Doesn't affect me as long as premiere league / champions League isn't tampered with plus my discovery ID😂

What? You love Discovery ID? I thought I was the only one. Most people can't relate.

We don't need a soothsayer to know that the OP is a ronuist.

LOVEALAIGBO:
Are you really shocked that Tinubu/APC minions support the travesty of justice? Nigeria witnessed an unprecedented descent into a Hobbesian state of nature the moment they schemed, rigged and murdered their way into Aso-Rock in 2015 and is yet to recover….even if it’s back to pre-2015 socio-economic and security levels! They thrive on hate, divisiveness and injustice and are at their best when these conditions hold sway! The things they wish on Ndigbo, IPOB or Mazi Kanu…i wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy (not that i have any), and that’s the difference between us and them!

I don't really argue with them here anymore because I know that while they are busy running their mouths here, the economy is biting hard on them and their loved ones. Go to twitter and instagram and see how people are crying for even common ikedc and ekedc. Just let them keep sinking and support what the biafra government at home and abroad are doing. Focus.

Kobicove:
Even if this is true I still believe the CBN should still ban Nigerian banks from actively investing in crypto assets because of their highly speculative nature!

You think they were not dealing illegally before?

AqualinaXYZ:
They will still leave



When them experience blackout and falling of national grid 6 times a month their body go tell them



Let’s not even talk about the harsh economy and taxing of Tinubu

Exactly guy. I am just seeing comments here replying you and talking rubbish while their brothers and sisters are on instagram and Twitter wailing for ekedc and ikedc for days now.

A welcome development. If it's not used now, it will definitely be used later. Smart man! Keep up the good work. While the naysayers say what they want today, while tomorrow pays off.

Beremx:
you should have said this on Twitter na. You dey fear?

Please, where's the Twitter link?

ThierryJay:
That is the greatest save in WC history. Without that save Argentina cannot be champions.

It's good for Nairaland to be back though. Was on twitter throughout the blackout, I noticed many Twitterians have serious beef for Nairaland and hoped that the site crashed permanently.

Lesson for Seun to clamp down on abuse incidences and also diversify his hosting sources.

Abeg share link of the beef.

Because of this guy I no date one golddigger like that. Make hakimi?

Eriokanmi:
I agree with you. Part of our IGR in Lagos can always be credited to these people's huge contribution to the economic growth of the state. I am not a trialist and I will never be one. Create a sea port in the SE and give them good roads. All the agitations and feelings of disconnect will stop. The FG will only earn much more revenues via Sea Port, should this be considered,

Even if the FG is not capable of building a sea port there, they can do a Public Private partnership thing. It is quite possible. The Lagos Deep Sea port is not owned by one entity alone, it is a partnership thing. Like I once said on this forum, the federal government knows what to do to guarantee peace and oneness but deliberately, they do not want to do it. I said this when the IG asked the ipobs to stop making people orphans and widows by killing the police in the SE. To govern Nigeria is not difficult at all, if only we can shun bigotry and tribalism. I have studied the political atmosphere of this country well as I have mingle with nearly all the tribes in the land and sought their opinions.

I love how you have been doing your best to be on the part of truth and justice even if it seems that it may not favor you. Keep it up. Posterity will favor you.

So, in the light of that, let me regard you with a truth.

Economic inclusion may allay some of the pressure, but a lot of water has gone under the bridge that it will be very hard to convince people nursing these wounds to remain under one country.
People have died. Still, there's many more awaiting justice. Human empathy will not allow the other igbos to leave these ones hanging like that.

Nigeria made a lot of mistake they were warned against. Even the North sef. How will Nigeria begin to solve the problem of the North now?

Sirianese:
He should have advised the Igbo to be more honest in their business dealings/activities; they top out other tribes by an incredible margin, in terms of the manufacture of counterfeit and substandard consumer goods and pharmaceutical drugs, narcotics trafficking, kidnapping, human trafficking and a lot of other criminal activities. Why?

