tishbite42: The retrogression, deceleration is alarming Arrested development God forbid evil 1990 still far for Igbo. Even 2010 to now, you must notice big difference.
South East is still the smallest region in Nigeria, Oyo state is as big as south East but south east also receive five times the allocation of Oyo state.
South East should be the most developed region in Nigeria because of how small it is but too bad it is a parasitic region that only know how to supply other regions with economic refugees, igbo should be the last one talking about development.
tishbite42: E be like sey the 1969 better pass 2023 Na dis same people go abuse Igbos Chai, we Biafrans don suffer walai
When you learn how to stay in your developed south East instead of trooping out of it like it is a barren land then turn around after to insult the region that are feeding your generation no one will be able to insult you.
Goodday90: They will come with their normal excuses of “our houses were built at the same time they built Oxford University,that’s why our roofs are brown and dilapidated “
We like it like that
Why are you guys so obsessed with south west ?
Southeast is very developed but you guys wouldn't stop leaving it Iike it is a barren land
Entprys: 1996, during my NYSC in Anambra State(Achina in aguata), then, 'A level' was as common as reciting national pledge. I remember one Toochi then. . . but let 's forget cos Igbos here will soon start boasting.
But why are we celebrating 9As these days as if it is a big deal while in the past it was nothing ?
Igbo started it.
Igbo people were gloating and taunting Yoruba with the result of Igbo students.
Go and check the thread and see how they were insulting Yoruba, what they don't know is that if it is not being posted on Nairaland it doesn't mean there are no Yoruba students that clear their Waec too.
ceejay80s: U people are always envious, ever since they ost exam score of Igbo student,body dey pepper una, I noticed this one on front page and I knew the reason it has gotten here, U people are devilishly very envious, If una like make una advertise here like action bitter, nobody will give her scholarship
Who are the people gloating and taunting Yoruba on those Waec result thread of Igbo students ? are they not Igbo ?
Just because it is not being posted on Nairaland doesn't mean there are no Yoruba students that clear their Waec but now you can open your big mouth and call Yoruba envious, i bet you didn't say anything when you see those insultive comment by igbo on Igbo student result threads, insulting Yoruba give you guys energy.
ABEOKUTA – A 16-year-old student at Taidob College, Asero, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, Oloruntola Mutiu Oluwaseyi, has recorded an outstanding result of Nine A1s in his 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination, (WASSCE).

ThiefnubuBandit: This news will surely bring weeping and gnashing of teeth in some particular brown roof towns and villages. Let me enjoy my Egusi soup in peace abeg.
You think Yoruba students are not clearing their Waec result because it is not posted on Nairaland ? lol
Guyman01: Instead of making snide comments we need to find out why the Igbos are outstanding in academics, technology and trading.
I went to fix my car with a Yoruba mechanic, he struggled with it and couldn't fix it, then I took it to an Igbo guy who claimed he will fix it and billed me and he succeeded.
Now this is what happened, the Igbo guy knows that he doesn't know the problem with the car, he then called another mechanic a Berom guy from Plateau State who is an expert on such issues to do the work in his workshop while pretending as if he was giving him directives as the boss, that's wisdom and my car was fixed in a very short time.
I came back to the Yoruba guy and explained to him that because he wanted to eat alone thats why he failed, he should always have the contacts of those who are better than him in certain areas and whenever he has difficulties he should contact them, all that customers want is to see their cars fixed and that's exactly what the guy did and I was satisfied.
All these hogwash because an Igbo girl got 9A in WAEC like there are not Yoruba that performed very well in their WAEC too
What should Yoruba say on a thread of this Yoruba girl that scored 9 A in Waec too ?
A brilliant Nigerian student of Telnet International Schools, Akure in Ondo State, Omoyeni Joy Folakemi, aced all the nine subjects she registered for in the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). Joy did not just make her family and school proud with an A1 in all Nine subjects she took in her WAEC result, she also scored 338 in her Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination.
Sharing the enviable story with REPORTERS AT LARGE recently, the elated proprietor of the school said “A student in our school by the name Omoyeni Joy had 9As in the just released WAEC results. She also scored 338 in JAMB. She is one of our several success stories several.”
The proprietor thanked God for making his student successful, recording the best result in the 2023 WAEC.
He described Joy as a Godly and focused girl whose determination, respect and curious style of learning have paid off.
