Oh stop this joor, every Nigerian is complaining. Igbos are just crying silently because Peter Obi did not win the election. The truth is no region is immune from the pain of economic hardship, don’t let the Igbos lie to you.

eastcoast100:
Sometimes, you guys talk like foolllls...You talk as if na only igbos die, as if numerous Nigerians did not die.Nigeria lost numerous soliders too, including your forw father's.
Again, stop believing it is going to be business as usual when the war erupted cos cowarddds like you always believe war with Nigeria is a walk over

Lol, the real foolish ones are your fathers and grand fathers who fed you with lies. The same arrogance that led scores of your fathers to their early grave is going to push you and your fellow idiots to think war is a joke. Only foolish people fail to learn from history.

Lol, every igbo with a business and a mansion is a billionaire. But guess what, they air for Forbes list of African richest, you won’t find up to 10 on it.

gidgiddy:
And yet you cannot even say what caused the civil war because you do not know

ofcourse I do but you still won’t accept it cos it doesn’t fit your narrative, it doesn’t put the Igbos as victims but rather puts Ojukwu as the villain that dragged millions of people to a war they were incapable of winning.

Madups:
you well at all?

That’s a question for you and your elders…

gidgiddy:
If people like you bothered to reas Nigerian history, you would know it was Gowon who caused the war by not abiding to the agreement he signed with Ojukwu in Ghana

No you’re wrong, the main issue is that people like you are trying to re-write history. I know that’s a convenient lie your elders told you but try and pick up books and read. I’ve read books on the Nigerian civil war, written by Nigerians. I’m very well aware that what caused the civil war wasn’t aburi meeting. But you see, if that lie makes you sleep well at night continue to live with it. However, note that it is foolish to do same thing twice and expect a different result.

arantess:
Shut your lying gob....

Why did gowon renege on aburi accord after agreeing in Ghana?.

No wonder they removed history so fools like you will wallow in ignorance

It is your father and ancestors that are fools. Everyone knows your tribesmen are generally fools who hardly learn from history. You know what, start another war again with your foolishness and you will see your fathers and children die like rats. Very senseless set of people. Nobody will allow you to re-write history, find out from your elders, if there are still any sensible one, if the agreement at Aburi included war once it is not met. Idiotic fool.

Igbos are so difficult to understand you know. You keep blaming others for a war started by an igbo man. A war that all and sundry begged him not to start, a war that caught the FG unawares because they weren’t interested in it and didn’t do anything until Ojukwu sent men to attack.

The only person you should be telling that the war was needless, useless and infantile is Ojukwu that started it.

Since naa, dis na old news. I dey use regular WhatsApp and business WhatsApp on my phone. Pls tell me more.

In the end it’s obviously a game of the Powerful and the Conquered. So there are superpowers and there are the conquered. Once you annoy one super power (America), the super power will threaten to ask the other super power (Russia) on the other side to wage war against you, as a means to keep you in check . In the end you’ll realize that there’s no difference between US and Russia, all super powers want the same thing, dominance, submission and colonization, the only difference is in the methodology.

Eastern European nations will later on realize that the safest thing to do is to make peace with their Neighbour ((Russia) as running to NATO won’t really give them the protection they desire.

It is rather an abuse of word to call Peter Obi intelligent. That’s a lie from the pit of hell, even his wife will disagree with you on that.

Fucking liar!!!

Hmmm I can relate with it as a Canadian resident. For my part- time job, see my exchange with one of my clients:

Client: Hey

Me: Hi, how are you doing? (Not that I really mean to know how’s he’s doing but it’s a form greeting I’ve adopted since I was in pry school as a Nigerian).

Client: Oh I’ve been in pain for the past few days, the pain isn’t going down at all.

Me: Awww I’m so sorry about that. ( genuinely from my heart).

Client: (looking at me shocked), why are you sorry? It’s not your fault, you didn’t put the pain there.

Me: Oh well I’m sorry, I’m just used to that.

Client: Lol, you just did it again

Me: really? I’m sorry

Client: Lol

Relocation is like being born again, it’s a total new life, you’ll need to learn, relearn and unlearn.

I went to a hospital early this morning, Can you imagine no one is even saying good morning to each other? Just a minimum of Hi or Hello. If you dare say good morning, no one answers.

Some of them even look shocked when you say good morning, like I don’t understand that.

1Sharon:
Why should she be specific? If she was specific, it won't be so relatable.

