I'm here for a friend's wedding for the next few days, I was able to move around the major streets and inner city areas and I must say Alex Otti seems to be doing quite a fantastic job with sanitizing Aba; lots of cleaner roads, clear signs of urban improvements seem to be going on like widening of major Federal roads, renovation of old buildings and demolishing of shanties etc...

I must admit Igbos love their tall buildings/bungalows or "Uno enu" as they like to call it here. Ariaria market seems cleaner and more organized as well. Almost every young person I've met in Ariaria market seems to be engaged in one form of trade or tech skill,nobody is idle...everybody is just on the movie.

Kudos to Alex Otti, I hope he continues the momentum cause Abia state looks very promising I won't lie.

Bros, I am a full fledged LP supporter but Otti has not done anything yet. All you see are from the past administrations. The new governor is yet to start his own.

We South Easterners have high standards that's why you will hear us criticizing our governors to make them sit up. I know you are surprised by what you saw, which made you think it's the new governor. But then, what you read online about us and what the realities are is always different...

You haven't seen anything yet. Come over to Owerri and Enugu et al

Do you even know the distance between Abia and Imo to Port Harcourt

1. Wearing the normal West African/Nigerian agbada with the red Igbo cap
2. Wearing the Isi Agu with the red igbo cap

Agbada is never an Igbo attire. The ishi agu is the correct Igbo native wear. It looks for smart and official to me

I came to love Enyimba FC during the days of Enyeama when he was their goalkeeper in 2002-2004 when they won the CAF champions league. Then Enyimba was like Mancity of today

Yeah bro. I remember those days. This your username sha

concerning the history, that it was iguanas that urhobos used as aid to go across river during war, making urhobos to rever it,which may or may not be correct, I believe its physical psychology of acceptance by others that applies in this case. Where an animal isn't harmed, they tend to be close to humans, like at ndemili local government area in Anambra, they don't harm pythons for generations, hence the closeness between them and humans. If your door oprn, even when u sit there, thrm to move pass u entrt house, knowing u will not harm them. When I went greeting a friend, na so them coil close to his fence.

Woww. Wonderful. Thanks for the elucidation

A Pandora criminal caught looting severally is honorably. This same bastard we are still talking with him working with Abacha killing squad ..😂 I bet your father as no idea what honour is.

Why not bring your father n compare with you let's see where your hopeless father stand. Pandora Peter Obi is more than an idiot but a diehard criminal that deserve to be stoned to death for his crime against Nigeria working with assassins like Abacha n his relentless looting of Anambra commonwealth into his foolish daughter Gabrielle Pandora account n we are yet to even talk about the ₦250 million the oloriburuku looted monthly with governor's convey from Anambra to Lagos before the cursed bastard was caught red handed by Marvel Akpoyibo then Lagos commissioner of police.

Why should I take an ethnic bigot who feeds on second hand information seriously? No be Yoruba you be again. People that can infuse lies and ethnic colouration into anything they don't understand to make themselves feel better.

So far, your comments have still not changed one bit the fact that idiocy runs in your blood. You cann't even make simple sentences without sounding odious and idiotic.

Sorry, I forgot Tinubu has annexed whatever fabric of reason and independence you have. Iffa hear say your life doesn't end up in unprecedented tragedy, make I know wetin cause am.. God forbid you. Idiota esculenta

Akpabio's achievements are so visible as a former Governor of Akwa Ibom state. He transformed that state to meet modern standards. What can anyone point to as Yari's achievements as a former Governor of Zamafara? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Tomorrow some people will be talking about how the South East/South South hate APC. Tell me the justification in denying them the Senate presidency. I am Igbo, but I support the Senate Presidency to be given to Akoabio.. Orji Uzor Kalu et al do not deserve it

See as e tied them like thief wey go steal transformer, especially that iguana. That lizard na our closest pal for my villa, orogun, delta state. We don't harm it, and it moves freely,mixes freely with humans, even coming to meet u where u sit, and sleeps there where u are.

Like seriously? Is there a superstitious belief attached to the lizard in your native folklore?

