You caused it , you shouldn't have allowed APC anywhere close to the corridors of power, now see how bad they've destroyed our country .

Tinubu have destroyed everything that our founding fathers laboured to build. The economy is in shambles, terrorism and banditry is now the order of the day and the useless president isn't doing nothing about it till president trump stepped in .

But I believe that Nigerians will get it right in by kicking this APC government of terrorism and economic hardship out in 2027.

unfortunately, your founding fathers did not build anything. In fact THEY are one of the reasons why we're in this never ending mess.

helinues:
I asked you for a prove. Why are you guys so disgusting like this

Why should you be making allegations you won't be able to back up with proves?

I doubt if I ever heard about the guy before not to talk of commenting on related threads

I can see you're suffering from both Comprehension deficiency and Acute denial problems.

helinues:
Why are you guys so disgusting with your ridiculous allegations all the time

Please provide your evidence where I praised or cheered the guy

It's annoying jare

Did you not cheer for the decampees when they were crooks carpeting to APC? Now that they're losing primary you've now changed mouth to criticise them for cross carpeting.

It can not be an allegation when the evidence is all over nairaland.

You people and two mouths are like 5 & 6

helinues:
That serves him right. Why can't he stick to the party that elected him

The new electoral act will definitely clip the wings of the politicians. If it was before, he would have been thinking of moving to another party

But you were cheering him on and singing APC victory when they were decamping to APC, you are criticising him for decamping.

You people and two mouths.

PrinceOfLagos:
You see all this useless women are the problem of this country

Them and there children are suffering but during election , they sell there future for a meagre N1000

That's why I have never pitied them and their suffering. If you understand the mentality of these people you will realise that this country has very very long way to go

OverCalculating:
This isn’t about insulting men; it’s about holding up a mirror and self reflection. The traits below describe a pattern of behavior that I have closely observed in Nigerian men, that quietly erodes self-respect, ambition, and control over their lives. The sad thing is that many of them don't even know about it.

As a man, If you see yourself in several of these points, it’s not a verdict. It’s a starting point. All you need to do is just to recognize the habits, then start finding how to break them and rebuild discipline, purpose, and self-respect.

As a lady, if you observe these habits in your fiancee, you don't need to worsen the case for him by feeling it is normal. It is either you choose to help him rebuild himself with discipline and self respect or just walk away if you think you can't tolerate it.

There is a serious problem with your guy if:


1. He has a victim mentality.

2. He complains instead of fixing his own problems.

3. He's easily influenced and always looking for validation from others.

4. He can't control his sexual urges and food cravings.

5. He has weak eye contact, sloppy handshake, and is afraid to stand for what he believes in.

6. He's a nice guy who's always available.

7. He believes his parents are responsible for his miserable life.

8. He smokes weed. He's a weak man.


9. He distracts himself with pleasure and has no purpose in life.

10. He can't control his emotions and gets easily offended.

11. He is desperate and puts women on a pedestal.

12. Likes gossiping about others.

13. He's fat and in terrible shape but doing nothing about it.

14. There is lack of self-discipline to take action.

15. He gives constant excuses and whine about his problems.

The moment I got to number 13 I immediately suspected that the Op must be a woman, I scrolled up to confirm and I was right. Na only Una go call a man *Fat* but get offended when you're called the same.

These guys are gradually entering and encroaching Yoruba land.

If President Tinubu cannot achieve a law that restricts herdmens open grazing to the north, then I personally believe it's time we seperate this country into 2 or 3 parts.

The North should embrace their terrorism to themselves. Enough is enough.

Their ultimate plan is to enter Lagos. They are moving in phases.

Opone cannot speak for the whole Ukwuani. What do you know about us other than wetin google tell you? Take a trip down here. Primary research will give you answers to your questions. Nor dey find who nor dey find you. We must not be from the same tribe for us to live in peace. Learn how to respect people.

Opone is an Academia and a professor in Historian studies, he's an expert in the history of those who make up the Anioma and it's surroundings and the paper he published which I linked, written after conducting an extensive research on Ukwuani and neighbouring clans.
Anyone who dismisses Opone's papers is doing so out of ignorance especially when they haven't even read the research work in question.
You're telling me to take a trip down to where I have lived for almost half a decade? You're joking. I asked you a question which you have refused to answer, probably because you know what the answers would reveal. Anyway, I am very much aware that I'm arguing this matter with a total outsider so I will stop here.

