MadamExcellency:
Why should Aba alone have its own Electricity distribution company alone supplied from TCN when the city also has a private Geometric Power Station with 140 Mwatts serving the city alone?

There is definitely something in that Aba that Nigerians don't know.

It's not hidden ok, there is money in Aba. Aba alone have more First bank branches than some states in Nigeria (commercial banks are fully profit making and not a charitable organization.)

Aba is producing most of the clothes Nigerian use, no one in Aba goes outside of Aba to sow clothes but others come to Aba.

Lastly, from 2015 till date, Osibanjo visited Aba more on SME's more than any other part of South East. Abia State have always had bad leaders from kalu to ikpeazu but i believe that Otti will do better.

1stGenAmerican:
They never married but have five children together. They broke up quite a few years ago and he married someone else.

Oh! My goodness, they were so cute together.

Five children! Marley's son treated her badly for ditching her after five children together.

1stGenAmerican:
Lauren and Rohan were never married.

Good evening, please what happened cos i heard that they were married and even had a baby ?

I’m sorry but you seem like one of those people I was talking about. Don’t make an excuse for him with his past. Just tell me you believe in his promises and I will try to listen. I said I was in UNIZIK from 2006-2011(I wrote 2016-2011) but you know what I meant.
Obi was sworn in as Governor of Anambra State in 2006. I was there in Awka. So if Anambra was in a deplorable state prior to Obi’s swearing, I saw it.
Friend, I’m not trying to pick a quarrel with you. I’m from Delta State and not in support of Tinubu or giving failure a 3rd chance, but I need us to be wise in the next election because this obedient movement ruined this one.

I'm not a spirit to know that you intended to write 2006-2011 ok, what i saw was what i used as a reference.

During Ilochi Okafor's era as the VC, PO visited Unizik twice or more. Ngige gave the people a glimpse of hope but PO did better, do you remember when he was impeached and Virgy Etiaba (his deputy) took over, what happened?

From Amawbia to Ekeoka market down to Temp Site junction was a death trap, Nigerian Prison axis within Amawbia was something else but everything changed for better.

I personally don't follow politicians but PO did well in Anambra in terms of road, school etc. Going to Asaba onward to Ugheli, Warri, Sapele etc you must go through head bridge; i know head bridge before he took over and when he left.

No politician is perfect but some are good when it comes to service delivery, thank you.

Father0fjesus:
yes, I said it's less than 1hr. It's a route I have taken sevaral times via owerrinta to umu eka

In the last 3 years, i have traveled home over 8 times, i always use Imo airport and i most times drive from Sam Mbakwe airport to Aba, it's not 1 hour ok.

komzy589:
I’m sorry to break it to you, Obi’s name will not be mentioned when we are talking about Governors who delivered. While he was not an ‘Ikpazor’ or a ‘Kalu’, he didn’t break much grounds in the state that you can trace. I was a student of Unizik from 2016 to 2011, so I know his government to an extent.
I don’t hate Obi, I hate the way people are making excuses for him to force him down our throats. He’s also the reason why APC was not kicked out of power after what we went through in the last 8years.

You should assign Obi's evaluation to people who saw Anambra before Obi took over down to his expiration as a governor.

The year you listed above as a student at Awka didn't qualify you to talk about Obi's performance because you didn't see Anambra before Obi took over down to when he handed over to Obiano, thank you.

Father0fjesus:
Abia does not need an airport. It will be total waste of time.
Thr owerri cargo airport in ngor-okpala will serve umuahia, owerri and Aba perfectly without any issues. It's very close to Aba and umuahia. Just less than 1hr drive to both places, so it's going to be a waste of scarce resources. Abia needs to focus on some other things and leave airport, they don't need it now.
Here in Lagos, the time it will take you to travel from murtala Mohammed Airport to Ajah is more than the time it will take you to travel from owerri Airport to Aba and umuahia.

Abia should be looking at investing in true value and not some project born out of ego that has a viable alternative.

Did you say from Aba to Imo airport is 1 hour drive?

