Yes Igbos are the solution just like how Ikpeazu is the solution in Abia state with over 12 months unpaid salary

Gbam.... Igbo are the solution just like in Osun

Ritchiee:
I even asked them to name a company own by an Igbo or group of them that has lasted longer than 40 or 30 years.They were dunmbfounded.They are just imagining things based on 2×2 shops that have not stop them going to Mal......... ..

LoL.... Dick measurer

dukeprince50:
I am, but you make others look like they are doing nothing, to be frank I envy the Igbo's and Yorubas but not like just Igbo's are the solution

Igbo are the solution.... Others are just laying

Lately the Nigerian public was outraged over the new Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) rates on cash deposits above five hundred thousand Naira. Describing the new banking policy as outdated, antiquated and retrogressive by some folks while some see it as a weclomed development. Some Nigerians have lashed out on the apex bank describing the policy as  demonstration of systematic way of killing the new found cashless economy, which the Jonathan era financial managers tried to ensure that it works in Nigeria. As it stands now, it is a bit hazy and confusing out there for Nigerians but CBN has made their position clear and it is expected that financial institution must comply. 

What is the crux? There was a circular, In a circular to all deposit money banks (DMBs), the Director, Payments System Management Department at the CBN, Sam Okojere, it said henceforth 3 percent processing fee would be paid for withdrawals and 2 per cent for deposits of amounts above N500,000 for individual accounts.

Apart from the populace, the top shots and elites are not finding the policy palatable and the house of representative directed that the policy be stopped with immediate effects. The big question is; would CBN governor budge or call them bluffs? As it stands now, his stand is that of the latter than former because, he isn’t answerable to them. The new twist is that people are confused while the  politics is still in effects since there hasn’t been any announcement from the apex bank.

Nigerians have been divided on this, according to Patrick Thorpe “ I believe that this policy is  in the right direction. It is preventive; it would encourage people to use more of the electronic means to make transactions instead of sitting on huge ash. How can people be having over 10 million in their homes and shops and these monies aren’t fully captured by the economy. They do cash most times. You don’t try this madness in developed countries where you use cash for bulk purchases; it is only in Nigeria that people carry bags of money around. This has to stop and this is the right policy.”

According to Fatungase Nosa Emmanuel, he went all ballistic, he said" This CBN governor is the worst, dumb governor. Must you enforce cashless policy, the economy transcend to cashless policies if the economy is good. You don't force it by increase hardship on the masses. How do you expect uneducated market women to go cashless. No sensitization of the masses you and you are  saying cashless."

"In simple terms, FG is trying to dissuade people from cash deposits, money laundering and long queues in the banking hall. So if you go to make a deposit with above 500k, you will pay a surcharge of 15k.If you go to the bank and ask for a withdrawal above 500k, you will pay a surcharge of 10k.This includes and is not limited to other bank transfer charges. In summary, you can transfer above 500k via online banking for the normal 50naira charge. It’s even risky handling such cash withdrawal, and it’s a right step in enforcing cashless economy. If you have never filled a withdrawal form of above 500k in a bank, please this policy has nothing to do with you", queried Sillyking Chyme.https://etimes.com.ng/the-new-cbn-deposit-rates-nigerians-divided-and-worried-over-the-need/

Personal (Individual) Account minimum deposit is N500k. If you deposit above N500k, Bank will charge you 2% on the excess. Corporate (Business) is N3m minimum deposit. If you deposit above N3m, Banks will charge you 3% on the excess.

*For Withdrawals: Personal (Individual) Account, Minimum Withdrawal - N500k, while (3%) is on the excess withdrawal above N500kCorporate (Business) Account, Minimum Withdrawal is N3m. The 3% will apply when you go withdrawal above N3m.

Speaking on the directive, Adedeji Azeez opined that "Please those who have bank accounts must have by now been notified by their banks about this new CBN directive. They are not meant for small savers. They are targeting accounts with balances from 500k and above. Though I'm not in support of the new circular because banks I know would overstep their bound and spread it over every account small or big."

