Yes it did...

The DNA results localised her traces to partly south-south and south east of Nigeria tribal ancestry.
Which makes sense because those were the tribes that were predominantly shipped as slaves

Makes sense. Thanks.

chiagozien:
So it was local communities that carried out attack in Delta?

Now tell us, those that did this one,are they from moon?


Yoruba Muslims reasoning sef.

I don't have time to debate rubbish with an empty mind. Every time I see a post from this particular moniker, it is always rubbish comments. What kind of human being are you??

With over 240 distinct ethnicities in Nigeria, I wonder how a DNA test can give Nigerian as an answer. Nigerian is not an ethnicity. The test should show that her ancestry is partly traceable to a particular tribe or area within Nigeria.

Mbanda:
Am waiting patiently to see if the Nigerian army give the people of Kaduna the okuama delta state treatment.

Was it the local communities that carried out these attacks? The army's response in Delta was reprehensible and condemnable but you need to rest with these off-point attention-seeking comments.

The 20 pieces of ponmo would have filled me up already ah ah!

After the probe, what next? Lol. It takes a single order from the attorney general of the federation to take over and end any prosecution so this one is just for show. Na them sabi anyway. Good luck to Rivers people.

Karlifate:
The same British folks that has bullied & still bulling weaker nations, directly & indirectly, are scared of a stronger bully


Those that kill with the sword are always scared when a knife-like object is dangled in front of them.


LMAO! 🤣

Read well. It is the British saying the Russians should go ahead, and other eurpean experts saying they shouldn't.

descarado:
Stop lying.
The good thing about life is we all have sisters, nieces, aunts, mothers and daughters. It will reach everybody.
Don't advocate cause it is your family member or want to kill somebody on their behalf

Point out the lie(s).

Btw it would take extremely low intelligence for you to think that i don't care about th rights of women just because I don't believe there is a place for feminism as a gendered cause.

But that's an aside. I am eagerly looking forward to an insightful post that shows where the lies lie. Good luck!

Are you being for real right now?

So, no cases right? Rest.

Of what economic importance is it?

The economic importance is too obvious but then must everything be about economic importance?? You don't see the need for social importance too?? Or you just want to criticize?

Nyamiriflathed:
Portugese bear similar names and languages to Spaniards. Does that mean Portuguese are Spaniards. Same for a Scott and English man..

Similar sounds and similar meaning for the majority of names and words in two languages would be a strong indicator of shared heritage. However i havent concluded either. I merely asked for more information...

So, what do you know about the origin of the Ikwerre?

Makamatic:
Nothing concern Benin man and ikwerre but ibos they attack them . Obaseki and oba get issues ibos they say oba they do anyhow on tiktok say them go remove am as ganduje remove emir of Kano meanwhile in all these ibos people full new Benin and Ring road they sell market , them never say Benin people disturb them one day or attack them .. the other day hausa man stab ibo trader , na Benin youths carry the matter for head and got justice for the ibo man . But online una go they attack Benin people wey no get una time . Continue

The thing has been shocking me. Like you have not even finished your quarrel with Yorubas and Fulanis, you now want to add Benin for no reason.

Whalis:
Bros you won't blame them. The ikwerres have a very rich culture and identity which they the Igbos admire. They hardly betray you . See Amaechi, see Wike including O.K Chinda in HOR just to mention but three. Just come to pH and witness our culture and way of life you will see why igbos want Ikwerre identity. An average Ikwerre man is welcoming and do not crave for questionable wealth. We are just contented with what comes to us through hard work . We speak similar language with the Etche people. We don't tell people Etche is Ikwerre. An Etche man sometimes tell people he is ikwerre but we don't agree. This is the same with Ahoada and even Ogba. An igbo man would have claimed to be Ikwerre but their shame is that they are bigger in size. This is why they turned it to Ikwerre is Igbo. To prove to you which culture is richer tell an Igbo man to give you his word of 'Yes'. It doesn't exist in Igbo language. In Ikwerre Yes is Oweee.

