Samantha125:
What about you? What is your tribe? And please don't tell me it's Yoruba or Igbo, because it's like this forum is packed with those two...😑😑😑

Tried answering but got banned by anti-spam bot for whatever reason. Maybe I should say I'm of the Old Eastern Region.

Samantha125:
It's the third largest tribe...😐😐😐

Wow. Weldone.

Samantha125:
Yes, I've been creating threads about SA tribes for ages, where were you?😒😒😒

The handle in the thread was disabled/deactivated. That's why I asked. Most likely, it's not this handle that you used. You mentioned your tribe in the thread. Sounds like you're from a minority tribe. Am I right?

Wow. I've gone through. You created the thread, right?

Ojagun:
Lol

Look at this submissive/weak man

Woman insult you, you com dey beg am make she no vex

Its over mehn.....ITS OVER!!!

I don't take things that serious here, bro. You sef no vex for her insulting me. Okay?

Samantha125:
No, I'm not Xhosa...😒😒😒

Arh! Which other tribe dey SA again like this?

I thought you guys are sort of homogeneous and you're not really challenged by the tribe sh!t like we have here in Nigeria.

atobs4real:
Wey ur people wan die for?

I don't know what you are talking about.

atobs4real:
Person wey no die for Nigeria all this while come die for USA in a short while.
Na wa oooo

On top abroad wey una wan die for abi?

Samantha125:
At least we don't run away from our problems to countries that are already well established, and if you call fighting to build a better South Africa for our future generations war, then you clearly need to wake up from your slumber.

And for your information, I'm not a Zulu.

Samantha, don't take it too serious, abeg. In Nigeria, we are not too mean like that. I was only joking with you. You are probably Xhosa, right? By the way, I read about your first menstruation ritual and it made sense. That's totally by the way. But on the flip side, I strongly believe apart from the xenophobic sh!t (which may be coming from that same war spirit ), SA would be a wonderful place. I like you guys nonetheless and I hope to visit the country someday.

Samantha125:
For me it was during this one campus protest in varsity, normally during our usual protests, I'd make sure to either position myself at the back, or in the middle of the crowd just so I can easily run for cover the moment the police start throwing their tear gas or firing rubber bullets at us.

That day I don't know what got to me that I positioned myself at the front, I don't know if I was high in the Economic Freedom Fighters Students Command's revolutionary songs or what, because those comrades could sing and their protests carried weight... ... One of the things that had me invested in campus politics was their revolutionary music...

The police positioned themselves and as they started firing rubber bullets and tear gas at us, we dispersed for cover and while I was still in the process of taking cover, I was shot twice, one on my thigh and the other on my butt, I felt the second one that hit my butt knocking out all my dreams and hopes of becoming a comrade, and as if that wasn't enough, a third one hit my back and it was a final nail in the coffin... Those things hurt, I spent the entire week sitting with only one butt cheek... That was my biggest mistake.

Lol. Zulu people. You guys like war too much

Starting a building project when you don't have a business.

Goodmarlian:
It's nothing new African generally worship white men after GOd Infact the mental picture of God and jesus in their brain is a white man with white beads deep inferiority complex
No like the guy was any special nothing he said is creative, jesus tells them he is a Russian and they follow him Nigerian girls will even do worse if he came here women and fish brain 5&6.

You've said it all. The man isn't saying anything special. He just tells them I want to nack and I'll pay you so so amount. That's all.

Umo Eno is a clown


Overfed clown

Calm down, bro. I would personally prefer the oil wells be shared equally among the two states. Akwa Ibom has been owning them ever since and the state is not an eldorado. So what's the point?

Putindbutt:
Have you asked yourself what the US is doing in DR Congo stealing their mineral resources everyday while destabilizing the country with war?. I hate the hypocrisy of the US.

China is investing $20billion in Obidigben gas park. China is investing $60 billion in 4,000km high speed train covering the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. China is providing soft loans to Nigerian Government and they are actively building infrastructures in Nigeria.

What is the USA useful for?. Selling their weapons to Nigeria to make more money in the name of fighting insecurity.

