₦airaland Forum

Southeast stats are ok but there's still room for improvement.

ryloy:
Nairaland has turned into a rumor mill, lacking substance, innovation, and educational content. What was once a repository of knowledge and in-depth analysis has sadly degenerated into a platform full of downgraded hearsay

it's because the government paid influencers have taken over the forum.

The rate is less than the prevailing inflation rate. Not really a good investment.

Skull miners on the rampage

Odogwu nwoke

Nigerian economy has been clashed totally by APC and it's even getting worse.

Ohanaeze ndi oshi na ama. Ohamadike we know

Thank God for Trump's presidency,all these gay madness would soon take a back seat, Obama really caused a lot of damages with his pro gay government.

The injustice in Nigeria is much.

Really? So, all kinds of visitors will have access to the rooms?

The absence of visitor's toilet in any flat or bungalow it a big error. Quote me anywhere.

That's your personal preference and it's ok, personally,I have concluded that most visitors toilet are underutilized and therefore a waste of money and useful space,I add it as a standard luxury feature for owner occupied homes but don't consider it a necessity for budget rental homes.

You could have just read and move on.

Is what I wrote about Ibos correct or not? Aren't your people claiming to be lost tribe of Israel? Don't your elders dress like and worship like the Israel people? Wasn't there a sponsored DNA test to nullify any association between Ibos and Israel?

someone just claimed that the name Yoruba given to you by Fulani means 'betrayers' and you left the crux of the matter to start dragging Igbo name into it.

Face Reno OMockery squarely, don't drag the Igbo name into your discussion. Take it as a word of advice rather than an invitation to an argument.

BoyCoyToy:
Dear Nairaland Architects and Engineers, I designed a 2 bedroom/1 bedroom semi detached bungalow on a 15x15m land.

Please I need your criticism and suggestions on it so it can be modified.

N.B: I am not a professional!!! Just a graphic designer with little to no knowledge on this field

you tried very well, the visitors toilet is not absolutely necessary because the flats all have a toilet accessible from the living room, you can also add a metre wide visitors toilet from the front verandas, the only problem I see there is that you don't know that the sizes of rooms and spaces are influenced by the intended functions, thus a dining room for six people have a certain dimension from a dining for eight,ten, twelve, fourteen etc. This is a common problem among Nigerian architects even with those that have masters degree in the field, your dining room dimensions doesn't make sense for the intended use, prove me wrong if you think otherwise.

UncleAyo:
SMH

Some people like to write on topics they know just little about and then fill up the detail with their imaginations.

Yorubas should be very careful with contents from Mr. Reno Omokri. He has his agendas.

He blocks people with factual and superior arguments. He also tries to manipulate opinions.

He was shown the use of word "Yoruba" before Ajayi Crowder but instead of acknowledgement, he blocked the person.

Also, Ijebu people have nothing to do with Jebusites of the Bible, there is only a similarity in numenclature. This is the same mistake the Ibos are doing by calling themselves lost tribe of Israel. It is ridiculous to try to attach by force to another people without historical or DNA evidence.

We believe Itsekiri is a high quality Yoruba tribe; Same way we have Ondo, Oyo, Egba e.t.c but trying to force the name Lukumi on Yoruba is something else.

you just have to drag Igbos in to your nonsense, can't you guys have the common sense and civility to control your mouth from attracting problems to you?

APC propaganda dismissed.

I don't think that's the origin of their beef, Burna boy from the exchange circulating on WhatsApp started it by calling chief priest an azaman among other things.

have you bothered to check the daily life of the average Argentine?

when Abacha was in charge, it was interesting to find Nigeria had good economic indices on paper, but her citizens invented the infamous abacha stove to eat.

Our current economic model (world over) does not favour having beautiful annual/quarterly numbers and living a decent life. To pump out those sweet-looking figures, some hard choices have to be made... let me not digress because Nigeria is a very different economy.

In Nigeria, it does not matter if the numbers look good or bad, our government still finds a way to make living here undesirable.

na only you de play attack and defense

The president of Argentina came on power the same time with Tinubu and faced the same similar problem as Tinubu but he cut the cost of governance, selling all private jets etc, today, their currency is ending the year with a 44.59% appreciation while the naira depreciated by over 40%, Peter Obi would have given us a similar result as the Argentine president.

Honestly,both the lyrics of the song,the flow and the video are meaningless and disjointed but since it's what sells,I say congratulations to the young man.
NB- it gives a decent but disjointed party vibes.

Omo I dey go become Farmer

cost of production for farmers is very high now due to most inputs been imported, agriculture is not really as profitable as it seems.

Jeezuzpick:
It's a good gesture.

Now, one question......is it possible for a Nigerian to go to a Russian University, graduate and be unable to perform upon return to Nigeria? I am really concerned because of a recent experience I had with someone who graduated from a Russian University.

I interviewed him for a job and he just about failed every question I threw at him.

He was even arguing with me over a point I made until I went online and proved him wrong.

In the end, a colleague and friend convinced my boss and I to take him, and we put the guy on the team of the same guy that was begging on his behalf.

Fast forward a couple of months, my friend was complaining about his performance.

what's the nature of your job? I am looking forward to further my studies in Russia too due to cost considerations.

Idiot chasing another man's wife on in a club and when she refuses his advances,he get his police body guard to shoot the husband and his friend. Very childish human being, based on his trending video and song relics, this guy is probably gay.

As long as Inec is not truly independent,all these moves and alliances would fail to prevent Jagaban from grabbing, snatching and running away with power through rigged elections

If a church should post a koranic quote with an image of their prophet Muhammad in a Muslim dominated area in the southwest or north,the Muslims would unleash bloodshed and destruction for sure

Hahahaha, this is a different story from what the Western Media is telling us in English language.

