He can't, this one get level

Soludo cannot dethrone him, he will only cease to recognise him as the Igwe of Neni from the government, till his tenure passes. Na Neni people choose abi selected and enthroned their Igwe. The government can choose to recognize him or not. Kingship is a different game in Igboland. Most Igwe's in Igboland operate form their respective private houses (palaces) and not town owned. Only few of them, like the Obi of Onitsha have town owned palaces.

Lo, even SIM will be happy to finish first term and not return for second term at this point. What WIke planned for him is really bad, so he is like a dying horse kicking to survive. That is what a man should do and not fold arms and allow your enemies to swallow you without a fight.

Someone that is yet to complete 1 year and they are about to take the sit away from him and you are talking of second term.

Indispensable85:



I dey laff u......
Are you new to this game?
The other group have been sitting with a maze too. Maze can be gotten anywhere. That's not a big deal.

At this point, any group can get any convenient location for sitting. It must not be the location proposed by the governor. He doesn't have such powers. There'll be no meaningful development in Rivers for the next 3yrs. The budget na for politicians to see money chop. We've seen this many times in my state Edo.
In the end let the court decide who's who at the higher courts. Don't forget the both factions have court orders in their favour to allow them operate.


But one thing I can bet you is that SIM can never return as governor and this his term will be turbulent all thru. If he's lucky to finish it. You'll begin to see illegality upon illegality going forward.

Lol, this one i talkign of second term. Guy man Fubara will be a happy man if he finishes his first term and won't mind so much much not coming back. He will try what he can, if he fails, he won't even beat himself. Person wey dey on him own, you appoint am to be governor and do everything for am.

You people don't understand that non-career politicians are not very desperate, just like Good luck Jonathan. You see him vying for president again, but if it was to be a career politician, he will be distrubing us every four years with elecetion.

Whalis:
I have this to say. If Fubara jettisons Wike he is a goner. Wike doesn't need to fight him but Fubara can't win second term if this imbroglio festers. This is the truth.
Amaechi and his group are waiting by the side to prey on him. He is not a seasoned politician and four years is not enough to close the gap. Rivers State has three senatorial districts. Ikwerre controls Rivers East where Wike comes from and he has overwhelming control of it. Ogonis control Rivers South East. This where SIM and Senator Abe come from and Abe controls this. SIM LGA is a minority here. Remember Abe contested with SIM and likely to contest again in 2027.
Rivers West is a little bit open. But this is where Obua who wanted to contest but Wike wedged against him from contesting. He is very influential here and remains Wike loyalist.
I like SIM but he can't win this. Democracy is a game of number. Even if Jonathan had given his precious assets to the north it wouldn't stop them from voting against him.
He can't win the same way I insisted Obi can't win despite his portfolios.

Don't be so mad, if a Christian feels this is religious and supports Israel, At least they share the old testament together. Muslims don't like both the jews and Christians and treat them both as total enemy (unbeliever/infidel). We know it will be hard for a Christian to marry a Jew, just like is not easy for a Catholic to marry an Anglican. But for any these to marry a muslim is "world war"

But then, at the end make out of this whatever you wish.

Rossikk:


Stupid mumu.

Go and try to marry an Israeli ‘Jewish’ girl and see how quickly she and her entire family will reject your black behind in 2 seconds.

Slave with no sense.

People that don’t rate you, you will be worshiping them like a fcking dunce.

Versitee:
I have been feeling like my husband has been cheating on me with our neighbors daughter. She is just about 23 years.

Yesterday which was Sunday, I went to our neighbors house around 6pm to ask if I could use their oven.

Their compound is not fenced so I just walked in straight to their backyard if I would see the man's wife.

I overheard this girl making a call. Apparently she was the only one at home and she wasn't expecting anyone.

She was asking the man over the fone who was sexualy better between his wife and her.

My attention was arrested immediately. I stopped to hear more of the conversation. When I had enough, I made my presence known. She quickly hung up and tried to put up an innocent face.

I also pretended like I heard nothing, I asked to use the oven and left .
Getting back home, I was worried if that was my husband that girl was talking to, so I decided to find out.


I got my husbands fone later that night and went through the call log. The time that girl was making that call was few minutes past 6. I checked my husbands fone and there was a number he called around that time.

The number was not saved on the fone so I decided to call that number on my own fone and my true caller identified the number as "Vicky hookup".

Guess what, the girls name is Victoria.

I was surprised because I have the girls number saved on my fone. But I guess the number I have is for her family and friends. The one my husband has is for clients.

I opened his WhatsApp and found no chat with the girl, so I decided to check his telegram. ( Normally I don't like telegram so I never open it on either my fone or husband's)

My husbands telegram was locked. I was surprised cos that is the only app locked on his fone.


To cut the long story short, I found a way to open the app, and I saw his chat with that girl.


