Dear Family,

I'm reaching out for your advice, recommendations, and most importantly, suggestions. I've been absent from this forum for a while now, and I'm facing a difficult dilemma.

For context, I was born and raised in Nigeria but left over 13 years ago. I've become completely disconnected from the people, community, family, and the entire environment there.

While I do encounter other Nigerians here, I haven't spent more than 80 hours communicating with them in 13 years. My dilemma stems from my plan to marry a Nigerian woman. She has expressed that we have very different perspectives on life and relationships, particularly within an African context. She's advised me to return to Nigeria to understand how people truly think.

I'm confused by her suggestion. She's recommended specific actions like sitting in a bar, spending time with family, and even trying the food again to get a feel for the culture. She told me during my hangout i should observe both the men and women to understand how they think.

To be honest, I attempted to visit a country with a large Nigerian population. After just five days, I found myself voting for the right wing due to their stance on immigration.

For those that might ask, in out of the 13 years i have lived in a country whereby in my city i was the only black man, i have been only in relationship with the other race, i must tell you its different on how we think, i have seen the best of both worlds and choose the way to live my life. I once had a conversation with a friend's wife, she told me Mr.... No typical african woman can ever marry you. All this really got me concern.

Nevertheless, reading the news on the security issues, being arrassed by Police, people both male and female trying to take advantages how do i survive to visit Nigeria and fly acorss the countries to explore, different regions. All my old friends are no longer there.

I will really appriciate your support.

My advice to you as a fellow guy is that there is no need for you to come to Nigeria.
You want to spend just 8 days to study how Nigerians think. How does the mindset of Nigerians in Nigeria affect your home/marriage?.You are already in another clime, so of what use is your visit?
Bros abeg just dey where you dey and run your matters jejely.
Your girlfriend may mean well by her advice , but that advice is not the way to go at all.

tosinhtml:
Bayelsa is so big and I never realised this, why does Bayelsa not have a Sea Port?

This is so unbelievable, there are so many things about Nigeria that I am ignorant of. Sincerely if the British comes to take over Nigeria for just 10 years, Nigeria will transform totally.

We are a disgrace

You said it all.Poor vision of the political leaders.

Gggjhhj:
I don't know your true intentions when you people upload stuff on nairaland to make Bayelsa feel what it is not, too much propaganda, your stupid governors don't develop the state, Bayelsa is too backward.

Oga tell yourself the truth is Bayelsa beautiful, why not take the pictures closer or you are scared, for the records I be Bayelsa boy, born and bred.
It makes me sick to my stomach when I see stuff like this, that's why we don't grow or be like you no dae travel.
Dumbass go tell your governor to develop the state, stop snapping aerial picture of the state

Come to think of it, how much do they pay you guys for this nonsense

Spot on bro.Bayelsans should hold their political leaders accountable.The state deserves more.It is a really a pity.

christejames:
With a pragmatic leader, Yenagoa will be amongst the best cities in Nigeria







Cute photos by the way!

Very old pictures by the way.

Nailly:
Bayelsa is bigger than 10 Nigerian States

See this Map.

Oya tell me what you mean by tiny.

Despite the fact that Bayelsa is a very new State doesn't make it small all because it's among the newest States.

By no of LGAs, Bayelsa State has the lowest no- just 8 LGAs.
Bayelsa State deserves more.The political leaders need to do more.

SoNature:
Considering how tiny this state is and the amount that comes in in federal allocation, Yenagoa should be finer than this.

You said it all.Yenagoa as a state capital doesn't look it at all. It has a special terrain( swampy and waterlogged) and the state government is yet to take the development of the city serious.
Till date, the Epie Creek is yet to be dredged. Overflowing of the creek during rainy season is the major cause of flooding at the areas along the creek in Yenagoa.

Nailly:
More photos.

The only flyover in Yenagoa is the Berger flyover( leading to Ijaw House, Local Content Towers and CBN) is same in the picture.This picture should be when the flyover was recently completed.
Worthy to note that the flyover has a new look now, thanks to NCDMB for the good artistic works on the flyover columns.

Nailly:
These places that Media don't show you.

Capital of Bayelsa.

Ijaw House is in a sorry-state at the moment.

The Nigerian Army should STEP UP THEIR INTELLIGENCE OPS and go and flush out the IPOB militants in their hideouts.The NA should carry out precision operation against IPOB ,not the scatter scatter operation that usually target harmless Nigerians.