There are more important areas to invest in Abia but a cargo airport is not a bad idea if you know Abia very well. People going to China from Shopping Centre alone is something else; Ariaria, New market, Cemetery market etc are all known for travelling out hence airport is not out of place ok.

TemplarLandry:
It's better it's not RICO charges.
I have a feeling Lauryn Hill will be happy.

Lauryn Hill was my dream crouch while i was in primary school, she was so beautiful and natural. I felt bad when late Bob Marley's son married her.

I won't forget her verse in the song: "storming my pains with his fingers..." Wyclef Jean was there too.

vincenteger:
A lot seem to be passing through people oo
Confront him about your finding
He should tell you the truth and if at the end he confirmed to be gay
Then you can choose to cancel the marriage for your own piece of mind.

But if you choose otherwise
Just be ready to share him and also be invited for thresom

Hmmm!!! You are mean, imagine telling her to be ready for party.

ATEAMS:
Ortom go need plenty lawyers after hand over o

Have you been to Benue state recently? The killings in Benue is under-reported ok.

Ortom failed in terms of infrastructure and payment of salaries but the killings in Benue is pure evil and it's not the Benue governor but foreign invaders doing everything to take over the people's land, politics aside, ask questions ok.

obembet:
Nonsense, which gender cheat pass? So 90% of married men have girlfriend, and yet Thier wife never kill them or send them out. If you can't tolerate it, then don't do it.

How did you arrive at this % cos women are good in keeping secrets while men always boast about their activities. Men may cheat more here in Africa because our culture is mostly patriarchy but when you go to Western world where there is equality, the story is different ok.

slivertongue:
Apapa has exposed himself as a sponsored agent

He should have concentrated on the chairmanship tussle, bringing PO into his problems cast aspersion on him as an agent.

He didn't stop PO from contesting but now telling us that PO was not properly nominated as LP's flag bearer. Where was he before the presidential election? He just confirmed himself as an agent sent to destroy LP.

psychologist:
This is not recent na

Nairaland, stop heating the already tensed space up

Good morning, whosoever that moved this to front page has an aim, Seun should sanitize this forum as he promised. Tribal post should not be allowed here.

Even if it's an old video, security forces can hing on it and arrest, harass, harm etc innocent people.

LeyeWrites:
Those are individual options.


Accommodation is provided by PPA. You have the choice to take it or not. That's NYSC requirements.


If for any reason your PPA refuse to provide accommodation, you've the right to call for rejection or be reallocated by LGI by State cord approval.

Look, there are rules to these things. Don't be exploited for no reasons. NYSC is a scheme that gives corps members upper hand. Perhaps the only truly functional organisation in Nigeria.

Good evening, you spoke well but it's not what you think and wrote up here ok.

NYSC headquarters is beside Custom headquarters and FRSC headquarters alll at Wuse Zone four. Last year, some NYSC members were rejected at their PPA because there was no vacancy despite though they had their posting letters.

I'm not talking about accommodation now, here in FCT, most corp members search for PPA. Custom headquarters don't have accommodation for corp members, a friend who served there payed 850k (self-con) at Wuse zone 5. This is not hearsay, National Assembly, EFCC at Wuse 2 and most government offices at the heart of Abj don't have accommodation. Corp members pray that thay would be accepted and not even accommodation.

Most Corp members serving in these places drive; definitely they are from rich and influencial families. PPA's are to provide accommodation according to NYSC but FCT is entirely a different place. Most places you see accommodation for Corp members are in schools; I served in the North East, there was no accommodation, i and other Corp members paid let alone FCT Abj.

If you live in Abj, you won't argue on issue of accommodation here, thank you.

LeyeWrites:
Accommodation will be provided by PPA.

Not in the FCT ok, most NYSC members stays at Nasarawa and other villages within Abj and not in Abj. Those who stay in Abj have relatives or paid heavily for it.

BrighterThanDay:
As a child from a broken home, I saw marriage as my happy ending of finally having a home filled with love and mutual understanding. After the death of my mom, growing up with my dad and stepmom was hell. I was treated as a stranger in my own home, so I thought starting my own family will be a lot better.

