Remove subsidy and create more money to embezzle. We will survive. Yes, we will will survive. You and I will survive but the poor will bear the brunt. It doesn't take any courage to do something that doesn't have any personal effects on you but the poor citizens bearing the brunt of your rash decision without putting any palliative measures. A few months would have been enough to put things in order. And make sure the increment doesn't go beyond a certain amount

Do you consider vocational school as a good route to migrate to Finland? I'm thinking of learning the language then, apply to vocational schools since their tution is free. Hopefully I get to switch from study visa to work visa after a year.

Learning Finnish? One only needs to be good in Finnish before being considered for admission? How good does one need to be in the language to be considered for admission or for one to be able to follow along with the lectures?

I'm not trying to discourage you but I've been learning Greek for two years and still struggling despite spending a lot of time in Cyprus. Though my Cypriots friends prefer to communicate in English but the months I've spent their should have contributed a lot in improving my language skills.

Is okay oil producing area now?

Yes, don't mind the old fool - that's if he actually said that

Ika is not an oil producing area? Is Abavo, Agbor and Owa not part of Ika? Or this old man is high on cheap saw dust?

Isn't the answer obvious? Really?
What water do the Amazonians drink? Can you drink them?

What water do the rural riverine Ijaws that live in the ocean drink? Can you drink them? I won't say more than this but the answer is obvious

pocohantas:
I sometimes see our favourite Batch 22, Stream 2021 UK japarians talk about how it was a culture shock for them to see people in UK drinking tap water...

Awww,rich kid!!!

Most Europeans don't drink tap water. I've seen it discussed in numerous forums and in countries I've visited, it's always bottled water

Are you dependent on men's gift? You sound like you depend on men for a living

This book is too contradictory and confusing so that whichever one of two opposite predictions that occurs will be credited to it.

They don't give a fvck about Nigerians but if they're capable of sending the lifeless and brainless one back to daura , what are they waiting for?

This is completely bull crap. This is like the most inaccurate stats I've ever seen in my life

Naughtysite:
Has Jim engaged in philanthropy before now tell us maybe we have not heard

Jim is a philanthropist while Elumelu is running a foundation to advance his foreign influence. Where's the tangible project or whatever he's executed. In term of philanthropy, Jim Ovia is a bigger philanthropist. In terms of greatness, on what basis is Elumelu greater than Jim? Nb: they're both from my senatorial district and same ethnicity as me.

You're all jokers. Why should an African even take guidance from the Jewish mythical books which coincidence serves as their book of law? Does Africans not have our perculiar ways of f life before slavery and colonialism?

Proud Agbor son. We're proud of you.

Tony Elumelu we know, who is this one ?

Achieve something for Humanity before writing a book.

Tell me you're joking.

Who write this thing? Na waoo. The thing fit make person run mad before you finish am

Brainwashed senseless African christians

What sort of nonsense journalism is this.

PDP must die in Delta state

19yrs of pdp misrule in Delta has only left the oil rich state in ruins.

Edo and Delta were trotting along side by side in retrogression, but ever since Edo took the bold step and sacked the PDP they are better off for it now.
Development cannot see the light of the day with PDP in power.

This is the best ever opportunity for the great Ogboru and the APC to clinch power from that evil party

Edo better than delta? Wetin you smoke?

Where is there no iFeature theme on word press search theme?

what's it about?

All the 100 Naira notes are 2014 that's one of the major reasons they're always dirty and torn. But I think the quality is poor as well. It's like a ceremonial currency I think.

Igboid:
Are you OK at all?

Yorubas in America were late arrivals there.
They came there at a time the slave masters were no longer strict on stripping the slaves off there tribal identities, including language.
Many blacks in Americas who lost their African languages and culture, due to the initial strict detribalization policy of the slave masters, now looked to connect back to Africa by adopting the African culture of the newly arrived Yorubas who were fresh from Africa.

The problem with you Ika, Ikwerre, and other confused Igbo but non Igbo groups out there, is that you all are like a drowning man, you would hold unto any thing, no matter how weak it is, just to maintain your irrational and delusional inferiority complex induced, identity crisis stories.


