An average RIVERS man is unexposed ,I travelled I immediately missed Lagos And came back in just 3 months boring people..

Be truthful in your life. Port Harcourt measures up to Lagos, so why will the inhabitants be unexposed.

mrvitalis:
That's the issue ...u guys only want to travel to a place that's an upgrade ?

Igbos are all over the north ...is the north and upgrade ? ... Chinese are a over Nigeria is Nigeria an upgrade ? ..... relatively speaking rivers people don't travel that's a fact I grew up in Port Harcourt

Stella Maris boy calm down. People travel because of available economic opportunities and also because of ease of access to those opportunities. Given Nigeria's indigenous setup, It will be easier for a Riverian to get a job in a company in Rivers than to get same job elsewhere. And like someone said, Only Lagos can be considered an upgrade on Rivers. So it begs the question, why travel out when you have something good here.

This talking about the foreigners in Nigeria need to understand that the Chinese, Americans, Dutch, Italinas etc do not come to Nigeria to seek for Jobs. They come to Nigeria to invest their money and make profits off Nigerians. They are investors and not jobseekers. Let Igbos not confuse themselves, setting up a company to employ persons is not same as buying and selling in shops as usually done by Igbos.

No need to compare foreign investors in Nigeria with Igbos in Katsina and Funtua. Igbos don't create jobs there, they only engage in buying and selling.

Wike is an arrogant fool..

because he 'shunned' Peter Obi master. Wike is bigger than Peter Obi who dares not to offend Atiku.

It's either you have comprehension challenges or just being plain daft. What is bragging about saying that Asaba's nearness to Onitsha has helped it a lot? Is that not the reality on ground? Even someone living in Ogbomosho thinks he has an opinion on Asaba.

Asaba is in fact helping Onitsha. Asaba the capital of an oil state with a functional airport is the real deal. Onitsha is a market.

dennisworld1:
u are not born in warri but ovwian stop claiming warri

Dennis wetin be your problem na. U jus dey counter-quote everybody.

Be like say you be Ishekiri man.

proeast:
Not in the least impressed. For God's sake, this is supposed to be an oil city for several decades and these are all you got!?

Asaba is even more developed and that is in part due to its nearness to Onitsha.

Niger Delta cities ought to be world class cities by now yet all we have are one-horse towns. SMH!

Typical Igbo mentality. Asaba is developed because of Onitsha. Baseless Bragging and unwarranted oversabi dey una DNA.

Nah Ijaw people dey fall hand for Rivers . Ruling small River state una think say una be political genius .

I use to have shop in that Port Harcourt Musical line around 2013- 2015 before I travel out of Nigeria during Election you people will be deceiving us with Igbo Name I can't believe I voted for this Ezenwo against Dakuku abi wetin be his name just because una go carry campaign come our line dey claim and speak Igbo to us

Whiteangel1234:

Make I no talk much shaa because you be Afonja I no get time for you

What do you know about Afonja. You just dey follow follow

Whiteangel1234:
Nsogbu adiro but personally I think i'm done with this Ikwerre issue they can go to hell .

I pray Ijaw people wake up in River state and take back power this Ikwerre they form because of small power they are holding in Rivers since 1999

How dare ordinary 4 local Government people insult Igbo Nation as a whole ?

Some LGAs in Ikwerreland is size of 3LGAs in Anambra or Abia

Igbochief001:
U have a river port ...which well in ikwerre land produce 150,000 barrels ..abi u want to still oyigbo land and oil ? Those ones are proudly igbo ..name the well in ikwerre land that produce the oil

How many barrels is produced in the 5 SE states.

gartamanta:
4 Local governments out of the 23 in Rivers State? Thats where Amaechi will get his core support to be President? At this stage, Amaechi should focus on how to win APC presidential ticket because if he cant, he should forget any presidential ambition

Actually 2.5 of 3.3milliin registered voters in Rivers live in those 4 LGAs. That is why they can continually rule Rivers state.

Igbochief001:
U cares about ikwerre ..u are lazy , socialist , u don't even have oil and u are land locked ..even worse than abia ...get lost go n join benin

Lol go and read letters of Lamentations by obiwali ...then u go calm down

Ikwerre produces about 150,000 barrels a day. Ikwerre has seaport in PH nah. Isn't that Okay. Atleast it is something nah. Manage it.

