Tecnophone:
he donated government /peoples money.

First picture says 2021, which government post was he holding then?

Pakute:

You're a liar and I didn't expect anything less. Obi refused to pay the arrears till he left office in 2014. Obiano eventually paid the arrears after the court ordered the state government to pay the workers. Why lying, why does Obi & his supporters always lie without shame?

It's obvious you're irredeemable. Bye Felicia

Pakute:

The issue lingered till November 2007 that he was compelled by court to pay the arrears. How can Obi had a budgetary allocations of 805 million approved for arrears including #5billion reimbursement from FG yet refused to pay until he was dragged to the court?
The fraud had been swelling his Pandora loots a long time ago.

Obi was impeached in November 2006 while his deputy, Etiaba took over. He was reinstated in February 2007. In May 2007, he was removed as Governor and replaced by Andy Uba after 2007 elections, the Supreme Court reinstated him back subsequently. Support your own candidate, you must not like or support Obi, but don't go about holding unto straws in order to find dirt on Peter Obi

Iamgrey5:
So he even refused to pay them in 2007? Abi you didn't read the the other aspects of the news?

So if he couldn't pay worker's salary in a year what miracle can we expect from the saintly one in Nigeria.

It's inexcusable if you didn't know Andy Uba replaced Peter Obi as Governor in 2007 after 2007 elections, the election distractions and court cases which reinstated him back...as well as the subsequent impeachment for refusal to embezzle money...support your own candidate objectively but don't go on character assassination against another candidate especially if you're holding unto only straws. Chuka Obele Chuka you were citing was a PDP paid lawyer who was part of the people Peter Obi was fighting through the courts.

Peter Obi was sworn in as Anambra State Governor in March 17, 2006 after the Ngige's removal. You want him to perform magic 5months into office for a problem that accumulated under the previous administration when he hadn't yet reorganised the State's treasury that was being pilferred by the Ubas and their thugs? Keep digging for dirt, you will eventually find what you're looking for

Tomide007:

Not true, the guy slyed SW big time, same thing happening to d east now. You guys seem to av a victim mentality from that part of the country......have never meet anyone from my region in the SW who hate S/E'ners as u guys portray Except on nairaland....in fact I've never meet anyone who does not have an Igbo friend....Jonathan's government messed up and was voted out let's speak the truth, buhari portrayed himself as saint and was voted in, then PDP brought out the most hated Northerner in north to contest against buhari that has a cult like followership.

GEJ brought out Mulikat Akonde for speakership in 2011. Tinubu, Gbajabiamila and your Yoruba people voted against her in favour of a Muslim North. Yet, you still have the gut to blame GEJ for your woes. Tomorrow you will still blame GEJ should Osibanjo be dealt with by the cabal. Keep justifying your 2015 deadly mistake, tomorrow you may not even have the life or liberty in Nigeria to continue spewing this trash

Unfortunately it took an unwholesome agitation for the embassy to improve and start doing things the best way

iberrylee:

Inferiority complex kee you there, did you bother to read the post? If they ask you to stay in school you will decline, na gala u go prefer to dey hawk for traffic after filling your brain with strong akpu

I guess Nigerian frustration has really dealt with you. You can keep changing monikers and attacking people...but if you check my profile, you will realise nobody in your lineage attained the level of education I acquired. Again, if you wanna disgrace yourself further, we can exchange facebook details via email so that you confirm my life with yours...then you will truly go question your olodumare why he made you poor and kept you in an impoverished state all through your life

Hello!

For background, I was born to a Igbo father and a black American mother. I grew up in the U.S., and because my father didn't teach me anything about Nigeria, for the first part of my life I didn't even know I belonged to another culture. As I got a bit older I would question him about things pertaining to Nigeria; his response was "that's not important" or "don't ask such questions, focus on your book instead". At some point I asked him if he spoke another language. He confirmed that he did, but when I asked him to teach me he told me "no one speaks it, instead we just use English" and I accepted that answer.

I had a revelation one day in middle school when eating lunch with one of my friends. Like me she was born in the U.S., but had Chinese parents. We had gone to school together for nearly 10 years, so I was shocked when one day she picked up a phone call from her grandmother and spoke to her in fluent Chinese. When I questioned her on how she learned, she told me that her parents had been teaching her. That way, if she ever goes to China she won't struggle to communicate with her people, and if she chooses not to go she'll at least be able to talk with her grandparents that don't know English.

This impassioned me and that evening when my father came home from work I begged him to teach me Igbo, even though "no one speaks it". He agreed and taught me simple phrases like "kedu", "afa m bu", and "o di mma". The thing is, which it was nice to know these things I could not actually use them to communicate. I didn't understand Igbo grammar and my vocabulary was limited to basic greetings. When I began asking him the name of household items and chores he became angry with me. He told me I was focusing on Igbo and not my books (even though my grades were great), and that he'll punish me if I keep asking so I stopped.

