cocolacec: Why swear for the op,i think that is unfair.He only stated his opinion.If the biafrans work hard for their nation you can achieve it with the help of allies, if you leave out Niger delta.Yorubas, hausas and Niger Delta are not the problem of the Ibos. British Govt will not want their company(Nigeria) to disintegrate so other departments (Yorubaland and Niger delta) dont seek succession too.The Op is neither the FG nor British Govt or her agent. We are all victims of the British colonialist which merged us together for their selfish interest.
Igbos and Yorubas are also Niger Delta . Op should tell us his tribe which does not want be part Biafra and stop hiding under Niger Delta. I AM Igbo and a Niger Deltana too
Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.
Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.
However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.
This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.
This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.
Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.
But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra
Is there anything like Niger Delta during that time? Do you know how many states that are in your so called Niger Delta now? What is your tribe ? stop hiding under Niger Delta because some Igbo states are part of it.
iamyemiakins: SEVEN THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO WHEN MEETING YOUR PARTNER'S PARENTS FOR THE FIRST TIME.
This is a major step in a relationship, so the first impression can be a lasting impression, believe me when I say that.
1. PLAYING WITH YOUR PHONE
Avoid being on your phone, texting, checking your mail, facebooking or chatting. Sometimes most of us do it unknowingly. It is true some chicks do that just to keep themselves busy, but your spouse parents might feel dismissed and think you are not interested in getting to know them, especially, So avoid your phone at that first time.
2. LIE TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GOOD
Being fake instead of who you truly are is a mistake that can upset your partner's parents, and even your partner. Remember, they may get to know who you are later or in your absence, and it could really hurt your relationship. If you have told your partner the truth about you and your partner has accepted the kind of person you are, his/her parents should be able to do same. So there is no need of lying to attract their likeness.
3. BRINGING UP A CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION
Please don't bring up a topic like Religion, Politics, or s3x for discussion, even if you know that your believe are in line with your partner's parents. Some people still consider it bad for bringing up such topic for discussion before them. Concentrate on getting to know them more rather than those topics. If they keep discussing such topic among themselves, do more of listening.
4. DON'T GIVE LONG SPEECHES, MAKE YOUR SPEECHES BRIEF
Despite the fact that they are very interested in getting to know you, they also do not want to spend the entire time listening to your life story. Don't tell them stories about how your father divorced your mother when you were a teenager, how your community people burnt a woman to ashes for insulting her hubby, and all that. Make your speeches brief and interesting.
5. PUBLIC DISPLAY AFFECTION
Yes, public display of affection can be wonderful,but there is appropriate time for it. This does not mean you have to become cold, distant and robotic. Feel relaxed, interact with them gently, smile and be friendly, but make it neutral, rather than behaving as if you are desperate to have them as in laws.
6. DON'T FINISH ANY FOOD GIVEN TO YOU
Whether the food is small or plenty, and no matter how delicious it is. Never ask for alcohol if you are asked to make a choice of drink. Don't be carried away. This is very important.
7. DON'T PASS THE NIGHT THERE
No matter the persuation, don't pass the night in their house on your first day of visit.

Cholls: my brother stop acting intelligent in ignorance. Read the write-up.
excerpt:
" The process is usually the same. The robbers break into a house at night or any time of the day. And with guns held to their heads, victims are ordered to furnish their ATM cards as well as disclose their pin numbers, which are then confirmed with a PoS device before the cards are taken away. The robbers then proceed to withdraw as much cash as possible before daybreak when the incident is reported and cash with drawal stopped."
Most of people commenting didn't even read the news. According to the article, their modus operandi are: 1 They use the POS to confirm the atm pin of their victims at gun point. This can be done via checking of balance.
2 They take the card to atm or other road side pos and withdraw.
I think bank technology should be able to find out POS used for confirmation customers pin at gun point then police should take it up from there.
Oghenerobo2002: I'm sorry to say, but u r getting it wrong. U can't just go to heaven because u r a believer. Bible says judgment will start from the house of God, meaning many people who believed will not make it. Believing is not enough, but *working out* ur salvation Phil 2:12. In addition to believing in Christ, u have to keep to his commands. Those are the things that will be used to judge u as a christian
This is the simple truth. Believing alone cannot take you to heaven.Bible said even the devil believed and trembled.My opinion is , first one must believe in Christ as our Lord and personal saviour and live a life of righteousness.