After I completed my education and got a good job. I had a lot of suitors willing to settle down with me. Most of them were rich and accomplished men, but there was no spark, I felt they weren't genuinely in love with me, and since I was never a materialistic person, I turned them down. I get easily content with what I have and I spend prudently. Then I met my husband. It happened that I was his crush back then in school, in fact, he even approached me as a student then, but I turned him down because I knew where I was coming from and I never wanted to gamble with my studies, it was my only hope to leave my father's house and fend for myself.

Fast forward to when I met my husband after school. He didn't even have a good job. But I could tell I meant a great deal to him, we'll speak for hours on the phone. I fell hopelessly in love with him, I could already picture a happy home with him and our kids. Then he proposed, and I accepted. I met his family, they were nice on the first visit.

After the introduction ceremony with my family, I started noticing certain things. I was taking pictures with his phone when I saw a message from his mom telling him I'm a stranger and he shouldn't allow me to come between them. I was surprised and wondered where all this was coming from, I asked him and he reassured me that it was nothing.

Then his father told me that hope I know that a son should love and care for his parents more than his kids. I kept pondering this statement. Then the worse of it all was his married sister, she hasn't even met me, but she rained insults and abuses on me on his phone and why he needs to make money first and allow his family to enjoy his money, before getting married. She said I was old, and just forcing him to marry me. I was just 26 then, but my education was very fast.

I had to speak to her dad about this and he cautioned her. I tried speaking to her myself but she rained insults again on me. I called off the wedding at a point but my then-fiance begged and involved my brother and so we went on with the wedding preparations. The wedding went well and his entire family stayed with us for a week before leaving.

My husband got a good job, I was working, we were fine and money wasn't our problem. A few months later, my father-in-law died. I sent messages and called hubby's siblings to comfort them. I couldn't travel with him immediately due to the nature of my job. I kept calling to check on him and inquire about the traditional rites I might need to be a part of. Hubby said his father was a pastor so he won't need to do anything, while we were yet speaking, his sister who hates me snatched the phone from him and said I have to do this and that or I should pack my things and leave the house and then she shouted at me.

I was so pissed and acted in a way that wasn't right considering that we were all mourning. I sent a message to her, telling her to be nice considering that we are all mourning but if she chooses to continue insulting and humiliating me for no reason, I won't take it. She forwarded the message to the entire family, including uncles, aunts, and grandchildren. On the day of the burial, I was treated as an outcast by the entire family, she told them not to give my birth family food, even though they came bearing gifts and comforting everyone. Hubby had to step in and ask the caterers to serve them.

She kept fighting and shouting at my hubby throughout the burial and tried denying him of things he was supposed to do as the first son and child. I was humiliated and she kept castigating my name and insulting me to hearings of everyone. I wasn't even allowed to eat. I was quiet all through, when family members were asked to sit behind the corpse, she asked me to excuse them.

For fear of my life after the burial, I had to go lodge in a hotel outside. The next morning she and her brother kept shouting and complaining that why did hubby allow me to lodge and that I should have been with their mom. They continued the humiliation, I couldn't take it anymore or hold back my tears so I left.

Hubby later told me that she held a meeting in my absence with the entire family and told them I'm a bad wife and needs to leave her brother. This was when hubby stood up for me and said I wasn't going anywhere.

Our marriage was never the same. Even when we had our daughter, no one called, hubby was ostracized from his own family and he blamed me sometimes. I couldn't concentrate at work, and my job is performance-based. I was scared that I'll be fired, so I resigned.

Hubby's income wasn't enough to sustain us, so we started facing financial difficulties. He had to even go meet the same sister to borrow money, even though I discouraged it. She always mocked him for it and I had to pay off the loan at a point.


When she saw that we are now broke, she stopped fighting with him and they are on talking terms now, of course, she still wants nothing to do with me. I know that they are family by blood and nothing is too hard to forgive, but each time she calls and they are happily discussing, Ican't help but feel angry for all she has caused us. I'm sometimes tempted to leave this marriage because this is not what I envisaged at all.

My brother is also married and I have never felt the need to interfere in his marriage or fight his wife.

I don't know how long I can continue in this union, even my innocent beautiful daughter is hated by them.

