Righteousness89:
Condolences to the Deceased Families...

People who had no inkling of their Lives being taken away are Gone...

If it were You, Where will you be Now?

If it were You, What will be your Hope?

Humble yourself and Make Peace with God!

All these puffing up and Claming Arguements is not Worth it!

If You Depart this Earth and open your Eyes in Hell, you will Remember Righteousness...

The Next Moment might be too Late..

You sound so silly, rushing to every topic to comment like a deranged extremist.

spyder880:
Ok, I will see how I can do that if it will not take too much time. Thanks.

Chineke meee!

Did you say IF IT WILL NOT TAKE TOO MUCH TIME??
Bia, nna anyị... don't be old school. You should have a YouTube, Facebook, Instagram handles at least. I am aware of a blog you created one time. Something called amazing viewpoint or so. Visited it a few times too.

Every serious business must have an online presence now. Imagine how Jeff Bezos made $13billion in ONE DAY! Online, nwokem. Online!!!

YouTube will afford you to make cool short videos to give more info that pictures can't give.

Wait. Hold on. You did upload a video years ago, when you started out with Tigerkenn estate at Ogbeke Nike or so. You made a video while driving from Nike Lake resort to that site. Remember? Without trying to make lengthy descriptions or putting up pictures which may not give the full details, a short video (with a voice-over narration) will do the job.
All those times you drive around some developing and newly opening locations that would be suitable for new estate schemes, just make videos along the way. Keep doing just that. Next, enquires will begin to drop in, asking you for more details concerning certain areas you drove by, and opportunities for businesses opens up through you.
You also post links to your channel on your nairaland handle....
So, why say if you have the time, when you have already done something along that line before?

You must create a dedicated YouTube channel. MUST!!

Sunnymatey:
Why detain him?

He came on his own to report the incident.

Highest would ve been to take his statement and ask him to avail himself whenever he's needed for questioning.

Hehehe. You act like you don't know how Nigerian police operate. Sure, what you said is correct.
But police will find a way to extort the guy. It will begin with his arrest and demanding for some money as bail.
Since death is involved, he won't pay anything less than 100k. That's for a start.
Next, he will be made to pay "administration" charges for the police to do their paperwork and logistics.... you've heard about people who are told to pay for the paper to write their statements on? That's part of it.

Bottom line, he's not going scot free, as far as NPF is concerned.

She has been mounting pressure on me to follow her to meet her parents. We have been in this relationship for a year now. Although she is not the only one I am dating. I am not sure of the other lady, but atleast this one is ready to marry me.

I am not sure if I genuinely love her or not, but a part of me love her..A part of me want to treat her bad, whenever I remember what she did to me in the past.

3 years ago, I started noticing and showing interest in her being my junior sister’s friend. I discussed with my sister who encouraged me to approach her that she had no boyfriend. We were on talking terms before which was an opportunity. So I leveraged on that to get closer to her. When she noticed I was getting closer, she started giving me attitudes, stopped talking to me. Finally she stopped coming to our house. She would give my sister thousands of excuses why she was not chanced to come to our house.

We met at a friends birthday party, to my surprized, she warmed up to me, greeted me. I though she must have repented. While the party was on, I asked her to come to my table and spend sometimes with me, she said “ok”. I waited for hours, she didn’t come. I later saw her in the room with the celibrant. I jokingly said to her “You dey whine me abi”. She just went off, started ranting, she said I should say whatever I want to say now infront of everyone..infront of her friends. “Why do you want me to come and sit with you?” say it now “let the whole world hear”. It was so embarrasing for me. I just said to myself “whats there..are they not aldult?..dem never toast all of them before”.

My sister was there, got angry and left us. She had already warned me to leave her alone. That I am interfering with their friendship. On my birthday, she replied to my whatsapp pictures with love and kiss icons. She went to facebook to like all my birthday pix. Facebook was alerting me as she was clicking. She finally sent me happy birthday..where is my cake..we started gisting again. She apologized for what she did that day, that she was not in a good mood that day (someone who met, joked and laugh with me, even agreed to come sit with me on my table).

We continued chattin for weeks, I made sure I didn’t get intimate with her. One day, my sister was playing with my phone, then saw our chats, read through our chats. She was mad at me. She confronted me and nearly slapped her for disrespect. She later calm down and explain to me that if I knew what this girl said about me on group chat, that I would shoot her if I have a gun. She said she didn’t tell me so that I wont feel bad.
She then show me their caucaus group chat discussing me. Tears was just coming out of my eyes. I felt cold. They were just laughing at me. My sister was just fighting for me shutting them off.

