If you have a brother, tell him to go to your village and meet the oldest person in your extended family(okpara). He’s the one that will tell him the requirement for taking the list. In my village it’s just 3000 naira hot drink. Don’t let your fiancé go to your village yet bcs I’m suspecting that your uncle. Your brother or if u don’t have a brother tell a close cousin. Ignore that your uncle but make sure you respects him ooo. If you have a brother after all these tell him to start attending your family meeting we call it umunna family meeting at my side.

My dad is late and my fiance proposed early this year. We did Introduction a few months ago and my very difficult uncle who is the last of his siblings was asked to handle the sending of Marriage List. He is now asking my fiance to pay over 100k for him to transport himself to the village to collect the list. He says it is tradition.

I have reached out to another uncle to try to reason with him but no one is doing anything about it.


I'm Ukwani from Ndokwa west and I don't believe this is how it is done. I have gone back to read about my culture and asked other people and someone said that the list can be gotten from any cyber cafe in the town. Please is this true?

I need advice as I do not want my uncle to take advantage of my fiance. All this is just to see the Marriage List before he now starts to pay for what is on the list.

I'm scared that he will inflate what is on the list too and no one will do anything about it.

Terrorists from both religions? What’s the meaning of this? I’ve not heard of Christian terrorist group before. Is there any Christian terrorist group?

Kharol1234:
Truly most Nigerians are foolish.

So you people are enjoying the killings everyday by terrorist from both religion because It has not gotten to your family, that means it does not concern you when the kill, you are afraid of America going after terrorist because they are you relative or friends then call them to other. people can't travel because of fear of been kidnap or killed.

But what foolish people are concerned about is next election not people been killed everyday.

Looks like u don’t understand what’s happening. What US is saying is that Nigeria government should do something about the killings and genocide or they USA will come into Nigeria and do it for us. To me that’s not bad unless you’re supporting the killings and genocide. You mentioned the killings but you didn’t say anything about what Nigeria govt is doing to end it. Absolutely nothing, instead if they catch the killers, they’ll give them VIP treatment and integrate them into the Nigeria army. Will u deny this is happening?

egunna:
Oh, I thought only Muslims kill Christians?prosecution or not, ppl behave the way they want to, irrespective of their religion. This is the point I want you get. Muslims have been killed, so have christians.the cry of genocide against Christians is crying wolf where there is none. If not for your hypocrisy, the number of ppl that have been killed in zamfara, Sokoto, kebbi, katsina and Niger far outweighs the number of ppl killed in plateau, benue and southern kaduna.but no, you guys want to drive another narrative.no wahala, the Yoruba man says Mura si, hausa man says ci haba, keep inviting the us to come and fight your imaginary war for you, but remember that a bulley or bomb doesn't know Christian or Muslim.

A Nigerian is telling a fellow Nigerian that he doesn’t have a country. So Nigeria is not his country again? So you’re proud to say you’re forcing him to be where he doesn’t want to be? Is this not why trump called this country a disgraceful country?

Richtaiwo:
So US is your might? What is your contribution to this might? Abi na to stay for one place dey echo the strength of a country that you contributed absolutely nothing to? Let the Americans echo their military might, not you who the country doesn't know jack of your existence. At least, I belong to a "weak" country, but that is my country, I mean my father land. But do you even have a country? Even if na frail one?

Stop spamming this thread with this rubbish you’re spewing pls. If you can’t mention the offers, pls STFU. [quote author=hafeeanubasy post=137325493][/quote]

Nice one from you Jenny, thumbs up. What you said is true. He won’t die if he book Uber or bolt to take a girl to a date and the girl won’t die if she book the Uber or bolt too.

Jennyclay:
Broke man

Look at the nonsense slippers he wore on a date

And again, Men should stop using okada to take a lady out on a date. It’s absurd.

Will you die if you book bolt or uber to take a lady on a date? Biko answer me

This is complete rubbish. Tinubu does not have any good policy or schemes. Taxing the hell out of the people and stopping subsidy payment is not a good policy. He’s saving subsidy money and is still borrowing heavily while the rubber stamp National Assembly approves every rubbish he brings to them. Is that what you call good policy? Selecting certificate forgers and evil men is what you said is better than GEJ’s men like okonjo and co? Even a known bigot like onanuga is a technocrat to you too? Smooth liar in chief Reno and always hungry FFK who are known political hustlers that cares only about their stomach are technocrats? Bwala too? Guy rest joor!!! The worst of us is what’s in the helm of affairs of the country now. That’s why things are not getting better despite their lies and propaganda. A country ruled by cultists, certificate forgers, drug barons, bigots, known looters and kleptomaniacs will never be better. Check the list of those pardoned by the president and you’ll understand where the country is heading to.

