Jostico:What stupid orders? Their rules of engagement was to protect the bastard expatriate and not to intimidate Nigerians or obstruct the duties of other people. The display of illiteracy by some of our uniformed men is becoming most annoying. |

CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH ADULTERY IS ALLOWED OR REGARDED AS NO OFFENCE IN MY TOWN By Anayo M. Nwosu Chief Anazodo of Okpuno Otolo was a great man of means. He was a rich farmer whose yam ban stretched up to a quarter of a kilometer squared. He was polygamous as many rich men of his time. He also needed to raise his own workforce in his own children to cultivate his farms and tend them. His wives and children helped him to operate and manage his farms. The other side of this Nnewi man was his generosity as he was reputed for dashing out to the needy, any priced asset even if that was all he had at the time. One afternoon when he returned from Ikwu Ahu festival, he met Anosike his half brother waiting for him at his Ozobi or a small hut serving as his reception place for visitors. Anosike came waiting with a full keg of palm wine. When the two brothers had drank to their fill, Anosike managed to muster courage to tell his brother his mission. Under the tipsy influence of alcohol, he could be said to be drunk if the brother felt sad about his weird request. "My dear brother, I cannot take my eyes of your new wife. I cannot continue to wish away her image in my mind. A a big brother kindly allow me sow my yam in her farm. "Could you please give her to me to marry?" he managed to say. "What a stupid request!", a rational person would think. Ugegbemma, the woman in question was Chief Anazodo's sixth wife. She was 18 years of age and could be described as a paragon of beauty. Ugegbemma had a cave of a waist and two full breasts standing vertically and threatening to turn a frontal male onlooker into a baby begging for breasts to suckle. Ugegbemma was disappointed when her father told her that Chief Anazodo, not the young Anosike, that accompanied him was the suitor the very day Chief Anazodo married her by paying her bride price. As a perceptive older man, Chief Anazodo noticed the blaze in his younger brother's eyes and when Ugegbemma was asked to come greet them. He was now relieved that Anosike was bold enough to broach the topic. In their own time, jealousy over women was not rife because men could conveniently marry as many types or shapes of women they wanted or longed for and as much as their pockets could allow. Chief Anazodo asked his younger brother to buy a keg of palm wine on Afo market day and follow him to Umudim, the home of the parents of Ugegbemma. It was a small ceremony at house of the father of Ugegbemma. The host was told by his Inlaws from Okpuno Otolo that Chief Anazodo was transferring their daughter to his half brother,Anosike. No opposition was expected as a woman in Nnewi is married by the entire extended family not necessarily the husband. The apparent husband is merely a representative of his Umunna or extended family. Note that no Nnewi man is ever present where the bride price of his wife is paid. In most cases, the groom would never be told how much was paid for his wife. His kinsmen do the negotiation and payment. All men in extended family were taxed to finance the marriage of a financial member of the family. We call this tax "Utu anum nwanyi". Some families demanded only wine or drink contribution. This ritual of notifying the parents of a wife of the impending transfer of their daughter from one man to the another but within the same extended family is called "itughari nkwu nwanyi". In such a transfer, no new or extra bride price is charged or paid. The new husband would be deemed to have performed all the marital rites already concluded by his brother or relation. In the same vein, a brother whose wife is experiencing difficulty in conception is encouraged to seek the help of his male relations. There is a saying in Nnewi that "a husband whose gun fails to shell out bullets could be helped by his brother". By so doing, we are roundly our brother's keepers. A man who has noticed that he could not impregnate his wife is expected to visit a chosen labourer with a keg of 5 litres of palm wine to solicit for assistance. The mating venue is the family home of the needy couple. The needy man was expected to keep a wine for his donor or labourer relation while the wife would prepare a delicious coco yam fufu with soup made with ora and uturukpam leaves. In my place, the legal and actual father of any child is the man who paid the bride price of the mother of the child. In the tradition of Nnewi that I know, a man who benefits from a transfer of a wife or that who has agreed and actually did help his kinsmen impregnate the wife was not guilty of adultery. My uncle, David says that a man can only be said to be guilty of adultery if he sleeps with another person's wife without the permission of her husband. |