LikeAking: The WHO has predicted with their own human knowledge that 300,000 Africans might die of covid-19("Somebody say God forbid", and its our duty to prove them wrong.They have predicted that Africa will become the next epicenter of covid-19,but their prediction will not be a final judgment, if we play by all the laws enacted for the prevention of the virus.
Please lets stay aleart,obey all the social distancing rules,wash our hand's regularly, etc.We should be very careful at this moment, else?
Covid-19 is a big treat to the African civilization, so it most be treated as our new "satan", becsuse the virus has finally replaced Satan in terms of wickedness/evil.Lets treat this virus the way we have treated the infamous Satan in the past.At the end of all this journey we will surly relegate covid-19 to the bottomless pit of hell.
Valkrie: @Op, your Number one....burying Islam adherent within 24hrs got nothing to do with Islam but the region where Islam originated from..!!
The middleeast is a very hot environment and naturally keeping a corps longer in such zone is not advisable cos it would decompose on time and that by some way find its way into the Islamic believe system but many never knew why it is like that...all they know is since their prophet said it it is from their God and so all must practice it...!! Do some research and see for yourself...!! The enlightened once among The Islamic adherent knows this thing...
I haven't heard such.But why are they still practicing it all over the world.
MZrapper: Kyari is more the like the president, since Bubu is just a figure head. FG stands to a lot.
Mind it isn't about gaining anything it is about the hypocritical and sycophantic nature of northerners, they would prefer a dead man on seat to a Southerner.
How long will presidency hide it?
The truth is that someone just sat and fabricated the story and some Nigerians bought it.
Most times I find it highly unbelievable that some individuals will sit at a corner of their rooms and start dishing out fake news.
It becomes very disturbing when a mere mortal is wishing another mortal dead. We are all going to die. If you think someone is dead today, it may be your turn tomorrow and that is because we have no power over our lives. Death can come naturally, through illnesses or through accidents.
Let me state it here, the fact that someone has Coronavirus does not mean he or she must die. Moreover, people who do not have Coronavirus have died in the past few days, while those who tested positive for COVID-19 are getting better.
It is sad when one person will just come up with fake news that the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari has died. That is too much a wish.
The person who started that rumour was wise enough. The person didn't mention the name of the top government official who she claimed had died in Aso Rock.
But immediately people saw her tweets, they concluded it was Abba Kyari. The reason for that is not farfetched, Abba Kyari tested positive for COVID-19 and there has been lots of rumours about his health condition and whereabouts.
In a blink of an eye, the rumour spread like wildfire as people started sharing it here and there.
However, there are reasons why any discerning individual will know the Chief of Staff is not dead:
1. Islam: In Islam, it is forbidden to delay the burial of of a dead person. When they say someone has been buried according to Islamic rites, what they are telling you is that, Islam does not support keeping a dead body for more than necessary. A corpse must be buried as early as possible; at most, 24 hours after death.
It will be extremely difficult for anybody to delay the burial of a true Muslim. Abba Kyari is a Muslim. There is no burial in his family. The man is alive. Tell fake news writers to stop it!
2. Media Authenticity: Whenever there is a breaking news, it must come from reputable media organisations. It will be very wrong if you rely on information from an individual. The reason is this: media organisations will confirm the authenticity of a claim before reporting it. National dailies like Punch, Vanguard, Tribune, Daily Post, Daily Trust, Independent, Premium Times, Leadership, New Telegraph, This Day, Guardian and others will not publish a story without confirming its authenticity from reliable sources. Don't be surprised, they all have their eyes and ears everywhere. If none of them has reported it, Abba Kyari is still hale and hearty.
3. Statement from Presidency: If truly the Chief of Staff had passed on, I see no reason why the Presidency will hide it from Nigerians. He is not immortal. People who are not as old as he is have died. Why will anybody think the Preidency is hiding the purported death of Kyari? Till when, for how long? If the Presidency does not tell us anybody from their end has died, why are we now spreading unnecessary rumour? Moreover, what will anybody derive from the death of the man? Are you wishing to take over his position?
