McStoic:
That love of money part dey make me laugh and wonder. Bias and prejudice is most people's undoing. When you check the tribe that have looted money the most in Nigeria, it's clearly not Igbo. Vices and virtues are found in every tongue and true of the earth. Let the deception continue.

May Lord bless you....flesh and blood didn't reveal this to you ...trust me

Finding someone to hold and fūck isn't the challenge but you found money bag to cūck and sūck

Google Belema oil and cure your ignorance, mumu.

Is that all

They said igbo aren't educated , yet the statistics from examination and professional bodies like WAEC, NECO, JAMB, NMA etc are telling us otherwise. Even the international bodies have said otherwise

They said that igbo are not United, yet we have seen how the whole igbo speaking tribes fro. South east and South south stood in unison for kanu

They said igbo cities aren't developed yet we have seen how Enugu was the only resilient city in Nigeria by international organisation and how Onitsha is the most built up city in Nigeria

They said that igbo love money, yet we have seen the most corrupt tribes and how Kanu has said over time that he isn't interested in money

They said igbo women are hairy , yet we have seen daily how fairy ladies from igbo won beauty peagants in Nigeria even globally ..Oluchi

They said that igbo can't okay politics, yet we have seen igbo win political posts in many developed nations even in non igbo areas in Nigeria

They said igbo are not important in the scheme of things yet we have seen how worried the mere mention of Biafra makes people.

They said igbo are troubleshooters yet they have lived in peace with their cousins and neighbors in South South for centuries no war

To me , as a Nigeriab, I think the best thing is to love, understand and understudy the igbo ...trully they are enigmatic and so with other tribes

Asour:
There are!
Tonye Cole.
Lulu Briggs, Dan etete, and Arthur eze, Jim Ovia, ABC Orjiako and Emeka Offor are some Examples.

The Niger Deltans are not heavily represented generally in Industry and Since the oil Industry, is an Industry— A complex one at that — the same holds true.

Arthur Eze , Orjiako are Igbo...Ovia is Ika Igbo and doesn't own oil well Lulu Briggs doesn't at all ...Only Dan etete and he isn't alive

So all the Niger Delta only Dan that it's dead seems like

It's alright

Black man and vanity

When would i see a NIGER DELTA oil magnate or oil dealer or even exploration firm?

Do they lack the mental capacity to go into energy industry

They don't mind being attached to Bini, though. Elechi Amadi started the Bini theory and many other Ikwerre educated persons are following the line too.
Celestine Omehia in an Ogbako Ikwerre convention in USA in 2015 reteirated Ikwerre Bini origin before Ogbakor Ikwerre, and received a warm applause from Ikwerre audience.



This is a too isolated case to be generalized, either way, we had already stated the propensity of Ikwerre people to identify with Igbo groups, once outside Rivers state. They don't do that because they consider us brothers or anything like that, they do such because they know that Igwebuike and that Igbos usually have the numbers outside East, hence they stand a chance benefiting from attaching to Ndiigbo in far away lands, but quickly remember their Bini ancestry, once back to Rivers state. It's part of the chameleonic treachery we have come to know them by,don't be deceived.