SaulRazor:The business of Sahara reporters is that "Ceaser's wife should be above suspicion". As a public figure and a lawmaker, he should always watch his steps. The throne has a reputation that should not be dented. What moral lessons is he teaching the younger generation especially those who look up to him as a role model? What pride has he left for the wife and family? I said it in an earlier thread about Uche Jumbo's husband that most men are worse than dogs. At the end of this whole trash, the ladies accounts will swell up and maybe some juicy contracts will be added, yet, so many of his constituents are dying of hunger. |
ITbomb:Still don't know how some junk make fp. Inform our youths about job opportunities or write on issues that will save or protect our society, you won't see it on fp but kill a snake in your farm and instantly makes fp. I tire joor |
oneape:Ha ha ha ha, common sense is indeed not common. |
This is child's play compared to what will happen in choosing Biafra ' s president, capital, etc. |
EmekaBlue:Over frustrated people? Have you been following the mayhem these people have been unleashing on Ikorodu residents? Killing families including innocent children and you think it's all about frustration? I don't think so my dear, they had it coming. |
oneape:Thanks. He is late . I won't fight you but he will until you learn to be civil. You can put your ideas across without insults you know. Good luck. |
HeGeMon:What really are you talking about? It's even back in Africa that women do not have a say with their women so I don't understand what you mean by her thinking that the husband is a Nigerian that she could override. Let the truth be told, I think most of us men are simply dogs. |
yinkslinks:Really? |
What really is going on? Are all men truly 'dogs'? This poor girl has tried to keep her family and make her marriage work. Hope we don't start hearing stories from Omotola and Mercy Johnson' s homes soon. |
I believeiit's a lot healthier to be silent than to expose one's shallow mindedness. How on earth is this Buhari's fault? People can waste their time and data just to type irrelevant things. Having said tha , the poor man might not be mentally challenged as is being insinuated in some quarters. He might have been pushed to the wall and for sure every man has an insurance limit. |
ESDKING:I won't banter words with you or resort to your abusive language but to tell you that I am a full blooded Igbo but one with his eyes open, ekwekwe g'emesia kwere n'ute ekwere. You can ask any of your old men to interprete for you because you are obviously of the rude younger generation. |
Summarily, they are refusing Bishop Okpaleke because he is an Igbo from Anambra State and not an Igbo from Imo State, and speak a different ddialect. of Igbo language. Tufiakwa and we are talking of Marginalization when we even marginalize ourselves. May thunder fire anyone that will come to tell me of Biafra. Besides Ojukwu, I am yet to find an Igbo man who truly has the interest of the Igbos at heart.. Biafra my foot. |
According to a Facebook user, Ikorodu in Lagos Nigeria has been under siege for the past four days as unfortunate families are wiped out. The most recent is a family of six. The parents and four innocent children met their death right in their home. The woman purportedly from Benue State was well known as she used to sell corn in the neighborhood to make a living. The situation has presently escalated to a point where all the able bodied men in this suburb of Lagos State no longer sleep in their houses but keep vigil throughout out the night. The question is, "is it not time the police stop celebrating the capture of Evans and get back to work? I pray that this makes fp so that people will be aware of what is going on and get the appropriate authorities to take appropriate steps please.

Evaberry:Are you kidding me? It's okay if you choose to be a lesbian, it's your life but why so much hatred for men? We definitely have our shortcomings just like women too. Slow down on the hatred dear, a possible ingrate amongst men does not make all of us "crazy scum, useless and just disgusting. Finally on the issue at stake, don't allow your hatred for us to becloud your sense of judgement. The Op was right, parents should take care of the children they bring into the world. I pray that you find love someday soon. |
It is unthinkable that human beings can go all out to sabotage the efforts of the government even to the extent of endangering their lives and that of others. Despite the efforts of the government to make the commercial city of Aba, a safe and healthy place for all, read what a Facebook user, hon Obinna Egbulefu and his team uncovered. Aba Urban renewal committee uncovers discharging of Faeces on Government drains at number 104 newly constructed and commissioned Ibadan Street, Aba.

