It's only someone who hasn't been through a fire would stand by the side advising another who's been hurt by the fire how he would gone through it without getting hurt. I don't want to delve into this but our people say, whoever brings ant infested firewood into his house should prepare to invite lizards to his home. Nothing further.

There is no bridge that money can't tear apart..the young man has to choose between his billionaire mum and his thousandnaire retired military pensioner father...your guess is as good as mine he chooses his mums wealth over his dad's blessings .

If you can shamelessly open your open and utter these words considering the pain they're going through, I can only ask God to have mercy on you. Before you type rubbish, please endeavor to read. As far as I'm concerned, a marriage that was divorced 30 years ago and the estranged father all of a sudden surfaced right now, deserves all the treatment he gets.

“Buwa and I were the product of a short and abusive marriage that ended almost 30 years ago. To a man with many other wives and children. Stella Oduah is the only father, mother, carer and provider that my brother has ever known. The Oduah family is the only Family that he has ever been part of and Akili Ozizo in Anambra state is the only hometown he has ever had.

“I called Mr Satchie and the Etoromi family to inform them immediately my brother passed. I offered flights, accommodation and special care for him or the representatives of the family throughout the funeral. I offered to build a relationship and have a new start.

“I was happy and optimistic. But i was wrong. Instead of asking about his dead son, he proceeded to use my brothers passing as an excuse to shamelessly insult my mother just like he is doing now, issue death threats and even ask for dowry from almost 30 years ago.

Unfortunately he's one of several millions of Nigerians who will lose their jobs this year. God deliver us from Buhari

What's all these nonsense yo momma cuss all over this thread? If both of you have nothing useful to say, please stop spamming the thread.

“In line with the critical infrastructural focus of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, an unprecedented 30 per cent of 2016 budgetary provision has been committed to capital projects.

APC are liars, did they just say an "unprecedented 30% committed to capital projects"? When you tell a lot lies, sooner or later, it becomes your truth. They should go back to prior year budgets because we've had more than 30% committed to Capital Expenditures...

@bashydemy1

Biko stop spamming this page with these pictures. Did Buhari not promise heaven on earth? GEJ has moved on yet yall still calling him like your lives depended on it. During GEJ's tenure, as much as there was massive stealing, Nigeria was progressing, 16 months after, and you still have the mouth to call GEJ. Just accept that your messiah Buhari is a compounded failure.

celestialAgent:
Your gullbility is legendary!

Can you justify why the car "Toyota Camry" is not named after the radio,tyre,battery or the plug production company?

In a conventional environment, a product is named after the company that produce the engines since other parts are minor. So why should a car be named Innoson Product if the major part (engine) is Toyota, Kia or whatever?

Wonderful... Going by your logic, Boeing uses mainly GE Engines and Airbus mainly RR engines. Question: why aren't all the Boeing variants named after GE engines considering the engines are the single most expensive component on an aircraft?

This foolishness cannot continue for too long, please stop. I don't know what "conventional environment" you're talking about, if you do, please let us know because there isn't any generally accepted principle on how a product should be named.

cococandy:
I can see why you say that.

Well saying she should have informed him of the boy's death is just because I believe in being fair. Just inform him. Doesn't mean he should be the one to decide where the boy will be buried. (For all we know the dude himself may not have wanted to be buried in the father's place.)

That's doesn't mean I can't acknowledge the father didn't do right by not knowing what's up with his kid/s. And that's because I see people condemning the woman as a bad mother. When they don't know what the true story is.

Exactly!!!

This is why I said people shouldn't just judge without knowing the full story. The are divorced, what if the money was returned back to the ex-husbands's family, that's ground for the mother to bury her son without the father. Like you rightly said, what if the man (who's of age) decided not to be buried in his father's place? No one knows the whole story yet people are so quick to condemn her.

As much as tradition demands that she returns her son back to his father's house, there's an exception rule to this. Again, we haven't known the whole truth about what's going on, so let's not be too quick to judge.

greenpasture:



In my illustration Mama Sikira stole from her own business. Mama Sikira was the largest shareholder in an enterprise and only lost majority shareholding because of her kleptomania, not because of any government. Exactly what happened with the Ibru's in this case Cecilia Ibru to be exact. . What has this to do with the price of raw materials? If raw material prices go up, Mama Sikira will adjust her prices. It is competition and service quality that will determine her businesses future not an indulgent government that will continue doling out money to support her habit. Simple economics 101.

Continuing with this line of argument will only expose what you don't know.

Sir, I do not agree with your logic, you mentioned competition and service quality (supply), what you failed to address is the demand aspect. Regardless of service quality, if a price of product has increased by 300%, yet income remains constant (no change) or even negative change, how are you supposed to afford that product even if the product is top notch? Example, you're earning x amount of income (no change), if the cost of boarding a bus is N100, and an air conditioned bus comes around (top service) charging N300, are you likely to board the bus or trek? Your guess is as good as mine. In this case, our Purchasing Power has seriously declined, which translates why Nigeria is no longer the Africa's destination for investment. What is killing Nigerian businesses is not because they can't compete, on the contrary, Nigerian are known for competition. What's hurting them is the ability to compete.

