What's your problem really?

Did your parents smoke weed in the open like you do nowadays? Were homosexual people as bold in those days like they are now?

A man's private romantic video was leaked by his antagonists and you are here crying more than the bereaved.

Did the duo leak the video?

There was nothing reprehensible about the video except through the lens of your limited sight.

You are now a proud African when it suits your narrative, the next event with still make you curse the day you were born an African.

Zlantanfan has scampered away and you seek to take his place?

Why are your people so skilled on insults? I hear you guys have no respect for anything or anyone. You insults parents, uncles and even aged people. It is not possible for you to have a decent discussion without insults. Any you say you are a mother, I wonder what you are teaching your children.

A decent man or woman don't do private romantic video and leave it on his phone. Been married for over 15 years, love my wife to death, have children in the house, would never make a "romantic" video and leave same on my phone. It is IRRESPONSIBLE. The phone could get stolen. No matter how many times I change my password, my children always open my phone.

If you are in the habit of making "romantic" videos with your husband and storing same on your phone, someday, we will also watch you on xvideos.

The extent to which you guys are ready to go to support Kanu, I hope he does not do a Jim Jones on you guys.

Gandollaar:
Is it Kanu's fault that you have a hippopotamus as a spouse? I don't see any degrading there except green envy oozing from every hole in your body..

When Kanu came out to take pride over the video, you died a little that day cos you and fellow haters had thought he'd be so ashamed of it, but he threw more poo in your faces with the post you quoted.

Still, nothing in the post suggests he posted the video himself or his elegant wife did.

I now understand why people blow themselves up on the orders of Al-Baghdadi or why Trump said even if he shoot someone on 5th street in broad daylight light, he will not lose any followers.

Girls, what kanu did is morally reprehensible especially by African standards. People get arrested on the streets for "indecent dressing". It is a taboo in many cultures including igbo culture for any other man to see your wife's unclothedness or even semi - unclothedness. You don't display sex in public. Your parents never did it. In fact our parents never had sex or even kissed in front of children.

I am yet to see an IPOB supporter duplicate what kanu did. Non had shown their wives in just pant and bra staring at the camera. Non had put her face into the crouch area of their husband to show love and affection.

So u don't know that APC has been using all this news on birth control to test the microphone at impending birth control laws..?

Look, china's strength is its population, hence Canada wants to fill it's population.....

Mum naida go go listen to US na

China's strength is not its population, it's in its ability manage and control it's population. If China had not started managing it's population from 1970s, it would never have developed.

It's never an APC vs PDP issue. You guys just can't see beyond APC vs PDP. The only government that saw population as a problem and made a fibble attempt at addressing it was Babangida with his 1 woman 4 child policy. There were no PDP and APC then.

Canada is undepopulated given its size and rescources. Canada the second largest country in the world in terms of land mass has a population of least than 40 million. That's about the population of the South East. Canada definitely needs to increase its population.

mychiveous:
Let the FG Conduct a referedum. So we they see if we want to break up or wax stronger.

Breaking up will achieve nothing, in fact breaking up will exasperate our problems. If Nigeria breaks into 4 or 6 components, all the components will be highly unstable except probably the south west. The north east and North West will become an Islamic terrorist country. The middle belt will become Fulani herdsmen battle ground. The south east will be in a perpetual state of civil war due to power struggle - IPOB vs MASSOB vs Biafra Zionist movement, Igbo majority vs minorities (which had always been an issue in the old eastern region). The NigerDelta would also be in a state of perpetual conflict as various states, tribes and clans fight for control of oil resources. And worst still the different components would then became a pawn and bargaining chips of foreign powers like the US, China, UK, France, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc. This what is happening in Venezuela right now.

NaMeAboki:
Only pessimists cannot see that we are slowly moving in the right direction.

Our population is an economic asset and will manifest itself once we achieve food security.

First world indigenous populations in Europe and America are contracting and they are afraid of assimilation from immigrants; hence some of the scare tactics and population control measures targeted at the 3rd world who are seen as serious potential emigration threat.