Whiteangel1234:
Its not about Biafra most of us Igbos in Nairaland are not necessarily Biafra agitators . we are more concern about a United Igbo Nation coming Together dont mix the two

So this insult from the ikewerres is too much unless i'm to believe they are not on Nairaland on what?

We have reach a point where its starting to be clear this people are truly Binis , traitors and sabo we dont need them just noisy 4 local Government area what is their population

What will you give to me, so I can help and go and beg Ikwerre to pity Igbo people small nah. I love fair Igbo girls oh.

Igbochief001:
This same who claim Igbo land is land lock

Abia is closer to the ocean than your ikwerre ...honestly no body needs u in Biafra ...

It's funny how u guys forget all the later obiwali wrote to igbos ...small state power u done start to form boss ...by the time the other igbiod group leave u with ijaws ..your sense go reset

ikwerre is Bini. They speak Bini in ikwerreland. its like you don't know... why will you claim biniland as Igbo land.

Igboid:
Lol!

Ika?
Hmm! Ika is not homogeneous in Igbo denial.
Some communities there like Abavo, Ekwuoma, Igbodo are salvageable.
Even the Biniphilic ones are not really Igbophobic. They just want to be left alone.


But you see Ikwerre? Those ones are born and raised to be toxically Igbophobic. Ogbas are even worst than Ikwerre.
In everything, Ndiigbo must stay clear off Ogba and Ikwerre and never fail to return their hate towards us ten folds back to then.

Oyigbo and Egbema are good. Leave them alone, they will come along.

By the way, OP are you an Igbo from Ijebu Igbo?

Ikwerre do not open threads to sob and wail and shed tears. in their heart and soul, Igbo's are a distinct ethnic nationality just like Hausa. They do not relate. What Ikwerres speak as language, practice as culture and traditions is what is obtainable in Bini . The language is bini-ikwerre. . Pls stop weeping. Bini culture has landed amongst you, embrace and show love.

Difrent:
You "WE" that don't want tinubu don't determine things in Apc....lets even agree with you on this do you think Amaechi will deliver rivers state? I don't think so, with wike fully on ground APC best result will be about 50% of rivers vote while Osinbajo will not only assure us of 80%+ votes of Lagos but the entire south west and edo delta kogi kwara
You just dey over hype Amaechi, he's my man but on this issue I go with my kinsman just as you are going with you kinsman

Let me let you in on an info...

If Amaechi secures APC ticket, Wike and co will deliver Block votes for him, irregardless of party affiliation or whatever quarrels they have.

This is non-debatable. I thought you should know.

Dansuqi:
He will end up like ajimobi

You go fear prayer.. Lolz

This is disheartening.

I smell Lies.

LOOK AT TINUBU's CABINET AS GOVERNOR OF LAGOS

- By Olushola George Olumoroti (OGO)

