See, please leave them to keep comparing abia with Lagos. it is actually a compliment to the governors achievements.

it was how LegendHero was hyping his IgAaar until he looked down and realized he'd "shot his foot off"

That your region has been underdeveloped since 1960.

Only God can rescue you people, since you keep electing inept leaders like Agulu Master every four years, thinking you're spitting Yorubas.

I've been saying it that Netherlands will win this world cup.

It's too early.
France is still at the World cup

BeeNG3:
SOUTH AFRICA WILL CRASH OUT and A SHAME for allowing them to get to this stage.

Leave South Africa alone.
It's your people that go there to commit various crimes

It's you that you should be ashamed

SundiKeita:
Me thinks its more strategic than anything else..
Ghana plan was to top group L or finish 3rd best conceding 1 goal against them...finishing 2nd in group L isnt an option. Both round 32 and round 16 games for 2L runner up is being played in Canada meaning Ghanaian player Thomas Partey who has been denied visa by Canada misses both games if Ghana make it that far..
Looks like their plan worked

Ghana team is not good, period!

Pootle:
may if left then, one of those shooting that happens in the US would have ended you prematurely. every occurrence in life happens for a reason

Na lie!
Hundreds of thousands of Nigerians are living in the US.
How many have been shot?

You will find love without money, but only when you're a boy. When you become a man, that grace is taken from you.

There's a level of affection you will NEVER experience, even from good women, if you can't afford a basic, livable income.

I am not even referring to sending money in its monetary form. I mean just the things that make life easier to go through.

My partner had a job interview in another city last year. Not a local thing – a real opportunity, the kind that could shift her career.

The interview was at 9 AM on a Monday.

She told me about it on Thursday evening.

By Friday morning, I had booked her a bus ticket for Sunday, reserved a decent hotel room near the venue so she wouldn't be scrambling on Monday morning, and sent her money for a new blouse because the one she planned to wear had a pulled thread she hadn't noticed.

She did her prep on Saturday. I sat on a video call with her for nearly 3 hours while she practiced her answers. Not because she asked – because I knew she was nervous and wouldn't say it.

Sunday evening she got to the city. She called me from the hotel room.

"Babe, it's clean. There's hot water. I feel like a human being."

That sentence hit me differently.

"I feel like a human being."

The bus ticket, the hotel, the blouse – maybe ₦85,000 total. Not a fortune. But it was the difference between her showing up stressed, underprepared, and exhausted from an overnight bus… and showing up rested, sharp, and confident.

She got the role.

This isn't a one-off. This is just what being present looks like when you can afford to be.

I keep a stocked kitchen whenever she's around. Not fancy things – eggs, bread, rice, the basics. But ALWAYS stocked. Because "there's nothing at home" is a sentence I don't allow in my house.

I handle data and subscriptions without being asked. Netflix, the Wi-Fi router, her Spotify. Small things. Maybe ₦15,000 a month combined. But she never has to think about them. That's the point.

I can't stand the heat. I physically cannot function when it's 35 degrees inside. So if I can't take it, how can I let her sit in it? That's fuel money. Every single day when there's no grid power. 5 to 7 litres. Daily. Especially when she's staying over.

We don't do "let's manage." We don't trek to places. It's always a cab or a keke at minimum.

That's not luxury. That's what I consider basic.

Add it up over a year:

Fuel for the generator. Transport every weekend. Groceries restocked every week. Subscriptions renewed every month. Random needs – a drug she needs at midnight, airtime when her line runs out during something important, data when she's on deadline.

That sums up to well over 2 million naira each year. And I'm not talking about MONEY sent as money. I am just referring to basic convenience.

The things that make a woman feel like she's with someone who has capacity. Not wealth. CAPACITY.

Your best bet as a young man is waiting until you're certain that love is ALREADY present before following through with generosity.

So yes, you can find love without money.

But there's a level of love you cannot preserve without financial stability, not because your partner is a bad girl, but simply because this is the fucking planet, and the nuances that make life beautiful, or at least livable, are expensive.

In summary, you'll find love without money as I did all through the years when I was a boy.

That grace is removed when you become a man.

You're not wise

Samtob90:
How many have been closed down? Same lies your father told you is what you are passing to your children.

No one is supposed to share the same country with those people.

