Apart from all this, what I'm wondering, why are all the placards in the photos of the demonstration above written in the same handwriting... At times those kind of things are faked (even if of course, there are more than "enough" muslims who are in favour of the kind of views that are expressed there)

Unfortunately in Europe, hardly anybody sees the dangers from Islam, apart from generally stupid people who are against foreigners on the whole... Everybody is like "human beings kill human beings, it is not a religion that kills human beings" or "islamic fanatism doesn't have ANYTHING to do with islam" (how cute...Unfortunately then a lot of muslims just don't seem to understand their religion, or don't know enough about "real" islam... And isn't a religion dangerous where it's sufficient to be uneducated/little educated/ or meeting the wrong friends/ or being influenced during a difficult period of one's life.... etc. etc. etc. to become a terrorist, or at least to support terrorist ideas? And apart from that, how many muslims in general, who are not terrorists, have values that are NOT compatible to a free, modern, democratic society?)

The people who don't see islam as harmless, but are not against foreigners in general, either, seem to be few, unfortunately


edit ? Why isn't someone allowed to write "s t u p i d" here, and it is automatically changed to "silly"....Really a bit exaggerated.

anything thats offensive to islam will not make the homepage

incredible... As if there are no reasons to "offend" Islam... Nigeria is just a nonsense country. Anyway, why should people like the Igbos, for example, and other Christians be forced to be in one country with the northerners....Even if there are also good people among them... (oh yes, of course it makes perfect sense, because of the oil and similar things, and also because Europe and Co. like it that way, for the same reason...)

Wow bigfrancis, this is very interesting... Thank you so much !

Thanks for your reply

Does anyone else know something concerning this?

I thought this beach would be worth going there from Port Harcourt, but with the comments saying it is dirty in general/with a lot of rubbish, or that one has the feeling of walking on dirt there, or even that the locals use the beach as a latrine, I don't think it's worth it ( Even if there are very positive comments as well

my God... And I thought something like this doesn't exist in Nigeria.... This is NOT progress!!!

Hi, how would you translate the Igbo names Ohuakanwa and Agoha? Thanks

Any more opinions/translations? Thanks

It would also generally interest me how Igbos' surnames came into existence/how they got their names;

and more specifically in the case of Ohuakanwa

I'm not the poster of the thread : D , I just know some things about them because I had some of them years ago... They are funny loveable little creatures for the most part

lol @ reaky.... Though in Peru where they come from originally, people do eat them

@ Prodeegee One should always keep two together at least , because they live in groups and one guinea pig on its own will be extremely lonely

Hi , I'm from Germany, my husband is a Nigerian and we consider moving to Nigeria some time in the future; till now, it is rather hypothetic, but if we do, I would like to take my horse with me;

does anyone know if there are any good opportunities for keeping horses near Enugu, Calabar, or Port Harcourt?

(preferably not the unnecessarily expensive/stupid luxury polo club type, but just something local without luxury (of course horses don't need that, just some owners....) where horses can be well kept (like a sturdy solidly built shed that is open on one side and big enough for several horses, where they can walk in and out as they like) and getting the necessary feed won't be a problem; with enough space/pastures to run, and preferably a nice area with paths where one can ride across the country in the vicinity)

Perhaps just with a farmer who has some horses himself, or where tourist horses are kept?...Though however, security might also be an issue, of course....I'm afraid I'm sounding very naive lol (I haven't been to Nigeria yet) , but perhaps someone here knows more about these things and could tell me.... Thanks in advance

Thank you, bigfrancis.... Yes, it is Agoha without a u

Are there any more translations/opinions for the names ?

@ Prodeegee

However, apart from all this, you can't compare a cockroach, an ant, a mosquito....whatever in that field, to an animal like a hen or a cow.... And it doesn't matter if that kind of animal is considered as a pet or not, the pain it feels from the described treatment is the same! An animal feels pain just like a human being! And they "are" not just meat, they are living beings.... I'm not trying to tell people in Nigeria to become vegans (even if someone doesn't miss anything when it comes to taste and diversity of the food, and it would be beneficial to people's health), but if someone wants to eat an animal, it should be at least treated kindly/without inflicting pain or fear on it, and slaughtered as fast and painless as possible.

