“However, if a migrant becomes violent or engages in acts of terrorism as some of the herdsmen have done, the governor, being the Chief Security Officer of the State, has the power to ask them to leave.

While i agree with a state asking certain people to leave the forest since they're occupying it illegally, I need to make it clear that Fulani Herdsmen are not migrants. They're just as Nigerian as anybody else. That's not to say that their excesses should not be curbed.

The way it should be. To think that Nigerian Trump supporters, Abule Egba branch will benefit from this is antithetical.

though am educated, a family man and comfortable but if things get worse I won't mind joining one Yoruba militia group to defend my father's land(Yoruba land). Come from a family of warlords in ekiti, na education and religion make person no reason am.

What's the point of you mentioning that you're educated? What's the correlation?

Erica missed the opportunity because her account was shadow banned.

God Bless Mercy Eke.

Please guys, don't go to any website to look for her.

So Messi even don get the same amount of goals as other la liga top scorers?


Just rename the league after him already.... No need for stress.


Leo-Liga sounds so dope.

This is Messi's worse season but he's still among the best. That means Messi only competes with himself.

Johnnyessence:
Count the “Antifa” warnings shouted from the crowd as a window is broken at the Capitol building.

Trump supporters are the obvious majority at the non-peaceful protest, but those same supporters were warning about alleged ‘Antifa’ penetration before violence broke out.

Abeg, shut it. Trump slowpoke based in Ejigbo.

I have it too but largely asymptomatic. The number of sick people I saw at IDH in Yaba should make everything think twice about thinking it's a farce. Protect yourselves.

BastardWike:
The part in bold is not absolutely factual. In 1950, the population of Onitsha was 74,000 while that of Abeokuta was 79,000. Now, can you compare the skyline of both cities? Onitsha has continued to evolve and now has a decent skyline while Abeokuta has stagnated. In the East, we demolish older and smaller houses to build bigger ones and that's why drone pictures of Eastern cities always tend to be more beautiful than its counterparts in the West.

First picture below is Onitsha while second picture is Abeokuta.

It would have been nice to see a pic of both cities in 1950. I can assure you that Abeokuta was more developed than Onitsha during the colonial days but the reverse is the case today. So, it's not necessarily because we demolish older houses in favour of new ones but because we build houses in places where there were never any houses.

BastardWike:
I think limited lands available for development is partly the reason for having evolving cities and towns. Why I said so is because cities like Onitsha, Enugu and Aba have sections especially in their "town" areas that are over hundred years old yet those sections now have modern looking houses. However, Ado Ekiti and Akure are all relatively new cities yet you will still find more ghetto looking settlements than you will find in say Aba or Onitsha that are probably older. In Aba for instance, in places like Azikiwe road, Asa road, Ehi road etc. you will see people buying bungalows or one storey buildings only to demolish them and build 4 or 5 storeys. In the 1980's bungalows and one storeys we're common but now 4 and 5 storeys are envogue. Maybe, in 2050's 7 and 8 storeys will be the norm. If only our state governors are up and doing, we would be having the best cities in Nigeria.

Most Igbo towns are new and i don't think there's any that is up to 100 years oold as a town. What we had were villages and hamlets. For instance, what was known as Enugu during the colonial times was what is today known as Ogui and it was still a village with very few modern building as at then. No matter how old a building in igboland is, it can't be older than building that you will have in say Benin, kano or Ibada.

But i also agree with your argument that Igbos tend to demolish older buildings in favour of new ones. The same thing cannot really be done in some parts of Ibadan for example, because you can have an entire town section that are very old and have existed for over 100 years.

And as far as land is concerned, this is the time for Igboland to favour upward development because we have limited land as it is and need to start building sky scrapers or atleast more modern versions of what we have in Onitsha.

BastardWike:
In Igboland, we are lucky to have cities and towns that keep evolving as time goes by unlike other parts of Nigeria or even Africa where slums constitute a significant part of their cities. However, our biggest problem is that government has failed to keep pace with urbanization. You will see areas with fine houses lining up the streets yet terrible roads, open drains and zero aesthetics.

