THIS IS. OBOTOR. click like if you understand

I thought 'Obotor' describes a snake of the python family (i.e Esan?) From the descriptions I get from those who actually ate it growing up in the village, I think it describes a constrictor rather than a viper. Not sure though, my largest regret till this day, I wish i could speak my language better.

Spotted earlier today.

This is NOT a honda problem.

This problem is extremely rare with Toyota and Nissan vehicles. It's most common with Honda. Just ask anyone who has driven a Honda for sometime. Just this morning I saw another Honda like that at the gate of my estate. If you count one Toyota with this problem them you would have counted a hundred plus Honda's! This is the frank truth everyone knows. IT IS A HONDA PROBLEM!

It's not everything that fits into the mouth one chews

That goat won't digest in the snake's system thereby leading to the ultimate demise of the snake

Who told you the goat won't digest? That's how pythons and other constrictors feed. Even the horn and hide cannot stand the extremely acidic gastric juice of that reptile. With that meal it can stay for months without feeding. I recommend National Geographic for you. And you have 20likes?wow! For this misinformation? Na wa O!

why is it that most northerner are fond of travelling in thousand arraiging themsevles in trailer? R.i.p to the dead.

What are you saying?

uchwar1:
u are a tribalist. Who stopped u from mentioning any producing state u know. Must u show ur hatred here? Anuofia!

You are right I suppose. I just tried to explain some realities to the fellow. This tribalism will take us no where. That the Ibo man is gifted towards production and enterprise does not make him better! Every tribe and by extension everyone has a gifting and should grow it! This is pure inferiority complex.

DaBullIT:
The suggestion is from a Ibo , which is why i won't lend it any credibility

Aba is not the only place where leathers are made


Trust me , they make durable leathers in north , maybe not to a shoe , but yes they do

Palm wine is general to everyone in Nigeria

e.t.c



The summary would have been better without mentioning individual states or cities


Lord Lugard was right merging Nigeria , i hope you see one simple analysis

Leather from North , Workmanship from SS/SE , Sales in S.W


One Nigeria

The sooner we stopped all this tribalism the better for us O! It is very obvious that the Ibo's are way ahead in terms of producing those items the OP talked about. For Pete sake that's why you hear of the phrase "Aba made". I am not Ibo let me say before another tribalistic individual would quote me out of context. The OP did not say they produce leather in Aba now! Read well. Everybody knows hide is mostly from the cattle in the north. The OP is talking about goods produced from leather. Did you get the difference now? I'm not just saying! I have been to the Ariaria international shoe market in Aba myself. That was in 2010. You would be amazed at what you would see there! Those guys can fabricate a shoe for you in under an hour! Just tell them what you want. And it's not just about who makes what. These guys not only produce but control the economics in terms of distribution, sales, etc. I'm not saying there is no leatherwork in the north O! I have used a wallet made in Zaria.
Every tribe has something to contribute, yours might not be manufacturing, it doesn't make the Ibo man better than you. Identify your own too and grow it. The Ibo's have that natural gifting from God I believe. Let's stop arguing the obvious.

UrbanMystique:
Disvirgin should be added to dictionary. I mean mainstream dictionaries like oxford or Webster.

Though, not only Nigerians use disvirgin. it's even in some online dictionary.

It sounds more meaningful than disflowered .. Which flower she carry wey you dey dis .. Mtchewww

You just invented a new word O! It's not disflower but deflower abi?

kokoA:
Hmm.. Dis one look like arrangee something o

Of course it is! Take a close look at those boys. They are definitely children of wealthy or elite parents! And please for Pete sake why is that fresh boy not wearing shoes now? We are not small children now?

I found it very tasking reading your article. You mixed up your tenses so much so that you left me confused most of the time as to what message you were trying to pass across. I understand you made an attempt at narrating but you would need to do a much better job next time.

I think it's really a laudable work. It's a great conservation effort. Those bottles would have found their ways into the water ways, roads etc and constitute a major environmental pollutant.

Success story from Ministry of Agriculture
 
The Anambra State Ministry of Agriculture has successfully assisted some rural farmers export  pumpkin leaves (Ugu) and bitter leaves (Onugbu) into United Kingdom on the 21st Jan 2016. This was done in partnership with some offtake and logistic companies.
 
