Dear poster,
This may sound cliché, but what you are really missing is Jesus. This has nothing to do with your religion, but I am telling you that if you invite Jesus into your heart, and you begin to seek and do his will, then you will understand why everything that has happened has happened. If all the wise people on earth gather to advise you on this matter, it will not be as good as when Jesus directs you. Even I, who can relate to some parts of your story, I am not fit to advise you on this matter, but I can tell you with 100% assurance that your solution lies in Jesus; now the ball is in your court.

'I' just received the email from NVC with the instructions for the CEAC website. I was able to figure out some of the steps/events I was asking about earlier- they are; Payment of AOS and IV fees, uploading requested documents (nothing yet), AOS and Financial Evidence application, IV application. I think that all these have to be completed before the interview process, but I think you may have misunderstood my question earlier - I was asking what one had to do after their petition has been approved and their priority date became active. I appreciate your earlier reply, and I am sure that I would have more questions as the process goes forward.

nowhere:
Nothing..take the 'you' to mean the person. Again, wait for NVC and US embassy Lagos to schedule an interview and get you the interview details that will include how to do the medicals, what to come to the embassy with and when.

Okay, thank you @nowhere.

nowhere:
If you are not in the US, you are consular processing. Wait for NVC and embassy Lagos to decide when to get you the interview details. The wait time is mad!

Thanks, @nowhere. I am actually trying to find out this information for a family member who is in Nigeria (I am neither the petitioner nor the applicant).

Please, what other events are to be expected before the interview. I have heard of 'Welcome Letter', 'Case Complete', and a few other terms, but I am trying to understand the order of events because the process and process of getting information seem convoluted. For example, the letter received from NVC a few years ago includes a case number but not an invoice number, and the information on the CEAC website requires the invoice ID to access one's application. If you have gone through the process of having your petition (on your behalf) approved, kindly outline what things to expect/ or to be completed, following the approval, and before the interview stage. The applicant has filled out an inquiry on CEAC but the response is still being expected.

Thank you, and pardon me. I am just trying to get as much information as possible.

Please can someone help me outline the process of the F1 category.
After the petition was approved, received email with a letter from NVC asking to wait until the priority date becomes active. The priority date is now active (June Bulletin) but I am yet to receive an update from NVC.

Someone asked me to complete a Form I-485 (Application for Permanent Residence or Adjust Status). Please give me an idea of the order of events I should be expecting, and if possibly an estimate of the time I should expect each event.

Thank you.

May our loved ones not be treated by a doctor who was hired because of tribe and not qualifications.

May we have leaders that are competent enough to lead, not based on tribe or sentiments.

May God give us the wisdom to know that there is no Supreme Court to appeal to, above him. Who can deliver us from the wrath/judgment of God?

We will all reap what we sow. It is better to be the oppressed than the oppressor because the oppressor can cry to God, but who shall save the oppressor from God?

Fixey:







Smiles. I'm kin to SE. It's exactly why people should built healthy relationships with other people and not act irrationally. While there may be a claim on stereotypes, tribal hating and all, let's be objective that many times the igbo dude would act like to hell with it and goes all out to do and undo. This is what it always leads to... That attitude of I don't give a hoot and to hell with consequences. It's the exact attitude that makes people characterise the Igbos as people to be careful with. In this scenario, it's not tribal hating but what the average igbo man does.


Before anyone misconstrues my points. In all houses I've lived in, I've conducted myself so peaceable and gentle that mu landlords even friends all looked for people from my tribe to get involved with. Why? Their experiences from dealing with me. Close to 4 friends got married to people from my tribe because of how how interconnected with me and how I impressed on them. Regardless of what happens in all the houses I lived in, nothing touches me. In the village I have projects setup, people love me from the entrance of the city into the interiors



My dear, tell igbos to stop the to hell attitude and work on building good relations with people. There are thousands of such stories above. It's not tribal hating, it's the igbotic attitude

For Nigeria to get better, we all need to sacrifice and be discipline. If EVERY vehicle driver that drives one-way is fined/penalized, it will stop or greatly reduce. Driving opposite traffic is reckless and dangerous. Many lives have probably been lost from accidents caused by this.

