It goes to show the importance of Benin. Write anything, no matter how absurd and nonsensical, just add Benin to it, you get noticed.

After telling us that Oba of Benin use to pay homage to Nri, the Op showed us a photo with the inscription Oba Nri, a woman and a man standing, is the attached photo evidence of the visitation of Oba of Benin to Nri? If yes whom amongst the man and woman on the photo was the Oba of Benin that visited Nri, if no, what relevance was the photo to the story Op is telling?

that was why I Said that OP had a very bad night. A person who had a good night rest will not wake up and make such a nonsensical, incoherent and uneducative post filled with alot of lies just to get unnecessary attention.

Truthshots:
This nri story has to be the joke of the century.
The trend amongst Nigerian ethnic biggots, be it Yoruba or Igbo and sometimes even northerners, is to make claims about Benin in order to grow prestige for themselves.


One little thing: in 1913 the Oba of Benin was in exile. You guys are trying to lie like Yoruba, but you didn't even do your research first.
All these story-story usually fall apart when anybody asks for proof.

always ignore nonsense like this post when u see it. That is exactly what I always do. Anybody who had a bad night like OP can wake up and create a rubbish post like this.

The Holy bible clearly summarised this govt with just one verse in proverbs 29:2 which is " when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice, but when the wicked bears the rule, the people mourn".
Everywhere u go across the country, one common factor u see is mourning, that summarises the kind of leaders we have

The most difficult crime to solve as a leader are those perpetuated by family members, friends, people from the same ethnic group or religion. When your own blood commits crime just like the Fulanis are doing with disregard, it puts the president in a dilemma, whether to be loyal to his oath or to his relatives with whom his life will continue after leaving office . But the president being the kind of person he is, will always choose the second option which involves being loyal to the terrorists .

So says the chief negotiator, the chief advocate, the spokesperson of bandits, the whole world is watching this abomination

My love for apartments surrounded mostly by large, transparent glasses instead of blocks is indescribable. Just seeing this living room in the apartment with its transparent glasses is creating butterflies in my stomach

They shared govt's land among themselves when they were in power. Obaseki is simply taking back govt's land from these criminals.

The differences between Nigeria and the other countries u mentioned are very many. A few of the reasons are:
1. Other countries' govts don t openly defend and protect criminals and terrorists like the Nigerian govt even when evidence abound.
2. There is higher possibilities of criminals being apprehended in other countries than in Nigeria because of higher investment in forensics than in Nigeria. Evidence can even be present without being seen by our security agencies in Nigeria.
3. Some nigerian security officials see every situation as opportunity to make money rather than provide security.
4. U pay for your crime when caught in other countries but only a few cases in Nigeria. We all saw pictures of PMB lifting up APC candidates hand despite corruption cases in court. We see PMB's relationship with Gandollar despite video evidence, he even defended Gandollar that the video was fake .

Very true. Whenever I see well-known Yahoo boys with personal police security details attached to them, i realise how low our security agencies have deteriorated to, some even have military personnel with them

aquadude15:
it seems we are deviating already.
this trend is not about pricing but let me make some clarification.
you can't compare the price of an hunter that goes to the bush and kill a grasscutter with a farmer that breeds them for over 3years.
this price you are stating here, I guess it is the price of a dead grasscutter, but have you put into consideration the size?? I believe you can even buy a grasscutter of 3k, but I am talking here of a non reproductive grasscutter and I belief you should be able to imagine the size.
anyway. I just want to enlighten people about grasscutter farming, other people ideas are welcome and if you have a contact of any person that sells lesser, kindly post the person contact, I would also be willing to patronise the person

in your comment that I respondeded to, u were talking about a processed grasscutter that u got for 18k, is a processed grasscutter not a dead grasscutter? The killer only went ahead to process it and added his expenses that was incurred in the processing, that took the price to 18k. Maybe u even bought it in one of those high-end supermarkets that overinflate their prices.

aquadude15:
kindly drop the contact of the person that sold it to you sir.
we can all benefit from it.
I am willing to patronise the person to

come to uwa market in Benin city very close to tv road, u Will see alot of assorted bushment both fresh or dried.

TheStakeHolder:
Thanks for the comment.
How much does it cost? Like the range of price for each?

within the range of N8000-N10,000 here in Benin city for a dead grasscutter. It is cheaper if u buy directly from the hunters or villagers.

aquadude15:
a colony contains 5 grasscutter, I.e 2males and 3females.
their is nowhere in Nigeria a grasscutter will go for even 10k presently.
since they are hard to comment, it makes the demand high, reason why you get to sell your little grasscutter faster to other farmers willing to buy.
you only sell the aged ones when their reproduction reduces.
I priced a processed Matured grasscutter last month when travelling along osun last month, and the last price I got was 18k.
kindly confirm the price around your vicinity

please stop this exaggeration. This thread is educative but remove the lies. Where in Nigeria is a grasscutter sold for N18,000? Even an antelope that is more expensive doesn't sell for that amount.

RedpillAnalyst:
Lol man said, he never had peace 20 mins peace in 8 years.How bad can that be. I hope you are not just using that as a talking point.

More so, MOM could very well mean Mr. Olowori Mi.

it can also mean "My Own Mumu"

All those years Buhari was contesting and losing elections, he actually had no plans or ideas of how to run government . He kept losing, we never knew that God was doing us a favour until we forcefully demanded for change.

