The metropolis of God's Own State, Umuahia is a place to be. For people who haven't been to Umuahia before, you are about to learn about ten things to note before coming down to Umuahia South LGA of Umuahia.


1. Umuahia South is dominated by Olokoro people.
Olokoro on its own is made up of about fifteen clans...Amakama, Umudere, Umuajata, Amizi, Amuzu, Umuobia, Old Umuahia, Umuoparaozara, Itu..among others.

On a normal day, the villagers are nice and quite accommodating especially when you are “minding your business.” Read again.

2. They do a masquerade thingy.
It wasn't up to three weeks I came, a female neighbour urged me to accompany her to “go watch obo with her.” We reached the market square and was introduced by fierce-looking masquerades ready to flog you for no reason if you don't run! I was also told you have to enter into a stall, or under anything like a shop, or else, you'd be flogged to shreds. I noticed it's a group thingy. If you belong to the group of religious set of people organizing the masquerade dance, you wouldn't be flog. These sets are called the ezumezu. Most time, these culture is performed to mourn a member of theirs who gave up the ghost.

3. Kings are buried with heads.
Now this is a traditional thing. When a king dies here, the fraction of elders that make up the cabinet will embark on human-head hunting. This tradition is relevant to them in order to send the monarch to his ancestors. Bros, if you dey come there for the first time, avoid night-outs. The best way to live is living alone.

4. Their men.
I was glad I met real nice people who were also industrious. However, there's always a difference between the rich class and the peasants. To a degree, there is a caste system noticeable there. The rich become richer and the poor poorer. A friend from Amakama there often told me that there's a high level of immorality there. We can't tell the degree because it's everywhere, right?

5. Education
Talking with a friend from Amizi, a village in Olokoro, he explained that after a child is done with his secondary school education, that is the end of parental care (if you are from a poor family). That child is left to fend for himself, many reasons most girls take to prostitution to eke out a living. Those who reach the graduate level are those whose parents are learned, or the average class.

6. Their girls.
I wouldn't want to be baised, nevertheless, in as much as I appreciate the fact that's a handful of them can be found in tertiary institutions or sister universities, another handful of them have taken to either becoming housewives, hawkers, prostitutes, or just staying at home.


7. The fun.
I personally enjoy staying here during the end of the year. The fifteen villages often contribute with huge sum of money to host football leagues. The experience is magical with the myriad of fans around.

8. Business.
If you're coming here to set up a provision store or a business that will fetch you good money, be sure you are doing it in the city part of the state; that's from the places Isi Court to Gate. When you reach Gate, you'd see a Tecno company, Slot, and many others.

What hunger cannot do doesn't exist.

I'm yet to see a VC that's not corrupt.

Na wa o. Aren't these people's sweat?

Ok

6inch.

This is uncalled for.

Nice move.

Ha

Following intently...

Na only poor people dem they overtax ?

The dead is conscious of nothing at all. Don't be demonized.

Yet, I don't know sb who knows sb who knows sb who has heard about sb who was paid.

You call it eternal damnation, but later you say it's hell fire.


Many contradictions.

I don't do exes. If we dated and we are no longer dating, I am not your ex, neither are you mine. Just go your way..I want no word relationship.

Observing intently...

Hmm

Beauty fades.

Makeup finishes.


Filters depreciate.


Live for life.

Way up sis. ✌️

Hello.


I just want to say I am tired of Nigeria.


Bye.

It's not funny. Cars turned boats.

poshestmina:
Yeah.
She had a Cesarean section and drank fruit juice when no one was close to her ( said she was very thirsty and nurses were not around her) ,coupled with very high bp .
Baby was in an Incubator . She got swollen and couldn't make it. So she said if the child survived,they should name her' Forgive'.

This man was one of the richest man according to stories ,was supplying Dried fish and foodstuffs from Maiduguri to the whole East . Baba became a pauper before he died few years after the wife.

Thankfully most of the kids are doing well . Forgive and the kid from the other woman are inseparable now and schooling somewhere in Europe.

Such a happy ending...

LadeeE:
Maybe he is using someone's certificate.

Do people do this?

^{My cousin was named 'Forgive' at birth ,had to change her name because she kept reminding everyone of her mum's death (mum had premature delivery after hearing the husband was getting married to another woman,so she asked them to name the child ' Forgive' and passed away)}

This is big deep, poshestmina.

The5DME:
I'd like to change my surname to Rothschild.

I just hope this has nothing to do with your teeth.

Divoc19:
Am currently having serious issues with my names too. As a graphic designer those days (I played around with IDs and try them out at banks) I opened different bank accounts with different names. Then BVN came, with little knowledge and pressure by banks I registered one of my names I didn't like again.

2. My nin, international passport, marriage certificate, drivers license all have different names.
In short I taya for my name matter

Nigeria should just issue something like social security number to help we name changers

You mah wey go dey use many names for different agencies, you didn't know they'd be repercussions?
