You are mixing apples with Oranges. For example - The name Lagos is a Portuguese word for Lake, Oya go and invite Cristiano Ronaldo to come become Oba of Lagos now, since na Portugal get Lagos, Agbaya - Ile Ibinu ko, Ile Iluji ni

Abeg nor use laff wunjure me o.

Na Figo he suppose invite to be Eleko. CR7 may be too busy making money for now.

Since they feared that the north would be short changed

I hope the north is now better developed than it was during Jonathan's time

Abi o.

When we said in the beginning that ethno-regional considerations were at play to destabilise GEJ govt and get him out, we were called "wailers & Tanoids". Thank God people who knew their game are now admitting it.

I hope they are now enjoying the addition of herdsmen, killers gangs, kidnappers and gun men to Boko under their Northern presidency.

Nice one.

Ajibade123:
I am so disappointed that you are educated and you still take age as a big deal
so 35 years old is bad for a female to get married??

if you interested in Canada, UK, Belarus work and study visa
package check my signature to be added to the gc.

Age might not seem important but I have seen some women reach menopause before 35. Not many but I have seen firsthand. Education helps to ask many questions and look at things from many angles like the OP is doing.

Ask yourself: would the lady care about age too? What happens if maybe when she's 36 or 37 they want to have kids and there's fertility issue? The issue may be with the guy but everyone will automatically assume it is with the lady.

OP needs a frank discussion with his girlfriend. He cannot let her sacrifice a lot only to find out about his lies much later and maybe still get the blame if things don't pan out well.

descarado:
See maid.
They didn't care to dress her up on this great ocassion.
How much will it cost to dress her up traditionally like the rest?

Because they don't want guests to mistake her for who she isn't which is house maid. Somebody beneath them.

Such a beautiful young lady.

You sabi our big men gan gan.

PHijo:
Is premium times an IPOB media organisation?

You didn't get the irony he meant.
Honestly time for us to be honest with ourselves and leave tribalism aside.

Many are seeing the truth but prefer to stick their heads in the sand or blame others they see as opponents.

We cannot all follow the same path. That is the nature of a pluralistic society. We only have to have a common goal of achieving peace, justice and prosperity. We are free to have different Ideas of how to arrive there.

I am interested in knowing how a Yoruba man has an Urhobo first name.

Many
Yoruba and Edoid names can look similar. That include Isoko, Urhobo, Degema, Benin, Esan, Afemai etc on Edoid side and Olukumi, Itsekhiri, Igalla, etc on the Yoruboid etc

It might be a lie. Maybe he didn't say so.

But if he did, then quite obvious that he won't touch restructuring with a barge-pole. Simply because he knows the North that broker power in 9ja want no restructuring.

Quite a pity really. Despite my misgivings about Tinubu and our politicians generally, I thought he at least had the skill of spotting good talents to work with. Just like OBJ. Spotting talents becomes useless if you do politicking for own benefit instead of what you know that the masses and country desperately need.

Rawhumper:
For once in your entire life, you said a POLITICAL TRUTH!!

I am full Ibo guy but seems am marrying from Edo land. Though her mum was saying Edo dont marry Ibo but we want to break that barrier.

I love my wife to be and am so surprised that with my traditional and foundational attachement, i could end up marrying a non Ibo.(Left one i would have married, she is from Jos).

My Edo relatives married many Igbo ladies. A few married Igbo men too. The oldest of the children from such marriages are in their 60s now. My SW relatives also married several Igbo people. Left to my dad, I should have married an Igbo girl born and bred next door but for me, she was too much like a little sister to overcome that closeness and date her.

Fact is wherever grown up people come together, they will date and marry irrespective of religion, tribe or creed. We cannot politicise everything. Nature triumphs most times.

Dem say weytin?

The foolish leaders that would enter into their shells once the war starts & be following the news on TV . If you hope to see them hold weapons during fight,,,, na OYO una dey ooo.