Our Merciful God made laws such as The law of gravity, if you go and jump from the mountain top expecting him to suspend His law of gravity, you are a mumu man, and it doesn’t make Him any less God by disregarding your plea. There are occasional miracles, but He made laws for a reason- that’s why he is God. Why did God create laws if he wants you to beg him to change it every minute?

Please let’s learn to follow the law if Nigeria is to have any hope at all. We cannot be doing what we don’t want out leaders doing- God will not miraculously make Nigeria better while we disregard His laws of nature or the laws of the land (which He has asked us to honour).

There are a few layers to your question(s), but I’ll attempt to share my knowledge

Due to the movement and position of the sun over the year, different parts of the earth experience different lengths of daylight following the seasons.
The countries closer to the North or South Pole experience these differences more than those close to the Center of the earth (the equator).

This part maybe a little confusing, but is necessary: Conventionally, the earth is viewed a circle (sphere) with 360 degrees. This is the introduction of the idea of longitudes and latitudes (do a little more research if you want a deeper understanding), but it is assumed that every 15 degrees represents 60 mins, therefore if you cross the international dateline from west to east, you gain a whole day. Each of the 24 areas (consisting of 15 degrees) is seen as a time zone.
You know when it comes to time, or the movement of the sun, we think east-west not North-south. Now picture a circle, let’s start from the middle (the part where you can draw the longest horizontal line (diameter) across the circle). If you have the right picture in mind here, you’d notice that dividing that diameter into 24, will give you the biggest single part compared to if you move the line northward or southward and still have to divide it by 24. In Nigeria, I recall comparing sunset times in both Lagos and the east (around the same time), and I think the longest difference I noticed was 30ish minutes. I was probably 9-13yrs old when I may these observations.
So Nigeria falls within a 15degree zone and so we don’t experience drastic differences in daylight durations.

Again the variations are more pronounced away from the equator, northbound or southbound. Canada is the second largest country, after Russia and is in the northern hemisphere. These two reasons makes the variations of daylight or sunlight more pronounced with the seasons, therefore countries such as Canada, US, EU countries, some Asian countries adjust their clocks to maximize the use of the sunlight. In the Spring (March), they ‘Spring forward’ an hour, and in the Fall (last sunday in October in Uk, first Sunday in November- US and Canada), they ‘Fall back’ an hour.

Summary: Different time zones as you move east to west between any two longitude lines- this accounts for the position of the sun as the earth spins round its orbit.

Agbeni33:
Hey guys,

Can we throw more light on this topic.

Why do countries all over the world have different time zone?

For instance, the difference between Nigeria and UK time is just like 2 hours.

Nigerian and Canada time is like 6 to 7 hours difference. So the question is what is the rationale behind this time perspective?

For the sake of argument, let us imagine that someone living in Mars just visited Earth yesterday, and wanted to argue that the standard of living in Nigeria is comparable or better than that in the US.

What can you do with $1,160/ month (refer to my earlier post) in the US vs. N30,000/month in Nigeria? With no considerations to tax.

A poor American earning $1,160 can: The basics- Food, Shelter and clothing (basic).

1. Live in fairly decent accommodation for $400/ month (may be as low as $200 depending on comfort level).
2. They can complement their feeding through items from food banks and possibly government-issued food stamps. $150-$200 groceries/ month.
3. No one NEEDs clothing every month, but consider the fact that in colder climes, everyone NEEDs different types of clothes for different seasons. $100
4. Let me add transportation: In many cities, one can purchase a bus-pass for an average cost of $150/month, this price may be significantly cheaper in smaller cities.
Total cost: 850
Savings: $360 (at least on bag of rice)

In Nigeria, minimum wage of N30,000. My Nigerian analysis would be based on assumptions, but I will try to be modest and fair.
1. Accommodation: Many years ago, while in a Nigerian University and the US$ was N137 at the highest, I paid N1,500 per month for a room with pit toilet and makeshift ‘bathroom’. I will assume that that accommodation would cost at least N5,000/month today.
2. I will conservatively assume that one can feed on N400/day. N12,000/ month. https://www.nairaland.com/470445/cost-mama-put-food/1
3. Being conservative again let us assume the annual spending on clothing will work out to be N1,000 per month
4. Transportation: I will not put a definite figure here as many spend even more than N15,000/ month on this.

