babasolution:With the type of federal army that we have, most villages cant arm up for defense, because the army will come and disarm them. |
franchasofficia:Aside from division, the only other way to stop this conquest is for the creation of regional govt or state police. That way, we know that if fulani are attacking a village or community, they will not be waiting for the federal army to come to their aid, rather their own brothers who are the state police will come and rescue them. |
babasolution:This is not the time for the south to be trading blame. All we need is a unified front to defend the southern teritory. |
Gerrard59:You have said it all..... |
Deogratiasfx:We as christians, we are good at losing our identities in the name of wokeness. It will be too late before we realise what hit us. |
Deogratiasfx:Thats the sad part. All what our christian leaders do is to preach about tithe and prosperity. I saw a video where Adeboye was saying that every other christians denomination will bow before RCCG members. This are the things that divide chritianity and they cant sit together to defend theirself. |
flokii:Who told you south east land are not fertile. And plz this thread is not for this una tribal bashing. |
heniford2:I may agree with you on this because igbos always go back to their father land once in a while. So no matter how they are been displaced, once the attackers try to settle in their land, they cant succed because they will definitely meet resistance from the indigenes. But that doesnt stop fulani armed men from attacking soft targets. Ihamufu community in enugu have been coming under attacks off recent. I dont see what they govt is doing about it. I even read in a news of an attacked that happened after the army left their base in the community. WHo gave the order to withdraw the army from their base. Just like i said, let the army go back to baracks, let the police and local vigilante spear head this fight againts banditry. |
In every forest in this nation, there are armed fulani men terrorising the locals within that area. Its not a secret any more. the locals of tried to manage them, but those fulanis are armed to the teeth. If something drastic isnt done, most of our villages will turn to Ghost Towns like Birnin Gwari. I will like you guys to read more about Birnin Gwari. Read about how the village was once a bubbling area full of farming activities. People from all over Nigeria troupe to Birnin Gwari to buy commodities. That town is a business hub in terms of farming commodities. But right now, more than 70 percent of the indigenes have fled the area and the town is mostly a ghost town. I think there was a thread on FP about 3 weeks a guy on a guys experience travelling through brinin gwari. Kindly look for that thread and see how bad that place have become. But the funny thing is, our govt knows that there is a massive number of fulani bandits in that area. That area seems to be their head quarters, that area is within Ingeria, not at the border with another country. How come our securities have not launched a massive operation to rid that place from these terrorist. All they do is to escort travelers to pass that area. |
surgical:They are only interested in picking up people who talk bad against the govt. |
The greatest threat to the unity of this nation is this armed bandist and kidnappers who use the money they recieve from ransom to further buy arms used in terrorising the citizens. If this country did not break up and govt did not improve on security, then forget it, soon this nation will turn to a fulani colony. Modifeid... Lets all take a lesson from the happenings in Kaduna. Kaduna that used to be a state of mixed religion, is now tending towards a one religion state. We are all seeing the attack happening in southern kaduna and how govt are acting as if nothing is happening there. We all saw how some of the southern kaduna traditional rulers were killed and replaced by emirs. Before Elrufai came, Kaduna have been having mixed religion in the gov and deputy gov, now el rufai have made it a one religion something. ANd before those of you forming woke will come and be speaking trash, go and watch the video how how elrufai was boosting that he has finally placed Kaduna in the hands of the believers and hope to replicate same in Nigeria. Thats how it starts, its all part of the grand plan. |
3) Our village farmers no longer go to farm. The inflation on food price is just beginning, in 2 years time, we all will see how scarce food will be. From every corner of Nigeria, the story is the same. You go to farm, its either armed men kidnap you or you get killed. You succed in farming, when its time for harvest, the armed men either loot the farm or they burn it down. The stories are the same everywhere. Even in the South East where people are saying ESN is protecting them, the killing of farmers is happening there. And the worst part of it, there is no solution in site. Go and ask all those with rice mill and see how they now struggle to get rice to mill, unlike before when the farmers beg them to come and buy. If care is not taking, soon the food we will be selling at the markets will be food imported from neighbouring countries. The industrial and commercial farmers we have mainly serve our industries. What makes food cheap in Nigeria are our local farmers who farm from all angles, but currently those local farmers have either been killed, their farmland destroyed or have abandoned their village and have gone to the city for fear of been killed. We all saw the video of Benue people running away from their homes. 