Spy360:

Almost all the ethnic groups in the SE Nigeria are Igbos. The thing is that, Igbo is a very general identity with numerous variants. Before the civil war, most of those communities consider themselves Igbo. It was the Nigerian government in the bid to weaken the people and use the divide and rule tactics broke the Igbo people apart and made some deny their heritage for a morsel of bread.

I am Owerri for example. My dialect is almost the same as Ikwerre. I cannot understand a man from Enugu or Abakiliki. But Enugu is Igbo and Ikwerre think they are not.

The Igbo cultural set cuts across Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta, Benue, Edo, Kogi etc .

I thought of a long rebuttal but then I thought what's the point of it when you lack basic understanding of geolocation to know the difference between South East and the South South where Akwa Ibom is located, or you are being mischievous.

You lots just like to force yourself on others even when you have been resoundingly told they have no ties to you. This argument was had just last December on this thread with Okpa and all doubts cleared. When you do this then appropriate other people's cultures.

We aren't interested and have no tribal ties to you. Why can't you get this and be on your way? Why force kinship with those who don't want it?

Remember clearly you started this so when and if it goes south, we know those who would gaslight and play the victim card on this thread.

A001:
Jordan Williams is a lexicographer doing a great job reviving the Nsibidi writing system of the Igbos.

This project is quite impressive and laudable. I wonder if Yoruba people also had a similar writing system developed by the ancestors in the past eras as claimed by Otem.

If more people in Yorubaland and Igboland in the past had shown interest in these indigenous writing systems, they might still commonly be in use today instead of the Latin characters that are utilized as the standard characters in Yoruba and Igbo languages in modern times.

Kudos to Jordan for reviving this fascinating indigenous knowledge (writing) system. We need more of such projects in Africa, especially West Africa.

You are wrong. Do your research.

The Nsibidi writing system is of the Ibibio people. Until about a century ago, only the Ekpe cult of the Ibibios knew how to write and transcribe it. Till date, only Ekpe cult members can fully transcribe the Nsibide form of writing which is a tiny bit similar to Hieroglyphs.

Stop appropriating our history to others.
Just like the 1929 Women Riot is wrongly appropriated even though it happened at Ikot Abasi LGA, Akwa Ibom State.

Nsibidi has nothing to do with the Igbos. Strictly Ibibio. In crude Ibibio, Nsibidi means "spirit talk", or like Christians say " Speaking in tongues".

malcom1X:
Bro this guy is not lying.
Calabar guys have high libido.
Maybe there's something that they take that we need to know or maybe staying close to the river you gast to keep warm at all times

I am an Ibibio man, and he's 100% right. You'd never hear women shame an Akwa-Cross man for being a "two-minute man". Never has happened, and never will. Instead the complain we are sex manaics.

Our high libido is almost genetic.

If yoy are a man from other tribes and you marry a girl with Akwa-Cross exes, I'm sorry but she's comparing your sexual performances to ours.

joseph1832:
OH well, I guess my genre says alot about who I am also, a devil worshipper is what most call me, because I listen to Rock. Lol.

Rock puts one in that introspective mood too and the rhythm is better than all these Shalli-whatever and hairbrained Odumodu songs people listen to these days.

There's Soft Rock, Hard Rock, and Mid-tempo Rock.

Great!

But Nigeria stopped enforcing hers for years. You have a lot of effeminate cross-dressers and deviants openly declaring their sexual deviancy yet the government looks the other way.

Tinubu who is keen of tightening and increasing partnerships with the West is looking the other way. Everyday blogs are filled with Nigerian crossdressers openly saying the are dating men and enhancing body parts too look female and the police isn't arresting them.

I had to quit watching some of Funke Akindele's movies and series - the most recent being "She Must Be Obeyed" since it had male crossdressers and deviants being celebrated on it.

Silly skitmakers even feature mad deviants like Bob-whatever and James-whatever.

I hope Ghana does a better job at it.

People who want to listen to only feel good fast-paced songs, I have discovered in my experience, are not deep and mostly happy-go-lucky.

If you listen to introspective songs like Sia, Passenger, Jon Bellion and the likes, it tells about who you are. During the talking stage with any female, I sort of gauge their level of introspectiveness with her music tastes, and I've never been wrong about them.