Ladies and gentlemen, it will be advisable if we can desist from spreading fake news. We even need to unfollow some people on the social media because all they feed us with is fake news.
As human, we must always remember that death is no respecter of any person. It doesn't respect age, sex, class, colour or religion. That's why You see youths dying while the aged are still living.
iLegendd: You're complaining too much. I guess you're a pastor-to-be. Also, you act like a weak man because of the statement, "But I don’t want any issue with her so I accepted it."
Real men want issues while their wives pray for no issues. A relationship where the man does not want issues hardly last. It's more like saying, "I'm afraid of my wife because she is the boss."
I have told men countless times to learn 3 skills, else their marriages or relationships will NEVER last and those skills are
1. How to handle women skill 2. How to make money skill 3. How to manage money skill
You probably have skill 2 and 3, but lack skill 1. They are playing a game and I know the game. Go learn about women and psychology.
When your wife's best friend gets married, your wife will 100% sleep with her friend's husband whether you like it or not. The swinging has already started. They may not even be bisexual or lesbians, but swingers. Though, they exhibited the "bi" attributes.
Modified:
Extra info: I didn't want to say this because it will make you depressed, but I'll reveal it. Your wife is 100% currently sleeping with another man.
That person is probably her ex and he is so great in bed, but as a bad boy, that young man refused to commit, so she dumped him and got married to you before she hits menopause.
She has been cheating with him, but she felt she has betrayed you, so she used her friend to set you up to equalize the cheat.
Now, she no longer feels remorseful. She is so happy the equation is equal. She can now sleep with that young man or those young men day and night without feeling like a LovePeddler or a cheat.
Afterall, she'll say to herself, "I have been with these men and slept with them countless times before I met you. Moreover, you too slept with my friend, so no biggie."
Your wife gained 3 things
1. She is no longer feeling remorseful 2. She is still having the best sex of her life behind your back as she has been having before meeting you 3. If you catch her and accuse her, she will tell you the story of how you first cheated on her with her best friend and paint you as an unfaithful husband
Note: Her best friend has already told her even though they are both acting as if they didn't know what happened. It's all staged. Best friends reveal things to each other they can't even reveal to their parents or spouses. The bond between besties is unexplainable — especially the ones I like to call 'partners-in-crime.'
Women love different sweet dicks and your woman now has the privilege to get as many as she wants without remorse. Why? You did it too and she knows you'll still do it again and again.
She now has the belief that, "For my husband to cheat with my best friend and think I don't know, he can actually cheat with other women, especially his ex, so why shouldn't I cheat with my ex too? After all, if you do me I do you, man no go vex."
Final Tip: Just watch how happier your wife will be nowadays because a huge burden has been lifted off her shoulder. It's just like someone who accidentally killed another woman's child and out of fear, hurriedly buried the child. She will be restless while pretending to be happy — as she silently prays for no one to ever find out. All of a sudden, she woke from sleep and realized it was just a dream.
Do you know how relieved she will feel? That is exactly how your wife is feeling. She believes she can happily fly now like a free bird.
Las las, if yawa gas, she go say na you start am, but truly, she is the one who started the cheating and confided with her partner-in-crime, best friend, to switch the game and make you look like the bad person.
Truly, you are finally the bad person because you weren't man enough to control your marriage and who comes in or how many days a visitor is allowed to stay. That statement you made above is still making me angry. How can a real man say, "But I don’t want any issue with her so I accepted it?"
Conner44: So if a Fulani herdsman decides to ‘legally’ kill 3 Amotekun officers in a stationed hilux he will first sell 5 of his cows and gather the cash for the fine and then carve out one month in his life to flex prison. I’m sure he will pull strings and be out in good time too.
Chai, it’s too poor naw. ONLY N250,000? A MONTH? chai. We all know herdsmen DO NOT MOLEST, they KILL. even if you miraculously survive with cuts and all you’d wish you were dead.
Even a rich herdsman can sponsor them one million to wipe out the Amotekun cats from a particular village.
