My brother, you that are in the US know why the nation might be more rewarding than any Asian or even EU nation. I do not want to say much cos I know what I am saying, and you that are living there know too. Lol. Having said that, I still recommend these nations first: the US tops the list, followed by the UK and Canada. Australia would have been on my list, but how they treated those Indians students during the pandemic made me lose interest in the nation. That Naijas can even claim "the US is no man's land" is something I like about that country. And if not for the US, knowledge would be hidden. Most secrets and knowledges are declassified because of the US. Harvard Reviews, Standford materials, Yales articles, etc...all are invaluable tools. Even they make available before every other nations started doing it all research data in all departments. Their rural extension programs are solid with research papers published online. I mean, you can learn anything from anywhere with all the materials Americans put online. See eh...that nation will forever be the world champ if she continues like this.

I was having an argument with someone. And I was telling the person that in as much as Canada has so called advantage over other countries or should I say a good standard of living, it's still miles behind the USA. I don't know how to explain it, but I just feel with USA you have so much opportunities unavailable elsewhere.. For Canada to even conveniently compare with USA, Canada has to rise to the number of population USA has and still manage herself well.

You can literally be what you wanna be in the USA. I love the country jare. God bless America!!!

We don't use gas. We use kerosene. The phobia for gas is strong. I cann't forget how a homie of mine was blown to pieces few years back at a gas plant in Orji coupled with different fire outbreaks caused by gas while growing up....

Akwaibom Pastor Mr Ntia apologises to Obi Cubana over ‘harsh, unkind’ comment .


A Pentecostal pastor has publicly apologised to a popular Nigerian nightlife entrepreneur, Obinna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana over a controversial comment.

Mr Cubana, a few days ago, thrust himself, his brand, his friends, and his Oba community in Anambra State, Nigeria’s South-east, into limelight when he buried his late mum with style and glamour that seemed unheard of in any part of Nigeria.

Aside from numerous celebrities, amazing gift items, including hundreds of cows, wads of naira notes were frequently thrown into the air by Mr Cubana’s friends during the burial.

Clips of the ceremony, posted on the Internet, got Nigerians talking – several people who attacked Mr Cubana, questioned his source of money, while others defended him as “a good and generous man”.

“The place where you are standing to spray money, the road is not tarred…. Can’t you see the stupidity of illiteracy,” Ntia Ntia, the pastor of Full Life Christian Centre, Akwa Ibom State, reportedly said of Mr Cubana.

Mr Ntia’s remark attracted outrage from several Nigerians who said Mr Cubana was a better man and “more godly” than many Nigerian pastors.


‘I’m sorry!’

The pastor retracted his statement and apologised to Mr Cubana, after the backlash.

Mr Ntia said, in a clip that is being circulated on Facebook, that he immediately changed his perception about Mr Cubana after watching a BBC interview where the celebrity businessman talked about his humble beginning, his struggles, and how he made his first N1 million.

The pastor said his comments on Mr Cubana were “very harsh and unkind

“I want to say that the comments came out very wrong and prematurely. With further information, the life that the man has affected, the people that the man has lifted, the destinies that he has invested in, sincerely I want to say that it is not my intention as a preacher to preach to cause hurt or to cause pain or to preach to discredit anybody, at all.

“As a preacher, my assignment is to preach words that heal, not hurt, words that help, not harm. Therefore, in any way those comments might have caused harm or pain, I sincerely apologise.”

He also apologised to Mr Cubana’s friends and others who may have been hurt by his comment.

Mr Ntia said Mr Cubana is “a great man, with the things he has done”.

He said he regretted his comment, and that he has “100 per cent” respect for the businessman.

“We need more of such people who have a heart for others and would go to a great extent to invest in others,” he said.

Besides, Mr Ntia said his wife is from Anambra State, and, therefore, Mr Cubana is his in-law.

Way to go! Even I had to retract my words after watching that video of Obi Cubana being interviewed on BBC pidgin this morning. Yes, I am Igbo too.

God bless the young man if he is truly what he says he is...

These guys no dey tire ooo. Social media don hear nwi. Obi Cubana go need to pay the mobile networks to dash us data after this month cos him doings have finished our data, walahi talahi..

This submission from Hymar Idibie David encapsulates my thoughts.