This lady said “how come some men behave like he goat. Why can’t he leave me alone?” “am I the only girl on the planet? Oh God I hate that idiot.” “Gosh, I can never be close to such person talkless of dating him” ANOTHER girl said “That’s how those guys are…you need to disgrace him more next time he try something stupid with you. Blahblah.

That’s when I closed her chapter. Blocked her on facebook, whatsapp, instagram. I moved on. My sister did photoshoot for her birthday and some of her friends came. I saw her and just greeted her, minding my business. Then I was dating another girl then, so it’s a win win for all. She stayed behind, when everyone left, she asked my sister to help her beg me. She knelt infront of me started telling me “she was sorry..she was being childish” This was someone that was in her 24 when I was chasing her. I said I forgave due to pressure from my sister. Since then, she will come to my apartment, do my laundary, cook soup inside my freezer. When she is coming from work, she will branch at my place prepare food on my table. At times she offered to sleep overnite, that she cooked till late in the night, which I will refuse.

But one thing led to another, one day, we had sex. And that changed everything. I couldn’t resist her again. But a part of me still hate her whenever I remember those disgraceful moments. Now she is 26, she want us get married. If I marry her, I may treat her bad.

In a dilema seriously and its giving me headache.

You don't want to receive sense?
Ok, then.

My wish for you is to end up marrying such shallow and senseless woman. Her type is the reward for weak, indecisive men such as you.
Then, you'd get to find out what it means to be frustrated through the rest of your life.

Marriage is tough even with decent spouses nowadays, yet you want to to tango with someone whose attitude has raised very big red flags.
Sorry

NewsOneNigeria1:
Ben Bruce has revealed what Isa Funtua told him 3 hours before his death.



https://mobile.twitter.com/benmurraybruce/status/1285308137327779841

Poor education has dealt so badly with you.
Your topic clearly states: What Isa Funtua told Ben Bruce.

How did you end up captioning your topic with that, when Ben Bruce did not reveal anything about what Funtua said?

Ok, so what exactly did Isa Funtua tell Mr Bruce?

Abagworo:
Chino believe what you like but if you meet me you shall be humbled. The least of my staff earns 30k and that's the gateman at my residence meaning I pay federal minimum wage. My support for Okorocha is purely based on my true conviction and you can notice that even now.

Give it a rest, dude!

You make actually rich people ashamed.
Your anal fixation with Rochas is unhealthy.

Abagworo:
Rather you are the one being paid. Owerri and entire Imo State witnessed massive development in basically every sector and there was clear prospect of brighter future until Ihedioha took over and started destroying physical developments then abandoning ongoing projects as well as refusing to maintain already completed ones that needed minor maintenance.

If you knew me you would know I stand to gain nothing from any politician cause I made money early in life enough to sustain my next generation. My concern is only a better Nigeria for them

Nope.
No way.

Not saying anyone can't be rich, but....
Rabid asslickers such as you can never be rich. You have no better survival skill than ilachasi otele

Licking Rochas' ass was the ultimate thing for you, that you haven't recovered since he and his family were booted out from government house.

A truly independent man won't get bothered with the way you have been since your paymaster left.
Finally, nobody gives a flying damn if you even own half of Imo or Rivers State. But of course, you don't.

Not saying I don't enjoy your jonsing posts here though

Huh

donstan18:
Oh! My dear abiriba in Ohafia LGA.

Abia State are lucky to have you in their state, because if not for the existence of Ohafia and Ngwa in Abia state, Abia would have ended up as a 3rd class Igbo state like Ebonyi!

This is a silly thing to say.
But then, you are a Yoruba twerp. Not a surprise.
Even though the Ebonyi State you are denigrating has become a shinning beacon of light in a shitty country.
Which one of the SW states is a first class Yoruba state?

TheGodlessGod:
This question is for only Edo people.

We've been hearing about igbos and their quest to have their own country, they went to war in 1967 because of it..

They are claiming part of our territory even in Edo state as their own(igbanke). While some are even claiming our allies in Delta State (urhobo, itskerri).

Most of them don't want Edo people in their country (which I love) but they want to take some of our territory along with them.

What do you think about biafra?? Do you support them?

