Cock and Bull story
storyline story

Caseless:
Trump is fit like a "fiddle", many thanks to his early realization that that alcohol is harmful - looking at he saw it did to his uncle and he decided not to take alcohol. Kamala on the other hand is even guzzling beer at her rally.

guzzling indeed lol

Clairvoyancy:
I will show you your comments by November when Kamala becomes the POTUS...

Which President

Hahaha make I laugh

Are you aware Obama came out blasting black African American men

Kamal Haris support among them is so much diminished

They said what did Kamal Haris do for them while attorney for California

She was locking up many Brothas in the jail and penitentiary

Now she's looking for there support

Hispanic Men also are not supporting Kamal Haris like that also

Anyway by November election everything will be clear to all

We will see the results live

PEACE2023:
What even bothers me more is that majority of them that japa don't have a career Job in abroad.
We have seen a lot of them telling us the mistakes they made.
If there is no Igboman in my set in the next 15 years, then no Igboman will be a director as at then so we should not be chanting marginalization when we marginalized ourselves because of greed.

Which greed

Most of you don't even understand what APC did to Nigeria

Her best brains have all gone overseas and many more are going

APC s economic policy destroyed the middle class

This is not just federal civil service

Even the private sector

Why do you think is the reason why many Nigerian Banks systems have been failing?

The best brains are all gone

One guy raised alarm that all the major accounting firms
Most of there best brains have all relocated to the US UK Canada EU Australia, New Zealand

The havoc that was done to Nigeria in 2015
Destabilized almost every system

The West gained the brain drain

My sister a manager in Telecom company left Nigeria with her husband and children to Canada in 2018

She and her husband said they knew where Nigeria was heading to

Guess what

By 2023 they got there Canadian passport

She now travels around the world
No restrictions

She also got a very good job with a Fortune 500 multinational

Nigeria had brains

But the politicians didn't maximize this God given talent for Nigeria

TinubuBarawo:


The problem these busy body governors failed to understand is that Mondays in Anambra especially onitsha has been set as unofficial resting days for traders.
Nobody hold anybody to open on Mondays oo
but you can never tell us when to open shop and when not to.
Even if Kanu comes out today, I doubt the sit at home will stop.

Yes an Onitsha based trader told me so

That they now take Monday s to rest as an extension of weekend

Because normally they don't rest before
But this sit at home helps them


Even I myself enjoy it
Anytime I come around to the East for any dealings

PHIPEX:
Smaller countries have left us behind. We keep decieving ourselves while retrogressing in full speed.

At least thank God world class infrastructure worth it's weight is coming to black Africa

We can brag with this one as black Africans

Not news of poverty and backwardness
Brandished about this part of the world


Very very big
Congratulations to Tanzania
I am greatly impressed

Broveens42:
Writing documentations for people is not a sign of civility. Civility is having your own writing system for your own consumption.
Igbos had their writing system for their own consumption, used insignias/signs for their consumption, used the 4 day calendar system for their own consumption etc


Those nations you mentioned were inspired by war and conquest to write, which in no way can be considered civil.

Then what written documentation of past history of our people or our forefathers do we have

I have asked this question many times and have continued to ask
But no reply


This is actually one of the things holding black African down

There's so much reliance on the validation of the oyibo man

There's no authenticity

It's a very big pity

Parents should teach there children that they are different and unique
That they are not inferior to anybody


One South African poet before he died looked across Africa and shaked his head that black Africa is directionles

It's a very big pity

RevDesm0ndJuju:
What most of you are not aware of is that western liberal arts are dominated by self hating white liberals who now promote cultures and languages of exotic people across the planet towards antagonising their own White European Culture.

These Western Liberal Arts establishment seek to promote exotic cultures that can stand their ground against white imperialism.

The focus is to promote languages and cultures that have a rich history for you can't study a language without studying the culture of the people and studying culture requires a delve into the history of that people.

Yoruba and Hausa are promoted because these two languages are from two great African civilisations.

The Ibo have none and so studying it will only expose Ibo precolonial society as one lacking substance and so further the colonial mandate to "tame those savages".

Ibo language is not studied just as much as no one has any interest to study the language of the primitive pygmy people in the Congo.

The Western Liberal Arts promotion of certain African languages alongside their culture and history is not motivated by an altrustic academic quest but rather meant to further demonize European Colonial past.

So these western liberal departments seek out those African societies that had a rich history and sophisticated civilization to promote.


That's the honest truth. Promoting Ibo language will only put Ibo pre colonial society under the microscope and if this is done will only bring about ridicule to Ibos.

Story story

How does the oyibo view Africa as a whole?

Which sophisticated civilization?

Show me one black African tribe that had written language documented from past?

