As much as we can all agree that Mr Igbokwe is an idiot, nobody has the right to banish him anywhere. My only prayer is that he takes his message to Onitsha like Reno Omokri sugested, so that we'll see the result.

I did traditional wedding some months ago now i learnt that any single quarell my wife tells her people. Now this brings resentments btw her siblings and me.

My mum and siblings some times send her stuff and she never calls to say thanks. We planning our white wedding now. We argue at every thing and she never sees shes wrong. Im always hurt. She is from a rich island home...im not doing so badly but am average sha but things havent been moving so well. Does she miss her fathers house? shud i still go on...well iv done trad sha....never knew marraige was like this... i miss my bachelorhood so much

Did you guys not court before getting married and did you not see theese signs but ignored them. Yes, you married a really bad wife and your life is going to be hell for the next few days. She has only started. She's one of those people that will bring her family for a fight. If it's possible to run, my brother remove your slippers and run as far as you can. Don't listen to the "for better or for worse". Embrace "For worse for go".

One of the worst aviation ministers ever.

A Ghost President that is working tirelessly than an ineffectual thing that was there for 6 years??

It beats me how you people make statements such as this with a straight face.

No, it's not.

MayorofLagos:
Thank you my brother!

He dropped off, I was setting a trap for him to walk into and then lock him in but he must have sensed my mischief and abandoned the argument.

Taking Onitsha as central, there are kings in the four cardinal directions as you go North into Igala, South into Ijaw, East into Wawa and West into Bini.

The rituals of coronation and court protocols have cognates only in the Westerly direction. The first kingdom where you find exhibit of commonality with Onitsha coronation rites is Agbor. Next is Ika. The paraphernalia of throne and regal authority in Agbor is consistent with that of a first class Bini war Chief. I suspect Agbon is what is corrupted to Agbor, in like manner that Orisha was corrupted to become Onitsha. In the case of the Obi, his ancestors were Priests of Bini, hence the Orisha cognomen.

In the case of Dein, his ancestors were War Chiefs of Bini, hence the totem of Agbon.

No where else, North, South, East, we find articles of coronation in Onitsha to match with that of a neighbouring monarch.

Agbon is wasp and the totem of warrior chiefs. If they are cavalry their totem is Agbo, the ram!

Wasp is adopted as symbolism for those who are master archers, their crafts is bow and arrow.
It flies, it carries feathers and it stings....just like the wasp!

Ram is adopted as symbolism for those who are fearless, they rush in with impulsive energy and only think later after the deed is done, they ride on horse back and charge forward with speed to deliver deadly blows....just like the temperament of a ram, an animal on four legs bearing horns that deliver fatal strikes.


These goons think they know history. I bring history google is yet to discover, and I show convincing proof.

You're just busy speaking english all over the place. My assertion stands.

Spiricoco:
If the cracking of jokes is used to communicate God's words to the congregation it's not bad as it would be a form of preaching. Not that they will come to church and be mocking Christianity,pastors and God's words in His own house again like they often do at their comedy shows.

What they d mostly is to mock the relgion.

MayorofLagos:
Its on record that your Obi derived his power from Benin. You can dispute and revise it and position it in any ethnic color you like....if you like sef call him Jewish King, still....the stool he sits on came from Benin.

MayorofLagos:
Under Federal Character, YES!
Under customary rites he is not.

Tell yourself whatever you like. You can't tell Igbos who they are just like i can't tell you who you are.

Nigeria is divided into ethnic groups and every ethnic group has different traditional rulers and as much as the Ooni of Ife is more prominent than the Obi of Onitsha, his kingship does not cross Yorubaland. No non Yoruba traditional ruler is obliged to pay homage to him. Only Yoruba obas can do that. That's how Nigeria is. Don't try to change it with your warped machinations.

MayorofLagos:
Obi of Onitsha is under the sovereingty of Benin.

Amongst the sixteen sovereingties created by Ife, Benin is one of them.