Basicend:
The issue with Tinubu is greed and heartlessness.

He has quite good policies and schemes. He sorround himself with a team of skilled and good technocrats. Cardoso. . Edun etc, those guys have gradually achieve good level of trust and stability in the system.

He has far better economic policies and cabinet team than GEJ and Buhari.

However, Tinubu is extremely wicked to his people. Continuously attempting to tax already over-impoverished citizens to death without cushioning inflational tendencies.

The most annoying part is that he keeps appropriating the people's monies carelessly, very corruptly and just within a selected few cohorts.

What is use of a president if many of his people are not even sure of affording a food to eat, not to talk of shelter?

The president must be accountable.

Bros don’t stress yourself, that helinues doesn’t think at all.

Ezeama400:
Is Nigeria a productive country ?

What are u producing to be comparing yourself with a country like US that has a very strong economy?

The way some of you guys reason sef !

Bros juxtapose what you just said with what happened to coins in Nigeria. Hope you are in Nigeria when small denomination notes were introduced and you saw how it eliminated the coins? See what all these means is that Tinubu economic theory is not working, simple.

COMPAQ:
You are actually the one that doesn't understand basic economics! The denomination has little to do with inflation.

Buhari printing N22trln of ways and means did 100 times more damage than having N10,000 note will ever do.

Operating a N20trln deficit does more damage to inflation than the value of your denomination will ever do.

The critical thing CBN needs to do is to ensure that if they print 1 million notes of N10,000 bills, which is N10bln in value, they have to remove equivalent value in lower denominations from the market so that money supply remaiins the same.

Manyfacturers do not increase prices because of the level of denomination.

If Milo is N100, it remains N100.

That gist of the denomination will increase inflation is actually the beer parlour gist

Complete rubbish. How does this make sense to you?

sreamsense:
Yes, I agree, but...! If we stop killing of christians from the north, but we still allow ipob/ESN to kidnap catholic sisters, kill anglican bishop, and kill christians in general for having opposing views about Biafra land of saboteurs, is our fight not going to be counterproductive especially to you as a supporter of number10 terrorist deadliest organization in the world founded by KANU in DSS zoological garden ?

Can Tinubu do it? Is he not making the situation of the country worst?

Joeboypondeck:
can Peter obi solve Nigeria

When was the midnight demolition carried out and was it by anambra state government? What type of journalism is this? Hope you know this report is not complete and it doesn’t make sense? This is exactly what I call Lagos journalism only meant to tarnish the south east. [quote author=AnonPoet post=137267925]A viral video has surfaced online showing an alleged illegal midnight demolition around Otumoye Street, Onitsha, in Anambra State.

The video, now circulating across social media platforms, has sparked outrage among citizens who are demanding an immediate investigation from the Anambra State Government and relevant agencies to uncover those behind the demolition.

Video here:

You’re a bigot but I assure you that you can’t do more than others before you had done. I assure you that you’ll get tired soon while those you’re hating keep on blossoming.

sreamsense:
Likely due to job loss and joblessness. South east is expected to top the list since most illegal trading and faking products that are confiscate d by government agencies do render some of them job loss and joblessness. Chinedu that is selling slippers, but covered up at background with illegal drug. Once NDLEA, gets him bursted and locked up his shop; he becomes jobless likewise Ndubuisi caught by NAFDAC producing fake baby teething formular and then write made in India with fake NAFDAC number can loose his license or get his shop locked, which renders him jobless

The radio senator lying cheaply to see if he can get a ministerial appointment.

And till now they’ve not been able to defeat common ordinary ukraine. U ppl sef!!!!

mach7:
Same way they went to Yemen to straighten the Houthis and failed spectacularly in doing so?

See the US shouldn't deceive themselves, they cannot root out Hamas.

Israel has fought 3 major ground campaigns against Hamas and it has ended same way.

America isn't coming to do anything different even if they put boots on the ground.

The only Army that is combat ready and capable enough of defeating Hamas on the ground is the Rusisan Army.

Bro, was it Nigeria that told them to field an ineligible player? Didn’t they know FIFA rules against fielding ineligible or unqualified players? They flaunted FIFA rules for God’s sake. Why are you supporting them? If they didn’t flaunt FIFA rules will Nigeria do anything to them? They have themselves to blame for not obeying football governing body’s rules. Nigeria only made them to obey it. Don’t forget they even failed playing home and away matches rules or playing at a neutral ground. If someone pick it and force for it’s enforcement don’t blame the person.

