Is there anything like Edo language?

dexmond:
It has nothing to do with education. I pray the Aregbesolas of osun, and the tebliques roaming all over the place will not bring us to north situation.

Back up your statement with facts! It's well known that Muslims in the South are proportionally more educated than those in the North. It's also a well known fact that the avenue for extremism via influence from Niger, Chad and Mali is more common in the North. You now add those factors in with a drastically more income deficient society and the rest is history!

damocool:
that's not 100%true about the Muslim in the West , have came across some people in the West (Ado ekiti precisely)who have the tendencies to kill in the way they talk,react to minor issues .. I know they will like this news on seeing it..

Have you actually seen any of them kill? I'm not talking about one or two isolated incidents but rather a pattern of violence and blatant disregard for the law!

Want to know why things like these don'treally exist in the South even tho we have Muslims in the South? It's simple,when you mix poverty,illiteracy and fear with religion, you breed extremism. 80% of all Muslims in the North are inherently intolerant not because of Islam but because their religious and community leaders continue to preach hatred in their hearts. They are taught to see other religions as the reason for their poverty just the same way blacks here in America blame everything on racism. The solution is not eradication of Islam but true law and order, in a sane society those who committed the act are sentenced to life or the death penalty, be it Christian or Muslim if you injure or killbe prepared to face the law. So all those bashing Islam and all those supporting the actions of the perpetrators, receive sense!

If you are ignorant about something you don't make conclusions.

She had ovarian cancer and YES IT CAN BE CURTAILED IF NOT TOTALLY CURED.

Currently, the standard treatment for Stage IV ovarian cancer consists of both surgery and chemotherapy. Unfortunately, less than 10% of patients experience long-term survival following standard treatment. This is because Stage IV ovarian cancer is difficult to completely remove with surgery and the currently available chemotherapy is unable to eradiate all of the remaining cancer but can prolong the patients life and improve overall survival.

I think you are both saying the samething but from different perspectives, check the survival rate of ovarian cancer at stage 4 and you'll reach the conclusion that majority turns out to be terminal. The ones that survive are rare and requires more money than the little that was raised for her surgery.

Mr. Twister, please we are primarily talking of possibility here, not about whether or not it is healthy.

The fatter you are, the faster you lose weight when you diet [or exercise]. Some can safely lose even 1.5 kg per week; it all depends on their initial weight.

The story also says she takes lots of protein; I am sure you know the relationship between muscles and protein.

It is possible.

Stop confusing yourself, you don't want to talk about health yet you make definitive statements like, "Some can safely lose even 1.5kg per week". She can take all the protein in the world, if she's losing 1.2kg per week over a period of 9 months without exercise she's definitely starving herself and losing muscle! Even those with heavy exercise routine cannot keep up that consistency of weight loss without the help of supplements.

charlsecy:
That was what I was telling @calabaman; when it comes to weight loss, dieting is king.

Losing 45 kg in 9 months means shedding approximately 1.2kg per week. Nothing is strange about that especially in view of the fact that the fatter you are, the more rapidly you lose weight if you diet. The story if highly believable and possible.

Loosing 1.2kg per week without exercise is not healthy, let's not give people false information here! When you lose that amount of weight in such a short period of time, you not only lose fat but muscle mass also; as people get older loss of muscle mass can lead to weaker bones and acute arthritis.

In 9 months she lost 45kg which equals about 100 lbs without exercise. This is ridiculous and practically impossible, we are talking of a weight loss ratio of 11 lbs per month. Now I could believe 20, 30 and even 40 lbs in 9 months but without surgery, exercise or help from weight loss/appetite control pills, there's just no way!

This just needs to stop! Now we've gone from she can't enter to she entered wearing luxury items. This is madness, if we must criticize let's criticize the state of the economy and Buhari's promises to Nigerians. This is just mere distraction taking us away from the real issues at hand!

Ugosample:
Don't get my point wrong....
What you listed up there are good values.

I'm talking of the extreme cases......
Like feeling you have the right to treat your wife as shit (many men from Nigeria have no problems with this, we both know that)

Deliberate misbehaviour (We know we are all human and we make mistake, but doing things anyhow, because you feel your wife can not do shot is 19th cemtury thinking)

And the list goes on.

He/She who does not value family should not get married )

Agree! What I believe causes instances of such abuse in Nigeria is the fact that women go into marriage thinking the men are the sole providers and fully contented to be a liability. It is human nature to become frustrated at one point or the other. This is why I partially agree with some principles of feminism as long as it is done in moderation.

Ugosample:
I think the major problem with we Africans, who live in western countries is that there is this socio cultural expectation(s) that was ingrained in us, about how a man/woman should act/behave etc, and because it is in contrast with the liberal societal expectations of the West, then it causes friction.

Let like minds marry each other biko

If your brain and expectation is still stuck in the 19th century, then you know what to do
.

If believing in the concept of respecting your husband or wife, honor and loyalty, the self integrity of being a provider, being head of the household and playing your God given role is 19th century thinking then we Africans are so lucky!

