coolestkc: "Ibo" and "Igbo" is not interchangeable. "Ibo" refers to the tribe, while "Igbo" is the language they speak FYI

gbadexy: My take on these e-bashing is that ibos generally are fond of irritating and insulting people first and they act as if you are attacking them unfairly if you respond.
I know for certain that the reason most yorubas here are quick to jump on a thread that portrays ibos in bad light is to get back at them for their initial insults.
Its the way you people are. Some said an hausa man called yorubas cowards in many words and instead of the yorubas to address him , they were facing the ibos, I really wonder at this kind of logic. The ibos jumped on the thread and started calling yorubas cowards and insulting them that hausas have conquered them, when the yorubas responded to those ibos insulting them, they would say why didn't you face the hausa man that called you a coward, why face ibo and bring them into it, selectively forgetting that they started the insults.
Just yesterday when two teenagers were killed in enugu, the yorubas had to retaliate because when those fulanis also killed some people in lagos, instead of the ibos to say evil is evil, they quickly turned it into yorubas are cowards and it can't happen in their land. Small wonder yorubas too retaliated yesterday.
If you know you can't take insults, stop dishing it out to others first.
Just as you people called hausas cowards and were taunting them in their land during 1967 , so you are still continuing in yorubaland. Just as your taunts provoked and push the northerners to slaughter your people back then, similar would still happen in southwest one sure day and that would silence you forever like the hausas. Only you will start crying pogrom forgetting you pushed the people to their endurance limit.

satysaca: we are IBOS he is correct we are not IGBOs our language is IGBO we are IBOS or IBO so he is very correct.

Sun of god: Extortion And Arrasment of Motorits In Ibadan

Sun of god: Hopefully they are collecting to invest in the education system in Ibadan -

Kobojunkie: I could never be in her/or your shoes because I believe it is stupidi_ty to consider wealth an impediment.

I would like to use this avenue to introduce people to counseling. Ladies, if you are having a hard time discovering your self worth, or understanding who, in all the conflicting pictures you have been fed as a kid, you should be, then may I suggest you please look for a self-esteem psychiatrist. They are an especially great resource for ladies who don't feel they are getting the good men or that they deserve the best in life. I know that in some countries, Nigeria, for instance, there are not a lot of self-esteem psychiatrists/counselors, but if you look for them,you will find them, and they can help talk you through some of the conflicts going on in your heads and minds. Please now is as good a time to call a Psychiatrist/counselor to help you resolve the many feelings you may be dealing with so you can start sooner enjoying your life where you are today, on the way to where you are going.

kokoye: The girl must be ugly...sorry. or somthn is surely wrong with her. Even she herself is insecure. trying to trick insecure guys like her into marriage..liar.

If you are wealthy, young, rich and confident, you wil get a guy...even in Nigeria.

If they dont ask you out, why dont you seek out a guy you like and ASK HIM OUT?

Insecure person.

End of story.

Dede1: Even if the marriage is free of charge, a man who can not serve himself three plates of meal a day will not think of the trouble.

Dede1: It is diabolically idiotic for any person to remotely insinuate that bride price is the reason behind the increase in the number of the unmarried youths in Nigeria in general or Imo State in particular. The major issue is lack of jobs. An empty stomach does not think of marriage.

mbulela: with all his fraudulent tendencies, Ohakim is laughing his heart out.
Imo State are on a very long thing.

Kobojunkie: It has nothing to do with Lagos/Ohio. If you have something against any specific thing I said. Address it.

On Women liberating themselves, are you being serious? So it is OK for the leaders to impose a price on them, but when it comes to fighting issues that come up as a result, the women are on their own? Really?

Kobojunkie: um . . . wrong. Tradition is OPTIONAL and implemented whenever we choose to. That is how many of those who are able to switch traditions do so. It is not mandatory and does not rule your life or anyones.

And what you said about Ibo men handing over their daughters, that is a lie. I know of many women who have safely wed in various countries without needing to go through the traditional wiggle.

Kobojunkie: BULL_SHIOT! This is a joke!

Have they dealt with any of the problems that have arisen from the "selling" of these women off to men who consider them property? Does haggling on the price somehow correct the futures that likely await the many more women being pushed into these marriages?

If anything, at this time in our development, this culture should be more symbolic and not a way for people to make money off of these girls without much consideration given to the likely fate that awaits them as a result of their being "sold" off in such a manner.

Ramcie: It's so sad. Having the same problem with my ple. Though am not from the east. They want to kill the poor guy for me

Dede1: If Adaplam did not generate revenue for Imo State, probably the palm seedlings Rochas Okorocha intends to plant will generate revenue for Imo State. I guess this so-called governor of Imo State has a magical wand.

Dede1: It is very scary to note that few Nigerians are inhumanly and ignorantly gullible. Yet they will be the first to denigrate people who tend to have socio-political views different from theirs. It is asinine to hear people associate Imo State and palm oil production with Rochas Okorocha.

One wonders if the people are talking about the same Rochas Okorocha who had allegedly sold Adapalm to Roche Group. It must be recalled that Adapalm and ITC were the only two profit-making parastatals in Imo State yet Rochas Okorocha has allegedly sold them to companies fronting for him.

ilugunboy: But if they are out of Diesel business ...they can always look for alternative business to invest in.

They are smiling to the bank out of the mysteries of Nigerians.

The Diesel marketers are Nigerians enemies.....

ilugunboy: A friend of mine that deals in AGO at the Ibru Petroleum Jetty in Apapa complained bitterly to me this morning that business have been terribly affected by the present level of power supply in the country.

My question to him then was..would you prefer the good of all over the good of the few?

Apparently some people will do everything to sabotage the improved power supply.

The fuel marketers are not smiling these days.

kutchs: @one-naira it is true, he said so even though I find it impracticable. What is refreshing though is that such dreams could force him to develop the enormous potentials Imo State has in abundance. Palm Oil is gold and if that sector is well developed, Imo will become golden. Better said than done though.
