She has a very valid point actually.

I know a man who was hellbent on building a mansion in his village. His children were all adults and no, it was not meant to be a family house. Note that majority of the people in the village are farmers and it's not a even a major village or something.

All his businesses, friends, hangouts, church etc are in the city.

We will ask him, Who's going to be staying there? Is it your children that are looking for how to Japa or your wife that works in the city or you? He will always respond that he knows what he is doing and we'll all see how it makes sense soon

Fast forward a few years later, all the children have moved to different parts of the world, he's retired, extended family members who contributed NOTHING to the building are the ones living there now & anytime he goes there, it's always those that need one help or the other that come visiting him

I used to share the same opinion as hers until some years ago when I had this discussion with an elderly Igbo man, that was when my view changed.

This man witnessed the Nigeria/Biafra civil war. In his story, before the civil war broke out his father and their entire family lived in Kaduna (the north). Their father was doing well in business and had built a comfortable home in Kaduna where they lived, but none in the village yet. After the break out of the war, they all had to hurriedly leave Kaduna at night in a 9/11 truck carrying just their clothes. When they got to the village they started living in their grand father's old house like refugees.

A once rich and comfortable family became almost homeless in their hometown. What we call "Back to square one". Even after the war, they couldn't go back to lay claim to their father's house in Kaduna because the house has been confiscated by the indigenes of that place.

This his story was also the fate of so many Igbos who lived in different parts of Nigeria pre-civil war. At that time, Igbo people settled and built houses wherever they lived. But they lost all their properties when the war broke out. Most of them never recovered their properties after the war. This is why today you see an Igbo man living in a face me I face you house somewhere in Oshodi, but owns a mansion in the village.

They learnt from experience the true meaning of "no place like home".

opera1:
Poor sound quality and low battery.

Can you please recommend a decent one within 10k range?

opera1:
When buying BT speakers, Watt and battery capacity is very important.

I looked at a few within same size range and they all seem to carry 5watt and 1200mah battery

Reeberry:
Hope it isn't those aboki speakers you got?

I got mine 7k in June. It sounds nice though, with waterproof.

Modified: I just checked the Bluetooth speaker, you mentioned. That's a toy, not a speaker. It only goes for 2k. I have seen it before and heard the sound quality, it sounds like a baby toy. You should have have even gone for those Aboki 3k speaker, instead of that toy.

Bought it at 4500. I feel like throwing it away already. I will just look for someone to gift it. I'm sending someone to computer village tomorrow to help me get another one.

Reeberry:
Which one did you get?

After using it for a day, I realize the battery only lasts for about 6hrs hours. The speaker started sounding like it wants to tear when I turned on full bass on my music player.
Product name: S810

I'm just going to save up and buy a better one. All these low budget speakers isn't for me

Reeberry:
Try Googling Havit or Oraimo Bluetooth Speakers. You can also chopeck Zealot ones too.

Thanks, I already got an affordable one. Sound not bad but yet to confirm battery strength

Reeberry:
Na lie. He didn't even ask for nothing much. With what he said, he can get a speaker of what he's asking for at #5000

Good day, can you please recommend a good one not more than 10k?

I was just complaining about this same Zenith Bank deductions this morning before I found this thread. Even without making any transaction for over a week, they still looked for a way to deduct money from my account. If you try to zero your account by moving all funds away, I bet you, the next time any money enters your account, they must first deduct all the money they would have deducted if you didn't move your money.

They usually tag it as STAMP DUTY CHARGE. Now tell me what an idle account is paying stamp duty for? ...I really don't get what the stamp duty is for in the first place, after all they normally collect transaction charge whenever you make a transaction.

Finally, we have all started paying the Chinese loan small small individually

This one na Yahoo+++

Their father na loader while the children na picker (The Okpalas). Aza wey their father load since 1994, na now dem won pick am

Swalomirr the real niggar of nairaland be feeling like Akara school pupil after seeing this

Please I want to know if there is cryptocurrency wallet that can receive unlimited amount of btc after I.D verification in Nigeria? ...Let's say 100btc or more at a go

I know blockchain has a limit of $25,000 per week on gold level verification.

Na all the Nigerian artists don thief this guy's songs yet e never still finish. E remain Omah Lay to go thief him own.

