O boy, see mosque. If this kain mosque full Naija, we for don become Islamic republic of Nigeria because me sef go convert

So, what next? He should go and take his place in Banjul abi does he want to rule Gambia from Senegal? Imagine if Buhari had been sworn in Cotonou

Wow. Very beautiful. it definitely looks better than the University of Port-hacourt.

AngelsAndStars:
abeg abeg abeg no joke that kind joke with me. aboki ke

Lol Wetin aboki do you?

toshmann:
No disrespect but Perhaps Aba in the 60s look better than Aba in the 21st century.

Correct me if I'm wrong

Aba of the 60s probably looked better but had less infratructure compared to Aba of today.

CaroLyner:
Rare to see currvy hausa gals

Very rare. That's why Hausa girls don't tickle my fancy despite the fact that they're facially endowed. na face man go chop?

Btw, how did they even know that she's Hausa? is it because she's wearing a burka(or what's it called)? That could easily be a Yoruba girl.

O boy, some African countries just seem far behind. That picture looks like Aba in the 60s.

AngelsAndStars:
hmm I always thought you were igbo. am from Etsako too.

I actually thought you were Hausa.

The UN would have removed him. At the time of the election, A US warship was stationed in Ghana.
If violence broke out, they would intervene just like they did in Libya.

Does it imply that a Nigerian President is too powerful for a coalition of African countries to remove?

It's not really abut Jonathan but about Nigeria. Would a military incursion be taken if a Nigerian president refuses to step down? Like, who will dare? Are they trying to take down Jammeh because they geel that "The Gambia" is a very small country? What possible scenarios would have played out if Jonathan had towed the path of Yahya Jammeh for example.

Pwayne2016:
i can't but i know that of Anambra which is 8 stadiums

8 stadiums? Where are they? What are their names?

Pwayne2016:
My own Opinion




Lagos

Delta

Anambra


Ogun


Rivers


What do you think??

These kind of topics is not open to an opinion but facts. Why not name how many stadiums each states have.

I think Delta state has the highest number of stadia n Nigeria. One of the things Ibori was known for was building of mini stadia in every major town in Delta state.

Ogun state has about 3 stadia.

I only know two stadia in port-hacourt. Liberation and the other one.

Lagos has National Stadium, Onikan, Agege and Teslim Balogun. I'm not sure of the others.

There are actually sensible people from The Gambia. If Yahya Jammeh was from Nigeria, his entire family and those working for him would have told him "NO GREE"

madridguy:
So because they're hustler now you referred them as EDO people if an award is won by them you call them Nigerian living in Italy.

NL mods, you guys need to note this. One Nigeria.

Nigerians can be very terrible people. You're one of the biggest tribalist on the site but because it affects you now, you're shouting one Nigeria.

Abeg na Bini girls, leave Edo out of it

They're our sisters. I'm an Esan like you.

RedboneSmith:
I have lived in Abakiliki for a long time, and I have never started a sentence with "as an Izii man..." No one writes like, except someone who is trying to tell you that that is what he is by tribe. An Ohuhu living in Aba will never say, "As an Ngwa man...", an Echie man in Port Harcourt will never say, "As an Ikwerre man..." What you may hear is "As an Aba boy" or "as a PH boy", indicating ties to the particular city he was raised in. That you did not write "as an Aba boy", but instead wrote "As an ukwangwa" speaks volumes. So that line about you living there a long time blah blah is an attempt at saving face after being caught impersonating. It's okay, we get it. This debate is important to you and you want to win.

But why will an Etche man say "As an Ikwerre man"? What's the relationship? Etchies are not in Ikwerre land even though there was a local government where they were lumped with some parts of Ikwerre land. But that is an artificial creation. An Etche man will say "As an Etche man" or "As a Rivers Man". If he is port-hacourt brought up, he can say "As a Port-hacourt boy" just like anyone frlm any part of the country can lay claim to port-hacourt.

Havilah93:
Almost 8 points deduction in total for Ifeanyi Ubah!

That's really bad for them.

Enugu Rangers gets an away point after throwing away 3 points at home. It's still good. I just hope we improve our home form.

I feel Ifeanyi Uba should be gunning for the league title. I don't know to what extent their punishment will inimical to them winning the league.

And what is wrong with Enyimba?

Where's Heartland? Ohh, relegation.

Why must you guys be criminal in everything you do. Why not allow people that you have provided a service for to review you instead of buying reviews. No wonder the world doesn't want to have anything to do with us.