Absolutely non

We have Hebrews, Greek, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, japanese, Indian, Nepal, etc languages with documentation as far back as 4000 years ago

So forget all these sophisticated civilization stuff

The only people that had an edge over other tribes in Nigeria was the Fulani s because of there exposure and influence of Islam over 600 years ago

That's why they still have that advantage over other tribes in Nigeria

There where renowned Islamic scholars of repute who were Africans like world renowned ibn bhatuta

But claiming sophistication
There wasn't anything sophisticated about it

In Ernest do we really need anyone to authenticate our language

Igbo language wasn't taken seriously in the times past

There weren't many scholars involved in Igbo language

The only one that comes to my mind as a kid was Dr F C Ogbalu of

To me Worrying about African language is even the least of worries

What are we doing about underdevelopment, poverty and backwardness across Africa

Believing oyibo Man to vet your language then you feel you have arrived to me is inferiority complex


We have many issues bedeviling us

That should be our worries

In conclusion
Igbo parents should endeavor there children know Igbo language both writing and reading
Know the vowels, sound and right way of pronouncing it


I thank God my parents made us learn to read and write Igbo language from childhood

I was a fluent Igbo language reader as young as age 9 I was already reading Igbo Bible even in Sunday school lesson

mrvitalis:
Funny thing is I am an Engineer... Economics has always been by hubby.. I love to read and research about it

I learned developmental economics on my own

Wow you are even an Engineer

I respect engineers oh

I did one engineering mathematics course in college called financial engineering

Bro I want craze

Great to have good grasp of the economic concept!!

The problem we have in Nigeria is lack of knowledge

Peter Obi made much sense
He knows what to do about the issue

But every discuss here turns to insult
Instead of arguing as intellectuals

mrvitalis:
I simplified that part it's a very complex process and not to individual per say but businesses

Say take pharmaceutical industry for example

You call Top 25 industry players...ask them

1) what do you import that you can produce here if money is not an issue and how much it would cost

2) what would it take for you to become a net exporter of drugs across say west Africa

They list their demands

You agree with them and banks

2 billion dollars made available to banks at 2 percent interest rate for 15 years first 5 years zero interest and zero repayment

Banks. Loan to this companies at not more than 10% interest with first 5 years zero payment


B) you think those companies that left Nigeria would leave if you offered them 100 million dollars 2% intense rate for 10 years with first 5 years no payment in exchange for more sourcing of materials locally?

Bros what you don't know is bigger than you
Developmental economics is no joke

Chai mrvitallis my man

Your grasp of the whole thing dey sweet me

I like this your quote:

"Bros what you don't know is bigger than you
Developmental economics is no joke"


Developmental economics no be jokes

I thank God for the professors I sat under there lectures in my college days

The thing no be beans

richiemcgold:
.. 🤔
Buhari borrowed and we condemned him for that.

Tinubu is currently borrowing and we're also condemning him for it.

.. now Obi says he too would've borrowed.

This simply means that Nigeria is a VERY POOR COUNTRY (although the country is massively endowed with valuable resources).

Money runs our world

All successful countries borrow

But the difference is where the money is put into

Dubai that you see today was built by money they borrowed

They had oil but still borrowed money

But it was used well


Prince Mohamed bin Salman
Present ruler of Saudi Arabia is Developing a city in Saudi Arabia called knom

The city is valued at $1 trillion dollars

Funds for the project will come from the Western countries, there big banks and financial institution

Because the project makes serious economic sense
Funds will come


He's announced the city will be commissioned 2030


Dangote built a refinery in Nigeria
One of the biggest in the world

He borrowed money to build it
Even though he was the richest man in Africa


The major problem with many African countries is we don't have the capacity to attract funds / financing money

The risk is very high

So foreign investors can't put there money where there's high risk

Like I was thought by my professors in college


Political stability, respect for rule of law or called PESTEL analysis

PESTEL: political, economic, sociocultural, Technology, Environment, Laws

Are the things foreign investors use to analyse where best to invest

The kind of politics practiced in our clime have given us serious disadvantages in the committee of Nations

Salewa97:
Peter Obi is just being petty with his statements.

How can you be borrowing money to pay another debt?

That's a reckless statement from him

Because there is so much lack of knowledge
People will just be arguing anyhow


Peter Obi is very right in what he said

Nigeria was already in a very big mess economically


Then Tinubu on the day of his swearing in
Announced that subsidy was gone


He didn't consider the condition of ordinary Nigerians into his plans and just announced it


While Nigerians were already crying from Buhari s economic pain


What he should have done is exactly what Peter Obi said

A. Don't remove subsidy or devalue naira

B. Borrow to stabilize and put the borrowed money into critical sections of the economy to kick start the economy

C. Put strict economic reforms

D. Then begin to remove subsidy in a piece meal approach
So Nigerians can't feel the heat

E. As the economy is picking up remove subsidy completely

Then economic development /growth will be on course


Tinubu didn't consider all these things before he removed subsidy

Now the economy is totally on Life support

mrvitalis:
Everyone knows that's the only solution
Obi said he would borrow 12 billion dollars that he had the connections

