PDP is doing well

Actually, white lives matter too

There is nothing wrong with that.. except for the fact that the timing maybe wrong judging by the recent happenings.

However, blacks Should take more responsibility for their position in the scheme of things...

....they must assert themselves globally, not by gathering mere pity from whites, but by becoming increasingly useful in what matters......be it in science and technology, politics, business, pharmaceutical, medicine, sports, etc.

Nobody ever becomes the world ruler by pity...you must fight for it.

Blacks are increasingly becoming relevant.

If a black nation can take over the lead in technology, the whites won't have any Choice than to recognize their arrival and uncontiously grant them their earned status.

Unfortunately, right here in Nigeria we are yet to be able to democratically elect a local government councilor or better still employ a Government secondary school teacher without nepotism.

Until then, we can seek pity all we want.....maybe we get it after someone gruesomely gets murdered like the case of Flyod and afterwards revert to the statuquo.

For the time being let's continue with the "pity technique" as we chant BLACK LIVES MATTER!

Kukah...one of the few fearless men of God who would tell Government to it's face, facts about their monumental incompetence....not the tithe and offering ones who only talk when tithe gathering is hampered

With all the killings, there is no "man of god" that has read it in the news, all of them are encompassed in prayers and perpetualy engraved in fasting that only benefit them. They are all blind to the happenings of this failed entity called Nigeria.......what do they care?

There are unseen political hands who pay and dictate to them the kind of statements they should make......ooh, I almost forgot that 2023 is about the corner and they would have to keep quite no matter how many lives are wasted .......quite a shame

Obaseki may win or not...However, nobody can take away the fighting spirit in him.

If everyone is to succumb to Godfathers as some people do, then you will remain a servant forever.

The difference between giving up and fighting is that in the former you are certain that you are going down but in the later, you are certain that you would either go down or up.....

You see people who always advice you to throw in the towel, stay away from them, they don't mean well for you.

No one ever gave up and made the news, people that gave up always dwindle further until their light goes off completely.

Cry cry baby

There is no empowerment that is more than freedom Nwanne. Get freedom anyhow that works.... sometimes people even go to war to be free.

Without Kanu you would imagine where Igbos may have been relegated. You won't know what is going behind the scene but I assure you that they discuss About the havoc he will orchestrate if they do anything silly.

The Government of this failed country fear and respect him more than any Igbo man alive today (Believe it or not).

Tell me who is more of a disaster , Buhari or Kanu....yet Yoruba people have kept singing his songs because of pure greed. At least some persons in the North protest... you can't get that in the west......so with this kind of scenario you just have to forget alliance and get what you want first.

When you are free and you seek their alliance and they decline, then you move on, after all, they will be inconsequential in general formula of the world....they will need us more than we will ever need them.

Omoslim26:
And you think the best way to go about life is to spawn enemies around you great nations make allies to blossom socioeconomically and sociopolitically your darling Kanu and his plenty miscreants have only ended up being a nuisance to himself and everyone else

great men are not talkatives

great men and leaders make positive impacts

I dare you to publish is achievement and medium for empowerment in Ala Igbo then I will see him as a leader substance

and mind you ipob remains proscribed in igbo land

UDO CHUKWU ABIAMA dirigi

Please yourself Mr. Igbo man. And if I may ask, which tribe do you think are truly your friend And who ever became great by being a friend to all?.....emancipate yourself from collosal social correctness and don't be myopic. If you feel that you have a better strategy why not come out of your cocoon and let's hear you?

Omoslim26:
as an igbo man I would like to have a country of my own

but I am sure dat if God wants the igbos to have biafra it will not be achieved by a drunken noise making porn star whose only pleasure is creating enemity with other tribes

ipob remains proscribed in igboland

Sorry if you think you are older than Methuselah already. Go to my comment and check if I mentioned "principal actors"...do away with sentiments and your reasoning acumen will appreciate. There is nothing like "principal actors" my friend. If you are not the president you are a mere "actor" just as you said.