If you can just take one minute to think and realize that all the state boundaries presently in existence in Nigeria were carved by your fellow humans mostly in military uniform, and that these boundaries were made for political expediency without consulting the native dwellers on those lands....
Then you'll understand that you're just making a lot of needless noise.

Igbos are found in parts of Delta, Edo and Benue states.
Igalas are found in parts of Anambra State.
Ijaws are found in parts of Ondo State. Same with Itsekiri.
Hausas are found in parts of North Central states whose majority ethnic groups are not Hausas.
Yorubas are found in parts of Kogi State.....
The list goes on and on.

To say that Igbos are the ones that drive you mad says a lot. I mean, if the entire Edo State decide today that they want to be an independent nation, and wants the Igbos within the geographical boundary identified as Edo state to be a part of it, do you know what Igbos would do?



Nothing!
Mostly nothing.
Igbos won't lose sleep over it.

This is because Igbos generally have realized one thing: humans will always adapt, adjust and find their level. The fittest will survive and thrive. The Igbos in those territories will thrive....and then you lots will start bellyaching over their trying to dominate you. Same as Yorubas are doing in Lagos. Though this is a slightly different analogy because Igbos aren't early settlers in Lagos and environs.

Igbos want to be left alone to chart their own course and forge their own destiny.
Your opinion on this as an Edo man (whatever that means) is totally inconsequential. Let us be. We aren't your problem, until you make us your problem. The Nigerian project has been so good to you, hasn't it?
And, the day an Igbo man will sit down to discuss the Edo nation (just like you are doing right now about Igbos) hell would freeze over.

Ask an average Igbo what he thinks about an Edo nation, and he will just shrug. Because it is a non issue. There are more important things to work on. I hope you and the guys you mentioned get to understand this.

Chris525:
Biafra has no business with Edo or claiming any part of Edo. True, the igbanke of Edo speak ibo but thats about what there is to it. They are settlers.

All over the south, even in the SE, up to Benue & Kogi there are people speaking Edoid languages. Edos will not go there to claim their land or impose anything on them. Its common sense.

In this era of social media & free speech, online or public space is littered with junk & half thoughts. We must be smart about what we react to.

Edo has never been involved directly or indirectly with the Biafra struggle. Edo has no part to play or relationship of any sort with the struggle. Safe to say Edo do not support & also are not against but no doubt their body language is tilted towards Nigeria. More like a neutral with a preference. I also dont think the Igbo see them as their antagonists.

Succinct!
You were very objective with this analysis.

Dennis3D:
Keep following up with us

Yessir, I'm following you like a hunchback
Just that you didn't reply my question.
I asked how the swimming pool will be drained when its time for cleaning, since there are no drainage channels in the location.

This would be my first consideration if I want to build a pool.

joseph1832:
Naptu2. I think you missed a song. Dude is a Calabar guy or so. Etien T. Boy if I spell the name right, title of the song is Chop I Chop.

One thing you guys need to understand is that, not every song can be on the list. Even if he were to make it a list of 500 songs, not all the great songs will be listed. That's impossible.

Meanwhile, I know this song u mentioned, and I agree it is a great song. It is also available on YouTube.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBsdNqVXTZ8

naptu2:
This one?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUV594PUSFk

No, not this one

Last time I searched on youtube for it was a few days ago, as I was hoping someone finally uploaded it. I also played this track. I have played virtually all of Christy's music on youtube, but yet to find this particular one I am looking for. I think the title is Akwa Ibom.

Last time I heard that music was when I was in Nigeria and it was played on Wazobia FM, Lagos. This was about 4 or 5 years ago.

naptu2:
Oro Re was also quite popular and got heavy rotation on the NTA.

I didn't reply that guy because I was looking for Omo and I wanted to post that first but it was blocked. A lot of those songs have been on YouTube for years, it's just that they were blocked. They have been unblocked due to YouTube's new license agreement and this is Omo.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q4zGfuuXqU

Oh, that's great!
Makes sense, because last time I searched on Youtube, I couldn't find Omo.

Thank you.

Africaman:
I know this post was addressed to Naptu2, however I'm just letting you know there are some of Roseline Ogunro's songs on youtube. Unfortunately, "olofofo" is not one of them.