Obi of Onitsha is subordinate to a lower Crown heirarchy of Ile Ife.

You are mixing traditional Imperial Sovereingty with federal character artificially created by Nigerian rulers to balance distribution of power.

How many sovereingties has the stool in Onitsha created in its history? Answer that logically, not emotionally, if you can.

The length that people go to support their stupid point...Sovereignty of Benin ko, democracy of Ife ni.

Like i said, the Obi of Onitsha is an Igbo king and has nothing to do with Oba of Benin or Yoruba Monarchy. If the Oba of Benin accepts that he's under the Ooni, that's his business, but no Igbo king has anything to do with any monarchical system outside Igboland.

MayorofLagos:
In heirarchy of Obaship and protocol of honor, Ooni has tarnished his stool.

Dont blame Oba Akiolu.

In normal order Ooni is supposed to be seated. Obi should get up and go pay him homage. Akiolu should get up and go pay him homage.

I wonder if as prince Ojaja II was groomed on sovereingty and what the Ooni crown stand for.

Have you ever seen Alaafin walking over to shake and hug with subperiors? Akiolu dare not treat Iku Baba Yeye like that....he will receive a calabash with parrot's egg in it before next sunrise. He knows!

Dont blame Akiolu, ask why Ooni is distributing handshakes and hugs and high fives to his subordinates.

You must be high on cow dung if you think the Obi of Onitsha will pay homage to the Ooni when the Ooni is not hosting him. The Ooni is not higher than the Obi because they're from totally different ethnicities. Now, the Oba of Lagos is a different issue considering that he's from the same ethnicity as the Ooni and according to Yoruba oral tradition the Alaafin of Oyo Ooni of Ife is the highest in rank.

Yes, they offer hosting and maintenance. you only need to edit the impressively perfect template that best fits your business and publish on their domain. They also take responsibility for maintenance. you should briefly check it out; wix.com

I'm fully aware of wix.

Btw, is it a corporate website you want to setup?

67k per year? While will they be charging yearly for something that's not recurring except they're offering other services such as Hosting and site maintenance. Can you be a little bit more detailed?

Emassive:
He didn't make any sense unless you are gay also. This is Nigeria and Richard isn't coming to stay here to be gay for our kids to see his lifestyle. Grow sense

You're an emasive idiot. I don't know if your kids will be in the private rooms of gays to see their lifestyles. What a slowpoke.

salford:
if in lagos and someone mentioned he is from idi oro or akala before a fight. he would likely stab you with a bottle before you say jack.

Or maybe he will be hoping that you will think that he will stab you with a bottle in order to get you scared.

lepasharon:
Do they eat the eyeballs too?

There's nothing Nigerians don't eat. I used to eat the eye of chicken until recently i had to rethink my life and i stopped

frosbel2:
Think Mr - Use your brain and analyse what I just said - Biafra in it's current state of affairs is a PIPE DREAM.

The only thing to analyse is how stupid you are, which i won't bother to do because that will take me a lot of time.

Ohh, frosbel, i remember you. You're the dude who used to ask a lot of religious questions in religious section. I also remember how you used to claim being Igbo and have been rebuffed on several occasions in the past.

frosbel2:
Wrong. I am referring to a great number of celebrated prominent Igbos who are nothing but arrant crooks parading as respectable statesmen and who have imposed immense suffering on the Igbos. Also, the most despicable 'get rich by all means ' syndrome plaguing our youth who are almost willing to do anything to make money fast.

Aren't we saying the same thing? Are you not a youth? Is kidnapping or armed robbery your area of specialty?

There's a saying that goes thus "Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere". When this same oba made the lagoon statement, a lot of his kinsmen came out to hail him and agreed with his verbal vituperation. The thing with supporting an evil person at a moment because it favours you is that the same evil person will come for you in due course.

What this Oba of Lagos has just done has shown that he is not refined. He has so much bitterness in his heart and i won't be surprised if he has done a lot of jazz in his lifetime. Judging the fact that he is a ex policeman, i'm not surprised.

