She dey even smile on top the uncomfortable cloth wey she wear..

Everything depends on you. Just ensure you don't spend on unnecessary things. And try as much as u can to meet up with your target so that you can be earning up to that 90k monthly. The country is tough. It's time to toughen up too.

Who has the link to the video, let's confirm it first.

Onyeigbo10000:
Nigeria politicians are only good in wasting resources, if you check well those buildings are owned by the igbos.

This Ur statement is so senseless.

soccerlite:
Castrati boys were in vogue then as singers in Opera festivals etc

The Catholic then decided to employ such method for some of their teenage boys too


You are saying those castrati boys used in the operas were those employed to sing in the Catholic church too

Or

After the Catholic church castrated them, they then sang in both the church and operas

Your first statement is more like it. Castrati boys were in vogue and then the church replaced it's choir boys with castrati boys.

It's not like the church were gathering boys and castrating them for the purpose of singing in its choir..

Till date the church still have boys singing in its choir, will you say those boys were forced into becoming choristers.

soccerlite:
You mean the castration was the boys wish?

Even if you are Catholic, that should not prevent you from saying what's fact

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery

Christianity isn't Catholic, and Jesus Christ isn't Catholic, even in heaven you will not be recognised as Catholic

Am not here to defend the church, cos there are worse things greater than this that the church did in the past. Am not also defending the use of castrati by the church, but there is no need to pass false information.

That the church used castrati boys in its choir doesn't mean the church forced castration on them. Castrati's were becoming like celebrities.

Aside from the church, even operas and other music concert EMPLOYED castrati boys to sing for them. Will you also say the operas castrated the boys by force too, or the church castrated them and sold them to operas.

Dig more about this issue and you will understand.

Castrati started even before the church decided to replace its choir boys with castrati boys.

siofra:
I wonder why our priest doesn't talk about this on Sundays

You are only being mischievous, cos your heading and content of the message is two different things.

Your topic made it seem like the church forced castration on them, rather they choose to be castrated in other to join choir of the church.

Or maybe you can explain better.

Rexymania:
What's indecent in that dressing?

So you no see anything wrong in what they are doing.

World don end.. That's all I have to say.

You should earn at least 180k and above so that you can leave a comfortable life without much stress.

And in this 180k, try and manage so that you can only spend 80k and save 100k.

With that savings, you can be having around 1M yearly which will help you to purchase properties and make investment.

Else, you will just be living your life daily without any meaningful progress.

Jogs1900:
A bank executive director can't get up to 1.7bn as profit sharing..A non ED can get.
The profit is being shared to all staff in the bank.Some banks pay their outsourced staffs part of the profit made.
Compare his lifestyle with other bank MDs lifestyle if you know any..

I knw an ED that was "resigned" last year. From 2017 till when the ED resigned, the ED have been getting nothing less than 2b yearly.

Jogs1900:
Being a bank MD doesn't necessarily mean you have one share in the bank.

Bank MD aside their official pay are given a small percentage of the entire bank profit. This is a rule by CBN.

So imagin a bank making over 200b in profit, how much do you think the MD will be paid.

I once calculated the end of year payment to a bank ED at its more than 1.7b how much more will the MD get.

YoungDaNaval:
If you check well, they voted for Tinubu

You need deliverance.

sokeril:
Stop opening useless threads up and down bringing ridicule to your tribe.
Nairaland has gone to the dogs,one can’t even have any decent conversation here again without you fools resorting to tribal arguments.

So its me you are blaming now.

aswani:
Rich4god, type those words in the search faciitiy provided by Nairaland and look at the User profiles of the person.

Go to twitter, I am not on there so I can't tell you how to search for text, you will see myriad examples of Obidients of igbo extraction using those words.

Let's not kid ourselves, these things are not hard to find. Same as looking for Yorùbá's using words like "Ohsuu, Afghaneeasstan, flaatheads" etc. Something I don't agree with.

Gv me your authentic proof that an Igbo man called Lagos a "No man's land" or where the igbo generally said that they will conquer Lagos. Am still waiting.

Belafonte:
Yet they haven't declared igbolqnd no man's land? Wonderful

Plz tell me the igbo man that declared Lagos or any yoruba land "a no man's land"...

Give me a name.

Even if I as an Igbo man start shouting that we want to conquer Lagos, is that even possible.

There are Oba of yoruba in almost all states in Nigeria, yet the indigenes of those state dont have care about them.
But you guys will always want to roar when ever igbos want to install and EZE.

