After watching this, why won't you support unknown gunmen, bandits, seccesionist, terrorists ??

Only a fool will support gun wielding miscreants and armed robbers randomly killing people simply because the govt has failed to live up to it's responsibilities. What's even the link? What's the logic?

Maxymilliano:
Mary Odili is next in line to succeed the current CJN in the event he retires, so whether the affidavit is verifiable or not she must be taken off the line.

After all Onoghen was taken out by CCT but till date he hasn't been convicted.

..And it's all politics; PDP Judges vs. APC Judges.

The truth is that you are using the word "ILLITERATE" in a relative way, you truly do not know the meaning. Please consult a Learner's Dictionary.

I know the meaning of the word, and whether contextual or not, I'm pretty sure you get my message.

puzzlegate:
Oga, take it easy because of your heath. The vehemence with which you attack IPOB matter , I dare ask if this is your paid job or just a personal zeal . Know now that there's nothing you are capable of teaching the dumbest of IPOB members. We have seen your type uncountable times, so just relax and stop stressing your self.If you think you are good in Logical analysis, go back to buhari and teach him how to RULE you people. We are Biafrans, we don't need zombie advice.

So I have to be paid first before I lament the destruction being brought to my homestead by idiots and fools?... What's my business with buhari? And if Buhari doesnt know how to rule, how exactly does that even remotely sound like a sensible justification for any normal person to glorify the destruction of his own place? Is Buhari only misruling the SE of Nigeria? Why must our people always personalise everyone's problem? Why have you and your ilk chosen to destroy the SE and place the lives of Igbos all over Nigeria at risk because buhari is misruling?... Will buhari even rule forever? When will you ipob people ever have sense?

Anyway, there's never been a point engaging with you guys; most of you have since lost your capacity to reason rationally cos of anger against 1 man buhari. But may I remind you of something? Anger against 1 man buhari is a very stupid reason for anyone to willingly dump their senses to engage in self harm. I pray you realise this before it's too late.

Bonesbreaker:
i remember people like you once said civil war will end in just few weeks but it shocked you 3 years, i remember people like you once said igbos are not united today e still shock you how a whole region came together to shut down for a course, i still want remained you something here Biafra will come either in peace or in war, Rest and be watching

See how they keep living in pointless delusion. What region came together to shutdown? You forcefully and tyrannically intimidate innocent people with mindless violence into staying at home, yet you gladly brag about it as "people coming together"? Probably this sort of tyranny from an illiterate mob is what we should be expecting from the so called Biafra?

Take away the violence and intimidation and let's see how many really complies with your nonsense sit-at-home. Or better still, why dont you go attempt your sit-at-home order in Igbo dominated areas outside Igboland where you cant easily use your force and violence? No need to even go far, just try it in PH.

puzzlegate:
Who are the regular IGBOS ? Stop deceiving yourself. Many of us are technocrats, professionals, business owners, scientists, etc. We are all buying into this ideology. So stop your wild goose chase and face the reality. Niga is a cursed country. Full of evil, wickedness and clueless RULERS ! We have had enough of your hypocrisy, let us go back to our promised land of BIAFRAN.

Nigeria is a cursed country but God forbid it be replaced by another accursed geographical entity driven by an illiterate mob.... Who is buying into what nonsense ideology? Attacking policemen, soldiers, dss, inec, enforcing stupid sit at homes and what other filthy nonsense? Guy I'm sorry, only idiots and never-do-well riff raffs buy into such nonsense. Govt is doing badly isnt a justification for any sound person to buy into trash.... I've not met a single person in my own circle who supports the madness so God knows the kind of circle you placed yourself in.

PROPEACE:
So you kill DSS officials to make what point? Are you guys normal? Did you know that when Boko Haram started they were called freedom fighters? They were protected by their people who also made excuses for them saying they were fighting injustice? Did you know that when the poo hit the ceiling, their own fathers and brothers were slain and their sister's married out to BH members. Their communities were razed and everyone suffered? That is what is going to happen in the with east of you guys go on cheering those riff raffs!

Bonesbreaker:
this is not BH this is people who want freedom from a particular country relax e go set soon very soon another civil war is loading

People who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it! Those who glorified and defended bokoharam and even the more recent bandits didnt have to wait too long to realise how foolish they actually were.

