Eya.... Chai who do you like this?

OP, your friend na very funny guy. What what he expecting? Abuja babe for that matter. His wife only had a party and other regular runs stuff. Even some married women dey do their runs steady and their hubby will never know. Na today?

Let him divorce this one and marry another one na.

If care is not taken, his new one could be an expert in twenty-some groove parties.

Dating and marriage na gamble these days o.

He should better manage her like that. Unless he just opts for a couple of baby mamas and forget marriage.

The idea of whether she want to change na scam. The lady is still in touch with her runs friend. A very good money offer from her friend could lure her into it again.

I don't really appreciate all these ndlea noise making....its absolutely unnecessary......connections is what we need not online trials

How will you stop people sneaking drugs into the consignment of an innocent foodstuff exporter? A very tricky thing.
To trust anybody or any process in 9ja is very difficult now.

Most of the promises were obviously fake and unrealistic. In fact, i'm sure most people did not believe them. They just voted Jonathan out.

They did increase minimum wage to 30k though. Thats a promise fulfilled.

Even if 30k can now afford less than 8k did in 2015?

You must put it in the context of their promise to make N1=$1.

Redomi:
Na because we dey poor na why we humble, make we hit big money, na den you go know whats up

Absolutely correct. Until a man has some money, you won't know his true character.

Feed a poor man, take him into your house, be kind to him, show him the way, etc. Once he has made money, it takes a very Godly person not to betray you or disrespect you later.

So never inconvenience yourself just to be good to others. Do only what easily afford to do. Talking from experience.

If a child is a bastard, whose fault is it?

The case is manslaughter at best. He didn't plan it, not pre-meditated, he was provoked and might not have even known how or why he reacted. He was in a sleepy (drunk-like) state.

The result is obviously heinous and sad but the details will be looked at. No autopsy result to confirm strangulation/asphyxiation. In many countries, confession must match evidence to be solid in prosecution process.

Let's GUARD our tongue!

RIP to her.

This is why sometimes I reply these guys to set the record straight. Education in Nigeria is currently nothing to write home about. We Edo people are also not doing enough, what stop each family from writing their own family history for a start, a project which I am already helping to finance within my own family. Our ancestors who came into contact with the Europeans as early as the 1400s didn't see the need to learn the art of writing, we are just lucky that early foreigners wrote aspects of our history, we can already see how those whose ancestors learn how to read and write starting from late 1800s are rewriting our history and mis-educating our people about our history. The Op even claim to be Edo.

Let me tell you the truth about the bolded. I began such an effort 6 years ago. It didn't go anywhere. Please let me not talk about how much I wasted on it. I gave it up. Look, most people are interested only in money to share. One big mistake is to try to involve too many people. Of course the idea is to get as much input as possible. Which in normal countries, would be the right thing. But some generations of 9ja people have got too used to embezzling and sharing money. Only few know the value of history. When you bring that idea, their impression is that you have too much money.

If they can't get their hands on they money, some will just constitute an obstacle for no reason. Elderly well educated people I am talking about.

The best way is to get young intellectuals with a passion for history. They see things with keen, innovative, digital eyes, not corrupt analogue eyes. I had to find an alternative. Not writing anymore, as side-lining them and going ahead would have caused offence to many.

The only people I see showing genuine great passion for Edo history on social media are young people, such as GBD. That tells you that only the youth can rescue the situation.

...

Samuk, the way history has been rewritten by those tribes that the British favoured after 1897 and benefitted initially from 1914 amalgamation and post-independence, is beginning to miseducate some Edo people. Say around 1986, if I greeted elderly people "Lamogun or La'Umogun", they will recite the "oriki", uwaenmwen or praise of Umogun descendants. I would have to politely wait for them to finish before proceeding on my merry way. My experience as a young chap. Edohen, Ero, Elawure, Ezomo and other descendants also have their oriki. A chap who greets Lamogun today might even get a reply in Pidgin English from the elder.

Kids today may not even know that there is something like oriki.
Edo people brought up in Lagos are helping to spread the myth that Edo people come from Yoruba. That is how their "accommodating" hosts educated them.

For anyone to use languages or dialects spoken today in various districts of former Benin Empire to decide or conjure up what the origins or demographics of those areas were around 1440-1473 when Oba Ewuare I reigned, is an abysmal disservice to scholarship and common sense.

But at least the guy has enough fantasy and attempted to think, albeit being misguided.

Maynman:
Before a woman can cheat, alot has to happen and it deals with her emotions, talkless of a married woman, if the other man wants to fvck her tomorrow, he’ll.

