How can a people exist just to cause misery?

I neva chop the first and the second. But next time I am in the east, I will seek them out. I would love to buy them fresh and prepare them myself. Food safety is paramount to me. That second one, called Ololo by Mbaise people of SE Nigeria, must be very nutritious and medicinal. Afterall, it feeds only on leaves...

Mariangeles:
You all know I always serve.

Have you ever eaten any/all of these?
What do you call them in your language?

Happy weekend, foodies. Hehehe

Life na all about strategy and risks. Some have sold properties and so on to invest in Nigeria and in the end lost out totally. I knew someone who retired from Nigerian breweries and invested all his gratuity in a business that failed after all. And I know of someone who japa and in less than 6 years became a citizen, and a property and business owner. I also personally know of someone who left Nigerian breweries after slaving as a Senior supervisor, earning less than 10 million naira a year. That same person traveled out , after schooling abroad, now earns about at least $4K a month after tax. If that's not an improvement...I wonder what is. Life na risk!

HacheNoire:
Don’t ever discourage anyone who wants to Japa. They will take you as an enemy. Instead, exploit their desperation and happiness. I have made millions from it.

They always need quick cash and hopeful of x10 of what they sold when they get to their destination. You just encourage and buy it, or use third party to beat the price down. Resell or hold for long term.

Una Neva tire to dey sacrifice una children for some devilish cause. The same scenario that played out in the Palestine... using women and children as shield.

madridguy:
This is the only target they hit. I am surprised the UN are yet to say anything about the masaccre of the little and innocent school children.

No they don't love death. They love life so much that they sorround themselves with as many women as they can get. They send their foot soldiers to die
..They are only deluded and when it really matters they run off and hide in tunnels and bunkers.

P1PrinceKT:
Those guys love death as much as you love life.
Consider them as your opposite!

Walahi, with this kind of mentality most of you will end up in jail for sexual harrassment abroad. No wonder our politicians can thrive in sane climes where women are respected. That a woman slept in your house doesn't give you the license to sexually harass her. That a woman walks about scantily dressed is not a justification for rape...Hear! Hear!!

RichBoy247:
.
Married woman ooooo, just behaving like a typical street hawker

That's what help when professionalism is thrown out of the window...many Nigerians out of hunger are getting into every profession on earth just to feed. In the end, you get people that are not fit and passionate in positions where they have no business been in.

Dogalmighty17:
Incompetence everywhere. Who is the brain-dead person that thought that creating an all female squad would be a good idea? A female officer is under the Hilux and the other female officers are just running around and wailing helplessly. It has to take men to come and raise the Hilux before the body of the dead officer can be pulled out. Just watch the video and see the level of utter embarrassment by the female officers.

Of what use are women really? They are of no help to themselves, a Hilux is given to one to drive in an enclosed environment, she has no environmental awareness and she drives over her colleague and instead of any of the female officers to stay calm, analyse the situation, use a car hack to elevate the vehicle and extract their colleague, they ALL begin to panic and wail endlessly. They displayed no training, no professionalism, no ability to stay in control of thier nerves and maintain control of the situation. They only highlighted why an all female unit is a terrible idea and should be disbanded.

But he is combining the two...what does that tell you?

helinues:
I would rather do juju for protection than to go to church or mosque for protection.

Some things should be logical

My brother 19 years long oO.

Walai:
E better make the guy serve the 19years and keep the 4m dolls for future investments instead of forfeiting for a shorter sentence.
E get why

Force majeure. You can't sue them. I wonder when Nigeria would diversify from relying mostly on gas. What happened to coal? Canada is generating thousands of megawatts of electricity using their coal power plants...what am I even talking about? Do we even have the manpower to man and maintain any heavy installation? What a country! A country of more 200 million souls.

madridguy:
This is really painful. The heat is so much and everything inside freezer don spoil. I wish I can sue this people and get a good compensation for the sufferness they put me for over 3 weeks now.

Politicians don scatter Naija. Everyone now wan cash out by all means. No profession is spared of the scourge. None at all. Nothing is sacred anyone. Even those expected to be worthy in character and learning won't mind deputizing a clanish and illiterate dictator just for what I don't know. Now, I am not saying that the doctor is guilty as charged. Just stating the reality...

Wisdom is profitable to direct. Fighting a war you cannot win on your own is foolishness. Ukraine survived this far because of Europe and the USA. Going to an avoidable war when you clearly doesn't have the capacity to win is not smart. Ukraine is now in ruins with many of her citizens dead. To what end?


Luke.14.31 - Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
Luke.14.32 - Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

DOUBLEBARREL:
I believe zelensky did the right thing... threatening what threatenes you. In this fickle life. U can't afford to bow to oppressionas a leader.. u can be conquered but not without a fight. Many Nigerians are conquered already, hence zero sense of justice by these ones above me.

I know what you are doing with your Amakom stuff . But then, see how 170m naira don become chicken change for this country . Na only God go fit deliver this country!

Negro1986:
This is unbelievable, reminds me of the kind of clips you see in Amakom Tv on YouTube 🎉🤣

God/Jesus doesn't need any scientist's or yours validation. All the witnessing, signs and wonders are to help people like you believe. But in the end, every knee must bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord...by fire and by force

Lasveg:
An imaginary God/Jesus will always need people to be defending its existence.

Peter Obi, Atiku, Amaechi in the mud...😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/vJGOu6z83J

I was trying to point out that Amaechi lacks national appeal.

abbasajao:
You don't have to win your state before you will presidential election.

