Igbo masquerades perform all over the world. Read this news very well. Only Ajofia was stopped from coming to Lagos because of an incititing video, others will be there

Thanks. Some cultural difference then. I don't think SW egunguns perform outside their locality.

Okortor:
If not for tribalism, I don't see any big deal in nnewi masquerade coming to Lagos so long Yoruba's egungun also parade Lagos.

From the Yoruba cultural perspective, masquerades are spirit beings (ara orun). Their history and actions are rooted in the beliefs and traditions of their localities. They don't go beyond their areas even within the cities in some cases.

It will be absurd to see Ololu masquerade from Ibadan or Agemo from Ijebu parading in Lagos. Sounds very strange for an ancestral spirit. Masquerades are localised to the best of my knowledge. I've never heard of a masquerade going to another town on a visit.

Why are people so hell bent on extreme insults and tribal wars? You can disagree without insulting people.

Terrible era this is. 😓

Isn't he the one in trouble with the British authorities as I read elsewhere? 🤔

I look back and remember that Nigeria put in so much effort to bring freedom to the SA nations. We, as students then were so sympathetic to their cause and wholeheartedly welcomed them here. They got scholarships from secondary to tertiary education and a lot more.

Then came OBJs nationalisation of British companies just to put pressure on UK.

I remember a discussion we had with someone who took part in the protests then and narrowly escaped the Soweto killings. Hmmm....many stories but the summary was our resolute stance against apartheid. Yet, no appreciation. The hatred is so deep sadly.

Even in West Africa, we were our brothers keeper through ECOMOG. Our years of great glory.
May our nation rise and shine brightly again. Amen

Ringstonermasks:
nice because she is making my friends to laugh at me for not being able to call her during emergencies

Assume that your wife is not in the military and be more wary of getting into trouble like the majority who have no one to run to. If you avoid getting into bad situations, no one will have cause to laugh at you. Disciplined officers don't get involved in civil cases which is under the control of the Police and Civil Defence. Let her be focused on her primary duty of protecting our nation from external aggression.

Hope you didn't marry her so you can use her to oppress others. It's wise to teach your child to stand up to bullies or report as deemed appropriate in school or elsewhere.

Shikena:
Too many educated illiterates and simpletons in Nigeria. They just follow headlines

Honestly, it's so amazing that supposedly educated people just follow the crowd without reading well to seek knowledge.

VAT is paid by the consumer which is part of what the tax reform is trying to property establish.

PAYE is paid wherever the employees reside. Oil company staff working in Bayelsa should pay to Bayelsa while those in Lagos headquarters pay to Lagos.

Probably they're grossly overstaffed.

Maybe NNPC should look inwards for cost saving measures too. I wonder if the staff in their unproductive refineries are still earning huge salaries.

@OP
How do you plan to look after your girlfriend and your baby without a job? Do you plan to marry soon and will they join you in your parent's house?

You don't seem to have a future plan that they can see. That's why they're offering you an option which they consider reasonable. You can't depend on your parents forever. Mum is only trying to wean you off her breast. Just joking but it's time to decide on the way forward.

SirLakes:
Social media probe just like he did when he suspended prison officers during Bobrisky saga

Toothless minister

Maybe you didn't follow up. The names of the officials involved and what they did were disclosed. Bobrisky was only given privileges in prison, some of which were found to be out of order. In-house disciplinary action would have followed.

Anyway, let's be thankful for this hard working Minister. He's not perfect but he's several shades better than many others.

@OP
God bless your home more. Joy, love, peace, fruitfulness, prosperity will never depart from your home. Amazing grace and divine favor always.

Issokay, but what happens to their surviving victims who are now in IDP camps or totally frustrated and hopeless having lost all that they have to them? Let's be fair to all parties for true reconciliation and progress.

SayAsSeen:
Did she try or what?

Have you considered the fact that there'll be other expenses during the month? Plus there's no soup ingredient (pepper, meat etc) in that picture. Also yam, plantain, eggs, veggies etc. She'll still buy those, I think.

You've tried as a responsible husband but things are so expensive. Most reasonable women add their money to be able to buy more things for the home. Only foolish women will spend money that they should spend on their family on personal frivolities.

sweerychick:
Let’s review

A cartoon of indomie 9k
Kiss kids 10k x2= 20k
Detergents with soap about 8k
Half bag of rice 55k ( depending on the type)
Semolina 30k
Spaghetti 1100, ( I don’t know how many she bought)
I don’t know what’s in the gerrycan but let me assume is kerosene or oil if it’s kerosene 5litres =13k
If it’s cooking oil maybe 6k
Spices and condiments = 6k
Plus other items not captured including transport let’s estimate plus or minus 20k

Do the maths everything almost 170+k and you only gave her 180k. Guy before you judge use your hand and enter market

Good analysis. It could be vegetable oil in the keg. 5 litre keg may be about 18k ( I'm not sure of the current price).

Terrible era indeed! Glad that there's relative freedom today.

People give themselves a lot of headache over issues that shouldn't be worth their while!

Air Nigeria comes to mind... hmmm!

There are many billionnaires in the North who can singlehandedly provide all that they need. What is the responsibility of their State Government?

It seems to be a general request for funds though.

We need to focus on making governance work positively for us.

May cultism and drugs not ruin our thriving music industry. Amen.

@OP
Don't judge your dad. That's God's business.
Bless both parents as much as possible. God will surely bless you much more.

"Oh Lord my strength ....my redeemer ....let them go in peace."

....his last words before he got the stroke and his stag hands rushed him. For those not up to date ... TD Jakes was a frequent guest at P Diddy parties... Freak Offs .... at which it was confirmed by some attendees and victims that homosexuality was rampant. TD Jakes was labeled a "power bottom" ... a homosexual slang for a man who is a receiver... loves to "bite the pillow". TD never denied or admitted it ...but spoke around it. Not only was there homosexuality... but pedophilia... had sex not only with underaged teens but also with little children.... who they kept in underground cages ...and had sex with animals. They are ritualists. Celebrities are being named but none responding .... silent ... none filing lawsuits for defamation ... and many leaving the country for good ...to escape the law.
Back to TD .... his last words ....let them go in peace ...is it he is asking that the caged children go in peace? .... two who survived and escaped are now on You Tube telling it all...... Ally Carter one of them. I strongly believe the stress of the these victims giving details and naming names is getting too much for him. Even Oprah is named...and she remains silent.

Yes.... God saved him .... he's not going to depart this life without reaping what he sowed.

Wow! I didn't know that the matter is this deep. Very sad about the children especially. 😢

Hmm! I hope this is not like another Nigeria Airways scenario.

Struck out because he didn't send the Ozurumba guy to sue on his behalf.

Nothing new. It was embraced briefly during the OBJ and/or GEJ era.

We can also explore making bread from other local grains like fonio and millet.

Erimmy2:
Pls can anyone give me a mortgage bank agent's number?

Try to visit any Federal Mortgage Bank or registered private mortgage institution in your locality to avoid falling victim to fraudsters.

I hope she'll go back to school as she said in another interview. Education is not a scam afterall. Her illiteracy and ignorance/ lack of exposure affected her greatly.

Aworis are from Ile Ife. History is clear on that. Eguns are a sub group of Yorubas like some others in Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana and Sierra Leone.

He's entitled to his opinion.

Wise move! History taught us that the artefacts belonged to the palace. I wonder why Obaseki was trying to create another home for the artefacts even after FG had intervened.

I wonder why the payment of tithe is always trending for the wrong reasons. It's not compulsory to pay. It's a matter of individual faith and belief.
