Jagaban! Your policies look good on paper but the common man suffers the hardship more.

Whenever World Bank, IMF and foreign investors (oil is what they mostly invest in and can take out huge profits quickly) applaud FG policy, Nigerian citizens should always prepare for hardship similar to IBB's SAP era. Their gain is always our pain and penury,

You can’t collect a a chieftaincy title, but if you invited to England to accept a Knighthood from the king you will go.

We’ve been programmed to despise and reject our own traditions while we adore, worship and embrace another man’s culture as being superior.

Who did this to us?!?

The brainwash nor be here. Very sad. And many of their MoGs are top in different secret societies.
But average darkie dey form more Christian than the pope. Oyinbo really mentally imprison most dudu people seriously. Pathetic,

When black man will free himself like Japanese, Chinese, Indians, and others, I don't know.

Question: Does 'oko' or 'oke' mean 'male' in any Edoid language?

In Benin proper, you can still use Oko mwen! exclamtion to mean my guy! Even just a few decades back. Or when you want to express being puzzled to a guy, but can be colloquially used generally too.

A few decades back, grandparents would still refer to God as Oghenosa, Osa, Okodudu, Osanobua, etc.

Today, poorly informed people would argue that only Osa and Osanobua are Benin words. Some would even claim that Oghene is exclusively Urhobo or Isoko.
People need to start realising how very limited their knowledge is. That is how to truly begin learning.

The guy wants to kpai himself before his time.

To manage one woman sef these days nor easy,
Good luck to him.

Chai! Renewed shege don reach this level

People go come dey chop excess cholesterol. No be cardiac failure be that

My brother, the way high cholesterol, heart attack and diabetes go finish people nor go be here.
Tomato in stew is one of the most consistent veg eaten by lots of people in 9ja. Remove it and see health wahala.
Tatashe, onions and mushrooms are far better alternatives. I doubt if they are cheap though.

Igboid:
Liars.
Okoro is Igbo imprint on Bini.
Other Edoid languages don't use Okoro, that's how you know a borrowed word.
But Okoro in it's dialect forms are found in all Igbo/Igboid speaking groups and the meaning is so entrenched in Igbo World view that it doesn't have to be guessed.

My problem with you minorities is that you are always quick to drum on whatever little imprints you have on your Igbo speaking neighbors but will never admit to any Igbo print your Igbo speaking neighbors left on you, instead you try to downplay it or claim it's shared.

So you mean that after thousands of years of interactions with Igbo speaking Ika, it was only Ika who got imprinted with Edo names while Bini had no Ika( Igbo) names imprinted on them?

See this one o. I don't give a hoot whether you have the word Okoro in Igbo or not. And I will never care. I have no interest whatsoever in Igbo.

Okoro is an ancient Benin word for prince. So shoo. I have no business with you or Igbo.

fero007:
Osakwe can be an Igbo name but I can bet my life that osakwe is also an Edo name, a Bini name sef, I seen many, know many of them, don't deceive anybody

Let me test you, do you know that Okoro is also an urhobo name?

Okoro is an ancient Benin name.

Okoro was originally a gentleman but over time became used for Prince. Oba's male children are called Okoro. Benin Crown Prince is called Okoro n'Okhua. He's only called Edaiken upon maturity when he moves to Edaiken Palace at Uselu.

I know at least 20 Benin families with surname Okoro.

Reminderz:
Share your experiences...

Here's mine: I'm always happy for him, even when he opened his own store and rented his own space, in fact, I was one of the first person to get there when he celebrated his winnings... I gave him the needed support and encouragement... I realised that anytime I got my own breakthroughs, he never celebrated me or does as if he noticed them...

I later found out he was even jealous of my own winnings despite how true I was to him... I cut off the relationship before I got stabbed in the back... I didn't really know where the envy or jealousy was coming from...

Envy and jealousy are like witchcraft. Nothing good you do for a jealous person will make him/her stop being envious.

Even your kindness/generosity towards them will make them jealous.
See, a typical jealous person likes to believe that they are the smartest, best and most successful. Another person's success or achievement, no matter how little, punches a big hole in their gigantic ego. Despite all their outwards pretence of superiority or success, they actually have inferiority complex.

The only thing that makes them happy is to see others down so that they can feel like top dog.

One example: a couple I was there for over many years achieved a milestone. I was there celebrating with them. In good and sad moments, I was there. When mine came, they both did their best not to come. Giving flimsy excuses.

A few years earlier, I had supported the hubby to achieve a milestone (related to both as a couple). He then begged me not to allow our friends know that I showed him the way. So that it would appear he did it all by himself. I obliged him that and other things that were weird.

But when he and his wife would not come to celebrate perhaps the most important milestone with me, I cut them loose. And not a second too soon. I rebuffed every attempt of theirs to reconnect.

It's better to have even just two friends than scores of leeches and jealous entities.

