Health / Re: Problem With Early Mouth Odour by banku: 3:35pm On Nov 28, 2023
Someone said it all. When your mouth is closed for a long time without talking, even after brushing in the morning, your mouth smells.

The way to reduce the natural smell when air and saliva are not flowing, is to brush and floss after every meal or brush before going to bed.

Yes, chewing bitter cola or mint, reduce the natural smell. If you over do it, you may reduce the floral balance in the mouth and develop another problem like thrush.

God told Abraham that I will give you Palestine (land of Canaan). A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY.

According to op mental illness,he will interpret the above statement to mean there is river of milk and honey flowing on the streets of cannan.

Politics / Re: Photo: Meet Association Of Igbo Yoruba Wives Of Nigeria by banku: 7:40pm On Nov 22, 2023
I am surprised that most people do not know that a Yoruba man is not married until he married a Yoruba woman.

Most of those that married other ethnic groups either have Yoruba wives or eventually get one.

As for Igbo women, who nor like better tin.
Politics / Re: Tinubu: I Deserve To Be In Guinness World Records by banku: 5:54pm On Nov 22, 2023
Why does everyone abuse the sensibility of Lagosians like this?

Tinubu who came to Lagos like one of those developers claims he took Lagos from zero to where it is today.

This is a guy that prostrated for Pa Ganiyu Dawodu, Adeniran Ogunsanya and anyone in sight to displace Funso Williams as Gubernatorial candidate after he lost because Funso was not a member of NADECO.

Pa Dawodu's regret sent him to the grave.

Lagos has become the punching bag for every Tunde, Emeka and Shehu. It is the turn of Amoda Ogunlere from Iragbiji.

Politics / Re: Gov. Otti Commences Payment Of Judiciary Workers' 8-Year Salary Arrears by banku: 2:19pm On Nov 17, 2023
You took it out of my mouth.

While we thank those who reversed injustices, how can a state or country justify outrageous salary for politicians and starve the working class of meager pay?

Ameachi, no matter what you think about him said it before "we steal because you did not stone us".

And repeated it that instead of Nigerians to fight their oppressors, when back to the wall, they commit suicide. This is when other animals, even the lowest ones fight back, not Nigerians!


Ashirioluwa:
8-year salary arrears! Something is wrong with our government. How do you expect these folks to feed themselves and their families?

This is one of the reasons bribery and corruption cannot be eradicated in Nigeria.

There are rules, even in a war. Otherwise, be prepared for the destruction of one another.

PLO was their worst enemies even after recognizing Israel and two states. Then Hezbollah, Lebanon. One day go be one day. Humans with killer instinct would justify anything like Hitler.

Was Bin Laden children shot when he used them as a shield?

Because they dug tunnels from the hospital with the plan to annihilate Israel. They also plan to use the hospital as a shield to attract undue Western sympathy.

Why do you guys always exaggerate the position of community head of Fulani in Enugu to modern day mayor?

Do you include the fact that you burned his house and his whole family had to flee to the North?

Each time Nigerians challenge Igbo why they would not tolerate any other Nigerians at home, they come up with Alstine in the 19th century.

These clanish people will not even tolerate fellow Igbo from neighboring villages around them.

As of that time umaru altine, a Fulani from sokoto, was then elected to be mayor of enugu

Your thief, drug peddler, money and drug mules are better than theirs.

Mention one of your rulers that are not worse.

It is only in Nigeria that Biafrans as rebels that fought a war, invaded Midwest, old Rivers and West would come back and allowed to form Nigerian Government.

Now deny it, deny their coup, deny killing leaders of other ethnic groups but not theirs, deny being Head of Nigerian Army, deny being Gov. of CBN, deny being Finance Minister, deny being Chairman of Constitutional Committees in the Senate and House - deny Unitary Government under Ironsi that destroyed Regional Power forever -deny deny.

This stats which I take at face value demonstrates that the Southern part of Nigeria led by the East is showing remarkable progress in Western Education.

We cannot ignore the fact that many parts of the North are proficient in Islamic education and were literate well before most of the South.

Whatever the case, our Eastern brothers are demonstratively leading in Western education. I hope it translates into progressive agenda as it did in the old Western Region.

