Igbos keep misrepresenting us. When a foreign news outlet wants to report this now, they will say a Nigerian woman sold her grandchild for 65 dollars. Notwithstanding the fact that an hausa, Fulani, yoruba,tiv, birom,jukun or any of the other 200 plus tribes cannot think of this despicable evil irrespective of the level of poverty in the country. Shame!!!

This story get K-leg but let me try to guess what REALLY happened.
A mother was deeply ashamed that her daughter gave birth at home (i.e out of wedlock) and was desperate to cover the shame.
She finds a woman willing to adopt the baby, and the adopting woman gave her a token of 50k.
This is what usually happens to churcheous families where women would rather kill their daughters than accept their out of wedlock babies.
It is a foreign culture that took hold in Igboland.
Before this foreign culture took hold, all babies (whether born in or out of wedlock ) were valued and appreciated in Igboland.
The sooner Igbo people start going back to their original culture on these types of things, the better for them.
Else these types of stories will even grow more horns and tails in the future.
A word is enough ....

How is this any different from a business transaction? A baby bought for a price, irrespective of the circumstances. Don't other tribes give birth out of wedlock too? Why don't they sell their own babies

Wait o, no be the same Mercy Aigbe who converted to Islam and even won an award recently as the "defender of the Muslim faith with money". What happened to her Hijab? Doesn't that apply in Canada?

A pineapple plant can only produce one pineapple a year. If the above fact is the case, how come we still have enough pineapple for various uses.

There are a few reasons why we still have enough pineapple for various uses, even though each plant only produces one pineapple a year:

Pineapples are grown in many different parts of the world. This means that there is a constant supply of pineapples available, even if one particular region is experiencing a shortage.
Pineapples can be stored for a relatively long period of time. This means that pineapples can be harvested and shipped during one season and then stored and sold during another season.
Pineapples can be processed in a variety of ways. This includes canning, freezing, and drying. This allows pineapples to be used in a variety of products, such as juice, jams, and pies.
Pineapple plants can produce multiple suckers. Suckers are young plants that grow from the base of the mother plant. These suckers can be removed and replanted to produce new pineapple plants. This means that a single pineapple plant can produce multiple pineapples over the course of its lifetime.
In addition to these factors, pineapple production has become increasingly efficient in recent years. This is due to advances in agricultural technology, such as improved irrigation and fertilization methods. As a result, pineapple farmers are now able to produce more pineapples per acre than ever before.

Overall, there are a number of reasons why we still have enough pineapple for various uses, even though each plant only produces one pineapple a year.

People need to believe in something. Superman, Spiderman, Ironman, Peter Obi, just anything to help them escape the pressure of their lives. Last last, every super hero is just an ordinary guy somewhere with his dark secrets. I love how the ruling party just left this man alone to be deceiving his dumb followers like some form of demigod.
See as someone decided to open a thread of him walking.
The moment Obi tries to raise his girly voice above normal as a way to lock horns with the federal government is the day he's going down. Imagine the other day he went to the media to read absolute gibberish with no reasonable point. Even his followers are shocked he could go down that low.
The real man in this fight is Atiku, the loser. He's the only one that has the ability to go into an elephant fight with PBAT, but he has recently been incapacitated by his recent outings.
Meanwhile let's all bask in the glory of the failed messiah, The Okwute.

Agents of Lucifer supporting evil while people die in poverty and hopelessness

Hello angel of light from Nekede, tell me who has died in poverty and hopelessness in your street this evening. Pictorial proof should do

So the matrix of a president doing well is when dollar becomes 1 naira? No wonder Gbajue Peter from Agulu was able to scam you people with statistics. The people that entrusted the current government with their votes are not bothered by the rise of dollars against the naira.
[quote author=onumadu post=126484080]
I only have one question for you. If Anambra was an El-dorado as obi made it, why are you guys all running away from it? Visiting once a year. The previous governor couldn't even stay after his regime. Obi had to only relocate down because of political reasons. He's been in Lagos all his life. His children are not equally in the state. Why is this so?

