Let me reach there first and experience the lonliness ur are talking about...

You know that the expectation going abroad is great that when you go and see it is not that rosy, you can't project it to your people down home

Why?

Because the expectation is high and no one will ever agree that you are having it tough. So most times what you see people enjoying and all that is them trying to project something to you down home. It's very tough in western world. You have all the basics like water,light, welfare etc and you can make some money and send home

But what many can't understand is lifestyle is totally different. I can relate to him not being able to talk to anyone. They are very independent here and lack community life. That's why they don't play with mental health. The whole system fu*ks up some individual head. Also hardship is of another form that you can't relate until you see it. The normal hardship will relate to is being not able to eat well, having no basic amenities etc. But in the western world they do have it but in another form not what you can relate to

This is in no way to discourag your pursuit of the greener pastures but sometimes it is good to have a better context of all these so that you won't come and start writing epistle like the OP or me...it is a different world out here but still pursue your dreams and know that you can never replace home

Let's trade places . You will be fine.

In this life, knowing what you want, why you want it, is very essential. One has to live above the noise and know why you are doing what you are doing.

But OP, some people are enjoying this abroad you are complaining about, such is life. What works for one may not work for the other.

What am I saying sef, long story short, know what you want, why you want it and why you are doing what you are doing, avoid the crowd mentality or the 'everybody is doing it' thingy.

Banhammy717:
Nobody hates Igbo people, but Igbo people hates other tribes.

In Igbo land, they hardly accommodate strangers to build houses or company or place of worship. It's Igbo land for mainly Igbos.

In Hausa or Yoruba land, you will see houses, companies, churches and mosques being owned by Igbos, but reverse is the case in Igbo land.

In 1999 when Obasanjo and PDP zoned Senate Presidency to South East, just for Igbos to produce one candidate for that post, they messed everything up, one Igbo will petition another Igbo, started washing their dirty linens outside.
They hate themselves, at the end of the day, 6 Igbos occupied a seat meant for one Igbo. No decorum

Prior to 2015 general elections, APC zoned Senate Presidency to South East, the seat is meant for two term senator, Ngige was the only qualified senator from Igbo land, due to hatred Igbos have for themselves, they made sure Senator Chris Ngige did not secure return ticket to the Senate, talkless of becoming Senate President.

Now, charity begins at home, how do you interpret Governor Soludo's stand against Peter Obi?. He's vowed to work against Peter Obi even in Anambra, Obi's state.

Nobody hates Igbo, but themselves.

Now everyone have abandoned Ekweremadu, BUT still shows support for IPOB and unknown gunmen, killing their own brothers.

I think Igbos need attitude change.

It's just my personal opinion in response to your question.

it is only the igbo man that have had an orchestrated killing done against him twice in history by name pogrom. Also the civil war by the number of people killed of just 1 ethnicity passes as genocide under normal UN conventions

History showed that Igbos suffered hatred and still till this day

Why is it that the only thing use to discredit Obi till today is his ethnicity

Why should an Igbo man prove his patriotism more compared to another person. A case of "your sins haven't yet being forgiven", the sins of the war...Right ?

You talk of Ekweremadu. Of what support do you want from the Igbos at a criminal case which he is facing

I think one thing with the Igbos is their republican nature that was well documented from the colonial time. Being a bit stubborn and hard to control. The ideology that every man is a king of his household and the general saying that the igbos don't have a king. It brings about this so called division you might see

I will say it has a positive and negative consequence. The republican nature allows every man to have an opinion and live free. But when it comes to politics it becomes difficult as everyone wants to have a voice. Probably that's why many say the Igbos tend to be politically naive, it might just be due to their natural behavior of independent thinking and having opinions

You might look at it in different angles

Truthisunique2:
when time reach for Igbo to be president na Nigerians go choose the Igbo man

Soludo, umahi, the ex CBN presidential candidate are all good

Not Igbo giving us Biafra apologist

It's obvious even the whole South isn't on this obi page with the sham gathering in oyo

why call names that only speak your language and subscribe to your sentiments

Mind you Umahi don't even have that regional support but because he is in Apc you like him

Same as Soludo but because he spoke against Obi so you like him

Probably you forgot to add Orji and Nnamani

Lol

It's funny that nothing bad was said about Obi prior to contesting for president until he decided to contest. His only crime and what is used against him is his ethnicity as an Igbo person

And for Biafra, it is a story told my parents to all Igbo children. They grew up understanding the horrors of the war. That's why it is an ideology and a long agitation. Ask the Soludo or Umahi in a private setting and you will see that fundamental Biafra sentiment.