Why is the average Igbo man at the forefront of criminal activity perpetrated against his fellow countrymen? By natural law, whatever energy you give out to the world is what you will get back. If Igbo man lacks respect and compassion for his compatriots as evidenced by his criminal business engagements, there is no way he can/should expect to receive good treatment in exchange. People get what they deserve in this life, always, whether they like it or not.

Very good. I am glad you asked this question, because I have been seeking an opportunity to answer it. You must have guessed, I am Igbo myself and I have done trading business in Nigeria. Yes, even the substandard goods you speak of.

But what you don't know is that I hated selling substandard goods. Of course, I will not deny that there are some merchants who will want to bring in cheap goods and sell at a high markup to make bigger gains. But, it is not an all-igbo affair. There are lots of other ethnicities I know that do import stuff. And everyone is trying to survive.

Back to what I was saying. I hated selling substandard goods with passion. I have seen products I loved, even for myself, but you just can't bring it in. Na who go buy?

I have gone through electronics, building materials, fashion businesses, etc. All of them the same story.

I saw bags of 30k back then(which is not even the full quality, mind you) that I wanted to sell. But I couldn't get anyone that was ready to afford them. I had to be stuck at pinching my margins with selling bags of 5k. Very laborious work, I tell you. You can't even add valued added services which, if you have ever done a business, you will know is a very rewarding way to endear you with a customer. I left that business out of frustration.

Instead of openly displaying your ignorance over the internet, you should ask the right questions.

Ask, why is it that Nigerians cannot afford basic things comfortably talkless of indulging in any leisure or luxury they fancy.

Then, you can blame the igbos.

Even your SON (STANDARDS ORGANIZATION OF NIGERIA) cannot stop counterfeit business because they understand the system. If they do, I tell you, even you and everyone in Nigeria will revolt because no one can access anything.

SeeWahala:
But the same country called Nigeria itself is and has always been a hell igbos tried to break out and escape to their heaven but you guys forced them to remain with you in hell by fighting a civil war

Calm down. We don't answer emotional outburst like that anymore. Things are happening and it's showing. Discussions are going on.

bluecircle470:
But whenever oyibo say the reverse then you will start complaining ; anyway ask your so called politicians how many projects they’ve been able to do in your region. Hold them responsible

That's what is actually going on as we speak! You can see the evidence in how people voted LP massively in the south east during the "elections". Places that LP lost had to rig massively to clinch power once again.

Yet, those who have totally given up on Nigeria and its politicians are the ones you are seeing asking for a referendum.

So, guy, you don't need to gaslight. It's happening before your very eyes.

Roger3D:
A seaport can't bring peace back to the east

You are right. It has gone way beyond that. Too many injustices unaddressed.

Irony1:
Oga can you just shut up and stop all these lies. Everyone here including those in political circles know that the Igbo have been marginalised for too long even you know it, but because of hate, bigotry and bias which you exhibit you will lie.

Calm down, I have answered him well. These days, we don't shout anymore. We do and they see. Na dem dey wail now.

You are right 💯 that these people are involved. However, you must understand who these characters were working for. In the same vein, the Biafra forces are not going to bring down anybody who is not in Biafraland. Check am na, many of them now lives in Abuja.

Sultty:
this is pragmatic approach sure to reduce the chaos in the eastern part. And as that ekpa guy, his beans will soon done #mumu man

The thing that makes me laugh is that you think it's only Simon Ekpa 😄😄😄😄😄

Sleekfingers:
How about the Yoruba living in Kano., .kaduna, Rivers, Edo, Akwa Ibom.
The Yoruba have invested hugely in Edo state. Good and ask that ugly obaseki.
If you have been to Kaduna and kano you won't say this mumuric statement.
Why would a Yoruba man invest in an erosion invested and a potopoto region? When our region is full of huge potential and ability to attract investors. Apart from Lagos. Oyo and Ogun state alone is enough.

