HEAVEN4444: that portion of the lucky people is just too negligible to even consider lol. oh you are still there ? hehe. Yeah we are all built different as in me i dont see stability there. there all i see is prison. in chicago i still owe thousnds of dollars in parking tickets and in england one time i bought a car, the same day i bought the car i had not had time to buy road tax on the car, i parked it on the street hoping the next day i will go and do the road tax. oh boy when i wake up the car had been clamped. they left there number for me to call. i called they said i parked my car on the street without road tax. they said i have 2 days to pay it or they will come and tow the car and crush it in their depot if it is a car older than 10 years. to release the clamp from my car i paid 200 pounds ( 140,000 naira ). whats my point ? i see prison there. everything is so regimented. there are no freedoms. BUT TO EACH HIS OWN. i feel more free in naija. i remember in chiccago i used to get 50 dollar tickets almost everyday. cameras everywhere. just doing a right turn when the red light is on while it is legal but you must first stop before doing the right turn. if you do not stop and you do the right turn ? thats 50 dollar tickets. so they have all kinds of tickets for minor technicalities like that. at any single month i am in traffic court fighting over 20 tickets. there is no freedom in these western countries. in naija i dont have to deal with these types of restrictions and prison like conditions
Smile4mee01: Most Nigerians youth would fancy traveling abroad to better their lives, which is not a bad thing. In fact, some people's lives have changed for the better only because they traveled out of Nigeria.
However, this thread is about those who chose to return home for reasons such as 1. Inability to get legal papers to continue to reside there. 2. Personal choice 3. Better Job offers And by Abroad, I mean developed “1st world countries “like USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany etc
As a Nigerian in Diaspora myself, one of my good friends (We both in our 30s’) who is Ghanaian is ready to go back to his country. He has been very frugal here saving over $100,000 cash/yr for the past 3 yrs. He says he has dedicated 3yrs of his life to working so he can set himself up for life. He worked as a health care support worker, taking care of the disabled and aged ppl, a job many people will consider dirty. His plan includes buying affordable rental real estate that can generate passive income. And retire at age 50. He is also good with stock trading and does that to generate some money on the side, something he can do anywhere in the world. He has plans to also go into politics as he feels he can impact his hometown.
Some of his concerns include: 1. Inclusion: Despite how well-spoken and intelligent he is, he never feels like he belongs here especially when he is being racially profiled. 2. Women are Powerful here. I have known this guy for a while and he is a decent Christian, but by marrying her he could lose everything he has worked for if things go south. The government does not want to know who is right or wrong oo, they would cut your assets and leave you to pay child support. 3. Loss of culture: He fears when he has kids, his children will lose a sense of their culture and tradition 4. Old age: Old age here can be scary too, especially when you grew up in Africa where we have a family-orientated family structure. When you are old here and can't support yourself. Families dump their aged parents in aged care facilities. Not the fault of the kids but it's how the system is run.
Anyway, I was wondering why don’t Nigerian’s dream the same dream. Some Nigerians turn out to be very successful abroad, but many are just living paycheck to paycheck and would be better off returning home where the money has much more value. 1USD = N505. Or is Nigeria so bad, that opportunities don’t lie in it? Remember the Indians, Chinese come here to take advantage.
I must give credit to Nigerians. We dey Hustle. God. Nigerians dey try.
It was when I met a 40yr old oyinbo that has retired that I started thinking deep that there is more to life than working working working. Haven said all these, I know my country and the many issues we have. Security, healthcare, family or village people, etc. but Still, Are many Nigerians not better off going back home with all they have saved Abroad. Let's not forget, Banky W, Tinubu, Tiwa savage, Some Top Bank executives, and corporate ppl all returned home. Had they remained abroad, they could still have been just ok but maybe not as successful. So this takes me back to the question
Gjrich: A Proud American Woman With Two Husbands And Three Children Is Causing A Stir Online.
“Sign of the end times” —Proud American woman with two husbands causes stir online An American woman, Passion Jones has caused a ruckus online after she showed off her two husbands and the sons she has with each of them in a family portrait for Thanksgiving.
