DerideGull: Sir/Baron Dede1, read this: Wrestling: Igbo Traditional Wrestling It is always a privilege for young men to have the courage to engage in a wrestling match. For one has the opportunity to distinguish themselves and to attain a statue of a star in the Community, as evident in the respect and admirations for Warriors distinguish Wrestlers. Wresting has been known to be used not just as a sport but for other purposes. At times, disputes are settled with this all-important sport. An extremely popular girl, who has had several approaches from suitors, may find it difficult to choose the one she will marry. What happens in this case, is that; a wrestling competition is arranged for all the suitors and whoever emerges victorious marries the girl. Inter-village wrestling competitions are not uncommon. Each village has its own wrestling ground, which is very soft and well looked after. The wrestlers are grouped according to their records of achievements. All the villagers are informed of any competitions, which usually takes place in the evenings. A ring is made and spectators sit around it with the chief, titled men, the musicians and the wrestlers. Boys who have been specially trained provide a brand of music. The wrestlers squat and chat together. The competition is started by the two principal wrestlers from the two villages in the case of inter-village match. Various techniques are employed and a wrestler can easily win the applause of the spectators with his adroit styles. Any competitor that is lifted off the ground is declared defeated. And If it appears that no competitor is defeated, the wrestlers are said to be evenly matched. It's declared a draw and another set of wrestlers comes in. The months of June and July, when the hungry season or "onwo" occurs, wrestlers in the villages get excited about the upcoming matches. This sport is usually celebrated together with certain Customs that includes: dancing, drumming, sacrifices, and other rituals. For Igbo males, taking part in this athletic event will give them the opportunity to prove their status in society as they fight with others. These contests of strength and skill were also used to settle conflicts in pre-colonial times. http://www.the-nigeria.com/2011/11/traditional-wrestling-igbo-traditional.html ^^^Interesting piece!  |

informatix: Dokubo Asari you are a Muslim from christian background I have alot of respect for your Bravery. Christians are not persecuted in the North the northern Christians doesn't need you to rescue Them. Why didn't u built your university in riyom and make study free for northern Christians. What we need is unity not division. You can go and have your Nigerdelta republic.Am sure his building a private University is to make money and not a charity, hence he will choose were he will get the best return for his investment without much competition, unlike in.Nigeria where every village seems to have a university at the moment. 1 Like |

ndu_chucks: I will commit my resources towards going 'our seperate ways' as soon as bright minds can proffer viable solutions to these issues: Much as I would like Nigeria to somehow survive and thrive as the pride of the black man, FACTS ON GROUND, and my Christian faith discourage me. When people like you always talk as if Africans are sub-humans that can only use violence to solve the same problems others in Europe and Asia have solved peacefully, it puts another nail to the dreams of a shared future; at least it tells me that you and I have no business being in one country. Currently, people are dying almost constantly (thousands in some years) just because people like you are threatening more violence should Nigeria disintegrate. IMHO, only Satan supports any system that is sustained by constant shedding of human blood. ndu_chucks, are you Satan? 6 Likes |

Honestly, anyone who cares about the plight of Nigerians should be championing disintegration. The country will never work and that's the honest truth. There are too many things working against the country and its progress. And the fact that there are three major ethnic groups, which are almost as as powerful as one another albeit with different orientation and interests - is one of the major factors working against the country. If you care about Nigeria, then you need to tilt your mindset towards disintegration. The country can break into three - North, South and West - or into four or five, depending on what the people agree on. You lot just need to rid your minds off the fear of the unknown and focus on what you would gain on the long run. Shalom! 7 Likes |

tensor777: Yes, tribalism is different from tribal bias or bigotry. If it is a mere tribalism, whatever is stolen by the aforementioned characters, could be recovered by their people with ease unless they choose not to return home. You must agree with me that Nigeria has become “no-man’s land” and tribal sections are willing to defend one of theirs in the context of corruptive Nigerian lifestyle. Folks from Onanefe Ibori or Dokubo Asari ethnicities would defend them in the context of Nigeria and would have dealt ruthlessly with the characters if they had stolen from thinny Urhobo Republic or Ijo Republic which has meager resources and a burden to defend its borders from aggressive neighbors willing to crush them. Necessity, they say, brings the best out of a human. |

