That's why they traveled to Edo to get lion meat.

What is this! 😄

othermen:
We heard it rained in Edo, and we were waiting for the rain in Uromi. The sun was beginning to sink, and that rain might bring some comfort. There is heat. Sometimes the whole country feels like hell.

Uromi is not a very big place. The people here
had known shared suffering, they have read of too many deaths. Of the priests killed despite paying the kidnappers. Of the farmers killed by herdsmen. Everyone still remember bodies found in the forest, throats slit, bellies opened.

Everyone knew who had done it.

The police had repeatedly failed them. The community had taken charge of their own safety. They were a response to the authorities’ failure.

So when the bus appeared on the main road, filled with these men, suspicion was easy. They stopped the bus, the passengers were silent at first. Then, as the demand for inspection was issued, there was hesitation and protest. A moment later, local guns were found.

Guns, crude and worn, the kind they had seen before in the hands of murderers. The kind the Nigerian army had published as exhibits from notorious bandits and terrorists.

The vigilantes, hardened by grief and anger, called to the community. The people didn’t have much to do, they quickly gathered, their voices rising.

The men in the bus swore they were hunters, just passing through, but who could believe them? Hunters, here in Uromi? Some heard they were only passing through, going to Kano. But it still felt like a poor lie, and the people of Uromi had long stopped believing in mercy when it came to those who had shown them none.

They dragged the men from the bus, their voices drowned beneath the cries for vengeance. The work was done. Justice, they told themselves, had been served.

But in Kano, Wives were awaiting their husbands. Mothers were awaiting their sons. Daughters were awaiting their fathers. A lady loved one of the boys that will never return.

They too knew of the bandits and kidnappers, that was why they couldn’t hunt in the forests in Kano. They were also afraid, for they too had lost brothers to these bandits.

The men in the bus had set out early that morning, their bane guns kept. Hunting was their life. As they neared Uromi, many of them had slept. When they were stopped, they presented their gun licenses. They didn’t plead. But as the mob grew, they pleaded, but their voices were swallowed by the wind of rage.

They tried to explain, but reason disappears when met with grief that had hardened into wrath. Then the blows came, and then the flames, and then nothing.

The government didn’t yet think that Justice, when left too long in the hands of absent authorities, became something the people take for themselves.

I have verified that Otti cleared Pension arreas owned by the foolish man called Ikpeazu in March, 2024.

Currently, all Abia State pensioners get paid by 27 or 28th of every month. This is something the useless fool called Ikpeazu couldn't do when he was Governor.

Hehehe
Stop spreading fake news here bruh!

ccollins:
u like supporting evil. One day is coming, you will account to God for the many evil things you supported online in the internet and also in your personal life

Hey!! Don't bring God into this matter you hypocritical human

DesChyko:
Yes he is. Do you have a problem with a former general manager of an apex Nigerian bank attending a wedding? You who supports diverse humans flaunting wealth without enterprise?

These bots sef.

A former manager of an apex Nigerian bank that helped the administration of Gov. T.A Orji loot several funds that was meant for the state abi

nedekid:
Big mistake, but atleast he is alive and life goes on. As for my guy, when naija started getting tough for him, he sold his shop he owned in a complex, sold his suv, took the money to apply for visavisa for his family. This was ending of Obama period when US was issuing visa to anyone that applied as family ohh. The guy got the visa. Note also his rent had expired tay tay, but he decided to use the money to fund the japa planing they will leave the country.
Anyway all the money went in funding the visa at Abuja embassy all the way from Lagos.
Long and short the money remaining was for ticket. Na there my guy made mistake. Since money no reach madam convinced to allow her go first and that after working she will send money for him and the kids to come. Na so she japa. Fresh fine yellow woman. After some time I no longer saw the kids, on asking my guy said his wife came and flew with the kids say when she raises more money she will get him ticket to come. Omo, that was how the years started going. I don't know what he said happened ohh, but he said he got a call from the embassy that his visa was cancelled but I think it expired. Na so this guy stayed, no house, was patching with friends, staying in church etc, a guy that had money before. That was how health challenges started, diabetic complications, high blood pressure, swollen feet etc, no one to care for him. He will call me, I will send him money. The last one he called that he was sick, I sent, few days later he called I sent, he called shortly again that he was in the hostital and if I saw him I will not recognise him. I felt he was taking advantage of me and ignored his calls and WhatsApp messages, that was my big regret because I got a call he was dead!
His wife and kids did not show up(likely because of cost or no documents). Infact I heard she had filled for divorce long before his death as she had moved on with her life in the US along with his kids and that put a lot of stress on him.
Man J (1969-2023), continue to rest in peace.
In summary, japa separately works for some peoole, but it is advisable for the family to go at once or worst, you the man should go and then bring your family. Some will argue that family should stay in naija while the man hustles abroad.