Oh so you think or feel relatable to be called a criminal for no reason? Sometimes I wonder how people think, I wonder if you people know these guys opinion go farther than you think? I live in Canada and I’ve met people voice out their incorrect opinion about people, continent, tribe, life based on things they heard on the internet. Do you even know that custom officials and other security agencies gather information like this on the internet? They use it to make judgment about people moving from border to border. I just hope one day Africans would stop misusing internet.

1Sharon:
This issue is widespread! It's allover the continent. People from Kenya, South Africa are complaining about the same thing.

I agree it is widespread but they should be specific each time. It is wrong of me to put all Africans or Nigerians in convo that involve how my family members treated me. That’s wrong.

Don’t be stupid, be specific on the country you send money to and kindly tag your family members you’re calling out. It is stupid of you to be calling out a continent and even a whole nation for the irresponsibility of your family members.

Nigerian government and her citizens are completely disconnected. When oil price dropped to all time low record during covid-19 (like 10 dollars per barrel), Nigerian govt it badly but we the citizens didn't feel anything. That's what happens when the Govt is useless to her citizens.

We didn’t feel the impact because as at the time, we had enough reserves (dollars in reserve) to cushion the effect. Now the reserves have dried up, there’s no dollar to defend the naira, hence the reason for the fall in naira value and present hardship. But you see, for decades, experts have been telling successive governments that our dependence on crude oil sale and huge importation will one day backfire.

Today, crude oil sale has dropped, but we still heavily import, as in Nigeria’s size of annual importation is massive, we import almost everything, and our export is so insignificant. Take for example, an individual whose annual salary is #2.5m but is total annual spending is #25m. That’s the Nigerian situation, your importation size shouldn’t outrageously outweigh your exportation size. China sits as the number 1exporting country in the world, every country in today’s world has Chinese product on their shelves. China’s export size far outweighs its import size, do you know it got so bad that Chinese people started complaining that it was useless for them to go on vacation, because anytime they go shopping while on vacation, all they see around are Chinese products that they left back in China.

Nigeria needs to opt its export game, but the truth is, exportation is a reflection of economic activities, economic activity can’t be significantly promoted in a country with huge insecurity and corruption like Nigeria.

I rest my case for now.

maasoap:
That might even be good, in fact better for Nigerians. It is not as if Nigerians are benefiting from the high price of crude, directly or indirectly. At least, a fall in price in international market will mean cheaper price in Nigeria too.
Nigeria is not a country where drop in revenue for the Govt will be felt by the citizens, that's for countries where citizens benefit from the Govts interventions, projects and welfare packages.

Did you just say Nigeria is a country where drop in government revenue would not be felt by the people? Lol, you really don’t know what you’re saying. What do you think is the cause of the present free fall in Naira? It is because FG revenue has dropped significantly and do not have sufficient dollar to meet demand. The demand for dollar payments (via our huge importation, international payments, loan servicing etc.) has far outgrown Supply (via revenue that comes majorly from crude oil). If the price of crude oil should magically surge to $200 as it used to be, Nigeria’s revenue would triple and govt would have sufficient fund to meet demand, thereby reducing pressure on Naira. You need to read more on how it works, but I understand your annoyance about a government that has no positive impact on the people.

The day they took the light out for 3 mins here to do some maintenance. They brought doughnuts, ice cream and burgers to apologize . I remember when internet went out for just 5 mins, the next day the internet company was here to double check everything. The funny thing is the light bills and internet bills here are even lesser than in Nigeria. It's really terrible and to be honest the current Nigeria you are experiencing is paradise compared to the Nigeria in the next few years.

People living in Nigeria should brace up for tough times lie ahead. Crude oil price will progressively fall in coming years and that’s a chaotic issue for Nigeria, as earnings would drop further and the country won’t have enough to service debts, pay for importation of goods and even run the government. That will further put pressure on Naira, making it to deep further. May God help us all.

Another opportunity to illegally and fraudulently use the bank’s funds as they like. It is well with Naija

Nairaland can’t grow if the owner and moderators allows just any gutter news to hit the front page. This news is false and totally incorrect. Tiwa Savage is worth $17b really? The write must be smoking weed.

Mr. Accidental discharge Weldone!😂😆

It is not that simple bro!!!!!!!!!!😂🤣😆😉

Tharealisrael:
That submission is what women find difficult to do these days..they believe they are equal to the man.

You are partially right but men too have problems with loving their wives as required. Love is more than flowers, money, gifts and sweet words oh.

