That is Igbe Road in Auchi, Edo State
Igbe road is the tiniest narrowest main road in Nigeria. Even two 'keke's can't drive through it.
Bad drainages.


Nothing good ever comes out of Auchi.
The Otaru of Auchi is a radical failure.
Apostle Suleiman is a greedy fake,
The students of her polytechnic are less than half-baked.
APC has ruined that small slum....Otunba Magaji misappropriated funds for the rehabilitation of ICE road to Igbe Road and he was rewarded by being 'Turbanned'.


......
This will spoil business for those oloshos and pick-pockets that hang around Possible White and Presidential hotel near Ikelebe, Public field.


Only mechanics and mallams smile now in thay Cursed land.

The way you described the place, you must know that area more than my ancestors. Are you a prince there

Nothing wey person no go hear about this airport. I guess the next news will bats flying everywhere in the airport.

We are the dead, all of us, we are hidden in spiritual mental graves.

Mental devolution just like the devolution of King Nebuchadnezzar from King to animal/beast, that is the death the Bible is talking about.

We, all black people are the dead. All Nigerians are dead. Because we are dead we have fertile land and good climate yet we import food. Because we are dead, we have crudeoil yet we import petrol, we cannot make our refineries work because we lack the technical capacity to do so. Because we are dead, we cannot complete Ajaokuta steel, yet we produce thousands of engineering graduates every year.

Bro, the dead people of the Bible is all of us black people.

Me am not a dead person o. I'm alive just like you, unless you're typing from your grave. I didn't know ghosts have accounts here on Nairaland. I can come to your grave and show you I'm not dead like you probably are. I know for sure I'm not dead,; I'm alive...

No throw that kain stone come my corner men. SmartMugu die ke? In this recession? You know how much burial costs? Make dem come bury me for carton because coffin don cost?Tufiakwa.
Even if i must die, not during the recession. Make dem come dey share yobo and pure-water for my burial? No be that kain death i want abeg. Any weapon fashioned against me and everyone around me shall go back to the sender. Amen
Na only you know those wey dey control you. I must reach 150 before i die. I rebuke everything you just talked about and your mentality entirely. What the hell have you been reading bro? You fkkd..up upstairs bro, you need to fix that asap. I can recommend a good psychiatrist. Trust me, he'll fix ur brain.

Life i is sweet, you don reach heaven before? Tell us ur experience.
Not sure where you're getting your own theory from.

I'm sure some people will come here and start blaming Buhari, Kanu, witches and wizards for this. Just watch and see them. They'll be here soon, just watch.

Chairman, I'm Yoruba too, I guess that's what you meant by "Afonja". I never even knew what that was until I found out it's a Yoruba actor. Are you being tribalistic here? What did he do to you to name an entire tribe after him?

Most of my friends are Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba. In my opinion, it's not okay to generalize. I don't even live in Nigeria, but my identity still remains Yoruba. Many of the people I know were my friends from primary school, secondary, tertiary school from back in Nigeria and they come to the country I stay to visit me, sometimes with their families. Everyone from different tribes. My best friend from over 25 years ago is actually Igbo. He was still here to visit me last year. We don't have no problems with eachother. That's the type of love we have within us. Not sure why you are so tribalistic.

Deal with the human, not his tribe. No tribe is perfect, but you can find good people in every tribe. Who knows, one person from any tribe you're against may be able to give you whatever you need right now. Don't just assume everyone from one tribe is the same. Get to know them individually and see who's ur friend and whom you don't want to mix with. Generalizing isn't ok.

One of my friends will be coming over to visit my family at my place in two weeks, he'll be here with his wife and daughter. They'll be here for about a week.
Guess what, they're Igbos. I've known them for over 12 years and they are good people to me even though I'm Yoruba.
I stay at their house whenever I visit them, they stay in mine whenever they visit the state I live in, that's how close we are.

Please stop generalizing and understand people can be measured individually versus assuming an entire tribe is this or that like you portrayed in your comment.

See levels, dem wan force boys to marry by force by fire.

OP, could you please add paragraphs to what you wrote? Sincerely, it looks ugly and like something written by a primary 4 kid now.

