You are igbo.

My concern is this igbo possessive mentality in business.. Innoson should take his company to the public. This .. I will produce this, I will.produce that, if he happens to exit now, who will produce them? He need to invite people for expansion and.other ideas

At the bold, all I can say is God forbid! When you are playing in shark infested waters, you will always apply extreme caution.

Even Innoson is smart enough to contemplate going public. Once he does such, it becomes very easy for his company to be snatched from him.

He is the owner and chairman, but he isn't the one producing them directly rather his technical team.

kingsceemark:


Yes we love it that way, meanwhile the Bombs and chemical of mass destruction are manufactured in Afghanistan, while the northerners import it to destroyed their region.

You should apply tact! Northerners are not against the development, it is the usual envious ones here in the South that hate anything good happening to Igbos. The North is trying to normalize relationship with Igbos.

If not that Buhari messed up in his first tenure by antagonizing Igbos, things won't have been so bad. Anyways, he is trying to make amends before leaving office. Sentiments aside, he appears to have done more for Igbos than even Jonathan we gave massive support yet nothing to show for it.

This small boy has come again, saying trash up and down. I just dey pity you because dey go just carry you and you will disappear without trace.

Imo State alone is more populous than the entire ijaws in Nigeria and that's a fact you can't wish away.

Imagine a tiny minority group always making noise. Even in the SS, Ibibio and Anioma are more populous than you ijaws.

Chai, there is God o. So after carting away their inheritance in bullion vans, Tinubu still has the effrontery to call them lazy

Lol, I don't blame Tinubu for being so insensitive and arrogant, I only blame the Lagos youths maybe they're lazy after all

Igboid:


And why should that happen?
Omenkalives is from Igede and he doesn't stay off Igbo issues on this forum.
Why should we stay off his?

Some claim he isn't from Igede, but has any Igede person here come out to disassociate themselves from Omenkalives incessant anti Igbo behavior on this forum?
There is no rule that says that Ndiigbo must always be on defense and not on attack, is there?

When you stoop so low to attack someone that should be mates with your child, you will only end up insulting yourself! It doesn't show class!

I was embarrassed when I saw some Igbos joining issues with these people, and it is so degrading!

Believe me, we Igbos are probably the only group that is standing against the hegemonic domination of Nigeria by certain people using Islam as their rallying call. If we play our cards well, all these small tribes ought to be ones seeking to attach to us since they already know they're too small to resist the forces coming against them.

So we should remain focused and diplomatic. A dog that goes after every bone thrown at it will never get to its destination.

As for the Igede, we have no issues with them and neither do we have any with the Idoma. The argument is between them and we should be spectators in this. They are free to be whatever they chose to be. It is non of our business!

I did my application and capturing yesterday, collected my passport today @ 45k . Sauka Office Abuja HQ. Booklets are available, Nigeria has always been who you know.

That's why we keep saying that this country is under a curse! Why should something as basic as applying for international passport be such a complex problem? To collect ordinary passport is now rocket science!!!

They make life a living hell for everyone out of sheer wickedness!

The government and its employees will rather horde the passports and watch people suffer than releasing it without hassle because they hope to profit from their sufferings!

The same irresponsibility and wickedness is applicable in every damn sector!

These bastards will rather embezzle billions of naira meant for the dirt poor and stash it in pits or foreign accounts yet will be happy seeing same poor people starving and suffering malnutrition! But they forget we all will die someday!

Many poorer countries have been able to develop because they have love for humanity. They use the little they have and ensure that roads are well paved, schools built to standard, amenities provided and made accessible but here these wicked souls will rather pocket the money and watch people suffering and dying needlessly due to road accidents or collapsed buildings because they used substandard materials to cut corners!


Every one of these bastards believe in primitive accumulation of illgotten wealth at the expense of the majority!

I spit on everyone making life miserable for others because they want to profit from their miseries!

I curse anyone who frustrates others, because they want to steal from what is meant for others.

You will die in road accident because of that road you refused to fix out of sick greed! You will die under the rubble of the collapse building you used substandard materials to build!

May God's wrat visit you all for your wickedness!
May karma pay you back in your own coins!
May the universe bring sorrows to you from every corner, north, south, east and west!

it would be crazy, I spend 200 daily on transport now imagine what would happen next year.

People are not crying now, we will all cry together come next year.... They think it would only affect transportation, food and every other thing would be affected.