Hi
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4384095461629254&id=100000865297273

I always knew it is more than just tithes and offerings. Winners is one church I know that knows how to take care of their pastors. They pay them well, give them cars and other allowances. Some of these sacked pastors think they can just lazy around without really doing what they came to do.

At this juncture, RCCG also needs to borrow a leaf from Winners and stop appointing pastors who are neither called nor fit for the ministry. Let's return back to the time when pastors were derived majorly as a call and not as a hobby. Let it not no longer just be all about duplicating parishes but being effective and efficient.

The church of Christ is marching on and the gates of hell cannot prevail in Jesus name, Amen!!!

Lol

Jerryherd:
Most Ipobians are stupid so I don't take offense in their ignorance and stupidity

British citizens that joined ISIL outside UK soil got full punishment but dunce Ipobians don't know that

His lawyers in UK would go to court that he was abducted in Kenya by Uhuru Kenyatta's government, and Kenya's government would give evidence why they felt he was in their country to promote terrorism... And believe me if Kenya Government opens up then he is finished completely in the UK

South East ranks among the top top most educated zones in Nigeria. South East are the most travelled in Africa not just Nigeria, which translates to better exposure and world knowledge of how things world on an international level.

From my write up above, I guess you completely understand who is truly ignorant and less exposed here?! Only if you understand what dunce, stupidity, ignorance literally means, then you will humbly crawl back to your stone age region without wasting further time.

I am an Igbo man and agree we have our weaknesses (especially that part of selling fake goods by some greedy traders, I don't support it) just like other regions. Try not to argue with emotions, it exposes you further.

Obatala7Kronos:
Hahahahaaaa! They will never be in power, at least not in Nigeria. The writings is boldly on the wall for everyone to see.

Who will vote for them? The Yorubas they they taunt day & night with derogatory names like Gbegiri & Ewedu people, Afonja, Children of the Fallen Demon?

Or the Hausa/Fulanis they disparage with comments such as Cows, Almajiris & Terrorists?

Who will even forge any alliance with them seeing how they treated Asari Dokubo after he helped smuggle Lamidi Cownu out of Nigeria through the creeks when the Nigerian Army under Buratai invaded his family house in Abia?

Now, Lamidi Cownu in his arrogance, was saying he gave 20Million Naira to Asari Dokubo; and rather than producing the evidence of transfer of money to Dokubo, iPob insulted & cursed his entire generation.

Look, nobody is intimidating the Igbos and relegating them to the background as 3rd-Class Citizens.

It is the domineering spirit & the Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) inherent in every Igbo that is responsible for your illusions & self-inflicted problems.

Look at what transpired at Ladipo a few days ago between a soldier and one of your dubious trader. He deliberately sold a defective automobile engine to the soldier and when the soldier came back for the refund of his money or exchange of the defective engine with another one, the dubious trader called his fellow dubious traders and assaulted the soldier.

The soldier came back with his colleagues and the situation degenerated into a chaos.

And what did your people peddle on the social media? Lies & Propaganda. Soldiers came to Ladipo to shoot innocent traders without any provocation. Foolish Dubious & Criminally-Minded Lots!

It is okay to cheat and swindle people but whenever the consequences of your actions return to hunt you, you will begin to dish out lies & propaganda just to attract sympathy.

You go into crime, make little money and then start jumping up & down with your gra-gra & gri-gri complex, thereby attracting the attention of the Law Enforcement Authorities.

It is that same complex or disorder that made your people buy flight tickets to Dubai, UAE to go rob more than 10 Bureau De Change outlets in broad day light.

The same way Nnamdi Kanu placed an 100 Million Naira bounty on the head of a sitting Governor (Wike) for him to be killed.

Now that the vacuous bastard is in custody; If I were that Governor (Wike) and as vengeful as I am, what stops me from bribing some high-ranking DSS Operatives to poison him to death in detention just to get even?

I sincerely pray that you people get your Biafra but trust me, there won't be any great deal of difference between your utopian Nation & Somalia.

This is why we keep saying that majority of you people lack emotional intelligence and always do things with gra-gra & gri-gri.

You blame everybody for your woes except yourselves. Just like how iPob is blaming Wike for sponsoring the abduction & rendition of Lamidi Cownu from Kenya back to Nigeria, forgetting that you already declared him as your enemy by placing a bounty on his head.

You always act before you think and leap before you look. Anyways, that is his problem.