How can we achieve food security with climate change? The Sahara is accelerating south, the rainforest is being devastated, erosion is taking over the east and the Atlantic is accelerating north. All these will lead to fights for the few available fertile lands.

Uncontrolled population is never an asset, else countries like China and India will not work so hard to control their population.

Uncontrolled population is like a man bearing uncontrolled children while earning the same wages. With each child the family gets poorer.

Even emigration is a temporary measure. The whole world needs to control world population. The earth has finite space and resources and is finding it difficult providing for 7 billion humans. Now if we double to 14 billion, which we are projected to do in the next 50 or so years, that will be catastrophic.

NaMeAboki:
We will not succumb to your American panic inducing prediction again; Nigeria will continue to recover and be great again; if we had believed you the country would have long broken up since 2015 - but guess what; we are still waxing strong and moving forward, even though slowly.

The man us telling the truth. The number of babies born in Nigeria yearly is higher than those born in the whole of the EU including Russia. Our unchecked and uncontrolled population growth is a time bomb waiting to explode.

I want to ask the God in the Bible, in the Old Testament, you used to talk directly with the human beings. Then why you stopped doing so later? Are the Adam and Eve on other planets also disobeying your orders? Why would you warn the human beings in the form of dreams? Why not tell us the truth directly? Don’t you have the ability to do so? Don’t you have time? Don you have

I can give many other examples to state that the God in the Bible does not have the features of being sole and only, amorphous, neutral, mysterious, impartial, supremely powerful, merciful and wise as genuine Greatest Creator has.

So we can affirm that “the God in the Bible is not the genuine Greatest Creator”.


Who tell you God doesn't speak directly to us,




Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

According to the Christian Bible, the devil is far more competent than Yahweh. Without threats, intimidation or actual violence, he got one third of the angels to rebel against God. WWithout threats, intimidation or actual violence, he got Adam and Eve to disobey God. Without threats, intimidation or actual violence, he gets far more people to follow his will. In contrast, the bible God uses threats of punishments and rewards, had killed all humans and animals excepts noah and his ark at one time, all in a bid to control man. In his last desperate effort sacrificed his only son. Still yet, he not able to get love, obedience and control of Man willingly.

Oyibo too good jare. Black man cannot allow a fellow black man contest election in his region, if the person from another region, but see the way oyibo dey allow people from not just other regions, but other races contest and win elections.

That's what I have been trying to say all along, black people are far more racist and tribalist than Oyinbo. Oyinbo people welcome foreigner with open arms and accept them into all spheres of life. You become an American, British, Norwagian, Canadian, etc citizen after just living in their country for 10 years. In Africa, even if your great grandparents lived in the place and you and your parents were born in that place, you will never been given the same rights as a citizen or an indigene, once your name does not sound local.

FortuneDeGreat:
You better shot your trap if you know nothing about the Igbos, must you insinuate on issues you know zilch about.

Have you ever been to Igbo land? You can't just sit in your house and type rubbish.

You guys are famed for insults and emotional rants, never sensible debate. Answer the question as to why there are no thriving foreign community in the south east.

I hope he Protects Nigeria interest

The same way Obama protected Kenya's interest, and
Because it was Nigerians that voted him in.

I have been an alternative power enthusiast for close to 20 years now and I have tried all sorts of products. I feel the problem of solar power is cost, which is determined by the configuration, long term cost and convenience.
Let me explain.
The way solar is installed in Nigeria is not cost effective or convenient. The weak points in solar installations are the battery and the inverter, while the strongest point is the solar panels itself. Good inverters that can last up to 10years are very expensive, these are the US brands. The next best inverters are Indian, they last between 2 - 5 years before developing problems. Chinese ones are a waste of money.
Batteries are also very expensive and inefficient, especially lead based ones. You should not draw lead acid batteries beyond 50% DOD if you wish to get reasonable time on its usage. Depending on DOD, you can get between 6months to 2 years on it. The best and most efficient chemistry for solar batteries is lithium. You can draw li-ion or liPO4 to 85% DOD without any problem. Lithium batteries can go 5 years without any significant loss of capacity. Although it is more expensive, to enjoy solar energy and avoid changing batteries every couple of years, lithium is the way to go.