"The charges is for deposit and withdrawal of N500, 000 and above, no problem at all when next you to withdraw or deposit just do N450,000 then go back later and deposit the remaining and nothing will happen. Thank me later",Dayo Omodare  added.

As Nigerians, high and low worry about the new deposit rates, it has been said that this policy would deepen and widen the "unbanked". Nigerians that doesn’t have bank accounts are in the neighborhood of 60% - 70%  making it one of the highest in the continent. The previous government has tried to make people visit the banking halls and made accounts opening procedures easier. Would this policy shore up the government revenue or scare people away from banks, making government to lose revenues from cash on transfer (COT) Value added tax (VAT) and others? Time would tell.

ML SUV is not that expensive, I bought one 2 weeks ago

donbachi:
what about a second wife with husband's second male child?

READ THE LNK

Our ancestors had forewarned that “ụzọ eji nwa adịghị èchí échî” meaning that a marital relationship that has produced a child can never be deemed closed or ended.

Even as at that, it is natural for a man or woman when fed up with a marriage to decide to call it quits.

However, the colonial inspired superiority of the western courts over Igbo cultural norms has now made it easier for many couples of Igbo extraction to sidestep the extant traditional ways and methods of resolving marriage challenges and now prefer to approach the regular courts for divorce rather than following the ancestral route.

Chief Ekwueme was confused as his head was being pushed out of his neck by the weight of the embarrassment caused by his wife’s sexual escapes as being rendited by his cousin who presented him with proofs, dates, places and the names of her male accomplices.

It was too much a pain for one man to carry. He had it up to the hilt and a solution must be found.

Ekwueme had married Ukwunnu when she was 16 and himself was 32. He was now 55 years old and the wife was just 39 with increased libido.

Ekwueme not only deflowered Ukwunnu but was also responsible for her quick development of all feminine features that would make a woman delectable.

Ukwunnu’s adazị enu, adazị nnukwu and adazị anị or ogbe ndịda were very well developed and more beautiful than the towns that bear the names.

Ekwueme was a stallion of a man as he mined his assets so deeply and very regularly that the wife, Ukwunnu thought that sex was the main purpose of marriage.

The became wife was very sexually active and was always very satisfied with no need to look somewhere for a top up.

Even with 8 children (consisting of five boys and three girls) born within the first 10 years of their marriage, Ukwunnu still looked unmined, untapped and full of allure.

She was nicknamed “Nwanyi dị ụtọ” meaning “a very sweet woman” by her hailers.

If she was walking on the road or standing by the road side, Ukwunnu’s beauty could command even a pius man to take a second look at her. Her beauty was just glorious.

A near perfect marriage of Chief & Mrs Ekwueme started experiencing a crack when the importation business of Chief Ekwueme suffered a downturn.

Being that every Igbo man’s sexual libido is tied to his financial health or to his pocket and to his state of happiness, Ekwueme started rationing the favorite sexual dish to his wife.

It’s known to Igbo men that only “obioma na-ebute utu nkeni” meaning that “it’s only a man with no worries could experience a spontaneous penile erection”. Therefore, the economic woes were making it difficult for the real Chief Ekwueme to stand erect either spontaneously or through persuasion.

Most times, Ekwueme would not even touch his wife for weeks without knowing that he was creating a monster.

The sweetness of a good intercourse from a heroic man like Ekwueme was like a hard drug which must not be withdrawn abruptly but gradually from a sex addict wife.

A few weeks’ denial to a woman used to a regular dosage of sex is like starving a cocaine addict of a day’s tincture of the whitish substance. Not the kind of blissful happiness Ekwueme shelled out from his loins!

Ekwueme had it in size, fullness, length and he could also last as long as it took Madam Ukwunnu to shout “nna ukwu gbuom ta kam nwụọ!”

So, only an experienced psychologist would understand why Ukwunnu went fishing for any other man who could help her feel a masculine power as in the old. She could no longer suffer in silence. At was, she could manage marijuana in place of cocaine.