Don't be victims,,, abeg!

Most of those looters have foreign passports by investment in Dominica, St Kitts and Nevis etc. Those passports are visa free to Europe and America.

All their Kids have foreign passports or residency too.

They will be commenting from Dubai, UK, USA, France, Canada, etc.

Henix:
Just look at how they dump the man in that FRSC vehicle. Is that not enough to finish him before they got to the hospital? 9ja

Does the living get good treatment in 9ja, never mind the dead?

9ja overcast tey tey. RIP man.

seguno2:
First of all, who is your average Nigerian? The GL08 civil servant with three children and a working spouse? Or what?
Secondly, is the resort targeted at the average Nigerian, irrespective of how you define them?

Well, until businesses begin to target average people, their success will remain modest. I travel quite a bit and all successful countries cater for the average citizen unless they are a luxury or top-end business.

If a business of that scale does not know who the average Nigerian is, then it hasn't done market research properly since 1985. You will argue that it has survived for long. Well, it seems not to have grown other branches in Abuja, Port Harcourt or other popular destinations.

Anyway, 9ja has this elitism mentality. Your friend David Mark as Communication Minister under Military regime once said that telephone is not for everybody.

Oyinbo later exposed his stupidity by making GSM available to everyone. If he was in charge of smart phones today, common people should not have it.

Bornsinner7:
Wow.. Haven't heard about them if not for now.. like the old sayings "learning never ends"

Good one for them but I hope say them no qualify to dey dash points

They have very pretty ladies. Many like Mulatto. Some be like Arab mixed race. Comoro Islands are not far from Madagascar but a much smaller Island. They probably have less than 1 million people. I guess many of those footballers were born and raised in France and other Western countries.

Looks good but no people around in the pics.
It's a bit pricey for the purchasing power of an average Nigerian.

Xenry:
Damn! This guy resembles Seuñ. Seuñ is that you?
Op, where una dey find wife materials abeg, na Liabilities full my DM oo.

Liposure:
Nigeria is a conglomerate of the northerners, by the northerners and for the northerners. And as long as the north continue to hold sway in the political sphere, seccessionist agendas shall continue hitting a brick wall.

Wrong. For, of and by the Northern elites. The Northern masses are even far worse off than the Southern masses. Re-negotiating Nigeria is in the interest of 99% of Nigerians. Only the top 1% looting us dry don't want it.

Kingcalls:
Which England player has done anything for England in the past 50 yrs??

Paul Gascoigne. He won nothing for or with England but at least he played skillfully and passionately like Diouf did for Senegal.

Funny enough, he's probably the most controversial England player of the past 50 years.

BRATISLAVA:
By the time the contract to build the museum is hyperinflated, it will be another drain. Let's hope the drama of receiving the artefacts will not outweigh the truth behind what they will be doing with them.

Well, we need to begin somewhere. Who knows tomorrow? It is pregnant.

BRATISLAVA:
When they return it, what exactly will happen? When the "stolen" artefacts are returned, what will change?

Africans fighting for things that they can't even handle. When all the reparations take place, what next? The victimhood is strong.

A new standard museum is being built to house returned artworks as more are expected to follow. Other countries will now be effing hypocrites to retain their own share of loot.

Very nice. Good mummy.

He could be "Upcoming Gay" �

Yet to blow.

maureensylvia:
Ur posts reads gay all-over you... But that's by the way.

If u really want to help the lady, you know what to do. This is domestic violence for heaven sake.

I wonder why you didn't mention cautioning the dude on the gayish part but you were only interested on the wife beating

For the Reverend fr, in as much as he's trying to prevent divorce, he should know when to call it a limit.

Lots of people are gay and lesbian. 9ja reportedly has the highest online gay porn watchers. Na cats dey watch an in 9ja? Na hypocrites full everywhere. If OP is not gay, he hasn't had the chance to be yet.
How can you entertain gay chat from a guy married to your online friend?