After the Nigerian Army has goofed , they are now withdrawing in 'shame'.
The Nigerian Army is yet to establish the real perpetuators, instead they unprofessionally demolished an entire community and killed unharmed Okuama residents.
Okuama community is seeking redress in the court of law, let's keep our fingers crossed.

Okortor:
Dey play.....if ur father isn't a strong man, then it's a pity!

I grew up when Ogboni dey in vogue for Delta State, and I respect my father for not running Ogboni or Amorc matter.He brought us up in a Christian way.And na that path me dey follow.Nothing on earth go make me go run kele kele matters sey I bam go join Ogboni, Ogbejugbele,Freemason.
I don yarn with a former occult man, brotherly , nothing like having your peace of mind and praying to your Creator on your own and activating your Faith in Him in a higher frequency.

Okortor:
That's if u offend us... We are different from the red cult.. ogboni are viper's if offended.

Which one is the red cult ?

There is BIG DIFFERENCE between Ogboni member and a traditionalist.
A traditionalist worship the Supreme creator in the way our ancestors worshipped Him.
But Reformed Ogboni Fraternity more or less rooted in secrecy , a typical feature of a cult/fraternity.
Why do people even join ROF? Is it to worship the Supreme Creator? No!
Most people join ROF to seek metaphysical powers to achieve their goals in life : protection , fame, business breakthrough. And there must always be Terms and Conditions to get such metaphysical powers.
Before ROF came on board, it was Ogboni Fraternity , with origin from the SouthWest Nigeria.But the burning harmattan ROF wind swept across the entire Nigeria in the 60s to 80s.
One of the key founders of ROF is an Anglican priest.But our Lord Jesus Christ said many people will say on the last day that they did miracles in His name, but He will say He doesn't know them.
OP should follow his uncle advice and subtly quit the relationship.As far his peace of mind has been already disturbed, he should make a U-turn.There are many ladies with beautiful soul out there.Searching continua!

OP, which one you don invent? You dey here dey form wetin we noh know.
So WhatsApp wen add the feature Dem be ekpa shey.
Voice note is an essential feature of social media communication , you go feel the person feeling...and it fit this our present fast-pace lifestyle.
As dem talk, wen the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.Because few of your friends dey abuse the VN feature noh mean sey VN na the worst invention.

beyondPen:
Yes itis God that gives our heart request not church thats the reason many are not interested in church but on God directly

You are right , but the place of fellowship with fellow believers can't be underestimated.
Even those in the world( occult, etc) know the importance of fellowshipping that is why they don't play with their meetings.

tnerro1:
These children should not be made to go through this, they will grow up hating the government

That's natural.

Freezby2020:
Any community that doesn't wants to sleep in the forest should never be too quick in killing government agents: Army, Police, Civil Defense Immi officers etc.

Thank God they allowed them to sleep in the forest, and not banished them forever

This guy na ekpa o.

1972xy:
They are only reaping what they sow.

What did they sow? Okuama community is being oppressed in this case.
The community sent out a petition to Delta State Govt in January 2024.
BTW, is the function of the Nigerian Army to settle Land Dispute ?
Sadly , the inquiry set up is made up of the Nigerian Army.How can we expect a bias-free report?

mauchiz:
They caused problems for themselves, when I was in secondary school in Owerri, once youths start behaving badly, community leaders will write petition to the police and they will invite the person for questioning.
Then if an arm robber is caught, the elders in the community won't allow jungle justice on the person, they must hand the person over to police.
Okuoma residents knew they kill people in their community and they kept quiet.
When I was 16,i saved an arm robber, by going to call elderly people to stop the bloodshed, I hate bloodshed, I grew up with the mentality you don't kill, rather you hand them over to the police.
Let one person in Okuama tell us they don't know their youths are murderers, I don't pity for them.
Whatever you sow in life you reap, this will teach them a lesson.

You don't say what you don't know.Why are you concluding that Okuama people killed those soldiers.
Okuama community earlier sent petition to Delta State Govt in January accusing one of the Ijaw leaders( former NIMASA DG ) of planning to forcefully annex their land.He was accused of using intimidating the community with his high connection.
Nothing was done to that petition.
The Federal Government should set up an independent inquiry to determine the actual killers.SADLY The Nigerian Army is the same body carry out the investigation.

