So Edo get refinery wey dey function?

Abi I dey sleep ni?

it is old news. Obaseki has complained endlessly. Since over 2 years now. Such does not make FP on Nairaland.

It would make PDP/Obaseki look good.

If a state has an opposition governor in 9ja, that's what happens.

Lioness5280:
And the Nigerian one Miss Hypocrisy or even better Miss Tribalism

Whatever suits you.

Balistic4:
The real reason why these wicked leaders can't better Nigeria. To them, it pays them not when naija universities has more prestige than foreign universities, after all, how would they buga when their children graduate from foreign universities?

Why would you be comfortable with your fellow human worshipping you??

Dude, it can be embarrassing to the young person. But people have been neglected for too long that anyone, of any age, who shows them love, is like a god. To them, the person is God-sent.

When you understand their daily plight, you can get why.
Of course, majority of the elite are VERY wicked. They do not believe in 9ja. They know what Pa Awo said in 1947 is true: that Nigeria is a mere geographical expression. That is why nothing has ever worked. No true national identity to have a common purpose and goal.

Everything we hope for 9ja is wishful thinking. And they all know it.

Good. Welcome home.

They should rename SA one Miss Xenophobia Pageantry.

Efuaye:
As oppressive as Abacha junta was, he couldn’t stop people from protesting!
I remember our days in Pen Cinema Agege, Lagos, facing military men dressed to shoot at protesters, yet we protested!
There will be a spontaneous protest that will shake this country up unless something urgent is done to fix the failing economy.

An analyst also warned that FG and governors should worry less about planned protests.

That the real gbenge will be spontaneous ones when FG and others have not assembled police and army for and they have not flown their families abroad. In panic, gragra police and army will massacre people to try regain control and full katakata go burst.

The sit tight woman in Bangladesh would have dismissed my last paragraph just last year. Like urchins will dismiss it now. They will say protests achieve nothing and swear at others with a contrary opinion.

But see Arab Spring, Kenya and Bangladesh.

Sapasenator:
About three years ago. It was a bitter winter and I was dining at a restaurant around 11 pm in the night. It was very cold and if I remember correctly, it was -35 degrees Celsius below freezing point and if you pee outside, it freezes before hitting the ground. cold.

The restaurant was filled with everyone white except myself. I looked behind me and it was crowded with delivery drivers working for the delivery app, Skip the Dishes, waiting to pick up food orders. Nine delivery drivers and all black guys mostly Nigerian looking.


Learn to live your life without trying to please or impress anyone and occasionally, take time off to have fun and enjoy yourself, take vacations.

Dude, our people have been keeping up with the Joneses mentality. They also gossip about clothes, gele, fila, shoes, jewellery and bags others wear. So they worry about such things. In fact, a very strange set of values.

If you advise them, they will say you are jealous, you don't have taste or swag. In the West, nobody cares what you wear. Just be clean and decent.

Doing 4 jobs to live fake life can't be good for anyone's health.

But it's their life to live.

Stayingalive:
Watch this case die as nothing would be done about it just like the others and even worse this one na Cross dresser
Little by little Nigerians are becoming insensitive and maybe this long time of suffering and use to violence has made us more tolerance to even murders in our society.

Already our people have become numb. Unless it affects who they know/friend/family.
A vibrant and successful relative was killed down in broad daylight weeks ago. Out of all the acquaintances I told, only few ever asked how the family is coping. Several have even called to ask for money since. Nothing asked about the bereavement.

Covid19 taught me that the difference between humans and animals is VERY little. When fire is on the mountain, you are OYO. People only form nice to people they know or benefit from.

DUNDEEmoderatos:
Whoever told you that Gani led protest that resulted in to people"s death.
I don't even know what tribalism has got to do with this.
I am sure you are just like every other person here making noise that protest should not stop while you are not even part of the protest. And if the protest continues is anything still going to change?

I actually couldn't care less. Tinubu did not debate or promise anybody anything. He only waved broom and people like corrupt Betta Edu jumping up and down during campaign rallies. I agree with Igbos on this. You can't blame someone who promised nothing.

You must a GenZ person. Do you know how many people army killed and jailed in protests those days that Gani was involved in?
It's the fault of protest leaders that people were killed, not unprofessional police shooting unarmed civilians?

