OP, from your post, it is evident that it is not only Anambra indigenes who can't stand the sight and behaviour of abakaliki people. Even wawa people of enugu state whom Anambra indigenes see as lower beings, in turn see abakaliki people as lower than them! That is enough to tell abakaliki people that something is wrong with them and they have to reappraise themselves and measure up.

What a pile of bullocky tripe..smh

Epitome of self-hate and chest beating..who the heck are you to apportion a certain people "lower beings"..gosh I'm so freaking riled...

And when a fellow black South African thinks you a scourge and a nobody, not to talk of the whites you'd scream racism or blue murder...

You guys really need to grow up and realize the times we live in at present.

There's more to life than I get money pass that one or I go school pass this one.

From all permutations possible, it seems we'll be coming back home after this group phase.

Lets assume Argentina shares the spoil with Croatia, while Nigeria gets one over the Icelanders. That'll leave Croatia with 4 pts
Nigeria 3pts
Argentina 2pts
Iceland 1pt

All before going into the final group games of Nig vs Arg and Cro vs Iceland.

Lets hope Argentina defeats Croatia and Nigeria defeats Iceland. The table will look thus:

Argentina 4pts
Croatia 3pts
Nigeria 3pts
Iceland 1 pt

The number of goals we score against Iceland to win, will be the determinant factor in our table ranking.If we should fail to get a +3 goal difference in a win against the Icelanders, Croatia will still top us on the group with a better goal difference or head to head going into the final group game.

This is just based on the best case scenario and hoping the boys step up to the plate and pull a huge stunt. But judging from their outing against the Croats, I doubt they'd deliver. Never say never in football though, so lets keep hope alive.

If the Icelanders hold us to a draw, its game over, except Argentina loses to Croatia, and also gets walloped by us while hoping the Croats will hold the Icelanders to a draw at the least.

My personal permutation and analysis oo..wishing the boys well..

these things happen in the UK too, there have been instances where as much as a million pounds wasn't paid to a winner because of certain reasons and he had his stake returned to him. it's painful but it you read their terms and conditions properly you'll probably see where a similar thing has been said. these companies know these things that's why they make their terms extremely long and put the vital points in between very long texts. when u bring up a case against them they'll point you straight to where it was written in their terms before you clicked on "I AGREE"

I m posting here cos I guess I need some advice. I m in a major financial hurdle at the moment. I had an unfortunate incident which is in the process of copping me up of over $10,000(ten thousand dollars) and potentially higher. I now find myself thinking sleeping and dreaming of this debt that will be hanging on me. I sometimes think I m not man enough cos I look at those making big financial decisions daily in their companies and ask myself if I cant bear this debt, will I be able to handle something bigger. I m someone who likes to avoid anything which will make me loose money, and guard the little I make because deep down, I find every dollar I make as a lucky dollar I may not see tomorrow.

This is my personal pseudo-diary. I am someone who is averse to responsibilities, its why I cant bear the thoughts of kids if I don't have a stable career. I would normally save money in a certain safe account where I would think that if life goes sour, I can fall back to it in due time and "run away", however, I am now potentially faced with an unexpected debt. The thought is killing me badly. I ve not even been able to go out, just feeling depressed about these things. I m imagining my future and all, and how I am going to come out of these debts.

Today, I was thinking about my granddad who went through the civil war with over 8 kids, lost everything, and still rebuilt from scratch. Wish I could sit with him now to advise me how he did it. I know there are tough people here on nairaland, people who have gone through situations or currently living through "crazy" situations yet not being fussed. How do you do it?. How do you wake up everyday living and planning life when a situation is about to mess with you. Right now, I am not motivated to do anything till I know the full extent of the debts and related associated problems I may face.

I would like to think of myself as a free spirit who hates been tied. I will never do something if I felt tied up. Its why I will rather have $20000 in the bank and no "life" to having just $200, living life and waiting for the next paycheck cos I have a job. I always want to believe I can do anything I want to do.
Guys, pls share how you deal with life's challenges. I know some of you have these situations as well as other extended family/ relationship/business problems. I just need some advise

Dear friend and brother, most times a life without major set backs is an incomplete one. You were never promised the absence of setbacks, trials and tribulations, the promise as I understand it was that they'd surely come, but consuming you they will not, only on one condition-that is if you'd refuse vehemently to allow yourself get sucked in and consumed by your down time.

My dear brother, have you ever been to a metal smeltering factory, or witnessed a raw gold in its virgin form and the process of fiery furnacing it goes through before coming out as what we all admire today and want to give an arm and a leg to own one?

