So I totally agree with your first point. The only way to break in these days is via a marketing blitz. Meaning big money.

The Mastodon v Twitter and Signal v WhatsApp comparison I don’t totally agree with. I’m very active on Mastodon and actually prefer it to Twitter as it’s more sane and less “commercial”. Granted most Nigerians will know next to nothing about Mastodon but it is successful, it’s not yet mainstream but is good enough to be mentioned.

Signal on the other hand are a bunch of idiots. Compare Telegram and WhatsApp for a fair comparison. Even as successful as it is, WhatsApp, has very limited penetration in the US. I can’t remember where, but somewhere in Asia, Viber is king.
But yeah, very valid points you made. I’ve toyed with the idea of a forum using lemmy or the now archived open source Reddit codebase. Even looked at Discourse and Flarum. But to go against NL, you need that marketing budget. Loads of it

airsaylongcome:
Why did you shut it down? Also was it Nairaland clone (copying the “outdated” NL look) or was it a more modern forum software like Discourse aor Reddit?

@OP,
I’m also intrigued why there aren’t many more successful Nigerian forums. NL and LIB were the vanguard respectively for forum and blog. And while many other successful blogs have sprung up after LIB, the same cannot be said for forums

Reminderz:
lol talking about terrorism, non Muslims were the propagators and instigators of most wars in history... go and check your facts... and besides the religion doesn't condone violence!! anyone carrying out an acts of terrorism with the name of Islam is not Muslim period! Islam is the only religion which says whoever kills a soul (anybody at all) unjustly, it's as though he has killed all mankind, and whoever saves a soul, it's as though he has saved all mankind... Qur'an 5v32

if they are bad as they claim and as the media deceived you to believe, why is the religion growing in terms of new members and converts? isn't it supposed to be the opposite? if it was bad, why are people leaving their religion for it?

1. What experiences?
2. How come these dark powers manifest on theists alone but run away from atheists? Cos my Christian wife has all kinds of demonic obsessions like nightmares, sees ghosts in dark etc, while I don't see such. She shivers in fear while I am sipping my chill. Mind you she has talked to her pastors

whyteteeth:
It's draining dealing with my mom everytime she comes to the city to stay in the same house with me. I live in my elder sister's house but she (my sister) stays abroad with her family. I am the last child and I am not married. I work from home though. My mum vists here once in a while. Anytime she comes around she does a lot of things that spoils my mood. For instance, she doesn't like taking her children's advice no matter how important it is to them. She likes having her way all the time. And when we try to stop her, she guilt trips us and emotionally blackmails us.

I have other siblings who do not live with me but they used to come around with their children anytime mom is around. My father is back home and hardly visits. She doesn't listen to my dad if he advices her.

Mom will first and foremost get someone upset, and when the person complains, she will watch out for one negative word that will slip out from your mouth and use it to emotionally blackmail you. She will cry because of what you said to her until you feel guilty and beg her to forgive you. She also likes reporting her child to another of her child without minding if it would damage their relationship.

She likes making her child feel bad so long as she has her way and she is happy. She pays no attention to the feelings of her children anytime she wants anything. For instance, My mom can make you spend money on something that she already has. Sometimes she will drag for something that she doesn't even need. She feels as a mother all her children must make her happy else they don't like her.

Also, She is terrible with conversations both on phone and physically. If you try to have a one on one talk with her, she will make the conversation very unpleasant because she will keep interrupting, next thing she will cry or she will get up and leave you.

She never sees her fault. Even if she apologies, she would do the same thing again and blame you for making her do it.

If she comes around and everywhere is peaceful, after a short while argument will begin which may lead to a fight.

This is because she likes jamming one person with another person and eventually make them quarel. She enjoys adding words that was never in the conversation when she is reporting somebody to another perosn. Most times those words are very hurting and will lead to a fight. And when the fight begins, she will start crying. Sometimes she would intentionally fall on the ground while trying to separate a fight, just to make sure everybody runs helter-skelter trying to get her up on her feet.

She has blood pressure issues, hence she uses that a weapon to guilt-trip her children so they can succumb to her demands. For instance, if she says things that are not true about her child to another of her child and the person finds out, once you confront her, she would say " don't query me oh, shey you know my blood pressure would soon go up. I didn't kill my mother, don't kill me oh." Or she will just start crying and say the person hates her and what was said isn't true, and that she never said anything like that. She denies the things she says that are bad soon after she says them.

Gosh, I am just tired of my mom. I feel like packing out of this house, blocking her and not letting her come close to me because of how emotionally draining it is everytime she comes around.

bolacode:
The new trend is u guys denying your Igbo roots, but unfortunately u allays, can't hide ur hatred for Yoruba. That trend of "I'm not igbo" don cast, abeg

Roboto11:
Marginalised how?

Don't they receive their allocations?

Ekweremadu held what position in our senate?

What of Ayim?

What is the highest position an Efik or Ibibio has ever held?

Tiv or Junkun nko?

Abeg make then shift.

Saidfx:
Igbos don't like themselves! You will sure see igbos in this coming administration. The committee thing is not an office o. Let us calm down. We move!