Would you rather get sprayed $1(350 naira) at a party or collect 500 Naira? Nigerians still falling for the dollar hype

I don't know about any other country but the U.S is a demonic country that ends up sucking the life out of most men at the same time make women power hungry. Due to the feminist theory, the democrat controlled government tries really hard to over compensate for what they termed as injustice. From women's rights to gay rights,real men are no longer seen as a priority. To illustrate consider the rankings:

1. White Women
2. White Male
3. Asian and Hispanic females
4. Asian and Hispanic males
5. Black females
6. Black males.

The above illustrates the real problem black males face in the U.S. A country with shows like real housewives of L.A or Atlanta, Dr. Phil, Oprah and so on. Men are learning to accept their role as number 2 in the house while women are encouraged to take control. This to an African man is a taboo. Imagine not being able to rely on your wife to cook you a good meal or not being able to give your parents or siblings money without getting permission from your wife. Imagine not being able to have an argument with your wife without her calling the police and getting you kicked out of your own home. Our African brothers believe those women back home though they are not perfect are still respectful of the society and traditions to be humble. Of course this theory is not perfect as we have seen a lot of guys coming back home to marry women related to lucifer but as an African man the reward outweighs the risks!

On Aisha Buhari's Reported Visit To The USA..

Called the United States Institute of Peace in Washington DC, they have no Itinerary schedule for Aisha Buhari. The phone number is 202-457-1700. When in doubt, you satisfy your curiosity, I just did. And there is no event going on RIGHT NOW at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington involving Aisha Buhari. Their last event was held on the 28th of July.

Even Toyin Saraki was hosted by the Obamas when she visited the US, yet Aisha Buhari was never hosted by the Nigerian ambassador to the US not to talk of the Obamas. Who are these people deceiving?

Even the wife of the smallest country in the world would have been hosted by Michelle Obama. No media house here in the US has carried her visit despite being the wife of the president of the most populous country in Africa.

There is United States Institute of Peace and the VoA in almost every country so this photo and her VoA interview do not tell us anything about her location, and the angle of the camera in all the photos released are very intentional and thus suspicious.

I refuse to be deceived by the APC spin doctors and I dare say Aisha Buhari did NOT visit the USA.

Stop deceiving yourself. There's no how you called there and expect them to reveal information about their guests. Tell me exactly what you said, was it something like: " Hello , I like to know if you received the first lady of Nigeria(Aisha Buhari) at one of your events recently?". Stop acting silly, how many first ladies actually visits the U.S? It is very rare for media houses to carry such news even if it did occur. I dare you to prove me wrong, show me a CNN or FOX news piece on a country's first lady being in the U.S, show me!

In the world we live in, Hillary sounds more appealing because she's the candidate of politically correct, food stamp pumping, keep small nations in debt and destabilize the middle east candidate. She's also the gay friendly, feminist pushing big government champion. Hillary's plans sounds appealing till you realize she has no plan to bring the national debt down, no plan to curb illegal immigrants, no plan to stop violence except take guns away from people who want to defend themselves against the mental half of the USA. Trump on the other hand is a loud mouth buffoon with years of business experience and a master in making deals. He is the candidate able to bring American debt down and make the country safer. Under Trump, America will be respected but unfortunately he's not willing to suck up to the mainstream media and the powers that be. He's a billionaire and his billionaire mentality has made him arrogant but make no mistake he's shrewd, calculating and would put America back as number 1 if only he would learn to shut his damn mouth!

RichYoungNigga:
We don't take the American government serious.
The most ignorant people on earth are Americans.

You can go to Iraq or Afghanistan, stay for 50 years and still be alive.
You can't live for 4 days in Chicago.
Chicago is not even a state, Chicago is just a city in Illinois but every year 500 people alone are murdered, you can't go to someone else's street in the USA, you will be killed.
The murder rate of Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington put together is higher than every country in this world yet the U.S government will not talk about it, they keep calling other countries "security threats"

I get your point but your statistics are skewed. The cities you mentioned are densely populated so they should only be compared to densely populated areas in Nigeria, compare Chicago and Lagos State and you would realize more than 500 people are killed each year in Lagos. Compare LA and Wahington D.C to Borno or Benue and you would get the same result. We shouldn't blame the American government for valuing the lives of their citizens, it's not too much if the Nigerian government did the same for Nigerians around the world.

Spectre007:
Important things,like what and what? Pls xplain in details.

Important things like my financial status, where I stayed in Lagos and so on.

If Cultists are determined to get you, there's nothing that can save you except for the grace of God. You can follow some stupid rules or list all you want but what will be will be. I survived 5 years of O.O.U not by being a robot but by making alliances. I dined with the best and worst of them, I did not judge them but was free. I allowed them to know enough about me but never revealed the most important things. Little things like helping out during exams, helping a brother or sister out when he or she was broke. Little things like those kept me safe when trouble came. I was always in the know, I was warned if there was going to be an attack and never for once did I pass my boundary. Of course even with all that, I was safe not by my might but by his grace!

