DOA

Again really? Dead on arrival? A POST THAT HAS RECORDED CLOSE TO 3000 VIEWS WITHOUT MAKING FP, dead on arrival ? Eyaa, wanted to ignore you and your tribal hatred but was forced to go to your PROFILE.
GUESS WHAT? JUST DISCOVERED THAT THE HIGHEST YOUR POSTS HAVE RECIEVED IS 300 VIEWS.
NOW DO YOU THINK I SHOULD CONTINUE EXCHANGING BANTERS WITH YOU? NAA, I CAN'T GO DOWN TO YOUR LEVEL

wordcat:
We hate our own, if this write up is about Mother Teresa; it would have gotten up to four pages by now

Someone should tell Sean, lalasticlala or Dominique to do the needful. Our children have the right to know about our own heroes and heroines.

My thanks to the Foundation but do we really love ourselves?
If N426k has not been involved, who would have provided free legal services for them? It's all about the cash bro.

God answers prayers. You prayed for a mother figure before leaving for camp and He provided one.
LESSON: Always talk to God before embarking on anything, be it a project, business, journey etc

Juliusmalema:
The issue concerns abia state, so stop dragging others in.

Really? All the six ethnic groups come from Abia State?
Please forgive me.

" ......Women from across Six ethnic groups were involved, the Igbos, Ibibio, Andoni, Ogoni, Bonny and Opobo....."

Despite all the tarnishing publicity, WHY AM I STILL MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU TONTO?

REMEMBERING NWAYEREUWA, NWANNEDIA, IKONNIA & NWUGO.

I’m sure 90% of Africans, Nigerians and mainly people of Igbo origin who read the headline of this post will be like who the hell are these people?
Yes we wouldn’t know them because we’ve been busy learning about their Mother Theresa and the fraudulent story of Mary Slessor.

On this day 89yrs ago, in the morning of November 18th 1929, a man called Emereuwa upon the directive of his boss Okugo the warrant chief, walked into the compound of a widow called Nwanyereuwa, ordered her for a census of all her livestock and household. The widow Nwanyereuwa knowing the census will determined how much she will be taxed by the British colonial government, embittered, shouted on Emereuwa “was your widowed mother at home counted?” An angry exchange ensued. Nwanyereuwa resentfully rushed down to the town and market square, consulted other disgruntled women, They with palm fronds quickly mobilised other women. And that marked the beginning of one of the greatest resistance, rebellion and uprising the British imperial colonial rule ever faced in Nigeria and Africa in general, Called “The Aba Womens Riot” otherwise known as #Thewomenwhowenttowar

While the men were subdued, while the man died in the men in the face of oppression and tyranny of colonialism. The women stepped up and in. Record has it that over ten thousand women were involved in this revolt, and about 50 women lost their lives in the war/riot. This resistance was orchestrated by ;
1) Persuasive #Ikonnia
2) Intelligent #Nwannedia
3) Passionate #Nwugo &
4) Wise, Counselling and strategic #Nwanyereuwa these were the women that led the Famous #AbaWomensRiot. Women from across Six ethnic groups were involved, the Igbos, Ibibio, Andoni, Ogoni, Bonny and Opobo

Hundreds of British colonial courts were burnt down and destroyed, hundreds of warrant chiefs were ostracised and banished. On the aftermath of the revolt, the British were forced to abandon the proposed plans to impose tax on the market women, powers of the warrant chiefs were considerably curbed and more robust room was created for women’s inclusiveness in the grand scheme of things. The Aba women’s riot was on the scale never seen before. It prompted, encouraged and inspired subsequent agitations like
1) The Tax protest of 1938
2) The Owerri & Calabar oil mill protest of the 1940s
3) The Onitsha Aba Tax revolt of 1956
Then consequently the Nigeria's independence in 1960.

But unfortunately sad, when you drive through Aba today, you will see Faulks road, in owerri you will see Wetheral Road and Douglas road all of them are colonial relics. Imo state government house is called Douglas house, named after Harold Morday Douglas, a brutal British colonial district commissioner who orchestrated the Ahiara expedition of 1905 that saw villages wiped out.
Today a governor in the south east is busy moulding statues of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia and Jacob Zuma of South Africa, that has no connection or historical relevance to the people of Imo State. We’ve seen streets, roads, government buildings and and schools named after strangers, monuments raised for people of little or no importance to our history and future. But the real heroes, heroins and legends have been relegated to obscurity, sent to oblivion in a complete sheer and crass negligence.