The woman is quite famous on social media and is on Instagram as passionjonesz12 where she is an influencer for many brands.
She is an advocate of Polyamory and her marriage to both husbands is a testament to this.
The 31-year-old woman got married at 20 to her first husband and only began her polyamorous relationship when she was 30 years old.
“Sign of the end times” —Proud American woman with two husbands causes stir online The American woman and her two husbands. She confessed in the Podcast they do together as a Polyamorous couple that she had no idea she would ever want to get married to two men but now she loves it.
Her first husband with whom she has two children together claims he was not forced to do it neither is he jealous as he enjoys the experience.
Her second and most recent husband whom she just had a baby is quite young and very comfortable with the marriage.
The husbands say they take turns in getting her pregnant, that way, they know who the father of the child is.
Whoa!
I can NEVER share my woman with another man like these three are doing... With me, a woman has to get gone first if she wants to leave because I can't wrap this kind of relationship concept round my head!
It just goes to show that the first husband had started losing interest and getting bored in the now 31-year-old lady before he accepted that kind of 3-some relationship... But then again, it's their choice.
BRATISLAVA: 2010 is a long time for that to have happened last. )) Unless the discrimination is that bad?
I mean where in the news—not Paralympians in foreign countries where there are pans—in Nigeria does this happen? These Nigerian men getting married look to have been born that way. Where are the Nigerian women who look like them who are getting married?
If I get you correctly from your last paragraph, are you implying that able-bodied women getting married to physically challenged men isn't common in Nigeria or worldwide?
I'd say that subconsciously, most folks worldwide gravitate towards their own kind in terms of looks, ethnicity, culture, education, etc, so it isn't strange that able-bodied men and women fall in love with one another first, and then physically challenged men and women do the same to one another.
But, there are rare moments when there's physical attraction and an able-bodied man/woman gets married to a physically challenged man/ woman.
BRATISLAVA: Where are the vice versa cases, please?
Okay @Bratislava, here we go.
Able-bodied men have also married physically challenged women. I remember back in Nigeria in the 2010s, a guy and a young woman were dating, then the woman had a horrendous car crash and developed spinal injury which led to the loss of usage of her lower limbs. In the final analysis, the handsome guy still went ahead and formerly got married to her because he was truly in love with her and they have kids now.
Second, there are a couple of female ParaOlympic Games medalists with lower body paralysis due to childhood polio who are married to men who are NOT physically challenged. You can do some Googling on these specifics as well.
"I don't know whether to continue with the marriage or not. I exchanged his DNA results."
During a TV3 "Confessions" segment with Miss Nancy, a Ghanaian woman confessed to altering DNA results to break up a marriage, leading to her subsequent marriage to the man
The lady, who worked in a hospital, admitted to swapping DNA results to falsely indicate that the children were not biologically related to the man, resulting in the divorce of the man and his ex-wife
Now grappling with guilt, the lady faces an internal struggle between her husband's happiness and the unintended consequences of her deceitful actions, including the news of the ex-wife's tragic demise
This is why a second or third opinion are required when dealing with medical issues.
We4all: I'm more concerned about the lady in question who is pregnant and already living with you. Does it mean she's got no plans for her life and wants to end up as a baby mama? What about her family and what's their take on this?
As for you, I think you are still bruised and needs healing. If the said lady is going to be just a baby mama, then why did you allow her move in with you? I think it's better to define your relationship early so she can know her place.
As for the mutual respect you think you have for each other- This is more like a lack of connection between both of you and not respect per say. It is how two strangers living together feel toward each other.
Unfortunately, this isn't a healthy relationship for someone who is carrying your baby and already living with you.
Word! Your submissions here are the best and exactly what I wanted to type. "Great minds think alike!"
He's a handsome dude. There's NOTHING wrong in meeting a woman online. The online method of meeting a potential partner is meant to remove the inefficiencies that come with meeting a large pool of men and women of all age ranges. Therefore online strategies are meant to complement offline strategies of meeting folks who desire a long-term romantic relationship.
In the final submission, all women want men they can respect and who have confidence in the face of any challenges. Period.