And who told you the other man is not doing it steady as we speak?
OP's life is even at risk. A woman can do anything to cover such disgrace. Especially these days people form religiosity up and down, facing shame is a heavy thing.

Johnnyjohnnyman:
Good day all. I have posted exactly 2 months ago concerning my fourth child I went ahead with the DNA test unfortunately I am not her father.

Right now a lot of things have been going through my head i am shattered and depressed.

I don't know yet what is going to happen in my marriage I just don't know if the marriage will work or not.

I just wanted to keep you updated about the DNA.

Previous thread:

Sorry dude but first thing first. Keep calm. Not easy but try. You have more secrete investigations to do.

Please do maternity test on the said child. Getting DNA sample of your wife should be easy. If the baby belongs to her, then she's the kid's mother. Hospital swapped the baby yarn will be a non-starter.

At the same time, do paternity test on all the other kids. Maybe she was already working with the colleague before the other kids were born. Whether they resemble her colleague or not. If she wasn't working with him then, they can still belong to another guy in theory.

Once all that is sorted, then carefully weigh your options.

Good luck!

Edoziesmart:
You mistook antelope meat to local deer meat or what? I know what I'm saying as long as what the OP bought is what we call "Ele" in ìgbo land the meat taste better. The one that the meat taste more better among all the whole bush meat I have ever tasted is Grasscutter "Nchi".

I see that its a matter of difference in taste. Grasscutter is so popular that people now have grasscutter farms in 9ja. Stop to it at Ore travelling between East and West, it is one of the most popular meat with egusi soup and eba/garri.

That baby deer in the picture, the white marks disappear when mature. Very cheap in my area. Seen as very tasteless. I won't even by for 5k. The grey and smaller duiker antelope is far better meat.

Edoziesmart:
That's baby antelope. We Igbos call it "Ele". The 15k is very expensive to buy this baby antelope. The actual price is 5k if it is in my side in Enugu State. If you are in Enugu you can chat me up via my number in my signature to give you contact of my guy in that village that is a good hunter. The person will be supplying you adult antelope.
Just cook it the same way you cook goat meat. The meat taste better like goat meat. I usually eat meat of this animal once once when ever I travel to village.

You can't be serious.

In my side people don't like the meat. Very tasteless. Tastes like fibre. Very very cheap. One of the worst meat I have ever tasted.

The only good thing is the green grass flavour of the meat.

This is a baby deer. When mature those white marks will disappear.

Not really tasty at all. Only few bush meat are that tasteless.

VERY expensive for the price. I would prefer grass-cutter meat of much smaller size for that price.

PrinceMajestic:
he was once just a HRH before he became HRM, so no big deal if I use such word to describe him in expressing my displeasure with his sending royal entourage to grace a show of pain, slavery and massive theft from the very father throne that birthed ours. I don't care if they're on loans or not, you think you know history of white men invasion? Maybe but you can never know the effects of it on the palaces. If you were born and raised in a primogeniture palace you would feel the real pain those muthafuckas caused. I don't need to argue with you because you can never have an idea what I'm talking about as we both belong to opposite worlds.

PM, I understand your position. But as from 1914 upon restoration, Benin had to become very pragmatic. Oba Eweka II had to be very savvy and wise to restore the monarchy. At least the Germans are doing more to return more of the artefacts. The British that looted and sold to others are still aloof about returning the large quantity in British Museum and other collections. When Prince Charles visited 9ja, other people were bragging about which row their kings sat in the meeting with Charles. Oba Ewuare II went to the meeting to ask the British for Benin artefacts to be returned. Not to Famzing with Charles. That is the difference between how Benin see the world and what others feel is important to them.

Benin resisted the British because we have had a long history with Europeans and we knew that colonisation would be disastrous. We always wanted co-operation, learn from them what we found useful but be independent. We did that for centuries before 1897. Since 1553 with with the British.

Yes, there needs to be engagements with various people, friends or former foes, for the benefit of Benin. As a former ambassador, Oba Ewuare II knows these things.

luvinhubby:
The same confab that APC, Tinubu & Buhari frustrated & abandoned it's report also only to turn around and reduce Nigeria & Nigerians to hungry paupers as was confirmed by Festus Keyamo on Channels tv.

We missed a glorious opportunity in 2015 to Nigeria around for good, we have another opportunity

Don't mind those people. 20 years from now they will still be blaming Jonathan.

Who signs a sensitive document months before 2015 election? Knowing fully well that most of 9ja elite benefitting from status quo opposed it?
Of course he had to wait to win 2015 election first. Even if he signed it late in 2014 what time would he have had to implement it with election 2015 so close? You can't take politics out of these things. He needed to be deliberately ambiguous on it until he wins 2015. That was the best thing to do politically.

