Kiswahili is a national language of Kenya and Tanzania and to a lesser extent in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.
@LIPUKA: In all those places you mentioned, people there learn it to be able to speak it.
Once again Kiswahilli can not be adopted as Africa's main language. Thanks.

It is not every old man that can play football. What matters most is being good.

Chelsea might sign him up now. But in future greedy clubs like Man U will want to snatch him from the clutches of Chelsea. It has happened before(2005).

The three arms zone in Abuja should be named after N. Azikiwe.

Pcicero. your opinions about Mekusxxx is wrong. Concentrate on his well-informed and educative post rather than attacking his personality.
Thanks for the post, Mekusxxx.

@BLUE: Mr Osuji does not live in Imo State. He is contesting for a position where he lives. If the voters says he is the right candidate, I am sure, you will not stop him. Enemy of progress.

Kiswahili is predominantly spoken in Tanzania and Kenya. Not everyone in Uganda, Burundi Rwanda speaks Kiswahili though it is largely spoken. Somalis speak Somali, Zimbabweans speak Ndebele, Ethiopians speak Ahmaric. You can not fool us poster.
Kiswahili is not an indigenous African language. It is an admixture of Arabic and some coastal languages of East Africa especially Zanzibar.
How about Indigenous African languages like the Igbo, Yoruba and Zulu.

Fellow Nigerians, please support the new manager.

All the Igwes, Ezes and Obis in Igboland came into being between 100-110 years ago. Most are British creations. In most kingdreds in Igboland, there were heads but not with authority. This heads were made warrant chiefs and Ezes later.
Nevertheless, Nri, Agbor and Onitsha had deviant cases. The later two may be as a result of Nri or Bini influence.
It is noteworthy to know that the current Obi of Onitsha --Igwe Achebe sees Bini ancestry of Onitsha as nonsense and ridiculous.

IMAGINE.

The govt at Westminster can not hand over to Argentina what is not hers. A land is near my house does not mean that the land is mine.

One--otu.
two--abuo.

four--ano.
five--ise.
six--isii.
seven--asaa.
eight-asato.
Nine--itolu.
Ten--Iri.
The above is what you have to teach him. He has to learn it.

It is a relief to read that P.Cech will be out for 4 weeks. Hope rising, as he is not out for the rest of the season.

Become.
Omoku is not in Ikwerre Land. The similarity is that they are both Igbo groups in Rivers state.

Lets pray Petr Cech's injury is not as serious as thought.

Malouda will attack from back.

I have heard somewhere that thiers crude oil in the Gulf of Guinea hundreds of miles from the shores of Lagos and USA has set their eyes firmly on the region, If an English oil firm could tow an Oil rig all way to north of the Falkland to drill for oil, I think the same could happen in Nigeria but all of the South America have asked England to hand over the soverign to the falklands back of Argentina

Britain should not hand over the island to any one. How do you think the British people who live in the F. Island would feel when a country they share no heritage with is made to overlord them?.
The Islanders are Britons and either British rule or power to them to govern themselves independently.

It is morally wron for Argentina and her law-makers to wake up overnight and say '' This island is ours as it is close to us''.
Anyway, they deserve what they got in 1982.

Some other monarchs west of the Niger dresses in Nri like regalia. Though some of them do not trace their roots from Nri but the truth is starting to manifest.

Na wa oo for guys. I hate the incovenience that goes with that such that if the last option to stay here is to stay without Visa, I would jump the next available flight.

Remember your friend was lucky there were no amebo Nigerians around who knew his status.

They would have easily handed him over

You are right.

@Agaba
I am not mad. It has worked out for some people. I know a chap who is doing so well in Port Harcourt now with all the money he made in the UK as an overstayer.
The silly UK govt even did him a favour by 'sending' him back to Nigeria free of charge.

There is no big deal in overstaying. The dude should overstay, work and send all the money home. After a while, he can send home everything he had, then phone the immigration services that he is an overstayer. The immigration dept will deport him to Nigeria. This system will save flights and other expences money for him.
No shaking, I wish him all the best.

What you have in Owerri, Orlu, Ogwashi Ukwu, Iselu Ukwu.Ubulu Ukwu, Abor, Ibeku, Asaba are all kindred heads that metamorphosed into Obis and Ezes and are less than 110 ten years old.
At Ezeagu, You may be right on 1040's and Nri, but some accounts say since 900AD. But what matters is that Nri Kingdom is the oldest in Nigeria.

This post should be in the foreign affairs section. That nothwithstanding. Great Britain should hold the island firmly.
The island was discovered by Great Britain and peopled by the British. While Spain had Argentina, Great Britain had Island.
It might have been close to Argentina but not theirs.
The most thing to happen to the island is to become an independent nation.

Michellin is from Edo state but of Ishan ethnic group. Having said that, your post is an irrelevant one and should be sent to the thrash bin .

EZE NRI --oldest in Nigeria. Since 900AD
EZE ARO--since 14th century
OBI ONITSHA since 17th century
OBI OF AGBOR since 15th century.
Eze Ekpeye since 19th century.

@AJALI.
Do not let some I.D.I.O.T.S deceive you.
It is IGBO.
ibo is incorrect.

Representing zone B.
