Ofodirinwa: Those of you who are geographically confused, the entire SE is in the Niger Delta. A Delta is a geographical expression, like a river or mountain. The entire SE is in the Niger Delta.
If your total school fees from primary to tertiary levels had been used for fish farming, the outcome today would have been far more profitable and better than what you’ve become. Look at what a graduate wrote up there. How else do we define uselessness?
BluntCrazeMan: I need you to tell me what “Niger-Delta” means,, and what “along the bank of River Niger” means..
Find the true meaning of A DELTA.
Then come back and teach me more about it.
No mind them. A good number of these guys here have a tribally-twisted mentality, in such a way that they outrightly reject glaring truths where it crushes their sentiments.
CJStarz: I get the emotional point of your view. Indeed,it was a struggle. People lost their lives in the course of it all and that should be respected.....but unfortunately, nobody remembers the labour of our past heroes
This isn’t emotional, it’s being factual and human. If the Nigerian government could change democracy day from May 29 to June 12, claiming its in honor of a person killed in his democratic quest, (even though we know, the FG did it to appeal to certain ethnic group for political reasons), then there is no excuse for downplaying the significance of NDDC, as regards what it symbolizes to the Niger Deltans- a compensation for a painful past of struggle and under development, despite being the milk bank of the nation’s treasury. NDDC was created for the development of that region who shared common goals and struggles. Let’s call a spade it’s name.
CJStarz: Like seriously? Never heard of that. Thanks for the insight.
What fucking insight is he giving?
Nigeria is cursed with tribal bias, greed and myopia. The same ugly trend that followed Hilda Bacci on the GWR, where a certain Chef Dammy showed up, that’s the same trend we see in politics and top echelons of the country. What has Anambra got to do with NDDC? By definition of Niger Delta Anambra, Imo, even Ondo states are off the list. Now get this clear, I’m not talking about oil production here, I’m talking about Niger Delta by definition, by virtue of geographical features and proximity (see picture below). Now it’s no coincidence that these original NDDC States happen, not only to to be significant oil producing states, but have also suffered the negative effects and hazards that these has caused their environments due to political exploitations and negligence. These states have paid the highest prices with their Human Resources in the struggle for having adequate compensation for what they give out to the nation. Think of Ken Saro Wiwa. Think of the Onshore offshore dichotomy that was a very tight rope that would have claimed Victor Attah’s life. Think of the Ogoni people’s fight and miseries. These are sacrifices and struggles that eventually gave NDDC its shape and form. Why do you think we have boys in the creeks today? Do you Think Niger Delta militants came up to fight Fulani herdsmen like Amotekun was created? Or you think they were formed to destroy bottles of beer like the hisbah police up north? Or you think these guys appeared just like IPOB or ESN to form their own country? No. These guys fought for resource control. They are are still doing so, until it becomes absolute. Now it’s looking juicy, and every other state think, being in NDDC is just by having crude or traces of it. This Nigerian greed is appalling. It must not be NDDC, create something else. NDDC is more than oil, it’s a struggle and a voice. People paid with their blood and lands to have that up and running today. This was how Buhari wasted resources drilling for oil up north. That greed and toxic covetous mindset is eating up whatever is left of Nigeria. One minute you see a Hilda Bacci with authentic motives, driven by inspiration and sincere sacrifice to achieve a goal, the next minute you see an envious Chef Dammy, motivated by prejudice and covetousness to counter Hilda or share her glory. Everyone wants to identify with milk and honey. They all want to put their feet where the money is , not minding whose sweat or blood paid for it. It’s so disgusting for a country. Rubbish.
The difference between the physically challenged and the non physically challenged is just an accident or an anomaly; a situation that money couldn’t prevent and intentions can’t change.
It is foolishness to boast in beauty or mock disabilities. Whatever you have now was given.
We’re alive today, only because of His love… He kept you…He kept me…His mercy kept us… so we wouldn’t let go…
ademola2017: In 2017, i expressed my deep concerns on nairaland about my now ex wife double dating game before we got married, her attitude towards me and how the relationship was one sided.
I got several advices to let her go but decided to give the marriage another chance but it eventually crashed in March 2022. We did all we could to save the marriage but to no success. We were done patching. No child was involved and absolutely nothing to show for the marriage after 8years of being together. I still feel the pain but it gets better everyday. I credit myself for not cheating on her till our last days together and even months after our separation.