Mind you, in Igbo land, We have IGWE of "place" but out side Igbo land, "EZE NDI IGBO" of a state. Literally translated as KING OF IGBOs in the state. Please tell me whats the issue with that.

lwisee:
They should stop playing the victim/innocent card.
We all saw how they tried to take over Lagos,how they disrespect their host,calling Lagos no mans land.
We dont hate Igbos but Igbos have deep hatred for other tribes with passion.
I was in church today and we practically sang Igbo song all through the servcie.
An Igbo church in the East will never sing Yoruba song in their church.
Even Igbo churches in Lagos hardly sing Yoruba songs.
I remember the case of a Catholic Reverend Father in Ikorodu who accuse the choir of always singing Igbo song.
He told them that Catholic churches in the East will never sing a Yoruba song,it became a serious issue then.


Below is the link to corroborate my statement:

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/510385-church-suspends-priest-for-banning-igbo-song-during-mass.html?tztc=1

Let's be realistic with each other. How is it possible that igbos can take over Lagos.

How? Can you tell me how that can be achieved. When politicians bring in tactics to divide the citizens, the poor masses will just carry it on their head.

The church issue is what I don't understand. But if u look at it critically, majority of catholics in Nigeria are Igbos. And if you are a Catholic or if u can ask a friend who is a Catholic that will tell you the truth, you will know that aside from English, most hyms that the Catholic sing in church are Igbo hymns translated or written by Igbos. Even some of the youruba hymns where written by Igbos. Ask any catholic choir member of Jude Name, this man wrote almost 60% of the hymns we sing in Catholic church in Nigeria majority of wch are Igbo hymns.

Shigishege2:
na only u get ancestral lands othera wey u dey buy thier own no get.

Can you show me where the Igbos forced any one to sell his land. Whether the land is ancestral or not.

Ajagunakin:
See this idiot, how can you target Yorubas in southeast when there aren’t Yorubas there? Oponu

Lol... If you knw the number of Yoruba in South East, you will be shocked.

Belafonte:
Oh, so now that it's your turn to be stereotyped you can make the distinction between some igbos for and against an agenda, but when it comes time for igbos to stereotype other tribes you can freely profile all members of one tribe under a certain agenda? Can you now see that you're deceiving yourselves . You guys are comedians. If all Nigerians hate igbos according to you and your brothers, then by your very own logic you all are terrorists and terrorist sympathisers. Capisce?

I no understand u.

Musrataman:
Which normal Nigerian will buy land in south east

Because the majority of Una type are not industrious. Go to d east, plenty tribes get property all over the place and they are doing fine.

Belafonte:
What have igbos done wrong?

Disrespect for other peoples' beliefs and way of life. Period. You people see yourselves and your ways as superior and it informs your attitudes and communication towards others. You lack regard for other people's customs and cultures and even their heritage, eg, "we developed Lagos" "na we get Lagos".

Yorubas might not say anything when you spout such grating drivel and we won't forget, but we will remind you when a Chinedu wants to contest for governorship of Lagos.

Do you know that, I, a yoruba man travelled outside Lagos (my place of primary residence) to vote Obi? And I regretted that act before the end of election day. Why? Because when Obi won Tinubu in Lagos, we started hearing all sorts of nonsense like "we go take Lagos from them" . Una papa. Wetin una wan take? That is why Chinedu was roundly defeated in Lagos.

I promise you, a lot of yorubas who voted for Sanwo Olu voted for Obi and would have cast their votes for Chinedu if you and your people had the little thing called respect.

I can beat my chest and say that I am a detribalised Nigerian but I'm not so detribalised that I'm ignorant of igbo ways of disrespect, both overt and covert.

You fell for politicians tactics. They saw that they lost in Lagos. They have to deploy tribalism in other not to loose the governorship.

Same what they did during end SARS. When the north wanted to join the end SARS movement, the politicians now claimed that the protest is aimed at removing buhari from power. That made the north not to join the protest. Next they now claimed that igbos are destroying Lagos with the end SARS movement. How is that even possible for the igbos to organise and cause that massive destruction that Lagos witnessed. But the politicians knows our weaknesses and they used it against us.

Now just be watching from now onwards, when ever the politicians want to divide the people in other to achieve their aim, they will bring in tribalism. Just mark this post.

Mankindman:
In your deep mind, have you ever reflected on what the igbos , the children of hate post on Nairaland against the president of Nigeria?
How they blackmail the Yorubas?
How they instigate the Nairaland moderators to ban our E-warrior compatriots that stood for PBAT?
No room for the enemies of Nigeria.
No room for the children of Oluchi of Alaigbo.
You ain't see anything.
You will all flee from Yoruba land by the time we are done with you.
Our patriotic E-warriors are ready for the children of Alaigbo.