To achieve this, the  Federal Quarantine Agency visited Anambra severally to inspect and certify various farms to ensure they are fit for the purpose. The first set of participating farmers have been trained to produce vegetables of high quality without applying fertilizers and other chemicals. The vegetables are therefore classified as 100% organic. 
 
This is only the beginning as plans are on top gear to increase vegetable production exponentially and make Anambra a top vegetable export state.

This is excellent. Keep it up! One thing I love the igbos for, an extremely resilient and hardworking people. Good job!!

busomma:
Absolute rubbish. This is the type of stories pastors in Nigeria tell their congregations & the gullible will believe it. How's it scientifically possible for a woman to carry pregnancy for that long without doctors intervention? No labor inducement, no c section? They (doctors) just sit & watch. Tell that story to the dogs & the collectively hypnotized,illiterate & spiritually bankrupt Nigerians who erroneously belive they will tithe their way out of poverty.

Science does not have all the answers O. There are still a lot of mysteries unanswered. I'm a Christian, I don't tithe because I'm yet to see where my Bible tells me to in the new covenant. I support the church financially in other ways. Finally I am a medic and have worked several years in clinical practice at the tertiary level. I have indeed seen a few cases like this. They are very rare but true. One of the cases even happened to another clinician! The child was born with full teeth set, fully developed hair and terribly scaly skin after spending two and a half years in the womb! It's still a mystery till today. Please don't let science define your boundaries. A lot of the answers science has propounded in the past keep changing, nothing is absolutely certain, there is more than meets the eyes.

its gradual process sir.


We go soon graduate enta dat 1

You are a wise one. I wish you success then. Make this year 2016 a good one for both of you.

Karlovich:
This is what lack of certificate causes. What else would they expect from a president with an IQ equivalent to the cattles in daura. Buhari is a dictator who is not fit to rule in a democratic society

Let's stop this. It's not good to refer to your president in such remarks. I don't believe he has a low IQ. I did not insult GEJ and his wife either. It is my personal belief that to insult an adult like this is counter productive and yields no good. How would you feel if I called you daft? For example cattle is already plural what is 'cattles'? How would you feel if I went further to question your educational qualifications? Or to claim that because of this error it's likely you cheated in your WAEC to pass English? It would all be baseless. Im not for APC or PDP or any other party.

skywalker240:
hahahaha i was once in dis situation and she needed space.....ur wife still loves u she just need to regain her mind due to dat shock.. thats women 4 u, they are easily hurt emmotionally. well 4 beta 4 worse they say,so marriage should not be smooth at all times.
Giv her some space sha, but make e no pass dat day oo then go pamper am well well and try and devote ur time to pleasin her dat week.

But if i may ask, WHAT HAPPENED TO WALKING AWAY PART?...works 4 me and my GF nowadays (cos d only day i hit her i was so mad at myself i lost concertration dat whole day i realy hate hittin women so took that bold step of always walkin away)

We are talking wife and you are talking GF. Make a commitment and marry that woman then come and give your contribution.

Which hospital be that one now? Can't the OP do a little research to give credibility to his post? That's a terrible mistake!
As for the boy. I'm totally distraught. Such a terrible thing to happen.

pesty100:
I was in afternoon class yesterday when my biro stopped working, so i decided to go and collect the biro I gave to my friend before the lecture. I stood up and went to the where my friend was sitting meanwhile the lecturer was in at the back of the class receiving call. I thought to my self that I would collect the biro and explain the reason for my standing up to him but before I could do that; he called me and asked me the reason I stood up, I explained to him and he said I should get out of his class. Before I could reach the door he asked me to come back and give him my name and matric no; which I did, then he sent me outside and said I should never come for any of his other lectures or test. He conducted a test for us that same evening which true to his instructions I didn't come for. He would have said I shouldn't come for exams if not for the fact that the course is being taken by two lecturers so he only has 50% on grading us.

So does the punishment fits my crime?

And what steps can I take so that this man won't bully me.

am nt a girl.