Inuandated with reports of proven adulterous acts of his wife, Chief Ekwueme was forced to set a trap and was able to catch her in the arms of a well-endowed plumber right there in his house.

Ekwueme had feigned that he had travelled, hung around with a cousin and resurfaced in the evening. He caught his wife screaming for more from a dirty looking plumber.

What a disgrace!

In most Igbo communities, adultery was not enough an offence for a man to divorce the mother of his children.

But, any woman who was guilty of murder or caught planting a juju for his neighbour, co-wife or any other person must be sent back to her people by the community even if her husband wanted her to stay. She would be permanently banished from her matrimonial home and the possibly from the village.

It must be noted that a case of adultery in the most pre-colonial Igbo communities was not a mortal sin.

In those days, when a woman was caught in the act, she would be publicly disgraced and fined. She was never even flogged or stoned.

The indicted adultress would be made to undergo a purification rite after which she would be left alone. Marital relationship with her husband would continue and after some time, nobody would remember her offence anymore.

Traditional Igbo men believed that children were better reared by their own mothers therefore, venial offences like adultery by a woman with children only attracted a fine or reprimands by the wives’ or Ndinyunyedi association, daughters or Umuada meeting and the men’s or Umunna meeting.

The husband of a woman caught in the act of adultery might decide to take a second wife and leave the first wife to her own devices.

The woman would then go into descret community service of ever willing philandering men in the neighborhood.

However, some Igbo communities allowed for a married man and woman to have an “Iko or Agịlị” with whom a sexual intercourse was allowed.

Approved adultery by way of Ịko or Agịlị is still being practised in some Igbo communities of Aguleri, Umuleri, Anam and local communities in Onitsha Ado.

But some communities categorized as “ndi na-akwa akwa Nwanyi” or “those who would rather kill than to share sexual experience with anyone else” like Ụmụọwa in Imo State and Obukpa Nsukka in Enugu State still have institutionalized traditional juju that would make an adulterous woman married to their men go mad or fall so sick till she confesses. In a classic case of biasedness, their adulterous men are never so afflicted.

The early Catholic Missionaries in Igbo land, in couching the 8th Commandment, targeted the “Iko” practice by translating the English version of “thou shalt not commit adultery” to “akwana iko”.

But, if an Igbo man was insisting on divorcing his wife for any offence or no offence at all, he would simply visit his inlaws accompanied by a relation or a friend, with a keg of palm wine inside which is inserted a leaf of “Ube” or local pear tree.

The host inlaws or the wife’s relations would discover the Ube leaf while the wine is being served and get the unambiguous “we no marry again” message.

Alternatively, the husband’s people would present the keg of palm wine to the father of their wife or his representative and stylishly drop the Ube leaf atop the palm wine keg and leave immediately without saying a word.

The Ube leaf delivers the divorce verdict of “Ube belu n’oke” i.e “we have drawn a boundary in our marital relationship with your daughter”.

This is followed by a formal request by the husband or his people for a refund of the bride price which could be refunded whenever the woman remarries.

The inlaws whose daughter had begotten male children for her husband would just laugh off the whole exercise relying on the Igbo saying that “uzo eji nwa adịghị èchí échî”.

They would just take back their daughter and wait for the appropriate time.

The appropriate time is when the sons of a divorced woman are of age. At that time, she would majestically go back home to live with her children; even though she would be addressed as “mother of Ekwueme’s children” not “Ekwueme’s wife”. But, does it matter?

Even in between that time she was divorced, a mother is duty bound to attend any of her daughter’s traditional marriage ceremonies held in her estranged husband’s house.

The woman is never prevented from performing the traditional role of the “mother of the bride” even when the father of the bride had married another woman who raised the bride.

Igbos say “ọzụzụ zụ chaa naa, onye nwe nwa, nwe nwa!” meaning that “a child still belongs to the biological mother no matter the efforts of a foster parent!”

Divorcing a woman who has begotten a male child(ren) either in court or via a traditional method in Igbo land, is a mere waste of effort and time.