Such a sad way to end 😢 😞

EmperorCaesar:
Clowns will tell its his money and he should spend it anyhow


Trust his fans to hurl insults at you and to call it mentality issue

Comot eye for person money!
Go hustle your own!!!

olaboyeh:
A lexus is always a better option than it's toyota counterpart.. Always!... except when fuel economy is a concern then a 4 cylinder variant of the toyota becomes an option...

in your comparison here . both are reliable, rx350 is more refined though and drives better.. quieter cabin and all.. both are similar vehicle but I'd pick lexus for the better refinement... preferably 2013 rx350!.. for a better infotainment system

Thank you very much for the review

SamuraiXXX:
Dey there

So out of the blues he just gave such a large amount of money to a complete stranger because he loves him so much?

Wake up man!

My Brother, you don't have to necessarily love someone before you help them.

CandyOps:
Yesterday I dey kitchen till almost 10.30pm
Cooked okro soup and Ofe Akwu for today's rice. With well seasoned beef

As I woke up happily to go an warm it and it was looking a bit swollen with tiny little bubbles popping up.

Hmmm maybe na prank
I turned around to check. But na my house so I no expect to see hidden camera.

Na so this banga take spoil.
The idea was to include some more veggies and stock fish to the stew this morning b4 dishing it into the storage containers for freezing.

Hmmm! *sighs deeply*

At that moment i wished I was a babe so I would have no excuses than to start crying like a child.

I legit felt like crying at that instant because WTF?! And fridge dey o

I had to go borrow a bigger pistle & mortar from a neighbour to get this stew done faster that yesterday and now it's spoilt?

This can't be true.
I just bent over the pot to perceive the aroma but... Nothing. No odd smells. But it's def going bad

Madd! 😠

Its over 3 hours now since I warmed it up again. I want to know if there's any solution to make it taste any better as it kinda slaps a bit and not so fresh any more


. I feel like calling my babe to ask for a solution but remember say I no get babe .. now I'm double mad! 😡 💢

Called mumsy and she advised to add some balls of charcoal to it.

I think I understand how women feel when they have drastic mood swings and go from happy to erratic in seconds. That's me rn.

I went from having the mental composure of Master Shifu (see Kungfu Panda) to that of a 3yo baby.

So now... Sunday lunch will be replanned.
Any remedy to the soup? Any hope

I'm omw to the market to get some charred coal. I'll check suggestions so I'll buy anything I need at once

Drop a charcoal in the soup and warm till the sour tastes is gone.
You can also add your fish and veggies to reignite the real taste.

AntiZikist:
You see this Anambra ?

I have been saying it here for years that that evil enclave is filled to the brim with pure evil.

Remain make Baba God send brimstone and fire to cleanse that land of Sodom.

Those people there are worse than devil himself.

Even the father being a native doctor aka diabolical evil priest of ekwensu , hand no clear.

One day Una cup go full for God eye and HE will send HIS wrath upon you there.

Sometimes, it's better to read and scroll through than to drop some useless comment

Kunlelee:
Even dangote will have cousin that need 45 million.

Another assumption here 🤮

Vadese1:
So there is no poor person in Tinubu or dangote extended family. This online rant is making some people to be useless with their brain . There is no way he will make every one comfortable in his family.

Yes, I just love how you assumed.

verdad00:
People can often act foolishly. The guy in question is just a cousin, not even a blood brother.