The Koko is what you use the borrowed money to do

APC from Buhari to Tinubu now keep borrowing to build infrastructure with the hope that the infrastructure would kick start development

Not only are the infrastructure over inflated they are sighted wrongly so can't even breakeven

So they just increase our debt service, increase recurrent expenditure and have absolutely no increase in revenue

Obi solution is to borrow money

Give it to the people, support business especially in export potential business and import substitutes

1) you create employment
2) you boost revenue, as this businesses come for the needed loan you capture them into the tax net
3) you don't increase debt service per say as the people would pay back the loan

This can kick start a chain of events that kick start the economy

OBi and Tinubu are not the same

Thank you very much

You got it spot on

You can't just wake up and remove fuel subsidy, devalue naira like Tinubu did without putting in cushioning effect to protect the common man on the street


Tinubu goofed big time

I wonder what his advisers where actually advising him about or he wasn't listening to them.


Now Nigeria s economy is laying completely flat

May God save this Nation

eteba:
There's every possibility.

There's no every possibility of any walk over

It's going to be a long battle

Jagaban may still come out Victorious but he will have to battle with lots of Northern heavy weights politicians now opposed to him

This Northern opposition will be his biggest battle

Also economic hardship Nigerians are not happy

By the way
Wike is even building up more enemies for this administration

His behavior is an eye sore

He think everything na gra gra

Anyway I will just sit down and watch the whole issues

eteba:
This has been the game plan of Wike, Damagun and Anyanwu all along, at the behest of BAT.

The job is done, decimate the opposition completely, allow for a walk-over in 2027.

PDP in Rivers state may not even be eligible to field candidates in 2027, no thanks to the banana peels laid by both factions everywhere.

Atiku couldn't keep PDP intact, but wants to be President.

There's no walkover

PDP will disintegrate

There will be those that will join coalition to form a mega party like APC was formed to remove PDP

Wike and his group will now join APC

Then battle for 2027 will have started in Ernest

seanfer:
This is a game by the Wike and his camp headed by the Chairman and National Secretary to force Atiku's men out of the NWC.
The best plan is for the Atiku's camp to cause real division in the PDP and create opportunity for them to merge with other opposition parties.. A replay of 2013-2014 (N-PDP).
A new mega party merger is cooking...

Exactly

They will kill PDP and merge to a new Mega party


Wike should go and join APC

vanitybutiwanti:
LOL, PDP will die If wike doesn't have his way, if they go ahead to hold a Congress, Pro wike group will obtain a judgement preventing INEC from observing the Congress, you don't even know what is coming for PDP.

Which die?

Wike will be expelled

He is not the only one that knows his way to the Court

He will be expelled

Let him go to APC

Causing problem everywhere

efemena5050:
this one just want to comment make e be like say he dey alive and talking or perhaps is on social media .....imagine wetin u take ur time type up there ...when the topic requires articulated and sound objectivism In reasoning........I think I know ur type .....
They gather together and begin to argue on topic out of their knowledge...now they assume the person in the gathering with loudest voice eventually wins the Topix and at the end they all accept what the over bearing loud mouthed fellow spew

My friend you guys should tell Wike
He is not bigger than Nigeria

Entire Nigeria is watching what is happening

Pride goes before a fall

God hardened the heart of Pharaoh
To finally disgrace Him


You guys will see how this matter will end
Just mark it

The disgrace will be so glaring

adioolayi:
Have a retrospect...a deep one, and think of what you have just written.

When court judgement is being enforced...hope you won't shout to high heavens.


I am not in support of any politician, because, for me..they are same...but saying no one will obey an appeal court judgement, when such has not been set aside by a superior court..in this case, Supreme Court...it's concerning.

Oga nothing dey happen

This is a dieing horse kicking for it's last battle

Go and write it down
Wike cannot dictate for Rivers people


They have already moved on


You want to dictate for Rivers people
You want to dictate for PDP
Want everyone to bow to you


Mind you the power behind Nigerias throne are watching what is happening

No Man is greater than Nigeria

When Abacha could be dealt with

Nobody born whatsoever can hold Nigeria to Ransom

They should better Call Wike to order

NLCreator:
https://dailytrust.com/sell-petrol-to-us-below-n900-or-refund-our-money-ipman-tells-nnpc/

When things are not done in appropriate manner

Nnpc wants to cut there throat

In commodities business, future/forward options contracts can be entered into

It's the norm around the world

Even in Wall Street, NYSE, and other trading platforms around the world

Now Nnpc wants to default

This shows the kind of persons running our oil industry

pianogirl:
Very good question. Secondly, why should the price of PMS refined here in Nigeria cost almost the same as that of the one being imported?
It absolutely doesn't make any sense. What then is the advantage of having our own local refinery?

