How can they talk about light without doing better than Lagos on free education for all children? Is that not meaningless and empty? Unsustainable!!!

Lagos should talk about its 'doing'

Allow Enugu to talk about her 'doings' too

ZoomTravels:
Hmmm 🧐 calm down princess. I know it’s hot but drink some tea. In just one post you said they are scared to leave their house and immediately contradicted yourself by saying they sell their properties to Japa. There is literally Yoruba streets in UK and US. So you also blame them for selling their inheritance to you? And they also dislike you? this argument is just top tier comedy. i travel a lot to south east Asia for work, i see a lot of Nigeria group and trust me, even the locals in those countries can spot the difference, from the lousy attitude, inability to assimilate and appreciate host cultures and of course the criminality that attracts attention as if you are the only groups living there. The word courageous and cowardice is something I have found your people are very fond of and it’s always deployed in the most wrong way, why not use some of those courage and braveness to develop your homeland into something people will want to sell their inheritance in Yoruba land just to visit? Why is it always deployed for nefarious activities across Asia?

You obviously don't read well, now go back to my reply and see where I specifically mentioned travel in Nigeria. Apart from travelling to the UK, where do you leave your brown roofs to in Nigeria?

Trump over doing people real bad to their face.... 😂

"People at this table......."

Thank you Governor Mba, more can still be done

Thank you Mrs Adichie, you have always kept it real with every leadership

Government of lies can't maintain continuity with their lies.

Just yesterday, he resigned on health ground, today he's taking up appointment with FAAN, tufia! If everything one can lie with, it's your own health. Despite all the money he's acquired, he still can't be bold enough to say the truth, pigs always pigs wherever they are kept.

That's the way to go. More is expected because much has been given to him.

He should as well prioritise security and encourage more agricultural production amongst other in Enugu.

Our past heroes did it, it can still be done again.

Tychost:
Can’t survive without them? Check the migration patterns in Nigeria. Agricultural sector, technological sector, banking. Literally younger folks have been joining your fights to leave, but even your people aren’t capable of voting in leaders that will fight for your cause. Trust me, it will be a beautiful day when you lots leave. When you carry your worn out bags out of the east and come to trade in the west, do you trade exclusively only with Igbos? Or are these same people you so much despise not your consumer base? You are not as important in the wider scheme of things as you think, just loud and wrong.
Speaking of “as Usual” aren’t you the ones dropping of starvation in a war you started? Now that’s not very smart, is it?

You don't migrate because everyone knows how insecure you are. You are not courageous enough to reside outside your house in Nigeria. Now, I'll tell you what is smart. Your whole life depends on what government can do for you but your dullness makes you support the dullest amongst you into your leadership and afterwards, you resort to Selling off your landed inheritance to those who hunger almost finished in a war, just to japa to UK. And in your smartness, you turn around to envy those who bought your land and are developing it. As usual, you give it some tribal colouration of taking over your space, Mr smartness, did anybody put gun on your head to sell off your inheritance?

iconicceo:
God bless you, you asked the same question I’ve been asking. This guy go around with beads and crown and entourage behaving like a royal prince in another man’s country, now boasting of acquiring 50 hectares of land to build Igbo village and you want the people to be happy with you.

This guy has been masturbating on this thread more than checking up for himself o, wait, why does this pain you specially and don't you have other things you do with your life? Haba joblessness is real o

Evilthoughts:
Nigeria won't be Eldarado without you but it will have some peace without noisy victim mentality people who make excuses about victimization because they have failed to dominate in politics because of their uncouth tongue and immature way of handling things.

Whatever makes you have an erection is welcomed but I have just told you in simple terms how to make them stay away from your Nigeria but I know as you usual, you can't survive without them and will still want to go into another war just to keep them with you

Homeboiy:
Food prepared by family will be shared but no one will demand that the family should prepare tea and bread for them

Our own umuadas, the villagers cook for them but not a must

They might not have demanded, it might just be what the family presented the umuadas. So it could just be s a thing of culture

mikeapollo:
Those who want something should go for the thing by themselves. Support is not by force.