The Ika were not separated by the Atlantic from Biniland, like the Igbo slaves in Americas were from Igboland, the Ikas were at no point forced by an invading or colonial Igbo authority to change their Bini language to Igbo, like the Igbo slaves were forcefully deigbonized by the slave masters, who feared that the Slaves if allowed to retain their tribal languages, identities and solidarity, might unite and revolt against them.
On the contrary, Bini/Edoland is completely contagious with Ikaland, no sea or Great river separates Bini from Ikaland, Bini were an imperial force who continually maintained close relationship with Ika.

There is no rational way of explaining away, how a Bini loving Ika people, dumped Bini language, for Igbo language, a language of a people they don't revel or want to be part of.

Until the day you drop this current Igboid language you speak, and choose an Edoid one, like Oza nogogo people do, the joke would always be on you, and we will always be here to press it home.

You guys don't disappoint. Late arrivals? How? What's the timeline of the Yoruba slave trades and the bight of biafra? Slavery started in yorubaland from 14th century. When did slave trade start in Igboland? As usual, you will delusionally concoct some irrelevant excuses and play down any scenario for Ika. You are the one drowning. You exhibted all my predicted scenarios. I know you guys too well.

Igboid:
Trash as usual.

The high number of Igbos in Nsukka is yet to convert Igala neighbors to Igbo speaking.
The high number of Igbos in Ndoki is yet to convert Eleme and Tai Ogoni people to Igbo speaking.
But somehow, the Igbos in Enu ani communities influenced Bini people in Ika, who are a kilometer away from Bini and who are in love with Bini culture, ancestry and ways, into dumping their Bini language for Igbo language.

Anakogheli.

straight line thinkers as usual. Igbo's have a high numbers of slaves in the Americas but Yoruba language and culture managed to survive in majority of the Americas. I know you will have one silly excuse for this but dismiss any excuse for Ika and EDO language. And how dumb you are, you'll not see any relationship between the two instances.

odigbosky:
so i have been following your comments on this thread and i like it. Kudos to you. I am an Edo from the Esan stock. Regarding your question i think there is really something the ancient Benins have with Agbor. First they call it agbon meaning land or earth as you said. I read a historical work written by Ekhaguosa Aisien, he is one of the best Edo historian alive. He wrote about the life of Oba Ewuare I and his links to lots of places in present day ika land including his brief stay at Issele Ukwu from where the Onicha kingdom actually came from. Regarding agbor, he talked about a tale which benin chief priest of a certain diety confirmed to him that it was in agbor that the first Europeans landed before they retraced their steps to Benin. He said they came in through the river ethiope. The Benins feel they owned agbor and the names of many places in agbor is a substantial fact to that. Now coming to my own part, i believe migration was in two ways...i only recently got to know that my ancestors came from agbor. i was shocked when the people in my village said so...today we are in Esan west local government close to ekpoma. So you see, people were moving in and out of ika land because i feel the language barrier was very thin then. Places like Ubulu Ukwu and Adesuwa are found in our folklores. Do you know that most of the ika lands are close to the ohrionmwon territories which fall into the defunct Ugu kingdom. I don't know if you consider Obiarukuwu to be ika land but its just about 30 minutes from Evboesi a staunch Benin village and there are so many pple from both sides living together. I heard that when the British came, Benin chiefs told them that Agbor belonged to the Oba.
Concerning who first settled in these ika lands, a historian said that the Oba of Benin established dukedoms like Issele ukwu to serve as an outpost to monitor the influx of strange people from the other side of the great river...so if i go by that narrative, we had lots of Igbos crossing the niger and settling in these lands west of the niger. They met those at the outpost who probably became the word of the Oba and hence became kings loyal to the Oba of Benin hence their style of monarchy in most ika lands. Later on, many Benin natives also moved to these areas to join the igbos who had already dominated these land linguistically due to the fact that these lands as an outpost contained mainly soldiers who weren't even large in numbers.
Whatever the case maybe....migration was in two ways as my own family is an example. So regarding the issue of pro benin ika groups coming back to Edo state, what would my fate be...it would be the same right. I don't feel like am from Agbor at all, i don't know anyone there, being esan and Edo is all i have known in my life and i feel my home is right here in Edo state. So it is about those benins in Ika land. it is their home and that's where they will always be...they can always identify with Benin as their source just as i just told you mine came from agbor....
I hope i replied you in a way that would create a room for intellectual discuss and i do not mean to insult you or your kinsmen in anyway with this post. if i have done in anyway unknowingly i ask to be pardoned.

