Favolly:
There are people who disagree with the term "gender equality" and then go on to present their reasons in an intelligent way, but this one is just so shallow.

Why is gender in Nigeria always discussed within the context of marriage? Is that all there is to life?

“Relationships today are ending because women want to be men...”

Auntie, you're really one to talk about broken relationships. Were you not married three times before you married the Ooni? Typical Nigerian woman! Get married, put on a cloak of self - righteousness and judge others for the same things you used to do.

Please stick to being an appendage of a custodian of culture and tradition and leave public speaking alone.

It's the people that gave her microphone I blame sef. What was her qualification to give the speech? If I ran into this lady at the airport, I’d probably chat her up about the most recent Yoruba movies I saw on YouTube, definitely not world issues…

What next ? She’s going to share her opinion on climate change? Girl bye!

How many gbbosa I wan give u now? Abeg take one trailer load first...

SlayerSupreme:

The only reason the slaves are included as delta Igbos is that the fools bear Igbo names and call themselves Ukwuani;which is an Igbo name. Save for that nobody would have known they existed. Fuck_ing idiots.

OMG!!! *hands on my head*.....why na? was not expecting this kind of answer,in short this one nor be answer...vexation nor good o!!!
Onto the matter, its a pity we don't have history books / curriculum...we depend on folk tales without proper documentation and as it passes on from generation to generation it becomes adulterated...hence the confusion
#saynototribalism

Talking about delta igbos, are the ukwani's part of them? Why are they and every other tribe generally referred to as "Kwale"? People from Aboh belong to what tribe? Are they ukwani's too? Is the ukwani a local government or a tribe?

vikel2104:
Seriously?

Op are you saying we are shy ? I accept every but not this one

Charly68:
please confirm if indeed it is Irhobos's culture

Yes! That's the tradition,my late aunt was buried in her fathers house

verabetsy:

I would rather get myself transgendered like this Uniben student to blow

Transvestite should not be confused with
transgender

Please help us appeal to Mrs . Funke Osibodu , she is the head of power holding company in UDU local government area of Delta state to please give us power. The whole of the LGA have been trown into total darkness for the past 2 month over a protest, a particular street called New York, carried out a protest over , over estimated bills, no power and NEPA keep bringing outrageous bill, during the protest one of the NEPA official slapped a married woman and it resulted to violent, since then Mrs. Funke Osibodu has vow to punished the whole local government for six months we are now in the 3rd month, to my amazement some companies around the vicinity such as WETLAND HOTEL, EMU BAKERY LTD AND FANTAZER FAST FOOD AND OTHERS went to bribery her and she restored power to those companies living the residential area black out, wen the elderly people in the community called her she will start insulting them, to the extent she said there is nothing the government can do to her, that she own the company. Please help us, she is using the sin of a street to punished the whole local government

So they cannot sue her? No competent lawyer in the local govt.....they are enjoying the darkness ba!
Power company has been privatised, yet people don't know their left from right.

jordinsparkles:
I don't know about their lives sha... Nah just amebo I dey do. Is what I heard I said now.

Lol! Your cousin nor sabi do arproko at all

jordinsparkles:
but why are you soo bitter? I just said something now and everyone is just attacking my poor cousin am soo sad.

Your cousin cannot even tell you the difference between Sumbo and Pero...don't believe what he/she tells you about others

This has been her signature look for long....I think this makeup was popular in the late 70's, that's why she's tagging the modern makeup as "artificial".
Its all about understanding where one is coming from.

Lucasbalo:
Sorry about your loss. That's so sad. Losing two parents to misdiagnosis. In a civilized climate, that's a malpractice lawsuit but there is no repercussion for that carelessness in Nigeria.

Thanks! I thought about a lawsuit but na who chop belle full d pursue matter for naija,besides it won't bring them back.
But I make it my goal to encourage people with medical issues : always go for second opinion and even third,do not ignore any odd sign and try have some medical knowledge too for it can help one express oneself and relate well with medical practitioners,and the doctors should listen too.(I did my own research and suggested to the doctor that my dad should have a colonoscopy,he was feeling like .."I am the doctor here"

My pregnant mum went for scanning and the result showed twins...she developed high bp wondering where twins would come from, esp. when there's no twins in our family history and the fact that she was supposed to be in menopause...long story short she had heart attack and died. After her death it was discovered there was no twins at all.

My dad was diagnosed with ulcer, started taking injections everyday as prescribed by his doctor(the pain was unbearable)..yet his health deteriorated...we latter found out he had liver cancer...it was too late ,he died.

Blossom023:

Abhay is the one sitting down

Ok

zeeworldfreak1:
..correct babe !

Yes o! The second one just baff up with swagg, dash the first one that swagg and see finnest boy 101%, even with his gentleman look..he's ... *which word I wan use now o!!!*

Blossom023:
Let's settle this.. Those in favor of Abhay say "Aye"
Those in favor of uday say nay

Which one be abhay... Which one be Uday? Anyway, I choose the first one.

tonio2wo:
Komodo dragons are only found in d komodo islands, no other place on earth! D op killed a monitor lizard! Over sabi!

Its ok!

tonio2wo:

Oh my God! What is all this?
Its a monitor lizard for Christ's sake!!! Google it!

Ok I just did and I got this "The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis),
also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large
species of lizard.....A member
of the monitor lizard family Varanidae." These reptiles are of different species and can be confusing really...that one the op killed is tiny, compared to the massive giant lizards in my village.

mamajaz:

kolanut or coconut? soo obvious you didn't read the article!

