This zfancy guy is supposed to be among the biggest skitmaker in this country. After mark angel, this guy should come next. I really don't understand all these noise about ritual thing

Is Zfancy really that popular? Honestly, I never heard of him until this incident.

Be like say I don dey old o

Nairaland moderators should stop posting certain threads to the front page. Be like say Seun loves the subtle miss ogini his forum promotes.

Olachase:
Thank God for those white way con save our life

Where we for day today

Well, some South Africans on this forum say that Whites didn't do anything. They said blacks invented kini kon kini kon. My question is: what invention by a black person is the world using today?

See face

😂. Intrude in my abode and hope to live to tell the story . German shepherd will make a human bbq out of you

You will never find me in someone's house where there's a dog. However, I will do anything possible to kill a dog who attacks passers-by in public.

9JAMac10:
facts when I relocate to naija I am getting multiple German shepherd/ Rottweiler guard dogs for my abode. Dogs remain Mans best friend

Should those dogs attack innocent passers-by in public, anything you see, take it like that.

mecuries:
The whites don't mix breeds, different breeds have different characteristics and they've studied and understood all. Cross breeding is an African/Nigerian thing, that's why we have lots of confused breeds

So na black people crossbred boerboel abi? Whites are the champions of crossbreeding dogs.

Akalia:
I own a 3 year old boerboel mix. Before the tinubulation era I fed my dog either premium dog kibbles and wet can food or sometimes well homemade food as I could afford those at the time.
Unfortunately, Tinubu's wickedness happened and now I can only feed my dog leftovers. My dog has emaciated but not to the point of looking starved and malnourished but it is now a shadow of itself. I supplement its nutrient deficiency with supplement such as codliver oil.

So, why not sell off the dog? Is the dog generating some sort of revenue for you?

Good luck to those involved. I just don't want to have anything to do with dogs. If I know say you get dogs for house, I no dey go your house no matter what.

hkidola00:
citizen,can't we plan a mass riot like right now like we did during endsars

So that you will call Igbos who participate in it "IPOB"?

Ta! No protests whatsoever! Tinubu must continue his works!

Man!

Igbo women are beautiful! Damn it!

gr8ofnnetwork:
Since the end of #OjudeOba Festival, my brethren outside Asaba became relentless in their Igbo get-together everywhere 😁😁😁😁😁😁. From Lagos to Abuja, to Port and Kano. Unfortunately, it is only in SE they are yet to organize one because MNK or Ekpa instructed them soul.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

This is entirely untrue. These Igbo festivals were arranged way before the 2024 #OjudeOba Festival. Also, this is a festival for Igbos outside Igbo land. So, don't expect anything of such in the southeast.

Isn't 911 the emergency contact in the US and Canada? Abi yukay don dey use 911?

stagger:
What stir please?

Person wey dem don chop sotey na bottom pot remain.. Haaa!

Nigerian men o🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shomek:
Did you know how many yoruba youths that were killed during the end sars protest ?

You guys are asking for good governace una no wan work for it.

Actually, more Igbos, Urhobo and Bini youths died and/or were imprisoned more than Yoruba youths. Wike ordered the army into Oyigbo to destroy homes thereby killing young men and kidnapping young women as sex slaves. In Delta and Edo states, especially in the former which was the origin of #ENDSARS, the police brazenly killed youths who protested. So, the claim that many Yoruba youths died while protesting is entirely false. In fact, if it's to be the truth, it means APC and its Ronu supporters have to accept that people died in the Lekki Toll Gate, which you people have characterised as "where are the bodies?"

That said, only Yorubas should vigorously protest during this administration. Any other ethnic group youths that joins them are foolish people.

laivwire:
Its been mentioned severally, if you plan to japa, be sure to have way to make legit money when you get there. You dont need up to 50m for that.

With 50m though, I'd stay in Nigeria and run a business in a field I'm expert in. Even if I'm able to make just 30% as profit in a year (quite low actually), I'd live better than an hustler abroad.

Buy 3 cars at #7m each, put a margin of #1m on every car and give yourself 3 months to sell them all off. Thats #1m per month for you without doing care job.

Do you know what's 30% profit per annum within one year of investment? And you say it's actually low? So, what sort of investment generates say 50% within a year of investing?

I'm genuinely curious.

SpaceX:
since it's private what's the governor doing there?