On no condition should you have resigned your job, it's unthinkable to say the least. You were not sacked, you made a terrible mistake.

Epositive:
Come to Abuja and finish your alawee on rent and transportation.

FCT is something else, if you don't have a relative who will provide accommodation for you, you are definitely going to pay through your nose.

A big shame seun..

A big shame

No one will hold APC responsible though.. your name is soiled in the history of ethnic bigotry and tribalism.. I am Yoruba but I hold you responsible for allowing your platform to be used for such mischievous campaign..

Looks like people have finally sat you down and chastised you because until yesterday, you were still arguing about how that particular ad can cause mayhem to a targeted group.

You saw for yourself the outcome.. people who looked like Igbo sef collect.. Igbo man with APC membership wasn't spared..

History won't be kind to you and no! Apology not accepted.. your 32k donations is not the deserved justice meted out to any of the victims. Keep it!

For years i have been here, i have never change my moniker nor switch monikers. I have called Seun attention to the level of hate and tribalism going on here but all fail to deaf ears.

With no apologies, hate and tribalism have thrive so much here that the forum may not survive if Seun decide to stop it in its entirety. If not that i have traveled round this country, i would have been a victim of hate necessited by theead/comments seen everyday on Nairaland.

Seun you can make money outside of hate and tribalism; this is meant to be a sane forum for sound, enlightened, educated etc minds and not for tribalist and hate mongers.

I have never been ban here because i always maintain decency, decorum and forthrightness. Let the rules of this forum be strictly enforced, please ride this forum from hate and tribalism, thank you.

Beremx:
is this what you wish your fellow Yoruba man? You are very wicked

Fire for fire dear, easy oh! Happy weekend.

webizone:
This is the first comment you have made that I didn't take as an insult and I accept wholeheartedly as a South Easterner. I love you for this!

"...as a South Easterner..," You may be a South Easterner but you don't know anything about Abia when it comes to economy.

Objectively look at this:
All commercial banks are full-time profit-makiing entities and not charitable organization. Please google the number of First bank in Aba alone, some states in Nigeria have less branches of First bank that Aba alone have.

In PMB's eight years, Osibanjo visited Aba (Abia) more than many other states he visited on SME's. Onitsha is more of sales while Aba is more of productions ( ppl comes to Aba to sow clothes but Aba residents don't go outside to sow clothes.)

A plot of land around, Okigwe rd, Azikiwe, Park Rd, Pound Rd, Mosque, East Rd down to Ngwa Rd is not below 100m.

Here in the North, most of the things they refer to as "Igbo made" are all Aba. I pray that Alex Otti will hit the ground running.

cococandy:
that’s exactly what marriage does. Your spouse’s wealth becomes yours by that association

My Mom and elder sisters are not like that, my Mom contributed immensely to our upbringing and my sisters are doing so because my parents taught us to be hard working and contribute to our immediate family.

Most women that are respected in their homes paid their dues, they didn't have the mindset that a man will provide everything in the family nor they own their husband properties by being only his wife.

Wodu89:
You're uneducated. Allow me educate you, just like serving a spouse divorce doesn't automatically mean it will be granted as it would be subjected to court hearing and a divorce can be turned down. Same way is such a statement detrimental to any advantages this woman may want to lay claim for or on.


Should the court in future see this statement, it will be decided against her interest that any divorce she may seel was with sick intent and she won't get access to a pin.


Go and google how American courts did the same in the case of a woman who felt she and her husband were old and past prime. Hurriedly pushed for divorce served the husband papers declaring the part of his $1 Billion dollar weath she wanted, properties and monthly settlement.


Try gave her nothing, the same way Psquare brothers stvpid wife in us was giving nothing.


Nothing is always the heritage of greedy woman with such intent


I end my comment with this, why should any female including my daughter want to boldly lay claim to half the husband's property just by marriage. It should be by mutual contribution to the development of that wealth, not by association.



Thank you. Alot of people think divorce in a marriage is as simple as walking out the door. That's a Nollywood fallacy


You have access to wealth by contribution not by association

You nailed it brother, any woman with the mindset that "his wealth or half of his wealth is mine because of association is not worthy to be called a wife."

