There are some certain things not clarified here. Probably, mrs Abayomi is not a pediatric nurse. In the U.K, THERE ARE DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF NURSING WHICH child nursing is one of them. It could be that she works only for agencies as some of this agencies do not send their staffs for training programmes.
Some nurses who do agency nursing do it just to get money not thinking about their limitations. Agency nursing jobs are not regular and as a result, some agency nurses do any shift offered them so that money will be in their accounts.
In this instance, the nursing and midwifery council has been too harsh in their action. It is a a winnable case for mrs Abayomi because, cases such as this only leads to the nurse either suspended or ask to go for further trainings. Also any firm employing her should know her limitations and be prepared to send her for further trainings to improve her knowledge. This is good for the nurse as well as the patient/client.

I know that my pops and uncles have one. I don't have one myself, but if I move to Nigeria permanently I'll definitely invest in one.

An armed citizenry is a safe and protected citizenry.

If I had my way, every Yoruba man above the age of 18 would have 6+ months of mandatory military training.[/quote]Ghadaffi had gun with him till death, yet where is he today?. Your advice will increase armed robbery in the south west as well as poor safety measures. The south west of this day has shown to the world how to overcome an impasse without war.  Abraham Adesanya and other Nadeco members have done it and others can still do it. No need to sound war alarms in the south west Biko.

@The thread starter, no need for that. The south west has got more worries than that of war. It is not their priority now. Some countries in this world do not depend on the strength of the fighting army but peaceful coexistence with neighbours. I believe south westerners believes in peaceful resolution to all conflicts. In terms of arms pillage, count the southwest out.

I always prefer 'standing aloof' to watch/read most comments to threads here on N/L but you are always a profound responder even when you joke. Yes, these people celebrating are actually descendants of Oduduwa, look at the names of the chieftain titles , they are all of Yoruba origins.

I know they would disagree but the truth will not be deterred. call a rose by a thousand names, it would still smell like a rose.

Agbalanze, ozo and other titles are of Yoruba origin?. Are you seeking for an attention or you just want to display stupidity in this thread?. Poor boy, I advice you to scram as you have nothing sensible to contribute.

Are Igbos this ugly in real life?

Get out of this thread stinking pig.

Mr. NRI please take a chill pill that I previously prescribed. This thread is not about whether Onitsha people are Igbo or not. It is about their culture. You seem very upset as indicated by Ifyalways.

Cool it now-I have not seen any person here that says Onitsha is not Igbo. Nevertheless, you have no basis to dispute the fact that Onitsha and other Anioma people have hybrid Igbo and Bini Cultures. Trust me I know this for a fact. I have a hybrid fiirst name that reflects these two cultures.

Enjoy this thread or proceed to create another thread where you can spew your venom about how Onitsha has occupied idemili land and borrowed Nri/Ndemili culture. You may also create a thread to discuss why Onitsha people called you "Nwa onye Igbo" because this seems to have riled you and made you very angry. However, this thread is not about you or your beloved Ndemili/Nri. It is about the colorful Ofala festival in Onitsha.

Mind you the Nri monarch may be held in high esteem but the most recognized Igbo monarch by people all over Nigeria is the Obi of Onitsha. He is the número uno by far. And the current Obi is very accomplished.

The bolded part is very debatable. The Asagba of Asaba seems to be edging it over Obi of Onitsha recently. May be you can start a thread with a pool in relation to the bolded.

Ibime:
OMG!. . . . Torres just missed over the bar from 3 yards out. . . . a miss just as bad as his miss against Manure. . . . dude must be mentally fragile. . . one bad game against Arsenal and he loses his confidence completely. . . . thats not the kinda striker you rely on on a weekly basis.

Anyway, poor performance but decent result. . . the kinda result you need when confidence is low. . . at least we get a clean sheet for the first time in ages.

Lampard saves AVB's hide once again. A fool will always live to recognise his folly. Mr AVB eye suppose done open by now.

Ibime nwannem, which one you no dey. During Carlo's reign, you were constantly asking 'una never sack, when una go sack', now Carlo is gone. Let's hope you don't start that comedy again with AVB. Biko take it easy, it shall be well.

The current Obi of Onitsha-Obi Achebe boldly told the world in 2009 during Igbo day celebration in Enugu that Onicha people are Igbo and has no Bini blood. Since in power, he has been very supportive to Ohanaeze and other Igbo cultural associations. He has also ignored invitations from Oba of Benin for Igue celebration and Oba's 30th coronation anniversary. Long live Obi of Onitsha, Long live Onicha people, Long live Anambara people and long live Ndigbo worldwide.

Ymodulus:
and poster ther is actually nothing wrong with this statement. When she said nigeria remains a continent she is talking from a figurative perspective and not conotative or literal piont of view. First notice her use of climax from STATE =) CONTINENT. this is to show with much emphasis what shez trying to say. Take an example George Bush once made a speech after a racism case saying though you black, white, yellow or whatsoever color america as long as you stay in washington you live we all live in a continent. Would you say he was wrong? No i guess because you blive hez white and should know more. But the truth is he his not neither is patience jonathan. So poster free this lady jor. Now i see i shouldnt be angry when my statesman(Beaf) put you guys in your proper places.

It shall be well with you.

