Politics / Re: Poverty rate and Yoruba reasoning by Gracebae(f): 3:14pm On Oct 30, 2017 |
bakynes: You very funny, you are quick to remember the SE is small but forget that Lagos is actually the smallest state in the federation...again, how will you be comparing Lagos and the SE. Even if lagos has more multistorey than Anambra which in all sense I can agree but cant be more than the whole south east.Never!...If more than the whole south west, yes but Lagos can't have more multistorey building than the whole south east. Again stay on the key word. Multistorey building and not highrise buildings before hediots start misdirecting the argument . 1 Like |

1wolex85:mister speak for yourself OK. See, let me tell you authoritatively, it is easier to get a multistorey building to manage in the east than any other region in Nigeria Lagos inclusive. Lagos is already saturated with uncountable estate firms struggling for the multistorey building there unlike the east where the real estate industry is fast growing. If you get a 5storey building to the firm, depending on the design of the building, it is good as bring at least 10 flats. In some cases it may be 20flats if it is 4flats in each floor. Jide Taiwo, diya fatimileyi and my firm know this and it is only in the east you will easily get such properties relatively with time. Apart from Lagos, abuja and port Harcourt, Enugu vis a vis south south/ east have the biggest property market and still growing. 4 Likes |

1wolex85: You sound like a local, untravelled Yoruba boy who sees Lagos as the beginning and the end. Ikoyi that is more like a district. How many block of flats in festac? Same festac i know or where?you are even talking of 3storey, while Onitsha,Aba and Enugu alone are all commanding 4,5,6 and in some cases 7 storeys. How big is ikoyi or festac? Anyways, i leave you to your ignorance. Who am I to school you? You wonder why all the big southwest owned estate managment firms are running to the east and south south.. All the jide Taiwos, diya fatimileyin and co and a host of many more firms are in every city in the south east/south. In the east once you are able to convince a landlord to give you his property to manage, do you know what it means to your account statement? Travel Mister man. That's all I can say 2 Likes

Guestlander:not necessarily Mister, people also migrate for economic opportunities. What are the Chinese and Indians doing in africa? What of Nigerians in Togo, Benin, Cameroon, Niger, south Sudan etc? Are those countries better than Nigeria in standard of living? Again what of southerners in the north, does the north have a better standard of living than the south?

AnambraDota:well, I have travelled and stayed in all the southern region for a substantiable length of time, hence i can tell the difference in the regions and standard of living and for real, the south south and south east have higher standard of living and to add, housing is the singular most important indicator for measuring standard of living.

As for ebonyi, I have not been there but check this ipob rally video in abakaliki, you will notice the concentration of multistorey buildings on both sides of the road more like a boulevard even more than owerri by my guess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHD2BWgoGUc |

I have been to owerri and I didn't observe same pattern like it is in other states of the east. But one thing l for sure and a statement of fact, you cannot find bungalow. If you do, then its a government low income residential scheme. Like world bank estate and the likes It is from a storey building rising to 3,4 or 5. But not as much as it is in anambra,abia and Enugu. 1 Like |

It is common knowledge that having a high population density with limited land space, people will naturally develop their properties intensively. Similar pattern has been adopted even in Lagos especially in Igbo dominated areas of lagos and even outside Igbo dominated areas, if you check most landlords who owns most of the multi storey buildings,they are usually Igbos. A developmental practice they imported from the east. In fact,some Yoruba developers will tell you igbos taught us how to build storey buildings. And the new practice now in the absence of space/land. Some igbos go into agreement with stubborn Yoruba landlords who refuse to sell their house for redevelopment. The igbos go into agreement with them to let them fall the old house, rebuild it to multistorey, afterwards the down floor or topmost floor is given to the Yoruba landlord as the cos of land. Hence the Yoruba landlord has no say on the other stories, in the building. Am a practitioner in the estate management and development field and also studied estate management. So yes, I can speak with authority on such issues. 2 Likes

1wolex85: I suggest its better to do more research on that..personally, I won't speak for anambra but as someone who grew up in the east generally(port Harcourt to be specific) I can confidently tell you that south east has the highest concentration of multistorey residential building if not in sub Saharan Africa, then west Africa.,with Anambra,Enugu and Abia leading the park.