After several months of being celibate, I had sex with a young 25year old lady. I met her through a family friend 2 months before she got pregnant
Just one intercourse, she became pregnant. At first, i doubted it because I laboured very hard to father a child for 8yrs and with just one sexual intercourse, someone is carry my baby?? with me being very knowledgable about calculating ovulation dates and timely intercourse, it conformed so I had to accept the pregnancy as a sign from God.
Deep down, my new partner and I do not love each other but the respect for each other is on point. We have ZERO expectations from each other. We communicate well and have started living together in peace. No arguements, no drama and no issues at all.
I changed my mindset by taking her as my younger sister and she does same by taking me as an older brother.
It feels strange to be at so much peace with someone that I dont love at all. Our baby is coming and I am scared things may change when the true reality sets in.
What do you guys think?
Looks like you are under pressure to marry by all means. That’s why you settle for whatever is available. You are having a baby from a women who shares no emotional connection with you and you call her your partner? Looks like you didn’t learn from your 8 years mistake. You could be in for a more dangerous ride than you ever imagined. This is so disturbing
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Amen!
If na the other religion now, this pikin for make mistake during recitation, next thing na to run mad. Thank God for Christ
besayag: Marrying a lady because you met her during evangelism as a virgin, a pastors daughter, a member of ur same winners chapel church, might not guarantee anything peace at all.
Dnt be too eager or quick to trust people. People can change at anytime. People can be very ungrateful and deceptive.
| met Sheila February 19, 2022. We became friends which later became intimate.
She told me she would only loose her virginity to the man that would marry her, since her Ugep,Cross River, mother, who’s now 41, who had earlier married 2 different men, with 2 kids, before marrying her father and that she was over due at 21 for marriage.
We fully agreed with her terms and conditions. | immediately began a full upgrade of her unkept situation by firstly giving her 300k and also replacing her tattered phone of less than 60k to a brand new iphone 12 Pro Max of 860k in less than 2 weeks.
I later also replaced the 12 Pro Max to a brand 14 Pro Max of 1.2m that she’s currently using to slay. I did a alot of shoppings for her.
Bought her clothes and bags incuding expensive human hairs she’s using without sleeping with her then. I later proposed and she fully accepted. We later did a Legally introdution, traditional and white weddings in benin city.
Sheila immediately changed by showing her real self after our wedding by wanting to set standards for me because she now felt she was blown as juju wife, fully verified on Instagram, with more followers from her earlier struggling 3k followers when i met her.
A fully sapa girl i met with just 2,700 in her account.
I have never raised my hands on her any day. I dnt beat women at all. I respect them so much. The least money for her upkeep was 100k.
She now wakes up to tell me that i derive dignity in begging my oga, and that i am fully a slave and that am disgracing her on social media.
had earlier taking her to show same oga for the first time before we wedded, when we were in Abuja Transcorp Hilton, and oga asked her straight forward if she was ready for marriage, and she fully answered by saying yes and oga immediately gave her 500k for airtime.
Oga was fully present in benin for my wedding, after cancelling a 140m show appearance. Oga..
You’ve mentioned monetary figures more than anything else. Reading between the lines, I don’t think you understand the difference between respecting a woman and seeing her as a commodity. I think your definition and idea of marriage needs a fix. You most likely married who never loved you at first. …and lastly please stop talking about how you raised her up from the mud. It’s a huge turn off. That’s what boys do. It’s disgusting.
Thundafireseun: Politics is for serious people… The most serious person has won the election already… let’s movee on Abeggg
Since wey you dey shout let's move on, your life gree move? Una think say na some pipu una dey do. The result of tribalism don turn u to beggar for your papa land. Person wey financial affliction don change him figure finish dey shout let's move on.
Thundafireseun: Stale news …. Aisha Yesufu The earlier you realize that you are not in the same league with Tinubu the better for you and your entire family
The ship has sailed past certificate … What President Tinubu needs now is our collective support and prayers
Meanwhile Tinubu has better things to do
You be confam maalu. U no know say President work na call to public service. Who follow Druggie drag nonsense league. Bad breathe.
WannaHowzit: Lol, but its taken them 46 days in Gaza facing an under-resourced Hamas. Maybe you forgot SA is a sovereign country with the second most powerful military in Africa after Egypt. Go back to lalaland white worshipper 🇳🇬👎🏾
The Egypt that combined with other Arab states and still got beaten black blue by Israel in a blink…the same Egypt that is militarily better than SA today, is still taking caution in dealing with the State of Israel. Now imagine SA, saber rattling and busy bodying out of the delusion of being significantly BRICSified. Fools everywhere.
