One major reason I cannot marry from Igbo tribe is their "get rich or die trying" mentality, which leads to a higher prevalence of crimes and immoral acts within the entire tribe. While it's true that not all Igbo individuals share this mindset, those who don't are few in number, and this is why they might feel disheartened by the generalization associated with their tribe. Some even choose to distance themselves from their fellow Igbos and prefer not to live among them, likely feeling like they don't belong in their own tribe. I sympathize with these individuals, as they might sometimes feel like they were born into the wrong tribe.

Nollywood, the Nigerian film industry, has played a significant role in shaping religious perceptions among the Nigerian populace. In many older Nollywood films, traditional religious deities are often depicted as powerless when pitted against the God of Abraham. These movies frequently portray scenes where pastors use the Bible to defeat traditionalists who rely on objects associated with traditional religious practices.

This cinematic portrayal has led many to believe that pastors possess extraordinary powers, as depicted in these films. As a result, genuine spiritual leaders are often overlooked because they cannot perform the miracles seen in movies. This has prompted some pastors to resort to faking miracles to attract followers. Over time, this obsession with miracles has led some pastors to delve into sorcery and ritualism, further distorting religious practices.

Nollywood's depiction of traditional religions in a negative light has contributed to the decline of interest in these beliefs, while simultaneously promoting a distorted image of Christianity. Ultimately, this has led to the rise of fake religious leaders who exploit people's desire for miracles. As long as Nigerians continue to seek miracles, the number of counterfeit religious leaders will likely keep increasing, creating a cycle of demand and supply.

Shalom!

That's the way it is everywhere.

That's not true. It's only in Igbo culture that ones financial status and wealth are deeply intertwined with authority and eldership within a family. In Igbo families, a younger individual who has accumulated wealth often hold more sway and command greater respect than an older, less affluent family member. This strong association between money and social standing explains why most Igbo individuals resort to questionable means or engage in criminal activities to achieve financial success, as it is seen as a prerequisite for societal relevance. Among Nigerian ethnicities, Igbo culture is widely perceived as having a particularly pronounced emphasis on 'materialism'.

This is grossly unislamic.

They are supposed to be flogged with SLIPPERS!


Here is a an extract from Ibn Kathir on Qur'an 4:15-16
[i](And the two persons among you who commit illegal sexual intercourse, punish them both.) Ibn `Abbas and Sa`id bin Jubayr said that this punishment includes cursing, shaming them and beating them with sandals. This was the ruling until Allah "abrogated" it with flogging or stoning, as we stated. Mujahid said, "It was revealed about the case of two men who do it." As if he was referring to the actions of the people of Lut, and Allah knows best. The collectors of Sunan recorded that Ibn `Abbas said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

You don't seem to understand the meaning of the word 'abrogated.' That's why you said, 'They are supposed to be beaten with slippers.' The word 'abrogated' refers to the abolition or annulment of something, typically in the context of laws or agreements. In this case, the law that previously called for punishment by beating with sandals was later abolished and replaced with flogging or stoning.

Why was IREV shutdown? Dont tell me you believe that technical glitch narration

It seems you may have missed the part where I mentioned that the election was not free and fair, as all candidates, including Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi, engaged in election malpractices. Both Tinubu and Obi attempted to rig the elections in their strongholds, while Atiku relied primarily on vote buying. However, it was alleged that Tinubu went a step further by using the INEC staff to tamper with the results, ultimately securing his victory. This suggests that none of the candidates were innocent, as they all tried to manipulate the election in their favor. In the end, Tinubu, the candidate accused of the most extensive rigging, emerged as the winner.

Shalom!

ValarDoharis:
You were here Fed 25, 2023. You saw how IREV was shutdown for almost 24hrs. Before the shutdown, results coming in showed Obi winning. Clear states like Rivers where Obi won, his resukts were swapped for Tinubu. This has been confirmed. Same with Benue. Obi got almost a million votes in Lagos but this was halved to 520k

Both Tinubu and Obi had people who rigged the election for them—in the East and South, there were places where no one could vote for anyone other than Obi, and the same was true for Tinubu in some areas. In contrast, Atiku primarily relied on vote buying, yet he still managed to secure the second place.

You believed Obi had won because you thought that the efforts of Igbo people, along with those of some supporters from the North Central region, were enough to secure his victory. However, it's essential to consider the votes from other states and regions where Obi did not receive as much support. Did you account for the votes from these areas, or did you assume that Obi's support in the East and North Central regions would be sufficient to counterbalance any losses in other parts of the country?

