UncleAyo:You are romanticizing African traditional religions and pre colonial practices. which one would you like to see return/.....murdering twins as being a curse,human sacrifice ,slavery or is it a culture that never enabled much scientific learning and progress .Traditions that were too pre occupied with gods,spirits,witchcraft instead of rigorous scientific study of our environment and learning. Lets not even talk about atheism.No morals,no objective standards, persecution and murder of religious folks. Even the so called "love for humanity" you speak about is not a fruit of atheism. It's stolen from religious traditions.Atheism brings misery.Just look at the USSR or North Korea. |
IPA doesn't speak for Ikwere people just like ohaneze doesn't speak for Igbo. The Ikwere people are split almost in 2 by a pro igbo and an anti igbo factionThe issue is the narcissistic and ignorant Igbos like you believing everything is Igbo culture. People all over the south and even north central use that cap.It is not peculiar to the Igbos nor did it originate in Igbo land. It's just that Ibos are more numerous,so they lay claim to certain cultural icons and pass it off as theirs.The truth is so much of what Igbos celebrate and claim to be Igbo didn't even originate in Igbo land . |
@sweetnectar Thoughtful christians and jews hold mohammed above the lord jesus christ? Must be in your deluded islamic mind, sweet nectar . Go and rinse ur mouth with bleach .such apostasy. Even the die hard atheists , agnostics,hindus bhuddist, know ur statement is false. Sweetnecta: Even thoughtful Jews and Christians place Muhammad [as] to be the best of man that human kind has ever known, over Jesus and Moses [as]. |
I think ever Nigerian home or abroad of voting age should be allowed to vote.if they reside abroad currently they may wish to move back at any time.a lot of Nigerian families abroad also boost the economy by way of millions of dollars and pounds and other currency sent to their relatives at home.Nigerians employed by foreign affairs ministry also reside abroad . Students of voting age also school abroad. So I wholly disagree with BAIYZ that Nigerians residing abroad should not be allowed to make decisions regarding Nigerian leadership. |
texazzpete: Imbecility has eaten deep into your mind if you think a lawsuit against Alaska Air and Boeing would 'bring to light things that have been swept under the carpet in Nigeria'.. The lawsuit is a 56 page document which u haven't read, but yuve already decided its a cash grab venture based on your "Magically scientific" deductions. Who's the real imbe.c.i.l.e. here? |
Abagworo ,u could never ever know more than i do regarding my state , rivers state and its constituent ethnicities . Yu all throw out these language, culture and religion argument which is faulty and controversial. However the. Fundamental issue here is the ikwerre mans sovereignity and right to call himself as he pleases. It is irrelevant if the civil war or non civil war caused the divide , its not about similarity in culture or language, heck even within the ikwerre clans there are differences in language and cultural practises the ikwerre wants to be identified as ikwerre not igbo. Even if he was known as igbo before which is still controversial, the ikwerre now wants to be known as such they no longer want to be submerged in an igbo identity. Someone mentioned the itsekiri differentiating from Yoruba since the 16 th century. So does the length of time invalidate the wishes of the ikwerre. ? The contention should be between the ikwerre who are pro igbo and those who are not. Andrew uweh claimed ahoda when his username was abadaba until he was nabbed. see all the insults from uweh, why does this issue always make u guys so bitter? So full of bile over this issues. It beats me why the Almighty igbo kwenu give themselves sleepless nights over ikwerre people.is it post traumatic stress syndrome caused by the civil war. |
Mr igbo ur supposed first wife miss ikwerre divorced and dumped ur igbotic ass for better lovers more than 40 yrs ago quit whining and get a life. All these stories of ikwerres being part of ohaneze blah blah blah doesn't cut it.the fact that a letter like this is been written shows the true state of affairs .this ur internet propaganda ain't working. U need to go to ikwerre websites and see how the ikwerres despise Yu guys. Next thing u know Andre uweh will start claiming ahoada but doesn't know the name of his village or if its ahoada east or west. Fyi rhino is right its a treasonable offence to sell land to igbos in ogbaland ( omoku) . Francis ellah was severely sanctioned By ogbafolks for trying to drag them into ur ohaneze.just leave the mbamiris alone they are very happy with their fellow mbamiri ijaw lovers |
