A good deed from a child that had a good nuclear upbringing without interference from extended families, the public and outsiders.

Men hustle ooo so you can marry a woman that you will love and will love you and be able to take care of you properly. Even if you or your woman misbehave outside, you guys will still stick together because of love and money attached.

As for the women, behave like a responsible person to avoid not being kicked out from your marital home early.

Lastly, a marriage can last based on trust, honour, integrity, mutual understanding to do good and achieve better.

Don't forget, The parental case is different for some folks.

Not everybody will marry, not all that marry will remain. Don't make marriage the ambition of your life it sounds too silly everywhere except Nigeria. Elon musk has changed the world yet his marriage is a failure. Don't think marriage is your destiny because every pastor shouts about it. This is becoming a national embarrassment

BadRadio:

So you encourage boys to pay 1k even if you have a car? You are a disgrace

FalseProphet1:
Power generation has dropped, it was great around August and part of September, but now, since Sunday we haven't seen light in my area.

Nigeria is truly a shit hole.

This I have seen.

How many times do they have to explain that 90% of the time the problem is distribution and not generation?

Penguin2:


He was intelligent enough to exploit the stupidity of APC and PDP who threw up two old thieves as presidential candidates.

Nigerians want a departure from the old order

Clear and simple

Put a pig in a clean environment where there is no mud water, the animal will be white as snow. The problem is the environmental factors. A lot of black people actually strive well in a healthy environment. Congratulations to her

Who creates the environment? Is also a product of the average mental ability of the community. The problem with us is that critical thinking is not encouraged this is why we default to tradition and religion quickly since both save us from thinking - we only need to follow what has been written.

Maynman:

You’re mentally ill.
Na your papa turn dey come!

Yes Dtruthspeaker is obviously ill mentally

ibechris:
See people talking and supporting themselves.

How many of u here are even married?

If u are married,u will know that this isn't true but a bogus lie.

Is even more than bogus, is a very stewpid lie, ask our ancestors who slept in separate huts from their wives. You know the problem with black people is inability to think and is why pastors and juju politicians are having a field day. Same rooms are oyibo idea and how is oyibo wedding? And this idea that a man needs sex everyday is one of the most disappointing presumptions that make me feel like slapping some sense into some pipu. Is something not even better when you stay away from it for a while?

lhordspy:


No wonder the whole world protested 'black lives matters' ... Just because black was killing blacks (sacarsm)

Hahahahahaha... You are fvcked man. Irredeemable. Dumb Zombie.

Mumuu so a protest is your statistics, i live in America by the way foooooool

lhordspy:


You are dumb sir, sorry sir. You are very dumb. Have you been to russia before to know their are no black?

Infact Russia is not tilting towards Africa, and i love it. By the time they are fully into the system here. The evil french power causing troubles in mali and other franchophone region will run away.

And you talk about blacks, is it not your same messiah, US where blacks are been slaughtered by the whites on daily bases??

Or sorry , your CNN, and BBc wont show you that. So you might not be aware. . Zombie, thats what you are.

The westerners have turn you guys to zombies, they are now incharge of your remote control.They now only allow you see and know what they want you to know.

I pray for your soul.

If you did not know that the records show that 93% of blacks deaths are by fellow blacks in America then you are exactly as stewpid as i thought you were. So in 2022 you haven't read enough to know that majority of black deaths are caused by their brothers and you talk with so much authority based on the little thrash you know then you are in trouble as an individual. Nonsense

lhordspy:
Lol.

Let's forget about the nuclear threats for now, the westerners can continuing peeing in their pants for now . But let focus on this sentence i got from the entire news. It says:


____
'Russian officials speak of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering massive setbacks in the eight-month invasion of Ukraine'
______

The funniest sentence i have seen in decades.
Russia just annexed a whole 4 region off ukraine amounting to like 15% of the entire ukraine region. BUT
Guess what? the hypocritical,delusional western medias who are still living in denial or just outrightly off-reality of happening still thinks the ongoing 'special operation' is suffering massive setback.


Oh you western apologists and chearleaders, Let me educate you on the gains of this four regions annexations:

The Donetsk region was Ukraine’s industrial center, accounting for 20% of the country’s industrial production. It is rich in mineral resources, having the fourth-largest coal field in Europe.

