Hes swimming in his money, stupid men in nigeria who build houses without town plan supervision, the house was built below sea-level, as why in nigeria uou see red markings on walls when roads are being built, with the ocean surge , you see such men lavishing in ther ignorance

You're actually talking nonsense. Do you even understand the reason for the flooding happening all over Nigeria?

Na wa oh,

Some of you just thrive in throwing insults around. One would think you know what you're talking about. It's a shame.

Faber:
See people and comparison, Ebonyi get 15 flyovers, how many mega towns are in Ebonyi

Ngwo 9th mile

Ebonyi should open up their rural communities, all man just cluster at Afikpo and Abakaliki

There's no need listing these things or comparing these states. Ebony is catching up and growing, soon it'll join the rest of them. Hopefully everyone of these states would be getting good governors that would develop our states the more.

By the way, I don't know the obsession with flyovers in Nigeria. If I was a governor I would not build any, I would only build flyover in areas where it'll help reduce traffic. I was in Ebony not too long ago, saw some very nice flyovers(and excellent roads) but some of these flyovers ate just for ornamental purposes as there isn't much traffic in those areas to warrant one.

They should instead delegate these funds to things that would improve the lives of residents. Education, healthcare, good roads(Ebony seems to be doing well based on what I saw going to Okposi, I even passed afikpo, still reall good roads), investment in agriculture, businesses and manufacturing where possible.

Flyovers in my opinion are a waste of funds, I saw some flyovers in Kano states too that didn't solve any traffic issues.

Our governors just do things anyhow sha


Finally, Aba is not a town, it is a city with a collection of many towns. Same thing applies to Owerri.

Arda1000:
your problem is you compare both names together when you are very aware that you call someone who is named Chimamanda,Amanda.
This should not even be a topic cus a girl I used to data her name is Chimamanda n her parents her friends even me call her Amanda nothing there but I wonder how u deemed it ok to make it an argument it’s like u like arguing

Oga go rest.

If you have comprehension issue, firstly indicate before trying to pick an unnecessary fight.

Go have a nice day

Arda1000:
oga wait biko am Igbo too so my son is Ifesinachi if I call him Ifesi or Ify sha I have automatically altered his name?
Abeg free that one

'ifesi' and 'ify' are not independent names on their own and they don't hold any real meaning on their own that way. They're shortened form of different names that starts with 'ife-', mostly in Igbo language, there are some Yoruba names too that start like that but I don't know if they're ever shortened to 'ify'.

Amanda is a complete name on its own, it is not a shortened name, it is not an Igbo name. It is totally different. Calling someone whose name is Chimamanda, Amanda, is not shortening their names it is essentially giving them a totally different name because both do not relate to each other, do not have similar origin nor similar meanings.


That's all thr explanation I have, everything is self explanatory. I don't know why anyone is even thinking in that direction.


And finally, my correction is not meant to show that I'm Igbo or that I'm more Igbo than others. There's no need mentioning you are Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. None of these ethnic groups are averse to knowledge and understanding.

SmartPolician:
Uncle, we have more important things to worry about in this country.

Abeg leave my version as e be.

When you are corrected, learn to take correction and not just dismiss it with an excuse that makes little sense.


It's the problem with young people today, they always want to feel correct no matter whatever it is. Even when it is glaring that they're wrong. If our young people do not learn to take corrections and adjustments we would face problems in the future.

SmartPolician:
When you remove the prefix, CHIM, from the name, what do you have?

Amanda is a name on its own, Chimamanda is an Igbo name on its own and not an elongated form of Amanda. Don't butcher people's names just to serve whatever purpose you have.

Chimamanda is actually a better name than the Amanda you're trying to pin on her. Her name is not Amanda, there are lots of people who bear Chimamanda.

Chimamanda means 'My God would not fall' or 'My God would not fail'

Changing it to Amanda totally changes the meaning and the significance of the name.

Nosayer:
Somebody should tell Tẹni. This is class and not the gutter behavior she displayed.


God bless Chimamanda

Teni did not exhibit any gutter behavior. I watched the video over and over. At a point I start to feel some of you were sponsored to attack her for unjustifiable reason.

She didn't exhibit any gutter behavior, you guys should leave the girl alone.

SmartPolician:
Amanda is following in the footsteps of Chinua Achebe who rejected the national honours twice in the past (2004 and 2011). Amanda has also stated that she has deep respect for Achebe and that Achebe's works influenced her writings in more ways than one.

Nigeria, by default, is programmed to frustrate her own people, especially the poor people among us. It's even annoying that the so-called leaders don't give a hoot. However, let no man blame the White man for the failure of African black.

Her name is not Amanda.

Rozross:
All these business men disguised as pastors are shamelessly coming out of their shell, you'll never find my pastor in this kind of mess.

Pastor ke.

You couldn't even read to confirm who is the Eneche, you just rushed in because you've been programmed to hate pastors w=even when they've done nothing wrong.

Tutuna:
Nigeria and Nigerians needs a competent, experienced and educated leader like Waziri Atiku Abubakar not someone like Peter Obi who is building his race based on tribalism.

