What has the Naira devaluation meant for the common man?
FamilyRe: Mikel Obi Speaks On Family Financial Pressure Faced By Successful Africans by wayodude(m):
owobokiri:
Stop pontificating on issues way above your pay grade!

This one is beyond you, stop overreaching..
Where Mikel Obi comes from, we run an extended family system. It has helped us through all sorts of travails. Such structure helps the family members to bond together in order to weed out poverty from the lineage. It is the strong family bond within the igbo community that's the main reason we are here stronger than before today. That your uncle in Nigeria called you for money is not necessarily because he enjoys depending on you, it is because Nigeria is going through a jumpy economic situation and he knows you can help.

Mikel Obi is someone who has enjoyed this system of "family help" at a stage, either directly or indirectly. If you run a very detailed check on his lineage, from his father and uncles to his grand father and others around him, you would definitely see the results of such help. It is either the father was helped by an uncle or a brother or a man from his village. That is how the family/village tree is built in igbo land. Mikel is igbo at the last check..

So I don't know where you wriggled out from to call for the desolution of such egalitarian cultural practice. Cultural behaviours in any given environment are products of societal reactions to the immediate challenges of that very vicinity. Essentially, the culture here is nothing but a survival pattern that a struggling society has weaved overtime to stay afloat.
Non conformist should be called back to order or be weeded out..

And I make bold to state categorically that such cultural behaviours have worked effectively for the igbos over the centuries. There is a reason why their communities are doing far better that that of their neighbours. The "nwa boy system" of mentorship is an extension of this cultural practice. . Igbo brotherhood helps. It suits the environment, and it has been progressively helpful.


NOTE:

We don't need your putrid advice on this one. You need it more than we do!
Mikel should immediately start a mutual fund to help his lineage. He is igbo and that's what igbos do; help each other!
You speak as if you know the specific details of Mikel's particular situation. I am almost certain that you don't and you are presenting your assumptions as fact. This is standard practice online to be fair, hence the internet is seen as a danger sometimes when it comes to reliability of information, but I digress.

That igbo people have a culture of supporting one another when going through difficult times is not a bad thing. It is worth mentioning that egalitarianism is not unique to the Igbo. This does not automatically make it a statement of fact that Mikel has been the beneficiary of the same culture and certainly not to the degree to which he has had to support, pound for pound.

Anyhow, I would never understand how a man, alive well and of sound mind can be completely comfortable with another person indefinitely taking over responsibility for running their lives such as paying their rent, children's school fees, medical costs etc ...if another man, whomever he might be, is doing all of this for you, what is the point of you? This here is my point.

As for me 'pontificating on issues way above your pay grade'.

cheesy grin grin

Hahahaha okay, I hear you kind sir.....with the highest pay grade grin

owobokiri:
Why is he always complaining, this stingy maggot.
This guy is supposed to be "The Okpara" in his father's house!
In traditional igbo settings, he should be the one to guide his siblings rightly in life when his dad is not there or incapcitated. But he is always wailing..

My dad trained all his 4 brothers. Man sacrificed a lot to set them up in life. It is the igbo culture! Culture defines a people... Mikel is from Neni in Anambra State. The first son of his father. But I doubt if he knows the site of his father's "Obi"!
Mikel needs to be flogged!

I know he was born in Jos, but together with PSquare them, dude is becoming a maximum emberassment to the igbo culture.
You don't complain about what you did for your family or siblings. Where we come from, it is not a gesture, it is a RESPONSIBILITY.
All these "my mama said I be igbo" will unravel the great culture of the igbos if allowed..
Respectfully, this is rubbish.

It is his decision and only his on who to help and in what capacity.

A culture that suggests entitlement to someone else's resources to the degree you have implied is a culture that should be done away with.

Your father 'training' his siblings is commendable but that should not have been his responsibility except in a situation where his own father was either incapacitated or unalive. Of course this noble and selfless act of your father should be praised but must not be seen as an automatic expectation.

People should have children that they have made plans for and the responsibility for raising those children primarily rests on their shoulders, be they strong or feeble.

Having said that, I think a well-off and kind hearted person should support his family if they are in need but if this support then makes them lazy and entitled that support should be reduced to bare minimum.

SportsRe: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by wayodude(m): 8:15am On Jun 28
Let's be calming down with this 'making it through' talk. This expanded commercial world cup carried almost zero peril in the group stage. Out of 3 games a team (Senegal) lost 2 and beat ONLY Iraq to qualify! That's too easy and unheard of. In World Cup football, there are no second chances, no rebirth. You either win or come runner up in a strong group or you go home.

I remind y'all what WC groups looked like before this thing we're calling a world cup

Nigeria, Croatia, Argentina, Iceland
Nigeria, England, Sweden, Argentina
Ivory Cost, Netherlands, Portugal, Serbia
Ivory Coast, Brazil, Portugal, North Korea
Tunisia, England, Belgium, Paraguay
SA, Uruguay, France, Mexico
Cameroon, Netherlands, Denmark, Japan

.....and then only top 2 qualifies.

Now just beat a terribly poor AFC team like a Qatar, Uzbekistan etc and if you can scrape a draw somewhere else you are guaranteed to progress. On occasion you might not even need that draw and you're fine.

Anyway good luck to all the non xenophobic African countries.

Not really. Getting the job tell the world he's still highly regarded and if he is even slightly successful he will be seen as a miracle worker. If he isn't, he can say well the damage was already 99% done. So it's a win win for him, even before you add the finances.😅

Elections are not won on social media.😀

Elections are not free and fair. We know.
Elections can be won on social media because vote buying, intimidation, ballot box snatching and INEC magic is not possible.

The same result you see here if passed through INEC will have Tilumbu winning by a landslide so you comment 'Elections are not won on social media' which is borrowed from the ruling party, really should said in sober shame. It won't though, I know.

Stop super coating. Keeper had emlbough time to adjust and time his jump. It's his usual school boy error. He's good at close range. Nwabali is better all round.
It seemed like he did but he didn't IMO.

Does this mean that anytime a keeper lets in a long range shot it is his fault?

No one expected the player to shoot from there. Not only did he shoot the power and swerve he put on the shot is what makes it special. I wish we could see the speed of the ball.

It is not Nigerians stealing the cars na….. Na citizens of Canada Dey do am. The question is how do they bypass customs to export these cars is what amazes me. Also, the Nigerian buyers need to do proper research before purchasing these cars, anyway they will buy it since it is quite cheap and don’t care about the VIN status
It is not Nigerians stealing the cars but they are consistently ending up on Nigerian soil? Do you know what the law says about handling stolen goods?

Sensible foreign governments should save themselves the pain of having to deal with lawless Nigerians on their land. They know what to do. If they don't they will inevitably be asking their citizens to do it for them.

Eriokanmi:
Where will he win tinubu ? Check the electoral map of 2011. Gej's winning votes came from the south and middle belt. Don't forget we, the south west voted him too as our consensus candidate. I was supporting AC then. Tinubu will be on the ballot and south west will be shared, north too. As it stands and given the momentum of the day, only Peter obi stands a better chance of challenging tinubu and the reason his supporters had been drooling over obi's matter.

Jonathan's government was riddled with massive corruption and the reason Nigerians voted him out. Don't forget that. He was clueless and weak. He was just lucky ni. I'd rather vote tinubu than vote Jonathan. Ok is our mandate
Tinubu did not win the election in 2023. Of course he knows this. The APC hierarchy know this. They also know who actually did win the election.