I hope that one day, the Igbos, Ibibios, Andonis, Ogonis, Opobos and Bonnis will have a leadership that will remember these women, the fifty that lost their lives and all that paid the ultimate price, immortalise them. I hope one day I shall see Nwanyereuwa road, Ikonnia hospital, Nwannedia secondary school and Nwugo Square. I hope to see us name our children after these legendary women and mothers and tell them the story.

Today 6th December 2018, I remember the women who didn’t only fight against an oppressive British colonial rule, but also had to fight their own men (Warrant chiefs) who chose the side of the Oppressor because of crumbs that fall from the table of master.

This generation of Nigerian s can hardly think straight except in issues concerning being rich overnight. I find nothing funny in his spelling and would have gladly scored him 0 over hundred percent.
For crying out loud, he was asked to SPELL NOT DEFINE
Nigeria!

CHANGE? You Will Be Shocked At What I Saw In This Govt. Office. (photos)

In a Country where it's extremely difficult to find any public office that actually works, I hardly expected much but my experience at Warri Passport Office left me stunned.

I have decided to share this because we as citizens owe it as a duty to bring to public knowledge the ills in our public institutions. In same vein, posterity will hold us accountable if we do not commend those that at least tried to make a difference. Having been away from the Country for close to a decade, I have decided to come back home a little earlier and uppermost in my agenda was the renewal of my Nigerian passport. At Lagos ,my siblings had advised that I handle the renewal when I got into my good old town of Warri as the town now boasts of a Passport Office. I actually agreed to this with mixed feelings knowing what the hustle and bustle of anything Warri used to be like. Few days after I arrived Warri, I left for the passport office not knowing what to expect in the company of my two siblings.

My first shock came when at the main gate of the Delta State Government House Annex, manned by different security agencies, a young Immigration officer almost magically appeared beside the passenger door of my car and politely asked; " sir, how may we help you?" For the first few seconds, I was pleasantly surprised and wondered if this was happening in the same Nigeria we have been reading so much filth about.

On realising that I had come to renew my expired passport, this same man politely directed us where to park the car and proceeded with us in tow to where he called the 'servicom' desk. By this time, I had taken a quick assessment of the environment and besides a sign on the wall that reads, "welcome to Warri Passport Office" , there was nothing to tell me I was in a Passport office. I mean, no crowd, no hustling and bustling that is synonymous with your average passport office. At this point, I have become very apprehensive. My mind kept screaming, scam!

Anyway, now at the servicom desk, I met about two people already filling out forms and I joined them while wondering where everyone else was if truly I was in the right place. Few minutes later, one of the officers at the desk ushered us into a fully air conditioned semi hall where over fifty people were comfortably seated watching a news channel on a wide LCD television. Again, I wondered but this time at the serenity and orderliness of the crowd. Something definitely is not right, I reasoned. Then, just as we were settling down, a voice came through the speakers installed somewhere: " Attention please , Numbers.....to....,please move to room 3 to collect your passports". I was still wondering if truly this was Nigeria when another voice called out this time a set of names directing them to two different rooms conspicuously marked SCREENING AND APPROVALS. The orderliness was so amazing that for a moment, I realised that this Country can work again. By now, my inquisitive mind was asking so many questions and as if in answer to one of these numerous questions, a young lady in well fitted uniform emerged from the room marked 'screening and walked briskly into the room marked 'approval'. She emerged from the room in less than two minutes and in very clear voice called out about ten names of people that she asked to follow her for capturing.

I was stunned and took a quick glance at my wrist watch as people left the room in batches creating room for new entrants like myself. My watch revealed that I had spent about forty two minutes when I heard my name over the speakers. I quickly entered the room that I was directed to and met about four busy officers again in an air conditioned room. The interview was brisk, thorough BUT professional.

In all it took an hour and 52 minutes from the time I sat down at the servicom desk to submit my application before my number was announced to go to room 3 for collection of my passport.

Albeit this sounds too good to be true, I must confess that till this moment of writing, I am still wondering how a public office in Nigeria can be so organised , comfortable , courteous and efficient.

Definitely, all hope is not lost in this Country, trust me.

This is how revolutions are born.

Ideas are not killed with bullets but with reason.

