Una no dey tire? Since March? Haba! Like it or not, but this recruitment is already done and dusted, the Nigeria way. Corruption is written all over it. Trust me when I advise you all to comot your mind from these people. Let us all go and get a skill. Nigeria is not for us.

Unless it was done and dusted last week. I submitted my application through one head of a government department about 3 weeks ago and he informed the person I used to submit it that they would be an aptitude test in the same month of May. He also later updated the person that he had just sent the aptitude tests for his own department to the authorities with a little added details for my preparation for the test. I'm still waiting because he gave his assurances and he is also the head of the department I applied to.

Ttalk:


Am not interested in your competition flaunting but your guys' arrogance is nauseating and ridiculous.

Yes, Igbo travels a lot, but other Nigerians too do.

For your information, we have more Yoruba in the north than Igbo.

Let me break it down for you, Yoruba have been trading with the North even before the amalgamation of Northern and Southern protectorates. That is why you have some Yoruba that have almost completely assimilated with the Hausa culture in the North

Where you have a large presence of Yoruba include
1. Kebbi
2. Sokoto
3. Kaduna
4. Niger
5. Kogi
6. Kwara
7. Abuja

The lies you guys dish to yourself at village square does not translate to truth and it only exposes your ignorance and myopic mindset.

Just because Nigerians have allowed you to continue in your bullying should make you be dishing out lies on social media.

You can lie! I'm from the north, Kogi precisely. Oga, the population of Igbos in the north is probably 20 times the number of Yorubas in the north. In some northern states Igbos are among the top 3-5 most populated ethnic groups including indigenous tribes o.

Yorubas have significant numbers in some northern areas like Jos, Keffi, Akwanga, Suleja, Kaduna, Abuja etc but it still doesn't come close to even be compared with the population of Igbos.

Usenokpevbo:
Ijaws from a fair perspective are not more than Tivs, Bayelsa is the least populated state in the country and would not for a senatorial district in some states.

Alongside with that, In delta state, where they are also present, the Urhobos are the largest controlling about 35 % of the population of Delta state. Aniomas are next and they have about 30% of the population of the state. Then you have the Isokos and the Itsekiris with about ten percent each. You see at most even in delta state, Ijaws would be left with 15%.

In rivers state, you have ikwerre and ogoni which would be together about 4 million combined. Then you have Ekpeyes, Ogbas, Etche, Omuma, Ndoki, Ndoni, Oyigbo, Egbema,

When you check the population of these groups together mentioned above, you will see the combined population of these groups cannot be less than 2.5 million.

Then when you put these Igbo groups together with Ikwerre, alongside with Ikwerre, you have some solid 4 million people. When you pit them alongside with Ogoni, you will be looking at six million already.

Benue state is over six million people and when you put the about 800 to 1 million Ijaws in delta at most(i am exaggerating this now to cover for their population in Edo state and Akwa Ibom. Then when you add the population of Ijaws in Rivers state which would not be more than 1.5 million . You have about 2.5 million in Delta and Rivers.

When you put their population in Rivers and delta state together, which would be at most 2.5,when you add that to the 2 million Ijaws in Bayelsa state. That will give you at most a figure of 4.5 million in the south south. Arogbo Ijaws in Ondo state are at most 200,000 people. That is a combined population of about 4.7 million people. That will just be about 80 of the population of Benue state, which the Tivs are already 80% of .

The Tivs also have population of about twenty percent in Nassarawa. As they control one senatorial district there. Even in Taraba, they have a population of about fifteen percent, and they also have very high migratory populations in Kano and kaduna states.

Where else can you find the Ijaws in large numbers outside the niger delta they are already indigenous, it is a clear win for the Tivs. The total population of Tivs in Nigeria are in excess of 8million. The population of Ijaws in Nigeria are no more than 5.5 million

Tiv people are a very small minority in Nasarawa State, they do not control any senatorial zone in the state. In fact they do not control even a single LGA in the state. A lot of Nasarawa State people do not regard them as indigenous.

