True true wod

Nigerians are never this judgmental especially when someone looses a child, grown or not. This case is different.

Money is not everything, legacy is more important because it outlives all of us.

The wive of the son must be careful when Tinubu gets there because those babalawo have weird instructions.

Yeah, I know!

Nigeria is number one producer of crude oil in Africa.

So much oil and cassava, we want to feed motor with food when everyone is transferring to clean energy.

Ndi Ara!

Sphinx02:
enemy of progress.nigeria is d number 1 producer of cassava in d world.we already produce it in excess.

I was waiting for someone to point this out.

We have enough problems creating and growing enough food. Now we want to feed automobiles?

Do they know what biofuel is?

Tell me one poor Igbo man that married a Yoruba woman.

Only rich Igbo man can afford a Yoruba woman. Once he does, he will get a chieftain title in Ndi-Igbo.

I cannot even think of one sophisticated Igbo woman that will lie down for Igbo man unless that Igbo man is up to her level.

Igbo men are too domineering.

Igbo men see red when their women marry outside.

You will expect Nigerians to encourage Nigeria future or modern car ambition. Otio, na soso skeptics.

Nigerians and this obsession with fair skin. In the 80s, there were many Arabs, Shuwa and Fulani families displaced from Niger, Chad and the North begging on the streets of Lagos to Ibadan.

Motor park and street boys molested their girls right in front of their parents. Some of them got pregnant and others became wives.

Fast forward, they are now movie stars and most sought after as beauties.

BTW, the same was and is true of children of sailors with local girls.

If you are looking for beauties from the North, check out dark Hausa girls or southern girls.

Why are these fights always over Lagos and South West?

You guys need to give up. You cannot take this land with you or take it over.

A beg, which kind of insult be this na?

Me and dirty yam go dey fly inside the same plane fighting for space.

Seriously, Nigerians already buy farms in Central America and Mexico planting cassava, yams etc and turning them into gari and amola to sell in the USA.

Nigerians will do the same near Europe when price is high enough.

Instead of exporting raw yams for little price driving up prices at home, convert them to starch used in pharmaceutical products imported into Nigeria.

Is it a curse that Africans must sell at the lowest prices as raw materials and buy at the highest prices as finished products!

Did you read the article sir?

There are simply no control or constraints on population to deter explosive growth from our Continent in general and Nigeria in particular that will add more people to the world's population by 2050 than any other country.

zenmaster:
Stop comparing africa and china.
Africa is the largest continent on the planet.
China is just one country in Asia

Children raised overseas will challenge any African regardless of country, ethnicity or gender about the hopelessly of Black countries.

Look at these mumus.

Choscharis dey use Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa men as fronts to take over Nigeria.

Una dey fight over whose home town, Kora locate him plant.

Some people would jubilate over anything that puts Ogun State last, even when they feed on that State.

Most of you live and work in Ogun State claiming it is Lagos State.

You see graphs and statistics you read upside down. Use anything to justify your preconceived notions.

Without Ogun State, Nigeria and Lagos lack back bone or spine

Thanks very much.

Let them keep going, denying their common origin while claiming familiarity with outsiders.

Have you read the Father of all Nigerian Ethnic Groups?

Google it.

macof:
Its no use denying that southern Nigerian people descended from one culture

Politicians can see dollars and naira that last them and their families.

If what you mean by the post below is that you have never heard Igbo music in Yoruba parties, I will agree to the extent that only a band like Sunny Ade or Obe played.

Even when Aiyefele plays, he sings in Igbo and Hausa. If it is DJ, you must hear Igbo music. Actually Yoruba played them with some pride.

Please come here and say the truth. What I cannot imagine is some Yoruba getting up and rudely saying he does not want Igbo music. He will be shouted down.

The only complaint we get from Igbo is that enough Igbo music are not played.

The problem with Nigeria is that Igbo that agree with Yoruba are too scared of their people to come out. Trust Yoruba, it is their pride to support Igbo.

