Beautiful work of art and beautiful babe makes a stunning combination. I just haf one question: Will this lower the cost of fufu or eba?

It's very disheartening. Only 1 in every 500 is lucky! The exploitation of jobseekers continues. We all know that the lucky 5000 have oga at the top.

I notice igbo don't name their children ojukwu. There must be a reason for that.

Must u comment on everything? How many children answer Awolowo, Balewa or Enahoro? Chukwuemeka is Ojukwu's first name and is trite in Igbo land. Next time, think before you comment.

We thank God for patriots like Ekene Iwuoha who risked their lives to rescue man and materials. I was truly disgusted to see people busy videoing the disaster - raging fire and burning people and materials aflame - with no other intention than to go and post on one social media or the other. Where is humanness gone Methinks it should become an actionable offence to see disaster, be in a position to assist ameliorate it but instead snapping pictures and videoing while lives are lost.

The jailing for what exactly? Asking for separate country - na by force to be Spaniard? Methinks however that Barcelona should not meddle in politics at all. They should shift from Camp Nou to Bernabeu so Messi can prove to critics he can still perform wonders outside camp Nou

All so good, except that our VP seemed to have shrunk in stature and sits too far from Mr. President for comfort. Osibande has been suffered by the mafia. Like for Osibanjo, share for PMB

Quite interesting. I applaud this innovation. It should go to full-scale implementation, coupled with intra-city railway and more flyovers. Lagos traffic is terrible. I almost missed my flight three weeks ago because of traffic along Ikeja axis.

Fela Kuti, a great musical icon that used his music to challenge irresponsible leadership. Today, music in Nigeria is all about pleasure and kowtow. The radical Fela spirit has been abandoned. The like of Fela Kuti, Gani Fawehinmi, etc rescued Nigeria from shackles of military predation. Today, no one is ready to sacrifice their comfort for the general good.

It looks like the season of Mercy. Mercy Eke wins BBN Indecency. Mercy Johnson wins her own. God have mercy. I am waiting for my breakthrough.

Such a very wasteful and unproductive way to rule a country. All these people will sure collect estacode. They will fly in presidential Jet, and will be lodged in first-class hotels at the expense of the task payer. The government that cared so much for Nigerians in SA could not help their evacuation. Hunger is at home. No money to pay minimum wage. Haba. Buhari, na wa.

No amount of hardship should warrant this kind of demonic irresponsibility. Children are a blessing. The like of this irresponsible parent are not supposed to be born not to think of bear children.

The woman mentioned population, but then asked the president to highlight the pathway for our resilient future and he rightfully addressed exactly our pathway to a resilient future.

Why is reading, listening and comprehension so hard for our lazy youths?

smh..

read out your statement again. Does it make sense to you? If it does, you are not on the same page with the same world.

Positive influence is allowed. Gates has been a wonderful billionaire. Dangote should help the masses by lowering Price of cement. That is a way to show us Bill has been a good influence.

The dissolution seems too quick. Did the court consider all the hassles that go into marrying? And they just dissolved it like Salt in water. That husband is mumu if indeed the wife was unfaithful as he alleged. The Lady herself didn't try. After 22 years she suddenly discovered he was a serial womanizer. I give up. Something is fishy.

NwaAmaikpe:




The only reason I turned out perfect in life is because my parents meted out all of the above on me.
They were even ingenious enough to use telephone wires as whip on my back any time I faltered when doing the Almighty pick-pin.

NwaAmaikpe, who said you turned out good?

What a trash. You expect the UN to mention also family problems in Nigeria. The herders intimidation of farmers is the known major cause of violence in Nigeria and you rightly observed that the issue spiked in recent years under the watch of a retired Gen. The president should rein in on his raging kinsmen and avoid ICC trial for genocide. The World is watching.

"...aim at correction of societal values? Or you meant SOCIETAL VICES?"
Oga oloyinbo

my brother, we talk of wrongful value system. It's the bane of Nigeria. A system where wrong is so prevalent it is taken for right. Our values are not only confused and intrinsically defective but also counterproductive. I meant, when we correct our values and begin to see wrong as wrong....For an instance, a yahoo boy fleeces his victim. People deify him. The First scenario is Vice. The second is value based. So, from my perspective, if Yahoo for instance is criminalized by society, Yahoo boys are hated by their peers and treated like parriah by the society, , the crime becomes unattractive.

