Since the call to make Nigeria better has been on. For some time now anyway. And such ways as have been put forward are:
1. Restructure Nigeria
2. Divide Nigeria let individual tribes / regions go separate ways as it was before devilish Lord Lugard came.

I have discovered that all Hausa/Fulani persons at different levels have been afraid and kicking against it. And my question is WHY.

I am not new to nairaland but created this profile for the sole purpose of making a diary/note of the stages of growing my first cannabis plant.

I am a vivid cannabis smoker and I spend an average of 200 euros a week on it(I live France), So I decided to grow mine. Note possession of cannabis is illegal but if found with small amounts for personal use, the police usually let you off with your weed as long as you are not dealing in it.

Anyway to safe money, I decided to grow mine and I decided to do a diary of it and maybe I could find growers here to advise me on how to get the best results.

I planted for seeds of different strains of cannabis in a small pot four days ago. Every day I took the pot to the balcony, put two table spoons of water and left it there for some hours before bringing it back indoor.

I almost gave up when I saw no sign of germination but today, one of the seeds showed sign of germination and I'm so excited

I don't know which strain has germinated and I'm not really bothered because all strains have a decent level of CBD and THC which is what gives a high when people smoke.

I have decided to name the first one to germinate Blossoms.

Say hi to Blossoms, she was born today the first of May.

I will be updating this thread weekly to give progress of how it's going.

Photos are attached below.

Nigeria Break-Up Could Lead To The Extinction Of The Igbo Race!

IPOBs keep saying ''let everybody go his own way''.

But if that happens, Igbos will suffer the most. another lie Mohammed spotted

There are millions of Igbo people living all over Nigeria. Also oversea

They will be deported back to Igboland en masse in the event of a breakup. not an issue they will be accommodated

Can Igboland handle 20 million angry, hungry Igbo returnees with lost businesses and sources of income? sorry some will sell off their business and who tell you they are hungry most are doing well financially.that's the entrepreneurial success

How will you employ them? No more federal character Bro ( Biafra Army,Navy,Airforce,Road safety,Civil defence,Custom,Fire service etc)

How will you house them? no take para for someone headache. during Osu Abiola etc most returned and where accomodated

How will you feed them? most are successful in their entrepreneurial and food bank without Federal character

How will you educate them?entrepreneurial success

How will the Igbo states, currently reliant on monthly federal allocation from Abuja, replace that income, since no more oil money? (The Niger Delta would not be part of 'Biafra' of course) All can survive without oil money. note Imo, Abia and now Anambra has oil

So what will they do for money? stupid question. have you ask yourself why Hausa hate Igbo its because of entrepreneurial success. that is what they will do for money

Sell coal? just one igbo man can start activated charcoal company and make it a brand, Biafra Charcoal etc metallurgical and chemical purposes

Nobody wants any gaddemn coal or palm oil in today's world. are you for real?

Igbo industrialists, manufacturers, businessmen, and traders are dependent on access to the Nigerian market - Africa's biggest by a long shot - for their continued progress and expansion. don't worry its better they sell oversea and earn in dollar the world is a global village and Igbo man see the world as his village

A breakup of Nigeria destroys that access, as whatever nation(s) takes its place will raise protectionist measures to build up their own industries.

I just don't see how this ends well for the Igbo people. [color=#000000]Mr See..er see for your self first[/color]

I fear a break-up of Nigeria could lead to the extinction of the Igbo race! lie Mohammed