GTbank! Those people were really after my life! It was my brother who convinced me to open an account with them, which I did without hesitation because I was looking for a good, customer-friendly bank at the time. Then came the BVN registration hassle. I went to the bank and did my BVN with them, provided all my details, and registered. No wahala. I thought I was sailing smoothly until two weeks to my NYSC orientation camp. I went to the bank to request an ATM debit card, filled all the forms, and provided all the particulars they requested. The lady who attended to me assured me that my ATM would be ready within 2–5 business working days. I said to myself, "Well, that's fine. It is still within my deadline." On the third day, I went to the bank. I was told that it was not ready yet. I waited until Friday and went there again, and I got the same story: "ATM not yet ready." Hian! I said okay, no wahala, let me check back on Wednesday next week. Wednesday arrived, and I was like, "My ATM should be ready now, surely." I bounced into the banking hall and sat down at the customer care waiting line. When it got to my turn, I told them I had come to collect my ATM card. The young man checked his system, stood up, and went inside. I was thinking that he was going in there to fetch my card, but when he returned, the question he asked me took me aback. Baba was asking me, "Sir, when did you apply for the card, and was it in this branch?" I was like... shey this guy dey whine me abi wetin? I asked him whether my details weren't in their system, which he confirmed they were, but my card was not yet available. He asked me to check back on Monday next week. I was scheduled to travel to Katsina that Monday! I told him about my travelling plans, but he said that I should come in the morning since my journey was scheduled for night. Monday morning, I came back, and this time it was the lady who handled the ATM registration that was on seat. I jumped the line and went to her directly and narrated my ordeal and frustration with their services. I told her that I was supposed to be in Katsina that morning. She apologised and went to enquire about the delays in my card issuance. I saw her going back and forth inside the banking hall while the other customers on the queue complained about being kept waiting. Me, I no even look anybody face. When she came back again, she told me that for some reason she couldn't find my card, which was very infuriating. I was making for the door when one of her colleagues advised her to check the cabinet where they kept mails. She did, and lo and behold, my card was there. Apparently, it had been sitting there for weeks! She apologised for the delays, though, but I wasn't in the mood for that, so I left immediately to go arrange and get ready for my journey, thinking my ordeal with this bank was over. Little did I know we were just getting started.

After the NYSC orientation camp, I was redeployed to Anambra. When I got to the NYSC office at Amawbia, we were told to open a new allawee account with FCMB (in the orientation camp in Katsina, we had opened an account with Zenith Bank for our allawee). I did as we were told, opened the account, and provided my BVN for linkage. When the first allawee from Anambra entered the FCMB account, I went to withdraw the money, but I was hit with a surprise! My BVN details did not tally with the account details. My DOB with my BVN wasn't the same as my FCMB account DOB. I went to FCMB to find out what the way forward was, and they told me to go back to the bank where I registered the BVN! Hian!! See wahala!! I went to the GTB closest to me at Awada, but they advised me to go to the one at Head Bridge, which was quite far. I was in Awada at that time, squatting with a friend. I had no choice but to go to Head Bridge because I was really running low on cash and needed the allawee so badly. I got to the bank, met the customer care person, and he asked for my birth certificate. I provided that to him, and he said I should check back in three days. Four days later, I came to the bank hoping for positive feedback. By this time, I was down to my last ₦2,000, and I had to trek from Upper Iweka to Head Bridge. I came in, sat down, and rested a bit before going up to the customer care guy and asking him about the update. This guy just pressed the keyboard as if he was trying to crack a hidden code, looked up at me, and said, "Do you have your local government birth certificate? The one that was issued to you by your local government?" Na small thing remain I for give that guy flying nodding. I asked him why he didn't request that particular document the first time I came to the bank. Well, sha, I told him that I didn't have it there with me at the time and that I would have to go back home to get it, as in travel back to my state. He advised me to do that and assured me that it would all be sorted out if I could provide that document. As I was about to leave, I saw another person complaining about the same BVN date of birth issue, and the funny thing was that this person was a staff of GTB but from another branch. Na there I know say evil spirit hand dey inside this thing.

