Uzodimma’s speech wasn’t unexpected. Let’s all hail Muhammadu Buhari as the greatest thing to happen to Igbos because without him, Igbos will remain a dot nation, landlocked with no access to any part of Nigeria, wallowing in 5% economy.

Before the 2nd Niger Bridge, Igbos were risking their lives swimming in shark, crocodile and piranha invested river Niger to get to other parts of Nigeria.


Let’s thank Buhari and the contractors for rendering and potential commissioning of the best bridge in the world.
They are visionary and could see the economic potential of the south east Nigeria.

The widest part of the project is a 16 toll station to facilitate speedy repayment of the cost. 8 on either side with police, army, custom and navy check points a few hundred yards from the bridge. No one must be left behind.

Akpuo isi, akpuo afu onu…yes good hair cut is followed by trimming of the beard.

They knew about Abramovich's corruption in 2003, he even admitted to paying £10 million bribes to Russian government officials. The British government are hypocrite's.

I agree. Britain knew about the deal and how he made his money buy they allowed him to invest in the Uk. The government have benefitted through taxing etc.

Same with Thaksin Shinawatra, former prime minister of Thailand from 2001-2006. He disappeared from Thailand after being overthrown and indicted over allegations of abuse of power and corruption.

He invested in the Uk, bought Manchester City and started their resurgence. He was the one that sold to the present owners, The Abu Dhabi United Group.

There are lots of corrupt people from Africa and especially from Nigeria, Asia, Eastern Europe hiding their loots in London.

Mikelarteta:
He should be sent to jail and all the trophies Chelsea won the last 19 years should be awarded to Arsenal.

Youngxx:
Waytin bring guys matter inside this issue?..... Have you seen a guy with those hearings or dreadlocks searching for a job?
All there trying to say is that someone has to look nice and responsible when searching for a job

Like the op, can’t you people tell the difference between ear and hear??

Bigredmachine:
I detest guys who wear hearings, plait their hairs, do artificial dread locks, the one that annoys me most and always make me wish I have power to eliminate them without being questioned is guys who sag l...

Note that if u are a music star , a celebrity, that does all these, I would have no problem... But to see young people who just want to belong sag their jeans, makes me mad

Why do you call that hearings? Mr perfect, have you not heard of ear or earring before?

Loverofpeace:
Lol
I mean no harm.

That was how other fraternities started. Raising leaders, fighting oppression and empowering the black race. Soyinka and the rest of the pioneers started like this.

Kokorokooo, day don break for you.

NwaAmaikpe….you are needed here.

Iyaebe:
Hungry Meninist they should release him as well

Case closed.

RapistOnBail:

You can only hate the Northern culture and traditions from Afar. Like when you are in the East like the biafrans and Nyamiris.

Chukudi, pray to be a northerner so your mother can live longer without depression and stress.

Onye Tribalistic Morons.

What’s the point of this comment? Has anyone made any offensive comment about northerners?

ecolime:
Yes, I am a kid but old enough to know the bulk of their population voted for OBJ over Ekwueme and Ojukwu.

This thread is for us to see things from their own angle. Why not let the Igbos speak their mind?

I am an Igbo man, I don’t hate Tinubu and I know my friends and family do not harbour ill feelings towards him.
I actually have respect for the man, Fashola’s achievements and Sanwo Olu’s would be attributed or credited to Tinubu…need I mention Eko Atlantic city….

For your question…let’s be objective.

Pa Fasoranti’s daughter was shot dead on the express way by attackers who emerged from the bushes. Locals and people who used that road point fingers at Fulani bandits, Afenifere accuse Fulanis…Tinubu came on a condolence visit and you know the rest…

Did you watch this video… https://m.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=yPwWoKWvclw

That was Remi Tinubu, senator of the federal republic of Nigeria. Why would she go so low to harass that Igbo boy…the boy said he voted APC…what’s Reno’s business with who he voted for? Why was she generalising about Igbos? That was just a tip of the icebergs.
Igbo dominated areas were overwhelmed with agberos….infact one particular hooligan was given a beat down when he smashed ballot boxes in front of security men….that incident was turned into an Igbo vs Yorubas.

Apart from Tinubu and his wife Remi incidents, his daughter was made iyaloja and she has been having problem with traders at Ladipo.