@Bonesbreaker, keep foolishly supporting rubbish.... And you see that civil war you talk about? take this as a prophesy - when the war comes, it wouldn't be a full blown war, and it wouldn't even involve non-Igbos. It would purely be an Igbo-Igbo affair where regular Igbos would get fed up with the mayhem, fish-out and flush-out from the land, the marauding miscreants (whom you glorify today for Ipob's sake) and their glorifiers (like yourself).

Bigflamie:
Nigrian Government underestimates the masses hence their dubious ways of enriching themselves at people's detriment. You don't look down on people you govern, work on how to resolve issues and don't play lip service any longer. Just like this 5 day sit at home order, they don't want to be proactive to avoid it. SMH.

Release Kanu and run a corrupt free governance and see everywhere peaceful.

Biafra we stand.

Filthy stinking nonsense! If releasing Kanu is what would make these bastards stop attacking policemen and innocent civilians alike, if releasing Kanu is what will make these criminals stop plunging the SE into mindless insecurity and anarchy, then may Kanu rot in whatever dungeon he's been held in. Dem dey call una 'terrorist' and some of you are truly trying to foolishly live up to the title?

By the way, all these mayhem has nothing to do with the masses or even about govt officials stealing money; this is purely a case of never-do-well criminals and miscreants taking advantage of an existing agitation to freely unleash their trade; all to the admiration of some useful idiots who think the criminals are working in their favour.

Like I always say here, it's only a matter of time before regular Igbos get sick and tired of this nonsense and come out en masse to flush out the idiots perpetrating these crimes.

Some delusional fellows would soon say these ones are DSS.

Every armed robber in the SE now scratching legitimacy (or illegitimacy) from Biafran agitation.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/lailasnews.com/tenant-who-was-served-quit-notice-builds-beautiful-house-opposite-landlord/amp/

Why did the landlord serve him a quit notice? Prolly cos he was paying his rent. Except there's more to this story, I dont see anything glorious about this. Some tenants are from hell and deserve to return to a hotter part of hell.

Experienced a similar story recently. Tenant owed 2 years rent and kept giving excuses upon excuses till he was served a quit notice. Landlord forfeited the 2 year rent, only to find out later that the tenant was actually building a house on the same street. The silly tenant had the guts to move into his new house without bothering to pay up his debt.

This same tenant would probably have even gone to church to give a testimony like the one of the OP. Every testimony isnt from God!

jidemojola:
Story story!! The federal govt should remove power generation from the exclusive list to allow each state to generate its own power, haha!is it rocket science to generate electricity!i tire joor

This was done since 2013/2014.

bcomputer101:
Revoke that of BEDC and sentence that woman to life in prison

Hero2t:
Bedc license should be revoked. Imagine power supply of 3 hours average per day.

Good to know I'm not the only one bearing this sentiment; BEDC is by far the most useless and inefficient DISCO on the face of the earth. I wonder why anyone permits such inefficiency to exist. THe company is cursed!

xeju:
It's actually Benin distribution company

Oh okay.. THanks

[quote author=wwwihy post=107129197]Olodo... nothing like Bendel Distribution Company...It is Benin Electricity Distribution Company(BEDC)[/quote]So because I dont know the full meaning of the abbreviation of your stupid company, na that one make me olodo abii? BINGO!

No need to waste precious time reviewing anything, the license of Benin Distribution company (BEDC) should just be revoked instantly and the owners arrested and tortured. Never in history has a public service company been so dubious, ineffective and useless! *spits*

OBUKOMENA:
Good evening nairalanders! I hope you had a good day?

So, let me just go straight to my reason for opening this thread, and I hope I would be able to convey my thoughts impeccably:

It seems like some of our people who travelled to Germany aren't doing so well after all (I stand to be corrected, though!)
I have a friend over there whom I am preparing to go meet. This guy has been there since 2017. He hardly calls me on normal call. He would rather call on WhatsApp. Reason being so that he could get in touch cheaply. The first and only time I asked him to send me something, he told me pointblank he didn't have.
Just this afternoon, I heard a colleague's father just came back to Nigeria from there after 21 solid years! He had abandoned his wife and children here in Nigeria. If he was doing so well over there, would he not have arranged for his family to come over and stay with him - at least?

