I was watching a program "Your View" on TVC this morning and they invited an islamic scholar to come and talk about the importance and etiquette of Ramadan. So along the line, an Islamic song was played and it was very different from the typical islamic songs. The musician actually used the beats of Kiss Daniels' song "WOJU" and then used islamic lyrics. The presenters who were mostly Christians were dancing at the song but one particular presenter who was a muslim felt the song was inappropriate because according to her, it doesn't have the ISlamic essence. I really don't know what that means. Now her fellow hosts challenged her that the reason why youths are converting from Islam to Christianity is because they find Christianity much more funky and in tune with the times.

We can all agree that there are more Muslims converting to Christianity than vice versa especially in Nigeria. And it's not necessarily because they think Christianity is the way but because they think it's more liberal and open than Islam. For instance, i want to believe Christ Embassy has more percentage of youths than any church in NIgeria and this is because they allow youths to express themselves to the extent that it become borderline weird the kind of things they do in the church.

Now to my question, should Religion evolve to accommodate modern idiosyncrasies? Do mosques or churches need to be more yuppy to attract youths? Is religion a brand that needs to appeal to every strata of the society? What do you think.

My sister, that man is just a very angry person who doesn't understand the way things work in this era. The reason why issues like Biafra have gained publicity is because of him. Issues that he should have called those concerned together, he will rather send soldiers. It's people like Osibanjo that we need as leaders not because they have the magic wand to change our economic woes but because they have listening ears and not so full of themselves.

Let them try it with Buhari when he comes visiting. He might withhold cross rivers allocation.

Lol... As if Mediums have ever been genuine. The only reliable way to connect with the dead is to die.

GoldCircle:
Its entirely his choice! Na certificate/lawyer him wan marry abi na better wife?

It's really not about the certificate but the lie. How does one lie about something like that to someone you want to spend your life with.

I wonder why people will not master the act of cheating without getting caught.

cococandy:
This is such a belittling statement and I'm disappointed in him and those who support him.
Who tells men to respect their wives in order not to get beaten.
I swear the rampant sexism most Nigerian men are raised with, has all but robbed them of their common sense.
Do you know how many victims of domestic violence walk on egg shells in order not to set the man off yet they still get beaten and sometimes murdered?
Do you how many victims dare not even look in the eyes of the men they married so that they don't appear disrespectful yet their abusers find reason in the way they walk, sit or eat to beat them up?

All of you dummies should fvck out of here with your victim blaming retardedd bullshyt posts.

If you haven't been a victim of oppression don't try to mansplain to those who are going through it what to do to avoid it.
You guys often think you know best. It's a very disgusting attitude.

Stop being emotional about this issue. Nobody is saying that it's right for a man to beat his wife and the actor is not saying that either. The point is that it's the woman who gets the physical injury at the end of the day and as such for her to prevent it, she should respect her husband even when there's no need for it. Some men are crazy. Some would even beat a woman for no just reason. If you have a solution, bring it on.

Lol They were speaking Igbo in episode 2 of American gods.

UjSizzle:
20. The knee variation.

Actually the knee variation is meant for women. With time and consistency, you can cross over.

Their younger sisters are also very good basketball players. Their family is on fire. Ndi Igbo were mmadu.

.

Confusion everywhere.

Nne5:
Lol what're you saying bro?

Your parents and you are clearly tribalists.

I can't believe anyone would write this and say he isn't tribalist.

Nne, the thing weak me oo...the guy just dey speak in tongues since to defend why his parents are not fond of Igbos and everything he says just points to the fact that there's orgy of tribalism going on at his house.

NevetsIbot:
oh I will. Upgrade your demented brain to 2017 too. You're clearly behind in reasoning

I'm not the tribalist here. You're the one needs to leave the 19th century and coe to 2017 where people don't judge others on the basis of their tribe, religion or creed.

NevetsIbot:
nice defensive strategy. Term your igbo girls scammers.

Goodbye bro

Take care. Greet your tribalistic family for me.

Maxi112:
loooolz.... I never said you guys ain't.

next time, edit my handle out, hope you grab?

I'm not from Ebonyi. I just stated what i observed.

NevetsIbot:
Please.... I have your igbo girls sending me inboxes and tripping hard. I could bed any of them in a flash. Something you igbo boys can't do successfully with em. I'd also foot all the yahoo yahoo bride price brought by her igbo parents and add jara untop.

Remember, you started making personal jabs first so..... "And far as marrying an Igbo girl is concerned, i
don't think you'r up to the task. Our girls are
really up there as men from different parts of the
globe are craving for them, so they don't just marry anyone with a prick.''

Check very well, the people that are sending you inboxes are scammers. You better stop deceiving yourself that they're Igbo girls.

