Forget story. They are approximately same.. not like that type of 'small' tag on south east.
Imo state is one hell of a big state. Can you exhaust all the corners of okigwe?

Approximately thesame? You have no idea. I've lived in imo for years now. I've been to Anambra, Rivers, ebonyi and Enugu. SE will only look big to those who have never been to the north before.

Broveens42:
I'm happy the lies about south east being small have been bursted.
Many people who know owerri west will agree with me that half of it's land have not even been touched.

Wait o. Is the SE not small before? Lekwé gi o. Using owerri west as a yardstick. If you ever travel up north, you'll know what land mass looks like. It takes many hours to just pass through benue alone...without traffic hold up sef

This people wise sha. Dem only snap d frontage. This estate that looks like a wasteland. Only those wey know this estate go know the rubbish wey Nigerian government don carry give these person

Why are writing in English..
Why not use the language your forefathers use??

Did our forefathers willingly opt for English abi it was forced upon them. It was a systemic process. They knew that I order to catch up with the change brought about by the enforcer, they must align with his culture, hence the adoption of English Language, clothing style, system of administration, etc.
If we weren't robbed of most of our traditional heritage including our language, we, mostly definitely, would have prioritized Our tribal language before any other.

hucknall:
That's not true. The colonial masters came for business while
missionaries came to spread the Gospel.

Stop spreading lies.

The same gospel they used to imprison the minds of slaves. I'm a Christian, I believe in the Bible, but I also recognize and admit to the fact that it was used as a weapon of oppression and mind control on Africans.

Balerion:
the white men have Successfully brainwashed you

Actually, I feel pity for the dude. He's just one of millions of victims of the white man's lies. He's one of those who believe Africa's history began with colonialism.

MadamVanessa:
He was brought up in the east. There's no way you're a south east product and behave stupidly.

Abeg no dey cap here. He was born in jos, raised in jos, began his career at GBS football academy in jos, started shining when he was loaned to juth FC, jos. Even to this day, he spends a lot of time there.
Stop capping biko nnu

I wanted to reply but I don reason am. No be everybody dey alright for this Nigeria

Hubeznigeria:
If I were his superior I would have a different look at it... I believe that superior authorities should be respected and revered. But, I know what dreams can make people do. It might be he desires the office of a Colonel or a higher office hence his motive for taking the picture. I am a Christian and my Bible tells me that Faith is substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.

I remembered when I first bought my first blackberry bold 2 many many years ago (2011/2012). I had no money. The only thing I had was the kpalasa phone I was using with which I downloaded the picture of the Blackberry bold2. Every morning, I would look at it and reminded myself that I would have it and it wasn't too long, I bought the phone.

What is my point in telling this story, we all have dreams and aspirations and whenever we come close to someone or something that is a representation of the dreams we have, we barely control ourselves. That's why you see Davido's fan climb on stage just to grab and touch them. The NA should have checked his uniform to see if there's any insignia of a Colonel on it suggestive of the fact that we might want to dupe unsuspecting persons before dismissing him. Otherwise they should have encouraged him that with hardowrk and dedication to duty, he would someday grow to the rank of a Colonel and even more. My thoughts anyway. But the NA knows better than I do.

May we never be unfortunate

Spoken like a true civilian. If the dismissed soldier reads this thing you just wrote, he might even slap you himself. The army doesn't operate like you think

This is nothing compared to Abriba in ohafia LGA of abia state

Better domo.
My elder brother told me of a commodore lizard that used to stay at our backyard when I was little. It was a military barrack, so old soldiers, (soldiers who enlisted in the 50s and 60s) back then had all sorts of weird voodoo shits. Some left them in the barrack and went back to their hometowns. The owner of this commodore had died, so no one wanted to tamper with his shit. One day the commodore left and never came back. I wouldn't have believed it but my mom confirmed the story.

So bloggers no see all the girls, women and children hustling everyday on the streets to make more than 'urgent 2k'. Na this one dem see to advertise. Yeye dey smell.

You would just open mouth and talk waaaaa. You can't just generalize something like this as if you're omnipresent. My friends in the north buy fuel at prices ranging between 200 to 300. But as agent of confusion, tribalism and sectionalism wey u be, u wan turn the whole issue to hausa - igbo matter. Mtch Wayyo biko

If a Nobel Prize is was being given for the most foolish speech made by humans, this right here would probably be miles ahead of others deserving of the award.

Omo, na human being type this thing o.

I also read it and panicked. Like...people still think like this in this age? I wonder when people would learn to see something the way it is without putting on the eye lense of tribalism and bias. Sad

IamAtikulate:
Insecurity in the SE exists only in Yoruba media.

South East is far safer than SW.

FACT

No dey lie give yoursef abeg.

Funny enough, most people saying nyenyenye, boko haram, God forbid this and that, have never been to the north before. They've only relied on exaggerated hearsay all their lives, as the only source of information about the North. If it's so bad, won't you wonder why southerners and westerners aren't running back home?

jmoore:
My sister was posted to Kaduna. She went there, filled the redeployment form. She has been redeployed to Ebonyi state.

Omo...are you q bot or what. This one No be the first thread I dey see this copy and paste response

Nobody has said a thing about the road linking the North Central to the east. That road is a total mess, especially when you get to benue.
If the Federal Government wants to privatize and toll the highways, fine. The question is, would these private companies conduct proper maintenance on these roads as supposed? Because naija man still dey suffer DISCO wahala o

Back when I lived in a military barrack, we had two churches facing our house, and a Mosque closely beside. The churches which happened to be Catholic and Anglican, hardly ever made anyone uncomfortable. Omo na the Mosque carry shege look us for eye dah year. The distance was just a few yards away, so you can imagine. In the morning, noise; afternoon, noise; night, noise; during fasting, worse. The makaranta kids didn't make it any easier with the consistent chanting and all. Person hear am sha

Tallest don recieve

When is Nigeria's own happening pls

E no go pass FUTO. Welcome to wahala

Obinna don Bleep up. This shit is disgraceful. Asin, this days, I'm starting to find yahoo and all sorts of cybercrime disgusting; and I mean the 'I'm gonna puke' kind of disgusting.

Wise man. To think the op sides with the said son tells a lot about his person. Sure say no be Op b the prodigal son sef?

Jesus! Bros, you'll shit this thing and forget it's taste even. So like this now The difference between this iconic animal and death was your longer throat.

But why are IVM cars so expensive?

Jos people and caucs be like 5&6

I was playing football with my peers sometime back in
in the early 2000s . I've forgotten details of it, but somehow, I pissed thos guy named abel off. It led to a wild fight that saw me thrown on the ground three times. He ended up breaking one of my teeth that had been trying to shake off the gums while I gave him a headbutt that pealed the inner side of his lips. Lord knows I'm grateful that fight happened because that tooth was already strengthening back in the gums, with a pair growing just right inside. I still haven't told him what he did sha. He go use am yab me

I believe it's like 100k per semester, distance learning but all lectures are online while exams are done physically.

It's very good for working class people, but expensive. I have contacts there running MBA and bachelor's degree. It's pretty organised except for the money part.

Alright. Thank you
