If you have something to say, say it to me. The problem with Nigerians is that we want everybody to think the way we do without considering that there are social, economic, religious and educational differences between Nigerians. I have never come out to show any form of support to Kanu even though i understand his grouse with the federation. Show me any freedom fighter or a supposed hero in the past that was perfect? Is it Mandela? Ghandi? It's one thing to be conciliatory with a course being spearheaded by a person and it's another thing to call the person to order when they cross the line.

Some of come off pretending that your only concerned about Kanu and his modus operandi when in actuall fact, you just hate the air that Igbos breathe. How come Uwazuruike that was very subtle and gentlemanly in his disposition was thrown into jail even though he towed the path that some people are advising Nnamdi Kanu to follow - DIALOGUE.

So, my dear it's really not about Kanu for some of you. It's your perpetual hate for a part of this country and you can keep telling yourselves lies to help you sleep at night.

I am pro Biafra but I simply cannot go with KANU on this. I fear for d unknown. I can't imagine how my people will suffer if state of emergency is declared in Anambra state.

Arthur politically unstable fellow.......For now pdp in body, apc in soul.

Okanokan:
We have said it and we will continue to say it that Sheriff and his co-travellers are averse to real pdp, therefore the empty shell of the pdp should be left for him. Sheriff lacks the intellectual capacity to mount a virile opposition against the Apc as a party, for the opposition to thrive the real pdp should move to the Sdp instead of wasting its time with Sheriff.

Does that even make any sense?

What a bunch of uncoordinated illiterates.

Why do these guys keep embarrassing Igbos?

" I came across a writup on the naming system of
the Anioma people on Facebook (Proudly Anioma
group) and I decided to share it here so that
everyone can be educated on Anioma onomastics.
See it below:"

Mischievous OP can't even bring himself down to mention the fact that the thread was culled from a group called "Proudly Anioma, Proudly Igbo", notice he stopped at "Proudly Anioma", while deliberately omitting the "Proudly Igbo" part of the group. Such is the character of the OP.

You Think his omission of the Igbo there was unintentional, but those of us in this field, know better.

This is a running list of the promises President Trump made on the campaign trail, and has kept in his 73 days in office, 1/41 of his presidency. Barely any of them have been reported on because of this bullshit Russia conspiracy that is swallowing the MSM. He has literally "Done more in 73 days than Obama did in 8 years." This is not only a running list of promises he has kept so far, but also things he has done that weren't even promised on the campaign trail. MAGA.

PROMISES MADE AND KEPT SO FAR:

Campaign Promise 1: To replace Antonin Scalia with a like-minded justice from a list of 20

The Nomination of Neil Gorsuch who is one of the most qualified people ever nominated to the SCOTUS. And before the opposition says "but, Merrick Garland" tell them to look up up the Biden Rule

Campaign Promise 2: To suspend immigration from terror-prone countries

Trump has attempted to enact a Travel Ban that is 100% CONSTITUTIONAL AND is made from the seven (six, now) "countries of concern" outlined by the Obama Administration. This has been blocked by an extremely liberal Hawaiian judge who was appointed by Obama. (The blocking of this travel ban might piss me off more than anything that has happened during his presidency, because judges should be blind to politics, but that is proving to be false.) Hopefully this will go to the Supreme Court and be overturned quickly.

Campaign Promise 3: To defund and crack down on sanctuary cities

Trump has implemented a YUGE crackdown on sanctuary cities, threatening to defund them

Campaign Promise 4: To revive the Keystone Pipeline and Dakota Access Pipeline

The revival of the Dakota and Keystone XL Pipelines creating American jobs

Campaign Promise 5: To pull the US out of the TPP, an Obama-era trade deal detrimental to the US

Trump pulled us out of the TPP which would have been absolutely disastrous for the US

Campaign Promise 6: DONALD TRUMP LOVES WOMEN AND WANTS TO HELP WOMEN!