I've learnt a lot in this life. You would be surprised. The issue looks really minor but the manner of approach is really all that matters. How did you respond to the lecturers inquiry? Your report does not sound complete at all. It's also possible that you have 'committed ' before this incident. So with this one is like your cup don full. Please don't tell us what happened, tell us really what has been happening.

bashsani:
you are joking there is already an on going debate on the authenticity of the bible a lot of u are out of idea resorting to u only understand thru the holy spirit when the holy spirit cud not inspire a single report of the bible. I don't argue on this lane pls join the debate it's on the fp

Do I sound like a joke to you? Do you know who the Holy Spirit is? You speak of what you know nothing of and yet with such arrogance. I have nothing more to say to you. I have indeed said all I should. If someone said he found controversies in the Bible, get a bible and read it yourself see the context and applications and then you will see clearly. I have followed a lot of those so called controversies and it's a shame. The length people go to see what is not there. Read for yourself. You are free to comment on but on my final note I still want to emphasize, if all that Parisbookaddict wrote about your prophet as recorded in the Koran is true, then if you are a decent human being, you would agree with me that your prophet is not worthy of emulation. The world would be such a terrible place with more like him. God has blessed me with children. God forbid that any of my son's wives be sexually attractive to me! God forbid! God forbid that I would look upon a child with sexual intent! Oh! God forbid!! That kind of insanity uncommon even in the animal kingdom. God forbid! You should even be ashamed of yourself. If I must then I will follow that Prophet of whom is recorded no sin. I am proud of the kind of life Jesus lived.

bashsani:
what authenticity are u talking about,is there any authentic book other than the Noble Quran authored by God himself, the book has never undergone any concoction unlike the Bible that has undergone various versions and changes. Tell me can you read the Bible with its original dialect it was written or do u think the bible is English, some words even misinterpreted not to talk of erased words

It is unnecessary to learn Hebrew or Greek or Latin to be able to understand what God has spoken through the mouth of His prophets. (Even though I have access to copies of these original texts and sometimes during Bible study I refer to them for clarity.) God created all languages. None is special above the other. Know also that a translation is not necessarily a distortion but an attempt to present information in such a way that the language communication barrier is overcome. It is not the intention in translation to distort or deceive. As civilizations come and go, even language itself tends to evolve, it becomes difficult to truly understand certain texts with contextual meanings and proverbs. Today we have bibles written in Nigerian languages! So when you say concoction, well again that's what you have been told. You have no proof and you have been careless enough to accept it as fact without personal investigation. God speaks all languages. He speaks mine fluently! I don't need to speak a particular language for Him to understand me. If that is how you have reduced your God then it's really unfortunate. I don't believe that any other book outside of the Holy Bible, is the Word of God. It is the original, the first. It has been quizzed by scholars, proven true by science. Archeologists and historians have been guided to ancient ruins by studying the bible. I have been privileged to visit the Holy Land of Israel, I've seen things for myself. Countless prophecies have been fulfilled and are being fulfilled. It contains a most wonderful message of truth. The message of salvation and redemption and restoration. There is healing and deliverance and victory over sin all contained therein. I hope you have a bible? Read it! Many have done so in order to find controversies only to discover truth and liberation.

bashsani:
the Quran did not falsify any book instead it just the complement of the message just like there old testament,new testament the Quran is the final testament. U mention other tell me any that is as popular as the Quran

I speak with Bashsani because unlike most others of his lot, he seems to answer with some decorum. Otherwise I don't usually waste my time for these kind of things. There is an old and new testament. That's what I know. Complement? Your book contradicts the new testament in many ways you should know. Jesus was very clear about whom He would be sending after Him. It's definitely not your prophet because he failed the basic test, he is dead and buried. The Spirit of God whom Jesus promised to send after Him has been with us since the day of Pentecost in the book of Acts. Your final testament does not exist. The new testament is complete as it is. When Jesus died on the cross according to the will of Almighty God He said "it is finished!" as He breathed His last. Of course all these are edited out of your book and you are told again that the Bible we have today is not original. You forget that we still have the original ancient texts and manuscripts with us delicately preserved. And about popularity of the books, I will leave you to statistics and Google. The Koran does not even come close to the Bible in terms of popularity, best selling and distribution statistics. This is not disputable please check your statistics very well as this is a well known fact. When you say things like this it negatively affects the credibility of the other statements you have made.

how I wish He(SAW) actually ordered us to kill pagans

He actually did. Feel free go ahead and join the others who have read and are doing according as they have read. There are many groups, all Islamic in origin you can pick from. Go ahead, rape, kill, maim in God's name.

