Lagos? Is Lagos even a city in the sense of it?
I have been to more than 50 cities all over the world, Lagos is nothing close to what a city looks like. Lagos is the worst city that I have been to in my life. Useless and hopeless place.
Even cotonou beat Lagos hands down. Not to talk of Accra, Gambia, Dakar, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Seychelles, Cape Verde, Tunis, Algiers, Morocco.
Haba, even in Africa, Lagos is the worst city that exists.
Been to Asia. Hong Kong, shanghai, Tokyo, Taiwan, Seoul. Many many others.

Your name is out there KATHY OBASI..Therefore watch your shadows cos a pestilence lurks around you. Tragically it will not only consume you but your entire clan.

It's really condescending to be engaged in a war of words with a 25 year upstart blogger ( an euphemism for jobless) like you.
The jury is out on you. The very essence of nature works in haste to bring about your sudden demise. You no longer can hide under the guise of an online troll to trespass.
Even in a jungle, the wise still observes the code. Be afraid when you step out in Port Harcourt, your destruction comes in a swift wave. I'm dropping these lines so that the likes of you maybe sufficiently warned. For you it's over. You have one way out though, change your name from Katherine Obasi.

We can deduce the intricacies of an average ibo man's egocentric nature by analysing the words of Chinua Achebe in his book titled " There was a country".
He described the Igbo, who are predominantly Catholic, as
“fearing no god or man", was “custom-made to grasp the opportunities, such as they were, of the white man’s dispensations. And the Igbo did so with both hands.”
This tells that the igbos are a largely disrespectful people. They have no loyalty to God or man. What happened to "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise." Ps 111:10 .
To have no fear of God is to ignore His Word. To have no fear of man is to incur wrath and hate. Remember that fear in this contest is not timidity but reverence.There's a world of difference in between the two. No wonder a man can dare to name a dog after a sitting president..in Africa! No reverence.
Let's delve further into what Achebe had to say about his kinmen.
He criticised them for what he described as “hubris, overweening pride and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or even worse that can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness.”
He added that “contemporary Igbo behavior(that) can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.
Alas, this is all revealing. We shouldn't be further surprised. However, the humanity in all of us should be the victor in this . The Ibo man is innately arrogant. They should learn that nature by law propagates itself by survival of the fittest and until they learn how to strategise effectively in the Nigerian state, the will continue to bear the brunt. Every human is desirous of having the upper hand against his competitor, the one who succeeds is stronger and to be stronger you need a superior way of thinking other than shallow arrogance and pride.
Once more, Achebe's narratives
“Although the Yoruba had a huge historical and geographical head start, the Igbo wiped out their handicap in one fantastic burst of energy in the twenty years between 1930 and 1950.”
What happened thereafter, according to Mr Achebe
“Nigeria’s pathetic attempt to crush these idiosyncrasies rather than celebrate them is one of the fundamental reasons the country has not developed as it should and has emerged as a laughingstock,” he claimed.
He noted that the ousting of prominent Igbos from top offices was a ploy to achieve a simple and crude goal. He said what the Nigerians wanted was to “get the achievers out and replace them with less qualified individuals from the desired ethnic background so as to gain access to the resources of the state.”
This is called SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. Big fish kills smaller fishes.
To the few reasonable ibos ( I know they exist) I say THINK, PLAN, STRATEGISE, then you can change your lot in the Nigerian entity. Refuse to follow the innate pride and shallow pettiness. Think your way to success.

Politics / Re: Attention Buhari: Hunger-induced Crime On The Increase - Vanguard by drbre(m): 12:09pm On Aug 14, 2016
Missonas:

As nauseating as it may seem to you its more saddening that peoples 'ramblings' here are not abstract its the truth. No one is trying to praise the past president but we just dont understand how the economy can be so mismanaged that the country records economy growth in one year and the next with a take over we are in recession:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/07/nigeria-south-africa-largest-economyhttp://www.economist.com/news/
Now the question people are asking is if the growth came by all these debts. We dont understand how that happened.

Also we are more concerned right now about the economy than the debts because we can be able to pay up when the economy booms better than the past govt left it. We hoping that the present govt understands that and work with that.