You can't compete when

a.) Access to foreign exchange is really limited because of i) the current exchange is highly unfavorable, ii) and even IF businesses wanted to bear the FX cost, the system has placed a cap and an undue process to transact globally.

b.) The required infrastructure necessary to compete is lacking. Was it not two days ago that Murtala Muhammad Airport was in darkness. The Aviation sector all around is in total collapse. Few days ago, 9 banks were sanctioned because they refused to remit their monies. Yes we may say it served them right, do you have any idea the effect of this sanction?

c.) We have unfriendly govt/fiscal policies. I don't even want to delve into this but you and I know very well this dealt a severe blow to our economy. Buhari has finally plunged us into full scale recession, it would take a lot of hard work and commitment to get us out of this mess.

andrew07:
At inverted Hammer how can you be a millionaire with 2700dollars

What he meant is going by today's current exchange rate of N350 to $1, you're already a millionaire if you have $2,700. I hope it makes sense.

testional:
Guys! To be honest, I didn't no that Nigeria has gone so bad to this extent! It's that GEJ administration sweep so many things under the carpet or what? Immediately PMB just took over everything just collapse! Mehn ! this is serious. You guys should forget about tribal issues here! We guys need to "CHANGE" this " change"

GEJ's administration did not sweep anything under the rug, GEJ had a very sound and intelligent economic team, the only problem was that corruption was excessive. GEJ had an economic plan: infrastructures to foreign investment, under GEJ, foreign investors were investing in Nigeria, at one point, Nigeria ranked the highest in foreign investment in Africa. Heck, it was hinted that Nigeria is among one of the fastest/emerging nations after it rebased it's GDP joining the MINT league (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey) which are right behind the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India and China). Nigeria had an annual growth rate of about 7% when compounded overtime, estimate had it by 2020, we would have reach the $1trillion GDP.

I'm not exonerating GEJ because I believe he could have done more, but truth is that we have NEVER had it this bad. More importantly now that subsidy is removed, I can only imagine the suffering Nigerians are facing. When you have a president that vindictive and divisive, well, this is the result you get. This is why GEJ is different: he included the north, heck he pleased them more than the south, yet they hated him. I think Nigerians need to enjoy the "CHANGE" they voted for.

AfroKnight:
Useless gays. They had the guts to have sex in his house! And the judge slams him 40 years in prison because of these gay abominations even though they survived. That's injustice.

Injustice when one of them was in coma for two weeks and spent 30 days in the hospital? I wonder how people like you think. The luck he has is that his action did not lead to murder, death penalty would have been perfect for such hate crime.

Chuknovski:
More businesses, lesser employment, ICT is taking over

Not necessarily true, just a shift in the types of employment. Instead of your normal tellers, you'd have more IT professionals, technicians, cyber-security, etc.

Welcome development but IMO, I think they will still face certain limitations (tech platform). Nigeria heavily relies on cash regardless but let's see how this model works out, who know, this may yet be the newest era of banking.

Na wa o... Just imagine how a thread (Igbo thread precisely) has turned to Igbo vs. Yoruba. I don't think it's that hard to open a different thread.

NaWetinDey:
In the realm where decisions are made, Donald Trump is already the new president of United States of America. Quote me later.

Lmao.. Which realm is that?

KnowAll:



It is not over untill the fat lady sings so they say. The substantive case has not being heard hence sheath your celebrative swords until the final judgement in the Supreme Court has being made. Be rest assured the Supreme Court will look at all aspects of the case especially the substantive issue of fraud and if Mr Ikpeazu is found wanton he would be sacked. So make una go pray hard.

So what's the fraud issue at hand here?

Omeny:


Ok.

But you will agree with me that they too are stupendously wealthy.

They are wealthy but I don't think they are as wealthy as Ifeanyi Uba.

I would never understand why Buhari cannot continue GEJ's footstep in agricultural development. Anyway, this is good news, they just need to be encouraged and well funded.

Oletty:
Good question. In most so-called advanced countries, all residents MUST declare their assets when filing annual tax returns. The reason these societies function well is that government keeps a tab on everyone, ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share into the common purse.

Asset declaration is not an infringement of one's human rights but a requirement of a modern, functioning society where basic resources ought to be allocated for the benefit of all.

Just curious, like which countries?

Curse of the curseless... The boy was wrong, but swearing for him is overboard. God does not honor such types of words.

PUSH1:


Diversification and Agriculture is the key.

Partially true, the question is: how do we achieve it? Unfortunately our current system of govt, unfriendly economic/fiscal policies and our political climate will NEVER allow for full diversification without some sought of govt interference.

