Is Obi Okeke’s village/town, LGA and state as developed as those of Arnold Schwarzenegger?
What has Obi done to improve education, health etc in his place the way Arnold and other rich Americans do?
Should sensible Nigerians celebrate such a person who has done little or nothing to improve his shittyhole country

You must be Yoruba Segun....But that's the way you reason expecting people to do something for u. Okeke is an Anambra name....And i don't think any village in Yoruba land is better than any one in anambra are

Igbo and business....Where are the accommodators and hosters

SeamT:


I'm from urhobo and my people I.e from my village also call it omugwo..
I can't say for other clans

Una don copy again...Well it's normal for minority to look up and copy from a bigger tribe

Omugwo is an Igbo word and had an Igbo meaning drives to birth

fero007:
what better research do I need than to live among the people? I know Delta from issele-uku to burutu, Rivers from elele to bonny, I've meant lots of ikwerre n ukwuani people who correct me over n over dat theynt Igbo, wen they speak with Igbos they don't really flow n only pick out some few words if they listen well, same vice versa. Saying they are Igbos is like saying itsekiris are Yoruba or ibibios are efiks, even urhobo n isoko that are very the same still(and isoko have agreed they came from urhobo) are distinguished as different tribes, if isoko can be different from urhobo why can't ikwerre n ukwuani be different from igbo or Ikpumadu do you claim you know better than hundreds of ikwerres who tell me their nt igbo

I know a lot of ukwuani that say they are Igbo....They are members of proudly anioma proudly Igbo facebook....Can you at least check it before you keep disgracing also check proudly ikwerre proudly Igbo or proudly rivers Igbo

Urhobo man....Are you angry that you are a minority. Well isoko and urhobo are same....They are k own as sobo by us and them


Leave igbo matter all ukwuani understand general Igbo and culture so face front

jamesbalogun:
See grammar

I was thinking that Yoruba are noted for education​ and sophistication

fero007:
Urhobo n Isoko ve same language, custom, dressing, food, dance, evritin with minor variations, but nobody in delta says isoko pepo r urhobo cuz they don't want to be urhobo. So if ukwuanis n ikwerres don't want to be Igbo leave them, they is right to tribe

And who told you that they don't want to be Igbo yet Amaechi said he is more Igbo than Ekweremadu and uche okwukwe ohaneze secretary is ikwerre

Recieve sense naa

Ukwuani that has ohaneze


The same way ijebu i l ow said they hate the name Yoruba some egin ha e even told people here i. Lagos that they aren't Yoruba

fero007:
Urhobo n Isoko ve same language, custom, dressing, food, dance, evritin with minor variations, but nobody in delta says isoko pepo r urhobo cuz they don't want to be urhobo. So if ukwuanis n ikwerres don't want to be Igbo leave them, they is right to tribe

Isoko and Urhobo Re same even here in Lagos they do the same meeting ..They are called Sobos just like Portuguese and Spanish are called Iberians

archangel1:
Please forum I have been looking for an opportunity to ask this question for long. Those who know her better should please help me with simple and object answer. I have so many times made attempt to research on her but with no useful results. Is Mrs. Laurreta Onochie, the current special assistant to President on social media an Igbo woman? Or is she merely married to an Igbo or just bearing an Igbo name. Am seriously battling with picture of doubt.
Over the years, some of her online publications look so antithetical to the trait of a typical Igbo mother bearing in mind she is within the precinct of a paid appointment and she
is obliged to serve her master well. The peak of it all was her inhuman posts during the IPOB vs military saga a couple of months ago. While to certain extent the Igbos might deserve blame for certain postures, this woman never took cognisance of extra-judicial killings and torture displayed by the millitary. She kept mute in that respect.I kept wondering the extent hypocrisy and tokenism went, in enshrouding the sight of Motherhood.
At this moment, it is blowing in the sky that Nigerians are undergoing gargantuan pangs and stress owing to the pandemic fuel scarcity and cases of non dispensation of cash by ATMs during this Yuletide. Behold, what I saw this afternoon in Nairaland was this woman's irrelevant piece talking about something that looks like 'BEFORE INDISCIPLINE....... and rest of them; perhaps,showcasing once more the indifference and hypocrisy rife with this present government. I was very disappointed
Honestly, despite bearing an Igbo surname my instinct is still telling me somthing else. IS SHE A FULL BLOODED IGBO WOMAN? OR SOMETHING NEAR. I will not he be proud of her if I discover so .Infact, l may be forced to change ethnicity�)