90% of those people might not come back to their village again, and these are the farmers that help make food cheaper. Go to Jos, Benue, Zamfara, Katsina< Kebbi, Nasarawa etc. Same stories. Farmers are being displaced. Go to Niger state, Kaduna, same thing. Just pass Birnin Gwari area in Kaduna state. A farming community, bubbling with farm produce markets have now been reduced to ghost towns. These states are the farm powerhouse of Nigeria. Yet instead of govt to tackle this issue, they are busy bursting and sealing peoples warehouse and Nigerians are hailing the govt. If I may ask, is this the first time that people started doing "storage of food commodity." Instead of the govt to tackle supply issue, they are busy release "storage". When the "storage" finish, what next. I will end with this... You dont blame a Lion for preying on the Antelope, because its the nature of the Lion to feed on live animals. So also, I dont these fulani men for trying to displace people across Nigeria, esp in the south, it is in their nature to conquer lands. I blame the people, esp the leaders who instead of fighting for the interest of their people, they chose the wine and dine with the enemy, just because of the loaf of bread that was given to them. I once asked a captain in the Nigeria army, why is it that soldiers in the east can easily attack a village, burn people houses and go Scot free, but same cant happen in the north. His answer... Easterners have high ranking military men. Why is it that they cant challenge the authorities of the army when such things happen. Why is is that they cant summon and question the officer who led the attack on innocent villagers. This is because our own people cant speak up for fear of losing the loaf of bread in their mouth. |
2)To curb the issue of banditry, kidnapping and constant attack by armed men on villagers, let all the soldiers go back to their barracks. Let the MOPOL and police handle this issue. Again, I wont spill out the information I have, but I will just drop some open example. Use your tongue to count your teeth. If you follow the news very well, you will see that on several ocassions, soldiers have clashed with police in areas where armed men are operating. And if you look at the case critically, you will see that the soldiers are trying to hinder the police from doing their work. -Recently, in Jos(mangu) we heard the news of soldiers attacking a mopol base unprovoked. -In Enugu, there is this new express road that link Nsukka to Enugu. If you have plied that road, you will see that there is about 3 military check points on that road. Yet on that road, kidnappings happens there often. What then are the soldiers doing there. -In Katsina, there was a trending video of a soldier radioing to his colleague not to attack bandits who will be approaching them soon. If the military are really serious in wiping off this terrorits, they would have set up an ambush and kill off every single one of those terrorist. -In Abia state, that cattle market(Lokpanta), despite the presence of military check points in that area, we all saw the type of attrocities that is going on there. -One of my colleagues brother that was kidnapped in Jos, where they went to drop the ransom was not up to 1.5km from an army check point. How come those kidnappers arent scared of military men From a reliable source, soldiers action and inaction is a barrier to the fight against armed men and banditry. Let the soldiers go back to the barrack and let the mopols and police who are mostly indigenes of that state spearhead the fight against terrorism. Am pretty much sure that if it were soldiers who went on the mission to arrest the Ekiti student kidnappers, they wont have recorded the succes that the police just did now. One oga at the top would have used his influence to sabotage the operations because the foot soldiers of our army are largely from one particular divide of the country. |
I and my colleagues travelled to rural areas across all region in Nigeria, sensitizing the villagers on the need for having bank account. This is under our financial inclusion drive. After our journey, I can say that Nigeria is blessed beyond measures, we have too many resources and tourist areas that can bring in huge revenues to the locals and the govt also... But thats not the reason why am creating this thread. My reasons for creating this thread are as follow: 1) If status quo remain, Nigeria will be conquered by the Fulanis before the year 2100. Let me not expose much, before some people will come for my head, but by the year 2100, the population of Christians to Muslims in Nigeria will be around 85%muslims and 15percent christians. The traditional rulers across all the state and locality will be emirs, all the elected officials across the arms and ranks of gov will be muslims. Some states name could be renamed because it may sound offensive to them. You will no longer hear "Obi of this", "Eze of that", "Oba of there" "Olu of here", "sarki of this" etc all you will be hearing is emir, emir, emir and emir.... Kwara is a case study. These armed men flow in from the entire west africa and gradually take cover in our forest. Its only time that will reveal their plans. In the northern part of Nigeria, they use the cover of religion to mingle with the locals and commit all sort of atrocities. In