The Luhansk region is an important transport hub and is known for its metallurgy, machinery and agricultural industries. It has metallurgical enterprises, chemical and pharmaceutical plants and several coal mines

The Zaporizhzhia region, meanwhile, is the center of energy supply and produces 25% of Ukraine’s electricity. Three powerful energy producers are located in the southeastern region – the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest nuclear facility in Europe, the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station and the Botievo wind farm.
It also has a number of large industrial and mechanical engineering facilities.

The Kherson port region specializes in shipbuilding and is known for its resorts and agriculture. Besides, the entire Azov Sea will also become a part of Russia.


So my people, where is the 'massive setback so far' in this? If it is this same type of setback Nigeria is experiencing right now economically, then we wont still be wallowing in a third-world country tag.

Shalom.

If putin is winning the way e expected then why going for nuclear bombs? If you are already beating up your opponent with bare hands then why are you shouting you want to resort to guns? Always use your head despite what you hear about press or western press or yada yada yada. Putin is a fooooool, don't forget all he has are hi nuclear bombs otherwise Russian economy is not even up to 10% of US economy. Russia would have been farrrrr greater than this if not for their obsession with wickedness. You as a black do you know how Russians see you? But you have nigerians respected and working in the white house abi? How many black people have ever been given a worthy position in Russia?

Johnrake69:
Do the crime do the time. And for the idiots consumed with Tribalism. Know that the whiteman Chinese, or Arab don't give a shit about you as far as you're black.

Bashing each other other here won't won't stop them from treating you like a 3rd class global citizen.


There are criminals in a every race, tribe, religion.

Judge people based on the merits of their character rather than where they come from.

You have no iota of sense believe me

What was the amount of ECA Jonathan met and how much did he leave? Your $2b figure is right as how much Jona left in 2015 so how much did he meet in 2010 when he took over?
Secondly what was the reason governors asked for the ECA to be shared? You see the problem with Nigeria is that even knowledgeable people are full of sentiment

SILVERLINES:
Sometimes I blame some of our guys, don't take advantage of a girl who may appear to be kind to you. I know most guys out there need sex at all cost from a girl and then will finish all the lies in this world just to lay her in his bed, but it doesn't worth it.
It doesn't make sense for a girl to spend tp of 9k to visit you, given you sex and ended up having a thousand three hundred naira. That's evil, condemn it in strong terms.
Assuming as a nigga you needed a girl for sex and you are pretending and she come to you, at least make her happy at that moment she is with you. I do things like this a lot, but I make them happy and then gradually grow cool later.

You are a man of wisdom and your type never fall into problems because there are no curses running after you. Leave the morions that think karma is dead

What Queen Elizabeth II’s Death Exposes About Biafra

First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in today’s ThisDay.

When on Thursday, September 8, 2022, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed on into ancestor-hood, I was not particularly moved. I like England. I schooled and worked there and those years were some of the best of my life. The English people are by far some of the most decent peoples on planet Earth.

However, I am rather indifferent about their monarch. I did not like or dislike Queen Elizabeth II. The only thing I can think of that I admire in her is her stoicism. Her ability to take pain and pleasure with equanimity. She is the epitome of duty and a stiff upper lip.

But I doubt that I bothered much about her and her goings on. I was just aloof.

So, while I was not one of those mourning, it was not because I had some grudge against the House of Windsor. No. It is just that the House of Ginuwa (the first Olu of Warri), mattered more to me than Buckingham Palace.

The above not withstanding, I was absolutely mortified by the hideous and historically inaccurate things that were said about the Queen and her family by a Nigerian woman living in America, whose name I will not dignify by mentioning.

I later got to find out that this woman has other issues, which made me understand her bitterness better, though I still vehemently reject her indecorous words.

She was one of the people who famously celebrated the death of TB Joshua and called him all sorts of unprintable names when he died. So it is no big surprise that she has turned her vitriol in the direction of the late Queen.

And so now, let me tackle what the death of Queen Elizabeth II reveals about Biafra. It shows us as a people not aware of our history, and because we are not aware of our own history, we have distorted it, such that propaganda and pseudo history has been orally passed down from one generation to the other, feeding unfounded bitterness that is destroying those who harbour it, and having no effect on those against whom they are embittered.

That is why some people believe they were just sitting down minding their business and Hausa people came to fight them (all Northerners are Hausa to some people) because they hate them. There was absolutely no provocation, or igniting events that preceded the Nigerian Civil War. Hausa people just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and for some strange reason decided to pounce on the people of Eastern Nigeria.