YukHub:
Back in the days When the naira hard value.. Not now that buhari has killed it and render it useless :-/

Yes, the Naira hard value

Come to think if it, if the Igbos leave, what exactly do the other remaining tribes have in common with the Hausa? If nothing, shouldn't everyone just stick to their regions and maintain their own countries?

It was peaceful when this woman got locked up. Do we really have a correctional facility Nigeria? It appears she reinforced her madness wherever she was locked up at.

Please tell me why the students won't be thoroughbreds as opposed to the workhorses Nigeria produces.

this is sad really

This will never work in Nigeria. Even if a governor or FG builds one of these master-pieces anywhere for only 300 students, the hostel will end up having more than 5000 students. That's why a room intended for one or two students end up having the one or two original owners and 10 additional squatters. How can such a place stay in shape?

Blue3k:
Understandable that's why local police run by LGA's are preferred. You vote in a sheriff you like to carry out law enforcement. This way the stay accountable to you directly. Every issue with police is pretty much domiciledone to local government so you don't need state wide majority to make a change.

That's how it's done in the US. Each county with its own police, state troopers on major roads and the feds handling federal issues. Each of them separated from eachother and no single individual solely controls them all.

MarieSucre:
So when you watched Rambo, you carried gun and started killing people se. Or when you watched Resident Evil you became a zombie? nonsense Nigerians can mask their bigotry in absolute total rubbish.

Denrele, is this you?

Well, thanks for the informative post.
Bees have been in existence forever, is there any threat to their existence today or why are we discussing this?

Yes, the hustle is real.

Why Denrele? Now many parents will block their kids from watching the show so their kids don't end up like him or her, whichever is valid in Denrele's case.

Dead on arrival.

That boy brain has been manipulated somewhere for rituals, same way otedola used his son for rituals and started selling us thé "autistic" bullshît.

Or

Hé has eaten our looted funds from his father, so tey hé no resemble sane human being again.
Wetin concern me! Nigerians and evils!

Do you have any proof for what you just said about Otedola?

If not, just pray you don't end up with an autistic child so you don't experience what their parents go through, and don't end up being called a ritualist for what you know nothing about while praying God intervenes in your child's life. I'll just assume you're not a parent yet, if you're one you'll understand the pains parents go through from having an autistic child and wouldn't have made this comment if you can put yourself in their shoes.

I'm saying this because I'm close to parents with autistic children, I know the pains they go through, yet people like you call them ritualists. A close family member of mine for example ended up having an autistic daughter after he got married. Him and his wife are constantly in and out of hospitals whenever their daughter's symptoms start. That's painful enough. Now people around them accuse them of being ritualists, just like you just did. This guy was already rich before he even married. That's a second pain-point for them, being falsely accused of being ritualists is wrong.

Just pray it doesn't happen to your child, else people around you will condemn you as a ritualist too when you're eventually successful in life.

Lobatan. At 13 I was in JSS 2 I think. Back then there were so many strikes every year. Lol

Oh, Good news. Nigeria is finally improving. All snow-white cows on a beautiful and tarred road. What a view.

Oh God. Which kain people come dey appear these days under this administration?

LazyNairalander:
i concur! You see nothing is impossible in that your country nigeria.

Lol, no be your country too. You be Biafra or arewa?

'' even in sane countries '' I am interested in that line.

Beggars are everywhere in the world. Have you heard of US,UK,Canada, Australia etc taxing their beggars? They don't even have a record of them.

banmee:
Under normal circumstances in a normal society, keyword here being "normal", what they are proposing is nor far fetched. Everyone who earns an income must be taxed. But, nigeria is not a normal country so what they are proposing does not make sense. For it to succeed you need a data base which Nigeria does not have. Plus, it is one of the most corrupt countries in the world and what would happen is it will be another avenue to harass and extort people. An official can simply point to anyone on the streets and claim that the individual is a beggar and attempt to tax him or her. What a phucked up country. Smh.