It pains me to say that my husband has been having sex with that girl without protection.

I want to go for HIV test tomorrow. Please how do I confront my husband about this.

Also I am scared I might be infected with an sti.

My own is, how did you 'find a way' to open his telegram. You guessed password? and how many times did you try without the app freezing, or you na one of the Russian hackers? Lie lie !!! continue!

You sabi find a way to open locked app, and the only thing you could do with it is to open telegram instead of bank app!

Shikena:
Canadians are coded, maybe Nigerians out there are learning from them so don't let them fool you
A friend of mine is into IT Training, the way those Nigerians in Canada will shell out $5k in training as if it's nothing will shock you

Lol, you can't 'hide' how wealthy you are if you have it, at least aside buying cars, you will invest.

If you are not in Canada, go to indeed, check average gross job pay in Canada, factor in the taxes and pension contribution, then you know what the net is. Mind you it is the Canadian dollars. Then factor in the expensive rents and monthly expenses, then you will see clearly what I am saying for yourself without asking a lot. You can even check IT jobs too.

sukkot:
can you expand on how canada is a scam

Apart from the ease of settling and getting kpali, na that country scam pass. How many houses in Nigeria or serious investment are owned by Canadian based? how many u don see or hear of considering the population of Nigerians there.

twosquare:
Don't mind him...he doesn't know the worth of a software engineer and how much they really earn...a quick google research will fix that and want to stay in inflation-ridden nigeria where people are being driven into extreme poverty. Instead of him to have both advantages, come do vacation for Naija if he like this place so much.

You know how many software engineers that are out of real employment and do this freelance things? There is a reason they outsourced abroad from Nigeria. They want to keep cost low. He is unlikely to be hired by same company even with his experience in the company if he is on site.

You guys don't know what is going on!

Creamcrest:

The fact that you are in the US doesn't mean you know it all,if you move in with the right visa and go for good paying jobs like tech, healthcare you will surely enjoy the USA.

There's nothing abroad but you have refused to come back to the eldorado naija.

We are not coming back because you will follow laugh us, like after these years he came back with nothing.

It is easier not to leave in the first place, than to come back after leaving. If you Japa, you don japa ,nothing like coming back, it's like the real old days marriage, for better for worse.

If you 3k dolls job in Nigeria is not at risk and you leave Nigeria, quote me anywhere you will regret it.

akube34:
bro I Dey Canada too. Even if you Dey earn minimum wage, $80 a month is too small too send to your parents a month. Forget this entitlement mentality, let’s call a spade a spade, she is stingy

Are you for real? Like there are not people who are homeless in Canada, people who are squatting and can't afford rent, people who are in debt? Do you know her situation?

Basalt:


Firstly, I would like to know the details of the house you plan to build.
But I will advise you not to be discouraged by what I am going to type now, based on my personal experience.

If you have the plan of building Upstairs, then 10million naira can't even complete the decking level (forget about the quotation the engineer must have given you to attract the contract, he will still call and request for more money along the line.
I have spent approximately, 38200 Euros based on my well-kept record (which is equivalent to about #29,796,000) on my duplex but still not yet completed.
Price of building materials is very high now due to fuel price. To bring a truck of sand used to be 11000 but now over 30000 for just one truck alone.
I don't want to talk about rods, tiles , electricals, POP etc. But just note that 10million CAN'T complete decking level from foundation for a standard upstair (I can bet on it). That is excluding land price o o o.
Roofing alone will cost you about 3million or more, depending on the total sqm and the roofing sheet.
Foundation alone will cost you 2million or more depending on the type of house.

All these things I typed above is from my personal experience. I no add salt or maggi on top.

I feel your cost is quite high, but I think it depends on the cost of materials and cost of labour at the city where your site is located and the taste and design of your building.

Not sure if this includes the amount you bought the land and and land settling issues, if not hmmmm. Belike the person handing your project is building two houses (a duplex and a 4 bedroom bungalow)at a time, one for him and another for you.

CosmicDust:


You all get it wrong. I am not bitching about she not assisting me or my younger ones. I simply was expressing how a woman will feel less obliged to the parents that made sacrifices for her. That's the story here.

Story are you the parents? Allow the parents to complain, do what you can do and quit being a baby. No dey look siblings for family expenses, if you want to do, do. If you no get, say no get and mind your business. This is because you don't know what the other person is passing through, if you are not close to the person.

CosmicDust:



Because someone chooses to air out his mind online, you begin to judge the person that he is entitled? Did you read the piece, did i beg anybody for money, or what the fúck is your problem?

You problem is that you are entitled, wicked, a cry baby and probably a user, all at the same time but you don't want to see it. That write-up there simply advised you on what life should be about but you still have to cry and complain on top.