I have a concept whereby you eliminate the inverter altogether and run most of your load directly from the panels during sunlight hours and run only essential loads like lights, fans, TVs, at night, thereby greatly reducing battery capacity. If you could run your car, truck and even moblie home with DC, why not essential loads like lights, fans, TVs and even small fridge-freezer.

DamolaIbrahim:
If you are open minded like the Igbos, you can do business, live, buy houses and lead in Igboland, even as a non-Ibo. Yes it is possible. But only the courageous people with an open mind like Ibos can survive and Succeed in Igboland. Get courageous and open minded. Nobody go dash you leadership anywhere, you'll have to EARN IT.

As civilized as Canada is, Kaycee madu still faced racial discrimination (according to article) , yet he powered on and won. Be like Ibos, be courageous and open-minded, then you can get their loyalty, the way the world becomes loyal to Ibo politicians from US to Poland, Italy and Canada and vote them to lead.

Peace

You skirted the question I asked. I know it is possible, but why is not not happening? Why has any other tribe or nationality not been able to do business, live, buy houses and lead in Igboland? We have Lebanese, Chinese, Indians, etc doing business in Lagos and Ibadan, we have Lebanese communities in Kano, but no foreign communities in the south east. Are you insinuating that all other people of the world are not courageous and open minded except the Igbos?

horsepower101:
Gbam. The first elected mayor of Enugu was a Fulani man.

That was before we became ultra tribalist. Today an mbaise man cannot become a local government chairman of an Mbano town before you start talking about a full fulani man.

DamolaIbrahim:
If there are enough Oyinbo in Igboland, doing business, and contributing to development, they'll have the opportunity to lead. I know Ibo very well. They contribute to progress and become part and parcel of anywhere they settle.

But will enough oyinbo be allowed to do business in Igbo land and contribute to its development? Why is it easy for igbos to contribute to progress and become part and parcel of every where else, but difficult for everyone else to become part and parcel of Igbo land?
I have heard of igbos discriminating against other igbos in terms of political and civil service appointments

DamolaIbrahim:
An Igbo man will likely be the first African president of Canada, UK or USA.

The chances are there undeniably.

But can the reverse also happen? Can a Canadian man win the first oyinbo governor in Nigeria, maybe a south eastern state? Why is it easy for oyinbo you accept foreigners into their political space and we on the other hand don't even accept others from the same country not to talk of from another country?

The problem with us Nigerians (and I would say black Africans in general) is that we are resistant to change. We believe in doing things the old ways. My office subscription for dstv ran out two weeks back and I am not ready to subscribe, so have been watching only the free channels, in which NTA is one of them. Had not watched NTA for decades. Was shocked that NTA remained the way it was 30 years ago, same logo, same theme music, same picture and audio quality, same studio. It seems the station is frozen in time - 1980s.

Most of these our private TV and even radio stations will not survive the next decade if they don't move with the times. Internet TV and radio will take over radio and TV, as the cost of unlimited bandwidth begins to fall. Already YouTube is gradually taking over from TV. Many Nigerians get their info and entertainment from YouTube. My wife hardly goes near the TV anymore because I bring my modem from the office after I close and she watches all the programmes she wants at night from YouTube. It is only the children that still watches cartoons and other children's programmes on DSTV. Mark Angel and Tonto Dike make millions every week solely from their YouTube channels.

Youtube TV recently launched in the US and will launch in the rest of the world within the next few years. Most new TVs has inbuilt youtube facility, all you need is a WiFi connection.

toolovely:
i'm surprised that you still haven't understood what he meant by that statement.
corruption is a compound word that can be used for anything that negates morality. GEJ was only trying to explain to us that we shouldn't lump stealing or call stealing corruption. rather we should call them thieves instead of corruption. and he gave instance of someone going to the market to steal something and people are shouting thief thief thief, people around will descend on the person and give him the treatment of a thief, but if you catch a thief and be shouting corruption corruption, no body will look at you and the thief will go free. so he was just trying to tell nigerians not to see those stealing govt money as corrupt but as thieves.