Goalnaldo:
Women are very jealous of each other. Forget the women supporting women bullshit. Ask yourself why is it women that are coming up to bring this hilda's cookathon record? Sometimes the jealousy is spiced with a little bit of witchcraft..I'll explain. A female work colleague once told me she can never date me but once i'm collecting another girl's number, she will be frowning, if i try to touch or hug a girl, she will block me, lol. you dont want me and you dont want me to have another, is that not witchcraft?

This one off me. [b][/b]

Just let this people go

They don't wanna be part of this failed tribalistic entity

Why they are forcing SE to stay part of 9ja is beyond me. Why the can't organise a common referendum to allow them decide is what I don't get. It's not FG can cater for even 100m people, let alone 200m plus people,

True. Edo people have been in Lagos from the beginning. Including Oba of Lagos family, Obanikoro, Eletu Odibo and many more.

Did it suddenly become a scam because we remembered the people who fought against removing it in 2012.

The same people who fought GEJ in 2012 are now forming hero. Very funny people.
They knew GEJ doesn't control Newspapers, so they used bigotry and propaganda against.
The same people whose family owns oil importing company and subsidy scammers dey form hero after dem chop billions tire.

Ehen na. The lady don kpai somebody before. Possibly the biological father of the little girl. May be he demanded more access or wanted his daughter for good.

If you nor fear run from woman, leg must be "paining" you or you are suicidal.

Na woman wey get belle dey flirt.

IMASTEX:
Wisdom is profitable to direct. If they now decide to refund the #17,500, hope he can also wakeup the girl. Never be careless doing what you can't undo

The dead lady already refunded the missing money before being criminally abducted and imprisoned by hotel owner.

If there was evidence the dead lady wanted to steal 17.5k, in that case just report her to the police or sack her or both. Finish.

Yes, at times some employees can be annoyingly fraudulent or reckless but we must all learn to avoid impunity.

RIP to her.

Not only that O !!

The President of Nigeria must also approve your renounced Citizenship application form

You cannot renounce your Nigerian Citizenship until Mr President says so !!!!

And signs it !!!

Let me give it to you Straight

Hamzat never renounced his Citizenship
and even if he did ( Which he didn't ) President Tinubu of Nigeria under the constitution of Nigeria has the right and full authority to restore it !!!!;

Cc LegendHero

It all boils down to technicality and poorly formulated constitution by the military. Nigeria has such a huge diaspora today today that by now, restrictions or lack of on political positions for 9ja with other citizenship status should be made clear.

It shouldn't matter who the president is or not to wade into such issues. The system and strong institutions should be very sure of their work and enlighten the public. That will benefit everyone.

As you will recall both APC and PDP have taken each other to court over such matters before. Now it's LP v APC. Next time, it could be members of the party you support going to court over same matter yet again.

Christistruth03:
This Document is from the US Government Website

Both Nigeria and US Recognizes dual Citizenship

By the way Nigerian Citizenship is renounced at the Nigerian Embassy who will then issue a Letter confirming it

So the Nigerian Government is the one who actually confirms that a former Citizen of Nigeria has renounced his Citizenship

You case will be thrown in the dustbin like it was in the Case of Senate President Bukola Saraki and former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun who were also both British Citizens
Do you know that Gen Sani Abacha was also a Citizen of Chad where his father came from?

Bukola was born in London when Oloye was a medic there. Kemi was also born in London. There was automatic citizenship by birth in UK those days. Unless your parents were foreign diplomats.

Both did not voluntarily apply for foreign citizenship, they were born with it. So the laws sees their case differently. Abacha also didn't apply for Chad citizenship.

The law is a bit silly here because whether you were born with it or acquired it, you have allegiance to a foreign country and that country may use you as a spy. But the law is the law.
Presidency/VP and governorship/DG are executive positions that come with immunity from the law. Unlike senators, house of rep, commissioners or ministers that make key decisions but have no immunity.

So I guess the law seeks to guarantee a high level of allegiance to 9ja for those executive positions.

davidnazee:
It’s in recorded history bro, if you research you will find.
The first educated Igbo man, Olaudah Equiano born 1725, wrote in his book about his birth place in present day Anambra state and said they were ruled by the Benin Kingdom and subjects to the Oba of Benin.

Lol. If it suits their narrative then Equiano was correct but if it doesn't suite their revisionist ethno-nationalistic propaganda, they say he left too young to know exactly.

Some world people nor dey even use sense spread lie.

Spiritual Doctor

In 2023?

Do people still patronise these sets of beings?

People patronise those juju doctors even more now. Only that some former juju doctors have metamorphosed into prophet or alfa. Some still practice both together. One during daytime, the other at night.

When economy is hard, people are suffering or make little headway in life, they put it down to enemies or village people. And that's the bread and butter of juju doctors.

Adonispco:
Am sorry for my writing pattern; I am in a serious dilemma since January.

