May the young man's soul rest in peace.

But what does 'loses ...to DEATH' mean, abeg? What else do you lose a human life to if not death? Nairaland and dem English worry sha.

Interesting how no Igbo Man ever makes the Forbes list.






Anyone care to explain why?

Simply because Forbes magazine does not know everything.

Maybe she's enjoying things she never before thought possible and maybe back home all she would have is a dysfunctional family with a violent father. I lived that life. Everyone in the household of failed parents would want to run away given half a chance of survival elsewhere. Such a child can't be bothered with ideology or the future; only the present matters

If you have listened to her elder siblings on TV talk about her and about their household since this thing broke, do you think they look like kids from a dysfunctional family? Or are you simply trying to project your own admitted dysfunctional family experience on her family to justify an atrocity committed by a pedophile against her and her family?

Unless they declare Oduduwa Republic and seal their boundary,the Fulani herdsmen menace in their land won't stop even in the next 1000 years.Samething applies to the east.

If you are waiting for Buhari to order his brothers to stop,you are wasting your time.Buhari have never made any comment about the activities the herdsmen before.

Actually, Bubu had made comments about his brothers before. Ask former Oyo governor Lam Adesina.

@Op: ARM is real. Opened account with then during my Nysc program and it was 13% then. They also have a pension fund section. They have 3 investment portfolios you can choose from. At the moment it's less than 11% maybe effect of the economy situation. It's on their website, you will have will get an online banking user name and pass to monitor your account and make withdrawals anytime and get funded 1-3 business days.

I will advisse you to forget ARM. It's mainly a mutual funds company. Their promises are always far more appealing that what they deliver. I have been an investor in their Discovery Funds for more than 10 years now. I invested with ARM was still a subsidiary of GTBank which, in my opinion, was their golden age of ARM in terms of transparency and returns on investment. All I can tell you is that if I had invested the money I put into the Discovery Fund in 2003 into GTBank shares back then I would have been better served in terms of return on investment (by whichever angle you want to calculate it) by far. I advise too you to run from ARM. They live on hype and seductive adertiseing only. Apparently, the only beneficiaries of your investments with them are the fund managers alone.

As usual, a thief is celebrated in Igboland. So unfortunate.

The way robbers like the Lamb of Bourdillion are celebrated elsewhere, abi?

Anybody wey Naija police dey provide security to is as good as insecure. This one dem go hear knockout go off and dem go run pass person wey mad man dey pursue.

Tompolo should has his own fellow thugs protecting him. Those one better pass police anyday.

Some people no go see this aspect of the report o: "The sources also revealed that truly, the company had defaulted in some of the promises made..."

No be today that wuruwuru Glo don dey default on promises made to their customers and clients. I am a Glo subscriber and if I begin vent my anger on them Peter sef go be like angel. Nansense!!!

Another doubting Thomas. Siddon there dey wait to be shown the nail marks in Innoson's palms while other disciples with more faith are busy reaping the rewards of their absolute faith in the man. Ye man of little faith.

tomdon:
until u tell me what parts were manufactured in Nigeria or whether the designs were done in Nigeria through research, I will call them refurbished cars, because, they were only assembled in Nigeria, not manufactured in Nigeria.
this action will provide only a very few skilled jobs
lmporting the parts would still strain our currency

all raw materials for making a car exists in Nigeria, but tell me which parts were made with local raw materials

NB. please don't get me wrong, I'm not hating, I think Igbo people are very wonderful people, the most technologically ingenious race in Nigeria, I had this exact disco about aba folks with a friend only yesterday night, I think government has not lived up to its responsibility in terms of support. with little incentive from government, many great inventions will be developed there.
I'm only saying we should be weary of mediocrity by way of calling an assembly plant a manufacturing plant

phantom:
He is neither Igbo nor Yoruba otherwise this thread for don reach 100pages.....lol.

Good for him. Now, let him go and compete with other Igbo and Yoruba first class engineering degree holders for NUC's PRESSID tests, let's see how he fares. Hopefully, his people will not, after the test, be wailing how the result did not federal character. A gem does not need much burnishing to shine forth.

Opoki:
You've said this over time and over time we've corrected you!

In war, there is always a victim that's why it's called war!

Blame Ojukwu for not crossing his T's and dotting his i's, if he had won.

He who casually and unfeelingly justifies evil and atrocity against others will have both visiting him and his family sooner than later.

