It is not about Igbos here, it is about Nigeria... No matter where the votes will come from and what the outcome will be, I am obidient

Archaeologists will not allow the sleeping mummies of Egypt rest in peace...

Nigeria started off in 1960 as a federation of three Regions, Western Region, Eastern Region and Northern Region, corresponding to the three major ethnic groups, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, and the minority ethnic groups around all three

In 1963, a 4th Region was created for the non-Yoruba ethnic groups of the Western Region. This new Region was called the Mid-Western Region

So how did Nigeria go from 4 semi autonomous Regions with resource control, to 36 States with no resource control, most of whom survive on monthly government subvention?

May 27th 1967:

Military head Of State, Lt Colonel Yakubu Gowon issues Decree 14 which abolished all 4 Regions, and replaced them with 12 States.

The Eastern Region was broken up into three States- East Central State, South Easten State and Rivers State

The Northern Region was broken into 6 States- Kano State, North Western State, North Central State, North Eastern State, Benue-Platue State and Kwara State

The Western Region was Broken into two States -  Western State and Lagos State

The MidWest Region simply became Midwest State.

1976- The regime of General Murtala Mohammed announces the creation of 7 additional states: The East Central State was cut into two to create Anambra and Imo State, South Eastern State became CrossRiver State, from Western State and West central, Ogun, Oyo and Ondo were created.

North central State became Kaduna state, North western state became Sokoto and Niger States, while Bauchi, Gongola and Borno were created out of North Eastern State. Benue-Platue State was cut into two to create Benue and Platue State

1987- General Bababgida created two additional States to bring total to 21 states: Katsina is carved out of Kaduna, Akwa Ibom is carved out of Cross River

1991- General Babangida creates 9 additional states to bring total to 30 states. Adamawa, Yobe, Delta, Edo, Taraba, Kebbi, Jigawa, Osun, Abia are all carved out


1996 - General Abacha created 6 additional states to make it a total of 36 states- Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Kogi, Nasarawa, Ekiti, Zamfara

36 States

Creation of states was meant to bring about utilization of resorces and grassroot goverance. But, it ended up plunging the nation in more segregationalism and corruption.
Regional government was the best for Nigeria, not this federalism and over reliance on crude oil

Interesting, what were the security details looking at for her to get so upclose

I wish Kwankwaso and all other aspirants all the best... Come 2023, I will be obedient no matter what the outcome of the election will be

Evil is everywhere you go like MTN

Guys in the house, what is your experience like dating single mothers.

I recently met a beautiful young lady who has never been married but has a daughter with a guy who isn't taking up much of the responsibility.

I have a good job and can obviously take care of the basics. The issue started from when I started giving her some money randomly not for any particular purpose. She called me recently and said her daughter's school fee is due and how much am I bringing.

In my head, she is not my child so why do you want to push the responsibility on me so fast. If I ask about the dad, she'll say I shouldn't worry because he's irresponsible.

We're not intimate yet because she said no sex before marriage, na that one we still dey fight about.

My question is, is it ok for her to ask me for her child fees just because we're dating or am I supposed to automatically take up the girls upkeep because I'm dating her mother?

Please, if you can not stand the heat... Do not stand near the fire nonetheless cook on it.
I belive you understand more than I have said

I've been married to my wife for over 5years now but honestly I'm really tired of alot of her attitudes, strong head, rebellion, disrespect, and others. I don't know how to end the marriage peacefully due to the relationship i have with her family and also i'm somehow scared of her uncontrollable anger which might force her to wanna harm me. Sometimes i will want to take action(s) not minding the relationship between i have with her family but PITY is what hinders me most often because we have 3 kids together. But lately i just thought of getting a second wife so that if she isn't okay with it, she can go on her own. I'm not really financially buoyant the way you might begin to think or imagine but I'm contented with the little i have since i can feed another mouth (second wife).

What do you think guys? Please I need advice, no insult please.

Where cat sleep, rat go night hin tail. Wetin e dey finnnnnnnd!!?

chim14:
Its very common in Lagos espercially Lekki/Ajah axis to see girls wearing beads or chain on their left leg.

What does it mean, is it some sort of talisman or something?

Am curious to know what u guys think.

For some, it is talisman, for some it is a way lesbians get to know each other depending on which ankle the bead or chain is worn and for some, it is just an art of fashion.

The beautiful Ukraine is gone!!!

sodiqkolawole:
Is it a must? Is there no ways around it? She didn't do news paper publication.

There's no other way. She had to go and do newspaper publication and swear and affidavit for her change of name. The earlier the better

NB: You can still scale thru d visa interview bearing different names... But, it is better to do the change of name to avoid stories sha

This had really gone out of hand

He should thank his star... It is disheartening but it is better he moves on in peace.
He was married to a jezebel in d first place.
The unfortunate part in all these is that he has lost his manhood

Remembering how beautiful Ukraine was... I can't help but feel sorry about the foolishness of this senseless war

Nice narration... There is a reason why we speak well of Obi

Terrible to say the least... If you by chance find a good woman, biko! Dnt let her go cos there are now few!!!

Same advise to ladies; Husband materials are few, but boyfriends are many out there... So hold that good bros well.

Phimzy:
As a male getting an erection in public places is embarrasing,if not the most embarrasing things to ever happen to you.

People will label you a pervert for what you're not in control of,worse case scenario is if you are next to the one who you are sexually attracted to.You have exhausted one cup of vaseline visualising bleeping that person.

You had stood like a crippled while trying to hide the boner,but mini-you had other motives.The sight before you is so inviting.

-THE GIST-

Typing...

That has wanted to disgrace me so many times. There was even a day that bros was just rising as i worshipping in church... Shuuuu!!!!

Shap shap, I quickly dipped my left hand into my pocket to hold it down while my right hand was still lifted in worship

I ended up worshiping with swag cos of john thomas that did not want to corporate

Traitors!!!

Lamanii22:
To the mothers especially, what would you do to someone that is a bit older than your child, slaps your child for the flimsiest excuse?


Like I have kids that comes to my house to play with my niece… they were all playing football together which I left them to it, like they were having fun, so I just went inside….

Shortly after, they all came inside, and my niece was just quiet I thought she was probably hungry so I said I would cook indomie for her… I didn’t raise my head before, so I slightly raised it and I saw tears dripping from her eyes … AJ what happened?

‘Amara slapped me’ she said…. Like my head was hotttt, was boiling inside of me like the audacity of slap for me!!! I was pained like call her for me!

I changed it for her eehn I have never raised my hand to slap any kid before not to talk of my niece, I told her not to try it again in her entire life… I didn’t do anything to her though I just warned her but it really hurt me so much… the audacity of slap for me though.. like she doesn’t have any right over my niece…. She’s like 5 years older than my niece though…

You did the best thing

I think all these backfired on them and blew up in their faces..
