@_Ola_sun_kanmi That's sharing according to ìdì igi formula. I thought culturally they had abandoned that sharing formula for the orí ò j'orí.

My dad's friend, Uncle Dapo came from one of the craziest families I've ever heard about.
His father had about 25 wives and more than 50 children.😳
They said it got to a point where he couldn't even recognise all his children anymore.😧
Whenever one came to meet him, he'd just ask:
"What's your name and who is your mother?"
The man was a wealthy cocoa farmer then, so I guess it was the money giving him morale.😹
When he died, his property was shared among the children but according to each mother.
Like:
"This land belongs to wife number 3's children."
"That side belongs to wife number 7's children."
No matter the number of children your mom had, the share went to her children as a group.
So your luck if you are the only child of your mother.😂

@40PlusImmigrant I love it die. To be honest, that is one of my favorite things about being in this country. You can be nice and polite without people suspecting you of having ulterior motives.
Imagine holding the door open for someone in Nigeria, they will refuse to enter walahi.😀😀😀😀
English

You see this holding the door of a thing in Canada🇨🇦? Dem don use am swear for me! 🤣
Not me from quite a distance, jogging happily smiling to meet up with this caucasian old man, who held the door for us, even as he didn't have to, because we were too far from getting there quickly. Took it and held it for others too.
I just love doing it! It makes me happy. Act of service is one thing I just effortlessly do.😍 A society that improves your sound mind.

Pele o, mortgagee. Third and fourth generation Canadians are looking for down-payment for their 30 year mortgages, uncle landed in Canada with a boatload of money, and will pay off his mortgage in 12 years.
Silly stories like this is why Baale Ile will sell off his houses and cars, wrap up their successful businesses to come to these countries where you pay off your mortgage in 12 years from tax refunds 😄😄😄😄😄and retire before 40.🙄
Just pity the poor people who have no way to fact check you. Some poor man will read this rubbish and start making life decisions based on this.
Do you even know what a tax refund is or how it's calculated?🙄🙄
English

@b2bgr @amindavison @msmocrown Sorry bro, this discussion is beyond you😅😅....so you cant pay off a mortgage in 12years? Do you have an idea of what my tax refunds are yearly, or what my annual income is?
Sorry for waste your time
English

@courageous00 @amindavison @msmocrown Lol. Early retirement in deed. How has this past tax season treated you? How's your mortgage coming up. Property taxes nko? Dey whine yourself.
English

@b2bgr @amindavison @msmocrown Been here for 5yrs...by the time you checking in 3years I will most likely be in early retirement and still less than 40😂😂
So better check on yourself
English

@courageous00 @amindavison @msmocrown Lol. Tell me you are a new immigrant without telling me. Don't worry, we'll check back on this in 2 or 3 years.
English

@b2bgr @amindavison @msmocrown I dont need to practice, Canada has given me a home already. Maybe you should be the one practicing because there may be no place for you to run to when the war you asking for come kncoking
English

@badtutuu @_Penta_one_ I love this response. Some rubbish dont even deserve the time spent to read it.
English

@GloriousGod01 Most people had extremely rose colored glasses and expectations before relocating. They had no idea what the reality is, because the ones that went before them hid the truth.
English

One thing I will never understand.
You own a house in Nigeria. A car. Properties. You sell everything, and relocate abroad to start working as a cleaner or a cook.
Sometimes you spend months without a single job, sleeping in someone's living room, eating once a day, sending edited photos back home so people think you made it.
You left your mansion to become a puppet in another man's land.
And we are supposed to celebrate this? It is either escapism or cowardice. I have not decided which one is worse.
Above all, love God.
English

Never too early to start though. I hype my daughter everyday. Even before she started daycare, I tell her how pretty she is, how her natural hair is the best because she can do so much with it, how her brown skin is a special gift because she gets the most Vitamin D from the sun - plus wetin true and wetin no true all join. Her self confidence must be extra high in this soul-sapping environment!
English

@OlajimmySamuel Thanks a lot chief.
Wasn’t my daughter tho. She never start school
English

“Mummy I don’t like my skin. It looks like poo.”
A five year old said that.
Walking through the door after school.
Born in Canada 🇨🇦.
Never left this country.
She is not alone.
There are thousands of children having this conversation with their parents right now.
My people, how do you even fix that?
English

Are you proud of your roots as the parent? Do you hype your culture, your food, your dressing?
Or are you constantly thanking God for saving you from your 'shithole country' and threatening to 'take them back' like it's the worst place on earth?
If the parent lacks self esteem and pride in their roots, you can't impart it in your children.
Also, we have to take them home regularly where they can see people who look like them.
First time I took my baby home, once we got to the boarding gate for the last leg to Lagos, she couldn't contain her excitement: 'everybody looks like me!'
English

@b2bgr @amindavison @msmocrown Now I confirm you dull...does Lagos has her own national/state passport? Is it not Nigerian passport you have in Lagos, so how am I a stranger in my "country"?😂😂
English

@msmocrown Its so annoying. These silly things dont respect anybody house. They will enter anywhere to eat anything you planted.
English

Please what's the difference between this and the cows on Abuja road?
SherryRahman 🇳🇬 🇨🇦@Sheriffie
Only in Canada 🇨🇦… This was close to a school, a residential area.
English

@courageous00 @amindavison @msmocrown But you will carry your long mouth from whatever your dirty state is and go to Lagos to talk anyhow.
English

@b2bgr @amindavison @msmocrown So a stranger has a right to talk anyhow in your house?😂😂
How una dey reason sef
English

@amindavison @msmocrown But you can focus only on negative things about your own home not so? We know what you are.
English

Why do you always seem to focus on negative things about your host country? It feels like all your tweets on a daily basis about Canada are negative, as if you are the only one living there. If you’re not comfortable there, perhaps you should consider returning to where you came from instead of constantly criticizing the country

I would really love to hear your opinion on the issue below.
The owner is reading , Kindly give your innocent view , NO INSULTS PLEASE otherwise I will block you Asap. Thank you
For a young couple relocating abroad, especially those who have been married for less than 3 years, what is the best way to handle the Eru Iyawo items (things like pots, coolers, spoons, knives, etc.) that the wife bought and some were given to her by her parents before marriage?
Although they may not have huge monetary value or be worth selling, they still carry sentimental value.
In a situation where the wife’s mother-in-law has remarried and is no longer with the father-in-law, who is it usually best or most appropriate to keep these items with?
The wife’s mother
The mother-in-law
Or the step mother-in-law?
Or you gift them out to people
How do people usually go about situations like this when relocating out of the country?
Thank you ma’am.

Is she just waking up to reality, or is she only now getting the memo? The gaslighting is no longer working.
If she truly wants to address the issue, she should be bold enough to discuss what many see as the root cause rather than presenting only one side of the story. By ignoring the underlying grievances and focusing solely on portraying Igbos as victims, the conversation becomes incomplete and unbalanced.
Many people in Ondo still point to the controversies surrounding Betsy Akeredolu's remarks and actions as evidence that these tensions did not emerge in a vacuum. In 2026, people are demanding more honest and nuanced conversations, not selective narratives.