But why do you people bear Igbo sounding names? This is one of the major arguments made to advance the assertion that Ikwerres are Igbo. It's rather convincing so I'm curious.

LibertyRep:
What was he thinking before?

Do you all realise that this policy is just the implementation of an extant law? I don't see how they plan to avoid implementing it sooner or later without amending or completely repealing that law.

Mccollins042:
I don't need to Google anything, spending improves economy. If you have a product but the populace are unable to buy it because of their low spending capacity, how does that improve the economy?

You asked a question: "How does spending affect inflation?" The relationship between spending and inflation is one of the basic macroeconomic relationships. If you don't understand this relationship there is no way you will understand anything I have to say. Asking you to google it was only advice. If you choose ignorance, fine.

kkins25:
You get time, but excellent rebuttal. Although, aspects about Nigerian laws may not hit well since, people still cling to traditions

True but that's the point. People have a right to cling to their beliefs - being a feminist won't change that. What you need to change are unequal laws and unequal access to law enforcement and I believe we've largely achieved that in Nigeria.

1Sharon:
Against Nigerian law! against Nigerian law!

You know what you're doing. Your response doesn't mean anything. It's against Nigerian law but is the law enforced ? It's against Nigerian law on paper, but in reality do we see it?

How on earth do you think your deceptive response is a rebuttal when you know very well those laws are hardly enforced?

Of course the law is enforced. If you play your part by bringing these issues to the law, the justice mechanisms will do the rest. If you insist, kindly share cases where abuses were reported and the law was not enforced.

Mccollins042:
God! How does slowing down the economy combat inflation? How does spending cause inflation. Does Nigeria spend more than Europeans and Americans? Spending helps the economy

Lol. Google those questions and learn.

etrange:

You may not see it because you aren't the one on the receiving end, and that's okay. The problem only arises when it's presented to you and you still find ways to dismiss them. I'll give you a few and it's going to be one hell of a long list:

- Do you know that ladies don't get late parent's inheritance in many traditional settings?
- Do you know that a man can send his wife parking without a dime in Nigeria regardless of how long they've been together?
- Do you know there's a huge pay gap between men and women at work?
- Do you know that ladies are still forced into marriage today?
- Do you know that many landlords won't rent out thier spaces to single ladies today?
- Do you know child marriage is still a thing today?
- Do you widows are still made to go through spiritual rites to prove they didn't kill her husband?
- Do you know some ladies still get mutilated?
- Do you know fathers beat thier daughters to pup for having a boyfriend?
- Do you know that men are considered first for management positions at work and political positions, and ladies are only considered when their track records are overly obvious? This implies that women need to work twice as hard to be there.
- Do you know that many educated women are doing small businesses today because thier husbands believe "someone has to run the home" or because their spouses are threatened by the the possibility of them becoming career ladies?

The list is endless, yet all these are more or less institutional and they are NOTHING compared to societal perception and gender stereotypes below:

- Do you know that women are judged by what they put on but we all went on a huge protest when SARS started profiling guys based on thier outfit/hairstyle.
- Do younknow that a woman with a cheating husband is expected to fight for her marriage and find a way to regain his interest while a cheating wife should be sent home?
- Do you know that when a lady get raped today, many people still ask "what was she doing at his place? What was she wearing? Why did she accept his money? Etc."
- Do you know that when a man commits a crime, we all come on this app to criticize him, but when it's a lady, everyone starts insulting the gender "fear women", "Nigerian women are useless", "women of now-a-days", etc.
- Do you know that when a corps member sleeps with his students who indicated interest in him and creates a thread about it on here, many people gather to talk about how these girls are spoiled and not about the adult that took advantage of a teenager?
- Do you know that Davido went around sleeping with different women and getting them pregnant and him that slept with multiple people isn't a hoe, but the individuals he slept with are called hoes even though they were exclusive with him when it happened?
- Do you know that most families reduce the potentials of thier girl child by teaching her how to be a good wife and not how to survive on her own? She does the cleaning and cooking, she learns how not to dress, she learns how to speak gently like a lady, etc. while the boys go out there to explore, make mistakes, learn from them and build the confidence required to push through life as an individual.
- Do you know that morality in society is degenerating and people still believe it's because girls of now-a-days are into money or because they sleep around?
- Do you know that a girl that goes into a guy's to indicate interest in him is a hoe but a man that does it is a sharp shooter?
- Do you know that merely being a lady in the entertainment industry gets you labeled as a hoe?
- Do you know that regardless of how successful a single or divorced lady is, people will still focus on the fact that there is no man in her life?
- Do you know about 90% of all the ladies on this platform left between 2014 to 2024 due to the growing sexism on here?
- Do you know that I only stopped typing cause I have things to do and nor because there isn't more to type?
- Do you know that most guy would quickly dismiss all these as 'imagined' or by saying 'oh, we have issues too'?