That's why I don't care about all these reforms the great Jagaban is embarking upon.
The most important thing is to restructure the country into regions, the way it was pre 1966 era.

If it's possible, let them insert secession clause in the constitution.

No hope for Nigeria without these steps being taken as quickly as possible.

naijacann:
Yes, Mbah is doing so well. The only reason why you don't hear his name on the lips of every Igbo man the way they do with Otti is that he committed that very first sin of not winning the election that brought him into power. A typical Igbo man likes equity, justice, fair play and clean hands. Otti won his elections clear and clean. Enugu's election was clearly won by Labour Party's Edeoga, but the incumbent PDP Gov severely rigged it for Mbah. Even Prof Iweh, the returning officer that declared the result made it clear that the results he was about to read did not reflect the wishes of the voters but was handed to him to read anyways. This is a bitter pill for an Igbo man to swallow. Same situation exists for Hope Uzodinma who is also doing well. Unfortunately, he did not came to office with clean hands. 4th position became first position. Had this been in some other parts of the country, they wouldn't care how you came into office. Igbo man behaves differently. Having said that, Mbah is doing well and must be praised.

Chai!

Everyone is delusional in the Ugwu land.
Who do una like this?

ejieddy:
Honestly that's my only problem with him. I guess he has to do that to be able to get this opportunity and to stay on his oga's good side.

Na presidency dey hungry you.
Come January 2027, you go wail in to oblivion.

Carry your meaningless explanation commot for this thread!

You like equity, justice bla bla bla!
...
And your region keep producing inept leaders since independence

Alphafarms:
After next year's elections, they will say they found drugs in the airport, and close the airport back to square one. Go tell children this story, not we that know how Nigeria treats the Igbos. My peace I give to you

My bloda,

Please, do you know if INEC intend to establish polling units in Asian prisons preparatory to 2027 elections?

CodeTemplar:
They will deliver a harsher sentence than would been given withoit that statement. Tinubu does not joke with politics.

I knew the person would be our bloda..
They always blame others for their stupidity

Prison is their natural habitat

skultrick:
In otherwords I will need atleast 4m to marry this woman....I thought they said marriage in yoruba land is cheap

This list here is VERY expensive...I can assure you won't spend this much in many places in the enugu....

Not like the woman will even be faithful....

Enugu women wey dem don knack tire for Lagos and the East.

I can't spend much to marry a girl that has been mounted by multiple guys

Stephen0mozzy:
Congratulations to her, and well done to the family if they really modified the list 🤗 - but she no trust the guy to buy her stuff after the marriage? You know how much the wife items section go cost? 🤣

One whole maluu and iya goat don near or pass 1.5m

I think the South South still has the cheapest bride list - God bless my babe family 😁

South South?
Which state in the South South has the cheapest bride list?

Don't mention Rivers, please.

discusant:
When a multi religious and multi ethnic country becomes very dysfunctional like Nigeria, brilliant people in the country call for dissolution of the impossible country into more manageable countries.

It's most backward to clutch tight to a most dysfunctional country because of cheap cash from crude oil and gas deposits in one side of the country.
Switzerland 🇨🇭, for example, has no mineral resources.

The sweetness of one's country is how secure, happy and contented one's with one's country, not how rich or how big one's country is.

Nigeria was not welded together by colonial master with oxyacetylene gas.
In fact, if Nigeria is in Europe, it would have been dissolved long ago into more manageable countries, the same way Europeans tacitly approved the dissolution of the multi religious and multi ethnic countries in Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Go to the National Assembly to submit your proposal before the committee that's reviewing the constitution and stop disturbing us here.

Justnation:
"Go to Kwara and some part of Oyo and see how they are desperately attaching themselves to Fulanis by Identifying as “Yoruba Fulani”.. They just want Fulanis integration with Yorubas by force.."

This is a shocking development in yorubaland.
The yorubas have started making the same mistake the hausas made by attaching themselves as hausas fulani today the fulani have submerged the hausas and almost cleared up their identity as a distinct ethnic group.
If the yorubas are not careful very soon they will suffer the same fate as the hausas.

