This people are up to something.

The south should get ready.

We don't care if they're from Mali or Malawi. They must be brought to book.

Always expressing 'shock' without taking any concrete actions to end the carnage.

Food prices have been on the increase long before the Ukraine war.

Find another thing to blame.

This people are on a mission. Is the south ready?

Enceladus:
Clash of civilizations! How will PVC fix this?

Outright break up, or strict restructuring where the regions are very independent of each other and contribute to the center.

Since no one wants to call a spade a spade, let's continue to look the other way and pretend that we are one.

They'll soon tell us that their achievements are so big that no one can see them.

Those terrorists have labs in Nigeria?

The north, empowered by the UK for selfish gains, is holding everybody ransome. Any attempt to alter the status quo is forcefully repressed. People are afraid to speak up.

The bondage has run its course, though. What is coming will surprise them.

The north is eager to cause unrest in the country, with the recent killings, attacks on Igbo populated areas in the north and making provocative statements. One wonders what they're up to.

That's his choice. Shouldn't be persecuted for that.

Why the lie?

Good news.

The country you're meant to lead is in complete shambles, and you want to help another achieve stability?

And, we share same country with these people?

He'll witness the worst alone.

The north playing Nigerians like chess.

Bring back Jonathan to do one term, and power returns to the north for another 8yrs.

These ESN folks should calm down. Soludo has a divine mandate in Anambra. Don't stand in the way.

If u want to sit at home, by all means, do so, but don't force others who don't want to.

A prosperous/secure Anambra/south east will benefit all of us.

Amoteks! Atleast, they stood their ground.

Would our invisible ebube agu have done same? Do they even exist?

SE govs are more vested in their political ambitions than the welfare of the people. Scores were killed in enugu recently. Yet to hear ugwuanyi say anything.

These guys are nothing but bandits in high places. The combined damage they wrecked in the world will take yrs to recover from.

Congratulations.

There is this girl I'm dating
Tbh...
I don't trust her...
She has lied to me in the past and also cheated on me...
I called her on Saturday..
I called her in the morning...

Someone was playing music in her room...
I asked her who it was....
She got angry that I don't trust her
I called her at night also
I swear I heard someone's voice in her room at night
She got angry when I asked who was there...hung up on me and switched off her phone ..
I apologized for "hearing" things...

Yesterday...
An anonymous person called me out of pity and told me that my girl usually stays in a guys room...
This same guy has kissed her twice even when she knows we are dating..
He even calls her when m around and tells her he wants to see her even when he knows m around...
She said she saw her coming out of the guys room that morning...
I asked her about it...
She got angry and wanted to know who told me about it...
She said I was a big fool and I do not have sense for believing the person...

Mind you ..my girlfriend has lied to me in the past and I have no reason to doubt the caller because she has nothing to gain if we break up...
What even made me break up with her was the fact that she started calling me names
I'll attach a message she said to me when I told her I was done...

My problem is this ..
We started having small talks after the whole thing...
I started explaining things to her!!

Can you imagine??
I feel like a fool right now...

Legends in the house...
How do I break up with her and never look back
She's toxic to both my emotions and finance
But still
A part of me won't completely let go
I need help guys

Any partner (male or female) that lies to you and insults you at the slightest opportunity is not worth your time. Such a person does not love you, or they have a weird way of showing their 'love'.

As for moving on, you have to; for your sanity. It will only get worse in the future.

Badboibipo:
I have tried to stop for over a thousand times but I keep failing. This particular habit is the worst habit anyone could have. Recently I have started seeing masturbation from a spiritual perspective and that’s because it is, it’s you simply discarding every sexual energy in you and it may seem normal but you’re losing so much from masturbation. There is a particular energy everyone has when you’re hornyyy, a very powerful energy that can be used to do anything great because you’re extremely aware and feel so alive when you’re hornny. I have once used that sexual energy to create a very complicated website in the dark web, that requires a very high level of IT understanding to do that, but a few videos here and there I was unstoppable, I started coding in three weeks and even designed a high level military grade website on a part of the internet that 90 percent of people don’t even know exist, that’s genius and that’s what I used sexual energy to do!
I hate masturbation, I curse the day I learned how to do this evil thing and I really wish I never have to do this demonic thing again.

A lot of sense.

Even buahri knows this to be true.

How the mighty hath fallen.

From propagating the gospel to propagating evil.

Hope they get their acts together before it is too late.

AntiBeEmCe:
As soon as I saw the name, I stopped reading. Eyewitness report from a fulani person is null and void.

Gbam.

God bless Soludo.
God bless Innoson.

We warned them about buhari and apc change, they called us wailers.

True to their words, Buhari and apc brought 'change', though the worst kind of change, like from bad to worse.

But, change is still change.

