That Bolsonaro should cut the crap and fix the Amazon bush burning. If he can't he should dump his pride and let countries that are willing do the job. The Amazon forest produces earth's 20% oxygen so we are all concerned.

According to Jair Bolsonaro, Receiving aids isn't the problem, but those who give aids do use it as a means of interfering with the sovereignty of Brazil, reason for this whole madness. Somehow reminds me of Thomas Sankara's quote, "He who feeds you, controls you".

God bless you and your wife, that's all I have to say.

Moral of the story, never lose your job.

Was this all you came up with

They are all thieves irrespective of the party and region they belong to ..imagine somebody cancelled your comment that's to show you the damage tribe, language, religion has done to our minds, blinding the eyes of men not to see the truth even at the point of death. What a shame .

It is just a pity bro, you can already see that he is dragging tribe into the discussion. This man had a whole state in his pocket and is planning of pocketing the entire nation, his greed is second to none.

No society grows with people like him, a country can't move forward with the type of selfish leaders we have in this country.

Still doesn't change the fact that he, like every other Politicians in this country, is a big thief.

My only concern is that we have people glorifying him while demonizing others.

Iranian naval escort is on the way.

US may likely seize the ship before any Iranian naval escort get to it, it just left Gibraltar and tension is high. Iran will retaliate should her ship be seized in international waters, they'd use that as an excuse to terrorise the strait of Hormuz.

bluebay:
Good morning
And thanks for the respond . Actually, she already have a son for me and am planning for the marriage this November but to be honest, am feeling discourage for her character . Am a Yoruba boy and she’s Urhobo, Am from a polygamous home and I must tell you that the second wife, which happened to be the urhobo ruined the family and brought my father the level he is now and that’s what made my Mother dislikes the urhobo. At first, my mother rejected and forbided me from having an urhobo lady but it took me a whole
Year to convince her . But now, am beginning to see similar character in her for she easily raises her voice at me, she hisses at me over little issues, she barely listen to what I instruct her to do but rather, do what pleases her . I’ve been tempted several times to let my hands on her but I just ignore and this makes me a weaker man everyday to the extend if I instruct her to do something, she just shouts at me and I keep quiet like a bitch. Please help .

You are making it sound more like a tribal thing than a personal trait, which is not true, Ladies from that part of the world are great.

I think you guys lack understanding, you just narrated how you got into a fight with her because you left her hungry (Which wasn't your fault, because you didn't planned for that), but you should have texted her, she thought maybe you left her and the baby hungry while drinking with your friends.

I condemn her actions nevertheless. she has anger management issues, do you fulfill your duties as a man? things like that might really get her upset, before you think of leaving her, think about your SON, he needs you both together.

wishing you all the best.

Midas01:
When you're bashing religion know which one(s) to bash. Moreover this is about Islam and not any other religion so your bigotry and debasing of religion in it's entirety is mundane.

Christians and Christianity have provided the most developed societies and most inventions, most contributions to science,
technology, art, music, entertainment, etc so say what you know and know what you say.

I'm not ready for your dick measuring contest, this thread is about calling Saudi Arabia out for their crimes against humanity, the reason you mentioned me, I don't know.

And no, every religion had their fair share of contributions to science and technology; Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, Jewish, Etc. all made significant contributions to science and technology.

Even the Christianity you are trying to bring into this discuss has some negative effects on us (Nigerians), but I won't talk about that now. Face the topic at hand and let go of this religion supremacy, it hasn't helped anyone.

executive12:
And these are the devils the Nigerian Muslims look up to.

Religion! it just has a way of making people dumb, no sane mind will look up to Saudi Arabia for anything, My own anger is how our governors in northern Nigeria, waste billions sponsoring people to that country for some BS, even when 80% of kids in their region are out of school and a huge portion of the population barely live a normal life.

They rather waste millions to pray, than invest the little cash in our society, It is such a pity.

They come to your land and want to be treated with fairness and "equity", but when you go to their land they don't care about your rights, everything has to be some religious BS... and they are they meanest people on earth.

