Aren’t there people selling food in the motherland?

Why is it slavery when she does it abroad?

Lol. You dey answer bad belle people.

omooba969:
Gabriel Igbinedion is greater than Oba of Benin 💯, going by the history of the Benin kingdom.

Oba has a unique position. It is a continuous institution. The current Oba carries all the accolade of past obas.

Nobody in the kingdom ever exceeds that. There were always people richer financially than the oba since centuries, but all were and are still oba's subjects.

If one day Igbinedion goes, his Esama title will return to the palace. Oba will give it to another person. An Esama is a chief who is well-exposed, glamorous, able to dress almost as flamboyantly as the Oba.

So, it follows that it is title for a rich person who can finance it. Although many other things will be considered alongside wealth.

Representing the Oba dressed gorgeously at occasions, and being a BIG philantropist are some of the key duties.

In terms of position among his class of chiefs, the Eghaevbo n'Ore (Councillors of State), he is number 6 if the Queen Mother is alive. He is number 5 now that we have no Queen Mother.

Ahead of Esama in the hierarchy of 28 chiefs in his particular class of chiefs are : The Iyase (Prime Minister), Esogban (deputy PM), Eson, Osuma and the Queen Mother/Iye-Oba. Now that Esogban is late too, Esama is currently number 4.

None of the top 6 chiefs in this group are hereditary. Ologbosere is number 7 after Esama and is hereditary.

Like typical 9ja big guns, the man is not a saint BUT you can't accuse him of not investing in Nigeria.

Canada Dry, Okada Air, Real Estate, shipping, Agric, Education in general, Igbinedion University, heath care, you name it.

He has many firsts as an investor in many sectors of the economy. His university is 001 Private Uni in 9ja.

His soup kitchen those days fed many daily.

Happy birthday, Sir.

So in summary, you're still agreeing with what I said and contradicting what you initially stated.


In everything you've been saying, are you not agreeing then that men, good or whatever, are conned by women too?

I[b]f those women ended up with the 'best' of men as you claimed, they would not have cheated on them or did them bad.[/b]


Regardless of one's goodness or badness in the past, anybody can end up with a good person. Especially someone who is good to them, by their own standards.

Well, what if the women considered "naivety" of the nice men as one of the characteristics they wanted from the onset?
What if the ladies always wanted to keep their "bad girl" behaviour in marriage? And they knew such will be easier to do with a naive, innocent guy?

So imagine a dedicated nice guy, hardworking, provides well for her and kids and yet doesn't suspect her dirty ways. That would be a dream for a bad girl.

It's not so much about agreeing or disagreeing. Both men and women can be conned. It depends on which gender we are focussing on in a thread.

I know of guys I would never let go near my female relatives. Also girls I'd pray for my male relatives not to ever meet. A female friend once told me that she can never be cool with just one guy and demonstrated enough in practice. She also said a man who does not beat cannot expect her respect. She her good side but not in the matter of relationship. Messed up in that area.

Funny enough, the babe is tall and has a sexy shape. The type most guys will want to toast. So a guy who dates her and treats her like a queen is a mugu to her.

Magnoliaa:


This we can mostly agree on, even though I don't see life as all that good or bad.


If the innocent are always usually victims, then the 'best guy' you referred to will be gettibg deceived just as much as the 'good girl'.


Or (bad) consequences are only reserved for women in your own world?

In my view, a good woman really deserves a good guy, because good ladies are really few nowadays.

I know what I mean. I would not have said so 20 years ago.

I have be advocating for years here on NL now that a man that has not done paternity test on his kids has no biological kids yet.

I have been in the environment to know and it has been shocking.
I thought it happened to those outside that I was used to. Until a relative was deceived by a seemingly innocent girl with 3 kids fathered by hubby's friend and a relative.

He was rich and gave her everything. Tests to relocate the kids/family abroad as required by the embassy revealed the whole poo.

He died not too long after that. A healthy guy o. I have mentioned it many times on NL.

Several cases I know privately but none so close like this. Workwise, such cases yapa.

To raise kids that are not yours, you didn't adopt them but thought they were yours is one of the worst things you can experience.

If a man cheats outside, at least he won't force a stranger/kid on his wife at home.

Magnoliaa:


Big cope lmao.


What's fair about your equation if the "good girls" are gullible and vulnerable, but the "good boys" will not be gullible and shit as well?


If bad girls are wiser and that'll make them pick the best guys, will the wiser bad guys not pick the best women too?


I mean, how is it wiseness on the part of the woman, but deception on the part of the man?

Lol.

You see, the devil doesn't need to deceive bad person again. Na the converted be that.

A bad guy knows the good girl when he sees one. A good guy will take a babe at face value because he doesn't know what's up.

Bad guys of course want good wives and know how to avoid bad girls.

So in summary, in a corrupted world, the innocent is usually the victim.

