Like, what?!?!?!

Where have you ever seen an Okun who says he's not Yoruba? That person needs to be flogged!

Dino that you mentioned is most known for "Àjekún Ìyà", a pure Yorùbá song.

In my office ...She said she isn't Yoruba but kabba or something

Igbo are blessed

WHO GOD HAS BLESSED, NO MAN CAN CURSE

The Igbo that was removed from being the Nigerian minister of Finance; is being employed as a delegate in the WORLD-BANK

The Igbo that can not be a Chief Justice nor President in Nigeria, is presently the President of the WORLD MOST POWERFUL COURT ( ICC )

The Igbo man who's business was sabotaged by government; is presently receiving international awards and recognitions even in America ( Ibeto )

The Igbo man who made the First African indigenous car Z600, but was sabotaged by Nigerian government; BROKE THE LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS by "CREATING ENERGY", and publicity acknowledged by Chinese serving president.

The same useless Igbo is that same man whom is currently being dragged by world powers, for using performing an unbelivable practical that is now far better and productive than the former (Philip Emegwali )

I can go on and on but this only tells us one thing "WHO GOD HAS BLESSED, NO MAN CAN CURSE"

Women are the backbone of the family, they make or mar the home, since they help bring life to the world suffice it to say they sum up what we call family, 99% of successful, longlasting home or family is the ability of the woman to hold the "forte".

My attention was drawn to this forum and this topic https://www.nairaland.com/4617351/husbands-pride-wants-ruin-home#69371294 and it is sad that most people drew conclusion on a one sided story though i wouldnt blame those involved because they judged based on what was said and the individual involved needed public validation for her wrong doing, a public display i dont approve of but since external persons and relations are already involved i'd like to clear some details.

"Dee" comes from a very well to do family while i dont so when we got married, i made her feel we are in this together, not one above the other but as partners in EVERYTHING. To be fair to her she brought up the business idea we did years ago, in other to put forth money to start up, i made sure i had equal money as her for it, goal was to own a property, build et al. Unfortunately my dad's ailing health deteriorated to the extent that he had to be flown out, when the profit came, i told her and she agreed, she decided we split it into two so she use hers for the initial plan. As the first born i went with my dad, back here she got the property and started building, when i came back the remaining money with me was used to complete it, what was left was used for my parents house. Being a trust worthy person i feel she is, i didnt bother to check documents cos i felt she would do the right thing by putting both our names which she kept in a bank.

Now, i work and own other businesses so i'm always in contact with alot of people from both genders so to her she feels i may have lost guard by cheating which is not true: i dont have password on my phones, i always make and receive calls right in front of her but she still think i'm hiding something and that was the genesis of the problem weeks ago, i rebuked her to cut it out immediately but she was out for blood, she insulted me like never before, when i didnt give her face, she extended her TOXIC words to my parents, my family, my background and my personality, that was when i lost it, if not for my cousin that was there i would have hit her, out of anger i told her to get the hell out of the house which of course i didnt mean, then she shocked me saying the house is ONLY in her name, i was numb and speechless, in other for me not to react in a brutal way i left the house, told her i would never step there again if she doesnt change it to my name ONLY. My cousin who was there when it happened told my people, they called me so i had to explain things, right now her family knows what happened and none is supporting her.

YES i said she should put my name only cos she belittled and betrayed me which tells me if it was in both our names she will raise shoulder and feel above me.YES i requested for transfer and i will go through with it, i cannot be away from my kids and still be in the same state, it doesnt make, when it is sucessful, i will get a place conducive amd comfortable for my kids, they will be with me. I told her recently not to bother with the name change anymore, she can have the house all to herself for all i care.

I wont divorce her because i dont believe in that, once i move with the kids she can come along if she wants but right now we are seperated. I wanted a partner, she displayed stupidity not smartness, what the future holds i dont know, she made her bed she should lay on it.

A man would never say how lucky he is untill he gets married ....And dude your one hell of unlucky man. Well,manage with it and ensure that you have your eyes to details

Our attention has been drawn to a mischievous rumour making the rounds that Mr. Frank Nneji OON has abandoned his governorship bid and would now run for the Senate.