the south, they kill innocent victims everywhere, destrying farm land and people source of lively hood. When the locals in the south react, the fulani will run and hide under the innocent hausa and herdsmen leadership. And these leaders, through the help of the state govt will now be negotiating and pleading with the locals not to turn violent and retaliate. Example is the recent burning of rice farm in Enugu. The rice was burnt by fulani men, but its the sarkin hausawa in that area that was begging and pleading for the owners of the farm to accept compensation. These armed men have so much mastered and surrounded this nation that if they decide to launch and offensive attack against the citizens simultenously, our security agencies combined cannot stand them. In one of the villages we went to in the south, I saw a fulani man, selling agbo.(this tree bark they put in bottle water rubber) He was just carrying one of it. Am 101% sure that in that village, nobody will buy that agbo from him, cos thats not the type of drugs they use. There is no nearby fulani settlement, yet thi fulani man was just walking on his own in the residential part of the village, not even on a market day. He was not even approaching people to ask them to buy his herb, he was just walking. We were in the village around june last year, from oct till date, I have heard of about 3 attacks by fulanis on that particular vilage and farm lands have been destroyed. |
refresh then try to log in again. |
blackpanda:lol.... Only in third world countries will something like this happen. Assuming its offline, I will understnd. |
I no Knw why govt agencies no sabi do things easily. If na the crowd caused this issue, they for batch the candidates like 10 batch per day for two weeks. Even if it means 10 persons in a batch. WHy must we always do things the hard way. |
See as I dey waste data. Who tell these guys say i no get mirror for house. |
Is it just me, but I hv spent more than 5 mins watching my self on camera, and no question is coming up. |
Lamanii22:You see. When there is alternative to something very expensive, why not go for the cheaper one to save some funds. Though I knw there might be inconvenience, but that doesnt mean one have to go broke just to meet a standard. |
Fahvvy:Thank you so much. I hope mods go move am go FP so that others can read and learn. |
dnawah:Thanks for the words of encouragement. I believe am on the right track. |
jimmychang:Well... God go gv every man good wife. |
Blessedmercy8:No hard feelings |
Now look at the comment in the attached pix below.... Take a look at the last paragraph See what a lady is saying. Leaving a man because there is no money. Have this lady ever though about the fact that you can marry a rich man today and tomorrow his wealth disappear. What will she do next, leave him. Then where is the sanctity in marriage In my own thread, I advised ladies who can not manage with little income from a man to please wait for a rich man to marry. Kindly wait for a man who can finance your life style and marry him. Dont claim to love a struggling guy only for you to start nagging and putting pressure on him after marriage because he is unable to foot your bills. Its a man's worst nightmare. As a guy, I believe that you are not putting a break on your hustling after marriage. So what makes you think that as you are earning small today, you might not blow tomorrow and start having a heavy flow of income. No man wants to remain stagnant, every man is pushing and planning for a better future. My advise is, if you will eventually get married and you already have a secured source of income no matter how small, why not get married now so that you can start now to plan your home based on your source of income, so that when your income increases, adjustment will be easy and you can now use the extras to invest and purchase properties. If you plan your home on a higher income source when you are not super rich, if things go south, you might find it difficult adjusting to a lower life style. As long as you know what you are doing and you have a foresight, everything will work out for good. Let me take a bow. Wishing everyone best of luck. Thank you for reading. |
In the previous thread, those ladies complaining about the amount a guy is earning, if they are serious and understanding enough, they should rather talk about how they will supplement the guys low income or how they will manage the little income of the guy pending when they can start contributing their own share or when they guy's income improve. That is why I mentioned earlier, a guy should marry a lady who can take care of her needs. Since you as man is already taking care of your own needs, if you marry a lady who is taking care of her own needs, managing the needs of the family after marriage wont be a difficult task as both of you are already capable and coming into marriage with a little experience of "family financial management". And I still repeat, CHOOSE WISELY WHO YOU MARRY. Dont go and look for a slay queen to marry, else..... Na VAWULENCE till INFINITY. Look at the attached photo. This is a lady saying shes buying milk of abt 11k for her daughter. Now take a look at one of the response she got. This goes to show that what the lady is doing is a matter of choice and not a standard. If you can afford the 11k milk, good and fine. If you cant, you go for a lesser one. Do not let any body use their own choice that they can afford as a standard for you.

