all these stats are nonsense. so you mean if you combine every single university in Anambra State, school like UNIZIK, Madonna University , Federal Polytechnic, Oko etc. There are only 7 professors? Next topic.

OP I don't understand what you're trying to say, but all the south east state times 3 ( × 3 ) is still not up to the size of Niger state land mass.

So why are they giving land for free to the herders in the South East , if Niger State is 3x larger than the South East?

This is Northern Nigeria. If you want to understand the level of hunger in Nigeria see it for yourself.

No region is spared of this hardship, this video highlights the level of hopelessness in the land, struggling this much just to feed. Nahhh! 💔

Do we need to ban social media? Or start importing food? Will the AFCON final victory cool peoples heads? Is inflation the cause of this?

Kushites:
The problem is not a 'weak' currency. The problem is low wages.

So Ignorance is the reason why people disagree on this website. I thought it was tribalism

....

Biodun556:
Apart from those who genuinely need dollars to buy goods and pay school fees abroad.

Nigerian politicians convert billions of naira they stole to dollars to make it portable. Some Nigerians also change the naira to dollars for show off at parties. These are they people who denied those who need dollars to do legitimate business

Sigh.... It's not an obsession with dollars, it's just a way of showcasing how the naira has lost its value over time. When a currency dramatically loses its value, it means that people can not save ... Here is an explanation

Let's say I'm a content creator in Nigeria. How will I be able to buy the tools required for making content. In the globalized world no country produces everything, you have to buy things that are being produced outside the country. A weak currency makes it difficult to purchase things.

Did I lie?

Thats why I advise my brothers to JAPA if possible, because the idiots voting/ running this country no get sense. They dont care if the country falls apart.

That's what I'm trying to say. His mother seems possessive. Even his uncles that he met were all from the mother's side.

seems like the father was possessive also. They should have just taught the kids BOTH languages. Easy solution.

flokii:
I guess you won't mind Peter Obi's kids opening school for kids in Anambra to learn Ibibio abi na Efik he (Obi) go marry..

Go through the thread and you'll find where a NLer pointed it out that the guy mentioned in his documentary that his Igbo mom was always frowning whenever they try to speak Yoruba.. I can confirm this bad habit among Igbo women married to our men because I have witnessed several scenarios like that.. Like why will you go and marry from a tribe you can't stand their language and culture?

In that same video he said his father would be mad whenever the mom speaks igbo. Seems like they were not able to embrace BOTH cultures - which would have been an EASY fix.

Why would you marry a woman and not want her to speak her language to her children? both of them should have compromised.

flokii:
This one is another Chinedu in the making.. he left his father side (Yoruba) to open school to teach language of his mother side (Igbo) in a Yoruba State (Lagos)..

Watch all inter-tribal marriages between Yorubas and Igbos.. if the husband is Yoruba, the wife (Igbo) will make it a duty to teach the kids Igbo language and give them Igbo names in addition to their Yoruba names, then the docile Yoruba men will be there lost and helpless.
But let it be Igbo man that married Yoruba woman.. the Igbo man will make sure the kids bear only Igbo names and identify as Igbo. Same thing with Hausas.

I don't know why Yorubas are like that.. too dull, docile infact all the words to qualify weak can be ascribed to our men. Shioor!

Why are you making this tribal. Isn't it called MOTHER TONGUE. Everyone knows kids tend to speak their mother's language and tend to be close to mom since dad tend to work hence the term MOTHER TONGUE.

Preferito:
I watched the documentary and I didn't feel good when he said that his mum always frown at them whenever they try to speak Yoruba at home but she was cool with them speaking Igbo. His father is Yoruba while his mother is Igbo. But that doesn't mean that she should shield them from learning their father's culture.

The father was upset when the mom would teach Igbo also. Inter tribal marriages should teach kids both languages and cultures. Inter tribal marriages are the key to ONE NIGERIA <3

Guys please dont make this tribal. Everyone knows kids tend to speak their mother's language and tend to be close to mom hence the term MOTHER TONGUE.