Romance / Re: Desirable Men Want First Choice Wise Ladies Settle For Best Man by banku: 4:39pm On Nov 05, 2023
However, if the lady a man desires decides to move on to the next best man, it is because she has no time to waste. Ladies have a limited time to court, secure a home and reproduce. Ladies may prefer men that insist on getting their interest, a sign that he is serious and she is not easy to get. But a risk since they cannot wait too long.

Nevertheless, there are disappointments on both sides. These days young couples "shack up" on a trier basis before finally getting married. The longer it takes, the more worried is the lady who might be afraid she would miss out on marriage after investing her time with a loser. The young man may see it differently as a testing period to try out the equal or unequal responsibility of family life.

Great, if living together before marriage works out. But a break-up may have an unfavorable outcome on the lady especially when families and friends had warned her. If either of them could move back home, fine. Even that has consequences. Adult children do not want to adhere to old rules, of course. Some of those with wealthy parents have gone a step further bringing partners back home to live, under the excuse that they are trying to save in order to buy their own house in a difficult economy.
Romance / Desirable Men Want First Choice Wise Ladies Settle For Best Man by banku: 10:31pm On Nov 04, 2023
DESIRABLE MEN WANT FIRST CHOICE WISE LADIES SETTLE FOR BEST MAN

If we think about the time, emotional and cultural investment we put into relationships, it is not surprising that marriage lasts longer in Africa than in Europe or America. We just don't check in at the Registry. There are introductions, engagement, traditional Nikah or white weddings. No matter how we get into relationships, African and Asian cultures still support and encourage longer partnerships than European and American relationships.

You do not go through all these to file for divorce the following day! The difference between when a man wants to settle down to when a lady wants, generally shows a gap of 5 years. Usually between their 20s and 30s, only men are willing to get into their 30s before settling down. Yet, young lovers get married when both of them are in their 20s. College and careers are responsible for settling down with a partner at an older age.

No matter what, most ladies cannot waste their biological time waiting until they get the most desirable man or nothing. When a man sees a lady she likes, he stares longer than a woman who can satisfy her curiosity with a glance. If she is not satisfied, she can take another look without being noticed. But the bold one would challenge a man into staring. Be careful now, a woman staring at you maybe for other reasons.

Fashion / Re: African Countries With The Highest Divorce Rate by banku: 2:56pm On Nov 04, 2023
My brother, I was thinking about the same thing. Though it is true that Africans go through many ceremonies before they hand their daughters over, Igbo go through other investment in their families before marriage.

For Yoruba and Igbo, families from both sides are more involved, making easy divorce difficult. So you are on point here.

What surprised me is divorce rate among those Berber and Arab countries because of their Muslim and Shariah laws. But then our Northern brothers, Fulani are not, carry foreign religions for head than their conquerors. I guess you can say the same about Southern Christians.


Thundafireseun:


Ode how do I imply that I’m tribalistic ??

I shouldn’t make my point again because you feel you are the only Igbo person on Nairaland

For your information I’m also Igbo and my point is Igbo still has the least Divorce rate in Nigeria

Try and compare to Hausa’s Divorce rate

I think Soludo calculated idea as CBN Governor was worth revising now to stop the continuous bleeding exchange of Naira.

Obviously, more than half of what we want dollars and euros for are useless. So they continue to recruit our tastes from "good education" for our children that turned them against us and our cultures, to imported junks

Those who bought tractors for one thousand naira day before yesterday paid one million naira yesterday!

This provoked Tanzania President Nyerere to ask President Reagan, how much we should pay today

Ah ah ah, this Africans was one smart son of a gun, they must have mused: Just Devalue Their currencies by fiat through IMF!

Politics / 400 Orisha Before Oduduwa And Awolowo by banku: 9:09pm On Oct 29, 2023
Though many books and researchers have been writing about Obatala, Oduduwa to the modern time Awolowo, many students in world universities are still researching other African cultures for relevance.

Particularly, Yoruba culture when North and South American, European and other Africans are tracing the source of their culture.

Therefore, different groups in Africa believe foreigners must look to them as their origin. (After their chiefs sold their brothers out) It brings tourists dollars and achievements trading or exchange. As well as blames.

However, many missed their point by over focusing on Oduduwa. Oduduwa was only one of the many Orisha Yoruba trace to their history.

Many Yoruba do not know Obatala, Oduduwa or Awolowo from Adam. But they are still known as Omo Awolowo, Omo Oduduwa or Omo Obatala. If others claim Oduduwa, what about the other 400 Orisha, gods and deities?
