nairalanda1:
It is what it is. That is Nigeria for you.

I asked you a question and you are telling me that's Nigeria for me how? Answer my question

nairalanda1:
Nigeria's reserves are very small.

Our debt outweighs it.

By rights, if we were not a resource dependent economy, we should have a reserve of something like 400 trillion naira by the by.

I'm not joking. I'm.just tired your government and the obidients and the atiku geng and even the secessionists are all so.obsessed with oil money..

Manufactured goods and services

What do you mean?

Love800:
I nor understand your comment!

Bianca ojukwu is in her 50s not Genevieve

Love800:
You mean to say 51! My mum says both of dem are age-mates. How come!

Genevieve is not bianca

Majesty33:
Genevieve has been 46 years all this while, a lady I watched as a teenager. I wonder what they think when they confidently tell these liess? Maybe they just decided to take this risk of lying such lie due their own foolishness.

She was a teenager when she started acting so you should be almost same age as her

AllBlack:
If chidimma is 34 then Tinubu is 24

Wizkid is 34 too same age davido is 32 , Burna boy is 33

sleek214:
Not true... You can buy in the South South and South West But Can't buy in the South East

They can't buy in south east cause we give them for free , there are many Hausa communities in south east with northerners living on lands they didn't pay for

dettolgel:
It is rampant in the east. [s]They are built on the following premise: a false belief that it brings development much faster than having just one community. Forgetting that allocation is done on local government level.
Two everyone wants power as such the more the community is split the easier it is for those power hungry vermins to get their ego massage.[/s]

However, what they failed to understand is that this is the same classic method the British used to weaken Africa by splitting people of the same origin into smaller units. Giving them the false idea that they are different so instead of being one big force to reckon with they are spread thin, into smaller and easy to manipulate unit. Just the way Kano emirate was split for political reasons. I really don't know the day Igbo people will learn.

You are just giving analysis on people and culture you don't understand, go and study the igbo culture and how they lived many centuries before the white man came

No Ghanian artist ?

Gbadugbakun:
It's a useless feature because users don't communicate like Facebook or Twitter where they post directly on your thread.

Nairaland is a forum were people post randomly. Blocking someone is useless because you'll still come across their posts on random threads.

He clearly said if you block someone you won't see the person you blocked and the person will not see you for a week

MorataFC:
Ghen-gen
Blocking them hides their posts from us, making it hard to know their stance and making it impossible to correct them.
I would prefer a 'dislike' button to their posts over blocking, so we can see their views and respond accordingly.

Does a dislike button stops someone from harassing you?

2cribz:
Shameless man. He became poor and broke. Don't be shocked to see this bald head mumu washing plates and her undies. Woman wrapper .

What is your definition of poor?

Goo0dHardDick:
Damn!

Ain't no fan of religion but where's Arinze? The one from Onitsha and currently 92?

He is too old

aswani:
And I have told you how to find the (comprehensive) information you need.

Benin being ruled by an Ọba doesn't translate to Benin coming from Ìfẹ́.

You can't be ruled by a foreign king if you don't belong there

UKEMY:
Okay
Why didn't Benin Kingdom invaded and spread beyond present day Edo state?
I believe the Benin Empire wasn't interested in taking territories but rather getting tributes

Almost the whole of present day Niger delta was under Benin empire by conquest that's why almost all the clans and tribes in the Niger delta can not tell their history without mentioning Benin, from agbor , to ika , to ikwerre , to Onitsha etc all these clans and tribes paid homage to Benin kings cause they were conquered by Benin at some point

aswani:
Google Oranmiyan and/or Ekhaladeran.

Benin peopoe are not from Ifè.

I asked you a simple question why is the benin king called oba?

aswani:
I have no issues with Ìgbànke being Ndigbo, in fact I am happy for them. I am more concerned about you saying Benin people came from Ife and at least letting us know where the information came from.

Why is a benin king oba?

SmartyPants:
We see you. We know what you are. You are waating your time.

Well you bini's are getting exposed, those people you conquered and imposed your kings on are fighting back now, the oba of Benin dethroned an igbanke king like he owns igbanke

aswani:
Please I am interested in this information, where can I find out more about it?

Also, you are best adviced to avoid the drunkard that told you that story, or at least speak to them when they are sober.

Go and read your history, igbankes are ika's , ika's are a subgroup of igbos, igbos are of nri kingdom, nri was established in the 9th century while benin was established in the 14th century that's like 500 years older than benin

SmartyPants:
And Igbos are indigenous to which region? Im just glad you people are revealing your agenda now so that everyone can know where we all stand.

Igbos are indigenous to east and west of the Niger river

SmartyPants:
And then the visitors multiplied while the original settlers stayed so few?

Drinking alcohol first thing in the morning will impair your reasoning.

Benin is not bigger than igbankes the igbankes are a clan of the ika's the ika's are a subgroup of the igbos

UKEMY:
What if the presently day igbanke was given to igbo's during slave trade or civil war.
allow the igbanke people to live their life

Benin people are invaders , they invaded little clans and tribes conquered them and imposed their kings on them, if you read the history of every clan or minority tribe that was once under Benin kingdom their history starts with they running away from the oba of Benin

yarimo:
Officially invited, unlike one agulu boy that rush to visit without invitation

Officially invited by who exactly?


And why go to a man's funeral to do eye service when he never cared to meet him when he was alive

SmartyPants:
Who are you to speak for Edo people??

Igbanke's came as visitors and they are free to go back where they came from.

Benin kingdom is not older than igbankes you people migrated from ife to meet them there

AmazingELixir:


Have the NBA refunded Rivers state money..??

River state should go to court

SoftSport:
I get what Pastor Ibiyeomie means. 3 John 1:2 says, “I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health.” Jesus wants us to grow, not stay poor forever, some people just don’t like hearing the hard truth. If you don’t agree, no wahala, but don’t twist his words just to sound deep.

Was Jesus rich ? Why was he the son of a carpenter?

Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God" (Luke 6:20)

"The poor you will always have with you": (Matthew 26:11)
.
"Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me": (Luke 18:22)

Peacecore:
Then stop complaining of whatever anyone does and just watch.

Go ahead with your complains let me go with mine

Peacecore:
That means we should continue playing politics with the lives of the innocent citizens nah

That's exactly what you-all are doing

Peacecore:
Are you not an advocate of good governance anymore? She he continue with Wike's path because nothing was done when he did the same?

Wike is not dead he is still alive just cause he is no longer the governor doesn't mean the things he did as a governor has been forgiven if you all really want equal justice Start with wike , don't jump from 1 to 2 start with 1 first

Celestialsword:
I think what Donald Trump is trying to do to stop unnecessary expenditure.

Having embassy in some countries is not economically viable to America instead they prefer to maintain consulate or do away with it entirely

This is what a country like Nigeria should do,
Nigeria is struggling to maintain some embassies in some countries where they don't have any economic or business ties.

Who knows trump is planning to change America to authoritarian dictatorship rule so he can hold on to power as long as he wants he might want to isolate America from all it's allies so nobody will intervene when that happens