You see, feminism is about gender equality. Fighting for equality isn't all about changing the written laws, it's also about changing mindset and empowering women. To be a feminist isn't about hating men or not cooking at home. It's about freedom of choice and equal playing ground. It's not against men (except you really believe one gender should be superior to the other). In fact, feminism will help reduce the pressure on men in our society today. When a feminist preaches, they don't target men alone, they also target all those overly dependent women that you all complain about (the urgent 2k and those that bring nothing to the table). Therefore, we should all be feminists.

The OP has a very brilliant younger sister who is discerning enough to recognize these things at her age, but he's here asking for ways to cut her wings and subdue her. Tomorrow, when she goes after men for survival, he will still be the one to come here and cry foul.

- Do you know that ladies don't get late parent's inheritance in many traditional settings?

Nigerian law has taken care of this. When deprived, go to Court.

- Do you know that a man can send his wife parking without a dime in Nigeria regardless of how long they've been together?

That's a lie. Nigerian law clearly provides for asset sharing.

- Do you know there's a huge pay gap between men and women at work?

This has been disproved globally. Men simply work more than women.

- Do you know that ladies are still forced into marriage today?

This is against Nigerian law.

- Do you know that many landlords won't rent out thier spaces to single ladies today?

Many landlords also don't rent homes to single men. I'm one and had to face the stigma of potentially being a yahoo boy.

- Do you know child marriage is still a thing today?

This is generally against Nigerian law but yes it is a problem in certain parts, and probably the only valid point you've made here.

- Do you widows are still made to go through spiritual rites to prove they didn't kill her husband?

This is against Nigerian law.

- Do you know some ladies still get mutilated?

This is against Nigerian law.

- Do you know fathers beat thier daughters to pup for having a boyfriend?

Okay, fathers (and mothers) beat their children for all sorts of things. How is this a feminist issue?

Secondly, do you think teenage pregnancies have a disproportionately adverse effect on girls than on guys? If yes, would increased protection by way of discipline be good or bad? Btw, focusing on fathers here when both parents are just as likely to beat their daughters for sexual misdemeanours is sexism from you.

- Do you know that men are considered first for management positions at work and political positions, and ladies are only considered when their track records are overly obvious? This implies that women need to work twice as hard to be there.

No I don't know that. I'd be interested in seeing your source/evidence.

- Do you know that many educated women are doing small businesses today because thier husbands believe "someone has to run the home" or because their spouses are threatened by the the possibility of them becoming career ladies?

If a couple agree on how to run their home, I don't see how that is an issue for the rest of us.

The list is endless, yet all these are more or less institutional and they are NOTHING compared to societal perception and gender stereotypes below:

- Do you know that women are judged by what they put on but we all went on a huge protest when SARS started profiling guys based on thier outfit/hairstyle.

This is a genuinely absurd thing to say. Young men are still judged by their appearance. Dreadlocks, tattoos, etc are frowned at for men. We protested against SARS because they were being killed for it! Have a word with yourself.

- Do you know that a woman with a cheating husband is expected to fight for her marriage and find a way to regain his interest while a cheating wife should be sent home?

