Thanks for letting us know that Lord of Idiots is your new title and Emperor of Fools was attached to your name. What protection has Assange given to citizens of the world? One of those unseen entities tracking and monitoring data and secret threats is America and its allies. The same America whose confidential documents Assange splashed on the internet thereby endangering its secret service agents and operations, is the same America that is regarded as the policeman of the world. It is that same America that your IPOB members appealed to for help. And now you are claiming that Assange is protecting citizens from them? Then you chaps should have appealed to Assange first for help, so he can send you an army instead of calling on Trump in the first place.

America monitors data for business purposes and has nothing about monitoring threat. America is not a country. It's a corporation and an oil company with a big army and nuclear weapon.

laudate:
All the people he has gotten on their matter, what has happened to them? Why do you chaps elevate inconsequential things to a high art?

you're not sounding intelligent today. Please don't let your hatred for Igbo's blind you from certain facts. I hate many activities of the Igbo's but in terms of Biafra I'm with them because they're the only people that's been able to challenge the status quo. Life has no permanent friends or permanent enemies. Even if your enemy does something noble, admit it.

As for Assange, he's no ordinary guy. He already knew he would become a fugitive before he embarked on a mission of exposing evil dealings in government and corporations. The world really need more of him. And the navy seals guy and Snowden's leakage also exposed a lot of atrocities being committed by the US military, FBI and CIA against the world. If you say Asange hasn't had any impact on the countries he's exposed shows you're biased. Do you know the damages all his exposures has caused? Do you also know about how the internet pressure group called anonymous shut down servers and destroyed lots of data of many countries because of Asange? Lots of governments and big corporations have experienced DDOS attacks from Anonymous group leading to loss of trillions of dollars. Asange has a legion of soldiers behind his back that are ready to attack and destroy the untouchables. Their attacks are more dangerous than that of Isis and book haram

I don't understand why Nigerians like to sugarcoat words. He's not aware what's happening? Is he not the Petroleum minister? If Baru was not doing his bidding and he was not current as to happenings in petroleum ministry and NNPC, wouldn't he had summoned Kachiku for a briefing? Not doing that shows he's aware of everything and Baru was doing his bidding. They want to turn Kachiku to a figure head

comshots:
We only see names.We don't see whether it is federal character basis

That's why I said "somehow ".

Nobody will shout about this. Federal character was somehow respected I think.

What kind of brains do these Buhari supporters use? So even if the guy there is jubrin and not Buhari you don't see anything wrong in that and all you can comment on it is to absolve Buhari of every evil he's committed? Whether good or evil? For you to mention good or evil shows there's only evil. But is Nigeria your father's company that you can change manager and director as you wish ? As long as we're still in Nigeria we have every right to know the happenings and going ons in this evil country pending when freedom comes. I've also seen some very idiotic logic of "you didn't vote for him so you don't have any business with how he runs Nigeria". Like seriously ? Give us freedom and we'll not worry about how you run your animal kingdom. But until then....

This guy is watching too much Movies.

You cannot clone an adult version of someone. A clone starts life as a festus and has to be born.

yes but you can find a look alike and perform surgery to become more identical. D you doubt this? I'm not saying the cloning theory is true but I know it's possible

ElPhoche:
In the words of Tyrione Lannister, 'Some things are not true just because you want to believe not true'. Sitting in your sitting room, making an assumption and holding that assumption to be true is so ignorant.
I may be as fertile as a rabbit, but I am not giving birth to more than 2-3 kids (irrespective of sex) simply because I want to give those 2-3 the best quality of life I can, remove reproductive stress from my wife and enjoy her fresh too. Fertility is not by the number of children you have. In this present time, to born on village is so rubbish. How many people in Nigeria can take care of a 5 children comfortably?

of course I know that. They the white women give birth to less children is not the reason I made that assertion. If you don't know about the goings on in this world, you would never understand some certain things. There's so many things wrong with the white man's body which you can never see in any medical journal. There's a conspiracy to hide any deficiency in them and exposed any little insufficiencies in us albeit magnifying them. The white man's body is not all glowing. Their system is weak. Believe it or not. I've been privileged to get first hand information on this courtesy of some black Caribbeans I moved with. I can't share here for certain reasons

ernieboy:
u are the one not making any sense when u make drinking of pond water and living in mosquito infested environments sound normal. I took up issues with u when u claimed that Nigerians don't fall sick when they drink pond water or live in mosquito infested neighborhoods, and I gave facts and stats that proved otherwise.

mosquito bites and drinking pond water makes Africans sick but I was comparing and contrasting the fatality rate having people of a certain race and civilization exposed to such conditions at a very low duration. I remember going to the village when I was little, I saw a pond in my grandfather's compound and I was told that's what everybody from my great great grand father drank from and I compared their age, including their brothers and sisters, they lived above hundred. Even my father drank from it at the early stage of his life and he's almost hundred and still reading with his naked eyes. They were exposed to mosquitoes and other deadly flies, but they survived it. The immunity to these things on our body has waned drastically but not to be compared to those races. From my interactions with people of different nationalities, they can survive for few months without check up and medical attention because their body system is seriously weakened. They survive on machines and gadgets fixed on their body. You hardly see an adult that hasn't done one form of surgery or the other

