Excuse, excuse, and more excuse. The City Boy is clever: he would defeat the "saboteurs."

The jet-age swept it away.

"Beliefs and perseverance" with wrongheaded actions will never bring development.

There is no correlation or connection in the story of how the man caused your misfortunes. It was just an imagination of an overly religious mind, fueled by headswing superstitious beliefs. Bad things happen to both the good and the bad.

So he has finally succumbed

He has to. Jews are powerful lots.

Because he is to become the greatest beneficiary if Rivers becomes APC.

In the warped minds of these "investigators," Emefiele was the president, while Buhari was the hapless and helpless CBN governor.

This is what they say everytime to divert attention from their misrule. Many people, especially pastors, said the same thing during the locust years of the dullard called Buhari.

We know it's all media trial. They can't touch the planners of the naira design policy.

Yes, because the same people are in power with the same mentality.

Nothing strange. Women and selfishness are five and six.

By dumping his arse.

When is she receiving the Emefiele treatment?

The caption of the thread is markedly different from it's content. This man's words were carefully couched in the form of predictions.

What of fathom "Air Nigeria?"

I'm struggling to see the correlation between body count and work.

You said you are done with him, slet it be so. Why areyvyou regreingt your decision?

Insist on apology and you would get it.

This story sef! Oga and madam na good match.

Your wife and others caused this mess for you. But you enabled it. She is not going anywhere after answering "Mrs," after all, it's in richer or poorer till death do you guys apart. Continue your job hunting.

Yes, Kemi Adeosun, the celebrated NYSC certificate forger did.

GlocusDan:
Politics is a dirty game. No permanent friends, no permanent enemies.

But permanent service to the people. An ideal you can't conceive due to years of miseducation by Nigeria's perverse polithievcians.

You said bombed by Buhari? Is Tinubu Buhari? Is he from the north? Or do you northern elites care about their people's lives?

Matured advice to do what? That your wife has not commenced emotional cheating? Oga, it's only a matter of time before she warms her colleague's bed. Do something now!

Let Tinubu expose as well. To expose easy?

SSFeedsNigeria:
I once saw data from the 1960’s that showed how the old Eastern region (comprising the entire SE with Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River) was the fastest growing economy in Nigeria, and among the fastest in the world. The region was registering new businesses far more than Western and northern regions combined! Then the civil war happened in 1967-70 and that momentum was lost. The region turned into a sorry state. New centers of growth and investments shifted to Lagos/Oyo and Kano/Kaduna axis.

Infrastructure in the East decayed. Investments fled the region. Even Igbos themselves abandoned their region and instead chose to invest in the new centers of growth outside their region. Onitsha deterioted. Aba decayed. Enugu, Owerri, Nnewi, Awka, Umuahia, Abakilike etc. became glorified villages. People looked down on those that choose to remain in the East as unambitious people who don’t want to make it big in life.

From the 1980’s, 1990’s and up to early 2000’s there were constant religious riots in the North, and each time it occurred, Igbos and their investments became targets. As a result, calls for “aku ruo ulo” which loosely means “bring your investments home” became rife but unfortunately, the East was still in a very bad shape. This pushed Igbos to start making demands from their governors on infrastructure improvements. Having realized that North was no longer safe for them and their investments, Igbos began to move massively into Lagos & Abuja in the interim, along with their investments. Not long after, the aku ruo ulo calls began to yield dividends as Igbo investments began to trickle into their region.

As Igbo population & assets in Lagos spiked, Yorubas began to get uncomfortable. Then 2023 election happened & they weaponized tribalism. Several Igbo dominated markets got burnt. It was followed by the demolition of houses and plazas in Igbo dominated areas too. Just like North in the previous years, Igbos also realized that Lagos isn’t safe for them and their investments too.

Almost same situation that occurred in the North in the years prior to 2000, is now occurring in the West. The period Igbos began to abandon North coincided with its economic collapse. I’m not saying that North collapsed economically because Igbos abandoned it but several other factors added to it.

Now, calls for Igbos to divest away from Lagos region is happening at a period foreign investors are also abandoning the region. Lagos/SW loss now becomes SE gain as investments are now pouring into the East in an unprecedented manner. What makes it more remarkable is that SE is rising when other regions are stagnating or even regressing.

Just like in the 1960’s when the civil war truncated the rise of the East, Igbos should avoid history repeating itself. You can make IPOB or ESN your pressure group but never escalate things to unmanageable crises level.

Another good thing is that Nigeria is finally being restructured without many being aware. The North may or may not be aware that Nigeria is being restructured against their age long hindrance to it. However, there is little or nothing they can do to stop it. Fuel subsidy removal, unbundling of power generation and distribution, removal of certain things from the exclusive list etc are restructuring that will make regions grow at their own pace. This is the opportunity Igbos need to roar back like the Asian Tigers and it is gratifying to note that the prognosis indicate positive signs. Aba, Onitsha and Nnewi are back on track. SME’s and manufacturing in the SE is thriving once again.

Unfortunately for the northern region, they failed to invest in Human Resources. If Tinubu sustains the covert restructuring, the region is likely to collapse further without new investments and rising insecurity. With foreign investors also fleeing Lagos region & Igbos doing same, the SE is now poised to become the new axis of growth in Nigeria. Also, with AFTCA now in place, Lagos no longer has locational advantage like in the past, when ECOWAS was the trading region. Now, the entire Africa is, and SE is well positioned between West and Central Africa.

Igbos can truly achieve their mission even within a dysfunctional BUT DECENTRALIZED Nigeria.

This one love Igbo more than they love themselves. See wahala o!

Wike didn't surrender his. Why would you? Fight on. You are the Governor.

Hello,
I am writing to provide some clarifications following our earlier discussion under the mentioned headings. It has become necessary to address certain points for better understanding.

I've noticed some surprising comments, and I believe it might be attributed to cultural differences. I want to emphasize that I opened this account upon the request of a Nigerian friend who encouraged me to share my story.

My primary concern is the timing of the information about the occasion for which my spouse has been making preparations. The issue is not about mistrusting my brother; rather, it's about my spouse not sharing this information earlier.

The wedding she is attending is that of her old classmate's younger sister, a man whose name has been rarely mentioned in the ten years of our marriage. My surprise stems from the sudden revelation of her involvement in this event just a few days before the ceremony, despite the extensive preparations leading up to it. Like I said, I think she only mention the guy’s name just once when the guy had an accident. She just mentioned the accident and that was all.

Moreover, when she was even telling me of embarking on the journey, she just only said that she was attending a friend’s wedding without further details or explanation. She was merely informing me about it, because she already made all the arrangement to attend the wedding and has been discussing the issue with this same class mates for over 4 months without ever mentioning it to me, just only to inform me days to the occasion.

I hope these clarifications shed light on the specific points of concern. I appreciate your time.

Nawa o. A married woman mentioning the name of a male she is not related to speaks volume.

What you now is manage not marriage

A reward for a loyal boy.