There is absolutely no truth in the story, which is as amusing as it is ridiculous.
Obviously, it is the handiwork of political opponents who are perplexed by Mr Frank Nneji's growing popularity and wide acceptance by Imo people at home and abroad.
https://etimes.com.ng/imo-guber-i-am-still-much-in-the-game-frank-nneji/

The fake story is a futile attempt to confuse and deceive Mr Nneji's supporters.

We hereby state unequivocally that Mr Frank Nneji is still in the race to win the ticket to represent the All Progressive Grand Alliance ( APGA) in the 2019 Imo gubernatorial race.
https://etimes.com.ng/imo-uber-i-am-still-much-in-the-game-frank-nneji/

We also call on Mr Nneji's many supporters within and outside All Progressives Grand Alliance ( APGA) to ignore the story. It has no basis.

We assure his supporters that Mr. Frank Nneji is unrelenting in his pursuit to get elected into office so he can fulfill his burning desire to rebuild Imo state and uplift the circumstances and living standards of Imo people.

This year, the Bank’s Autism Programme will begin with the 2018 Autism Conference which is free to attend and open to the general public. The conference will also be streamed live on facebook.com/gtbank and people across all social media platforms can also join the conversation by using the hashtag #BeAVoice. Following the Autism conference will be free one-on-one consultations for children with Autism and other developmental challenges as well as counselling of their parents and guardians. There will also be sessions for Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy, Behaviour Analysis, Audiology, Clinical Psychology, Developmental Psychiatry, Physiotherapy, and Occupational Therapy.

It's an urhobo name

What I am saying is an open secret. There's nothing hidden about it.

I was in the office just 2 days ago with an Anioma man. He reiterated the same things mentioned here.

He even said the Onitshas and Benin's still have a joint festival they do till today.

I know a Monye. He will never accept he is Igbo though he grew up in Aba.

Lies ...Ask him to tell you the joint festival ....I am from there and that is pure lie

The way people lie...Have you seen any Onitsha king say he is Benin...Pls show me i promise you recharge card

grandstar:
He is Delta Igbo or Ika/Anioma/Aniocha

Tony is pure igbo from igbuzor/ogwashi and they are from royal lineages of nri

They are even one of the most correct Igbo

Linda Ikeji isn’t just any girl you see on the streets! She has made a mark in her chooses field -media. As a lady I can tell that Linda is a role model for young girls and a whole lot of people look up to her . Lately, she announced that she is pregnant and gave reasons why she wants to be pregnant!

We totally understand the need for a lady to want to have kids of her own and having reached a threshold in life ,which is around 38yrs of age the need to have a child would be important, but that ain’t enough! In this era of feminism and copying a lot by young women, they would be saying ” if she can get pregnant outside marriage ” then it is cool to be pregnant out of marriage and kids would follow suit.

I might not be a Puritan or moralist but I think that a spade should be called a spade. Pregnancy out of marriage ( Ime Mkpuke) as we call it in Igbo land is what someone should be ashamed of and not something to be celebrated.

That I made a mistake does not stop me from calling the bad mistake bad. I will criticize myself so I can criticize others too..I’m not using condemn because, its only God that has the power to condemn anyone, and no one is perfect. But, must call a spade a spade.

So, if Linda is not married and she is truly pregnant, there’s nothing to congratulate and celebrate about. Even the people of abroad whom we are trying so much to copy don’t celebrate pregnancy outside wedlock. They call the child a bastard.

If my daughter gets pregnant before marriage, I will not disown her, I will not kill her, but I will let her know that what happened is one her live’s mistakes and nothing she should be proud of. We believe that we should say it the way it is. Pregnancy outside marriage has never been “cool” and mustn’t be celebrated.

Shoes are the most important part of an individual’s attire, as no other article of clothing must fit so precisely and perform critical mechanical functions such as transferring body weight.Nigerian ladies are known to be fashionable, one of the most prized possession of every lady are shoes.

High heels and good shoes are fashionable, at first glance, it does place the wearer on a certain level. Though, It must not be classy but presentable. Wearing high heels makes women more attractive, allowing them to be more choosy over a larger number of higher quality males competing for their attention, this could explain the evolutionary advantages of this fashion statement.

With the arrivals of new collections by Prime Wears , Ego, the founder of the on-line firm stated that “As women normally walk differently from men, high heels may help exaggerate the particularly feminine aspects of gait. What these shoes do is make women walk even more like women.”

