We told them ipob esn and those criminals won't do SE any good and they called us names
Unknown angels
Umu oma
Biafra war lords
Ready to destroy zoo army
Let's sit and home and cripple zoo economy

We never learnt from boko harm
Now criminals are running rampage
December is coming and a lot of wealthy influential Igbos won't dream of coming home

The earlier we stand our ground and say to these criminal the better for us

No matter what, people must troop home.

Security agents are their target, these set of people are armed to protect themselves and others , so they should do the needful.
As I said earlier, lots of people will troop home this Christmas season,we saw it in 2021, 2022, 2023 and this year will not be an exemption.

South East is not a small community but a geographical area that consists roughly 30000km2

,If people will be moving to Kaduna, platuae, benue, Katsina, Niger, Ogun, Edo, sokoto , then I see no reason why people won't return to south east this December.

No supporting the killings but we shouldn't use our mouths to make it seem as if ours is worst. I live in south east and I can tell you I have never encountered violence crime in the past, few years.

I thought they said their Oba is god and should not be critisized, why did this lady keep mentioning him. I hope they won't banish her.

Judolisco:
it still a useless tradition... Hw can a diety translate tapping waist as having sex?

I am not arguing whether it is a useless tradition or not, just trying to explain how it works

ekineme:
Some tradition though!, I have read about this tradition in some villages that if a traditional married woman cheats and cook for the husband that the man will fall sick and if the necessary rites are not performed, he will die.

My question is what is the man offence?
Someone cheats and an innocent person dies, does it make sense? Before a lady will cheat on the husband she doesn't give a f**k what happens to the husband so it's an alternative to giving your husband a poison just that this time it's done by the gods

This is how it happens.
If a woman cheats, she must inform her husband and after that the husband must stop eating her food until the necessary ritual is performed but if the woman fell to inform her husband, then she will run mad . So women out of Shane now inform their husbands in a cunning manner and how do I mean ?
A woman will sleep with another man and tell her husband that the man tapped her waist. I naive husband will take such information on its face value and move on not knowing that the wife just made a cheating confession to him. For the deity of the land the woman has informed her husband and therefore free from any punishment whereas the husband didn't understand the coded massage then went ahead to eat the woman's food, he will die. For some rugged men, even when you tell them that a certain man eyed you, they already know what you mean and will take action immediately.

So that is how it happens, they must inform their husbands else they will be the victimes but the thing is that some who wants their husbands dead will do it in deceptive manner which will evade their husbands understanding but still credit to them by the deity as having done the needful.

Generally when a woman tells her husband about any man even eying her, the husband will become suspicious and question her the more but few careless ones are dribbled .

Carndidlaydid:
Very stuuuupidd man


He should be castrated
Laying with a poor woman who just lost her husband


Wicked gender

She might have lost her husband recently but I don't believe it is as recent as two days.

How can you as a widow even leave the house when people are gathered in your house.

I think she might have lost her husband for a week or more .

Zonefree:
Israel no get forgiving spirit. Na their God I wan dey serve now.

The teaching of, if someone slaps you on the left cheek, you should turn the right one for them to slap again doesn't sit well with me.

What people fell to understand is that isrealis are more brute and unforgiving than even the Muslims just that they are more civilized and do their own in a polishes way.

There is this post yesterday on isreali Facebook that I am following about some Hamas terrorists that surrendered to IDF. You need to see how their people were urging the IDF to ignore the war rules about captured fighters and kill them .
The savagery of the Jews is on another level I pity Muslims challenging them.
Once you harm these people they won't be pricked by their conscience on their degree of retaliation. Only fools dare them.

Dagger111:
Who else thought it's the actress Nnaji?

Maybe you are naturally slow because I don't know how one would see an "Nnaji" in relation with science and think that it is Genevieve.

Amigoss:
Who will beat Ekiti's record where they voted on credit ,tht was Epic......Ondo or Anambra?

Check last Anambra election, money was rejected. It was in Ekiti and osun that vote buying reared its ugly head again where people were given " money for soup" I don't know how they say it in Yoruba.