Tim1212:
Then police and EFFCC will be arresting real estate agent, company or individual who upload proof of client payment on their handles

Every company does that, they show client payment of other client to boost confidence

frankson1:
But, according to Ohanaeze, they've not recognised Tinubu as the Presidential-elect, how then do you expect Tinubu to include those who have refused to recognise him in his transition committee?

Alary:
There is no oversight here , it's was deliberately done and in good faith. This is the inauguration of a president whose 80% igbos does not want, to avoid security glitches and unforeseen circumstances, it is better to appoint people you trust to handle the preparation of the eagles square.
You can never tell , there may be a sabotage from people who are not happy with you ,those who doesn't want the inauguration to hold by all means.
There is going to be a gala night during the week long programme , people are going to be fed and entertained, so we dont want a story that touches.
Security breaches, leaders across the world are expected to be around, there is no room for embarrassment. Those that compiled the list did a yeoman job , for preventing the unforeseen /foreseen situation.

Victor468:
Be realistic for once. On what basis would OBI or ATIKU will the court case? Both of them could not garner 25% in 24 states. Where will they start in proving their cases? The truth is all of them rigged the elections in their strong holds, just that Tinubu out rigged them.

Tim1212:
Come to think of it why would police come to arrest someone because he uploaded proof of payment.

That is ridiculous. Allow EFCC do their job

hafeeanubasy:
Because Igbo never employ intellectual approach to relating others and to politics.

By the way,you are the one being emotional here,Igbo can no bulky anybody to be president. They should be diplomatic and make friends. They hate buhari,hausa fulanis,they hate tinubu,yorubas,..they hate Muslims...where will their vote come from?
Use your brain and stop being emotional unnecessarily

Roboto11:
Marginalised how?

You mean people can simply hate anyone who isn't from.their tribe and those they hate should apologise to them?

[


WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS ECONOMICAL WITH THE TRUTH, YOU ARE FORGOTTEN, IT WAS YOU PEOPLE GREED AND ARRONGANCE THAT LED TO THIS PRESENT SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT, THINGS WERE DONE REGIONALLY UNTIL YOUR BROTHER INTRODUCED DECREE 34. ALWAYS SAYS THE TRUTH AND TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.
quote author=truthCoder post=122762074]

Apart from the first republic when we had the same Zik as a parliamentary president and Aguiyi’s small stint as HOS, no igbo has led this country. That is the undeniable fact.

You mention CBN governorship positions, ministerial positions and legislative positions and assume that should be enough for a whole region in 5 decades?

For a region that suffered mass destruction during the war, a national redevelopment fund should have been established for the ravaged areas since 1970.

The ports, roads, industrial hubs and potential technological advancements in the east have not been developed as much as they should.

The Igbos were initially the clerical and administrative hub of old Nigeria and were the bulk of intellectuals in the railways, ferries, government agencies and ministries. The civil war led to the death of many of this cadre and Nigeria slowly entered into a period of intellectual rot. The quota system did not help matters.

Igbos survived through trading, not by choice but as as a second option. If the civil war has not started and the embarrassing quota system was not introduced , the corps of intellectuals lost could have pushed us towards development and made us the real giant of Africa.

If you feel the Igbos are not marginalized, have you tried to consider what your response would have been if a Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani has never ruled this country since inception?

hafeeanubasy:
They will rule when TINUBU is done!

They should transfer their hatred to Obasanjo who choosed not to make Igbo man a VP to yaradua and to Atiku that snatched their 2023 slot in PDP.

TINUBU doesn't deserve a single hatred form Igbo. He has no business with them.Apart from supporting Ihedioha to become DSP in 2011 when Tambuwal offered it to femi gbajabiamila, he also supported GEJ in 2011 and has Igbos among his cabinet members.

Since their hatred for Tinubu is unreasonable to me,TINUBU will rule,they can now produce president later!

hafeeanubasy:
They marginalized themselves

hafeeanubasy:
Yes sir.

Igbo are not marginalized.
They only cry when they are not dominating!

During shagari regime...an Igbo man occupied VP and speaker.

During GEJ,
SGF= Anyim pius Anyim

Deputy senate president-ekweremadu


Deputy speaker= Ihedioha


Prime minister and coordinating minister of economy= okonjo iweala

Minister for petroleum = Allyson madueke

CBN gov= Emefiele

Etc

Let me now tell you what happened in 1979 ...shagari came 1st,Awolowo came 2nd,Azikwe came 3rd.Zik and Awo sued shagari.why Awolowo remain in opposition, Zik joined shagari goverment so ,his party produced the speaker while an Igbo man was still the vice president.


Go and read history about how Igbo dominated goverment during zik and balewa goverment sir.

hafeeanubasy:
You dont know history

GREATIGB0MAN:
Only a very fooolish / insecure person will come online to post screenshot of funds he got from a job he's not even started or planned on starting.

Assuming what you posted was real and I was the client that paid you...I'd quickly ask you to send my money back as you lack professionalism and seriousness...
But since it's fake and you're just catching cruzz and hoping to get this type of contract someday... Carry on