I dont know about the policies they come up with cos we know its propagada what i know is what i see. Where are the investors? Ok patronise your own who are the people running businesses from within and how have they made them accessible and affordable to us. No cash flow everything is on a lock down. You cannot hoard and keep money and expect it to run itself. You cannnot run a oneman show!

I praise the sincerity and objectivity of your post.

Maybe you didn't read my adjuncts and thus you asked how we were reportedly a growing economy one year and d next, due to a change in government, we were plunged into recession. I will still ask that you read the adjuncts in my post, the answers which u seek are there. Suffice to say, consider this...

'Although stabilization funds exist, the federal government has struggled to replenish them, despite high oil prices."

That's d submission on Jonathan's economic legacy.

If d FG under Jonathan had replenished stabilization funds in a period when there was high oil prices (US$100), the nation would have had somewhat a safety net to revert to presently when there is global recession with oil prices pegged below US$30.

Talking about external debts, isn't it curious that GEJ ( now a hero) kept plunging d nation to external debts?

Do you realise that the debt is being serviced and all this at even a higher cost cos of d recession?

In all of this, the present government remains optimistic that we shall navigate this bend successfully. You may consider listening to Mrs Kemi Adeosun's submissions while disbursing funds to states at the end of July. The non oil sector accounted for over 55 percent of the revenue. This is the change and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I empathise with all citizens, I also feel the brunt of the present reality. Afterall I buy fuel and visit d markets. However, as enlightened minds we should know where the blame really is and not be blinded by sentiments.

Reading comments on this forum could be very nauseating. Where did we get it wrong as a people?
The bandwagon praising Jonathan and heaping all sorts of abuse on Buhari.
It's crystal clear that most of you need an education. And if the calibre of people here are the supposed leaders of tomorrow, then Nigeria is doomed.
I need all of you on the GEJ bandwagon to point out two things.

1.What was the policy direction of GEJ which is worthy of commendation?

2. What is the policy direction of Buhari that is responsible for the economic recession?

If you can't provide a logical analysis, please shut your mouth up, going forward.

One thing which your biased mind can't appreciate is the fact that GEJ is largely responsible for the mess we are in.

Read up
Public debt: Public debt stock is much higher than at any time since the Paris Club debt exit of 2006. In 2007, total public debt fell to N2.678 trillion ($3.56billion external debt from $36b, and N2.2trillion domestic debt). But as of end 2013, public debt has increased by more than 300 percent to N8.423trillion ($8.2b external, and N7.1 trillion domestic). (Figure 3).
If AMCON debt and other agencies are included, the total debt burden is now over N10 trillion. By end of 2014, Nigeria’s total debt should easily approach over $100b, most of which were accumulated in the past 6 years. Given the well-established negative correlation of debt and economic growth, how has growth been so strong?


Foreign reserves: Nigeria’s foreign reserves have followed a pattern similar to the other indicators since the beginning of civilian rule. In the Obasanjo and Yar’Adua periods, reserves high enough to finance, on average over 7 and 10 months of imports respectively. However, in the six years of President Jonathan, it has declined to about 6.3 months of imports. (Figure 4). When compared with other oil exporting African countries, in the first two periods, Nigeria’s foreign reserve accumulation was stronger than those of other countries. However, in the recent period, Nigeria is just about catching up with others. Although stabilization funds exist, the federal government has struggled to replenish them, despite high oil prices.


This is how Jonathan bequeathed a failed economy. Counter the argument with facts and not irresponsible comments.

My heart goes out to you, brother.

Let us agree on the following. I assume you are a Christian and as such your marriage is a Christian marriage. If so, u will find the following useful :

1. You are married.
2. Your wife has been in contact with someone whose relationship with her predates your marriage. (They must have been seeing each other for her to have his phone number cos mobile phones was introduced around 2000 or so). That means there has been a breach of trust.
3. You have to prayerfully weigh the options. What's more important in your marriage.
4. The devil attacks marriages cos through that he can destroy families, society, nations and ultimately the world.
5. However, you have to make a decision on what's important tpo you and your family. I never supported divorce..but read Kenneth the Haggin's Marriage ,Divorce, and Remarriage for a Christian perspective on divorce. Also, STUDY 1st Cor. 7. Apt in this matter is 1st Cor 7:14.

