Hotel Presidential Enugu built in the 60's still stands taste of time. A worthy tourist site.

I lost a cousin in the blast. A 28 year old, his first year in his new job after NYSC. In all, two people from my community in Isinweke, Imo state died in the blast. It's a pity.

^^^^ I never knew that people from the aforementioned section of Nigeria have so much love for money that dead can not be allowed to rest in peace. I guess those minnows who would want us to believe that money is the middle name of Igbo person should read this post.

You captured it well.

Even in his grave, they will not let him rest in peace. Shameful.

It was the end of the road for three friends who exhumed the skull of the uncle to one of them for money ritual in Adamai village, Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State, as they are now in the police net.
The corpse was that of one Danso Dinde, who died in a mysterious manner and was buried about three years ago.

Dinde’s remains were buried in front of his family house in Adamai village. The nephew of the deceased, Jimoh Adinde who was caught along with others, by the Ogun State Police confessed to have collaborated with others to carry out the criminal act.

Adinde, a father of two revealed that the trio had carried out the heinous act about 1.00 am and had intended to dispose the skull at the price of 30,000. However, nemesis caught up with the trio when after the successful digging and removal of the skull from the grave, they forgot a cutlass which they had used by the grave side.

The curiousity of a son of the deceased who wondered why his late father’s grave suddenly became untidy led to the discovery of a cutlass which was allegedly traced to Jimoh Jimoh, 25, said he regretted his action which had already been condemned by the larger family and lamented that he would had continued as a commercial motorcyclist in Ajah area of Lagos State but for bad influence and companionship.

His words: “We were friends. The skull was that of my father’s elder brother who died and was buried in front of our family house about three years ago. “We went to dig the grave at 1.00am on Saturday and forgot the cutlass inside it. The cutlass was later traced to us.

“We intended selling the head for N30, 000. My brother, Taye, told other members of the family that I was the owner of the cutlass after which I and the other two were arrested by the police. A fragment of the skull was retrieved from us,” Adende regretted

Homo, those gals are well known! Even Oyinda confirmed seeing them on a site/FB page a while back! Instead of u to seek a way to contact them and tell them to sit at home, stop attending parties (or if they do, to stop taking pictures), and stop embarrassing lying ibo folks such as urself, ure here beefing me like I created them.

Once again I challenge you to publish the birth certificates or any sort of identity of those girls so that we can determine if they are Igbo or not. Shameless maggot, will you do that or not. Mbom mbom tinho tinho.

Andre Uweh, I'm with EzeUche, Chyz and other "closed minded" Igbos. Charity begins at home. Ndi Igbo and their continued stoopidity. How can these Enugu ppl be wasting money outside Enugu and Igbo land when we have better things to do back home? They'll soon burn it down when their ritual religious killings begin.

I really know you mean well as usual. My only plea is that Borno people in Enugu or any part of Igboland should respond by building a similar centre in their hosts state.

chyz:
BINGO!

The thread with the above link has no business being in politics section.

This thread has no business with politics section. Why hasn't Mukina transfered it to the appropriate section or is it because it is not about Igbo.

Im embarrassed by such a move.I condemn the act.

We need to encourage Borno people in Enugu to act likewise.

I'm from Obazu, Mbieri . Where are you from?

I was born in Enugu, but since IGBO culture is patriarchal I'm from Imo State. I'm kinda in the same boat with my dad. He was born and partially raised in the north but is from Imo State. Technically speaking I'm not "fully" Igbo. My grandmother is a Cross River woman which makes my mother half IGBO. I acknowledge both my Cross River and IGBO heritage though.[/quote]There is no ethnic group called Cross River. It could be Ekoi, Legbo, Efik etc. Forget the idea of being fully Igbo or not, your father is Igbo and that makes you Igbo. Be proud of your Igbo heritage.

Baba, you are guilty of watchery![/quote]Surely this iidiot has a problem with comprehension. In 1993, if at all you were born by then as your reasoning suggest, I saw it live a man drinking water from a basket. The NTA Aba had this programme also covered and it was relayed in their station severally.
Mr Whoopsy, do you even know what is Ozuruimo festival, impotent retardo.

I hope Borno people in Enugu state will reciprocate this kind gesture by building a similar centre in Enugu.