Nobody asked for your support, just steer clear off or continue complaining of being dominated and writing endless propaganda to discredit Igbos, since that's all you can do

Jeje247:
Even this is going to be an issue cos there are areas that are being pointed as Biafra regions but the people have clearly stated severally that they don't want to be art of Biafra. Are you going to force them into Biafra?

Do you force people that were originally Biafrans into becoming Biafra?

What's clear is that there's a space called the old Eastern region, and those areas are Biafra land, anyone opposed to identifying with the original owners of the space might not really be interested in remaining there

Emnyte:
are your governors, lawmakers, politicians and elites class interested in this your so called biafra? If yes why are they not championing it? Why are they not sponsoring referendum or doing something about it whatsoever? It seems the whole biafra thing is only pushed by online ipob touts and villagers. If the people that matter and have the power to push it effectively are silent and not doing anything about it then I don't think anyone else can help you.

Nobody asked your help. Just stop opposing it and writing endless propaganda against a good course. You claim you did not oppose it but your fathers fought war to keep Igbos with you despite the leadership of Igbos agreeing at the time to exit Nigeria, you didn't know about that part of history? Of course we know that politicians might not support it because they are part of the fraud Biafra wants to take care of, but you ordinary citizen, what have you been benefiting from the one Nigeria?

Jeje247:
I have never been against Biafra. Infact I have always been in support.

My only wahala with Biafra is that it can't happen without chaos. There will be massive blood bath cos at this point in time, there are various ethnic groups itching to break off Nigeria. One group cannot leave without the others fighting to leave too. And with Nigeria being a very complex nation, there is already a crisis of boundaries and identities that might not be resolved without blood shed.

Biafra want parts of Kogi, delta, Edo, bayelsa, akwa ibom, rivers states. That won't happen cos those home communities will not allow it. Like wise oduduwa want to break away. Niger delta will want to split out but there will be crisis between the urhobos, binis and ijaws about who will control the area. Even within these groups, there are different factions. There are agitations currently by The Okpe people to be recognised as a separate tribe as they are not urhobos.
The middle belt are not willing to be with the north but the Fulanis will try to overrun their lands, from Kwara on the west to taraba on the east.

Everyone knows the structure of Nigeria before the military started tampering with them, creating artificial boundaries so as to weaken the strength of Igbos in their quest for Biafra. I can tell you, even if it takes 1000years, the old Eastern region is Biafra and will be reclaimed. That part of history can never be erased and the roles everyone played during the Biafran war will be appreciated in due time.

Ijaya123:
And being in country together with the Igbos has actually slowed down the development of the SW and done significant damage to the Yoruba nation.

I support this claim with everything I have. Can you all begin to see reasons for Nigeria's separation?
So that the brown roofs all over sw which have not been changed since Odudua ascended back to heaven can be looked into?

Jeje247:
I am in support of the Ghanians in this issue. When you are in another man's land, you have to respect the land, their custom and the people. You can't just take actions without due consultations. Besides, there have been to many reports of wrong doings by Nigerians in that country. It's not surprising that this one that concerns culture will likely degenerate serious resistance. They have to defend their territory for their future generations. If the Igbos are tired of staying in Ghana, they can as well return to south east Nigeria.

Igbos have been welcomed to many places due to their seeming business focused orientation over many decades but this new generation of Igbo youths are something else. They don't realise yet they are isolating themselves both home and abroad. With such behaviours, they can hardly even present their case to the international community when they have issues with other Nigerians

Stop advising Igbos, support the Biafran course so you don't even share a country with Igbos, it's that simple

Evilthoughts:
I get you now.

The Nigerian community was respected and prospering here in South Africa until these people started with their usual nonsense calling the host community all sorts of names and fighting with the authorities, now Nigerians are treated like suspects and hooligans. Sometimes it's best to know your place as a guest and mind your business instead of looking for cheap attention because you cannot control how the people there will react to your instigation. I wish this country could separate and let every man use their own papa name to travel out.

