We talk am!

We were expecting a comment from the enemy of the country on this thread. but we never knew it's gonna come up so soon.

Arresting Doctors that will do anything fraudulent to make money is something bad to you right?

But why do good news such as this make you people so sad and unhappy?!
Are you wailers always like this 24/7 of the day?

This is the only problem we have with children of hate, perdition and frustration.
They never support anything good.
Wailing is in their DNA.
Knocks!




Thanks for lecturing them patriot.
goldencheese, guess you have learnt something today?


Whatever happens to ICPC or is the commission dead ?

I am nonpartisan, unlike you I respect everyone I meet, because in everyone I meet can be a drop of wisdom, genius, kind word, helping hand and money in exchange for my services.

Dont worry about me. It's my people that is being said to have won global accolades from the dance.
But I will still feel happy even if it were any other Nigerian tribe.
My worry is when anyone feel comfortable showing venom such as calling another countryman an enemy. Is it because of party affiliations? Or tribe? Religion?
You can teach that child by example rather than by venom.

Go to page one and read and stop jumping into issue that you know nothing about.
Leave the boy that misquoted us to answer to our reply and stop putting your neck and mouth in issue you don't know the genesis.
It's very dangerous.
You better change if this is the same way you behave in real life situation, putting your mouth in what you dont know anything about.
Many people are in jail for that as we type.
Stop typing trash and accusing people wrongly.
Goldensheese has brought you confusion,

Be guided.

MKPOKITI DANCE
Does that Ring a bell!?

Mkpokiti dance was founded in 1959 by late Chief Festus Okoli Nwankwo of Ugwunano village of Umunze in Orumba local government of Anambra state.

In 1970, all the states of the Nigerian federation were summoned in Lagos to celebrate the end of the civil war. Among the programmes lined up for the celebrations was the cultural dance competition from all the states. A cash prize of 3,000 British Pounds and a gold gong were prizes for the first place in cultural dances. The competition started from villages to the divisions and to the states. From village level to the national stage, Mkpokiti secured first position and won the coveted gold gong and cash prize in Lagos.

This stimulated other dance groups in the country with the result that in 1971, many dance groups registered for the competition. The final competition for the year took place in Ibadan and Mkpokiti maintained the lead.

In 1972 – 1973 in Kaduna, the case was the same. Since inception, the Mkpokiti dance group has never obtained a second position in any competition. Formerly, Anambra state government chose Mkpokiti as its state dance but after the continuous clinching of first position in national competitions, the federal government adopted Mkpokiti as a national dance. Mkpokiti represented the federal government in FESTAC ’77 at Lagos. In New York, Washington, Jamaica, Barbados, Brazil, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Port of Spain, and England, Mkpokiti dance has been exhibited as the greatest cultural dance in Africa.

The Satinsheen Company under the management of Miss Franca Afebua took Mkpokiti dance to a global competition in Wembley, England. All the groups competed in Oxford University, England. As expected, Mkpokiti dance secured the1st prize there and carried the World Cup back to Nigeria.

The federal government has taken Mkpokiti dance group to ALL THE PARTS OF THE WORLD except Australia. The achievements made in these travels including winning the World Cup multiple times even in New York, Algeria and North Korea a few years ago rightly crowned the legendary Mkpokiti dance of Igbo people the great.

You sound proud and arrogant.
Easy to pass judgement behind the comfort of your phone (I also hope it is not the case in real life).
Public space educate/influence people whether you agree or not. Name calling has brought us where we are today. There are better ways of addressing issues.

What business is the tin you quoted doing?
Both of you are basically the same specie.

It will really do you a lot of good in this life if you will be patient for just ONE MINUTE before you reply a thread or make decisions in the outside world.
You jump to conclusion too easily without thinking twice.
Which we know you do in the real world also.
You do this almost everytime here.
Becareful, it is DANGEROUS!
It has cost some people good things in life,
and some even death.
We pray this won't be your portion in life.
Just Becareful.

This is only for you.
So you know what we are talking about.
We pray you change before it gets too late.
Goodnight kid bro.