Taking care of kids does not mean merely throwing money at them for their needs. Tell me how a man who has 10 kids will share really quality time with each one of them. Not to mention a man who has four wives and 30 kids. You think Aliko Dangote who has just four kids is a fool though he could marry a thousand wives and "take care" of tens of thousands of kids? The point is that a culture that breeds kids like rabbits without any plans for the parents to emotionally connect with them will never stop being dysfunctional.

chinchum:
There is nor much of a problem if an individual of Tambuwals status has 100 kids, i guess he can afford to take good care of them, but the real headache is the extremely poor ones who breed like pigs and turn those heritage of God to Almajiris.

I have a feeling Boko Haram will not die completely, until the Core North fully embrace modern education, and ban completely kids of school age roaming around the street , with a commission established to strictly enforce it.

Is D'banj really talented? Or is he just a showman who has been masking his real lack of talent with razzmatazz?

If he was really gifted, how come he struggles now that his Mo'Hits support base is no longer there to cover up his blushes?

Demmocrats:
Don Jazzy well is clear that you are favoured by the almighty.


How can a fat non sexy dude be making money in music industry were sexy bodies are the norm with top musicians.


How can you with crack voice be making hit by hit when dudes with sweet voice are making back page.


How can a major label loose there top and well talented musicians like dbanj and co and still didn't go down


Don jazzy its all the hand work of God and be thankful for what hr has done in your life and the lives of people around you because he used you as a light to lift so many in your family and people around you.

Wrong. That's a photo of ofada rice.

Next will be that Nwakali brothers will also blow. I just keep wondering why these Igbo boys are this blessed. Everything they touch turns to gold.

dustmalik:
There is a rule on Nairaland that clearly state that, a Nairalander shouldn't spread false information. Now, there is no evidence that Tolu Ogunlesi sponsored that article or even made contributions to it. Just because Mr. AyeDee says he did, doesn't make it true.

Seun, Mynd44, lalasticlala, Obinoscopy, this is character assassination on the person of Tolu Ogunlesi. Therefore, this thread should be closed ASAP.

Here is your evidence. Tolu Ogunlesi has been associated with the Economist as a contributor since at least year. Read the link below:

http://www.signalng.com/exclusive-tolu-ogunlesi-wrote-the-economist-article-calling-gej-an-ineffectual-buffoon/

I am sure he's now headed for the Party of the Saints. I predict that the next breaking story will be that his name is in Dasuki's list. After that, you'll hear nothing more.

ddippset:
Seriously I don't know what's só difficult in Lai Mohammed's statement to understand. The man was asked how the fuel scarcity came about. Simply that the oil marketers went on strike for their Subsidy arreas since August 2014. Who doesnt know that the outstanding Subsidy payments caused the strike?

There is everything difficult to understand in the statement. Apart from the fact that he's trying to shirk the responsibility of the govt that he is a part of, blaming the previous govt of owing importers is most dis-ingenious. Why? Because he was part of the deceiving coalition that fought against the past govt's attempt to remove the subsidy in 2012 when it told Nigerians that paying for the subsidy was realistically unsustenanble. Did Lai Mohammed and his band of opposition propagandists not poo-pooh

14-year-old wins PZ chemistry challenge 2015

Anthony Ekene Ike-Okoro has emerged the youngest winner of the chemistry competition organised by PZ Cussons Nigeria. The 14-year-old SS3 student of Top Grade Secondary School, Surulere, Lagos pulled a total of 88.8 per cent in both the theory and practical sessions to beat three other finalists at the grand finale. Previous winners were 16-year-old, Emmanuel Onyekachi of Miketoy College, Ikotun in 2013 and Justin Nwaoha of Isolog College, Ojodu, Lagos.

In the 2015 edition, Anthony was trailed by 17-year-old Wajul Kareem of Abibat Mogaji Millennium Senior Secondary School, Agege, who recorded 75.4 per cent to finish as first runner up. Pix 3 Samuel Joseph, a 15-year-old student, also of the same Abibat Mogaji Millennium Senior Secondary School, Agege, came third, while Jude Nnaemeka Chineke, a 16-year-old SS3 student of Greate Esteem Secondary School, Surulere, was fourth.

The new champion, did better than his elder brother, Victor, who was the third runner-up at the inaugural edition of the competition in 2013. As the overall winner of the competition, Anthony walked away with a cheque for N700,000, a laptop and gold medal, while his Chemistry teacher, John Nnani, won N100,000.

