Who no go dose off when he de hear "I want to ashua you, pight kwaraptian, pederal ganment"

Stop this.

This is your President.

I read once that the term Sub-Saharan has racial
Connotations with its primary use by Europeans to classify 'Black africans' from the rest of the lighter skinned Northerners.

Since then I smile whenever the word is used.

Crowwejihadist:
The person above me is exactly saying the truth.

They want to finish southern Nigeria before 2023 so that they can keep the presidency.

Really?

Why do 'they' have to 'destroy' to win.

They already 'won' in 2015 & 2019 without having to destroy the south. What makes 2023 different?

Emergingnation:
Akwa Ibom have all it take to be a country...

Power station aka IBOM power station

World classed stadium


The ongoing sea port

International air port...

We are looking forward for the Emerging IBOM Republic..

Hahaha!


Does it have an army too?

I don't know why I struggle to see any truly special region in Nigeria. At their core, most Nigerian states are similar.

pocohantas:
I hate debt recovery, so I will rather play safe from the onset than find myself in that position. Some basic rules of lending that works for me.

LoL.

You are a grade 1 risk-averse type Financier.
Not that there's anything wrong in that though.

Also Shhhh! How dare you tell Nigerians that large weddings/Burials & Child dedications are 'optional'
Occasions.

Hahaha.

Timi45:
What is wrong with all these abokis and their love for underage girls? Is it a crime to marry an adult?





North is another planet on it own

Actually ALL regions of Nigeria practice(d) 'underage' marriages.

What happened overtime is that the region(s) most influenced by Western culture had gradually phased out the widespread practice.

The 'North' is the last bastion of relic cultural practices in Nigeria. Hardly touched by westernization and so the elite capitalize on this.

Really sad about your travails.

God help you.

But how do you 'promise' God that you will not abort any pregnancy of the lady you're involved with (being unmarried).

That's like a Kindnapper promising God that he'll not kill any of his kidnap victims.
Don't kidnap!

God help us.

Joysticks:
Ordinary sit-at-home on Mondays na him you say south east dey boil?Why government dey declare public holidays for 3 days to mark or celebrate an event?It seems the northern politicians are more concern about a day sit at home in the east than the daily killings, kidnapping and destruction of properties in their domain.

LoL.

What even has the government declared 3 days to mark this year?

God help us.

Think of it this way:

They'll do what they'd have done if their was no
Social media.

Humans adapt.
Why not ask the thousands of Oil industry workers in Nigeria what they'd have done if God did not bestow us with such minerals. Of course you won't.
Why? Because you subconsciously think these social media guys have it easy. They seem to be enjoying stress-freely.

Well, why not try it? Open an Instagram page today and test for yourself.

I just hope this OP is joking and my comments too can be taken jocularly.
otherwise, be informed that (I'm not myself a social media person) these guys put in the work — and sacrifice (N.B. I'm not referring to the Yahoo guys/people of easy virtues) required in their crafts. Perhaps even more than many of us traditional 9-5ers.

maxtop:
And OP will know how jobless he is if he think other will follow suit just because he is jealous of their achievements ....

Nice Point.

Maybe not jealousy but slight ignorance.
It's funny that it didn't occur to the OP that these 'jobless' people created a niche out of social media on their own. A feat that not easily achievable.

Why does the OP think that they all are in incapable of being creative outside of Instagram/Facebook?
These guys are filling a need! They'll not be what they are if they don't fill a need. Whether or not they can weather a No-instagram world is theirs to show not for the Op to decide.

Cheers.

Cut down on provision......
Check their school oooo,if the fee is too much,go for a cheaper one.it is same scheme, everywhere.



Modified:stop unnecessary recharge of digital TV,use free to air.At all times, women should try to stop any unnecessary nagging of their husbands,road dey red!!! Keep your kids away from children whose parents gives unnecessary/expensive snacks, always explain to them that the economy is not soft at all, you will be surprised that they will understand.

Nice.

Although even if Education is the same scheme everywhere, the execution is NOT.

I've come to realize that quality education(not necessarily expensive by the way) at the foundation levels is a huge advantage. Depending on a child's natural aptitude, if the foundation is weak, they'll suffer the effects possibly forever. Even 'expensive' schools are getting a lot wrong at the foundation.

My solution?

While you opt for the 'cheap' school, take more interest in the child learning progress from creche to 10 yrs to complement the 'cheap' school work.

Online resources are now available.
E.g.
Curriculum pathways.
Studypug.
Saylor academy.

Etc.
*Studypug is a paid service but it's worth it.
Invest in a PC for their learning and get a MIFI service strictly for learning.

Be involved to assess their progress.
If you're able to get them (children) self motivated and confident at learning at 10 yrs, you already have a head start.

Cheers.
God help us.

Kondomatic:
President gets everything from the UK. This ex governor and possibly incoming president has a permanent base in London and you all are celebrating independence.

LoL.
Truer words have not been said.

Charmingrascal:
They don't value education, terrorism is more accepted to them.

Reason why their Governors don't invest in scholastic education.

Some do though.

It's arguable that Zamfara state has instituted more primary /secondary education infrastructure since his administration's inception as any southern state governor.

bot101:
Lol, the first instinct of man is survival. The first job of any government is ensuring it. Even the most uncivilised person knows this. I and my kin should die because ESN is not recognised by the government?? Note: I never mentioned UGM.