Now I hope we all konw that before the era of Buhari, families earning 50k are doing better off than now. Now lets assume a man who was earning 50k and doing well all by himself during the era of Jonathan, decided to wait till his income grows to 100k before getting married. Now, if this man's income have increased to 100k by this year, 2022, will he say he has made any reasonable progress as inflation have eaten up the growth of his income. So then how long will the man continue to wait. The question now is... As a man, will you get married? If your answer is yes. Then if you are up to the age of getting married, do not let finance keep you from it. There are plenty ladies out there who will be willing to support and grow with you. Dont go and look for ladies who will be asking you how much is you income? Dont look for ladies who will be asking you if you can take care of her needs. LET THE LADY YOU ARE MARRYING BE SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF. When a lady is taking care of herself, she will really understand the value of money and how to manage. She will understand that when she needs something and she doesnt have money for it, its either she manages without it or she improvise. These are the kind of ladies you guys need to be marrying. Some ladies have sold their bodies just so that they can make their hair or get an IPHONE (we all can remeber the blackberry crase), while some ladies have gone on low cut, plaiting corn row and using nokia torch. Not because they dont like IPHONE or human hair, but because they know that they cant afford it now, so they manage what they can afford. No offence to the ladies, but permit me to add that a good percentage of our ladies dont know the value of money and how difficult it is to make money. But then, you wont blame them because at a young age, their parent were taking care of them, then when they grow into their late teens, guys start flocking around them and providing their needs. If she is out of data, all she needs to do is to stay offline for a few hours and a guy will call and start asking her why shes offline. Next thing, the guy sends data. When you come to visit them in sch and you didnt come with something for them, they start acting, when you take them out, you pay the bills and still buy take away. If shes broke, she can call multiple guys for money, out of ten guys that she calls, 3 may reply and the money she will get might be enough for her to go through the week. Next week she calls another set of guys. How then do you think these ladies will know the stress in making money when they virtually get things for free. This was not the way our mothers grew up. Go to campuses and see what ladies are doing just to ensure they arent broke for the lifestyle they are living. Do ladies even spend weekends in campuses any more? |
I want to start by responding to the comment she maid after quoting me. No now now... cry **tears rolling** God forbid napkins for you r baby in this era. Before then, I decree, your income will increase. Chai!Please can some one tell me what is wrong with napkins. Now I want to believe that a greater percentage of members of this forum where given birth to between 1960 - 1990. And if you noticed, during those periods, a lot of infants where raised using napkins. Now among the babies raised during the time that napkins where rampant, can any one point to me the period when there was an "outbreak of infection on infant bumbum", where babies were falling ill or having stunted growth as a result of napkin usage. I want to believe that this is not about napkins, this is about having a wife who understands that for this moment, there is no resource to fund some things so she have to make do with what is available. "CHOOSE YOUR WIFE WISELY". A lot of people on that thread kept complaining that a guy shouldnt get married on such small income of 100k. Now I ask, How much is enough for a man to use and get married?. Marriage is a growth process between a man and a woman. No matter how much you have, during the first stages of your marriage, you financial management skills will be put to test because at this stage, you both are trying to harmonize and manage your expenses. And if you are not careful at this stage, you may end up going bankrupt. This is because you as a man might want to impress your wife, therefore you go on spending spree, buying all the buyables or providing all the edibles for your wife. While your wife will have the notion that there is plenty money available and so start making outrageous demands. I ask again... How much is enough for a man before he can get married?. Now lets look at this scenario Mr A and Mr B are friends and the both bought a land in a remote area. While Mr B decided to wait till he has the full complete money of building a bungalow, Mr A was building his own bungalow bit by bit. This month he lays his foundation, next month he raise the blocks one layer and so on and so on till he completes his building after some period of time. But then Mr B could not get enough money to build his house at once because year in year out price of materials keep going up. Mr A has succeeded in beating inflation by starting early to build his house. Same method is how you are supposed to build your home. Step by step. |
For the sake of those who didnt follow this story from the initial. Let me start by going back to the genesis of all this. It all started when a lady asked if its advisable to marry a man who earn 100k monthly salary. Here is the link to the thread. https://www.nairaland.com/7289686/it-advisable-marry-man-earning Then another lady asked how do couples who earn less than 100k per month survive in relationship/marriage. Here is the link below. https://www.nairaland.com/7292274/ladies-relationship-men-earn-100k In response to the above, I created a thread, detailing how me and my wife manage our home on 95k salary. Below is the link. https://www.nairaland.com/7292931/how-survive-salary-95k-married One of my comment on this thread got the attention of Blessedmercy8 and she created a thread about it. Here is the link also. In her response, she said... "GOD FORBID". Thats the genesis of my confusion. https://www.nairaland.com/7297100/see-what-nairalander-said-brought I did not create this thread to defend myself, insult or challenge anyone, but I created this thread to drop my simple advice to the average struggling guys out in the street struggling to make end met and looking for a good woman to marry. Having gone through the previous thread, am here to categorically advise men/guys to "CHOOSE WISELY ON THE LADY YOU MARRY". |
Secondly:SO you think am folding my hands sitting at home and not in search of getting more money. |
Olu1000:Alright, will really appreciate. You haven't replied my DM. |
Qtrpst4:I sent you a PM. I have laptop already. Am interested. Thank you. |