Rexnegro:
Bro we should forget what Nigeria have done for them in past, if we check underneath things there might be something Nigeria benefitted from all that apartheid struggled that we assisted them on. We should stop all that talk abeg , he read the minister that it was Nigeria that pushed more for that petition so he got every right to exercise or not to exercise his discretion on us not to qualify. Abi nahim say make we no win matches wey we no win ? Enough of what Nigeria did for sa this for SA that abeg. Nigerians soiling sa nko ?

Na una developed una region? Your region is not even developed except Lagos and it wasn’t you people that developed Lagos that’s if you have the brain to know. Lagos was a former FCT and was developed by FG with Niger Delta oil money. I’m not supporting Charlie boy’s post but you have to stop saying this as if it’s yorubas that developed Lagos.

Krankhead:
Ignos are fearless but they are behind and crying everywhere for marginalization. Shame no dey catch una. You can't stay and develop your region. Bunch of myopic sound bites

Why is it you people don’t like making use of your brains? Why build new schools when the old ones are in ruins? How many new schools did Obiano build and how many has Soludo built? Non!!! Anambra doesn’t need new schools, we have enough schools plus the fact that there are lots of private schools in all the LGs. I know you agbadorians will still repeat this question.

Sonnobax15:

Give answer to the message and don't attack the messenger.....But hell no!!! The Nigerians whom I know so well would rather want to kill the messenger than get the message he's trying to convey..

Anyways,No Nigerian politician,both dead and alive is a saint.....My only problem is that some people try as much as possible to paint a certain people to be,and even try to pin their opinions on us,as if we don't have our own opinions as humans .

But then again,did PO build any school when he was the governor of Anambra state? I want a genuine answer to this,from an indigene of Anambra state and not from a stranger..

Now the war will end. I now believe hamas and Palestine want peace. Lessons has been learnt. Those blaming Israel for defending themselves against terrorists should will be ashamed. You’re blaming Israel for defending themselves that means you’re supporting the terrorists. What a shame!!!

Who’s this liar again this Sunday morning?

Omoboricash:
Many people did not know PO started his political career from APP. When he could not achieve his political aspiration he moved to APGA then PDP , LP now floating between LP and ADC

It’s either you don’t know anything that happened in 2023 or you’re intentionally twisting the whole thing to suit your narrative. Atiku agreed to zoned the presidency to the south but insisted that it must be micro zoned to south east but Wike refused. That’s why it was throwned opened to everybody to contest and Wike lost. He thought atiku would pick him as vice but atiku ignored him. That’s why he’s throwing tantrum spoiling the party. That’s what happened so stop your lies.

hafeeanubasy:
Why are you always scared to blame ATIKU? 😆


What did wike cause?


Atiku that stole Igbo birthright in PDP in 2023 is not the problem but wike that stood firm against him.

ATIKU that has never at anytime contributed to party building in PDP,except to either run away to dubai or any uther party and come back to get presidential ticket when its time

You people politics revolves round Tinubu. How could Atiku that stopped Igbo candidacy in PDP after years of servitude to PDP be your hero but wike is your villain( just because he is associated with Tinubu)

MaiDeribe:
Netenyahu should be arrested, the world has to abide by the international criminal court ICC.

. tell hamas to release the hostages with them if you people want the war to end. If Netanyahu is committing genocide, what do you call what hamas did in October 7 ? You can’t enter another person’s country, kill and take some of them hostage and when they react you start shouting genocide because you have people that will listen to you. Hamas should release the hostages with them so that all these will end.

Loan, loan oooo!!!! Loan that will still be paid. How’s increasing school fees and giving loans to students an achievement? Won’t they pay the loan? Why increase the school fees? Is that not rubbing Peter to pay Paul? Why are you guys celebrating that? Don’t you people have a little gray matter up there again?

helinues:
Another good development news from this government.

The student loan beneficiaries have been praising president Tinubu for such opportunity.

The opposition will really struggle with their campaigns in 2027

Are you aware of this? Or will you ignore it?

helinues:
Na good news. They don't celebrate that. They are only after sad news as they are bitter people

Are you sure you understand the meaning of motive you that’s asking this question?

DoctorStanley:
Do you understand meaning of motive? How in the world does spending his money depopulating India and Africa benfit him??
That's one question evil people manipulating you can't answer: MOTIVE!
Besides, so if you want to kill off Indians and Africans and you mean evil by it, you come out and announce it?? You people should think sometimes

Tell me, why is he concerned about the population of the world? And pls which evil people are you talking about? Americans that rejected his GMO foods are they part of the evil people? Evil one is the one spreading cancer with GMO foods, you better know that now.