zenmaster: The Bible is for the Jews and not for the Jewish people God is dealing with the Israelites and not with the Israeli Jew. - descendant of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob Jewish - pretaining to be Jew Israelites - descendant of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob Israeli - descendants of khazar empire, who migrated in Israel in 1948 Who are the true Israelites according to prophesy in the Bible ? Moses lay down a prophesy that will identify the true Israelites that the Bible is all about This is how to identify the true Israelites KJV only Deuteronomy 28:68 68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with (ships) by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be (sold) unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. Exodus 20:2 2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Egypt is referred as , the house of bondage, a place of suffering. So the lord was simply telling our forefathers that if in future, they do not obey all these commandments, he will bring them into a place of suffering �slavery� again with �ships� and they shall be � sold � as slaves men and women So which nation of people or race of people went into slavery (bondage) with (ships) and were (sold) as bondsmen and bond women (slaves men and slave women) according to the bible and history Did Nigeria, Cameroon, Liberian, Togo, Sierra Leon, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ivory Coast, e.t.c and the rest of west African country went into slavery with ships and were sold as slaves ?? Yes, the blacks American, the blacks Brazilians, e.t.c ?? Did they go into slavery with ships and were sold as slaves ?? Yes Deuteronomy 28:46 46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. So, we are the Israelites that the Bible speak according to King James Version 1611 . We are the Israelites , the God chosen people . Amos 9;7 7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? So the Israelites that came out of slavery in Egypt are like the Ethiopians, are the Ethiopians white people ?? No. No. No The little cap on their heads, what does that signify? Where is that commanded by the lord in the Bible ?? The cloth they rap on their body , what does that signify ? where is that commanded by the lord , ?? Proverbs 3:5 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. |

Politics / Why I Believe Igbos Are Related To The Biblical Hebrews by Gracebae(f): 9:09pm On Aug 05, 2017 |
!) Igbos are the only tribe in Nigeria that answer names that are of God. like their chukwu names ..eg Nwachukwu meaning child of God, Ikechukwu meaning Armour of God 2) I heard there is a place in Enugu where they answer umuala eligwe, meaning children of heaven...well a friend of mine told me that, i dont know how true it is Igbos from Enugu can help me confirm that. 3) They still practice ' Osu ' just like in the bible. Others tribe use it to bash igbos not knowing that they are bashing the direct descendant of Abraham who himself and his descendants practiced Osu. Many Christians don't know that everything about igbo tradition is in the first five books of the bible.. Igbo tradition and religion followed Abrahamic codes from circumcision to marriage to burial to inheritance. They naturally practiced Judaism before the white men came with Christianity. 4) Again in the Jewish torah which is equivalent to the christian bible, the description of jesus in it was that of a black man. Judaism is older than Christianity mind you.. 5) If King Solomon was black and of Jewish descent and the Ethiopian Jews are blacks and the Egyptian Nubians who still exist till this moment are blacks why cant the biblical Hebrew Jews be lack too? 6) when the white men came,they noticed it and documented it and then tried to destroy and erase igbo history by telling them they have no history..But with enlightenment, exposure and available information, the igbos are aggressively getting to know more about their history, where they came from and redefining themselves religiously and culturally. 7)Americans calm to be God's own country. They are spiritually linked to the jews and was built on the labour of hebrews who were blacks and jews(igbos). Igbos,efiks and ibibios made up 60% of the all the black slaves taken to America through the bight of biafra. Infact igbo slaves were the most expensive and value(in this context, i am using igbo to represent igbos,efiks, ibibios and some ijaws because then it was the Portuguese who sold their slaves to the Americas and sold them as ibo because igbos were the majority). The Portuguese were already selling slaves 400hundred years before Britain discovered that part of the world. igbo slaves where seen as superior. That is why you see a lot of black American slangs emanated from Nigeria. eg Nigeria was named after nigger area. Ebony was derived from Ebo, it was used to differentiate the red ebo( which were the fair one). The fourth picture is an ancient Nsibidi writing used by the igbos, efiks and ibibios, in it also is the star of david symbol..It should also be noted that some of us ibibios also trace our migration too from isreal and we, efiks and igbos are the only natural fair people the white men saw when they came to this part of the world. they never imagine that very fair almost as white as them lived in africa. 5 Likes

Celebrities / Why Does Ghanaian Media Portray Christabel Ekeh As Ghanaian? by Gracebae(f): 11:40pm On Jul 18, 2017 |
Why does Ghanaian media portray Christabel Ekeh as Ghanaian despite having a Nigerian father? i just noticed that most times she is always portrayed as Ghanaian. She grew up and schooled in Ghana and made her inroad into Ghanaian entertain industry does not make her Ghanaian. this is the same way they claim Mr Eazi and Chinyere Yvonne Okoro, despite their Nigerianess both in name and culture. I dont see Nigerians claim victoria Kimani despite spending most of her life here in Nigeria...
