Thanks for the correction. I appreciate.

I am sure if you read closely enough, you may find other bad spellings or bad grammar.

Some Nigerians japa abroad to earn better. The Nigerians in Nigeria will sometimes mock them that they are slaves in foreign land.

It may seem that "free" people in Nigeria are worse than the "slaves" abroad that they love to hate.

Slavery in Nigeria? They provide their own security, water, healthcare. They drive on bad roads. Government only exists on paper.
Slaves in plantation in the era of slavery fared a lot better than Nigerians now. In their very presence, their votes are being
manipulated and they can't do squat. The only solution for them is incessant prayers and fasting hoping for miracles because help appears divine.

So what advice can one really give to people in such condition and delude themselves that they are living when infact they are only existing?

The profiles and CV/resume' of Nigerians rarely tally up to their performances. Stellar profiles; mediocre output.

The details of his operations were not specified.

But if it is a Ponzi scheme, he should be granted bail unconditionally. He deserves a National Award for showcasing the unlimited gullibility of Nigerians with money.

You will be surprised that it is easier to see a European leader than a Local Government chairman in Nigeria. They don't have god complex. On normal daily activities, they don't move in 20 cars convoy as if heading to a war front.

Oh boy! How these guys take dey run these things sef🤔? I mean, look at the kind of money these nighas are pulling. Something that might take an entire generation to make legitly..

Please, anyone with a sure update should help a brother. I don't mind your terms and conditions with your lion share percent in tact, because this work of mine is not sustainable, considering how the country is going...

/

I am one of those who support those schemes.

A typical Nigerian is wise and gullible. One stands a better chance convincing people to stop tithes than make them shy away from Ponzi schemes. Whether they are the football gambling addicts, tithe-paying morons or Ponzi scheme victims; they deserve no empathy. Greed is bad.

How do we monitor funds? They are completely nut.

They expect you to stand at the gate with a binoculars, catapult and machete.



It is not just that the politicians are horrible, they talk as if the citizens are retarded.

Putin and Zelensky are far away from battlefield and well-protected. Yet they sit around and stubbornly make decisions that send their men to early grave.

The war would have ended a long time ago if Putin's daughters are in the battlefield or Zelensky's sons are active in the war.

It is not about wearing $1k shirt and $20k watch. One should know how to dress appropriately for an occasion. Pascal Okechukwu should work on his appearance. He looks like an odd one out.

These should be top priority but people are cheering over secondary Coastal highway---good venture but low on the scale of preference. Understandably, it is a conduit to recover funds expended in 2023 election.

APC till eternity! Who dies first loses.

The thing about fighting the government legally is that even if you are innocent and can prove it beyond reasonable doubt, they can still incarcerate you and heavens won't fall. The only language African governments understand is what Boko Haram/ISWAP is speaking.

Nnamdi Kalu used to command huge followings. The greatest harm to his reputation was the enforced locked down and rampant kidnapping/killing of his people. How can those who abandoned their communities for years still support MNK? The perpetrators used his name--that's all that matters. Most people cannot differentiate among AutoPilot, BLA and IPOB/ESN. They dress and act alike while calling Biafra and Nnamdi Kalu.

Once his accolytes turned their guns on his people, he destroyed all the goodwill people have on him. The only support he gets now is because of the hypocrisy in the way FG handles bandits up North.

/

hopexter:
It’s high time these our brothers in the North defend themselves from this endless killing. Bokoharam is just killing sporadically irrespective of ethnicity or religion, it high time they come together and defend themselves. Government only comes when the terrible deeds have been done.

/

They are busy being law-abiding citizens while waiting for death. That's the most stupid excuse by cowards. If they know how Boko Haram deters military and police from arresting them, the communities should apply the same tactics against invasion by military and police if they choose to arm and defend themselves.

/

/
They will dig their own wells for water, provide their own electricity and now provide their own security. But by January, the FG will want to collect 25% tax from them for nothing. Only in Nigeria. Of course, the millions of keyboard warriors can only complain and comply. Worst case scenario, they turn the extortion into comedy skits.

I stand with VDM

Nigerians should order straight from Chinese companies. But before they do, they better do intensive research on how Chinese companies scam people by taking their funds and not fulfilling their part of the obligation. I believe that if MMM could wipe gullible Nigerians, the Chinese companies should be allowed to partake in the swindle.

