Politics / Re: Our Nigeria And The Lies They Told Us! By Dennis From PH by kkon(m): 7:08am On Jan 24, 2016 |
BeClever: THE MYTHS:
As a boy growing up on the street of Port Harcourt, I was told so many horrible things about Igbos:I was told that Igbos were planning to push Rivers people to Abia State for the people of Abia to inhabit Rivers State because of our resources.
I was told that Igbo people enslaved and ruled over my people in Bori the traditional headquarters of Ogoni Kingdom..
I was told that Odumegwu Ojukwu, Onyeka Onwenu and other prominent Igbos brazenly rejoiced over the execution of my uncle Ken Saro Wiwa because of the role he played during the Civil War. I was told that it is better to be slaves to Hausas than to be brothers to Igbos because, Igbos are worse than Hausas.
THE EFFECTS:
These things made me to terribly detest Igbos beyond what you can imagine, I was always skeptical, cynical and suspicious while dealing with Igbos. It also affected my friendship with Igbo guys, I was always careful not to be a victim, no matter how they value the friendship, as long as they are Igbos, they were bad eggs to me.
It also severely affected my relationship with Igbo girls, 70% of the girls I have seen are Igbos girls but I have never treated any of my Igbo girlfriends fairly because, I programmed my mind not to be interested in anything beyond the fun attached to the chemistry of boys and girls stuff while dealing with an Igbo girl, I didn’t want to make the mistake of dating an Igbo girl to the extent of marrying her.
THE DISCOVERY:
I was posted to Akwa Ibom State for my national youth service in November 2013, there I made so many Igbo friends, almost 60% of Akwa Ibom corps members are from Igbo extraction, mainly from IMSU, FUTO, ABSU, UMUDIKE, ESUT and IMT.
There I saw how determined a typical Igbo youth is, there I saw the natural tendency for economic success in a typical Igbo guy, there I saw the reason why Igbos are entrepreneurs allover the globe, there I saw that God specially gave them the metaphysical eyes to see money in things and where you don’t even think of smelling money, there I saw that even though the Igbos have had severe political travails and marginalization, they will forever remain the economic salt of Nigeria.
While we were serving, those of us who are Port Harcourt breed UNIPORT/RSUST corps members were always complaining that Akwa Ibom is beautiful but not groovy like Port Harcourt, we were always complaining that the town is dry with no night life like Port Harcourt. But our friends from the Igbo extraction were seeing things differently, they saw Akwa Ibom as a beautiful virgin land highly in need of economic exploration, they saw huge business opportunities in where we saw boredom.
We were complaining of the insufficient N19,800 ‘alawi’ (allowance) while they were seeing it as potential small scale business capital. We used our alawi to club in one night because, we didn’t see it as good enough to help us, while our Igbo friends inject it into their small scale businesses.
We were always going to Tropicana to see movies while our Igbo friends are busy going to Lagos to bring wears and jewelries for us to buy. We were always calling home for money but our Igbo friends were sending money home instead.
At the end of my service year, I said I was going back to Port Harcourt because I believed Uyo was too dry for me to hustle, but my Igbo friends stayed back because they saw Uyo as a land lacking business and as such, it’s good for them to make money through the introduction of different businesses.
THE REVERSAL:
I came back to Port Harcourt then pondered on my experience with these Igbo brains, I then realised why people hate them, I felt bad seriously for wrongly hating them all these while, I decided to love them because, they have the kind of zeal I’d love to emulate.
THE CONVICTION:
When I was fully convinced that the Igbos are not only my role models but my blood was when they went against all odds to make Goodluck Jonathan their own, they loved him even more than some us from the SouthSouth, they gave him their full support at the poll not minding the consequences. Ever since, I couldn’t stop loving Igbos but to love them even more.
THE RECOMMENDATION:
Igbos drive the economy of every towns and cities in Nigeria, nobody can change that, so instead of hating them for doing business in your place, I’d advise you compete with them even if you know you can’t beat them because, it is your land that is benefiting economically and otherwise with such healthy competition, it is a win win situation.
IN CONCLUSION:
Igbos are subject of hate in this country, apparently due to wrong perception, but I personally think Igbos are cool like any other tribe, and bad like any other tribe too. Though my main problem with them is that, they never admit their flaws no matter how glaring but they are always quick to lampoon the slightest folly of other tribes.
If you want to be successful economically, think like Igbos! —–By Dennis, Rivers State. is this d dennis I know 4rm ISS onne. Holla if u are the one u should know seckey. |

Bruv pls if u can, stay away from saloon cars, Nigerian roads just don't help them at all, if u can afford it go for a jeep, the higher ground clearance benefits cannot be over emphasised.
The Muscle is a great car, like all other cars what matters most is engine maintenance!!
Pls find one mechanic and stick with him!! I repeat do not go around giving your car to many different mechanics! .
Do your servicing every three months maximum, use only totyta coolant in your radiator!! Never use water and this coolant should be drained once a year!
Thanks 4 dis really needed 1st hand info 4rm a previous user, cos I got a lot of conflicting info 4rm pple saying d issues are numerous in the muscle camry.. |

Not so bro, just use the grade oil inscribed on your engine cap, and also always use Coastal oil for the servicing.
Lexus are one of the strongest cars around, hence why u see everyone rushing to buy one.
Maintenance is same with every other car as in depending on the distance you drive everyday I recommend you do an oil change every three months, also use Toyota coolant not Abro then you are good to go.
Lexus cars are stronger than any Toyota you can mention because Toyota build them as luxury brands
From the RX300 to the GX470 they and exquisite pieces of machinery ..a Lexus is a dream to drive... trust me I am a camry muscle convert please looking at going 4 d muscle wats ur take on this ride. .I. E in terms of durability, fuel economy etc, any issue I should be wary of. Really wud appreciate ur input thanks. |