You will go and incite trouble and then start screaming blue-murder when the consequence of your actions boomerang; And that is when you will remember and start tagging CNN, BBC, ICC, Donald Trump & Amnesty International.

Nobody hates the Igbos. It's just a simple natural law of "reaping what you sow" that is in play.

You can't sow guava and expect to reap pineapple. Never!

Ancient wisdom teaches that Action begets Reaction, Cause begets Effects and Sequence begets Consequence.

You cannot be cursing & insulting every other ethnicity in Nigeria day and night, and expect all your hateful seeds not to germinate in them.

Lastly, when the NDLEA finally bursts E-Money & Obi Cubana's Cocaine-Trafficking syndicates, woe betides any Igbo that cry witchhunt or victimization because majority of you are naturally brain-dead from birth, and that is why all the prisons in the world are populated by your people.

Good morning!

Omo see colossal painment! LMAO.. Sorry my brother

Why are Africans overating Israel??

Before Christ, Romans conquered Israel, even during his time, Israel was occupied by the Romans.

At little after Jesus the Jews made the Romans angry and they massacred the jews, drove them away from Israel. for about 2000 years from then, the jews were second class citizens every where they go.

The christians persecuted them for what they did to Chris, the Arabs were flogging their yansh any time they deemed fit. Hitler did his own. Till the Europeans decided to have mercy on them and create a state for them.

The so called 6 day war only succeeded because the Arabs just gained independence and didn't had any air force nor good military. The Europeans trained and gave Isreal weapons, especially their air force.

The only time Israel met a strong force Hizbollah backed by Iran they lost.

Israel look strong around its Arab neighbors, beyond that, its a different game entirely.
You see, the Persians or Iranians (as they are called today) aint arabs, they walk the talk, if u know what I mean...for far too long now, they've been daring Israel to stop barking and attack them as it has been saying it would for God knows how long now.

But nothing has happened, you know why? because Israel dont have the balls to fight a formidable opponent without bigdaddy USA military support. And the support is not forthcoming either, because a war with the Persians is too risky even for the US.

US can not sacrifice the lives of its citizens to go die for your "mighty" Israel over Iran. So the US snubbed Israel and chose to dialogue with the Iranians over their Nuclear program.

The only hands preventing isreal's defeat are those of America, Britain and the western world. If US remove their support, Israel is dead!!


Anybody that really thinks that God loves some other people more than he likes him or that some other people are more of Gods children than him is a sophisticated Akuya!!

Be there and foolishing yourself in foolishness. It's only a fool who doesn't know his senior. US and Israel are almost the same thing. Technically, Israel are a world power. You wan rub shoulders with the nation that has produced the highest number of Nobel Prize winners and highest number of inventors? No wahala, make we dey watch una..

Ibkhaleel:
Open Letter to Ndigbo,

My Igbo brothers, I find it necessary to send you this epistle – from a North Easterner to a South Easterner – knowing we are brothers, parented by the same nation.

Once upon a time, in the North East, a terrorist organisation came with a mantra not dissimilar to what some of you claim. The claims that your tribe is being marginalised. The terrorist organisation in the North East, too, whipped up the sentiment that a system that brooked no opposition did not recognise its creed. And so they wanted their kingdom.

But nwanne m, let us face it. From 1999 to date (22 years), you produced not less than three service chiefs. At the last count, Nigeria had over 370 tribes. You also produced a secretary to the government of the federation, Senate presidents, deputy Senate presidents, deputy speakers in the House of Representatives and chief executives of various government bodies.

All governors of your states have been Igbo. None but Igbo has represented you in the National Assembly and all ministers from your states have been you. Is there a ministry in Nigeria which an Igbo man has not headed?

Whereas other Nigerians, especially northerners, find it difficult to own land or landed properties in the South East, major viable towns in both the North and South of the country have your brothers as major landowners. A lot of big businesses and the hospitality sector are Igbo-dominated as well.
Now, what position has Ndigbo not held? Even for the president, has every tribe produced one?

Recall that you produced the nation’s vice president just nine years after the civil war.
Considering these, one is wont to ask if there is another meaning to marginalisation, perhaps, that only you know.
Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, against civilians, in pursuing political aims. United States Department of State in 2003 defined terrorism as a premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents, intended to influence an audience.

Please check the attributes of terrorism and a terrorist, you will realise that those holding your states by the jugular are terrorists.