Samantha124: I deliberately asked you just to see your reaction...
But anyways, SA is fine... How about Nigeria? Or are you even in Nigeria? Because with the way you guys travel, you could be in North Korea right now...
That's splendid to know about your day in SA! You must be at work right now (after lunch)... Mzanzi local time.
I like the way you laugh (with the emoticons)... From here on out, I'll call you "giggles."
I haven't been there in a while... But I move back and forth on international travels. North Korea?! "No way babe!" Lol. You won't find me or even my shadow(s) in that communist country ruled by the brutal man-child dictator. There's a lot of news censorships there with the intent to hide the negative goings-on. On the other hand, the law abiding, technologically advanced South Korea would always be a far better place to visit for leisure travel anytime.
I'll quote you on another thread later. Take care.
opamoses1: They should be hiring lawyers and getting court orders instead of offering 50 million naira bribes. A lawyer would only charge 1/5th of that amount, but guess what, they know they have no case.
Indeed.
These illegal house owners at Abule Ado are themselves very notorious for cutting corners (based on the further bribes they offered)... And the disregard of the Federal order to stop building on the swampland is a criminal offence.
Obidientsgirl: A Nigerian national living in Pretoria, South Africa was shot dead at Laudium lastnight 24/11/2023 in an apparent hit. Reports gathered says it could be drug related.
fergie001: The Prime Minister was accompanied by Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman, Chief of Staff Tzachi Hanegbi, the Prime Minister's military secretary Colonel Avi Gil and Deputy Chief of Staff Colonel Amir Baram.
Bibi as he is fondly called, visited some of the tunnels dug by Hamas, and also got security briefing from the IDF troops on ground.
This comes at the behest of a four-day pause on both sides that expires on Monday. Netanyahu is the first Israeli Head of State to visit Gaza in two decades.
These are the unintended consequences that stem from the kind of vicious criminal attacks by Hamas (As seen in CCTVs, car dashboard cameras, mobile phones, etc) in Southern Israel which that took place on October 7, 2023.
Now most of the over 500 kilometers-long tunnels have been destroyed or rendered useless and the Gaza population displaced due to the savagery of the apocalyptic Hamas. This is why it is always good to cut your losses and run.
Many countries of the world such as Germany, Japan, Italy, etc, once fought and lost major wars but are now major allies of their formers WW1 and WW2 enemies. There must be NO permanent enemies, ONLY permanent interests. Those who understand that maxim are the ones surviving economically and politically today. Period.
As the whole world has turned its attention to the conflict between Israel and Palestine and the events in Ukraine have faded into the background, nearly everyone has forgotten about another region that is permanently unstable and immersed in conflicts and crises – Africa.
Over the past several years, there have been a series of coups in Africa – precisely, eight coups in three years. The last one occurred in Gabon. At the time, the media discussed Africa’s anger at colonialist France and the pro-French governments that toppled like dominoes. For Paris, that was a real disaster, since African countries had only formally escaped from under its ‘wing’ and were still subordinated to France politically and economically. Moreover, Africa is rich in minerals, oil, gas, gold, and other resources. For example, Niger supplies about 15% of France's uranium needs.
We will find out why Africans have such a hostile attitude towards France and how this confrontation may end.
Occupied Niger French colonialism in Niger began with the infamous and brutal military campaign to expand control over West Africa in 1899 (the so-called Central African-Chad Mission). The local population fiercely resisted the invaders, headed by captains Paul Voulet and Charles-Paul-Louis Chanoine (also known as Julien Chanoine). However, the forces of the two sides were unequal.
After leaving Dakar, the Voulet-Chanoine Mission was supposed to explore Chad and Niger and unite the French territories. Voulet had previously demonstrated sadistic tendencies in Burkina Faso, and his associate Chanoine was not any better. Moreover, Chanoine was the son of the powerful general and Minister of War Jules Chanoine, a fact that untied the mission’s hands.
The atrocities committed by the French in Niger could have never come to light, if one of the junior officers, Lieutenant Louis Péteau, had not described them in a letter to his fiancée. In the 15-page letter, he wrote how porters who were too weak from dysentery were beheaded and replaced by enslaved locals. Voulet ordered the severed heads to be placed on stakes in order to scare the inhabitants of the surrounding villages. The letter contains many details of war crimes committed by French soldiers. It was eventually made public and provoked a major scandal.