6. Pray about it and the Lord shall grant you peace. Remember,major on the major things.

Shalom

Politics / Re: Amaechi Spent N82million To Host Prof Soyinka To A Dinner - Rivers State by drbre(m): 4:50am On Jan 06, 2016
metroparrot:
Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dr. Austin- Tam George, has expressed shock that former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi expended N82million to host Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka to a 3 hour dinner at a period he refused to pay salaries .




Addressing Government House, Port Harcourt correspondents on Tuesday, Dr Tam George said that the figures were contained in the hand over note prepared by the former Permanent Secretary of the State Ministry of Information and Communication under the Amaechi administration.


He said : "A government that did not pay salaries, closed the courts , but the administration had the courage to expend N82million to fund a dinner for Prof Wole Soyinka.

"These are facts on ground. The Amaechi administration expended the money under the heading of borrowed funds."


The Information Commissioner : “ There is a massive propaganda machine out there misinforming the people about the policy direction of Governor Wike’s administration. They have to respect the will of the people. Instead, they go about spreading falsehood against the people of the state ".


He charged the news men to emphasize the developmental achievements of Governor Wike with facts because Rivers State is currently dealing with a “ disastrous legacy of abandoned projects” by the Rotimi Amaechi’s administration.



Dr. George who noted that the Wike administration is currently facing a combination of “ 85% information war” and “ political fundamentalism” also said the APC seeking to establish a “ political caliphate” in Rivers State, by installing Dr. Dakuku whose is a fake political candidate of the APC.


The Commissioner also described those who said Wike’ s government is serving only Ikwerre interests as talking “ anthropological nonsense” because he is running an all- inclusive of government of indigenes from the 23 LGAs of Rivers State.

RHEMAA:
Good morning nairalanders. I won't say I am new on this forum, but I have been a keen observer of things as a guest. now to the issue.

I have a fiancee who we have been together for 3years now. She is a final year student of a polytechnic in Nigeria while I am also an undergraduate of a university. we don't see for months unless there is a holiday like this current yuletide break.
things have been going very well until she had a particular experience that is currently threatening the stability of our relationship. Some months ago, she was ambushed by a group of cultists on her way back from her friend's house (by 9:25pm), They dragged her forcefully to the thick bush where they hold their meetings and remove everything called clothes on her body. in the course of the forceful drag, she sustained bruises and some Injuries that left scars on her skin up till now. According to her, she was begging them to spare her life and let her go. They gave deaf ears to her profuse pleas and tried to take turns and rape her.
Luckily for her, she was on her period and that discouraged them. even at that, she said one of the cultist insisted he was going to have sex with her whether she is bleeding or not (as blood could be seen dripping down her thighs). In tears, she continued begging. The group leader then pierced her palm with a sharp object and sucked the blood that dripped out from the cut, he told her never to tell anyone what had happened in school else she will die. they took her undies and only gave her the gown to wear. In the deep of night, she walked home alone in tears and shiver from the bush path. she wasn't raped because she was on her period.


Now, the problem is, we met this break period and I tried to touched her. (not an attempt at sex. she is a virgin, we haven't had sex since we started dating) I tried to kiss her, but she started shivering, I held her close but she was so insensitive. I asked her what the problem was, she said as I held her, her memory went back to that experience she had and that she doesn't feel anything.

Please, this has been going on for sometime now, how do I help her? she says anytime I try to kiss her, the memory plays in her head and she goes cold. I love her so much. help me.

HELP!! Truckpusher, Decker, vixkiz, MrbrownJ, Brackett, Laveda, .. everyone, please help!

thisisayus:
Lemme explain to those who don't know.
Accord was signed during the tension that was before the war.
It was agreed that Nigeria should run a confederal system of govt and the central(gowon) shld be weak. Just like tanzayaki and Zanzibar (Now Tanzania) and Senegal, Swaziland and Gambia (defunct senegambia) . Gowon agreed to the accord but on getting to Nigeria where he narrated the content to Awo(special adviser and minister of finance) who now advised him now to honor the accord and gowon accepted Awo's advices (reason why igbos hate Awo).
It was after then Naira and kobo, right and drive was changed to left hand, 12states was created just to weaken ojukwu's secession's plan. But it angered him and war broke out.