It is clear that for many, it is impossible to survive on N30,000/ month.

No wonder a 16-year old earning minimum wage in the US is more independent than the average Nigerian graduate.

Fact: Lowest minimum wage in any region in the US is $7.25 ( https://www.paycor.com/resource-center/minimum-wage-by-state )
Assumptions: Typical work-week is 40hrs/week (Very fair assumption) >> 160 hrs/ month.
Lowest Monthly Salary: $7.25/ hr * 160 hrs =$1,160

$1,160 at N500/$ = N580,000.

Fact: Highschool kids working in McDonalds can buy at least, 5 bags of rice before tax.

Fact: In proper comparison, Nigeria graduates earning minimum wage cannot buy a bag of rice.

Fact/ very legit assumption: Many Nigerian households may not even earn a combined household income of N580,000 per annum.

Conclusion: Comparing apples to apples, it is possible to survive on minimum wage in the US. Although it may be challenging to live on minimum wage, there are many available jobs, therefore, even a 16-yr old can work 2 jobs at minimum wage to earn enough money to afford 10 bags of rice, before tax every month.
In the case of Nigeria, a significant proportion of its population cannot afford a bag of rice a month through legitimate means, no wonder the crime rate is escalating at an alarming rate. Even a police recruit cannot buy 2 bags of rice (N52,000) with his/her N50,000 monthly salary.

Read their tweet again. I think they are trying to throw more light on the information. They are attributing the source of the information on their October 23rd tweet to AI. They have also included better context to say that it is important for them to add that the numbers were a total from all over the country.

Your argument may become more cogent if you separate the issues. Giving credit and clarification isn’t the same as recanting, neither is it the same as proof that their information is incorrect.

What we should be more concerned with is clarity as to whether or not Nigeria has freedom of movement and association, and whether we can trust the system to be just, and able to hold every individual accountable regardless of class, office, or status- including the average citizen ('Common Man').

Vaughanlanrewaj:
I stated here before that heads will roll at CNN.

That was a horrible report.
Nigeria will sue them if they don't apologise and do more than this infantile recant.

Perhaps they still think it is joke.

How on earth can you state that 36 people were shot dead by soldiers without being at the scene and in the face of very credible question still hanging in the air "if soldiers killed even 1 person with their bullets,let alone 36 or 78 according to alleged lie by Switch, did soldiers kill all their friends,families,colleagues,neighbours, pastors/imams,boyfriends,girlfriends etc too?

All the revenue CNN generated on those days from the online traffic and on TV viewership while beaming that fake news must be demanded as damages and used to take care of victims of police brutality, victims of the carnage and those their fake news further destroyed. The request for the damages must co-copy HE Donald Trump, the Republic Party and CBS.

Amnesty international must receive their own letter too while Lagos State Government must investigate the audio of IPOB leader instructing and commanding his IPOB members to burn down Lagos and establish the nexus between the audio and the coordinated arson in Lagos.
If found culpable, he should be reported to ICC and Interpol and other international bodies and prosecuted in absentia if he does not turn himself in.

If HE Sanwo Olu does not investigate this IPOB leader audio telling people to burn down Lagos, Lagosians, indigenes and Association of Lagos indigenes like the Lagos State Council of Obas and others should sue the government for not doing its job and compel the government to investigate the whole audio and movement of youths from the South East to join the protest in Lagos when same protest was going on in the South East!

This injustice against Lagos and Lagosians will not be permitted.