TheCvBank:
Only Donald trump sanction can release this girl from these Saudis. The rest of the world fear him. Well except for North Korea and Iran

No country can sanction Saudi Arabia, they control the energy market, if US sanctions them, Russia will rush and accept them, so for now the world will turn a blind eye to their atrocities. They have bombed thousands of Kids in Yemen in just a few years, they even bombed a school bus with kids on it.

I fear Saudi Arabia more than any country, last year they butchered a journalist, nobody dare cough. lol, that's to tell you how influential they are. But this won't last forever, very soon when their usefulness isn't needed, they will be given Iraq's treatment.

ubunja:
how hungry for love are you that you have to accept it even from a single mother?

Have standards. You make people with money look stupid

The way you hate women, do you have any woman in your life? like mother, sister, GF?

Bro tone down please, stop throwing jabs at ladies at any given opportunity, they are humans just like you and me, and they also deserve to be happy.

Being pregnant doesn't mean one is a slut, shii happens in life. Once again, learn to respect WOMEN!

Umahi - I just like this man, with the little in his possession, he was able to transform his state into a productive one.

I do not care about party, it is useless to me. If PDP should ever have a chance of ruling, they should present a sound candidate, and Umahi is the perfect man for the job.

kakakii:
she is being insensitive on Salah day I'm not surprised coming from a female person ( not misogyny) . Females are known to be too emotionally attached to things especially Religion.

Most of us practice what we practice because we were born into it nothing more. We didn't choose our religion and she will obviously use Bible to back up her claims just like Muslim will use Quran to back up theirs.

all are borrowed religion at the end of the day and doesn't change the fact that you are a shitty person ( that's if you are one)

Religion thrives in fail states that's why we see thousands of Muslim going to hajj and millions of Christians going to church

That's why the well being of the country is being designated to pastors because we are doomed as a nation...

That's why people like daddy freeze want pastors to Use the church funds for basic amenities.. Had it been Nigeria is not doomed would you expect pastor to be doing the work of the government? And the truth of the matter is that these religious leaders are the one carrying some countries because the leaders are crap!

Also Christians are rich, because it's one of the earliest religion and the leaders had so much money then so they had the money factor to use to attract the members so as to be in the club even in the USA they have the power and influence..
Same as in UAE Saudi for modern Muslim

And guess what? As long as we have corrupt leaders religion will continue to thrive because if I receive aids from church today there is no reason for me not to go to church and believe in Christ..

Same as Muslim.. During Ramadan we see Muslims donating to people of Gaza, foods and supplies. How do you expect those people not to be a devoted Muslim because what's suppose to be provided by the government is being make available by religion, it's only normal to worship people who help you....

If Christianity has done so much in your life career wise and you have something to point to as achievements under the religion you have no reason to change or deviate

Same as Islam, if being a Muslim has done so much in your life, you have no reason to join another religion.

I have a friend whose mum is a Christian now, the mum is the only Christian in the family so we used to mock her for being a Christian ( we are very close).. But one day she said she become a Christian because of one terminal disease, it was Christianity that came to her aid when she needed money for hospital, prayed for her and donated money. So it's only normal for her to be a Christian... NOBODY HAS GONE TO HEAVEN TO BE SURE GOD FAVORS ONE RELIGION OVER others

See people Like Mohammed Salah he is a devoted Muslim Anytime he score a goal he bow and use head to touch the floor that's because he believes his success is attributed to being a Muslim

See people like Lionel messi he look up and do the Christian ish sign because he believes his success is attributed to Jesus Christ

See the owner of this website, he is successful so he believes he doesnt need any religion because it's working for him

Lastly see TIM COOK apple CEO who also doesn't practice anything..

I'm sorry if I have offended anyone by being insensitive..
Live a good life and make sure what you are doing is not having negative impact on your fellow humans

I still don't understand why people hate others because of religion, not that any religion is the right one anyway. Live and lets live, respect my religion and I will do same to you, we have too many problems in this world and these religious fanatics are making things more difficult.

Thanks for this wonderful piece. let LOVE lead!

darfay:
The isoko language is a small one, so it's quite uniform everywhere... I really don't think of it as having a standard, but the Bible was written in Aviara tongue

The Isoko language isn't uniform, it has over 18 dialects and yes Aviara/Uzere is the standard dialect.

dermmy Iran just unveiled an advanced radar capable of detecting objects within a 400-kilometer range, this new system can detect stealth aircraft and drones, for now we don't know how powerful these Iranian techs are, they probably unveiling these as a deterrence.