If you cannot see the ethnic colouration in protests against GEJ and now, too bad. BUT now the protest is about hunger. Worse now.

numericalguy:
Same thing was done in the January 1966 bloody ethnic cleansing coup.

Go on twitter and see how many SE have been inciting the entire country to a protest for several weeks now.

You mean the protesters need Igbo to let them know they are hungry?

When did Northerners began taking orders from from Igbo?

NCNC/NPC screwed up, imprisoned Awo, deposed kings who supported opposition, pitted SLA against Awo and all manner of atrocities. Nigerian looting leaders have not learnt from that 1966 coup. Have you forgotten Wetie in Western Region?

Nigeria has never had good leaders since 1960. The so-called founding fathers were tribalists who could not even work together. Forget nostalgia, 9ja was set up to fail. In all, I blame Zik for fighting to remove secession from the constitution.

The current looters are even worse.

numericalguy:
They gaslighted the north

Nobody gaslighted nobody.

There are for more poor people/almajiri hit by Tinubu's arrogantly bad policies in the North.

An average Igbo can survive on one decent meal a day and you won't hear pim. They are resourceful and resilient.
So, they are not protesting.

They know that if the join, SW and North will use them to settle.

Many of these so-called human rights lawyers/activists and intelligentsia are a bunch of jokers. They can't lace Gani, SAM's boot.

Most na tribal goons.

Where is Soyinka who descended so low to call Patience Jonathan unprintable names and went to protest?

Falana is only gesticulating on TV channels.

Tribalism will finally ruin Nigeria.

Bunch of hypocrites.

When protesters stop, what will change that FG has put in place? Is fuel cheaper? Will bandits stop killing obas in SW? Boko and UGM nko?

Have politicians reduced their excesses and corruption? Hunger nko?

RIP Ma.

But for the living, never stress for 9ja. Tribalism won't them have sense.

Most have signed a covenant with poverty and suffering. They let idiots rig and usurp power.

Not worth it.

Silly shildrenses.

These salsa babes body too hot.

One of her type always went para whenever a pretty sexy Middle Eastern/Scandinavian mixed race girl came too close to me at uni.

We had nothing between us o. But once the sexy girl left, she will be calling her opio and what not.

Very passionate lot.

Several Yoruba monarchs have been murdered Olufon ( a few years back) and at least two others recently. I didn't hear Kabiyesi's call a meeting.

Are they happy with the chaos the complacency of people in power allowed?

Na everybody go collect. If we allow status quo due to tribal or political affiliations, it will consume everyone.

It's actually assault. Even if that hairstyle is against school rules, it's not the way to enforce it.
He should have reported it to school authorities.

I guess most tribes have their rule on inheritance.

Find out. Are you the senior son?

Did you bury your dad according to custom required of children for the father in your clan/tribe?

Is there a will left by your father?

Whatever the case, some family members going behind to sell inherited property is very bad. It shows lack of respect and transparency.

Many comments here against OP show the low moral ebb 9ja is at. Many of them would easily do same.

Find out what your rights are. Every family member has rights and obligations. If you have met your obligations, you deserve your rights too.

HOWEVER, if those who have sold it flatly refuse to behave like proper family members, move on. Don't look back. Just know that despite blood, they are not actually family.

Only VERY FEW blood relatives are truly family these days. Some so called family can be deadly.

Lots of single mothers were too nice and naive and were used and dumped.
Some thought they were too smart and didn't heed warning about bad guys. Used and dumped.
Some escaped violence or widowed.

Many nice single mums won't be as nice once you have married them.

Some will still be nice.

BUT your biggest headache is the Kids. From my experience over decades, 90% will never be satisfied with your effort.
They will feel their father if around would have done better. VERY ungrateful. After using your youthful energy to raise them before even raising your biological children.

I won't advise anyone to do it.

Anyway, you are a virgin hunter for marriage.

The West nor be Father Christmas to Africans. They came for profit. Know this and know peace.

tishbite42:
Resign (divorce) from the marriage and go your way na
Love no be by force

Violence began months into marriage and she stayed to have 5 kids.
Who do women this thing?

Yet she go don reject gentle men because dem nor load or get pink lips. Na Agbero masquerading as a lawyer she go follow.