It is completely despicable that someone will tell people to go burn down Lagos and still not be charged by now. It is enabling him to commit more crime or someone else to wake up someday and instruct people to go burn down Abuja or Onitsha or Kaduna or PH or Benin and those places get burnt and we carry on as if we can't enforce our own laws.
#Justice for Lagos and victims of the carnage in Lagos



I think they were reckless and their shoddy coverage will eventually make heads roll in CNN.
Heads will roll just like the last time they paid some people to act like MEND until they got busted.


They were absolutely reckless especially after HE Trump called them fake news media for 4 years.


This damning verdict by this independent body of journalists is just the beginning. They were not even at the scene yet ignored the report of those credible media houses present at the scene.

Yet they are grandstanding.

CNN used some of the fake creatives that IPOB leader and his followers used to distract while they allegedly carry out the instruction of their leader to cowardly burn down Lagos.

Amhappy:


Reported prematurely "Yes" but incorrect "No". Selection has ended today 28-Oct-2020 and result has leaked.

Can you reference a credible source for that information?

Though she is likely to win after securing the support of the 27 EU members of WTO, it should be noted that the US favours her South Korean counterpart while China is holding her cards close to her chest. Most importantly, the decision on who becomes the WTO D-G would be announced by November 7, so this news is incorrect as it is being reported prematurely.

We all knew Sepp Blatter was corrupt, but we know the people who have reaped immediate benefit from his ousting from office. The joker, yet to be played may be cutting funding if Akinwunmi escapes the investigation.
At the end of the day, one way or the other, they will get what they want.

festacman:
This sudden resignation of Dr. Jennifer Blanke from her post as VP at African Development Bank (AfDB) might be indicative of the relentlessness of US' interference to indict Dr. Akinwumi Adesina using independent investigators.

However, as we observe closely the unfolding events, let all Nigerians be consoled by these two beautiful quotes from Dr. Jennifer Blanke's resignation letter:

“I am leaving purely for family reasons to rejoin my family in Switzerland, after a very fulfilling time at the bank. I will miss the bank and the excellent team we have built."

“I thank President Akinwumi Adesina for his strong leadership, guidance, and support which have undoubtedly motivated and helped my team and I to play a key role in the transformation of the bank."

These words of testimonies about the leadership of Dr. Akinwumi Adesina from an American-Swiss who is a renowned and globally respected development economist, with over 20 years of experience, put a big question mark on the motive behind the effort to paint Dr. Adesina black and deny him merited 2nd term as AfDB president.

codemaniacs:



both of you should read the goldman777 comment below,

The fact is I was responding to the comment saying “ He was the only one arrested because he is a black man. They left the white crew” and you can see that quote in my first comment on this topic. I don’t think anyone who watched the video would say that.
Now to the unrelated (unrelated to my initial comment) issue you raised: I think the cops were unprofessional in disregarding the request for clarification on the order that they had given to the crew- they were willing to move and asked where they could move to. I think that the black journalist was likely targeted, however, interpreting my feelings as the definite truth flaws my credibility, and instead of bolstering, weakens any intellectual argument I may have especially with a delicate, yet important issue as racism.

Advice: Try not to use extreme words in describing an opinion or things you aren’t certain about. You may mean one thing but communicate something entirely different. Qualifying or measuring your words can boost your credibility. For example rather than say “Shola Is never late”, you could say “Over the course of working with Shola, I have not seen him come in late”. That way, if Shola comes late, it doesn’t affect your credibility and make me begin to take your words with a pinch of salt.
Cheers

Kristofferson:
He was the only one arrested because he is a black man. They left the white crew. Racist country

Please watch the video again, the crew was arrested. The reporter, producer and cameraman weren’t all black and certain not all the same person.