Every reputable importer understands the importance of Nigerian agents in China. They need someone to handle the logistics. Most importantly they need someone present to supervise the goods and ensure no hanky-panky on the Chinese side.

How do you sue a business in China?

Everyone is screaming about the insecurity in Nigeria except those Nigerians who haven't been affected personally. It is quiet absurd that people are still bragging about APC and its conquest or lack thereof in governance.

How will you feel if that lady turns out to be Ngeneukwuenu? Would you care one bit? I don't think so.

Kukutente23:
Funny enough Daniel (or is it Esau) Bwala is from Borno the very birthplace of Boko haram which means he should be aware that the targets of Boko haram attacks were Christians at its onset.

Being a northern Christian, one will feel he should be very much aware of the ethnic cleansing and targeted genocide carried out on Christians in the Middle Belt, and even their social, economic and political suppression

But here he is for a pot of porridge, he's denying the pains of his own people and in retrospect, denying his own very self.

/
You are funny!

They are talking politics while you talk religion.
At his level and connections, do you think Mr. Daniel doesn't know the inner workings of Boko Haram and their sponsors?

What's religion got to do with it? If it is about religion, they won't be attacking mosques and muslims too.

leicestercamper:
You are a liar. Awka is the best Igbo city. Awka is better than the glorified village Owerri and Umuahia. Awka is a beautiful city both night and day and have beautiful night life. Awka has expanded massively. City of Awka is bubbling with activities from hospitality to entertainment and now the fun city which is the only of its type in Igboland has continued to attract visitors from all over the southeast. Awka millennium city is the single most planned and modern city in Igboland. Awka is the hospitality capital of Igboland. Awka has the widest inner city road in Igboland. This road is not express but inner city roads.

/

Why is it always this road (from different angles) that supporters of the maladministration show all the time?

Let's see the road from Unizik temp site to Okpuno
Let's see the roads behind Government House
Show the roads and adjacent streets from Dora Akunyili center into Okpuno
Show the road from the overpass to Ekwunife's hotel to Queens' Suites and environs.
Show the road from Aroma junction to Unizik Permanent site.

Please don't tell us about the 500m Abakiliki street that "psychophants" brag about.

Where do we even start? Awka is a mess. Aerial view of Awka may look appealing until you drive into the town. For sure, Soludo couldn't even transform Awka to 0.0000000000000000000000000000001% of Dubai/Taiwan claim.

/

/
They deserve it.

Don't waste your empathy on them.

They will still vote in their current senators and governor for a loaf of bread and 2 cups of garri.

owobokiri:
Much Ado about nothing..
Truth is that Soludo seems to have glaringly run out of ideas.. It's frustrating to watch.
Administration no be beans..
To be a good governor or president, you need to have a strong vision anchored on strong self beleifs.. Then you need to get the best minds to manage those visions by objectives, in order to transform the visions into realities..

Soludo might want the best for Anambra state. He might have the skills to do so. But he seem desperately running short of a real plan to work with.
You work with a plan. If he has to borrow, let him borrow because even if he doesn't borrow just to score cheap political points, the next guy to take over will do so..., and the next guy might be a crook..

He is doing the roads, yes. But are the of the "Dubai" quality that he promised? No!
Fun city! The private sector can't do this?

Where is the Awka masterplan?
Where is the plan for the water treatment facility at Onitsha?
How about a serious plan for an integrated power project?
Onitsha main market is an eyesore! Are we going to leave it at the same state it has been since the end of the war?

Any plans on regional economic integrations in the east with his fellow eastern governors?
When are we seeing high-rises to match the exploding population of hardworking men in Anambra? I mean, even the new APC recruit at Enugu has such plans..
What about the "clusters of industries" in and around Awka, Nnewi and Onitsha

Soludo should do better..
To whom much is given, much is expected..
We are not expecting much when we raise the bar for him.. I mean, he is a professor for heavens sake!

/

Transforming Awka to a city is a Herculean task. It may seem like mission impossible. At night, the town turns to a village. The beauty of Awka is along the Enugu-Onitsha expressway during the day only. It is such a weird town. From the Dora Akunyili Center to the back of the Government House all the way to UniZik Permanent site, one can easily mistake it for Angwan Rogo.