I've been indifferent about this Ooni of Ife but this singular act has made me like him and i hereby pronounce him as my favorite traditional ruler in Nigeria. I like the way he handled himself.

frosbel2:
Is your father a scammer ??

It's a germaine question because you just referred to all of us as criminals, kidnappers, drug dealers etc and since you claim to be Igbo, your family members must be full participants in the Igbo way of life. Don't you think so? Except you family is the only different Igbos which will make you a moronic dingbat.

mayorb4real:
i see nothing bad with comedy in church......we are youth, i just dont like the fact that some comedians overdo....let them just be mindful that church should be church

I'm not really a religious person but i agree with the pastor 100%. As much as i'll like to see comedians perform in church every sunday, i think it's very wrong for comedians to crack jokes in church especially using the scripture to do so. The fact that we're youths does not mean anything goes, they can as well bring 50 cent to rap for us because we're youths. Church is a religious place where religious activities take place. I mean things that glorify God and i don't see how comedy fits in. If you want to have fun, go to a club or AY live, don't use the church as your center of entertainment.

Your idea is not amazing afteral else you won't be scared to lose your job.

Pidgin2:
Nigeria is cool, I'm not being patriotic, I'm saying the truth.

You're being overly patriotic and you're simply lying. You need to travel out to see how better things are and stop deceiving people here. When beauty is being discussed as far as African cities are concerned, no city in Nigeria is ever mentioned. Not even Abuja.

There's a lot that can be learned. But one thing that stands out for me is that he is a politician.

Firstly, the process of fighting and winning battles has or takes more psychological dimension than the latter part of doing it in reality. Whether it's just a verbal or physical fight, you must first win psychologically otherwise you've lost. Stereotypes are also real, ask the legendary Chinua Achebe or Muhammed Ali. Someone touting the name of his area is just trying to draw urgent attestation from the indomitable reputation of the environments surrounding his upbringing or current living. They're basically telling you to look at the dangerous place they've survived to understand that they won't give in to you very cheaply. The reason most people would mention anywhere irrespective of the fact that they're not renowned for harm is because, danger, difficulties and unprecedented struggle for survival lurks almost in every corner of the Nigerian society. Nobody has it rosier anymore. The pains and victories have gone round, less people have it safer and saner.

You couldn't have said it any better.

frosbel2:
Until my Igbo family stop their mass greed for money at the expense of decency and human life, Igbo land can never be united.

Armed robbery, fraud, kidnapping , ritual killings, brother hatred against brother, exploitation and all manner of abominations are not signs of a nation ready to form or become united. It is a huge joke.

How can we form Biafra when we do not get on with each other, when we celebrate wealth acquired through scamming and drugs and mock and step on our suffering brethren.

Its a huge joke.

Is your father a ritualist?

This is one hell of a funny story...but i think the Actress is right on this one. How you go collobi isi ewu raw material and expect to be paid. You smoke?

This lady hasn't told us why she's putting her husband through pain.

hedonistic:
Anyone who is cursed with a thieving instinct does not apply reason when the urge to steal comes. The urge is overpowering, and erodes common sense.

That sounds about right because i've always thought that if i ever considered stealing as a career path. It will take me months to plan a single thieving event and due diligence will definitely be applied. And one of my modus operandi will be never to steal on impulse. Even if i see 1 billion naira by accident, i won't steal it. But criminals of these days just don't reason.

I won't be surprised if Davido picks the next gubernatorial form in osun state. Nigeria has become a joke like that.

Ehen, bros kayode don jump on this one. I'm sure if APC does a prayer vigil titled "Sending satan back to hell", Fani Kayode will write an article titled "Why they sent satan back to hell".

Extrazee:
Please, take some money and buy sense.
He explained in details, but you're too ignorant to understand.

The guy is an idiot, that's why i refused to engage him anymore. He's good at what he does, being stupid.
