At the bolded...simple. This kind of outrage would have never been witnessed.

If you have similar cultures over there ,then why are your compatriots wailing and cursing SA ,could it be the usual Nigerian arrogance and entitlement mentality popping up once again, like in the Ghana saga ?

They are not Igbos, every Igbo understand this culture that you cannot bury anyhow on an ancestral land. that is why they create communities for easy repatriation of the body. However, you guys did not handle the situation well, you guys could have advised the lady and assist to take the corpse to a government cemetery, rather than creating a protest.

AdolfHitlerxXx:
The funny thing is they caused the negative image of Nigerians in South Africa ... and it will be then that will suffer for it.

Northerners no dey go there. Westerners go only to study. Devloppers go for crime.

Deceive yourself, omo you guys don't travel , have you been to SA before? If you have been to SA you will not type this nonsense. From taxi drivers, to mechanics to painters to POP guys were dominated by Yorubas, I can bet my left ball that this dead guy is a Yoruba guy, because you guys do not have support communities where you reside....blame the Igbos for having Ezes everywhere at least if there was an Eze, this is their responsibility to help repatriate the body

Lionessza6:
What is embarrassing is people who continue to be a nuisance everywhere they go and think this is normal.

And I agree with the rest of your post


And lastly;

You don't Bury a non-native man in tribal land in South Africa and that's that. Only married women can be buried in their husband's villages not the other way round. You can try all you want for this to change ,but it will never change . A man must build his own home ,so that his children and wife could Bury him there ,that's our way down here. Men don't get wived . She should have used her brains and buried the stranger in the city...but no,she inherited the forceful ,overbearing nature of her husband's people and she got served hot . This is disrespectful to and she knows it,she probably was isolated by her family because of this marriage and wanted to get back them ( probably the elders in her family are deceased) AND she foolishly thought the rest of the community will allow this nonsense on their ancestral land

I understand the culture, cos we have similar cultures here in Nigeria, that is why it is good for foreigners to have support communities in cases like this. The best would have been for the lady to take the corpse to a government cemetery.

aribisala0:
Really? Can you really say this in the era of Google? Did you think , as in really engage your brain before saying this?

Igbos do not bury outside that is why we have Ezes everywhere we go, so that in cases like this the Igbo community and the Eze can easily repatriate the body. That is why the Igbos create communities everywhere they settle to avoid this type of embarrassment

Idaytesj29:
Arrogance and chest beating in foreign land? If I were SA people too, I won't tolerate a chest beating and arrogant drug dealer and love-vendor in my community. Doing crimes and still being pumpous and proud of it is not the right attitude.

will you tolerate a humble drug dealer and a down to earth love-vendor?

Idaytesj29:
Very disgusting and their conduct and hatred is shocking and embarrassing.

But we brought this on ourselves, we need to stop chest beating, drug dealing, prostitution pimping, robbery, gun running and cultism in foreign lands.

Cos if we don't, this will happen in all countries against us. We need to do better. We need to only allow the best of Nigerians represent us abroad not crooks and drug peddlers. Thank you

there is nothing like chest beating if someone is confident and arrogant let them, you face your front. Why should my bragging pain you? As long as I am not encroaching on your right, you need not worry about my chest beating unless you are envious

MaziObinnaokija:
Land grabbers and pipu that love being address as King outside their village. Una see una work outside

This is the main reason why Igbos have Eze everywhere so that when situations like this occur it is easy to repatriate the body. That should be the corpse of a Yoruba man. Igbos don't bury outside

DrAkpa:
There is really something wrong with the way you people reason. So you expect Atiku who is spearheading and doing all d groundwork in ADC, to finish cooking the food , and then you obidients with your Obi will come and eat? Abi

Why can't you and your obidients remain in labour party or start up a new party and push for a Southern president? You guys are very very unthinkable

In 2015, Tinubu did all the ground work and Buhari benefited , yet no one complained. You don't have a point

Well there is no point inviting BAT, he has nothing to say...only Bulabah

Snatch it, grab it and runaway with it. Everything over there is grab and snatch and kill.

When I tell people that those from the other side of the Niger are known fraudsters and drug barons...they don't believe...the sadwasters

goslowgoslow:
Do you people read to comprehend at all before making comments?

Are you referring to me as 'you people'?

ruzell86:
We can see through your deception. You're not for Obi.

APC will be gone soon... insha Allah

Obi is the most credible person I can vote for, but if Obi will not get the ticket, them let us continue with what we have.

goslowgoslow:
Obi is not credible he is the last person I will vote for. Joining the coalition of people that destroyed Nigeria confirmed that he is not different from them. Most of those people are still from APC and PDP.
His supporters are not screaming betrayal to Labour party.
And you think Obi will get the ticket when Atiku is still on ground?

Labour Party was literally dead before Obi came in and stirred things up. Tinubu was also part of the people that destroyed Nigeria and he is also doing poorly at the moment, if Obi had serious financial corruption cases against him, do you think the current APC right from 2019 will let him breathe? He is still the most credible among all

helinues:
A new Nigeria with the same crops of politicians. Hahaha, old wine in a new bottle.