I think they did the same thing to gas and that was why it suddenly jumped from 350 to 700 per kg

Well, you're actually living very close to your workplace. Some people are already spending over 1000 naira daily on transportation.

Two days ago, I took my 12.5 kg cylinder to refill but ended up refilling 10kg at 7500 and also fueled my car at 2500 at the same fuel station making a total of 10,000 naira spent at the spot just like that!

Yet some people think they can still double the prices when income hasn't increased?

Now watch his people attack him for telling them the truth

King44:
I see no importance in this subsidy removal, it means more suffering for us

Besides, hope you know that buhari has his own poor people list so this trillion reduction is also a scam. It would have no impact on common man.

The people down here with us that are drumming support for this subsidy removal would see crazy next year and start complaining cos transportation fares would be a death sentence...

Lagos and Abuja would be worse hit, many workers there would end up spending all their salaries/income on transportation

DuBLINGreenb:
Thieves

That's all I'll type, I don't think I have to spell it out for anyone.

This is a case where a wrong is committed per incuriam, no need to prove anything. The court witnessed everything itself.

These thieves should Just step forward take a plea and wait for sentencing.

Edit:

Ok let me spell it out small: These people are not supposed to take money from Federation account, remember that account was made so that if anyone or any agency tampers with it the whole world (every other agency from everywhere basically everyone in government) will receive alert. Unlike before where every agency had their own separate accounts. Now They will have to say why they dipped their hands into the account and show what they spent the money On.

So as a result these politicians have been scheming "How do we collect money from the account" we need something reasonable that will be believed without a tangible measurement or concrete result you can see and touch and evaluate.

Example: We can't take money for bridge and not actually build the bridge everyone will see that there is no bridge or the bridge is not up to standard claimed.

But we can take the money and claim we sent it to 50million non existent Nigerians noone will be able to verify each of the 50m people we claimed to have sent the money to.

It's basically a way to legitimise the looting that wants to occur now in this last minutes of Bubu regime, elections are around the corner they need funds to rig and bribe and advertise and silence critics, these people are about to leave office and reality is sinking in that 8 years is not forever so thief now or regret it later that's what they are thinking. So this is the plan.

They will claim they gave 50m Nigerians 20k each meanwhile if God touch their heart they may actually give 100,000 Nigerians 20k each and those people will be their relatives, family members or close associates. And one or two random people whose jobs knowingly or unknowingly will be to serve as example that people actually received payments and sing praises that they actually got alert.

Remember the 1,000 abi 100 jobs to youths of all the local governments in Nigeria? That format is what they want to run again. That one was just a test run and it worked. Now they want to scale it up.

Thumbs up!
You really have the spirit of descernment to think deeply. Unfortunately, many Nigerians are too gullible to question criminal tendencies of this government. However, these guys in government are playing with fire. Most Nigerians are already at their wits end, frustrated and hopeless. Even well employed people that are supposedly earning good salary are finding it difficult to get by, then imagine the fate of the masses that are either unemployed or underemployed.

How many people can afford to fill their gas, fuel their car, fuel their generator, buy food stuffs, pay rent, pay school fees etc.? Yet the government still believes it can more than double the fuel price again without dire consequences?

The Endsars nationwide protests will be a child's play compared to the sort of anarchy that will envelope this country next year if they go ahead with this plan. This time around, even Northerners will join hands because they're even more at the receiving end with near absolute poverty rates!

There was a prediction years ago from some foreign agency that a mass revolution will begin in Nigeria that will make headlines accross the globe. Maybe the subsidy removal is what is going to trigger it.

GeorgeDominic:




Don’t invest all your funds on landed property . Majority of such investments Appreciates in 10-20yrs.
If you buy it now and want to resell in 2yrs time to reinvest, you’re more likely to run a loss.

Buy land with the money you can spare for 5-15yrs

My opinion.

Haha, I swear you know very little about lands. I'm an estate agent for years and I can tell you that buying lands in Nigeria now is one of the easiest ways to make good money!

Smart people are no longer keeping money in banks, at least not in naira. Again, treasury bills that used to be one of the best portfolio investments with awesome interest rates has gone to the dogs. So, buying lands is the only option left for those with liquid cash to hedge their funds against inflation!