Yes I meant kolanut(cola)...the caffeine containing nut that goes with gin that is always on the table in any traditional gathering. So when I say "they will break kola nut on his head" a real traditional person will grab.
I read the article and can relate to it perfectly well

Baroba:

I hope your village is no where near Nigeria or Africa, if not, I will pay you 1 million naira if you find an Iguana in Nigeria.. Not imported just in case..

South American Iguana pictured below for reference purposes..

No o! Not this one..its the one op killed I'm talking about,don't mind my people they generally call it iguana ,na where their sense carry them reach. The real name is Komodo dragon/lizard

That's is Iguana, they roam freely in my village..its a taboo to kill them

OBAGADAFFI:


What nonsense .
In cultural mind where do you see Junior beating up seniors from the same family.

I am sure that young man won't hesitate to beat up his father and mother.

Such kid should be disowned immediately

From the comments on this thread,you should know that culture is dead. *smh* in a real traditional setting the elders in the family suppose don break kolanut for he head(he will apologize to her),then the youths in the family will summon him and flog him...disgracing him before his younger ones

SensaGreene:
So I just made stew using tatase, sombo. I took out all the seeds, 6bulbs of onions, 1 sachet roll of tomato paste and 2small, very small plates of tomatoes. Its so red and tastes awesome. It filled the pot I normally use for stew.

Which of the tatase did u you use, fresh or dry?

JoelAmawhe:
I'm a Niger Deltan.
I'm a Software Engineer and I'm not lazy.

#NigerDeltansAreNotLazy

1/100 na F9 even 20/100 na F9
I'm a Niger Deltan...I work so hard to care for my needs and those of my loved ones but the people around me are terrifyingly lazy,majority are parasitic.

papparatzzi2013:
TonyeBarcanista, from the comments of most people that I have read, you can deduce that most people agree with Dickson. Though he is a nut head for calling his people lazg.

Maybe that is his way of making the Niger Delta youths to wake up from their slumber and stop being lazy.

"Our Oyel" mentality actually killed that region. Imagine the Yorubas or Igbos having access to the opportunities you guys have and what they would have achieved with it. I am sure by now Harvard Yale Cambridge LSE Oxford MIT and other Ivy League schools would have banned Nigerians from applying to their schools.

There is an urgent need to re-orientate the minds of an average youth of ND. This requires a visionary and bold leadership that drive and inspire those seemingly lost youths. Do you have such personality in the region?

Instead of playing the "blame" card TonyeBarcanista should focus more on how we can come out of this disgraceful truth. Chew this truth and digest it,it is the truth..

Babalegba:
Nigerians have an aversion for the truth so they will always rationalize wrongs. Everything points to the fact that bayelsans are lazy but some Nigerians are trying to massage their ego. Stupid country

Its terrifying!!! This one pass horror film.
If they will not accept the truth,that means the situation is hopeless na

Parents and guardians please pay attention and take care of your responsibility. I wonder why a father will be asking his 16year old son for money...No shame at all! "Hey u ,u get sky there? Bring anything wey dey your hand..make I take push myself reach papa runo place"
Very disappointing and pathetic.....I am short of words,word cannot express the anger and disappointment I feel....I weep in my heart! One stupid youth just interrupted my typo now now.....telling me that I cannot even survey the land I just paid for, if I do pay youth deve fee. I beg tell me , make una tell me.. why I nor go wail for them??

Medical practitioners in Nig. are allergic to sensitivity test, once they suspect malaria the next thing they're prescribing "Qoartin or Artessunute" ignoring the fact that a serious reaction can occur.
I almost died from Qouartin reaction

daveson07:
Ekosodin: They’ll instill respect and good behaviour in you. You learn how to greet your neighbours in Ekosodin whether you like it or not except you have plans of moving into the hostel or BDPA. In fact, before falling in love with a girl staying in Ekosodin, you have to do your research properly because your parents won’t forgive you if you end up dying for love.

From year one to final I stayed in Ekosodin [Amega mega home & Kapa green] it was fun..no negative experience at all,late night movement was a constant thing....YAWEH was my guide then, I later realised the risk I took was stupid and foolish

slaknoah:
Does this country has any law at all.





What are the law enforcement agencies doing




This is barbaric

There is noting like law enforcement in this country. That rogue has been arrested many times, yet he gets out.

Passy089:





I guess you didn't read the part where he confessed to have killed 9 persons already... that's probably why he was killed.

Leave that one make he the talk there,by the time the likes of Emma B reach where he dey ...nobody go tell am. Sit down there the compare embezzler to notorious, violent criminal.
If the first one touch you...na only wail you go wail(just join wailers club), but if the latter touch you say you survive am....(No word to describe the after effect)

Flashh:
This one resemble wife sef?

You know weda na the frustration she see inside marriage drain her like that?

[quote author=989900 post=45407445]90% of Nigerians don't even know what love is, their love and marriage is largely either a commercial enterprise, or a social security programme.

Fact: 9 in every 10 relationship is largely based on financial benefits or security. Most women including Dabota will likely not be married to whom they are married to today if they (the women) are properly financially secured and independent (few women actually even understand what that means). Then you have those who marry to please their family and the society.[/quote

E.g. Rita Dominic,Linda Ikeji and Genevive Nnaji....society won't let them be
