Can someone explain why tribunal is delivering judgment when Tinubu won’t be around? Is there something we don’t know? Are they targeting him or it’s just a coincident
Maybe like Gowon many years ago lipsrsealed

Don’t mind those one.

I remember few years ago where they delude themselves that Yoruba are more in UK and Igbo are more in USA.

If not for us that refuted that lies, they would have still continue to parrot that false statement. Now any Ibo guy is always careful to say Igbo are more in USA especially my friend Ofoigbo .
Igbos are more in USA.

Adding Yoruba language to the test in Maryland doesn't validate that Yoruba have bigger population.

The difference is the way the language is spoken.. I am igbo but understand a but of Yoruba.

In igbo, not many people know all the words, say like ten naira etc or to tell time..

Over the years.. igbo have been Englishized grin

Also Yoruba parents are more quick to teach there kids yoruba but Igbos not so much.

There are many igbos in Nigeria that there kids don't speak igbo but that could be true with yoruba also but the percentage of that is higher in Igbo parents /household.

Same outside Nigeria. In London for example.. it is not rare to see an England born kid switch between yoruba and English seamlessly but it is for igbo.. you don't always see that..

That's why I say be proud of yourself, your heritage and people will respect that. I remember growing up.. I was always told I sound igbotic. grin grin but my yoruba friends were never told they sound Yorubatic.. grin

So many igbos do switch to English when communicating and thus the language is slowly dying ...

Why are you fueling chaos with misleading headline??

How did all of those comments identify themselves as obideints??

Please stop that nonsense..

There are many Tinubu supporters that want to know the truth as well.. whether Tinubu attended CSU as he said or not those Tinubu's supporters would still stand behind him but they just want to know the truth since there support for his candidacy was not because he attended Chicago State University..

So stop the division and the misleading headlines that's ungodly!!

For some reasons I don't know, many of our house owners are no longer looking at the option of Terrazzo these days.
Frankly my brother.. the thing tire me oo..

It's like every one is on the "follow do" tile crazy, including me as much as I hate to admit it.

Well, in my defense I did search for reputable company that could do it.. no one, the couple that I found I didn't like the picture of their previous jobs.. I just said make I kukuma just do tiles to avoid story that touches.

The flat where I grow up was built in the early 70s had this terrazzo flooring, still looks nice to this day. Very low maintenance flooring.

Name the communities in Imo and Anambra that do that, so I can enquire further.

Omoluabi16:
wait. For example, we know that Igbo bride price could be high running into millions. Are you saying if she is Igbo she should return every dime, when she is probably not in a good place financially?
@ badgers14
Igbo bride price is not that high.. what could be high there is other things requested in the list like 20 tubers of yam.. 10 carton of this and that ..

But the actual bride price is usually not that high. And typically what the girls family normally do is, if the bride price was say 20k, the father of the bride will take 2k and give the rest back to the inlaws and tell them , his daughter is not for sale.. let them take care of his daughter etc...

(At least thats what my father did and I have been at other places in igbo land where the same was done as well).

Mindlog:
In Igbo culture, the widow and her family do not return any bride price upon the death of the husband as the marriage ended with the death of the husband, not divorce.
That's incorrect.

Respectfully speaking, may be in your hometown that's how it is done.

But I have seen a scenario in igbo land were after the mourning period they ask the widow if she wants to stay with the husband family or move on and go back to her parents house.

Then if she chose to move on and move back to her parents house. Bride price is returned (at a later date).

Generally, one cannot pay a bride price twice on top of one lady. The old bride price have to be returned before they can pay the new bride price.

Cheers!

Hmmm... This is weird, I think you should discuss with her, she should open up, perhaps she's hiding something.
@Op, listen to this post here.

I will also add, her family should return her bride price if she wants to move on with her life.

Although I don't know if I agree with this next line buy returning the bride price, the late husband's family could collect everything that their brother bought for her.. if she is living in the late brothers house, they could kick her out , some might even go to the extent of collecting the kids from her (if they have a kid together).

But yet still, the first thing first. Have a candid conversation with her and you both can figure a way forward.

Cheers!!

The South African burnt bricks are sold for between N8500 to N9,000 depending on where you buy. I heard it added some money last week. It was being sold for N8,000 as at last week. I will buy the ones I need today.
Can the south African bricks be used to decor inside of the house like the wall in the parlor where they place the TV and also the balcony.

Or are they only for exterior decor?

Romance › Re: My Mum Is Strongly Rejecting The Girl I Want To Marry by Badgers14: 12:44pm On Aug 21, 2023
Blaze14k:
I would like to use this opportunity to seek guidance based on the issue I have on ground. I believe it's igbos especially elderly person who is in a better position to give me a reasonable explanation. I told my mum my girlfriend is from ohafia, abia state and she instantly told me I can't get married to her. Her reason is because people from ohafia, arochukwu, izombe, and few other places in abia state are regarded as OSU. I complained to other members of my family but they also rejected her.

I have made some research personally and found out people from other part of igboland marry from those places. Now my question is why are they strongly rejecting her cos it doesn't make sense to call everybody from different local government in abia state OSU.

I've made more research on the girls family and found out they are king makers and her father belongs to eze's cabinet.

Her father and mine are no longer alive. They both have a traditional title and belong to eze's cabinet too. Please I need your advice cos I really want marry this girl. I also know that people encounter alot of difficulties when they want to get married. So I need a clarification from someone who has extensive knowledge on igbo tradition. Thank you
Did you or your elders did a research about this girls background to determine if she is osu or did your people assume she is one based on her LGA??