I know it’s a little tricky, but you just have to think about it. We are in the 21st century even though we haven’t hit the year 2100. A child born today is in its first year on earth until it turns 1 year old and begins their second year. At the start of every decade, the first year always ends with a 0 and the 10th year ends with a 9. There are only 10 digits from which all numbers are formed, 0 being the first and 9 being the tenth.
In University, on your Matric day, you say you are in first year, even though you’ve probably only been on campus for a few days. When registering for 2nd year classes, you say you are in Year 2, but you have really only completed a full calendar year (forget ASUU and the usual Naija public school drama), same logic applies. 2020 is the first year in the twenties decade.
One example of where binary place holders are applicable in every day life.

heyjay:
Happy new year and welcome to 2020. But is it the start of a new decade? Opinions are divided on this matter, as many believe a decade counts from 1 to 10, since the Gregorian calendar has no year zero.

Proponents of a new decade believe we count decades from zero to nine. For instance, Andrew Novick, a scientist at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology tweets that "You wouldn't say that someone born in 1970 was from the sixties, would you?" So 60s as a decade mean a between 1960 and 1969.

Others in the middle believe that the argument is not necessary since a decade is simply "a period of 10 years". Which side of the divide are you? Is it #NewDecadeNewMe or just #HappyNewYear2020?

Actually the reality is the opposite, if you may. ‘Roundabouts’ or Traffic circles are guided by a simple rule- yield to traffic on the left. During rush hour traffic, that may mean a standstill for vehicles behind those yielding. Perhaps traffic lights would be best, you could also consider the option of a 4-way/ 3-way Stop sign depending on type of intersection.

slimfit1:
Roundabout controls traffic but because we don't have traffic laws that why it is not working simple.

.

All the sacrifices citizens make and are to make, but it’s okay, it’s not like we even have a choice. We must pay VAT, toll, manage N18,000/ month, live in insecurity while transport operators transfer their ‘police roger’ to our transport fare. We agree to pay power bills even when there’s no power and buy fuel at high costs to run our generators. We accept our cross and sacrifice for a better Nigeria.
Please can we also agree that after making these sacrifices, any public or government official wasting public funds on luxury or even immodest goods or services be made to pay back every single kobo? Can we immediately recover diverted and stolen public funds and prescribe a minimum 20-year jail sentence with mandatory restitution for these officials?
Can our senators manage a 70% pay cut? Our governors as well. Can we reduce the number of their aides and advisers?
Please don’t make the poor and powerless the only ones making sacrifice for our country, we all love this country, in fact leaders should be examples of the austerity measures.

@Mecunno, He/she isn’t a monkey. You can disagree respectfully, but there’s no need to call anyone names. Let’s start trying to focus on issues not individuals.
@Oghenaogie, please leave it as it is and do not retaliate with an insult as well.
I want to be an agent for positive change not one that breeds quarrel or insults amongst people.

meccuno:
dont mind the insane monkey. i guess all he has to show is his primary school certificate.

Pardon me, I think the point should be that we need visionary and competent leaders now more than ever. Regardless of tribal or political sentiments, Nigeria as it is today, is toying with its future on so many levels. Now more than ever, we need patriotic, competent, selfless and visionary leaders to steer us, as a nation, first out of poverty, secondly towards a deliberate future position. These current crop of leaders don’t cut it, time is not waiting for anyone, young teenagers of today will be competing for relevance in a world that depends less on oil. When people start to love themselves more than politicians from their tribe or political parties, we would begin to see that the love for anyone politician isn’t worth the destruction of your future or those of your young or future children.
If I needed it, I would gladly pay school fees to be tutored under Prof Iya Abubakar because he has proven to be competent in Mathematics, I would not necessarily be acting wise if I chose someone who say, is an accomplished musician for the same thing unless of course he/she is equally competent in Mathematics. My point is when things are free, we can choose to be less rational about our choices, however I think the future of the country is very valuable, certainly not cheap, so please let us set love for the country, love for ourselves and our children above blind love for our politicians whoever it is.

OGHENAOGIE:
you no well Buhari contested and won...stop ur stupidity beside Buhari is lettered too except you are deluded

Look at this beautiful rebuttal of a common stereotype. If Nigeria could decide TODAY to follow the words of our national anthem (please refresh your memory of it), we would be the envy of the world. All tribes Amaka, we just need to promote hard work, honesty, diligence, fairness and a concrete desire to move Nigeria forward.
God bless Nigeria.