Concerning history, I am not a regular person you see around who would only know his history when he or she is taught in school....there are alot of things to read free of charge on the internet and history is not excluded.

isthatso:
you are clearly a youth who wasnt around and was never taught history

go and do your reasearch on the 1st republic, the 2nd republic, the principal actors under Obasanjo and the principal actors under GEJ.

Every civilian govt since independence has been a Northern Ibo alliance until 2015

your statement just shows the utter ignorance of the people shouting spewing crap on Nairaland!!

Sorry about that.....it's a phrase to depict in the most lucid way, how unfortunate such line of thought is to every one who wants a better society devoid of tribalism, nepotism and extreme corruption.

luluman:
the phrase " less than any form of mammal" is more of insult. Can't you make a point without insults?

Igbos never failed in politics...they see beyond their nose and desist from associating with failures..they see it right before others imagine it. I love them because irrespective of what comes out of their decision they stick to it. That's how you know a superstar, they are what they say..no sentiments.

Also be reminded that Igbos were never the President, VP, Senate president or even speaker house of rep, so I don't know what you mean by this administration being the only one that Igbos are not part of.

My earnest prayer everyday is that Igbos will someday be free from being attached to a failed system. We are not failures, we are Igbos

isthatso:
The current political arragement is no more a disaster than previous ones in which igbos were involved. If anything more has been done in this administration with limited resources....that is not to say it is a success by any measure. secondly this is the only civilian administration in our history that has not had Igbo represented at the center...and guess what they are the the ones who want to burn the country down because they lost an election. others have lost elections in 1960,63, 79, 83,99,2003,2007,2011 but they didnt go around spreading hate. Never in the history of this country has any losing group brought so much havoc to the country as the igbos have done since they lost by proxy in 2015...except ofcourse in 1966 when they were outfoxed and instead of bidding their time, they sent the country into a war they could not win and ended up in a worse position politically and fiscally than they were before the war.

Ambition is good. In business, in your profession is is a good quality that propels one to success but politics is about compromise., politics is about people..getting along with people, considering other people..... politics is not winner takes it all....that is not a quality the igbos posses. That is why the igbos always fail politically even when they win they sabotage it. because the ibo man is programmed to be no 1. Every trait has a positive and a negative. Ambition/desire to always dominate propels the igbos to success in business but condemns them to failures in politics.

If being ambitious equates to being domineering so be it ...being ambitious is a great quality and every human being should posses it, otherwise such a person won't be any different from lower animals.

The current political arrangement doesn't involve the Igbos and so far has been a disaster.

Igbos simply believe in themselves and that's why they Excel against all odds.

Mediocres always use such words as "domineering, proud, pompous..etc.." to qualify someone who is ahead of them.

I have never seen an Igbo man drag with a Fulani man on his prowess in cattle rearing....so they Excel in areas that they have competitive advantage and that's in entrepreneurship and technology.

isthatso:
No political arrangement can work that involves Igbos. In is the nature of the Igbos to want to dominate and for that reason there will always be conflict.

Best thing is for everyone to go his own way...Oil is not that valuable anymore and it's only about 10% of our GDP!!

You asked a sensible question. Families have issues but at the end of the day we sleep in the same house, wish one another well and fight for each other. That's not the case with this contraption called Nigeria

m140:
Is your own family united?

God bless you my brother. All the time I fly across the oceans I always think of what would happen if we landed on the sea. Of course all the struggles and whatever you think you have would be long forgotten. Life first....

SLAP44:
Which property can be better than our lives?

Emptiness is not noticed in silence.....and every fool remains a genius until they speak

Okoroawusa:
Nnamdi Kanu will not die a good death.

Na me talk am. His death will be so shameful that he will be quickly n hurriedly buried by his kinsmen.


Ajo nwa si owere ba nne ya afo

When I say all the Igbos I expect that only humans should read and understand. Sorry

Okoroawusa:
Every igbo? As in all the igbos in Nigeria? Where n when did you do this your survey?

Ekwensu mia gi onu

You should take pains to read comprehensively what I wrote up there.

I simply said that their property are safer outside the country than anywhere within the country away from SS and SE.

So you are correct by saying that they have alot of investments in Lagos but those investments are not safe....mind you, even the Government are always looking for the slightest reason to cripple businesses run by Igbos.