WannaHowzit: Cowards don't go this far son - Israel & US feeling the heat. Direct that term "bunch of cowards" Nigeria's way. Do u even have a foreign policy? 🇳🇬👎🏾
When any crisis on the global stage, involving the West is seen by Ramaphozic idiots as apartheid, how do I expect your definition of foreign policy to be anything reasonable?
luminouz: Sometimes I wonder what manner of mentality we have as Africans. We are too emotional for our own good. You see Nigerians on NL cussing themselves out over Russia-Ukrainae war and Now Hamas-Israel? Like these two countries give a fuq about us or what? Can you imagine what this SA dude is doing, like Hamas who uses their own daughters as shields would hesitate to blow his black ass up?
I don't get it, why do we love those who oppress us so much? All these countries hate black people and call us names yet we vehemently decide to associate ourselves with them and support their rights. My conclusion is that so much of our history has been erased due to our inability to write them down coupled with the destruction of that culture by whites and recolonization by Western culture that we are psychically confused about who we really are. That manifested in the urge to BELONG to any and all ideology because we have lost so much of what used to be ours.
N.B: Don't get me started on religion. That's the most controlling force on this planet and the fact that people don't realize this baffle dafuq outta me. How do you kill others (created by the same God) because they don't have same faith as you? How do you defend a God who supposedly create the whole universe and more, by killing those who according to you, defiled his name? What kind of God asks you to go out and kill others who he created in his own image? The list goes on and on and I'm tired that this singular movement called religion is so ingrained in us that no one is even willing to sit down and think for once that, " am I even doing the right thing"?
pricklewane: Isreal is an apartheid state whether you like it or not. It might not be exactly like SA but it is definitely worse and Isreal need to build a true n justified union for both isrealis n Palestine.
Looks like you copy and paste, to leave your brain a waste.
Botragelad: You must be a nutter if you think Israel or the Jews give a toss about what south Africa think of them. That would be Israel scraping the barrel. There are better people to worry about, not wafflers on the net.
By the way do you have a clue what an apartheid state really means or do you just love chucking the word around!
WannaHowzit: On Tuesday morning, Amad posted two images of himself carrying a rifle, on his X profile, with the caption: "We stand with Hamas. Hamas stands with us, together we are Palestin and Palestin will be free. With our souls, with our blood, we will conquer Al AQSA (sic)."
By the afternoon Amad appeared to have removed the post.
Defending his post, Amad added: "Seeing a silent picture incites a reaction depending on what lenses you are wearing. One is able to make a determination of violence (sic)."
"… I hope you can determine if the rifle is a toy or not since it's okay for the selected public to see violence in the picture of a protest(ing) person. People should not be told how to protest in South Africa."
When asked about ownership of the weapon and whether his post might incite violence, Amad instead declared his support for Palestine and Hamas.
He called on people who stand for the liberation of Palestine to protect themselves against those inciting violence against them.
"We do not condone violence. We will never condone violence. We understand that we have an obligation to continue the fight against apartheid. When political parties in South Africa openly declared war against Hamas, that was never interpreted as violence," he said.
In April this year, Amad resigned from the mayoral position hours before a planned motion of no confidence could be tabled against him.
DyshApp: Former Chelsea star, Mikel Obi, has stirred reactions online following an attack against demanding family members that act entitled.
In an interview with fellow football player Rio Ferdinand, the former captain of the Super Eagles bemoaned the fact that, in Africa, families frequently have the right to inherit an individual’s wealth.
According to him, when an African person gets money, many cousins and relatives start to make demands, and some of sisters married men who just wanted to related to him because of his status.
The football player said that he sometimes had to be tough and set aside his personal demands since these people have so many children and need him to take care of them.
Mikel Obi stated that these extended family members believe he owes them money and threaten to go to the press if he refuses. It is prevalent in Africa, according to the football player.
In his words;
“When you come from Africa, when you make money, it’s not your money. You have all these relatives, cousins, and your sisters go off and get married to some guy who just wants to get married into Mikel John Obi’s family because his life is sorted, and then you start looking after this guy, and before you know it, they keep having so many kids and you look at it like,
‘Okay, you’re having this many kids, who are going to look after them?’ It’s you! It’s the culture because, for them, you owe them that, so sometimes you have to be strong and say, ‘You know what, guys, enough is enough; I don’t care’. They give you this thing whereby ‘if you don’t do it, we’re going to go to the press’. After all, what have I done for you guys? But this happens a lot in Africa. Not everybody comes out and speaks about it.”