Peter Obi is building his race on tribalism. Do you genuinely believe what you say or you just want to say it to spite some people.

Hmmm

Offpointng:
Why do I feel Peter Obi is too ugly facially to become Nigeria's president.

Osinbajo would have been the best candidate and the man for the moment rn if Obi wasn't selfish and greedy

WTF is this

Are you even serious with this yeye talk.

I don't think osinbajo is more better looking than him sha.

So you don't want to vote someone because they're supposedly ugly? If it was about beauty, Buhari would have been a fantastic president since he's not ugly. But alas!

oyebanji44:
that flag boy is in trouble

We told you guys that...


obi is not yet popular among Nigerians...you guys labelled us as tribalists


Obidients need to careful especially in rallying around in some streets in Nigeria..

Since he's not popular, allow him campaign in peace and prove to him he's not popular at the polls by not voting for him. Simple.

But what you are doing instead is to attack either people campaigning for him or destroy properties used for the campaign. It does show one thing, he's not just popular, you are scared of his emergence and his growing popularity and acceptance through out Nigeria.

It's a shame what those of you who claim to love Nigeria do to the Nigeria you claim to love. A big shame.

LongManAfrica:
Just that Obi is from Igbo tribe .Nothing more.

I don't think Reno's sudden disdain for Obi has anything to do with Obi's tribe.

Though Reno takes the whole thing to a new level, it still has little to with his tribe but more to do with pocket or stomach infrastructure. Pay attention to Reno very well you would understand. The funny thing is, Reno is not going to vote in the election but he is trying to make himself a loud voice.

If Reno is not a sycophant, why was he singing Peter Obi's praises weeks prior to his decamp to Labour Party? It's all about the source of his meal.

akwabassey:
Owerri is more or less a glorified village

You are not from any of the two cities so how does that concern you?

We know very well what you aim to achieve with this thread and nobody would give what you so yearn for

pocohantas:
Our security agencies are too ignorant. Are they educated at all? Maybe they know these things but choose to feign ignorance just to extort citizens.

Everything is yahoo to them.

They're actually not as ignorant as many people try to make them seem including some of their men. They're very well aware of these things, they just want to swindle money out of people's pockets.

Feigning ignorance is a way to make it seem like they're innocent, these people are criminals that's been sanctioned and empowered by thr government.

ImperialYoruba:
I support this video and its statement.

Peter Obi packed his family and abandoned Anambra people to their fate with terrorism. He contributed to the terrorism. He was building brewery to produce alcohol and consumption, when Tinubu was creating infrastructure to empower.

Last time I heard anything, his daughter is a teacher in a government school in Anambra state. So tell me how he packed his family?

Una too foolish and no body around una dey willing to tell una. Shameful lots.

ruggedtimi:
thats like $420k. The record label can pay off within three months

make una dey calm down.

No be for ground them dey pick money, aahn aaahn.

Na $420k you dey call like 400 naira. Na wa oh

mrvitalis:
Son of a Petty trader ? Na wah ooh
.his father owns next international was the sole distributor of Henz products in Nigeria

So if you ever made fried rice in the 90s or early 2000 before bama came out you most likely paid Peter obi father

He was the solve distributor of several wines

Owned a number of super markets

Infact obi inherited $175 million from his father which he claimed the he grew to over $500 million

Obi was a rich kid he drove cars in school ...sultan of Sokoto lived in his house he built in school when sultan served in nsukka ...at least sultan is not dead

Do you know how rich your father would be for you to be able to build a house in the town you schooled ?

These cretins you're trying to explain to already know these things because Obi has repeatedly talked about this, but they would keep making silly noise.

They're not genuinely asking because they're curious they're asking because they have nothing else to say.

They thought every single politician made their money from drugs or looting. They don't know there are lots of people who either made their money legitimately or inherited from parents or relatives.

I knew it'll be APAMs omo!


I don't know why I don't like anything about the business and how glamorizing they try to make it seem.

ImperialYoruba:
Bullshyyte.

Dont let me open the pandora box and tell the whole world why Obi was removed, and who was behind it all.

We are reserving the story for a well opportuned time, when it really matters to show how weak Obi is.

please go ahead and open the box. At least tell or show us something we don't know

ForumNL:
Why do Igbo hate igbos that marry Yorubas

The hatred is too obvious

PSquare is a typical example, the one that marry Igbo have parted and the one with Yoruba wife that was seen as outcast have his marriage running smoothly but you igbos hate the lady

Igbo hate Yoruba
Igbos vehemently detest igbo that marry Yoruba girl
Any Igbo that marry Yoruba must leave East else the marriage won't last, they will jazz him
Igbos are tribal bigots

You have gone from Igbos hating those that married outside Igbo and narrowed it down to Yorubas. Need I bring another example just like the Peter Obi example? Dumbo!


I think I made mistake by engaging an irredeemable animal in a conversation.

ForumNL:
Mumu, PSquare is a typical example

Any Igbo that marry non Igbo is an outcast in fact he will have to leave East to somewhere else
I know many of them

You and those you know who told you that bullshit and both silly, stupid and foolish.