This guy must be Bob Marley or Michael Jackson

I sure say na Cameroon weed he dey smoke.

Normally I don't take things like this seriously. But I remember the thread the day the presidential election was postponed for a week, where the guy brought out a previous post where he had predicted the election would be postponed as he saw in a vision.

When he talked about a young man cleaning the country, I thought he was referring to one of the presidential aspirants (Sowore), but most of us knew Sowore would go nowhere winning the election so I just dismissed his prediction. Now I understand that the young man in the vision refers to "young people" and not just one man.

Truth is, most of us knew a revolution would happen someday. But we never saw it coming like this. Let's watch and see how things unfolds in the coming weeks

Thank you all for the useful information.

Please does anyone know the days computer village, Ikeja will be opening? The Lagos State government said they were going to schedule market days but I'm not sure which days are for which market.

I want to buy a phone.

Chechekojnr:
knew one particular beach ,
Guess it called SUNTAN beach along badagry/seme

No, I don't think SUNTAN BEACH is free. I've been there in 2013 and the gate fee was N500. Maybe by now it should be up to N1,000

Good morning nairalanders. I need someone to recommend for me beaches in Lagos where one can visit without having to pay a gate fee. I was asked by a priest to go pray by the beach, but I don't think that is something I can do in any of the fancy beaches.

I just want where I can walk in, do my thing and go peacefully without harassment.

partnerbizn5:
I will call her on phone to come back home from wherever she is, hug and kiss her, reassure her of my love for her; prepare her favourite meal, and make the bed for her to sleep. We will look for the way forward afterwards ranging from sending her abroad to counselling.


You know why?


She needs me now more than ever. The whole world is against her. The hypocrites.

I will be with her now!



Another option is to disown her, let her go into depression and may be suicide.


I choose the former, first option.



Wisdom is profitable to direct!

While I think you made a good point, I also think you failed to see things from the angle of the parent. Who do you think will be most traumatized by this public shaming? ...the girl or her parents? Most people will condemn the parents that their daughter was poorly raised, and these include colleagues at work, neighbours, extended family members, church members etc. No one would even try to think that the girl might have been a rebel to her parents' guidance.

What you wrote up there may be the appropriate thing to do, but it's easier said than done.

Damage

Thanks a million. That's the movie

Please I'm searching for one Nollywood movie shot around 2016, which was centered on domestic violence in the home. In the story, the husband and wife was always fighting until they mistakingly killed their only daughter during one of their fights. The main female character was Uche Jumbo. In my opinion, this is one of the most sensitive Nollywood movie I've seen.

I have these in-laws who are always fighting, and recently it has degenerated to the point of using dangerous weapons on each other. The fights are becoming bloody. I need to show them this movie if it will instill some level of decorum into their head before they kill themselves or somebody else around them.. Anyone who remembers the movie should please drop the title. Thanks

Just like the story of little Success in Sapele, Delta State early this year. What was meant to be a mockery just to earn social media likes became a life changing blessing.

FROM MOCKERY TO GLORY! ...this should be the caption.

As long as one cannot watch live TV on the GOtv app unlike the DStv now app, then the GOtv app is useless.

If I call you, answer present. I nor go call name sha, I go just call according to category. You know where you fall into;

hustla:
LOL
NOTHING LIKE JAZZ ABEG

Oya bye bye, YOU DON WIN!
I hope say na lawyer you be Sha? ...Make you nor go waste your talent for nothing

jmaine:
Doing juju is specific and not just a blanket protection.. People do protection for what is likely going to be used often against them. You can do juju against gun, daggers, matchete or axe while your formidable foes ready for you will stone or plank you to death..

The ancient Africans didn't have an answer to the Canon fire power of the invading white men and that was the game changer.

As useful as regular scientifically tested bullet proof vest are against gun attacks, they are rendered useless when they come in contact with Armour piercing bullets traveling at great speed.

MyphoneandI:
The reason guys run from bullets or cutlass or stuff is not because the juju is failing.
It's because the pain of impact is the same. Wether it penetrates or not.
There's juju o, real one. I've seen it live. I've seen bullets bounce off men, but even when it bounces, the pain is still the same

Even though I've been finding these arguments about the potency of black magic (jazz) very annoying, I just had to add this; I think these two posts have brought it to a logical conclusion. Anyone who continues to argue about jazz not being potent should be ignored henceforth. I have my personal experience on jazz, but I would rather not talk about it because it won't change anything. There are some people who can argue over anything, even when they know they are wrong they will never submit.