Fawklicant:
I've never been to yoruba party and heard anything remotely resembling igbo or hausa music. Neither have I been to any hausa gathering and heard igbo or yoruba music. The writer is just some lousy (likely a non igbo) fellow creating unneccessary mischief.

In that same USA, at a Yoruba event, Igbo dancers were invited. These dancers sang in Igbo and all applauded.

Nobody voiced any complaint, even if they secretly had it.

International usurper,

Again I ask, why was the topic changed from: Nsibidi Igbo Writing To Writing of the Southeast?

May God bless your mind.

If a country called Gold Coast or Diamond Coast has its money devalued from one to one, to today's one to 100 or 500; while all gold, diamond or uranium dug from their countries is stored in the Bank of England.

Don't you wonder my buroda, why Zimbabwean dollars went from one to one, to one to a billion?

On what gold standard basis do Oxford, Harvard and London School of Economics trained economists explain our devaluations?

This diamond is answer.

Iamsheye:
Imagine,it was discovered in Botswana and they just took it like that...... the money they would get after selling it they would not even invest it in the country or even settle the locals,am sure the country has some debt to pay......they would​ Just carry the thing sell it off and pocket the money or share it among themselves

Explores,see am waiting for when you would create a topic and tell us how the money was spent

This is the reason they claim Africans have no ancient writing despite Egajam Nsibidi, many African writings on human bodies, caves, potteries, animals and tattoos. Instead of us to appreciate them and call people who cannot read them illiterates, this one comes here to talk about global from his village.

Those who can count in thousands, Yoruba, when Europe could neither read nor write are called illiterate

Slowpoke.

Mention one thing that is global that originated from your local area.

Colo-mentality.

Separatist Fatigue Syndrome has paralyzed the fight against corruption in Nigeria.

This is intentional. Instead of fighting corruption, looters are using ethnicity to divide and conquer us. Other countries are are moving on on trade, innovation and prosperity, Nigeria is still mired in 18 century.

Nigeria Kwenu!

The money that should be used for projects and infrastructure.

The Gov. of Oyo just created 32 of them. One Oluwo of Iwo acquired one exotic car.

If all the money spent on Federal characters, Oba, Igwe and Emir are directed onto individual projects instead of individual people, Image what your villages, towns and cities would look like and how many people would be served. Even by solar light or mini water works.

Fear catch am. Stop playing on our sympathy. Too many false alarms

Honestly, this people nor get shame. Your father is a rogue, you were trained with loot and you are still proud to show your face. The day Lagosians wake up eh?

Fly go follow dead body inside ground. Omo ole.

Yes o. Nobody is indispensable, time for Africans to come together. Ghanaians can replace Igbo when they leave. It was a mistake kicking them out in the first place, but we survived.

Too many we are going to leave, too many goodbyes make people ask: why are you back again?

Gunmen Invade Catholic Church In Lagos, Shoot Priest
By Aina Ojonugwa - September 9, 2017

Three gunmen, on Friday, invaded St. Thomas’ Catholic Church, Onilekere, Ikeja, shooting the parish priest, Rev. Daniel Nwankwo at close range.

The gunmen were said to have approached the priest around 8:30am, shortly after he had concluded the day’s morning mass, and demanded audience with him which he granted without suspicion.

But as soon as Nwankwo followed them outside the church auditorium, one of the hoodlums opened fire on him and they escaped​ by jumping over the fence into a nearby canal.

The incident was confirmed by the Spokesman of the LagosState Police Command, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, who said five suspects have already been arrested in connection with the crime and were being interrogated.

He dispelled rumours that the priest was killed, adding that he was recuperating at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).

“The priest was immediately taken to LASUTH for medical attention where he is currently being treated and is under stable,” he said.

“The Commissioner of Police has visited the priest to ensure he was being given adequate treatment. He also spoke with him.“Yes the CP was at the scene and he spoke with some witnesses, who said the assailants were three and all Igbos.