How on earth can a farmer discover crude oil? Must be high on gbegiri and ewedu soup. |
@ op, what makes You think that the worship of olodumare was also not imposed by some ancient civilization? Slavery itself is as old as man and not peculiar to xtianity and Islam.if your olodumare and other African gods were all that why didn't they rescue Africans from slavery and colonization? You claim that they don't wait 47 years to answer prayers , however history points to the fact that they not only delayed, they did not even answer or shall we say they were not powerful enough to answer their worshipers. So what was the point in worshiping them? Lets take an example, Our fore fathers worshipped some gods they believed would Ward of illness e.g malaria and based on this belief offered sacrifices to them, however modern science has shown that you just need a few pills to cure malaria, no need to sacrifice hens, goats and in some cases human beings to treat malaria.they therefore dumped some of these gods. In a sense its not just xtianity that made us dump our forefathers gods but also science. Science disproved a lot of myths and religious practises. Some of the races you mentioned that are doing well have also had their dark periods its not always been rosy. The white men also lived in caves, trenches etc before they made scientific breakthroughs .whites also worshipped several moon gods, sun. Gods river gods before the advent of xtianity.some food for thought. |
Deep Sight: This still remains for me the singular most absurd and incredible christian teaching and it is mind-boggling that supposedly enlightened people persist in the belief that a young woman who finds herself pregnant actually got pregnant because a spirit did it. What a story.Xtianity is by faith, while certain aspects are logical to the carnal mind of man, some things are illogical. The Bible says without faith no man can please God, therefore if you want everything to be logical you cannot be a Christian. A very good example being the virgin birth. Its actually illogical to the carnal mind.its only through spiritual enlightenment that a person can grasp that concept. In science we know energy exsists in various forms e.g light, sound, mechanical etc we see the manifestation but we don't actually see energy .microscopic organism exist but it was only when microscopes were invented that we could see them and this led to a lot of breakthrough in diagnosing and treating various diseases in the medical field. Bottom line simply because our carnal senses can't grasp a concept doesn't mean its invalid.there are so many examples of things our five senses don't appreciate but do exist as evidenced by their manifestations. |
monkeyleg: @Bontee,on the contrary a duly elected president via fiat or veto powers can ask the AG to prosecute anyone who has been indicted in a afelony. The watch word here being " if they are indicted". Jonathan's govt has not been impressive, however I don't believe he is worse than other previously elected presidents.if we also consider the fact that the Hausa/ Fulani people are doing everything possible to bring him down, it seems like there is a grand conspiracy by the north and south west to continually subjugate the minorities especially the Nigeria deltans.for the first time in history Nigeria deltans are given key positions in govt and some people start swinging the tribalism chorus. When northerners ruled they pretty much did the same , probably worse and people looked on and even accepted it as the status quo. Lets try to keep tribalism and religious leanings aside and try to be objective. No oil minister in Naija's history has been maligned, ridiculed, hated and despised as diezani. Yet we all know that the rot in the oil sector started decades ago under the watch of the so called ' natural born ruler's , heck the entire country was left to rot du During their watch. I wonder why there is so much hatred for the Naija deltans .are they not Nigerians, I would feel better if diezani / goodluck embezzle all the oil money than some Hausa/ Fulani Moslem who loot our resources then turn around and label us as infidels, kufair,sinners. Etc and are even ready to slaughter for no reason.our oil should also be labeled infidel property or 'oil haram' shameless goons. Everything happening is orchestrated. Obj choose goodluck as VP knowing that untamed was not healthy. There were better candidates from the SS , but even then the power loving goons would still have made it impossible to function. |