I don’t want to include Oba Akiolu’s statement about lagoon and the attack on his palace during the EndSars incident and the vigorous attempt made accuse Igbos.

If you were Igbo, how would you feel. It’s on here you’d hear that Igbos hate Abiola, Obasanjo and even Osibanjo…

Outside of social media, I can say that the average Igbo man don’t really care about all these online craziness and accusations.

Personally, I’m indifferent about Tinubu. I think he has a talent for discovering and nurturing young leaders. I think he should stick to that. Yorubas are great managers and I think Tinubu has a pool to choose from….

Why shouldn’t he be a president instead. Im concerned about his antecedents. I wouldn’t want another Buhari whom I consider a disaster. He spends lots of time abroad going on medical treatment. Like Buhari, Tinubu has copied his medical travel habit, Buhari makes rude comments for a president against the Igbos, Tinubu did that, his wife did that, his daughter uses agberos at traders and when they resist, she comes with military and police men.

Tinubu can raise a young leader if he means well for Nigeria. His desperation and antecedents make him look like a greedy man.
His incontinence was very unfortunate. I wouldn’t mock a man who has medical issues. I think he should focus on his health and support a young candidate.

Xristars:
I just read a news on front page now, that some of these loans companies has just been closed.

Some of them you owing was involved in the list.

But my advice to you that might help a bit is try and borrow from close friends, make a list of 20 people that can gift you 2k without you refunding it. it's crowdfunding Sha. Use it and service some debts

Then sell some assets you have.

Then never borrow from them again

Then, you can learn an online skill, just as creation and sales of digital products.

just suggestions though.

Before resorting to loan apps, do you know how many people he might have borrowed from and never paid back? Do you know the number of people who gave him money without asking for payback? If that’s the case, he wouldn’t want to go back to those people for any kind of financial help and those people would be fools to even respond or pick his calls.

Kellzzyy:
Mumu

You called him mumu because he gave his opinion? You are the mumu here. You are gullible if you believe all that the op posted.

I’m sure if you hear the wife’s side of the story, you’ll be against this man and his philanthropy.

If you believe him, Send your account no to him, let him start making your weekend a happy one.


@op…..you can show your generosity and philanthropy here. There’s a thread about some lady and a sick child with nothing to eat. Show them love and may God bless you as you do.


I’m not sure what business the op does and the security of his job. It’s nice to show love to people but remember to put something away for the rainy day…the wife might be concerned about his habit. This woman has no child yet,maybe it’s time to focus on having your own children…I’m sure the woman would be happy to have her biological children smiling at her everyday….maybe it’ll open up her kind heart like she used to be.

Onitsha as a city need to be invaded by a thousand bulldozers, destroyed and all those 4 storey buildings dumped into the land fills and erosion sites.
A city with so much economic potentials. It should be one of the best cities in Africa…economically, academically and in sports…but it’s potentials haven’t been well managed. It’s congested and disorganised. It’s filthy and lacking in management.

omenkaLives:
Igbos are just something else. Doesn't it bother them that just about everyone else complains about their attitude?

For over a week, Rant Headquarters have been approving posts about what people think about people from different ethnic groups. People don catch cruise ontop Yorubas, Hausas, Fulanis, Igalas, Tivs, etc. Them yab them tire. Not left out of the yabbing spree and fun were Igbo members of the group.

But as soon as e reach Igbos time, it became a huge war!! They couldn't take even the littlest of innocuous jabs (which was what others endured, and which even they themselves gave others). It was all fun and games with other tribes, but when it got to their own turn, they started attacking anyone with a snide comment about Igbo men or women.

Of course most commentators found this attitude very irritating, and made it known to them. Interestingly, some Igbo members admitted they were ashamed of the attitude of their brothers who took things too personally whereas people were just having fun at their expense, just like they did every other tribe.

Igbos, you guys need to check yourselves. E no make sense anymore.

Check yourself first son. You are obsessed and the only change that obsession will bring about is the worsening of your mental, physical and physiological health.

You are one of the many who take things a bit too personal on social media and it will ruin you. You are too toxic for yourself. You are the type that will channel your frustrations on an Igbo employee if you were his boss because of your personal issues with another Igbo person elsewhere.