Anyway, thank God that my state was Abia State and I wouldn't spend more than ₦700 (back when things were a bit better) to get a ticket back to Umuahia. I trekked back to Iweka, boarded a bus at Goodness and Mercies Transport Company, and headed back to Umuahia. When I got home, I narrated my issues to my parents (may God continue to rest their souls), and they immediately put calls through, and within a day, my LGA birth certificate was ready. My mother gave me some cash, and I was off the next day to Anambra. By the time I got to Onitsha, banks had already closed for the day, so I waited till the next day and went to the bank. I got there, provided the elusive document, and the guy told me to check back within five working days because they were going to forward my details to the CBN for verification. I said no wahala, wetin remain small don already finish. A week later, I returned to the bank after a very long distance of trekking, only for this guy to tell me that I should bring a valid ID card or driver's license for more verification! That's when I completely lost it! I stood up immediately, slammed my corper cap on his desk, and began causing a scene in the bank. My voice was so loud as I demanded to see the manager immediately! Every attempt to get me calmed down was fruitless. I was so enraged. The manager, who was a lady, finally came out and asked me what the problem was. I told them everything the bank had made me go through. She apologised and told me to go to the high court and get an affidavit. By that time, my last card was ₦3,500, and the affidavit was about ₦1,500, if I recall correctly. She promised that she would personally handle the case and that all she needed was an affidavit from court. I did as she told me to. I had to go to Awka for the affidavit. I got it done and brought it back to her, and she told me not to bother coming to the bank again, that she was going to call me as soon as everything was sorted out. I went back to the place I was squatting that day. ₦400 being my last card, I prepared spaghetti and beans with it and began to wait. Three days later, just as the food was about to finish, she called me to inform me that the problem had been sorted out. I checked my account with the mobile app and tried to buy a recharge card on it, and it was successful! I was overjoyed! All the time I was having this issue with the BVN, one month had passed, so I had two allawee sitting in my account.

And then I thought, finally, no more issues with this GTB... or so I thought.

Three months later, I went to the ATM around Aroma Junction to withdraw, but it didn't pay me, yet I got debited! Ha! Which one is this one again? It was getting late and about to rain heavily. I needed money to transport myself back to my lodge at Achalla, Igbariam. So I quickly ran to the Eco Bank ATM at Eke Awka, slotted in my card, and typed my withdrawal amount. The next thing I heard was the sound of my ATM getting swallowed! E come do me like say the world dey turn anticlockwise! Chineke nna, what is going on? Who did I offend in GTB that has sworn to give me HBP and stroke via their services? Desperately, I called one of the security guards at the ATM and told him what was going on. The guy asked me which bank's ATM I used, and I replied, "GTB," and he was like, "Bros, that card don go. Forget about am, them go destroy am. If to say na Eco Bank, them for bring am out for you tomorrow morning." Ha!!! Frustration started explaining the terms and conditions of our relationship to me in my ears. Suddenly, the tables that the market women left at their shops at Eke Awka started looking really comfortable in my eyes, because I no just get choice than to sleep on one of them this night. Then a light bulb lit up in my head. I remembered that I had a friend who stayed around Amawbia. Teddy was his name. We both met at Katsina camp and redeployed to Anambra together. I called Teddy immediately and told him my predicament and asked if I could crash at his place tonight. Unfortunately, he had a girl over that night, but as a bro, he told me to come over anyway. It was already raining by the time I got to his lodge. All throughout the night, I didn't sleep. All I kept thinking was how I was going to go to the GTB in the morning and withdraw every single kobo I had in that account. I was totally done with them. Immediately morning came, I rushed to the bank even before the staff. I waited patiently for them to open the banking hall. When it was time, I went into the bank, took the withdrawal slip, and with it demanded every last kobo in that account. Once I got it, I left the bank immediately, crossed to the opposite side of the road—there was Zenith Bank right opposite the GTB—went into the bank, and dumped all the money into my Zenith Bank account. And that was the last time I neared any GTBank. I had to run for my life before they killed me with frustration.

you don't need to tell me anything, I already figured that out . My boss that I mentioned is an Ukwuani man .

By the way read this Historical journal by Paul Opone, he's a well seasoned historian and a lecturer in Delta state university.
https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ujah/article/view/166014

According to historical findings:
The findings indicate that Ukwuani people are Igbo in origin, and the claim of origin from Benin which textbook generalizations tended to portray is a recent contraption made possible by feedback in oral tradition."

I nor owe you any proof. Ukwuani nor be Igbo. We nor relate.

I know exactly how to unmask all these Yoruba boys masquerading as Anioma. A proud Ukwuani person will never hesitate to answer my question.

SonOfDSoil01:
ndi Lagos is no mans land should come and tell us why in the history of Lagos non of their ancestors as ever been oba or where were they then in Lagos when Yorubas were building Lagos

When they say "Lagos is s no man's land" what they're trying to say is that " you don't need to be a Yoruba or native to succeed in Lagos, just hustle well and Lagos is yours to conquer" , it doesn't mean that no one owns the land. I don't know when most of you people will be able to understand this.
New York is another city that is called no man's land for the same reason. You people just take words literally that's your problem.

Readinglamp:
My people have spoken. Haven't they? You wana query me on my ancestry. Audacity is that you? Okowa use una play politics. But at least he spoke about himself only. Ned Nwoko too sef. But e nor come enter for am. When you are unnecessarily emotional about things, people will take advantage of you.

