₦airaland Forum

Is it Nairalanders or Nigerians that lack basic common sense. For some piple of international reputation and competence to find it difficult to fix things in a place called Nigeria means something is fundamentally wrong with both the people and the system

otokx: This would not happen but if its possible then akwa ibom would opt to join the united niger delta, ditto cross river too.

Brother where did you get your info. Has there been and friction before and now between Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers and Igbo men. bre it communal, political or what so ever. Despite speaking different langauges, there seems to be great mutual understanding and tolerance. FIND out your self

moderatorr: igbos dont protest.
Its fight or bone. No hit and run, if there'll be a fight, its full scale war. If there'll be peace, its complete tolerance.
Igbos is the only tribe on earth with no kings(google it), everyone gathers to make the decision.
Hope u observed that during #occupyNigeria
an #biafraWar

Thanks my brother, modern analysis calls it republican, where decisions are taken by consensus. YET the western nation has not deemed it fit to recognize this great culture. I wish a writer like Achebe or Chimamada could make the world realize this

Please was Asaba, Onitcha-Ugbo, Aniocha and ALL the communities in present Delta state not the major , I repeat major owners and fighters for Biafra. Who was Nzeogwu and where did he come from....? ASABA of course. Please ask anyone from these areas and they will tell you they are Biafrans.

keep it up cos some need it just to make it a bit harder to compromise them. But eh.....................mmmmm
infact no one is safe.

logica: LOL. No wonder.

This is inside story. I guess this is not my great prof speaking himself

Was the North indeed the provider of the nations wealth b4. Please confirm

The main reasons I still prefer developed world to Naija
-Better life due to
Transport infrastructure
Security and healthcare..... I can sleep with my dorrs open
Internet
Roads
Things are working right
Water supply and quality
Clean environment free from pollution and noise
quality assurance of food you buy
easy to travel to other places
THESE Make up possible better life and higher life expectancy for me.... Life is just Once

berem: did u actually read what u typed before posting? Ok I guess its the other way round! Pdp has failed and will continue to be a failure.come 2015 Pdp will surely kiss nigerian democracy goodbye.there will be no space for them to rule nigeria!

My brother there are other states not governed by PDP. What makes the difference. The systme including the people have failed.

I love my Son, my daughter, my mama, my teacher, my pastor.
BUT I am inlove with Ngozi,Lizzy, Larry.

They mean different things.
Context matters

In as much as I care less about GEJ, but I am impressed his presidency has recognized that the first Lady is unconstitutional. the height of it's abuse was with Turai.
YET why not give the devil his due, my fellow naija ppl. Why not commend the guy for not allowing the office of first Lady be as it used to be used to waste public fund

Poor Africa, only beautiful from top if not for Durban, Joburg and cape. I am lucky to have been to Joburg, Durban, Kigali, Lusaka, Nairobi, Addis,Lilongwe and I am Naija man. I have seen the reality of these pictures not panorama. Infrastructure on ground are same in most places except the 3 mentioned above, and yet the three lack average mass transit, tho better than others.

Nigerians want to hear ONLY two things, namely: Spirits and Occult. Even some university dons still believe computers, technology etc are product of occultism.
Siblings to Apes

I really cannot differentiate between the two. Please what are the translation of the words : COME,FOOD, WATER, FATHER, HOUSE in both languages. I am asking because I know of:ZO, Abincin,Uba, gidan respectively but now I am lost I don't know which language it is. Hausa or Fulani

hahahaha. The OP is guilty of the same language offense. When you said the "WEST". I am sure from geographical location, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau etc are more western than all European countries. Can any one prove me wrong.
But the fact is that present age Press tends not to use some stereotypical or racist words and as such White people=West,Arab Middle east,then Asian pacific, then Black poeple= Sub Saharan Africa.

Poor you. Tune to several western channels including discovery and see greater things that seem unimaginable. yet the presenters takes us thru analysis of what and how.

life_style: Don't tell me it is Photoshop

and yet Nigerian soldiers are dieing ?

purefella: JUJU REAL NO TAKE JUJU PLAY OO.,I KNOW OF A OPC GUY THAT ARMED ROBBERS SHOT FOR LIKE 6 TIMES AND THE GUY DIDN'T HAVE A SINGLE HEADACHE , EVERYTHING WE ARE USING ARE CREATED BY JUJU , AEROPLANES REMEMBER THE BLACKBUS , MOBILE PHONES THEIRS JUJU BEHIND IT , THE PILLS YOU TAKE NAH ALSO JUJU BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE AFRICANS ARE VERY GOOD AT USING IT FOR EVIL .

In the industry in Europe, just note there is little or no difference. See job adds : Acadeemic requirements- MSc computer Science/Engineering, Physics or any related.