Getting more so to the point, I'm now a graduate student in my early 20's. While I have tried my best to study Igbo, I have met many frustrations that have led me to investigate Hausa and Yoruba. At this point, it simply pains me that when I meet people from my country, I have no means of communicating with people from my country besides English. I plan on moving to Nigeria in the not-so-distant future, and when I go I want to be fluent is something.

Between the three major languages, the arguments I have for each are:

Igbo
As an Igbo person, it makes sense for me to prioritize my language. I don't want to just sit there confused and lost during family gatherings, I also want to be able to speak to my grandparents who don't understand English well. That's really the only positives of Igbo though, even excluding the past experiences mention above, I've over all become disheartened by the idea of learning the language for a variety of reasons.

Yoruba
One thing I like about Yoruba language is that Yoruba people seem to have put a lot of effort into developing it and teaching it. Most Nigerians I've met in the U.S. that speak a Nigerian language speak Yoruba, despite the fact that I've met mostly Igbo people. In addition, of Nigerians I've met also born in the U.S., only the Yoruba's are able to speak their language. Despite that, my family roots are in the South East. I may be able to speak with more Nigerians by learning Yoruba, but I'll still be disconnected from my family. Yoruba people might seem to have less of a "complex" when it comes to their language than Igbo people, but I have observed it's still there.

Hausa
I've only ever met one Hausa family in the U.S., but from what I've observed in Nigeria they seem to practice their language the most. In addition, it seems like Hausa is a lingua franca for most of the country, and many non-Hausas are fluent in the language. Hausa is one of the few sources I can find unadulterated practice of the language. It's also West Africa's most spoken indigenous languages. It still has the same problems a Yoruba though when it comes to connecting with my family. I also don't know how realistic it is to expect to live in the Northern Part of Nigeria as I have limited experience there.

Like I said, I want to move to Nigeria at some point and that's where I want to raise a family and start a career. When I have children I don't want them to grow up like me. I want them to be connected to their people and be able to communicate with them on a level no other group in the world can. I can tell my children to love and embrace African culture and languages when I know none myself.

I decided to come here for insight from other Nigerians as I have no one to talk to about this in real life. Given everything I've said what do you think I should do? At the end of the day I just want a sense connectivity and belonging among my people. I want to put my efforts into learning a language its speakers wholly embrace so I can pass it on to my children.

Also, I don't intend for this to be tribalistic at all. I would also appreciate if responses avoided tribalistic sentiments.

Unity beggars don come again...open account on 3rd April, already making posts on 8th April. What do you guys gain in fanning the flames of online ethnic hatred and bashing? Why not come out with your real identity rather than claiming Igbo which you ain't, give your location as Ogbomosho rather than claiming U.S, and provoke genuine discussion on the 3 major languages as a way of appreciating diverse cultural discussion rather than trying to pit one people against the other.

Hello house, goodmorning.

Please between Toyota Sienna 2002 and Honda Odyssey 2006 which one is best for interstate transport business and why?


Urgent answers needed as I intend buying either of the cars this evening.

Thanks for your input.

I can sell you Peugeot 307 2005 model direct Belgium at a cheaper rate than you'd pay for the sienna or Honda

[quote author=Teresematt post=76326302]Hello,
I want to get my first car. My budget is between 800K to 900K. The car will be for family use. I know it is difficult to get a good Nigerian used Toyota Corolla 03/04 or Matrix 04/05 for this amount but those are my preferred choices. I like Honda too but issues of leg pull usually scare me.
I live in Makurdi, Benue State.

Please I need sincere advises.
Thank you. [/quote
Make your money 1.2m and I will sell you Peugeot 307 2005 model direct Belgium no number I sent down to Nigeria last December. You can pm me for further details

BruncleZuma:
Bro I'm sorry you drew this conclusion from my post.

That's ok bro. The guy is marrying purely for love...the babe is from Poland

BruncleZuma:
Where did that come from?

That's the assumption one gets going through the post and the comments....an addition, he's not also marrying her for money, the guy makes his money while the girl is an immigrant too.

BruncleZuma:
For the first time in a very long while....she's Finnish.

She's not a finn...and he's not marrying her for papers...he already has his papers.

