Guyman02:
Many people don't know that Igala is a tribe in Anambra, although most of them speak Igbo language but they are still acknowledged and have a good number working in the state Civil service sector and security agencies.
Same is applicable to Enugu state which have Idoma/Igala communities in Nsukka zone of the state.
Anambra Govt radio stations and TV have Igala language program times, Igbos don't suppress people but always ready to tap from your areas of strength to improve themselves.
Some of the popular masquerades in Igbo land were copied from Igala and Efik/Ibibio cultures
That's nice.

The Egun in Yoruba land have their own news segment.

Unfortunately for the Eguns, some Yoruba look down on them for absolutely no reason.

The complaint is that they speak a funny kind of Yoruba, but they aren't Yoruba.

However, in Benin Republic, you have indigenous Egun and Yoruba people as well. They are far more numerous than the Yorubas there.

Many Benin households are actually Egun people, and not Yoruba.

Statisence should correct itself.

In Lagos the 4 indigenous languages being spoken are
Yoruba, Awori, Ijebu and Egun.

You won't be forgiven when you make such obvious mistake again
Awori, Ijebu fall under Yoruba. No mistake here.

Only Egun can be categorised as a second language.

In order for priority, that road project should be at the bottom series. It's a project being rushed for the benefit of the Southwest/Lagos axis of Nigeria
It prime purpose is electioneering. It is also to assist the South South or all coastal states especially the South South.

The speed at which it's being executed indicates its electioneering importance.

One of the projects Tinubu wants to use to win the next election.

Today, rigging alone can't guarantee you a win. Your perceived performance is much more important today.
Education › Re: Governor Makinde Raised LAUTECH Security Guards’ Pay From ₦18,800 To ₦80,000 by grandstar(m): 2:20pm On Oct 02, 2025
SmartPolician:
While this is commendable, this is called playing to the gallery. All politicians do this to win people's hearts.

That's because the governor knows how much every level in civil service of his state earns. He didn't have to wait for someone to speak up before it's increased. One thing is to promise and another thing is to implement it.
They are contract staffs, and are not part of the civil service.

I used to work as an admin manager for a private security outfit. Most tertiary institutions used contract staffing for their security.

Also, that 18k is for 15 days of work. It's one day on, and one day off.

He should not only stop the wedding but dump the bride as well.

If she couldn't support her would-be-husband at this stage, it raises a red flag.

It may indicate she's the entitled type who believes all expenses in the house are taken care of by the man, while she keeps all her incone to herself.

He dodged a bullet if you ask me.

Things could still be saved, but at this juncture, his would be wife, needs to do the needful to prove she deserves to be his Mrs someday.

Well said.

After what is happening in Kwara, my hatred for these bastard islamist terrorist have grown in leaps and bounds.

U go and kidnap innocent citizens in Israel and keep them hostage? What sort of madness is that? U even kill some? And u still refuse to negotiate?

Hmmn. Israel too is not without blame on this. In my estimate, I attribute the blame as Hamas 75% - Israel 25%
Fulani bandits are not terrorists. They are criminals.

Proper name for them are marauder bands, the type that David encountered when he was evading King Saul.

Righteousness2:
Hamas TERRORISTS Have Just 2 Choices:
1. Accept the plan and leave Peacefully.
2. Harden your head and neck like Pharaoh and Be DESTROYED


From my little Understanding from the BIBLE of GOD ALMIGHTY and HIS Dealings with HIS COVENANT Nation ISRAEL, I am quite certain the Number 2 will be the End.

THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND ISRAEL that I Know will very likely make the TERRORISTS to be Harden just as HE did with the likes of Pharaoh, Haman, Hezebollah etc, so as They will be DESTROYED.
How can they be God's people when they rejected his son and also had him killed?

But you said "murderous members".
If they are murderous, why should they not remain in prison?
I don't want to live in denial.

Though they may become a thorn in the flesh, Israel does not have too worry too hard.

As long as they are sealed in Gaza, they would be quite powerless. The primary reason why Israel has troops on the ground in Gaza is because of the hostages.

Though murderous, they would be rented powerless by the IDF.

Hamas won't accept a ceasefire as long as thousands of their murderous members are stay imprisoned in Israeli prisons.

That is the sticky point. All we hear are release of Israeli hoistages but complete silence about Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.

Big fat lie!
This kind of posts are very mischievious. It is as though Muslims too aren't being slaughtered.

We hear of these bandits or terrorists invading Mosques and slaughtering worshippers there.

Those who suffer the most from islamic esxtremists are actually Muslims.

In additon, the bandits actions are fuelled by money. They are criminals. The only thing taboo to them is harming a Fulani. Aside that, your religion, even Islam, will not save you.

Those who suffer the most from these bandits are Muslims. The bandits largely operate in the North which is largely Muslim.

All what Jonathan's inclusion in the race would do is to divide the oppositions votes further like it did in 2023.

Many Niger Deltans would vote Jonathan, adversely affecting Peter Obi's chances there.

Jonathan, like Peter Obi, can't achieve the required 25% in 25 states. I doubt he will get up to 18 states. His performance would be as dismal at Obi in 2023.

Then do us a favour and keep focusing on reforming your country so that your people could stop coming to a country with the highest unemployment and crime rate.

You don't see us coming to Nigeria to complain with our issues, do you? We'll deal with them our own way and for a country that has been under libration since 1960, you guys sure are still in shambles.

It's funny how you're blaming us for the deeds of your two blockheads when your villages get massacred all the time in your country, is that also our fault?🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️
I am an economics pundit. I write about other countries as well. Does that mean I want to travel there? So, if I pinpoint problems in the Burundian economy, rated as the poorest in the world, does that mean I want Nigerians to go there?

Or what of a Norwagian writes about the SA economy, does he want to emigrate there or to urge his countrymen to?

You've been dealing with your economy the same way for the past 31 years and see where it has left you? Unless drastic economic reforms are carried out in SA, in 20 years time, the South African economy will have collapsed.

Samantha125:
Let me get this straight, so SA needs to do something with the high unemployment rate in order to accommodate your people? Why not instead tell your own government to do something with the corruption, tribalism, and religious bigotries that are happening there? Isn't that the reason why many of your people are running away from Nigeria?

And since Libya and other countries have far more conducive environments that SA, then maybe you should start making it your duty to advise your people to migrate to those countries instead of SA.

You can't be holding us accountable for your own country's failures, you're not our responsibility.
I have never been a fan of emigrating to South Africa, or endorsing it to others. Though I have partial for emigration to advanced nations, I believe strongly in developing ones home country.

You guys have your own problems, and lots of economic migrants can be an extra burden. The 4 biggest challenges you have which are high unemployment, very high crime rates, power blackouts, massive budget deficits, corruption, and very sluggish economic growth are enough problems on their own.

The mismanagement of the Nigerian economy under Buhari wrecked the economy over 8 years, and the brutal but necessary reforms under the present government is bringing it back to life.

The question here is- what is the South African government to revive your economy? Nothing!

You guys shouldn't have the high unemployment rates you have. You guys have rigid labor laws that discourage hiring. That is the reason you guys have suffered from this very serious problem for way too long. If its fixed, unemployment could drop from 33% to about half that in 4 years, and further halved again in 8 years time.

If your labors laws make it expensive or difficult to hire or fire workers, it discourages hiring.

The rigid labors laws also deter investors. This further compounds the employment.