There's no point fighting over what US said. Tell your APC government to sit up and render the activities of both China and US useless in Nigeria. Can't we mine our resources? Why is the FG allowing them to even come in? It's because they are playing politics and don't really care about us. So anybody can walk into Nigeria and do whatever they want. Ain't we supposed to be self-sufficient by now? What is it with borrowing money all the time? What mega project have we completed in the past 10 or more years that make us to run the economy by borrowing?

David must reap the consequences of womanizing. Money isn't everything.

I see him as the most corrupt and NOT the most powerful.

SadiqBabaSani:
U.S have not been sincere from the beginning. Not like I expected them to be sincere anyways, their target was to checkmate the growing influence of China in Africa especially 🇳🇬

You are s!ck. So the Chinese should be allowed to mine our resources illegally.

donareal:
guys, Is this Honda Jazz (manual) worth 5.5M as direct belgium. It's very clean though.

I am considering buying it.

It doesn't. Come buy my Ford Focus 2009 for that price.

HacheNoire:
We need to get something straight.

The United States in North America, is proposing a bill to target Chinese mining in Nigeria, Africa.

Someone should please make it make sense. This is a combo of imperialism and colonialism.

Meaning of our economy decides to shift from the USD to booster our trade, we will be annihilated.

Slavery never stopped, the dynamics was what changed.

I think the Nigerian government need to deliberate if it’s still worth it to celebrate Independence Day.

Calm down, bro. Nigeria needs help. It can't govern itself. Let the US help us.

Starz825:
No matter who you are, or whatever you have amounted to; do not be far away from God..

Listen, Knowing God is more than just going to church....Let God live in your consciousness always...

Its a Win/Win that way....cos whether we all like it or not. The end will come!

I totally understand that. You live, you win; you die, you still win.

This is in order. It's long overdue. Herdsmen are terrorists.

Afikoo:
I am about to get my first car. It's in Lagos I am in Rivers State . It's Naija use

My cousin source it for me and he sent a mechanic to go check it out . It's price at 8M.

Before I buy this , what common problems does it have?.

8M is too much for it in Lagos and it's even a naija used car. Don't buy. Go for Toyota Camry/Corolla instead. Ask your cousin if water drips from the exhaust pipe during first start. If yes, that's a very good sign that the engine is healthy and can carry you for the next five or more years. If no, don't buy even if you wanted to settle for it. Forget about the clean body. The logo is even gone. That's a sign that it could be overused.

This isn't what we want from the US right now but strengthening our democracy through electoral reforms. We need the US to mount pressure on the senate to approve electronic transmission of all election results.

LegendHero:
There is nothing called Nigeria citizen. Are you a Nigerian?

I'm first a Nigerian. Every other thing is secondary.

Where are you going to see condemned plastics in Calabar, especially water bottles? Something that groundnut zobo, sellers, etc. fight for at event places. Good development though. But why not go for real household waste that you can find easily?

LegendHero:
Yes I am only defending him because he is from my tribe.

As soon as he leaves in 2031, I will join hands with you guys to destroy Nigeria image. So be patient

You guys problem has always been about Nigeria's image and NOT Nigeria's citizens. That clearly tells you why we'll never agree. What is a country's image without first considering the people of that country? Make it make sense, please. Is it image that Nigerians are going to eat? Look how the whole country is a mess and you're here talking about image. What image? Deal with the issues the people are facing and you'll directly deal with the image issue.

May the oil of wisdom on your head never run dry.
Wish i can buy you a bottle of chilled stout.

Amen, sir. This really put a smile on my face. I've been on this forum for so long. I'm a Nigerian, I love Nigerians, and I want the best for everyone of us. I don't know anyone here but I believe most of us are Nigerians, living in Nigeria and facing the same sh!t. I pray we all succeed, regardless of consecutive bad governments we are forced to face. One day, things will change.

Naya261:
I am planning of travelling to the UK for my Msc programme. My main purpose of travelling is as a means of jakpa not that I really need the Msc. I sold the land i bought in Asaba in 2018 for N22m. I plan to use the money for the tuition fee deposit ( £5,000) and other travel expenses. The complete tuition fee is £15,330. I will study and work in other to pay the remaining balance.