I have been worried, even before I heard this colleague's father thing: I don't know what I am going to meet at the friend's place; I don't know what life is like over there - how to cope in a non-English speaking environment. I don't know how long it's going to take me to make it over there and reconnect with my family. This news about my colleague's dad also increased my worries.

So, I decided I would come on here to ask: Aren't these red flags as regards traveling over there, especially with the hope that when i get there, after 2-3 years, I would bring in my family.
Anyone here knows about life in Germany?

Why should he make very expensive mobile calls when he has an option to use free whatsapp calls which are even much clearer?

Davash222:
Osibanjo - We don't need a Lilly livered president, who can be controlled or manipulated by the cabals or Tinubu.

Umahi - A traitor , can't be trusted.

Amaechi - Will be better than Buhari, at least.

No one controls a sitting president in Nigeria. An incumbent president towers higher than any godfather.

mikmash:
The say in the council of multitude is wisdom.

I'm keeping it brief, I might pick your advice which can make or Mar me. I work with an establishment. Honestly these days the work ethic is making me depressed.
Come with me,
I pay for my marketing transportation, data and for calls. With a salary only shy above the minimum wage.
Regardless, pressure is mounting up that I'm not giving results. Let's be frank here, marketing operations differs diversely in this country. What works in kaduna, might not work in Lagos.
My peace of mind, is paramount. If you ask me whether I enjoy the working environment I did say no. But that's all a man got for now. Bearing up with the minimum.

These days I can't sleep. I feel like resigning but I'm scared of been tagged a failure. Your advice is needed Nairalanders. Help push to the front page

The organisation you work for is failing you, how does that make you a failure?

mannatech:
Madness dey some girls body because then think say man keep them for house mean say dey go dey forget their manners anyhow.

A lady really annoyed me this morning.
I had gone to the park to board a taxi back home. The guy who was loading for the driver directed me to the taxi that was loading. An elderly guy sat at the front seat while a lady was seated by the door and she was the only one sitting at the back. Note that the drivers take three passengers at the back.
Immediately I saw how the lady sat at the door- her body language- I decided to enter from the other side but another passenger beat me to it plus I was approaching the taxi from her side to I just decided to enter through there.
The lady rather than shift to the middle came out for me to enter without any form of excuse which I found annoying.
I made my displeasure know to her but she just kept mute as if no be human being dey follow talk. I still repeated myself.this lady just start blowing out like burning charcoal, shouting at the top of her voice that "do I think she is a baby for me to treat her like that".

To make matters worse,the passengers and driver were telling me to not retaliate because na women. Na so we go continue to dey tolerate nonsense. Even na guy, I go still tell am wetin he do no correct.

Lol.. Such a weird sense of entiltlement coming from you. Dem write your name for window seat?...

The way you dont like the centre seat is the same way the lady in question doesn't like the centre seat. She came before you and took the preferred window seat; so please give us one good reason why this lady should concede her window seat to you? Motor sef nor be your own! Wonderful!

Very soon policemen and soldiers would fill up those adhoc positions, and we know the eventual result.

kirbby:
forget it from the way this country is structured. If igbos Don't sell no body will, ask yourself how come since the arrest of mnk that triggered the regular lockdowns in SE the Nigerian economy and dollar rate has been dwindling ask yourself again.
what was dollar rate before mnk arrest and with the continuous lockdowns in SE has their been any improvement on dollar rate and economy so far.
If you like keep denying this fact, realty will keep hitting the ground.

Oga the arrest of MNK has absolutely nothing to do with the slide in exchange rate. What kind of delusion is this?

Nigeria...

Mybrotheralso:
I'm not igbo but I feel the FG has somehow hijacked IPOB to wittle down the economic strength of the igbos similar to what was done to them after the biafran war, giving them paltry money irrespective of how much they had in the account.I mean, how do one explain a people would want to lock themselves economically down for a week in this Buhari's economy. Even Nnamdi Kanu's ipob can't do this.

There is more to what is happening in the east, I just feel the east is under economic sabotage, even ipob cancelled Monday sit at home yet street touts and urchins probably sponsored by who knows still enforce it to cause economic sabotage.

The east is under economic attack to make them poorer .

Did you say NK's IPOB can't do this? If you've ever sat down and had an argument with a hardcore IPOB adherent, you'll understand that what's happening currently has absolutely nothing to do with any external infiltration like you assume; it's just a daylight manifestation of a long existing mob ignorance.

