Wsdm: It is their time let them enjoy.
But why is academic excellence not celebrated in Nigeria as we use to see in other issues?
Things like; local government chairmen hosting all those that graduated excellently in academic pursuit from their local government areas.
All you hear is a president with PHD hosting and giving millions to footballers or giving out grants to nollywood while totally abandoning the nation's graduates.

AtlanticBreeze: why do you take pride in brandishing your unintelligence, I guess the online source of the press statement should be inec. olodo

Decryptor: Yes the truth has finally come to light about the true nature of APC and the rogues and touts behind it! Election Monitoring team coming from South West with Pump Actions and Ballot boxes enroute Anambra state has become part of the electoral process abi! APC keeps doing things that paint them black by the day!

As for you House-wife Berem, remove your eyes from Anambra state and focus on your "corn-roasting" clueless APC-Puppet Rochas! Thanks

Carsonv: I wonder how some people think unintelligently. FYI I'm not affiliated to any political party but it's obvious when the truth is being suffocated.

If the 180 persons arrested had the intentions of distabilizing the election tomorrow, will they need only two guns? I wonder how the police expect them to share it?

The two vigilante arrested with the guns are certified security outfit in Imo, why mix up both issues?

Whoever sent the police to make those arrests definitely doesn't want well meaning Nigerians to see the evil they'll do on election day.

The police has a long standing pedigree of corruption, so does PDP.

Quote me, these people would be released FREE and without any charges after the election.

Foolish Political Nation!

atlwireles: Oyinlola, is the only person at the end of his road. The sooner he accepts this fact the better. PDP will keep moving from strength to strength.

Goldenheart: Is he Nut?

Afam4eva: Satan gives them a very heavy knock on the head On a more serious note i've always wondered that also. I used to sleep in church especially in night services and the sleep is usually the strongest and sometimes, i would wish that a bed be presented to me at that spot. The funny thing is that i always pray that the service comes to an end as soon as possible and when the service eventually comes to an end, the sleep disappears.

manchy7531: I would rather sell marijuana than be a terrorist

ebamma: indians will not just do this for nothing sake, i bet many nigerians based in goa, might be involved in many vices that take place there

rudedough: [size=14pt][center]WHY IGBOS ARE EASILY ATTRACTED TO CRIME[/center][/size]

[b]An average Igbo man is brought up to be aware of his responsibilities. He is expected to adopt a ‘take charge’ attitude to life and so from childhood he learns as a boy to go out and take risks, get in fights, know his territories, protect it and every other person on it.

Every Igbo man needs no foreign interpretation to know that money is a must have to be recognized in your kindred. The more reason why at a very tender age, some unfortunate parents send their child out to their brother in-law in Lagos to learn trade. Reason not because they don't like their child, but because they want him to have a better life and be respected/recognized in his society.

Our culture does not tolerate poverty. In the eyes of our elders, poverty is seen as a sign of weakness or laziness. This misconception has driven our men to become extremists. Our elders/fathers also do not help matters at all, they like to compete among themselves, not in their child’s intellectual or academic qualifications but over whose child is the richest or drive the most expensive car or built the most luxurious house in the village.These classification based on how much wealth you have acquired has successfully driven gullible youths into undertaking extreme crimes like this one.

Every December, during annual village meeting, when Igbo youths gather in the village from various parts of the world, the talk of who brought back the best cars and who has built the most luxurious house in the village becomes the order of the day. Even some not-yet-wealthy youths travel all the way to the village just to see for themselves what their peers have achieved. This experience psychologically further drive their extremism to greater height.

In this village meeting, poor men (no matter what your academic qualifications are) are made to sit at the back, while "real men" (educated or not) give speech. And when an educated man tries to convey a message, they hurl all kinds of insult at him like "Sit down there, are we discussing grammar here? Is certificate the name of a currency". My Igbo brothers can testify to this.

Now comes when an Igbo man needs to take a wife, the process and money involved can cripple a multi-national company if care is not taken to recuperate the losses within a certain period of time. Most of my tribesmen never made it back to their feet after their marriage. The truth is, the bride's parents (Most of them) do not care about how their daughter lives with her husband after their marriage. And when they start having kids, the problem escalates and it cripples the business totally, leaving most men to start all over again. Most of our men blame their predicament on some mysterious witchcraft or wizard in the village and the pressure is passed unto one child to another, so the virtuous circle continues.

I don't want to get start-ish on the burial rights. These old men don't care if you are financially stable or not, their brother is dead and he must be buried ASAP. The burial is not the problem here, but having to deal with all sorts of committee telling you their individual rights. One group may demand for 1 cow, 10 tubers of yam, drinks and all sorts of items, another group may ask for something else, believe me, these groups are almost endless. Most Igbo men become indebted after losing their parent, and they sometimes never recover from that financial crisis.

If only my tribesmen could be educated on the danger our tradition possess, we would work to abolish those wrecking customs of ours. I can go on and on and on but maybe my tribesmen could shed some light to what i just said. I am only a youth in my early 20s, maybe i don't know anything, or maybe I’m being too emotional. I'll appreciate if someone old enough would enlighten me on our core customs and traditional values.

Igbos are good people, I won’t blame our youths for the crimes they choose to undertake; I’ll blame our elders for putting those stipe traditions upon their children.[/b]

RealSleek: Reminds me of the "Get rich or die trying " slogan...he looked ... His facial expression in d pix moved me to pity , I wonder what he is thinking at that moment
Maybe he is thinking " god na me be dis?"

gbanikiti: That man no get sense o! He's been dreaming of becoming a Jeep owner without thinking of having his own house. He needs to be given 20 strokes of bulala. Anu ofia!

omenka: She can be pictured in Taj Mahal for all we care.

Even perjury is now on the plate. She said BPE was present during the bidding, a claim BPE denied!

Emzybrown: That should be a form of mental slavery, we meant to believe that anything black is evil....

vislabraye: A guy that thinks this way surely has a compleX. I don't think there's any man here who will choose an ugly girl over a pretty girl.
Being so possessive and jealous doesn't help @ all. It will only give her an upper hand. What if she says she's no longer interested. Will U kill urself.

25Calibre: Lol These things are funny because I don't think there's any guy who wouldn't want his girl to be admired by others. I want other people to admire & covet what I've got, it makes me happy.

What would be would be, no need to stress too much over trivial things, apart from your family, do not get too attached to something/somebody you aren't willing to lose.

Life's too short to stress over one girl.

Class captain1: Stella Stella.......this night go hot for u and uncle shoeless......

Prof Corruption: This is a classic example of impunity.

GEJ queried a minister over allegations of wrong doing and set up a three-man committee to probe her. Rather than suspending the minister to prevent her not only from interfering with the work of the committee but also from destroying evidence , what do we have?
GEJ (the man who issued the query), Oduah ( the one under investigation) and Dansuki (a prominent member of the committee) are all together in Israel on official assignment. Possibly on same table for dinner, discussing the incredible gullibility of Nigerians? Laughing at parliamentarians blowing hot grammar on how the procurement did not follow due process?

GEJ has just told Nigerians, in an unmistakable language, to go to hell.

obinoral: Does it change the price of garri in the market?

PointB: May God punish 1000 folds the offspring of those who fought war to keep different religions and ethnicities in one country against their will. IJN Amen.