Answer to bolded: Because they can't compete with the acumen, discipline and the grit of the locals.

Mubiola360:
No one is telling them to go back home because they never said Anamvra is a no man's land, they respected the laws of tge land,they are also helping g in the growth and development of their host community without shouting Developer in arrogance.
I served in Anambra and I know for a fact how loving Igbo people might be , I was the cds president and I mingled well with the community. Most of you have been brainwashed by political gladiators and the bias media that we forgot to see ourselves as human, brother rather than threat and opposition . Lets grow together.

The first part and the second part of your write-up does not match. You dey disguise abi? Oya, read my signature 👇🏿

Ayo25:
At least they concede it is their second home and are grateful for whatever success they have acheive over there, not like those who after being allowed to feed fat of the good of the land and prosper, would begin to claim 'no mansland'.

Ok.
We can't blame fake or substandard importation here can we Zombies?

Abi o. Una can't afford nothing, yet blame people who import these stuffs.

Sensiblerealist:
Analyse please. Sheybe you go still pay Netflix or Amazon prime subscription.
Just one movie on Netflix in my phone dey chop like 2 GB.

When you dey fear for just 2GB per day, it's an indication of serious poverty in an information driven century.

Something wey oyibo dey use play. How can Nigerians ever compete?

Add to that unreliable electrical power or zero power in some places and see that people in that place are in very heavy chains.

I have not even started going in to show how deep the trap is.

Some people will stay pay rent in a new house and inherit the debt of a former occupant, for where darkness dey? That should be thoroughly illegal.

I remembered when Strong decoder was showing quality channels like Lusomundo gallery, Tequila, Showtime, etc.

What happened?

GoodGovernance:
When you are ready , you pack and go back to SA.

Your service is not essential to those who have sense, it is killing our local sports and entrepreneurship.

Almost every senseless person in Nigeria, had been hypnotised to believe that supporting and watching foreign football club, is a status symbol, including those ridden with poverty.

Whereas the more they support, the more the dollars the reap out of Nigeria.

EPL alone, reaps circa 5billion British pounds, from Africa, annually, chunk of which is from Nigeria!

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Las Las Nigeria will return to how it was in the 70s and 80s when dem dey watch NPL. I had this in mind but u don talk am.

Coolgent:
You are right.
Very foolish mentality

Nigerians can adjust. If Adjustment is a people.

Smartdoctor:
Their decoder go don roti finish for canal by now. I threw the shit outta my car when I was going to work r months ago

Wasteful guy. You should have taken it to a technician's shop. I don't really throw electronics away that much because it may come in handy someday.

What of the US?

perseverance101:
This is how the Nigerian government and all Nigerian forces should expeditiously deploy HEAVY WEAPON supplies to the borders of the South East region before it becomes too late. It is imperative that we take preventive measures to avoid squandering our resources and funds on an unnecessary conflict, should history repeat itself.

And then what will happen at the northern border where terrorists are gain steady foothold?

One thing I know is, as long as they are arresting the wrong people, what is happening will keep happening since Nigeria no wan get sense.

Jomonix:
Simon ekpa is a comedian. I see him as such. How can a soldier so highly placed even consider him as an opposing force. The problem in the SE is this perceptions of marginalization which the youths have misunderstood as solely the fault of the federal government while ignoring the misrule of the SE governors. This perceptions can always be manipulated by anyone. Simon ekpa is a none entity. The solution is to change the narrative.

Ok. Calm down and think clearly about what I am about to say.
Yes, they are right because,

1. If the youths decided to go after those governors as you said, you will see federal forces come to their aid.

2. Some of these "governors" got there because they were imposed by federal courts.

3. Some projects that are very important to the people were left under federal government projects, which you can't deny the fg has largely not done much for the region.

If Nigeria was restructured, what you are saying would then be very clear.
