Isn't there a law that clearly states that a prescription drug like codeine shouldn't be sold without a doctor's prescription? Why then does the greedy ibo drug store owner clearly flout that law?

Boss13:
The Landlord is responsible for all repairs and maintenance because he/she owns the asset and enjoys benefits in the form of rent from the usage of the asset and in order to continue to enjoy this benefit, he/she must ensure the asset is in good form.

However, you must review the tenancy agreement you have with your landlord or estate management company. If the contract stipulates that repairs and maintenance would be undertaken by the Tenant, then you may have to contribute. If there is no such condition in the agreement, the Landlord would be responsible for such repairs.

On the other hand and because many Landlords in Nigeria are ill exposed and vindictive, you may consider contributing to avoid future problems which may result to termination of the contract at a point you may be at a disadvantage position.

I am giving you this advice based on what is expected and what is practically obtainable and what I have experienced. I remember my bachelorhood, when I was residing on the mainland, my Landlord insisted I pay N4,000 per month as PHCN. I was paying for his power consumption and mine and there was even change. He never issued me any receipt. I discovered this after my investigation, and after paying for 3 years. I went to PHCN and they were shocked. I saw the monthly consumption and payment. I confronted him and that was the genesis of our very toxic relationship till I relocated to the island.

On the island, the estate management company is responsible for all repairs and maintenance even down to my doorknob. Any issue, I escalate and they fix it. However, if there is any delay and I can no longer wait, I can proceed to fix it, send the receipt to them and deduct it from my rent.

Hope you are able to note the difference.

Actually the reason behind such immodest behaviour is not far fetched.

I can relate too, my mum is undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy now, and it hasn't been easy for her and us. I respect you man.

Why everything goes for news, Is it not normal to stand by your wife when she is sick? what is the big thing here .It is only good that the lady went for treatment early but that does not give room for the show how many years now and after? Chemotherapy

I am inspired. In a society with no vacancy for people facing special health needs, here comes someone willing to give it all. Adversity shows the true colors of a person.
Shame on fake friends.

Living with disabilities or peculiar health challenges like cancer, sickle cell disease etc can be pretty tasking. You'd be amazed at how far a little love, care and acceptance would go.

Is it that you people have not evolved to the point of understanding that chest beating and lack of modesty is generally socially unacceptable?

Did the world evolve into valuing modesty & humility and leave Ibo's behind? Ever heard the wise saying that pride always comes before a fall?

Even one of your greatest intellectuals wrote many years ago that one of the greatest weaknesses of the ibo is their tendency to irritate "through noisy exhibitionism". To think you people are still ignorant of the negative consequences of your chronic immodesty shows you have a very long way to go in this country.

I'm not saying that you should change your behaviour because you're clearly helplessly plagued with this social handicap, but I'm just surprised that you think immodest behaviour is welcome anywhere in the civilised world, even by those that actually have things to brag about.

Yet, not one Nigerian of pure eastern ancestry is on the Forbes list.

What is your defination of "ahead of you". I have eastern relations pure and mixed; I know what poverty in the east looks and unfortunately feels like.

The eastern part of Nigeria is the worst part of Nigeria to live on less than a dollar a day.

The entire wealth generated by most eastern businessmen comes from the ports (import). The current disapproval from the eastern elites towards the current government is largely associated with the new policies in the ports.

The large rise in IGR from the customs and sister agencies came out of the improvement in revenue collections, the bans of tooth picks, rice and others affected more eastern business than others.

I have said it in the past, eastern businesses cannot compete with the current changes in the Nigerian economy, they are already making less money, than their counterparts in the north; south-south and south-west.

I can write a whole academic paper on the demise of the eastern commercial hegemony. Coscharis recently accessed a 10billion naira loan from the FGN and our pride Innoson loan from GTB was about 3BN; compared to Rabiu BUA or Aliko Dangote accessing loans running to hundreds and billions of dollars. BUA $400+ M, Dangote $10+ B.

I mean you cannot tell anyone than Osha (Onitsha) has far more millionaires than Kano city; you can claim it but the IGR tells us a different story; generally.

Half your productive workforce is either in Lagos or offshore. You have a big problem in the east, and your solution lies in real and not suppose commercial and industrial output on Nigerian soil.

What will become of eastern business as more products are banned?

Nobody is saying being a virgin adds to character.