For those of us who were born before 1966, we remember that Western Nigeria had its Constitution, the North had its own Constitution, and the East had its own Constitution

He wants to live in 1966 and continue the same ideas that did not work then, now. Europe created the EU not becauae they are unity beggars as our unemployed ipob brothers will chant because they know there is strength in numbers and they understand that through these bandying together they will be better placed to compete in the global market. But we see a situation were failure in 2015 elections has become a basis for restructuring a country. Such emotional reactions clearly indicates unintelligence of the most lowest kind.

Do you really know the meaning of EU? I bet if you do, you wouldn't have made the above statement. The concept of EU is what restructuring is all about (strong units and a weak centre) and it's already applicable in West Africa through ECOWAS

Afghanistan just murdered civilisation at its birth...things people do for Islam

WorldRichest:


You are right my brother, Ahiara Diocese of Imo State is in North West Nigeria. Just accept that you people are too fraudulent even in your so called house of God.

Well from your username there's no need joining issues with you because you are fraudulent even to yourself. Don't you have conscience? How could you claim world richest when you struggle with your daily feeding, yet you accuse a people of being fraudulent? First cure your fraudulent nature before diverting attention to others. I won't give you the privilege of quoting you again

A diocese in South East is a fraction of the catholic priests in the South East, so your heading/title is wrong, mischievous and intended to mislead or ignite ethnic bashing. The ultimatum concerns priests in Ahiara Diocese of Imo State, and not the generality of South Eastern Dioceses

The guy don hit jackpot for this MMM crash...na Buhari's fault; Kenyans are affected

loswhite:
so what abt those without salary...lol the way some ppl reason is just crazy

Answer simple question you wanna divert into another...is that how your logic works? If you are not aware of how the justice system works then don't display your ignorance for the public to notice. Law is not for the layman to interpret...some people went to school for it and it's their job...rather than displaying crass ignorance you can also go to school for it.

Caseless:
the evidence is there with the DSS and it shall be presented against them in court. Keeping the money is not the crime, but keeping what's more than your salary is.

under which law? please educate us. May be i read a different law in the university and at the law school from the one you are quoting.

That was y I said 'on a lighter mood'


Life is a 2 sided coin

Cool bro.

Iseoluwani:




And if you are speaking with the said maturity, must you first insult to make your point clear


On a lighter mood

Lol I didn't insult...but in case my comment seemed insulting. ..I apologize

Iseoluwani:




If you don't have any thing reasonable to say must you quote me

Lol maturity is when you make mistake and are corrected or you were taught something you were ignorant of...you accept the correction in good faith.

Which kin country be this?

Accused of stealing 460k, and yet told to pay 500k, if she has the 500k, will she steal ni.


This our judges are too slack. Educated illiterates

Guess you are the illiterate here. Bail bond is not money that you are required to pay...it's kind of a covenant wherein you swear that you or your surety will pay the stated sum if you jump bail or fail to present yourself whenever you are needed for your trial. You don't pay unless you jump bail.

Abagworo:
This proves that PDP is behind protest against the reconsyruction of Douglas Road. This is the best time for Okorocha to move in demolish the market and reconstruct the road. I'm sure the court injuction was gotten through corruption. As for this blog and others I advice you to thread with caution as it is not on any record that Okorocha said he left the refuse to punish anyone. If you get arrested for this you will call it tyranny but why not write the truth.

Where on earth does one get arrested for writing falsehood against another if not only in Nigeria? Is that the law? Haven't you heard of civil remedy of libel suit? It's only in Nigeria that a creditor instigates the police to arrest his debtor in order to recover the debt...an you are here lending support and trying to justify.

ANENEANDASSOC:


Deed of assignment is mere paper not backed by law .But Power of attorney is a legal document transferring ownership of property from one party to another. it is signed,sealed and stamped and entered .It is very essential when processing your certificate of occupancy moreover i hope you have checked with AGIS and FCDA the authenticity of such land that you purchased. ..If you need enlightenment contact me on whatsapp 08024808190. m an estate surveyor and valuer.

I guess you are not a lawyer. Legally, you buy and sell a land through Deed while Power of Attorney is a mere instrument of donation...not used in selling land but Nigerians have abused it and most times substituted Deed with POA... Mmadukolu v. Nkemdilim (Supreme Court). I can't write more... Do both Deed and POA.I'm in church

@op why do you wanna stoke ethnic bigotry? Aisha herself said she was of southern origin...never did she say she was Igbo...why then did you insert "she was reportedly of Igbo origin" without evidence? You said she converted from Christianity but same Aisha said that Mohammed Yusuf nearly married her sister, Amina. So do you wanna tell me she converted alongside her sister or all her family members? Have you forgotten or you just wanna play blind to the fact that half of the yorubas are Muslims and also bear the names Aisha and Amina? It is folks like you that are hell bent on destroying Nigeria with the rate you guys are going
