One major misconception people have about Igbo is that they think all Igbos are one unit. It was when the white man came that we have a geography called Igbo, prior to that what was available were settlements and each unique in their own way. There are towns in Imo whose origins are Okirika and they call them Umuokirika (you can Google) they have been living in present day Imo for centuries and they still acknowledge their origin which is Okirika. My grandpa used to tell us that we have relatives in Imo that settled there a long time ago, the state creation in Nigeria did not take cognizance of familial affiliation and it is stupidity to think that all Igbos are the same. Infact after I did an extensive research I had realised that more than 10 large towns in Imo are from Rivers, just as the Ndonis have same dialect and culture with part of Anambra. It is people who are from Rivers that are supposed to bring in our brothers who are in Imo because most Imo communities have origin in Rivers. The Ozuzu community scattered around Mbano, Mbaise, and Mbaitoli all originated from the ancient kingdom of Ozuzu in Etche Rivers. Hence I do not bother myself with people whose family has no name or history to cloud my judgement about Igbos and Rivers

Great insight. I appreciate, but telling an Igbo man that some Igbos are originally from Rivers is the last thing he'll believe. I don't even want to argue this Igbo vs Rivers things. Let's just stay as one Nigeria forever or disintegrate into 4-6 nations.

SSpeter:
It depends on the part of Rivers you are from, and your family affiliation. Despite being from Rivers, Isiokpo to be precise and my mum being from Imo, I have always seen myself as Igbo, infact I speak it and when we travel to my mum's place we share same values. Our dialects may differ just like how an Anambra dialect is different from an Owerri. Infact my cousins can understand my dialect better than an Igbo from Ebonyi or Enugu ... perhaps, you are from the southern part of Rivers who are clearly not Igbo, like the IJaws, Kalabari and Okirika....

You have a point, but these Igbo guys that arrogantly say Rivers is Igbo don't care about this thing you wrote. All they know is: River is Igbo and nothing else. It's annoying and insulting. This is like calling an Arab man a caucasian. He'll be offended.

Since they can't let us rest in claiming Rivers to be Igbo, I'm also happy the Hausas can't let them rest too in achieving their Biafra. What goes around comes around. Let's stay united as one Nigeria for ever and not leave one another.

Rahkman:
shut up egbema for rivers and egbema for imo state weytin differentiate them??

Come and carry Rivers state. We don leave am for you. Must you always want to associate with us by force? Learn to love yourself and leave people who don't want you.

Rahkman:
we no dey talk about drunk ijaw ppl no ddy whine urself nobody dey claim una

I'm not even Ijaw or any of those other ones. Let's assume I was, I would've loved it also. I just love how obsessed you people are with Rivers state. Small thing, Rivers is Igbo. Nwabali is Igbo, blah blah blah. His name is Igbo, so he's Igbo. So, all those Nigerians answering English names are from England? Anyway, this dragging us makes me feel good. Who doesn't want to be desired?

Since we're not talking about drunk Ijaw people, let's talk about pushing drugs, being insincere in everything and producing fake products at any given opportunity while ruining the reputation of Nigeria abroad with crime.

BOSSkesh:
Must you use nylon
Why not take it with your hand

Your kind will abuse him and call him show off if he's holding it. Ordinary Eva water wey we dey carry for hand, people dey gossip dey abuse while calling it show off.

Umuinyioku:
Rubbish post!

Rest. As a Niger Deltans, I'll continue to act as a father figure when my 3 big kids fight.

criuze:
Whose next to blame


Maybe opay

They'll blame Mohbad. Why must he die? He died and the Naira wants to die with him.

After Mohbad's blame, they'll blame China (Alibaba, 1688, and AliExpress) for making Nigerians convert their Naira to Dollar or Yuan to buy things from their stores.

After that, they'll ban Aba people from using steady light. They'll say the Geometric power plant is generating too much heat and it's affecting the Naira.

If that one doesn't work, the president will call Buhari to mobilise Fulani herdsmen to behead any Nigerian that complains. In the end, there was a country.

AustineE1:
It seems you Yorubas are the least intelligent,everytime you say a word,you are so easily decoded.Anyway enjoin your self deception.

Mr. Decoder, your remote isn't working.

Take me out of your big 3 tribal nonsense. I love how you 3 big tribes always fight and reconcile when Nigeria is playing football.