Sanction is still crippling the economy, but so far the masses aren't against their government, the mullahs wont bend, a bit complex issue I must say.

chijiblaze:
Not really.
The Anioma-Igbo group has a total of nine 9⃣ local government areas. Whereas the Urhobo, even when combined with the Isoko only have eight 8⃣.
So it is clear which of them is the majority.

Combined with Isoko it's 10 LGA (excluding Urhobos in Warri South), besides when does having more LGAs translate to population? Urhobo LGAs are densely populated and highly urbanized, and the average Urhobo man is polygamous in Nature, reason for their population.

horsepower101:
Indigenously, I think it’s Urhobo, but Anioma land has seen the influx of igbos from all over igbo land come an join them over the years. This has boosted the population of Anioma igbos.

Asaba saw the biggest influx but other surrounding anioma towns and villages are also witnessing the influx of igbos from all over.

We need Anioma state which should have been created 30 years ago.

You are correct about the influx of Igbos in Anioma, but even at that, the Urhobo population still beats that of any group (Including those from other states), 7/11 of the densely populated towns in the state is highly populated by Urhobo and are in Urhobo land.

pinkPUSSY:
Group of people wey no get name and identity ?

Stop being clever by half by running away from the reality on ground

Anioma is a name given to Igbo speaking part of Delta State by Chief Osabebey in 70's...Delta North to be precise.


Keep deceiving yourself to be happy. The reality is on ground waiting for you

I sincerely don't know the problems with some of you. Always looking for unnecessary battles and arguments, please I'm not interested in such arguments, wether or not you are not comfortable with the way I refer to them as Anioma is not my problem but yours to solve, I can see where this is leading to.

Bye.

raymexx:
Is there any tribe in Nigeria called Anioma?

Anioma is a group of people recognized in Delta state and reside in Delta North... and please get my message and don't drag me into unnecessary arguments.

Urhobo is the major ethnic group in Delta State, and also a major voice in the region. Anioma is the second largest, followed by either Isoko, itsekiri or Ijaw.

tetralogyfallot:
War is not won on d ground anymore its won over the air. We need a more robust airforce.

Wars are won on the ground, Air only gives you advantages. In modern times, so many countries with sophisticated air force and air superiority are still finding it hard to win some battles.

Our armed men should be well equipped, air force should be readily available to support the ground forces, but with the level of corruption in Nigeria, I don't think this will happen anytime soon.

stupidity:
what you wrote above is what qualifies one for heaven. But sadly I’m beginning to believe it’s a fairy tale. I believe there’s a God, a superior being, not the Christian God, not the Muslim God, not any other God but the one and true God that governs all souls on earth.

I believe in a Supreme being (God), but I think he doesn't interfere in the affairs of men (Humans), most things happening here on earth are results of the decisions we humans made in the past.

Heaven is probably an illusion (Sorry to my religious folk if I sound offensive), that's how i just see it. So I'm living life the best way I can, loving those around me and trying to do the little I can for humanity, nothing is too small, just put smile on people's face.

That's just life for me.

I think we are here for each other, LIFE is very short, so we should live everyday loving, helping those we can and lastly making peace with those around you.

These are the basic things guiding me, I'm irreligious thou, but life to me is LOVE.

legitnow:
@Efewestern Note the origin of the term Ile ibinu and Ubinu and Bini.

Nice read bro, I'm getting a solid response to some of your claims. will update that thread when am done.

legitnow:
Yeah! That is just it, the administrative centre u call Ubinu is not indigenous to the Igodomigodo people.

The way u use the word Bini should be measured becos Igodomigodo people and Bini are totally unrelated until 12th Century wen Oranmiyan invaded and destroyed the Ogiso dynasty by war.

Bini was imposed on them and foreign.

Before the coming of Yoruba Oba in the 12the century and then elivated by the portugese in the 15 century via slave trade, the Igodomigodo people now refered to as Bini had an indigenous King called Ogiso. The kingdom was refered to as Idu.

U say Edo but that is a corrupted word of a Yoruba Prince called Ado from the 12th century.