Stop moaning about Igbos and take care of and look after yourself first.

BSsniffer:
The last time igbos saw small power in nigeria it led to the killing of top leaders from other regions and the death of 3million igbos..... I'd rather support you guys getting your 5 state biafra than an Igbo presidency.

When the likes of Bishop Kukah make thought provoking statements, no one mentions his ethnicity, when Asari insults and offends with his speeches, no one says anything about his ethnic group. When Reno Omokri consistently criticise and offend with his tweets and false information, no one talks about his ethnicity but when one unknown and supposedly igbo person posts a provoking tweet or statement on social media, idiots like you with unsound mind will tag all Igbos and then start your rants about presidency and leadership.

You are an irredeemable idiot. You will not get better or heal.

benuejosh:
ANY HERDSMEN CRISIS OF WHATSOEVER IN BENUE IS A MOVIE SCRIPT DIRECTED BY ORTOM. Ortom through the Livestock guards will go into the most interior villages that are border towns with other northern states, pack all their cows and stock them in his farm. When this guy retaliate, Ortom will go about shouting herdsmen are attacking Benue. We the people in Benue all this. He is only painting the Fulani people as bad people. Ortom is the major cause of any killing in the state. He is sacrificing his village people for Senate 2023! Why is it that it is only his village people who share boundary with Nassarawa and another Northern state that are always attacked?? Ortom Ortom is the one instigating this crisis to paint Fulani guys bad, protect his failed image as a governor who for 7 years has not commissioned even one (1) project, who has backlog of salaries unpaid, pensioners dying because of hunger and still wants to contest for senate. This is witchcraft and evil. Ortom stop killing your people for personal gains. Nobody experienced any form of killing in Benue till Ortom became governor. He is the cause of killings in the state. WE ALL KNOW THIS.

The cause of the crisis according to you was that Ortom packed cows belonging to Fulanis and stocked them in his farm hence the retaliation from Fulani militia??

Since you know where the said cows were stocked and I believe the fulanis know the location as well, why attack and kill innocent and vulnerable people who are not connected with that?

Why leave the location of the farm where the cows were kept and which they should’ve attacked to kill innocent and unarmed people?

Are you sure you are from Benue state? How does your reason justify the atrocities being committed by the fulani?

smile11s:
Hon dr prince. Naija men like titles sha

Hon Dr. Prince…..

I have an aversion for titles like this but couldn’t say my mind because of the respect I have for this man.

This man read, worked hard, excelled and deserved the honour. May his soul rest eternally.

I just thought that the last two photos were not relevant. I think they messed up the thanksgiving notification. Why the need to show two different photos of the announcer? I thought he was related to hushpuppi with those bling bling and hat and why tell us he was the last child??

Where are the first son/child, second child?? Are they not part of this??

vicfajeze:
just don't behave like that Aboki guy that bleeped us up during world cup in south Africa though av forgotten his name

Sani Keita was a tough, rugged and good footballer. What happened to him in South Africa was unfortunate.

Panda7:
maybe he should be playing for his northern fc abi country

Stop being stupid mister. Sadiq Umar is a good player, highly rated in his club but he was awful in his last games with the Super Eagles at AFCON. It just wasn’t his tournament.

Simon Moses used to mess up his crosses but he was one of the best Super Eagles players at the last AFCON. He played one of his best footballs for Nigeria apart from the last match against Tunisia.

okuta007:
but you claim Itsekiris are yorubas easily on nairaland - you claim ilajes are yorubas, in the same vein how are ukuani's not ibo?

Okocha is from Anioma, his village is less than 20 miles away from Oliseh's village - all in Delta State, and their language is similar

so what da f v k are you talking about ?

My friend calm down. Sunday Oliseh said he was no Igbo man.
JJ Okocha never denied his ethnicity. He is from Delta state but an 042. Speaks Igbo well.

Sadiq Umar should avoid social media or try to ignore the bashings.
I feel sorry for him but football comes with a lot of passion.
Same have been said about some black players in the England squad.

Sadiq played an awful game in the first match. Yes he was slow and lethargic. Super Eagles fans wanted to see him lit up the game but he didn’t…it was frustrations that made a lot of people to vent their negative vibes on him.