Manton one country where politicians don't commission privately owned industrial facilities?

Slytiger:
UK Parliamentary, a big NO.

Nigeria is member of the commonwealth. So, Nigerians residing in the UK can vote.

StOla:
Despite all his anti-immigration posturing.

The Labour Party is equally anti-immigration. What's the difference between six and half a dozen?

You guys should stop this why Igbos move to Lagos or other regions and not remain in Southeast?


Aside Lagos state and maybe some parts of Ogun state due to industrialization made possible by its proximity to Lagos, there is no other Yoruba state that witness influx of none indigenes of the state more than Onitsha and Aba.

The problem most of you have is you hate traveling around Nigeria (especially to Southeast even if for nothing else but for information and enlightenment purpose like I have done to other regions just to know what's on ground in other regions) and you stay in your region and assume things in Southeast. Why not plan a physical visit to Onitsha, Aba, Owerri and Enugu and have a first hand experience even though the FG induced insecurity in Southeast have reduced economic activities in Southeast since end of Buhari's second tenure that he used wickedness and hatred to disrupt the peace of Southeast through unnecessary clampdown on IPOB and Biafra agitators.



Igbos relocate to Lagos state because Lagos state is Nigeria's commercial center, all thanks to Colonial masters and Nigeria's Federal Government and it's policies even before independence.


Nigeria's number one seaport is in Lagos state. And Nigeria is an importation dependent nation. So what do you expect Igbo people that are business oriented people to do; remain in Southeast that federal government intentionally ignored/abandoned it's infrastructures to punish Igbos after the end of the civil war in 1970?


Nigeria's number one international airport is in Lagos.

Nigeria's Central Bank headquarters used to be in Lagos until some time ago that it was relocated to Abuja.


Nigeria's Customs head office was also in Lagos until some years back that it was moved to Abuja but main control office still remain in Lagos.

Nigeria's FAAN, and other aviation regulatory bodies were all in Lagos until Buhari moved them to Abuja few years ago.


All the commercial, mortgage, etc bank head offices are all in Lagos till today.


All foreign country embassies and mission offices are either in Lagos or Abuja. So before any Igbo man travels out of Nigeria for his business or study or tourism/vacation, etc, he must visit Lagos to obtain visa, etc, so what do you expect; Igbos remain in Southeast when you refused them from having their own country with these offices in their country, so that you can then know if they would remain in Lagos or return to their new country?


Virtually all International Oil Companies' head offices are in Lagos state. And lots more.


All these are in Lagos because Lagos was Nigeria's former capital city and the only city to have held that status for decades.


All these make federal government of Nigeria to make policies to favor Lagos state, and also build infrastructures to support Lagos state's status.


So it is natural for all Nigerians, including foreigners to prefer Lagos state more than any other state in Nigeria for economic survival, job hunting, business establishment and whatnot because Nigeria's Federal Government policies already favored Lagos to succeed more than any other state in Nigeria.


This is why it seems like Igbos relocate to Lagos a lot, it is not rocket science, it is natural based on the facts and indices I already gave.


Another issue is the civil war and culture.

Just like Fulanis who are mostly nomads by culture and nature, Igbos are another economic/business nomad tribe in Nigeria. An average Igbo man can relocate to a remote community he spots an opportunity to establish a thriving business/trade without minding the lack of modern amenities and harshness of that community. He would sit tight doing his trade judiciously, serving the people of that community until modernization comes to that place and by then he will become the shining star or the owner of the most thriving business in that once forgotten community. This is Igbo people's lifestyle. He may come from Onitsha with electricity, paved road, modern healthcare, etc but still relocate to a remote community in far away North where he believes he would thrive faster with less competition, and you may think his community is a forest for him to come to such remote community to reside.


He must have weighed his chances of surviving in his more developed Onitsha town with lots of competition with other big business owners and decided to relocate to where he would survive faster. This is why most Igbos relocate to different parts of Nigeria and abroad. Igbos by nature are economic nomads or trade/business nomads.