You might not understand because you are not from the ethnic group. Even Tinubu said he will sit down with the agitators which is not different from Obi stance

You might confuse yourself with Biafra ideology and the whole ipob and UGM incidences happening in the SE but it is a bit complex and just need someone with political will to sort out the mess

An Assassin in Ibadan would hold a gun not a dagger

because ?

It is easy to snap in a mobile you know without being identified

ATLIEN2027:
Unnecessary propaganda from the crew of the pandora pathological liar Obi tuary. Scamming three gullible since 1967.

prove it is propaganda

But if it was your candidate it won't be propaganda

When will we be humans for once and drop our sentiments

You even have to make it about ethnicity

Moh247:




Obi and drama


Nollywood social media President

Attention LovePeddler


.

no everything is sentiment. If the allegation is true that this man really wanted to harm him what do you have to say ?

BATified2023:
u know the place is close to dugbe where they sell their fake products so expect them dere

na so una hate igbo people ?

you guyz make it look criminal for igbos to take part actively in this election

My aunt wants to send me $700
She is,asking for my PayPal and I told her that Nigeria cant recieve money from PayPal.

Please apart from western union
Which other way can I recieve money from USA??

use worldremit

obi4eze:
I thought they were planning legal action against him. Have they refuted everything he said against them?

they are too big to do that

They did the best any club would do. Just terminate contract

Realists:
What an hypocrite, What of the cold blooded murder of Sir AT Balewa, what of the cold blooded murder of Sir Ahmadu Bello and Akintola ?, When will their family get justice?, The Igbo conspirators want the world to forget about them, forgetting that KARMA has the address of each one of them with their family names.
You can't murder a nation leader and think your own leaders will prosper and lead you to promise land, just like they murdered the greatest Nigeria & Northern leaders in 1966, so also shall their leaders be murdered till the end of time. Every life matters.

it has being debunked severally that it was no igbo coup and the so-called igbo coup failed in the eastern zone who was commanded by then who ? Ojukwu

The real hate was the systematic killing of igbos across the North called the pogrom. It happened twice and the Igbos knew for sure they have to go back home

You are talking of northern leaders that were killed during a coup by military officers to justify systematic killing of innocent people because of their tribes which resulted to the death of 3 million igbos which till date will be regarded as a genocide

It is their blood that will get back to you for their is Karma. The blood of the northern leaders and others are in the hands on the coup plotters but the blood of the million of igbos killed are on the hands of your generation that maimed and killed them

yyba:
SOYINKA has collect money from ibo to say all this rubbish , very unfortunate

the man stance has never changed. You don't vrn know that he was put in jail in 1966 for going against the war by Gowon government and was a strong advocate for Biafra

bobbybrown007:
Now what will the person gain after killing a whole family? The person has a bigger judgement to answer to the creator.

where did you see that someone killed them ?

christistruth01:
Only Dave Umahi and Soludo are the genuine Political leaders in the entire SE

Your fathers have Spoken

I don't think right now the igbos have anyone they can call a political leader for them that is unanimously accepted. The closest was someone like Ojukwu

Hello everyone

I am in the US with an F1 visa and my passport expires October 2023. I would want someone to explain this 6 months validity for passport renewal. My visa expires May 2023 next year and I am still considered to be in status as far as I don't leave the US beyond that date or else I need to renew my visa

And the 6 months validity of my passport ends after April next year. Can I renew visa beyond April next year or I need to renew my passport first before renewing the Visa ?

muykem:
Fake news continues and any little jab against their candidate, they will start crying like a baby

Your delusions go kill una

Realists:
Tell us more about Pandora papers, there is one fake Saint disturbing our ears with lies.

case dead on arrival that's why opposition doesn't even use it

Honjoshy4u:
Shetima is a Jihadist Boko Haram commander that should be in jail for kidnapping those beautiful Chibok girls.