It's why you should be fighting tooth and nail to make sure there's Biafra. By then, you will become the Eldorado that Igbos have been stopping you from reaching.

Sharpsharp00123:
how can someone who came up first b expelled for poor performance?

The story doesn't add up


With comments I read here, I can now confirm that many on nairaland don't even read the body of a thread but just comment based on the topic


Imagine many of them up there, they are passing comments solely based on topic


Nawah ooo

If he had performed poorly in the past but had to resit for JAMB after expulsion, how does that remove his right as other jambites and admission seekers?

Do you know the story that led to his poor performance and eventual expulsion? What if he had given it all his best to emerge with such score?

What logic is JAMB trying to sell us please?

Homeboiy:
In Nsukka it is not done

But this one is in Anambra state

But Enugu Ezike umuada dey tough too

Ask around, you might have similar culture too. Or are you saying that once people are done crying and dead has been buried, everyone goes their or continue mourning in hunger?

Lanretoye:
i tought they said the tinubu economy can not aect them,but hunger don wan finish their mama or village.

Of course Tinubu's economy has different degrees of consequences for each region but this is not about Tinubu or government. It's about culture which I am sure your people also practice but probably a different food.

I don't know the state but this appears to be in igboland. In my place, the women don't have any particular food request although I don't know if bread was requested here in particular or what the family just choose to serve them but it is a general African culture to eat where someone has passed away after crying or during burial period. In Yoruba land, it's akara they are used to sharing that I have seen on a number of occasions. The lady posting it must be one of the Genzees who's either not in tune with the culture or simply looking for attention.

nani212:
In a sane climate, the court has the final say in cases like this

Unfortunately we are not in same climate, so let the insanity take its course for the time being

ChukwuObe:
Stop deceiving your people with lies. No one has ever said Pe--ter O-bi did not conduct LGA election in 8 years. Stop lying. What many of us said was he did not conduct election until after 7 years in office. Infact he conducted LGA election few weeks to his handing over. Whyt is it difficult for you guys to comprehend? How can someone who did not conduct LGA election for over 7 years out of 8 years in office be describe as a democrat? Such can only be a democrat in the minds of the most f-o.-olish human beings in the universe

At least he conducted it, so the time is the problem, right? Would you rather have him jettison court the process regarding the local government at that time to conduct elections? Or you were never aware of that?

jericco1:
Lol these cult activities. Abeg wetin be the gain because those guys are not even adding anything to the country

What's the gain of being a gay or lesbian?


If you can answer that, you'd easily know answer to your question

He should not deceive himself except obi decides to be his running mate. Obi is the main reason the coalition sound is everywhere. You can't ignore the mass support Obi enjoys even without influencing his supporters with money.



If he exits ADC, Atiku won't have the vote no matter the combo of his ticket. And to make it worse, Obi will still clear south east votes and most South south states.

sleek214:
That's very true. Only Atiku/Obi ticket can defeat Tinubu.... Apart from delusional obidients, the other people pushing Obi are all APC members/supporters... e.g. Festus Kayemo, saying Obi should not accept to be Atiku's VP, Datti, his brother left Tinubu govt, he (Datti) secretly joined and is pushing Obi to contest...Aisha Yesufu, a delusional obidient or perhaps she knows she won't get the cash and publicity she got at the last election..... Obi has already agreed with Atiku before the coalition was formed but am afraid some of these talk might get to his head and he will pull out.... seems obi is greatly influenced by his social media followers/ advisers

It's better like that now. If Obi can't have it this time, Atiku too should forget it both now and forever. The mass publicity and support the coalition enjoys since its inauguration is simply because of Obi's presence there. If Obi leaves the coalition, it becomes empty, you can take that to the bank. If the North's & Atiku's greediness would not allow them throw their weight behind Obi's president, then let Tinubu continue with his havoc. I can tell you that before the 2031, the north will be at the forefront for secession because I know Tinubu will match out hard with his real plans which he suspended for the sake of second term.

richie240:
Hehehehe........I pricked ur conscience okwea??
I'm talking about that particular coup thatbroke that 'alliance'btw the north and the east!