OK. Explain what he meant by "How much did Jim Nwobodo stole? Money not up to the price of a Peugeot and Buhari regime send him to jail. Is that good enough?"

nwanyionitsha:
Keep singing sweet lullabies to yourself. You go soon wake up from that dream.

It is you people that refused to move on from Jonathan's devastating defeat that are trapped in their utopia. Jonathan has moved on, the Ijaws have moved on, even Nigeria is moving on, but a certain groups of people have refused to move on.

nwanyionitsha:
And has he done that after 4years or is he going to do that in the next 4years? I laugh in mumurity language.

Even though Buhari is nepotic, slow and stubbornly deaf, he is till miles above Jonathan. Jonathan frittered away our boom years with very little to show for it except increased billionaires.
There is hardly a region today without physical ongoing projects and not just plans or launchings and ground breakings.
If things continue at the present pace, we may actually have some actual infrastructures before he leaves office.

bro,go and develop yourself than blaming school system,Nigeria is not alone in this...even the so called Whites, are suffering the same thing.Bottom line is:We are Lazy

How your response here relates to my post you quoted beats me. Are you sure you are responding to my post or mistakingly responding to someone else's post?

Firstorderwizard:
I totally disagree with you,the major cause of the problems in the north today is high level of illiteracy .Claiming that the north does not actually need education as a solution to their problems is a total fallacy.

the almajiri school system was well planned and implemented during GEJ tenure. It has no political undertone as all prominent northerners irrespective of political affiliation was involved in the planning of the whole thing.
Jubrin Aminu tried but failed.GEJ redesigned it and it recorded huge success cos the enrollment was very encouraging.
Let's tell ourselves the truth.Religious and tribal sentiments is not doing us any good.

I never said the high level of illiteracy in the north is not a problem or that the north does not need education. What I said is that the north does not think they need education, especially western education. If you read my post without blinkers, you will see clearly where I said, you can drag a horse to the river, but you cannot force the horse to drink.

The almajiri school was not well planned, if it was show me the laws and legislation backing it. Building structures and labeling them school means nothing. DESOPADEC and OMPADEC awarded loads of "schools" in the Niger delta at highly inflated costs. Most of the schools were never completed before you can even talk of actually operating.
As I have been asking, how was the almajiri school supposed to be run - teachers, books, administration? Who was to fund and maintain the schools - FG, state or local government?

By what criteria was it more successful than jubril Aminu's version?
How many students were enrolled in the programme and how many students graduated? Did it have any impact on the abysmal literacy levels in the north.
If it was such a huge success, how come it collapsed, the minute Jonathan left?

sarrki:
What has the present Goverment done to replace it ?

You fail to answer the question, what happened to the almajiri schools? If it was properly conceived and implemented with legislative and legal backing, I am sure no government can cancel it, like unity schools.
How many pupils did the schools graduate?

magoo10:
If the government at the federal level cannot give kids such as the almajiris education I wonder what their business in governance is.
Jonathan also performed in the area of agriculture in the north.

Did the northerners tell Jonathan that they want and need almajiri education? Various state governments in the past had tried to force northerners to send their kids to school and failed, why did Jonathan think he will succeed in changing their minds.

Read this report to get a better perspective;

Al Majiri education: Journey to nowhere
adekunle adekunle - 7 years ago
The al Majiri phenomenon is a cultural product of the Islamic North. Up till this day, there are sections of the lower classes of which truly believe what Boko Haram has been frank enough to proclaim publicly: That Western education is a sin against Islam. Unfortunately, there are also otherwise well-educated people with a reactionary mindset that fuel this perception among the lower classes, though they send their own children to the best Western-education schools!