Introspective people - ambiverts mostly - ruminate on their actions, conversations they have had, and are more likely to make amends than all these fast-paced songs females who crrave the spotlight and want to drown their thoughts.

No, if you are at peace with yourself, listening to R&B songs, and a medley of alternative music and jazz wouldn't make you depressed. I listen to these all day for hours on end while working and I have never felt depressed.

Whalis:

Shut your putrid mouth. Ikwerres have never agitated for anyone to be sacked as Nddc Chairman including Akpabio. If Wike stood against him it is a personal issue.
Don't make us declare you as anti-ikwerre people as most of your comments are skewed anti-ikwerres.

Effeminate bástard trying to come off as tough. Go cry and blow your nose with the wrapper of the unfortunate woman who got hitch to you while she sings lullabies for you to sleep.

Worthless low-lowel queer nîtwit. Below is you post crying.

Whalis:
I don't just want to see anyone crying. Whenever I see people cry I wouldn't know when tears would start to roll down from my eyes. This is disturbing. Even when I am relating to sad past event that I sobbed I would start all over again.

This morning I was watching the penalty kicks of Nigeria Vs South Africa game where I saw Aina crying when he lost the penalty I started shedding tears in solidarity with him.
Can I be helped? I am a man. I don't discuss certain things with my wife because I may collapse under emotion.
Is this natural?

Dilimi:
I see no reason agitating for the sack of a man that is also from Niger Delta. Abi is delta state not part of Niger Delta too. Say no to tribalism. Ebie has come to stay.

Interestingly, when an Ibibio man Nsima Ekere was made NDDC Chairman in 2016 and served till August 2018 when he resigned to contest the governorship election, the Ijaws led smear campaigns to have him removed but Buhari stood firm.

When Akpabio was made Niger Delta Minister, the Ikwerres and some other minorities (the Ibibios and Ijaws are the only majorities in the South South) through Wike led campaigns for him to be sacked. He wasn't. Oddly, he and Wike are buddies on the same boat now.

Nigerians are clannish. It's why most never complain of illegalities as long as their people head such bodies or geopolitical areas.

Turns out he's a child causing mischief and spreading falsehood about Akwa Ibom.

Ebi2233, you would get what you seek soon enough. An example must be made of you. Let's see how well you can hide. I have forwarded this to the appropriate quarters.

Stop this ur rubbish ijaw this ijaw that with your different monikers... Its getting boring..



You are not more populated than Edo, Tiv and Ibibio but can't see them making noise online...

Many people started hearing about Ijaw since the days of Jonathan...

Stop this nonsense and give yourself break..

You are not the only minority that has produced a head of state..

Gowon, Tafa Belewa are from minority tribes...

Stop this madness....

I will post the actual statistics of independent CIA population of Nigerian ethnic groups in Nigeria..


After posting that you can continue allocating population figure to yourself online like you have always done, it won't change the reality on ground or offline

Hello. Can you please list some of his monikers?

That's Ebi2233's other monikers.

Ebi2233:

Oron are Obolo people, Obolo are Ijaw people.

Don't worry. You want to cause division in Akwa Ibom, right? You want to cause ethnic tension?

The state government has responded last night. I informed those in the corridors of power before that.

I've seen your threads. You are a Bayelsa Ijaw focused on causing rift in Akwa Ibom. We'd get you soon. Quote this post as evidence. We'd get to you soon and it would be legally.

The Ibibio Union would make a press statement soon. You'd realize Akwa Ibom are no people to troll with. This I promise you on everything sacred.

DissTroy:
Seun and Mynd44, do you both verify information before putting it out there?

This information is false. There are no Ijaw LGAs in Akwa Ibom to begin with. Only 2 with Ijaw history - Ibeno and Eastern Obolo who have al but wiped it.

As an addition, I just dug up the OP's comments from almost a year ago;

Ebi2233:
I discover say she will not block me so i keep telling her every now and then say she should block me, for i had strongly believed she would never do it. She then said i always say this thing to her say she will try and do it since i have more important people and i do not value her so i keep telling her that..
She blocked me. I instantly called her phone number to go and release me back on WhatsApp and Facebook and she went and do it... What do you think about this kind of lady... How do you think she see me..
She is Ijaw like me.. I am from Bayelsa Ijaw, She is Rivers Ijaw. Kalabari. We have known each other for many years.

He's an Ijaw from Bayelsa which shares no boundary with Akwa Ibom, and his other posts suggests he doesn't live in Akwa Ibom.

His threads on Nairaland suggests he goes about appropriating parts of other states to Ijaws illusionary.

Just putting it out there before anyone runs with a false narrative.

Seun and Mynd44, you pushed unverified information to Nairaland frontpage. You let a known troll use your frontpage for baseless propaganda.

Do you need the Akwa Ibom State Government or Ibibio Union official reply before you take this down? Or until Nairaland is sued?

LOL. The OP is a clown. I lost interest in reading after the second paragraph where listed 7 Ijaw LGAs in Akwa Ibom.

There's no Ijaw LGA in Akwa Ibom. Akwa Ibom has 31 LGAs and only 2 (Ibeno and Eastern Obolo) were Ijaw fishermen who settled and have mixed with the Ibibio population.
Ibime and I had the discussion on this thread in December where I explained in detail with links too.



Here's the true situation of things:

All 12 major oil-producibg LGAs (including mine) of Akwa Ibom State have been protesting non-implementation of oil and gas producing act of the PIB which ensured special provisions for these areas, including payments and special projects. And are seeking a special development commission.

The protests started since on Friday. No casualty.

And the distance from Uyo to the scene of the protests is more like Ikorodu or Ikeja to Mowe.
Ikoyi to Iloye. Far removed and all. Uyo is the center of the state.

Munachi Abi
P-square featured her in one of their song(Roof on fire) in their 2010/2011 album.
That's the last time, I listen to her rap.

She murdered Bez's "Supersun Remix" in 2011 which also featured Ice Prince and El Dee.

She was ice-cold in Banky W's "Lagos Party Remix" in late 2010 or early 2011. Held her own well against Naeto C and El Dee on it.

Those were her best works yet.

joseph1832:
You don't work for any organization, you're your own man. Now, that's the big difference.

Valid point. Though some of those incidents happened when I was working full-time for organisations.

Trolls would always be trolls regardless. If you are very opinionated on topical issues on Twitter/X, you're a target of vicious attacks too and vile unfounded smear campaigns.

If you doubt me, begin stirring Feminist Coalition's hornet nest, for example, if you won't get a rápe allegation soon enough from an account with 19 followers which would jump to 10,000 within 24 hours of accusing you.

Same on Facebook.

Trolls would get you anywhere, and you are more likely a target if you are visibility and strongly opinionated, whether on Nairaland, Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.

joseph1832:
alot bro, alot. Your pictures can be used against you.

All it takes is for someone to edit it and use it to brand you an armed robbery, rapist, fraudster or what have you, and post it all across Nairaland Frontpage. You know the mods and the owner care too much about traffic for them to bother themselves...

This was done to FT and some other people I can't remember. Business should be separated from pleasure.

I've come online to see my obituary threads trending on this forum twice in 2015. Before they were deleted by a moderator.

I've been tagged to posts where someone used my details to post something demeaning on this forum in 2016. Actually, the someone was the now-disgraced DarkRebel.

I've come online to my then office address and brand paraphernalia posted on this thread less than a year ago.

None of these antics have hurt me or what I do for a living since I can defend my persona here anywhere.

Maybe nothing fazes me anymore. There are Photoshopped X screenshots of Peruzzi claiming he dated and impregnated Chioma, Davido's wife, but he's still on X.

Devious trolls would always be devious, but it's up to you to stay in the shadows or step into the light with little care for what they might do. Take the power away from them is what I believe in.

But I do it mostly from a branding perspective.

joseph1832:
actually the easiest way to be found when someone wants to troll you, you know.

My usernames are the same across the social media platforms I am active on, with my full names too. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram...

I'm not living double or multiple lives, and maintain the same stances on issues across all platforms and physically in person, so what's there to worry about or hide?

Unlimited22, good one.

As a suggestion, you should unify your social media usernames so they are the same across.

Helps for publicity, getting found easily, and when you get your digital profile cards designed.

Something like:
Facebook, X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Telegram logos: @Disstroyer .

Blackface sang" Erima" but did not released it that year. psquare released "Do me" off Game over album and it went viral. Later, Blackface released Erinma.
Back then, story from the street was that the producer sold Blackface Unreleased song beat to P-square, some said that it was Blackface that actually sold the beat to psquare.
Surprisingly, years later Blackface called P-square out for stealing his song beat(unreleased by the time "Do me" was released).

Do you remember?

Every hit song in Nigeria was stolen from Blackface, according to Blackface Reporters.

Let's get this straight: A designer brainstorms on a product idea with a UI/UX design. He draws up a wireframe of it. You heard about it but backed away from it.
And since it's just a rough work, I build on the same design, build the actual product, do product-market-fit, onboard users, scale it, win awards with it, then when you see I've succeeded with it and built loyalists around it, you build a similar product, same design and everything then change the name and tagline, but I am the thief?

Absurd, right? That's exactly how Blackface's claims come across. He'd have been the one paying for damages if PMAN actually functioned.

odizeey:


Blackface was not an Ajegunle musician, this man. Marvelous you are talking about sef was signed to Kennis.

The Ajegunle music you are making out to be bad was even hotter than most mainstream guys back then. They just didn't have the right structure.

Blackface was a star, of course. Ajegunle music was good too, but nothing close to the finesse and class the likes of PSquare, 2Face, Faze, and the main boys brought on.

Drop hit for hits between Ghetto Child and Faze alone.

Duncan Mighty had more hits in his first album than both combined but he was a regional artiste, sadly. All his songs are evergreen and still strike hard.

Crossing over was what defined stars. Faze did it, with airplays on pan-African TV stations. Blackface didn't.

What do you mean by soundcity worthy?

No be money them dey use put music for those platforms?

No be money them dey use do video? Blackface was an independent guy which was his downfall. He won be oga.

But for that first solo album o, Blackface floor Faze by a mile.

If you'd put it this way, we could say Original Stereoman and Danfo Drivers floored Blackface and Faze too. Floored a lot of artistes for that 2003 - 2005 stretch.

But they were still Ajegunle-styled artistes without that embracing finesse which PSquare, 2Face, and even Faze had - finesse which translated to transnational acceptability. This was what set them apart.

sageb:


Blackface sang "Erema" in 2006 whereas Psquare sang"Do me" in 2007(Game over album).
So its Psquare that took Blackface song beat and rhythm not the otherway round.

Let's assume time might have made the chronology of the releases a little hazy, so where's proof Erinma was in 2006?

odizeey:

You don't know what you are saying.

LOL. Blackface was not even Soundcity-worthy, not to mention MTV Base and Channel O which Faze was a regular on post-split.

Blackface's music videos were always those Ajegunle-themed ones, with towels and rough-looking guys of the Galala and Suo set. Not different from Marvelous Benji.
African China hit too but he was still an Ajegunle, Ghetto brand artsite.

Faze was on a higher level. Had almost the class and finesse to his songs and music videos like 2Face. Go watch their music videos from that era to compare and contrast.

Comparing post-split BlackFace to Faze is disrespect.

BlueRayDick:


Come to think of it that there was a time Christian ladies were forbidden to wear trousers not only in church but even in public . Now the children of those people who did the forbidding are the ones who run churches where women wear trousers in church , guys pierce their ears and weave their hairs and some men even go to same church with pierced nose

Times have changed truly

Winners and Christ Embassy were already putting on trousers as far back as I can remember, but that particular church wasn't having any of it. Knee-length skirts too were enforced.

Hairs must be covered for women, no weavons or wigs, but braids with 'attachments' for hair extensions could be overlooked. No dyed hair, of course. Piercings on men were a no-no, dreads were forbidden, and women had just the one-piercing-per-ear-lobe kind.

I think that religious indoctrination sort of grew with most of us, no matter how irreligious or liberal we claim to be now. I still haven't been able to rationalize multiple piercings, tattoos, nose rings, and extravagantly dyed hair and unconventional hairstyles.

Funny how the same church which suspended the girl then for putting on trousers which didn't even objectify her now condones choir members attending choir practice in trousers and with wigs on.

I'd share my trajectory so maybe you can sieve something from it.

- I was a writer to begin with, even back in school.
- Later on, I did web content writing and publishing and this naturally meant I had to understand the basics of SEO.
- I went on to learn web development and design.
- Naturally I had to design banners and the likes for web content so I learnt graphic design.
- Since I had a background in graphic design and wanted to build modern, functional, and beautiful websites, I naturally learnt UI/UX.