A very good news and Good step in the right direction. Protests that aim at correction of societal values are germane. We can only get to our desired destination when we begin to see evil and condemn it.

God save Nigeria. No one is safe. This is not only graphic. It is an accusation against mankind. We are below animals now. Animals don't kill except to eat.

The Nigeria police force and indeed the entire armed forces, needs complete overhaul. Something is seriously wrong. This is not getting funny at all. If this one were with a gun one would imagine the scale of casualty.

Wike is finishing his tenure in 2023 and eyeing the presidency. It seems Atiku has been deserted. Something is fishy in the congratulations where his party is heading to Supreme Court.

Well, the Police did well at least for coming to rescue, fuel or no. This kind of insensitivity inure the people against the military. What is the true cause of the rising wave of accidents and bloodshed in the country? Is that natural? The land is deeply polluted!

It would be great if Trump really said this. It seems our PMB is afraid to say something due to the usual accent-heavy prononciations. It is heartwarming though that he was sensitive enough to boycott the World Economic Forum (WEF) in South Africa, Nigeria needs to break diplomatic ties with them!!

Let us see how he performs on the job. Sadly, we only hear of NDDC inaugurations and positions. Their impacts on the Niger DElta is not given same publicity. Even job advertisements and employments are clandestine.

Anambra state is twenty- eight years today.
It was created in August twenty- seven, 1991 by General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida, the then president of Nigeria.

Anambra state since its creation, has lived up to its Sobriquet, light of the Nation witnessed in the remarkable development strides recorded in all parts of the state with a long history of first in Nigeria.

As the eight most populous state in the federation and second most densely populated after Lagos, Anambra has lived up to its billing as a state with immense resources, characterized by people who carry on a most animated business and other relationship with people who come across them.
As Ndi Anambra celebrate, expectations are high that more bonds, and development will spread to all nooks and crannies of the state.

Awka is one of the major cities in Anambra State

I have a little problem with the caption. Anambra was created in 1976. It was in 1991 that Enugu state was carved out and old Anambra had a new capital in Awka as old capital Enugu was lost to Enugu state. It's actually Awka the state capital that is 28.

The entire Armed Forces and not just the Police needed complete overhaul. Those who are meant to protect the citizens are now the greatest threat. Ranging from public molestation to extrajudicial killings and extortions. The story is unending and unacceptable. The Police man here identified needed to be punished accordingly.

Hmm. Spoilt brat. The boyfriend is really lucky she didn't complicate issues. Poor parenting at work. The parents aren't even aware that she left the house from Enugu to Owerri. That is how it's done. If skull miners harvest her now people will blame the devil. The girl needs to be thoroughly disciplined!!

gidgiddy:
Who ever wrote this does not know that IPOB challenged its proscription in court and the case is pending at the appeal court





Yes revolutionaries lay down their lives for a worthy cause, but they dont present themselves to their enemies on a platter of gold to be slaughtered, which is what Nnamdi Kanu would have done if he had relaxed in his house to let an assassination team of Soldiers use him for target practice

They challenged it in court but not HOLISTICALLY. THere is no fire or verve to the court issue. It's not national news. I did not say Kanu should stay in his house to be arrested or shot. I meant he shouldnt have secreted himslef to safe confines. There is limit to what dictators can do with prisoners of conscience. They would NEVER have shot Kanu. Never. That would have been the recipe for balkanization of the country!

In a few months we will know whether they are up to the task or just round pegs in square holes. Aregbe is sure making excuses for fear of failure. I do not trust his managerial competence. He came to Osun with a loud bang, opon imo tablet was born and we thought, hee, here was the answer. Several months and years after, it turned out that everything began and ended with opon imo. Very unpalatable news was leaking into national discourse from his end. Will he and team prove our stereotype wrong now??