When I see Hausas, Yorubas and Igbos fight online, I always want to support the Igbos, then I regain my senses and stay neutral.

When 3 kids fight, there should be a father figure to separate them (Niger Delta).

So, I don't give a f*ck if 3 of you hate one another. All I care about is: after the fight, reconcile, watch football together, defend Nigeria online together when other countries abuse us, and when you're done, come meet daddy (Niger Delta), through your governor for you state allocation.

As a father, our job is to feed and separate our children when they fight.

That's all. Free Nnamdi Kanu, but one Nigeria forever.

I'm not Yoruba, I'm not Igbo and I'm not Hausa. I'm the father of Nigeria (Niger Delta).

We, the Niger Deltans, are the reason Nigeria is still standing and for that, we've assumed the father-figure position. Don't expect us to engage in any stupid fight online or offline. If we must fight, it's about resource control and nothing more.

MFs Binance waves
I hate those guys

I don't hate them. I follow their calls sometimes and make profit, but they're very manipulative. You just need to be cautious when listening to them.

Rahkman:
Ronu ppl go be like he is not igbo he is rivers

I'm from Rivers, not Igbo, but I love how Igbos always claim us. This makes me feel good and wanted. Knowing that there is someone who can do anytime to keep us and Igbos united gives me joy. Na pikin wey get money, popular, or fine na him people dey like associate with.

In the name of being united, I love how the Hausas don't want Nigeria to split. We die here. The marriage is forever. Hausas and Igbos are one.

I love how our governors always welcome any Rivers man/woman who achieves something for the state or the country like a royal.

This is a sign of encouragement for the rest of us. It may seem unnecessary, but appreciation is part of moral support for the rest of us who are watching from home.

Omah Lay should win Grammy let's welcome him too.

You see this long wick in the image below? I was among the people that were used for sacrifice.

I started shorting when it pumped 50% and was probably at $10. I had no stop loss. A group called Binance Wave pumped it to $41 in few minutes just to hurt us. When they were done, they posted on their Telegram laughing with the caption, "We nuked those mõfos."

When I was bleeding, my hands started shaking. I lost my senses and I didn't even remember there is something called "close all positions."

About 5 other coins did this to me 2 years ago and this made me understand lots of things and developed strategies around it.

Also, it made me not to place so much value on money because you can lose it all at anytime.

If God gives Herbert Wigwe a second chance to come back to life, but he'll forfeit all he has and starts life afresh, he'll gladly accept it.

The summary is: Money is just a flying paper. Don't be too emotionally attached to it for the sake of your mental health and to avoid heart attack.

Work with what you can lose and still smile. Even after making this money that brings so much joy, it could still take your life when you want to spend and enjoy it. So, have a strategy, but be emotionally detached to a good extent.

This type of image below will happen multiple times this year and next, so be prepared.

In fact, TRB has already done it this year.

Buhari will be so happy he truly achieved this. He'll be eating suya with toothpick while laughing.

Just doing a routine check like an officer on my exchanges and one of them made me laugh hard.

The exchange has sacked some workers and they hacked it and wrote this. Don't mess with your smart workers. If you want to sack them, do it intelligently because they can harm your business.

leo2sexy:
Do you know any? I can contact you privately.

No, I don't.

Raddiesy47:
Where u wan see money pay them

Each state will start learning how to generate income to pay them.

I'm really happy garri is gaining the "big man food" status it deserves. You people used to look down on farmers, but now you know who's your source of strength.

Without farmers, no one will be online. We'll all be dead. They're more important than doctors and lawyers combined. There was a time there were never doctors or lawyers on Earth. Those professions were man made to distract us from nature and herbs, but food? It's divine and eternal. Nothing against being a doctor and a lawyer—I'm only giving an example.

Let's put some respect on farmers.

leo2sexy:
Hello

Since binance has decided to end NGN on soot trading is there any other platform that trade NGN/USDT on sppt ? Please help a brother.

Even if people know...fill in the blank. Crypto is gradually becoming a secret society in Nigeria and you know how they operate to avoid giving out intel to the world. You don't know who is who, so even people who know the answer will ignore you and it's the right thing to do at this moment.

Lucasinho:
Boss do you make use of this app.... which app is a better alternative to it?