CosmicDust:


I didn't talk of her marital status.
Question is if you are abroad and doing well with a good job and your parents(not your siblings) need medical care, will you send 1/4th of the money despite having the capability to do more and wait for the worst? Kindly answer. It's alright not to have a conscience.

This is entitlement mentality. How do you know she has money?

Ok let me ask you, where does your sister work in Canada?, How much is her monthly salary? How much is her monthly expenses? How much does she have left after monthly expenses.

While you are at that, tell us what and what she has did for the family before now. Has she contributed to your expenses before now?

Also why at that, how old is she? why is she not married and na you the broke one even younger than she is, see money marry? Is she happy and fulfilled? What are her worries? Do you guys care about her worries except to send money?

You are really wicked, not just entitled and it is obvious you don't have your sister's good at heart. If I am your sister and I have money, I will rather prefer to throw it away than your hands touch it.

HaneefahRN:
You all should leave her be. Not everyone will be useful to family some people can be very stingy.
Even if I want to be stingy se it is to my parents? As long as she has a valid visa in Canada and has a job she can afford to pay 450K for her mum's hospital bills. Someone that has stayed 5 years people wey dey countries with not as much money sef can be more useful if they chose to.
Anyways parents should stop seeing money spent on children as investment for old age sha.

The thing is, how sure are you she has a valid visa. How sure are you she has a job? how sure are you she is not still on students visa working 20 hours a week. How sure are you she doesn't have health challenges.

CosmicDust:


She was partly sponsored there to do a Masters Programme. Few months later she got a job in a financial company and has been doing that for 5 years. Please tell me how I will be doing better than her.
I am here. I have a barbing saloon with 2 barbers, I have my own car that I use for cab hailing. And every month I bring out at least 70k to support my parents from my earnings because of their condition. I still have a wife at home. And I am not complaining. Please the situation you may considering isn't what it is.

See mumu, you have a wife at home but your older sister is not married but u think she is doing better than you. Na your sister fit una.

Gloriagee:
How bad can she be doing to be sending 40k? Unless she has a drug habit or shopping addiction, she can definitely do better...

Well, we move! That's my approach to life. I have zero expectations and that's putting it mildly. Just remove her from your mind and please don't wish her bad. Take care

If this is not entitlement mentality I don't know what is it. OP do what you can do for your parents without complaining. No dey look your older sister. If you no fit too, lock up too and stop being a baby.

Your sister sends 40k monthly, she is already trying. You re calculating how much is 40k in Canadian dollars. You are even expecting your sister who has spent only 5 years in Canada to be able to have enough money to bring you abroad. If your sister id actually who you say she is, it is obvious entitlement mentality from your side is a major factor to the way she behaves.

Because there is nothing she ever does that will be appreciated.

Moreover, do you know her burdens in Canada, have you tried to inquire? Does she work as a student? 20 hours a week? Has she overstayed her visa and not able to renew and now staying illegally? What is her status in Canada.

othermen:
When you look at his records on google scholar, you would have a little premonition.

While anybody can get their articles on google scholar, users or consumers that know their onions are as well concerned about the publisher or journal.

Is it indexed in Thomson-Reuters or Scopus or Scimago or another recognized index? What you find is that his publication is an offshoot of his own fictional book and little invested in academic rigor.

But then he has the charisma of a dogged Cornel West. He could have been more successful than Philip Emeagwali.

He presented himself as such and accrued benefits by such associations. He was invited to other institutions on the basis of such associations and he allowed himself to be so identified. He got the honorary doctorate as a result of these misleading associations. How no Nigeria scholar could look a little within as to his credibility is actually not ridiculous. It is even the aspiration of the genuine local scholar to get a reference from him.

But he was smart, he was no Moses Ochonu, or Farooq Kperogi or another in diaspora that had a critical opinion on ASUU. But his association with David is just one of those anti-climax movements. That association is perhaps his most prominent hamartia. He was trying to win the space and gain more influence on the back of David. He also associated with Linda Ikeji, but David is the one that has smart detractors: he is a popular fellow who has given a fight to the BBC and accused it, to such extent, to destroy its reputation. Oxford providing their platform for him, legitimizes such accusations, and the smart fellows David Hundeyin has crossed by his manner of journalism are much interested in his disastrous end. David didn’t lose out from this. Onyeka did. He perhaps lost all; folks would now review his books and find misogynistic nonsense and plagiarism and incompetence. He is not a film maker on the level of Mr Macaroni, but by his association in the past, there were those who’d considered it an honor to work with him, now he has lost that too, and all his credibility. And his reputable name will be associated with fraud. Don’t build on sinking sands.

I hope he gets all the supports he can get from those around him. And that those who used him as a ladder, do not genuinely abandon him. He can get a genuine doctorate degree and earn himself a genuine comeback in 2-3 years from now.