That's only because these women are overly dependent on their husbands. Nowadays empowered Nigerian women are getting divorced every day - go to Court and see.

- Do you know that when a lady get raped today, many people still ask "what was she doing at his place? What was she wearing? Why did she accept his money? Etc."

Nigerian law forbids rape. People will always ask stupid questions, this is not a feminist issue.

- Do you know that when a man commits a crime, we all come on this app to criticize him, but when it's a lady, everyone starts insulting the gender "fear women", "Nigerian women are useless", "women of now-a-days", etc.

No. Can I see evidence?

- Do you know that when a corps member sleeps with his students who indicated interest in him and creates a thread about it on here, many people gather to talk about how these girls are spoiled and not about the adult that took advantage of a teenager?

No, I have seen such persons get bashed roundly.

- Do you know that Davido went around sleeping with different women and getting them pregnant and him that slept with multiple people isn't a hoe, but the individuals he slept with are called hoes even though they were exclusive with him when it happened?

No I don't. Maybe share some sources showing that the individuals are called hoes while he hasn't ever been called that, and that they were in exclusive relationships at the time - though I don't know why we're discussing Davido.

- Do you know that most families reduce the potentials of thier girl child by teaching her how to be a good wife and not how to survive on her own? She does the cleaning and cooking, she learns how not to dress, she learns how to speak gently like a lady, etc. while the boys go out there to explore, make mistakes, learn from them and build the confidence required to push through life as an individual.

Nigerian law provides for equal access to education so girls certainly are out there - wherever out there is. If anything it sounds like the girls are getting preferential treatment here.

- Do you know that morality in society is degenerating and people still believe it's because girls of now-a-days are into money or because they sleep around?

No. Would like to see your source.

- Do you know that a girl that goes into a guy's to indicate interest in him is a hoe but a man that does it is a sharp shooter?

No.

- Do you know that merely being a lady in the entertainment industry gets you labeled as a hoe?

No. Can't remember anyone ever calling Patience Ozokwor a hoe for example.

- Do you know that regardless of how successful a single or divorced lady is, people will still focus on the fact that there is no man in her life?

Some people will always think a certain way. This is not a feminist issue.

- Do you know about 90% of all the ladies on this platform left between 2014 to 2024 due to the growing sexism on here?

Interesting. Share your source.

- Do you know that I only stopped typing cause I have things to do and nor because there isn't more to type?

No, but I'm glad you stopped.

- Do you know that most guy would quickly dismiss all these as 'imagined' or by saying 'oh, we have issues too'?

Interesting. So you want to use this point to emotionally blackmail guys into agreeing with you?

Gerrard59:
To be fair, Northern Muslim women don't have the same rights as their counterparts in the south. Islam is the only ideology that fought really hard against Westernisation. So, I can understand.

What specific rights do northern women not have?

Blazetrailer:
..you dont have enough idea about economics either. Theories and actual experiences have shown that fiscal taxes are most ineffective control of inflation. Monetary policies are. Tinubu goofed. He must have overheard one of thos hos patch patch advisers saying sonrthing like that, he just rushed to blurt it out without thinking. Just like he goofed in devaluing the currency by not weighing the total implications. Something managed effectively by an illiterate like Buhari. Now inflation is projected to be near 40% by year end and Nigeria economy contract to the 4th largest in Africa.l from 1st position, based on one brazen stupidity.

Is it that you can't read or do you just love to talk? Did i not clearly just say I didn't agree with the policy?

Well, the idea as he said then was to slow down the economy to combat inflation. At the time, I didn't think it was the right way to go (and still don't), because the causes of inflation are not totally related to the spending power of the masses. Farouk doesn't seem to have a great grasp of economics though he is right in pointing out that the masses are getting increasingly disaffected.