bashsani:
not told learned it's in the Quran there was zabura given to David attaura given to Moses Injila that's the bible given to Jesus and Quran given to Muhammad peace be upon Him. As a muslim I must believe in all the prophets including jesus and i must believe in all books including bible

I totally understand what you mean. My point is still valid. That's what you are told by the Koran isn't it? And it's your choice to believe the authenticity of the Koran above books like the Bible that came before it. You have no evidence except that you have chosen by faith to belive the book just like I have absolutely faith in my Bible as God's holy word.
We were not there when these books were written many years ago. Thank you for your useful contribution.

even isa is coming back to diee like evry man and he will also b judge accordly, even idris is not yet dead what the devil that is still living up till now does that makes him a better creature. And don't tell me to browse any compromised site I'm already learned

That's what you are told. You are not learned. The fear is that you might discover the truth if you investigate. I challenge you to verify the authenticity of what you have been taught.

bashsani:

That's what you are told.

mulattoclaro:
Hahahhaa. Igbo people are very funny. Even this failed actor still wants to talk. PMB has really changed. Imagine if it was when he was a head of state, this Kenneth Okonkwo would have been thoroughly flogged.

Meanwhile you have dodged the issue. Igbo people are funny? Seriously? That's what you can come up with? Failed actor? If you want to be taken seriously, next time make a little effort to engage your intelect, I sincerely believe you are smarter than this.

bashsani:
I will simply direct u to check zakir naik lecture on reasons why jesus was not crucified.even in our modern society there is a way each evil is checked and that is how islam checks on adultery and u shud only those that re married and fornicating

It's because you don't understand why Jesus came in the first place. He came to die for the sins of the world according to the will of God. He was crucified, he died and rose again on the third day still according to the will of God. He carried my sin and yours to that cross and paid the ultimate price so that you and I can have access to God. So that He might reestablish a relationship with God which was cut off because of original sin in the garden. A book comes over 500 years after to teach without proof that it is a lie and you believed. I think the pattern is simple. The original comes first and then the counterfeits come afterward. So many other religions have books which are still basically twisted texts from the Bible.

bashsani:
I quote 19:19 the Angel said I am only a messenger from ur lord to announce you the gift of a righteous son. So tell where it was said he was faultless without sin
Caption this verse 5:116-119 God will interrogate jesus

Can you boldly tell me based on what your book teaches that Isa was with sin? So that we can now know what the problem really is. Plus I hope you have visited the website?
http://www.islam-101.org.
Your prophet is dead and buried awaiting judgement. Isa is glorified in heaven as we speak, and not according to the Bible but the Koran. Surely there has to be more to this prophet O. In your book he is described also as the messiah.

geesilver:
lovely pix but the guy no try ooo. worwor pass our mai guard mallam danjuma.

That's not his problem. It's yours.

bashsani:
quote ur evidence where it was sais he was without sins

He was faultless, without sin. Sura 19:19. To all the other prophets including Muhammed was accorded sin but never Isa.
The Hadith also records that Jesus was sinless. Muhammad himself believed this! It is recorded in Sahih Muslim (Vol 4, pg 1261):

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (saw) as saying: The satan touches every son of Adam on the day when his mother gives birth to him with the exception of Mary and her son.
And there is a lot more!

fvcking wise statement. You r good

The thing tire me O! You see them breathing fire and foaming like an epileptic patient simply because someone expressed a contrary opinion to what they have been taught in the Islamic school. I have met them one on one and here on NL. Some of them have become Christians. Me I no send vex O, I talk it as it is and ask my questions as they come. OK. See those points parisbookaddict raised, did you notice that no Muslim here has said they are untrue? They just say you don't understand. What's there to understand? We are talking about the kind of life someone lived! So fresh question; how the hell can one say he belongs to a religion with a prophet of such a reputation? So he actually did those things and yet has followers! I can't explain this, it's baffling. And yet the same book they read speaks of another prophet Isa, who was described as sinless. Would a holy God send such a prophet with his message? Na question I ask O!

uwajeh:
We must accept that there are differences in both religions and move on.

The Bible is clear that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. In other words Jesus and God are one along with the Holy Spirit and Christ is the way the truth and the light and no one can see the Father except through Christ.

On the other hand the Koran says that there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet.

There is a clear distinction between both religions and let's just accept our differences and forge ahead.

Uwajeh thank you. God bless your brain even more to continue to talk sense! We must learn to live with our differences.
