I am not form the Niger- delta but I think your people are worse than you think( no insult intended). Even when a Niger-deltan gets an opportunity to do something for his people, they decide to steal them blind. Go to you place and see a few living in outrageous opulence while the many are dying of abject poverty.

Most niger deltans don't have honest intentions about their people and this is their first problem. They can get 50% derivation if they have one voice and purpose but it will still be stolen by their own people. Your people are the only people that can shut this country down and all of us will listen. Then you can press your demands.

BTW, GEJ and Amaechi are the biggest clowns from your side.

So true, bro. You are very correct!

SonOfEl:


The hoisted flag story died naturally when the constituency members decided to investigate the matter. Am not justifying what one commenter posted that made other ethnicities look cowardly, I only feel the abia flag incident was not in away similar to the killings going on by the Fulani.

Is it arochukwu that would sit and won't retailiate to Fulani's madness? Or is it the ngwa people that won't roast them alive for dinner should it ever occur in their communities? Or is it aba or umuahia that the Fulani's want to rampage? See eh, abia state is a flash point, such Fulani madness won't dare come close, and if it does, they and their cattle's should rest in peace RIP.

Gini n'eme di unu na nairaland?

Stop all these unnecessary boasts! Those people attack "villages" at night and early mornings thereby taking them unawares.

You keep boasting that you'll do heaven and earth if it happens to you. My advice to you is, don't ever pray it happens to you because if it does, you'll do NOTHING!

No reasonable man prays that evil will befall him.

I have never heard of a Yoruba Customary Marriage Act before. Which of the Yoruba states passed the act into law? Who signed it?

In any case, Tiwa and Tbillz were married under the Marriage Act and she has filed for divorce accordingly. The divorce proceedings will be done according to the Marriage Act and not any phantom Yoruba Cust. Marr. Act.

The only thing I am wondering is; since Tbillz is the party who is jobless and earns less, will he ask the court to award him maintenance from Tiwa Savage?

Alimony is paid if it's the woman's fault that they are getting divorced. In the US, men find it extremely shameful to ask for it even if the woman earns more and she's obviously the cause of the divorce.

What most men do is pay "child support" to the woman, but alimony payment (to men) is very rare as men often have ego over their spouse so they wouldn't ask for women's money.

In this scenario, alimony does not apply because based on the info available to me, TeeBillz is the reason Tiwa is filing for a divorce

PDP should have zoned the chairmanship position to a credible Candidate in Southwest.

Well I got no business with Federal PDP, I'm only concerned with PDP in my state....

Senator Samuel Anyanwu let's go there

It is too early to start campaigns for your Samuel Anyanwu as we are in the time of development which is the actual essence of governance.

Mind you, Imo people will never vote for PDP at gubernatorial level again because they've ruined the state for 12 years. It is better you advise whoever it is that wants to contest in 2019 to do that under APGA because Imo State PDP and APC are just disgraceful lots. Yes, they are no longer marketable

A candid piece of advice from a concerned indigene. Thank you

So painful that they ended up like this. Celebrities must try to keep their social lives off social media because it will help to ruin their marriages.

It is better to stay single than being a product of a failed marriage. Before you accept that man/lady, make sure (s)he's the right person.

I hate to see marriages fail because it affects the psyche of the children. Well, I sincerely hope they will get round their issues and come back together again. We are Africans and our culture doesn't encourage divorce.

Well, Madam, what you've just said is by no chance #commonsense as common sense should be condemning what the girl does to survive and not blasting Nigerian men for paying not so well after patronising a prostitute.

Now this is #commonsense

my friend keep quiet enough of your rants are you the only person from orlu? your hatred for Rochas would kill you one day,commend the man for keeping to his promise of completing all the projects he started,did he tell you he cannot buy the equipments needed for those hospitals, and when that is done you would still be the one to come here and complain that the he bought Chinese equipments,my friend change your ways.

Don't mind the guy. Every day he keeps ranting. Anyi agagbafuru ya biko?

How did Ndi wawa end up with this dullard of a governor?
Tufia!

We called it 'Alika' 7up

Beremx:
Alika 7up? maybe that was in the east. here in Lagos we didn't hear anything like that.

Alika 7up!! Lol. That was the name we used to call it back in the day in Enugu.

DaniDani:
This is a blatant lie. I work in a private company along osisioma and I can confirm to you that osisioma depot has been loading fuel and other products since t. a Orji and fg under Jonathan commissioned it.Even today they loaded oil to tankers ask any body that deals on petroleum products in aba

What they load at Aba depot are trucks they receive from other NNPC depots, mainly PH. When it arrives, they confirm that the said quantity is complete and then resell to people in Aba and its environs. Therefore, the products they sell to Aba people are mainly received "in trucks" from other depots

Babacele:
why didn't Ekweremadu's PDP do it for all their 16 years in power? mtcheeeew...nonsense noise!

