Lexusgs430:
We are saying the same thing. Update us after 3 months please.
Thank you

Lmao O boy, work na work oo

I don't see how Oman can be better than Dubai or Quatar and people are finding it really tough in those places.

WOW, this is simply breathtaking. Where exactly did Nigeria get it wrong? With all our money and resources we don't seem to have a city that looks aesthetically appealing.

If Igbo support Atiku for Presidency, it should be on the condition that an Igbo will take over the Presidency after him. Meanwhile, his Vice must be Igbo.

Presidency in Nigeria are negotiated, Ndiigbo need to make a deal with the North East and Central.

Atiku has no problem with an Igbo vice really.

This just goes to show that Rochas has some good in him. He has been lying all along with the hope the government at the center will prove his words to Igbo people but unfortunately the man from Daura doesn't give a flying fvck about Igbo people and Rochas eye don clear and now we expect him to keep saying the truth instead of telling us the opposite of what we already know. I wonder what Abagworo will say about, seeing that he started supporting Buhari and APC because of Rochas.

Atiku really needs this presidency and an Igbo presidency at this point will spoil the show for him. What he has been preaching for a while now is an Igbo VP, with him being the president of course.

milloguy:
Now this are the same guys preaching ipob..Biafra..And so on..I have said it before till we as black men identify the fundamental problem with us..Either we have very low IQ or there's too much self hatred..We will continue to be pests to the world..Now Mbaise people will not let another Igbo man act as bishop and this is in the catholic church then imagine what will happen when we have Biafra..How will an nnewi man lead a position in ABA..It's too disheartening but as an Igbo man I refuse to support any disintegration because strong communities are built on diversity but my people are too blind to see this

I was expecting this from someone and you didn't dissapoint. It's funny how you guys always bring up Biafra whenever there's an issue between Igbos as if every Igbos must agree on one thing to be seen as being united. Show me anywhere in the world where there isn't some form of disagreements. Are you aware that there are non indegenes who are bishops in different parts of Igbo land. The priest of our local church in my village in Awkunanaw is from Imo state. A lot of Anambra priest are scattrered all over Igboland likewise those from imo, Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi. The anglican bishop of Enugu from a Delta Igbo man. So, i don't understand how you'll decide to use a particular event to hide your prejudice. I'm also not a supporter of Biafra, hut i'm not stupid enough to give these silly reasons that you guys always come up with to feed your obsession on how other people think life will be better for them.

If there's one thing i hate hearing, it's this Igbo-Jewish BS. Left for me, anybody that mentions Igbo and Jews in the same sentence should be shot at sight.

Why's peak milk acting like the underdog when they're at the top. Someone should tell those in charge of their social media accounts which level they are.

PapaBrowne:
The apprentice system is in my opinion the most important ingredient of the IBO entrepreneurial success story

I quite agree with you. The apprentice system has changed the lives of families and it seems likethe easiest way for some people to set themselves up. However, i think it has come a time when it needs to be more structured so that some people don't get cheated.

@topic
I think the Igbos have come a long way since they were almost annihilated physically, emotionally, socially and economically during the civil war. I've never met any group anywhere i the world that recovered from a civil war in such a short time. It's unheard of, atleast in this part of the world. I think what has kept Igbos afloat is their never say die spirit. They get rich or die trying.

babyfaceafrica:
Ondo people are more liberal?.. You people don't know what you are saying?... Continue!!!

I'm talking based on my own experience. I know Yoruba people always think Ondo people to be the stubborn ones for whatever reason but i have mingled with Yorubas from all over and Ondo people seem more liberal to me.

I really don't know the intent of the OP but from my own experience i'm inclined to agree with him/her. Ondo people behave more like the people eastwards of them. That is from Edo state. They tend to be lighter in complexion and are more liberal in their disposition. Though there's a saying that Ondo women are stubborn. Don't know how true that is sha.

[b]From my understanding, the difference between an Igbo dialect and an Igboid language would depend on the level of mutual intelligibility between the said dialect under question and other dialects considered under the Igbo dialect continuum. In other words, an Igbo dialect is one which shows little divergence from other Igbo dialects and is mutually intelligible to others, on the other hand, an Igboid language is one that exhibits a high divergence from other 'Igbo dialects' but has a little relationship, such as words or sentence structure, with other dialects under the Igboid umbrella. In other words, Igboid language means 'looks like Igbo but is not Igbo'. Ogba speech form shares similarity to Ndokwa but with more southern influence compared to more 'anambra' influence on Ndokwa. Ordinarily, Ogba should be an Igbo dialect and Ekpeye (akpaohia) would be an Igboid language (it shares some level of mutuality with other Igbo dialects but has significant non-Igbo influence also that would make it stay on its own).

For example, while Onitsha would say, ife oma Nna melu m, Ekpeye would say, iyu uma Ida meni me. In terms of pronunciation, it is exactly alike as other Igbo dialect speakers pronounce the words with the usual inflections, however one could see a high divergence of the actual words of Ekpeye.