Urhobo-Isoko Monarchs Walk-Out: Ijaws and Clark Should Apologize To The Urhobo Nation.

In the run-up to the 2015 state elections, the Ohaneze Ndigbo gave the conditions for supporting Jonathan for a second term. The conditions included having an Igbo Governor for Delta. The Urhobo majority only needed internal consensus to elect Great Ogboru as Governor in the 2015 elections or better still Olo

Some from the Anioma axis should tell the Urhobos that it's Anioma not Igbo.

Mikeshine:
We ve been dating for some months now and we are working in the same office but she's not ready to move to the next stage because we are both working in the same office despite the fact our office rules and regulations is not against marrying a colleague. Please house what should I do and how can I convince her that there is nothing to be worried about.
Thanks

It's very simple. Since you guys want to get married, one of you should resign from the office. But if the job is too important to you guys then i don't know why you're asking us for an advise.

What's wrong with some women. Why not consider a career in Hollywood or Nollywood. Why do i have to kneel down and propose to you? Buying a ring is even a stretch. if i want you to marry me, we'll discuss it and if you agree cool, if you don't still cool. I'm not buying any diamond ring or going down on my kneel to propose to you. I'm not an Actor.

What a joke. If any party should be plotting Obiano's ouster, it should be PDP. APC has not structure in Anambra.

Those Naij guys are the Jumia of news/blogging/forum etc. I think they spend a lot of money on advertisement like Jumia.

The truth is that you don't expect Nairaland to remain on top when majority of active members now are relatively new. What happened to the old members? They weren't taken care of and they vamoosed. There's no new innovation. Everything just seems stagnant.

SHAMELESS - The American version

The guy is right. There are people in the US and UK that have dedicated their existence to doing menials jobs and they are doing a lot better than a lot of White Collar workers in NIgerians.

I don't think i have ever come across any Igbo person, no matter how ignorant that has called Efik Igbo. Even Igboid tribes such as Ekpeye and some places where some form of Igbo is spoken in Rivers state (save for Ikwerre, Etche, Egbema, Ndoni) have been called Igbo. I don't really know what to make of this. Does everyone now one to use Igbos to shine or what?

Oh my Oh my! I've seen these pics before. These were taken in the early 80s! I know this family personally. They're from my village in Umuahia. Adaobi was a little kid the first and last time I saw her. Her father shielded them from the public.

This family isolated itself and didn't mingle much with outsiders, except the man himself who visited us few times. My father was among the very few people he allowed in his home. This family's way of life was the opposite of mine. Our home was always open to everyone. Our gate was usually left unlocked in the day but locked at night. My father was a very generous man who helped a lot of his people to succeed.

I remember that Volvo. He used that car for many decades and it was the most well maintained car I knew. I don't know if the car still exists today. It would a world record if it does.

The man (a.k.a. Ete, youths called him De Ete) was once a friend to my father. They both partnered to bring electricity to our village. But their relationship ended when my father stopped this man from changing our village's name, and majority of the villagers backed my father.

His reason was that the name contains the name of an ancient god the villagers used to worship, and that it hinders the sons and daughters of the village from progress. The man is the type that believed in diabolic nonsense. But my father (a staunch christian) asked him, "if what you said was true, how come both of us are successful? How come we have many successful people both at home and abroad? My Dad then said, "leave the name alone if you don't have a better thing to do to help the youths. There are many ways we can help our people, name change is not one of them. The name has no negative effect whatsoever on anyone and your claim doesn't support the reality!".

The man did everything to intimidate my father to join him but failed, including vandalizing our property and suing my father to court which my father won. My brother and I stormed the village and enforced a curfew for 10 hours, beat the crap out of some of his followers (to set an example) and sent the man and his followers a stern warning against any threat to our father or any of our family members and vandalize any our properties. The news of this spread far and wide. A respected elderly man begged us to end the siege.

When we left the village, the man and his dumb followers calmed and stopped the harassment. The chaos happened in early 90s. Fast-forward today, the controversial name change dispute is history and totally forgotten. I don't even know if the man is still alive today. I don't go home often.

My beloved father and brother are Late. I miss them so much.

From your story, the man definitely seems like someone tat can ask his children not to speak Igbo.

No single life should be lost because of this Jammeh guy. If it's possible for ECOWAS or AU to use one of his kitchen staff to poison his food for peace to be maintained, then so be it.