Ewu! Does he look like your president? He's only "suggesting" it in his book. Maybe you should read it again for a better understanding.

Obviously, he's followed the structure of govt he met and realised itz not working that's why he's suggesting this

These guys have made some valid arguments. And of course Buhari by action and inaction has shown to be a sectional leader. Be that as it may, what these lads seek is an impossible proposition because the north has vested interests in Niger Delta oil.

Niger Delta elders had better call these dudes to order before they turn S/South to another North East.
This is what you get when there are small arms in possession of non-state actors.

Sadly, what they seek can't be granted in this regime because PMB is already deploying the military to the region to curtail your excesses.

These guys should stop threatening PMB because he won't mind turning your region to another Borno just to pay back GEJ

People, wise up!

I don't understand what he meant by Nigeria becoming a net exporter of petroleum products because we are already doing that right now.

If he meant refined PMS, well, most countries have refineries so they don't import refined petroleum products but they import crude oil and refine it in their domain. So I wonder the country we'll be exporting refined petroleum products to when NNPC can't comfortably meet local demands for them.

Nigeria's population has created huge market for refined petroleum products sales. So Oga Minister, satisfy the local market first before looking for whom to export the supposed "refined products" to. I just wonder which country will buy the refined products because even Niger Republic has a functional refinery.

Is that your wish?

5 dead bodies are in the morgue of Bishop Shanahan Hospital Nsukka, I am an eye witness, they are on a revenge mission but believe me this will mark the end of Fulani herdsmen in that community and its neighboring villages


Okpuje community, udi and many others secretly flushed them out in the past, uzo_Uwani people will not disappoint.

I blame the state Governor who has refused to empower and arm boys with guns and trucks in the guise of vigilante group to check mate this evil Fulani's perpetrate against our people

Some time I feel like suspecting if the hands of our leaders in the East is in this activities of Fulani herdsmen just to score cheap political sympathy and discredit the Government at the centre, but on the other hand as someone who grew up among fulanis, I remember they behave like animals.......this kind of killings is not new

Stop wailing and ranting online, and do something. I've always known Enugu people to be weaklings. Anyways, I trust Aba and Onitsha guys, Fulani herdsmen can't bring their madness to those towns.

IPOB Youths doing great things


Haters oya hit me

It bothers me what people like have turned Nairaland into. I still blame Mr Seun and all the super mods for allowing things to degenerate to this level.

Linda Ikeji took time to sensitize her blog readers, and it got to a point where tribal comments and abuses were not posted. I expect Mr Seun to start banning people forever so as to sanitise this platform.

We are all Nigerians. Nigerians are supposed to love themselves and see themselves as ONE.

We are not competing with ourselves!

Hmm

dustmalik:

El-rufai is way more popular than all those you mentioned.

If Buhari isn't coming out again in 2019, he'll probably support el-Rufai, and trust me, that short man will be the next president.

Onitsha/Asaba Bridge is arguably the finest bridge in Nigeria while 3rd Mainland Bridge is arguably the most impressive Nigerian project ever!

My favourite is Pstr. David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries. Forget it, he's super good!

I'm really worried at of the direction everything is going under APC-led Federal Govt. Nothing seems organised and coordinated anymore

How come OP is not talking about the impact of excess imports from China on our local industries? I thought Nigeria had a plan to stimulate her economy by strengthening local industries - not killing them with excessive imports from China!

Economics teaches that excess importation results in unfavourable balance of trade which in the long run hurts the local economy. I thought we could encourage local industries to spring up and allow healthy competition to take place among them which will subsequently make prices of goods to come down without compelling our local industries to close shop. As it is now, importers can now import "just anything" from a China that has comparative advantage over Nigeria in manufacturing.

Who's thinking in this direction?!

malton:


If they deservingly got it, then I consider them heroes. Its hard enough just to eat in such an environment.

To experience such hell and not only pull through uncremated, but in flying colours is highly praiseworthy.



"Real Southern standard first class"? What does that even mean?!

I'm not in the habit of talking nasty of a people, but that really got to me.

Now, I happen to serve in Unizik, Awka. I've been to most higher institutions in the south east and some parts of the SS, I've seen things, quite bad things, but one university stands out, maybe because I happen to be there longer: UNIZIK.

In that school, exam malpractice is almost a norm. Writing exams by proxy, even worse. Especially in faculties like management sciences.

I was shocked last Tuesday when I went to Unizik business school. On my way back downstairs, hall 13, faculty of mgt of course, I saw students, should be 400L cos its so written boldly door top, writing exams but it was something like I've never seen before (actually, I had. Where? Unizik, again!) students were discussing in exam hall as though it were a market square, invigilator, there present. That same day, the faculty of law recorded many casualties as well.