In life, no one owes you anything. You need to get out there and work hard like everyone else. Many Nigerians exhibit a sense of entitlement that is unwarranted.

Yes, this is because in your family, you're told that your relatives are your enemy that is why you're and the 15 people wey like your post go continue to dey wail.

Kobicove:
He gave him the money so as to gain leverage in the face-off between him and Cubana Chief Priest, it's not like he fully gave it from the fullness of his heart

I so much like how people assume a lot about others.
Well, everybody no dey Like you

You're just pained!

HeavenlyBang:
Getting tired of seeing so many "2018 Range Roger Evoque or 1995 Toyota Corolla, which one should I buy?" posts.

The goal of this thread is to hold all the comparison posts, and also for those looking for car recommendations. [s]Especially since Nurey no wan follow directives. [/s]

When looking for a recommendation, please state your budget and the purpose of the car. Factors you're concerned with (fuel economy, luxury, design, drive ability, tech features, etc) should also be stated, as well as any questions you may have.

Hopefully the Cartalk gurus will have an answer for everyone. I'll try as much as possible to help with the little I know, too.

PresidObi:
where is the law that prevents communities from increasing land costs arbitrarily, or stops omo onile from collecting so much money from landlords?

As far as I know, the increase in land price is due to the development of surrounding areas, so sir, please tell us the criteria for the increase in house rent

MasterJayJay:
Did cement companies negotiate with the landlords before increasing price of cement?

You and common sense 👨................💭

rinzaugustine:
Most of the luxury cars he is seeing are the proceeds of crime. You don’t have to become a criminal scamming people online to drive a luxurious car in a western country as good credit takes care of that as long as you are working . He should visit Abuja. Lagos is an unplanned chaotic city , full of traffic jams, no drainages, loud noise and those smelly black water dirty creeks a simple water management expertise would have easily taken care. He should have visited the serene villages of Oshun, Oshogbo, Ado ekiti , Akure, Ibadan villages to enjoy Nigeria

What's with the bitterness?

Rockzy1:
I'm thinking of relocating to another state within Nigera and start a new life with 1million naira?

The major reason for relocating is that something happened to me and i want to move on from the pains, depression etc. I've tried to move on but it's not working.

Could this be a relationship issue 🤔

Sermwell:
I see both online and offline how people freak out at the sight of a celebrity. Some even go as far as rushing or grabbing them.

I have never been to any show, let alone wanting to go up stage to grab a celebrity. I saw how a young man was kicked by Burna Boy and I felt really disgusted because such nonsense can never happen to me.

Early last year, I was on the 6th floor at BUA Group headquarters in Victoria Island where I saw Tekno and Davido sitting down at the reception having a chat, I just greeted them and sat down. I also saw how every other person on that floor was minding their business and don't really give a damn about their presence.

When I told a cousin how I feel weird on how people go crazy at the sight of these celebrities, he said it's not normal but I strongly disagree with him. I even told him how some staff at BUA Group didn't give a damn about Davido"s presence, he insisted that they are not also normal.

Do you guys here share my views, or do you think it's not normal?

You're not alone.
I also feel this way too.

VaginaAcademic:
Please I need serious advice and breakdown

Please someone like my comment so I can always come back here to get updates on the posts.

PrinceOfLagos:
Rivers State governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has presented Certificates of Recognition and Staff of Office to former Niger Delta militant leader, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, and three others as newly recognised traditional rulers in the state.


Dokubo-Asari was presented with a certificate and staff of office as the Amanyanabo of Torusarama Piri in Degema local government area of the state.

Others are HRM, Winston Odize Alamina Oputibeya XII, as the Amanyanabo of Koniju in Okrika local government area; HRM Eze Noble Friday Uwo as the Eze Igbu-Ehuda (Ahoada) IV in Ahoada-East local hovernment area and HRH Prince Ike Ehie as the Eze Igbu Orilukwoe in Ahoada-East local government area of the state.