(if someone wants to comment now that even this shouldn't be taken into consideration because human beings suffer, too, did the animals do anything to cause human suffering? Is it their fault? They are not supposed to be as important as human beings, nor their wellbeing as important as of human beings, but they are also living beings with a soul (as, at last, a pope admitted....I just love this new pope from everything he does), some of them even very gentle and loving and intelligent (also part of hens and cows, for instance....not just cats, dogs & co. ), and innocent, and do not deserve to be treated in an unnecessarily cruel way; also if I had the chance to be in Nigeria and I'd see an animal treated like azimibraun described, I would address the person in a friendly way and asking him/her to do it in a different way if possible....without making these kind of things my f*cking PRIORITY, but helping people; and also making more people there to understand in which ways Europe and Co. are the root cause/or even direct cause behind most of Nigeria's problems)

F*ck .... I as a German, who deeply loves animals (I'm also a vegan), am really shocked and disgusted with this post.... With all the horrible things that are happening to HUMAN BEINGS in Nigeria, people being killed anyhow, and the horrible poverty that makes even babies to die of hunger, etc. etc., your first concern, after corruption, is animals/the kind of things you described? (and we aren't even talking of things like factory farming or "modern" slaughterhouses, or deliberate torture of animals here, like in Europe and elsewhere....

But of a treatment that, like you wrote, might take like 30 minutes....Or let it be some hours, or even a day, in the case of the cows... Hens, cows, etc. in Nigeria normally have a very happy and free life nearly till the end, while many human beings there suffer horribly for their whole lifetime Or at least lead a life without the slightest perspective? Then at that, you want the treatment of animals to be the second concern after corruption?)

From your name and everything, you must be a European or from somewhere else in the so-called "first world" /western world, just like myself.... Why not rather being concerned, for example, with the horrible things that are happening in Nigeria and other African countries INSTIGATED BY OUR GOVERNMENTS , to try to ensure that they will be able to continue enslaving and exploiting Africa (and being the main causes for the continued chaos, poverty, deaths for various reasons, in Nigeria, through their manipulations and working together with unscrupulous politicians), instead of THE WAY HENS ARE CARRIED THERE9) Anyway, I wonder how that kind of mindset, and being interested in Nigerian politics at all, goes together.... Are you living in Europe and have a Nigerian boyfriend perhaps? Who doesn't have a clue himself about what is going on, or who just says the kind of things you like to hear?

*edit* Of course from what you wrote, you have seen this treatment of the animals yourself, so you must be actually living in Nigeria....Which makes your post even more shocking

I don't want to offend anyone, but as I don't know anything about the standard of general hospitals in Nigeria when it comes to diagnosis and immediate treatment after a stroke, can someone tell me if a general hospital normally has facilities for assessing the type of stroke, and to see what area of the brain is affected?

And are general hospitals able to deal sufficiently with strokes in general?


Thank you very much in advance for your help and God bless you

Hello, I am from Germany; my husband's beloved mum in Nigeria had a stroke two days ago She is in a hospital near Mbaise or Owerri at the moment;

does anybody know of a good hospital that is specialized in that field in Port Harcourt, Imo State, Anambra....?

(Port Harcourt would be best as my husband's sister lives there with her family and could take care of her)



Besides, can anybody whose family member, friend....already suffered from a stroke give advice and share his/her experience, e.g. concerning the days immediately after the stroke, and the rehabilitation (and how, and where it was conducted),

and if there is anything even a family member could do in that respect (like giving massages; I know it sounds a bit ridiculous when something like stroke is concerned, but who knows, perhaps there is something that has a beneficial effect and could already be done before she is transferred to a specialized hospital)?