Again like I said, Biafra civil war also played a role. Southeast and Igbos survived the civil war and bounced back without government officially rebuilding Southeast after the war like other countries that fought such war did mostly because of Igbo people's business/trade Nomadic lifestyle. So how can you be comparing Southeast with Lagos or Kano, Kaduna, etc in development when they didn't witness any war like Southeast? Are you aware that virtually all major infrastructure in Southeast built by the colonial masters were all destroyed during the civil war whereas those built in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, etc are all in tact, so how can any sane human being even compare Southeast development with other Nigerian regions that didn't witness war in their region? Southeast ought to be getting kudos and also used as example of a region that rose from fall on its own without federal government help.


Lastly, you asked why Peter Obi didn't transform Anambra to be a developed city comparable to Europe, etc or even Lagos?

I already answered why you shouldn't compare Lagos with any Southeast state in the first place. Lagos is Nigeria's commercial capital built by Nigeria's Federal government and all Nigerians plus foreigners due to its status since colonial era.


Next, I hope you understand the system of government Nigeria operates which makes the President the all and all that determines how any region or state develops in Nigeria which is why progressive Nigerians are clamoring for restructuring? No Nigerian state can develop and remain secured if the incumbent President of Nigeria doesn't want it to happen. I hope you aware that no State Governor in Nigeria controls the security of his or her state? The President controls everything.


I hope you know how federal allocation is shared among the 36 states in Nigeria? It's based on:

1.) population
2.) natural resources revenue derivation

Because of the factors I earlier pointed out, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, etc get the largest share of allocation based on population, while Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom get the highest allocation based on crude oil revenue.

So where do you expect an Anambra state Governor to get the trillions to turn Anambra state to Lagos or Kano? Anambra is a very young state carved out of Enugu not long ago, Anambra doesn't have the population of Lagos or Kano because of lack of federal government presence compared to Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Delta, etc since the end of the civil war. So the little development Anambra witnessed is self made through indigenous people of Anambra and few none indigenous investors, and then the Onitsha main market.


So you cannot compare the opportunities, resources and revenue available to a Lagos or Kano or Rivers or Delta or Kaduna or Akwa Ibom Governor to that available to an Anambra Governor. This you must take note of.


So if Peter Obi says he is going to do this and this as a President of Nigeria, you should not antagonize him by comparatively asking why didn't he do them in Anambra which is a smaller, young state with lesser resources and opportunities compared to Lagos, etc. With the little Obi did with the small resources and opportunities available to him as an Anambra Governor, then it means he is more than capable to do more with larger resources, opportunities and power to back it up as the President.


Why people like me say Tinubu did not perform as a Lagos state Governor is because Lagos state Governor have the world at his tip. Lagos state alone is richer than so many countries and it is no singular person's making, but owes tribute to Colonial masters, Nigeria's Federal Government, Nigeria's crude oil resources, and then all Nigerians.


And like I said, why I say Tinubu did not perform as Lagos state Governor is because I know that without his grip on Lagos state treasury, if Lagos were to be governed by a whiteman, believe me, Lagos will be competing with top global cities like London, Tokyo, Adelaide, etc because Lagos state have all that it takes to develop more than it is today.

Another brilliant submission!

I've learnt a lot from you regarding the structure of Nigeria and the place and history of Igbos. Well done!

Just an observation, no lie o, you typed this post on a laptop not phone?

franchasofficia:
of course they are now wiser than they were in their 100 level.

In your 100 level, you will prefer to be posing in front of your school gate, art works, and landmarks that shows you are now a university student lolz but as you get to final year, your mentality changes, you now prefer taking pictures in exotic environment off the campus or at events, these things are common

You are a wise and balanced man.

franchasofficia:
Guys stop hating on our ladies.

lonelydora:
Let BAT supporters mention one thing he has achieved in the last one year

APC is the worst thing that happened to Nigeria.

The worst mistake of my life was supporting Buhari in 2015

As an Igbo man, why did you support Buhari in 2015?

onuman:
Glad to read from one who understands that the insecurity in the Southeast zone is being stage-managed by Jihadi elements in and and outside the ruling APC. These elements later hired and pay Simon Ekpa, the Biafra turncoat, to sustain their insecurity in the southeast area.
Simon Ekpa then hires his loyalists - Igbos and non Igbos - to ravage Igbos and Igbo land; imposing and enforcing debilitating sit at home orders on Igbos who stay indoors out of fear of being caught up outside by bullets from Ekpa's gunmen.

So, the question is: why have Igbo elites, both public and private including those abroad, have kept quiet about this stealth destruction of Igbo land and its inhabitants?