I agree with you. The other Yoruba man that did worse got a lesser sentence . Maybe he didn't have the opportunity to cut a deal with them in the midst of evidences...

wazobeer:
19 years in prison? Did he kill someone? That's unfair bro... I'm a Yoruba man, despite the fact that the person involved is Igbo, 19 years is too much for a fraud case... Dude definitely had a bad lawyer.

Maybe the man no gree do deal with them or maybe he refused to give up his loot. Or evidence plenty for ground.

saasala:
How come Hushpuppi got a shorter sentence with a more serious case.

You guys don't know what marriage is all about. You think marriage is always about sex and making babies? No wonder marriages are in crisis today.

jaxxy:
a family decision where the man will tell the whole family he is sterile and needs a donor to bang his wife abi?

Instead of you to blame the Ukrainian who planned to fight and keep fighting a war he doesn't have the capacity to win. How long would you continue to fight hoping that help would come from the West?

LordBiden:
This is the war the current mumu in the Whitehouse promised to stop from day one of taking office.

Politicians are the same everywhere, promise heaven and earth to get votes.

If it's difficult why are politicians killing themselves to get there? Leadership is not for everyone. Some of these politicians would have done better as classroom teachers or business men than trying to lead when they lack the capacity.

NSNO:
I'm sure you've not led a department in a church, mosque or school. And I know this because you think leadership is easy.

Ameachi and Atiku won't get any organic nation wide support. Nigerians neva suffer enough to the extent of making sane political choices.

LegendHero:
Atiku will pick Obi again so far Obi remain in ADC after the primaries.

If Obi leaves, then Amaechi will be the one.

Amaechi just dey whyne. As it stand, I no even know him base and the region that is his stronghold when it comes to an actual election

They are trying to force Obi to deputize Atiku. All na game. Ameachi can't even win in Rivers State talkless of the rest of the country.

DeLaRue:
So, Mr Obi cannot even secure the support of ADC leaders in the South South despite visiting Mr Oyegun in Edo and almost becoming attacked.

Edo do am wayo

Definitely, ADC South West will not support him.

Mr David Mark is probably supporting Mr Atiku, meaning Mr Obi is unlikely to get middle belt support.

So, is it in Sokoto or Zamfara that Mr Obi will get votes?

It should have been a family decision. How did the wife even know that the man was sterile?

jaxxy:
The man is sterile so I guess he had no choice. why is he even upset?

"we"? You and who be "we"? If you and your friends are corrupt that's your burden. I am principled and not corrupt.

Magnetic010:
This is why we keep getting the worst of the worst as leaders because we ourselves we are terrible people and hypocrisy will not let us see that.

He is an American citizen. That's the way they roll. If you are an American citizen(or company) and commit fraud abroad, you can be tried in the USA.

Kobicove:
What exactly is the grouse of the Americans in this case, the fact that he received a bribe or the fact that he did not pay tax on the money?

It's called political expediency. So no de overhype any politician. Soon all the data boys employed to boost APC ratings will be sent packing. Na so it be.

Prince16:
And what led him to the gallows if I may ask bikonu?? (Sustained) loyalty or the opposite??

Nor be the starting matter but the end!
Judas ate and performed miracles alongside his Master, but see where betrayal led him

You can't be my friend yesterday and turn my fiery enemy today and still expect me not to look at you with (bombastic) side-eye nau.

Obi may be a lot of things but corrupt and wasteful. He is people oriented. These are the qualities that set him apart from most other Nigerian politicians. And those where the qualities that endeared him to his supporters. That he is not a Harvard trained or a professor is inconsequential at this time in Nigeria's journey. If the "sophisticated tribe" can support and vote for a man without "certificate" twice. A man whom they turned back to accuse of wrecking Nigeria's economy. I don't know what your qualms with Obi is.

helinues:
I berated Igbo's or I boldly pointed out to how Igbo's voted in 2023 based on tribal card.

On this same forum, there are threads which was created during Peter Obi's tenure as Anambra state governor which some people confirmed how horrible is government was but unfortunately, those same people which their comments on that thread is still visible are today telling us Peter Obi is the best curry for Nigeria rice.

You are they one that can't make your point without finding a way to rope Igbos in. Go and read the first post I quoted. You berated Igbos for voting massively for Peter Obi. When the man has all the qualities his supporters believed are what Nigeria needed at this time. It seems that it is difficult for you guys to distinguish between Obi and Igbos.

helinues:
Is it that some of you don't know how to argue? Why are you shifting the narration from Peter Obi to Buhari?

You still didn't answer my questions.

Alright, so the Yorubas didn't vote in Buhari based on tribe but on competency, abi . According to you, the Yorubas deemed Buhari competent enough to vote for him twice. Now, what about the northerners?

helinues:
Is Buhari from South West? That The Yoruba's voted for him twice, can that be regarded as tribal votes?

What's the % of votes Tinubu received in south West with the Emilokan mantra?

Please argue with sense bikonu

Na so! What of one Mallam Wey de prison now?

Prince16:
Like him or love him, he's a man who values loyalty more than anything else.
That was why I chuckled when some ppl said he would throw wike Under the bus simply because fubara decamped to apc.

Jagaban na the perfect definition of 'ride or die' partner!

If Igbos vote on tribe, on what premise was Buhari voted in on ,twice, by the Yorubas and Northerners despite his apparent flaws, to put it mildly? Secondly, what does "emi lokan" means? The mantra that propelled and galvanized Yorubas' votes during 2023 elections.

helinues:
No mincing of words, no massaging of egos, Igbo's voted based on tribe in 2023 election.

Please make it logical, sensible to me in what capacity Peter Obi is better than president Tinubu in terms of governance even before the 2023 election not to talk of the development we are experiencing under this government