This did not stop the mission, however, and in 1922, after a severe drought and famine, the French established control over the territory.
France was primarily interested in Niger’s natural resources. Despite the fact that the country’s economy largely depended on agriculture and animal husbandry, the world's largest uranium deposits were later discovered there. France seized hold of these resources.
In 1960, Niger was formally liberated. However, even after the 1960s, all the officers of Niger's army were Frenchmen with French-Nigerian dual-citizenship. As of 1960, there were only ten African officers in the Armed Forces of Niger, all of low rank.
Paris would continue to exploit Niger’s rich resources for many years. Most recently, Niamey criticized the agreement with France and demanded a fairer share of the profits from the extraction of uranium ore.
Africa soaked in blood A few years ago, the adviser to Algerian President Abdelmadjid Cheikhi said that after the massacre staged by the French in Algeria, the bones of the Algerians were taken out of the country and used to make soap and for sugar filtration. Cheikhi stressed that his country had become “a real field of experiments for the brutal practices that France later applied in other colonies.” He added that today Paris attempts to hide the crimes by destroying historical archives.
Some tragedies, however, could not be hidden, since they were witnessed by tens and even hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom are still alive. Here are just a few chilling episodes from France's colonial past. Burning everything in its path The French, who are so proud of their elegant cultural heritage and Enlightenment values, were actually capable of savage atrocities against those who were not part of their culture, particularly colonized peoples. The cruelty of the French knew no bounds. They were involved in murder, rape, the plundering of African wealth, and the use of slave labor in the Central African Republic, Chad, and the Republic of the Congo. [/b]All these events happened in recent history and were recorded in archives, but no one has been held accountable so far.
There has been no justice in the case of the Thiaroye massacre, when on the outskirts of Dakar French forces shot West African veterans who had once defended France in cold blood. Likewise, no one was held responsible for the Rwandan genocide, nor for France's nuclear experiments in Algeria. In February 1960, France tested its first atomic bomb, exposing over 24,000 people to radiation. It is difficult to imagine the real losses caused by the resulting pollution since today we do not know the locations of all the test sites and areas of disposal of nuclear waste. But it's safe to say that the French don't care about this.
[b]An uprising soaked in blood The people of Madagascar also have many painful memories. The French army subjected them to severe repressions simply because they wished to be independent– and this despite the fact that at the time, France itself had just been liberated from Nazi occupation. Tens of thousands of Malagasy people were tortured and killed during the Franco-Malagasy Wars and in their aftermath. There were even cases when people were thrown out of airplanes.
In 1946, the Democratic Movement for Malagasy Rejuvenation (abbreviated MDRM in French) was founded in Madagascar. It wanted to put an end to the inhumane treatment of people and advocated political equality, prosperity, and independence. But less than a year after the party was formed, France intervened. On May 5, 1947, a massacre happened in Moramanga – a city that had become the epicenter of the Madagascar uprising against colonial rule. At midnight, French officers gave the order to attack three passenger train cars with MDRM members inside. The train cars were fired upon using a machine gun. Most of the people inside were killed, and those who survived were executed without a trial shortly afterward. This event became a symbol of French repression in Madagascar.
The forgotten genocide The fate of the Bamileke people of Cameroon is sometimes compared to the fate of the Jewish people during the Holocaust. It is not known exactly how many were killed – the numbers vary from 100,000 to 500,000 people. Some even say there were a million victims. In any case, this was a real genocide staged by the French under the leadership of the anti-communists Charles de Gaulle and Jacques Foccart, in their fight against the Union of Populations of Cameroon (UPC) – a liberation movement founded in April 1948.