Iamundisputed:
How many Igbos have properties in the UAE and USA compared to Lagos alone? From Orile- Trade fair- Festac-Badagry, Igbos dominate those areas. Alaba is majorly run by Igbos, computer village has a huge Igbo presence, not to speak of small businesses here and there.

You people just want to kill your people's destiny...

Bros, every Igbo man wants to leave this country....I mean all....the only disagreement among Igbos is how best to go about it.

You people keep shouting properties here and there, what is property compared to true freedom and a better chance at building a lasting and safe property?


The property of Igbos have remained the first point of attack in any regional or religious conflict. They need to have properties where there would be laws to protect them.

The property of an Igbo man in the USA and even UAE are more secured than any of their properties outside of South East and South South of this country.

So shove that property mentality.

Iamundisputed:
Who told this albino that Igbos want an exit? So those with properties and businesses in Lagos should become aliens in their own domain and start being treated as foreigners right?

Nnamdi Kanu is a very selfish human being misleading poor youths cos his father doesn't own a pin outside his village. Ewu!

People who still believe that Nigeria will work somehow with the current arrangements are less than any form of mammal in reasoning.

This country never worked and will never work.

Dissolution remains the best option followed by true federalism, if at all anything should be binding on the regions.

Some people are afraid of being on their own, I don't know why this is so. What are they afraid of? Always attacking people who believe in themselves.

Some people are not brought up to be mediocres and slaves....some were designed to take their destiny into their own hands....

The best that can happen to this country is dissolution and if it doesn't work still, then regions can renegotiate coming back to be one if they so wish.

I am certain that the North, East, South and even West shall be better for it.

There is no unity in this country and there will be non in the next 1million years to come.

He has said more truths than this administration. He has his flaws, plenty flaws but even the politicians that matter listen to him alot. The "presidency" (whatever that means) sometimes reacts to what he says so "presidency" listens to him.

Asides political office holders like Presidents, I think he is one of the individuals that have an enormous influence and followership.

Igbos are Kings and Queens.......But you?....

helinues:
Yeah, it is confirmed, these people are simply clowns..

I know that you are a Yoruba man but no problems .... Let me repeat.... Igbos are generally no ass lickers, we don't give up and we are not SLAVES...it's not pride,it's who they are......if you are a slave accept my deepest sympathy.

Grayoso:
Lol. That's why SE States are nothing to write home about and your Governors are the worst, by a Country mile, in Nigeria. Igbos and delusions of grandeur are 5 and 6.

Even at death a soldier reminds you that he is a soldier......he will fight anything including death.

Stay away from people who prefer to give up than fight to win..... they always draw you to their horrible state.

In as much as I don't support neither Oshiomole nor Obaseki, I make bold to say that serious people should persist until they succeed.....don't chicken out.
Don't be a slave except if you are one

An Igbo man naturally is not a slave. They are wired to achieve great things. Ass licking has never been in their dictionary. It's not pride, it's just who they are.

Yeah. The speed is tremendous. He is doing quite well

erico2k2:
I think he took the three flyovers seriously cos them location were causing untold hardship,I have experienced it 1st hand.

The place is cool, though over crowded especially during celebration periods.

Wike finishes most of his projects. The flyover at Artillery and other locations within PH are nearing completion.

Initially I thought it was going to be the kind of project that take years but look at where we are today.

A "Buhari" cannot be in Aso Rock and all these things would be happening.....Buhari was a Soldier....I doubt if he is there anymore......... things became shittty since Aba Kyari died.

Well done Gburugburu. You have done well.

All these rant are completely irrelevant. Just as someone pointed out, didn't you see Apple and Samsung before you went to buy whatever product you are using? Besides, how are you sure that those companies are not owned by Nigerians or people from another country? You can as well manufacture your own tech gadget and go and sell in China if you are good enough in that. The innoson car in Nigeria isn't being driven by Governors in Nigeria, that doesn't mean that someone somewhere who is a governor cannot drive it simply because Nigerian governors don't drive it. So be object and jettison emotions.