Mrexcell:
If this is ur argument then the nnpcl and all multi national oil companies also deserves to have all their headquarters in their core operational base in the niger delta

That will never happen. So keep on yapping.

Nonnyflex:
Can they in the same spirit move nnpc and other oil related companies to the Niger delta....cos that's where the traffic( oil) is...until then ....

You know they will NEVER do that.

In fact they would rather Nigeria burn down than to do that

Rolings:
This doesn't apply to the military

dey play. When you are seriously ready to improve nigeria, LMK

Rolings:
See MOST military don't rush to admit these things even if it seems obvious at first..... They will thoroughly investigate before concluding for 2 reasons
1. So innocent won't be punished
2. Offender don't go unpunished.

And it's a psychological win for the terrorists if the army is painted in bad light that's why military usually withhold or deny such information that's negative.

IDF was forced to me mentioning Casualties figures in Gaza because IDF don't want to ceasefire and is also denying suffering heavy casualties and at the same time gagging doctor in public hospitals .....the Israeli media seeing dead and wounded stream into Israel daily couldn't keep quiet anymore so IDF was forced to be announcing casualties even though the figures are heavily supressed

Imagine a child is failing in school. He doesnt want his parents to be upset because his parents friends children are passing so he lies to them that he is actually passing but his teacher hates him.
Then the child continues to fail in school for the next 10 years.
Is the child helping the parents or is he destroying himself?

Rolings:
Please what's going on in the middle belt.

Me I don't think its ethnic cleansing.

Why would an ethnic group be so lame to be allowing strangers to their lands destroy them.
It's waaay beyond ethnic cleansing....it has economic connotation and indigenes of fhe area that has mineral deposits are usually the first to lay claim of entitlement. Sometimes Their traditional rulers sell mining rights to these people , sometimes they have business disagreement which leads to ugly attacks at times.
The latest plateau attacks in December was carried out by criminals who want to have access to the minefields .
Crosscheck all I've said

All I know is, whatever is going on there hasn't been a solution and people would rather hide it and pretend it's not going on then address it because then they would have to fix it.

Similar to how witnesses claimed that a nigerian army helicopter was shot down in Niger state but nigerian goverment was quick to say it was a crash.

Only they know what they are benefitting by spinning the story. But again you have to fix the issue instead of just hiding it because the truth will come out eventually

paxx:
The first goal is to pretend it didn't happen.
The second goal is to say it was a mistake by someone they can throw off the bus


They will never admit that it was done by you know what. Because if they do, then people will expect them to do something to stop it from happening again.

dey play.

think about it? how long did they deny what was going on in the middle belt? and to this day it still hasn't been solved. They would rather hide it, then allow it to be public and then people will want them to fix it.

Dreambeat:
This is serious. I am sure the government is doing everything at this point to spin the narrative instead of doing thorough investigation to ascertain the cause of this tragedy and how to prevent recurrence

The first goal is to pretend it didn't happen.
The second goal is to say it was a mistake by someone they can throw off the bus


They will never admit that it was done by you know what. Because if they do, then people will expect them to do something to stop it from happening again.

dey play.

u cant compare Anambra to Ogun state. any igbo man who does this is a fool.

Raskimonojendor:
Yoruba own egusi.

Ibo dictionary below says it's a loaned word from Yoruba.

lmao you cant even spell igbo correctly, obviously that dictionary and any dictionary u are using is nonsense

we igbos love Amala. and we dont want to claim it. we know how to enjoy other peoples culture without claiming it. unlike some people who cant stand the fact that igbos invented egusi.

NaMe4:
I know Fulanis who speak Igbo fluently.



I was buttressing your point. But the fact remains speaking the language does NOT make them Igbo. And they cannot be forced to be Igbo because they speak the language.

did anybody force fubara to learn fluent igbo better than many native speakers? u guys lack understanding, stay out of our business

NaMe4:
I know Fulanis who speak Igbo fluently.

and those people are friends to the igbo race. WHY IS THAT UR BIGGEST PROBLEM? Your children have no food to eat, but you are angry at Igbos. I dont understand why these people are children of hate
