one will think you win two state out of over 30 in the federation.

Abia and Enugu!?
You know what I'm talking about.

Anyways, why not stop worrying about them since you should be better off. I guess.

Someone without a known legit business is addressing whole 7 billion as mere
Wonders shall never end

are you sure you knew OUK or is it Lamido you are talking about?

Naijadaily:
We all know the truth, that Orji Kalu’s travails started when he opposed Obasanjo's third term. This is a man who is still the only Politician and Business man recognized by forbes , that tells you how genuine he's wealth is.

The case should just be closed already, the man is innocent. Even when Justice Idris was elevated Orji Kalu asked that another judge should take-over, but it was still the same EFCC that insisted that Idiris must conclude the case due to towie hidden agenda, and they succeeded in jailing the man for nothing. Today the same EFCC are asking the court to do what Orji Kalu asked them to earlier. This just tells how Politically motivated this case is.

That's just the fact. They're not interested in whether he's actually corrupt or not. Just to clip his wings and also part of the greater political genocide against some people. Just like EFCC coming to carry Rochas during the days before Presidential primary and abandoning the case later and also how Rochas and Ben Uwajimogu's senate tickets were seized for no reason thereafter till the day of chamber elections denying them any chance of being nominated in any good senate office.
As a people, we want them prosecuted and held accountable not all this political witch hunting.

Bro we are talking of looting case here not business or how much they make or have.

If I say what is in my mouth to you this night you might sleep and not wake up in the morning because I will bash you mercilessly.

We are talking corruption you are talking who someone is or what he has.

Pls go to bed.......

It is you that would sleep and not wake up. Infact you will buy rope or snyper.
Common sense is lacking and you're displaying your crass idiocy online.

Did I mention anything about or against the corruption case or are you dyslexic? If you didn't understand the write-up, go back to daycare.

Yes, when someone has reached a certain level of opulence, they can call 7billion mere. We know what Kalu was worth decades before being governor, that's why he was amongst those who could challenge Obasanjo government and not asslick the 3rd term ambition for a few bags of dollars. For that and any future presidency threats, he has his wings being been clipped till today.

IF HE LOOTED AND WHAT HE LOOTED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS COMMENT, YOU slowpoke.
ONE TRUTH(about his worth) DOESN'T NEGATE ANOTHER(if he's later found to be corrupt).

Chucks13:
Imagine this said "mere N7nilllio: so you are calling N7billio mere

AyeMoJuba:
They called 7Billion Naira...a mere...this country is gone.

Yes, to the likes of Kalu, Dangote, Iwuanyanwu, Adenuga and the late Herbert Wigwe, 7billion is just mere.
These men built known business conglomerates in banking, aviation, construction, agric and production sectors before stepping into the public domain.

If that's your area of specialisation, Remain in the lane of depot business you intended and avoid manufacturing. There are many companies in NIGERIA.
Stout, Wine, Malt and Minerals
SACHET ALCOHOL/BITTERS,
Noodles,
Canned & pep bottle Drinks,
Animal feeds,
CEMENT etc

Water factory business is actually something you shouldn't dare to look down upon. If the space is too big for just sachet water then you upscale to include producing bottled water, dispensers and YOGHURT!!!
This is the only manageable production business as country fuel and dollar be now.

You shouldn't be worried about having competitors since you have bigger space (and most likely funds too). If they're selling pepsi products, you go for coca cola. If they're selling Guinness products, you go for Nigeria breweries products and vice versa. Find another (maybe new or less popular) company to paint their brand colours and make you their major distributor OR find a major distributor of that company that refused you and still be lifting products from them.

victorazy:
BUT you for become millionaire from the compensation money from the airline company

What do you think?

I know you are joking but How much do you people think is compensation money? Something that can't even buy plot of land in some places. Plus and minus travel, lodging and legal expenses then lawyer's percentage because to collect the compensation no be moi moi case. We saw shege..


Bellview took the lives of my mother's immediate elder sister along with her husband. Passenger 55 and 56. 😭😭 The night before Obasanjo's wife died early morning on the operation table in Germany.

ADC took the sultan of Sokoto while SOSOLISO took all those Jesuit Christi students along with that Pastor Bimbo.

Life has never been the same for the families involved nor this country in general after this successive incidents within one year.

