The name Eid-ul-Adha is confusing.

Non muslims do not know what is Eid-ul-Adha

Call it Eid - El- Kabir celebration.

EID-EL-KABIR

Why is the United Nation silent?

Amnesty International should speak.

Wizardslayer:
Putin's problem is greed and selfishness.

He's self-centred.

Putin remain a great political leader.

He is an asset to Russia.

What is responsible for the Scarcity of Soda drinks in Nigeria eg Teem Soda?

Why are there no alternative brands of Soda drinks?

It is very scarce in places like Warri, Delta state.

I am sure it is the same in most other places in Nigeria.

Peter Obi came to implement Igbo Biafra Agenda.

I fear his government.

I am comfortable with a northern government than Peter Obi as President of Nigeria.

Many Pro Biafra Igbo group are requesting that Anioma area be merged to the south east states.

This is a disturbing regional realignment.

kingbee90:

Edo and Ashewo is like bread and butter.

Prostitution is a global phenomenon.

It is not exclusive to individuals from Edo State.
Let’s be honest—this issue cuts across all ethnic groups in Nigeria.
It is not something that can be attributed to any single tribe.

Therefore, it is unfair and misleading to draw conclusions that target one particular ethnic group.

God1000:
Where is the UN, amnesty international, AU, ECOWAS etc when you need them the most

We need ECOMOG troops in Benue to put an end to the senseless killings, Nigerian military is highly politicized, compromised and biased

You have said it all.

YOU ARE ON POINTS !

Learn bakery skills.

That is a plus for her.

She can work as a freelancer with her mass communication degree.

Bentacur007:
Where are those monies going to?
No impact at all
Fuel subsidy removed- No impact
Nigeria has cleared IMF debt- No impact

POLITICAL LEADERS IN NIGERIA ARE VERY CORRUPT THAT IS THE REASONS ALL THIS MONEY IS NOT REFLECTING ON THE LIVES OF THE CITIZENRY.

The masses will not divide themselves even further with religion and ethnicity.

While the politicians make themselves comfortable with the spoil of public office.

It has been like this since Independence period till date nothing much has changed.

Politicians are very corrupt.

bankyblue:
Gen Danjuma kept on saying protect yourself.

That is the solution.

Retired General Theophilus Danjuma is right.

prothrombin:
Guava or guava?

In the process of making corrections in spelling you also made mistake.

Quava should be Guava.

omonnakoda:
Every thing in life has two side Let me introduce a different perspective

Yes farmers are making money but does the country benefit?

Some may argue. It brings in dollars .

Why are dollars a good thing? What do you do with the dollars? Consume imported stuff that fuels jobs in other countries?


The problem is this

Land used to grow cocoa is not being used to grow stuff that we eat in Nigeria. That is a problem

Is that opportunity cost worth it for the country if you end up importin rice? using dollars?

African Nations are being used as farmlands for rich countries to grow cocoa, cashew nuts cassava, coffee, tea even flowers whilst African people go hungry. Most of these cash crops their people cannot afford to consume.

We are not even allowed to add value to the cocoa and the real money is made in places like the USA, Belgium, France, Switzerland


We need to forget about using our land to service Europe with things our people cannot afford to consume

The other thing is that they have the power to crash prices of cocoa and other commodities when you least expect it . We have seen it many times with crude oil


We should focus on trading with our African neighbours growing things that Nigerians eat or our neighbours eat

Rice , Yam, beans, vegetables, cassava potatoes
If we must grow cocoa. We must insist on making chocolates from it and aim to get our people to consume it
If not let us aim to train our youths to make electric cars, solar panels and so on

No matter how you dice it the labourers working on cocoa farms are close to slave labour. Our people deserve better

Now Chinese people are going into the bush and loading containers with cashew and cocoa and our people are celebrating because they see the kind of money they have never seen before but it is not in our best interest. We need to look at the bigger world picture. See what Trump is doing

Let our land serve us

Something similar is happening with Dangote. He is more intent on exporting fertilizer than mobilizing it to boost food production in Nigeria.

Here is a very interesting fact

Nigeria is number 8 in the list of countries with Arable land and number one in Africa.


Why are we hungry.

The cocoa story is nice but let us switch that to what we actually eat IN NIGERIA

You made interesting points.

I think even yam that we roast, boil, fry, etc in Nigeria is exported to Europe and Asia to earn foreign exchange while we grow hungry and angry in Nigeria.

No bi Juju Dem do us so as a government and as a people.

Let's policy makers in Nigeria particularly in the Agricultural sectors start thinking home.

This is also an African problems also.