Trump has signed an Executive Order promoting women in STEM jobs (careers real feminists strive for, not "dance therapy" feminists)

Trump has Launched a Council empowering female leaders and female entrepreneurs

Campaign Promise 7: To renegotiate, or pull out of Bill Clinton's terrible trade deal, NAFTA

Trump met with Justin Trudeau (what a joke) to discuss the tweaking of NAFTA to benefit the US more, after he threatens to leave it

Campaign Promise 8: To undo ridiculous Obama-era federal agency regulations

Trump ordered a two-for-one repeal for all new regulations enacted by federal agencies

Campaign Promise 9: To rollback Obama-era regulations on small businesses

Trump has rolled back ridiculous Obama-era regulations that have made it nearly impossible for small businesses to hire employees

Campaign Promise 10: To help America's inner-cities deeply in need of rebuilding

Trump has signed an Executive Order to give major funding to "Historically Black Colleges and Universities," helping out inner-cities immensely

Trump's EPA granted $10 million to aid the Flint, Michigan water crisis

Campaign Promise 11: To protect our policemen, the true everyday heroes

Trump signed an Executive Order protecting our police

Campaign Promise 12: To crackdown on illegal immigration and to BUILD A WALL

Trump has implemented a YUGE crackdown on illegal immigration and he has started the WALL initiative

Campaign Promise 13: To bolster our depleted military

Trump has increased our military budget because we don't want to use our military, but want to be prepared to use it

Campaign Promise 14: To enact a five year lobbying ban on government Officials after they leave office

Trump has placed a five year and lifetime lobbying ban on government officials for when they leave office

Campaign Promise 15: To crackdown on drug cartels and illegal drugs crossing the border

Trump signed an Executive Order cracking down on drug cartels

Campaign Promise 16: To revitalize the dying coal industry in the US

Trump has enacted Joint Resolution 38 putting hundreds, if not thousands of coal miners back to work

Campaign Promise 17: To create American JOBS and bring companies back to America

Trump negotiated a deal with Carrier promising to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the US.

Trump has met with CEOs from huge companies to work on bringing jobs back to America

There was an increase of 298,000 jobs in February alone (liberals will say that counts in Obama's fiscal year, but we know the truth)

- Trump met with Intel CEO who promised $7 Billion investment and over 3,000 high paying (not "shovel ready" bullshit jobs) in America

- Trump met with the CEO of Softbank who has promised 50,000 more American jobs and has already fulfilled 3,000 of those jobs

-Kroger has promised over 10,000 new jobs in the era of Trump

Campaign Promise 18: Pushing NATO allies to pay their fair share or face the reality of the US possibly leaving

Trump has put major pressure on the members of NATO to pay their fair and equal share because there are only a handful of countries in NATO who currently pay as much as agreed upon

Campaign Promise 19: To make America energy independent, relieving us from our dependence on foreign entities, such as OPEC

Trump has taken major steps towards America's energy independence

Campaign Promise 20: To enact a hiring freeze on government employees to help stop corruption

Campaign Promise 21: Trump could be the president that takes us to Mars!

Trump signed a Bill allowing NASA funding, including an exploration to Mars

Campaign Promise 22: To undo many of Obama's unconstitutional Executive Orders

Rescinding (one of) Obama's incredibly unconstitutional actions regarding transgender bathrooms in schools

Campaign Promise 23: The repeal and replacement of Obamacare.

The recent GOP fallout of AHCA Plan was no fault of Trump's. The blame solely belongs to Speaker Ryan. He created a shit bill and couldn't even capitalize to get enough votes. Obamacare will crash in 2017 when individual mandates kick in and Democrats will be to blame. That is when Trump will truly work to Repeal and Replace it with a plan he promised us.

