namdo:Hahahaha..... and in Rivers State, too. We're split into 2 states. Note that Obigbo and Obehie are both Asa. So COVID-19 can sneak in from PH easily. ![]() |
Sammy07:Please don't be carried by the coincidence though: For A.B.I.A really stands for (A)ba (B)ende (I)sikwuato (A)rochukwu. The four major zones of the state, that's all. Religious connotation can bring falsehoods. |
Planes are still flying. See the latest snapshot ..... Just that much more stringent health safety measures, should be in place.

Yenefer:Very Va-Va-Voom !!! |
Mrluv:Honestly, you should be more concerned about the 4G-LTE bands on whichever Nokia you want to buy. Many of them dont even have MTN band 20, talk less of GLO's Band 28. Still Nokia 5.1 Plus (Picture 1), is a notch phone, whilst Nokia 5.1 (Picture 2) isn't.

Quota Commandant Johnny, the yellow peril strikes from Yorubaland again. Everyday you ceaselessly try to cause confusion, yet you always fail. ![]() |
Rasmega:Can you kindly explain where, or whom the call gets to ? Are you certain about this 12-Digit Telephone number ? |
gwafaeziokwu:Hmm...... Are you sure sir, that you're not thinking of the superman "Kiliwe" Nwachukwu ? |
Tobrasky:No, that is not what I heard. A group of them I went to school with, claim to be proper black Scots. |
Afamed:Quota commandant , as usual with all the positive discrimination aids, still doesn't know where a dissertation ought to be used or mentioned. Oluwole double degree holder. |
Afamed:Quota Commandant like you, who loves being fealty to someone without full WASC can talk!!!! |
iammo:You invertebrate of a fool, which stinking cocoa money built University of Ibadan ? Why must you over-lie all over the place. You deserve to be kicked left, right and centre, blue-black. The British, yes , your effing colonial masters ruled Nigeria until 1960, and every major national institution was built and run on merit by them. UI was one, until your grubby tribal politics reared its scratchy head. Oh, that's why University of Ife came to be. Even this most respected "free accommodating Yoruba man" owned Nairaland owes its survival on Traffic of published stories, true and false stories especially sensationalised just by adding Ibo, Igbo or Ipob to the headings ..... and Nairaland's owner is smiling and his bank happier with him. The only problem I notice here is that those who like to bash others, generally dont like to bashed. Tough luck and Good luck. |
Cunning Man Die, cunning man buryam Cunning Man Die, cunning man buryam..... |
Officialgarri:Hear this undisputed tribal jingoist wishing for reflected glory. Were the doyen to be in the news for some notoriety in the same South Africa, this very OP would have been setting off yellow shouts and screams of her Igboness. |
solmus:Poor Yorick...... It is actually yours he really stood on. Take heart, eh. |
And when the spirit finally gets into your groove, here's how moody you could get..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wriCdgtHJ_M |
AceRoot:Weird, but self correction must be made here: I searched and found out that I was wrong about The Yoruba officer commissioned as being the the first graduate of the Nigerian Army. Ojukwu remains the first. And the Yoruba officer graduated first, but from Cambridge though !! That officer was Rtd. Gen. Olufemi Olutoye and I apologize for not knowing of his of meritorious service as the first Nigerian Director of Army Education. He also said I made a lot of friends in the military. There was Emeka Ojukwu, who was a very good friend. I remember I visited him at Oxford University when he was graduating. I was then already a graduate doing post-graduate studies at Cambridge University and I went to visit fellow Nigerians who were also at Oxford University. I met Ojukwu there only to discover later that we would meet again in the Army. He tells his story here: https://allafrica.com/stories/201805060019.html |
Duru1:Yes, I was wrong about the seniority and the the universities and you mainly right, but hear from the Rtd. General, Olufemi Olutoye I made a lot of friends in the military. There was Emeka Ojukwu, who was a very good friend. I remember I visited him at Oxford University when he was graduating. I was then already a graduate doing post-graduate studies at Cambridge University and I went to visit fellow Nigerians who were also at Oxford University. I met Ojukwu there only to discover later that we would meet again in the Army. Read his interview here: https://allafrica.com/stories/201805060019.html |
gidgiddy:Please note that this is not true at all. A Yoruba officer who had finished from Oxford before Emeka had the honour of being the first graduate to join the Nigerian Army. Sadly the gentleman joined the Education Corps of the Army and never became famous or infamous. I wish I could remember his name though. |
FlyoruB:Hahahaha........ you just unwittingly helped me make it even clearer. Even to his ardent or blind supporters, Mr Kanu is revered and akin to a god, thus the pictures aptly align with "Prayers or receiving blessings are exempts" as I concluded. The followers can be wrong and blinded but don't be vexed about it, for it can never be your effing business. |
FlyoruB:Funny dude and funny spin to hit below the belt, as ever. But Senator Abaribe said “The Igbo man doesn’t KNEEL for anybody except his Chi”. ‘Chi’ is an Igbo word for ‘a god’. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/01/igbo-man-does-not-kneel-for-anybody-abaribe-replies-presidency/ The Igboman will bow as a mark of worthy recognition rather that just respect. BUT not KNEEL. Prayers or receiving blessings are exempts. |
chiemmanuel:Please do tell me some more about this live General, for it sounds more realistic than the Boko Haram, who according to the ultra-lite General and his lot have ceaselessly assured us that Boko Haram are defeated and holds no territory. |
Blue3k:Sometimes as I read about this other much touted air-marked semi-coastal rail, I wonder why it is not to first start from the CALABAR end. |
Here is an excerpt from Awo's diary: ---------------------------------------- "I will let my Diary for 3 August speak briefly here. (1) Crossed the prison gate into freedom at 7.56 a.m. (2) Plane took off from Calabar at 8.30 a.m. (3) Arrived Ikeja airport at 9.32 a.m. (4) Saw Gowon at his Headquarters. (5) Returned to Ikenne alone in triumph. At this juncture, it is of interest to narrate the nature of Ironsi’s proposed release as it was disclosed to me after my actual release. The plan was to take me to Ikoyi prison until it was judged safe to set me free. A cell had been prepared for me there which contained extra facilities . If I did not like the place, I could be placed under house arrest at Ikenne. If I wanted to travel abroad, every facility would be afforded me to do so. That was why my intended release was not announced, even though a plane had been dispatched to Calabar to bring me to Lagos. Until negotiation with me on the above lines had been concluded, Ironsi’s team did not want the public to know that I had been transferred back to Ikoyi prison or to my house under house arrest, with my own consent." ------------------------------ Read more here: https://www.nairaland.com/1932621/released-awolowo-prison-ojukwu-gowon |

Find a reputable university and apply to read PHYSICS. Single Honours!!. And if you are versatile as you should be, you can dabble to your heart's content. Oh, lest I forget; with or without help, delve into opensource computing i.e LINUX or UNIX in a big way. Linux especially, is completely free In other words, Physics is the chassis, Mathematics is the fluid and Computing the shape and contour. |
Ebenezar2020:LAI MOHAMMED. Happy new lies. |
but Ikpeazu could have done better.
Abi Ebonyi no be igboland?
