The Group under the auspices of Conscience of the Ebonyi people frowned at the cement roads built by the minister just under a year as minister.
The group spokesperson, Oleka chike has called on the federal government to come to the aid of the people in Ebonyi state as the roads are becoming a nightmare for Travellers and commuters.
Oleka warned that , the minister has refused to listen to the people of the state to build quality roads instead of using cements that are not durable .
I gave birth 9 months ago and for some reason, my mom never expressed interest in visiting me and my child. She is a new wife now and I heard from some family members that when she wanted to come, her new husband said ‘your daughter has other people around, why are you worrying yourself’.
I did not take it personally at all. My mother has never been a dependable person. Me and my mom still talk everyday and my child is always on her status. This is her ONLY grandchild.
My mom’s elder sister’s (my aunty) youngest child is moving to my area. My aunty said that she’ll visit me during the move, and come and hold baby. She reached out to my mom and even told my mom that if they plan it, they can visit me together. My mom and my aunty are VERY close. I even consider my aunty my second mom in a way.
Suddenly, my mom starts calling me, saying she wants to plan her visit. I say okay. But with work and everything, my aunty will get here before her. She started telling me not to let my aunty into my house, saying that my aunty is a husband snatcher etc. she said my aunty will destroy my home. I tell her I don’t care about that. She started calling their mutual friends and telling them to tell me that my aunty is a husband snatcher. I did not fall for that.
Frustrated, she called my aunty and said that the truth is that my husband is uncomfortable. She said that MY husband is not from our town and that my husband’s people don’t like visitors. She said that I did not tell her about this out of respect.
My aunty called me and was apologizing, saying that she did not know. I responded and said that this is a lie. I even put my husband on the phone. Here’s my mistake - I sent her a screenshot showing my mom saying that she’s a husband snatcher and that’s why I should not let her into my home.
My aunty and I now agreed that we should let peace reign and that she won’t visit. She said she will still like to see me and we can meet somewhere. MATTER SUPPOSE TO END.
My mom decided to bring my aunty husband into this. She told my auntys husband that his wife is not respecting my husband’s wishes. My auntys husband now sent her my screenshot saying that he knows the real reason and that your child doesn’t even support you.
The screenshot has shattered my mom. She feels betrayed. My siblings who live with my mother are calling me a betrayer. I want to salvage the relationship between my siblings and I, not so much my mother. I have not spoken to any of them since the screenshot.
What do I do? How do I approach this.
Your anger has led you this far........ family destroyer.

Jagaban of Nigeria.......Okanlomo of Grassroots Politics in Nigeria
Tonero5200: No matter how useless a man is, once he dies the household of the family strength changes. It might not be financially rather emotionally and physically.
Here are my reasons
My dad is a man who drinks alot to the extend we the children are embarrassed for him because we can't go to functions he goes to... because as he goes, he comes back in a different way.
So we do everything possible to avoid where he is at, but on some occasions we cant..depends on how close the celebrant is. Then we bore it in mind that that day we might get to hear something that offends us.. the shame and embarrassment and might retaliate or ignore.
Being one of the senior men alive, they always come to pay homage everytime despite being the way he is..to settle dispute and to also pray for them.. and also tell them about history how we related and mention names of our forefathers, tracing back their Roots step by step..he knows all..because his father also told him. so they respect him for that as an elderly man even though dry gin is his best friend. all they can do was to talk and laugh behind his back. When he's sober they dare not make jest of him. I repeat they dare not.
But now he's been dead about 4years ago and I tell you we that normally get the first invitation of marriage ceremony or any functions happening in the extended family no longer gets invited.
Nobody has come in to ask hwfar from us the children since he was buried. They see us as not important since the elderly man is no more.
Our family house that used to trooped in by different new faces almost every week don't see it no more
I am not talking about money here, I am good... But even if I don't have...my elder brother who is a graduate the back bone is there...but I am just stating the obvious fact...
THAT everybody has use no matter how useless you perceive them to be and one day you might get to realise that.
The thing is that during those period we don't even take it as anything. Instead we the children gets angry whenever they comes to inform him for a function because we know that week we will not sleep at night...but as it has its advantages so those it has it disadvantages.
Ol boy, your old man is gone forever and he is not coming back.
You better face your future and keep dearly the history your Dad passed to you while he was alive.
Another elder is in town, mark my words, your own time will come as an elder.
But for now ......face your future, contribute your own quota to family and community bonding.
The level of freedom we enjoy in Nigeria is far far better than most countries is Africa, Asia and South America.
In Nigeria, the South West is in the forefront unlike the lawlessness in the North and South East.......those guys are all beasts, out there killing each other.
gidgiddy: It is a general belief amongst most Igbo the progenitor of the Igbo race was a man called "Eri" who founded the Iduu Eri Kingdom in Nri, present day Anambra, from where all Igbo come from. It is also believed that Eri himself was a member of one the 12 tribes of Israel.
The King of Nri, the Eze Eri, HRM Eze Chukwuemeka Eri, is the " Aka Ji ofor Igbo", which makes him the sacred custodian of Igbo culture.
Eze Chukwuemeka Eri regularly wears Jewish apparel and the Star of David, his entire cabinet of chiefs wear the same.
Wether the Igbo nation has its roots in Israel or not is left for the experts to decide, however, most Igbos, despite being Christians, see Israel as their spiritual capital, and their support for the state of Israel is unflinching.