The best way to make a relationship work is for both parties to concentrate on what they need to do to submit/love their partner as required. Once you focus on what your partner is not doing and neglect paying attention to those things you should be doing, trouble is near.

For as long as we continue to ignore the word of God on marriage on other issues, some intelligent but limited in knowledge writers will continue to tell us what we need to sustain marriage, they’ll say one thing today, another tomorrow, they’ll write an encyclopedia on what you need to know to have a successful marriage, but the more they do, the more marriages fail, because those writings including the one up here can not and will never help sustain marriage. The only advice that sustains marriage is in the word of God: Husband love your wife, Wives obey your husbands. Any other thing na gibberish.

One day you people will realize that there are three groups of obidients; the IPOB members, Innocent Igbos and other Nigerians who like PO. However, the last 2 groups are gullible, as they are unaware they are being used by the first group, IPOB members. They are supporting PO because it’s their only way to Aso Rock. They will mock and insult anyone, regardless of ethnic group, including Igbos who don’t believe in PO.

LordIsaac:
I thought love was unconditional? All this pretense charade called marriage, I just laugh. The true definition of marriage ended with people born in the 60’s! Quote me daily. There is no caveat for the “for better or worse vow” taken when two people become married.

Lol, marriage is now purely transactional.

obesse:
If the woman likes let her leave jare! What is the big deal? God will surely provide someone else who will take better care of the man.
And for the children let them turn against the father who spent all his productive years training then. They are inviting strange curses that would last 4 generations.
You think to be a father is easy?
As a man do the best you can do. Don't allow any woman trick you into doing what you cannot handle!

Your post is full of assumptions. Mind you, the first on the list of wining your children’s love as a Father, is treating their mum right. Most children won’t forgive a man who treated their mum wrongly regardless.

obesse:
Rubbish! Have you not seen or heard of many cases where some men gave everything they could, yet the vagina people treated them with disdain at the end of the day?
Imagine a Nigerian woman who said:"I am no longer in love with my husband who brought me to London"
Besides, even women need to behave well, respect and support their husbands the best way they can, because dementia or other health issues can attack the woman while the husband is still strong kakaraka!
Women cannot use this type of wayo to threaten men o. Inugo?

There’s no need to sound bitter about it but I agree it goes both ways. However, note that a woman would easily be taken by her son or daughter at old age but it is more difficult for a man. Anyone can have a bad old age experience I agree but it is more easier for one than the other. In the end, May we not end up with our enemy as spouse.

Hmmm Men need to be careful, we must treat our wives right cos of old age. The major reason why Joke Silva is still there taking care of him is cos he treated her and the children well. She doesn’t fail to state it, meaning that if the experience was otherwise, she would have left.

I’ve heard stories of men who were maltreated by their wives at old age cos of what they had done in their active years.

Men must know that the only person that would be there in the end is your wife, so treat her right and pay it forward.

Ofcourse naa, for selfish reasons. Only a naive coalition movement will make an 80-year old man their candidate.

This man lacks any cutting edge idea in public governance inspite his youthfulness. He does the bear minimum while sitting on State allocation, LG allocation and security allowance. It’s a shame that these guys are never bothered about the plight of the poor. There’s a lot of initiatives that a State Governor can drive that would bring meaningful economic impact.

I tell people savings is very easy. If I were in your shoes, this is what I’ll do.

Step A: I’ll assume I earn 300k, the truth is if you earn less than that or you lose your job (God forbids it), heaven will not fall, so why not make the decision now for the greater good?

Step B: Open an investment account with one of the investment companies (ARM Managers, Piggyvest, Meristem etc), and set up an automated transfer of the 100k into the investment account monthly.

Step C: Now, open an excel worksheet, categorize your monthly expenses into MUST BUY, SHOULD BUY and COULD BUY.

Step D: Determine the total amount for the MUST BUY, and then spread the remaining amount, if any, on the SHOULD BUY and COULD BUY.

Step E: Delete items on the COULD BUY AND SHOULD BUY in that order, those are things that if anyone losses his/her job won’t be able to afford or things that if you don’t buy no one will die. Get rid of them, they are largely nothing but indulgences.

I hope you’ll find this useful.

I save about 55% of my monthly pay, although not with a family as big as yours for now. But the truth is, my mindset is that the money you save at month end is actually the amount you paid yourself for the work done. The amount consumed is the money you spent for living.

Everyone working must learn to pay him or herself.

Today, I just decided to place an order for 2 items, as a way to gift myself in the new year. I haven’t done that in a year and I don’t really do that as a habit. This is because savings and investment are priorities.
