Celebrities / Re: Actress Eucharia Insults Nigerians Who Build Palatial Houses In Their Village by ccnation(m): 12:41pm On Jan 21, 2022 |
TheRealOwner: 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". 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Crime / Re: If You Have Accounts With Zenith Bank Please Respond by ccnation(m): 12:51pm On Jul 28, 2021 |
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 2 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Re: #ENDSARS: A Nairalander Predicted About The 2020 Protests Since February 2019. by ccnation(m): 12:10pm On Oct 19, 2020 |
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 2 Likes 1 Share |

Culture / Beaches In Lagos Without Gate Fee by ccnation(m): 10:50am On Feb 29, 2020 |
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. |
Education / Re: What I Would Do To Babcock Female Student, If She Were My Daughter! by ccnation(m): 10:40am On Nov 22, 2019 |
partnerbizn5: 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. 120 Likes 3 Shares |

TV/Movies / A Nollywood Movie On Domestic Violence by ccnation(m): 11:56am On Oct 31, 2019 |
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 |

jmaine: MyphoneandI: 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.

Politics / Re: An Open Letter To My Brethren In The "South-south" by ccnation(m): 5:53pm On Jun 14, 2019 |
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!!! 1 Like |

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.