Can't you see the flop with the coalition? Even if we want to replace president Tinubu, it has to be someone more credible and strong in leadership. With track records in whatever capacity

Who amongst the coalition have such qualities?

Obi is credible, but if he doesn't get the ticket, I am voting Tinubu

id4sho:
Peter Obi will be his headache, if Dem do anyhow. Obi will decamp again 🤷

if Obi does not get the ticket then let Tinubu continue...the South must complete their 8years

hosemujica:
Na me go win the nomination and na there them eye go clear.

the strongest Southern opposition is Obi, if them no give Obi the ticket, I am voting Tinubu

Warrior99:
No matter the hatred.

God will continue to bless Lagos.

God will continue to bless YORUBALAND.

AMEN 👑

Lagos was already a major trading hub for for British West Africa as at 1890. Lagos has been blessed since its discovery

bcomputer101:
Only in Lagos.

You can never see this kind of development in South East

Lagos is far richer than all the states in the South East put together. There is nothing wrong with that. Same way California is 100x richer than Mississippi. However, let the people in every state feel the effect of good governance. The South East states you are looking at were all a pile of rubbles after the war in 1970. Lagos was already a trading hub as at 1890?? There are no basis for comparison

helinues:
Some governors are struggling to achieve something like this

all governors do not have the same budget. Some states are far richer than some. All states cannot be the same.

lanre4411:
the man is from rivers state I wish he is given an appointment or better still becomes the governor of rivers state

Okey is from Anambra state. He was born in Ahaoda Rivers State where his parents resided at the time of his birth

Bluntguy:
Trump why didn't you let Israel silence the noisemaker once and for all. You lost thirty generals in the course of a few days and you are claiming victory? Shame on Iran

Trump said killing Saddam and Gaddafi created a big mess. Killing the Ayatollah will create instability and a new wave of terrorism in the region

A high Court in Nairobi, Kenya, has ruled that the abduction and detention of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in Kenya and his subsequent rendition to Nigeria in June 2021 were unlawful and illegal.

Delivering judgment, Justice E.C. Mwita held that the actions of both the Kenyan and Nigerian governments amounted to gross violations of Kanu’s fundamental human rights as protected by their respective constitutions.

The court also awarded Kanu 10 million Kenyan shillings in compensatory damages against the Kenyan government for its role in the unlawful abduction and rendition.

Justice E.C. Mwita said, “Having considered the pleadings and arguments by parties, the decisions relied on, the Constitution and the law, I come to the following conclusions:



“First, the government of Kenya violated the Constitution and Mr. Nnamdi Kanu's rights and fundamental freedoms. Having entered Kenya lawfully he was subject to the protection offered by the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the government of Kenya had an obligation to uphold and protect his rights and fundamental freedoms.



“Mr. Nnamdi was, however, abducted, kept in solitude confinement, tortured and denied food and medication, a breach of basic rights. He was chained, humiliated, ridiculed and held in contempt and later forcibly removed from Kenya without following the law in violation of his rights and fundamental freedoms for which the government of Kenya is liable.



“Based on the above conclusions, the court makes the following declarations and orders it considers appropriate: A declaration is hereby issued that the abduction of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu Kanu; holding him in incommunicado confinement, torturing him and denying him food, water, medication and other basic necessities was a violation of his rights and fundamental freedoms.

Mr. Nnamdi was, however, abducted, kept in solitude confinement, tortured and denied food and medication, a breach of basic rights. He was chained, humiliated, ridiculed and held in contempt and later forcibly removed from Kenya without following the law in violation of his rights and fundamental freedoms for which the government of Kenya is liable.



“Based on the above conclusions, the court makes the following declarations and orders it considers appropriate: A declaration is hereby issued that the abduction of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu Kanu; holding him in incommunicado confinement, torturing him and denying him food, water, medication and other basic necessities was a violation of his rights and fundamental freedoms.



“A declaration is hereby issued that the abduction and subsequent forcible removal of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria was in violation of the laws of Kenya; his rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of movement and security of the person guaranteed by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and, therefore, unconstitutional and illegal.

An order for compensation is hereby issued awarding Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu general damages of Kshs 10,000,000 (N119,546,576.79) against the Attorney General of Kenya on behalf of the government of Kenya for the violation of Mr. Nwannekaenvi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu's constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms.”



Meanwhile, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has hailed the judgment as a landmark victory, saying it vindicates the group’s long-standing position since what it described as the sham and farcical trial of its leader in Nigeria.



A statement signed by the IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, read, “The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wishes to formally announce a resounding judicial earthquake that has shaken the legal foundations of the fraudulent rendition of our leader, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.