She is just bearing an Igbo be those they call fake Igbo

mercyville:


I for one,do not know why Igbos are so provocatively annoying.Only God can treat them of their hate for other tribes and even among themselves.Anambra against IMO etc.When Gabriel, my friend from Imo state told me that Anambrans hate Imolites,I just shook my head as if I have not known this initially.A lot of Yoruba elders are astounded with the hate Igbos have continued to manifest against the Yoruba nationYoruba youths including me,are up to the tasks of giving them back their evil machinations.

And egbas love ijebu ?

Religion has devided them

The Ministry of Labour and Employment Bauchi State Office, has expressed readiness to partner with the Nigerian Prisons Service in the training of both staff and inmates on vocational skills. This was disclosed by the State Controller of the ministry, Taddy E. Yusuf, when he led officials of his ministry on a courtesy visit to the Controller of Prisons, Bauchi State Command, CP Sulaiman T.Sulaiman yesterday in his office.



Mr. Taddy Yusuf noted that the Ministry of Labour and Employment offers various skills acquisition programs ranging from building, carpentry and Joinery, Computer operations, electrical installation, motor vehicle mechanic and welding. Others include, satellite dish installation, pipe fitting and plumbing, tailoring and dressmaking,as well as catering and hotel management.



The Controller said the inmates stand a better chance to gain a whole lot of benefits after undergoing courses of their choice as the Ministry’s certificates of completion are well recognized everywhere. In his response, the Controller of Prisons Bauchi State Command, CP Sulaiman T Sulaiman thanked the Controller Labour for the visit and assured him of the NPS readiness to make good use of the opportunity given for the benefit of Prison inmates.



CP Sulaiman recalled that about 35 inmates were trained by the Ministry in 2016 under the sponsorship of the wife of Bauchi State Governor, Barrister Aisha M.A. Abubakar. The Controller of Prisons then used the opportunity to call on NGOs and wealthy individuals in the society, to assist the inmates to enable them acquire vocational skills so as to become useful members of the society after their discharge from the prisons.

What do think will be the feeling of an average South African who knows Zuma have been facing accusations of corruption and we are putting up his image in Nigeria? About 723 accusations in all.The only thing African in South Africa is the location of the country and perhaps the fact that the blacks there have not stopped wearing there leopard's skin neither have they stopped dancing to their cultural music.

In Zuma's country, there is free medical care. It is even in your best interest to make babies because you will have grants. Whether you are unemployed or not is immaterial. From the pampers to the milk your baby wears and drinks in the hospital, you do not buy them.Being unemployed is somewhat an advantage. You get paid for being unemployed.In Zuma's country, every building is planned with the mindset  that there are handicapped individuals e.g like those who use a wheelchair. Everything is planned down to the curtains you should put in your house in an estate.In Zuma's country, nobody is owing civil servants. You can be sure your kids will go to school. There is a free education. Sound education at that. There are scholarships for academically good students and even sports. They promote sports a lot.



In Zuma's country, you can say anything to Zuma. This is not a  hate speech, mind you just baring it all. You can take Zuma to court as well.Nelson Mandela was sick for months before he passed away. He received treatment in his country unlike Buhari who spent months away from Nigeria.Maternal death is almost zero. Nobody dies during child birth. You don't need to embark on fasting to be able to deliver safely. They so trust their health care that they even prefer to have a CS instead of vaginal birth.