Lai Mohammed, Chief of Staff from Kwara.
Yemi Osinbajo, Attorney General from Ogun.
Wale Edun, Finance Commissioner from Ogun.
Dele Alake Commissioner for Information from Ekiti
Rauf Aregbesola Commissioner for Works from Osun State.
Akabueze, Commissioner for Budget and Planning from Anambra State.
Femi Lanlehin, SA from Oyo State.
Aurthur Worrey Commissioner for Land from Delta State.
Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, third term Federal House of Representatives member, Representatiing Ikeja Federal Constituency - From Kogi State
To name a few.
For the eight years that he ruled Lagos, he hired several guys to work with him. Apart from using them to work in his government, he also groomed them politically.
Twelve years down the line, see where those Tinubu guys are today -
1. Prof Yemi Osinbajo, SAN was Tinubu's Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice. He is today, Nigeria's Vice President.
2. Rauf Aregbesola was Tinubu's Commissioner for Works. Today he is a Minister after serving 8 years as Governor of Osun State.
3. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN was Tinubu's Chief of Staff. Today he is a Minister after 8 years as governor of Lagos State.
4. Alhaji Lai Mohammed was Tinubu's first Chief of Staff and Commissioner. Today, he is a Minister of Information.
5. Babatunde Fowler was appointed by Tinubu as Chairman of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service. He is the immediate past Federal Inland Revenue Service Executive Chairman.
7. Sunday Dare was SA/ COS to Tinubu, today he is a Minister.
8. Babajide Sanwo-Olu was Tinubu's Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, he is now Governor of Lagos State.
At the National Assembly, there are countless "Tinubu boys" who have occupied and are still occupying seats till today including N0 4 citizen of Nigeria, Speaker, House of Reps.
Since 1999, the Tinubu camp has produced almost 98% of the members of the National Assembly from Lagos State. Forget politics, this man is a political enigma. Rewind to 1999, I am sure most of us have forgotten the names of the People who were elected Governors when he was elected governor too, some of them have gone into political extinction or gasping for breath politically. Indeed, most of them are no longer relevant today.
Tinubu has not only managed to remain extremely relevant, he has continued to control Lagos politics 100%. Not only that, he manages to carry his boys along and today they occupy critical positions in our national life. Take it or leave it, Tinubu is today, Nigeria's most powerful politician. It didn't just happen by chance. He worked very hard for it. Very very hard. The hallmark of a true leader is not just the ability to rule well but also the ability to nurture and groom associates.
Tinubu is not like some other politicians in Nigeria, He is a goal getter.....
There is nothing he touches that doesn't excel.
- AD excelled,
- ACN excelled and
- APC is excelling..
- TVC is one of the top TV stations in Nigeria and, The Nation is one of the leading newspapers in Nigeria. The APC bigwig also owns 5 star hotels and estates in Lagos.
- He makes people,
- He follows up on them.
- He forgives routinely,
- He fights to teach not to kill
- He is a Pillar of Democracy,
- Mentor of great men
JAGABAN is a great man

Nigeria is not Lagos!!!

All his men in NEC couldn't stop the dissolution of NWC. So kini kan??

Eteka1:
Obaseki will be made to loose the election.
Amaechi and his group will loose out in the power tussle.
APC will become a stronger unit.
Mark this words.

Your word will count for nothing.

Naira235:
Hi Everyone,
I have been paying high money for childcare here in UK and its giving me a second thought. My husband is a medical doctor and I work as a nurse for half days in a week, so we don't have to work all day and time to be financially okay as this is our first child and she is just 8 months old.

I can only afford to sponsor one person for MSc and the person has to be assisting me in childcare as a compensation.

I have a younger sister whom I am 6 years older than, she is a graduate but not currently working. She is a spoilt child been the last born and I am the first born. I found it very difficult to control her as an elder sister while in Nigeria. She is a graduate, and she is tired of Nigeria, she is also a burden on my parents as she has been living and feeding on them. Most times I send them money she spends 80% of it for herself and she is been treated as a pet been last child. I am afraid I won't be able to control her as my sister when she comes over.

I have another lady, she was the daughter of my boss where I was learning Tailoring in Nigeria. She and her mother were so respectful and caring. They are very poor and have no support anywhere so I am thinking of inviting her over for her MSc abroad and to also be taking care of my child for few days in return for her school fees.
Note : that is aside from their 20 hours work per week allowed on their student visa, so they can also work and have money.

The childcare is just few days in a week from 8am to 2pm. And I am hopeful it won't affect their studies.

Who is the right person to invite? Please I need your advice . Thanks all

After inviting your bosses daughter, prepare to have your sister as your permanent enemy the moment she finds out.

For the purpose of clarity, what is the name of the Judge that gave the court order.

tesppidd:
I have observed that 2 sets of people carry this Oshio matter for head like gala.

1. PDP fans.
2. APC people that don't want Tinubu to have 2023 ambition.

Oya tell me which side you belong.

I want you to answer sincerely..

Are you a hypocrite?

bigfrancis21:
How were you able to spell the Igbo lyrics so correctly?

I saw the lyrics on TV. Some Music videos programme show lyrics.

No be small. The full Nairaland dey view this topic.

Kemi Olunloyo on the beat.

Cosyfaith:
If you are in Lagos, you can send me a personal message. My colleagues are even in Lasuth. You can tour the isolation unit in male surgical ward. See how the test are done and wait there for the results to come out. You can sit with those having respiratory problems too and help move the oxygen cylinder around. Afterall your mates who are non health workers abroad are also volunteering

You mean a healthy male citizen should leave his abode and go to a covid-19 infested hospital to confirm that Covid is real. You sef. What if by mistake he catches corona there??