I don't know how old you are or how much of the life you have experienced, not like age is a determinant factor, but I'm led to tell you today that the way you suppose you know to live life or try to absorb or cushion yourself from what you really lack any control over is wholesomely skewed.

In life our experiences, set backs, trials and tribulations might come in different forms or degrees, but their impacts often times remain same.

You might want to believe in your own little smartness and as such think you could guard yourself against the unforeseen..emphasis on the word unforeseen. Now tell me how do you guard or protect yourself against the unknown or that which you lack any control over.

This my friend is what life is. If it'destined for you to meet these setbacks to enable you reach your destined eldorado, trust me you can't get one over life by cutting corners. The only secret I can share with you is not to stay seated or bent over on the floor whenever it happens. Simply pick up yourself, learn the lesson life threw at you with the set back and get going not minding the mockers or nay sayers because they sure will abound while on this journey.

Now brother I'm going to tell you a tad about me and my story I'm not always proud to share, I only do to encourage and teach folks like you.

At 24, I happened on some easy money, though by crooked means. Having grown up around heavy duty machineries and fancied them I always saw myself owning machineries or trucks. When the money reached me, I took myself to a major truck dealer on the German/Holland border with the money carefully tucked away in between my third leg. Upon arriving the dealership, almost everyone ignored and looked down on me. Of course I was some young black African most likely a refugee they had thought. Realizing no one would attend to me, I requested to see the owner and I was shown his office. I told him I want to buy trucks he thought I was crazy, I told him I was serious and reached in between my third leg and brought out the envelope containing the wad of 500 Euro bills. He immediately got up and asked me along to the yard where the trucks were lined up. I pointed the first, second up until the fifth and told him I loved those. He named his prices after a little haggle we reached an agreement and I paid him. He gave me the shippers numbers, I called negotiated and settled on the shipping cost, gave him the money for shipping and asked they deliver to the shippers. Before long I'd gotten two more to the fleet, they got engaged with the Delta state DLA under Ibori's regime. My trucks were amongst the trucks that built up most parts of Asaba to what it is today.

I don tire will continue..keep strong no fear life or anybody..nothing dey happen. If person threaten you say e go kill you, tell am say no wahala at least you go senior am for anywhere wey dead people dey go so you dey wait for am...
Thats how I roll bro..no time to check time..Jah bless

A 43-year-old Nigerian man, Remigius Duru Okonkwo was brought before Phnom Penh court, Cambodia on June 17, for defrauding a Vietnamese businesswoman of $356,000 USD.

According to the victim identified as Darg Mai Nga, on January 2018, she met the suspect via social media. On January 10, the suspect went to Hanoi to meet the victim, and convinced her to invest in a brick-making factory in Cambodia.

The suspect took the victim to visit Cambodia to see the the factory site, and told her that it belonged to his friend. The victim believed his story and she decided to invest in the business.

Nigerian man arrested in Cambodia for scamming Vietnamese businesswoman out of $356,000

The victim subsequently transferred money 5 times to a bank account, sending US$ 356,000 in total.

After receiving all the money, the suspect turned off his phone so the victim was unable to contact him for a while.

On June 15, the suspect called the victim, and told her that the factory was nearly completed, but he needed her to invest another US$150,000.

After that, the victim didn't believe the suspect anymore, so she made an appointment to meet in Cambodia again, and called the police, who arrested the suspect when he came to meet her.

3 African Tips For Starting Small & Growing Big In Your Business & Career

By Johnspeak Uwangue (Human Development Consultant, Talent Manager & Coach)

When I see people blame lack of finance as the reason why they haven't started their business idea or taken their career to the next level I just can't help but laugh. Money is very important but money is not the most important thing. At the early stage of my coaching and training career, I needed to take my dream to the public. I had focused so much on social media to the extent of opening every social media accounts I could think about. Everyday, I would post tips and strategies on my social media accounts but I never got responses. I needed to do something big, I needed a better platform with a better ROI. The thought of going on radio struck me, while processing my new idea I was faced with a challenge that most Nigerian entrepreneurs faces, money. After doing my feasibility studies I discovered that I needed about a million naira to pay for radio slots. I had visited all the private radio stations in my state and had gotten their prices. As I was about to drop the idea a thought of writing a business proposal to the state owned radio station struck me (even though I felt that the state owned was less listened to).