“She was known as one who always has questions for the teachers and takes her personal studies seriously. She had a JAMB score of 338 and an SAT score of 1400/1600. I, the school management, all of her teachers since her JSS1 and other students of rhe school are proud of her outstanding performance,” the proprietor said.
Disclosing what cumulated into her excellent WAEC and JAMB results, Joy told REPORTERS AT LARGE that “For me, preparation for WAEC started from my very first class in senior secondary school. My school made it clear that they do not support examination malpractices but instead make supportive teachers available to help us understand things that seem difficult. I used this and got close to my teachers and it really helped me.
“When I got to SSS3, my school introduced us to early morning reading, after-school classes and drilling mock examinations for WAEC and JAMB. So I was basically always reading or having classes.
“But honestly, I want to thank God because none of this could have happened without Him.”
Telnet International Schools, Akure is a coeducational boarding and day school with state-of-the-art boarding and day facilities. A citadel of excellence where all beloved students are empowered to emerge as godly leaders who have the values of integrity, hard work and honesty instilled in them.
lavylilly: Local rice they were selling for between 10-15k per 50kg bag in 2017 skyrocketed to over 28k in 2019 & currently selling at 38-49k
Truth is, many Nigerians are not really angry about corruption and stealing of public funds, they're only angry that they're not the ones benefiting from the corruption.
Investment in local rice production is not enough
The demand is still higher than supply, when local rice production is really very surplus and there are many competitors there is no way the price won't come down.
Pukkalolo: I and my guy arrived the venue. Then this beautiful lady was sent to welcome us.
She introduced herself: "I'm Jennifer. You are welcome. May I know your name?"
My guy replied enthusiastically, "I'm Kelvin. You have a beautiful smile."
"Thank you," she replied politely.
Then she turned to me who was distracted with my phone. "What of you, may I know your name?"
I said, "wait...what did you say is your name again?"
She replied, "I said I'm Jennifer!"
I said, “Jeez! who the hell gave you that name?"
She said, "Excuse me"
I said, "you are gonna have to dump that name today. I'm getting you a new name."
Then I winked at her.
She smiled and said, "you are not serious."
Then she turned to my friend who was shocked by my audacity, "Is he always like this with women?"
My friend who was short of words just laughed.
Then I told her, "you just have one job to do for me in this event."
She smiled and said, "I'm all ears... what's the job?"
I said, "I get bored easily....so your job is to make sure I don't get bored in this place."
She laughed and then in her own words she said, "you are a total asshole."
Anyways, to cut the story short....few weeks later this lady was all over me... I don't need to explain further.
She's not the first woman calling me an asshole. From different women, I've gotten negative remarks like, "you are an asshole," "you are selfish." "you’re too arrogant." "You are too full of yourself." "You are too difficult." And so on...
Despite all this negative remarks, I still don't have issues with women. Paradoxically, it turns out that the ladies who gives me these negative remarks are the ones I get easily.
The fact that some women get incredibly turned on by asshole & difficult behavior is arguably one of the darkest aspects of female psychology
It is not because you are arrogant or an arse hole all what you said to her wasn't really bad, it only showcased your confidence that you would not easily swallow her shits or fall for her like most of the guys she usually meet, it turn woman on but you may really lose her if you become a real arsehole.
It is because you flip the script and want her to impress you and you stay a challenge and you distinguish yourself by not being among those men that would easily be fawning over her, women want a man that will require them to put in the work, be a challenge and will make them chase or they will easily become bore with you.
Obi2saveNigeria: When I say that most of you are wallowing in ignorance and self-deceit, you just proved an example. I have bought personal lands at 2 million that doubled in value in less than 2 years! If only you're not deep in multidimensional poverty, I would have shown you lands in Owerri where you can buy and it will appreciate by extra 2 million within 2 years! The fact you're shocked about something that is common over here shows the depth of poverty you're operating from.
I have not seen any village in the SE where houses still have rafia roof. Such things only exist in the poor sadwaste region. Most of our villages are actually more beautiful than your so-called cities. The sort of Lekki house buildings in our villages can only be found in your most exclusive GRA's where only 1% of your elite can afford to live. If you doubt me, I will bring pictures and shame you!
Your cities are nothing but glorified slums while the villages are still in stone age.