I live in a face me I slap you house with just four co-tenants and the landlord.

There is this neighbour of mine that parked in on December 2021, a married man with three kids; two daughters and a son,the eldest daughter should be around 14 years old while the son and the last daughter should be about 4 & 2 years respectively.

We where living in peace although one has to make tolerance a friend for there to be peace.
These my neighbour's eldest daughter to be honest is morally bankrupted, she steals and lies without remorse.

My neighbour's wife always try to cover up her daughter bad behaviours. During christmas time 2022, I noticed a sudden suspicious behaviours from my neighbours wife towards me in particular; she does as if am a diabolic person, as a cool headed guy I focused on my life until on January 21 2023 when I heard the worst words towards my dignity and reputation as a common person;

Fellow nairalanders guess what? My neighbours wife accused me of poisoning his two little kids.

As a cool guy and from what i learnt never to take action when angry, I maintained like its nothing but told our landlord.

My neighbour who is a driver usually travels and can stay there for weeks, so I have to wait for the man of the house to return and hear from him before taking action, so on 29 January he returned, a general yard meeting processed; he was asked to explain more on the accusation from his wife towards me and this was what he said;

"Someone in our yard premises poisoned his children using mirinda and biscuit" that we all are lucky nothing happened to his kids otherwise he will call the police to arrest everybody in our yard.

When asked how he found out that it was someone from our yard and what sickness his children suffered; he said that his children were vomiting blood in the middle of the night, and he went to a spiritual doctor who told him that it was someone from the yard he lives in.

Please Nairalanders what will I do cause I have tried to let go of this heavy accusation but it havent been easy and to make matters worse the once loved innocent easy going guy have become a depressed soul due to the crack on my previous solid reputation.

Please anyone with a good pragmatic solution should help a brother.

I hope you used your mobile phone to secretly record the compound/yard meeting. So that you have evidence of the conversation. If you didn't, use cunning way to call another compound meeting under the guise of trying to find peace and harmony so that they can all repeat the nonsense and you can record it. If you report to police without evidence, your neighbours and landlord can deny that such an accusation was ever made or heard.

But after gathering recorded evidence, find another accommodation before you report to the police. People who go to juju doctor can equally do okpor and put on the ground or doorstep to harm you. Those are not people to share a compound with.

Intimidating c v......southern Kaduna ...I hope this will put an end to all this bandit menace

CDS nor get any clout na COAS dey call the shots. CDS only does what C-in-C allows him. C-in-C can bypass CDS and directly instruct COAS.

During Buratai's time as COAS, CDS was useless. C-in-Cs are very happy to make minorities CDS because in democratic setting in 9ja CDS is just the senior military bureaucrat.

This guy don go find trouble
You leave vetting when you go vet her and consult your family if it's appropriate, you went to nairaland to consult people that are not even in a relationship for advice.
Here you go, them say na you kill the man...

Kikikikikiki

The OP na clown o.

He get luck say na anonymous forum. Like now some mob go dey search for tyre and matches with scarce fuel. To avenge conniving with the wife to poison his cousin.

Most cultures have a protocol for keeping a widow in late husband's family, if the woman wishes to stay and there is a willing relative of the dead to marry her. In the past, this lady that has no no children would the much in demand by eligible male in-laws.

In many cultures, the person inheriting the wife will have to be junior in age to the late hubby.
But in modern times, I guess it has become rare.

OP should ask his parents/family elders to guide him.

TOPMAN4LIFE:
You people like to twist history, but government knows the truth and that's why they placed you in your right place, you adopted oba title from Yoruba, some of you still bear our names and some of ur words are copied from Yoruba language and you are claiming fake stories

Which govt? It's Hausa-Fulani/Muslim controlled govt/constitution that determines your history?
Oh yes, It's Hausa that gave the name "Yari.ba" that became Yoruba. Thank God in my part of SW, we know our true links with Ife and Benin and have our unique name and dialect. Olugbo is making things clearer to many.

They can use errand boy obas they selected (Oluwo said so) in your zone as they want. We don't want it, never have and never will.
You guys have a completely different notion of what monarchy is. That's why some obas there embrace bling, party and celebrity life so enthusiastically. Because most never thought they will ever get there. I know some who are different though and still behave well.

Benin is totally different. A Benin crown prince will have already travelled far and wide and met all the influential people.

You cannot be giving what you took from Benin. Oba and Izoduwa all came from Benin.

When it comes to twisting history, Lagos-Ibadan historians/Press are the champion. Nothing is sacred. They can twist anything including monarchy, history, ethics, anything to suite regional political agenda.

Oba of my place in SW who insisted on the truth was deposed back then. He regained his throne but the politician who engineered his removal never achieved his life ambition till he died.

Even today, any SW person who has a different opinion to current political agenda is called omale for having own mind and views. In a place where people claim tolerance and omoluabi ethos o.