You got it all messed up. Oron, Efik, Eket, Ibibio, Annang, are like Ikwerre, Etche, Ngwa, Asa, Ndoki, Izzi, Ezza, Ikwo, Nkanu,, etc.
While IGBO groups managed to unite under one name called Igbo, all those Cross River and Akwa Ibom groups failed to unite under one name.
Ibibio telling Efik, Annang, Oro, Obolo, Eket, etc to unite under the Ibibio name, will be comparable to Ngwa( which is the largest IGBO group) telling the rest of us to unite under the name Ngwa.
Igbo tag belonged to no Igbo group,its a union of Groups that speak Igbo dialects which form a continuum as you move from Igbanke to Isobo.
Ukwuani people telling us to drop the Igbo tag simply because their Edoid neighbors had told them that "Igbon" means slave, as one of them once told me, or for whatever other reasons will not work. If they are not ready to embrace the Igbo tag the rest of us had embraced, then they should go and stay where the sun don't shine.
Your attempt to excuse their treachery, arrogance and sanctimonious attitude, will never fly.
Touch an Ukwuani person, and he starts telling you why they are not Igbos because Igbos are greedy,money conscious, ritualists, secessionists, etc, while Ukwuani are saints, when you listen to them speak, you hear the voice of their Edoid neighbors in them, they had accepted negative and unsubstantiated stories about Ndiigbo their Edoid neighbors parrot about and now they are trying so hard to avoid being referred as Igbos.
They are not just uncomfortable with the Igbo tag,these people habour a degree of resentment towards Ndiigbo, this is necessary for them, since they have to put on an Igbophobic Show for their Edoid neighbors, to prove to them they are truly not Igbos.



Nope. I think you are the one who need to review your understanding of the issue at hand. We have got them and their situation figured out to a T. Some of us had dedicated years of intense study on this matter.

Why we have them all existing as separate ethnic groups? isn't it obvious?
They rejected a unifying tag for all Igbo speaking groups, called IGBO. They had proven incapable of rising beyond their parochial and clannish mentality to unite Under the Igbo tag, while then are you surprised that they had all also failed to unite to form a single entity amongst themselves. Isn't the question a self solving one?
We are looking at this with clear head, and if you do, you will arrive at the same verdict as we all did.

I keep loving you...You don't need to beg them

What is sexy here ? She ugly

She can be described as one of the sexiest , prettiest and most versatile! Ladies and Gents, we present Omoni Oboli , very astute thespian , thoroughbred and a mother. Having acted in many Nigerian movies and one of the entertainment exports the country has offer, Omoni has come to be categorised as an A list actress carting awards yet she has the ability to juggle family and career. A lesson many young girls must understand and a reference point how to be pretty even after childbirth.https://etimes.com.ng/omoni-oboli-why-some-nigerians-see-her-as-a-reference-point-for-what-ladies-should-look-like/

A mother of three young men known as Tobe, Gozi and Chizi, these men are in their teens! Making the mother an early bird. She started early and faced motherhood ! Unlike today that women would want to keep childbirth forever, Omoni realised what she wanted and faced it straight up! She knew she wanted to be a mother, every woman wants to be a mother anyway but the difference is that some are confused on when to start while others are focused on when to start and Omoni can be classified as those that are focused. She also knows that she wants to be an entertainer, playing in the movie space, she studied it anyway! She faced motherhood and today she has lovely kids with a lovely career ,still looking pretty. This has placed her on the same level with some of the finest divas in the country like Omotola, Genevieve even Mercy.

Omoni has been able to demonstrate that the Nigerian woman can have the best of worlds! The Nigerian man can be a mother, a career lady and also look great even after childbirth. Childbirth isn't an excuse to go grumpy and nasty! Motherhood is a period of fine-tuning and growing with the kids , that is if you have them pretty early. She is a poster child for great motherhood.


Omoni Oboli (born 22 April 1978) is a Nigerian actress, scriptwriter, film director, producer and a trained digital filmmaker. She studied at the New York Film Academy, and has written several screenplays such as; Fatal Imagination, Being Mrs Elliott, The First Lady, and Wives on Strike.

According to what is written about the actress in Wikipedia, Omoni Oboli set up a charity organization, "The Omoni Oboli Foundation" to use her celebrity status to bring well-needed relief to the plight of the less privileged women and children of Nigerian society. https://etimes.com.ng/omoni-oboli-why-some-nigerians-see-her-as-a-reference-point-for-what-ladies-should-look-like/

The foundation has been able to embark on several projects which include the following;The feeding of street children in Lagos.Feeding and giving over two hundred poor and disadvantaged children at Delta Steel Complex, Aladja, a fun day with practical gifts and so many other things including mentorship

Oh are you going to disobey your leader and Atikulate now that KANU said no referendum no election or you think Buhari will give you referendum before then?