I don't know about Northern Nigeria or parts of SW, but you will definitely smile to the banks if you buy lands anywhere in the East, most parts of SS and Lagos! The only thing you have to be very careful about is fraud. With the dire economic situation in Nigeria now, desperate folks are now in the habit of selling and reselling lands to different buyers, especially in places like Lagos, P.H etc.

So, how do you avoid stories that touch? Make sure you're buying with a local agent and lawyer that understand the community very well. These people will definitely know the persons to ask questions about the legitimacy of such lands.

You can't buy a land in these places I mentioned without it appreciating within just 6 months! I have bought personal lands I later sold in just 1 year and it appreciated by 100%!

Remember that more demand leads to increase in prices and the demand for lands now due to inflationary pressure is high. The few money bags with liquid cash are buying up lands because they don't want their money to lose value in banks.

Bewiseedet:
Dear igbo women,
This protest against the Nigerian army is too risky oo.. Lets avoid stories that touch the heart.

So in essence they're terrorists that can unleash mayhem on innocent protesters? Is that what you're trying to say?!

This is serious, but I'm not surprised they're being seen as nuisance by the women of Ohafia.

When you recruit "repented" Boko Haram members into your army and use them to terrorize the same people they ought to protect, this would be the outcome.

SlyDev:
Inferiority complex smh

Inferiority complex on the Chinese or who exactly? You certainly don't have sense at all.

The Chinese people are celebrating Igbo culture and traditions in THEIR OWN COUNTRY! Yet this envious afonja is bitter.

You're actually the one suffering from gross inferiority complex here

Very dum.b and insecure baboon!

Hemisphere:
I Think you are missing some fact Paye pay as you earn with will always be one of the highest contributor when you have more Government workers in your state. That why FCT & Kaduna is High .. if a state has significantly less number of Government staff the the PAYE from which accounts for nearly 50 percentage IGR .. Lagos has both High Private & Govt PAYE numbers for obvious reasons

In terms of government workers and private employees, Abia State is still far ahead of Yobe! Abia State has far more number of schools than Yobe which will translate to more teachers employed by state government.

Now, coming to private sector, there is absolutely no comparison whatsoever. Let's consider this, bank deposits in Abia State was 243.932 billion naira while that of Yobe State during same period is 23.3 billion naira!

So, in the light of all these, how do you explain that same Yobe will now generate 9 billion as VAT while Abia generates 2 billion?

post=107898029:


Take your time and read this

This data here is the real indicator of economic growth!

Beyond the fancy flyovers, VAT and IGR, bank deposits actually shows the liquidity of the states and economic vibrancy.

Between 2010 and 2015, all SE states, particularly Anambra, Enugu, Imo and Abia experienced a boom in deposits (which can be termed disposable income kept in banks). Other major states like Kano, Kaduna etc only experienced marginal increases. I bet you, the current deposits for 2020 among states will even be more startling.

Please can you provide the latest one?

szczescie:
Shh! Don't tell them I told you oh

Her other daughter Chinelo was also made a magistrate just some months prior That one is married to a house of representatives member in Rivers state

This one was just made a judge and is married to the son of a judge in court of appeal

Them go use them settle their mama for the inconvenience of that house raid and also for retirement.

Their papa and mama set compass for them left, right and center, staking their claims to government even in the next generation. This Naija Ehn.

Pension as ex governor of Rivers State no be one small moi moi state
Pension as ex Justice of supreme court of Nigeria
And their in law's too are loaded + this now

Edit: All of you celebrating are fuuls, how is this good news if it was based on merit it's a different thing.
But before your very eyes people are building an enclave, an island of wealth and locking you and your generations yet unborn out of the wealth of Nigeria and you dey celebrate.
All this positions they hand to their kids could have lifted someone else who is more worthy out of poverty.

Imagine one family had a magistrate
Another totally different family had the judge
Another different family had the house of reps member
And another different family had the supreme court justice
And this Odili family only had a governor

That's over 4 families and atleast 20 mouths assuming each of the nuclear family has only 5 members, that's atleast 20 people lifted out of hunger and poverty for life.

But now only one family is hoarding everything and we mumu people of Nigeria who think we are smart are clapping for them, admiring them as they deny us opportunities, because she is a woman like me or she is from my state or tribe or my religion.

So the theif can steal from Me as long as he is from my tribe,
The rap!s+ can have his way with my sister as long as he is the same religion as me

NIGERIANS ARE docile E-DIOTS the worst type, I mean the type with Stockholm syndrome.