Regarding your claim that the IReV system was shut down, and the results were tampered with, leading to Tinubu's victory over Obi, it's crucial to acknowledge that the 2023 election was not free and fair, as all candidates engaged in election malpractices. Ultimately, Tinubu, who went extra mile to use INEC emerged as the winner. Had Peter Obi won despite these irregularities, you would have been content, while Tinubu and Atiku's supporters would be lamenting the outcome. That's politics for you! Let's put the past behind us and focus on our present and the future.


Peace!

ValarDoharis:
Obi won the 2023 election.
IREV was shutdown when they saw Obi winning to take away transparency so that they could alter results to favour Tinubu through the manual paper process which they did.

INEC is a fraud. One day, an INEC staff will confess!

Lol, the claim that Obi actually won the election appears to be a coping mechanism, employed to manage the emotional anguish resulting from his defeat. Believing that he was the rightful winner despite finishing in third place is akin to a student with a third-class degree insisting that he deserved a first-class grade, but was unfairly disadvantaged. It would have been more reasonable and logical if Obi had come in second place, making such a claim more credible.

Peace!

It's extremely cold in the UK, while some regions in Nigeria are sleeping in their boxers due to the heat. Life truly no balance!

On a side note, If na Nigerian government increased electricity bills now, chaos would ensue, trust Obidients, dem go write full theses on this matter. But because it's happening in a supposedly more developed country, it's considered okay. Regardless, living in Europe isn't as easy as some might think Ooo.

Na lie bro,is not possible

The situation is quite difficult to comprehend, but it is the reality. The very individuals who rely on generators to offer phone charging services and those who profit from selling these generators often actively resist improvements in our power supply. Similarly, farmers, who continue to benefit from relatively moderate production costs, still prefer to maintain high food prices to safeguard their own financial interests.
Surprisingly, both groups frequently blame the government for the high cost of essential services and goods, effectively deflecting responsibility for a situation they have helped perpetuate. These behaviors highlight the complex, interwoven challenges we face in our pursuit of progress and the importance of addressing individual 'attitudes and mindsets' as we work to create a more equitable society.

Peace!

The day members of the Association of Phone Charging Businesses stormed NEPA's office to protest against the improved power supply in my town, claiming it was harming their businesses, na that day Nigerians matter tire me. We Nigerians often create our own problems and tend to exploit each other, yet we consistently shift the blame onto our leaders. This incident showcased how we sometimes choose to prioritize short-term personal gains over long-term national progress.

Wasteful project. 15bn invested in the power sector will do great for power generation, but people will call me a hater now

15 billion Naira for power generation appears to be inadequate. Such an amount may only be suitable for powering a housing estate and falls short of addressing the energy needs of a state, region or the entire nation. To substantially enhance Nigeria's power infrastructure, a more considerable investment of up to 15 billion US dollars in power generation is necessary. This would likely yield a more substantial and long-lasting impact on the nation's electricity supply, ultimately contributing to its overall economic growth and development.

Nobody is causing confusion here , if at all you wanted to punish anyone ,it should be the person who lied , cajoled, drugged, deceiver himself into the presidency of Nigeria and not the person who by military fiat took over , by military fiat created states, organized elections, canceled elections. Good look in your selective amnesia.

Lol, the irony is that even Igbos, who are associated with drug trafficking worldwide, mock Tinubu for his alleged ties to drug trade, while approximately 1.5 million Igbos are imprisoned in India alone for the same offense. If you agree with me that this isn't about tribalism but rather individual choices and consequences, ask yourself if you're genuinely better than Tinubu. If you've never made his kind of mistakes, how can you be certain you won't in the future? And if you have, would you appreciate being judged, mocked, and hated for it for the rest of your life? Furthermore, It's time for us to also move past the lingering resentment over Tinubu's controversial election victory. Dwelling on the past will not change the outcome, nor will it benefit anyone.

Moreover, free and fair elections have never been a reality in Nigeria; it has always been a contest of who can rig the best. Though Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar also participated in rigging attempts, Tinubu, as a master strategist, emerged victorious. Blindly trusting any politician and vilifying others is fruitless, as all politicians are fundamentally the same.

