Daily post and lies. No picture. Tenant killed his land lord at Nkpor and it didn't go viral.. NKPOR is a developed city near Onitsha not some village

Should have found a way to deport her if possible

AlexBells:
I didn't expect anything more than a 4 word reply, you lack substance and constructive arguments,

you lack sense and ability to process articulate thought

I think it'll be more cost efficient for everyone to switch to internet calls.

They are less expensive and for the most part more stable than regular phone calls.

Internet calls of 30 minutes cost less than N50 while video calls of the same length cost less than N100.

Regular phone calls cost twice as much. For N100 you might not think much about it but instead of spending N1k you are spending N2k and instead of N10k recharge, you are spending N20k on the average.

Internet calls not only is cheaper but will solve the problem of double recharge. Nowadays we spend more to buy data. After that, we still recharge for regular airtime to use for phone calls.

Internet calls cuts that cost by almost 90%.

I think it's better if we can adopt this as a trend and use regular phone calls for emergencies.

Internet call is not cheap if the receiving person still have to pay...

AlexBells:
Please who are "we", you are only arguing for yourself, stop trying to whoop up emotions, we are talking about phobia, and not some construction lesson, Igboid gave a valid reason which had apparent understanding, he mentioned mosquitoes infestation but you telling me civil Engineering stuff when asked why our ancestors moved away from the atlantic especially and every other large water bodies is a show of mischief,

When Ibom ancestors settled near the oceans, they used civil Engineering?,

you re so dumb

Ekealterego:
It seems you are the only one with a different opinion and the only person opening useless threads devoid of commonsense.

100s of people have corrected you but you seem to be struggling from external influences one cannot be even explain.

Both Igbos and non-Igbos have corrected you, but you didn't even choose to learn from one.

What is the colour of your problem?

How will his agenda fly if he accept he is wrong..
The guy is so unintelligent his argument is devoid of sense

paramakina202:
This is urban development.The natives are far from the shore line.

are the people who live there not Igbos?


Shift d goal post again please

Bkayyy:
LOL.
You are very funny.

Ijaw land has always been part of Eastern region before the war so where did the training happen when the war was a sudden event?
You didn't ask yourself that did you?

I don't know what this people smoke before coming online...

AlexBells:
Keep giving me all that scientific and civil engineering crap why people shouldn't live near waters, did your great grand father know about Bio diversify and all the advanced stuff you are saying, whatever the soil feature is, there is solution to it if people are really determined to live there, so however you put it, the situation up there is glaring that we would first give 1000 reason why we shouldn't live near waters than give one reason why we should and that looks like what mass phobia would do

imagine the person we are arguing wit

Ekealterego:
This Is Ehugbo/Afikpo town and a big town for that matter and there is a massive beach developed there.

Secondly, What other city in Nigeria do you have highrise close to the water except for Lagos? Again, in terms of building development, there is a massive difference between building development by sea salt water ocean bordered water bodies and fresh water rivers.

The land is usually marshy and do not make for a great sites for building and it costs a lot because you will need more money for foundations and the houses will generally not last as long. Except if you use wood for the construction.

Secondly there is problem of road construction etc.

From an environmental POV, those marshes near rivers are great source of biodiversity. it is generally good to be left alone.
Note, I don't mean smaller streams or smaller rivers.

Again, I don't think you know how this works... People, allover the worl

The guy you are quoting is either too daft to understand all you said or he is trolling..

Ogbuefi2020:
I didn't say that igbos didn't farm but farming was not the main occupation since forested areas with poor soil and dense population is unsuitable for farming. The main farming tribes in Nigeria live in the sparsely populated Savannah region. Igala, tiv, jukun, gwari etc

You are confused.. How can poor soil make forest? The forest means the soil is proper for agriculture

I will not engage two airheads in a post

Bkayyy:
You are a true son of the soil. Confirm Nwa Afọ, not those impostors that claim Anambra on Nairaland to be fooling themselves.
The name is Ose Ụmụagụ (one village in Oba because other villages have theirs) and the back of metallurgical where they do the actual tapping is called Ọgbọ mmanụ.
One can't say he knows Anambra very well without knowing where the best palm wine tappers live. Unlike other Igbo towns, palm wine tapping is the main occupation of Ndị Oba in the past. That is what they are known for.

It is their cultural heritage and I believe it will still be there like it was in the past.
I can never forget my experience watching those diochi return in their canoe with pots of wine ready for selling. People from far and wide always wait for them at the shores.