Simple. People complied with sit-at-home orders out of fear because non-compliance can invite death. Perhaps the only difference between the leader of the terrorist organisation in your area and that of Boko Haram is that Boko Haram’s Imam is in the trenches with his troops while your Mazi is with his family ensconced in the Whiteman’s land, feeding fat at your expense. Someone referred to him as a “made-in-China Shekau”.
What happened in our land is being re-enacted in yours now. Misguided elements among you are attacking security posts, breaking jails, destroying government installations, killing notable personalities or people termed “sabo” (saboteurs).

Terror mongers first try to demoralise security agencies and intimidate those whose words or actions can awaken the people. It happened to us in the North East.
And so our elders, out of fear for their lives, even called on the federal government to “leave us alone with our sons”. A time comes in the phase of terrorist acts when a government cannot protect the citizenry. Sometimes, people live or die as dictated by terrorists.
After shocking the security agencies into timorousness and inertia, the terrorists would turn on the civilian population that out of fear supported them at some point.
But the security agencies of a nation are not about an individual. Were they about that, then nations would not outlive the active lifespan of a human being. Security agencies are machines in motion individuals cannot halt. They are resilient, redoubtable, able to absorb shock, and they only know the nation. Chief among them is the military. The military, the world over, knows only their nation and they can do anything required for its survival. Thus a Musa in uniform will not hesitate to shoot an Ibrahim who has risen against the state. Do not then be surprised, my brother, if an Ikechukwu in the uniform of the Nigerian military shoots an Ogbonna who carries another flag other than the Green, White, Green.
And the military, as we found out in the North East, my dear brethren, treats lands they enter to flush terrorists as captured territory and the people as conquered subjects.

Ah, well, you may not believe because you have what the North East lack – a propaganda machine – and so you think yours will be different. Forget rabble-rousing journalists and bloggers and social media influencers with you who would want to push the narrative of the “unknown gunmen” (clandestine agents) or shout to the high heavens of being victimised. That never helps in such situations. In most civil wars, crushed sides almost always win propagandas. Please, try to study history, my brothers.
But anybody who can rejoice, hail and defend the carnage on innocent civilians or destruction of public property by “unknown gunmen” has lost the legitimacy to be called human. He too can kill given the slightest opportunity. His hidden name is “murderer”.

Anyone trying to divert attention from actual perpetrators of dastardly acts, as in the killing of Ahmed Gulak by the terrorists, thinks everyone is as foolish as them.
These so-called propagandists who are not on the ground in your land, but live in other Nigerian major cities are quick, for instance, to attribute every crime on earth to their bogeyman, the Fulani, but dance around when their terrorists commit heinous crimes. These are people who will be “missing in action” when the army comes calling on your towns and villages to deal with the bloodsuckers masquerading as freedom fighters.
So I pen down this epistle for you. I want you to know that when the military went into our North-East towns to flush out the terrorists, we had checkpoints a few kilometres from one another. You have the luxury of riding on Okada now and the freedom to stay out at night. Now we do not have Okada and when it started, we must be home by 4 pm. When we come out the next morning at 6 am, we must get off the Okada or vehicle carrying us at every checkpoint and pass it with hands in the air in the manner of surrender. We were a conquered people, after all.
Among any occupying force, there are always the unscrupulous – those that view the conquered people as ATMs, commandeer movable assets, regard their women as fair game and prey even on older mothers. A soldier denied family life for long may not bat an eyelid playing catchup with someone’s grandmother.
Though things are now getting better for us, we still do not have the sort of nightlife we used to have. Okada is no more. Though there are no such checkpoints again, we still have not forgotten the collateral damage that has taken from us some loved ones forever.
An occupying force out to flush out terrorists can break into any house. They do not knock and wait to be invited. They will ask all those in the household to lie down on their stomachs or face the sun. Youths can be killed on mere suspicion, women and girls violated and the dignity of parents torn in the eyes of their children. Parents will see their sons dragged off, never to be seen again.
An occupying force is always the law; seldom are they called to account. Even the armies of the so-called civilised countries have their vandals, not to talk of an African force that knows you for who and what you are.
When it became too much for us in the North East, some of our brave youths took it upon themselves to flush out the troublemakers from our midst so that we would know peace once again. And so the civilian joint task force, CJTF, through the courage of just one youth, was born. That always happens in such situations.
To the gullible youth that lends themselves to being used, the euphoria and sexiness of being called an unknown gunman and the surge of adrenaline while holding the gun can go to the head, but before long, other youths will join forces with the forces of good to hunt you down because, at the end of it all, people want peace and they will remove anyone making peace impossible.
Dear brothers and sisters, no nation just dissolves. And no leader of a nation will want history to record that his nation dissolved on his watch. We should not allow people leaving outside the theatre to prod us on a journey of no return while they are miles away, living in serenity with their families.