Ask yourself does this girl even need to work a day in her life to live a normal big girl life? She doesn't her parents have money running out of their nose, ears and mouths look at all they own and yet they are adding more

And fuuls are applauding because they are from the same Geographical expression on a map as them

And let me tell you guys they don't consider themselves Igbo, I am from Rivers state, they are from rivers state. Go and tell them they are Igbo and hear what they'll tell you. It's shocking seeing Igbos celebrate them, most of us in rivers state are not very happy at things like this, this is not an achievement to anyone else but the family.

Also You people have not learnt from your experience with Wike.

Stop being stooges, and yes-men to your oppressors please.

Wetin concern me, I don dey wash my hand commot for Una matter small small.

You cannot free a bird that doesn't even know it's caged. Even if last last you free am e no go fly. Until e realise himself one day you all will realise yourselves. I hope it's not too late by then.

You messed up what would have been a nice piece with that lies I bolded. It shows you're dishonest to utter such lies with such boldness.

FYI, Peter Odili is from Ndoni (this Igbo clan has boundaries with Ogbaru in Anambra state). His wife, Mary Odili is from a royal family in Mbaise, Imo State. All the children has conc. Igbo names and most of their friends are Igbos from SE! Google about Ndoni and see how they celebrate their Igbo identity or you think Odili is from Ikwerre?

Common sense should have told you that such closenit Igbo family will definitely identify with their roots, that's natural. Have you also checked their children and where they all married from?

Honest people in nairaland are obviously not up to 10%.

Tufiakwa!!

Ethiopia and Nigeria are among Africa's most populous nations, complete with mass poverty, diverse religions and ethnicities. Believe it or not, Nigeria is also going to face cataclysmic upheavals that would be worse than whatever Ethiopia or any African country has experienced. It has started in the North, is gradually creeping into the East and would eventually envelope the rest of the country.

The finances of the country is already in tatters, poverty is spiking, insecurity and hopelessness has pervaded everywhere now yet the government is worsening it all with insensitive policies that are impoverishing the people more. Maybe, there is nothing else they can do but believe me, if we continue at this pace and they eventually remove the so-called subsidy by next year, there is going to be uncontrollable anarchy.

I have not really been enthusiastic about traveling to stay abroad, but I'm now desperate to leave this country ASAP. Then I will rent a place for my immediate family in Ghana.

Just like Ethiopia, Nigeria is gone too. From middle of 2022 and 2023 is going to be catastrophic for Nigeria, and general elections may not even hold. What makes it the more scary is that Western powers will equally evacuate their citizens and watch us annihilate ourselves

Wow, nostalgic pictures!
These pictures reinforces the believe that Nigeria has continued to retrogress. And based on the Law of Uniformitarianism i.e. the past is key to the future, it becomes apparent that things will only continue to retrogress or at best remain stagnated.

Is that the future we all want? Sometimes I wish that Nigeria will get its acts together and truly become great for the sake of Black man and Africa, but from the look of things, such will never happen, instead we are now a disgrace.

Shame!!

Mad country

When we told Tinubu urchins here that their god will not smell that seat, they thought we were joking.

Something we saw since two years ago is what they're now coming to terms with

APC has already given their ticket to Orji Kalu, all those closed door meetings was just negotiations going on.

Awo was used and dumped!
MKO was used and dumped!
Tinubu has been used and about to be dumped too!!

When will these people get sense

[s]We’re Ready For Reprisal Action When Next Northerner Come Under Attack In S/East – CNG

A coalition of Northern Group (CNG) on Monday declared that the North would no longer remain idle when next its people are deliberately targeted and massacred in the south-east, or anywhere in Nigeria.

Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, CNG spokesperson who made this known to journalists at a press conference held in Kano State said that the power to release IPOB separatist leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kano only wrested, and vested in the judiciary.

Suleiman said, “the north will no longer remain idle when its people are deliberately targeted and massacred while the perpetrators are shielded by criminal tribal bigots who pose as leaders.”


Abdul-Azeez Suleiman who was flanked by top chieftains of CNG at the conference further demanded the arrest and prosecution of Igbo leaders angling to secure Nnamdi Kanu’s release from the gulag to be treated as an accomplice.

He said “we demand the arrest and prosecution of those Igbo leaders, and any other group, or individual who are involved in this complicity to get Chief Kanu freed.