My bloda,

Leave Yoruba alone and pay attention to your abandoned region.

dappydozzy:
Stop misinforming people here, and talking balderdash. Being a muslim and Yoruba has nothing to do with Fulani. Not all Fulanis are criminals there are law-abiding Fulanis and you can profile Fulanis living with us for years as criminals. Most of the Fulanis doing kidnaps in Nigeria are foreigners.
I am Yoruba Christian, i have cousins that are muslims are they Fulani ?

That guy you replied is our bloda Their region is the unsafest in Nigeria but they are not bothered

As of today, there are more non indigenes residing in war torn Borno than the whole of South East.

CyynthiaKiss:
As a Christian Yoruba, I don’t trust Yoruba Muslim at all..

Go to Kwara and some part of Oyo and see how they are desperately attaching themselves to Fulanis by Identifying as “Yoruba Fulani”.. They just want Fulanis integration with Yorubas by force..

Sad situation we are into. We are in a serious trouble in South west ,,

Everyone has abandoned South East due to insecurity. Most of your bllodas are seeking refuge in South West but you are not bothered about that.

Maxi Simon Ekpa's boys have put all of you in captivity perpetually.

Tenses:
Soludo has brought back the impunity, radcality and corruption Mr. Peter Obi eradicated in Anambra state.

Why do you people love deluding yourselves?

Agulu Obi is just a pretender. He is absolutely corrupt.

bigpicture001:
I have always disagreed.wity this anti Eze thing...ppl who criticize this Eze thing do not live in cosmopolitan cities ..


I was born and bread in Lagos...besides my house is a big northerner called seriki, in his house which is even rented I where all those northern guyz guy for wallah, he sends Salah meat all over the streets..an all issue involving the northers in that area are reported to him and settled in perfect peace.

Even the police admitted that his position help them sorry out issues with northern more easily than if they dnt have a leader...


So why then does the Igbo leaders of ONLY the Igbos in that area now a big deal?


It is sheer dislike for igbos and hatred for them...come.to Awka,, Anambra state...Yorubas have a Yoruba leader ND no one is fighting them for it

Stop lying.

Only you and your bllodas live in the SE

pobosky20:
Israel possesses substantial weapon-production capabilities and is among the leading defense-exporting countries globally.
Even the fighter jets it gets from the US are mostly modified. So, Israel can stand alone.

Why do you people disturb yourselves about the affairs of other countries?
The countries that don't even care about your existence.

Is it idleness or what?

obiekunie01:
oga Iran used weapons bought from Russia, north Korea and China to attack Israeli civilian population.

Even their uranium enrichment is contracted to Russia.

Try get enlightened.

Why do you people always get emotional when Isreal is being discussed

I heard you claimed your ancestors came from Isreal.
But isreal has severally debunked your lies. They even came here to collect the DNA samples of some of you.
But you're still not tired of your attache by force.
Stop embarrassing yourselves, please!

obiekunie01:
Very important Sir.

Why i like you and your people is the fact that you know you are surrounded by enemies and need to evrything possible to defend yourselves at all times.

PLEASE SIR DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO BE LESS DEPENDENT ON AMERICAN WEAPON. ISRAEL IS VERY CAPABLE OF MANUFACTURING YOUR OWN TOP GRADE WEAPONS.

He who is surrounded by enemies is always watchful over his life (Igbo adage).

You wey never chop dey give advice to a Prime Minister.

Give better advice to yourself!

Kajaard:
This is not the head of a 33 years old man. This man should be clocking 60.

Na poverty make the head look like that

givedemwotowoto:
If this allegation is true (people believe it is), then in order to replicate this nationwide, they'll have to import millions of people from nearby countries for the general election.

Is this why there's high insecurity and banditry, and government is pretending and looking the other way?

Pay more attention to your underdeveloped region and leave our land alone

No place can be like Lagos in your region because only you and your bllodas live there

That's why you don't live long due to bitterness

esnbrutality:
See cying...

Is that why even with all ypur Presidents, you still sell your inheritance to t IGBO man?

Everyone is investing in the South West, even Chinese and Indians.

How come ubiquitous investors like BUA, Dangote, Otedola, Eleganza Chinese, Indians etc are avoiding your regiion like a plague?
How come only you and your blodas live there?

Are you aware Dangote bought the land he used for his refinery alone for $100m?

And everything you have in Lagos is not to 5% of that.

Hahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha
