Moved to Culture section

Where was it before? From 2011.

I think I posted in this thread way back when. Christmastime.

macof:
Someone should do something about all the nonsense this man is posting here
I thought a Mod was following this thread

It's a bunch of bullsh!tt! I can't even read any of his posts here all the way through. Never even saw his moniker before.

You don't need a mod to deal with his fuckups. Just treat him like the bum he is.

DeCleff:
You are free to be na. But i won't give u what was specially prepared for my guests after giving u all u request for to make adequate provision for all guests including the ones coming with me to the event.

Secondly, if u waiting for me, a stranger who travelled several kilometers to ur place to get up and serve u then u are not ready to eat.

If i may ask, what kind of useless culture/tradition that will suggest a guest from afar to serve u on ur own house?

Its not just about the food; you guys escalated things by your reaction and counterreactions. You could have handed things better before it got out of hand.

DeCleff:
Honey where are u from? I'm sure someone can get a wife at 10k

My elder brother married from Mbano where he spent atleast N1m to settle the entire list. About N300k was also made available to the girls's parents for traditional marriage item 7.
He made additional provision for food specially for our people who travelled with him to Mbano. Few women travelled to Mbano a day before the traditional marriage to prepare our ceremonial native soup( Okazi Soup Ikwerre Version) so that when our people arrives they will eat their preferred soup.

There was a drama when my sisters were serving food to our people, first, Mbano people said that in their custom that we who came all the way from PH will be the ones to serve them food on their own soil. We told them that such thing can never happen. Secondly, they left the afang soup that was prepared for them and demanded for our Okazi Soup Ikwerre Verson, we told them no way that they should eat what their people prepared for them and leave us alone.

They got angry and started calling us greedy and stingy Ikwerre people and that they wont allow any Ikwerre guy to marry from mbano again.


Who send them?

I'm on their side. Sorry.

periwyte2:
I am an Ogoni man, married to an ogoni woman... and i tell you that this Picture Is false. Ogoni women don't go naked on Their wedding day.

Thank you, sir. I always have interest in Ogoni culture since reading that they are one of the oldest settlement in Nigeria and many tribes may have come from them.

Dammit, OP, warn people next time before opening such thread! I was in the library with a few people within view of my laptop screen, and directly in front of the children section - no kids were there.

I was so excited wanting to see picture of traditional Ogoni wedding attire. Anyway, nothing wrong with it; it's tradition (maybe not Ogoni). Just let people know there will be naked pics in there. Walahi!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogoni_people
According to oral tradition, the Ogoni people migrated from ancient Ghana down to the Atlantic coast eventually making their way over to the eastern Niger Delta. Linguistic calculations done by Kay Williams place the Ogoni in the Niger Delta since before 15 BC, making them one of the oldest settlers in the eastern Niger Delta region. Radiocarbon dating taken from sites around Ogoniland and the neighboring communities oral traditions also support this claim

". . . arrested for thumb-printing ballot papers at a private residence during the gubernatorial election rerun. . . "

What's the evidence? I don't see anywhere in the article that a "thumb-printing machine" was found.

Salam, TBaba!

I just love Stella. I am telling you.

Really? Why?

Shi!!t like that happens everywhere; not just in Nigeria. She wouldn't have been appointed again by any governor or president after all the controversy, but if her constituencies vote her in an election, then there is nothing you can do. As long as she is constitutionally eligible for the office and the electoral commission rules does not bar her candidacy. Remember, in the USA, the voters of Washington DC reelected Marion Barry as mayor even after he was shown on camera doing drugs.

njays24:
I can see that most of them are pdp members,especially the one representing ajeromi/ifelodun constituency who is igbo,that is really nice. I'm looking forward to seeing a yoruba person representing delta state someday. In delta,we have ibos,ijaws,itshekiri/yoruba,urhobo etc.

Is she really Igbo? She could be of any tribe, but married to an Igbo man. Lots of Naijas have European first or second names. But if she is Igbo, that's good for Lagos's rep.

Next I want to see Afam4eva as Governor of Lagos State. Afam, it will happen. Just keep saying No to tribalism. I support you wella. You know it. Start preparing yourself, bros. In 2023, we will travel all over Lagos. . . covering every nook and cranny . . . visiting all the towns big and small. . . even that ornery Mayoroflagos will be there routing for you. . . . a massive unprecedented raucous campaign! I know you speak fluent Yoruba, better than me anyway almost as well as me. We will campaign everywhere and make history. Hip Hip! Hurray!!! The Honorable Afam Moderator. You can banish Seun from the internet and take over Nairaland.

Takim107:
I'll sure be among this list someday.

Wonderful!

Augustbreak:
Hmm.join you soon,ladies.