Where are they from.

:

Recently, the media was agog with a certain statement credited to one Kanye West, a black American artist/celebrity that Slavery which percipated the black race about a century ago was a choice, invariably alluding that it was the choice of the back man to ascent to Slavery?

The controversy generated from this statement/point of view still rages, while some are in protest and in disagreement, others are in agreement with the statement and view.. Permit me to take a position on the subject matter before I continue..

... And I say 'Yes! Slavery/Slave Trade which ravaged the black race a while ago was a choice but I'll add that it was a choice made by and spurred by ignorance, but again, when has ignorance become an excuse? Black man sold black man into Slavery and the white man was buying. Our forefathers in their greed and ignorance were capturing their likes and selling them into Slavery to the White man's land, we seem to forget this ugly part of our history, forgetting that as we're rightly pointing a finger to the whites who carried out the slave trade, the rest fingers should be pointing at our traditional rulers, Kings and King makers trained warriors slave hunters, kidnapped their kits and kins, invaded villages, captured young boys, men and women and sold them to their white customers, even exchanged them in some cases with mirrors and bottles of hot drinks. The bulk of the blame has continously flown over these our ancestors who were even the major enablers and landing at the table of the white people.

https://etimes.com.ng/the-choice-of-slavery-by-africans-blacks-ebuka-umennadi/

Slave Trade, just like oil business in this century, was a major source of wealth to nations & individuals. Just as the black nations are harvesting the mineral resources God blessed him with presently and sending them to the White people while lacking the basic benefits of these resources and paying no attention to the damages that are being done to his environment by these activities, rather interested in the little financial/wealth gratification being given to him by the white man, so myopic, ignorant and greedy was our fathers when they were capturing their likes and selling them off to the whites for financial and frivolous material gratifications while the white man employed the strength of these our people sold to build empires just as they're currently using the benefits of the resources in the black man's land to invent and build wonders.

Yet, the white man is still magnanimous and benevolent, we're largely surviving and thriving from their inventions, their knowledge and reasonings are what forms the curriculum in our educational system, we've done little or nothing for our benefits, atimes, I'm forced to think wether the black man is sub-human. There's nothing of great technological & scientific achievement the black man made which was not invented by the white, the ones we improved on mainly were done under direct or passive supervision of the whites. Take a look at your environments, your rooms, offices, roads; the motorcycles, cars, bicycles, building materials, aircrafts, TV sets, radios, cloths, etc, non is an invention of the black man! The little we do is to copy what they've done and reproduce a very low standard for our own use even when they do not hoard these knowledges, they give them to us through journals, documentaries, etc, yet we can't help ourselves!

https://etimes.com.ng/the-choice-of-slavery-by-africans-blacks-ebuka-umennadi/

We blames the white for bringing religion to us as if we're the only race they brought religion to, some see the religion of the white man as the bane of our woes, these religions were taken to Indians, Asians.. There are over a million Christians in China, projected to reach 30milion by 2035 as many are buying into the faith there, majority of South Korean people of today are Christians, this religion and some others are not indigenous to these Asian countries, they were introduced or even foisted unto them just as it was done to us the Blacks/Africans, but you will never see them blaming the white people and claiming that Christianity or any other religion was used to brainwash and turn them to mental slaves, some of them embraced the foreign religions while some rejected and shook 'em off, and they've collectively continued to make great impacts in every human indices and developments.

Something is likely naturally & fundamentally wrong with the black race, our actions and attitudes towards life is nothing short of racial inferiority when placed side by side with that of other people, the continuous blame rhetorics to others except ourselves is nothing short of inferiority complex. Necessity they say is the mother of invention, the black man has been in dire necessity but has not been able to invent anything to help himself, rather we find solace in mediocrity, we're laced with greedy, myopic and visionless leaders who see no need in planning for the next generation but mortgaging the next generation. It's either we change our mindsets, look inward to solve our problems 'em, emancipate and liberate ourselves mainly from ourselves or we just accept that we're sub-humans unable to take responsibilities and measure up with others.

We currently owe the appreciation of the life we're living now to the White people and Asians who have emancipated themselves and are sharing their efforts with us, even the olden day slavery we're talking about still took their efforts and commitments to be stopped.