And Edo isn't part of Biafra also...Please find your level

Well, the people of Austria and Germany speak the same language, yet an Austrian will never accept being called a German.
A people are who they want to and claim to be. You can't do anything about it.
What I don't like is a situation where it would seem like Ndiigbo are wooing or forcing Ikwerre to be Igbo, thereby inflating their(Ikwerre) egos.

Ikwerre people have continiously insisted they are not Igbo, unanimously. This is the position of apex Ikwerre socio-cultural organization called Ogbakor Ikwerre.

There are native German speaking clans scattered all over Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, even France. Yet you don't see Germany losing sleep over these groups not wanting to be part of Germany, this is so because, the people of Germany has so much developed Germany to dizzy heights, that addition of non addition of these groups to Germany has become inconsequential.

Ikwerre is just 3 and half LGA, Ph city, they share with the ambitious Ijaws. Ikwerre has no direct access to the Atlantic, their lands are not particularly "too"oil rich. Ikwerre is not exactly known for producing high number of world standard human resources.
I don't see anything special they would bring to the rest of Igbo nation to warrant this endless argument about their identity.

They say they are not Igbo, it's their right to be whatever they want, and Ndiigbo must stop dragging the issue, as it's becoming embarrassing.

Awesome and that is the case



Ikwerre is made up of touts and funny folks

Haha Okoro Igbo, opolo e ti joba. Repeat after me Atiku is a Christian and Ibo and also not part of the Fulani caliphate .

Igbo and confusion are synonymous

Easy oga

IbrahimDamola:
Your goading and threats are empty, SW just wants to play spoiler for Atiku by deceiving him to pick SW, so that they can mock SE and still not vote Atiku. They will never give him majority votes, SW votes will always be split.

His surebanker is a Eastern vice, which will garner votes all over nigeria where easterners reside. SW go cut him ticket.

We can't have 2 SW VP candidates from two major parties at the same. Yorubas are not the only southerners.

Thank Lord that you Re seeing the mind of yorubas and how clannish they are

Please, can anyone tell us the safety rating of Innoson vehicles? Assessed by whom?

We seem to forget that all these Japanese/Korean/German/American cars we buy go through serious and rigorous safety assessments that ensure the safety of the buyers... and still many of them fail and face recalls all the time. Seatbelt, fuses, unintentional fires etc, etc.

Let us not do "YAY! Made in NIGERIA!" for it's sake. It must meet international quality and safety standards for a product to stand tall next to its international counterparts.

don't people die in these cars ? Yoruba Mumu

Are Yoruba the only tribe in Nigeria

Agbaya

Awolowo nailed the coffin on the progress of Nigeria when he foolishly and shamelessly accepted position of Federal Commissioner of Finance from Gowon who was his sons age mates.

All Awolowo achievements were negative and subjective in that era . They were -:

STARVATION of 14 million Eastern Nigerians and the death from Kwashiorkor of 3million especially women and children.

REPARATION against Eastern Nigerians by stealing their millions in exchange for 20pounds.

INDIGENIZATION POLICY that sold blue chip companies only to his Yoruba kinsmen. They eventually crashed the companies and destroyed Nigeria industrial base.

RESOURCE CONTROL removal which was at 50% by the 1963 Constitution but after tinkering by Awolowo became 0%.

TREASONABLE FELONY by Awo was the first coup in Nigeria especially by a civilian and it predated the January 15, 1966 coup which was initiated to make Awolowo Prime Minister of Nigeria according to his kinsman and major coupist Major Adewale Ademoyega who wrote the book WHY WE STRUCK.

OIL DECREE OF 1969 by Awolowo took away all rights to exploration of Crude and it's processing from states and made it the exclusive preserve of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

TRIBAL POLITICS brought Awo to limelight. Awo broke the ranks of the NCNC to create a niche for himself by raising ethnic fears YORUBA RONU.