HoldenCaulfield: We The People Of Arewa Are Now Begining To Be Fed Up With All This Threats Of Dividing The Nation, Gej! Organize The Conference Lets Break! Eat Your Oil, We Are Tired Of All This We Are Not Afraid Of It No More. Haba! Think Of All Of This Workers In Our Companies, Banks, Hospitals, And Other Government Agencies Are Going To Be Replaced By Our People. Think Of The Vast Agricultural Land God Bestowed Onto Us, Think Of The All Those Mineral Deposits We Have Here In Arewa. And Who Told You That There Is No Oil In Arewa? Take Nijer Republic For Instance, We Now Mostly Use There Petrolem Products Here In Kano, Aren't The Largest Oil Fields Found In Desert Areas Of This World, Almost Every State Here In The North Has Different Resource That A Whole Country Can Stand On. We Are Saying It Boldly LETS BREAK AND SEE WHO WILL STARVE. Gej We Want You To Hold The Conference With The Every Intention Of Dividing This Country, And Make It Soon!Now, that's a proper way to go. You wished that your leaders and their elite thinks like you. But unfortunately, they are so drunk on Southern crude oil, that they will even kill you for just saying this to them. Even if you don't have oil, your agro based economy can feed you and feed those with so called oil, because on sundays, their mrs will not fry the stew with crude oil but your onions, then you can sit back and tell them the price. |

rexbuton: if the country divides today, iT is Very possible that host states would lay claims to the assets present in their states especially fixed assets like ports ! An equitable means would have been to analyse the source of the revenue with Which the assets were acquired, then they would be shared on a pro-rata basis. For example, assets acquired in the pre-crude era, would most probably be have been gotten with proceeds from agriculture and mining sectors, So there's is nothing wrong in pushing these things things to those agro centres, it would particularly be possible For movable infrastructure. We would also have to pay attention to depreciation of these assets over time and there would be compensation. Military equipment, vessels, technology could be shared this way. Then For assets acquired in the oil era, the oil producing Areas would receive preference before others, because the advent of oil heralded the death of other sectors. The only exception would be lagos, due to The monies accrued from import duties and tariffs. This is just one option, more to follow... This is the kind of analysis, devoid of tribal sentiments which need to take place for successful non violent separation. Unfortunately, I am not sure that the bigots, the greedy, and the racists among us will allow that exercise to be carried out in good faith. I invite others to continue from where you left off. Kudos buddy. 1 Like |

As long as one Nigeria controlled from one source exist, every segment will always defend their own, irrespective, especially those theirs not use to high positions in the past. That's why I ask true Igbos why we don't often have chairmen of our powerful town union embezzling huge amount of our cash in their care, but tolerate or even encourage our sons and daughters in government to steal our collective wealth? |

olabukola: all seaport and airport in Yoruba nation belongs to us. Anything in ur region belongs to you. It's only oil that we sit and talk/negotiate how to share the revenue. National debt also will be shared. Since the north claims higher population they will get high share of the debt. This stance will not get you very far within the national dialoge framework. |

Going our separate ways, surving while having our separate countries as we stay apart should have paid every Nigerian bettter at the long run. Staying together in one Nigeria because of oil and gradully perishing and getting daily dehumanized shows that most of us are people with inadequate thinking faculties. After all, what is still united in a Nigeria which people from the south can not elect to live in the north? |

Eziachi: So what is the difference between the likes of Mike Aikigbe, Magnus Abe of this world and Mr Dokubo with their wealths? Why is the type of stolen wealth by him different from those in govt either in khaki or agbada? Comparing tribal criminals or making some more acceptable than others is what the problem is. Most People who claimed to hate him are not Ijaw, which is the main reason for you to champion his idea of separation, so that you will never had to tolerate him and his life in your own Dokubo free new nation ever again. He will then be a problem only to his Ijaw nation or which ever.Mr man, I've lived in an Ijaw village. So I know what I'm saying. Ijaw people, and Niger Delta as a whole, should start asking their people questions. Until you realize that Dokubo, Tompolo and their likes, not all Niger Deltans, are now comfortable as against the past, you will realize the problem these people are in. How do we describe the situation where those that were never militants benefitted from "generals" given slots to compile lists of ex militants. |