We find an eyewitness account of those horrible events online. Jeannette was just a little girl when her country became flooded with blood and tears:
“In the evening, the military convoys come back filled with heads that are dumped and exposed at the crossroads that will become the crossroads of the maquisards, until my departure from Cameroon, in 1976, and even perhaps until today. It is in the heart of Bafoussam, about thirty meters from the house of my parents that all this is exposed. This is also where the executions take place. After a certain pause, because of the famine and in the absence of any help, the populations returned to the kingdoms without homes and without cultures. Others went to camps created by the occupier, without water, without access to the wood, and terrorized by the military."
“Some, especially the occupier himself, have dared to advance the figure of 400,000 dead. Over what period? Are dead people in the Mungo area counted? Many died there. Others were tattooed and sent back to the West, where massacres and crowding in the camps were raging.
“After the war, the region was almost empty…”
Hell on Earth Doubtlessly one of the most terrible genocides in world history was the Rwandan genocide, which claimed the lives of over 800,000 Tutsis in 100 days (other sources claim there were over a million victims).
France also carries the burden of this crime on its conscience. Numerous human rights organizations and historians (basing their assumption on documents) claim that France armed the Hutu government. Moreover, these events happened in light of Operation Turquoise, launched by France on June 23, 1994 in order to supposedly stop the mass killings of people. Instead, France secretly helped the participants of the genocide to flee.
Renowned French historian Vincent Duclert, who was commissioned by President Macron to prepare a report on the Rwandan genocide, concluded that Paris was responsible for what happened, at least in terms of ignoring the racist nature and brutality of the Hutu regime.
“Françafrique”: The illusion of freedom The UN proclaimed 1960 the “Year of Africa”: 17 African nations gained independence that year – but only on paper.
France didn’t take leave of Africa without making sure that it could continue to exploit the resources of its former colonies, and continue to dominate them – even if from now on, that would happen behind the scenes.
In his memoirs, Charles de Gaulle wrote that France brought civilization to Africa, helped it build nation states and educated the elites, teaching them to act based on principles of human rights and freedoms (and, of course, French interests). At the same time, the founder of the Fifth Republic wrote that Paris was supposed to become a “specially privileged partner” for Africans. In other words, the colonizers wanted to take leave of Africa but preserve their influence over it. This is probably what de Gaulle meant by “privileged partnership.”
This is how the “Françafrique” [“French Africa”] concept was born – a system of special ties between Paris and its former colonies, developed by Jacques Foccart. Informal ‘guardianship’ of Africa through the Françafrique system guaranteed France political, economic, and military control over the region and, as a result, uninterrupted access to its natural resources – whether it was oil from Gabon, uranium from Niger, or cocoa from the Ivory Coast.
Making use of the economic whip and corruption, Foccart appointed his own people to high-ranking positions – these were the ‘elite’ raised by the French, which de Gaulle mentioned in his memoirs. If something went wrong, the French resorted to contract killing, terror, blackmail, intrigue, and bribery. When that did not help, France used its special services to eliminate high-profile politicians and even organize military rebellions. This is what the legendary French mercenary Bob Denard spoke about.
“One way or another, there was always some kind of interaction with the special services. Sometimes, Monsieur Foccart acted as a link. To involve the army in this or that operation, a lot of preliminary preparation was required. But my squad was light and mobile and could carry out the same mission using small forces,” Denard said.
Finally, in those cases when the efforts of mercenaries and the intrigues of special services failed, France conducted direct military interventions, meddling in the affairs of the “free” African nations. To this end, Paris had and still has military bases in Senegal, Djibouti, Gabon, and on the Ivory Coast. Until 2008, eight African countries had active agreements with France which allowed the latter to legally invade their territory and “restore order.”
Modern colonialism On July 31, 2022, the government of Mali demanded that French President Emmanuel Macron abandon the principles of neocolonialism – above all, with regard to economic control over the continent.
Experts around the world have long discussed the CFA franc, which was introduced in December 1945. At the time, the abbreviation CFA stood for “French African colonies” (Colonies Françaises d'Afrique). By the 1960s, it meant “African Financial Community" (Communauté Financière Africaine). Today, the CFA franc is pegged to the euro, but until recently it was dependent on the exchange rate of the French franc. Moreover, the member countries of the zone where the CFA franc is in use are required to keep half of their monetary and gold reserves in the Treasury of France.