Borno: Igbo group launches N500m skill acquisition centre

AHMED MARI, Maiduguri


IN its efforts to reduce poverty and unemployment in the society, an Igbo cultural association under the aegis of Enugu Welfare Association (EWA), Borno State chapter recently launched N500m civic and skill acquisition center to train and equip idle and unemployed youths in various trade and skills.
The President-General of EWA Mr. Desmond Agu said during the event that multi-million naira project would also serve as centre for the promotion of cultural heritage and training for both Igbo and Kanuri youths as well as others ethnic groups in the state.
He said crimes like kidnapping and robbery were by-product of unemployment and idleness, saying that building an ultra-modern skill acquisition centre in Maiduguri will drastically reduced the rate of crime in the state, as youths would benefit immensely from it.
“As we set the pace, other groups and highly placed members of the society will emulate us and gradually we will empower every member of the society and bade farewell to unemployment and its aftermath which is destruction of lives and property in frequent crisis”, he said.
On the issue of cultural renaissance, the Igbo chieftain said that the ancestral meaning of their home state, Enugu, stands for “people from the top of a hill”; hence he said the name had been a metaphor of the rich cultural heritage of the Igbo people of Enugu who are prided and respected for their unique cultural heritages like the Ogene, Adanma Masqurade, Ijekwuete, Ikorodu and Chidodo masquerades which are being appreciated as far away as Germany and other European countries today.
He said that if the western world pride itself with its robust economy, African countries should also thrill the world with her rich cultural heritage which could be harnessed into a veritable tourist attraction that can generate revenue for the continent. Noting further that by the time the multi-million cultural and skill acquisition center is completed, there would be a gallery for the periodic display of both Kanem-Borno and the Igbo cultures.
The Borno State governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff was represented at the event by the Head of Civil Service, Alhaji Abba Ashigar, who commended the Enugu State people for coming up with such wonderful initiative especially at a time when the entire state was in dire need for the return of peace shattered by past religious and civil strifes; even as he noted that the Igbos have been part and parcel of the development of the state socially and economically.

There have been some sort of expanded roles for mothers coming for Omugwo. Some mothers have used their Omugwo period to make some extra cash by baby-sitting for other mothers. This is mostly practised in The U.K.

They made a very tight little basket and poured well mixed starch solution inside. It was almost like a cellophane bag sealing every crack in the basket, and yes, it was used to drink pammy!
The problem is that little children like you who watch only TV believe every fallacy uttered by illiterate old folks in the villages.[/quote]Clown,don't be silly, I did not say I watched it on Tv. I said that I saw it live at Owerri cultural festival. M0ron, Why not reread my post before chatting crap.

chuks01:
is goodluck fighting the igbos, if he does that then he has killed himself, i know its obj that is directing him because obj believes Igbos are not united and think he can always use them and dump them but i know this is the last straw, if the IGBOS goes against goodluck he will never be president come 2011, thats a fact,

It is Igbo please, with due respect.

ow11:
This is becoming a bore! Every few weeks a thread pops up trying to understand Igbo boundaries in RV state. Issues will be trashed and tomorrow another pig head will open another one!

I take it as an ego massaging exercise giving various respondents some form of importance if the expanse of his home empire can be increased virtually. It's pathetic!

Don't mind Killayut and his unreasonable logic.

It is proper to say, Otumokpu (juju) does exist but I do not practice it than to deny it completely. Forumites, do not be deceived, Juju does exist but do not adhere to it.
I have seen a man drink palm wine with a basket some years back. I watched this live and till date NTA ABA has a video of it for proof. This happened at Ozuruimo festival, Owerri in1993.

Do not let Efulefus deceive you.

@the poster. Igbo girls are indeed the most beautiful not only in Nigeria but in West Africa.
Denying this basic fact is like that man who said ''I thank God that there is no God''.

Infection and other risk factors are considered by Ndigbo.

I know for sure that women with Odu title in Onitsha Break kolanut.Please can u tell us some of the reasons.

I earlier wrote that women with titles break kola nuts in some parts of Delta Igbo region. Reread my post. Thanks for your info on Onitsha.
Ndigbo feel it is more hygienic to break kola nuts with knife. Secondly, some peoples hands are soiled with blood and Ndigbo do not want that. There are more reasons which I may not list here.
