tintingz: He's the king of the jews

you just exposed yourself as a muslim wit this ur brainwashed opinion. Yeshua said, 'my people perish for lack of knowledge'. You my friend are like d pharisees of Jesus' earthly time. Read the Gospel and learn, forget what ur mallam told u

okcharles7: God forbid the worship of idol

lol@Idol. No church has a more Jesus centred worship as d Catholic Church, forget wht u hv been told. All u need to do to b convinced is go to a mass nd listen to d entire content of d mass. I wont argue based on ur possible ignorance

that looks lyk Demonstration uniform(any warri person will know wht i'm talkin about).

The crazy tin about sex is that it neva eva comes to a point u can say 'i hv had my fill' or 'i hv had it wit d best i dont need anoda'. Know y? Cos its a primordial instinct meant to populate d earth, even animals hv it. That makes the one that has greater self control a higher being, superior in thinkin to animals(basic logic). However, its a tough situation u find urself especially if u r not a virgin. It gets more complicated if she's not a virgin, which u must determine objectively. Its quite easy to sleep wit a girl u've had sex wit b4, whether u r dating her or not i.e if shez not a virgin, she most likely wud be doin it wit at least someone shez done it wit b4. But if u want to sleep well at night nd not lose sleep ova this, jes reason tht u r doin this for you nd not for her or anyone. Meanyle, all those advicing him to bleep it, if u do g to church at all, you r d greatest hypocrite of em' all

Omo_Alata: Were you faithful in this 4 yrs period?

is tht u on ur profile picture or the way u wish to be?

5 things we learned from Saturday's EPL games:
1. Man U 1-1 Sot'on. 1 home win in 4, united is losing its winning culture and if they lose it they lose all.
2. Chelsea 4-1 Cardiff. For the home side the scoreline flatters but only hides the fact that Chelsea is stil playing without a clear tactical identity
3. Arsenal 4-1 Norwich. Flamini's exit due to a concussion suffered in d first period exposed Arsenal's defence for long spells afterwards and emphasised the importance of the midfield generalissimo.
4. Stil on Arsenal. Aaron Ramsey's impact after coming off the bench with a brilliant individual goal and a superb flick on to provide Ozil's second. The lad is proving to be a very vital member of the squad.
5. W'ham 1-3 City...........a stroll basically. Aguero should be Pellegrini's main striker.

As much as the cost of celebrating marraiges is relative, with all indices assumed to be normal, how much should ideally be budgeted to cover cost of traditional and white wedding in Nigeria.

Please your opinions should be based on the emphasis, 'AVERAGE NIGERIAN' and on the economic condition prevalent in the country.

I would love contributions from single female folks and married men and just about anyone wit an idea.

babyosisi: There are only few states that allow foreign trained dentists to take their licensure exams and one of those states is California
It is a series of exams that could take over 2 years to complete and at the end of it,you can only practice in California

His best bet will be to seek admission for what they call advance standing
It is a program run by some dental schools where foreign dentists can go in and do an accelerated program for an American dental degree for 2 or 3 years depending on the school.

It is very competitive to get in

He needs a high score in part one and two national dental board examinations
A good TOEFL with TWE score
His transcript evaluated
Before he can even apply to a school

One of such schools is NYU dental school
Another is Loma Linda in California
There are others

Let him go to their websites and check on the admission requirements for foreign trained dentists

You sure know your stuff. You see, i like ur approach to d whole America ish. The world is actually becoming one big country(like global) and its not a bad idea for those who want to leave naija to do so. This is whr @Ozo-emeka got it wrong. But on d flip side, its important to know tht its not all rosy anywhr in d world as Ozo-emeka was pointing out, albeit in an over-pessimistic manner. The two of ur views r complimentary in a way. Luv u guyz

pls OP, i hv a kid broda tht studied dentistry in 9ja nd is hoping to travel to yankee this year. Wht r his chances ova thr. I need ur response ASAP. Thanx

This is wht u get when u hv unsuitable people running parastatals. In a country with an estimated population of 170million pple and with strong interest in football coupled with the importance of the game to be played, won't BON be able to make 5 times of tht moni from adverts nd sponsors. Some agbada wearing old men not doing their freaking jobs

Baruch Haba by Paul Wilbur

Lucasbalo: .whoa.
Being raised by his white grandparents after the death of his mother disqualify him as being black. Nairalander never ceases to amaze me.

his skin is black but his mentality cannot be, based on the environment he was raised

anonimi: I will like to respectfully disagree with you.
We can't keep blaimng others for how we behave. No we cannot.
It is rather more about how far we have evolved as a group of human beings and what our values are on the continuous spectrum with individuality at one end and societal concerns at the other extreme.
Why are many ethnic groups and countries in Africa still very violent just as the whites were up to some 70 years ago (end of WW2)
Why do you think our ancestors who were trading their kiths and kins as slaves to the whites wrote & protested to the white people to protest the prohibition of slave trade? And that includes the renowned slave trader, Madam Tinubu of Lagos & Abeokuta!