All men who raise children sired by men outside are good guys. Every time.

A bad guy will have checked out his babe's communication steadily before going far.

Na so.

That's a fair deal, if you ask me.

But we all know good girls are easier to deceive by bad boys.

Bad girls are wiser and pick the best guys when ready to settle down.

That's a fair deal, if you ask me.

Any small thing, Rice. Wetin Rice do Nigeria people?


God bless the giver and the receiver.

Easiest food to cook. You can eat it with stew, fried egg, vegetable, beans, even oil rice. Raw rice is less perishable too.

Not my favourite food at all but saves billions of people worldwide. Consider Asian population without rice.

Have people considered this factor: Perhaps Igbo men marry later in life. They want to make money first.

As per nature, the older you get, the closer to the end of life.

As a kid, I observed that most Igbo guys married late, So the chances of leaving young kids behind increases generally.

Why can't anything be serious in this 9ja biko?

Even car thief lives on Japa Road. And dem think say dem go catch am?

This is one of the reasons why i respect Egypt, Ethipia, Syria and Greece. They've managed to maintain the name and the territory from then to now

E[b]gypt was never conquered at any point despite threatning expansive wars from Greece and Mongollia[/b]

Shame on Babylon and Assyria that werent strong enough to resist those world powers

The territories once occupied by Assyria and Babylonia are part of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran.

Dude, go and read Egyptian history well. It was conquered many times over.

How do you think the Greek General Ptolemy Soter came to found the ruling dynasty that later produced Cleopatra?

What was Ptolemy's boss, Alexander the Great's position over Egypt before his death?

What of the Ottomans?

In fact there were several.

Goodnewsforlife:
don't mind all those oversabi misogynist that call themselves feminist

All those fools with misplaced priorities, this man is trying to make people understand the value of family n raising children together than going apart

He made it clear something's are best settled at home cos if it escalates n it leads to duess he doesn't have issues with his wife at home cos if we are to go by his logic then couples should call police on each other at every small disagreement so it won't turn big

Don't bother. Let them follow oyinbo style. I only pity the kids that will be the victims.

They forgot that Western society puts a lot of pressure on immigrants and their marriages. African couples must manage these pressures.

Oyinbo don't care about you. They just want to adhere to laws they made without darkie culture and challenges in mind.

Nobody wants his sister or relative to endure physical abuse in 2024. So, that olopa can never advise women to accept beating. But you know these days, nothing a man says or does is right.

A decade ago, one lady used to call olopa on her hubby. At times, she can't even give a reason. When the hubby returns we will try to intercede and settle it. She gives flimsy excuses that even her fellow women were ashamed to hear.

Meanwhile my guy was planning to leave finally the last time she calls olopa again. Sure enough she did. My guy just carry bag comot.

Even we that used to intervene just steered clear. Nobody called her like we used to. One week, a month, 6 months, 1 year passed. Her eyes don clear now. Even her former friends who were pushing her into it now laugh at her.

It was tough for their kids in the beginning but they are managing. Fortunately, the kids know the truth.

Many examples like that.

EreluRoz:
Nothing impress me about him anymore, I liked him and thought he will be a good president but he broke my heart.

I was reliably informed on how he transformed Lagos and how good he was with governance but I guess a lot changed about him.

Firstly I faulted his appointees and noticed he was just appointing people based on personal relationship and not competence. Not even one Okonjo iweala or Sanusi Lamido in his government. I still wish him to do well, any government that has no good impact on the downtrodden is a bad government.
Put Nigeria in your daily prayers and ask God to fix it.

Shalom

Baba OBJ once said that even Jesus or any holy prophet will struggle to successfully rule 9ja.

And I believe him. Even though he was not a saint himself as the presido.

Ruling 9ja is different from ruling Lagos. He was still agile in 2007 too when he left power in Lagos. Nigeria and Nigerians of 2007 were were far better. Today, people in power in 9ja in politics, civil service, armed forces and other vital positions that are decent cannot fill up one molue.

The corntree/agbado tree don over cast.

9ja needs true regionalism, better still, the Swiss local system. Ask 100 Nigerians, 95 won't know the leader of Swiss National govt. Nobody send their president. Every vital governance is at Canton/ local level. Yet CH punches way above its weight in everything.

I never believed Tinubu could make 9ja better. But I just didn't imagine that he could be worse than Buhari. That one shock me.

As for Buhari, I was prepared for his disaster and I said so here on NL in 2014/15. Even though they called us Tanoids back then.

realmindz:
I don’t know why Lagos is over crowded when a city as big as Ibadan is just beside it.

If some companies can move their offices to Ibadan, so job opportunities will open up to depopulate Lagos.

Don’t be deceived by the brown roof pictures, the few times I spent in Ibadan, I started to appreciate the beauty of the city. It has so many affordable housings in nicely built estates and serene environments. Cost of living is also very low

I have always preferred IB City to Lasgidi.