State governments should even pass a law that any house with spaces must either plant grass on it or use gravel to cover the red earth. We live in a globalized world and perception is very important.

The thing is the Igbo towns and cities are newer than those from other parts of the country. That's why you see newer building in Enugu or owerri than you would see in Ibadan for example. The only down side is that our government are some of the worse in the country, so you don't get befitting roads for these new houses. Just imagine a julius berger constructed roads in Owerri, Awka or Onitsha for example.

E be like say electric never shock you before. You're shocked that someone stole the wallet of an accident victim? Did you not see how people in Edo state were scooping (was it fuel or what) with a dead body laying there. I think you will need a shock absorber going forward

This airport doesn't look like child's play. I hope they pay a lot of attention on the airport building itself. I'm tired of seeing ugly looking airport exterior and interior.

Only you and your family are waiting. America already has a new president.

I'm very good Nwanne. Happy New Year to you too. Dalu.

I don't think there are usually more than one test center in a state. Even the ones who claim to be test centers usually take the sample to the approved lab. For example, in Lagos, Lagos Bio Bank is where they take their samples to and that is where I did mine.

Mode4:
Actually English was my first language. My mum is Igbo while my dad is ibibio so I didn't get to learn any of their native languages early enough. I only leant ibibio later.

Technically, English is your first language but when the question is being asked, they want to know people whose English is their own native language like the US, UK, Australia etc.

I don't understand football these days. You get fired by a team like Everton and get hired as a coach of Barcelona. You get fired by a Tottenham team and get hired by a PSG even though your predecessor did better than you.

That too.

This is what have been wrecking many of our professional footballers after earning millions of dollars, pounds and euros during their playing days. Someone will just bring a business proposal to them and start swindling them until they become wretched

Kai. na waoo. If you see the way i run away from investing in other's people's idea. if it's not my idea, i don't want to be part of it. I don't like too much story.

Please, does anyone have any information on port-hacourt road? Does the governor have any plan for that road in terms of putting it in good shape? I pity some of the hotels that are in tat axis.

IDENNAA:
Pay no mind. He knows what I meant when I said Anambra. Anambra is not two. Enugu was added to Anambra for convenience not because we were one people. Again, ndi Enugu na eli eke fa na Ndi Ebonyi. They are the same people.

I'm sure tomorrow if Anambra is divided into 2 states, you people will start another agenda. It's just like stereotypes. Like how I used to hear about how Anambra people do blood money and this was when Enugu was part of old Anambra state. As soon as Enugu was carved out of Anambra state, all of a sudden, Enugu people stopped doing blood money just because they didn't take the 'Anambra' name.

IDENNAA:
Sorry , even during the old Anambra days we knew who we were. Our cultures are different, very different. Anambra and Enugu arent the same people not in food , traditions or language. We know who we were. There are similarities on the fringe but as you move deeper the difference becomes obvious. Enugu na eli eke!

Now, to your question. I believe I have answered it , already. We are rooted in the Omanbala traditions. When I say Omanbala I meant the today Anambra with a unique culture.

Lol Aint no such thing as Omanbala tradition. Not saying towns around each other cannot be related in some way. You can keep telling yourself that to feel good or so that agenda must agenda. Wherever you go in fringes of Anambra, it bears a similarity to the state that they border. Anywhere that borders Enugu probably is similar to the communities that they border. Ihiala is probably more similar to mgbidi than they are to Onitsha and so on. Not saying there isn't some similarities between Anambra communities but you can't really call it Omanbala culture.

IDENNAA:
Cc.Barryseal

Nobody verified any ffucking Aro migrations because you dont verify what doesn't exist. No oral tradition about Aro migration. We are rooted in Anambra and all our migrations were All from Anambra groups.

Which Anambra? The old or new one?

MelesZenawi:
There is nothing half there.

I have seen many other ethnic nationalities bearing Okolo though with a different meaning according to their language.

And who is arguing with you. While what you say is possible but it's also possible that the person is also mixed. Why is that too hard to understand?