Since Buhari's tenure came to an end, Femi Adeshina ought to come down from his high horses and acknowledge that he and his principal failed woefully. He shouldn't reinforce failure by this obviously useless book . It'd be better if he had written a book of apologies to Nigerians. That one would have carried more aura

Even though Aketi tried in the early days of his administration, this second term has largely been a huge joke. It's unfortunate that he fell sick for a prolonged period, but his wife turned the govt house into a circus and a fencing ring, chasing after imaginary enemies. His deputy too started turning on his own and when Aketi returned, he still couldn't pilot the helms of affairs of the state well. I doubt if he has attracted any FDI into the state since the beginning of the year.
Even though he was very influencial in the emergence of PBAT as president as he garned the people's support and all, presidential influence will not be able to save him this time to install an annointed candidate. The people of Ondo state are waiting for him (APC) at the polls

Tell them. Peter Obi's people are definitely going to hell for many reasons. Below is 10 reasons Obidients are going to hell:

1. Insulting people unjustly because they have refused to support their candidate
2. Hatred for Tinubu and ultimately Yorubas
3. Dishonoring men of God. No popular pastor that has said anything against the obidient movement who has not been served really negatively
4. Sowing the seed of discord among Nigerians. Friends have been destroyed, marriages are broken because of people being on different side of the divide between Peter Obi
5. Bearing false witness and narratives. Tinubu went to CSU. The BBC has proven it. US court has proven it.( Ask Atiku). But they prefer to believe otherwise to suit their own agenda
6. Allowing an atheist to lead their movement. That David Hundeyin doesn't believe in God. Bible said we must not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Unbelievers here implies anyone that does not believe in a deity. (Seun don't be angry o!)
7. Manipulation: They have manipulated the Tribunal judges to do their biddings. We all remember when they were chanting all eyes on the judiciary, threatening those poor judges and their families with fire and brimstone like witches and wizards
8. Using the name of God in vain: they allowed obidient pastors to manipulate the election result falsely from the pulpit to suit their bidding. This is a great sign before God
9. They rejoice at misfortune of political rivals: If you don't support Peter Obi, you're as good as dead to them. They have rejoiced when bad things happen to PBAT supporters, wished that the president suddenly died many times over
10. They are fond of spreading fake news. This is a great evil before God, and it is equally very fatal for people here on earth.

Nigerian opposition parties and figures nowadays are just clowning around and not addressing issues of concern to Nigerians. I've often maintained that APC ( then ACN) was more credible and relevant as an opposition party during PDP's heydays than PDP/LP currently is now. There's really no one to challenge the ruling party to be up to their responsibilities. Atiku for the past few days has been wasting his time in US Court chasing shadows and recently came to cry on national TV. Peter Obi has literally gone into hiding while his followers are more interested in dancing to Atiku's tunes of vanity, being played by the refugee David Hundeyin.
This is how 8 years will go again and they will come and appeal to their emotions again and loose. We need to do better for ourselves as a people.

Abandoning Obi so soon? They couldn't even believe that their own party candidate can win. So shameful

True true, as the Yoruba proverb says, "if big trouble no knack you for ground, small one no go show you shege". Imagine Atiku being an object of ridicule to small NNPC. Even EluPee people denied him in his misadventure.
Instead of him to lick his wounds silently after a bad comeback from the CSU Case abroad, he decided to come home with a bang.
After his failed world press conference now I doubt if anything significant has happened. People are more concerned about the outcome of Mohbad's death than his pathetic stories.
To have him complement that useless David Hundeyin tells a lot. Two miserable fools living in a little bubble.

