Oh reallly

What won't I read on nairaland.

So his MIL needs to take his permission/ inform him before visiting his own bereaved mother . Is his MIL his wife? I thought marriage brings two families together.

If he's feeling undermined or uneasy that his mother inlaw visited his mum without informing him then the OP has a problem.

I felt the op was petty when I read his initial post, reading his later posts where he said he should be the one the MIL should start commiserating with him not his mother confirmed my suspicion.

Someone that can make an issue out of this will make issues out of other things and call them 'nasty things'.

It is not a permission madam, it's information. The person that died is the husband's family member too. All these young ladies without knowledge of culture. So the person that died is only related to the husband's mother but not related to the husband?

She should have console with the man and highlight it that I will go see your mum to see how she is fairing.

Please go to your people who know culture and tell them this and see their reply.

Those commenters that said visiting your mum without informing you isn't an issue do not understand basic family etiquette. The man is the eye of his extended family while the wife is the eye of hers, you should contact him before making a move. Him not knowing about your move is undermining the person of the man which is not right.

How many of them are Exon mobile oil workers?

How many administrative staff have been kidnapped in Port Harcourt for shell workers?

The militants operate in the sea or rivers not on land.

Xisnin:
IOC can't move to the Niger-Delta because of security and not due to lack of buildings.
Udom is not thinking straight.

Other places do not have security challenges? How many security challenges did akwaibom record last year, how many did Lagos record?

LaudableXX:
There was nothing wrong in the information that was in my post. What part of it exactly was wrong?

Station doesn't have the highest employee strength offshore.

Blue3k:
Yes I do because every business wants to pay less. On top of taxes they pay they also do community development. The overall tax regemies is have to look.

Seriously, tax cuts will not cut if the overhead expenses is still higher than Lagos. Moreover, I think Lagos tax regime seems to be higher than Akwa ibom. I might be wrong.

oyb:
And the kidnappers are from oil rich areas, not so. Those ondo Ijaws.

Thats how bad it is. Once 'opportunities' dried up, different ND thugs relocate to Lagos to bunker, Rob banks and kidnap. Where else would they have gotten the money for heavy weaponry?

Are you also trying to compare crime in lagos, with the sort of crime in the ND. Don't make me laugh abeg. No be your ND governors eg wike dey do fake amnesty up and Dan? Are we not regularly seeing edifices of crime kingpins? Are never do well militants not role models?

To you our south south people, have you seen this guy insulting your people saying you are robbers?

Kobicove:
The company is not duty bound to relocate its admin office if it feels the area is not safe for or safe for its personnel

Can u compare safety felt in Always ibom with that felt in the entire southwest?

Blue3k:
Lol you guys are funny you celebrated a building without thinking of what Exxon wanted. Maybe they can arrange federal contact but the same Akwa ibom government building real estate in lagos to meet with investors in lagos. Why didn't they just strange for them to come to Akwa Ibom is the airport not good enough anymore?

Anyway again the state will have to consider their other issue. The best way to get deal is to talk to Exxon Mobil and broker deal. A new building nobody asked is dumb. Tax incentives, saftey guarantees and OGFZ could sway their opinion.







^^^ Why is Akwa Ibom running to Lagos and trying to drag Exxon HQ out Lagos at same time?

Do you think tax cuts will push Exxon Mobil to the state? What's the tax regime of Lagos and Always ibom like? Which one is fairer?

deomelllo:
Akwa Ibom is not safe for Exon Mobile and Oil workers. Facts don't lie.

Oil companies left because of lack of safety and security, violence and kidnappings.

You can not guarantee their safety and security with office building..[/b]

Lagos recorded 51 kidnappings in 2016 and 245 murders. So what do you say about that?

LaudableXX:
Did you even read through all the posts on this thread from the beginning, to understand the reason why that post was made? Nobody is comparing staff strength of major oil companies. The point was to show that not all major oil firms site their head office in the same location, where their drilling operations or exploration activities are conducted. Listen and learn!

No, you were throwing wrong information around. I was only correcting the information you threw.

LaudableXX:
Statoil is the world's largest offshore operator, with 20,500 employees and operations in over 30 countries worldwide. In Norway, Statoil operates more than 40 assets in the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea, in addition to holding a significant number of exploration licences elsewhere, as well as operating one of the largest oil fields on the Norwegian continental shelf, producing more than 400,000 barrels a day. Yet, its offices are in Fornebu, just a few metres outside Oslo where its' unique head office is built, with a spectacular view over adjacent park areas and the fjord of Oslo - while its' group activities take place within Oslo (the Norwegian capital) and Bergen.

Some of you will be coming online throwing figures here and there. Ordinary total has 98,000 employees from 150 countries. Stop thinking everyone believes big English.

Igbos, please listen. The best place for business in the next 10years is Akwa ibom state. If the state eventually gets it right, kaboom, the state will house one of the biggest investment inflow.