CROSS - CARPETING without principles was invented by Awo in 1952 when he needed to steal victory from the NCNC in order for the AG to form government in Western Nigeria.

POLITICAL INTOLERANCE & VIOLENT POLITICS was the trademark of Awo who engaged his erstwhile deputy SL Akintola in burning and looting of the Western region in order to asset authority.

We can't just argue this....salary earners work for business owners that is how life is and you as a salary earners can't be richer than owner ...just lie saying Dangote staff richer than Dangote or Facebook staff richer than Facebook


Salary work is okay but it would give you basic comforts when you are working but one day you must leave the job...then you either be redundant reading papers waiting for pension or go into the business you have been avoiding... Though very late

Some Jewish Traditions of Ndigbo -Jews are Igbos & Igbos are Hebrew

*BIBLICAL TRADITIONS OF IGBOS BEFORE THE MISSIONARIES CAME TO AFRICA* IGBO 101. By Nwanyikaibeya Yaro

*1. NSO NWANYI*
In Igboland women live apart from their husbands and neither cook for them or enter their husband's quarters when they are in their period. They are seen as unclean. Even up till today such practice is still applicable in some parts of Igboland especially by the traditionalists. Before a woman can enter the palace of Obi of Onitsha, she will be asked if she is in her period, if yes, she will be asked to stay out.

*Leviticus 15: 19-20*
When a woman has her monthly period, she remains unclean, anyone who touches her or anything she has sat on becomes unclean.

*2. ANA OBI*
An Igbo man's ancestral heritage, called “Ana Obi” is not sellable, elders will not permit this. If this is somehow done due to the influence of the West the person is considered a fool and is ostracized by the community.

*1 king 21:3*
I inherited this vineyard from my ancestors, and the Lord forbid that I should sell it, said Naboth.

*3. IKUCHI NWANYI*
Igbos have practiced the taking of a late brother's wife into marriage after she had been widowed until the white men came. Now it is rarely done but except in very rural villages.

*Deuteronomy 25:5*
A widow of a dead man is not to be married outside the family; it is the duty of the dead man's brother to marry her.

*4. IGBA ODIBO*
In Igboland, there is a unique form of apprenticeship in which either a male family member or a community member will spend six(6) years (usually in their teens to their adulthood) working for another family. And on the seventh year, the head of the host household, who is usually the older man who brought the apprentice into his household, will establish (Igbo: idu) the apprentice
by either setting up a business for him or giving money or tools by which to make a living.

*Exodus 21:2*
If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve you for six years. In the seventh year he is to be set free without having to pay you anything.

*5. IRI JI OFUO*
In Igboland , the yam is very important as it is their staple crop. There are celebrations such as the New yam festival (Igbo: Iri Ji) which are held for the harvesting of the yam. New Yam festival (Igbo: Iri ji) is celebrated annually to secure a good harvest of the staple crop. In the olden days it is an abomination for one to eat a new harvest before the festival. It's a tradition that you give the gods of the land first as a thanksgiving.

*Deuteronomy 16:9*
Count 7 weeks from the time that you begin to harvest the crops, and celebrate the harvest festival to honor the lord your God, by bringing him a freewill offering in proportion to the blessing he has given you. Celebrate in the Lord's presence together with your children, servants, foreigners. Be sure that you obey my command, said the Lord.

*6. IBE UGWU*
In Igboland it's a tradition that the male children are circumcised on the 8th day. This tradition is still practiced till date.

*Leviticus 12:3*
On the eighth day, the child shall be circumcised.

*7. OMUGWO*
In Igboland, there is a practice known as "ile omugwo ". After a woman has given birth to a child, a very close and experienced relative of hers, in most cases her mother is required by tradition to come spend time with her and her husband. During which she is to do all the work of the wife, while the new mom's only assignment to the baby will be to breastfeed. This goes on for a month or more. In the Igbo old tradition, at this time, the new mom lives apart from her husband, would not cook or enter his quarters.