To shorten the story, I ended up getting a free air slot for a whole year from the state owned radio station and that opened up my career. Hosting a radio program gave me speaking invitations and coaching clients that I never had. My plan was to air my programme on the best radio program in Benin which happened to be a newly established privately owned media house but I had to start somewhere even though that wasn't what I wanted.
Today, I want to share with you just three tips that can help you to start small and grow big in your business and career.

- Start With What You Can Offer
Every department in a business or career will always increase the cost of running the business. Some people make the mistake of trying to do what they are not licensed, equipped or trained to do at the moment and these will surely increase your cost. Because you have an idea in it doesn't mean you should add it to what you offer.

- Start From Where You Are
I once met someone who according to him was saving up money to get a nice office in lekki,Lagos. I was stunned because he kept begging people to assist him to be able to pay for his lekki office. You don't need to start from the top, you can start your business or career from your father's house.

- Start With What You Have
I have never and will never advice any of my clients to start their business or career with a loan no matter how trained you think you are. Start with the little you have and watch yourself grow. If it is N20,000 naira you have, start with it. What you have in your hand is the best seed you need to start your business with.

Succeed You Must

Hey Johnspeak, it's your brother here....check out my signature.....

Rest on pretty one...your race is over, your killers your burden and pain to bear.

Wonderful, apt and spot on. Couldn't have forgotten all that transpired as accurately reeled out by the writer. Proud to have been a witness to this part of Nigeria's history.

I still believe the hilltop mansion one was responsible for Abiola's death, through his brother, whom he made sure took over the reigns upon Abacha's death.

One could only imagine what would have been if after Abacha's death, Abiola had been given his mandate.
The movie wey for happen between him and the hilltop one for be bestseller. He just had to be taken out of the picture.

N.B

After my initial post, I took out time to do a flash back to the days of yore and soon came to the conclusion that history often times repeats itself as can be juxtaposed with what we are presently been faced with, and the actors involved.

I can't shout it enough, how much i believe and respect karma (good or bad). From our history, up until the June 12 saga, it is evident that life has always reserved everyone a hand deservedly and according to that which we had sown.

It is one thing to incur the wrath or karma (curse) of an individual, but a whole different kettle it becomes when the curse is coming from a majority of 180 million people.

I still remember vividly the games and shenanigans from both the Abacha regime and the so called pro democracy hawks/opportunists. How can i forget the Walter Ofonagoros, the Ebenezer Babatopes, the Tom Ikimis et al, whom Abacha made his spokesmen and these men did the hatchet job of selling Abacha to whoever cared to listen then without any care in the world.

From the events that led up to the June 12 saga and beyond, you'd realize that of all the major/minor actors, Abacha and Abiola were the only two who even got off lightly by way of death. I say this in comparison to what the likes of the hilltop man, Arthur Nzeribe, Anenih, Ikimi and their likes still alive are passing through on a daily.These guys would wish they had gone to rest by way of death, but life and karma has got a different script.

The frog-eyed one should keep at his scheming and storing up of everybody's yam for his selfish self alone.He should remember how he still isn't as rich as Abiola in his hey days, but where are we today?

They should all keep fighting and pillaging for their selfish interests at the expense of the general populace.

Make una continue dey chop everybody food, una go continue dey purge.

Una beans done well...enjoy the good life...

I think it's already too late for a handshake across the Niger.


I wish the average Igbo will read that write up. It's the truth, but they'll pretend not to see it.


This present crop of Igbos have had their hearts poisoned and their minds polluted against the Yorubas.


To stretch out our hands to them again is to be stabbed in the back AGAIN as they have always done.


Igbo and lies are like 5 & 6.


They will go to any length to discredit the Yorubas.


How I wish the Yorubas can begin an earnest push towards Independence from Nigeria.


We have carried the burden that is Nigeria long enough. It has slowed us down.