You see all of them are not talking true

There's a lot of fishy things really going on

Islie:
https://www.thecable.ng/the-insider-why-nnpc-hiked-petrol-price-and-quit-as-middleman-to-dangote/amp/

My problem with this report is why must the petrol price from Dangote refinery dependent on the Naira rates in dollars?

Something is really not adding up here

It doesn't make sense

Refinery is in Nigeria
Yet it's price is still dependent on rise and fall of Naira rates to the dollar


Something is not actually right with this issue here
Very big problem

kokakola:
Nigerians on queues in Passport offices across the country tells you the situation of things in the country. If you have the right opportunities, channels and funds please leave for a better future for yourself and family...

And you think this will bring any solution


Ah I weep for the black man

Who do us this thing?

rentAcock:
I've said it before and I will say it again. Even if Fuel hits N5000/litre or dollar reach N5000/$, I will never give up on this country. Sometimes things have to get worse before getting better due to the implementation of radical but much needed policies. We suffer now so our children can have a better future. Pushing the can down the road just to appease the populace hasn't worked and the buck stops here.

It's painful but fleeing abroad is never the solution. Everyone likes to complain of bad governance this, corruption that, but how many of you have tried to bring about positive changes in your daily lives to curtail corruption? I still see people skipping the lines at the bank after bribing the security guard or some bank worker so they can be seen before others. I still see people bribing airport staff just so they won't search their bags and things like that.

Most of these politicians were once ordinary citizens like you and I and they also decried bad governance and corruption only to continue in the same path when they got elected. This is the reason I don't have any party loyalty nor do I listen to wailing Nigerians because you are all the same like the elected officials. If we want to see this country turn around, we all need to play our part. Stop participating or promoting corruption at your current level in life, then encourage your family members and friends to do the same. Our problems will not magically disappear, it has to start at the grassroot where we all make an effort to change the culture of corruption so that with time, maybe all our collective efforts will yield positive results. Until then, we should not complain because 99% of you will be just as bad if elected today.

What you said is complete trash.

Until those in authority begin to live responsibily
The ordinary common man will go through horrible pain


Those in authority are the problem

They don't live by example
They don't give a damn about the ordinary Man in the street.

They live a bloated, exhobitant lifestyles at the mercy of the people


And you have the effontry to write this trash


What you wrote there is complete wickedness
It's not good at all

Do you know what ordinary Nigerians are going through?

God forbid bad thing

Nice one from our amiable Governor Prof Charles Soludo!!

Great work you are doing in Ochanja market

Kudos to that

Also kudos to primary health care you did across many towns

My town union Development Union opened there own recently

I was very impressed

Your 2nd term is confirmed

On another note

I want to the governor to look at Nnewi roads
They are my in-laws
It's an eyesore
They're not happy with it

Please do something about Nnewi roads abeg

Ojiofor:
IPOB brought this anarchy and chaos into once the most peaceful state in southeast and Nigeria and turn it into death,torture,rape and kidnapping capital.Some us raised alarm when Nnamdi Kanu launched his private army called Eastern Security Network they turned out to be Eastern Insecurity Network.
Villages have been taken over by this criminal elements known as UmuOma and many people can nolonger visit their home town as a result of this.Nnamdi Kanu gave a standing order to kill soldiers in SE and that is what they have been doing ever since.

That jail break was praised by Nnamdi Kanu and he said and I quote '[b]if bokoharam suspects are being released from prison no criminal deserves to be in prison in Igboland'[/b]and as a result of that action is what we are seeing today.

Watch a video of some kidnapped ndi Eze from Imo state ugm/esn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JclNljGn2O0
The only way Igboland can heal is by telling ourselves the truth and by exposing those who are behind insecurity in Igboland.
Blaming outsiders is non-starter na we dey do ourselves by ourselves.

It's heartbreaking to see what South East turned into

Buhari, hope uzodimma, kanu, ipob, South East leaders are all culpable

Responsible leadership that will tackle these security issues must be in place
If the East want to be serious

Fighting against federal Government won't do anyone any good
Those boys must get sense by force

Peter Obi better leave labour party and form your own political party

This what Buhari did with CPC

He now had footing to go into alliance to form APC
With same Buhari being the senior member in the alliance

Build your own political party

Because they will always use someone/moles to scatter your movement

A word is enough for the wise

APGA used your sweat to build themselves
Labour party also used your sweat to build themselves


Enough using your sweat in building others

Better use your sense

That's what Buhari used to dodge all previous blackmails

tishbite42:

AguluLiar:
Obi does not have that political sagacity to form any party. He is an oppotunist

Only his illiterate blodas will vote him in 2027

Lol

Then who voted him in 2023 elections