I really pity the Amotekun cats
whoever decides to join this stuff to collect N13k salary and put a N250,000 or 1 month jail price on his life in a cruel manner is a fool
The bill said anybody that beat...... Not kill. For killing there is already established law that would handle that.
tsdarkside: and who is going to finance all this....??
sorry,but you are forgetting the financial part.... if you say,okay,lets separate men from women in everything,then you have to organise special transport for them....
this law wouldnt make sense....
only thing you can do is to tell men to dont disdurb women.... anything else is foolish and will be very expensive....
sammhi: Telling you , you withhold information is another way of saying you lied . You lied about the amount in your savings account which are truly NOT ALL yours but actually your mum transfer some there for your account to swell ...that's deceit..lies ! Secondly, you should have printed your account as it is and then back it up with the estate account and the other account . ...probably with a letter from your mum that she would fund your trip .... You screwed yourself
you nailed it. I think this should be the reason. I was wondering why she was told that she withheld information. I understand now . He really shot himself ignorantly.
sweerychick: no need of calling that lost soul a bastard. He's clearly showing his natural born traits from his region
I don't really understand this hatred for Igbos. I don't know how this news relate to Igbos. Most yorubas that I have met are kind, friendly and accommodating, but here in Nairaland the reverse is the case. What could be the reason for this?
I think the content of the bill should be made available to the public. This would enable people scrutinize the bill . However, whatever the content would be, I think death sentence is not proper.
Sequel to the recent second reading of the Anti-social Media bill in the senate, Nigerians have taken to the Social Media to express their disapproval of the bill.
The massive outrage has seen lots of influencers and Celebrity posting with hashtags and signing petitions to put an end to the controversial bill.
However, at the center of the conversation has been the controversial Senator representing Adamawa North senatorial district, Elisha Ishaku Abbo who is one of the few legislators who have come out openly to support the bill.
Nevertheless, a Twitter User with handle @VillageParraot on Friday created a thread containing a list of all the senators contacts encouraging people to contact them to show their disapproval of the bill. One of those who seized this opportunity to speak to the Senator representing his constituency was Desmond Stephen from Adamawa North being represented by Senator Elisha Abbo.
Desmond Stephen wrote in an email: “#SayNoToSocialMediaBill You are in Parliament to represent us. You are in parliament to legislate on progressive policies per health, education, infrastructural development and job creation. Not to stifle criticisms.”
“With all due respect your excellency, kindly consider the implications of your actions for supporting the Social Media Bill. I’m worried you are trending on twitter again for the second time, and all for the wrong reasons.”
Elisha Abbo however responded with a mail saying; “Do you have a copy of the bill? Have you read the Social Media Bill? If yes, what clause are you opposing? If you have no copy of the bill and so you didn’t read one, what are you opposing?”
“See my brother, we can’t all be stupid all at once. Those opposing the bill didn’t see it but opposing it because Social Media was mentioned.”
“My other question to you, are you happy with the way Social Media is going unregulated and filled with fake news, slander, fake accounts? If you’re happy can you please organize the “Social Media activists to also scrap BON, or government should regulate the formal media and let the informal media do what they want? Sir, I support the bill to the end.”
equity1: Veteran actor, Pete Edochie isn’t happy at the way Africans are adopting the doctrines and culture of the whites, thereby neglecting our own tradition and culture.
The celebrated actor seriously whitewashed African men who kneel down to propose to their wives to be, all in the name of love. He said by so doing, you’re giving the woman power over you, thereby making her the head of the marriage.
In his words;
“Kneeling to propose to a woman is white people’s culture because women dominate there and have more right than men, it is not the African man’s ways”
He went on to remind us that, in the traditional setting, it is a woman who kneels to give drink to a man to show her loyalty, humility and total submission to the man and that’s the way it should be.
“I didn’t kneel to propose to my wife and we’ve stayed 50years in our marriage, I took my time to woo her, when it’s time to settle down, I asked if she’ll marry me and that was it”, he said.
He went on to give account of how the Whites came to Africa pretending to be archeologists but little did we know they came to destroy our culture and trade us.