The CFA franc makes it possible for Paris to buy up Africa’s natural resources at extremely low prices. And considering the Françafrique system, local elites often derive benefits from the economic intervention of France.
Paris is almost impossible to push away, since it is a major investor in the region. In 2020, for example, French foreign direct investments (FDI) in Cote d'Ivoire topped $500 million. It is just one example - other such countries include Tunisia, Morocco, etc. The French industrial sector in West Africa is also quite influential. For example, TotalEnergies accounts for 17 percent of the African oil market and is the leading distributor of petroleum products in Africa.
For Paris, the African continent has become a giant market for selling overpriced goods – despite the fact that France itself was indignant when the US took advantage of the political situation and sold it gas at exorbitant prices. In contrast, goods from the former French colonies are sold cheaply.
This system is called neocolonialism, and this is exactly what Africa is rebelling against.
In conclusion France continued to devour Africa in the decades after de Gaulle. Each of the eight subsequent presidents contributed to the disintegration of the African continent. Of course, African leaders, who saw France as a natural guarantor of their personal security, were also responsible for the situation. Africa gifted its patrons, bowed before them, and coordinated every step with the Élysée Palace. But this didn't help. The fate of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi is a good example – and this is the man who financed the election campaign of Nicolas Sarkozy.
The political processes happening in Niger today are not a color revolution or a nonconformist riot backed by an external force. These processes are a result of wounds and sorrows accumulated over many decades. There is a chance that Niger may help other African countries move towards real liberation, particularly now that France has encountered major competitors in Africa in the face of China and Russia. But in fact, these developments have only accelerated inevitable changes.

There's an error in the article which portrays Rwanda as a former French colony. However, Rwanda was a former Belgian colony.
In any event it's more of a triggered revolt in the low-income earning former French African colonies and countries such as Mali, Niger, etc, due to the global economic downturn since COVID-19.
Other former French African colonies that have higher natural resources like Cote d'Ivoire, Tunisia, and Morocco still maintain cordial ties with France despite a sad colonial past in countries like Madagascar.
Draslo: This is not for me. My sister na church worker
My guy's sister is nothing you write home about. Their father has money, like 3 Rolls-Royce parked in the compound type of rich but the girl is very promiscuous. Many big boys on the island have had a fling because she must attend every raving bash. Her SM pages are full of filth in different countries. You'd easily call her online olosho sponsored by politicians. Her friends are worse cos they don't come from that kind of money. This girl is just 23 and already a red flag amongst guys. Even guys that have never seen her unclothedness will claim to have slept with her and people will believe as long as the guy has class.
My guy is getting married in January and doesn't want his only sister there. Can she still be saved?
She could be going through some emotional pains which made her to start jumping from one guy to another. She and her father may not have been close, so she seeks for a father figure. Regardless, at just 23 years of age, she has assumed a great deal of notoriety among the young men around her so that cannot be undone.
I suggest that she be taken to a psycotherapist or for psychoanalysis to enable her to reveal her inner most pains that led her into a life of promiscuity.
Matinox: This evening I took a reflection on what my wife has gone through in our small marital journey, my heart swirled up with gratitude, I felt like to call my mum and tell her thank you again.
Women are built different!
I just had a baby, I was in the labour room and boy o boy! The female body is a work of art!
I considered the pains they go through... My wife for instance, after marriage, sex was a huge desert to cross, it was her first time, she would cry countless times, by the time we crossed that hurdle, she took in, pregnancy came with its own shenanigans!
This thread isn't about my wife, but to all honest women out there, God bless your efforts.
First sex - Pain Pregnant - Pain Delivery - Pain First Breast feeding - Intense pain Resume sex after child birth - Pain Wean your baby - Pain
Life for you all is like an art gallery, you all fit into many descriptions. God bless you all.
Jcomtrader: You are very silly Are there not kano indigenes doing gateman all over nigeria. Are there not yoruba people begging all over Ibadan. What are their govts doing with their money?
Whats with this househelp stereotypes Its better to be good cooks and cleaners that thieves and beggars
I have to step in so you don't perpetuate misleading information and hate speech...