Even the US and the UK that have databases of all their citizens don't have a database for their beggars. Nigeria with no database of the entire population wants to start taxing beggars. How's that possible? Yeye leaders with yeye mentality.

afonjay:
there are beggars re better than u. go to north nigeria u ll understand what am telling u. chk bank acct and asents as u can see them on the street

To take taxes from anyone, you first have to have a way of tracking their income. How can the FG track a beggar's income when they don't even have a means of tracking traders' income?
Beggars are everywhere, even in sane countries, only Nigeria wants to start taxing them.

This is the funniest thing I've heard this year . FG must be the newest set of comedians in town Beggars paying taxes Abeg somebody help me stop laughing . Basket-mouth, Aki and PawPaw, Alibaba,Seyi Law, Klint d Drunk and their other friends suppose dey this cabinet so that we laugh more everyday. We need am
Where dem find these kain yeye leaders from?

Nigeria is the only country in the world where the masses get sense pass the leaders. Shouldn't it be the other way around? E dey bahave like say the supposed leaders brain dey upside-down sometimes

Abeg which mumu for Aso rock abi na Senate come up with yeye idea abeg?

You know how many beggars dey Nigeria now? Roughly 37% direct beggars, 61% indirect beggars and 2% semi-beggars, total=100%. About 68.9% of the entire Nigerian population is either a direct or indirect beggar (40.8% direct beggars we see everyday on the streets doing bambiala on the street or those in various camps, remaining 28.1% are the indirect beggars - coded-begging na their own approach ). Another 1.7% na semi-beggar - their brand of begging is in suit and tie type style of begging. Other levels of beggars can buy suit and tie too to join that level of begging, even the cripples,deaf and dumb, blind ones, and the ones wey get leprosy - corporate style of begging na him make sense pass for Nigeria today. Beggars sef dey adapt to the current trends.
Common man know how to analyze and classify all types of beggars, unfortunately the lawmakers no dey shine their eye and observe.

Even the police, custom, immigration etc are glorified beggars in uniform. Some graduates with no job are now under one of the three categories of beggars. Many of our beautiful ladies that chose to become prostitutes are indirect beggars. Even bankers go beg - applying the indirect-beggar methodology for you to open an account with their bank so they can keep their jobs, similar to same way prostitutes open their legs to make something from you. So, what's a proper definition of a beggar now?
Is there a database for all of them? How will their income be tracked and tax calculated?

Gentle warning to FG, If all of these beggars start riot, all beggars departments at once, same day same time, Aso rock and Senate building no go contain them if all of them follow waka come Abuja at once o .

Una never see where both cripple beggar, blind beggar, deaf and dumb beggar and their other friend wey get leprosy follow join, all both four of them dey chew ministers and senators brains ba? Town dey hot o. Make una just compose and behave. Specially prepared eggs don dey turn bulletproof car windows to common nylon now o, correct stone fit enter una bulletproof car easy - Made in Nigeria technology -jazz. Make una just compose. If una need borrow una children brain to think, it's allowed.

Them no touch una hustle, una wan quench their own hustle. Na so? Some beggars sharp pass many ministers and senators for Nigeria o. Touch not their annointment. Dem no bother una looting, make una no bother their hustle too o. Just an advice.

Make una just leave them for their corner jeje if you can't help them. Touch them not, na una create them.

FortuneTeller:
Regardless of what any lawyer tells you, you won't win that custody battle to bring them back to Georgia. The reason is that your ex and the kids are now residents of Michigan, based on how long they have been there. I'm not saying a good lawyer can't make a case for it, but it would be very difficult. You can't say Detroit isn't safe, because other kids live there. You would have to specifically prove that your wife is not in a safe place and the imminent danger surrounding your children. Even then, she may only be required to move them to a safe environment, which does not necessarily have to be in Georgia. If you are really set on divorce, the best way to handle things is to let her come back to you and wait until her residency is re-established in Georgia. That is the only way you can possibly prevent her from relocating. If you don't do something, I really fear what may become of your children there. Please try marriage counseling. Also, even if you and your wife are not religious people, I strongly recommend attending a small solid church. The impact of having a personal relationship with a pastor and church members, can truly determine whether a marriage succeeds or fails.