I am a citizen of this country, Nigeria. I was born into the family of Kabbalah, sixth child of my family. I grew up in Ilorin but I studied in Egypt and also here in Nigeria, kwara state. I have been in the healing practice for years. I got some of my gift from my parents. As an African man, I realized that a lot of our culture has been eroded due to Westernization. Though, Western influence is good but we shouldn’t jettison ours, meaning that it’s imperative that we maintain some good aspects of our cultures from the healing aspect to spiritism. People do see this aspect as bad and negative that is a very wrong impression. Just like every other thing in life, there is always a negative and positive side of it, so is African or Western influence, all we have to do is create a balance and that is why I am here.

WHAT DID YOU STUDY IN EGYPT?

I got a degree from Alexandra University in Egypt, where I studied spiritual Occultist and Doctrine, also a Therapist of any kind of Sexual Disease. Therapy aspect was an heritage profession and it is what most of our traditional fathers did here even before the white people came into Africa. We must understand that African herbs are very good and it has been scientifically proven. Though, I am not disputing the Western Medicine but I am using this medium to inform people that African herbs are good and should not be looked down upon.

WHY DID YOU DECIDED TO GO INTO SPIRITUAL HEALING DOCTOR?

I saw the importance of it and I wanted to let my people here in Nigeria know that such problems can be cured and treated here that they don’t need to travel abroad for it. We must understand that before anything manifest in the physical, it has been sanctioned in the spiritual and what do is to ensure that most challenges people face in the area of health is tackled from the root, which is the spiritual angle.

According to the statement, Trump will discuss issues such as promoting economic growth and fighting terrorism with Buhari.

“The relationship of the United States with Nigeria is deep and strong, and Nigeria’s economic growth, security, and leadership in Africa will advance our mutual prosperity,” the statement said.

Nigeria has been combating the terrorist organization Boko Haram since 2009.

The State Department under Trump approved the sale of 12 high-technology attack planes and equipment worth $600 million to Nigeria last year after the Obama administration halted the sale because of accusations that Nigeria’s air force was bombing  civilians .

The scheduled meeting will be the second between the two leaders. Last year September, the two leaders met on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, during a luncheon Trump held for a select group of African leaders.

President Buhari who came to power in 2015, announced last week Monday, that he plans to seek reelection in 2019.

The Nigerian leader who left Abuja for the U.K. On Monday, will attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit which begins in London on 18 April and ends on 20 April.

The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a news making the rounds in the social media alleging the Nigerian Army discrimination and denial of some ethnic groups the rights to be recruited into the Nigerian Army in the ongoing nation wide recruitment exercise. The Nigerian Army wishes to state categorically that the allegation is not only untrue but unfounded and unsubstantiated.

This is the handy work of unscrupulous elements attempting to drag the good name of the Army into the mud. For avoidance of doubt and to put the record straight, the Nigerian Army wishes to state that every eligible Nigerians are qualified to be recruited into the Nigerian Army providing such individual meet the set down standard meant for the recruitment. That the Nigerian Army would ever remain apolitical in the discharge of its constitutional roles in aid of civil authority. Furthermore, no state of the Federation including Adamawa State that would be exempted as alleged by the mischief makers. All the candidates for the recruitment exercise from Demsa, Numan, Lamurde and Girei Local Government Areas are currently participating in the ongoing recruitment exercise like any other candidates.

The Nigerian Army wish to advised all well meaning citizens to disregard such an unfounded allegation which is an imagination of the writer. The allegation that the Nigerian Army selected a particular ethnic group from the South Eastern part of the country is completely false and has no bases. It is important to note that the Nigerian Army does not support any religion or tribe. The Army operates as an entity no matter your tribe or religion. Therefore, there is no iota of truth in the said allegation. The Nigerian Army once again stated its total commitment in protecting the sovereignty of the nation as well as carrying out its constitutional roles according to the constitution.

For asking what appears to the officials of the Federal Ministry of Education a hate-filled question, I was asked to leave the venue of the 19th Stakeholders Meeting on Unity Schools/Colleges. The order came in such an uncharitable, direct and malevolent manner! It matched the same venom that gave vent to it. I was not allowed to pick up my files and say a few words to colleagues. I must leave, and leave immediately within split seconds.

What did I say?