My bro, i understand whr u r coming from. Personally, i am one for not blaming others for my mistakes. However, we must call a spade a spade. Slave trading occured in other parts of the world far from sub-saharan Africa. In d Bible for example, Joseph was sold by his own brothers as slaves to merchants of other tribe. In Africa, most of the people sold as slaves were outcasts or prisoners of war, not like a king wud just pick his subjects and sell them as slaves. I'm not justifying slavery here but only pointing out tht wht d blacks did then is not wht other races had not done before or were not doing at the time. So dont say a blackman is uniquely foolish for selling fellow blacks as slaves. As a matter of fact, the English sold scottish slaves at a time in history.
On the issue of violence, the whiteman didnt stop becoming violent after WW2. The genocide in bosnia occured decades after WW2, the violence going on in d middle east has nothing to do with blacks, the cold war in the Koreas has nothing to do with blacks etc.
Agreed, we hv our issues in Africa but they r not because of our skin color but because of some historical accidents and geographical factors.

Godson201333: I am living in Europe and i am starting to believe that this racism thingy can be favorable at times.You see that is why Europe is very cleaned and organized than USA.I know there too and when i say very clean i mean very clean but the racism here is higher than USA.

It is just because we black people some of us are violent,dangerous and some do not even have focus.If you see people fighting here they are blacks,If they organize a party they are gonna fight at the end,many of us are just bad..

The rate of blacks going to school here too is very low,we just wanna make quick money.

Violence is not in a blackman's gene. Its all about cause/effect. Wen u segregate a minority section of a population based on their skin color for so long, leaving them wit no sense responsibility nd importance, they become careless nd ignore certain consequence (a notin to lose attitude). The black people ova thr r living the script written by the white man's ignorantly wicked hearts many years ago

Afam4eva: Things have definitely gotten better since Martin Luther King and they will keep getting better for Black people in America. The fact that you have a black president does not give credence to the gargantuan racism that you have painted. Granted that there is racism in America just like everywhere in the world including Nigeria, i think the minority population have been given the opportunity to succeed through affirmative action and other policies and some have taken that opportunity. It will take a very long time to see a massive effect of these policies cos blacks have been dealt a deadly blow in the past.

Black president u said? I stopped seeing Obama as a true black wen i found out he was raised by a white mom/grandmom. Dude's blackness is only in the color of his skin, he has a white mentality. Its like expecting a man with an Igbo father, born in Sokoto and raised by his Hausa maternal family to hv an Igbo mentality

Lord_Reed: If you are looking for a replacement phone then I think you should eliminate the tablet from your choices, it's bigger than a normal phone and so may present you with logistic difficulties as to carrying it about. That said I would advise you to go go for any of the range of Android phones within your budget particularly if you can wait a bit for the Note 3. If you are too eager then I advise you to choose from among the following: Galaxy S4, Note 2, HTC One, Xperia Z. My personal preference amongst these is the S4, I can bet you'd never regret the purchase.

Blackberry while functional has a limited future. Lumia 920 while nice might not offer you the type of customization you are used to on the symbian platform.

thanx pal, u've bin of great help

dybaba: Is Nokia Lumia an Android phone?

Well, i was jes hoping

can Nokia Lumia use d BBM for android?

hi guys, i made up my mind a month ago to finally upgrade from my Nokia E-5 to a Q10, but wit the recent negative news about BB market slide and the introductn of BBM on android device, i started havin a second thought. Now i'm confused about d whole tin. I need advice on possible alternatives, should i go for a Lumia 920, galaxy tab/note, galaxy smartfone or stick wit my first idea, Q10. My budget is btw 70-90k nd i like gettin value for evry dime(a reason i hv used my E5 til now to extract evry penny from d 28k i spent on it 2yrs ago)

Be a Catholic and all your restlessness will be settled. There, there is the FULLNESS of God's presence.

tonychristopher: IS ANIOMA A TRIBE, IS ANIOMA NON IGBO AND WHY DO WE HAVE THIS DICHOTOMY IN DELTA IGBO, AGBORS SAID THEY ARE NOT IGBO, ANIOMA SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT IGBO. TO BE HONEST I HAVE NOT SEEN AN ABOH MAN BEFORE IN MY LIFE..... I THINK THEY ARE GOING EXTINCT. WHERE IN MAP IS ABOH ANYWAY. WE IGBOS CARE LESS ABOUT THESE DUDES I MUST SAY AND THEY SEEMS TO BE IMPACTLESS AND INMATERIAL TO IGBO CAUSE.

IGBOS DO NOT LEAN ON PEOPLE BUT ON THEIR INGENUITY. I KNOW FOR SUR AND I HAVE SEEN IN LAGOS SOMANY KWALE AND AGBOR SAYING THEY ARE IGBO AND IF YOU DOUBT THIS GO ASK A BENIN OR URHOBO AND IJAW WHICH TRIBE IS ABOH ..... THEN GET BACK AND ANSWER ME. THANK LORD MY KWALE LOVELY WIFE HAS SEN REASON WITH ME, AND WHY DO THEY ALWAYS FEEL OK WITH US THAN OTHERS.