Thanks again.
I don't have a problem with relocating to Michigan, or Ohio that's so close to Michigan if that's what I need to have joint custody of our kids. Houses over those areas are cheaper than many places in the US. Matter of fact, about 4 years ago, I found a 4 bedroom home for about $35k in Southfield, Michigan, I liked it and showed her the pix. I had much more than that in my account back then and could have just paid cash for it.

What I realized over time is that you cannot force someone to love you. When someone that was smiling with you for years suddenly starts frowning at you at every sight and chose to move to a different bedroom in the house apart from the master bedroom you shared together years before, it's a bigger problem for outsiders to understand the full picture. I'm not perfect, she's not perfect either - we are both humans and subject to mistakes.

Anyways, we had no intentions to move back to Michigan back then, I was just thinking it could be our vacation home. While we are not there, AirBnB was an option or we could just rent it out to someone. The times we went to Michigan with the kids, we ended up staying in hotels. I thought it would be better to have a vacation home there. She objected to that, so we ended up not buying the house.

So, it's somewhat weird to know she now moved to her family house where her brother and his baby mama lives with his kid, his baby mama, their mom and dad, thats just a 3-bedroom house in Detroit. Her brother was in the US navy for 4 years, as soon as he left the navy he started going in and out of prisons for same thing- fraud.

She could have at least be in the home we were going to buy in Southfield if she allowed it. Why move back home to your parents at this age. Several things are just weird to me now. May be I'm the crazy one, but I think she's the crazy one more.

I know my only problem now. It's just my emotions. My kids are innocent, they know nothing about what's happening between mom and dad now at their ages. The oldest is just turning 7, they actually think they're on a vacation now and coming back home soon. But their mom and dad already have a different problem.

SmartMugu

Thinking about your children almost made me cry. I hope they are not in Detroit, because you are standing by to see them suffer. Imagine your son missing his father and wondering when he will see him again. By now, you should know how hard it is for young black boys to stay out of trouble in this system of America. Do you want your son to become a victim of the streets due to peer pressure? Living in ATL you see all the homosexual men. I'm sure if you ask, many of them will tell you they were raised by single moms. Who else will the son pattern if only the mother is there? What about your daughter? She will be looking at your wife dating different men and learning bad behavior. She may feel a sense of abandonment and start looking for that in men when she becomes older. Are any of these people giving you advice married? Are they your age mates? You have reached what many never have: a great job, a wife, and kids. You have it all and you want to throw it away. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. You're letting the enemy have victory over you life. I thought you were smart, but I see you are really a mugu for the devil.

Yeah, they are in Detroit right now. I lived in Detroit for about 6 years before moving to Atlanta. I left there during the 2008 economic recession in the US, and after my neighbor knocked on my door and pointed his shotgun at me unawares and held me hostage with two others. After his sentencing was when I moved to Georgia. I was considering Texas and Florida, but I first got a job here in Georgia.

I don't want my kids to grow up in Detroit. Many of my Nigerian friends there already left for somewhere else, many of my American friends ended up getting shot and killed, they're gone, some locked up in prisons.

My ex before my wife ended up getting strangled to death by her new boyfriend after we broke up. The dude also strangled her 10 year old son while he was asleep after he already killed my ex. I didn't know anything about it until I started seeing 'RIP' on her page on Facebook page.

So, her new dude just strangled her and her son to death? Her name is Courtney Durr, you'll find a lot of news online about her. The dude that killed her got arrested and he's in prison again now, but Courtney was who I was dating before I met my wife.
Matter of fact, here's a link on what happend to her http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/sentencing-next-for-man-who-killed-southgate-mother-her-young-son

I don't want my kids to be exposed to that type of stuff, that's why I think custody battles is better off if she's hell bent on keeping the kids in Detroit. I don't want them there.

Benita27:
We don't have to applaud them for meeting up to the international standard. It's what happens in airports in saner climes, they should've started using this method long before now.

Just my thoughts tho.

At least they started somehow. There are still more they need to learn from saner climes. Not to be rude, Nigeria still has a lot to learn, but on this one, I think whoever thought about it deserves some credit.
