While we are enjoying our Saturday afternoon, a silent war is going on in regards to unveiling of the statue of the female President of Liberia in Imo state.
It's like we've not seen the end of this interesting season movie far more engaging than Jennifer's Dairy. Here are some reactions

It's just like hushpuppy making noise with Gucci paraphernalia and stuffs when the really rich ones don't give a Bleep.
Imagine the coffin that Pope John Paul II was buried in

Nice to know they have mirror on their boxing arena. At least you will be able to see how blue and black you have been beaten before leaving the ring.

Just like post MMM scam. The scam after the first scam. Just tell me any country where South African investors have committed serious funds for investment before, in any African country.
So a man facing corruption charges in his home country has a special ability to woo investors to another country just because they erected his larger than life statue. I guess next two weeks, Liberian investors are also coming to invest in the new ancestral market project. Believe at your own peril

MisterLomantic:
He looks ugly

I'd rather be a poor fine boy than an ugly billionaire with yachts and ostentatious lifestyle

amen. Poverty fall on you

Who will commission Bobrisky's own now that s/he has been arrested now

To all of you saying we are in the era of statues, egebenuoshii yii s'oun. (rotate your smelly mouths). If not for your governor that went about building statues to unknown gods and aliens, what is a city without arts?
Most importantly the ones that speaks much about the cultural attributes and heritage of the local people. After all no one is complaining of unpaid salaries and pensions in Lagos, so mind your own business

And tomorrow The Nigerian Navy will come and say they are willing and able. I used to think it's the most responsible military organization with some form of sanity left in the country today but apparently I'm wrong.
Yet they keep building local ship and equipment here and there like they are really doing some wonderful work. Imagine the strain on our forex yearly due to this avoidable situation.
We really should demiliterize Nigeria and contract all forms of defense and security to maybe the US or France in exchange for our oil. Worthless sects

Glo just want to milk poor people dry in this Nigeria with their grandfather internet they now tag unfair advantage. One will think he's getting a better bargain of 4 gig for 1000 naira when in the actual sense, it's a case of naira foolish, kobo wise.
I used to be a big advocate of their data till I got wiser. I I literally have to wait for data to come on after switching it on and it could take hours. The 3g signal has got a mind of its own. Even the speed most time is grandfather's speed.
(imagine a grandfather in a racetrack with 12-year Olds)
I discovered the more expensive MTN data share and my internet experience has never been the same. I stream Videos, send mails, catch up on the news and get absolutely no downtime whatsoever.
The sooner people know that glo's crappy internet service is a torture, the better it will be for them.

Nigerians deceiving themselves since they invented sliced bread. Since Engineering was brought down to Nigerian Universities from obodo oyinbo, what have the professors themselves invented that has improved the lives of the average citizens? Ordinary power bank, mba. We still buy from China.
We have been living in darkness since independence and drive tokunbo vehicles from abroad, yet Nigerian engineers have not thought it wise to take a cue from the norm and create something we can all appreciate and be proud of.
Shame on all who call themselves engineers and their professors in all Nigerian Universities. Let's face it, they are all bunch of quacks!

And no one got to test their heaven on earth internet already. We have been scammed, but we know.

1. Frying Akara.
2. Teaching Yoruba in Junior Secondary schools
3. Being a Nairaland mod. (I wonder if Seun pays well. Oga lala, how much is your salary?)
4. Carrying CVS across the streets of Lagos in a file, along with other credentials.

What will become of edible catering and her lovely midnight foods now

Funny how morality plays out. When God said "thou shall not kill" in all holy books, then every soldier, police and law enforcement officers that are licensed to kill and have actually killed someone is condemned to hell fire. No matter how guilty the killed was.

Please Seun can you borrow me Nairaland? I will return it back in two weeks time. Nothing will happen to it, I promise.
Thanks in advance

That's how these ibos behave. The other day I visited Owerri, enroute from Onitsha that's how the driver was accusing me of stealing his memory card just because I sat with him at the front, a bus of 18 passengers.
The only mistake was because I charged my phone with the music player. I had to tell him to search me to prove my innocence. I guess he was too guilty to go ahead. The irony was that this same man warned me to keep my phone in Onitsha because of thieves.
I wonder if they conducted appropriate investigation before they accused the poor guy of this. They never trust themselves, hope they get their country so they lynch themselves to death for all I care. Mtsheew

Even if it is a kiosk, as far as we know, MTN has laid most infrastructure pipeline in telecoms in Nigeria today. Even glo that has a gargantuan structure still sucks interms of connectivity.
It is we Nigerians that value frivolities over what is important. Harvard and many other ivy league schools retains olden brick structures that are not as aesthetic as The University of Ibadan. Yet the professors and products of the later are like "ward maid" compared to the former.

Let's spare a thought for TSTV and it's promise of entertaining channels as well as cheap internet all coming in November before cockROACHAS uses the thought of of annoying statues to kill us before our time. Thank goodness it's not in my state!

We should have a meme about this. Divides the country, lays a wreath of unity in another country. Bubu Buhari well done

Where are those proponents of electronic vehicles and driverless ones? You will keep quiet now as some Nairaland Igbos avoid Yoruba prosperity threads. I thought electric is the future of vehicles and everything is going to be just fine until this comes up
@poster below, yes. But this is one hazard too many. Imagine the cost of water and manpower to handle say 10 accidents in a month if electric vehicles goes full scale? These are the types of sceneries Tesla won't want you to see.

Journalism has gone to the dogs in this country. In 2017, we are now reading how people upped the price of TomTom sweets in a music festival. I guess this is from Punch or Daily Sun?
What next? Weather the writer's wife will wear yellow shoes with native to work on Friday. Nonsense

What a great dividend of democracy!! Who needs good roads, schools, jobs and hospitals when you can rather sing Christmas carols in December and be happy! You will even appear in Guinness Book of Records as the largest choir in the world, imagine!

nonxo007:
Pls is your state governor any better ?? You haven't been to the east and you come online here to type whatever just because you have the privileged of cheap data..is your state any better ?? You won't go anywhere in life if you don't stop your silly tribal comments...

It's people like you that are not given to critical reasoning that are the real problem. I was in Owerri some few days ago. Been to all other South Eastern states except Ebonyi and Enugu. Maybe you should read the topic again and I guess the op himself is from that state.
Learn to put your thinking caps on, Mr man. If you people are feeling the effects of good governance, why are there Biafran agitations? I'm sure you're the one using free data if we truly find out.

Igbos are just cursed with the worst sets of leaders in Nigeria. Perhaps apart from Anambra and Ebonyi that are performing quite fairly, the rest are just bunch of clowns. Imagine Rochas erecting statues all over Imo state when people go to bed hungry every night.

In summary, the wife is just being smart. What is the difference between learning ABCD in teletubies costumes and learning it under palm fronds? After all, ABCD will still be ABCD.
Except they have invented another one for the rich.

You would think that with the level of enlightenment of Imo people who are claimed to be the most educated among the igbos they would have been wiser to react to important issues.
Nigerians are being killed like chickens in South Africa and here we are in Imo state, launching statues and painting portraits to idolize their president who suppose to be the very one to curb the issue of Xenophobia in South Africa.
We the rest of Nigeria should spit on your flat heads.