Jigawa state alone - 6,979,080 - 2023

Sure you failed your maths exams woefully because Costa Rica and Panama that am seeing there alone are 9m plus even before adding others

Black man, leave this guy alone.

All the sex and recordings were consensual.

Prosecute him for the crime of theft.

Monkeys, shove your sentiment down your throats.

Consensual with people's wives ?

Taxing is one things
Over taxing is another thing

Mba is taxing all the taxable, Keke's are now paying 450 daily instead of 200 they were paying before, the tax each tippers pay 1k for each trip and am sure tippers do not less than 2000 trips daily in Enugu city alone, property tax is at its peak now.
My question is if Ugwuanyi was making 30b yearly why you Mba with all his emphasis and increment on taxation in form of widening the tax net not make at least 60b annually? Edo State that is generated 62b last year, I have never heard edolites crying about taxation, even Kwara state is high in IGR.
The truth is that our governors are not saying the truth about IGR, note that it is the easiest fund that can be embezzled because it can't be traced.

High IGR Isn’t Always a Sign of True Progress

Rising internally generated revenue might look good on paper, but it can sometimes paint a misleading picture of a region’s real economic health. Here’s why relying too much on IGR for measuring growth can miss the mark:

1. It Doesn’t Mean People Are Actually Better Off
When a region collects more revenue, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the economy is growing in a way that benefits everyone. Sometimes, the government increases taxes or adds more fees, which raises revenue but leaves people with less money to spend, save, or invest in their own futures. True economic growth should improve people’s lives, not just fill government accounts.

2. Higher IGR Can Add Pressure to Everyday People and Small Businesses
When governments aim to increase revenue quickly, they sometimes create new taxes or raise existing ones, often affecting small businesses and regular folks. This can make it harder for businesses to grow and thrive, and it can discourage new businesses from starting up. Economic growth should make it easier—not harder—for people and businesses to succeed.

3. It Doesn’t Show Whether the Economy Is Fair for Everyone
Just because IGR is rising doesn’t mean everyone is doing well. For example, a region could see higher IGR from taxes that affect certain groups more heavily, like small business owners or renters. This can actually increase inequality, leaving the gap between the wealthy and less well-off even wider.

4. Short-Term Fixes Can Hurt Long-Term Progress
Governments sometimes boost IGR by creating one-time fees or taxes. This raises money in the short term but doesn’t build a sustainable path for long-term growth. True economic growth requires a stable base—like supporting new industries, building infrastructure, and creating jobs—rather than just relying on temporary revenue spikes.

5. Focusing on Revenue Alone Can Miss the Bigger Picture
When governments focus mostly on collecting taxes, they can overlook the real investments needed to grow the economy, like building roads, improving education, or supporting healthcare. These are the things that help create jobs, attract new businesses, and ultimately improve quality of life. Revenue is important, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle.

---

So, What Really Matters?

For a more meaningful view of economic growth, we need to look beyond high IGR. Real growth happens when people see better job opportunities, fair wages, better schools, and affordable healthcare. Sustainable progress should lift the whole community, not just add to government funds. When we see the economy this way, we focus on building a future that benefits everyone, not just a bottom line.

Every state collects tax , just that some don't declare all their tax.
I am surprised when Enugu state govt said that they have collected 39b so far this year because the way they are going on tax drive, they out to have generated far above that.p

If I understood this write up well, what it is trying to say is that lagos owns dollar equivalent of N2tn ($1.2b) and another N1tn in domestic dept totaling N3tn ) no amount of viability can justify this. The state is deep in dept and that shows that it has not enjoyed good leadership overtime.

Donaldoni:
Are you a pig

Is your father a dog ?

Yoruba pastors for you, none of them is worshipping God in truth and in spirit , bunch of immoral idiots after filthy lucre

bjtinz:
We may not always agree with him, but FFK is spot on here.

It's only a worthless, self-loathing omo ale that will see nothing wrong in Kemi's abhorrent behavior.