This is the reason why a certain tribe will continue to be marginalized till thy kingdom come! It's not because they are not hardworking or brilliant, no not at all; it's because of the hatred in their hearts and their over aggressive nature towards their countrymen. How anyone can support a statement from a psychopathic dog still amazes me!

People just made comments for the sake of commenting, most people here cannot comprehend what they read. 4000 killed since 2010 till now shows one thing, you cannot put all the blame on Buhari. If the herdsmen theory is true then GEJ is equally complacent. Furthermore, those shouting ethnic cleansing, bigotry and so on should please shut up, are we to believe since 2010 herdsmen have been killing in Kaduna and other Northern areas and GEJ allowed it because it's ethnic cleansing or Buhari continued it because he's a bigot? Are we to believe that this group existed side by side with Boko Haram without conflict? I laugh at you all because even the educated ones have allowed sentiments to cloud their judgment!

You are a bloody spammer and in my opinion you should be banned for a year!

Just because that particular embassy had no light does not mean all Nigerian embassies in the U.S are in debt. I was just at the Atlanta embassy and everything works perfectly. There are many issues that could lead to lack of electricity such as damaged power lines, damaged electrical wiring or maybe that particular embassy is being shut down due to low patronage. If it is in fact due to debt then the embassy should be closed indefinitely!

CFCman:
In the swing states, trump is polling at exactly..0% among Blacks

Lol let's give him a little credit maybe 0.5 to 1%

Ugosample:
Blacks are 8% of the voting populace?

you sure?

Yes, Blacks are only 13% of the population and the amount that actually vote is only 30% of that.

MetaHuman:
Lmao

16% Muslim or you mean plus the war veterans? Last time I checked, war veterans still support trump and he is still leading madam clitoris

16% Muslims plus Veterans. Check the polls again, Clinton ;leads among females 4-1, she leads among Blacks 10-1, among Hispanics, 10-1, among White educated females 8-1 and among educated white male 6-1. Before Trump's latest insults 4 days ago, Clinton held a 4 to 6 point lead among likely voters, I wonder what the polls will show at the end of the week?

Trump will never be president. In fact I believe Trump was hired by Hillary just to destroy the Republican party. Think about this,

Who can speak against:

1. Women (54% of the voting populace)
2. Blacks (8% of the voting populace)
3. Hispanics (10% of the voting populace)
4. Muslims and just most recently Veterans and Prisoners of War(16% of the voting populace). Who can speak against these group of people and expect to win a U.S presidential election. It's just not possible!!!

It's all a scam, crooked Hillary is the next president!!!!

Wake me up when the topic shifts back to economic policies, employment and security. If Buhari likes he can appoint everyone from Duara into his cabinet, as long as they perform I could care less. What has federal character done for us? It has brought us nothing but corruption. Under GEJ, your ethnicity did not matter. You can be Igbo, Ijaw, Hausa or Yoruba corruption is not stealing. Abeg carry on Buhari, if you like appoint your daughter as Minister of Defense, all well thinking Nigerians want to see is PROGRESS!!!

We can't all be BEAST at everything! Some people are good in bed, while others are good using their intellect. The girl even admitted it happened when Messi was much younger, you can tell by his gentle nature that he is not the flamboyant type. Messi is filthy rich and a worldclass footballer, I would gladly accept that in exchange of being average in bed

DICKtator:
Are you sure that the guy would be the only one culpable? Hope you know that for such loan with a huge amount, it would still need approval from the regional manager or director?. I don't know of any bank manager that has an approval limit of 350million. And even if he did, other management team would have been involved and would have given their approval.even such loan/money are always insured and collaterized .I believe there is more to this story than meet the eyes.

I agree there's definitely more to the story, obviously there are levels of authority the loan must be channeled through but most managers are able to influence the process by offering a personal guarantee. 350 million Naira is a small amount for most of these big banks, I doubt if a director would bother his or herself with such.

NotGej:
Obviously you are not experienced in the way banks operate. Many things could cause the Non performance of credit.

They are processes/ conditions to draw down.

He did not solely approve that credit; they are lines of approvals he must have obtained. Cut the dead some slack.

Fired on the spot you said!! Lolz. If he is fired on the spot na you go come pursue the recovery?

I advice you stick to areas you are experienced in, so as not to come off as a Dundee.

FCMB is complicit in this situation, by way of undue pressure.

You obviously lack experience in the financial sector or risk planning so I will not argue with you. I laugh at some of your comments, gross incompetence is grounds for immediate termination no questions asked. Recovery can be pursued by anybody within the authority to do so at the bank, so stop the misinformation. Unless you want to claim the guy is not responsible for his actions in which case, you do not know what you are talking about!

I still fail to see how FCMB is at fault? 350 million Naira loan, the guy should have been fired on the spot for gross negligence and incompetence. Things like this happens in the finance industry a lot(That's why banks are insured) and most people don't commit suicide over it, there's definitely more to the story!