Is this true😂

Truths9ja: Wow 🤩 “Messi or Ronaldo” – Nigerian superstar Wizkid picks his G.O.A.T Ronaldo and Messi have been battling it out for years as the best player in history.
Nigerian music artiste, Ayo Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, has joined the discussion about who is the greatest player in history between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The Grammy Award winner said in a social media video going viral that he doesn’t watch football but would support Ronaldo.
More than a decade ago, the Ronaldo vs. Messi argument began to gain steam, and even certain Nigerian stars, like Mikel Obi, chose the Argentine striker over the illustrious Real Madrid player.
While Ronaldo was welcomed to the Saudi Pro League after making a stunning transfer to Al Nassr, Nigerian goalscorer Odion Ighalo declared his adoration for the Portuguese ace.
The Essence crooner, who has made waves across the globe, answered an interviewer’s question in a quiz when he was asked “Messi or Ronaldo” on Red Radio.
“I don’t watch football (laughs), Ronaldo I guess” ,the Nigerian musician replied, laughing.
The Nigerian artiste might not be a fan of football due to his dedication to his music, but the 32-year-old have had his songs played in several soccer stadiums in the past.
However, the Brown Skin girl featured artist will be taking his music to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium on the 29th of July, 2023.
Seun Osewa and his useless mods. Disabling my comments on Islamic posts, but giving your Muslim brothers free ride on Christian related posts. By the time we swear for una, e go be like say dem rub aboniki for una blokus. Make una dey play
yinkeys: Go ask the people you pay tax to There’s really nothing to discuss with you because it’s obvious you’re a joker, to think a private individual is responsible for enlightening you Why don’t you ask the institutions you patronise to fulfill their corporate social responsibilities Silly dude, you are not worth having a discussion with.
That’s why I’m different from Ramaphozic fools like you who claim to know their history but pay no attention to overall historic trends and ancient landmarks, reflected across socio-cultural and religious facts, of the world around them. Avenging a bitter past is knowing one’s history, right?
yinkeys: South Africans see Israelis as the terrorists Some Nigerians see Hamas as the terrorist
Just shows you where we have a lot of ignorant people on the continent who know nothing about history, global politics besides the one their colonial lords told them
You’re a fool. Upon all the history you know, what have you done in your household? What have you done with what you have? How many times have you mobilized boys in your underdeveloped village for environmental sanitation, with funds from your own pocket? How many heads have you sponsored through school, outside your family umbrella? Apart from blaming your ancestors and colonial masters for a living, what have you done with what you have? See Ramaphozic idiots talking about knowing history. There are very few mentally stable people in South Africa. Idiots who know their history indeed!
Confirmedzombie: I beat my chest, in few weeks time. Israel will be levelled down.
Allah is in control. Hamas will overcome.
Insha Allah
And if after few weeks nothing like this happens, that means your Alah is inferior to Yahweh, the God of all creations.., and he’ll continue to get his ass whooped by the Almighty Yahweh.
Sonia Adesuwa, the estranged wife of former Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, has taken to social media to make serious allegations about him.
She claimed the former Manchester United player was sleeping around with different women including a Nollywood actress and a Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality star.
In her recent outburst, Adesuwa also threatened to expose more of Ighalo’s dirty secrets.
Adesuwa also claimed she helped Ighalo throughout his career and assisted his immediate family travel to Europe.
Nairaland is full of deranged kids, who’ll rape their own sisters and mothers in a pretext to be high on weed. I went through the first two pages, no one seem to criticize ighalo, because he’s a man who’s got money. Same way they bashed Annie Idibia instead of Tuface. One mark of a sick generation is victimization of its weaker gender.
donphilopus: It was bro. Why are the numbers only changing in Kogi Central? So you actually believe 730 can be accredited out of 745 registered voters in a polling unit in Nigeria? The voter register has been existing since 2010 or so. Nobody died? Nobody traveled? All of them traveled home just to vote? Lol.
Yahaya Bello isn't just wise. If Wike was in his shoes, he would have rigged that election without any traces. Just like Natasha, Muri would retrieve his mandate if he provides enough evidence in court.
Politics › Re: Process To Designate Anambra As NDDC Oil-Producing State Begins At Senate by Karnice600: 8:21am On Nov 28, 2023