At least let us give the President some credit for dispatching a special envoy to SA. He is the president of our country and whether we like it or not, he is the person on the seat and has the power to use or command diplomatic engagements to see this issue resolved.
God has used different people and different things in the past, the president’s heart is in God’s hands and HE can turn it to any direction HE pleases.

Having said that, the same way he dispatched an envoy to SA is the same way Governors and elders have been dispatching special envoys to Aso rock due to the incessant insecurity in our communities and country as a whole. I pray that the SA president will act better than how Buhari himself has acted so far towards our own local insecurity.
Ultimately, we need a leader with ideology in Nigeria, someone strong-willed and with clear direction of where this country should be headed. Nigeria let us as citizens pity ourselves in the next presidential elections and vote people who know what they are doing, are competent and can actually LEAD the country, if not for ourselves, for the sake of the little kids we are bringing into this world.

Jamesbally:
Kikikikikikiki, Igbo's Amaka.

Nigeria as a country has a problem with its value system. Not just Igbos. See all the links below. Known thieves, indicted criminals, ex-convicts are celebrated in Nigeria and have been known to become powerful politicians. We have seen the 'corruption war" in Nigeria and how partial it has been, even if you hate another tribe and love yours, at least because of the love you have for yourself, condemn the crime and pervasiveness of it in Nigeria than any one tribe, that's how we can move forward.

If you can wholeheartedly swear that all the people you know or suspect of taking part in ‘yahoo scams’ are all Igbo, then this your tribalism is justified. If you search your heart, we are all Nigerians, we have suspected (with good reason) or known yahoo boys that are from tribes all over the country- especially when you are lucky to live in a metropolitan city like Lagos or Abuja.
Nigeria’s problem isn’t any one tribe. These shameful acts are a consequence of the decline in our value systems. In Nigeria today, it would be very difficult for a young girl to find even a ‘dishwasher’ job without someone wanting sex from her. Lecturers, Managers, HR specialists, Politicians, Pastors e.t.c. have all been soiling the country name. A person referred to by a British Judge as a ‘common petty thief’ was at a time, the most powerful Nigerian politician, even our ‘Man of Integrity President’ has so many things that call to question his integrity.
Nigeria, if you are wise, you will know that tribalism is the main thing that hinders the fight for a better Nigeria. We will be divided in tribalism while people that have fraud cases against them become speaker of our national house of rep. Whether Invictus or Gbajabiamila, if we say No to criminals or people with criminal past ruling us, we set a standard and whoever falls short of it, so be it. We can’t be changing position when it is our tribesmen and otherwise when not. What is bad is bad and must be condemned.

Nigeria is a country where even this Wadume could possibly be ‘elected’ as senator and run for the office of President of the Senate.
My people is this how we want to move forward?

As much as I do not condone assaulting anyone, I am somewhat glad that Nigerians are now starting to do more than just complain.
We should however note that not everyone who is speaking out against the elites, including the current administration has the same motive. Some people aren’t necessarily concerned about the level of poverty in the country or its insecurity, some are just frustrated because they aren’t the ones in power to enjoy the looting as well. Some would prefer Atiku to lead instead of Buhari, some would even rather that the country was split up, however, some of us are interested in building a nation where peace, unity, justice, equality, fairness and excellence shall thrive. Whether it be Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba, Igbo, Efik, Tiv, Iraq, Itshekiri or any other tribe, what should matter the most is a leader who hears the call of Nigeria’s national anthem “To serve with heart and might and build a nation where peace and justice shall reign” and also inspires the citizens to do the same.
The only way Nigerians can get rid of their REAL ENEMIES- the political elites, is to come together and resist them. If we haven’t learnt anything before, let us look at President Buhari who most people were willing to believe the stories about his integrity and that he would bring positive change in 2015, he has taken that trust and shoved it up our asses. We believed we were getting a competent General (rtd) as our commander in chief, see where we are security-wise, what if we didn’t have a commander in chief that had experience being a former General?
Remove your hopes from these elites, they are all the same- whether they come as pastors or imams and so called men of integrity, they have all corrupted themselves and deadened their consciences.
Let us set aside tribal differences and define the type of country we want for ourselves and our children. Would it be one governed by thieves and the most incompetent of our citizens or do we want to raise the standard higher?