Zuma is facing a corruption charge presently. The supreme court of appeal have given a go ahead for his prosecution. Forget that the money they accuse Zuma of stealing is a child's play from what our politicians steal. It is the same man that Rochas Okorocha diefied. A man abhorred in his own country.What do you think this will make South Africans do to Nigerians? You still think this is Imo State problem?

If that statue were to be in South Africa, they would pull it down in the next couple of days. These people do not joke with protest. Let us pray they do not get to know we have a statue of Zuma in this country.

Thank God the statue looks more like Atiku than Zuma.

IN ZUMA'S COUNTRY, THERE IS FREE MEDICAL CARE. IT IS EVEN IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO MAKE BABIES BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE GRANTS. WHETHER YOU ARE UNEMPLOYED OR NOT IS IMMATERIAL. FROM THE PAMPERS TO THE MILK YOUR BABY WEARS AND DRINKS IN THE HOSPITAL, YOU DO NOT BUY THEM.BEING UNEMPLOYED IS SOMEWHAT AN ADVANTAGE. YOU GET PAID FOR BEING UNEMPLOYED.

As Nigeria joins countries around the world to celebrate International Day of the Girl, Kaduna State fulfilled its commitment to launch a campaign to end violence against children. Kaduna is now the seventh Nigerian state to have launched such a campaign, following promises made by all states to put in place action plans to end violence against children.

On behalf of Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, Deputy Governor Barnabas Bala Bantex promised that government policies would be reinforced to improve the quality of life for girls and to protect the rights of children in Kaduna state. “Basic education is free and compulsory, especially for school age girls in Kaduna State,” the Deputy Governor noted. “We must continue to work with UNICEF and other development partners to protect children and to end the incidence of any form of violence against children,” he added at today’s launch of the campaign in Kaduna.

“If Nigeria is to realize its commitment to achieve gender equality and to empower all women and girls by 2030, it needs to redouble its’ efforts to meet the challenges of violence against girls, child marriage, female genital mutilation, and unequal access to education,” noted Pernille Ironside, UNICEF Representative in Nigeria a.i. “These are the fundamental drivers of inequity for girls.”

At the National Centre for Women Development in Abuja this morning, UNICEF and partners, including the Federal Ministry of Education, the Malala Fund, ONE Campaign and DFID, launched a series of activities to mark International Day of the Girl, which will include essay writing competitions and leadership training for girls.

The global theme for the day this year is “Power of the Adolescent Girl: Vision 2030,” focusing on “EmPOWER girls: Emergency response and resilience planning.” Global studies indicate that in crisis situations, girls are 2.5 times more likely to be out of school than boys, compromising their future prospects for work and financial independence as adults. Health services critical to girls’ wellbeing, including sexual and reproductive health services and information, maternal care, and provisions for menstrual health and hygiene are often scarce or insufficient during periods of conflict.

At the Abuja celebration of International Day of the Girl this morning, UNICEF called for girls to have access to specially-tailored programmes to meet their needs in the humanitarian crisis in northeast Nigeria, where an estimated 4 million children are in need of humanitarian assistance in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.

Thousands of girls in northeast Nigeria have been held by Boko Haram, most suffering the trauma of violence, rape and forced ‘marriage.’ Even when they escape or are released from captivity, the stigma associated with such harrowing experiences can be lifelong and girls require specific support to reintegrate into their communities.



UNICEF interventions in education, health, nutrition, water, sanitation, and child protection in the northeast are designed to be gender-sensitive in order to meet the needs of both girls and boys.

UNICEF also supports the Borno State Ministry of Women Affairs & Social Development in the provision of programmes for girls affected by the insurgency. These include social integration of survivors of conflict-related sexual violence, stigma, counselling support and access to education.

“In emergency situations like the one in northeast Nigeria, we must be sure to listen to girls and encourage them to participate in the processes that affect them, including in disaster management, efforts to build resilience, and in peacebuilding and recovery,” said UNICEF’s Pernille Ironside, “Only with girls’ participation will their perspectives and needs be understood and incorporated into the humanitarian response.”