Trump got rid of the idiotic penalty in Obamacare that fines you if you choose not to participate in the program

Campaign Promise 24: To "Bomb the shit out of ISIS"

He called for a drone strike in Afghanistan killing Qari Yasin, a Pakistani Al-Qaeda leader

Campaign Promise 25: To not take a salary as President

He donated his first quarterly salary to the National Park Service


ACTIONS NOT PROMISED ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, BUT HAVE BEEN PUT IN EFFECT:

1) (Even though it was Mike Pence) The defunding of clinics that perform abortions. Because no matter whether you are pro-choice/pro-life, the government should not be funding abortions. (Also, if people bring up the Hyde Amendment which is supposed to not let any federal funding go towards abortions, LET THEM KNOW that US taxpayers pay for about 24% of abortions despite of that "amendment"

2) Huge spikes in the NASDAQ average index and the DOW average index starting November 8th. (This will count for Obama unfortunately, but we know where the real credit belongs.)

3) He has placed sanctions on Iran after they tested ballistic missiles

4) He has met with/talked to over 30 foreign leaders.

5) Trump has moved on to tax reform, lowering taxes for Americans

6) He negotiated down the Price of the new Air Force One one billion dollars in a meeting that lasted just one hour

7) The major cuts to the costs of the F-35 saving billions

kushsy:
Out of desperation i bring this to naira land.

M brother had two kids from a lady they lived together for about 8years. After they met he lost his job and fell ill .

Somehow issues started when he could no longer do anything for his family. In our own little way we Assisted but not enough. She pays the rent, schools fees and all. I give her credit for this, not been easy at all.

The issue now is my brother moved out the house for almost a year now and she won't allow him visit or see his kids. She changed their school and moved them out of her house to a different location.

Recently they came for holidays and someone informed my brother who went to visit them but it resulted into a scuffle. She is bent on sending him to jail.. She accused him of kidnapping his own kids. My problem is he has no job, too broke to even fight back and we the family don't really want to get involved. They are in court.

I suspect the human right agency involved in the case are favoring her because of the circumstances...

LordReed:
What I can't fathom is all the excitement about someone doing their job. The WH senior intelligence officials have always requested for unmasking when they felt it was necessary to understand the intelligence report. Secondly unmasking is not automatic neither is it granted by Obama or anyone in the WH. The unmasking request is scrutinized by the IC before being granted and is well documented. If someone was using this process to do something illegal the person was an idiot.

LordReed:
You don't even understand what the process of unmasking entails, if you did you won't be writing all this nonsense.

Connections to Hillary's campaign? LoL. I suppose you are talking about pizzagate or is it uranium 1? LoL. And you keep shouting fake news meanwhile you regurgitate the fakest of news.

I no read the trash before I know say na afonjaic write up.

Pathetic afons..

Lucas has been reminding us of how totally deluded he has been till date. The electoral map, county by county, says it all - What a landslide victory, and he is here ranting like he's about to die.

Nonsense?
I doubt. I thought the boss in question was a MAN? Who should have known better?
Why do guys chosed to crucify the woman and not the man? Why not crucify both of them same way?

Dear NLs,
Good day all. I need your immediate advise on an issue. I have been suspecting my wife lately. This is someone I have never suspected since we got married since 2010. We have 2 kids. My wife actually works in one of the government agencies.

I have never suspected my wife but in recent times I'm beginning to doubt my wife. I called to have a conversation with her which she took personal and led to serious fight between us.

The main issue is this. I recently saw a screenmunched picture of whatsapp conversation between my wife and her boss in which my wife was asking for money from her boss and that if he gave her the money she would have sex with him. Just to corroborate this point, I had a laptop that I was not using, recently I logged on to it and I saw my wife's google search on the following: " My regrets after having sex with my boss", "how to relate with my boss after slepping with him"

Fellow Nairalanders, I'm very devastated but I need your advise on how to handle this with her.

See a clown talking. My opposition to trump is minimal here. Google Chicago Sun Times or Chicago Tribune and see the kind of opposition there too including yours truly. You live in a despotic led country and I do not expect you to know what a civilized opposition is all about. It's people like you that makes the leadership in Nigeria lord it over you since they give you and your ilks the crumps that falls off their tables. We don't worship our leaders here, we critique them to make them better. That's the difference between Western World and a Third World. Get that into your brain.