I met a Lady and her boy friend yesterday in My city on an appointment. The lady told me she was Kurdish Iraqi but the boy friend was Arabic. Then When they realized I was Nigeria, they said ," it seems there are problems in your country". I said yeah.
Then i tried to explain that there was bombing, then to my greatest surprise the lady said and i quote " AM SORRY I AM MUSLIM BUT I MUST CONFESS THAT IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH ISLAM BECAUSE WHEREVER THERE ARE BOMBING OF SUCH SORT, IT MUST BE MUSLIM. THEY CAN'T STOP BECAUSE OF WHAT WE ARE THOUGHT ABOUT FIGHTING FOR GOD OR DIEING FOR GOD"

Great Igbo culture, the video IHioma masquerade is unique among the orlu zone, Anambra south and up to Umunoha near Owerri. I wish my poeple would have the infrastructure to invest in these culture to attract tourism.
Poverty has really dealt with us

Kobojunkie: This issue has absolutely NOTHING to do with the existence, or none, of subsidy. Folks need to learn the art of NOT MIXING issues, especially UNRELATED issues such as these.

is is rice importation probe we are talking about. Please think well. Some said there was no subsidy, eventually a probe revealed more than enough. unfortunately, the probe man is corrupt.

Could this have come into play if the govt did not attempt to remove subsidy ?

Is is that Nigeria hates Igbos or Igbos hate Nigeria.
How on earth could the views of Peter Obi and/or others be stereotyped as "the Igbooooooos"

Is Lawan Farouk undoing " the Housaaaaaas"

Please people should get a life. Stop this stinking hateful stereotype. I met a man on the street yesterday somewhere in Europe, blindly out of stereotype, he told me he had not seen an Igbo man going to school since he had been to Europe. Well I said you have not seen does not mean there are non/.

Please avoid stereotypes

Why not occupy NAS, when it is evident to do so. but when it seems insusbstantial to do , the you here occupy

NOOOO,
there is and there was no subsidy in Nigeria.... #Ccupy Naija , #cuppy Nigeria
Some Nigerians think from their stomach.
Farouk took money just for fun, afterall no Subsidy, GEJ, Sanusi and NOI were decieving Nigerians... abi [size=24pt][/size]

bukatyne: morning lepasharon, there is nothing wrong wit celebratin children's day etc etc. Jesus Christ is God the Son, The trinity is real (God the Father, God The Son And God The Holy Spirit) and it is NOT ur pastor's business if u decide to eat pork or snake or toad! halloween is a witchcraft thing so i don't expect churches to celebrate. abeg, read ur Bible! P.S. wat church do u attend?

My dear brothers, first may I say that I detest dabbling into religious issues becoz it is personal thing.
But Mr lepasharon, be careful with what you say. Study the bible, travel round the world, then pray, I quess more wisdom would come to your head. Few things you raised are correct.
My dear bukatyne, as a christian and an educated man, I believe the best person that can tell about someone is him/herself.
To that effect, whom did Jesus say HE was,is and will ever remain in accordance with bible records. Read all the gospels and you will in no doubt see whom Jesus said he is. This calls for wisdom among christians.

Musiwa,,:
You, olisa means God... chineke or Chukwu is God in Igbo


So explain to me how they look the same.

I told you people that most people from delta north, their root is benin and not igbo. it is close proximity to the river that is why some of them speak igbo. Look Nupe people speak Yoruba.. Most people from the middle belt speak hausa. Does that make the middle belt people hausa or nupe people Yoruba.

Gowon speak hausa, but he is not hausa. atiku speak hausa but he is not hausa.

The problem is most people dont know their root. I started reading up from the internet books on africa root.

If you say so, Tunde Bakare is from Ilorin which is North Central is not Yoruba. All in Kwara are not Yoruba including Tunde Idiagbon... does this make meaning ?
if not then go and get your head to rest and think properly
People like you call Late Nzeogwu and Igbo man (Which truely he was without shame) because he lead a coup, but you forget he was from Asaba. Thank God you could acknowlege Asaba man in Delta state is Igbo.

shymmex: When did Olisa become Igbo?? Get a life!!

The guy doesn't even care about tribe - but he's not Igbo.. He's urhobo!

Please are you just trying to raise issues out of nothing.
Just learn today that OLISA is a name for most Igbos in Anambra and Delta states.

What does the guy mean by development ?
I think he has only been to England or has never been to any EU nations or US
If development means infrastructure and technology availability for livelyhood , then England is close to Africa

When it comes to infrastructure in Europe, Please I rate as follows because I am here and go round always :
1 Germany, 2. Sweden 3. Switzerland 4. Finland then others.
I tot it was only me that feel the old systems in the UK seems appalling, but most of my friends do when they go there
Thank God i don't live there