Has there ever been a time discos were giving out metres for free sing Jonathan left? . Our prayers have always been for them to provide new meters and not to resell stolen metres to Nigerians.

Most of our gas are flared into the atmosphere where it contributes to global warming. Our leaders show their wickedness by selling the little that remains very expensively to Nigerians for both industrial and domestic usage.

ScamHunter:
And what makes you think that the majority who view politics as a cash cow would sit around and watch the minority who want to do the right thing to grab power? Is it not this same country where most people lack the foresight to even select sensible people and where your vote mostly do not count? The reality is that this country is irredeemable that those people you're dreaming about stand no chance. Are your honest chaps ready and willing to rig, bribe the police, DSS, INEC and if necessary military and returning officers? You have to understand the hurdles to good governance in this country.

your first comment made it look like every Nigerian youth was into Yahoo, your statement made it look like there were no honest hard working youths. My comment was in response to that.
With respect to your second comment, what u said is true but should we fold our hands and just watch? Isn't it better we try and fail rather than not trying at all?

ScamHunter:
Haaa...that your new generation would be mainly Yahooo boys unless you're importing them from Fernando Po.

I am a part of a young generation of Nigerians that have never done or will even do yahoo. There are other millions out there that are like me. Don't think every youth is into Yahoo. There are still alot of hardworking and honest Nigerians both youth and old within and outside nigeria..

Another chance God forbid!!!. Not when u and the likes of Atiku, Ibori, Igbinedion and the others are still there . Nigeria doesnt need APC. Unfortunately, Nigeria doesnt also need PDP, we need a new generation of young people friendly and nation-building-loyal leaders.

A country that imports even as little as toothpicks, will always have a high unemployment rate. A country that blocks investors from investing in some sectors of the economy because they have given the monopoly to Dangote will always suffer high rate of unemployment. A country whose president supports and defends terrorism will always have high rate of unemployment because investors will be scared of coming. A Country whose economic policies are being managed by unqualified people will always have high rate of unemployment. A country where religion is given higher priority than entrepreneurship/industries will always have high unemployment.

He is still better than our battery-powered president

The man is a hypocrite who is as worse as the devil and hides under the pretense of fighting the buhari-govt but will do worse if given the opportunity. Alot of bad revelations coming from people who have had contact with him, they all cant just be lying. We can't easily forget his treatment of the journalist who asked him a simple question that led to a verbal insult and assault on the journalist.

I didn't bother much about the post, I knew the OP was ignorant.

SmartPolician:
It's okay to keep your entrenched conviction, but GSM is not a failure. The has some of the best policies I have seen from a recent politican. For every governor considered a weakling today, they are so because their hands are tied.

Remember, they swore to keep Nigeria one and that includes allowing Nigerians of other ethnic groups live in their domain. When those settlers start misbehaving, the governors cannot do much because Nigeria runs a federal police. What played out between CP Mbu and former governor Amaechi shows you how useless the governors are if the police refuses to cooperate.

Besides, people who always promote ethic agenda are those who haven't left their enclaves.
Living with people who do not speak your language gives one a different understanding about life. It makes people understand that people are good and bad, and goodness or badness has nothing to do with tribes.

Buhari in the view of the whole world took an oath to keep Nigeria one but the oath has never stopped him from protecting and defending his Fulani terror group, the oath has never stopped him from appointing only his people, the terrorist Ak47 governor also took an oath but it didn't stop him from openly advertising for his terror Fulani group to own AK47 rifles. When it comes to the issue of their own people, the northern leaders don't shy away from defending their people whether by hook or by crook. We have seen northerners openly defending terrorism. Our southern brothers must learn to put their people first, their people have always been there even before Nigeria came to being.

The national cake keeps being shared every second of the day among a handful of Nigerians while many are dying everyday of hunger. Nigerians are made up of cowards who will rather die in poverty than fight for what rightly belongs to them

This is one of the reasons I keep saying that APC equals PDP. Have u all forgotten how Obasanjo arm-twisted opposition party governors into coming to the PDP? Nigeria was almost a one-party state if not for Tinubu who still had control of Lagos State for AD. History always repeats itself because of human failures and weaknesses.

Nobody has knowledge 100%, the problem with the principal is his refusal to learn. U also made a mistake, only u cannot be an "alumni" of a school. "Alumni is plural form of "alumnus" which u should have used in your introduction to the principal.

When "freedom" is excess, some people will do anything.

Focusmind:
The OP is right. Wealth has to be measured per capita. Nigeria is the biggest economy in Africa but when you situate with our huge population, it becomes the poverty capital of the world.

Nigeria economy is 25th largest in the world but when you consider economic development and unproductive population, even the 50th place economies are far better than her. GDP alone is not a proper indicator of wealth but rather GDP per capita.

I agree with u but consider the cases of China and India. They have very large GDPs but they still have some of the poorest populations in the world. A country's wealth May be in the hands of very few individuals even when the country has large gdp.

You are talking about per capita income. Germany that u put in number 15 has a far bigger economy that most of the countries you listed. But because Germany has a larger population than these countries, when u divide the population by the total income/GDP, u find that the per capita income of Germany is smaller than them. Smaller per capita income doesn't mean Germany is poorer than them, it is just the population that is larger.