This man is obviously IPOB

8yrs wasted with these guys.

People are eagerly waiting for 2023, for the next administration to come on board and hopefully rescue the country.

BY DONU KOGBARA

I am asking this question because whenever I get involved in phone or face-to-face discussions with non-Igbos about the possibility of an Igbo Presidency in 2023, negative remarks are the norm.

Sometimes, an individual comprehensively insults Igbos, highlights their alleged character flaws and “crimes” and swears that they will never get near the top job. Sometimes, within group settings, several Igbophobes simultaneously launch harsh verbal attacks.

Sometimes those who regard the South East as politically unworthy restrict themselves to comments that are relatively mild but still extremely patronising and essentially damning, such as: “Igbos are OK but simply not ready for national leadership at the moment.”

Many people feel free to speak ill of Igbos in my presence because I have a Niger Deltan name, so they don’t know that my mother is from Imo State. And I’ve learned a lot about Igbophobia while conversing with bigots who aren’t aware of my mixed ethnicity.

I describe them as bigots because none of their reasons for wanting Igbos to be excluded from the presidency make sense to me.

Let me list the complaints I have heard and offer rejoinders:

COMPLAINT: Igbos tried to leave and destroy Nigeria via the Biafran civil war and continue to loudly support separatism via Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB, so have no right to ever seek to run a Nigeria that is in one piece today only because Igbos lost the civil war and only because Buhari’s government has clipped Kanu’s wings.

REJOINDER: Without wishing to stir up animosities by going into lengthy, complex, painful historical details, let me briefly point out that Igbos did not embrace Biafra for stupid or unfair reasons, that they were the greatest victims of the war and that most Igbos do not support Kanu’s secessionist agenda or fiery rhetoric.

COMPLAINT: Igbos are too clannish. They shamelessly promote each other whenever they can and have no times for other tribes.

REJOINDER: Nonsense! All Nigerians are clannish. This country is full of public-and private-sector organisations that are completely dominated by Yorubas or Fulanis. Meanwhile, we minorities can be just as bad when we get a chance to be blindly prejudiced. My cousin once begged me, many years ago, not to nominate a very capable professional for a job because he didn’t come from our village. Meanwhile, the candidate from our village was a village idiot!!!

COMPLAINT: Igbos are chronic mercenaries who don’t care about anything except money and would sell their grannies if they could.

REJOINDER: Sure, some Igbos are aggressively avaricious. But I know quite a few Igbos who are gentle, intellectual altruistic souls…and lots of non-Igbos who are irredeemably materialistic.

Also, let’s face it: Nigeria needs the entrepreneurial Igbo spirit and the numerous goods and services that Igbo merchants provide.

COMPLAINT: Igbos colonise every location they settle in.

REJOINDER: Have Igbo settlers ever tried to topple any emir or oba or amayanabo? Are Igbos not just true Nigerians who are ready to make themselves comfortable wherever they find a business to do? In any case, more fool any son/daughter of the soil who lazily sits back and allows a newcomer to take over his/her terrain!

COMPLAINT: Igbos are crude and brash.

REJOINDER: Some Igbos are definitely insufferably crude and brash. And so are some Yorubas and some Northerners.

COMPLAINT: Igbos are not united or well-organised enough within a political context, so why should anyone take them seriously?

REJOINDER: Disunity is rife in other parts of the country, so why fixate about it only when Igbos display it?

COMPLAINT: Igbos are innately Republican and don’t humbly bow to those who are above them in life’s pecking order and cannot be easily ruled.

REJOINDER: True! But are egalitarian tendencies a crime? Being Igbo is not widely regarded as an advantage…which probably explains why Rivers people with Igbo names insist that they aren’t Igbo…even though the dialects in which they vehemently denounce their roots are very similar to Igbo. So who is fooling whom?!

Igbos have been so demonised in this country that debates about who stands a chance of taking over from President Buhari next year mostly revolve around Yoruba and Northern aspirants.

Sometimes when I listen to such debates, I marvel at the fact that Igbos are barely mentioned. An alien who lands on earth and eavesdrops on these calculations and speculations might be forgiven for concluding that Vice President Osinbajo and APC chieftain Tinubu are the only runners and that Igbos don’t matter at all. And yet, if you believe in rotation and zoning, it is their turn!!!

Igbos themselves are part of the problem. Many seem resigned to being ignored. I’ve even heard some Igbos saying that they can live without political power and are happy to concentrate on commerce.

I have a couple of senior friends in Ohanaeze, the pan-cultural organisation for Igbos; and I pray that they will vigorously fight for a place at the high table for their beleaguered brethren because even if one does not believe in zoning or rotation, the status quo is not fair at all.

The bottom line is that a quality Igbo candidate should be as potentially electable as a quality candidate from elsewhere.