What is okwea? Travel so you can learn, you won't.

Stop speaking what you don't know

Softmirror:
Provide evidence to this claim of your's. Because I see no reason why the government is able to provide for NYSC corp members and won't be able to provide for the military.

Secondly there is a region in this country that has chosen not to be part of the Nigerian military deliberately. In the future, they will reap the fruit of their choice.

You that have chosen to be part of the Nigerian military, where has it taken you? Yeye empty talk

koxyz:
The moral lesson from this coalition is that Nigeria politicians are self centered and relevant seeking individuals.

Don't be deceive by sentiments, their coming together is not to better the course of this country but for their own personal selfish interest and benefits.

Don't bother yourself with that. At least we have seen where we have gotten through the selfless Tinubu's coming together in APC to unseat Jonathan. The question any right thinking person should be asking is if Nigerians can survive another 4years disaster of this government should Tinubu is smuggled back to Aso Rock in 2027

IyaTola:
While the idea of state police sounds practical in theory—especially with the promise of local knowledge and quicker response times—it carries severe risks in Nigeria’s current political and institutional climate. The major concern is abuse of power by state governors. In a system where checks and balances are already weak, giving state governments control over armed forces could easily lead to political repression, targeted intimidation, and erosion of civil liberties.

Nigeria's political landscape is deeply divided along ethnic, religious, and party lines. Introducing state police in this context risks turning law enforcement into tools of ethnic or political enforcement, especially during elections or civil unrest. Vigilantes and local forces, while familiar with their communities, can also become extensions of political thugs, further escalating local conflicts instead of resolving them.

Moreover, the lack of standardized training, funding, and accountability mechanisms across states means some regions will have professional, disciplined forces, while others may descend into chaos or become militarized arms of state leaders.

Until Nigeria establishes robust institutional safeguards—like independent police oversight bodies, judicial reforms, and strong federal-state power balance—the move to state police could worsen insecurity by decentralizing corruption and repression rather than addressing the root issues.

Good. But the points you listed against state police are currently happening with the federal police structure being controlled from Abuja. Moreso, aside the governors using it for political benefits especially elections, there's nothing more they can use it for in the negative. Don't forget election is periodical too, so it means that at worst, insecurity could only happen in electioneering period? Remember also, that not all the governors will use it for politics in their state. But leaving it in the hand of the federal makes it worse off because terrorists and all forms of criminals could come into a state and wreck havoc, yet get federal protection like it's currently happening and during elections, the president uses it against his opponents both at the federal and state level.

Morbeta11:
His time is up....those that made it possible for him to be on that seat don hear nwiiii for his government...Tinubu is bad news.

Imagine nepotism at peak and someone thinks that any governance will happen from the moon?

Funny enough, his people would have been masturbating on other tribes if a quarter of this kind of appointment is made from elsewhere. One should not be surprised this is the kind of thing Awolowo would have done to the whole country if obj hadn't stopped him

IyaTola:
Imagine this being a state police, the abuse of human would be unimaginable

Challenges to Consider:

While the benefits are substantial, some concerns include:

Potential for abuse by state governors (e.g., using police against political opponents).

Risk of fragmentation and uneven standards across states.

Funding issues—not all states may have the resources to maintain a professional police force.


The creation of state police in Nigeria could significantly improve security, local governance, and public trust in law enforcement. However, to succeed, it must be implemented with strong legal frameworks, oversight mechanisms, and safeguards against political misuse.

The challenges you're complaining of are happening on a grand scale now with the president calling the shot.

But with state police which will be supplemented with vigilantes, everyone knows who is who in the state. If you want to compromise on security, it's either going to affect you or your relatives directly or otherwise.

There's no argument against state police that can stand the test of time with Nigeria's current situation
