₦airaland Forum

Coming from a historical background that electricity generation, transmission and distribution were exclusively done by the Federal Military Government (which couldn't be challenged) as a WELFARE and not as a commercial service for which the FG felt that the citizens ought to be grateful, power supply to the present populace can not be adequate.


The Constitution put electricity generation and distribution in the exclusive list.

Until we change these two factors, it will be near immpossility to have 24/7 electricity in Nigeria even if we spend $100 Billion on it.

Today, I was the special guest to give Health Education on the best ways to prevent COVID-19 at the Palace of our Traditional Rular.

In conjunction with the Youth organization of our Town and our Representative at the House of Assembly, we are mounting intensed campaign for the prevention of COVID, disributing Hand sanitizers and face masks.

toogbasky:
Sorry sir, I didn’t knw you have donated your own 1 billion to your community; community chairman; i am part of the community people waiting for your donations, because your government has rendered 90% of us poor bcus of looting and poor decision making

They are probably looking for how to be alive first (by avoiding COVID-19) before thinking of election.

Babaken:
Believe it or not this money is not from his mind

Please sir, donate money that's from YOUR heart to fight COVID-19 in YOUR Community.

How much have YOU donated to fight COVID-19 in your community?


We already know that politicians have stolen money but that doesn't stop YOU from contributing YOUR OWN qouta to protecting your community sir

toogbasky:
I have nothing to say to u; clueless people, this people stole billions of dollars from us and you are asking a common man how much he donated;; it is not their money point of correction; it is our money, in a sane country Your Tinubu would be in jail

Mr Tribalist,



1) Corona Virus doesn't know any tribe. The next victims of COVID-19 in Lagos may even be your brother, girlfriend, mother or anyone dare to you.

It may also attack Kofi, Adamu, Nkechi, Danladi, Obinna,Eket, Ikemefuna, Bayo,Amarachi, Julius, Aisha, Segun, Auwal, Adigun, Bassey or Okeke living in Lagos.

2) This is not about politics, even at that you need to be know that Mr Abba Kyari is NOT an elected Government official, let alone anybody in the S/West voting for him.

Greenbirth:
South west enjoy a gift from Aba kyari. Since you guys voted for them, he has come with a special gift. Which can be shared among his supporters.

Please be sincere,


You know about ichi marks?

Osagyefo98:
Oh you are one of the patronizers of history ville

I left the lying page long time ago..

Tell the yoruba boy running the page to snap more ijebu women.

A 19 year old youngman is an adult. He should be punished for his crimes.




I have never slept with anyone below 21 years.

majamajic:
Paedophilic sexual exploitation , between 19 and 16 ?

Did the sis report a rape issue to the bro , he caught them , not that the sis was shouting for help , so if u caught your sis cousin having quite sex with her fellow teen bf , so u will drag the boy to station ? Did anyone drag u to station during your own time ? Abi no be someone sis u did it with ?

They don't need to bribe the Police.




The Police will detain the House boy and his relatives will come and bail him.

RisenPhoenix:
Lol. You think op is in in Malmö, Sweden?


Even in the UK and most parts of the US, 16 is the minimum age of consent and the houseboy's action is legal. Nigeria has no operating age of sexual consent. The police will laugh them out; unless of course you mean they should bribe their way to inflicting unjust suffering on an innocent boy just to satisfy their 'honour'.

The OP should first report the House boy to the Police.



This will caution him against future paedophilic Sexual exploitation.

majamajic:
Sorry to say , it's a normal sex

Your sister started so much earlier before 18 , since the guy is 19

I don't see any case here

Let's not all feel like saints , she knew what she did

Just caution her , and sack the house boy

African demons are sometimes visible.

GboyegaD:
It seems automated to me and I do not think demons re visible to the eyes.

In this present age, waist beads are almost exclusively worn by OLOSHOs.

Fake news.


The real Forbes don't make this kind of categorization.

