Madam Bliss,What's with Tinubu being a godfather of Ngige? Edo state in an APC state too. How many times have you heard of Tinubu being mentioned in that state? Ngige should be given opportunity to rule Anambra again. He is the man to bring Anambra back to life.

Vote for Ngige, vote for change!

Clerverly: Are you for real? I mean are you a chameleon? You keep swinging front and back like a confused brat. In one breadth, you call obi unprintable names, in another vein you are eulogizing the same Man. Paraniod?? Go see your doctor before it develops further. Smh for your would be husband!

fitnesswis: You have a point but where you lack evidence is if ngige has done anything for his village. dont you hear of ALOR London? 80%roads in his village are tarred.water is running and free there.the towns near his own town also benefited. [/b]his administration tried so much in health sector roads and education. [b]We should try other persons to me but if he wins he should cos he has been tested and trusted only that [size=18pt]I do not like his Party APC.[/size]

Clerverly: As much as Anambra State remains underdeveloped

PointB: How many ID cards do one need to own to live in Nigeria?

There is the Passport, the drivers' license, National ID Card, Company ID cards, and now this?

Seriously, I think this duplications of ID card is pure waste of time and resources.

Personally, I think the (International) Passport and Driver's License should suffice in nearly all the cases. This Lagos State ID Card is either a pure waste of tax-payers money or designed for far more ulterior motive (666 on mind, Illuminati things lol). The National Population Census suffices for enumeration sake.

I will stick to my International Passport as I see no reason for another round of time wasting session in the name of ID cards. I know this will soon be challenged in the court.

By that Fashola's head make for interesting caricature. Reminds me of hammer head (of horror.)

Please I need an answer ASAP. My cousin is getting married soon, and this has been bothering her seriously. She happens to be Igbo, but with a mother from Kwara state(yoruba).

The children are very close to their mother who despite being married to an Igbo man, despises the Igbos(especially Umu village). Unfortunately, they(my cousins) were all born and brought up in the North, and they understand yoruba only, depise Igbos too, and have never being to the village.

Now my cousin is getting married(to a yoruba man) and wants her wedding(white and traditional) here in Abuja, but the dad insists that they must do the traditional marriage in the village or no traditional marriage at all.

I've asked friends around and they said it depends on the village, tradition and her position in the family(1st or 2nd daughter), and luckily for her, she happens to be the second[b](the 1st daughter who married a yoruba man too, also had same issue, but only did an introduction in form of Traditional marriage and a court marriage here in Abuja)[/b].

Although I'm an Ada, grew up in Abuja, but have no problem doing mine in the village if that be the case(maybe because I schooled in the East).


But Please I would like to know, is it COMPULSORY for an Igbo lady to do her traditional marriage in the village?

Like I said earlier, the Igbos that do this otherwise were either ostracised by their umunna, or they are osu, etc.

Infact, its even humiliating for a man to stand alone without being backed by his umunna in any traditional thing he does. So any father who can stand this humiliation indeed has something to hide, period.

dmcdad: My dear why start from the middle of something? Stop being naive please... And what is the pointless statement on "you can't love anybody blah blah blah" I just stated what I discovered to drive my point home. Who says I wanna be against you guys? All my friends from childhood to adulthood have been Ibos. You know why? Cause I like the people. You should know I don't have anything against your people so give me a break! Gosh!

Besides, I even stated it in my earlier post that I would love to marry an ibo girl...Does it still seem like I have something against you guys Smh... Na wa for some people oooooo

God bless you jare... Leave people bringing up redundant posts as regards inter-tribal marriages. If you don't like it, good and fine. Everyone is entitled to do whatever he/she deems fit.

Does tribal marriage guarantee happiness all through the marital period? Nope! Infact, most igbos around me happens to be married to peeps from their tribe, and you wanna know how the marriages of most of em are going? I don't wanna say...

The thing is; marry someone you love and you will wanna spend the rest of your life with come what may. Sometimes I begin to ruminate if this is God's plan for us Nigerians. Do you actually think God would not want us to cross-breed? Why all the discrimination? And did I hear someone say that Nigeria can ever be united? That ain't gonna happen in the slightest margin. You know why? Everyone tends to think they are the best and wanna segregate themselves from the rest. And we say we want peace and unity in Nigeria. I am sorry that is just a mere phantasmagoria or rather just a castle some people are trying to build in the air because if we cannot start from the root then how do we think it can work up there?

Tell me; if you have your parents from different ethnicity and maybe trouble is looming between such ethnic groups(let's say your parents are from Igbo and yoruba lands) would you rather stand on the side of your mom or on the side of your dad (let's say you have to choose one) or would you rather not stand on both sides and face whatever that comes. As awkward as that illustration might seem, it tells you that inter-tribal marriage places us in good stead in making sure we are unified.

That is not to condemn tribal marriages in any way. But please, if you have a different view as regards inter - tribal marriage, it's okay but stop condemning it in any way. I was very surprised when a parishioner from my church was speaking my language whom I thought was from my place and I happened to know that he is Ibo but his wife is from my place. At that time I tripped cause he was speaking it with his wife and other times they code-switch to speaking igbo language. Just imagine what that means to the growth and the love within the family... Infact, is it just me or what, but most families that I know who share different tribes happens to live happily. I am not talking about outside happiness and sadness inside, I am talking about happiness in and out.

Well, I never expected to write something as long as this cause I am not even in the mood these days, but I hate it when someone tries to coin something from some baseless and redundant points. It's just...
