astonished:Lol... There's no tribe in Nigeria and even in Africa in general that is more industrious and talented than the Igbos, you can take it to the bank. This is a people that fought 30months bloody war on their region and was given 20 pounds irrespective of the amount they had in the bank before the war. Aside Lagos, there's no South Western State that is more developed than any state in the East. Fayose even sent Ekiti youths to Aba and Onitsha to learn trade. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/new-lawmakers-define-ekiti-stomach-infrastructure/?utm_source=&utm_medium=facebook#sthash.6xtp1nVo.dpuf Even the academics the Yorubas were known with have been taken over by the Igbos. Igbos are competing aggressively in every sector. Go to the war museum in Umuahia and see the weapons the Igbos manufactured during the war. It's on record the Igbos built modular refineries to refine their fuel during the war but after 50years Nigeria can't refine fuel for local consumption. The war the Igbos fought made them stronger than any other tribe in Nigeria and that's the truth. Go to Ghana, South Africa, Botswana, Angola, Namibia, Kenya etc you will see Igbo owned businesses everywhere. In the end I believe for Nigeria to really move forward the Igbos must be made to feel at home in the union called Nigeria. Nigeria needs the industrious spirit of the Igbos to move forward. Yoruba and Northerners are good with administration and government jobs but that's not what will create wealth that will be enough to pull over 133M people out of multidimensional poverty. Igbos have no time to hate anyone. Igbos are the only people that truly believe in one Nigeria. They go to every state to build houses and establish a business. Igbos want excellence and progress. The first Mayor of Enugu that elected was Umaru Altine from Sokoto state. That was before independence in 1960. Over the years we have become so close that the idea of a division is almost unthinkable. My aunt married Yoruba. So my cousins are Yoruba and we grew up together. Marriage between Igbos and Yorubas happen everyday. Tribalism is just an illusion. Elumelu is from my village in Delta state. But if I take my wedding invitation card to him and Seyi Tinubu takes his Wedding Invitation card to him. He will first honour Seyi Tinubu before he will consider me. But we're from same village. The problem of Nigeria is class struggle. |
Lol... Buhari fit dey yansh this woman. Because the way him take carry this lousy lady matter for head is something else |
Lol... Extortion points. A trailer loaded with goods like Timber for local consumption runs a road expenses of about #500K from Abakaliki to Portharcourt while same trailer conveying same goods from Benue heading to Zamfara spends less than 50K as road expenses. Because the road blocks from Abakaliki to Portharcourt is 10X the number of road blocks from Benue to Zamfara. And the few road blocks in the north don't extort motorists. Abakaliki to Portharcourt is less than 400KM. While Benue to Zamfara is about 800KM. Igbos have been living like a conquered people. I have personally been assaulted by a soldier at a checkpoint because I offered him #2000 as against the #4000 he demanded before I can pass with my trailer of goods. There's no difference between armed robbers and Nigerian security agencies extorting travellers at every checkpoint. |
Kekydiv:Lol |
Lol |
Lol... Sai Baba |
This is really commendable. Unlike super Eagles players that earned good money abroad playing the beautiful game but ended setting up bet shops for youths to gamble away their future. |
How is it possible that an average hospital in Nigeria can’t handle gun shot victims? Even in the so called Lagos. We really need to advocate for good governance. Governance in Nigeria is a complete joke. No healthcare, no schools, no water, no roads, no power… |
isan:He emboldened them. That wasn’t how it was before now. Right now everyone visiting main market is complaining bitterly. Peter Obi chased those touts away. Upper Iweka and Head bridge was free from extortion and harassment. |
atinga1:Cut throat tax is not what that built Anambra. Those taxes will be reducing the purchasing power of the people which will slow down the economic activities Anambra is known with. This is the reason Peter Obi is well respected in Anambra. He managed the resources prudently without heavy tax burdens. |
What’s the essence of delaying the rebuild effort? In Nigeria there’s no safety net for the citizenry. You stop feeding when your business or job experiences setbacks. Soludo could become the worst Governor Anambra has produced since the administration of Mbadinuju. Today, you must pay touts as much as #800 - #1000 before you’re allowed to carry your load and board Keke from Main market onitsha. Even Lagos that is full of street touts don’t have such a policy. With the way he is going he will drive millions of Anambarians into poverty. |
BarrElChapo:Inside that Bible when you dey read Abraham no take second wife? Did heaven fall? In contemporary times, just because King Henry VIII wanted a another wife he created the church of England for himself. Did heaven fall? See every Aboki to his kettle. The only place I will say he bleeped up is going ahead to wife a lady her previous baby daddies refused to wife. If you're getting a new wife get one without any baggage. |
decatalyst:Lol... You guys are too judgemental. How many wives Atiku get? How is Yul different from people that have one wife with several concubines |
Yul will never have peace of mind until he marries a third wife. If you're going into polygamous marriage never stop at number 2. The drama will be too much to handle. 3rd wife will kill all the drama. ![]() |
Jennyclay:The poor are not the problem of Nigeria. It's the greedy rich people that has turned Nigeria to a jungle. What's causing fuel scarcity? Is it the poor? Is it the poor that made the price of Cement to be unaffordable to the common man despite the fact that the manufacturers pay little or nothing as royalties for our minerals used in cement production? I have a cousin that is a big distributor of cement one of the ways he makes money is to rebag or create artificial scarcity to inflate the price. Please leave poor people alone. The rebagging of bags of cement or rice is not done by poor people. Poor people have no business with cement or rice distribution business. The poor you're referring to buy cups of rice not bags |
Acidosis:I beg to differ. The most wicked people in Nigeria are the rich people. It takes courage to be poor and still be faithful in doing a crappy job. Nigeria today, we have rich people in Banana Island, Gbagada etc paying cleaners 15K in a month in today's Nigeria. It takes courage to earn that and show up for work every day. |
Globad:Lol... Bitcoin is still within the first decade of it's evolution. Still early days. it's not perfect but still way better than cash transactions. Bitcoin is the first and only truly public payment infrastructure aside from cash transactions. Its just like the early days of the internet and the dot-com bubble. Amazon became the first company in the world to lose 1 Trillion dollars of its market cap. |
This is the simple reason crypto remains the future. 21M bitcoin is the max supply there can ever be. Fiat as a store of value is complete foolishness. The more the government prints the lower the value of the money in your pocket. Why are people still blinded to this fact? |

Our business practices are directly responsible for pool of 133 million Nigerians living in multi dimensional poverty. This is were government comes in. Infact, the farmers are not supposed to have any business with dealers. Government should offer them reasonable contracts to buy out whatever they produce. That's what happens in places like America and Europe. This helps the farmers to focus on productivity. |
Lol... Vote wisely guys. Vote wisely = Vote Peter Obi of Labour Party. |
Sad |
This is so undemocratic. How do this people make this type of statements? It simply shows we're all deceiving ourselves. |
I thought they were mocking Labour Party on the issue of crowdfunding? All the APC supporters now is the time to donate ooo. |
Lol... Tony Elumelu you were more than lucky. Rolling with the political class was all the luck you needed |
. |
Vipro:No... It's a waste of time. Look for a career course. If you have the head for sciences go for nursing. |

Not a chance |
Kudos to the state. Anambra is a state to reckon with. This is a state that was created in 1991 and experienced 30months civil war without federal presences even after the war. Peter Obi succeeded in placing them in an enviable position in Nigeria with so little resources. Where is the idiotic character known as Shettima to come and compare his Boko haram ravaged state, Borno to Anambra state.

Patriotic9ja:Lol... Does death know the difference between a landlord and tenant? |