Someone used to tell me that Iheanacho and Okoye (Gabros goal keeper) should be selling spare parts at Ladipo and he meant it. This man wasn’t Igbo.

The name is 2nd Niger Bridge not Muhammadu Buhari bridge of simply New River Niger Bridge.

tollyboy5:
When i was at senior secondary sch. I was the head boy and my writing was similar.
Tho i was using left. If your pikin dey use left it might be normal

For lefties, correct positioning of the book and how you stabilise it with your right arm matters.

I wrote with left but the sitting position made it hard for me. We sat on the long chairs with desk top, the type you’d find in most traditional churches (Catholic and Anglican)
My left hand/writing hand always made contact with the right hand of the kid next to me. It was frustrating for both of us and of course drew attention to me. I was forced to use right hand through constant canning and left hand tied to my side. I’d deal with any teacher that’ll try that with my child.
I learnt to sit at the left and edge of the desk. It helped for a while till I started using my right hand.

julybaba:
Dear Nairalanders, what can a parent or teacher do, to improve the legibility of this child's handwriting?
The child is currently in JSS3.
Your suggestions will be appreciated.

Please mod, I need your help to get this post to front page.
Thanks.

Is this child your biological kid or your student?

How well do you know him/her? The child’s environment and mental health matters here. Can he/she read exactly what they’ve written? Is he a child with ADHD?
At his stage and with this type of hand writing skills, has there been any attempt to force him to change from one hand to the other?….some lefties experienced this transiting from left hand to right hand. I was one of them and it wasn’t a nice experience for me.

Does he use or work with the computer a lot?

I think you need to pinpoint the problem, it’ll make the solution easier to implement.


First step…hand writing aids like copy books will be of great help
Assisting his writing and encouraging him to write within the line, spacing and to have patience will help.

Enough hand writing practice everyday will overtime induce good muscle memory that will help improve legibility.
Less time on his computer if he spends lots of time on it. Some kids type faster than they can write and when they are forced to write, they’ll find the effort boring and frustrating leading to illegible hand writing.

If he was a leftie and forced to use his right hand, that is wrong. NEVER force them to change. I was forced to use my right hand…I became ambidextrous. It would’ve gone very wrong for me.

I wish the child well.

Your machines shouldn’t be around the sewage. It’s a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other disease causing pests and rodents.

Guys, Do Something For Me Please, Go To Any Social Media Including Google And Type In FEMINISTS IN UKRAINE In The Search Boxes, Screenshot Any Result You Want And Upload It Here.
I'm Waiting!

Your type is worse than wet pvssy. In real life, you type gossip and worry more about the female folks. You go on Twitter and other social media and your major worry is the females.

Here is Kira Rudik, a Ukrainian MP.
There are many Ukrainian women like here….beautiful and can handle the AK47..

SocialJustice:
Na this attitude you take be perpetual slave for your own country so.

Nothing like slavery there mister.
Sometimes the hardest thug can be very humble to the most lilly-livered individual when dealing with him.

Attitude matters.

dapatro:
But you sha like wahala small ooo

Why didn't you apologize at the beginning and move on

I concur…

A simple ‘apologies sir’. I did say good morning to you a while ago…

Or apologies sir, you have lots of visitors and appeared busy so I decided to come back. Don’t be offended.

Sometimes our attitudes can escalate minor issues.

BanevsJoker:
Dem go soon scam this one. Just get a 95-year old woman to play the role of his Aunt. Tell him his Dad passed away 30 years ago and milk him for whatever foreign currency he came with.
My advise to him is : abort mission, return to base.

Why would you suggest the above? This man has been passing through lots of difficulties all his life. No contact with his biological mother as the woman doesn’t want to have anything to do with him.
He unfortunately didn’t know his dad and probably wouldn’t.
He has lived in orphanage till he was adopted.


Why would you be thinking of scamming him??

You are wired to think negatively and it’s bad.

LeoDeKing:
The regulation clearly stated OPTIONAL..

But Congo jews will soon be on their ways to start screaming islamisation and fulanisation of the police force.

Ask them how, they will start grunting like wild pigs.

Do you really believe that a Christian female police officer would have the ‘OPTION’ of not dressing like that in Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto, Borno and Zamfara states?