They have been warned, they have been arrested , they have been notified and educated yet, they have refused to key into the voice of reasoning or listen to the authorities. Today, along Cement Bus Stop, Lagos – Abeokuta Expressway, an Okada ( his name not yet ascertained ), a name given to the bike riders that use their bike to carry passenger was killed this morning as he was riding “one way”, a slang given to those that drive against the traffic. He was killed by an incoming van.

Lagos State government,during the era of Raji Fashola made sure that the ban on motorcycle was effective…it was so effective that you rarely see passengers 0kying this bike on selected expressways in Lagos and the Lagos Abeokuta expressway is one of the, but, as it stands today, the bike has grown guys and balls , with LATSMA looking the other way while they only one way especially this sake expressway due to the ongoing BRT Lane construction which has made the road smaller and the traffic bigger.

In a move to meet up with their appointments, Lagosians ply these bikes that rude against the traffic not minding the inherent risks and also the mental state of the rider, most are always high on some Codeine drugs. A situation that has seen statistics of broken arms and legs surge .

With the death of this “Okada” as of the time if repute, it can’t be ascertained if he had a passenger or not, but it is likely, due to the fact that it happened during a rush hour time and the bike was heading towards Ikeja from Iayana Ipaja axis.

There has been calls for the Lagos government to expedite the ongoing construction of the BRT Lane and also expand the road, this would alleviate the suffering of people along the route and also discourage people from entering the bikes.

EXCELLENT SEX SKILLS AND MASTERY IN BED COVER SERIOUS DEFICIENCIES IN A MARRIED MAN
By eTimes Nigeria October 10, 2017





My uncle Ozumee was a real man indeed.

All his four wives respected him as a god even though he was not a wealthy man. He was well endowed with a very tensile rope and could swing it well.

Ozuomee’s wives beamed happiness only found in women whose husbands could make to sing audibly or inaudibly from the universal orgasmic hymn book.

This sage of an uncle would tell his friends and his male young relations that the control of a woman starts from the bed and that a sexually satisfied woman would stomach whatever other hardships she experiences in her husband’s house including physical abuse.

My lecturers, Dr. Uneze Nweze, Dr. Nwodo and Prof. Okafor of Faculty of Biological Sciences in University of Nigeria, Nsukka stressed the reasons why a man should be a real man and a good choirmaster.

Thank God I also borrowed courses that taught me Sex Biochemistry and Physiology, from where I learnt the erogenous zones of male and female mammals and how to turn them into guitars and drums with my drum stick to produce sweet melodies for the drummer and the she-drum.

I was taught never to rush a woman but to first explore, survey and determine the locations of her soft spots or change-over buttons to enable me apply the right efforts with reverberating responses and to ask my partner how best she wants to be serviced.

With many teaching practices and full time play, I have been able to bring happiness to my home to the glory of God.

Also,I thank Jehovah that gave me the wisdom, the discipline and the knack to ask questions from the master which enriched me as I was gathering my cognate experience.

Even with my science-aided understanding of what to do and when to do it, I was so confident that I was good and solid until I came to Lagos and shared a compound with an Owerri man who just returned from Paris, the city of love.

Uncle J.T, my neighbor further validated my father’s brother’s assertion that a man who can do it well is the numero uno or primus inter pares i.e the winner or the first amongst equals.

Neighbour J.T was a gambler, drunkard, wife beater and a womanizer but his wife, Ifeusor would not, against all counsels, agree to leave her matrimonial home not to talk of divorcing her husband.

She would always respond to such divorce advice from her well meaning Friends and relatives with “o ka m mezie gini?” meaning “what would I then do?” without further explanation of her rhetoric question to anybody. People concluded that her husband had hooked her with juju.

Ifeusor would accept any other bad name used by concerned relations to describe her husband but not “a useless man”. It was her who ate the pudding knew the taste.

She would tell all who cared to listen that her husband was not useless but was not prepared to shed more light on “his area of usefulness”.

The relations of Ifeusor had stopped asking her to leave her husband. “She should juice in her own stew. We shall come carry her corpse whenever John Thomas kills her”, they resigned.