Also, he shouldn’t have had an opinion too on who was the better singer between Seun Kuti and one of the P Square brothers. Without earning David enemies, the dissatisfied lots from such a decision, could have as well get interested in ruining his reputation. Even if Farooq is not careful, the dissatisfied lots can find a post, where he subtly endorsed the Quran and infer he endorsed child marriage and women as subordinates. Thus, he is careful too. Or do you think Farooq can talk about homosexuality as haram or have an opinion that is traditionally from his place of origin or his religion, without getting the kick? That’s just one of the prices to pay.

Onyeka’s claim to authority was in Africa studies, a white person evaluating his methodology or reviewing his credentials would be less critical in their comments, else they are racist lots. At least as a future yahoo boy, trying to become the next Philip Emeagwali or Onyeka you learn the lesson in how to navigate their world through an intellectual endeavor. Don’t do the sciences where you can be easily disproved or rebuffed. Do an African related course, be an authority on the people of Sambisa, no one would question you that much, especially abroad.

In the end, he is a different Yahoo Boy.

Nice advice.

I think his problem is what Igbo people call "agwu". He is smart but "agwu" won't allow him be great. He can be likened to SpeedDarlington in the entertainment scenes, just that the later is very true to himself.

Could you believe he never completed any bachelor's degree programme he was involved in. He has no ordinary bachelor's degree. Shocking right? He wants academic fame so bad but he is not patient at all to follow the prerequisite 'ropes'.

basybasy:

Just kill yourself. Who votes Obi? How Hausafulani go vote Obi?

Lol , let me advise you, yah** is not good but if you have not started yet, go and learn and start because in the coming years that will be the only 'sufficient' survival means in Nigeria. Or better still Japa yourself out. What is coming doesn't know tribe, whether Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba.

Nigeria is financially on a life support (people don't know this) and with the ideology of Tinubu, the only way to survive is to earn from abroad and no one is ready to give job to Nigerians online at the moment.

Furiousboy:

How are you doing better? Tell me! Do you know the total numbers of homeless Igbos in southwest?

, For real?

Wailers are not tribe denominated. We are wailing because we don't want people homeless. Those Igbos you find homeless in Lagos are mostly touts and of course are mostly supporters of the drug Baron, they don't know better.

Godwin4444:
no b una support d policy cos u believe it will hurt tinubu

Non wailer, let us all (both wailers and non wailer) enjoy our Nigeria!

Godwin4444:
so u igbos will now wail for complete 24 years cos after tinubu 8 years another northerner will take over for 8 years

You wey no wail you get cash for hand? Abi Nigeria for wailers and non wailers are different? .

Even MORE wailers are financially doing better than non-wailers and living better lives than non-wailers.

We wailers just want better because we know we should be doing better

Better, no more strike, just deal with the useless Professors who rigged you in for us.

Cut their salary and force them to still teach, if they disobey send your boys to eliminate them one after the other. We support you on this.

I think both of you can't travel abroad as a couple if you don't provide evidence of court marriage which most embassies go ahead to verify.

My advice is, life is always a risk and gamble. Do your reasonable part to make the marriage work, enjoy it while it lasts or works. Then invest 'wisely' as a Nigerian while abroad. Whenever it packs up if at all it will, omoh exit the marriage like a big boy, no cry, move on like you were never married before. Trust me if you have this attitude about marriage, your least worries will be if it crashes or not.

Munamoqel:
yes but he is not intelligent he speaks uninspiring
You can't compare him to the likes of Sunusi adeshi and osinbajo
He sounds dull no dept
no clearity of ideas and igbotic accents .painful truth

100% I agree, An Osinbajo or Adeshi speaks more inspiring, with better composure and mannerism than Obi does but the mystery is, why you will project a Tinubu or Atiku whose senses are dwindling due to old age and can't even hold coherent conversations over an Osibanjo or an Adeshi. Still a mystery!!!.

This one again who literally overestimates his military capabilities. I think he has sycophant military heads or just he likes chest beating.

Irunma:
I got the visa !!! Submitted 19th oct received on the 4th nov.

I understand the rules are different if you are uniting with an Italian or a non-Italian. I understood you reunited with an Italian and your visa was issued quite fast. Did they also request for verification from you? I would want to understand if its possible this verification can be fast enough?

Thanks

fOFT:


Let me answer the question.
1. My spouse paid 250k (extortion) for verification sometimes in April
2. It took them two months to issue visa after much pressure. I called the embassy at least three times before they issued the VISA.
To be honest with you, I don't know why bureaucracy is a thing with italian instituitions.

Thank you for this info. So the idea is to immediately start calling and writing to them after paying. But from my experience, they don't pick calls on the numbers they listed on their website.

eucharian:
Hello everyone, let's keep this thread active, just submitted my application for family reunification (spouse joining spouse) so if you have any questions, you can ask away..

Please I have a question, after you have applied for visa, did they require an additional verification? if yes how much and how long does it take for this to be ready.