Have you seen any political party that rule for 8 years and allow itself to just be defeated like this?

gidgiddy:
I think that APC was all about "project Buhari presidency". In 2023, there will be no Buhari and APC is most likely going to field a Southerner after 8 years of Buhari. This means that that APC will no longer be attractive to the North who are hell bent on retaining power in 2023. With Very little support for APC in the North and the SE/SE area, their chances of winning are next to zero

I dont see APC winning the 2023 elections

And this is an educated man?

NgwalandAbia:
If you are coming from any of the afonja land they should quarantine you as soon as possible

Cheer up Lady, there is nothing wrong with you or men.

There are many good guys (even on this Nairaland forum) ready to marry you.

Liliantalks:
i don’t think I am perfect in anyway . But I know i am every man’s dream i know that for a fact , I am willing to learn n grow,,, but that I am everymans dream is not a statement I will ever regret .

Where did you get this misinformation?

LAGOS

With months of preparation, very few Countries have the capacity for total lockdown which is the method prescribed by China in their miraclous recovery.


The speed and effectiveness with which China recovered suggest some forms of prepartions based on anticipated knowledge of the Corona Virus epidemic

pesty100:
it all boils down to this countries that took the virus seriously were able to control it spread while does that didn't are in the mess they caused by their unseriousness

You obviously don't understand me

For the past two years on Nairaland, I have noticed that threads concerning Igbos often extend up to 7-10 pages. Then I began to ask questions in my mind, why this?
These are my observations;

1) Most of the Igbos on Nairaland believe that the Igbos are victims of the Nigerian State and many even believe Igbos are being persecuted in this country. the

2) Because of the reason above, they write many posts that non-igbo Nigerians may find uncomfortable, irritating or even offensive. (This doesn't mean other Nigerians don't open inappropriate threads against the Igbos)

3) Then reactions (mostly negative) from other Nigerians follow, resulting in arguments for and against both sides which is often laced with tribal slurs.

4) As Nigerians, this should worry us deeply.
I as a person, I contribute in the debates in consonance with my conscience (uphold the truths, debunk the lies/propaganda and correct injurious misinformation).

5) I don't hate any tribe because I believe it is unnecessary and a primitive way of thinking.

MelesZenawi:
Exactly samething I am saying

pls explain sir

Excuse me sir

pardon sir.


When you are seen in other threads to answer your question will be easy with less suspicion.

Trolling?



Pls explain sir

MelesZenawi:
What you are acting doesn't fit you.

Stop that trolling attitude on every Igbo thread. it is irritating if you don't know.

Okay , I have heard you.

MelesZenawi:
This man that is only seen on every Igbo thread preaching that tribes be abolished and everyone to be referred to as Nigerian.


You never tire to carry such message around. One Nigeria is a crime and threat to humanity.

But Government is the largest buyer of Innoson vehicles.

Roon9:
Hmm... If Innosson is granted quarter the monopoly and government grants that dangote enjoys he'd be 10 times richer and much more useful than Dangote to the Nigerian economy as it were

Bros, how you dey?


But some people on Nairaland are saying you are a Northerner.

MelesZenawi:
Ndigbo si na Uzodimma, aga ya ugboro abuo..

Hope will go again in 2023...

With the way Hope started he will deliver as the best Governor Imo state has collectively produced.

You don't understand my point.


1) Different ethnic groups can (indeed do) coalesce into one bigger ethnic.

This was how Igbo, Yoruba, Nupe ,Fulani emerged in the first instance.

2) 400 years ago, there were no Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo or Ijaw ethnic groups as we know them today and in 400 years time, many tribes would have been assimilated into a larger pan ethnic one.

This was the same way the Biblical Amalekites, the Hittites and the Jebusites were absorbed into the emerging Israelites and the Amonites, Moabites, Edomites and the Ishmaelites all coalesced into the Arab pan ethnic group.

3) My post is NOT whether Nigeria is working or not.
It's NOT about whether we should continue as Nigeria or disintegrate.