Itsekiri are mixed with Igodomigodo people and Ijaw. They originally were full blooded Yoruba but not anymore.


They came with the Oba in 12 century as fighters.


In fact Ondo state is a mix of Igodomigodo, yoruba and Ijaw.






This is a list of the independent Ogisos (Kings) of Igodomigodo, which was to become the Benin Empire, from 355 BC to 1092 AD.

You said the Igbodomigodo people are not related to Bini until 12th century? first time I'm hearing this, Oranmiyan only brought his unique style of leadership to Igbodomigodo, he met with the Enogie's daughter and they birthed Eweka 1, Igbodomigodo Was later renamed to Ubinu by Eweka 1.

You view about the Itsekiri's is wrong, the itsekiri had no contact with the Ijaw people until they settled in present day delta. There are some autonomous communities in itsekiri to this day who traces their own origin to Ijebu. Like I said earlier, Itsekiri is a direct offshoot of various Yoruba clans, those from escravos migrated from the present day Ilaje, The itsekiri only adopted a Bini prince to rule them, thus the Olu of Itsekiri dynasty was created. So they are mixture of Yoruba and Edo.

legitnow:
There is nothing like bini, the real people are Igodomigodo.

Bini is the word ile ibinu, given after the Yoruba conquest of Ogiso territory and established the bini territory.

Samething with Ado. The word Edo is derived from Ado, which is the name of the First Yoruba prince of Igodo land.

This is where many people get confused and start thinking Urhobo or Igbodomigodo people are yoruba becos Oba is yoruba. wrong!

There is no such word like "Ile Ibinu" in ancient Bini history, it was recently coined when the Edo and Yoruba supremacy battle started. "Ubinu" was the right word and it was used to describe the royal administrative centre of Edo kingdom. Ubinu was later corrupted to Bini by Portuguese speakers.

Apart from the Okpe clan of Urhobo who traces their origin to Ile-ife, the Urhobos have always maintained, from ancient time that they are from Bini, no one can even link Urhobo to Yoruba, you can do that with itsekiri, which is a direct offshoot of various Yoruba clans, not Urhobo.

Igbodomigodo is the first name given to the Bini empire, it was named by the first Ogiso, so Igbodomigodo = Bini, since we are referring to a people living in a given territory.

Bini and Yoruba shared a lot in common in the past, so its normal for both to steal some words from each other, reason for the Oba tittle I guest.

TSRC:
That is why I don't support a Chinese world power.
Those guys would be 100 times worse than America.

The worst American company in Nigeria treat.their staffs better than the best Chinese company in Nigeria.

You can't give what you don't have.

Agreed, even if some of us do call US out for some actions, US is by far one of the best in the world, far better than China and Russia.

No US company will treat workers like slave, the Chinese don't care, it's all about them, very selfish and greedy beings, have you seen them helping any nation out? the whole world can burn to ashes, provided it doesn't affect them, they won't bother.

The one that is even paining me are those workers from India and Lebanon, gosh, people that are still battling with poverty be forming king in our own land, some are even assaulting those under them.

dermmy:
You are right oga Efewestern. Just trolling his die hard fans on NL, you know these guys will start coming up with blind arguements very soon.

Most comments here are based on sentiments, sometimes I they even shame for them, so I just avoid some threads.

dermmy:
He should go on and wipe him. His nairaland fans will support him.

The only way that is possible is if he intends using nuclear weapons, using nuclear on Talibans will bring many criticism to US and US might loose their moral stand against others who intend having nuclear weapons for self defense, that action alone might lead to a new nuclear arm race.

If he doesn't want to use Nuclear weapons, then I don't see him clearing Talibans in a long time, Afghanistan is a mountainous territory, one suitable for a defensive battle, sending more troops to the country won't solve anything.

greatme2good:
Are you speaking of him going for another degree or go for that same one? I'm asking coz Nigerian university admissions expires after additional two years you complete your expected course year. I don't know about Ghana and private schools though.
IMO I would advice he enrolls for another degree after making some money. I know it won't be easy but spending such money in getting that certificate isn't wise.

Going for another degree is his best shot, because I can't imagine spending close to 3m for a degree that's not that good.