This wouldn't trend because it's not it's not in the southeast,the number of abductions on the southwest and Kwara state this yuletide season is mind boggling.

I think the UK have lower wages, higher taxes and higher cost of living, the only good thing about her is that it's cheaper for some professionals to migrate to.

Why is this thread not on the frontpage yet?

All these tribulations against the Igbos would surely end one day,I guess it's these type of experiences that hardened the modern day Israelites.

The civil war never ended,it only changed form

*How Troops Of Nigerian Military Raided Over 300 Communities In South-East, Displaced 180,000 Residents – Report*

*The military authorities, who have been condemned for the militarisation of the region, were accused of burning down over 6000 houses and displacing at least 180,000 residents.*

The Nigerian military in its continued onslaughts on the South-East states have allegedly raided no fewer than 300 Igbo communities under the guise of fishing out members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) mmbers, a new report has revealed.

The military authorities, who have been condemned for the militarisation of the region, were accused of burning down over 6000 houses and displacing at least 180,000 residents.

The report was released on Sunday by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) and titled, "Nigeria: Ocean of Innocent blood flowing in the East" and the "Human Rights Made In Nigeria."

The new report chronicled the secret arrests and trial of South-East residents in seven states of Niger, Kogi, Nasarawa, Benue, Kaduna, Zamfara and FCT (Abuja), while alleging that other residents were dumped to die or subjected to "Kangaroo trials" inside the Wawa Army Cantonment In Niger State.

The report partly read, " The “Ocean Of Innocent Blood Flowing In The East” represents graphic, shocking and chilling account of the Nigerian military and other security forces (police crack squads, secret police, sub-state actor killer vigilantes and killer government taskforces) siege and terror (armed state actor conduct-atrocities) in the East since August 2015.
"It further captures the untold story of what is going on in the Region with regard to violent criminal activities by armed non-state actors including government-linked and non-government-linked armed non-state actors."

Relatedly, “The Human Rights Made in Nigeria” is a compilation of relevant and available local, regional and international human rights, humanitarian and universal human rights and rule of law compliant legal provisions and safeguards regulating the lawful and unlawful conducts and activities of armed citizens in Nigeria or any part thereof including armed state actors and armed non-state actors and their commanders or leaders, aiders and abettors."

“Ocean Of Innocent Blood Flowing In The East” is fundamentally targeted at exposing external and internal forces found to have been responsible for the present war-zone situation of the South-East and the South-South regions of Eastern Nigeria. The “warzone” state of public and citizens’ security and safety and their properties include grisly and egregious human rights violations and abuses: mass and targeted killings and property burnings outside the law, body lacerations, abductions, disappearances, torture and other inhuman or degrading treatments or punishments and security sector duty-post corruption particularly military, police and paramilitary roadblock and barracks extortions and other atrocities by armed non-state actors.

"Many non-state actors involved are found to have been procured and clandestinely sponsored by external state actors and their conspiratorial internal state actors both armed and unarmed including some past and present public office holders within and outside Eastern Nigeria particularly in the South-East. Intellectually and forensically Identified in the Mother Report (“Ocean Of Innocent Blood Flowing In The East”) are two sets of “egregious crimes against defenseless persons, their properties and the society”; namely: “state actor crimes or state-actor generated insecurity and other unsafe conditions” and “non-state actor crimes or non-state actor generated insecurity and other unsafe conditions”.

"The above highlighted heinous crimes are severely punishable and effectively controllable under Nigeria’s criminal, human rights and humanitarian laws or provisions and their safeguards including the Treaty Laws and Nigeria’s Regional and International Obligations.

"Tens of thousands of defenceless citizens and their properties in the East have been killed or wantonly destroyed outside the law since August 2015 and controversially labeled “gunned down IPOB/ESN terrorists/oil thieves”. The Nigerian Defense Headquarters, for instance, had on Dec 5, 2024, claimed that it “killed 666 IPOB/ESN terrorists from Jan to Dec 2024” alone.

"The “Ocean Of Innocent Blood Flowing In Eastern Nigeria” is a catalogue of how officers and personnel of the armed forces (Army, Air Force And Navy), police and the DSS used “IPOB/ESN/BIAFRA Terrorism” as a pretext to secretly massacre 22,500 unarmed civilians and openly killed 9,800 others (totalling over 32,300) between August 2015 and December 2024.

"Over 300 Igbo Communities were raided, 6000 civilian houses razed, 180,000 displaced, 1million forced to abandon their homes and flee, N450billion defenceless civilian properties lost to military burnings and destructions, N3trillion (presently about $2billion or previously about $5billion) corruptly seized and illicitly pocketed at roadblocks and other gunpoints.

"In statistical conclusion, therefore, all the above indicated that the deployed Nigerian Security Forces (Army, Air Force, Navy, Police, DSS, sub-State actor Vigilantes and Paramilitaries) in the East atrociously killed members of defenceless civilian population dominated by Igbo citizens more than twice higher than (32,300) those killed by armed criminal entities (14,500) who the security forces are deployed with public arms and funds to fish out, prosecute and stop from harming them.

"The deployed security forces and their officers and personnel and high commands were also found to have violently seized and illicitly pocketed, by way of extortion and looting, criminal monies and other properties (over N3trillion) belonging to defenseless Easterners almost six times higher than those seized and stolen by criminal entities (N550billion). The drafted security forces were further found to have burned down or destroyed civilian houses and other properties (N450billion) over seven times higher than those burned down or destroyed by criminal entities (about N60billion)."

The reports were prepared by criminologist and chairman of board of Intersociety, Emeka Umeagbalasi, and a team of lawyers; Chidinma Udegbunam, Chinwe Umeche, Obianuju Igboeli and Ndidiamaka Bernard.