God! Which kind of lie is this?
When did Civets start killing dogs and attacking humans instead of rodents and snakes that they kill and eat?

Bros park one side with this kind lie of yours

Good morning, African Civets comes out mostly at night, the eyes do have a spark like that of a cat (everywhere will be dark but you must see the eyes).

We have African Civets in my village. When African Civets when sense danger, it always fights back, it once attack my cousin at night and it kills dogs. African Civets are carnivorous like other wild cats.

colonelwealth:
Stop wasting precious wildlife.
Atleat the Civet is not a dangerous animal to be exterminated.

Civet is a (wild) cat family, leopard, tiger, lion etc are all wild cat family. Anyone who tells you that African Civets are not dangerous don't know anything about this beast ( it kills and eats dogs and other animals, it also attacks humans).

Beremx:
Dave Umahi is relying on rigging the elections in his state to favour APC. In a free and fair election, APC can never win. Let the people vote for PDP since there's no LP candidate

Good morning, you have been active in political section for a while now despite the issues surrounding our politics of late.

One thing is certain, there will still be some form of rigging, intimidation come 18th but i believe that INEC will up their game and do better this time around.

Dshocker:
Habaaaa.....

N2.5m will only get you a good 2007 Toyota Corolla, all because you can't afford the direct tokunbo, which goes from N3.4m-N3.9m

You are yet to get a quality Japanese car for N2.5m, so why go for Mercedes Benz you can't maintain?

Mercedes cars consumes more fuel and neither are the parts cheaper.

But if you insist and feel you must belong in the society and be called a Benz gang owner, then be looking at a Nigerian used 2002 ML350.

Mercedes cars consumes more fuel and neither are the parts cheaper.

Good morning, my attention was caught on the copied part of your comment. Mercedes 4matic are fuel economy more than most Toyotas, I'm talking base on experience.

Mercedes 4matic is in the class of its own and economically better in terms of fuel than most cars, thank you.

Beremx:
good morning darling. Hope you slept well?
Most Nigerians are not happy too. It's really sad. Very sad

My night was good, they deceive Nigerias with the false hope that BVAS will transmit results from the polling units but it was all a hoax.

Here in FCT Abj, everywhere is quiet and ppl are not happy but ppl should not resort to violence. One thing is certain, BAT will definitely be better than PMB.

Beremx:
The illiterate has been murdering English on Twitter since today. Even Frank Edoho blasted him. Twitter people are laying savagery on him already 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good morning, you are not happy at all.

IyaebeTheGreat:
How am I not neutral? I just don’t want violence and if Atiku, obi or kwankwaso had won, i would still support them and preach against violence.

Your comment i copied gave you up ok, the flawed results reel out by INEC showed that Obi didn't engaged in "nzogbu-nzogbu" politics as you said.

If FCT Abj election was uploaded through the BVAS at the polling unit(s), you and many other Nigerians will be surprise.

IyaebeTheGreat:
I don’t belong to any party, I’m just after a peaceful coexistence among Nigerians. What we all need now is prayers for the incoming government and ask God to help them deliver. God bless you all

IyaebeTheGreat: 11:48am
Why should 2ndrunnerup be more agitated and angry more than 1strunnerup? Who should claim to be rigged between Atiku and Obi? It is well. Even if the election is conducted over and over again Obi won’t still win. Nigeria politics is a very delicate one and Nzogbu Nzogbu cannot win it. They all tried and I commend them but I think it’s time we forge ahead and pray for the incoming government. Please shun violence in any form.May God bless Nigeria

Good day, the above comment is yours and it showed that you are not neutral, so stop claiming to be neutral. I personally will not support any form of violence but the just concluded presidential election was flawed even in FCT Abj where BVAS accredited successfully but couldn't not upload results at the polling unit(s) thereby gave room for changes in figures.

Mindlog:
That INEC "said" it, does not mean it would not come up during litigation at the Supreme court

I understood vividly your standpoint but i must tell you the truth, going to the court will be a waste of time. You remember the comment attributed to the current chief justice of the federation on G5 governors?