I got it all resolved, one Saturday evening, as I decided to do the laundry behind the bedroom window of my neighbor, who lived at the ground floor flat, close to the common tap in a our fenced compound.

Soon after I soaked my shirts in the washing basin, I started hearing a crescendo of screams from my neighbour’s bedroom.

It was unmistakably Ifeusor’s voice.

The screams lasted for about 15 minutes and then turned to an unsynchronized song that made my very own Mr. Nwosu rise in applause and started shedding a slimy tear of joy in line with Pavlov’s experiment of controlled nervous system.

Ifeusor kept singing “J.T my husband, I will never leave you. I will rather die than to leave you! Kill me let me die. Kill me, kill me my hero, my commander and choirmaster. I’m dying; I’m dying! Chimooo! Chimoooooooo…!”

How could Uncle J.T be this ferocious,explorative and hardworking before nightfall and still, the uninformed call him useless?

I know some women who have deserted serious men who are considered wealthy and hardworking in worldly sense but could not make their wives or women scream or sing even a verse of Ecstasy Hymns.

The last time I checked, Ifeusor was still in Uncle J. T’s house singing her songs as intuned by her hardworking husband.

Men who have not achieved enough level of comfort to attract or to keep their dream women should endeavor to work harder to improve their skills in bed and to learn other ways to make a woman demand for a repeat performance.

There is nothing wrong in making a woman call a performing man multiple titular names like: “Igwe”, “Otunba”, “Chief”, “Nze”, “Okpuuzu” and “Ogbudaa” instead of thankless sounds of someone carrying a heavy load.

I enjoyed it

In tandem with the world postal day, the government postal agency, the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) rejigs its operation with the launch of the electronic money order by the Postmaster General. In a move which has been necessitated by the agencies bid to key into the evolving trend and ICT driven economy, especially in the area of electronic payment and transaction. This launch is assumed to reposition the NIPOST as the carrier of choice for Nigerians wishing to do their shopping on-line.

This launch is coming at a time NIPOST it’s loosing it’s grip in the country’s postal space. This worrying trend that has called for a total restructure of the agency. NIPOST is keen to reposition itself as a reputable and efficient organization, how they would do this… time would tell. As it stands now, the private courier firms call the shots, making NIPOST an onlooker, surviving on Government handouts.

NIPOST seems to be “the last man standing” though staggering. Having other agencies like Nigerian Airways, NITEL has gone under, NIPOST is fighting for a way back to the hearts of Nigerians and the agency seems to be doing that strategically. Having fallen out of favour from Nigeria on many fronts. The Advent of Internet other technology, forms, which includes email, fax, instant messaging and Skype calls with high adoption of penetration. This situation has made many Nigerians to opt for technology to have their messages delivered instead of waiting for the snail mail which Nipost offers. Who writes letters again? That is the question.

But, all hopes are not yet lost, but the fact still remains that NIPOST as an agency of government slept when the industry was evolving. A situation that made the regulator ,relegated. With lack of innovations ,the agency has left market shares to private courier firms , losing ground to private courier service firms.



Image result for NIPOSTThe issue of pilfering and tampering of cargoes and packages has been identified as one of the greatest endings of the agency. This has made the agency’s customers to look elsewhere for reliable couriers. Nigerians are of the hope that with the ongoing restructure and repositioning of the NIPOST, the issue of pilfering would be a thing of past or minimised.

As the world celebrates today as “World Post Day” the need to understand the role post and courier services have played in the society is important. Though, in many countries, the post still functions, but technology has taken over. Bringing the celebration home, the Nigerian postal space which is being overseen by the Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) seems to be slumbering in their duties to ensure a vibrant post industry. With this launch, it is hoped that the agency would bounce back to relevancy .

“There is erosion of public confidence in the country’s postal system on account of the inability of the public postal operator (NIPOST) to deliver on virtually all statutory obligations including basic and core postal services”, The Chairman, Senate Committee on Communications, Senator Gilbert Nnaji.