Those who ganged up to stop Jonathan's re-election didn't want implementation of the Confab result. Therefore, poorly informed Nigerians didn't know that 2015 election was also a sort of referendum on Confab. Jonathan wins 2015 election, he signs it and begin to implement, Buhari wins and ditches it as it is now. Simple!

The Dutch royal carriage

When was that pic taken?

If recently, then NL is far less progressive than I used to believe. That carriage should be in a Museum to enlighten people about cruelty to black people in their history.

Very nice write up on Ijero.

OP, is it this Ijero Ekiti that the founder was closely linked with Ojugbelu, the founder of Owo in Ondo State?

Thanks.

Buhari: Fellow Presidents it’s good to be a president

Take a closer look at the artwork on the Royal carriage

What the....
Please whose royal carriage is this?

Let's tease out the facts first. Who has C of O or relevant land title over the land?

Were people warned by the rightful owners of the land to stop and desist from trespassing?
What is the legal position/status of the land?

We Africans like to be too emotional most times and forget what is right or legal and claim victimhood.

I don't know who is right but if you do not understand Benin tradition, you talk ignorantly.

By Benin tradition, a new Oba can amend existing traditional law if people now hide under it to perpetrate illegality. Oba gha rioba, oghi domwen iyiogbon.

Not destroying already built houses was to protect ancestral homesteads (Igiogbe) when irresponsible children would sell family homesteads, demolished by rich new owners and family members chased out. With ancestors still buried in that plot/house.

Should we now allow the new rich to just buy up traditional land/ground from greedy local landgrabbers? It was the palace that proclaimed the law to stop tearing down homesteads in the past. So you now want the palace to become the victim of a law that meant well for the land but now abused by greedy lawbreakers?

All these localities/communities had large hectares of land decades back but all now sold. After eating the money, they now trespass and sell other people's land illegally.

Alexgman1:
In every relationship I find myself, I always try my best to please & satisfy my woman even to my own detriment but it seems no matter what u can never pls a woman. Only few women out there are sincere, loyal & faithful.

My recent & 4th relationship was the most tasking. I fell in love with this girl out of pity & compassion. She was the 1st child of 14 kids. Her mum is late & her dad is based in cameroun with his other 2 wives. I vowed to love & care for her & her sibblings as if they are mine. I sacrificed all i had to make them happy & comfortable.

But the issue is she wanted everynight sex but i couldnt attend to her always. My work was time & energing cosuming so I can't over stress myself. After 1year & a half she left me & went back to her ex. It took me 5 months to get over it.

Recently I called her to come celebrate my birthday with me. I took her to a fast food we eat & drink alot & she even ordered take aways 4 her sibblings. I took excuse to go & do POS & dat was how i left her to pay #24,000 bill.

I don't want to tell you what is in my mind because I don't really know you. But a lady dey her own jeje, you invited her out and refused to pay. Her leaving you may not just be down to sex only. Maybe your immaturity played a part in it. She left you when she wasn't happy with you, whatever the reason. She has liberty to do so. No evidence that she even cheated on you.
Be man enough to apologise to her and pay that money fast. If you be my brother na flog I go flog you.

When you read comments here you will understand how DOCILE an average NIGERIAN is
How on Earth will those guys budget #2m daily for diesel.were they powering the whole community?

Aside docility, understanding of maths and applying it daily is very hard for most Nigerians, even graduates. Especially with the proliferation of magic exam centres. Anything beyond counting money and some basic measurements, most can't do it.

Fact is that in 9ja, people capitalise on every opportunity to embezzle public money. It's all lizards lie prostrate. Hard to trust anyone.

NwokoloOwa:
See how Atiku cleverly dodged the issue of scheming to be MKO Abiola running mate in a Muslim-Muslim ticket which is on record.

Well, 9ja was a clearly different country back then: No bandits, herdsmen, ISWAP, Boko or Owo Church mass murder terrorism. No agitation for Biafra or Oodua Republics.

Abiola/Kingibe didn't matter. Not now.

tctrills:
In summary, Fayemi is saying that Muslims would not vote for Tinubu if he chooses a Christian vice but Christians should vote for Tinubu even though he chose a Muslim vice.

Look, I thought this Fayemi get sense small but alas politics makes people very useless.

If true, let's see how he will spin this.

naija4life247:
Under PDP or Labour Party definitely. APC don't welcome prostitutes and pornography actresses

You may be right. The bolded prefer rubbing shoulders with Sambisa fundamentalist jihadists and their sponsors.
Killing innocent people by bandits and terrorists is far better than pornography, abi?

OK
