Only God knows why Nigerians love parties especially wedding so much. Personally, it's less than 50k. Just a 20 guest wedding.

my man, if u invite 20...pple go dey vex for you for road say u no invite them. Africa creating difficulty upandan.

MicroBox:
April 22 remains a nightmare until when it's over..
My gal is not co-operating with me at all,keep inviting family and friends both offline and online it's like she don't understand that there is marriage after wedding.
She's busy choosing this and that while I m having difficult time sleeping and eating even when the food is served.

Heyy...HBP is warming up here....keep talking to her about the life after wedding. I thank God for my wife oo, she understood that part better than me

nnamdibig:
I budgeted 800k for my wedding but ended up spending 1.2
It's very difficult to spend exactly what you budgeted.
If you want to spend 500k start planning with 200-300k if you want to spend 1M, start planning with 700k.
My opinion thou

I dey tell u, I budget 600k...ended up spending 1m or more minus trad. We Nigerians make life difficult for ourselves sha. Oyibo no dey waste money for wedding.

Recently I got into a fight with my elder brother..nd I broke his nose..it was a very bad thing for me ..but its jst d end product of wat my dad has been planting inside of me

It all started THUS

My dad is a master comparer ..wen we wer younger ...
he wuld compare us (me nd my brothers) to anyone he deems fit even if dat someone is worst Dan us..

.comparisons like

*--.why are we not leading d youth choir in our church like d pastor's son
*--why can't i take d first position in my class like Camoru Omo Iya alata
*-- why cant I win d scholarship like lagbaja even if my school is not offering any

I could remember last two years..a relative came visiting..dis guy recently came back from Obodo oyibo..nd he was forming all single nd holy..

here comes my dad again..comparing us to him..saying d guy has gone to a foreign land nd he was successful all because he was holy nd he abstained from women..

nd all we do here is think and gist about women(we are 6 boys)..we didn't take it lightly wit him..but we let it slide.

.only to get invited to a party by dis holy obodo oyibo guy..nd we met him rocking d biggest ukwu we've ever seen..Chai!!..God punish devil

Back to my main reason for writing dis..
My dad ridiculed me so much with my brothers success.. he wuld use every opportunity to compare me nd him

my brother is a graduate nd works for a big tech company.. while i'm still a 300level student

The comparison got so bad I started hating my brother..not because he's already successful Dan me...but my dad rubs it on my face always..like I should jst graduate sharp sharp nd start working

long story short.... we fought nd I broke his nose
NOW MY QUESTION IS
I know my dad wants to motivate us with d comparisons
But is it ideal to motivate someone( brother.. friend..anyone) by comparing him to another person..

nd if ur a victim like me..talk ur story

U dey dull na, why u no compare the old man with his mates wey be ministers and presidents.

guychidile:
they crucified Jesus out if jealousy ..

thats just it...and Jesus allowed it bc it was time to die.

StainlessH:
So that guy working around there is feeling like what?
I can do better than him.
So why did they design it to move in such directions? So make it fly faster or to show us they can do it?
Abeg I dey come.

Was designed for thrust...

I watched the movie today and I asked, were those guys actually looking for Jesus? They acted like they dont know him but they heard he is claiming king in the Jew and performing signs. Now, he came to there land to also destroy the culture. Like they were looking for him before Judas collect money come tell them where Jesus dey thinking Jesus will still disappear or use his power. Peter denied Jesus when he discovered how his master was been rubbished, he was afraid at that point that Jesus was too weak to be called a master and he denied him. Jesus knew he would die but he want some people to be responsible for his death and those guys are the antichrist, even till today.

WWIII

Brace yourselves

We have awka made here...we are ready for wwiii

China heading to becoming world giant, serious business men. Wont be suprised to see CR7 and Messi in chinese premier league.

Aufbauh:
This woman deserves a memorial for her primitive stealing and mindless evil done to the country.

In fact her case should be treated like someone who commit a treasonable felony.
I now understand better why Dasuki was still held in custody as a security threat.

Imagine what $50m can do for Nigeria and Nigerians. This could have changed the face of her community for good.

My problem now is, all these money that are been recovered are relooted. Why not just take this money and do all the south east federal roads...or even install one Electric plant and name it NNPC loot generating plant.

Blissquare:
Thanks for the education. If I am seperated from my first husband because of physical and emotional abuse that I can prove, does he hav a right to remarry after 3yrs? He made me leave but I don't want him to remarry.

Then go back to him or allow him to remarry. If he said he is done with you, then dust ur ass, do the legal part and move on. If you go complicate ur life with babalawo or mushroom churches, na you know oo

dinocy:
why raise a structure to cover your loot knowing very well that you mass won't have access to it?

so if its now stored in croatia, u will have access right?

Let the governors loot and erect the tallest tower in Nigeria...i will be happy.

seguno2:
What do you mean?
Do you compare yourself with the WORST people in life?
Which sensible person does that?

One South south Governor did it and was caught. There are many of them that still do it but yet to be caught.

deathwing:
No Sir. This means you and your children's money will be bused to fix the same thing and continue to be embezzled. It is this ít is better than nothing' attitude that make the politicians play with our heads during election campaign

its better to make use of the little you have. You want the state to be like Germany but ordinary Keke maruwa, we cant produce.