But of course, that is not what happened. However, because we do not write our history, and even worse, we have refused to teach it in our schools, there are millions of people who believe this version of events. In fact, they swear by it.

One fellow named Uche Nnaya even tweeted at me that the Igbos of Southeast Nigeria had a right to rail against the British monarch and the rest of Nigeria, because “you can’t push people to the wall and dictate how they react.”

Really? But do those who hold such views not know that some other persons were FIRST pushed to the wall? Uche’s response will also justify how those who were first pushed to the wall reacted.

We cannot keep holding grudges as if other people do not have their own grudges that they have let go for the peace and unity of this country called Nigeria.

My great uncle, Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, was shot and killed in the street by Major Chris Anuforo on January 15, 1966. Ironically, I went to school with Anuforo’s son. Should my people carry that grudge forever?

Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was shot on the street like a common criminal by Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna. Ifeajuna tried to deny it, and claimed that Alhaji Balewa died from an asthma attack, until his body was taken to LUTH and examined by the then minister for health, Dr. Moses Majekodunmi. It was established that the body was riddled with bullets in a front page story in Daily Times, written by Segun Osoba, who later became the Governor of Ogun. He is still alive.

This was an incorruptible gentleman. He lived a very ascetic life. Materialism was FAR from him. He was an author. His book, Shaihu Umar, was the first novel written in Hausa. He surrounded himself with Southerners (in hindsight, was that a mistake?). His best friend was Matthew Mbu. Should the Tafawa-Balewa family and the people of Bauchi, where he was from, hold a grudge forever?

I could go on and on and list the people killed on January 15, 1966, and the identities of their killers, but that would just be reopening old wounds. These are historical facts, which some people deny and pretend as if the Civil War happened in a vacuum.

So, please let us stop pretending as if the late Queen Elizabeth II came to Nigeria and ignited a war. The Nigerian Civil War was ignited by a series of unfortunate events that began with the cold blooded murder of 22 people from the Northern, Western, and Mid Western regions by people of mostly Eastern region origin, which led to a counter coup by Northern Nigerian military officers on July 29, 1966, and the unfortunate pogrom of 66-67.

Many people now spewing vitriol against the late Queen Elizabeth II for her alleged role in the Nigerian Civil War conveniently forget that between August 9, 1967 and September 20, 1967, Biafran forces invaded and occupied the Midwest region, and named Albert Nwazu Okonkwo, as military Governor of the Midwest. A number of non Igbo speaking Mid-Westerners lost their lives during the Biafran occupation of the Midwest.

After the Midwest was liberated by forces led by colonels Murtala Muhammed and Benjamin Adekunle, more Mid-Westerners, this time those linguistically linked to the Igbo (especially in the Asaba axis), were killed. Please research it before you insult me.

I need to add that the killings by the liberating forces were worse than the killings of the Biafrans, and should truly have been declared war crimes.

Yet, in that same Midwest, we accepted Nigerians of Southeast origin back after the war. We did not seize their properties in the abandoned property saga that occurred in the Port Harcourt area and its environs. We let bygones be bygones.

The truth of the matter is that If the January 15, 1966 coup had never happened, it is most unlikely that the Nigerian Civil War would have occurred. The perpetrators of that coup opened a Pandora’s Box that the rest of Nigeria are still suffering from today!

There was wild jubilation all over Nigeria after that coup, because Nigerians believed it was a patriotic and nationalistic coup. Then the names of those killed were announced over the radio, and it was discovered that only people from the North, West and Midwest were killed, but NOBODY from the East was killed, whereas the vast majority of those who carried out the coup were from the East.

That is the remote cause of the Nigerian Civil War. We will remember it. We will also teach it to our children, so that it does not reoccur.

So, to just keep nursing grudges and reopening old wounds will do no one any good. You can bully others into submission, but you cannot do it to Reno Omokri. I know history and I am a meticulous record keeper!

It is only those who are ignorant about how the British government works that will blame the late Queen for the actions of the British government. She was a titular and ceremonial head of state, whose actions were limited to appointing the candidate who has won election directly or indirectly as prime minister, and declaring open the parliament. She was a symbol. She was not the initiator of the policies of the British government.

And even the British government are not to blame for the Nigerian Civil War. We must learn to take responsibility for our own actions. That war was the result of the ill advised January 15, 1966 coup.

