I remember few months ago when Niger's defense officials were running their mouth, saying that their troops do not run from Boko Haram the way Nigerian troops do. Now, Boko Haram has caught their troops in a no-run situation!

so it calls for your celebration small mind.

mobuch:
And who told u, he is an ex-convict?

U need to become more enlightened n check ur facts b4 posting shiit

Mr enlightenment did your god father serve prison term or not?, in your enlightenment understanding Alamieyeseigha too is saint against his impeachment and judgement because it is the same pardon given to both by their clueless godson from otuoke

temitemi1:
GEJ my HERO! FAYOSE my ROLE MODEL!!

Kashamu your God father

Yeye people, Jonathan this, Jonathan that. Keep wishing yourselves goodluck. Jonathan remains the dumbest, complex, international embarassment and most obvious tribalist president Nigeria ever had. He should quickly go and be forgotten in the remotest part of otuoke

DonaldGenes:
Do you believe there are president and there are PRESIDENT in terms of Levels..

IBB nah big boy ..see fine boy no pimple. See discrimination, she no even offer our own GEJ a donkey ride.Nah waoh

johnnynwa:
Is she Hajia or what? She looks like a Christian! She exposes her neck, hands & others. I think Islam forbids that.

She is not a fundamentalist

ozioma11:
Very very sure.See his resemblence to El-Rufai.Blood doesnt lie

If from another woman for el rufai nko?

This guy is fake, he is the one sponsoring instigations against the president -elect.

Orijin101:
And parents from that kinda house will start complaining that their children are dull! please, why won't the children be dull

Hey smart dull man!,Pls what should the parents do to alleviate this situation?, To share antenana? or not to own one at all?

victoryalldway:
Mr. Gani Adams thank u for that visit. While our national assembly are still debating as to what to do but u ve done what a true leader should do.

That id!ot is jumping gun, what does he know about inter-national diplomacy. His visit is another disgrace to Nigeria, he's not half qualified to represent Nigeria at that level.

Psuedy:
Wrong....there is and has always been a complete igbo bible...R u not tired of all.dis igbo bif/hate..Ow do u live wit it?

THE UNION IGBO BIBLE: A CENTENARY.
Exactly hundred years ago, the Union Igbo Bible was produced in Egbu Owerri(1913).The translation from English Bible to Igbo lasted between 1906 to 1913.The Archdeacon Dennis led committee used the Igbo dialects of Onitsha, Owerri,Bonny, Arochukwu, and Uwana. Instead of embracing Union Igbo Bible as breakthrough in Igbo language development, an attempt towards Igbo language standardization and collective means of communication of NDI IGBO, it was out rightly rejected. The Union Igbo Bible was described as artificial lingua franca (Esperanto), a language of the prayer book and the Bible. To a large extent, inter denominational rivalry aroused when the Union Igbo Bible was produced. This great disservice to appreciate Archdeacon Dennis ingenuity is unscholarly, subjective and uncalled for. Unfortunately, leading scholars have described the Union Igbo as unreadable and unacceptable. It is against this background that the following sub themes are selected but not restricted to it:
.The Role of Christian Missionaries in Igbo Language Development
. Archdeacon Dennis, Union Igbo, Anglican Communion and Other Denominations
. Esperanto Igbo language and the School Curriculum
.The Rise of Igbo Orthography

Joe82834:
I am in my late twenties and we always had an Igbo Bible right from when I was a kid. Problem with Nigeria is that we rarely travel to other places or even bother to learn about them so we make so many false assumptions. You really don't realise how big and diverse this country is.firstly, this is not a counter but another educative piece ( maybe not complete) just like that of yoruba,for us to learn.looking forward to seeing same for other languages.Nigeria will be better, if we begin seeing things this way.thanks

bigfrancis21:
My mom used to have an Igbo bible (Akwukwo nso), same for my grandmother too. What are you talking about?

It is even online as you can read it here: https://www.bible.com/en-GB/bible/77/gen.1.igbob

If you are ignorant about something, educate yourself first before you open your mouth to expose your ignorance.

Excerpt from the book of Genesis in Onitsha dialect during the early days of Christianity before Igbo Izugbe (Central Igbo) was introduced.

Hahahahah

Igbo Language and The Christian Worship

somegirl1:
What are you on about?
There are full Igbo bibles. Always have been.
My gran owned one.

Because you don't know your problem is the biggest problem in life. Go and ask your pastor, the content of ibo bible.

Babprosper20:
oook, always a counter thread

No, they can't counter, only to display their inferiority complex, reason why they can't have complete holy bible in ibo language. It is good to lead and others follow.

dammytosh:
Don't die in your Folly.

and desist from dumb and f00lish statements. You can read and ignore.

Honestly, I am happy that the master class display of the SW is hurting the barbarians from SE of Nigeria and they can't manage it.

Monogamy:
Former Ekiti state Governor, Dr. Fayemi Kayode, pictured carrying the travelling bag of Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido. They were spotted at the airport's departure hall following the emir’s visit to President–elect, Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja yesterday April 21.

Proof that it is not his own? Sanusi as an emir doesn't carry anything, his personal luggage is strictly handled by the 'dongaris'.

adeyiga3:
Why did he now say 28 before. Warey man

Jonathan is error at default. Waiting for another soft-landing praises from his barbaric clan

This girl is only selling 'toto', it is disgusting seeing things like. who cares about your pictures?. It is shameful and valueless.

fistonati:
Ask ursef hw u are thinking. Wen GMB hasn't been sworn in, u are talking abt Osinbanjo.

You voted for party not candidate

Who is he? Jonathan apologist telling people's General what to do.

SeverusSnape:
could this be true?
If true, Rest in peace!
I just hope they won't blame it on Jonathan...(or PDP).

One of the numerous reasons IGP was sacked to cover heinous past, present and to come before May 29 acts.

Jonathan is corrupt, he's cleaning up his tracks. He doesn't want incoming government to have proper understanding of his shady deals.

Sweetguy25:
This man should remember that he's 72 years old and he has tougher tasks ahead like stabilizing the price of crude oil and finding the chibok girls. Frolicking with Obasanjo and every tom dick and harry will deplete his energy.

can't you see that he has presidential carriage and confidence that was absolutely and obviously lacking in goodluck ebele Jonathan? No one is an island, he needs to tap from the wealth of experience of the most successful head of state/president of Nigeria in person of OLUSEGUN Okikiola Obasanjo, if u don't want to hear that bitter truth, you can perish with sadness

Folakeme:
Becos they r looking for AIDS

NO. To dissect and analyze

olojukokoro ni bobo yen

kayo80:
Please share na!!! Please sir!!!

dont mind the names dropper, is he Kola?

Tinubu omo ako ni e joo. You eventually actualized the dream

babasanti:
The is where the new sheikh mansour of nigeria politics should be brought in , he has the resources. That mans name is Nyesom Wike. pdp should change its name, rebuild the party around Fayose, wike and agbaje

Who will finance Agbaje? Mind u, effects of votes bought by Jonathan helped Agbaje/Pdp in Lagos, they can never have access to such money again
Fayose is from a very small state with little little money. I see whole of SW in APC including fayose.
Wike and pej will not last together, and they don't have the skill of Tinubu.
Bitter truth is that no Obj no formidable Pdp.