The forceful display of oppression earned Ipob the sympathy they enjoy today across the globe. Now the Shites are getting more popular with the constant needless attacks on them.

I didn't even know anything like Shites existed and now, I just pity them and wish that they would stop getting killed for no reason at all. It's not like I care about their religion, but life, especially human life ought to be valued more than this.

I agree with you on the sanctity of life. But when a particular group constantly engages the armed forces of a Nation in unprovoked attacks, please what's the option?

Hm

Foolish idiots, something is wrong with both of u,.. For saying this to these kids.
Typical online dumb Nigeria youths.

Not all actresses are "slayqueens"
There are reasonable ones who are married and are responsible.

Nne oma, nwayo biko

If PMB had done this, no one would have termed it "simplicty", it would have been an aboki disgracing Nigeria.

Too many churches in Nigeria..which one is mercyland again? We keep building churches everyday while others are building industries

Which one is Mercy land again ? Which planet did you just arrive from?

For a University student, your 'english' has just added to my worries for what our educational institutions are presently churning out but that's not the issue here.
You apparently have a good heart but your security consciousness level is Zero.
First, you have told us the amount of money you picked, how it was packaged and finally the denomination of the currency.
HOW THEN CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE TRUE OWNER?
Some might argue that you did not divulge information of the location but that will not suffice as the real owner might have visited several places the same day he/she lost the money.
My humble opinion is that you keep the money for yourself, because guys no dey smile and will give you loads of fake evidences just to lay their hands on that money .

Real man. Not the 'testing, testing the microphone' that you see everywhere in camp.
Best of luck to you two

I hear you. Hunger never visit you before. As you resign , did she resign with you ? Anyway, only beasts hit women.

Finally. I have been wondering how much longer they would have waited. Is not a shame that educated people would be arguing like dafts.
How can a woman who gave up her father's name just for getting married to your brother and bore you beautiful children suddenly become a stranger?
At times like this, I recall my earlier posts that we will be worse off as Biafrans. Imagine Bianca Ojukwu suddenly becoming an Ngwo indigine just because of her desire to serve the only people she has known as kinsmen for the better part of her adult life. Ikemba Nnewi must be turning in his grave by now. What a shame!
Dame Bianca Ojukwu, you have my vote and that of many others. Let's do this.
Haters, ihere megbue unu. Who Jah bless, no one can curse.

A Muslim brother, friend and colleague shared this and I couldn't help but wonder why we still hate ourselves because of religion if a true Muslim believes in the contents of the Holy Bible.
Please religious and tribal bigots, your comments are not needed.
Happy Sallah to everyone.

THE ORIGIN OF (LEYYA) SALLAH ANIMAL SACRIFICE IN ISLAM

Genesis 22:11-13

but the angel of the LORD called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
“Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
"Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a RAM caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, “I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed,because you have obeyed me.”

Genesis 12:3

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” says the lord

Quran 22:37

Their meat will not reach Allah , nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you.

I would have lived to help save your marriage but then you do not have any marriage in the first place. At least not any longer.
Be a man and end the stupid union with her. Trust me, you can live again.

Why is it that when it comes to married women and their insatiable appetite for everything, even our most outspoken women in Nairaland usually become silent ?
I pity the husband who was out there struggling just to be able to take provisions back to an ungrateful wife.
May God save us from the Delia h's of this generation.

Any luck in locating d young lad?

No lucky so far

Just because APC won blood has already started flowing. APC has this bad omen following them which causes people to KILL themselves.

I Pray we don't fall victim of their evil spirit Amen

Note: Mercy can't locate him because Their is no repentance in the grave

Do you honestly think that this is a wise assumption? Think outside the box?
What if this man was an upright and righteous man and suddenly became scared of what will happen to his reputation if THE THINGS HE HAD BEEN FORCED TO DO UNDER THE EXITING GOVERNMENT BECOMES PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
What if he was even thrown into that well because of that fb post by people who are afraid he was about to sing.

Today, I came across a picture of a young handsome boy dressed in rags and bathed with sand. In his poverty, his self confidence and contentment speak volumes. My heart is touched. Please can those with the resources help locate this lad.
I honestly believe that with a little help, this young boy will be a blessing to many in future.
Take a look and tell me that you do not think that I am right

Your corner in hell is being prepared. You don't need to worry about heaven