BloodyDoe:
I noticed that on some social media space especially X, the term “Feminism” is mostly misused by those woke girls who’s only job are to wake up in the morning and be pretty for their cameras. Whatever social injustice they might had bear is nothing compared to that of a woman who’s due for a promotion since the last 4 years but can’t get it because she’s a woman. A woman that has refused to open her legs to get fvuked for what’s duly hers. And yet she gets mocked every now and then and her male colleagues are trying everything to make whatever space she has at toxic.

I am a woman and I suffer social and emotional injustice every now and then.

I'm sorry about your struggles. However these don't sound like feminist issues to me.

What is feminism? It can best be understood by what gave rise to it in the first place. Feminism, like any other major social issue deals with the restructuring of society to drive equality. To be a feminist at that time meant to identify with the idea that women deserved equal rights because they were no less human than men.

In the modern day, in most developed countries, this has been achieved, including in Nigeria where there is no major right that men have that women don't have. You can go to school, work, and vote and be voted for. You can buy and own property. These are the rights the original feminists fought for. So, now that you've been put on an equal footing with men, what more are you fighting for on a systemic level?

Coming back to why I'm saying the things you mentioned are not feminist issues, if your boss wants to sleep with you to give you a raise, this is against the law. Your problem is a basic labour law issue and the fact that you're a woman doesn't then necessarily make it a feminist issue. Just like a man can be denied a promotion because his boss feels threatened by him or the boss is a randy female - that wouldn't require a meninist movement. It just requires the application of existing laws.

BloodyDoe:
I don’t see any problem here, what’s wrong against advocating for women’s right. Feminism as it is, is the political and economic liberation of women all over the world and we need more women, young girls to wake and stand against all form of gender segregation and stereotypes against women.

Feminism is not a woman refusing to cook for her husband or whatever you think it is. It is both men and women standing on equal grounds in the society.

If you read the OP you would have seen that this is exactly the idea of feminism the girl has. Besides, what rights would a Nigerian woman say she doesn't have today? Genuinely curious.

Benin is a puppet country controlled by France which is angry at Niger for driving them out of their country.

Before the coup France was paying 8 Euros for a KG of Uranium, today Niger is selling its Uranium at 200 Euros per KG and they are bitter about it.

Maybe Niger should have though about that before raising their shoulders. You want to carry shoulder for Nigeria, a whole giant of Africa? Yet small Benin are too big for you. No be by initial gra gra at all.

You are actually very dull and not smart if you can't read between the lines to know that the statement lacks any form of conviction.
He is merely placing the life and environment of those communities in the hands of investors

Young man go and find something useful to do. This conversation is not for you! You see, it's not everyone I will bother to explain things to - those dull fellows I replied above, at least showed a little promise so I know they can understand to some degree when I explain to them that environmental protection already falls within a highly structured framework of laws, regulations and enforcement agencies - in fact so many that there are recommendations to even eliminate a few.

CountinBlessins:
Why are you guys in the southwest always so rude and uncivilized?

I'm neither from nor in the South West. Also i wasn't rude - there is nothing I've told you that isn't true. You are thoroughly ignorant and arrogant about it too! And if your mind isn't indeed insipid, why would you confidently assume a faceless profile is from a certain area?

Rest jare.

emorse:
The fact the he even had to mention it does. Things like this should be a matter of policy and not just word of mouth.

It was only a friendly reminder Mr man. There are well-detailed laws, regulations, and enforcement bodies in charge of environmental protection. Should be obvious, shouldn't it?

CountinBlessins:
Are you joking right now ? Is this how the president of a nation is meant to regulate foreign affairs?

Just tell them casually not to leave it in ruins instead of signing an executive order to regulate and ensure these miners reinvest in the communities?

Are you a graduate?

I know 60 - 70% of you have no clue whatsoever how these things work. That's okay - that is exactly why people like me are here. To pour knowledge into your insipid mind! There are agencies that are already empowered by law to regulate and implement environmental protections. An additional executive order when there are laws and regulations on ground is as meaningless as the degree certificate you got, if you really do have one in the first place.

While you are at it, look up NESREA and the NESREA Act, and get back to me: http://nesrea.gov.ng/