EKWEREMADU AND THE IPOB MOB
By Clarius Ugwuoha

It was shocking that the immediate past Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, representing Enugu West in the Nigerian Upper chamber, and who stood stoutly behind the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra in the hey days leading to their proscription, was attacked in far-away Germany by a mob comprising IPOB members. Several reasons have been adduced for this insalubrious and truly appalling treatment that seemed to fly in the face of reason. A closer scrutiny of the scenario raised many pertinent clues.
First, Chief Ike Ekweremadu wore a brocade embroidered with the Nigerian coat of arms. This was a crime of immense dimension that signposted betrayal of and insensitivity to the cause of the intolerant IPOB. The fire-spitting group did not like the lip-service support of Igbo leaders in power. The top Senator’s outfit suggested complete apathy to the raging zeal of the separatist group. It was not a surprise that it was the first target of the angry mob.
Secondly, there have been increasing cases of Fulani herdsmen menace in the Eastern part of Nigeria, with Enugu as hotbed. Senator Ekweremadu was perceived as taciturn and not truly condemning the invasion or raising appropriate legislative concerns to curb the menace. More irksome to IPOB was the proscription of an unarmed group seeking self-determination peacefully, while armed herdsmen that roamed the countryside killing and raping and maiming, were termed hoodlums. There was no legislative effort or collective outcry by Igbo leaders to press for their interdiction or to fight for the cause of IPOB beyond the release from detention of Nnamdi Kanu.
It is understood too that while IPOB was strictly for separatism, the political leaders of the East including Ohaneze Ndigbo were perceived to be only concerned with a Nigerian Presidency of Igbo extraction. IPOB believed that the only way out for an emancipated Igbo nation was a Biafra, citing the perennial marginalization of the zone which had worsened in the present dispensation. While some Regions had Seven and six states respectively, only the East had just five states. That lopsidedness affected all levels of representation which all were skewed against the East, including number of local governments, house of Representatives and Senate seats. They were of the view that an Igbo President in the circumstances would be unable to impact the zone owing to various political straitjackets. Ohaneze and other Igbo leaders differed. That ideological divergence was the root cause of the face-off and tirades between IPOB and the political leaders of the East.
The Ekweremadu attack was therefore, on the face of it, not personal but directed at all leaders of Eastern extraction who had only paid superficial consideration to the increasing challenges of their people in a deeply divisive and stratified Nigerian nation. They yearn for support for the cause of Biafra by political leaders of the East.
The Diaspora IPOB mob may sound self-righteous. But they should know that it is far easier to point a finger than to effect correction. What are they doing in the safe confines of Germany? Would their dream Biafra be created there? The Arab spring revolution did not depend on leaders of the country. It was a mass action that originated from commoners with verve, nerve and conviction. Attacking Ekweremadu is cheap escapism. The Germany crowd ought to come back to their country, risk their lives for the emancipation of their people and find appropriate pressure groups within the confines of Nigerian laws for an enabling environment for a realization of the Biafra of their dreams.
Why did IPOB retreat to safe confines upon proscription without holistically challenging the high-handedness through the country’s jurisprudence? Nnamdi Kanu was spirited out of the country to live to fight another day. That appeared a wise decision. But it should be understood that revolutionaries most of the time just lay down their life for a worthy cause and never live to reap from the struggle. Like Martin Luther King jnr, Malcolm X, Roser Parks and other Black Rights Activists in the United States who paved the way for a Barrack Obama to take centre stage as first US Black President.
For Senator Ike Ekweremadu and other political leaders, it is time for sober reflection. The attack had negative and positive connotations. The citizens are becoming more and more intolerant of ambiguous representation. They want leaders that can feel the pulse of their people at all times not merely during electoral periods. It is time for effective grassroots representation and not for beefing up security and hiking of security votes.

So funny. Why not say the truth - it's for the mum of the girl. By the time the girl turns 18 and legal to drive the car, it would have been consigned to the duckyard.

shut up.
You know nothing

Nairaland is impersonal. But that is not the reason to insult your elders. If you don't agree with my post, you shift out. Thanks