I make use of lots of tools, but when it gets overwhelming, I withdraw. Below are some.

CBN 1590-1591
B-M 1600-1620

20-30 Naira difference.

Banning Binance wasn't the main solution, but it helped a little bit by reducing the rate at which these politicians were converting their billions of ₦ to $ via Binance.

Though, it will still fall this year because when you're ruled by corrupt people, lower your expectations. Their good is always with a motive to steal at last while stopping the first sets of people who were stealing before them.

Even if prices increase to a million, they are still cheap. No Nigerian is poor — they can afford it.

SaintUlot:
...

I typed a reply for this twice, but deleted them because I don't want to argue. You have some points there, but most business people don't just buy when prices go up impulsively like that. They wait and monitor the market first. Same thing with crypto.

Whether a Nigerian buys something or not from another country, whenever price goes up, they increase, but will never reduce when it goes down.

Business is not only about profit, but reputation and keeping your customers too. Loyal customer base equals longevity and more profits. Even Dangote runs losses at times too.

I used to buy from Amazon and AliExpress, but
I mostly use 1688, other Chinese sites or local sites like Jumia and Konga now.

So, I'm not an outsider. Increase? Yes, but reduce when it goes down and incur some loss too just the same way your customers incur financial loss when you increase price on your old stock just because Dollar went up.

Yes, I know the excuse will be: If I don't increase price, I won't have enough money to restock. There is always an excuse.

Wow! That's cheap o. Just a couple of ¢.

Kelklein:
and there were customs stationed on that border route fa

Those ones have already taken their bribe. EFCC was probably expecting a bigger one, but failure to pay may be why they arrested them. No be Nigeria again?

Starboytwo:
With the rate I'm going, I go buy motor this year.

Thank you guys. I appreciate everyone of you.

By now, money of the tyre of the motor must've been removed by BTC going down.

CandidAdmin:
Sigh!!!

What's the point?

The point is, don't depend on your fellow human, because they'll always disappoint you when you need them the most. You'll live a happier life when you're self-sufficient with you and your God and you don't expect anything from a living thing.

That's the life I live. Zero expectations from humans. I guess I unknowingly expect everyone to live my kind of lifestyle, but it's impossible.

CandidAdmin:
Reach out while you can. You never know how long they'll last.

Most of you love to mingle. Some of us prefer being alone and we're so used to it, so we're less emotionally bothered or attached to living things.

We're less bothered when people die, because we know that ours is just a few years ahead.

Life is just a game of survival. Anyone attaching too much emotions to it will regularly get hurt by those who have learned not to based on experience.

Scholace:
can you give me that less than a dollar to have something to eat tomorrow?

I'm actually happy we Nigerians are suffering. I'm even more happy men with more than 4 children are struggling to eat once a day.

At least, his children will learn from experience that being poor and having more than 4 children is stupidity. Also, this suffering will push the youths to be united in having one voice when elections comes. We'll understand all the elections we rig for old men and the bribe we take as corp members, thugs, etc. will come to bite back one way or the other.

I'm currently so heartless towards Nigerians. I'm enjoying the suffering. Zero atom of empathy from me at the moment even though I'm one of the most empathic person.

dietsono:
Can you imagine that, even Haaland is also of the opinion that Messi is obviously been favoured by the body that organises the award. In other words, FIFA PIKIN. I come in peace though

For you to be favoured by humans, it means God has already favoured you in Heaven.

mariahAngel:
Eeeh! Let them stop, so we can know where the problem is coming from.

At least, the economy has been a bit stable of recent.

Current price.

FuckYeyeMods:
This government deserve to be giving a proper support.
It totally shows they know what they're doing.
If its another government, they will ban Nigerians from Binance entirely but they show that they are actually after fixing the loopholes.
Either you support the government or not, we know the president that would have force Binance to close all accounts of Nigerians on binance or completely bare the network.

If it was Buhari, he would assess if Fulani people use Binance and if he notices they're not many, he'll ban it entirely. No matter how terrible any Nigerian president is, Buhari will always be my worst for his max nepotism.

daddio:
RABBI, thou art a man of great knowledge about Crypto and life, we beg thee to please give or share with us good Alt coins that we an invest in.

I don't really tell people alts because it's 50/50, but WLD is here to stay for multiple seasons.