A grown male child has every right and traditional cover to bring back his divorced mother to live with him in his father’s compound even when his father is still active and are alive. This is faster when a son has built his own house.

A son can also bury his divorced mother beside his uncompromising father. The son now calls the shots and the dead father at this time man would be lying silent in the grave. The dead couple would have to sort themselves out in the neitherworld.4

Even the food brownish color looks terrible ....

Why do people eat that stuff

TRYGO:
I think this has to do with geographical or let's say people's allegiances to certain brands, countries, or so.

For instance,
North! obsessed with Honda. France is an extremely liberal country, etc.

Southeast! Benz, fords,. They live Americans that much guys.
Basically, more American and German cars over there.

Southwest! Depends on which part of the southwest though.
Transporters mostly cherished Nissans, and Mazdas.
You can't delineate Lagos from VW(the danfos).

Niger Delta! I think those guys over there are a combination of brands choices of the southeast, and southwest.


These are just my observations and nothing else.
I'm not trying to Stoke up some kind of regional superior warfare here.

on point...the igbo love benz and bmw while hausa love honda

benin city again

Cities in Nigeria has some kind of affinity to a particular brand of car. Ibadan is used to Nissan Micra while Sagamu , Kano is Honda , Abuja is Nissan Sunnby and Peougot cars ,in Ogun state is comfortable with Mazdas, Owerri is Passat but in Benin it’s a different kettle of fish . The ancient city of Benin choose Audi 80.

A car some people have seen to be problematic, a car that people have changed the acronym to Automobile Under Devil’s Influence (Audi) 80 percent. Though it might sound funny, but people that drives that car outside Benin has come to see that car as trouble while those that in Benin has exorcised the devil of the car or has delivered themselves from from the problem of the car.

Having traveled many cities , I took time to engage some of the local folks on the love for Audi ! One drive Osas said in pidgin that ” this is a wonderful car, when you buy the one that the engine is good, the car has German engineering and this is what makes me like the car” he added
Patrick Osamudiamen , a transporter that Okies Benin -Okada route when engage has all the praises for the car. He said that ” one thing that I love this Audi product is the simplicity of the engine and availability of the parts. The car can be easily fixed by anyone. Though it’s an old model ,it’s a very good car, better than those of the recent models”, he concluded.

Accor,ding to the Wikipedia, The Audi 80 is a compact executive car produced by the German manufacturer Audi(initially known as Auto Union and Audi NSUAuto Union) from 1966 to 1996. It shared its platform with the Volkswagen Passat from 1973 to 1986 and was available as a sedan, and an Avant (Audi’s name for a station wagon). The coupé and convertible models were not badged as members of the range, but shared the same platform and many parts.

David Adeleke known as Davido is on the news again, not that he has ever left the news, always in the news but this time around it is the nuptials! The young , beats making, chat topping musician has proposed to his long time love Chioma.

Fans and industry watchers wasn’t all that dazed and amazed because from the look of things, Chioma was the chosen one amongst the Harlem of beauties the young musician have but what is on the lips of people is this; did Davido propose out of pressure considering his age and Chioma’s pregnancy or is the young man trying to make a statement that he is responsible after all.

With the wedding bells rings and the decibels are audible though a bit faint! Puritans and moralists have gone to social media asking about the wedding and also they have opined that it is wrong to get a lady pregnant before proposing. They are of the opinion of bed undefiled! But in a world that is much loosing the traditional norms for a fast paced life, it seems that the issue of chastity is going extinct.

Kingsley Nweze said “Is she tryna confuse us into not thinking she is a baby mama?
Nne am still looking into the dictionary to find words for this act, are you baby mama for some seconds or not entirely ?Meanwhile you got pregnant before the introduction then the proposal, baby bump is 6months. Happy for you sha.”

Jude Woke added that “Have anyone noticed that this days pregnancy before marriage is a thing of pride?