There's no remedy
Who goes around with open phone? As in no screen lock ok no problem with that in case of emergency but most importantly, no app lock!?
My opay and gallery apps are locked
Phones come with built in app lock or you download one. It needs a pattern or pin before you can use the app.
MY BANKING SIM IS NOT IN MY SMARTPHONE.
Una suppose dun learn all these things by now

I have a Ghanaian co-worker who told me he wanted to send her daughter who is 12 years old back to Ghana to finish secondary school and the daughter warned him if he should try making arrangements, she would inform her teacher, get social workers involved and if he forcefully wants to fly with her to Ghana, he would be arrested at the airport as her name will be on the immigration 's no fly list.

Firstly , I hope you are not that kind of child in question.
Secondly, such a child should get ready because I will voluntarily give her up to foster system.
Most importantly, how would the child know and why would you tell them that you are trying to leave them here?

Bring your children home to get acquainted with some parts of their culture, family, language etc You don't need to wait till a child is unruly before remembering to visit home.
Odemwingie, Iwobi, Jidenna, Obama, Dele Alli etc spent small parts of their lives in their home country growing up.

Gandrova:
Must you belittle someone before making comments?
Why can't you say Hausa. What is Aboki ?
The Aboki that feed You guys with their farm product

North every aboki is Hausa. Aboki means my friend. There's nothing belittling about it.
I think, the correct term you are looking for is northerner, cos the term aboki is used to refer to Northern folks.

He is a rivers man. I thought he was Igbo too until I started seeing push back from rivers people on twitter yesterday.

They said he is from Ogba.

Ọgba, Ndoni, Egbema speak what language?
Bear in mind that Kelechi Iheanacho is from the same Egbema, Imo State. Egbema is just divided by invisible line of state boundaries just as Okigwe is divided between Imo and Abịa states.
Ohaji/Egbema LGA in Imo state
Ọgba/Ndoni/Egbema LGA in Rivers state.

The fact that Imo and even Ebonyi are not on the list shows how wrong from reality you are. Dem just dey carry the resources dey squander claiming the state is not generating anything.

The heartlands of onshore gas, petrol, gravel and granite etc? Just dey play.

1)Registered with CBN and insured under NDIC just like other banks.
2) Fully Licensed to operate as (or under) a Microfinance bank.
3)Fast, free and easy transfers
4)Multiple saving plans like fixed, target, safebox.

nairalanda1:
True, but on the other hand most of the successful presidential candidates are old people.

Plus old people have an edge on finances, connections and time compared to a young struggling person

Very true and that's why I emphasize on them sponsoring the next generation but I know human selfishness won't let them.
I'm satisfied everytime a younger candidate (35-50yrs) is given the platform and support even if it's their children or in-laws.
I'd rather vote a Kwankwanso in-law, T.A Orji son or Tinubu's wife as long as we're shifting to a younger generation.
You don't expect a Buhari or Tinubu to have full grasp of your BlackBerry, Apple, Android, Cisco, Crypto etc. and unfortunately It's hard to get that Obasanjo/Atiku combo that'll agree to go import and appoint experts on relevant fields to move the nation a bit closer to modernization.

ednut1:
how old is Jo Biden and Trump

Since dey go back to electing old cargoes in this 21st century, We dun see as U.S.A come keep face like who get gonorrhoea

nairalanda1:
Let's say you are offered the chance to run for President. Meanwhile you are a family man with a wife and young kids that need you.

In USA, Biden and trump are both over 75 years old. If someone told them to run for president back in the late1970s when they had young kids and in Biden case when he was a widower and acting as motherand father to his sons on top of his senate duties, they both would have told you to sit down.


Even obama that ran, his wife was not initially that enthusiastic. They had two young kids. And their finances were not perfect.

E no easy for young person to run for office. Young person with tiny pikin and poor funds nko?

What are you talking about? Biden, Atiku and Tinubu have all been running for presidency since the 1980s.
None of them had poor funds when they were younger.
Based on your submission, must it be their dead bodies on the seat, why can't they sponsor vibrant candidates? Before and after the elections I still maintain that I'd rather freely vote for Tinubu's wife or Son even if it was still Tinubu ruling by Proxy. I supported Biden when he supported a younger Obama's candidacy but I frowned at him or Trump's emergence and we can see how crazy America is looking in recent years.

Roseodd:
Please can 2million naira finish 2 bedroom flat upto roofing level.
I will need urgent reply please.

Only possible for two straight rooms(in-house) or one room self-contained apartment.

Seriously Nigerians should learn to start first with just BQ one side of the fence or gate and pack in before carrying the main family house project. This is what helped us immensely and you won't believe how fast the project will be going up without stress when you're already around. Building no easy oO. Plan well.