The only thing happening in Awka is UniZik. Many of those buildings in Awka are students' hostels and services that carter to students. Once students go on extended holidays or ASUU strike, the town shuts down almost completely.

SE and mediocre public buildings

The only thing nice about that building is the sign post.

Funds for 2027 election has to be laundered one way or the other. By next year, they will start refurbishing the four refineries again. After election, they will be declared unsalvageable again.

In this new era of Wokeism, top tier universities have turned to breeding grounds for absurdity. Most current researches are geared towards making women and LGBTQ+ communities feel good about themselves. Some of them are disputing XX and XY chromosomes to pander to the Trans community, then try to redefine male and female.

What prompted the research? It is more of a pat on the back than factual inferences. By the way, the story is written by Emily Standley Allard--a known militant feminist that writes for msn. Oh well...

Let's assume that this is not AI video The mother and babies picture looks like it.

Unnecessary drama! He should come out and do what Nigerians know best---begging!

I am sure Ultrasound showed that the wife was carrying 6 babies. It ain't no surprise.

stonemasonn:
Oga, 400-1,200 soldiers is a lot of soldiers. Except they were poorly armed, you'd need thousands of BH fighters to overwhelm such a large force.

/
I guess you underestimate the power of 50 Boko Haram fighters with 50 cal guns with seemingly unlimited ammo and RPGs springing up a surprise attack on a Battalion with 1000 soldiers ( each armed with Ak-47 and only 2 magazines with foundation on low morale). It is known as ambush for a reason. The element of surprise! Knowing Nigerian soldiers, many of them will be there pressing phones and not paying attention.

US has operatives in Nigeria under NGO, some kind of employment or some kind of obscure roles that gather intels about Nigeria. We remember back in the day when Cable published how Nigerian top officials were visiting US Ambassador and singing like birds. I can guarantee you that US Ambassador in Nigeria knows exactly all the ingredients in Tinubu's gbegiri and breakfast every morning. Mr Boulos is just cashing out on the ignorance of the Nigerian political class.

The strength of US comes from her 750 military bases in 80 different countries worldwide. Only God knows the quantum of information being gathered. No other country comes close.

I can't wait to see the 2026 tax reform implementation. For a country where citizens provide their own healthcare, electricity, water and security; I really want to know the morons that will pay the money to government coffers for politicians to use in buying mansions abroad.

If savings from subsidy removal didn't earn any positive results, even 90% tax rate will make no dents. Everyone is already running into APC so that their profligacy will be unchallenged. Sadly it is the hapless citizens that are cheering them on.

Rubbish!

When it comes to sexual fulfilment in marriage, to what extent are Christian couples allowed to explore sex?

There are certain sexual patterns in marriage that are ungodly. They do not glorify God e.g. anal sex.

Married Christian couples are free to enjoy sex to the fullest, but must be sensitive and watchful in not engaging in abominable sex pattern.

It is as if humans invent laws for God as they go.

Bad characters should not be excused on Gen Z shenanigans. There are many responsible Gen Zs breaking barriers in different spheres of life. Go to Science, Medicine and Engineering departments in different universities, those students are Gen Z and younger. Either she wants to be married or she belongs to the street. She cannot be married and keep friends with young girls that want to party, drink and smoke. It is a choice she has to make.

Ned really tolerated her nonsense too long.

With the way Nigerian government pampers terrorists, it is foolish for any group of young men in the North not to form one. It is the blanket that offers immunity to crime. Even when caught, they are treated like royalties, celebrities and left go unpunished. The political influence and connections that come with banditry in the North cannot be gotten through polls. So why won't there be proliferation of terrorists in the North? It comes with guaranteed results.

seunmsg:
Depends on the person. The responsibilities of an unmarried man in his early twenties earning 500k cannot be compared to that of another married man with four children and a wife to cater for. The young guy will be able to save if he’s prudent while the married guy will struggle to manage the salary monthly without taking additional loan.

/
A single Nigerian man earning N500k/month would save less than a family man earning the same. The single guy will be living like he earns N5m per month on clubbing, ladies, car modifications and everything else there is to impress others on his status. This is Nigeria.