Being a virgin is a show of good character, one must have good character and self discipline. It is weak women that sleep around, a strong woman would never allow herself be used

Please give specific examples of this communities up North.

In Nigeria, 43% of girls are married off before their 18th birthday. 17% are married before they turn 15.

The prevalence of child marriage varies widely from one region to another, with figures as high as 76% in the North West region, and as low as 10% in the South East.

While data shows a 9% decline in the prevalence of child marriage since 2003, action is needed to prevent thousands of girls from being married in the coming years. In northern Nigeria, parents have complained that the quality of education is so poor that schooling cannot be considered a viable alternative to marriage for their daughters. https://www.girlsnotbrides.org/child-marriage/nigeria/

Nigeria has one of the highest child marriage prevalence rates in the world. With 1,193,000 women married before the age of 18. Nigeria is the third country worldwide for absolute number of child brides (United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)).

In 2013, about 47 percent of the women in Nigeria aged 20-24 were married in union before age 18. Child marriage occurs when one of both parties are below the age of 18. While boys can be affected, the practice predominantly impacts girls.

According to UNFPA child marriage by sub-national regions in Nigeria showed the northwest region having 72 percent, northeast region 72 percent, north-central region 37 percent, and southwest 15 percent; the south-south region reported 26 percent and southeast region 17 percent. Child marriage occurs more frequently among girls who are the least educated, poorest, and living in rural areas.

Child brides are more prevalent in northern Nigeria, particularly in rural areas because girls living in rural areas tend to marry before those living in urban areas. This was why the UNFPA in collaboration with the Kaduna State government in northwest Nigeria launched the Adolescent Girl Initiative in Northern Nigeria. The collective is looking to improve safety for school girls, delay marriage, and promote female empowerment through access to education.

Members of the initiative held an event in Kaduna on Wednesday, August 17, 2016. Dignitaries at the event included the Governor of the State Nasir El-Rufai.

Nancy Smith, a representative for the Canadian High Commission in Nigeria who was also at the event in Kaduna said northern Nigeria has the highest rate of female illiteracy in the country and accounts for negative health outcomes, which include: the highest maternal mortality ratio (MMR), infant mortality, as well as the highest rate of early marriage. http://nigerianreporter.com/2016/08/20/child-marriage-in-northern-nigeria-nigerian-newspaper/

I was not talking to the OP. I was responding to you. You made a post justifying the pride and bragging and asking someone to also brag if he wants. Well as long as you insist on keeping your national sport of bragging and arrogance don’t pretend not to know why you are disliked.

As for the Boko Haram shedding innocent blood, I am sure you can’t find any post where I justify them. I am surely allowed to dislike more than one thing at once. I dislike the violence of extremist Muslim jihadist. I also dislike the arrogance of proud Igbos.

honeychild:
My dear nobody likes a braggart. Not even God.

Prov 6:16,17:
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look ,a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

Prov 8:13
13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Chinua Achebe is the first proof I got that once you tell Nigerians the bitter truth, they become your enemy.

I can never forget the curses Nigerians were laying on that man simply because he spoke the blunt truth without adding sugar to it.

I even had to buy the book just to find out what was driving Nigerians crazy...

But now I am much older and less naïve, I finally understand the reality of the Nigerian environment.

freeze001:
Why are you overly concerned about the so-called chest beating? Do the Igbos brag with ur property or achievement? Do u not have d mouth and means to brag? If u don't like or know how to why hate others who do? Between the acclaimed chest beating and BH terrorism which is the crux of the op, which is worse really? Have Igbos raided anywhere they live in outside Igboland to forcefully steal and take from natives? What is it really?

-Firstly, i’m not your brother and would never be. Nothing to be pain about as you don’t have anything I’d ever want or need.

-Secondly, your reply is so full of holes that I feel like a mosquito in a nudist colony. But what I can say now is your people are not exactly known as truth seekers or honest bunch and your history & contemporary events have shown that, but rather a dishonest unreliable revisionists as your completely false assertion here proves.

Upon all your igr, your youths are always roaming about playing gambling. An average Igbo man don't depend on the govnt or useless igr. I know how many Yorubas that enters my shop for alms daily. The fashion you're talking about, Yorubas depend mainly on uniforms every weekend you see 1000 adults wearing the same cloths, is that what you call fashion?

Abeg shift.