He is a Yoruba man.

Nonsense Bill. HND and Polytechnics should be scrapped, SIMPLE.

I went to Fed Poly Offa, and YabaTech and I have three Masters degrees, currently running the fourth one. Don’t ask me what I’m doing with them, it’s not your business.

On my CV and on Linkedln, I list my education from ND, HND, PGD, MSc-1, MSc-2, MSc-3. I intentionally start from ND so that any viewer can see that I am a Polytechnic product and I am stubbornly proud of it.

However, Polytechnics have been scrapped in US and UK where Nigeria copied it from. As a matter of fact, one of the two foreign universities I attended and currently attend, used to be a Polytechnic, but has been merged with another higher college and converted to a university. So, why is Nigeria hanging on a dead institution?

All Polytechnics should be merged with other colleges or universities. SIMPLE

You don't need to write ND as your qualification if you already have an HND. HND already indicates you have an ND because one must have an ND before a HND.

But erm oga, wetin you de use all these certificates do? Haba! Two masters and two PhDs don do me o.

OKOATA:
This is a baby cobra, check the stripes around the snake. I'm even watching it on Natgeo wild now, Bland mambas don't have stripes for those saying. Your dog already got bitten that's why it couldn't stand nor eat. I pray it survives and keep us apprised.

Baby Cobra as how? All these funny people self.

Oga, that is a very huge Cobra there and should be about 12-13 feet if you measure it. I have killed many before, the last I killed was in 2023. I have eaten several many times too.

oz4real83:
I am so worried about your dog, this snake is either a mamba or cobra and they are very deadly, I just hope your dog wasn't bitten by it. Your dog needs urgent specialized medical attention

It is a Cobra, the dog should be dead by now.

Gbajabiamila1:
He's learning fast. Tinubu made donations too in 2022/23 before the election, though in billions.

He is not learning anything. He has been doing it for than a decade. I when he came for the burial of his friend in Kogi State and donated 1million naira to the community primary school where his friend was buried. This was in 2014, 2014 is 14 years ago!

He donated 2m to another school in Lokoja around 2017/18 too.

Starboytwo:
Wetin all this islamist want gan gan.

I'm starting to believe the Muslim religion is not of peace but of war and chaos

This people do Allahu akbar and cut person neck. And you say thats peace.

To buttress your point, northern Ghana is the only part of Ghana that has Muslims. In fact the only part of most countries that have terrorist groups are the parts that have Muslims. Uganda has a small population of Muslims in one part only, terrorist activity in Uganda emanates from only that part.

Creamcrest:
I don't get it,I thought they said they are trying to reduce the excess money in circulation so as to curb inflation.They keep hiking interest rates to achieve that.

And now they come out to say they are trying to ensure enough cash in circulation.

I don't understand.No wonder kperogi called cardoso an "Airhead"

You echo my thoughts exactly. Why make interest rate so high only to pump more cash into the system?

Antoeni:
This Should Be Yoruba Women, Aboki don't Cheat

De play. Come Giri junction for Abuja make you see things.

Will do that.

So what does Exema mean in Edo then, and how does its meaning connect to being a gentleman? The burden of proof is on the edoids, since this name exists in Three Yoruboid groups if not more, and yet no single Edo group bears Edema as a name yet you wanna claim it comes from them.

I already told you about dialectal difference already, I don’t know how else to explain it - but take this as an example.

The name Jolomi is a Yoruboid name. BUT you will only see it in Itsekiri and certain Ondo groups. Jolo (pronounced as Jorlor) is a Yoruboid word meaning beautify, replace , replenish, repair etc... but its use has a restricted grographical scape.
Now you can tell what a name like Oritsejolomi means.

Now, if I don’t see Jolo in my Yoruba dictionary- I would be very wrong to jump into a hasty conclusion by automatically assuming that it is an Edo name.

