valentineuwakwe: According to Buhari: “I have to charge all of you to defend the Government vigorously and not allow irresponsible and politically motivated activists to keep spreading patent falsehoods about this government./
Ygrette: Yes. I miss what we would have become now. He was a good man. Still calls me his best friend. Sometimes teases me that I'm his first wife. Lol.
Yes You are on the pathway to Deism, which is a good thing. Your mind is yearning for direct connection with your creator and becoming a Deist would do.
After all, Religion=Scam, spirituality=Legit something
MrOjay1: I don't see any need for the rush, The guy is still taking his time to make sure things are in place before properly introducing you to his people.
Really?
The man dey enjoy him time for now while looking out for fresh meat.
bigpriik: denying a country access to sea will surely lead to war which might result to annexation of land to guaranty access to sea , river Niger flows through igbo territory via anambra and and anioma part of biafra ,that makes it an international water already,a Un recognised country cannt be denied access to sea impossible ! if una try am and we defeat una for war ogoni land will be anexxed forever write this down.
I don't think a newly formed nation will want to start life fighting against a potential future Ally. The best bet for the S.E is to make deal with the S.S nation. And you have to forget the issue of River Niger being international or whatever you call it. You still have to dig that thing for heavy ships. Guess you will do that without permission from the country it falls under? Make deals where necessary and forget that chest beating that gets you nowhere.
ThreeBlackBird: Believe me, the necessary deals might work in the beginning when the joy of victory has just emanated from separating from the north but a country that hopes to be independent and flourish must have other plans than those deals.
SS would look to exploit SE to its advantage because that's the right thing to do to benefit its own countrymen. While this happens, SE will cry victimization and scream hatred but it would be too late. Such combination is a recipe for disaster. SE really has to look inward, else, many would run abroad but return to build houses..
If it can work in the beginning, then it can always continue to work. What is important is what they bring to the negotiation table, and in this case, it's a matter of give and take (I make use of your waterways for import&export and you get your tax). That itself is something most of developed countries with landlocked neighbours do and it won't be different in the case of S.S and S.E nation after breakup.
The reason for the victim mentality currently exhibited by the S.E people is mainly because they are still in a forced Union. Let them free and let see if they will come to my Papa house to shout victimization.
bigpriik: next time exclude kwarra and edo they are not part of the southwest,kwarra is lost forever to fulanis and Edo should be allowed to join by choice not by force.development is not by land mass and geograhical location by brains and human resources.
Forget the Emir title Kwara belongs to the Yorubas and there is nothing any cattle rearing nomad would do when it's time to break up.
muykem: South east is landlocked, it will fail woefully.
It won't, especially with necessary deals with the south south nation. Maybe just few years of leadership problem which I believed all breakaway nations will face. Their ability to clone different products will help on the long run.
I only pity the S.S with different ethnic groups. It will be hell on earth for the poor people among them. Even Tompolo, Dokuko and other militants will want to lead.
Zoharariel: This should be a lesson for all the brain-dead nonentities always following the crowd & gobbling-up whatever that abominable Country - Amerika (and her western allies) tells you.
She lied about Saddam Hussein.
She lied about Muamar Gadaffi
She lied about Bashar Al-Assad
Heck!
She still went ahead & lied about General Qassem Soleimani and most of all our Kindergarten bastards here in Nigeria (who hardly know their right from their left) believed the Amerikan narrative that Soleimani was indeed a Terrorist.
Now, we're getting the real picture of who the biggest terrorist has always been.
I tell you, unless this ludicrously lugubrious Amerikastocracy is halted with brembo-brakes, the stentorian atribilous ululation of WW3 pishan-pishan is abyssopelagically bound to cascade into a mario mobocracy of bolekaja ambience right before our eyes in Libya.
To say that Planet Earth is on a precipice of pocalyptic & apocalyptic Nuclear crepscule will be tantamount to putting my Bmw E-30 in the reverse gear.
In fact, I was maniacally bewildered, overgassted and flabberwhelmed when I saw the video of Killary Clinton the Witch of New York laughing & crying paraplegically at the demise of Gadaffi in this video below, saying - We Came, We Saw, He Died!
Nothing can be more odoriferous saga cum gargantuan gaga!
This jiggery-pokery of the United Snakes of Amerikastan in crowning Terrorists as Statesmen & Puppets across the globe is a veritable bugaboo that must be pooh-poohed by all compos mentis homo sapiens, otherwise when the Nuclear Akara starts flying ziggy-zagga, your household will be its terminus.
I was thrown into a state of metagrabolised melancholia when Muammar Gadaffi - The great one who pricked himself on a senticous bush of George w. Bush's pubic bush as he pushed for the freedom of his vacuous & regretting people from the Amerikanization & NATOchroniculization oppression - ungraciously transcended into the abode of the white-bearded, roasted-meat loving Hannibal lecter of the Holy, Holy & Hosannas .
Gadaffi ceaselessly fulminated against Amerikan, British & French vagabonds in power whose primus mobili had philistinic anchorage in a depreciably mindless crave for vacuous hedonism and ingratiating political megalomania.
Gadaffi's passing was a mere ephemeral recumbent hibernation; I have no iota of doubt that he is currently resting at Ojuelegba Bus Stop in Heaven.
I do however hope that we take immutable cognition of the fact that the fundamental issues which Gadaffi confronted has now even coagulated and ossified into gorgon medusa. No thanks to the Amerikan & French buffoons.
Lastly, It is my schadenfreudenic joy that the United Snakes of Amerikastan - that bald-headed old serpent, is currently in a state of irreversible decline & pestilential aqua with a disastrious terminus ad quem inherently laden with inevitable cataracts, ice bergs and oxbow Lakes - thanks to the idiotic pvssy-grabbing Orange Baboon in the White House.
SirdimayG: What's all this ranting self. The victim no dey online una just dey accumulate replies for her.
Can this be fake story?
I doubt it. It happened to someone I know. She got to know her real mother at the age of 29. That of OP should be a case of Incense. Her Dad's sister should probably be her mother. Reason why she needs to go to the village. It's like a tradition not to talk much of Product of Incense from where I come from, in which all the OP talked about point at.
v2: For him to ask that he discussed it with your Stepmom mean the decisions about you from the onset was a joint one.
If after discussing with her your Dad became uncooperative when you bring up the subject, could mean your Stepmom has something on your dad.
I think both your dad and stepmom are connected to your mom in a way and something happened that led to your birth and it is their collective decision to keep things as they are.
OP, your answer is here.
You went to your village but was only allowed to move protected on command of your dad while giving you the excuses of witches (Your Dad simply prevented you from getting any info about your Mom, He succeeded)
He is feared all around (your Dad has blood on his neck)
Alaye, go back to your Village and make enquiry. Your Dad nemesis right now is that Village. Be brave, go! Go to your village and you will see everything fall right in front of you. You see those people your Dad called witches huh? Those are the people that has the solution to your problem.
The OP is right. That's even a chicken change to someone so close to the power that be in Nigeria political landscape. Not up to 3 million dollars if am right. A private contractor can dash that out in exchange for 2 minutes business talk with her Dad.
What is however wrong about it is hailing Kiki and others for being a good lobbyist while castigating the likes of Jonathan cousin, wife, and other inner caucus of Past government for the same reason of having millions as gift/compensation.