Women, look before you leap.

She will still go back. Na who chook mouth go become enemy.

Sha, if she be my sister, the beating that guy will collect, he go spend months in hospital. Nonsense and ingredient.

Shebi Aregbe and Oyetola of APC were governors there for around 12 years?

Na we Africans sell ourself cheap. They can't try this to Saudi.

DevilsEqual:
That rank at just 24

Wow, Congrats to her

That age is quite normal for that rank. To rise to Lt Col through Captain and Major can be hard. Especially for those who didn't start as commissioned officers at first. But since she went through NDA/Sandhurst, her rise will be regular and normal.

Those ogas should just let her use her talents o.

Amebo123:
The husband was expecting her to go for delivery only for her to have miscarriage. Please just for my knowledge is it possible to miscarry a 9 months pregnancy? and did the miscarriage happened on the way to the hospital?

There was most likely no preggy if allegedly it was so far into it that hubby expected her to be delivering.

Miscarrying at 8 or 9 months nor be beans. Why not do C-section at that point if it managed to stay that long to avoid late pregnancy issues?
Especially if there was genuine history of miscarriage.

Sheistoopretty:
That is what Nigerian men are good at. To steal, do ritual and cultism. No Brain for technologies and innovations. I h@te Nigerian men to be very honest

They are just Use_less. all of them

And they will do it to fund useless oloshos that litter the whole place.

tgmservice:
Hello nairaland Fam need you input on this.

I am a married man going to 3 years now.
I was scrolling on Facebook when a Saw a video of man exercising in a Gym.

This man wore a short nicker and you could see the shape of his joystick dangling. His thing was really big
The issue is that when I scrolled down the comment section I saw a comment from my wife since we are friends on FB and this is exactly what she said in verbatim (guess she is not so smart I would see her comments)

" I love to eat this kind of Food" yea including the smiley face

From her profile pic you can clearly see she is a married woman even other people responded to her comment calling her all sort of names like Olosho and the rest, one even said I pity your Husband.

I saw this when I was in the Office and it clearly spoilt my day I could not concentrate at work anymore.
When I got home I challenged her regarding this comment and she said its nothing that its just a joke comment.

I have been angry as she seriously disrespected me and I am considering a divorce from the marriage.
Edited: File photo used for illustration

Maybe not enough to divorce but enough to check her out more closely.

What she is chatting about with men would be interesting. What if the guy in the picture was her work colleague or somebody she has easy access to?

In the meantime, if you have any kids, do paternity test on your kids. EVERY man should. Nor dull yourself. You should even even have checked her out before confronting her. She may have deleted things by now. Or become more coded in her doings.

Your wife can be banging your best friend or the person you least expect. Trust no gaddem person.

confusedlady:
How can someone lie blatantly before a royal father that you have royal blood when you are a commoner.
I am happy that the Oba of Benin disgraced him and exposed his perfidy in public.......

What people forget is that Benin palace has very important etiquette. There are things that even children, siblings, cousins and nephews/nieces of the Oba cannot say once in the presence of the Oba. Same applies to even the most high ranking chiefs.

Even if your father was a high chief, but you are not of proven royal blood, you are not a child of the palace. Oba being "our royal father" is not same as child of the palace.
Provincial enigies/dukes, most of whom are of royal blood and bear the title of HRH, also have rules to abide by in words and behaviour once in the palace.

Olumide should have got himself educated about palace etiquette.

Oba cannot be seen to claim partiality during election.

Additionally, Edo people largely support rotating governorship to Edo Central. Oba is aware of that.

MrBrownJay1:
but then again, if the above is what you believe, then why marry ONE wife then...? why not just keep various side chics, and never marry a woman (since you believe they all cheat)?

Hehehe. If you like nor do paternity test on your kids, na you know. Especially those firstborns. She preggy then you quickly to marry. Lol.

Reason to marry na for convenience. At least one lady to dey under your roof. Left to me the thing should be a contract. 5 to 10 years contract.

If know wetin we dey see.

SmartyPants:
The groom's cousins not the bride's.

That guy na coded perv.

The guy is becoming too arrogant for his own good.

Last time, he was mocking one lady's foreign accent during a press briefing.

Whereas, his own grandchildren will most likely all have foreign accents.