Na im this dude dey tell me say Ndigbo dey fear water.
Ndi ara, Ndi ara

I go there from Nnewi... It was a Sunday morning ritual for me... Because I avoid beer. And spirits

A hilarious note left by a yet to be identified student to her roommate, Amaka has gone viral online.

Focus Naija can report that the student kept the note inside an empty pot for her roommate who is fond of eating her food.

According to her, all Amaka does when she returns from class is to open her pot to check if she cooked without contributing anything.

She ordered her to immediately close the pot which she left empty.

What do you think about the act? If you are Amaka, how will you feel?

Amaka at d bunk. Before going home

Ogbuefi2020:
Igbos hated water since ancient times. Igala and Nupe controlled river niger deep into igboland. Onitsha was an igala fishing camp, obosi and others who owned the place live far from the shore. Igalas transported onitsha and oguta from Illah. if you check the map you will see that asaba is some distance away from the niger. If you live near water in igboland you will earn a derogatory name "mbammiri". Apart from water with it's magroves, we also hate the Savannah vegetation. The natural habitat of the igbos is the Rain Forest which is where palm tree flourish. Our main occupation is gathering and processing Forest products, we were not into fishing or cultivation of arable lands

Chaii another low budget historian. With empty head induced history.... Your ancestors didn't farm the land mine did... Up till now. My father and every member of my community in Nnewi who own land still farm.. They pay laborers to farm nowadays.. Unlike wen I was growing up wen I dreaded rainy season because of constant farming... I had to run to boarding school...


Innoson... Gabros.. Emenike the owner of tummy tummy noodles still farm.. I don't want to mention commercial farmers like coscharis..

Bkayyy:
Palm wine is tapped in the riverine part of the community after which the diochi brings it out to the land on a canoe to the buyers.

They don't buy fresh palm wine (nkwụ enu) from the diochi on land but on canoe.
This is a basic Igbo stuff any Igbo man knows.

I believe SlayerForever and Co knows that

Ose is littered from behind metallurgical institute onitsha.. Along the onitsha owerri Road.. Town's like oba akwuukwu, oraifite, ozubulu okija all have ose along this route.. Anytime I travel to Nnewi, I usually go to Ose oba.. I have forgotten the name of the Ose its behind one filling station after rojenny whr all those trucks park along the road.. That is where they sell undiluted ngwo.... After oba junction before idemili there is another Ose.. The entrance is at That spot where road safety stand... They sell nkwu enu. In this particular Ose..

AlexBells:
Why are you worried about flood if you are not scared, if there is flood you swim na, those living in lekki nko, you are already giving yourself reason to avoid water, see question "what happens when there is flood?" Sounds like what someone who has water phobia would say, so when you build houses near the road, did you ask yourself what happens when there is accidents

I just hope you read the things you type or have someone show you an intelligent or half intelligent fellow to read all you have been typing and explain to you that the more you type the more you ridiculous you appear...

You have such a messed up thought process and logic. You should not be thinking at all.. I

How could any sane human have u making decisions and expect any outcome...

AlexBells:
I don't understand, did they do it to be applauded or it was a mere coincidence, I'm talking about phobia not what is right or wrong, I wonder why same applause is not seen when it gets to building houses near roads and Igboland starts and end in Nnewi

what has my been from Nnewi got to do with anything.. I keep mentioning ur unintelligence...


You want River edges to be built up. What happens when there is flood?

What about using for recreation.. Farming... Nnaa we. To even think u had a faint thought of having a political office.. You would have been worse than the current apc led FG

AlexBells:
Majority of those people you mentioned does not live in rural communities, in fact 50% of Igbos does not live in Igboland, the remaining 50, 35% live in urban areas example, Enugu, Nsukka, Onitsha, Awka, Aba, Owerri, etc, those remaining 15% that lives in rural communities, mind you about 60% of the communities in Igboland does not even have waters safe for swimming by inexperienced swimmers,

So going by your calculation you are even saying less than 15% of Igbo population would have the privilege to become efficient swimmers, few rural communities can not be used as a measure for a people whose 50% of its population does not live in Igboland abd remaining 35% of the 50% that lives in Igboland lives in urban areas where trade and not farming or fishing is the priority, taking more people off the water zone.

This guy keep pulling out stats from his asssss..

You are beginning to sound like a clown

Ike gi agwugom....