My plan is to remain in the UK and work after my study. Please I need your advice.

You can't work and pay your remaining school fees. You'll certainly be broken beyond repair. In fact, your plan will collapse. Don't forget, you are only allowed to work 20 hrs weekly. Also, there are no jobs to easily walk in and start working. At the end of the month, you may not be able to save up to £500. Keep in mind there'll be no post-study visa for you in the UK. That means you'll likely migrate to another country after your studies. In fact, don't consider UK. Look elsewhere. If possible, find scholarship opportunities.

I think that another factor you should consider is the influence of AI five years from now. Already, people are struggling with getting jobs. AI is seriously displacing lots of people from their jobs—NOT just IT jobs. Right now, no one is regulating its development and in few years, its influence on the labor market is going to be massive—negatively though. Organizations would always prefer to make more money, replacing people with machines where possible. As the AI continues to create unemployment, countries will begin to focus only on their citizens for jobs. You'll be forced to come back home, or remain a slave over there. You won't be able to make any serious money and you'll pay house rent all your life. Don't forget, you will likely have dependence/family given five years from now. Think!

Coming back to Nigeria, I'd say the country isn't encouraging right now but it's our country nonetheless. You can always find a way around sh!t here than over there. I'd encourage you invest that money here. Take some and buy a land, use the remaining to go into production, especially in the area of agriculture. Do your thing little by little and keep growing. Get a supportive woman to join you and keep growing. The world is growing wild and if you're not from money, it'll be very hard for you to become so rich. However, you can create a stable life that'll ultimately shield your family from lack. That's better than thinking your children would always get a job where you live because there'll always be jobs. Look, a time is coming that even football won't be profitable.

Start building for yourself and unborn family today, forget about this idea of looking for a job. The insecurity crisis in Nigeria is a government thing. Once the government changes, it will go with them.

Brendaniel:
Just look at the scenario, Imagine kidnapping a doctor and his brother who is also a doctor and killed him only to return to the same doctor to save your own child's life, if that doctor was a very heartless person, he will admit the child and just inject the child with something that will kill the child.

Because it was clear they did not even recognize him, that's just to show how many people the kidnappers may have kidnapped that they can't even keep up with the faces any longer, then it also shows how much the government has failed, imagine such of level kidnapping that even made it to national headlines, yet the perpetrators were walking freely without any fear of being even searched for, and looking at them it looks like they are Fulanis.

The government don't give a damn about us. So sad!

LegendHero:
Guy na IpOD start am. $9m is too small, Tinubu should be putting doe $1bn to match them propaganda for propaganda.

Good thing here is that Tinubu will be using crude oil proceed for it while IPOD will be sourcing for donation where they no fit match FG 1%.

When Tinubu leaves in 2031, don’t worry. We will all join in in propaganda to balkanize the country. Just be patient.

We will return everything you are doing to Tinubu government 25X after 2031. South West have the arsenal to do it, we are just resting now.

You people are just making noise and spreading hate all over the place as if there's anything special you are gaining from this government more than poverty and suffering for your people. You're only defending Tinubu because he's from your tribe—NOT because he's a good leader or getting anything right with his government.

He speaks wonderfully well. But there's something he's not getting a true picture about, probably because he's not a Nigerian or living in Nigeria. All pointers show that the FG is sympathetic to terrorism and that also means the Nigerian Army is sympathetic to it as well. With or without the South Easterners in the army, as long as the FG is not giving a damn about solving the terrorism problem, the menace will continue to fester and keep spreading.

So, if you ask me, I'd prefer the country is divided to contain the spread of terrorism. Imagine we have Biafra today, tell me how northern terrorists/bandits/herdsmen will walk the streets of South East. Even the South Westerners will push them off their land (I don't trust them though). The current FG has been aiding their spread. You touch them, you get jailed. They touch you and nothing happens. This isn't the kind of Nigeria that we want.