“The witnesses said the assailants were not known to be members of the church. They said they were having a conversation with the priest before he was shot.

“The CP has deployed a crack team of detectives and operational officers to the scene and all areas leading to the canal, where the suspects were said to have ran towards.

“Already, five suspects have been arrested in connection with the crime and they are being interrogated.

“The CP is advising residents to be vigilant and security conscious at this time. He appealed that strange and suspicious faces, movements be promptly reported to the police.

“He has also ordered the deployment of static police guards in all churches and mosques across the state.

“Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) have been directed to provide 24 hours daily static police guard at churches and mosques.”

Chei!

He left out Jos and Cape Town.

Small time naw, we go say lack of equipment.

How difficult is it to devise homemade equipment abi na local intelligence we go use self to clean manhole or gutter? We are all waiting for that equipment from London and America. So why me naw kuku design and sell the gear sef? Bastard will not buy locally made because I will not put money into their foreign accounts.

For little money, the state can call for submission of locally made equipment.

Obviously this is a well researched article that cannot be refuted.

Otherwise amateurs and researchers could have invaded the thread.

This is getting to be irritating now. Every light skin or bleached girl can easily control attention or get noticed.

Africans are killing their black beauties and culture. No wonder they banned bleaching creams in some communities.

Even Russia will not fold its hands while USA tries any fockrage!

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers have flown a rare mission around the Korean Peninsula at the same time as the United States and South Korea conduct joint military exercises that have infuriated Pyongyang.

Russia, which has said it is strongly against any unilateral U.S. military action on the peninsula, said Tupolev-95MS bombers, code named "Bears" by NATO, had flown over the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, prompting Japan and Seoul to scramble jets to escort them.

The flight, which also included planes with advanced intelligence gathering capabilities, was over international waters and was announced by the Russian Defence Ministry on the same day as Moscow complained about the U.S.-South Korean war games.

"The US and South Korea holding yet more large-scale military and naval exercises does not help reduce tensions on the Korean Peninsula," Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the foreign ministry, told a news briefing in Moscow.

"We urge all sides to exercise maximum caution. Given the arms build-up in the region, any rash move or even an unintended incident could spark a military conflict."

Russia calls Japanese plans to deploy U.S. missile systems excessive

The United States and South Korea began the long-planned joint military exercises on Monday, heightening tensions with Pyongyang which called the drills a "reckless" step towards nuclear conflict.

Some military experts regard the hulking Russian turboprop bombers which made the flight near the Korean Peninsula as a relic of the Cold War. But Russia has upgraded the aircraft since the Soviet fall and, since 2007, has used the planes to back its diplomacy with shows of force and to probe other countries' airspaces.

Moscow said the bombers had been accompanied by Sukhoi-35S fighter jets and A-50 early warning and control aircraft.

The A-50s, the Russian equivalent of the Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft, are designed to track aerial and ground targets at a long range, among other capabilities.
TENSIONS

Moscow did not say how many aircraft had taken part or when the mission had taken place.

"Our long-range aviation pilots, according to an established plan, regularly carry out flights over neutral waters over the Atlantic, the Arctic, the Black Sea and the Pacific Ocean from their bases and from tactical airfields," the defense ministry said in the same statement.

It said the TU-95MS bombers were refueled in mid-air during the mission, and that during parts of the route they had been escorted by South Korean and Japanese military jets.

Russia, which shares a border with North Korea, has repeatedly voiced concerns about rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula caused by Pyongyang's nuclear missile program, and has also complained about possible plans by Japan to deploy a U.S. anti-missile system on its soil.

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Zakharova said on Thursday that if Tokyo did go ahead and opt to deploy such a system it would be disproportional to the North Korean missile threat and could upset wider strategic stability in the region.

Japan has at least twice before this year been forced to scramble its jets to intercept Russian aircraft.

The daily Izvestia newspaper reported in October last year that Russia was close to finishing setting up a new division of heavy bombers to patrol "the Japan-Guam-Hawaiian Islands triangle."