PressMyButton:
Are you sure this is the forest, i can only see a grass field and less than ten persons having a picnic.

I doubt you have been to the Niger Delta.
These guys are holed up in the thick forest, probably because of the interview , they have to come out of hiding.

beyondPen:
You are not alone, the zeal in many of us is no longer there giving we were even born in church. Many nowadays go to church for something. It could be they want miracle (job, money, health) or for show.

Now you simply realize church cant give you what you really want in life as we were told but the actions we take in life.

Although we dont have anything against the church but the truth is we are in the post-religious era

It is not church that gives , it is God that gives us our heart requests.
Church is for fellowship.

Where is the place of the Holy Spirit in your walk with God?
A pastor asked you out and you declined, so because of that you stopped going to church.
For you to be concerned and post this on NL is a pointer that God is speaking to you to return back home.
In this present age of increasing rate of materialism and ungodliness, you should hold on to your faith in Christ.
Why do go to church? We go to church for FELLOWSHIP. Fellowship is more than going to church to show off our new clothes and style. Fellowship is meant to build up our faith in Jesus Christ.
If you are not getting that sense of fellowship in your present church , you are free to look for another church where you can feel that sense of fellowship.

I have lost respect for Nigerian Army.
Till date, they are yet to tell us what those slain military officers and their men went to do at Okuama.
Instead of fishing out the actual killers , the Nigerian Army went about razing down Okuama community.

Germany here Nigerians come.
Even though it is a modern brain drain in disguise , we noh get choice.

Roozzaay:
So because of the crooked Soldiers allegedly used by Okoloba community, the Okuoma people get mind after killing the alleged used soldiers still killed and decapitated bodies of another team comprising senior officers. The NA should level that Okuoma make Okoloba people claim ham, no sympathy for the evildoers

Listen to yourself "...make Okoloba people claim Okuama..."...una plan go fail.
Urhobos are co-owners of the Niger Delta.

Fiscus105:
No matter the situation, you shouldn't take law into ur own hand! But one thing is for sure.


FULANI.

IJAW.

EBIRA

UROBO.

The first 3 are extremely difficult while the last is moderately difficult to leave with as neighbours/friends/co-workers.

Guy, why spewing falsehood here.Urhobos are likeable and very accommodating people.Our hospitality is top-notched...Pls do your findings well before typing falsehood here.

BTW: You can't even spell Urhobo very well.That shows you don't know what you are saying.

The Nigerian Army should STOP THE KILLINGS AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTIES AT OKUAMA COMMUNITY. AND OUR PRESIDENT SHOULD SET UP AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION ASAP TO DETERMINE THE ROOT CAUSE AND THE REAL CULPRITS BEHIND THIS SAD INCIDENT.
Did the slain army officer and his boys got any official clearance from DHQ to go on that ops?
The Nigerian Military should answer all our questions clearly and stop the killings and intimidation asap.

blacknp:
Ekakpamre, host hamlet of Delta Glass, & Transcorp generation company, the army should turn that Okuama village to dust, bunch of stupid illiterate peasants.

Host hamlet?
Omonana vwe ekpa den.
Vwe do omo re Urhobo kakaka.

Franking:
Given the seriousness of the matter, I believe the community should have allowed the soldiers to go with the community leader. I don't believe they'd have harmed him. There can't be authentic peace talk when the perpetrators have not been identified and probably arrested.

Okuama community ( Urhobo )earlier sent a petition to Delta State Govt that one Mr. Akpolo......from Okoloba community (Ijaw)in Bomadi LGA is using his position to intimidate them over an ongoing land dispute.

The Federal Government should set up an Investigation into this matter so we know the real people who pulled this stunt.

blacknp:
Only 50 you are complaining? even at 500, the army never start yet.

No goat or chicken, should escape the Army’s reprisal.

Let me leave you in your Twisted Mindset Paradise.Probably you are a korofo.

blacknp:
I am from Ughelli South Local Government also, the army should deal with those animals properly, the army isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, they should level the entire village, & turn Okuama village to a cantonment.

Useless Peasant illiterates, their cup has finally runneth over, they claim Fulani Herdsmen are disturbing them from farming, yet they cannot apprehend them, but they have the audacity & capacity to kill men of the Nigerian army?

Those hypocrite Obidients wailing for them, should go & buy towels & buckets, because their wailing never start.

You can't be from Ughelli South LGA...probably an impostor from ....