You are the one projecting the situation you are in on me lol
It is actually poverty stricken people like you that usually first call others poor.
You are really very delusional lol, if it is that easy to invest in your region and make profits why the hell are your people trooping out of it to other places to invest like it is a war zone ?
This idiot really painted sadeast like everyone is rich there and there are no poor people, it is poor people like you that is stealing the new niger bridge railing and wanted to make FG to shut it down.
Sure you have few areas here and there where drug dealers built alot of empty mansions and that's it, i have been to the East and poverty is a very common knowledge there that's why most of you can't survive there.
Obi2saveNigeria: No, land in the sadwaste is worthless and doesn't appreciate. So, it doesn't make sense for one to invest his money in it. If it's not Lagos and parts of Ogun that is close to Lagos, then forget it!
Someone that buys a land for 10 million in the East and in two years, it appreciate to 12 million has made profit of 2 million. Another person that buys land in sadwaste at 500 thousand and in two years its value becomes 530k makes no economic sense!
That's why derelict houses and rusted roofs are still everywhere in the sadwaste like shrines. You can't buy land 10 million and allow a slum on it.
Gully erosion and red Sand will probably swallow that land after 2 years in the East.
The last time i visited the East, i can still see houses with rafia roofs and apart from the capital the rest are backward villages with no roads and good infrastructures.
The south west is still the most developed economically in Nigeria and SadEast the most economically backward, no land there is going to increase 2 million in 2 years, place where people run away from like a barren and war torn region.
Obi2saveNigeria: Land is dirt cheap in the sadwaste. With 500k you can buy land in any of their rusted roof slum cities. But how many of them can afford 10 million to buy just one plot in the Eastern cities?
Their problem is largely poverty mixed with ignorance.
And why should any one spend 10 million on a barren land in the East when you can get a much cheaper and bigger one in the west as a Yoruba man ? does it make sense to you ?
Here is some great advice from the SoSuave forum on when you should and should not give women gifts:
=======
Giving gifts early in the relationship sabotages what you're trying to accomplish.
Gifts send a couple of messages.
(1) You agree that she is a prize and that YOU are trying to woo HER.
(2) You are trying to compensate for some lacking on your part with gifts.
(3) You are attempting to buy her affection.
As a side note, you should be aware that if you buy flowers, gifts, et cetera early in the relationship, then you damn well better make sure that you buy her flowers and gifts for every other trivial event or holiday that comes up.
She will begin to expect things on Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day, birthdays, Christmas, May Day, Saint Patrick's Day, Veterans Day, Arbor Day, Boxing Day, April Fool's Day, Your Three and a Half Month Anniversary, Her Dog's Birthday, and so on.
And each time you'd damn well better make sure that your flowers or gifts are BETTER than the ones you gave before, or she'll think you're getting cheap.
Let's just not fall into that trap at all.
It's appropriate to give gifts on the following occasions, PROVIDED THAT YOU'RE IN A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP AND HAVE BEEN FOR A WHILE.
(1) Birthday
(2) Christmas
(3) One Year "Anniversary" (do NOT celebrate monthly anniversaries)
(4) Valentine's Day
(5) Special event such as graduation
You may also give flowers when they are not expected just to surprise her and make her think you're wonderful. DO NOT over do this. Maybe once every three months or so.
DO NOT send her flowers when you have f**ked up. I know this sounds crazy, but sometimes a girl will purposely start an argument just to get flowers from you when you apologize (even though it's her fault). I've seen it done. Not pretty.
In addition, giving flowers when you've messed up just confirms in her mind that you were a jerk. When she receives the flowers, she will not think "sweet guy" she will think "a**hole".
=======
I'd like to thank Giovanni Casanova for this great advice.
Some great tips on when you should and shouldn't give gifts to women.
Remember, excessive gift giving frames you as the pursuer and her as the prize to be won over. When what you really want to communicate is just the opposite.
nudemetube: They are good for wife they won't cheat on you
Most of the cases of low sex drive in women is because the woman have no reasons or urge to satisfy the man or the woman is actually not that sexually arouse or attracted to the man.
This actually happen when a woman know without a doubt that you are in love with her and you don't have any other women around and you are very loyal. The battle would have been completely won to her and she won't have the urge to go that mile to satisfy you sexually but when they know there is still a competition and some women may still be around you and they are not sure of your feelings for them they will try everything to win you over, that's women for you.