ABOUT WORLD POST DAY

According to United Nation , World Post Day is celebrated each year on 9 October, the anniversary of the establishment of the Universal Postal Union in 1874 in the Swiss Capital, Bern. It was declared World Post Day by the UPU Congress held in Tokyo, Japan in 1969. Since then, countries around the world participate annually in the celebrations. The Posts in many countries use the event to introduce or promote new postal products and services.

In 2015 countries all over the world committed themselves to working together towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to end extreme poverty and hunger, fight inequality and injustice, and take action to reverse climate change–to name just some of these 17 agreed on new Goals. Playing its part in this global effort, the Post today has a more relevant role than ever by providing infrastructure for development.

The exercise is aimed at reassuring the general public of the resolve of the Nigerian Army and other sister Services and security agencies to work in synergy and complete collaboration to discharge their common constitutional responsibilities of protecting lives and property, eliminating all forms of prevalent crimes within the society and flushing out criminals from their hide-outs in order to guarantee a peaceful and enabling environment for all citizens to pursue their daily living without let or hindrance.

Technology can be described as either negative or positive, with the new invention of ink eraser that erases ink on a paper, there is no more room for any mistake. Though not all that common in Nigeria and Africa per say, but know that the way we handle and tender document would change forever. Banks would be worried over the authenticity of amount and figures written on cheques, forensic department would be over worked. In a nutshell, written document would change forever.

It is the new pen eraser, it has been invented ,just like pencil eraser. It has arrived in the market. Cheques are part of daily lives of corporate and private organisation, cheques issued must be followed up. This is to ensure that no alterations of any kind has been made or would be made, banks and financial institutions must double check these cheques before it is cleared.

For precautionary steps one must take; kindly ensure that put you out a transparent tape on the cheque amount written. This measure would assist in bringing down the level of fraud that would be perpetuated in future. To be forewarned is to be fore armed.

win2kwire:


ibos are the topic, that slowpoke is getting treated like dirt because no one respects ibos in Nigeria.

I thought you said delta Igbo aren't Igbo

Is mere commissioner Igbo..Yet the VP can't even cough


What is wrong with you guys

win2kwire:
These sorts of treatment are usually to ibos, other southerners don't get it so badly these days.

ibos are the least respected people in the country thanks to their crooked history in Nigeria!

Pristine stupidity....Pls where is your VP again ...Is he a northerner...Had he spoken and hasn't he been relegated

Oh...A mere commissioner he was called

sirley:
why is it that only the igbos are opposes to whatever president speaks about??

The. SAN isn't Igbo are Igbo are fearless

toyinjimoh:
Igbos are d enemies of themselves stop blaming buhari for under development in your states, ask ur governors, ur senators ur house representatives and co what they have done with d allocation been given to them by buhari administration...bail out fund twice and Paris funds

The last time i checked all the Yoruba states are backward and poorer....Don't claim Lagos because it's developed by whole Nigeria

Claim Oyo, Osun, Ogun, ondo, ekiti

These are backward under developed states

RedboneSmith:


Wait. Are you suggesting Peter is having problems with Paul for the specific reason that Lola is not Igbo? Didn't Paul marry a Rivers girl?

Is rivers a tribe ?

“So, I don’t know what those who are against restructuring are afraid of. Those afraid must be lazy. We fought the civil war with the Igbo. Today, the Igbo have been completely rebuilt, but we still find mud houses in the north. Is it the fault of the easterners that the north is like that?”

Atiku Abubakar



This is not a tribal superiority contest, but let us look at this statement and analyse it to the latter

The religion of piss

Ojemba

Ordinary wheel nut...can't they change it


Americans like wahala

Who is original Igbo again...define it

WetinConsignMe:


Exactly. Just because u live in Igbo land and speak Igbo doesn't make u an original Igbo person. An original Igbo person, like me, is practical and always looks at the
business side of things. We can see several moves ahead. The Biafra agitators lack that sense. Try and look at this Biafra thing dispassionately, like someone looking from outside, you'll see, it does not benefit Igbos.