Jenifer Micheal implied that “I thought she said that she is not pregnant, so she dey shame before, abi David u just propose to her now becouse is a baby boy, Chioma you are lucky, has been is a girl you would have join d club of baby mamas”

Folks have supported Davido especially the fans that don’t see anything wrong in putting a girl in a family way before going to the altar. They likened it as test driving a car before buying. Saying that one must be “cock” sure of what he is heading to, a way of getting assurance and future insurance.

Tonia Arachie said “When a Man truly loves you, He celebrates you and thanks you for everything. Davido truly loves Chioma.”

As Davido Confirmed Chioma’s Pregnancy, Chioma Avril Rowland’s pregnancy has turned to be a subject of debate. The talented singer confirmed the news in an Instagram post where he thanked her for accepting his proposal and also for what they are expecting….possibly a boy!

A University of Glasgow student is using maths and computing skills to train young scientists in Africa to help push the frontiers of knowledge in science and technology.

Sofiat Olaosebikan, supported by students and staff at the University of Glasgow, has set up an initiative to teach and empower young scientists with the skills they need to help drive innovative research in the African continent.

Sofiat, is originally from Nigeria and is a PhD Computing Science student at the College of Science and Engineering in Glasgow, said: “There are lots of problems in Africa that need to be solved. My goal is to raise an army of intellectuals that are going to contribute to the development of Africa.Image result for Sofiat Olaosebikan

“I want to empower young scientists in Africa with the skills to help them bridge the gap between their pre-existing knowledge and real-world scientific problems. I believe that this will help them grow to become innovate thinkers who will push Africa forward on the frontiers of science and technology.

“I am a good example of one such African scientist who was empowered by the opportunities I have been given. This initiative was born out of a strong desire to give back to the community by helping other young scientists in Africa and show them what is possible.”

Since 2018, Sofiat with the support of the University’s School of Computing Science, has delivered computer programming workshops in Nigeria and Rwanda through her PWSAfrica project – which stands for Programming Workshop for Scientists in Africa.

She added: “For my team and I, the experience and the impact we have been able to make was worth all the effort to set up this initiative. For some of those that we worked with, they saw where I am right now as something they couldn’t achieve.

“But me standing in front of them teaching them something that they aspire to know and the fact I was also in their shoes only a few years ago, they tell me felt like an inspiration to them.”

Professor Chris Johnson, Head of the School of Computing Science, said he is fully supportive of PWSAfrica and the work being carried out by his students and colleagues: “The University is not an inward-looking institution. It shouldn’t be just about the campus or the building you are based in. It should be about your ability to get out, to influence how people think and how people learn in different countries.”

“With all the pressures that exist today in University life to bring in research grants and to teach increasingly larger numbers of students, it is absolutely fantastic when a few people do something different and challenge preconceptions and go out and do something that I think is important.”

Ifeoma Okoh and John Paul took part in the Nigerian workshop in 2018, and this year returned to PSWAfrica as tutors in Rwanda.

Ifeoma said: “Sofiat has brought so much empowerment to us from the UK to Nigeria. We have so much potential in Nigeria but sometimes it is the opportunity to actually show that which is missing.”

John Paul, who has now got a job at a software company where he hopes to design a new app to help detect breast cancer, said: “Sofiat is awesome and is such an inspiration. I want to be just like Sofiat.”

Rachel Sandison, Vice-Principal, External Relations commented that: “Sofiat is an excellent example of the University of Glasgow’s world-changing student community who are committed to making a difference at both a local and global level. We are incredibly proud of Sofiat’s achievements and ambitions, and are delighted that we can provide the supporting framework to make these dreams a reality.”Image result for Ifeoma Okoh glasgow university

Sofiat completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria before getting accepted to a fully funded masters programme at the African Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS). In 2016, she moved to Glasgow after being accepted for a PhD at the University’s School of Computing Science.

Sofiat said: “Throughout my education in Ibadan, I lacked access to learn programming because there were no opportunities available to me. I was introduced to Python programming at AIMS, after which I went on to consolidate the skills by learning online. Although my Python programming skills are largely self-taught, the exposure I got from AIMS made a significant impact on that journey. It is that lack of access to programming education in Africa that gave me the idea to start PWSAfrica.”