UcLloyd:
You know nothing about football for rating wing play above midfield play. Pep starting building attack from the GK, started false 9,starting defending by ball possession, this season, he made Stones, a CB versatile, u can't predict Pep, his a football genius, his blessed. I'm a Chelsea fan, Ake was a Chelsea reject, KDB was a Chelsea reject, Pep moulded them and now u call them world class players who helped Pep? I don't know how u guys watch football aswerugad

When next you want to comment, calm down and read to understand first. I never alluded that wing play is better than midfield play. Who would say that? Midfield is the most important part of a football team.

What I was saying is that Klopp mixes his style from different parts of the pitch namely wing, midfield, strikers, individual techniques and high press. Whereas Guardiola majors mostly on midfield. What is there not to understand??

De Bruyne has always been atalented player right from his days at Genk but game time due to seniors above him in the Chelsea team and outright mismanagement by Mourinho threw him away. Okay, if you only give the credit to Guardiola, then what would you say about guys like Mo Salah, Cuadrado et al who were also shown the exit door by Chelsea yet still proved their worth elsewhere?

Even that of Ake, he was always going to be a promising player but Chelsea's player management made him go away. Before a player like De Bruyne and Ake can turn out this good, there must have be elements of inhere football talent.

Sadio Mane that was well utilised by Klopp much more than when he was at Southampton and now at Bayern Munich, what would you say about him and Klopp?

The way I see this, those scammers were not wise, they may be smart. It's either they started with good intentions and then decided to run away with people's money when they saw the size of their financial portfolio.

If not the above, then it's damn foolish of them to have engaged in such a destructive move, cos if the curses and other negative outcomes that may ensue. Even if they started with the intention of scamming people, the size of their customer base, financial strength, goodwil and the expansive market should have made any reasonable person to have a change of criminal mind and follow a genuine path. They may laugh now, but they will surely cry later.

This was how Forex Farms, Chymall et al mesmerised people and ran away with their monies. I am presently looking at Dynace with a 7D visor...

Then you don't respect introverts.

I'm not sure how you define "selfishness" here, but I know that being over-analytical is one feature you can't take away from introverts.

It's like our lifeblood. You can't be alone with your thoughts most of the time and not be over-analytical. There are pros to this thing too.

Have you heard the saying that over analysis dey cause paralysis?

Corruption in Nigeria is endemic to all region and state's in Nigeria. The difference might just be that the southern politicians love to show off. The solution to all these madness is to make politics less attractive by cutting cost.

So which region of Nigeria have involved more in national corruption? Which tribe has looted our collective commonwealth more? Say the truth

Drienzia:
For some reasons, I don’t consider Pep as an exceptional coach like the media portrayed. Any manager to have coached City since the Arab owner took over had always won the EPL. Mancini did, Pellegrini did, unluckily they had just three years each. It took Pep 7yrs to win it with City, it’s possible both previous managers would had done it if they were given same number of luxury years create, dynamite and recreate a stronger team.

The two previous managers built City and left a strong City side with the likes of Toure Yaya, Vincent Kompany, Aguero etc, so it’s safe to say Pep inherited a strong city side and built on it.

Pep is a great coach no doubt but certainly not a tactical genius as the likes of Klopp’s Liverpool, Mourinho’s Chelsea of 2004, and Ferguson’s UTD that created a mountain out of a molehill. For the past 7yrs at City he spent over a billion euros, no manager has spent such in a single spell in a team, so winning the UCL is the barest minimum.

Congratulations to City, and it’s safe to say the EPL is the new farmers league, the reason also is not because of Pep’s brilliance, it’s because football has died not only in England but the entire Europe and we have so many players with no passion but just for the weekly wages. The generation of Ferdinand, Vidic, Terry, Sketel, Puyol, Abidal, Evra, Cole, Henry, Kaka, Lampard, David Villa, Kompany, Chellini etc was the last generation of talent based and passion oriented football.

I don't believe with most things you write there. But that it Klopp is agree with you. The way Klopp plays his heavy metal football is a joy to watch. They combination of wing play, midfield, strikers, individual skill and over all intense press is very massive. Guardiola majors mostly on midfield but Klopp is more thorough... The days of Mane, Firmino and Salah will always be fresh on my mind.

Another coach who is underestimated is Hansi Flick. The way that guy structured his Bayern Munich team of 2018-2020 was a joy to behold. That was when they would give you huge scorelines as 5-0, 6-0, etc. Bayern Munich of these days were a beast .. Guardiola is good though but I prefer these guys above him sometimes

Only God knows this

Yes...That which the soul bears witness to by the instrument of the scriptures and the word of God is undeniable.