Cut the B.S. and quite the sensationalism here.
Yorubas are not begging all over Ibadan. The People whose photos you may have seen online or offline are migrants from other states especially from the Far Northern states (even non-Nigerians) who have moved to other parts of Nigeria due to banditry and the Islamist insurgency. That you may have seen beggars on the streets of Ibadan doesn't mean they are of Yoruba descent. The open nature of migration in Nigeria is what has led to all kinds of abuses in interstate movements of people. Period.
I went through your post to get a sense of who you are and discovered that you are from Abia State based on the thread you created on Aba, and I saw where you were taunting Yoruba folks, the South West,and downgrading Lagos State on that same thread. Be wise, otherwise you will be called out further over your dishonesty and ethnic bigotry.
seunmsg: Ada Anambra’s only crime was not supporting Labour Party. Now, let that sink in. In south east Nigeria, it’s a crime not to support Peter Obi and Labour Party. If they can do this to an Igbo lady, imagine what they will do to a Yoruba person living in the south east who is a supporter of APC? That’s how bigoted those folks her.
In a democracy people should have freedom of choice but not in south east Nigeria. Intolerance and bigotry like this is what others see that make them take extreme measures to protect their region every election cycle. Hopefully, the “I’m Yoruba but” crew are watching. Labour Party and Peter Obi are Igbo power grab agenda and nothing else.
Anyway, the rest of Nigeria are watching and learning. We will respond appropriately at the right time.
naptu2: The Alaigbo Youth Forum has planned to host an Alaigbo Youth Summit in December, but the list of panellists at the event has caused controversy. Some people have objected to the presence of APC supporters at the event. They claim that these APC supporters denigrated Igbos.
Miss Chidimma Makuachukwu (Ada Anambra) is an APC supporter that was invited to speak at the event. She is the National Program Manager of the Renewed Hope Shelter for the Poor, Refugees and IDPs. Some people objected to her presence at the event and the organisers were forced to withdraw the invitation that was extended to her.
Blessing Onwumere is a former student union activist and PDP politician. She is also a supporter of Governor Hope Uzodimma. Some people have also objected to her presence at the event.
Ada Anambra wrote this after her invitation was withdrawn.
Ada Anambra @AdaAnambra2023
I'm a proud Igbo young Lady who loves her region and desires the best for her people which many have witnessed. All I have done and will continue to do is to reject what is wrong.
I might be objective and raw with my opinions but that doesn’t mean I denigrate my people; I can… pic.twitter.com/UjddnQ2VPI
aestake: The houses Yorubas get for UK, Canada, and USA etc go to who? People get investment everywhere...lazy bone! Na Jakanda first call am no-man's land and it's rightly so... Nigerian resources were ploughed there. Metropolitan States are for everyone to live, govern etc.
Jaja Wachuku was the first Ibo person in 1947 to publicly refer to the then administrative capital of Nigeria which was Lagos Island (NOT Lagos State) as a no-man's-land. In 1953 the Ibos in NCNC repeated the same ridiculous claim again.
Alhaji Lateef Jakande NEVER refered to the state he governed by that ignorant propaganda allegations you Ibos are pushing around! That's sheer dishonesty of the highest order to tell lies that it was former Governor Abdulateef Jakande of Lagos State that originally made that comment. I was alive when he first became the Governor of Lagos State along with the Deputy Governor Alhaji Jafojo, and he was a very upright man who had a sense of purpose.
The title of this NL thread is criminally misleading.
The land on which some of those illegally built houses are built is located at Abule Ado near Festac Town where a major gas pipeline explosion took place 3 years ago in March 2020. Many of the houses were subsequently marked for demolition for building near a major gas pipeline.
The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) clearly owns the land and NOT Lagos State, so Lagos State Government is NOT demolishing any houses but it the Federal Agency called FHA that's doing that.
Enough of the highly irritatingly propaganda and fake news being spread by some Ibos online meant to whip up sentiments and victimhood. On a good day, the owners of these houses have committed a major crime by encroaching on Federal land and they can go to jail for not heeding the advice of FHA to stop the land encroachments and construction works.