What have we posted on nairaland when you compare it to what some people did posted and said about Jonathan.

The opposition during Jonathan started all these politics of insult and media war. And it continued Into buhari time. So if anyone insults the presidency, just know the people who removed Jonathan from power started it.

Musrataman:
How old are you?
Igbo is hated in Ghana, south African, Asia, everywhere and you make it look like it is only in Nigeria.

Am sure you don't want me to reply this. As we all know the reason behind the "hate"

Forced them into a waiting vehicle.

Our security agencies seriously need to step up.

Actions like this are what embolden criminals as they know that can't get caught.

May God help us.

Onitsha crisis of 2006/2007 were hundreds of northerner were murdered in Onitsha because of a mini disagreement between Fulani cow supplier and Igbo butcher... Which resulted to physical confrontation between the two parties. Only for the Igbo man to be drop dead by the Fulani cow dealer. What happened afterward?

Innocent northners that knew nothing about the incident were attacked and killed including children and women!!

I still have the full record of Onitsha massacre with me!!

I do not have much information about this riot, but the little I gathered was that this was a retaliatory riot because of that happened in the north. Am not in anyway giving it a thumbs up. Like I said, I will dig into it and get back to you.

Aside from that riot, which other riots have happened in the east and compare it to that of other regions.

Why are your people not speaking against the killing of Nigerians of other ethnicities in East including the killing of our security agencies??

From the northern perspective.... We don't give a fvck about the Igboa... We bearly talk about you people in our public places or in our day to day activities... We are focuse on your region... But partially stay in the north, and should know this.

But you Igbos at the other hand carry our matters for head like Gala!!

Always attacking northeners both online and offline...

Here on nairaland or Twitter... Igbos always initiate degrading conversation against the north!!

Lol.... You and I knw that lots of Igbos have been condemning the killings, if you check my post too, you will see that I myself have on a number of occasions condemned the killings.

Most Igbos talk here on nairaland because of the post been created by others. Check the whole of politics section, almost every thread is channeled towards Igbos, and so this make them to speak up in defence, just as you are doing.

Baba how far, how ur side? Been a while.

Someone said that we don't sell lands locate at rural. It will help u to note that lands at rural areas are ancestral lands. Those lands were inherited from fathers to fathers. And in our culture, you will hardly see an igbo man selling his father's land. Even if an igbo man in severe poverty, he will hardly sell his inherited land. Those who eventually sale their own land will hardly sell to someone not from their village/kindred how much more selling it to someone from another state. This is a cultural thing and not because we don't want to sell the land to others.

In politics, we have voted id from other region. Even when Ojukwu contested, we didn't vote for him much. In 2019, we voted completely for a Hausa man, no body shouted that we are been tribalistic. But the moment we voted for our Obi, everyone descended on us saying that we are being tribalistic.

The north that have been voting for their so s almost every election have never been accused of been tribalistic.

Me I don tire for the thing I dey see for nairaland.

I keep seeing that igbos hate other tribe, I keep seeing that igbos do not respect their host.... I keep seeing all sort of things.

But I ask again, what have the Igbos done wrong in Nigeria.?

The Igbos are scattered all over Nigeria, but I have never seen or heard where the Igbos fought the local community and take over their land. All the land, houses, and shops that we own, we bought or rented it. We did not demolish anybody's house, we didn't kill and stole their land yet we are been called all sort of names.
There have been too many riots in the past. There have been riots in the north, in South west targeted against one tribe or religion, but I am not sure that there have ever been a riot I the east targeted against the yorubas or the hausas, except for now that UGM and IPOD issue sprang up. Yet they say we hate other tribes.

There have been fighting Several times between the hausa and yorubas in the south west over little issue... Am yet to see any region where there was a fighting between the Igbos and the locals. Yet they said na the igbo dey cause trouble, whilst all we need is just a place to do business.

They said Igbos don't welcome people to their region, but am yet to see where a group of people where chased out from the east for the sole reason that they are not Igbo. A little traveling in the east will reveal to high the high population of hausas residing in the east, despite the issue of UGM, a lot of them are still there. It is not our fault that some people have refused to travel out of their region.

They said we don't give people land. If you have your money, go to the east and look for land, you will see and buy. When we went to other regions, we bought land with our money, no govt agency gave us land free.
So when you get to the east, look for land and buy, then come back and tell us if you were denied the land because you are Igbo.

So with all the money wey him dey waste for make up, she no fit do better birthday for her father.