My issue with Robinson's classification of 'Igbo language' and 'Igboid language' is that such classification may have been made according to which bia-speaking clan accepts being Igbo or not. For example, while Eche dialect is not much different from Owerri dialect, Owerri dialect is classified as an Igbo dialect and Etche probably as an Igboid language.

To answer your question, Ogba should be an Igbo dialect (based on high degree of mutuality) and Ekpeye an Igboid language.[/b]

No offence but i think all these definitions about the differences between Igbo and Igboid are nothing but balderdash. The reason i say so is that, if we were to go by your definition for example,you'll realize that not every part of the South East will fall into your definition of Igbo dialect. As for the term Igboid, it's just an attempt at political correctness. It's a way of linking the language spoken by Ikwerres or Ogba people to the Igbos of the south-east without calling them Igbo. It's a way of seperating ethnicity from language considering that ethnicity has become more of a political term than a cultural one. Have you heard people from the Ezza/Izzi axis speak their dialect of Igbo? I don't see how it's more intellegible to other Igbo dialect as compared to Ikwerre and co.

I can't believe Drogba is taller than Flavour.

Uber is not more expensive than the regular taxis in my opinion.

Mikylopez:
sure

Never mind..

You're pretty anyways,

@Mikylopez Pls, can i crave your indulgence for a moment.

WOW.

is this the same umuchukwu?

TheGoodJoe:
What is important is discovering if Pere threw a chance to Iheanacho to join his agency. If he did, I think Iheanacho should have signed the deal. Guardiola is talking of staying for a long time and that would have secured Iheanacho's place in the team. However, I do not think Pere would stoop that low to sign Iheanacho who is in court because two agencies claim ownership.


cc: lalasticlala, Mynd44

Just listen to yourself. Isn't this the same corruption that we're trying to fight in Nigeria? How can someone be told to register with a particular agency so that he will have more playing time. If it's true that Kelechi refused then i hail his bravery. I think it's high time he lokked elsewhere afterall, Man city hasn't really been good to him.

christejames:
Good day big bro...

like I promised during the beginning of last month that I will be returning to NSK in about two weeks time and if I had the time I will take some pictures... I actually did..

Sorry this update is coming a bit late. it was due to some unforeseen circumstances. I managed to go to some sites of the government's projects in the evening and was being disturbed with calls from relatives to comeback that it was getting darker... please manage these amateur shots from me.

The second and third pictures are from Ogurugu road; a very busy road in the town. the first and the last are from Odenigbo road. It can be seen that the govt marked these roads and have also erected streetlight posts in these major roads awaiting the fixing of the lamps. The roads also have pedestrian walkway...

Modified: I think I will stick with UC here.. .

Nwanna, thanks for keeping to your words.

From what i can see from the pictures, we have a second city in Enugu state on our hands.. It's just a matter of time before Nsukka explodes. With it being a university town and with these road, constructions, things will definitely change for the better.

seunlayi:
hope it won't be the turn of my native yoruba language with this manace of "my pikin must sabi english at all cost"

Among the 3 major languages, they will disppear in this order. Igbo, Yoruba and hausa. Igbo will definitel be the first to go, followed by Yoruba then Hausa.

@Afam4eva, spambot hold me down since yesterday. I couldn't even finish the match updates here.




Apparently, shooting stars played well and deserved the 3 points.!!! Congratulations!!

Fantastic win for MFM away from home.!

Ifeanyi Ubah FC needed two penalties (missed one, scored one) to beat Rangers!

Oga, sorry oo. I thought as much.

MFM is another team to watch out for. I think they should be second on the log after Plateau. Atleast if they can't win the league, they can escape relegation.

I'm happy for Ifeanyi Uba against my team (rangers). This is not Ranger's season. They should sha escape relegation.

I told you to boil one egg and fry the other one. You went ahead to fry the wrong one. It's over.

Kilo wa sele? ibo ni Havilah93 wa?

See if there's no one else to contest against Buhari in 2019, i don't mind voting for a GEJ if he presents himself. This suffering is too much abeg.

Personally, I Use ADSENSE and NATIVE ADS for monetization.

so what's yours

How is NATIVE ADS when compared to adsense. For some reason google banned my account and i'm looking for a close alternative to adsense.

With the withdrawal of facebook with a protest that he helped organize and popularize leaves us with the question that a lot of people are too afraid to ask? Are Nigerians afraid of Buhari? if they're not then i don't understand how a protest can generate so much fear especially in the minds of the proponents.

I remember during the Goodluck Jonathan administration, people were protesting left, right and center without fear of intimidation (even though they were intimidated a few times) but since Buhari took office, the only groups that i've seen defy the odds are The IPOB groups and the SHITE group and they've had to pay for it dearly. in Buhari's barely two years as president, we have lost hundreds of youths in extra judicial circumstances, mostly from the army and the police.

Is there really a difference between the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari and the regime of General Sani Abacha because they seem the same to me. Buhari is just hiding under the cloak of a democracy to perpetuate fear and intimidation.

I ask, are Nigerian afraid of Buhari?

Match of the week: Ifeanyi Uba VS Enugu Rangers. Let the better team win.