Shocking.

A church ursher should be designated to smell the buttocks of church members to find out the actual culprit under such a circumstance. People should respect holy places.

Actually, there's nothing wrong in farting in church. It's a free gift of nature and God created nature. So, there you have it.

It is wrong and a bad manner.

Interesting. But Okpokwu LGA has more Igbo than Iju. However, thanks Chyz for this info.

I wonder if Ojukwu saw the same picture?

He even boasted of charging relief agencies "Land fees" before they are allowed to drop food aids for dying ibo kids.

@the poster, I can't believe that till this day, you are still spelling Ibo. Does it mean your keyboard can not type Igbo?.

@Ogiye, you are the most confused poster in this thread. You get so much confused each time you type. The problem with you is that you are not knowledgeable enough for this sort of discussion. Ukwuani man speaks Ukwuani just as Nsukka man speaks Nsukka. But Nsukka man will not be insane to claim that what he speaks is not Igbo. This is where you are making a mockery of yourself. Ukwaniman speaks Ukwani accepted, but Ukwani just like Nsukka and other related dialects are called Igbo. No group or dialect is more Igbo than another. It seems you smoke some cheap weed before logging unto nairaland.
Earlier, in your moronic exuberance, you said Igbo people before your eyes are slaves and your ''people'', yet majority of the Ukwuanis are happy being Igbo. Even at that, The Fulani's initially called the Oyos and neighbours Yoruba meaning unbelievers. Today the Oyos and neighbours have metamorphosed to Yoruba from Yoruba. Yet that are not insane to say they are not Yorubas because Fulanis say they are unbelievers.
Boy, am sick and tired of educating you here. What sort of brain do you have?.

ChinenyeN:
It's not about you taking back your words. It's about the two of us reaching an understanding, if possible.

You stated "If Ukwuani people are Igbo then the word "Ukwuani" would not have existed". Now, I don't know if you are aware, but simple, linear conventional thinking shows us that the Igbo say both "ukwu" and "ani" (common knowledge). "Ukwuani" is evidently a contraction of both "ukwu" (whether it be "ukwu" for foot/base or "ukwu" greatness/bountifulness) and "ani" (land), which the Igbo use. So how exactly does your statement make sense? Essentially you're sitting here, saying the exact opposite of what we all know to be true. You're implying that Igbo neither say "ukwu" nor "ani", and likewise could never have a word/contraction such as "Ukwuani".

That's why it doesn't make sense. [b]Unless you would like to elaborate on what exactly it is that you meant. [/b]Otherwise, you are clearly and evidently (redundancy for the sake of effect) lying to yourself.

Thanks Chinenye for your response. That lil boy (Ogiye) is a no-brainer.

Thank God Ndigbo remains Godly till date.

Abagworo:
I met an Ukwuani lady the other day and she told me she was Igbo and I asked which part and the response was Ukwuani.I think most of these people posting on NL denying Igbo are ill informed by their parents.The term "Ukwuani",Ukwuali","Ukwuala" and "Ukwuana" all mean "Southland" while "Enuani",Eluali",'Enuana" and "Eluala" all mean "Upland".

Correct.

aspabay:
We tried the Igbo men as Senate presidents, we ended up having 3 senate presidents in less than 2 years. Problem is, as good as the Igbos may be, they are not really united nor do they speak with one voice.

What a load of rubbish above. Which ethnic group speaks with one voice. The senate presidents you were talking about were not removed by Ndigbo but Nigerians. So quit chatting crap here.

igbo2011:
Ameachi? Chime? Imoke? Okonjo-Iweala? Ezekwesili? Who would be the leader?

Imoke is not Igbo while Amaechi, though an Igbo may not be the Igbo we want.
In my opinion, Igbo in 2015 or not, what Ndigbo needs in Nigeria is equality, justice and fairness.

ogiye:
Your name should be Andrew Fool! You remind me of one of my secondary school mate who during one of our inter school debate competitions stupidly went against the motion which he is supposedly to uphold, and do you know what?, he is an igbo boy!. Shallowed brain monkey read my lines! I did not say we will not have anything to do with the ibgos, what we are against is we (ukwani poeple) being referred as igbos. and that is the topic, You are for it and I am against it but your last post indirectly agreed with me that a tribe or clan will not bear another's name but theirs . Doll headed Andrew know you now that AN UKWANI MAN OR A GROUP PARTICIPATING IN ANY KIND OF SOCIAL ACTIVITY WITH THE IGBOS IS DOING IT AS AND FOR THE UKWANI PEOPLE UNDER THE COLLECTIVE BANNER OF BIAFRA NOT IGBO, ONYEIGBO MEANS A SLAVE IN UKWANI LANGUAGE. I hope that will sink in your doll brain.

I admire your stupidity here as you chat so much crap. Sadass, one would have expected you to come up with something intelligent to counter what I wrote, instead you chose to chat absolute bollock in your less than 10 posts. Where you not the asz-clown asking if any Igbo will accept to be called Ukwani?. Have you not thought how senseless and moronic that question was, babbon shitt. Baboon shitt-eater, you do not deserve any attention, Shitt face.

Well done Chelsea. Let's hope we get a favourable fixture on saturday. Playing against two prem teams so far hasn't been easy.