By extension the problems of countries that surrounds the gulf of guinea which includes Nigeria.

If there is democracy in Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon etc citizens from these countries will enjoy good living conditions.

However, Africa is jumping from one dictator to another.

It doesn't not matter if they are a civilian president or a military head of state.

They are all bloody dictators.

See what Museveni is doing in Uganda after over 30 years in power.

President Paul Biya of the republic of Cameron is running 50 years in power.

President Nguema Mbasingo is running 45 years or more in power.

It was only Ghadafi that achieved so much for his Libya people while he was ruling Libya for over 40 years.

Abloh:
Na Gabon problem be that

But it is African problems also.

By extension the problems of countries that surrounds the gulf of guinea which includes Nigeria.

The Igbo are the most emotional people on earth.

They act recklessly without using their brains.

When other ethnic groups decided to strike back they will begin to be playing the victim card calling Nigeria a zoo.

But they the ones now acting like Animal now.

tunjion:
They are still operating in their communities as we speak.

The suspension is only valid inside Oba of Beniin palace, e no reach Igbanke land.

now u tell your Oba to do his worst.

,,..........................................,............,..........................

Which law are they using to operate as Eze?

They have no legal backing of any government.

This is how Igbo started the 1966 military coup when it started they started crying and playing the victim card that the rest of Nigeria hate their people.

By making him King that means he can no long do his entertainment business.

He will be in palace receiving his subjects.

Igbo ! Why have you killed this Okey Bakassi career ?

Except the kingship that is given to him is just for symbolic fame and not a real king in the sense of what is practised in other regions of Nigeria.

Exceed15:
North will go rampage because of silly blasphemy but not against the real monsters devouring them everyday.

You are right on point.

Like in the case of Deborah Samuel that occurred in Sokoto state.

Hey ! Why did you make a statement against Prophet Mohammed and all that bla bla

But serious case like killing of farmers, kidnapping for ransom they often keep quiet.

Not Hard Drugs Trafficking in India this time around.

Okay !

Celestialsword:
It will be worse than the insecurity the country is presently facing.

The present numbers of the security personnel in the country will be doubled to meet the needs of the people.because the nation will literally be in a war mode as insecurity will become worse

Many age long disagreement will be settled through the barrel of the gun,families will be wiped off from the face of the earth out of jealousy and hate.

Blacks are born and filled with hate and wickedness, they can't handle firearms,it will surely be abused

The federal government should amend the federal constitution to approve state police, local government police and regional police.

Or they focus on creating only a state police as this will help to reducing cost of funding.

If this is not done then the alternative should be the federal government should consider amending the guns laws in Nigeria and approving the broader use of guns in Nigeria.

They can start with registered farming communities first.

This is where the biggest challenges is.

Farmers should be allowed to own guns.

Others groups can be looked at on a case by case basis.

The biggest group facing threats in the lands are predominantly Nigerian farmers especially in the middle belt and the southern part of Nigeria.

ibibiogrl:
Please don't include us Ibibios in what does not concern us There are no indigenous Ibibios in Abia state, our elders left Ibom kingdom after loosing the war. It's just the names which has been corrupted, since they're no Ibibio speaking group left. Example Obot Okon Ita now called Obinkita🤨
Infact the neighboring ethnic groups in Akwa Ibom to Abia state is Annang, they get along with Igbos well, because they share some similar cultures.🤔

1. Historical Settlement:
Before colonial borders, the Ibibio people occupied a much larger area stretching across parts of today's Akwa Ibom State, Cross River State, and some fringes of Abia State.

Particularly around the Arochukwu area, Abam, Ohafia, and nearby regions, there were pockets of Ibibio-speaking groups.

Some of these people were absorbed, conquered, or assimilated over centuries by expanding Igbo groups, especially during the Aro Confederacy period (17th-19th centuries).


2. Specific Places Where You Find Indigenous Ibibio Roots in Abia State
Arochukwu LGA
(Some of the ancestral inhabitants before the Aro conquest were Ibibio.)

Isu and parts of Ihechiowa
(In these communities, there are traditions that mention Ibibio ancestry or early settlement.)

Cross-riverine villages along the Abia-Akwa Ibom border.

However, today most of these areas are politically and culturally classified as Igbo — through assimilation, language shift, and intermarriage over centuries.

omozu1:
My dear ask the Dein of Agbor where they are from
He should be in a better position to say
I am too sure he will tell you they are from Benin.

You are absolutely correct with your statement.

AGBOR PEOPLE ARE FROM BENIN.

Till today they still bear bini names just like Igbanke.

They bear Osazuwa, Osagie, Igubor, etc

Even in Igbanke the closes community that is right in Edo state.