You see final year students with high CGPAs, yet they haven't written more than 4 exams themselves. Irregularities abound. Money can get you almost anything in that school, the women, even less money!

Or is it Anambra state uni where sorting is the only way up?

Fed poly Oko is much in the same brackets.

Abia State uni? Some professors there are not even bachelorly bright!

This place has shown me really, that the clichéd adage "an empty barrel makes the loudest noise" holds true.

I've seen the same patterns in most schools around. Students with good grades who barely know a thing!
How could they when the whole process from the lowest rungs to the zenith are rigged and fraudulent.

Like I said, money gets you anything here, just not much quality!

Up North, at least in most unis I've been to, and especially the one I graduated from, little as a writing on your palm could get you expelled; only pray you don't get caught!

What again did you say the southern standard is?

PS: this is not an attack on Anambra/se institutions, far from it, I'm just driving home a point, only that I'm using facts, drawing from the things that I've seen.

I'm glad you didn't mention FUTO...I was actually waiting to see if your madness and hypocrisy would lead you to spew trash about my alma mater

Sadly, those norhterners you defend can't even write correct English - yes, I met them at nysc, and their IQ is just unbelievable!

Keep defending the indefensible!

[b]Eastern Palm Univ. what?

How many Imolites can afford to foot the bills in a private university which the Ogboko university is tactically placed to become?

If in one period an average Owerri man can train four wards in all the govt universities and Polytechnics in Owerri, because the wards all go to school from home, an Orlu man shall be struggling to train only one ward. That wide disparity in availability of tertiary education facilities between Owerri and Orlu people still remains, despite the presence of YOUR private university in Ogboko.

Orlu people got fcuccked up once again; the people expected Okorocha to use the Ogboko campus to bring more faculties of IMSU to Orlu zone, given that there are too many other faculties in the other govt universities in Owerri. Alas Rochas was thinking of his private university business alone.


Water.

Hopefully, water boreholes that usually close the day after inauguration are not what Okorocha govt has in mind to substitute the surface water supply scheme planned by Imo state govt to supply treated water to nearly all the local govt areas in Orlu zone.

Like the multi-billion Naira Otamiri water works supplying lots of LGAs in Owerri zone, and the Imo River water works in Umuna for all the LGAs in Okigwe zone, the surface water supply scheme for Orlu zone was also planned to source water from Njaba or Orashi River, or from both.

If in any doubt, Gov. Rochas may have to ask ex-gov Ohakim who was promising to start work on Orlu Surface water supply scheme until he was voted out.

Building of this water scheme for Orlu zone is one of the major reasons Orlu people dared Ohakim's PDP rigging machinery at all costs, even at the cost of risking lives, to ensure Okrocha's victory at the polls.

I hate the way many people lay emphasis on university education whereas there are no jobs. Unemployment rates keep increasing and we are busy building more universities.

It's high time Nigerian govt went back to skill/vocational studies. University education does not guarantee a better life in Nigeria anymore but skills do.

Everyone must not have university education, never! Other countries have already realised that, that's why they lay emphasis on skill acquisition in high school which enables their citizens to leave school and start bettering their lives while a few further to university.

If we continue like this, a school leaver in US, Lebanon, India, Pakistan, China, etc will always be a boss to a Nigerian graduate because we merely learn "academics" without "skills" whereas they have the technological skills required to automate and drive processes and industries.

We must redirect our focus from academics to skills that will ultimately lead to innovations esp now that crude oil has become almost worthless

In secondary school I was outstanding in Chemistry, but the university made me look horrible in it.

In any case, I still love Chemistry

Northern Nigeria is taking us back. They know their problem and have deliberately refused to solve it. God have mercy on those kids.

Xonology:
It's not sustainable.. True federalism or outright disintegration is the answer.... I know my poor Ebonyi State will not find it easy initially in-terms of True Federalism but we will overcome.. I want True Federalism..

I prefer regionalism. Nigeria should revert to 6 regions and not this 36 states. This will make the unity of the Igbo states stronger.

When I see things like this happening in Nigeria, I'm convinced that we are so far from getting it right. Posterity will spit on our graves if we don't use the resources God blessed us with to make a better Nigeria for them.

I thought this government had come to fight corruption truly, but surprisingly, Sahara Reporters revealed that Buhari's relatives were also given CBN jobs secretly.

President Buhari be teaching us how to fight fake corruption since 1983.

Hate Sahara Reporters all you want, but when it comes to investigative journalism in Nigeria, they are second to none.

There is no reason to be happy in Nigeria. If you doubt me, why are our youths sleeping at foreign embassies jut to get a visa to get out of this failed state? The best way to be happy in Nigeria is to stop listening to "Nigerian news."