Oh boy you be confirm werey o, Iswearogawd.

You should be writing for a weekend funny paper.

Gbagura:
Obi of onitsha the asslicking useless King


All these useless idle monarchs wey no add any value to the country.

Obi of Onitsha is a very very great monarch. He comports himself with much wisdom and dignity.

Oba of Benin does not go out that much to places that much. After all he can see these leaders at will.
Oba of Benin considers the reason for such meetings carefully.

People show a picture of Oba at the back in a picture, well the Oba must have a sceptre bearer next to him. In that picture the Oba went to tell visiting prince Charles that Britain should return Benin Art works, not just a for the Jamboree. It is on record he told prince Charles just that.

Today a museum is being built in Benin that is capable of accommodating such precious art works. Inadequate museum was one of the major excuses UK was giving for keeping the works in UK.

Different monarchs have different histories and traditions, they do their things in that manner I presume.

Alafin also wasn't present. Leader of a former great empire too. Live and let's live.

Buhari has destroyed Nigeria beyond redemption. Nigeria is now the most dangerous place in the world

No, Sai Baba goons told us we were Tanoids when we Warner them. Everybody is enjoying now they will tell us I hope.

chival:
I actually thought Honda Halla was the official name of that car.
You forgot to mention the benz nicknamed frog eye.

He forgot Mazda Coupe called sleeping on duty or any retractable headlight sports version car of same name.

Toyota Crown called Igwe.

There is pent up anger and frustration everywhere. It is a major social problem. It causes arguments, fights and violence as these thing seek avenues to be released.

You see headlines like man stabs best friend over 100 Naira, girl stabs roommate over missing make-up kit, etc.

thatigboman:
he is not even talking of making 22 million naira in a year, but saving. From business. Which particular business?

My brother I heard all this talk from people 10 years ago. How they have bought a new car in 9ja, etc.
Now they say 9ja nor be country o, na messed up place, I want to relocate for my kids sake, etc. I just say "eiya". I never told anyone I was flexing abroad but when talking they use style to veer into how dem dey make am in 9ja. I got fed up with their game of comparison and I always avoided that topic.

Me that stayed abroad, didn't I think of my children before staying or they think it wasn't a sacrifice to stay abroad?

The sky is big enough for all Birds to fly. Relocate if you want to, stay if you want to stay.

PDJT:
-For a selfish “millionaire” who is happy in Nigeria, and probably has his own security and emergency services in case of his inevitable health emergencies, you write very badly.

-When I saw this “Dick-measuring” thread on the politics section, I knew it will end up with your above submission.

-Was it not last year or so, that your country’s data office said; majority of you Nigerians doesn’t even have up to #500k in savings.

My question is how many Nigerians in Nigeria make at least 22m a year never mind save that much? 10% of the population?

If 70% of Nigerians live on one dollar daily in their own country, why expect every Nigerian abroad to use your 22m yearly saving as a benchmark for success?

Some Nigerians probably earn less than 22m a year abroad but live in a sane society, their kids get great education and health care and don't have to be local govt, state govt and FG in one person to have borehole water, electricity and security via maiguard.

Our leaders go to that same America to get great medical care at the expense of the public purse.
You don't have to compare your savings with those of people abroad. Look inwards and do what is right for you.

Many people in 9ja who out of the blue began saying how so much better 9ja is (as if looking for word of your mouth) and how they were thriving 10 years back, 90% are now lamenting that they want to relocate since about 4 years now. Like I didn't say a word 10 years ago, I am also not saying a word now.

Kriss216:
I just don't want to believe that man standing here is an Oba in Yorubaland.

Why should an Oba vacate his throne, just to stand and talk to one of his subjects?

.

Maybe Na Ba'ale. Anyway, in some parts of 9ja, they have reduced monarchs to two for one kobo. Thru create monarchs for fun.