Chai. I just tire for this people. They want to hold the country to ransom because of Ramadan. Are we also going to extend the same gesture to people who attend redemption camp if it falls on the same period as a national assignment? I don't know what we're waiting for to expunge religion totally from our national life.

royyaldiadem:
@Maxi112 please explain? I have a few female family members who have married good and respectful families from the east, Imo state and Anambara state both families especially the husband's family were accepting....

Don't mind him. Ebonyi people are probably the most down to earth and humble Igbos that you'll ever meet.

Umuchoke:
I would be lynched if I bring a Yoruba girl home too. They're extremely dirty and they bleach a lot too. My uncle married one from Osun State and she defecated inside a bowl.

My friend stop lying.

NevetsIbot:
I'd say they're apathetic. They want their son to have nothing to do with an igbo lady cos of their bad side.. Not cos of the tribe generally.

If you'd term them tribalists..then you can call meone as well but I'd marry from any other tribe other than igbo

We're saying the same thing. You're all tribalist in your family no matter how you try to sugar coat it. And far as marrying an Igbo girl is concerned, i don't think you'r up to the task. Our girls are really up there as men from different parts of the globe are craving for them, so they don't just marry anyone with a prick.

royyaldiadem:
I am from Southern Kaduna and I am dating a wonderful man from Ebonyi state it is very possible

Southern Kaduna people are pretty much like southerners in my opinion.

NevetsIbot:
nope. They've just seen so much of the bad side of many igbo girls.. Their rudeness,greed and all. Also, two of my uncles married igbo ladies. Should I say the first one had turned her husbands head away from home. Second wife poked mum in the eye three days after the wedding till now.

I had the unpleasant priviledge to see two display for me last month. Very contumacious set of women. They mostly show no iota of contrite at all.

I too wouldnt try to marry an ibo lady.

I think based on what you just described they're tribalists. That's the definition of tribalism. Every tribalist always have one cogent reason in their mind why they're not fond of a particular group.

NevetsIbot:
lol. I'd be tortured to death if i brought an igbo girl home.

Are your parents tribalists?

Yksoul:
TODAY,WE NOW HAVE MORE IGBO MEN MARRYING OUR YORUBA LADIES.WE EVEN ASKED SOME SINGLE IGBON MEN WHO ALSO SAID THEY ARE GOING TO MARRY FROM YORUBA TRIBE.BUT MOST IGBO LADIES NOW REMAIN SINGLES WITHOUT NOBODY TO MARRY WHAT IS HAPPENING PEOPLE?

What load of crap. I've seen more Yoruba men marrying Igbo girls than Igbo men marrying Yoruba girls.

That's the prestigious 1004 flats which occupants are provided with 24 hours electricity etc

igwebuike01:
Sullivan chased Chimaroke out of PDP, you can see that his return is now that Sullivan is out of PDP. We hope he rebuild his Ebeano political movement which Sullivan collapsed and make it strong like the Kwankwasiyya movement in Kano. I believe he will work better with Ugwuanyi because they are both core politicians unlike sullivan

Does this say something about we Igbos though.

In Enugu, Jim Nwobody helped make Chimaroake governor after which Chima abandoned him. Cgimaroake helped make Sullivan, sullivan abandoned him and he left the part. Sullivan helped Ugwuanyi and the same thing happened. Sullivan is now in APC.

In Anambra, Peter left APGA, a party that he used in installing Obiano.

In Abia, Orji Uzor Kalu made Theodoore Orji governor and was abandoned.

The list is endless...So, i'm not sure we can have anything similar to the Kwankwasiyya movement in Kano.

What does he mean by remarrying his wife? Maybe he means that he can't afford his wife to come from another country.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Chimaroke don Waka o.
Hahahahaha

Lol I don't know what some Igbo politicians are looking for up and down. Especiallt those from Enugu because i don't see what they want to achieve with another party in a PDP dominated state. Even APGA that a lot of Igbos have soft spot for have not been able to win Enugu let alone and obscure and unknown party.

AworiLagosian:
The second video from DNAland (Another company) said he was 95% Nigerian from the "Lower Niger Valley"

He came up as Yoruba1 and Esan2 which are roughly respective cognates of his actual ethnic groups (Itsekiri1 and Urhobo2) from Delta.

Yes, i saw that. DNAland is more precise with the ethnic group as opposed to AncestralDNA which focuses n countries and regions. For instance, what do they mean by Benin/Togo?

I saw youtube comments from some Nigerians that did theirs and the test result was always almost 100% Nigeria. Some had 95% Nigerian and 5% Benin/Togo which is understandable due to migrations. Most groups in Nigeria will have a mix of something.

@Aworilagosian
I think the problem with that man's first test is not that it's not correct but the way AncestralDNA did their classification.