#Personally, I am of the opinion that unity can NOT be enforced. Those who don't want to be part of Nigeria should be allowed to leave.

gidgiddy:
The sane Britain you are using as an example still has Scots, English, Welsh and Irish as its recognized indigenous ethnic nationalities

The same Britain you using as an example is made up of ethnic enclaves called Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland

The same Britain you are talking about gave Northern Ireland and Scotland referendum in 1971 and 2014 respectively

Nobody in Nigeria is going to abandon their ethnic nationalities for some super-ethnic group. For one thing, it cannot work. We are all different people. Are we going to also have a Super-religion to bring Muslims and Christians together? Are we also going to have a super-culture to bring all the cultures together? It is impossible

What we should do is what Britain did and give those who want a referendum a chance to choose between Nigeria and independence. Personally, I think that Nigeria is a disastrous British colonial experiment that has since failed woefully. That the British brought us all together does not mean we must all die together. Let us all come to the reality that Nigeria is unworkable. Let a referendum be held so that the people can decide if they want to continue with Nigeria or not. Thats even more important than the unity of Nigeria

It has nothing to do with the Yoruba or Bini Agenda.

That was how every major ethnic group (including Igbos) emerged.I am surprised that you don't know this simple anthropological fact.



In 1675, there was no Igbo, Yoruba or Ijaw ethnic groups as we know them now.

hammer0:
PAZIENZA TAKE NOTE OF THE BOLDED.


I KNEW THEY WERE UP TO SOMETHING.


LEAVE KANO OUT OF THIS.


THIS IS A YORUBA AGENDA.

You must be mistaken me for another person.


Families and ethnic groups are inappropriate analogies and even at that you can chose your family sir.



The only reason the Ngwa and ezza people are regarded as one with the Nri people is because they accept it and they have the rights to do so. Those who resist this tag also have the right to do so.

It doesn't personally affect anybody or groups. I

hammer0:
[s][/s]


This is the nonsense u wrote yesterday that wen i corrected u, u start calling mods like a two year old child.


Can u choose to be black?


Can u choose your family?


If the answer is know then ethnicity is non-negotiable.

What is happening in Lagos and to some extent in Kano are prototypes of what will happen in Nigeria in the next 150 years when most tribes would have merged into fewer super ethnic groups.

hammer0:
I WONDER IF WE WILL BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION, HAD IKWERE BEEN ADDED INTO IMO STATE, INSTEAD OF RIVERS STATE.


ANOTHER ONE IS UNFOLDING IN LAGOS, WHERE YORUBA ARE AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING MARRIAGE WITH IGBOS BY FIRE BY FORCE, I DONT KNOW WHETHER THE IGBOS WILL SAY THEY ARE SLEEPING.


THE RESULT WILL SOON BE OUT IN A COUPLE OF YEARS TIME.


BLOOD MIXING WITH EVERY TOM, DICK AND HARRY.


THEY ARE NOW TREATING MARRIAGE LIKE THEIR INVESTMENT IN PLACES THEY ARE FOREIGNERS AND DEY CAN ASK THEM TO LEAVE ANYTIME.


NDI ARA!

These your suggestions are very laughable.

The well educated, widely traveled and matured Men in Aka Ikenga or Ohaneze Ndigbo can't make this kind of statements.

1) Ethnic groups I Nigeria especially the big ones were created by the BRITISH and they aren't into water tight compartments.

2) It's difficult to say for instance, where Kanuri ends and Manga starts.
Where do Ishan/Bini end and Igbo begins?
Where does Ikwerres ends and Igbo begins?

Where does Ogu (Egun) people ends and Yorubas start?

They are many towns/clans in between that clearly overlap or are mixture of both sides (e.g Opobo= Igbo+ Ijaw).


3) Many people we now call Hausas are actually agglumerations of several related and unrelated tribes/clans BUT they have accepted the Hausa tag.

Hausa just like the term ARAB is now a super ethnic group.





4) In reality, smaller groups find it easier to asssimilate into larger groups especially in African Countries where Tribal identications are used as basis of sharing resources and giving previledges.

pazienza:
At the bold. And what do you think I have been trying to do?
We allowed them to enjoy playing the game, by keeping the door of Igbohood open to them.
So they can cunningly come in at their volition and claim Igbo when conditions are right, and also sneak out to claim non Igbo when conditions are not favorable.

Common sense dictates that we deal with them first and foremost, before we start talking about Hausa-Fulanis. Hausa-Fulanis would not be playing the game without Ikwerre and their co travellers co-operation.