Priscilla Ihuoma, the spokesman of the Minister has just announced what appeared to me, the information that brought me to Abuja. I was waiting for this announcement. I got it. I predicted the minister. She played into my hands. I had waited for an opportunity to share my thoughts on my hatred, opposition and stance against Unity Schools and the injustice in Nigerian education system. I missed the opportunity in 2016 and 2017 to present my views. Then, the meeting was a hushed one. This time around, we were told the meeting would drag to two days. And stakeholders who have views could easily share them as the Minister would entertain such.

Mrs Ihuoma, the announced the breakdown of the registrations for the 2018 Common Entrance Examinations. A total of 71, 294 young boys and girls were registered for the examination, a little shortfall from the 81,930 that registered in 2017. Lagos State hit the top with 24,465, FCT came next with 7, 699. Of course you know why? Igbos in Lagos and FCT are included! Then, she murmured a well rehearsed statement: Zamfara 28, Kebbi 50, Taraba 95. These three states came first from behind.
She went ahead to tell us the obvious: that the nation has 104 unity schools; that most of these unity schools dont get up to their carrying capacity; A budget, running into billions of naira goes into their maintenance each year and that The Unity Schools take up to 45% of the budgetary allocation of the Ministry of Education.

I was bitter. I was overtly burning with rage and hate. I couldn’t wait for the question and answer session. I did all I could to get hold of the microphone and finally, I got to the aisle, looked directly to the raised table and heaved a sigh of relief. I glanced through my notes and let loose the canons:

Why do we have 12 Unity Schools in the East where more than 50% of candidates come from? Mr Minister, why are kids from Igboland not given admission to those Unity schools that don’t get up to their quota/carrying capacity? Honorable Minister, can you explain why A young girl from Imo state,seeking admission into any of the country's 104 Federal Government Colleges (Unity Schools) must score 139 points out of a possible 300 to stand a chance of being taken. But her counterpart from Zamfara state only needs to guess two answers right?.Why does the young boy from Abia be denied admission even when he scores 198 while his counterpart from Gombe who merely wrote the examination ( but scored zero) is allowed to study in any unity school of his choice? Why do we have only 2 Igbo principals in the 105 Unity schools in Nigeria? Does this reflect intellectual preparedness or merely a reflection of the wishes of the leadership of the nation and that of the ministry? Why must the federal government set up a well funded advocacy team to persuade villagers, traditional rulers in North and clergy to encourage their citizens to send their wards to unity colleges while efforts are not made to accommodate thousands of kids from the East who are denied admission yearly. Our Minister, I hope you are aware that Last year, Nigeria’s four Federal Government Colleges did not produce a single candidate that scored five credits that included English and Mathematics, needed to gain admission into the university.

Hon Minister, i hope you are aware that, Federal Government Girls’ College, Bajoga (Gombe State); FGGC, Bauchi (Bauchi State); FGGC Gboko (Benue State), and the Federal Science and Technical College, Kafanchan (in Kaduna State) did not produce a single pupil with credits in English and Mathematics.

Honorable minister, I hope you are aware that In 2013, human rights lawyer and former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, filed a suit at a Federal High Court in Lagos over admission inequality in Federal Government Colleges. The court declared as unconstitutional, the decades-long state-based, quota system admission into federal government colleges. John Tsoho, the trial Judge, in his ruling declared that the action of the Minister of Education in prescribing and applying different requirements for candidates seeking admission into unity schools is in violation of Section 42(1) of the 1999 Constitution. If this is the case, and definitely that is the case, Why, does the Minstry of Education under you refuse to adher to the court ruling?

Why does, Zamfara State, with 28 candidates for the 2018 common entrance examination have three Unity Schools, while my state of Imo has only two!!! Why do we have three Unity schools in Taraba ( that has only 95 students this year) while Enugu State has only two. Hon. Minister, I can go on and on to...

It was at this point that heavens was let loose. Stop there!!! Voices form the elevated table raged. It was amidst claps and jeers, heckles and clear disapproval from those whose benefits have been threatened; acclamation from those whose grievances have been let loose, that i was ordered and whisked away from the ICC, venue of the stakeholders meeting. No harm befell on me. I retired to my hotel room, got enough rest and made a Lagos-bound journey. I am sure, the organizers wouldn’t invite me to subsequent meetings. But who cares?

From Dr. Modestus Ezenwa.