It's only on Nairaland that I keep learning crazy and outlandish things that never happen.

Why is Peter Obi not an outcast abi you don't know he's not married to an Igbo woman?


You need help from hatred and tribalism that lives permanently in you.

rusher14:
And the solution is to import everything.

When you import you would make more money abi?

your understanding is poor unfortunately.

ForumNL:
Igbo that marry outside igbo is regarded as outcast

In fact, if not determined the marriage will fail

PSquare is a typical example

Tribal bigots

Una go just open mouth dey talk nonsense. Nonsense wey una no fit defend.

Aderewah:
Igbos marry themselves and if they marry outside, it’ll be outside or a beautiful Yoruba woman or otherwise a Yoruba demon. But Igbos never marry Hausa. Is it discrimination or something else?

I don't know if this is even a genuine question or not.

You said if Igbo don't marry themselves they marry Yorubas or outside Nigeria, this shows you don't even understand the eastern part of Nigeria, probably because you haven't left the western part of Nigeria. Nigeria doesn't start and end in Lagos state. Igbo inter marry with people from Akwa Ibom and Cross river than they marry Yorubas. This is obviously due to the closeness of the regions and maybe a little bit of similarities and understanding socially.

Finally, the reason Igbo don't marry Hausas is the same reason Hausas don't marry Igbo. Hausas are predominantly Muslims, Igbos are predominantly Christians.

There's very little conversion from either religion to the other. So this creates a hurdle that prevents either from marrying the other.

Christistruth00:
Service industry that is mostly Local and highly essential for the Country

Over importation runs down Local Manufacturing and Production

It even drains foreign exchange

I agree with most things in your post but not this ones. You don't even know what is truly destroying your economy.

No country on this planet makes everything they consume. I'll stop it there.

maureensylvia:
It happened in June this year, he deserted, tried calling him it was unreachable, His family and the police didn't help either.

I got the idea of complaining to his bank, I went to his bank on August (Access bank) they asked me why I didn't come all these while that he withdrew the last part of the money 4 days before I came!!! E pain me shaa o

The customer care directed me to court to get a court order to restrict the account, I went to court, got the court order(pics displayed) paid them 10% of the total money. The bank restricted his account.

Yesterday afternoon, I got a call to come over to the bank...the guy was trying to make a transfer but he couldn't which warranted him to go to the bank...
The customer care told me he has 80% of the money in his account that with my consent, they'll unfreeze it and pay me or I can wait till it's complete and take all... they were certain because it's a salary account... money must enter.

Though the guy pleaded with me to be paying 20k monthly buy omooorr I don't think I'll have such patience. The bank told him to be paying the 20k into his account till it completes.

so the ball is now in my court

All thanks to Access bank

these ones are trying to market access bank as a good bank.

A clown.

That's why the criminally but smary took away your victory from you.

emmaodet:
Well. If it not taxable then it is not a bad.
Any wise person will squeeze himself to save

Yes, wise people always do. But majority of people aren't so wise.
Another thing you should know is that we all come from different backgrounds, it's easier for someone who doesn't have debts of any kinds to repay and little to no other responsibilities asides oneself, to save. Than for one with all that baggages.

Other things are cities were they reside. Some cities are crazy expensive such that the only cheap parts of the cities are crime infested. There's a lot to consider sha.

emmaodet:
This average income. Is it pre/post tax?

Pre tax.

People who earn such amount typically don't pay tax. I think they run a progressive taxing system. Where the more you earn the more tax(in percentage) you pay. There's a minimum amount before you start paying tax, I don't know the exact figure but $31k might be below those getting taxed.

Emyogalanya:
what if we say i built a house with N10m in ngria, and i convert the amount in dollars and showed it to someone who stayz in the usa wont he say its cheap? And buhari is working. So why are nigerians complaining

In everyone of my post on this thread I've not done any kind of conversion to the naira. My interactions has been 100% based on the value of the dollar right there in the USA. $1800 is not a small amount of money.

Social media, celebrities, fraudsters and people with questionable sources of wealth would have you believe otherwise. It is not a small amount of money. Also know that I'm not saying $1800 is worth anything more than what it is.

Emyogalanya:
This ur point holds no water. 1800 in any local currency is not much abeg. Except wen converted. Its the conversion thats giving u headache. Within the us its a little amount. Just the other day one actor said he spent 800k to barb his hair. Simple maths

You couldn't even bring a solid opposing opinion to support your claim that my point holds water, isn't that funny?

Bro, anybody that tells you $1800 is not a huge amount of money anywhere in the world is lying to you bro. They're lying to you.

The average income in the US is $31k per year. That would be broken down to $2580+ per month. So, you mean to tell me that ~70% of the average income earner's salary in the US is a little amount of money . Omo sha!

Remember average income is not the least income.

The fact that you use celebrity lifestyle to gauge what is big or little doesn't help your argument.

Just so you know, people who some people don't earn upto $1800 in the US per month.