Your people have spoken? This was just an election for card carrying members of APC. Unless you want to tell me you're only 4k in number
Okowa didn't use anyone for politics, his name says "Ifeanyi", guess what language that is? In fact 90% of Anioma language is intelligible with other Igbo dialects, do you understand what that means? Your traditions and culture are distinct Igbo, your lettering something.
If you're from Ukwuani as you say , then I challenge you to speak your native dialect let's see.
My former Boss in Lagos was from Anioma and he never misses the opportunity to tell me his ethnicity whenever we're in a private discussion.

It's a very weird thing tho, it's only online that you see people denying they're Igbo from Anioma, but in real life you hardly see this denials, which lead me to conclude that most of the people doing are probably from a completely different ethnicity trying to sow discord.

Iweakbro:
We’re better off in Delta my bro. Powers are shared equally and we have no need of joining the south east. We don’t have the same reasoning or alignment with them.

Na so, "igbo When it's convenient" . This same Okowa remembered that he's an Igbo man When he wanted to vie for a national political post, and was selling the " we Igbos will get to the presidency through cooperation" , if that's not alignment with the Igbo hinterland I wonder what it is. Besides, I have lived in Asaba for years, I didn't see any difference in reasoning and alignment between Those in Anioma areas and the average Igbo people. Even the post about Okowa that you linked attested to that fact, you should read what others are saying tho

Readinglamp:
We are not majorly Igbo people. How else do you want us to say it? Omor na wa ooo. Even Asagba of Asaba don tell una. Some of una start to insult am. Sometimes, listening to the other party is important.

You can't impose a tribe on people. We go tell you our root reach ground. Even areas i felt were igbos in Delta North have said otherwise. God forbid that i would start to argue a person's ancestry with them. You can't come to our communities to call us Igbo.

All of these ends on social media. Even visitors wen dey among us, we know them. No matter how long them don stay here.

I don't need to listen to what you're saying online, I've stayed in Onicha/Asaba for years, I listen to what the people themselves are saying in real life, not what someone who doesn't even understand the meaning of "Ifeanyi" is saying online. I have attended traditional weddings and burials and their tradition is distinctively Igbo, their languages Igbo and they bare igbo names. That's majority of the people I interacted with who are Anioma.
Even this Same Okowa identified himself as an Igbo man not too long ago.

If I start to query you on your ancestry right now two things will be revealed, either you don't know yourself or you're not even from Delta state

Iweakbro:
Here is what you need to know. We won’t be creating Anioma state just yet, but if we do, it won’t be zoned to the SE. The Se already had plans of a sixth state(Etiti and Orlu), up until Ned made them start dreaming of getting Anioma instead. So, there is no law stating Anioma must be zoned to the SE—that was Ned’s construct. Him dreams and yours were crushed with a 4k to 3 votes yesterday. Lol

Here's what you don't know, there will not be anything like Anioma if it's not in the SE, it's not a matter of "just yet" it will never happen because Eket and Ijaw will be fighting for that SS spot when it opens up and IF the Sixth state is created within the SE region, no one is going to allow the Igbos have a seventh state in Anioma, politics will move it to other SS minorities who are already positioning themselves for that when it gets to their turn.
Anioma 's chances of becoming a reality is now with the SE or never.
Whichever way they choose to go does not concern me.

The Igbos are only in the enuani areas. We the ukwuani people are not Igbo. No offence to anyone. It is what it is.

the people in Anioma area is majorly Igbo people. That's a fact that even the traditional heads there have made clear to anyone still in doubt. Okowa himself identified himself as an Igbo man.

Iweakbro:
You lack comprehension here. First of all, Okowa has stated that we can only be zoned to the south south. And with the landslide victory, you could clearly see that majority of us were never in support of Zoning to SE. Keep your eyes glued, I’ll quote you again in coming years.

My mentioning of Ned is because, he is the person who started giving you easterners the mind that you’ll get Anioma as an extra state. He is gone now, alongside his ambition to be a governor of Anioma state lol.

One more time, https://www.nairaland.com/8658673/okowa-nwoko-anioma-belongs-south-southfull

You just displayed the very reason why Nigerians are required to take English proficiency exams. Go and learn how to read and comprehend, it will be very beneficial to you in the future.

Anioma will not be created IF it is not going to be added to the SE. If Anioma is going to be added to SS then the SE will not support it, they would rather support a sixth state for SE than support another state for SS. This was the reason why the agitation for Blue river state and co were shelved.

If you're still struggling to understand this simple fact then I no fit help your matter.

Did they tell you that Igbo are not indigenous to South South? His opponent bares the name Okowa Ifeanyi, which tribe owns that name, is it Urhobo, itsekiri or ijaw? The people of Anioma are proudly Igbo, where the state would be zoned to If it is created is where the debate is, but the ethnicity is never in doubt.