Nigeria is corrupt beyond your imagination, even if a leader intends to reform Nigeria to benefit the masses, the elites will never allow it, resorting to extreme measures, including assassinations. The unprecedented love and support Buhari received did not stop him from failing his supporters, because his life was under threat, just as Obi and Atiku likely would have also failed if they had won.

Unlike Obi and Atiku, Tinubu has the audacity to enact substantial changes, and his ongoing reforms should be constructively critiqued rather than simply disparaging him as a drug lord who rigged the election. Such constant complaints will not bring about any positive change.

Embracing Tinubu's presidency and offering thoughtful, unbiased feedback on his policies will be far more productive than harboring hatred and perpetuating division. After all, some of Tinubu's bold actions and policies have the potential to accomplish more than his predecessors, who chose to merely patch up problems instead of solving them and blame previous administrations for Nigeria's lack of progress.

Lol, it is surprising that Akufo-Addo, who is often criticized as the worst president in Ghana's history for failing to sign the anti-LGBTQ law despite having the power to do so, is now calling for Nigeria's elites to take the lead in West Africa. When Nigeria took the lead in enacting anti-LGBTQ law in the region, did he follow suit?

Now that it has been proven that America is responsible for the terrorism faced by Nigeria and other countries, no one has exonerated Muslims; they are still considered terrorists. However, the real terrorists are the ones funding terrorism, not the innocent, gullible, and jobless youth who are being exploited. These funders could manipulate any group of unemployed youth into believing they are making sacrifices for a cause that is sensitive in their region or country.

In Nigeria, Arewa youths were deceived with money and the assumption that they were doing a service to their religion (Islam), while Igbo youth were deceived by money and the belief that they were fighting for liberation from Nigeria. In reality, the funders of terrorism have ulterior motives, just like politicians who use street gangs to commit crimes. While these youths are not innocent, they wouldn't be committing such acts if they weren't recruited and manipulated by those in power. This means that the politicians and those funding terrorism are the real criminals and terrorists, not the youth they exploit.

If you are a good person, you will find good people to support and help you in your endeavors. Conversely, if you are an evil person, you will find gullible and vulnerable youth to exploit for your terrorism and crimes. These misguided individuals could also be used for good if they are provided with proper guidance, financial support, and a positive environment. Bin Laden, for instance, worked for America, not for Islam, until he realized he had been manipulated into fighting against his own people, the Arabs, and his religion. When he turned against America, they declared him a terrorist.

It's important to note that the majority of those killed by America were either good people or individuals who had repented and changed their ways. The real issue lies with the individuals and organizations that fund and manipulate vulnerable people to serve their selfish agendas, not the people being used as pawns in their schemes. Muslims are not terrorists!.

Lol. that's not true. India is actually the 'world capital of skin bleaching'.

LegendHero:
You’re correct. Then they will probably commission it very soon.

Nice one. Let’s see how it goes.

This reminds me of me of Obasanjo statement that “No refinery will work in Nigeria”. The man lack foresight, I wonder what he will be thinking now.

Lol, I think you might be missing the bigger picture here. Baba's words actually come from his own experiences and struggles to revive the refineries, but despite all his efforts and the investments made by subsequent administrations, it's been a tough nut to crack. So don't you find it a bit strange that the refineries have suddenly started working now?

One possible factor contributing to this development might be the removal of fuel subsidies. But let's be honest, would any other politician besides Tinubu have had the courage to do that? It's doubtful. If Tinubu hadn't won the election, it's highly likely that even after eight years, neither Obi nor Atiku could have fixed the refineries.

Another factor to consider is the possibility that powerful forces may have been deliberately keeping our refineries non-functional for their own selfish reasons. Now that these forces have gained control of the government, they've conveniently relocated part of their oil blending business from Malta to Nigeria, giving the impression that they've miraculously achieved what previous administrations could not. If Tinubu hadn't won the election, it's doubtful that these powerful forces would have allowed the revival of Nigeria's refineries, as it would have conflicted with their own interests and objectives.

While it may be tempting to celebrate this supposed achievement, don't start just yet. We can't be sure if the refineries will keep functioning smoothly after this administration ends. It's entirely possible that once they're no longer in power, the refineries might be neglected once again. And in the end, these very people might just end up selling the refineries to themselves under the guise of privatization. So, let's keep a watchful eye on the situation and see how it all unfolds before jumping to conclusions or praising anyone for a job well done.


Peace!