The Igbanke people are ethnic binis.

Yes, Ika influences may have come in the form of Language spoken in the course of co-existence due to migration, trade and conflicts in the land so people move to where they can find security but that does not change their EDO ancestry.

Igbo Presidency Will Be Difficult With This Kind of Negative Publicity about Igbo expansionist behaviour.

The way some Igbos are damaging the image of the Igbo nation is not helping their political aspirations.

How do you expect Nigeria to trust you with the presidency when you keep attacking the identity of other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria?

Let’s be clear:

There are Edo descendants in Onitsha who proudly trace their roots back to the ancient Benin Empire.

There are Igala communities in both Anambra and Enugu states.

There are Ibibio communities in Abia State, particularly around the Arochukwu area.

Even the Abiriba people are historically distinct from the Igbo.

Igbos in the South East have even forced this distinct group who are not really Igbos to drop their historical connection with their ancestry and make them appear as if every tribe in the south east is Igbo.

This is a very big lies.

The King in Igala do not interfere in what is happening in the South East.

The Oba of Benin and the Benin people do not interfere with what is happening in the South East.

The Kings in Ibibio do not call out the Igbos despite the fact that their people are indigenous to Abia state.

Why is Biafra Igbos so concerned about Igbanke, Ikwerres and the rest ethnic nationalities that do not want to follow the Igbos to Biafra?

Look at Lagos State:
The Igbo dominate almost all the seafaring businesses at the Apapa Ports and other parts of Lagos. The Yoruba people opened the doors for Igbo traders and professionals to thrive in Lagos.

At the political level, Lagos State has shown goodwill towards the Igbo:

Joe Igbokwe, an Igbo son, held a top position in Lagos politics.

Ben Ifeanyi Akabueze, another prominent Igbo figure, served as Commissioner for Budget and Planning under Tinubu and was later appointed to a major federal role in Abuja.

Even today, an Imo State woman has just been appointed as the first female spokesperson for the Nigerian Army — another example of national inclusion.

But sadly, the Igbo have not reciprocated such goodwill towards others.

In several parts of the South-South and South West, the Igbo show blatant disregard for indigenous cultures that recognize kings and traditional authorities. Instead, they impose their Ohaneze leadership structures.

This kind of behavior is what fuels distrust — and makes an Igbo presidency even harder to achieve.

Adexgentle005:
Has he lead the National Assembly members to benue and plateau states to see the family member of the victims who lost their lives ? Smh!

You are right on Points !

Infact, you hit Senator Akpabio directly at the points where it hurts badly.

That his fat stomach will explode and release his guilt before the world.

BafanaBafana:
Trump will never comment on stuff like this. You will however see him always announcing Ukrainian casualty figures or Russian military strength while pretending to sympathize with Ukraine.

Thanks for this great point.

regenerateman:
I pity the Nigerian youths that are killing themselves for these politicians. They are the same thing. Whether PDP, APC LP, APGA. Du ka daya.

Then should we leave the country for them to spoilt the country further.

We must take back our country.

Snotat:
They will learn they hard way.
They cursed religious leaders.
Nothing is wrong with wearing miniskirt, Nothing is wrong with clubbing.
Nothing is wrong with prostitute standing by the road side day and night.
Those western lifestyle you decided to copy, let's see if you can handle it here in a poor country like Nigeria.

WESTERN LIFESTYLE IS NOT THE ONLY WAY HIV AND AIDS CAN BE CONTACTED.

Your narrowing the scripts to only those people is not a complete package.

There still other ways it can be innocently contacted.

Even careless nurse, doctor or pharmacist can make innocent people to contact AIDS.

Nansense !

This is not Asia. - India, Nepal or whatever such strange cultures are practised.

African should shun distasting culture.

thatigboman:
former minister of women affairs under tinubu. That was sacked for corruption

THE TINUBU GOVERNMENT PREVENTED THE EFCC AND THE JUDICIARY FROM INVESTIGATING HER.

That Efcc Chairman that came with a drive to do good works for the common citizens of Nigeria was melted down and now the man now select who to prosecute and who not to prosecute.

How then can there be justice.

SlavaUkraini:
Those boobs looks so succulent and sweet 💋💋

I have finished sucking them in my mind

Internet privacy have given you opportunity to sexually molest women verbally and run away.

How will you feel if someone talk down on your daughter, mother, sister, niece or in law?

Ashawo man !

NIGERIA END FULANI HERDSMEN AND TERRORIST ATTACK ON FARMING COMMUNITY.

Agriculture should be the new future for Nigeria.