You obviously never visited any IPOB online forum to read online comments; if you did, you'd have a good feel of the mentality driving this mess.

WesternOligarch:
Cripple the Lagos and Nigerian economy by obeying the sit at home order, the Niger deltans have oil to threaten the govt by blowing up pipelines, igbos have the economy of Lagos and own 90% of shops in Nigeria and am pretty sure that them boycotting the economy by sitting at home would also help, also boycotting businesses of those that fail to obey the boycott would also help and IPOB can also create a crypto currency as an alternative to the naira for igbos to spend and transact business with amongst themselves....am telling you that the naira would crash and become worthless in days. Obviously it's not going to be easy, but in war there would be casualties.

It's my honest opinion and few may scorn me as some think am against biafra but actually am a big supporter of the biafran state and wish to see it actualizated. God bless biafla.

PS: am not calling for violence, the mods/janitors should quit deleting my threads.

The Igbos controlling the economy aren't the ones shouting IPOB IPOB and pushing for sit-at-home.

PasD:
Remember Mr Spells? You see him everywhere and everyday around ShopRite umuahia bagging and looking so unkept!

His IG account which is close to 60k following has now been used for 'other things' by his management.

Let us call a spade a spade.

USed and dumped? Was he not paid for his services?

Its only a matter of time before the regular Igbo populace will flush out the deadly virus of ignorance called IPOb from the SE.

People are sick and tired of the madness; but cant just speak up for the fear of being mobbed by an illiterate pack. But then, it's only a matter of time before the camel's back breaks.

matm:
Nnamdi Kanu beign a learned man never killed people for refusing to abide by his sit at home ordes in the past,neither did he order for their means of livelihood to be burnt.Whats the essence of forcing people to sit at home for one week? It is impossible for d court to release MNK without trial.It appears d present leadership of ipob are not educated and thus doesn't know how d court works. Sit at home on days' of his trial is enough solidarity.
Even d Nigeria u call zoo provided some palliatives during covid 19 sit at home.What palliative will ipob give to many Igbos who live from hands to mouth for d 1week.
Ipob,u will surely lose people's support if u don't retrace ur steps.

Forced compliance is not solidarity. People only obey those sit-at-home orders out of fear.

Gentlerespect76:
Your sense of perception is quite low; else you wouldn't mention "your problems"! Look as a person I feel pained by the caricature Nigeria has become. Personally, I am succeeding in my life struggles, so my frustrations are not personal at all, grow up and leave your childish ranting.

Childish ranting you say? Low sense of perception?... Lol... I only just pointed out that you sounded like a bitter person, a fact which you rightly confirmed. But then, being bitter isn't a crime, there're many societal anomalies in Nigeria to make one bitter. My only concern is your misplaced aggression; i.e. pouring out invectives on the lady as if she's the cause of the frustrations. What did the lady do to you to elicit such aggression?

PrinceOfLagos:
She has no business flying in our military aircraft

Can they try this nonsense in the US?

...and how do you know for sure that she has no business flying in a military transport aircraft?

I dont know what her mission is, you dont know what her mission is, we also dont know who or what team she's travelling with, but somehow, you're so damn confident she has no business flying in a military plane?

Did someone anywhere tell you a military transport aircraft must carry only military personnel?

You asked of the US, and the answer is YES! If the civilian has a business with the military, the civilian can be cleared to travel in a military aircraft.

In summary, there is no way you or I can conclude the girl stepping into that plane is an anomaly when we have no information on the reason.

Gentlerespect76:
Yeye dey smell; so this is an achievement? Tomorrow after being impregnated by your husband and you come on social media and tell us, it's also an achievement.

Lesson: your Nigeria is going the way of Afghanistan.

So much bitterness in this post... and one begins to wonder whether the girl in the post is responsible for your problems.

y3mi:
Your comment is the best and most sensible response to a thread I've read on Nairaland since last year. May I ask if you still believe in the continuation of Nigeria, as a colonial structure, in spite of the inpugnity ?

Permit me to jump in on your question... The issues plaguing Nigeria in my opinion arent exactly restricted to any particular tribe, ethnicity or region. The problems spread across all geographical locations - the corrupton, the abuse of power, the impunity etc. So permit me to ask, why do most people keep proferring a dissolution or balkanisation of the country as the holy grail solution to the myriad of problems facing the nation?