But you guys just in the other thread applauded Reno Omokri for castigating GRV for towing the same line as FFK but here you are applauding FFK.

Is there something I am not understanding about Yoruba double face ?

UltraSolid:
Keep deceiving yourself. How many Igbos die from the murder-for-organ-harvesting business booming in the SE, for like the last 20 years, and even rampant in Anambra under Obi , when he was Governor, that the Agulu gbajue pretended to be ignorant of?

You Igbos will never understand that, per being the champions of everything negative in Nigeria, majority of your fingers point back at you when you point a single accusing finger at others. Try pointing a finger and see for yourself.

Keep living in denial, as I am typing this heads are being cut in Ogun, Oyo and osun states .women are now endangered species in south west and you are there blabbing. A region that is ritual capital of Africa, you guys have deceived yourselves for long but truth is now coming out.

triple996:
I mean Singapore has a very large Muslim population.
Or you think Islam only exists in Arab nation?

BTW is that all you can counter?
Honestly I was expecting a much more serious rebuttal or a much more stronger argument. But it seems u are as empty headed as I suspect. You couldn't even counter anything I said but had to only point at Singapore which by the way had a very large Muslim population. Your claim was that any country with muslims are always not peaceful and I clear your doubts bt as usual u can't deny the fact could you?

Nothing concern me with your argument,all I know is that Singapore is not a Muslim country, they even severed ties with Malaysia because they don't want Islamic ties.
If your definition of Muslim country is having large number of Muslims, then the likes of Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon , India etc can as well be said to be Muslim countries.
Singapore has Muslim population but none Muslims are more than Muslims in the country, so it is very wrong for you to tag them Muslim country.
They don't even belong to OIC

Chidera57:
What has she done for us ndi Igbo?

Nothing and I think it time to call her out not when she retires we begin to moan

triple996:
U actually think that the world revolves around your stupid western propaganda ? I dont engage in senseless talks like this, today I will give you the answers you have been looking 4 simply to clear your doubts about Islam and expose the western propaganda stopping your brain 4rm thinking.

Here are a list of wonderful peaceful countries the western media dont want you to know
- United Arab emirate (dubai 😎) even u wants to visit that city for vacation.
-indonasia
-singapohre
Saudi Arabia etc

The western propaganda keeps tagging her enemies and giving them a bad name, for example Russia and China. Both are good countries but of course western media always desperately gives them a bad name same as Islamic countries.

By the way what do u mean by peaceful ?
Can u say United state of America is peaceful ?
A country were mass shooting takes place 4 no good reason. A country were u can be killed simply because
of your skin colour(blacks). What happened to all the mass shooters in USA ? did u tag them as terrorists ?
Can u please define what u understand as "terrorists" without painting a picture of American mass shooters or isreal government that drop bombs on women and children?
Or u mean peaceful has a different meaning?
Are there not violent separatists in non Muslim countries?
Did u tag them as terrorists states?
Is USA, Russia, isreal etc peaceful ?

Your problem is that u are too carried away by western propaganda, so much that u fail to reason on your own and see think from a unbiased point of view.

Must you lie to buttress your point, how is Singapore an Islamic county ? You mean Lee Kwa Yu was a Muslim ?

Raydos:
The funniest part is that, This same people who are claiming yorubas hate them, They are not allowing any tribe to buy land in their own region oo, you can't even live peacefully in their region!

Whereas they are free to buy land in the west, Now tell me, Who hate who?

Really ? You mean people who can sell their parents for money don't sell ordinary land ? Maybe they don't really love money as alledged,

Tellmeastory:
SHUT UP AND FACE THE TOPIC. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE US PRESIDENT - ELECT AND HIS WORDS. AND YOUR SUPPORT FOR HIM.

ARE YOU ARE BLACK PERSON?

WHY WOULD YOU SUPPORT SOMEBODY WHO HATES YOU AND CONSIDERS YOU INFERIOR?

ARE YOU SICK IN THE HEAD OR YOU CURSED TO BE STUPID?