*Leviticus 12:1-4*
For seven days after a woman gives birth, she is ritually unclean as she is during her monthly period. It will be 33 days until she is ritually clean from the loss of blood; she is not to touch anything that is holy.

Most business owners are poorer than salary earners.
What most people need is money management skills not their own business.

That's short term....on long run they are richer

TODAY ON SALARY:

This post will make some happy, and make some unhappy. But never the less truth is always inevitable!

What is a Salary?

- A salary is a bribe for one to forget their dreams and ambitions.

Research has it that the poorest group of people in the world is the salary earners' group, which is practically next to beggars' group.

They live in a vicious cycle of poverty, managed on a 30-day duration. For them, salary is continuously being awaited every month, and any slight delay brings heartbreaking anxiety, pressure and disappointment.

Salary is a short-term solution to a life time problem. Salary alone cannot solve your money problems because as your salary increase, so your expenses. Therefore you need multiple sources of income to balance.

Don't live life fishing with just one hook; there are many fishes in the ocean.

Salary is the MEDICINE for managing POVERTY, not for CURING it. Only your BUSINESS or INVESTMENT can cure it.

If you do not have 3 months salary in savings, you are already poor. And to confirm that, ask someone who his/her salary have been delayed for two weeks and know how much credit he have on ground to settle.

Remaining a salary earner is a mentality, And you can break It!
Your worth is far more than just your salary.
Salary is the value someone has put on your efforts.

How much do you value yourself?
You can't increase in value, unless you value yourself differently.

Life is a trade off between time, effort and reward, to be rewarded more, you have to become more valuable.

Most salary earners end up poor in the long and short term. I therefore urge every one of us to be FINANCIALLY INTELLIGENT, FINANCIALLY LITERATE, and OPEN OUR EYES TO SEE OPPORTUNITIES IN PROBLEMS.

Delve into entrepreneurship, start a side business/investment to sustain yourself and your family because salary is a lifetime disappointment. Being a salary earner or investor is a decision.
And life will not change until you decide.

Dont allow the company you work for, or even government to design your future.

So make the move!
"Salary remains a bribe to forget one's dreams and ambitions".

I'm very sorry, but even if truth is bitter it must be revealed. Thank you

SINGING IN YORUBA DOEST MAKE HIM A YORUBA JUST LIKE SINGING MERRY CHRISTMAS DOESN'T MAKE US ENGLISH

The need for the country to position the youths for the leadership of tomorrow has been always on the mind of stakeholders and those that want the good of Nigeria. It’s on this note that Ahmed Ojikutu, the president of Computer Allied Products Dealers Association of Nigeria (CAPDAN) organised an even tagged “Ojikutu 4.0”, an event slated to look into how the youths can take the country to the new heights.https://etimes.com.ng/ahmed-ojikutu-his-birthday-the-need-for-youths-to-engage-in-politics/

The youths have been enjoined to bring out time for politics. Youths were encouraged to always be steadfast in the area of politics and have full participation in politics.

The participants of the summit condemnimed the issue of cross carptering , berating the politician of lack of ideology. Nigeria youths are seems not to be ready, the singumar fact that many Nigerians are given few thousands Naira for vote.

Most young people might not have the financial strengths to build their political platform, there has been need for volunteerism. The summit pannel opine that every pilitics is local. It’s about the community and environment! One must solidify his base before going national. An example was given about how Saraki decamped and the governor joined him , this demonstrates that Saraki has a base.https://etimes.com.ng/ahmed-ojikutu-his-birthday-the-need-for-youths-to-engage-in-politics/

As a way to give back to the society, “Ojikutu 4.0” a three day event is slated to kick off with a summit slated for the youths, followed by a visit to the charity and culminating with the Computer Village Street Carnival .