Presenting the certificates and staff of office to the four new traditional rulers at Government House, Port Harcourt on Tuesday, Governor Fubara urged them not to see their new positions as tool for personal aggrandizement, rather they should see it as a call for service and responsibility to help government protect lives and property in their respective domains.


The governor said: “Let me first of all, on behalf of the government, congratulate the four of you. It has not been an easy journey to get to this point. I know a lot of you have been working very hard to ensure the success of this day. Your appointment in terms of this recognition is not for personal aggrandizement, but a call for service, a responsibility to help us protect lives and property in your domains.”

He stated that though government has the power to withdraw the recognition from any traditional ruler found wanting, Fubara quickly added that it was not his intention to exercise such authority, and warned them not to use the privileged positions to create problems in their domains, but join forces with government to ensure the success of the administration in it’s avowed commitment to deliver dividends of democracy to the people.

Fubara said, “I don’t want you to see this elevation as another platform to create problems in your locality. We have the power to still withdraw the recognition, but I don’t intend to do that. So, I want you to be partners with the government to ensure that we continue to succeed.

“I know that you are all men of integrity. Support the course of governance so that we can all succeed together. It is really a privileged position, and I am very sure that you are going to use it to the best of the interest of your people.”

In his opening remarks, the State’s Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Engr. Charles Amadi, said the newly recognised traditional rulers include two royal majesties and two royal highnesses, and commended Fubara for adding into the number of Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers.

Nice development from Gov. Fubara.
But let’s see how long Dokubo-Asari can stay under Fubara’s control.

bigpicture001:
Having lived all my young to mid adult life in Lagos and then being transferred by my firm to it's Anambra branch , I have now lived here for over two years... These are the differences in life style I noticed

1. Business are late to open in the morning in Anambra compared to Lagos

2. There very few or non existent road side mechanics, most mechanics are in a street inside a compound and fenced unlike Lagos

3. There is still high sense of morality and believe in God in this part of Nigeria by majority of of the people bar the student areas where culturi and believes are imported from various part of Nigeria unlike Lagos

4. There is low level of northern population throughout the state unlike Lagos

5. Most nysc corpers are southwestern and igbos

6. Inside the public transport a new entrant greets the old sittight ones... Unlike Lagos

7. In Anambra, keke driver or bike rider would give u the money to go look for change in cases of no change btw him and customer while he waits for ur return , reverse is the case in Lagos

8. In Anambra , both driver and persongers will reject money to the floor in cases of incorrect disputed price of fare... All allowing ur conscience judge u... In Lagos it results to fight...

9. In Anambra, house rents are very high just like Lagos.. but transport is cheap

10. In Anambra there is a few major fuel marketers mostly filled with unknown names

11. U hardly see anyone criticize a preist of a catholic or Anglican church...

12. In Anambra, student decision of department to follow in senior secondary Begins from SS2 rather than in SS1 in Lagos

13. The senior secondary skls in Anambra are divided to just science or art, while in Lagos it is science, commercial and art.

14. Girls in Anambra are strongly money incited...they judge u by how much u show off..maybe same with Lagos sha

15. Banks are the highest paying private jobs in Anambra unlike Lagos where unknown companies pay huge surprise wages.

16. In Anambra the predominant jobs of the yorubas is tailoring, they are better trusted by the clients than indigenous tailors...

Number 8 is quite correct!

Haters will hate and potatoes will potate.
You've just concluded that Elon is a fraud.
This is just the mentality of a typical Nigerian

You don't always have to be bitter when you come across good news.

MrAmbrose:
If this is true, it means that the country is not a safe place to stay, cos how can someone come to your house in a broad day light for kidnap? Who opened the gate for them?

Una go just open waaaa dey yarn dust. Them kidnap person for en house and you're here shouting "the country is not a safe place to stay"

Objectivist04:
.I don't know the reason for these unnecessary comparison, Abia is constructing some roads with 6ft drainages Which are covered and you think it is not a big deal ?
I am from Enugu state but we don't have the type of flooding challenge that Abia do have so it should be a thing of joy for Abians if the menance of perennial flooding is being takled by providing quality drainages.
The two states are not competing pls

Biko when this flood begin dey happen for abia?