ElPhoche:
The die from malaria because we have developed significant immunity from from a lifetime of mosquito bite. If you stay in d united states for like 10 years and come back, you are almost as vulnerable.
We have immunity simply because we are constantly exposed to shit that our system has gotten used to it and produce antibodies against them, which on its own still doesn't make us invincible. It is simply a case of not needing something because you have no use for it.

it doesn't make us invincible but it makes the fatality rate extremely marginal compared how it would be with some certain race of people when exposed to exactly the same conditions. I don't believe in many of the stats I see because they're used a propaganda tool of making it seem like Africa is home of sickness and diseases while in the real sense they're the ones that suffer so much from them. I judge from my personal interactions with different races and nationalities and I've come to the conclusion that despite the artificial and diabolical manufacturing of diseases by Bill gates, Obama and the rest of them into Africa, they have more diseases than us. Our women take in more easily than theirs. High percentage of their women are dependent on fertility drugs and other things. Many of their people have weak body systems and they're dependent on machines to exist.

Peace can never be forced. Buhari think he can force peace while doing nothing about equality and justice? He wants to leave the status quo including the killings and islamization agenda? Ok ma

ernieboy:
u talked about mosquito do u know that according to a study by the univ of Ibadan about 1.5 m people die of malaria yearly. there are even stronger strains coming out now. in the recent past we witnessed the outbreak of cholera in some parts of Nigeria and u are here telling us that people can drink dirty pond water and not fall sick.
here are some few links to start u off on ur research ( assuming u are actually interested in making statements backed by facts)
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/51m-nigerians-tested-positive-malaria-2015-nimr/
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/09/6-dead-45-cases-recorded-lagos-cholera-outbreak/

you're not making sense. Are you arguing that Africans have much more stronger immunity to so many things compared to white counterparts? Can an average white man that visited Africa survive mosquito bites for a week without falling sick and eventually dying if not properly treated? Can an average white man drink pond water for a week without falling sick and dying? Yet I've seen people that have been exposed to mosquito and drank pond water all their lives and they lived for hundred of years. The question now is, is there such things as immunity?

Elliot2:
from someone who has not seen been to any hospital in nigeria!

meaning?

ernieboy:
stop sounding like an illiterate, did ur friends conduct a survey that they used to collect data from the 36 states and the over 700 LGAs we have in the country? do u know how many seemingly healthy looking persons are walking about not knowing anything is wrong because Nigerians don't go for medical checkup?

I'm not going to go about this argument with you. Many Nigerians don't go for check up until they're sick but the data from those sick people shows that some certain diseases prevalent in the Western world are minimal in our part of the world. I expected you to mention things like their eating habits and environment and also stronger immunity as some of the reason its so but you never did. How you ever wondered how some people are able to drink dirty pond water and survive for centuries while a white man from the developed world would die immediately after a short time? What about mosquito bites? I can go on and on listing examples and factors that contribute to them

ElPhoche:
Trust me, your assertion is not true. I am a doctor. Part of the reasons it appears that our people don't suffer as much are these
-Nigeria doesn't have a cancer registry, at best a quasi-registry is what we have. The Americans have it and all tcancers are recorded. They are good with keeping records.
-Nigeria is just like the size of a state in the US.
Assume that in your village, 20person get an illness but only 6 reported, and then another State with 10 villages, who the 200 (20×10) reported, can you say that your village doesn't suffer cancers as much?
I am not trying to say that they don't have cancer as much as us, but cancers have types too. I know several times that when we make a diagnosis of cancer like Nephroblastoma in children, and tell the parents, they would be surprised thatn'children can have cancer'
-We don't seek care in Nigeria for reasons like shame, ignorance, poverty, 'church'

How many times have you gone for a checkup? That should go a long way in answering your question.

My regards to you. Do have a nice day

I'm not a doctor but I'm talking from first hand experience. I'm not talking about population but percentage. A high percentage of Americans are suffering from one sickness or the other. The common sickness in Nigeria is typhoid and malaria. I have friends and family here and in the US. From my experience there, a high percentage of Americans are suffering from some serious illness that requires an operation. Many people there survive on blood thinners. Some can't sleep without having some machines close by. Don't talk like I don't have friends in Nigeria anymore and don't know the type of sicknesses existing here.

Luckily, Nigerians don't suffer up to 1% of cancer and brain tumor or any other acute and chronic sicknesses you can think of as the US. Any average teen or adult in the US has undergone one form of surgery or another. So many have artificial instruments fixed inside their body and others are living with gadgets. Yet they say Africa is home of diseases. Only someone that's never been there or someone that's never had close relationship with them would believe such claims

nengibo:
So not every tribe in Edo state can be said to be Edo people?