Hahaha!

So ESN is not UGM right?

Hahahah. Since you've conveniently supported an illegal 'good' outfit. Fine. To each his own.

Thanks for the discourse though.

bot101:
I sure do know what you mean, but let me ask, between Ebubeagu and ESN, who has done a better job of routing herders and criminals from the forests?

That not the point. As civilized people is the UGM state backed ? That's the question. To me the UGM /IPOB are a faceless group. Nobody who claims to act in public interest should be faceless. How do we assure accountability if they are faceless?

Mathew4257:
Mumu the guy is right . Am sure u don't no the Governor of ur State .

If you are concerned about dealing in facts and not pedestrian name calling, could you tell me between what years did Malafia serve as the CBN governor of the Federal republic of Nigeria?

If not I can't take lessons from one who didn't get the basic detail that Malafia was the Deputy governor of CBN and has limited authority as a security expert. I thank him for his concern /drive nonetheless.

Cheers.

bot101:
What is a state that isn't backed by it's people? A failed state. The validityof any state rests in the support of it'speople. UGM have it better, they are people-backed.

LoL.

I'm sure you know what I mean. Unless you want to act like you do not.

God help us.

cassidy1996:
She's always looking for attention

'Seeking attention' goes with the Territory of being an entertainer. That's how their industry thrives.
I didn't know that before but some of them are actually 'shy' but ultimately do what they have to do. Relevance in that industry is driven by buzz / clout, Negatively or positively. Almost like you do not exist if you're not heard from.


I myself can't be in it.

SLAP44:
No, late CBN governor malafia have told us fulanis will start killing of high rank citizens in southern Nigeria. And they will start war by 2022 before he was killed on 11 September 2021.. yet nobody was asking him question...
fulanis are now on operation devide and rule tactics... they know BIAFRA is coming as soon as possible, they will kill innocent igbos and find a way to tag IPOB in it.... that's the tactics they have been using to rule the yorubas and igbos.. they are even now using igbos names to comment rubbish against IPOB..

Malafia was not a CBN governor. Besides his words shouldn't be taken wholly. No man's words should be taken wholly without reasoning.

His death was sad though, but do you have evidence that he was killed? Let's balance outrage with reason.

Kamanuozuzu:
The same way Hisbah handed over our Beer to Kano State government.

I don't even support Sharia law but the hisbah is STATE backed. That's the difference. Are the UGM guys state-backed?

guru90:
This is 100% truth.... No single 9JA FLAG in banks when I entered east in afternoon time today...


Omo, biafra is the way forward in 9ja now!!!!!

But were there Nigerian nairas ?

I am sure the people opposed to flying the flag are still open to spending the Naira.

God help us.

decatalyst:
Two Captains in the Nigeria ship.



Never thought a day like this will exist in this country.

The future even look bleak and gloomy.

Really?

Perharps they should have also stopped them from distributing the Naira too.

God help us.

Nairalandian:
Omo eh, una dey burst my head with all this shit you guys do here.
Why involve tribe in everything.
Isn't that a dumb thing to do?
Or people from your tribe have never committed a crime before

LoL.

Not all who make such remarks are tribalistic.

Some are being sacarstic. Sarcastic in a way that draws our collective attention to other forms of generalizations made by many Nigerians when they observe that a certain group is highly predisposed to a certain crime /vice.

E.g.1, Many people here never bat an eyelid to snide Islam when terrorist acts looms in the north. Perharps, because we all feel it is common to that group.
E.g. 2, Tribalism is rife in Nigeria yet many Nigerians are quick to point to racial discrimination elsewhere in other countries.

I don't agree with them, but they help show us our collective weaknesses as a people when we are not at the receiving end.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
How Northerners now love Igbos is a Miracle.

They do not necessarily have to "love" Igbos.
A northerner was killed earlier in the year in Imo too.

Sapaz02:
Then quite social media & anything that relates to infor tech ok.

Really?

Social media was itself created, in part (as least as admitted by some creators), to limit people's reluctance for physical contact/communication AKA
the Introverted.

It's a haven for them (Introverts)

emmybliz:
What kind of business gives you 2000 percent return on investment in 4 years?

That's not how business returns are calculated.
You have to calculate his CAGR.

Otherwise he didn't provide enough details to see how he progressed through the 4 years.

nairaman66:
Just word of mouth and no deep analysis !!

How much do you make in a month? Tax payments? Workers salaries? Any loan or pending loan payments? Liabilities?

He obviously left those out.
They may exist.

The problem in Nigerian business space is that both trust 'capital' and legal negotiations are low to non-existent.

I suppose there are many working /business class Nigerians with good idle savings that could serve as investment capital for others but would be (rightly) reluctant to do this because trust is LOW even among supposed friends.

Low trust/confidence robs the Nigerian economy of $bns yearly in ways many never think of.
This fellow here is obviously reluctant to provide details for the same reasons — scepticism & low trust.

Kobojunkie:
Because of the actions of one individual, albeit female, you are quick to damn all women?

He literally wrote the words "some women"
How did he generalize all women?

Funny how you are hesitant about a trait (Hot temper) in someone else which you clearly accept that you have.

thesmallgod:
This is a wrong advice. You can still marry late and still regret your life.

But you would have less time alive to suffer your regrets.

The intensity of a regret is worsened by the time available to one to face it.