Here is one called "Oro Re":


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slAufX03Fwc&list=PL5lq3R0TeFOyGlEQX-TGYF1jsHo6evKjZ&index=12&t=0s

Enjoy

Yeah, they are available on Youtube, but her most successful song, titled "omo" (Yoruba word for child) isn't on Youtube.

naptu2:
Christy Essien Igbokwe - Ka Anyi Gba Egwu (1981).


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flh_E-Gd6nQ

Can you help a brother out, please?
There's this song by Christy Essien Igbokwe, where she was hailing, or talking about Akwa Ibom. I think she sang it in the local language (maybe Ibibio)
I'm also thinking the title of the song could be Akwa Ibom. Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Dennis3D:
Thank you for your questions.
The introduction of ground beam was as a result of historical background of the place. However, once it's ascertained that the land is good enough without ground movement and fast settlement, you may not need ground beam. Example of this was a two story we did in Uratta Owerri. There was no need for ground beam then because the soil was strong.

The foundation still remains pad and strip. The only new thing is the beam.

Interesting. You've handled a project at Uratta before? I'm preparing to put a small structure on my land there.
Here's something I'm curious about: by what means will the pool be drained when needed, since there's no drainage channels in the area?

vizkiz:
Stand your ground. You are a man not a child.

How do you know?

Could be a kid in his late teens, or maybe an adult in early 20s who's not certain of his next meal, much less talking about marriage.

In this instance, being a man (as opposed to being childish) is not a function of age. He could even be in his 30s and still think and act this way. Not everyone is matured, despite their age.
This one is definitely one of them

ukukaegbu:
The headline sha

What about the headline?
I believe it aptly captured the narration of what happened.

I don't like thinking about the civil war and it's aftermath. With the way things turned out, and Biafra getting reabsorbed into Nigeria, the whole thing was in vain. Millions of soul lost and Nigeria never became a better place afterwards.

The black race can't seem to learn any useful lesson

Doesn't this man ever take a break from bogus talks?
We are yet to see the jobs created by masquerades....

My wish for today is to be alone at a deserted street corner with this man. There is something I want to discuss with him

punisha:
Why parade the lost girl when all she needs is rehabilitation?
Useless NPF

Exactly!
This is a minor. Why parade her, even though her face was not shown?
She is not a criminal. She doesn't deserve to be treated this way.
Yeah, she was wayward and misguided. But parading her? That's even more disgusting than the misdemeanor she got involved with.

dingbang:
LPG gas has a foul smell so one can easily notice leakage just from perceiving it.

Second.. Always change your gas supply hoses after some months.

Comment in bold is misleading. What even gave you that idea?
Except they are sabotaged, gas hoses can be in use for several years. They aren't kept outside to get exposed to the elements, so there is absolutely no reason why rubber hoses should be changed after a few months.

Only thing I'm wondering is how come she didn't perceive the smell of gas when she stepped into the kitchen.

BeLookingIDIOT:
Lol...you guys are funny.
You created one page listing some Igbo businessmen,so therefore you guys own Nigeria.
The only people that keeps running from their developed states to settle in undeveloped places

But you do see Chinese, Europeans, Indians and many other foreign businessmen and entrepreneurs all over Nigeria and Africa.
They all left their much more developed countries to come to your shithole to do business.
Have you bothered to ask yourself or ask them why they do this?
It is the Igbo business men you and folks with small minds will keep criticizing because you don't know any better.

If foreigners from developed countries come to Lagos to set up businesses, why shouldn't an Igbo man?

Keep being a dunce and don't tap into opportunities you see around you.

Angry nairlander trashed mom's ingredients containers and smashed glass door, after dad asked him to move out.

The way you guys will lift a media online and give it your own caption can be annoying.

So, he is now a "nairalander?" Whatever the hell that means.
I've seen this video in a couple of places since yesterday with entirely different reports

Bulleye:
Before Nwodo, Nnamdi Kanu once gave order that Kumuyi, Deeper Life General Overseer , should be stoned if he dared step his feet in Abia for a crusade. Deeper Life called off the crusade. Ndigbo did not rise up in unison to condemn Kanu. To them Kanu was dealing with a Yoruba person. Body of Christ was less important than Biafra struggle. Kanu was on course.Biafra first and the end justified the means.

It was Igbo nationalism at its peak. Ndigbo saw all non - Igbo as enemies and Nnamdi Kanu was given the assignment to deal with them all. And he was doing a fantastic job.

