If IMF and World Bank want more taxes in Africa then it's a fabrication from the government of Kenya that the Ford Foundation is sponsoring Kenyans against taxes.

There is a difference between ae and æ

There are various types of tomato sauce. Some contain sugar as a preservative while others don't. Choose your preferred one and stop complaining because of ignorance.

Can you imagine and yet

helinues:
Critical thinking with those who are headless mob? Where is the head to reason things logically?

Hahahahaha

Unfortunately, you are not intelligent, the poor will soon start eating the rich if you continue doubling your obsession.

Who created the disasters Nigerians are mourning? Nigerians are literally on the death penalty by the policies of the government you supported in the last nine years without an end in sight but you are fixated on "me against them". Please save your generation and stop babbling.

The problem with people like you is you double down on digging holes inside the pit you find yourself thinking you are doing yourself a favour.

helinues:
Buhari or Jubril?

Distract, obfuscating, and tribalizing every discussion are your hallmarks to avoiding critical thinking.

Anyone who voted for Buhari twice and voted for President Tinubu has lost the moral compass to advocate a viewpoint on National policies and politics without first apologizing for what he/she did knowingly or otherwise. It's one thing to believe a lie and gossip about it the first time but to proudly double down on such the second and third times is a scourge.

It's a curse if you can't muster the courage to apologize.

I just found this on Twitter. Changes are constant and Nairaland is ripe for a safe space and freedom from bully and incitement from cavemen and youngsters.

My question is when. Seun Osewa we need answers, over to you.

DevilsEqual:
Why is it not the case for Umahi or Hope??

It's not even a tribal thing, Politics is more of a game an Individual needs to learn, an Art to master

Read up on the book "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli and u will understand things more

Anybody would gravitate towards those with value, if all of una for East sleep face one direction, dem go bypass all of u

It may interest you to note that I am talking from experience. I advised Okorocha when he was making a hell of noise about national politics until it dawned on him that foreign and local leagues are not the same.

I have numerous experiences that Umeahi may want to tap from but he is still a baby in national politics until he pokes into the honeycomb. Every politics is local, Umeahi lost a whole deal of his political capital when he attacked Peter Obi, the same thing Emeka Ihedioha did, and became a political orphan notwithstanding his numerous apologies.

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma can't walk the street of Owerri or any suburb in Imo State in the open since he became Governor hence nobody takes him seriously out of the power of incumbency he wields.

Being used and dumped in Nigerian politics happens when any politician loses organic support.

He is not rising beyond his limit. The owners of Nigeria have a cap on him. Ask Rochas Okorocha, Orji Uzor Kalu, and Ogbonnaya Onu CON,
the former Science and Technology Minister.

MT:
Why will traditional rulers take 5% of the allocation?

On what basis and for what?

The Governors are not happy. They will just abandon their responsibilities and force the local govt to take them up while stealing the money.

Imagine such unconstitutional rubbìsh.

ExudeLoveToAll:
There is nothing like LCDA, it's just a term for a supposed agency in Lagos State, it's like a community development committee of any community elsewhere. Either the committee gets subvention from those who formed it or seeks donations from wealthy individuals in the community.

The area Council is directly funded by a stake from the 52% budgetary allocation due to the Feds.

What is the fuse about these as regards the court ruling? It stipulated the LGAs in Nigeria and none of those you stated. That Lagos has been using some funds from the LGA to fund LCDA has nothing to do with the ruling.

Do you even understand what financial autonomy means? The chairman is accountable to the counsellors and not to the State Governor or other non-constitutional creation and who would give their LGA allocation to the State Governor?

Just for votes. The notion that the country is worth nothing for political exigencies is troublesome.

Which gains? The gain of greed.

Bashir El-Rufai

The only cryptic message there is the open admission that World Bank and IMF have been interfering in our elections.

This is wetin dem dey do for streets in Aba.

Okay naw.

The executive branch doesn't ratify treaties, the people's parliament (Legislative Branch) is the organ of government responsible for doing so

Military personnel suffering from Parkinson's disease can't continue as officers. It's a reason for retirement.

Propaganda.

Officials, however, would not say where the HIMARS – which have a range of fire of about 80km – were destroyed, nor would they provide details regarding the nationality of the foreign personnel.

Russia should just say It's a mistake and we are investigating and the outcome will be made public. Whether they investigate or not, the statement alone is a goodwill message out of war.