The Northern Group at the tension soaked conference tasked President Muhammadu Buhari to reclaim his statesmanship by refusing to be cajoled into interfering with the standard principle of separation of power.

Mr Suleiman warned President Buhari that the North has realized that he places a premium on the pursuit for a vote than he does for the sanctity of the lives of Northerners, and security personnel who stake their lives in the service to the nation.

The fire-spitting Northern group warned that “any attempt by President to accede to the demand to release, without prosecuting Kanu will inadvertently reduce Nigeria to a lawless state where criminals of all shades will commit crimes against the country and ask their traditional rulers and other regional or tribal leaders to press for their release “

The Coalition of Northern Group stated that ” from 2017 to 2020, at the peak of IPOB’s dangerous campaign, Kanu had instigated the killing of more than 1230 Northern Nigeria citizens living in parts of the south-east. “

Suleiman revealed that “several millions worth of businesses, properties and valuable assets belonging to Northerners and citizens of other regions were destroyed across the Southeastern cities on the instructions of Nnamdi Kanu within the same period “.

Bastards!!!
When fulani herdsmen kill Southerners, on their own land, do you guys face reprisals here?

You think we are still in the 1990's when you kill Southerners in the North and nothing happens, try it again and see Nigeria broken up the next day!

Rugaria:
You guys actually believe that Nigeria is incapable of providing security to a stretch of road? Think about it. Isn't this a typical case of the more you look the less you see? Just one road everyday! Yet we have hundreds of thousands of people in uniform! Naaaa. Something is going on..

I think you have a point, it appears they're tactically allowing them in gradually. Their bases are now in Niger state and they're parts of FCT is now within their catchment areas. Kaduna/Abuja highways and railways too are now facing daily attacks!

Give it more months and they will move into Abuja fully. Are you seeing the pattern here yet their is no urgency from the side of government Maybe they're waiting for foreign embassies to start airlifting their personnel

I will rather live in Afghanistan or Yemen than Northern Nigeria right now, and I'm not joking.
Even if you like, pay me 2 million naira per month to live in the North, I will reject the offer without thinking twice!!

Even a war torn country is more secured now than the North because in such a country, you will only be afraid of the war fronts but in the North, every damn space is a war front

You all in Northern Nigeria must be living a life full of horrible nightmares

And to think that the situation is likely to get worse than better makes it the more agonizing and hopeless.

Meanwhile, what are you calling "Bumber"? Or you mean bumper?

Lol, everything now sounds like bomb to you guys

BafanaBafana:
Igbos always feel cheated when they are not allowed to dominate or cheat others.

This kind of mentality led to the coup in 1966 when they were envious of Ahmadu Bello not allowing them to dominate the north and Balewa being the most powerful in the country

I don't know why you guys like decieving yourselves.

When you talk like this, it means your education is a total waste of resources. What has dominating others or cheating got to do with this ridiculous propaganda your government is pushing?

Of course, Igbos will always dominate you if there is a level playing field and that's why your government had to bring in quota system and federal character which has proven to be a scam too just like everything else in Nigeria. When it comes to educational enrollment, you're given zero benchmark while Igbos are given 70% cut off benchmark but when it comes to appointment to man strategic sectors, the dull ones that had zero admission benchmark will be recruited while the bright ones are shunned due to tribalism!

Even in 1966 you're talking about, the bigot called Ahmadu Bello came on national television to announce to the world that Igbos (a supposed compatriots) will not be allowed to take up positions in the Northern region, and that even if the Northerners are not educated or competent enough to man such positions, that he will employ foreigners! Imagine the horrible things the fool said. Is that not the height of hate and bigotry? Sane Nigerian soldiers including many tribes decided that only a coup could save Nigeria from the destructive tendencies of Ahmadu Bello and his likes. The coup plotters even hoped to hand over to Awolowo!

Go read your history and cure your ignorance!!

What on earth will he be looking for in Uzbekistan of all places?

I haven't been there but I can give you a clue of how you can measure their economic viability:

It' was part of the former Soviet Union but is far low on the pecking order of countries that emerged from it. Ukraine, Russia etc are far better!

It's a landlocked country in the middle of nowhere!

It's an extremely cold country!

Common, there are lots of other countries he can venture into with same resources. That's the same mistake some Nigerians who travel to India only to end up selling drugs or getting involved in other crimes.