Another example will be the Igala name Onuche, Ogwuche or Onoja - these are very apecific Igala names one might even be tempted to think the first or second one is igbo- but believe me they are proper Yoruboid names that have been accented by the Yoruboid language in question (Igala). In Yoruba the first and second one would be Olushe (Master don do am) , while the second would be Ogunshe (Juju don do am). Third one would be Oloja (village owner i.e Ruler)

I hope you are getting my point sha?

I see why you got the wrong meanings now. Onuche is not pronounced the way you pronounce the Igbo name Uche, che in Igala pronounced same way you pronounce Shem, shirt, shell etc.

Even the second name is pronounced same way and not the way you pronounced it like Uche the Igbo name.

The pronunciation of Ogwu in Ogwuche is different from the pronunciation of Ogwu (medicine) in Yoruba and even Igala language. We call medicine Ogwu in Igala too but this Ogwu is pronounced differently from that of medicine. You tried though.

You got the meaning of those Igala names very wrong.

Onuche means messenger or servant. If broken into parts of means
Onu - King/leader
Uche - message

Meaning king of messages. For instance, the Igala Bible refers to angels as Onuche ojo (messengers or servants of God).

Servants or messengers in a king's palace are also referred to as Onuche.

I don't have energy to break down the other names.

scholes0:


errrm, are you sure Edema is an Edo name?

I have never seen any Benin man called Edema before, The only Edemas I know are Itsekiris,some from Ondo state and one guy from Ijebu waterside.

We Igalas bear Enema, it has the same or almost the same meaning with the Edema used in Itshekiri. In fact many of the names listed here can be understood to some extent by Igala speakers.

samdaisi:
Okay now, I am 100% believe in what Omokhire always says about this man, 6 Kings were killed in his region during the protest,he couldn't speak up against it let alone of sending condolence message to their family but now he can send it to the people that killed during the protest

More than 60 were also killed in Benue State too and he also said nothing, so what is your point?

Salewa97:
So na only una dey suffer?

All this talk of marginalization and injustice is just noise. When other regions dey protest, Igbo dey sit down like say dem no get mouth. If una no fit stand up for your own rights, who go do am for you?

He is an Igala man from Kogi State, unlike most of your Yorubas and northern guys we the people of Kogi State tend to see events from a neutral point of view which is what this former Presidential candidate has done.

Goodnewsforlife:
I still cant understand why Peter obi has never said anything about killing of chiefs in south east but he puts mouth in every matter

Typical hypocrisy of an average Igbo, their house will b burning but they will b busy chasing rat in their neighbours house

I still don't understand why Peter Obi is not saying anything about the killing of youths in Benue and Kogi States. Herdsmen have killed more than 60 in Kogi State this year and PO hasn't said anything. Benue witnesses regular killings too but PO is quiet about it. Why? Is it that he doesn't care about the north? Where does he care about now since he won't address issues on the South East and the North?

GeneralOjukwu:
Likely an Obidient. Very unruly in nature.

Super brave behind the keyboard.

When real fights starts man-to-man, they dive under the bed in their wives skirts or flee to Abidjan.

So na only obidients de find good governance abi? Since any body that complains about bad governance is an Obidient.

PresidObi:
Who?

He mentioned their names. Patrick Aziza, 69bn dollars, David Mark, 200 million pounds.

NSNO:
Instead of them to follow her to the rendezvous point so that they can arrest the receiver and even get information about the sender and who knows, maybe even unravel the whole gun running operation. But no, they posted her photo on Internet for cheap likes. 😒

What do I even know? After all I am not a security agent.

Follow her into the forest where security agents will now be ambushed by thousands of different bandit groups abi? You think say our security men no get sense?

These guys live in well-fortified territories that hardly anyone dares enter apart from their already conquered and subjugated civilian neighbors.

benuejosh:
A young man just wasted by bandits abi UNKNOWN GUN MEN from a region.

I am if this happened in Benue then it must be around otukpo which is not far from Enugu.

May the family find strength to bear the loss.
Banditry or unknown gun men must not be given a breathing gap.

Happened in Taraba.