AlexBells:
Either you don't understand the content or you see everything from the purview of some sort, I said Aquaphobia, it does not mean that we don't travel by water, but that majority are scared of waters and I had given you instances among my random friends who had made their phobia clear and at least 2 people responding to this post had attested to that,

Science doesn't take note of what we feel it is what it is, I expected you to challenge me to a swim in the River Niger since you are from Anambra and I can be available to witness it if the conditions are appropriate for me not some sailing statistics and routes.

A good numbers of Igbos are scared of large body of water, anything bigger than a river, and if you read also very well I made mention of a friend of mine who is in the navy, ofcourse he is Igbo just like everyone but he had overcome his phobia, I have other people who are sailors, I'm talking about a people being water friendly, that's not a typical Igboman

Your post holds no waters..
This is one of the most unintelligent post I ve ever read..
Communities who live by the water naturally all know how to swim...
Go to Anambra North and cure ur ignorance..

You can't expect someone who live in place like Enugu who don't have contact with pool or river to be bothered about swimming...

Its not aquaphobia. Its what it is. Fact..
The persons you asked do not know how to swim.. How do you ask someone who does not know how to swim and expect a positive reply.. Why did you not ask friends who could swim.. Maybe you did and they obliged, but you can't write it here because it will automatically defeat your ridiculous narrative...


Me I'm even thinking you fabricated all this just for likes and to sound woke...


I hope say no be Alex reporters be this because if so I hope u quash what ever thought u have of joining politics because with this thought process you won't have anything to offer..

AlexBells:
As I venture deeper into unconventional politics, I had taken looks into maritime potentials but I had figured out that a greater majority of Igbos have Aquaphobia (Fear of Water).

I had always loved the waters which had always pushed me towards the waters, in fact in my country side home, since childhood when I used to enjoy the view from a hill near my house, I wished the hill had a spring of running water.

But sometimes in my early teens I almost drown one time, when I swam in a relatively deep pool, ever since then, I had taken off swimming, but lately, especially as we get on some minor verbal engagements with the Ijaws on nairaland and they keep calling Igbos and myself in particular stone, I had vowed to get efficient in swimming and get to where I need to.

I contacted a swimming coach in Enugu but a while ago, I was in Nsukka for a brief stay in the UNN, then I contacted one of my navy buddy to come put me through but two of my other friends would say they can't hit the pool, I called a girl friend of mine and she said she's not doing any swimming, it happened that my friends have fear of almost any body of water, okay to cut the long story short, we drank all night instead of swimming.

Meanwhile I noticed that other nationalities doesn't have this fear when we have way more water in AlaIgbo than most other nationalities, most of my Igala friends can swim including their women.

Now look at coastal towns like Onitsha, you would figure out that Igbos tend to live meters away from any body of water, denying Igbo cities that Mega coastal city feels, my question is, what could be the reason for mass Aquaphobia within a nationality.

This guy back to back dish out unintelligent ridiculous write up...


Living meters away from the water should be applauded...

God forbid such thought process

Who are the people who fill up all the pools scattered across Igbo land.. Even in Nnewi my home town lots of houses have pool...
The streams and rivers scattered across Nnewi are always filled up weekends..

No dey write rubbish abeg. Keep doing copy and paste u don't have it..

Our oil people in the mud....

They want Niger delta in biafra because of oil. In the mud...
What does Igbo land contribute to Nigeria in poto poto


Children of hate from a certain region will be so angry..

dominique:
How many Yoruba women have you met to reach this ridiculous conclusion? Is Nedu's ex wife a Yoruba woman? How about the two Chidinmas that killed two married men within the space of one week? The admin of one popular Igbo Facebook group ila otu once suggested that men should get DNA tests done for their kids, numerous married women flocked to his dm to insult and issue him death threats. The group was eventually taken down. There are promiscuous women everywhere even in the conservative north, why must you stereotype one region with such?

And what is all this brouhaha about Yoruba men marrying Igbo men as an achievement? Nobody sees it as a big deal here the way you people carry it on your head. For every 1000 Yoruba men that gets married to Yoruba women, 1 gets married to an Igbo woman and you people start jubilating as if you won a national lottery. People marry from different parts of the country all the time, stop making it look as if your women are the most sought after. They're not as special as you think. Ask Chioma and Precious Chikwendu

Btw, Seyi Tinubu's wife is not is not Igbo. They only decided to name their son after all the major 3 ethnic groups to l. By all means celebrate your own but you don't have to bring others down to do so.

In as much as the thing dey pain u reach marrow.. Seyi tinubu's wife is CHINWE...




The chosen son of your god and personal lord is married to Igbo lady CHINWEOKWU...


Even he can't stay away from d superior Igbo race...