The coup itself was led by Majors Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna. It was executed by the following persons:

1. Kaduna Nzeogwu
2. Emmanuel Ifeajuna
3. Timothy Onwuatuegwu
4. Adewale Ademoyega
5. Chris Anuforo
6. Humphrey Chukwuka
7. Donatus Okafor

Of these seven people, only one, Adewale Ademoyega, was non Igbo. The rest were all Igbo, although Major Nzeogwu was what was referred to at that time as Midwest Igbo (later colloquially referred to as Bendel Igbo and now as Delta Igbo). Major Donatus Okafor’s mother was Tiv. However, his father was Igbo.

Incidentally, some Igbos unwisely try to deny that Nzeogwu was Igbo, and call him ‘your South-South’ brother. Unknown to them, the more they do this, the more they make non Igbos feel that those specific Igbos who say that have learned very little since the civil war.

22 people were killed during the coup, including

1. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa
2. Ahmadu Bello
3. Ahmed Ben Musa
4. Hafsatu Bello
5. Ahmed Pategi
6. Samuel Ladoke Akintola
7. Festus Okotie-Eboh
8. Brig. Samuel Ademulegun
9. Brig. Zakariya Maimalari
10. Col. Ralph Shodeinde
11. Col. Kur Mohammed
12. Lt. Col. Abogo Largema
13. Lt. Col. James Pam
14. Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe
15. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke
16. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun
17. Zarumi Sardauna
18. PC Yohana Garkawa
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo
20. PC Akpan Anduka
21. PC Hagai Lai
22. Philip Lewande

As is clear from the list above, none of them were from the then Eastern Nigeria. . (I have since learned that Lt. Col. Arthur Unegbe was Igbo. He was in charge of weaponry in Lagos, and was killed when he refused to cooperate with Major Chris Anuforo).

After the coup, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi took over. Rightly, or wrongly, the rest of the nation felt that a coup carried out by overwhelmingly Eastern officers, and of which the victims were entirely non Easterners, and which supplanted a Northern minority leader (Tafawa-Balewa), with an Igbo leader, (Aguiyi-Ironsi) was a set up.

However, Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi’s promise to try the coup plotters placated the rest of the country. Sadly, the plotters were jailed, but were never tried. And the immediate cause of the July 29, 1966 counter coup was when rumours circulated that the coup plotters had been receiving full salaries in jail and were to be promoted.

These are facts that we all should address, rather than blaming the late Queen Elizabeth II for a war she did not cause, nor had anyway of stopping. And if we do not learn from our history, there is every possibility that another war might erupt in Nigeria.

The Biafrans inflicted a very harsh occupation on present day Rivers, Cross Rivers and Akwa-Ibom, as well as present day Delta and Edo before they were flushed out by federal forces. The Bayelsa area escaped the brunt of Biafran occupation due to the fight back from Isaac Adaka Boro. They invaded Ore and hundreds of soldiers and civilians died. There is still a Yoruba proverb about the amount of people that died in Ore. Ask a Yoruba person to tell you the meaning of ‘o le ku ija Ore.

We have all forgiven and moved on. Yet, you want to reopen these old wounds and make them cancerous by blaming Queen Elizabeth II 50 years after the war?

And when you point this out, the very same people castigating the late Queen will accuse you of creating ethnic tension? Do you want to be victims and victors at the same time? Leave the woman and her family to grieve in peace. By celebrating the Queen’s death, you are giving Nigeria a very nasty reputation that will affect all of us and not only you. We cannot afford to be seen as a nation with anti British and American sentiments, when we are not able to get a better deal from China and Russia.

Everyone has freedom to say whatever they like. She's not in a dictatorial world.

We will continue to teach the history and horrors of slavery and colonialism to our children but let's not teach it with hate or bitterness. Let's move on while watching our back cause the white man still hates us.

They hate you but she's not sacked? In Nigeria what would have happened to her?

Saao:
I wonder why all these Muslims that hate West don't usually apply for schools in Islamic countries? Just a harmless thought ok

They don't but they condemn the west at the slightest opportunity. Yo can see that the west still gave her full scholarship even when they know she might end up one day making bimbs for iswap. But look the other way round will a christian win a scholarship from muslim country or state? My neighbor's daughter from kebbi scored highest in common entrance and her name was immediately removed from automatic state scholarship upon discovery the pupil was christian. The same thing happens in all the northern muslim states. So that is how islam operates.