Top Grade School also won Chemistry books worth N100,000 and a trophy for the feat of its student. Kareem, the first runner-up who also had the best result in the practical session, was presented with a cheque of N500,000, a laptop and silver medal. Joseph, the second runner-up in the competiton, won N400,000, a laptop and bronze medal. Abibat Mogaji Millennium Senior Secondary School, Agege, and Odusanya Joseph, one of its chemistry teachers, got double rewards for producing both the first and second runners-up. The school received Chemistry books worth a cumulative N150,000, while the teacher had cash prize of the same amount – N80,000 for the first runner-up and N70,000 for the second runner-up.

Jude Chineke, the third runner-up, won N300,000 in cash or scholarship, a laptop and consolation medal. His Chemistry teacher, Chuma Dominic, and school got N60,000 cash and Chemistry books worth the same amount. Cash prizes of N50,000 each were also presented to the six students who made Top 10 in the build-up to the finals.

Five other students in the audience were rewarded with prizes after correctly answering questions in the Audience Quiz. Anthony expressed gratitude to God, his parents, teachers and the organisers, as well as the other finalists whom he categorised as stiff competition. He said he would like to study electrical engineering and, in the process, continues to give his best to win more competitions, while urging others to work hard in achieving their goals. He appreciated PZ Cussons foundation for what he described as a “wonderful initiative.”

The competition, endorsed by the Lagos state ministry of education and the chemical society of Nigeria, amongst others, is in three stages. Two students from each public or private school in the state go through stage one, which is held in several centres across the state, with the best 100 progressing to the second stage, where 10 finalists emerge. However, only the top four will mount the stage to take up the ultimate challenge of winning the star prize.

Yomi Ifaturoti, group corporate affairs and administration director of PZ Cussons Nigeria Plc, said PZCCC is aimed at promoting excellence amongst secondary school students. “When we conceived this idea, we had thought the elite schools would produce the winners,” she said. “But the competition has indeed turned out to confirm that it is all down to the individual child and his or her dedication and passion to study.” Oladele Osibanjo, a professor and cairman advisory board of PZCCC, congratulated the organisers for conceiving a project to popularise Chemistry as an important science subject that drives through their manufacturing process.

And why not? He is a native doctor. Bubu is his professional name.

Who e wan be before?? Na 'em yeebos

Odefila sounds like Igbo to you, abi? Ode like you.

It is not a surprise that the "most widely read paper" in Nigeria could not report anything about even a single ministerial nominee from the SE. APC and their 97% vs 5% sef.

They shall wail and groan and gnash their teeth: "HAD WE KNOWN." and it would be too late by then. All those who conspired and lied that we were being flogged with kokoko will see that their change agents will tear their backs with scorpions. It is a prophesy that must come to pass.

Martins that recently celebrated his "30th" birthday? Chai.

lets utilize this time and chance presented to us to buuild a golden generation from these crop.
Your enemies are neither yorubas nor hausas....
Your enemy is your dormant and dddocile mind...
Exploit it and see the world coming to ur feet.....whether u are nigerian or otherwise.

Nwokem, iji okwu. You are indeed a wise man from the East. Our brothers who brag are in fact the empty vessels. The truly brilliant ones among us to not make noise. Their outstanding outputs speak for them instead.

Folks up there eating humble pie bravely after all the previous beefing comments they made earlier on another thread regarding the possibility of Linda buying up a piece of real estate on Banana Island. Enjoy your meal guys.

Gamesmart:
No way is he from Abia State.

Ogbonnaya Onu is already a ministerial nominee from Abia State.

This is just another misinformation from our useless journalists.

Dr Christopher Ogbonnaya Onu is an Uburu man in Ebonyi State.

Thank me later.

planetuzor:
And you think APC and Tinubu are fools.. They fought successfully as opposition without loosing much battle and yet came out un scattered, talk of when they now have control..

I laugh you in Spanish

They did not come out UNSCATHED sha. As for coming out "unscattered", I suppose you have a point if the Saraki saga and Timipre Silva violence in the Bayelsa APC guber primaries that had Adams OshiohmOLE scampering back to Benin are anything to go by.

shizzy7:
The novel and Song was based on Happenings in Nigeria about oppressions and all...
The only modification is that he used a child soldier which is one of the things happening now as regards terrorism..

Sorry bro. But the story is only a fictional disguise of the Boy soldiers of Biafra. Uzodinma Iweala was only paying a deep tribute to all the young Igbos who fought and sometimes died i and died in that wicked war. Just like Chimamanda Adichie did with Half of A Yellow Sun. These young brilliant Igbo writers are keeping the history of their heritage on the front burner. God bless them.