NOETHNICITY:
Do u in all sincerity agree with me that this will take a bit of time?

Time is relative in this concept, depending on the factors. Are we talking about in a year's time or 10 years? We heard about petrol marketers asking for N151/litre, and two days ago, NNPC saying they want to import fuel from Benin/Cameroon, meanwhile, there's an article from two days ago alleging 14 months after Buhari in power, the refineries are worse than they were. So where does time play into all these? Let's not give excuse of "it take a bit of time" by making very simple problem into complex ones.

PUSH1:
What would this guy do now to raise our foreign earning?
Some iyots in Nigeria are only here to insult. If you ask them the economic solutions. They would look more confused than Mr President.
What a shame!

Foreign earning is the least of our problem right now, the economy is in serious shambles. Buhari should get it back on track first, at least to the point of production rather than consumption, then we can talk about foreign earning.

AlphaCentauri:
bro, going to europe and america is one thing but you have to have a deep hatred for your own people to prefer to live amongst a bunch of crazy easily angered knife wielding muslims. listen, i dont care how much you offer me, even if you offer me 10 million dollars to move to the north, i will tell you to keep your money. i can never step in the north. no amount of money will make me go there. so why will ndigbo rather be amongst a bunch of crazy knife wielding islamic fundamentalists in the north than return home ? it boggles the mind. is home that bad ? really ?

This is the kind of utter rubbish that's often spilled on NL, if SE as a region has more people living and trading within it's boundaries, and that # is several times greater when compared to Lagos (the most Igbo populated state), please tell me where the "deep hatred" comes from?

As much as I don't support Igbos living up north, if it offers them better business opportunities, then that's an individual decision but alluding to a"reason" why they live among northerners as deep hatred for their people is nothing short of delusion. How can home be bad when home is making all these great strides and effort? Unless you show me that the # of people living outside Igboland is on par (not even greater) with the # living within Igboland, then and only will I take you seriously. Till then, you know nothing about Igbo dynamics, so don't speak on it.

Jesus is Lord

Chai, this is Buhari's fault

RaeMystix:
Please stop blaming such problems on Buhari. The Nigerian embassy at Washington DC also had such problem about 4 plus years ago. There was no electricity for the two days I was there, both to apply for my passport and for pick up. Who should we blame it on then?.

So you applied for passport on day 1 and picked up on day 2? Wonderful... So please tell us how the process worked because this isn't the norm. Btw, there's a difference between power outage due to technical issues vs. not paying your bills. If there's any decent embassy among the main three: NY, ATL and DC, it's definitely Washington, DC. I guess maybe it's because that's where the Ambassador works.

Daplux4:


Don't mind him he is not an Igbo man that's how he talks rubbish all the time
Nwa afor gujuru miri ara afo adighi ekwu ka OSI ekwu

I don't care about him, but he needs to leave Anambra alone. Dude is a lost cause, and needs to be checked all the time.

aresa:




Funny when you people make up your empty and shallow chest beating slogans..

What is the meaning of that?

How many Nigerians are leaving their states and rushing to Anambra to see or enjoy that light if it's really the light of the Nation?


Especailly when in fact you and your people can not wait to catch the next ekenedilishuku out of that economically depressed and unproductive place, even obiango the governor is so jobless and unproductive that he just dey do wandering aimlessly all over the place with cameraman from beer parlor to counting Ugu leaves to discovering imaginary oil under his bed...


light ko, atupa ni...

You're one of the bunch Anambra gives sleepless night right? I have no time for you, and if you think you would drag me into your endless bickering, nah son... You won't. I'm way past such nonsense.. Like I said, Anambra is the light of the nation, if you don't like it, you know what to do. I'm from Anambra, and if I'm not proud or chest beat for my state, who else will? You? Lmao... Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Abagworo:


Only Anambra is the problem of Ndigbo. Minus Anambra there will be unity.

I see that ndi Anambra are giving you sleepless night, continue deluding yourself. Anambra still remains the "light of the nation", if you don't like, tinye isi gi n'ofia. In the meantime, curtail the tongue.

Is this something kind of joke? That's a fire truck and an ambulance, and course a helicopter but the video doesn't show any sort of gunfire let alone bombardment. Yall really need to do better than this and show accurate information, for all I care, these fire truck could have been on a response call.

onatisi:
It took Nigerians 2 solid years to realize the truth in what onatisi has been saying about buhari complete total naivety and cluelessness in power. The sad aspect about all this is that the deaf dullard president is even getting paid for doing nothing tangible other than destroying the economy. The only reason buhari campaigned and contested was to take vengeance on pdp for denying him the opportunity to rule all these years

To even think some people are defending his failed policies, if any, is really annoying. Nigerians get what they deserve, no one would say that their "messiah" wasn't given an opportunity. After Buhari is done with Nigeria, when they mention Buhari's name again, many would run.