The fact is, there is difference between Edo as in State and Edo people. Just take it like that. And to answer your question, not every tribe in Edo state can be classified as Edo people but most tribes are Edo and those that can't be classified as Edo are Edo related eg. The Ika speaking communities scattered in 3 local government areas of Edo state.

nengibo:
Okay, I made that comment because of the title of the thread

We're still saying the same thing. Edo people is a different thing from Edo state

Cine:
That's great. I wish someone would document them with photographs as it won't take long for those alive to die out and then we'll be left with none.

Visual records are much better for future generations. I guess not enough people are interested in things like that these days.

very correct. I've only seen about a couple of elders with that mark within the last few decades. I don't know if there's any single person in Ika still having that mark at present. It's been a while since I visited home. Gotta find out when I visit home.

nengibo:
Ika ppl are found in Edo so they qualify as Edo people

some Ika people are of Edo state origin but remember state of origin is an artificial creation. My comment is about the kinship between the Ika and Edo people. I mean the Bini and Esan people Not Edo State.

All I can tell you is RUN for your life now that you have the time. Or live to regret it.

Arrogant and a liar. You stopped a 2 million monthly job without any savings and ended up hawking phones? Easy na!!!

Ujuju is an Ika cuisine. Other Anioma group knows about it but it's not a cuisine eaten generally in Anioma. And people outside Anioma don't know about this food except they saw it in Aniomaland or in house of someone from Ika.

Probz:
Listen, has anyone had a read of this? http://www.fao.org/3/a-i0370e/i0370e13.pdf

Outlines perfectly traditional Igbo cuisine. Some strange bits though. Who wan tell me what ujuju is?

ujuju is not an Igbo food. The people that has ujuju don't have same cuisine with the Igbo

Probz:
Do you mind listing said communities and LGAs please?

I can't remember many of these communities. But I know some places are bilingual up to Ugomoso Edo part of Igbogili, Owa ri Uzor and many others.

Others are
Orhiowon LGA - Otubaye, Ugbeka, Ohezenaka, Iru
Uhumwode LGA - Ughada
Igueben LGA - Ekpon. There are many bilingual communities in these Edo local government

Wike is right after all

Onojasteve:
A lady I met two months ego, fell deeply in love with me, and was very obsess with me, she does crazy things in the name of love, but I don't love her in return. she is not up to my standard, she uneducated, she lies, she form what she is not just to impress me. she dress funny to impress, she has damaged her body just to look fair because I like fair ladies.
I am tired of her harassment, and obsessions because I don't love her. I try to talk sense into her as a friend, but she hardly learn.
Please what do I do, have some one I truly admires for a wife.y our suggestions and advices is highly appreciated.
No insult pls.

presently experiencing this

biliky:
very funny set of people , how can you claim to be part of a major ethnic group yet being bullied by a minority group . why dont you identify with the larger igbo race, join ohaneze integrate yourself properly , thats your only hope of salvation . they are not the only igboid groups in other non igbo state but their situation is bad because they have decided to isolate themselves from the larger group . more like what happens in the jungle , once you leave the pack or herd you become meat for other predators .

They claim to be part of Ika. Ika is not a majority. Do you even know what you are talking about?

Afam4eva:
I really don't understand. I thought Cire80 said that they were Binis originally, so why would the Ika people have a problem with dropping their Igbo names and titles that they acquired due to trade with Igbos for a Bini one. Shouldn't they be more proud that they're finally going to be reunited with their bini people.

Btw, this should be moved to the culture section.

this is a compilation of different articles and write ups. Who is Mordsith? Is he from Igbanke? If he's not, he doesn't have any business with Igbanke. It's a fact that Igbankes are of Edo origin. Whether Bini or Ishan or Ora or whatever. Edos are not one. Today Igbanke is ethnically Ika and linguistically Ika/Igboid as well. This post is filled with half truths and lies so I have to ignore it.

How many of these cars exist in these states?

Probz:
Igbanke's the one.

Igbanke is just one of the many Ika speaking communities in Edo State. Ikas exist in up to 3 local governments far deep into Edo. Although some of these communities are not really Ika people. Some are Esans and Binis that have adopted Ika as a second language.

Can you take a minute and shut the Bleep up.
So what you're having marital problems? You're not the first neither are you going to be the last, so dont even entertain that i want to end it all crap.
Worst case scenario, he leaves you and you become a single lady again at whatever your age is. Is marriage all your life achievement and life goal is all about?
Single successful ladies every where having the time of their life, and I don't need to mention names.
Besides what makes you think you won't find love again? So many guys out here don't even want kids maybe cos they're already single fathers or they just don't, so many don't mind adopting.
My point in essence is life goes on. You just have to accept your fate, reevaluate your life and concentrate on what matters... What makes you happy? How about making an impact on your career, business, as a philanthropist, etc I'm sure you have an idea what I'm talking about already.
Really it might seem like all hope is lost but you know what, it never is. Stay positive, stay interesting, stay interested. Live. There's a lot to life.

Rubbish!!!