So, Copywriting, Web Development, Graphic Design, UI/UX.

Over the years, I had to draw up documents and all of the necessary business writing so I took such courses and now I develop brand pitch decks and brand analytics. That's two more skills added.

Coywriting, Web Development, Graphic Design, UI/UX, Brand Analytics and Presentation... The necessary skills needed to take a brand from zero to one. And because I have these skills, I'm on-track as a Product Manager or Digital Project Manager.

All these skills are interrelated so I offer full digital brand development and management packages with these individual services fused into the packages. And this is what I have been doing - an ecosystem of necessary and related services.

Now even for bootstrapped products I build, since I am skilled in these areas, I can develop a product from ideation to MVP stage then scale further even as a one-man team, or with a team.

-----

Learn UI/UX to so you can conceptualize ideas and design them before coding..Then learn SEO so the websites and web apps you build are easily indexed on the internet.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
I'm seeing the pictures of two ladies there. The dark and light skin one. Which of them is Mrs Nigeria again

As a general rule, until you see a Nigerian female's unedited pictures, don't run with the idea of her being beautiful.

And I'm yet to see darkskinned Nigerian woman who don't use heavy filters to make themselves lightskin. They all claim "black and proud" but want to look light skin. Just like darkskinned men love to hate on lightskin men, including on Nairaland. Envy and yearning.

If you intend on getting intimate with any of such females, video-call them on WhatsApp where there is no filter.

I hope the owners cut off the Transmission Company of Nigeria to transmit directly.

The TCN's facilities are old so can't take up all the generated electricity.

Ibom Power generates 130MW of electricity but TCN can take up only 32MW so the Ibom Power has to transmit the rest itself while the rest goes to waste even though it can generate enough power to power Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers, and most of Rivers. But the power supply in Akwa Ibom is good regardless.

Congratulations to Abia. 9 LGAs is a good start.

Other states must sit up. FG can't do it all.

BlueRayDick:


Maybe Tetuila was not untalented , but he was the less talented amongst the 3 of them while their union lasted .

Tony! I'm trying to remember the title of the song he did where Princess was a Mama Put owner and had video vixens in yellow t-shirts and blue trousers dancing in a line. He wasn't touching any of them. I don't know if you can remember the title.

That music video caused trouble. Turns out my class teacher's first daughter was the lead video vixen in the music video and she got suspended from church for it. It was forbidden to wear trousers then in our church. Crazy times.

odizeey:

Black dey sing o. No play.

Dancehall, Reggae, Rap, vocals. He dey.

Blackface's biggest song post-split was a remix of P-Square's "Do Me' called " Erimma".

Before that, it was some ragga-styled song called "Hard Life" in the category of the Marvelous Benjis. His music was Ajegunle-themed. Ghetto-themed.

Faze had his music on MTV Base, Nigezee, and the likes, and did shows outside the country.. He was bigger and more successful post-split. Only paled when compared to 2Face the colossus. But then 2Face was bigger than everyone.

iamoyindamola:

But that’s the truth
Btw he was favorite in the group but when they dissolved he was irrelevant

Faze had a good run when Plantashun Boiz split; from 2004 to 2007 to 2009.

Brother? Tattoo Girls? Originality? Which? All nationwide bangers. Chibuzor was too good.

Till date the only Nigerian male artistes who can sing the highest notes are in this order:

1. Wande Coal
2. Faze
3. Chuddy K

No Nigerian male artiste can lace their boots when it comes to unfiltered notes.

If Faze had come up post-2007 with the backing of a good record label, he'd still be in the game till date.

The truth? I actually do not enjoy what I did to you yesterday and today. You and I have been cool for years and never gone against each other. I take no delight in it since there's no motivation from simmering angst between us.

You took the bait of LiveLongnProspa yesterday whose job here is to cause rancour needlessly and make people go against each other. You should have seen his antics for what it is to ignore like Izu advised in retrospect. Same thing he tried to cause between BlueRay and myself out of the blues same day.

But you thought it was one of those times when you'd gang up in your anti-Akwa Ibom unrelated slurfest while I restrain myself from using certain words like other times over the momths. Now you know I can go just as low too, or lower when I want to.