AtoningBlood:
I need your input people.

3 years ago, my dad sold our house without informing anyone of us. Meanwhile, we all had things left at home, including my mum's items. He never told us where some of those things are till date.

He sold that house and went to the village, he immediately started having issues with the village people. Fight today, fight tomorrow. Everyone in the village I heard now disrespect him due to how he reveal his secrets to anyone who cares to listen.

My dad wants to leave the village to go rent an apartment in another state. His financial responsibility has been on me alone. My siblings abandoned him.

He's being nursing the idea of leaving the village and never informed me. Last november I spent almost 2 million naira fixing solar power and inverter for him in his house at the village and immediately after that he started saying he wants to leave the village..

I told my dad never to relocate to the village yet, that he should wait till his is older as he is still agile and all his friends are in the state where we lived or around. He also gets contracts once in a while so I don't bear much financial burden. But no, he failed to listen and sold our house and left.

My dad wants me to cough out another 1M to rent a house, he wants it big, 3 bedroom. I told him to look for a 2 bedroom but he said where would visitors stay.

I am not even comfortable seeing him in a rented apartment, what would my cousins say, they would mock us. I have some of them who are very naughty. He is bringing shame in us.

We have two properties and my husband wants him to come and stay in one, I vehemently disagreed because he will be controlling us, some of my extended family members will come visiting him and carry the news to the village, as well as discussing my own family and I don't want that. They contributed to what is happening to him now. Through him, some of them will come to stay and I can not start what I can't continue with. So I told my husband to dead that idea fast.

He wants to leave the village latest by February. How do I convince him to get a 2 bedroom flat? 3 bedroom would mean 3 mattresses, and everything triple. My dad doesn't like anything less. All the expenses will be on me alone. My siblings don't care.

I can't turn deaf ears to his needs. I don't want him in the village and I hate to see him in a rented apartment but that is what it is now.

I need contructive advice especially those of us with retired parents, how do you relate with their needs? I told him to think of a small trade so he won't be idle like he's been since retirement and he is talking about setting up electrical pole business, I laughed. Sebi he wan rek me. Same way he did not manage hid wealth.

Firstly, do you think you're wiser than those your siblings that don't let him rip them off? Parents are normal people, they too can be toxic or egotistic, autistic etc and just need understanding on how to cope with them

Village people insulting and fighting him means he has less or nothing better to do and became busy body. It's better for you to Cough out that 1million in the village and open something like provision store, animal rearing or even that his pole business for him. After that lock up and learn to shut off his demands. Shout at him if necessary to know that nothing more to give him. You have your own family now.

Preciouschinwe:
not advisable, for peace and respect

For that to occur, you never had it in the first place.

Myer:
It balls down to the person you're getting married to. If she's fine with it, you will enjoy it. But if she isn't fine with it,, any slight issue will be attributed to staying in your parents house.

Then she better be coming into the marriage with building. If she was so uncomfortable, she would have engineered and forced building project for her husband. If you go and marry women with issues instead of solution.
My granny ventured into different businesses despite being a trained teacher, acquired many lands and made major contributions to grandpa's numerous building achievements. In case you don't understand, they forfeited many lands in Rivers state after the war yet I got over 3plots of her personal property not family inheritance oO plus She would have owned a property in present day Ariaria Aba if her brother and husband hadn't connived that time to seize the money and dissuade her, claiming the place wasn't yet developed and it's very far from our place.

Judolisco:
it's a norm in India.... It's jst a cultural thing here to leave your family and start another family.... But in India it's like a shame when u ain't staying with your parents

It's NOT a cultural thing. It's foreign capitalist idea. In our cultures, children are alotted rooms in their father's building or portions of their father's land to live and cultivate. Even in some Igbo where the first son inherits the father's building, he's can't chase his siblings out. They leave on their own accord when they most likely erect their own huts nearby.

dreamwords:
there is nothing wrong with it as long as your own parent are still living in there parent house,
as long as your wife to be is also comfortable with it

Your hometown is your parents' parents' parents' parents' parents' parents' parents' parents' parents' home.

If apartments can be shared for financial reasons with one person using front while the other uses back entrance, why can't such be done with relatives especially if the parents have a compound?

ufotunang:
It's wrong...at a certain time your parents will start not to respect you and your wife....your brother and sister will not respect you and your wife they will look down on you

Because he and his wife are idle and lousy. If you're both working, keeping boundaries and minding your own business, taking care of your personal needs, helping your aged parents with SOME chores and medical needs, contributing to bills and general welfare in the home no matter how low the income, where will the insult come from?