That is why I always allude to your ignorance about the happenings in America. I am not an interloper here and my family and I have a big stake in America unlike you and your fellow carpet baggers. April 15 is around the corner and my wife and I would have paid Tens of Thousands of $ to IRS in taxes. That alone gives me a reason to voice my opinions about my country. I ain't a transplant here. I know you can't comprehend that but the bottom line is that you have absolutely no stake in here except your little 1.000 Naira data you spend to validate yourself.

Lucasbalo:
Coming from a guy who never left his village, that must be a compliment to Liberals and Progressives all over America . We have reasons to be concerned about a worthless leader and that's why we are voicing our opinions so that America won't be a Third World run by despotic leader like some country we know of. It's easy for people like you who don't know how life is here to make stupid statements. You are forgiven for your ignorance.

mojeer678:
Why are you wasting your time? They're confused nah!

The reason why Liberals have become so confused:

AnuforoIK:

LoveDecay:
The East I know is pungent with tribalism and sectional-sectionalism.. i.e forming sections in sections (clannish).

If giving land to settlers proves Ibo people are tolerant; then they are not more tolerant than westerners or northerner's regardless of religious uprisings.

What is happening in the east today.. which proves that the east is tolerant. As of today, the east is the least tolerant ethnic group in this country.

The present call for Biafra proves this point. It is a lack of tolerance that led to the first war and it is still this lack of tolerance that motivates IPOB and it's followers, it is the fuel that drives their propaganda.

The great city of Onitsha .. also proves the lack of tolerance of the east. The word "Onitsha" translate to "intolerance", "segregation".

LordReed:
LoL, pot calling kettle black. Read and educate your Stockholm Syndrome frozen brain:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/517458/

Amid the tumultuous end to his first month in office, President Donald Trump got a piece of long-awaited good news: After more than a decade of hold-ups in court, his application to trademark his name in China was finally approved.

The court case long predates Trump’s run for president. He has been fighting to wrest control of his brand in China for more than a decade against entrepreneurs who have marketed products under his name—or, as some claim, just the word “trump,” with no intent to refer to the famous businessman-turned-politician. The February 15th ruling, though not yet a decisive victory, gives the Trump Organization the sole rights to use the president’s name for construction purposes, which could open the door to further decisions in his favor on some 49 pending trademarks and 77 previously registered trademarks on a wide range of products that could come before the court in the near future. And, as The Washington Post observed, the Chinese court’s decision does not necessarily mean that the Trump Organization will be imminently expanding into China; rather, it simply means that Trump will be able to stop other developers or entrepreneurs within the country from using his name on their buildings or products.

May you be delivered from your captor. LoL

Lucasbalo:
The bottom line is that trump is enriching himself and his family with his ascendancy to the president which it is not supposed to be. Every president in the history of US always put into Trust Blind their businesses upon being elected to the Presidency. Trump is the only exception and he's wrong. We have had so many wealthy people as Presidents and none violated the Emoluments law as Trump is doing. The difference between you and LordReed is that he's open to the Rules of Laws and you are used to your leaders running roughshod over you. Americans do not elect him to boost his business empire. They elected him to run America and so far he's been an abject failure.

LordReed:
LoL, I guess getting all the Trump trademarks registered in China ( which he was unable to get for the past 10 years) is in the interest of the US as well as all the money the Secret Service has to pay in New York and Mar-a-Lago to his facilities.

....

... In China, a registered trademark is initially valid for 10 years. Most of Trump’s 77 marks in use will be up for renewal in the last year of his term, in 2020.

Lucasbalo:
LordReed, facts doesn't matter to Trump's followers. They are cult members who worship him for no rational reasons. Their case remind me of Rev. Jim Jones who led over 900 members of his church to drink that Kool Aid that led to their deaths in Jones Town, Guyana. Hence the Kool Aid . Our friends here are not different from the gullible fools Jim Jones sent to their earlier deaths. There's nothing you can say to make them not follow Trump because Trump's scam is working big time on them.