I am no partisan person but you see Modu Sheriff, he was the governor at that time Bokoharam came to the limelight. His hands has been implicated in the early activities of Mohammed Yusuf. Even one of the commissioners in his cabinet was a bokoharam member and was killed in the 2009 uprising. Modu Sheriff in the picture you posted was the one that transfered and gave power to Shettima after he finished his tenure

cherishmichael:
I would have loved this story if there was any pics attached to it

US operatives in another country will likely be the CIA and believe me you won't get any pictures of them because of the work they do

dyera:
Is is by force for person to stay your the club? Person say he does not want to play in Europa, you refused to release him to a club that is playing in the champions league.

Get your facts right

Haymus007:
You no even believe your club

Na Anfield factor sha...#YNWA

I am a liverpool fan buy with that lineup of Milner as RB and Gomez as CB and Konate out of team because of injury then we have no chance

They go beat us today

BATified2023:
I have said it a couple times here that igbos don’t want election but war,they have started killing apc members in the east now n they ain’t seeing any big deal about it

They have started throwing the first stone now n when people threat them same way n return their action they will start playing victim card

Imagine igbos doing their rally anywhere but never want anything in their region

The same mindset that led to d civil war is the same thing they are repeating now,the mindset that only their own is good n others are bad so others must be killed n their own b left alone

Imagine one saying atiku n tinubu should b killed for corruption,meaning if he has d power he will repeat d mistake of killing other regions leadersn leaving only igbos

I repeat igbos don’t want election but war

Igbos are the last people to want war after having seen war themselves that killed 3 million of their people. All what you wrote is completely not just false but reeks of hate and agenda...for the first time an igbo man is having a chance to be president we see a lot of hate based on his ethnicity. Is it a crime for an Igbo person to vye for that seat

omenka:
If Zombiedients had any sense, they'd be wondering why Kwankwaso didn't even bother mentioning Pandora.

Dude isn't worth mentioning, he is no contender in the eyes of Kwankwaso.

seems you don't know that both APC and PDP will want Kwankwaso to decades to either of them. He will certainly get a lot of votes in the NW which will reduce hopes of APC or PDP winning the NW. It has nothing to do with Obi. Infact it plays in Obi hands if the northern votes are divided

Even when you make it official between God and man.. Guys like me will still come and chop her and clean mouth.. Do you know how many married women here in Lagos that I've chopped? Talk more of the single ones.. On Saturday I went out a girl approached me telling me I'm very handsome and tall the next day she called and said she is on her way r my house.. The rest is history. Thats somebody's serious relationship?? And she is engaged. I don't have plans on marrying any Nigerian girl. I have a baby mama and I'm working on a second one.

a lot of people with mental health issues but they don't know....sorry bro

Creamypie:
How iswap and boko take dey locate and kill each other still baffles me till tomorrow. Nigeria=the more u look the less you see

because one came from one. They were all one body before the rise of ISIS and the power tussle that disintegrated bokoharam into Shekau bokoharam and ISIS affiliated group called ISWAP

successmatters:
Ok, Nigerians, you have heard it. They said they shot 8 terrorists but they somehow forgot to write down their names or even take their pictures of the terrorists or their alleged seized ammunition.

You are expected to believe that the FG is fighting terrorism. If you don't believe without questioning them, they will insult you. Beware.

Did you read the news at all...There have been an ongoing battle between ISWAP and bokoharam and pls research to understand the background behind the fight and that's even if you know the difference between Iswap and bokoharam

Sleekcode:
Picture in one word describes the amazing foolishness of the whole south



Jesus





Just take a look at that picture



A whole our military






From A-Z only northerners





We from the south




Deserve what we're getting.





I laugh @ their one Nigeria nonsense

in the NDA we have equal number from each state...I think 6 or 8 per state

God1000:
lol, don't deflect, I thought it was going to be a blitzkrieg military operation within few days in favour of Russia, but the war is still raging seven months after with Ukraine doing the counteroffensive now

Russia isn't a world power, it is just a regional power and it is gradually losing that status

I think Russia is stretching the hands of the west. They know they can force a solution if they threaten with nuclear weapons. Depsite the fact the west would want to fight it out with Russia, no one wants anything Nuclear and considering the fact that Russia is top 2 in Nuclear power with the US