Lamanii22:
I can’t wait for us to move into our own home so I can at least treat my husband to different meals and take care of him properly

You are trying but there's nothing stopping you. Doesn't mean you are restricted to one pot. You and your husband can still run your own things from time to time.

Nazgul:
Your mom and your female siblings wouldn't respect your wife. She won't feel comfortable in that house

Only a desperate woman would marry a man living in his parents house.

Then you didn't marry a wife, you married a dummy and it would be most disastrous to be living alone with such woman.

Yes peace is the major focus to focus. The man and wife are also contributory to the peace. If they're deficient in any way, entitled or overstepping boundaries.

Samfloxin:
You lived there because there was peace and you made the achievement because you and your wife are earning well and prudent in savings

Samfloxin:
You didn't achieve those things because you were living there, after all, how much is rent?

This is the worst outlook/question on earth anyone can have.
I've experienced tenancy in form of hostel, rooms, flats, compound space etc and as a landlord I can tell you that RENT IS NOT UP TO 10% of a tenants misery. Just as fuel is the cheapest article to consider in the running of a vehicle.

ZIMDRILL:
clearly you missed the point, am sure the thread wasnt talking about it as temporal measure aka living with parent for 5 years while save

The thread is talking about as permant home,

Whether permanent or temporal, it doesn't stop a lady from having her own kitchen, decorations, building her own etc.
Like someone replied you, many married people are living in single room or one bedroom RENTED apartments. If that doesn't restrict them, why or how will occupying a portion of their family house/compound be restrictive?

EreluRoz:
He's so responsible taking care of these boy and very happy that he's in the university, he doesn't seems to notice anything. I know something is wrong somewhere, if you know the type of person I am you'll know I know what I'm saying

I believe he knows. Across our cultures in Nigeria, nobody has the right to proclaim against any child the father didn't deny. It's what oyinbo call adoption. I doubt he's blind to not see the resemblance(or lack) if he didn't know. He deliberately married her after she had a kid at home OR he wooed her back from another lover even though she was pregnant because he didn't want to lose her to him OR he didn't know initially but has decided to embrace the child.
Believe me, you don't need blood to bond with a child and lots of men easily forego what ladies did before they married especially since he still has his own kids.
Many people whose wife had extramarital affairs still decided to accept and keep everything hush hush depending on their bond while some infertile cases actually know the kids are not their own or even negotiated with their spouse on that route. Like I said, it's adoption in this locale.
I strongly doubt you are the first person to notice. Yes, you can discuss it codedly with your dad if you're old enough. You might be shocked he already knows.
Unless a man disowns a child or leaves a will(oral or written), all his wife's kids even after his death belongs to him unless she remarries and bride price is paid on her head while that of the former husband is returned. If it's not returned, all her kids there are still his own. Even those people's communities might use this in times of politics for example to oust the children telling them to go to where their mother's dowry was paid cos they're illegitimate.

DeepSight:
The two greatest economies in Africa are Egypt and SA.

Whether we like it or not, over 220million population will remain on the Africa greatest economies even if half the people decided to be earning less than 2dollars per day.

GreatOchuks:
😂😂😂 good one ,,, now they are coming to terms with the definition of "Structure" which they were asking about before the Election.

They thought winning a whole Presidential Election of the most corrupt country in Africa is about jumping into a confused party with 2 different factions, Presidential candidate sidelining Gubernatorial candidates for his personal gains , sidelining Party chairmen who are the grassroots mobilisers , shaming the founding fathers of the party and not providing for party agents in the North while thinking only South East votes and South South can deliver victory .

They will lurrrnn!

I'm sure they will learn after dollar and fuel pump prices finish them while you and yours enjoying 200naira rate. Cost of living go waya only them tire for this country.

Over 6million without structure.
Election had to be paused and hijacked in Rivers and co before some people could get more than 10 states victory.
Na Kwankwanso wey no read about the Biden script.

Appletek:
Kwankwaso is more educated am more accomplished politically than Peter Obi. You are here saying his move was uncalled for. Were you people not the ones insulting him when he reached out LP?

Who are "you people"? and who's dragging education with Kwankwanso? Biden had been in politics since Obama was just a boy.

Stay off my mention if you can't make any sensible observation of events without going personal or resorting to insults.