Your write up is half baked and in some instances, outright falsehood. An example is the change of currency which was done on 1st Jan 1973..after the war. The Aburi Accord which you refer to has the following resolution

"Members agree that the
legislative and executive authority
of the Federal Military Government
should remain in the Supreme
Military Council, to which any
decision affecting the whole country
shall be referred for determination
provided that where it is possible
for a meeting to be held the matter
requiring determination must be
referred to military governors for
their comment and concurrence.
Specifically, the council agreed
that appointments to senior ranks
in the police, diplomatic, and
consular services as well as
appointment to superscale posts in
the federal civil service and the
equivalent posts in the statutory
corporation must be approved by
the Supreme Military Council.
The regional members felt that all
the decrees passed since January 15,
1966, and which detracted from
previous powers and positions of
regional governments, should be
repealed if mutual confidence is to
be restored. [4]"

REASON FOR BREAKDOWN



In response to the accord, the federal government
promulgated Decree No. 8, which was mainly an
embodiment of the accord. The accord finally broke
down because of differences of interpretation on both
sides. This led to the outbreak of Nigerian Civil War.

Romance / Re: Going Through Your Partner's Phone..right Or Wrong? by drbre(m): 7:26am On Dec 17, 2015
Going through your partners phone, in my opinion is amoral.its neither right nor wrong. Its d motive with which its done that judtes it right or wrong.
I feel compelled to share my story, it mite save someone from a bad relationship.
As a young teenager, going through my dad's files and my mom's wardrobe was my pastime. I discovered a lot of family history that i mite never have been told through the habit.
When i started having girlfriends, before the days of mobile phones, i usually would checm their bags and purses, not looking for anything,just fiddling.

Lately, i had a relationship for more than 2 years, and you can guess that my habit continued and i would check fones.
I had grounds not to trust her.

Our first disagreement was because i noticed she didn't av any of my pics on her fones. I had countless of hers on all my devices. Stories of network failure would come up if i use her pic as dp and ask dat she uses mine.

she self confessed to a dirty past with countless men. That was heart breaking.

There was dis colleague (she's a colleague too) that would send romantic messages to her and she claimed there was nothing between them. It turned out she's been screwing him. She later self confessed of the deed which happened when i was out of town and we had a slight disagreement. I forgave her.

She got pregnant and aborted it against my wish.

Later, we broke up cos i felt the relationship was heading nowhere..she's ibo, am yoruba...she won't introduce me to her people or come for my family functions..a indices of a serious relationship were lacking except sex.

after 4 months we made up. I told her i was seeing someone else who did not reside in our cityscapes (with whom i have immediately started having marriage plans...had met the family and all), she said she didn't mind. I asked if she was seeing someone and she said no. I travelled and disengaged with the other lady.

The relationship seemed back on track until after abt 3 weeks. I had noticed a flirtatious gesture between her and a newly recruited guy at work who by all standards cannot be a threat to me. I told her of my observation and she denied any possibility, d guy is just being a friend.

Days later, she forgot one of her fones at work and asked me to hell her pick it up. I did and opened d fone cos i knew her password. Actually, she is said i shd switch off d fone but i didn't, acting on instincts.

I was just checking call logs, pics and all. And so i stumbled on a picture of her and d guy she denied together, in an undeniable posture. I put it to her and who can deny a picture ?

Needless to say that was the end of the relationship. She went public with the guy claiming she didn't cheat on me cos we broke up. It turned out she's met guy before his recruitment, before we broke up. Guy was sacked. End of story.

Moral Lesson : If i didn't av an evidence frkm her fone, she would have kept on srewing me along guy, and probably many others.

If two partners are meant to become one, then there's nothing to hide from each other.

Jacide:
All hail Fayose. The only Yoruba man that doesn't shit in his pant and wiggle his tail at the mention of their fulani slave masters. The only Yoruba politician that is greater than Awolowo.

Happy birthday Temitemi's role model cool

Your ilks need to be educated. Decorum and comportment is a necessity in public space. The administrators of this site should take urgent steps to address this else this laudable forum is reduced to rubbles by the basest of myopic idiots.

Amen and Amen . And may your life be like Jonathan's Nigeria.
