Why are we not building cities? Even most part of Lagos and Abuja still look like crap!!

Pessimistic statesman.

Not pessimistic, but realistic statesman.

How much is the contract to Tompolo per month?

Does that mean pipelines are still not vandalized?

Running a refinery is a lot of headache and sabotaging considering the country we are in the lack of rule of law.

Operating cost no be here.. folks hiring there village people and bypassing qualified personnel because they are not indigene..

Receiving bills from this Chief and chief because the refinery is in thier land.. even after paying the community certain percentage yearly.

Just too many headaches.

Kwankwaso miscalculated his political muscle.

He could have partnered with Obi and they would have cleaned house in the last presidential election in a landslide. (Even with rigging.. recall, ApC couldn't rig their way out of Lagos )

That's one thing in politics, one wrong move could be the beginning of the end.

Don’t mind those one.

I remember few years ago where they delude themselves that Yoruba are more in UK and Igbo are more in USA.

If not for us that refuted that lies, they would have still continue to parrot that false statement. Now any Ibo guy is always careful to say Igbo are more in USA especially my friend Ofoigbo .

Igbos are more in USA.

Adding Yoruba language to the test in Maryland doesn't validate that Yoruba have bigger population.

The difference is the way the language is spoken.. I am igbo but understand a but of Yoruba.

In igbo, not many people know all the words, say like ten naira etc or to tell time..

Over the years.. igbo have been Englishized grin

Also Yoruba parents are more quick to teach there kids yoruba but Igbos not so much.

There are many igbos in Nigeria that there kids don't speak igbo but that could be true with yoruba also but the percentage of that is higher in Igbo parents /household.

Same outside Nigeria. In London for example.. it is not rare to see an England born kid switch between yoruba and English seamlessly but it is for igbo.. you don't always see that..

That's why I say be proud of yourself, your heritage and people will respect that. I remember growing up.. I was always told I sound igbotic. grin grin but my yoruba friends were never told they sound Yorubatic.. grin

So many igbos do switch to English when communicating and thus the language is slowly dying ...

Why are you fueling chaos with misleading headline??

How did all of those comments identify themselves as obideints??

Please stop that nonsense..

There are many Tinubu supporters that want to know the truth as well.. whether Tinubu attended CSU as he said or not those Tinubu's supporters would still stand behind him but they just want to know the truth since there support for his candidacy was not because he attended Chicago State University..

So stop the division and the misleading headlines that's ungodly!!

For some reasons I don't know, many of our house owners are no longer looking at the option of Terrazzo these days.

Frankly my brother.. the thing tire me oo..

It's like every one is on the "follow do" tile crazy, including me as much as I hate to admit it.

Well, in my defense I did search for reputable company that could do it.. no one, the couple that I found I didn't like the picture of their previous jobs.. I just said make I kukuma just do tiles to avoid story that touches.

The flat where I grow up was built in the early 70s had this terrazzo flooring, still looks nice to this day. Very low maintenance flooring.

Omoluabi16:
wait. For example, we know that Igbo bride price could be high running into millions. Are you saying if she is Igbo she should return every dime, when she is probably not in a good place financially?
@ badgers14

Igbo bride price is not that high.. what could be high there is other things requested in the list like 20 tubers of yam.. 10 carton of this and that ..

But the actual bride price is usually not that high. And typically what the girls family normally do is, if the bride price was say 20k, the father of the bride will take 2k and give the rest back to the inlaws and tell them , his daughter is not for sale.. let them take care of his daughter etc...

(At least thats what my father did and I have been at other places in igbo land where the same was done as well).

In Igbo culture, the widow and her family do not return any bride price upon the death of the husband as the marriage ended with the death of the husband, not divorce.

That's incorrect.

Respectfully speaking, may be in your hometown that's how it is done.

But I have seen a scenario in igbo land were after the mourning period they ask the widow if she wants to stay with the husband family or move on and go back to her parents house.

Then if she chose to move on and move back to her parents house. Bride price is returned (at a later date).

Generally, one cannot pay a bride price twice on top of one lady. The old bride price have to be returned before they can pay the new bride price.

Cheers!

Hmmm... This is weird, I think you should discuss with her, she should open up, perhaps she's hiding something.

@Op, listen to this post here.

I will also add, her family should return her bride price if she wants to move on with her life.

Although I don't know if I agree with this next line buy returning the bride price, the late husband's family could collect everything that their brother bought for her.. if she is living in the late brothers house, they could kick her out , some might even go to the extent of collecting the kids from her (if they have a kid together).

But yet still, the first thing first. Have a candid conversation with her and you both can figure a way forward.

Cheers!!