It is even worse when a woman is a wife to a loyal husband and she know it, she may grant the husband sex out of obligation but won't go all the way to satisfy the husband.
For sexual satisfaction women need competition anxiety and a man that can make them feel sexually arouse, the two conditions must be met to continue getting sexual satisfaction from a woman.
InyinyaAgbaOku: Oga, even a smaller Lagos has a larger developed area than the bigger Ibadan.
Oga, stop the delusion , Nnewi , Onitsha, Obosi, Oba, Awka have far better looking houses than this dungeon called Ibadan. Oyo is also bigger than Israel , does your size nonsense still work ?
Just agree that the west has stunted and regressed development. Your towns look like they are stuck in stone age . The Easterners renovate their abodes regularly, copy that. The 50s are too recent for this decay your towns keep showing
You must really be blind
Ibadan is more developed than any where in the East
Yoruba people are now putting the old parts of Ibadan to good use.
Check all the recent Yoruba movies on Netflix most of them were shots at these ancient part of Ibadan to showcase Yoruba culture and history and it is paying off.
Ibadan is as big as Anambra state, Apart from Onitsha and some few places in Anambra how many places have any sign of development in Anambra ?
Ibadan as a city is bigger than Lagos state not every part of Lagos is developed, so it is also understandable that Ibadan have some local areas, you guys would even bash Lagos state your bitterness for Ibadan is expected.
IconicR: Between getting rid of men all the time and taking your time to get the right one for a lasting purpose, which one is more sensible for a lady. If we are to go by your rules/belief/assertion then you won't know when you start accumulating body counts as a woman because of your quick acceptance of a man into your life.
Life is a game of luck.
Even if a man chase you hard to get you it still doesn't mean he will be the right man for you, he may just waste your time and disappoint you at last at the same time a man you just sleep with on the first date can really be your man for life.
You just have to keep your eyes open for some good characters, values and principles in men. Don't just go out with any type of men.
Date only men that value loyalty, respect etc and men that are kind to people around them. It will be very hard for those kind of men to just use and dump you if you don't disappoint yourself.
IconicR: Well, this is coming from a man so I don't expect less. You guys don't value what you get easily.
Only a worthless man wouldn't value a woman that treat him with respect.
Any man that don't value a woman because he win her over easily is not worth being with in the first place, he is just an immature playboy and that woman should be glad she get rid of such a useless man.
At the same time chasing a woman so much can also have the same effect on some men, they will resent that woman for giving them so much troubles and lose interest after she agreed especially if her characters is also not much to write about.
Fifthaout: You better start going close to live fire to know how it will feel like when you eventually get to your final abode
Typical brainwashed sheep
i wonder how many of you would even be christians if your fake god didn't threaten to burn you for eternity if you disobey him?
It is just like me coming to your house and threatening to punish you forever if you don't do what i want, it is good when your fake god do it but i will be a criminal and a Devil if i do it to you.
Your god is a Devil and he doesn't exist, It is just human invention to control brain dead sheeps like you.
IconicR: Yes, some ladies do want their intended man to chase them with all their mights, it tells you how the person really want you in his life. Hope you want her for something meaningful else please stay away from her life.
Because of how special they are ? like she is doing the man a favour by being with him right ?
A woman that want you to keep chasing and keep toying with you just to feel special is not worth chasing, that's a very big sign of an entitle woman that will think you should use all your life to serve her to show you love her without giving you much in return.
Op should run away from women that think like this guy, there are woman that will fall in love with you moment they see you why the hell should you waste your time chasing a woman that may not really like you in the first place ? The ball is in your court.
Mhizzard: Sometime in march of this year i asked girl out but she rejected me,i really disturbed her though...presently the feelings is still there maybe cus am seeing her every time,my question is that can i still shoot my shot again..
You are heading to a pit fall if you keep chasing her.
There are hundreds or even thousands of women that will show high interest in you if you will just approach them.
Myer: Tell me, when last did you experience Peace and Joy?
I have always been happy and I don't believe in your fake god.
Typical brainwashed sheep, even this dead pastor did not have peace and joy despite all his beliefs in your fake god, your god couldn't saved his two wives and sister from dying or even saved him from dying untimely too.
Go and ask the richest billionionaire in the world that don't believe in any god if they are not having peace and joy.