We don't want please. They should rather use the money build a beer city in Anambra, let's be drinking ourselves to stupor daily

This has to be the stupidest thing ever celebrated. One back ended media company with 11-50 employees according to their LinkedIn profile also headquartered in lagos decided to gather a list of people they like in their board meeting and award them a shitty trophy. For doing literally nothing. In David's case, all he had to do is to cut and join pictures from Pinterest, blogs and beer parlour analysis and claim he's doing "research"
We all know the format. You can buy awards these days, but in his case, this particular one is not worth the plague it is designed on. Shame!

This isn't a tragedy.... This is a mess ....

A first class family who's name they bear went through prisons and activism to put his name on the lips of so many people across the world.


Yet his offsprings are living a stupid lifestyle.

Isn't that the same thing back home? Look at Seyi Awolowo's outing so far in BBN. His comment about sexualizing women. Look at Seun Kito too, slapping an unprovoked police officer in the line of duty. The apple always fall far from the tree of popular activists.

He keeps overpushing it. Part of the conditions of seeking asylum in the west involves documents such as government reports, news articles, or witness statements. There has been no known document of this effect from the government. It is as if David doesn't exist. Infact, Nnamdi Kalu was more of a person of interest to the Nigerian government.
Also, he will need an expert testimony from a sociologist, political analyst, or other experts on his home country. No one back home can give such a verdict, even Rufai the parrot.
Lastly, the Oxford University has forever sealed his fate as a disreputable fraudster who is also a sexist. It even appeared on his Wikipedia page. The internet never forgets. His previous Canadian asylum claims denial for being gay is also eternally stamped on his forehead. He's definitely in for a long ride in Ghana.

We need to ask those at Okigwe Motor park the reason why they are crying because I believe it's not tears of joy. The journalist did a shoddy job. Meanwhile why are they burying people in their homes? For a state capital, that's preposterous! Make person no just talk shaa

PBAT go just Siddon on him own and his enemies begin to fall upon each other. The other day I was reading about a tribal banter between one popular Akin Oloye where another obidient told him he was a pretending bigot. A known obidient for that matter. Also, it's funny that Atiku has been the one bankrolling all the "research" that David Hundeyin guy claims he is doing while obidients see him as one of their heros. He's only being a friend of convenience to Peter Obi, not because of good governance or anything. No wonder he's outdoing himself this time to get asylum in the west and leave the whole team party behind. The more you look, the less you really see!

Na here we dey when Atiku was shouting INEC server all over the internet. He even had to do an advert that "Atiku is coming" to enhance his PR. Fast-forward to 2023, he has collaborated with a certain ghanian refugee and Obi the boy to distract us with another wild goose chase. When some dancers sang "awa n'se 'joba, eyin n'sejo" (we are doing governance while you lot's are running around in court) the other day, it sounded like some mild entertainment. It's actually a deep phrase

Even upon all Buhari did to this country, he had the dignity to retire to a life of piety in his farm. Obi also has lived all his life in Lagos before he gbajuely and reluctantly relocate to Anambra as an emergency "New Nigeria" coroner.
Tomorrow they will claim they turned Anambra to El-dorado, where they couldn't reside in their old age. Shame!

Just few days ago, I said here on Nairaland that David is going to be apprehended soon, for his shenanigans. I never knew that life will come so fast at him. He's hoping that by releasing a video, he will be able to get asylum claims in any choice country in the west, but alas, he shot himself in the foot. After his embarrassing outing at the small African country he abused their top government official of corruption, accusing Chicago Uni of corruption and Oxford university of one stupid claim, not to mention his arrogant attitude of blocking dissident opinions except for obidients. He has garnered so much enemies for himself at his young age than friends.
I heard he claimed to be gay to seek asylum in Canada too, but was denied. That must be a new low. I hope they give him a cozy space close to Nnamdi Kalu because his cup is full this time. That video ain't got anything to save him.