[28/04, 12:56] What started like a peaceful day on the 26th of April 2021 ended up being a day I will never forget. I arrived Warri town the previous day to start hustling with my brother's car since I am yet to get another job since leaving the Navy. On my way coming back from Warri with three passengers left in the Sienna, my spirit became troubled for no particular reason and I just started feeling depressed. From speeding at 130-140km/hr, I dropped my speed to 60km/hr. Few kilometres to Warri, the bandits just started shooting at the vehicles (I was the lead car and I just slammed in the brake, before thinking they were policemen. I couldn't accelerate again so I engaged the vehicle in reverse but other vehicles were already at my tail. There was a lady seating at the front with me, out of panic, she couldn't even open the door while the two men at the middle seat are already out of the vehicle. By the time I got out of the vehicle and running to the bush, I was stopped by the guy with the rifle pointing directly at me.
As I was being led into the bush at the other side. I met another guy with cutlass, I launched at him and pushed him to the ground but before I could make a run, I hit my leg on a stump of tree and fell. I have to surrender. I quickly removed my Navy retiree I.D card and hid it on my body just a minute before one of the bandit removed my wallet from my pocket. A quick search was conducted on us but the I.D was not discovered. We were led deeper into the bush (three ladies and two men) and that was the beginning of my 8 agonizing hours with them. When we got to a spot they felt its safe, they started beating the two of us that is male. Words cannot describe the brutality I went through. They suspected I am a Military or police guy and subjected to so much beating more than the other man who I assume is in his mid-fifties.
After they have satisfied themselves they started taking us one after the other to their leader who started questioning us. That is when they started raping the ladies but didn't subject them to physical brutality. When its my turned they started searching me all over again looking for possible identification that will give me out as a military guy. But I have removed my cloth that has naval inscription and hid the I.D card in the sole of my palm sandal so they couldn't find anything on me. When asked who I will contact for payment and I replied that I don't have any money or rich relative, it infuriated them and earned me more planks on the head. I was returned to my position and made to lie facing the ground. One of them now asked why I removed my cloth, I replied that it was due to heat, he told me to put it back on, so I did but turned the clothe inside out. All these while they continued to smoke weeds, cigar and some hard chemical that I don't know why drinking a reddish fluid from bottle. All their aim was to break my joints and all the slaps and blows was aimed directly at my eyes. When they are done eating, I was made to carry their bags and we headed further into the forest.
Whenever we stop for a rest, the resume the beating. Eventually I contacted my brother and they demanded for a sum of #50million. All during the trip, I was observing their formation and how they handle their rifles. It was obvious these guys has military training hence how they figured out I am/was a military chap. I wanted to make a run for the bush but I am convinces that they will gun me down before I will make it to the bush so I continued to follow sheepishly and appealing to them. Attempts were made almost five times to inflict injury on me with cutlass but each time one of them will restrain the other trying to cut me..
When we got far enough they decided to look for a place for us to pass the night and the choose a farmland with dried leaves. My singlet was torn and used to tie me and the other man. He was tied mildy and blindfolded but I was tied to a tree with my hands behind and at the upper arm so tight that it restrict blood flow to my arms. That was when I really suffered undescribable pain. I kept screaming and they were beating me with cutlass but I couldn't withstand the pain in my arms. They were checking my arms and when they were sure that the arm is already filled with blood, they cut my arm loose and I fell to ground and that was the beginning of the plot for my successful escape
When my arms has regained its functions, I slightly raised my very tight blindfold and started taking mental note of their positions, some were already snoring but a particular one was watching videos on his phone so I have to wait. Once I hear the phone keypads beeping I will know that he is still awake. after sometime I raised my head a not and saw that he is also asleep and its only the phone that is awake, so I carefully removed the dry leaves and sink my toes in the sand and with the aid of the tree I pushed against it and I was able to stand without making any sound
With three leaps, I made towards the dark opening in the forest which I know it will hide me and they won't be able to follow. I landed in a swamp and I keep charging through the shrubs roots of big trees and all other obstacles for three hours till I reach the main road again
I have the following advice for us
1. Don't ever drive slowly on a highway
2. Don't stop to pick or help strangers on the high or lonely places.
3. Always pray to God with your heart, He will definitely answer.
4. Women should not be seating in the front of the car especially during journey.
5. In captivity, don't ever sleep because the window for escape might be very short and you have to act fast.
6. Always delete your bank alerts and keep important documents safely hidden in the car if you are travelling.
In all,the grace of God prevailed as all that's just described may look like a fiction but that is exactly what happened. My only regret was not being able to save the others. The lady amongst them kept telling she hates me and will kill me the next day. I have to believe her, so I have to take my chance 50/50 instead of being shot in the head without giving a fight.
I was at the Police station on the 27th and was there today again. They are not interested in saving them. Instead the DPO told us to pay for towing our vehicle away from the scene and also find something for his boys. I told them how it feels being in such situation and knowing that help is not coming except from God.
Nairalanders ,just help me thank God that I'm alive to tell my story.

FatherOfJesus:
Are we underestimating them?

Seems like they really are not joking.

Meanwhile, remember that Nigeria had just 300,000 military personnels as at end of 2020 and no one is willing to join them right now as they are killing them like chickens.