I have had dreams relative to that. I believe it strongly. And any athesis that days otherwise is denying him/herself. Cos even you knows you are more than just a like of flesh. When you knows that you are a spirit being. Go figure

Someone that's supposed to be cooling off in prison. Let the government go after him now, some misinformed citizens would cry "political witch hunting!"..

Nigerian leaders are not just corrupt but wicked (this is pure evil)!!

And yet his people were slaughtered like rams by bandits (only God knows how much price and cut was agreed between these governors and those bandits), but the usual focus was on Buhari...

All of them are corrupt. Even Tinubu. In fact he is more corrupt than them all

crossfm:
What is really wrong with Nigerian politicians.

The money for all these car's would have gone a long way in solving most of the problem zamfara State is facing.

This is pure evil. The funny thing is that almost all the state's in Nigeria might be passing through the same ordeal.

But someone will say Hausa-Fulani are saints but they have looted this country more than any other ethnic group

Rubyjade:
I used to work with several engineers with diverse personalities but many of them were somewhat introverted. I found being kind, leaving them to their work and not forcing them to be overly involved.

For the most part, they were thinkers and not as introverted as they appeared. I discovered once they got comfortable with me that they would chat and we'd laugh.

I think the key is to try to be understanding, try to make sure they are comfortable around you and don't pressure them to do what isn't natural to them. Invite them to social activities like luncheons and other things but don't be surprised if they don't attend. I used to ask one if he wanted me to make him a plate. Eventually, he attended.

As long as they are doing their job, leave them to it. People in certain positions took those positions because it doesn't usually involve social activities. Engineers, accountants, dishwashers…there’s a lot of jobs that don't need to be social. Assume that's why they choose that job.






Introverts are not rude or arrogant. We just keep ourselves to ourselves and get on with things. It doesn't mean we're unfriendly.


1. Allow them to get settled in at work in the morning before talking their ear off. Introverts sorta have to acclimate themselves to social environments such as work or parties every time.

2. Keep conversations short and sweet unless they are keeping the conversation going. Nothing is more awkward than a person that won’t stop talking to you despite your clear lack of interest in what they’re saying. Just say “hi” and keep it moving unless they are clearly in the mood to talk.

3. If they say their “fine” or “okay” just take their word for it. Don’t try to probe for more information or try to get them to open up to you. We’re naturally quiet, reserved, and have bitch resting faces! We’re not sad or upset…that’s just how we are naturally.

4. If we decline the invitation to the office happy hour or Christmas party, please respect our decision! Don’t try to convince us to go or ask us why we don’t want to go. We would just rather avoid large awkward social gatherings! And everyone, (even extroverts) can agree that office social events are a bit awkward!

5. Don’t tell them that they need to be more social in the office. The only thing we NEED to do is our freakin job! Everything else outside of that is extra credit. And we are also well aware that our social withdrawal may cost us a promotion but we’re perfectly fine with that! Co-workers are just that…coworkers…not friends!

6. Don’t try to force them out of their comfort zone by putting them on the spot. We aren’t “shy” extroverts who need to get out more. We are introverts who actually prefer flying under the radar. Don’t make them give the presentation to the whole office! Don’t make them wear the stupid Halloween costume for everyone’s amusement! Don’t put them on blast in mass emails! Don’t make them give speeches to the whole office! Just leave us alone!!

7. Don’t make our quietness seem like an issue. Almost all of my supervisors have said “Gosh! You’re really quiet!” In reality, we’re similarly bothered by how loud everyone else is but UNLIKE you, we don’t make a big deal about it. We accept people for who they are. SO WHAT, if I’m quiet and you’re talkative?? People are different. Don’t make me feel uncomfortable for being who I am!

I know I listed 7 points, but it all boils down to 2 things:

ACCEPT THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE
LEAVE THEM ALONE UNLESS THEY REQUEST OTHERWISE!

I respect introverts but hate their selfishness and over analytical nature

Sucre6:
There is this introvert colleague of mine, babe would stay on her own, when everyone is yabing each other, catching cruise and joking around, she will just be on her own, silent, funny thing I meet her in the organization so it's not like she is new or anything.