Money laundering is a crime that should be punished, but this seems like a case of persecuting the opposition.
Poor masses will be celebrating ‘progress’ in the fight against corruption, not knowing that if Atiku were to reconcile with the government now, all of this goes away.

A man of integrity and a pious pastor, surely their government will fight corruption, this is what we see. Nigeria behold your examples of integrity and honesty. Even men who don’t believe in God surely can do better.

We can deceive others, but if we start to deceive ourselves, how are we different from a mad man who believes eating from the garbage is okay?
I don’t believe anyone else would be able to pull off this ‘integrity’ scam on Nigerians again, not even if you raise 100m people from the dead.

Chai! I’ve observed that Igbos are often made spokesman or woman to justify some of the most outrageous claims in Nigeria. Other than these positions, they don’t get much. Joe Igbokwe, Frank Mba, Onyema Nwachukwu, Lauretta Onochie are a few examples of people who, like Femi Adeshina, try to justify things that are outright wrong even though they do that at the expense of their legacy and whatever credibility they had already built.
Chris Ngige and Orji Uzo Kalu are another 2 people who would try to justify it even if this administration were to do something as brazen as say open up the bellies of all pregnant women and take their children.
I hope we can get to a Nigeria where you don’t have to sell your dignity to feed your family- I know that in most of the cases mentioned above, it’s more of a case of greed than survival, but I look forward to the day than most Nigerians will have dignity and self worth outside of stolen public funds.
NB: I am not into tribalism, however you may want to spin this post. I’m actually Igbo and I know that there is an imbalance of how Igbos are treated in the country, I refuse to stoop so low as to fall into the class of tribalism, but I observe what is happening and will tell even my own twin brother when he is wrong. We need to rise above petty tribalism, it’s uncivil, archaic and backward, it’s so 1667, this is 2019 and children are being taught that they are better than others because of the tribe they were born into. Such wickedness, how can that child survive with such mindset in an ever increasing world of globalization? Travel out of Naija, your brain will reset.

UAE123:

Igbokwe created controversy on Tuesday after saying on Channels TV Politics Today that anyone who criticised the President Muhammadu Buhari administration for nonperformance was from the pit of hell .

I hear this Ned Nwoko guy is rich, but at the rate at which organizations make him their patron or other schemes of getting donations/cash out of him, I hope still has a lot to leave for all his children and wives; both present and future.

Nne that’s where I think you and a lot of people may be missing it.
If i was your younger sister and I took your handset out without your consent, if you came out and saw an older girl trying to bullying me and take the phone, would you join me and resist the bully and collect the phone back or would you be like ‘Ifeoma, you must produce my phone oh’? I believe after you get back the phone, you may teach me a lesson not to take my big sister’s phone next time, but to watch me lose the phone that belongs to you because you want to ‘punish’ me, doesn’t appear wise.
You and your loved ones travel on roads that are terrorized by terrorist groups, thinking that 4 years of it will serve Sowore as a lesson may be right, but Sowore isn’t the only person that is exposed to insecurity in Nigeria (he doesn’t even live in the country). This isn’t about any individual or tribe or religion, I have lost a loved one, my dear it is a horrible feeling, no one deserves to feel. Support anyone that will make the Commander-in-Chief stop coming up with excuses but command the forces to curb insecurity- if a General (let's assume he earned it) cannot command his forces then there is a big problem, a problem bigger than Sowore’s past mistakes, we are talking about your and every Nigerians future so Nne again, if you have power to protest, protest if not. Biko wen Ndidi, o da digide.

Presidency,thunder fire una..

Our ignoring the revolution has nothing to do with you iddiots,but with the foolish Sowore who helped install you monsters against wise counsel.

Thats all