To be honest, there is really nobody holding the igbos from building their own riverport to the sea. Now that PBAT had removed the impediment of centrally controlled electricity, and equally told regional governor's to work on their own railway. There has been no concrete plan by any governor in the South East to build a feasible port anywhere. Obi the "wise guy" decided to use state funds to build a brewery rather than a functional river port, lobbying the then FG.
More properly put, the Onitsha river was dredged and the port revitalized and was commissioned alongside the brewery the same day by Jonathan, when Obi was governor but because of vested interests, Obi diverted his attention to his jointly owned brewery and suppressed the use of the port. The Imo state they are shouting about has never made even a move to build a port.
Recall that AKSG already has an approval for a deep seaport which they are working on already. I would have expected that Imo state governor who is actually APC would have gone to lobby Buhari in Abuja, but no. It's all emotional blackmail and false narratives on the internet

Anambra people are not celebrating their governor because he has refused to blow the trumpet of their fake messiah, Peter Obi. You can barely meet an Anambra person who will say with bare chest that he's proud of Soludo. Even though the dude is trying his best with the meager state funds (as SE states are not that rich).
They have lost obi at the national level while also loosing a good man at the state due to lack of appreciation, bitterness and other petty reasons. Tomorrow they will say Anambra no be Lagos and go vote a terrible governor. People should learn how to be strategic in politics.

Peter Obi's people won't just stop mortgaging the health of millions of Nigerians for quick bucks. Is skin cancer a joke to anyone? Tomorrow they will tell us that he wants to bring some imaginary good governance to Nigerians that we haven't seen before. The same man that "gbajue" resides in his DNA

This guy has just been obsessively hooked with the past details of PBAT'S life as if his life depends on it. For someone who is just 30 years old, he needs to take a chill pill. The Tinubu that he's playing child's play with has everyone's reset button. His time has not just yet come.
He thinks he can sit down in Ghana and be blogging things that are bigger than his generation because of asylum papers. He should ask Nnamdi Kalu how market. Even Obi his paymaster has calmed down as he's found out that he's just a boy in the scheme of things. People should know when to live and let leave.

Oil dey your head. Na wetin come my mind when I bin read the news be this. The stupid gee should not forget her biro now. Maybe she should write the Niger Junta for diplomatic intervention.

You people are obsessed with Igbos. You sleep, eat and breathe Igbo.

Obsessed ke? Of all the things in this world, it's Igbo people issue that I'll carry in my head. Shioor! Here is a public forum. The thread was open for people's comment and I said mine, so that automatically translates to obsession to you. You must think so highly about your tribe. You're not relevant really. There are 250 plus tribes in Nigeria

See what Peter Obi's people are doing. This is why people find it very difficult to trust igbos with politics. They had a mutually beneficial arrangement and one party renegaded, so it's best to sell off the university so that everyone loses. Can't there be compromise? Just the same way they're threatening to burn down the country because Peter Obi lost. May God help these people.

Ww were on this internet, quietly minding our own business when you all touted Soludo as the Solution you Anambrans have been waiting for. He was to turn Anambra to Japan or how did you guys put it. This is why the rest of the country find it very difficult to trust Igbo politicians. Today, it's Peter Obi that you people are bullying us to vote for. Many of us are trained to highlight and trash bullshit from afar.

Focusmind:
I don't trust Soludo, honestly. These signing contracts may just be for demonstration purposes. Onitsha and Anambra as a whole is in dire need of solid infrastructure....Investment can't thrive or happen in an environment with decrepit or non existent infrastructure. I haven't heard or seen Soludo commissioned a project since he came to power. It has always been flagging off or signing the beginning of one project or the other.... no completed project to his name.

Alas, Peter Obi's toxic movement set igbo people back to 1993. After Buhari made sure to call their bluff by calling them a dot in a circle for not supporting his political ambition, they found love in Peter Obi to resent the formidable PBAT APC movement. I'm sure Shettima won't forget in a hurry, the negative vibes he got during his campaign in Owerri. He was literally embarrassed on live TV.
If they like they should metamorphosize into different secessionist blocs, the truth is nobody is ready to tolerate their petty shenanigans again. You cannot bully anyone for so long.