Some people dey think say na them go school pass. For your information, nor be every knowledge dey inside book. Knowledge is infinite

The OP is right about the history of south-south and south-east being one. Most ethnic groups in south-south are just other igboid dialects e.g the Ikere people of rivers, the Anioma people of Delta etc. The Yoruba language also has various dialects across different states but they refer to themselves as Yorubas not south-west because they recognize that a Yoruba man in Kwara state, Kogi state or Edo State which are not part of the south-west is still a Yoruba man non the less. Until all igboid ethnicities agree as one people, self determination can not be actualized.

Again all the south-south are not igboid so don't get confused, all south-south can not join with the Igbos. Edo and Delta States were never part of the then Eastern region, rather they had their own region known as Mid-western region which was carved out of the then Western region in 1963. Some ethnic groups like the Itsekiris, Urhobo, Isoko are more Bini(Benin) than Igbo in culture, and their history traces down to the old Bini kingdom.

Another point of note is that most of the ethnic groups in the south-south including some igboid ethnicities traces their origin to the old Bini kingdom. With this, where are we to align with as an Igbo speaking south-south whose history is from Bini (Benin)? ...Are we to go with the Igbos (south-east) or with our Bini origin who share similar cultures with the Yorubas than the Igbos?

... Confusion!!!

https://truth147./2015/02/15/neo-black-movement-of-africa-murderous-lunacy/

The images are too graphic, but again it portrays the dangers of cultism as graphical as it is in real life. What a painful way to die. Smh

The OP's story is verifiable. All names of places and people mentioned within DELSU Abraka is correct. I graduated from same institution many years ago and I witnessed some of these things. What makes the OP's story more interesting is that it's coming from one of the main actors. What you see from outside is different from how it looks inside. Don't wait to get inside before you discover how ugly cultism is. Pre-university days I almost got involved in the foolish act of cultism. Then I had this friend whose elder brothers were all axemen. We were both always at every axemen party that some of them even started thinking we were one of them. The thing felt good until we both entered into one deep sh1t, that was when I started seeing the dark side of it and retreated. By the time I was in the University I already knew a whole lot about cultism that it wasn't attractive to me at all. In my 300level I became close to one of my coursemate who was a frat man. At one point he started preaching to me to join his frat, I just laughed and told him, "Guy if frat dey hungry me you for nor know me as ju".

That was how one Maphite guy tried to bully me way back in 2008 because I was wooing a girl whom he said was his girlfriend. The night he came to disarm me I didn't resist, I allowed him take everything. By the next day words had gone to him that I was looking for him with JTF. Na so the guy jejely find me come house 2 days later around 10pm for night with one lawyer, come beg me plus return my phone intact. About a year later he was gunned down by his best friend who is an axeman over trivial issue. Na there him story end, while the killer is still walking freely.

(Note: All cultists fear security agents. Once you threaten them with Army or JTF they will stay off your case)

One sad thing about cultism is that if you get killed from cult related activities no justice for you, your killer will go scot-free

SAY NO TO CULTISM ...it kills dreams. So many promising young men have gone to dust like chicken without owner

I'm as much as we all know that Evans is a notorious kidnapper, we also know that the MPF is notorious for carrying out extra-judicial killings. It happens in most state CID headquarters down south. If you know you know.

Okowa is a failed governor. Things like this is where the former governor Uduaghan scored good points. Under Udaughan sports excelled in Delta state, but with Okowa the reverse is the case. Okowa has spoilt everything the previous administrations built. Mtcheeeewww!

LuciferChristi:
You didn't get enough words of wisdom from your family members & neighbours sitting all around you there, its on Nairaland you want to get it abi?

Someone mourning his Dad will have time & space to pick up his phone & create a Nairaland thread... A first son/born for that matter.

Naso.

I've busted your scam so you're pained. Try another method.

Thief.

Stop it PLEASE! This guy might be in genuine grief while you are here compounding issues for him. There's no ideal way to grief, if he thinks he's going to find some comfort from nairalanders please let him be. You may not know the pain of losing a close family until it hits you. I pray you don't lose your parent/benefactor at a young age