Anybody telling you US, UN, Israel will run to your defence is a bloody liar and your worst enemy.
I want to believe this epistle may shed light on the path some of your people want to take. My brothers, you have done marvellously well to pick yourselves up from the ashes of that terrible war 51 years ago. Do not allow power mongers to reverse all your gains by leading you by the nose into a cul-de-sac. A word, they say, is enough for the wise.

You really have time. Seems you don't know the Igbo very well. Igbos didn't just wake up one day and decided to want to walk away from Nigeria. Do you understand how it hurts to be held back by people you totally have nothing in common
with? An Igbo man has nothing in common with the Hausa-Fulanis in the area of religion, cultures, traditions, values etc. We already have taken lots of time ti think about the future of our unborn before deciding to want to walk away, so your advice is late. And mind you, what we see lying down, you do not see it even though you stand on the top of Zuma Rock! Advising us is funny, cos the North always have other motives when they do this!! Taqqiya is real!!

All you wrote about Boko Haram bla bla are totally different from our own ideology. We don't shed human lives for fun. Our leaders are international and well travelled and well read men who know international laws and respect the rights and sanctity of human lives in tandem with 21st century. We exist all over the world, more exposed than many parts of Nigeria including the North. We see how things are done firsthand abroad and Nigeria is miles behind in stone age.
Your country Nigeria lacks sincerity and true brotherliness. Too bad all you envisage cann't happen here. Even the South West and other regions have woken up. So it's not just us now.

If you think the world starts and ends in Nigeria, then you are having a laugh. Try and read, follow up as well as watch videos about IPOB to really understand why IPOB is the largest freedom fighting movement in the world. We will bring the fight to Nigeria in angles you never dreamt off. Everything is not just muscle and brute force, this is 21st century. I cann't tell you more than this.

Igbos know where to get their advice (s) if and when they need it. Thank you!!!

Wether you believe in it or not. , events from 2023 will surely force you to vomit the presidency! All these sma sma na initial gra gra. Nobody is begging you to hand over. You will do so by yourself to survive the heat that will follow... Abacha insisted on retaining power in the 90s, the same way you guys are doing today. In the end, it was your elites that conspired to eliminate him so you can hand over to Obasanjo and save yourselves... Power and presidency is not your birthright! Going forward, that presidency will be so hot in your hands post 2023 that you will beg to surrender that to get some air..

Word! Your response is very apt. Dunno why the north so much like to shift the goal post..

NEWSOpen grazing ban: There’ll be no peace – Fulani group warns Southern govsPublished on July 12, 2021By Seun Opejobi


A Fulani group, Gan Allah Fulani Development Association, GAFDAN, has warned against the resolution of Southern governors to ban open grazing.


GAFDAN said a ban on open grazing would lead to a breakdown of peace between Northerners and Southerners.

The group insisted that the decision of the governors would groom hatred between Southerners and Northerners.

Southern governors under the umbrella of the Southern Governors’ Forum, SGF, had agreed to ban open grazing in their region.

During their meeting in Lagos State, the governors agreed that the ban would take effect from September 1.

However, GAFDAN’s National Secretary, Ibrahim Abdullahi, described the resolution as unfortunate and capable of affecting Nigeria’s unity.


Abdullahi said the resolution was impossible because they have not made an alternative plan for herders.

According to Abdullahi: “If you stop open grazing in the South, you are simply saying that those people should move to the North or they should move to other parts of the country. What happens if those in the North also ask the Southerners to leave?

“Are we promoting unity or hatred? What the governors are saying is practically impossible and it does not promote the unity of this country.

“You don’t stop people’s means of living and expect peace to reign. So, the implication is that the unity of Nigeria is going to be in question.


“You don’t expect those that will be affected to return to the North and live in peace with people from the South living in the North”.

If Southern Governors want to blackmail the North, they may lose the presidency – Miyetti Allah
