Tittos: There is nothing different between whAt he is doing and what Aregbesola is doing. The governor is now holding marathon meeting with civil servants and teachers, trying to appease them. Also calling on all owners of properties demolished way back 2011 to come claim their compensation. Its all part of politics. Its left for the electorates to see who is honest and who isn't (I doubt if there is though). Obama won his election largely due to his laid back look that everyone could chill with. My problem is with the masked guy behind him. Is he a guard or a militant? Nigerian politicians will never learn. They keep empowering thugs just to win elections. Later that guy will go and form a militant group with the arms and money that was given to him during election, then turn to be a nuisance for the government.

HappyJoe: For those of you threatening Ndigbo with "political irrelevance if they don't join APC" - I have these few questions:

1. How "politically relevant" have Ndigbo been since the end of the Civil War?
2. What have the Hausas done with their "political relevance"? (Hint: consider their literacy rates).
3. Obasanjo was head of state for 11 years, what did Yorubas accomplish with the "political relevance"?

Nigeria is f*cked up, either way. You people have spent the past 40 years trying to make life difficult for the Igbo man, without knowing that if you make life difficult for Igbo traders, they'll jack up the price of goods, making life difficult for everyone.

That has been the motivation behind denying Enugu an International Airport, refusing to dredge Calabar's port, refusing to build a Second Niger Bridge - all this was an attempt to frustrate Igbo business & direct economic activity outside the former Eastern Region.

Guess what? You didn't succeed, Igbos thrived regardless. Today you are threatening us with "irrelevance" if we "don't vote APC". My answer to this is a big middle finger.

You want us to vote for Buhari who built a refinery in Kaduna as petroleum minister, but couldn't find the money to build a Second River Niger Bridge as head of state or PTF chairman?

You want us to vote for Atiku who killed the Calabar port dredging proposal (& TINAPA) as VP, but cornered the entire Onne port complex in Port Harcourt due to his greedy interests?

You want us to vote for Kwankwaso, that fundamentalist who is busy using Hisbah (religious police) to harass Igbo traders in Sabon Gari & destroying their goods. (He made a show of destroying N48 million worth of "alchohol"?

There is no reason on earth why a right thinking Igbo man will vote for APC.

bootstrap: People like you are usually failures in life. You fail because you cannot see beyond ur hate and myopic nature. You fail because u cannot think strategically. You fail because you think you knw, yet very foolish.

Did i mention anything about licking a*ss? YOU DISGUST ME! Mark my words this day, except the igbo man start being strategic and plan beyond their greed and foolishness, these same "cattle rearers" will continue to rule you.

#to the sensible once.....I repeat, strategic scheming, no permanent friend, no permanent enemies. Just permanent interest, interests that need to be represented strongly in every political party. A strong igbo caucus in every political party in Nigeria. Not running away when it gets hot. Know which region to align with and when to align, and all the time staying focused on ur goal.

But then again, who am i kidding? its not just in the Igbo mans nature. After all, every man in the east must have some funny title and wear some red cap.

PS: The moment you begin to look down on anybody or any region, or underestimate them, is the moment you begin to fail.

otokx: Until we stop celebrating wealth in Africa, such things will continue to happen.

lagtech: I agree and I disagree.

Generally if you succeed in Place A -you can succeed in Place B. Success principles are universal. But geography, location and type of environment also affect levels of 'success".

There are Americans all over the world-it doesn't mean that they hate America. And there are Nigerians all over the world too-it doesn't mean that they hate Nigeria.

I have been in America for several years-and I haven't met any Nigerian doing any job they wouldn't do in Nigeria. There might be some-but I haven't met any of them. There is no shame in labor. As long as your work is honest-than you can be proud of it. And if there are some jobs that can be considered 'menial or low' it seems better to do it in a foreign land where you are guest and tenant than in your own land where you are a landlord.

Many Nigerians are making it in Nigeria and many Nigerians are making it in America!!!

Wherever you are-work hard, work smart, make your family and country proud-let the child you were be proud of the person YOU HAVE become and enjoy God's Earth!

Amhappy: It depends on the type of decision. They shouldnt take very important life decisions till they are adults. At 12-14 my child should pick his/her clothes i will only approve but i choose the school to attend. They choose their friends but i have to know them. As they grow older,i will guide them to make decisions but will put my feet down if my child is making an obvious wrong call.

Crystalline: A man says...I don't love my wife because she is not submissive perhaps if she were submissive, i'd have loved her.


A woman says...I am not submissive to my husband because he doesn't love me, if he had shown me love, i'd have been submissive.


Ephesians 5:22...wives be submissive to your husbands as unto the LORD

Ephesians 5:25...husbands love your wives just as CHRIST loves the church.

Now my question is "which should come first...LOVE or SUBMISSION?"

Your honest views are welcome.

Blue Scholar: Always remember that your parents comes first,if she can't learn to love them then you have to man up and divorce her...
Will you like the wife of your son treat you like sh*t?

nkpom mpko: moderation, modesty. Does that ring a bell? What of greed etc, hmm

omartins: But Jesus ask a rich man to dash out his belongings to the poor before he can follow him, he said you can't serve two master at the same time without cherish one than other. That's GOD and MONEY. He didn't say God and Devil, Jesus know what devil will use to deceive his followers. And he his busy using it and excelling.

nedu2000: I see this as a very unfortunate development for 'men of God' who should be more concerned with issues of spirituality and not material possessions. Such acquisition of wealth is baffling whereby a new testament reading says "its easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God"