I always try to carry her along, make her laugh and pay attention to her, she can only confidently talk to me in the office, like she don't talk pim if you don't ask her anything, now we are best buds

I don't envy introverts

Like they did to MKO Abiola right?😁😁😁

LOVEALAIGBO:
Hope you all see what the ‘abokinisation’ of the Nigerian political-economy has caused! I don’t even wanna think of the debt Nigeria accrued under Buhari, not to mention the tens…..if not hundreds of thousands of deaths!

The most annoying thing is that these abokis too like power which they are not good at. The little achievement Nigeria has ever achieved at any point in time has always been when a southerner is in power. That's why I tell people that no matter how bad BAT's government gets, it can never be as bad as that of Buhari, and i am saying this even though I am a hardcore Obidient. Reason being that Southerners are far more likely to go for competence over ethnicity unlike Southerners.

We southerners have tolerated a lot of things the North can never tolerate. When Buhari was ruling, and travelled abroad, you would always notice some difference when Osinbajo exerted some degree of power..

Na wa ooo. Clout chasing on the beat

savcy:
One thing I can never understand is, why a man who has the resource to buy as many exotic vehicles as he wishes would still go ahead and steal the ones he bought for the office of the governor. The greed of Nigeria's political class is automatic doom for this country. It's unbelievable.

He must be an Igbo man. Only Igbos can do this.... mtcheeww

I thought they said Hausa-Fulani are not greedy. I thought they said Igbos are greedy. Thunder fire any bigot that engages in one sided narrative just to cause ethnic bias. Good people dey everywhere bad people dey everywhere.

FreeStuffsNG:
He is playing. When he was switching names from Chinedu to Gbadebo, yet can not speak a single correct complete sentence in Yoruba, insults Yoruba, Yoruba Leaders and Yoruba land on the social media, he did not know the Yoruba see his game. Smh.

He has lost the moral ground and it is in order to conclude that Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour is not Yoruba. It is unfortunate that characters like him misrepresented the silent minority of Igbo who remain patriotic and do not like the way Igbo like him are riling up their Yoruba hosts.

Here is a soft reminder to him that the law of reciprocity is a legitimate demand to stop the politics of hate,lies and bigotry every four four years.

Benefits of Law of Reciprocity
https://www.nairaland.com/7612989/lagos-guber-plight-igbo-law

The benefits are too numerous and sustainable.

Jobs will be more abundant to the Yoruba natives at home and away from home.

This reciprocity policy will help provide jobs and social benefits to all Yoruba in other states especially if this policy of reciprocity is adopted by all the southwest states.

It will equally help draw mostly talents and less of lazy or criminal elements to the Southwest from the South East which in turn will help improve the economy of Yoruba states and Yoruba living outside SW, especially in Igboland.

The Yoruba need the jobs here at home too and those resident in Igboland should benefit from jobs in Igboland so that the same privileges the Igbo benefit here in Yorubaland their govts are giving with reciprocity to the Yoruba.

Our economy in SW will grow in leaps and bounds with the policy reciprocity.

The State Executive councils and state Houses of Assembly in the South West should formulate an effecrive strategy and laws to domesticate the policy of reciprocity in their states like they did with the Amotekun law.

A more radical variant of this pragmatic policy was adopted and implemented by the Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Ibrahim Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto-led Northern Nigeria government in the 1st republic . It was very effective to quickly help Northern Nigeria ramp up human capacity and infrastructural development before the Premier's life was terminated violently on January 15, 1966.

Conclusion

Yoruba should not cheat Igbo and Igbo should not cheat Yoruba. Enough of this politics of lies, hate and bigotry every 4 years.

Reciprocity is the way out.


LAGOS GUBER & PLIGHT OF IGBOS: Law Of Reciprocity Is The Solution

Background

For weeks leading to the elections till now, I notice a profound tension and apprehension from the majority section of Igbo who do not respect and appreciate the warm reception they enjoy in Lagos. Please note that a minority of Igbo in Lagos are not part of the unappreciative tendencies fuelling the hostility the Yoruba now have against the Igbo in Lagos.

Since 1999, Lagos state government from under Asiwaju Bola Tinubu (1999-2007) till date has been giving free education , free health and employment to our Igbo visitors in Lagos like the Yoruba natives since we are all Nigerians.

This is no longer sustainable without reciprocity before it is too late as real danger looms. https://www.nairaland.com/7612989/lagos-guber-plight-igbo-law

Okay na