Any sensible human being claiming to be knowledgeable about Ika should know this. And the places with very high mixture of EDO and Igbo is the Aniocha Oshimili axis. The very high number of Igbo's there influenced the Ika's. And Isele Uku is not an Ika land.

Ofodirinwa:
LOL Ishi agwuli in my village is 'The meeting has ended'. Stop this nonsense

shut up guy. You people are becoming a laughing stock. Isheguari and ishi agwuli are entirely two different things. What's the problem with you guys?

Fulaman198:
Reading comprehension appears to be something you lack, am I right? Let me reiterate what I said for the 'nth' time.

I oppose murder, it's never an excusable act, however most murders if you run a human psychoanalysis, is a result of cause or effect. Meaning that something terrible has to occur before someone retaliates. Whether it's murder of Fulani herdsmen or their livestock (yeah a lot of this happens, but since our media is controlled by Southerners in some parts of the country, the news is often distorted). The news in different parts of the country paints a different picture, that is why only a simpleton would only believe one source.

Point being is that if you are not there, do not comment on something you do not know about. It depicts a naive and bigoted character on your behalf.

Also, this entire thread, you have displayed a very rotten and evil character of religious and ethnic bigotry. I don't know how you are in real life, but one can assume the way people are online who they truly are as they can hide behind a computer, VB smartphone or tablet.

You are an evil bigot to assume that because "in every murder, there must be causes and effects " hence Fulani herdsmen were attacked first. Your nepotism and bigotry has blinded you that you don't try to reason and think clearly about the scenario. In the cases of Fulani massacres, who's always the aggressor? What could have the helpless farmers possibly done to provoke the farmers first? Check the scenario. Someone is in his farm, you take your cattles to his farm and destroy everything. And fortunately, he caught you destroying his farm and had a hot exchange of words with you because he couldn't have possibly attacked armed herdsmen. The next thing is to murder him and any other person you see in the vicinity. Sometimes, there's no even any altercation before they murder people. Even if your brain is screwed upside down, why can't you try and borrow some sense? Fulani herdsmen are the aggressors and attackers, but assuming everybody attack them, don't your brain tell you they must be doing something real evil? Ain't you seeing the news of people's farms getting damaged? Not talking about the murders now. Olu False's, Wole Soyinka's and so many other people's? Are you special kind of stupid to be supporting planned extermination and ethnic cleansing? OK. I'm not surprised. You're Fulani

After the Fulani association used Taraba as an instance, this happened same day. Taraba get ready for more attacks

Fulaman198:
You are nothing more than a bigot. You talk about being saved, do yourself a favour. When you wake up each day, ask yourself, are you genuinely/sincerely a good person/human being. Once you do that, we can continue with this discussion. All you have been doing thus far is dodging and avoiding key points.

If this conversation is way above your head in regards to reading comprehension, perhaps you should move along. Stop wasting peoples' time on here. Get it?

arguing with you is a waste of time. You are trying to justify the massacring and extermination being carried out by Fulanis against Nigerian Christian. You come to someone's land, went to his farm and destroy his farm, when he talks, you kill him in his farm or plan an invasion in his community and kill tens, hundreds or thousands. Is there any justifying this? Who invited them to people's villages in the first place?

Fulaman198:
If you were not so biased, you would realize that there is always a cause and effect. No one attacks another person (most of the time) without having a justified reason.

You being Christian, you are more than likely biased against Fulani people and thus are seeing things through a very tainted scope. Put yourself in the shoes of someone else for once in your life.

If someone went about stealing your possessions, your money, your clothing, your means of life and only source of income, how would you respond? It's human nature to want to defend ones' belongings. Now if you tell me otherwise, I would simply say that you are a f00l.

I was not there, so I can't tell you with absolute certainty about who/whom instigated it, however do not treat these "Christian" Farmers like saints.

I'm not surprised at your response. You just justified my earlier comment.