How we deal with them is to make the Igbo ethnicity a tight one, by ensuring that there would be no place for Ikwerres within the Igbo ethnic nationality. We simply ban Ikwerre sons from taking part in Igbo gatherings, we send any of them in our midst back to Ogbakor Ikwerre, and we send strong warnings through print media and social media to any opportunist Ikwerre that ever tries to claim Igbo, like Amaechi once did. We make it a point of duty to imprint on the mind of all Ikwerres that they will no longer be accepted in Igbo gatherings and they will no longer be allowed to claim Igbo at any point in time.

It's time we started looking out for ourselves. We will no longer be anyone or group "shock absorber".

You are still making the same mistake.



1) You can NOT determine who is an Igbo and who shouldn't be Igbo.


Igbos are those who accept to be Igbos (irregardless of their ancestries or historical extistence).

Non-Igbos are those who refuse to embrace the Igbo tag.

Every group decide where they want to belong.

2) Ethnic groups are NOT constant, they change with TIME.


Yorubas, Hausa and Igbos as we know them today are created by the BRITISH colonial Masters who categorized tribes/clan that they (the British) think are similar in ancestries, culture or already under common political authorities /influence (e.g The Oyo Empire and the Sokoto Caliphate).

Any group that like the category can stay and stick to it. Those who aren't comfortable with it can opt out.

pazienza:
They are not exactly the same.
There was never a time Itsekiri identified as Yoruba in the past, they have always been a distinct ethnic group. Likewise Urhobo and Isoko.

A better illustration would have been Ijebu -Yorubas, Urhobo-Okpe, Idoma-Igede.

And no! The average Ikwerre man exhibit a deep seated loathe and hostility towards the Igbo, yet they want to be Igbo when it's expedient, that has to stop. Everyone has to bear their father's surname. Every single Ikwerre has to be Ikwerre and remain Ikwerre forever, at no point should they be admitted into Igbo gatherings as Igbos or allowed to claim to be Igbos in public, such claims should be met with severe warnings and hostility from Ndiigbo to such Ikwerre person or group. That's how we restore sanity.

Make everyone dey their dey.

1) Believing that pants of ladies can transform them to millionaire overnight.

2) The intoxicating level of Tribalism on Nairaland.

3) Believing that Buhari has died, was buried in Saudi Arabia and Jubrin from Sudan was brought to replace him.

4) Believing that ATIKU IS CUMMING based on the 'INEC server results'

Excuse me sir,

Ethnic group is SELF IDENTITY and it's largely by choice.


There are many people who now accept the Hausa ethnic tag but were not originally Hausas. The same goes for Yoruba and Igbo ethnic groups.

They were classifications done by the British colonial Masters to group tribes/clans which the BRITISH considered similar as one ethnic group.

Those who accept these tags (e.g the Ngwa, AroChukwus, Nzam) and remain loyal to the group are counted as parts of the groups but those who want to opt out are not necessarily bad but different people (e.g Isoko, Itshekiri, Ikwerres etc)


I have met some people who speak Yoruba fluently, eat Yoruba food and practice Yoruba culture, who I also assumed to be Yorubas but once told they are not Yoruba but independent minority groups in Northern parts of Kwara and some parts of Edo State.

hammer0:
I think we may be misunderstanding the NigerDelta union to be something cultural.

These people all speak different language but have subscribe to the Nigerdelta union.

They do live in a different region called SS, as opposed to Igbo SE.

I think it is time to call a spade a spade.

Do they speak Ijaw? If no, then they are not Ijaw.


This is the samething we are saying with the Ikwere.


Ethnicity is not a matter of choice but a matter of facts.


Pazienza we need to have laid down criteria for accessing these things, so we dont make mistake.

Excuse me sir,

What if marriage with the ugly Afonja is what God has in plan for that Nwanne?

hammer0:
We must sought out Igbo marriage arrangement.

Alot of our people are single becos we have no arrangement since after Biafra war that our grandfathers had.

We cannot marry ugly afonja and be calling ikwere our brothers.

We have to marry our own.