The hatred Tinubu has for igbos is more than that of Trump. We thought Buhari is the father of hatred and bigotry but Tinubu has made him look like a saint.
At least we saw Davido voting in US, a right yorubas could not grant their compatriots and you want us to condemn trump ?

richmond500:
Singling out the Hausa hate Igbo is disturbing.

Igbos also hate Hausa/fulani, they extended their hatred to Yoruba and called them backstabbers cos Yorubas voted for Buhari who is Hausa/fulani

And how did it end up ? Even your drug brother is crying that he inherited a bad economy. Igbos are wise

agulion:
. Islamic zakat, it seems some Yoruba Muslims are joining the Islamic teror group, no Islam no terror

When report came earlier in the week that some bandits beheaded about ten people and made away with their heads was when I know that Yoruba Muslims have joined .
You know they don't miss the opportunity of mining skull both dried and fresh.

Northern terrorists don't take away decapitated heads.

UltraSolid:
Precisely. The reality you highlight just reveals the fact that Northerners, and even Igbos, are in bed with terrorism and terrorist. Otherwise it would not be their reality today.

Can anyone imagine mindless and self-harming terrorism ever becoming the norm in the SW and SS? No, and this is because of the nature of SS and SW folks that makes them very different to the extremist and ultra-radical disposition of folks in the SE and core North.

More people die of ritual in SW than the entire people killed in SE .
Even recently a ritualist from Oyo state confess about killing over 75 women for ritual purpose . Such feat can not be equaled in SE

franchasng:
Eh yaah, it is well.


Losing a breadwinner at the peak of his career is heart wrenching, will they ever get such opportunity again in life? I doubt, sighs.


I am sure the family must have gone spiritual and found out that the man was killed by those wanting to take over his position. That is one big problem with working in Nigeria; you fight internal enemies among your colleagues and external enemies outside your workplace too.


This diabolism in Nigerian workplaces need to stop. Using spiritual diabolism to kill your colleagues because of position is an abominable act that Nigerians should know will never go unpunished

It has nothing to do with his work place but rather from his village people. Dude because of power went and confiscate a land belonging to his neighbouring community and this is just the result.

I think his uncle was right, if he didn't buy the form for him, Lagbaja wouldn't have become a powerful general and couldn't have mustered the guts to drag what does not belong to him .

Mrexcell:
Don't be a bigot do you even know the type of investors he took there? Rivers is known for oil related businesses while abia is known for non oil related businesses like shoe making and the likes so don't just jump into conclusions with ur bigoted mind. The opm founder has also helped a lot of rivers people.

I don't know why you guys are so weak, see as you are explaining things to him as if the apostle doesn't have the right to take investors to anywhere he likes even if it is oil related.

My response to him is simple, he should gather his fellow cultists and close the church if they born them well.

chrisxxx:
The governor who revealed this didn't know the damage he has done to OPM owner.
Let's leave at that.

So the apostle did it in secret ? Are you just hearing about it for the first time ? It seems you are not on Facebook because it, was widely publicised on fb with the pictures of the apostle, gov Otti and the investors , is like you only dwell on nairaland.

As I said earlier, go and close the Church and stop disturbing us here because the man will still bring more investors to Abia, this is just the beginning.

chrisxxx:
But he has his church business in Rivers State.
Then when he has investment opportunities he remembered he is from Abia State.

You can go and close the Church, don't come here and disturb us

highchief1:
no go package yourself.most of these guys started early.dey der Dey watch Man U chelsea match.

It is not about packaging oneself, there is no way this man can be 52, Lai Lai . It means that sowore is older than this old man and sanwolu 7 years older. That is imposing.
You will also believe that Tinubu is 72

Everything in Lagos is fraud,. How can this old man be claiming 50 years ? So sanwolu is 9 years older than this man . Lol

Blessed4sure:
Great respect for Tinibu as how?

Where did they ever meet?

Probably when Tinubu was dealing on narcotics in US, maybe Tinubu was one of the few guys that didn't adulterate and hence the respect