Nwachineke1980:
Imo State University (IMSU) is state owned. What is Imo state doing with 2 universities? Why not make IMSU a world class university?Okorocha should stop all this white elephant projects.

Make it world class, another govt will come back and ruin it. Govt own properties in Nigeria does not work.

obailala:
You are absolutely right, the real grouse against Rochas is that he joined APC and openly supported Buhari over GEJ; a decision which didnt go down well with many Igbos.

When it comes to performance, anyone who says Rochas isn't working is either lying to himself or is just plain ignorant; most people fall in the 'ignorant' category though cos they've never even been to the state but just base their judgement on the nonsense they read online from haters. Majority of the vocal haters aren't even from Imo state. As far as Imo state is concerned, Rochas' performance even in his first tenure trumps Udenwa and Ohakim (and even Tanko Zubairu and co) put together.

The only problem with Rochas may be that he talks too much and the quality of his projects are really suspect (China roads). Besides that, anyone who claims Rochas isn't working (especially when compared with his peers(past and present)) is a clown.

His "Private University"

I wish we could see the details of the accounts that funded this project. For transparency purposes.

But in Nigeria, anything can happen. We only respect/worship money and power.

Why didn't he build this after leaving office?

Anyway, na "smart guy". He don invest in his retirement money.

Someday in the future, all these projects will be reclaimed by NIGERIA.

Yep...he knows what is in Nigeria belongs to Nigeria. If he wants to loot, he will park the money for private jet commot.

chigoizie7:
The question is, can imo state government under Rochas and after rochas fund the two universities? Imsu and this very university? Building is one thing, funding and maintenance is another thing. When u build and can't maintain, that's a waste.



I am in ebonyi state, they have so many government structures but many of them are wasting and being dilapidated.

Govt own properties in Nigeria does not work...hence the decision to privatise that one.

sanpipita:
Lol Rocha's has used IMO state resources to build a university for himself and you want people to hail him, you are mad

Yea...it is better done here than doing it in London. Most of your governors have private Unis abroad..thats senseless and crime.

deathwing:
If you've ever been to Imo. youll know there is always something substandard about everything Rochas builds.

It's like he's just building in order to gather acclaim. His bridges begin to crumble and flake off within months, the roads develop potholes quickly, the government centres he builds are of low quality and this nigga has a problem of flooring the compound of his structures.
He just prefers to leave them as earth. So you'll see a new structure in imo state already in use, but it's surrounded by grass because nothing was paved or cemented outside. Imo state just looks like an old town even while new things are still being built. Disheartening. The next government will rebuild and regain another round of applause.

better little than nothing...

donfemo:
Someone builds a university and we say he is working. It was built with public funds, tax payers money. It is expected of him.

Some will still collect your tax and go party in London and even spray Dollars and even enter jail and even still use your tax money bail themselves. Rochas use am dey raise structures in his land...kudos to him.

Palm sunday University.... Just 3 buildings, taking the pix from different direction... Poor structural design... Check the stairway to comfirm that...

Better little than nothing...

dinocy:
e good o, but why all this university when we nor go fit pay their fees, ask people for edo about osho. university.

Instead of dumping the money ins switzerland...raise a structure in your land.

drnoel:
Thank you very much. Such funds was available. Yet IMSU was allowed to depreciate. He is owing workers and pensioners years of salary. He should be flogged.

Imsu never appreciated not to talk of depreciating.

Amarabae:
Rochas okorocha is not the only Igbo politician in APC, ogbonnaya onu,ngige,ken nnamani etc are in APC but are respected.
Okorocha love to throw his tribe under the bus just to please his northern lovers and appear as a good nigerian.
thats one con about him.

well, for now I am here to defend Rochas. I want him to be the next president of Nigeria and if I am in his shoe, I will do the same. You cannot be the president of Nigeria without the North. Simple fact.

alizma:
I have said it severally, though I am not an igbo, the only crime Rochas committed against his people is that he is a member of a party they don't like.
I was there as resident during the reign of Udenwa and Ohakim, I was there throughout Rochas first tenure and I still visit the state till this days. Rochas is working.
an imolite is happily tell you to come to his state and see good things, it is because Rochas has transformed the state capital.
Rochas is the only governor of that state apart from Sir Mbakwe that has at least a physical, touchable project in all the local government.

Point...the fact is you cant satisfy a black man. That man has done more than every other governor. It is better to suffer for a while and enjoy forever. Imolites thinks the hardship and recession is caused by Rochas hence the hatred. Hardship is everywhere in Nigeria and Imo have a governor who has managed the little resources though at the expence of civil servants and tax on commercial drivers which is a normal way every country and state in Europe operates to develope the state to a standard. Some say he parks the money and enrich himself, who does not do that? To me God fatherism and share the money have distroyed Nigeria to a fault. Let us try 'anarchy abi military system govt. Thats how the man is currently ruling the state and to me, I am seeing results.

And the custom officers would sell off the rice at auction prices and pocket the money...
Both the importers and the custom officers are all in the same game...

Simple...the importer did not settle the customs thats all.