In 1988, inhabitants of a village called Alawa in Niger State abandoned their village and fled to a nearby kindred in Kaduna State because the then Military Governor, Col Lawan Gwadabe, introduced compulsory and free Western education up to primary school level. They sneaked in during the day to work their farms and returned to their hideout during the night.

Unless the North is ready to change this harmful cultural practice which breeds al majirai in millions, any effort by the Federal Government to fund “al Majiri education” will end up just like Professor Jibril Aminu’s Nomadic Education: another bonanza for the parasitic elite; a reward for Boko Haram’s murderous and nihilist campaigns in the North.

I am a die hard fan Of President Muhammadu Buhari ,

But conscience is an open wound only the truth can heal it





Gej May have allowed some overzealous people to run the government for him

He may have allowed some miscreants to have a field day

One thing you can take away from him is he over performed more than the current administration in terms of the Almajiri school taking away kids from the streets

On this I doff my hat for you

Your excellency Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

I disagree with the whole concept of almajiri school. Like the proverb says " you can take a horse to the river, but you cannot force the horse to drink". The northerners never said education was their number one priority. Their number one priority is farming and cattle herding. To them Boko is Haram, so primary and secondary education should be left to the state governments. If the state see education as a priority, they should invest more in it. Afterall the FG gives states grants under the universal basic education scheme.

The almajiri school program was ill conceived and poorly executed. How was it supposed to be run and maintained. Was the FG to also run the schools along with the over 100 unity schools? So what happened to the schools after Jonathan left? We're the schools destroyed and the pupils and teachers sent home? I believe the almajiri school thing was just a campaign gimmick.
This was not the first time a similar program was tried. Jubril Aminu came up with the idea of nomadic schools, that too failed woefully.

charliboy654:
That guy is completely right, I did IT in one of Nigeria refinery, all the engineers do is maintenance, when it comes to design they send their specifications to China or German to manufactur.

If we have Nigerian engineers who are competent in maintenance of refineries, why are the refineries always down, and why does the the government give out hundreds of millions of dollars worth of contract to foreign firms for turn around maintenance.

kirchofff:
You don't seem to get my point. All I'm trying to say is that, teaching the real life application can make the students have increased passion for the course. I have a lot of friends who schooled abroad. The difference is clear. How can you teach topic like calculus, projectile etc and the students only know the calculations, but don't know how it can practically solve a real life problem. The OP is 100percent valid.

Gbam.
Nigerian educational system is just cram and pass, and then obtain paper qualification. Most don't even understand how what they crammed apply to real world situation.
Although I studied architecture, I have a very curious mind. I must know how things work. That's why I was never religious. I broke our TV when I was young just to know how TVs work. And I did not stop until I learn R-C oscillator circuits, modulation and demodulation of radio frequency signals, etc.
I have asked a group of graduates to explan the real meaning of sin30 and WHY it is 0.5. Non was able to answer correctly. Everyone knows sin30 is 0.5, but how many graduates and even post graduates know why?

Bachelor's degree in Engineering is really an introduction to Engineering. Real Engineering begin from Masters...Please note that Engineering is theory based worldwide and because Nigeria is messed up already. Everybody is playing the blame game.
I have seen so many Nigerian Electrical Engineers who design Electrical Panels but the problem is the GOVERNMENT.The government has made it to so hard for Engineering to thrive, I bet you we have good Engineers but Nigeria is a problem. other countries in the world are also suffering the same

Still the same excuses. How is the government making it hard for engineering to thrive? You mean, you design and engineering solution to one of the numerous engineering challenge we have in Nigeria and the government banned you?
I had a friend who dropped out of year one from elect/elect department in Ife and started building LED signage. He took his product to Alaba to demonstrate to guys selling such imported items. He started getting orders. I borrowed him money to start business. He did very well and now he is out of the country. This was far back in early 2000s, when Internet was still a novelty in Nigeria.
There are many companies with numerous engineering challenges and nobody to solve them. They have to import engineers from outside Nigeria to help repair and service their industrial equipments.