I MUST SAY THEY PRODUCE GOOD WOMEN AND MY WIFE IS JUST ONE.

We r not fighting o. Your tone is getting too harsh for an Inlaw. Anyways, if u hv live/lived in Nigeria it is hardly possible tht u hv not seen an Aboh man. As for Aboh gettin extinct, u shud understand tht the Aboh u probably read about from the now famous expedition is the Aboh 'Kingdom' of the early to mid 19 century, at the peak of its power which had soveriegnty over my Sister's (your wives) Kwale and all the sorrounding villages. Most of these other sorroundin communities r nw independent but stil acknowledge the historical significance of Aboh. Modern Aboh on d other hand is limited to the capital of the then Kingdom plus the immediate neighbouring communities. Today, we may not be as significant as we once were but our history is our pride. All kingdoms, once risen must fall. Unlike the Igbo nation whose rise was as a result of Western influence, we created a Kingdom with our hands and Ruled the World as far as we could reach.

Pharoh: I think people are mistaking the need to have a separate identity to mean that hostility will be in place and the concept of brotherhood or cooperation will be lost. Even with the igbo identity and brotherhood in the southeast, you still see IMO versus Anambra fighting here on nairaland. Aba state deport and sacking non indigenes, enugu and anamabra fighting to be the pride of the east and so forth, so what then is the benefit of this so called brotherhood or igbo identity?. You cannot force a dysfunctional identity or brotherhood on people who think they can do better by deciding their own future based on freewill.



You will notice that most of them have stopped posting on this thread while they keep on repeatedly viewing the thread and hoping that you will suddenly accept the igbo identity after your ongoing discussion.

they will hv to wait for a very long time. And someone here saying i should speak for myself and not for Abohs that see themselves as Igbos. Abohs tht see themselves as Igbos? Ethnicity is not lyk religion tht u just profess d creed nd get inducted, its who u r, how u r, wht u r, how u reason. People lyk Wesley(all due respect to him) r looking to consolidate by accepting bein Igbo in other to enjoy d avantage of number which on its own is a wise move. On d other hand, thr r those, yours sincerely included, who look at tins from a more realistic point of view. Any forced, un-natural, selfishly motivated union wud end up in a betrayal. Abohs r very proud to an extent very few can imagine here and will not dance to an Igbo drum. Abagworo, Tony, Pazienza and co, u must understnd i hv nothing against Igbo as a nation, but its very important you knw those tht align with u nd those tht do not. You hv not been to Aboh nd u most likely hv not met an Aboh man save for @Wesley u met on NL. Ask @wesley if a survey of wht percentage of Abohs see themselves as Igbos wht d likely result wud be nd u will be shocked. In the future, Igbos might hv to unite for an important cause and if tht future is lyk today, and the Abohs dissociate themselves from such cause like in '66, do not shout 'betrayal', do not say u were not told.

wesley80: Azuka Nde Aboh, there's a whole lot I could say concerning this issue but I'm not sure I want to go down that line, like I said I've fought this fight over a dozen times even here in this forum and some threads are replete with my arguments - on your side that is. I've argued vehemently that Aboh is no Igbo clan and neither are we Igbos. So why the change of heart you might ask? Well, I grew up!
I like you, is a proud Aboh man, rich history, proud culture and deep roots traced back to the ancient kingdom and all that, i love those stories too and my head swells each time I read the accounts of the English explorers or accounts of our local Historians, yes I can relate to all that but when do we wake up and realize we have a world to live in? When do we realize we've got to build bridges and embrace brotherhood? Dont get me wrong my Brother, if I raise this topic with my family, without a doubt they'll take your side but I know its the average Aboh man being only what their genes have taught them to be.
The average Aboh man will tell you he's not even Ukwuani let alone distant Igbo. I cant guage your age but if you grew up in the 90's and before, you'll probably know Rogana Ottah the icon of Ukwuani music, he sang a smash hit in the 80's titled "Anyi Bu Ofu" it was a huge hit as it became the rallying song for all Ukwuanis but guess what? Rogana mentioned virtually every Ukwuani community including ise's but didnt mention Aboh! It looked like a travesty but it wasnt. It wasnt an oversight but just what we deserved! The truth is we've got to learn to stop being clannish and get the full picture. I've lived in Benin and I tell you NO ONE really gives a rats ass about some obscure town in the Delta claiming Bini roots - yes thats what it has come to. History to us is merely an Academic exercise and barely holds much for the coming generation and its up to us the present generation to define how we want it to look. Of course there are those that care but lets give history its place and embrace brotherhood as defined by cultural affinity etc there's a whole lot I've got to say but I'll pause now, I greet you.

as much as i accept the bini origin of Aboh, i will neva call myself a bini man. Just thot to make tht clear