Zwooks:
My lady open your eyes. I am not Igbo nor have any Igbo relatives. But I will never believe the narrative posted by the police. If truly these men engaged them in a shootout. They should show us images of the scenes. At least bullets would do great damage to the community they engaged in the gun battle



Yorubas are pushing for an ethnic war with the anti-igno narrative they keep pursuing and as we have been shouting in the SS, we will not sit back while the Yorubas try to ignite the entire country. Every election Yorubas won't let us have peace pursuing a narrative that doesn't exist to constitute tribal dominance

I didn't quote you. The comment wasn't meant for you.

The use of IPOB to demonize the Igbos is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in Nigeria that's why it did not take Malami 24 hours to proscribe IPOB as a terrorist organization after the Southeast Governors communique.

Mazisimonekpa:
Mazi Simon Ekpa
Prime Minister

This fake boy again?

madridguy:
Thank you Mazi Ekpa. I think you should warn IPOB to keep their madness to the Igboland alone... No one cares what you turned your region into.

We (Igbos) are all IPOB including all APC stalwarts from the Southeast. You can say whatever you like Igbos don't care about your political numbness.

These men are criminals. They would've long been gone in Aba or Onitsha.

Kudos to the Nigerian Police.

Paraman:
Lagos is a slum but Anambra and Abia state nah Dubai

Bye bye. You win

Paraman:
If Lagos is a slum, what will that make Anambra and Abia state?

There's a wise word there that says "Stop comparing Apples with Oranges"

When people use ratios and comparisons in science and mathematics, the objects do have elements of commonality. Dates of creation; features like topography, federal presence, administrative headquarters etc.

Secondly, read the comment you quoted before responding.

Paraman:
If Lagos is a glorified slum, what will that make Anambra and Abia state?

Stop comparing a recovering region with regions that surpassed centuries of investments without wars or attacks.

Anambra and Abia State started in 1970 after the war. There was no road, infrastructure or amenities that survived the war. The Arab pilots were ordered to bomb everything that was standing or would likely be used to hide from the sky.

NB: Apologies for quoting you. I don't expect a civil and courteous response.

Dshocker:
The only heaven is the one on earth, there is nothing like the afterlife.

No Evidence 🧠

There are UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) here and there. The scientific community agreed that their technologies are far from ours and yet a village boy like you still thinks God doesn't exist. Who are UFO operators?

Whalis:
Can you answer this?
How did you know that you are Igbo?
Did someone from Abia come to tell you?
Now I say Bia and I say I am Ikwerre and you say Bia and you say you are Igbo. Is it wise I say since you say the same Bia with me that you are were? Don't you think Igbos are Ikwerres? Americans (US) were originally from Europe, especially The UK. Today US is bigger than the UK. If this had happened in prehistoric times it would have been difficult to believe that the US left the UK based on its present size and achievements.
Scientific studies have been carried out in Uniport even by Igbos scientists that established that Ikwerres and Igbos are distinct people. Please check this it is online. The scientists who carried out this study are Igbos.
Language similarities do not happen only in Igbo and others. It is so in other people all over the world. Ukraine and Poland, Sweden and Norway, Finland and Denmark; Urhobo and Isoko, Yoruba and Itsekiri similar languages different people.
Igbos should learn how to live with this reality.
Also, tell me the Igbo word for Yes.

It wasn't Igbos that said Ikwerre is a sibling to Ngwa, it was Ikwerre who said so.

My question becomes if your people said Ngwa and Ikwerre are of the same mother and the same father. What scientific study differentiates between two siblings?

Scientific study that couldn't produce toothpicks let alone differentiate ethnicity and race.

Most women don't care about men's struggles, they hang out at the finish line and pick the winner.

As I've said, women will always try to mess up a good thing because of hypergamy.

It's like, imagine you're a badass MMA fighter, undefeated with a record of 10-0, knocking dudes out left and right. But the moment you take a hit and get knocked out in the ring, her attraction hits the mat too.

Women want their men to be the champ, always. They're constantly scouting for the best, even if you're already up there. Dealing with women? Yeah, it's tough. That's just the plain truth of it.

Slytiger:
I don't know much about the topic, but I just watched a video of "Nna Mhen TV"after reading the topic and going through the thread.

Everyone he interviewed in the Etche community in Rivers State told him they weren't ibos. Although he tried to convince them in saying that they were Ibos. Those ones even pointed out the difference in the languages to him.

And those you interviewed still couldn't update their online profile.