I’m sorry, I mean I am really really sorry. I can’t just imagine myself taking 10m or more for schooling abroad.
I dey craze?
Even 5m I no go do am. Will rather take that money to farm and sit there monitor my irrigation farming.
I don’t have any problem with people doing that though but I just can’t because the entrepreneurship blood in me won’t agree with that action

Watch out for fulani and cows, and if they eat your crops make sure you don't confront them. And after even a successful harvest keep serious dough to settle roadblocks. And finally don't get kidnapped on the farm. These are just some of the reasons oh not all. Shalom

Mrsprof:
Our government should start doing better in building proper drainages at least to ease this kind of situation. If you fail to make way for flood, it will surely make way for it self in a very dangerous way. Let our government learn to be proactive. This is so sad.

They build but every drainage is blocked with leather bags, nobody will say this on TV because the authorities got no clue

Just because he was desperate for a white partner, he looked away from someone beating him... a girl practically a prostitute with Onlyfans page.



Black Americans were united in saying the deceased got what he deserved.

He hated his own people and got killed by those he loved more.

In fact the Black Americans said the sister should seek help from their gods.

Are African Americans "his own people?" You don't know how hopeless they are. Just that he took his talking about it too far. AAs are not anybody's people - you can only roll with them if you are sentimental and disregard facts. The boy was only childish otherwise his narrations of them AAs is just on point

Someone published a book 34 years ago. You say the book insulted your god & you passed a death sentence on him. Your god could not avenge the insult for all these 34years & you still carry the 34years old bitterness reach 2022 to the extent of committing murder. SMH.

Islam remains a shameless religion any day any time, a good muslim is normally a very very dumb person

I no jus know why I dont like putting mouth in marriage palava. Naso my neighbor was punching and beating his nursing wife tbis morning..asin heaving pounding that thier door was trembling.. I just kept ma calm feeling un bothered until my other female flat neighbor came shouting at my door calling ma name to come.. I still no answer.. I just dont HV interest. It was later tonight that d guy's family came to scold him,he even received heavy slap from his mother before the wife was taken away..with a heavy face. I just mind my business..even tho the wife is nice to me

You did well, marriage is actually a very very bad decision but since society has bought it hook line and sinker you just do it. But a wise man won't put his mind into it

Blazebond:


You are right,some years ago while I was executing a project at seplat in imo state,a facility manager of another tribe (Yoruba) was brought in to replace the then retiring facility manager (Igbo guy),omo see wahala for the base that day and for the next four days,and it was the seplat Igbo staff's that where protesting o,they refused and rejected the new facility manager, saying the manager must be an Igbo man firstly from imo state or if not possible from other Igbo states.

Igbos are known for that but not all. If you go to iboland to do business you must fail or lose your life, that's them. But Peter Obi is different

Peter Obi is the revolution. After 4 years if him Bleep up the same youth will remove him. That’s real power to the youth. No sentiment

How a poor person with his life or career in the gutter preoccupy their minds with sex sex sex is really disgusting. If you feel like having sex everyday then you must be sick especially if you live in physical want.

The fulani kidnapper will be released and nothing will happen

Lovenorth:
I like the way China is approaching US, this Taiwan so-called president should be very careful with the most powerful country on earth. China has the ability to smoke them out in less than an hour.

I hope you are not among those complaining of fulani injustice since fulani believe in one Nigeria?

Parachoko:
Including MTN and Airtel.

The 3 major service providers go surely lose some or majority of their heavy subscribers before December 2022.

Data price is so expensive in Nigeria with there terrible network.

Is not their fault try run only 2 masts on diesel generator for 1 week to understand, forget naija it's hopeless trying business here

jeromestarks:
15 is too young though. But, no body loves women above 22. If you want to be happy, virgins are good choice; younger virgins are the best.
Dating old women (23 above) makes you old , sad and grumpy but dating young girls (17 to 22) makes you young and happy .

Because you are still a child yourself and is what you hear among your peers of children or childish men

What's the tribe of the kidnappers? Why is it not mentioned?

Ladygbola:


My dear am telling you...they will marry her out and that's the end....if their pedophilic prophet married a 9 yrs old girl what stops these morons with high libido from getting her down there tent? The only good thing they are contributing in this country is just their high libido and useless children

That's all and they are the ones also responsible for the bandits and terrorists from chad, niger, somalia, Mali because those countries also produce their own almagiri then send them to so-called rich Nigeria