If you want to buy a land outside igboland, buy in Akwa ibom. You will not regret. From economic projections, run from violent north and toxic west and go to more serene and rich environment to invest. More so, it is closer to home and poses lesser risks.

nkwuocha:
Very factual piece from a Yoruba man with foresight void of jealousy. May eledumare continue to bless the writer.

Just know that you started. Just keep it in mind that every insult igbos receive on this thread you started it. You are not defending igbos but you are exposing them.

Just sleep tonight knowing that no one called you to criticize the Yorubas but you chose to insult igbos because you saw them online.

Those structures are 100years old at least.

Even if most of you that argued here are older than 18, you all acted like kids (my brothers inclusive). This thread would have been a rallying point, a thread to fire up our patriotic spirit. A thread that would have made us have a concrete conversation. Alas, it has degenerated to who owns this company and which tribe is better.

Seriously, there is no redemption anytime soon.

LZAA:
if u are igbo u would understand d basic igbo mindset

The basic igbo mindset with everyone being his own king and no one is trying to listen to the next person.

As an igbo man who knows about the tribe, where are we going as a people. What's our template?

LZAA:
exactly what i wrote in the last part of my quote
one man cannot do what saraduna or tinubu is doing in alaigbo
igbo ppl move at their own pace

Where are we moving to as a people. Please tell me.

remedick:
That was why I was almost begging that they shouldn't get involved in earlier pages.

I tire, I swear.

When someone talks about igbos we are all affected and we try as much as possible to reset their mindset to the positive but some will just stay online and raise comments that will put igbos for public shaming.

Seriously, I am tired.

All these stupid men we call igbo leaders that have abandoned the region to be playing Abuja politics. They are the reasons igbos do not have political coherence. They just make mouth but no action.

Bede2u:
This attack wasnt nessesary. Many posters also demanded to know Igbos international achievements. Dont always want to put people down because u are angry

Please try and ignore. Let the northerners face themselves and let's leave them to argue please. Everyday you guys will be pushing igbos to always defend our tribe online because of all these.

I am sorry to attack you.

Bede2u:
Igbo achievement;

Sports; olympic gold- Chioma Ajunwa, nduka awazie, clement chukwu.

Science; Philip Emeagwali (internet) Barth Nnaji (e-design, geometric reasoning) Eni Njoku (botanist) Chike obi (maths)

Tech; Innocent chukwuma (innosson), Aba shoe makers and replica makers, Ogbunigwe bomb makers, NAF drone makers

Education; So many south east students breaking foreign university records. Emmanuel Ohuabunwa (johnhopkins uni)

Entertainment; founded nollywood with living in bondage, dominated music with psquare

Literature, Chimamanda adichie, chinua achebe, cyprain ekwensi

Did anyone ask you to mention igbo achievement. The reason why igbos are insulted is not more than this. Stay on topic and not deviate.

Seriously, we have variant humans on earth.

LZAA:
before u jump on this man's bandwagon remember that this man is not even relevant in his own state
i will keep saying it until it sinks in
igbos do politics but not the politics wia one man is yai gaskiya or jagaban
QED

Please who is the most relevant politician in the east. Seriously, I want to know the politician that has any form of political respect.

All these emotional igbo idiots making comments here. I hope you are old enough to think with your head. You talk more from your stomach than your brains. No wonder you do not exude leadership qualities. Even when you are rebuking someone, you don't know how to limit the words you say.

Little kids with no sense of tomorrow.

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

This verse reminds of my childhood. Seriously, I missed those old days. There was this sweetness in being young and godly. As I read through this hymn, I just pictured where I used to sit in church and the people around me at the time.

Things have changed and life is moving so fast that we don't get to fully enjoy the moment.

This woman is more stupid than an idiot.

letusbepieces:
IF IGBO CAN DENY MARRIAGE TO FELLOW IGBO.

WE CAN PROSCRIBE MARRIAGE TO YORUBAS AND ANY FAMILY THAT DARES, CONDEMN AS OSU.

Sometimes I moved to slap you guys. What's wrong with you people?

If you are igbo and you argued about that legislation, you should hide your identity. I find most of my brothers irritating when they argue about these things. If you don't like it, take your investments and leave the state.

There are virgin lands in the east that we can resuscitate but we keep dying about Lagos.

ogwucheveekee:
Why won't the middle belts have hatred for the Igbos.tribalistic, bias, people. So the hatred is mutual we are learning from them

The day you realize that igbos pity you than hate you, the better for you.

I have been underestimating the business of trending. In this country, all you need to be relevant is to be controversial in your actions and words.

sarrki:
At the emboldened is a no go Area

Power must shift to the south

That's just the gospel truth

I don't see the southwest voting for another northerner to spend 8years

To the south, you mean the west, right?