Not until he attacked Nwodo did Ndigbo wake up that there are "elders". All the elderly people of non - Igbo extraction deserved insults. Ndigbo elders being insulted? No way! This is hypocrisy of highest order. Perhaps if Ndigbo had cautioned Nnamdi Kanu over his attack on Kumuyi, he would not have issued the stoning order on Nwodo. Kumuyi did not deserve respect from Ndigbo but Nwodo does.

Blood is really thicker than water and Ndigbo should also allow other ethnic nationalities to protect and honour their elders. Not even the body of Christ could make Ndigbo respect Kumuyi. It was Biafra first and Christ second.

You made valid points here.
All those who support Nnamdi Kanu, irrespective of what he says, are as dumb and as guilty.
Thing is, most Nigerian youths have lost the capacity to think for themselves.

We have been trampled upon and emasculated so much by politics and politicians, we have all become sheep.
Very sad

4Ebiscoo:
Things have changed. Unlike the archaic traditions where women mingling with men was a taboo, today couples enjoy the freedom of being wherever they want and whoever they want. Marriage has become so easy and become a platform where people practice whatever they see or have heard of.

In the past there was fear if one saw you private parts and man used leaves to cover her important parts.Today even some walk naked in the name of fashion and dynamic society.

Here is why you should never bath with your wife.

Lowers interest for conjugal rights.

In the same bathroom and both of you ready to shower. At some point it might be interesting as the two of you enjoy splashing water at each other. Seeing your partners tools might become so obvious that you even lack interest when it comes to conjugal rights. This at times might force one to try and find a different person hence encourages infidelity.

Creates fear

Some people are shy.Remember not everybody has the confidence you may have. With teachings from community and religion the value of one's organs might create fear if you force or want to have a bath with them.One might not enjoy the act for s/ he fears that somebody is enjoying the view of their body.

It can lead to differences or fear of water,"kupiga passport".

Lowers one esteem

If someone has knowledge about one of your weaknesses, then you lose confidence in yourself. Even if they are your partner and are continuously, daily, seeing your unclothedness, you will have a low esteem.Some people might use the advantage to investigate your body and find out points to attack you whenever you request for favors and thus lowers one's self worth.

Can lead to unpleasant behavior.

Evident in social media among most celebrities. The digital era has brought about high focal lens cameras in phones that can record, store and share videos. Taking photos or videos in the bathroom might be good for you at the moment but as well bad when things fall apart.If the two of you differ, one can post your photo to instill more pain into you and show how worthless you are.

With social media, anybody who is familiar with you can have the information and it is just embarrassing.

https://www.mcebiscoo.com/why-you-should-not-bath-with-your-partner/

You, brainless Dumbo, are a waste of sperm.

I mean, your parents would cringe in utter horror and shame to realize what they sired came up with this shiii.
That you couldn't get a girl to share your bed isn't enough reason to become what you are. You can always jerk off.
Such pitiful tripe

I think you should read the thread above. While I cannot take you to task for not being a dealer and not having any clue as to what it's like to be one, you certainly must take responsibility for the conviction that you have a valid opinion on a matter that you know little about.

First off, there's no room for greed in this business: you simply won't make any sales. Secondly, if it is greed (according to you) to sell a vehicle at what you erroneously believe to be an exorbitant price, what do you call your offer of 1.8m for a vehicle that you clearly stated is worth 2m? I think it's foolery and this as I have mentioned elsewhere is a major problem in trying to sell cars on Nairaland. You have way more unserious 'buyers' than real buyers. If only the unserious 'buyers' will just admire the picture of the vehicle and move on, life'll be a tad more pleasant for dealers here. But no. Never mind that I said 'call or Whatsapp', you must necessarily publicly post an offer on my thread that undermines the sense of my venture. And before I have said much, you advise me to drive the car myself.

Thank you for your advice. Now, please get off my thread before I lose my cool and gift you the car for 1.8m naira - a 'gift' I doubt you're willing to accept in any case. And this calls to question all over again the point of your initial post.

Do read the thread I posted its link above. It'll help.

Nwokem, I can't afford to buy this great ride now, but I would love to buy you a drink!
I just love the way you handle yourself here. You kept it real and matured. Yep, NL is filled with lots of unsavory characters, but note that online is the future, so we have to bear with this necessary evil.

And yeah, I called you nwokem because my intuition tells me you've got to be a proud son of the Land of the Rising Sun.

Keep rising!