In 2018, with the support of the School of Computing Science, PWSAfrica started off a workshop series at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria, delivering two weeks of training which focused on the fundamental concepts of computer programming for scientific purposes.

Sofiat’s fellow PhD researchers and teaching assistants volunteered their own time and expertise to travel to Africa with her to work as tutors in the PWSAfrica workshops.

Sofia said: “In our first two-week long workshop we trained over 100 undergraduate and postgraduate students from various STEM departments on the basics of Python programming. It was a wonderful start and a huge success – for the students’ experience, and their voracious appetite for learning; for the team’s incredible journey, and the knowledge we imparted.

“This year, the project ran a second workshop at the University of Rwanda. We are very proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and we’re excited about making even more impact.”

why don’t we encourage our men too to be more responsible and stop impregnating girls they have no intention of marrying instead of always blaming and shaming the women. Typical African mentality. It takes two to make a baby you know.

And why don't the girls stop opening their kini big deal

Tibiman:
That’s y I said Yoruba can marry any tribe but not igbos. The igbos that are mostly married to yorubas can’t even speak their language and on top that don’t u see any agenda in what is going on. Where is Yoruba pride when all ur children r osu castes lmao. I’m ekiti and I lived in Oyo town for a long time and to be real no real Yoruba man will go for another outsider except the bastardized ones and most of u marrying outside don’t know Yoruba history or the history of people u r married into

Most Igbo men that marry Yoruba are always ashamed to show it ... Even Yoruba are running from their women

One was telling me that the Yoruba people told her husband not to marry her but to look for another tribes

Even one ondo girl hates to be called Yoruba because if this


Not that other tribes are saints but Yoruba woman drama too much

Igbos ! Private stadium

Our beautiful Idaughter has been elected into legislative assembly Manitoba Canada �


Her name is Uzoma Asagwara who Hails from Abia state. She is the second daughter of Chief Dr K.C Prince Asagwara. Uzoma is the first black woman in the legislature.


But here in Nigeria they said that Igbo are not good in politics but they have been getting elective roles from Canada to USA, from UK to Italy.

I think that the Igbo are not good in Nigeria brand and type of politics where nepotism, tribalism and other bizarre things happen that happen. So they left the local terrain for them and went international while their compatriots are going local!

We believe that if we can get it right and eschew quota, tribalism and religious leaning , then we can make a great nation and we hope that APC changes the narrative. We want a better country that our kids would be proud of !

There is a bushing in steering when they loose the steering and if they don't take time they spoil it... But it is manageable

Also, have the car alignment done also


If you are in Lagos and Ikeja area, I would recommend Oga John...he is good ! He is benz personified...be it any benz

You can call him to ask him any question..he is my mechanic....dude is so good ! 0802 643 7742


Then check steering rack, you can notice it when you turn, if it makes noise

Your folks voted ...deal with it

Tibiman:
Which Yoruba girl did he impregnates he impregnated edo girl n Togo girl, Chioma is not better than the two she just used the two baby mamas situation to better herself n step up her juju. You think she is only one at work. There r Igbo juju people behind her to make this happen. Igbos r hypocrites first they hate u then they will call u inlaw

Okay...we hear !

Ignorance! I just finished my ebolo vegetable soup.
Yorubas are highly urbanised and a lot of people have lost solid contact with their roots so they don't know much about the various local soups made by our grandmothers from very nutritious vegetables like amunututu, sokoyokoto, ebolo, efinrin, ewuro and gbure. These vegetables are also herbal remedies for those who know how to use them. All eaten with iyan in the villages.

There's also ila alasepo, gbegiri, apon (ogbono) and elegede soups. Ewedu is a wonderful vegetable and herbal medicine.

I agree that most young Yorubas don't know much about these veggies and most bukas prepare the cheapest vegetable and egusi or ewedu.

No .what about the Yoruba in Oyo, Osun, Ekiti , Ogun , Ondo are those one still urbanised? They still do stew thing