Lets all bury the hatchet and live as one. This is the ultimate message. All the name callings and persistent suspicions of one another is only doing us all more harms and zero goods, both individually and collectively.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HATRED
I had the privilege of attending some meetings of the Yoruba and Igbo Leaders. I was not a leader but a youth who knew how to wash his hands. At one of those meetings in Owerri, I think in 1989, I think, I listened to Uncle Bola Ige and other Yoruba Leaders take the likes of Mbakwe, R. B. Okafor and others to the cleaners when the Igbo said the Yoruba were betrayers, citing that Chief Obafemi Awolowo led them into secession with a promise that if the Igbo left Nigeria, the Yoruba would follow suit. They accused him of not following up on his promise. Trust Uncle Bola Ige! He pointed to Chief Mbakwe and said, "you were there in the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu as I was. Is that statement correct?".He turned to two other Igbo and two Yoruba Leaders who were at that meeting and asked the same question, saying he had transcripts of the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu. They kept quiet while the Yoruba Leaders affirmed that Awolowo never promised to follow the East into secession. What he said was that if the Igbo were "driven" out of Nigeria the Yoruba would take it seriously and reassess their own position. Igbo Leaders DID NOT CONTEST this version. Then Chief Bola Ige threw in the clincher! "Who are you to accuse the Yoruba of betrayal?" he roared, and continued:
1. At Independence Awolowo offered a joint government between the NCNC and AG, with Zik as Prime Minister and Awo as Finance Minister. Awo and Zik "were still negotiating" when it was announced that Zik would be President in a coalition with NPC of the North. The East then collaborated in destroying the West and sending Awolowo and his leutenants to jail!
2. What of the 1965 elections which the West and the East agreed to boycott? We met all night and reached agreement about 3am on the day of the election. In the morning, while the Yoruba boycotted the election, the Igbo went to vote
3. After the 1979 elections Yoruba (UPN) and Igbo (APP?) Leaders were still at the negotiating table for a coalition when to their surprise, an announcement was heard that the Igbo (APP) had agreed to a coalition with the North (NPN)
4. After the 1983 elections, 1979 repeated itself. Not giving up, Awolowo reached out to Azikiwe again for cooperation. Talks started and they met in Benin where Awo pleaded passionately that only a collaboration between The Igbo and the Yoruba could save Nigeria. They didn't reach agreement but promised to meet again. Before the next meeting, the Igbo had again teamed up with the North
Uncle Bola paused and then continued "we can go on and on. So how dare you accuse the Yoruba of betrayal? How many Igbo have been killed in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, Oshogbo (he mentioned other Yoruba towns)? You have your businesses in the West and went to Western schools. Yet you count the Yoruba as your enemy. You get killed in Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Zaria etc and have your goods looted yet you consider the Hausa/ Fulani your friends. It's your choice. If you want to be slaves for ever, we can't help you"
I had never been so scared in my life. I thought the roof was going to fall. There was a pin drop silence and no Igbo dared interrupt Uncle Bola Ige because he was telling the truth. The Yoruba Leaders ended the meeting at that point and left. I hope Chief C. O. Adebayo's memoirs will give more details of those exchanges.
Now to make three points from all this:
A. The Yoruba have been stretching their hand across the Niger for a handshake for a long time. The Igbo refused to take it for a long time until recently
B. Many Igbo Leaders of the 70s, 80s and 90s deliberately perpetrated the legend of Awolowo's role betraying them into the civil war and his role in prosecuting the war, to rally the Igbo population behind themselves. The Igbo agreed on Yoruba hatred than on any other issue. So it was the fabric that held them together for a long time
C. Time heals all things. Many Igbo reading this will be hearing for the first time that their leaders of old knew for a truth that Awolowo did not break his word to Ojukwu as alleged. And to think of it, EVEN IF OUR PARENTS QUARRELLED, SHOULD WE THE NEW GENERATION CONTINUE THE SAME WAY?. ITS TIME TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE THE HANDSHAKE ACROSS THE NIGER WORK FOR THE SAKE OF OUR PEOPLES AND NIGERIA

Backwards and sidewards passings was their bane. At a point in the game a Nigerian player even had a throw in in the croatian half but threw the ball all the way to a Nigerian defender in the Nigerian half.
The Nigerian goalie is lacking in experience and confidence too. His goal kicks are not far reaching or precise enough.

Most of the players were played out of position especially in the first half.Mikel should be coming on as a sub.

Etebo had a pretty okay game bar the own goal.He was strong on the ball.

The boss dey suck him belle in?? Patriotic though...nice one.

Dear brother, your comment even though made in a passing is 'laden' with wisdom which I'm pretty sure you might not have thought about.

What you feel is natural and part of what we all feel from time to time as humans, but the difference is knowing the pros and cons of such, and applying the one we are comfortable with and can benefit positively from.

I commend you for been honest to come out with this thought of yours.

Now I'm going to let you in on the lesson to take from your thoughts and what you posted about..

"It means not to expend your energy hating, dissing or beefing someone whose life and destiny you can't, and have no control over...always eschew love, respect and admiration when necessary no matter what, because whatever vibes we give off is exactly what we'd attract to ourselves.

Peace bro