9ja to dey do herd mentality stuff. Lagos is just too choked up.

There should be more train frequency between Lagos and Ibadan. Every thing is just better: more sane, cheaper living and more in Ibadan.

The size of the red flag the guy saw over 10 months reach to sew ubuluku skirts for all the sango/ogun priests in Yorubaland and Edo. Add all the dibias sef.

Dude, you are generous o. It can't be more than 5%.

Among elderly poor folks, may be more will hand it in.
In some rugged 9ja hoods, 99.9% of people will call this foolishness. They were brought up to believe so, thinking lack of integrity is sharpness.

Funny enough, more poor people will hand in this money than the rich.

Blackskinman007:
He should have move from Napoli when the ovation is still loud but dude still renew his contract, "knowing fully well that he's not interested in playing for the Naples any longer"

I'm still laughing at those who says Antonio conte will still use him,when his 9 shirt has been given to lukaku and he's not even in his second 11...
Seems you guys don't know conte too well...

He might do the unthinkable before the window elapses...

The bolded is correct. Europe bred footballers understand these oyinbo Football system better. Don't rely on agents only. Agents get paid huge money to get players to sign or extend contracts. Na self-interest.

The same way Alonso should have gone to Liverpool as manager after last season's success at Leverkusen. He lost the match to Leipzig on Day 2 of Bundesliga. He never lost a domestic game throughout last season.

Leave when ovation is loudest.

Normal thing back then. We had Asian medics and nurses in our teaching hospitals, teachers in schools, etc. Our Physics, Maths and Further Maths teachers were Asians. Two Asian students rented a relatives flat near the University. We had Asian neighbours.

This will only surprise Gen Z people.

Good. Congrats! Agbani part 2.

Miss World next.

No time for xenophobes.

Has to be James Watson. Am I correct?

Somebody cannot hide someone's name in peace again.

Silly policy. I know young people who could have been going to uni at 14 to 15 and mentally mature in my time. No magic centres then.
Yours truly's dad insisted on waiting for peers, like many parents did back then.

All the old men in govt today, how did their "mental maturity" help them fix economy, insecurity, inflation, poverty?

In 9ja, if some region is not dragging others down, govt is dragging the people down.

At least 5 to 10 % of kids fall in the brackets of gifted people. Should it not be on individual basis?

An American scientist that I have met, entered uni at 15. Although he was later disgraced due to racial nonsense later in life, he played a big role in making one of the biggest discoveries in science ever. He collected all possible awards for it. He is approaching 100 years of age as we speak.

That Yoruba man called Olumide akpata can never be the governor in my state!

I repeat Edo no be Lagos , he should go back to his Amala munching gorilla state and rule there.

Elede man.

Do the Yoruba think they can do what dey do to the iboz to us?

Ozuor!!

Edo no be Lagos. That is how that bleached ugly elede woman wanted to impose iya loja from Lagos here in Edo state ?!!

Ontop her ugly frog eyed cocaine sniffing armpit licking baluba speaking father is the president by rigging?

These people sef have no shame of self respect!! Na iboz I blame for allowing them to scot free with all the wickedness and bullying they bully them.

Lucifer descendants. Come and try what you lot try with iboz here in Edo state and see something!

Waazaga!
Better take your Yoruba candidate Olumide back to the southwest to rule.
Ozuor!!

Yoruba man will never!! I repeat NEVER!! RULE EDO State!!

Dude, Edo was an empire with various tribes. Those who settled in Edo South are Edo/Benin now. Obaseki is Anioma dude. Obaseki is a chieftaincy title Oba Ovonramwen created for his ancestor.

Loads of Benin origin people are in big positions in Yorubaland, especially Ondo State. I know many. But they changed their names to fit in decades ago.

Some people who know little will dispute it here. I have invited them over many years to follow me to Yorubaland. Some Edo people there are monarchs, LGA chairmen, etc.

If his name was just Osaigbovo Akpama, you won't know he has Yoruba roots. Benin tolerance allowed Yoruboid people to keep Yoruboid culture/name without issues.

Edo/Benin believe in Gie unu no z'Edo gha z'Edo, no z'Eka gha z'Eka.

I am a woman and I absolutely agree with you. Women should earn their own money so they avoid being any man's plaything. My husband respects me a lot cause I bring something worthwhile to the table.

Why do you need his allowance when you can earn yours? He will perform his responsibilities in the house, that's basic. And if it's just a relationship, not marriage; giving and taking will be mutual, not one-sided!

Madam, the thing between her leg is her only asset.

That kinda girl will cheat heavily, always selling her wares to the highest bidder.
If 80k is not doing anything in her life, it's probably what she gets from other guys outside that does.

On the flip side, the guy probably inflated his income to form big boy. See the result now.