“In a historic, courageous, and landmark judgement delivered on June 24, 2025, the High Court of Kenya, sitting in Nairobi, found that the abduction, incommunicado detention, torture, and illegal transfer of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria in June 2021 was unlawful, unconstitutional, and a gross violation of his fundamental human rights under Kenyan and international law.



“This judgement vindicates our consistent position that what transpired in Nairobi in June 2021 was not extradition but extraordinary rendition — a criminal act of state-sponsored international terrorism involving the highest authorities of the Nigerian and Kenyan governments.



“We are grateful beyond measure to the brilliant legal leadership of Professor PLO Lumumba, lead counsel in the Kenyan litigation, whose courage, clarity, and tenacity led to this monumental legal victory. IPOB also extends heartfelt appreciation to the Kenyan judiciary, especially Hon. Justice E.C. Mwita, who stood tall against ferocious political interference and international diplomatic pressure to deliver a fearless judgement grounded in law, morality, and constitutional justice.



“We know, and now the world must acknowledge, that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not commit any crime in Kenya. He entered Kenya lawfully as a British citizen.



“He was abducted in broad daylight at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by agents of Nigeria’s secret police in collusion with rogue elements of the Kenyan security apparatus. He was chained, tortured, denied medication, and eventually bundled onto a private jet and flown illegally to Abuja without any extradition hearing or judicial warrant.



“This verdict places a permanent and indelible legal stain on the records of former presidents Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, 'Muhammadu Buhari' of Nigeria and former Attorney General Abubakar Malami, and their accomplices.

It also exposes the criminal lobbying missions embarked upon by Nigerian leaders — from 'Buhari', Osinbajo, to Tinubu and Shettima — all of whom tried and failed to manipulate Kenya’s judiciary to cover up this internationally condemned act of extraordinary rendition.



“Let it be known that this is not the end. This is the beginning of a global accountability campaign. All those responsible — in Kenya, Nigeria, or elsewhere — shall be pursued to the ends of the earth under the universal principle of accountability for crimes against humanity. Neither British diplomatic complicity nor cowardly silence from Western powers will shield the perpetrators from the legal, diplomatic, and moral reckoning that is coming.”



“To Justice E.C. Mwita, we say thank you for your judicial bravery. To Professor PLO Lumumba and his team, we salute your exceptional advocacy. To the oppressed peoples of the world, this is your victory — a warning to tyrants that international borders will no longer shield criminal regimes from justice,” the statement added.

The court also awarded Kanu 10 million Kenyan shillings in compensatory damages against the Kenyan government for its role in the unlawful abduction and rendition.

Liazz:
Am I being unreasonable being mad at my wife?
We relocated abroad 3 years ago but she isn't helping to settle any of the bills.

We both are gainfully employed though I earn much than she does. Our monthly expenditure is about £2000 and she doesn't care to help in any way. I foot all bills making me struggle to save while she keeps all she earns to herself. We also had a loan of over 10 thousand pounds to settle when we relocated, she didn't help with a dime till I paid all bits by bits which took me almost 2 years.

Despite this, I still help with house chores like taking care of our kids, home cleaning and even washing dishes though she does all the cooking.
I've expressed my displeasure several times but she keeps insisting I can't force her to financially assist, it's my job as I'm the husband. She seems convinced she isn't doing any wrong and no sign of remorse whatsoever.

I financed our relocation 100% without her contributing a dime.

This is causing a strain in the marriage and I am thinking if I am unreasonable in my demand, am I?
Your comments are highly welcome.

I don't know who is lying to you guys that it is the man that provides?? Oga na everyone dey hustle na everyone go provide. Same with house chores. You should have divorced her long ago...

iwaeda:
How many people are earning 250k per month, that will be exempted, what of informal taxes by agbero and owomida.

Oga he said household income that's combined income of husband and wife

If you are from the SE and you have any relation serving in the NA, you better tell them to resign. With 3M, you can rent a small shop and start OK business

Gbagura:
I pay ₦22500 monthly for unlimited data. Those who know already know.

I have never seen a real unlimited data plan. I spend over 35k and yet I do not have an unlimited plan. Perhaps you have a way of going around it. If you have an unlimited plan for 22.5k, please tell me the network and the plan. I will subscribe right now for my parents.

donproject2:
...and aggresive marketing I guess.

Earliest entrants are, in most cases, the front runners.

Firstbank were the first movers of POS services/agent banking services, today they are number five. Moneypoint and co are controlling the market.

Kobicove:
An average Nigerian already has two or three different phone numbers, I wonder how they hope to convince people to buy their phone lines

they do not need to convince you, once they roll good pricing models for their data plans, everyone will fall in line. Data is too expensive in Nigeria that is why streaming services are finding it difficult to survive. There is no unlimited data bundle, while in Europe you can get full unlimited contract for an equivalent of 45,000 Naira. 45k in Nigeria will not give you full unlimited.

donproject2:
This is great but I am afraid they are too late, 20 years after, Nigerians have already chosen their poisons.

Naaaaahhhh, the data market is still open. Lebara needs to bring in good pricing models and superb service.