Ekemeze:
This is a lie. please be reasonable. Are u saying xiaomi, samsung etc products are more expensive than tecno, infinix and itel?

You are deranged. 98% certain that you are Yoruba.

Officialgarri:
I know so many people will come for me if this post makes FP.

But shouldn't we really ask ourselves... Why do we hardly see Westerners or Northerners being maltreated in other countries?
Why are they not accused of theft, fraud, e.t.c?

If we say it's witch-hunting, then how have other tribes escaped witch-hunting in other countries?

Let me say that I have been in your boss shoes before and I can quite relate.

I had a similar experience. I took people who work in the production chemistry lab on a safety course ; how to manage some of the chemicals especially the solvents.

After one week, one of the employees approached me that she was reacting to toulene (chemical used in water content in crude).

I noticed that it was probably a combination of fear and inappropriate use of PPEs. I told her that if she can't work with solvents then she might have to be relived of her job, meanwhile, we are substituting toulene with xylene for the mean time to see how she fared.

I asked the supervisor to get toulene and label it xylene which he did. I asked the young lady to come and do some work using the supposed "xylene". I ensured that she utilized appropriate PPEs.

I watched her carry out the test till the end and nothing happened. I asked her to observe herself and report back to me. After several trials she came to tell me that she was fine with xylene , no reactions observed.

I explained to her that she has been working with toulene the entire time and since she hasn't noticed any reaction she would have to continue. But she should report to me if she notices any further reaction.

And that was the end of the story of her reacting to toulene. She never complained again. I'd use it as joke and everyone would just laugh.

So Mr. Man, kindly be sure that you use the PPEs appropriately.

If the reaction persists, honestly demonstrate that you would want to work if not for the reaction. Don't go and start doing strong head.
Someone was talking about going to your employment letter and taking the case against your company Don't even bother because there is always this suttle clause in the letter that says "...and any other role as maybe assigned to you...."... Resolve your matter amicably sir.

Judging from your account, you left the work and never updated your boss until he asked you.....

you didn't employ yourself fella and no one wants to employ you and then you select what to do and what not to do.

I wish you luck. It isn't easy but it's well

PhenomenalAustin:
I'm sorry for bothering you all but please hear me out.

I'm posting this on behalf of my uncle.

I was working in a company, and was being paid 40,000 a month not including other allowances. A new company called me to work with them as an Officiator and we negotiated a salary of 60,000.

Both companies produce the same products.

They agreed to pay and I resigned from the other company. I started my new job in Oct. last year and was paid all through Oct., Nov. and Dec.

Earlier this year, January precisely, I had a little issue with my boss. The misunderstanding was that I complained to him that the chemicals we use during productions was adversely affecting me. In the previous company where I worked, I didn't work during the production of the products as I was allergic to the chemicals used.

On a working day, during the time for production, he asked me to join in the production but I politely reminded him about my allergies to the chemicals being used. He commanded me while shouting that I should go back and work. I normally have heart burns, dizziness and severe migraines when I'm exposed to these chemicals.
I left during production as the chemical adversely affected me.

The next day, he came and asked if I had finished the work he commanded me to do the previous day. I apologised to him that I didn't because of the chemicals rxns which he knew about. He didn't say anything but from his body language, I thought everything was alright.

I returned the following day, only to receive a 2-week suspension notice. I was surprised and asked about my offense which the General manager told me, the boss was really pissed and so mad at me which I also explained to the GM and he was really surprised as I did no wrong. Nonetheless, he advised I serve my suspension sentence.

After suspension, I was given a review of my salary and my salary was slashed by 20,000 to 40,000 because of the issue...

I was really confused and bewildered because out of the revised 40,000 I receive per month, the company takes 15,000 out of it for my rent loan...

I've been apologising while also pleading with my boss to reconsider his decision as I'm a family man and 25,000 realistically, will not be sufficient for I and my family. He hasn't yet changed his stance.

I'm so confused, please I need your opinions, suggestions and help whatsoever..

I'm sorry for bothering you.. Thanks

Please help me out please... My uncle is really down at the moment...


Thanks!