The Coldest Region In Whole Nigeria: My NYSC experience

Interesting read. This thread was motivated by a previous thread that bears similar name


If you like wear 20 cloths you will still catch cold.

Part One (see part two in the next comment section)

My National Youth Service NYSC Experience in Mbamnga, Taraba state (October '15 to March '16)

Brief Description of place:
Mbamnga is a remote community located directly on Mambilla plateau, Sardauna Local Goverment of Taraba state. Tribes in mbamnga include majorly the mambillas and Fulanis with preponderance of the Mambilla people. Other tribe include Kaka, panso and Kanbu.
Two distiguished feature of mambilla plateau is the hilly landscape and the temperate weather which makes it the coolest area in nigeria.

Facts:
1. Mambilla plateau has an Altitude 2419 meters, 7936ft above sea level (height of about a 900 story building in Lagos) making it the highest peak in Nigeria.

2. Weather is temperate, with highest Temperature of 25 degree celsius (77 degree F) during a sunny day. The coolest part in Nigeria. You sweat less.

3. Major languages include Mambilla, fulfude, kaka and Hausa.

4. Have you heard of mambilla beans? That strong beans that takes days to cook, It is from there.

Advantages:
1. Temperature: weather in mbamnga is always cool, sunshine is moderate, fill with chilling air.

2. You save money: in mbamnga, their is no bank and market is after 10 days intervals. As a corps member you save money with a budget plan because of the difficulty involved in accessing your banked cash.

3. Abundant of fruit: fruits expecially african pear and banana are in abundance in mbamnga.

4. Good quality bread: If you want a very quality bread mbamnga is the place you can get it.

5. Cheap meat: meat is in abundance here, with little cash you can buy meat quantity that doubles what you can get in Ibadan

6. Communication: Due to language diversity and need to communicate with other tribes, children at tender age learn, understand and can communicate in English. Their is no language barrier in reaching out to people.

7. People in mbamnga are accomodating and friendly, they love to entertain visitors with corps members inclusive (although bad eggs can't be found wanting in every society). They are peace loving and are alway ready to help.

8. Cross-country? Yes, Mbamnga community is located where nigeria borders with Cameroon, to enter cameroon boundary take less than 40 minutes on byke.

9. Mbamnga is mosquito and tse-tse fly free, so their is little or no recorded case of malaria of night blindness.

Challenges:
1. Distance: mbamnga is far away from town, one and half hour from Gembu the local goverment secretariat, 10 hours journey from Jalingo the state Capital and 34 Hours from Ibadan.

2. Water supply: been on the hill, only source of water is government supply which is not evenly distributed. Many people even corper use spring water channeled into gutters to for bath and cooking.

3. Market: their is no proper market in mbamnga, the only farm product market is 10 days intervals where some farm product are even wanting

4. Transportation: due to lack of road network and presence of an unbridged river, major means of transport is through motorcycle which need to be carried in canoe while crossing the river. Also some manbilla vehicles are carried using big canoe carrier.

5. Harsh weather: air can tend to freezing cold at night and disturb sleep at times. Water needs to be heated before use in the morning.

6. Security: although the people are cool, don't engage in violent act, no theft, but for politics and tribalistic herders/farmers clash. A Police station present is poorly equiped with only two officers and zero ammunition.

7. Network coverage: Their is no coverage in mbamnga. To make or recieve call, one will need to travel far and climb montains and at time you cannot use local network but roam with cameroon network which charge double.

8. Bad road: paths created up and down hill serves as road. It's tressfull to travel hours on such roads. No tiled road and those graded are erosioned. Most kids, even some adult have never aeen tiled road.

9. Electric Power supply is a no no. some of their children never know government provides elctricity. People in mbamnga uses individual power generators and get their premium motor spirit from black market alone. No filling station.

Opportunities:
1. waterfalls for power generation
2. Cool weather favours some type of crop not grown in nigeria
3. abundant of raw materials for animal products e.g skin, hoof...
4. Good soil for agriculture e.g tea and coffee cultivation
5. Nearby game reserve (Gashaka game reserve)
6. Mbamnga is an international boundry
7. Population favour labour availability
8. Limestone
9. Abundance of Timbers

Personal Opinion:
The other day in Lokoja, while I was watching a NTA broadcast, my mind told me where they were showing was mbamnga and voila, it was. They were talking on possible investment due to the cool weather condition (Tea and coffee cultivation). I love the people in mbamnga, I will like to go back to mbamnga to do some business there.

No insects in the village.. The problem is access,, mostly by bikes and ferries...