Issue like this one below cause agitation and the call for secession and rightly too. "Where the eye is being treated, pepper should be kept at a distance". For the few of us that have an open mind and a strong belief in the unity of this Nation despite ALL, an attempt to erode that trust and belief might be dangerous. Read with me ; Minister of education has removed Christian religious study as a subject but allowed it only as topic under civics, while Islamic and Arabic studies are subjects. CAN went to aso rock to protest. Read Thisday and vanguard newspapers of the 16th? IF ANY THING HAPPENS TO NIGERIA, HOLD ISLAM RESPONSIBLE! BY SIR DON UBANI; KSC, JP OKWUBUNKA OF ASA 16TH JUNE, 2017 In life, the worst miscalculation a group could make is to take the patience or tolerance of others for granted. As an individual, I hold the opinion that Nigeria as amalgamated by the British in 1914 could stand tall in, not only Africa, but the comity of nations. With our geographical size, population and human capacity, there is hardly any economy that Nigeria can not sustain. Besides, the country is abundantly blessed with natural resources. Though very heterogeneous by composition, our diversity, if properly harnessed, should have been our major source of strength and, may be, pride. Taking advanced cognizance of human nature, our post amalgamation founding fathers articulated and meticulously bequeathed us a Constitution that had in mind our diversity. Our Constitutions, especially that of 1963, have always had and presented Nigeria as a secular state. Being a secular state means that Nigeria has no state religion. Citizens are fundamentally allowed to practise the religion of their choice. As we could sincerely attested to, nothing is as sensitive and volatile as religion. No wonder, our founding fathers allowed it to be a matter of personal choice. In Nigeria, there are different types of religion; Traditional, Christian, Islamist and Jewish. In a secular state, government has no business trying to impose one religion on any citizen. As long as the religious practice does not inhibit the fundamental rights of other citizens, government's attention is never drawn to its mode of worship. Christianity and Islam are two major religions in Nigeria. While Christianity found its way into Nigeria through the western zone and spread by European Missionaries, Islam came through the North. Islam has its origin in Arabia. The methods adopted for the spread of the two religions by those that brought them to Nigeria differ basically. Christianity was spread through evangelism, persuasion and conviction. On the other hand, militancy and brutal force, otherwise known as Jihad, were the method of spread for Islam. It was by military conquest that Uthman Dan Fodio subdued Gobir and converted it into a Muslim Sokoto Caliphate in 1804. By 1808, Islam, by conquest, had taken over katsina, Kano, Nupe and Illorin. In spite of Nigeria's purported secularity, some leaders of Nigeria of northern extraction, have tried or been trying to upset the religious peace of the country. In 1986, General Ibrahim Babangida, a self-styled Military President of Nigeria, unilaterally and dictatorially dragged Nigeria into membership of Organization of Islamic Co-operation. I vividly recollect that mere expression of ignorance of Nigeria's membership of OIC cost Commodore Okoh Ebitu Ukiwe his position as Chief of General Staff(Vice President)under President Babangida. Other Military Heads of State who came after Ibrahim Babangida deliberately sustained that membership, not minding it's sensitivity. Boko Haram insurgency in the North of Nigeria, particularly in the North-East; a religious volcano that has eaten too deeply into Nigeria's resources and still counting, is Islamist and has desperately been fighting for an Islamist caliphate in that region. From the same Islamist propensity, the Fulani herdsmen, all Moslems, have been waging and sustaining wars against Christian farmers in North-Central and Southern regions of Nigeria. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of Christians have not only been killed by these Muslim herdsmen but heartlessly butchered. Yet, no single arrest has been made. To add salt to injury, the Federal Government of Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari, a core Moslem, through the Nigerian Education Research Council; a parastatal under the Federal Ministry of Education headed by Prof Adamu Adamu, a core northern Moslem, has, without consultation with key stakeholders, changed the curriculum of secondary schools in Nigeria. Because Nigeria is fashioned as a secular state, practitioners of different religions in the country establish their schools through which they inculcate their beliefs in their children. Christians, the world over, worship God Almighty, believing Jesus Christ as their Intercessor. In Christian Missionary Schools, Christian Religious Knowledge is taught in order to sustain the faith. In junior classes in Secondary schools, CRK is compulsorily taught. Jesus Christ is the pillar upon which Christianity rests. Any person or body that tries to force or deceive the Christian not to believe that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God is only attempting to sow the seed of cataclysm in Nigeria. According to the Prof Adamu Adamu new curriculum of education, Christian Religious Knowledge has been removed and replaced by Islam/Arabic studies and French. Christian Religious knowledge will only be mentioned as a theme in Civic Education. The trick here is that between Islam/Arabic studies and French, many secondary school students, in the absence of teachers of French, would opt for Islam/Arabic studies. This is a crude way of phasing out Christianity in Nigeria and, in it's place, imposing Islam on Christians. We know that whatever is fed the mind at its tender stage is what it grows to accept. As a Knight of the Anglican Communion and being a defender of the Christian faith, I am duty-bound to join Rev(Dr) Sampson Oyekunle; the President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, who led a protest yesterday against this illegal and potentially explosive imposition of an Islamist Curriculum on Christians, to say no to this horrible and horrific imposition. Islam has continued to constitute a threat to the unity, safety and progress of Nigeria. For those who may query if Nigeria's unity is not threatened by the activities of Indigenous People of Biafra, Niger Delta Militants and Odua People's Congress, my answer is very simple. These groups are either agitating, in a non-violent manner, for referendum or true federalism. The desperation and manner in which Moslem leaders in Nigeria seem hell-bent in wiping out Christianity could leave an irregular signature on the Nigerian project, if left unchecked. Those who think this write-up makes sense, could quicken it's circulation by sharing it. We must say a capital No to this aberration. Enough Is Enough! Okwubunka of Asa. |
Vanity upon Vanity. At timesI wonder if life is worth all the hustle and bustle. Imagine the body of a whole president general of a town thrown into the back of a rickety police van. Rip to the dead |
That is called humility. Something most of the younger generation today lack. |

Two young ladies working in a meat factory in USA where recently caught red handed with large quantities of stolen meat. Their ingenuity in smuggling the meat could only have originated from a Country with 7+IQ. See pictures and guess their Country of origin.

Another innocent child who must have miraculously escaped from the hands of human traffickers. Authorities should make exhaustive enquires before releasing her to anyone. It's not every couple that presents themselves as parents are true parents. The traffickers could as well be looking for her too. |
I have been reading almost on daily basis of people killing ordinary pythons and grasscutters but when you write posts that will promote National unity or educate the masses, it never makes Front Page. Forget how many likes and shares the post might attract. My question is this. Please is there a particular criterion for making FP or do you need to copy someone for your post to be considered for possible FP? Or is it all about the Nigeria factor? |
You nko? You be virgin? You that told her that you were a born again while in school, did you tell her how many people that you and your secret cult members killed in school? Abeg life is all about packaging. |
[quote author=Nonaira1 post=57417987]Nigerian is another somalia. You have no light, no food, no drinkable water, poor currency, poor economy, daily killing and fighting, terrorist group running rampage ...wtf makes una think you're different from somalia? WTF makes una think you have the right to speak ill of Biafra even your Nigeria is worse than Somalia[/quote ] It's so unfortunate that many people are so obsessed with this Biafran thing that they hardly follow events anymore. Has anyone bothered to ask why the vocal Kanu has suddenly become deaf and dumb? Ohaneze Ndi Igbo nipped it in the bud when they disowned Kanu but rather asked for restructuring. Umu nne m, let us reason. |
