So if he gave scholarships to some people, he may ask them to unlearn all they learnt in the school.

Davido's grandma was Igbo, [b]his mother was Igbo [/b]and he married an Igbo lady. It's a family history.

His mum was Edo.

Hmmmm
If dem born dem, make dem include 9ja for visa on arrival programme.

Blue3k:
Exactly, the policy is so incoherent. You sanction and suspend them, then attempt to stop their exit. Are they concerned others will leave?

ECOWAS know how useless they have become. They were forming before. A boko and militant ravaged corner of the earth dey form.

Those juntas better stay on their own and solve their own problems. ECOWAS, IMF, World Bank and the West have nothing to offer.

This is a new low for ECOWAS.
A bunch of juntas from poorly resourced minor countries hold ECOWAS for blokos.

ECOWAS dey beg like "can't someone joke with you again?"
Juntas be like "joke kee you dia".

So imagine how these misfit African leaders tremble before Western masters, always with begging bowls.

He is avoiding a toxic presenter and Tv sation

Let him even go to TVC. At least Tinubu's boys will pamper him. With 2 weeks to rehearse the answers in advance.

I know he won't go near Channels.

Banters apart, there is serious poverty in the SW but not compared to NE & NW

Just tell me, how much was it that was sprayed on this innocent woman on her birthday Not even wedding or Trad! I mean how much ??

Was it upto 5m which is still a change based on inflationary pressure on the Naira?? I can bet with my balls that this woman got less than 2million

Rest in peace ma!

To many, 250k is a lot of money.

Don't be surprised if 75% of Nigerians don't have up to 1m in savings or cash. The top 5% may have 500m Naira or above.

Many pf these wretched and battered poor people have the morale of a hyena.

They grew up finding food anyhow they can, feeling oppressed by and hating on anyone better off than them.

Anyone that is well-to-do is synonymous with the establishment and is a legitimate target. Even those who began poor and worked their way up.

Your generosity towards them makes no difference if they want to hurt you.

RIP.

Hehehehe.

Since you are ready to train children of mechanic, her boss at work and old boyfriend under your roof, no wahala.

Everybody carry hin cross, Nor cry come Nairaland under a new moniker and fresh account disturb us o.

Goodluck!

1. All that so-called prejudice has nothing to do with this or this conversation, so let's keep it off abeg!

2. Like I said, I never heard of it until now. All I had been reading or hearing from social media chats between citizens is that there were no working refineries.

Question is : Why would most of the media conspicuously omit it but eager to report bad news? I have seen it over 10 times, many were by Obaseki. Even though I would never vote for him.

It's like saying corruption has nothing to do with say a topic like "rot" in education, health care or infrastructure. Can you imagine Sanwo-Olu having done such in Lagos and media won't carry it?

Whether we want to hear some things or not does not mean they don't exist. Truth is bitter.

wirinet:
Higher than importing the crude?
What makes cost of producing Nigerian crude higher than other countries?

Dem dey add gold join 9ja crude.
Dem nor dey ever run out of excuse for mediocrity.

Kobojunkieee:
1. I still don't know what you mean by prejudice in this case as it never really mattered where the refinery but whether the refinery is working of not..

2. I already explained why I don't take the word of politicians. I would listen to anyone else but them. And I didn't hear anyone else, not even the workers in the company.

There is a lot of prejudice about Edo. That nothing is good there. Any news about cultism, Kabaka or witchcraft would not have gone unseen by so many.

The news about completed modular refinery and failure to get crude supply has been out there. Many times , for over two years.

The same time Shuaibu story was everywhere, refinery without crude news were also there.

I saw them but many say they didn't. You get to find what you seek.

Kobojunkieee:
1. Obaseki and all the others you mentioned are political touts whose only credit in life is defrauding Nigerians in politics — they are lacking in the intelligence department, — so even me I no dey pay them much attention.

2. The news isn't the problem since most of us get our news, not from direct media but rather from social media. So, saying even the workers for the place have not reached Nigerians with this particular news is shocking. I think a lot of Nigerians saw the social media video of the guy who took photos of Dangote's refinery back in December claiming no work dey at that point in time. We have been told for so long that none of the refineries were working, and then to read that one has been working since 2022 but lacked feedstock just dey unbelievable!

I am telling you Obaseki has said it verbally on video.

All political office holders from head to bottom loot recklessly.
But this news is not new. It has been all over. I am shocked to see people say they haven't heard. To me, people probably selectively hear what they want to hear.

I believe prejudice is a major issue. Edo is the last place people expect to have modular refineries.

I will not support Obaseki in a million years but he has done quite some good things but APC people all over the place will always rubbish it. Everything is too political in this country.

Is it new for the system to sabotage any genuine effort to make 9ja work? Why should this surprise anyone?

If the company has reached out to NNPC, Obaseki complaining loudly, who are the staff?

What if the corrupt/bought media refuses to carry the news? Lots of social media still rely on traditional sources?

Kobojunkieee:
Operating and we just dey hear of am only now? Why?

Old news kobo.

Whenever Obaseki complained about no crude, people never read his message. They just start saying/writing he's ugly, a traitor, Edo has bad roads, hail WIKE AND OSHIOMHOLE and unrelated maters etc. Being not part of APC.

Even the news we get to hear is first politically filtered. As as far as I know, Edo has two modular refineries. Some other states were waiting to observe Edo refinery experience first. I guess this would put them off now.

You can't expect Otedola, Adenuga or Ibeto to build a $5 billion refinery now after seeing Dangote's $20 billion dollar experience.

AntiChristian:


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.