Irupetepete:
Oga, when you are into a business as an entrepreneur, you just don't dive in to make money alone, you must have have the wisdom and be able to foresee the consequences of your actions...
You think Air peace is naive on this front?
Ok, take glo and mtn Sim in the year 2004 for example...
A Sim card was sold for 30k until glo crashed it to 2k...
Did glo crash out today?
Your comment shows a poor understanding of economics.
You think this type of business is for dummies?
Or you think Air peace didn't foresee this?
He already achieved his aim, man is booked till December... That's a smart move bro..

victorclean:
Wahala. This mean they have been extorting Nigerians

Not at all. It means they want to push Airpeace out of the market. The big airlines can afford to charge a fare that is a loss to them so that customers will go for their cheaper fares, Airpeace won the able to compete and will eventually leave that route cos of losses, as soon as Airpeace leaves the market cos of losses they will jack up their prices again.

JuanDeDios:
Nigerian reading this: "But there's a 133 year old man in my village and my grandmother is 137 years."

If your grandmother is up to 137 then you must be about 80 years by now.

TimFisher2:




You can't hate this man.


P.O has been consistent.


I when he visited Islamic scholars in Kano 2002


I want to be like P.O

2002? Abi 2022? Which one?

advanceDNA:
This noise of HND will never end.......Why can't pple just stop going to polytechnics?


How can u pple go to polytechnics and now want ur diploma changed to bachelors degree..........ko proper naaaaaa


. This noise is becoming nauseating.... B.tech?? How does that sound for courses like.... B.tech mass comm, B.tech ing..??

The government should kukuma cancel all HND programmes ....once u finish OND...go and get ur bachelors or u stop at OND ...

HND holder from London? Do they offer Hands there? I'm aware an HND is the equivalent of an associate degree in the US, an associate degree is considered lesser than a degree and is a three year course or so. It is just like our own HND is considered lesser than a degree.

makemoneywbsite:
Look at those names. I see Umogidi, Ada and Ejima. Are you sure that's not the Igbo part of Benue? That means ESN isn't really dealing with Fulani militia all over Igbo land. Are Agatu related to Igbo in any way? And why are African politicians like these governors their people are getting killed so useless? You mean they can't take necessary steps to train and arm real militia to defend their people? I guess it'll start happening the day Fulani bullet gets one of their relatives.

Agatu LGA is a bit far from Igbo land and even shares boundary with Nasarawa State. Apart from Ejima the other names made me think along the lines you are thinking though. The part of Benue State that has Igbos is separated from Agatu LGA by at least 3 other LGAs. The Agatus as a tribe live on all sides of the River that separates Benue, Nasarawa and Kogi States. Their population is plenty in both Benue and Nasarawa states and they speak a language very similar to Idoma.

lovetterrison:


I have observe lately and for the past ten years benue peope are making huge impact both local and globally in every sector and education wise ..but u see my Igala people wei dei always form na we plenty ... I no see una for anywia ooo [/b]

Igala girl, Ojoma is an Igala name.

Nobleou:
Idoma girl




Who get her control?

With two Igala names?

Gunayo:
Who is that politician from the South that is able to dislodge Tinubu if not Obi. Give Obi the ticket under PDP and see the demise of APC simple as ABC.

Mvslims won't vote Obi.

Bliss24:




I just love Shetima's blunt disposition

Best Graduating student of Economics in Prestigious University of Ibadan Citadel of learning......

After 30 years of Graduation

Ended up becoming Deputy Branch Manager at a new generation bank like Polaris bank

30 years after graduation that he should be planing retirement he is a Deputy Manager

His total salary may not be up to 200,000 to 500,000 a month


He made this submission at University of Ibadan to remind student the intricacies of life

PS:
IF you know say e no go better for your papa this morning qoute me to say trash

You idiots stay your lane and don't qoute me if Ogun no go perish your families


.

.

You don't understand the need you read. DGM is a top management position in banks and not a deputy branch head, in fact there is nothing like deputy branch head in banks.
A DGM earns millions per month in most banks and is a very rich man and is one of the top men anywhere the bank is mentioned.
