bigfrancis21: RedboneSmith:Bosah is the short form of Beluolisa my side of Anambra,I.e Nnewi. Same way we name Okwuosah and Akosah,short for Okwuolisa and Akaolisa @RedboneSmith,you really haven't met much Igbo east side of the Niger. Stop thinking Onitsha as epitomizing Eastern Igbo 5 Likes |

NtoAkwaIbom:The Southeast had 60% turnout?. Dude what have you been smoking? I get you have to post something for your pay,but try making sense while you do it. Anambra had 2.3million registered voters,less than 330,000 voted. Enugu had 1.8million registered, 700,000 voted. Imo was 1.9,less than 800,000 voted. Kano had slightly above 2.3million registered and 2million voted,equalling 40% to you of course. Little wonder your principal made the 97% v 5% comment,maths and percentages aren't your strong suit.

Religion / Re: Pope Francis Proposes Change To The Wording Of The “our Father” by Dhugal: 5:17pm On Dec 10, 2017 |
In Igbo,that part reads "ekwena k'anyi kwe nye na nlanye/onwunwa", meaning do not let us fall into temptation. The Pope just want to bring out it's full meaning,in a literal sense,in both the Italian and English languages |

Yuji:Tithe is not a doctrine of the Catholic church.Where did you get that from?. That some young priests suddenly started copying their Pentecostal fellows did not a doctrine make it.And mind you,even they do not make it a compulsion nor add subtle threats to it like some Pentecostal pastors do. Lastly,some bishops are already cracking down on the practice before it spreads,especially in the East. 1 Like |

Jaideyone:Oga Omo 'badan,that area is not Dugbe,haba. They're mostly Oke Bola segueing into G.Allen,then railways.Oba Adebimpe road,where CBN,Union,Radio Nigeria,former TIB,Sketch and former Co-Operative bank buildings are found,is not Dugbe.Dugbe is not modern.Some of the old buildings may have given way,but its not yet modern by any stretch. Don't argue this,I grew up in Oke Bola,Onajide street.The hill directly facing Broking house,in case you need help with Google As for the old parts of Ibadan,they constitutes more than half the city despite modernization. No need to lie just to win a dick-measuring contest. |

When did it become the job of the SSS,an intelligence agency,to provide protection for a fugitive who's life is under 'threat'?. Isn't that the job of the police and the prison service?. A whole AGF meeting with a known fugitive from the law?. These guys are bastards 28 Likes 1 Share |

Threebear:18th century UK wasn't medieval, and yes,George III was stubborn and mad enough to do whatever he wanted,society be dammed. The British royal family hasn't denied that story since it first broke till this day,BTW All European royal families had marriage connections with the Kingdom of Castile,and later the Kingdom of Denmark.Portugal is a spinoff from Leon-Castile,and had blacks,one of whom became Alfonso's mistress,giving him 3 children, one of whom was Charlotte's ancestor. But you're right,the pedigree of any offspring of Harry and Megan will be set in stone for generations to come.Thanks to 21st century technology. 1 Like |

Threebear:Martin de Alfonso's pedigree,coupled with the de Sousa lineage are not up for debate.Queen Charlotte descended directly from both lines.She was mixed race.Even her portraits, especially by Sir Alan Ramsay,clearly show that.That George loved her and had 15 royal children by her,never changed her ancestry. A check of the Mecklenburg-Strelitz line should clear your doubt. 1 Like |

kcmichael:Your foolishness has APC writ all over it. Total number of votes cast that day won't be up to 600,000. The election boycott is real and only the candidate with a good GOTV operation and dedicated supporters will win,but its going to be close. @OP,nice analysis. PDP may spring a surprise on many yet.Especially, from the Anambra South/Central Senatorial districts.Anambra North is going to be shared by the 3parties,with PDP having an edge in Ogbaru and Onitsha South areas. 4 Likes |
Travel / Re: Work On Anambra International Airport City Project Enters Second Stage by Dhugal: 3:43pm On Nov 14, 2017 |
All these campaign shills sef. There is no airport anything going on in Anambra state. For the guy who said Nnewi to Onitsha takes 30mins,you must be high on sugar. And yes,the Oba airport remains the ideal location to build one in Anambra state. The election coming Saturday won't be easy.I'm not going to make any statewide prediction, but as for Nnewi where I am and voting,Willie should forget it.He may win 2 wards in Uruagu and maybe one in Nnewichi,but that's all he may hope to win this side.Nnewi is really out for blood,Ifeanyi Ubah or not |

proudlyYoruba:Okay. I'm not putting all these out just to spite his name. Nigerians need to start holding their leaders, at any level, accountable for their deeds and not glorify or deify them.It's that ignorance-fueled glorification that made Lalasticala put up this thread in the first place. Murtala's glorification was started by Obasanjo, who needed to pacify the Northern military establishment in order to maintain hold on power. Alas, that action took a life of its own and many young Nigerians now don't know Murtala Mohammed for the bloodthirsty murderer and failure that he is.The accounts need to be set straight 1 Like |

proudlyYoruba:It was his command, and he was in town. Enough of hiding behind one finger, please. Don't forget the trail of massacres,through Ikaland,leading up to Asaba.Or he was not aware of those ones too? Lest I forget, giving the order to execute prisoners of war, as he definitely did, constitute war crime under the ICC statutes and the Geneva Convention. Your Nigerian hero was a criminal and karma served him justly. |

hucienda:Is it just the Asaba Massacre? What about the July 29 Mutiny and the Genocide it unveiled?. On the professional side, what about the Abagana roasting and the waste of young lives on Onitsha river crossing, due to his ineptness and incompetence as a commander? What about destroying the once-glorious civil service administration he met and bequeathing Nigeria with the mess of a civil service we have today?.You guys cry about the civil service being corrupt and inefficient, yet you don't know that's a legacy of Murtala Mohammed. Not to mention destroying working systems of local government administration and bringing about this failed unified system that serves nobody. May history judge him most harshly. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Legally, DSS doesn't exist. What is known in law and the constitution is the State Security Service, SSS. To amend the NSA Act, in order to change the name to DSS,requires constitutional amendment,so they just did it anyway, hoping Nigerians, as usual,wont notice or call them to right. 2 Likes |