sleekdot: Women need men for validation, well I dont know about thatMen do fight as well go to politics section and see all the virtual ballistic missiles flying all over the darn place.however they tend to fight fair and stick with the issue at hand. |
Seun u can do better than Facebook if u set ur mind to it and with God's favor. |

See sensible oyibo. If NA black man in go get one billion girlfriends. A girlfriend for each million. Some Asian women have a lot of grace and charm. Even if they are. Not too beautiful. Congratulations to the lucky couple. |
And what has blowing up churches and killing innocent youth corpers got to do with revenging their leaders death? Did the xtian brethren at madalla Catholic church kill their leader or force their kids to go to school? Western education is already forbidden in the north as evidenced by the humungous nos of almajiris. If you ask me I think they've already succeeded in their anti western education campaign in the north. The main reason why the north lags behind in every developmental index compared to the south is their " boko haram" ideology. All the PhD's in Arabic/Islamic "science" will not make them competitive in the 21st century. For Pete's sake this is not 7th century Arabia with flying carpets and donkeys with wings! !!!. |
Good ol memories. I absolutely loved rice with chicken stew and ripe fried plantain. Ummmmm so yummy.then Yu take a nap afterwards. |
@luckygames the op said "mostly men" not only men .pls read carefully. |
Dede1: It appears you know the facts but chose to be naïve. Igwe Ocha (PH), Igwe Nga (Opu Obu/Opobo) and Ubani (Bonny) as well as people of Ikwerre and Ekpeye are but Igbo and Igbo land. In addition, Ogoni, Okrika, Andoni and Nkoro people will have a choice to make and I think they will make the right one. In fact, the Ibibio, Annang, Efik, Ejagam, Atama, Ijo (eastern Nigeria) and Benue state peeps will have choice to make too. |

ojubi: This serve the doctors well, and it is a reminder to others even those in medical school that medicine is not alpha and omega among courses.You and your post reek of envy. Be objective and stop being jealous. Society needs doctors whether you like them or not, and yes they are at the top of the health tree because they have the highest level of responsibility and decision making as regards human life.nobody goes to hospital to see a nurse or pharmacist. Without doctors prescribing meds and therapies, nurses pharmacist, labworkers would be near redundant. |

Firstly what do u want? Are you looking for marriage, commitment or you just want to have a boyfriend and a cuddle. If you want something serious then don't give in to him easily nosex nosex and pls nosex. Until ur sure he's serious by his words and actions. |
Honestly the level of the English language used on this forum is disheartening, especially when it's coming from graduates.no wonder the state govt is reluctant to pay allowances.the corpers have probably done more harm than good to the poor kids. I think we really need a reading revolution in Naija. I wonder how some people got into universities and even graduated. |
yawkusi: I know Nigerians have problem with the English language. Everyone of you I have met before shows apparent misunderstanding of the language so you do not understand many of the words and phrases you are using; like smart, "we own our money", hell, country; because firstly Nigerians are not smart (Unless in negative terms). Hell? Nigeria is the ultimate hell on earth. Very soon Ghanian prisoners will be sent to Nigeria as their punishment. Country? Nah! Nigeria have never been a country and shall never be. Just a bunch of like-minded criminals bundled together by the British. "we own our money"? Well shell and Total owe mush of the oil. The royalties they pay is shared by the very very few. No wonder 80% of you live in poverty.the rubbish u speak and call English. Yu all murder the English Lang and call it G ghanaian english .a poor Naija lives like a king compared to a poor Ghanaian. You are all a bunch of nonstarters. |
To risk loving is to risk been hurt. Be brave and tell him how u feel. Don't let pride deprive you of loving and been loved. If he accepts youback ur lucky if he doesn't know that You did ur best and then achieve closure and let it go. |
Wow really enjoyed the story |
I like Annie. Me thinks she deserves tu face. Besides her child is better off because she gets to live in one home with both parents. |
Lord have mercy. |