Nice. Whether you be lady or gent.

Chinom:
Yes, the Igbo people of Lagos. You missed that bit because you cannot get the word "Igbo" round your tongue. Shame to APC for not nominating more Igbos and other ethnic nationalities for elective posts in Lagos. The Lagos state house of assembly ought to have at least 7-10 Igbo people in it if real proportional representation took place.

Nothing wrong with diversity and more equitable representation. But, trust me, the politicians wanting those spots will not be hostile and talk like Tribalists on Nairaland. They know what they need to get elected. I do think it is a plus to see the Igbos and other groups that have a sizable population in Lagos get prominent and meaningful posts, elected or appointed. The Lagos House of Assembly, I believe, conducts business in Yoruba - so you know the ones who will get in there will be Lagosians through and through. It will be truly uniting to see a non-Yoruba born or raised in Lagos mingling with all the other Assemblymen and women speaking Yoruba like a native. It will make news and inspire a lot of young people who may think simply because their grandpapas compound is in another state, they can never reach their full potential in Lagos (government). No child should have to feel they are limited and cannot do what their friends are doing, simply for something they have no control over.

naijainfogalery:
When you pack hot hot women inside senate, how do you want us to move forward, for example, see the woman with big bosom if she says anything men will be forces to say yea

eskober:
how come am not seeing the big bossom

I didn't see it either. Unless he's talking about this one below, but it came after his post. Probably just in his mind :

LKO:
Evelyn Oboro representing Uvwie Okpe Sapele constituency of Delta State is one docile rep in the green chambers. No motions or bills from her since she was first elected in 2011. How she was able to win d PDP primary for re-election and ultimately d March 28 election beat my imagination. Anyway, woman power. Afterall, she is a divorcee. Her pix

A hero for the ages! I think he's from Kwara, but I'm gonna claim him for Lagos. He looks so much like a classmate of mine named Oshodi.

Will Buhari ever have the likes of Idiagbon working by his side again? Naija will be great again.

Horlufemi:
There are about 12 major corruption cases swept under the rug and he's going after just one.

truly truly, he should go after the case. I mean its just one. I support the probing.

Baba probe them.

I am sure he will investigate them all. But someone - lots of someones - are very nervous about this particular group theft and there's a lot of machinations going on behind the scenes in many quarters . . .

SeverusSnape:
Nah... I don't think he's gay, He's just a clown.
A clownish politician.

Not presidential material. Too bad.

Edygrin:
Long overdue. The government should also bring back the Nigerians that are ready to come back. Enough of the killing of Nigerians by bunch of illiterates and looters

Did they kill Nigerians? I didn't hear that.

I recall the last time we had serious diplomatic issues with them? I wonder what they're saying on their forums now. Boy oh boy!

President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Bulgaria(retd.), on Sunday said his administration would take a second look at the claim by a former Governor of the Central Bank, now Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, that $20bn, that was supposed to be remitted by the NNPC to the federation account, could not be unaccounted.

He should not be announcing these sort of things before he's been sworn in.

Rahma is not babangida 's daughter. She is mohammed babangida ' s wife. She is the daughter of Indimi.

This is somebody's wife? A cuckold, I imagine.

AWESOME! We need more!! Many more!!!

Of course, some crooks will finagle their way in there too. Just like their male counterparts. Humans are humans regardless of gender. We still need more women though. Good ones! Same as (good) men. Women were born to lead; Men are born to rise up and save the day when needed - to be heroic.

Viva la femme!

MzJackBaueress:
. . . Igbo people for putting their eggs in one basket. . .

Anyway,I am happy Rochas won and Imo state is now governed by an APC governor. . .

Did they really put their eggs in one basket though? What is the percentage of Igbos that voted for Buhari vs those that voted PDP, APGA or the parties? Unless 85% of them voted for someone other than Buhari then you know I wouldn't say they put all the eggs in one basket.

I doubt that the electoral commission keeps records of demographics based on race or tribe but we can get statistics about geographical regions, locations, LGAs, states. . . and see what percentage of the majority of those people voted Buhari. I don't have an idea but I doubt that over 75% of votes cast in the East were against Buhari. We do know there are APC supporters in the Eastern part of the country so I'm curious to know final demographic statistics. If you know please post it. Thank you, Ada Berem.

Btw, what'd you do to your favorite APC mod turned Buhari-hater? I no dey see his name amongst moderators again o.

cyberguy72:
hmmm dat wud b nice

Uhmmm . . . NO!

GenBuhari:
If Osinbajo is allowed by America to be sworn in, means he is a traitor and was maneuvered into the VP position by America and agents that ma lurk in the APC leadership.

How so, my brother? Who should be sworn in as VP?

Someone tell my good pal GenBuhari to worry less; that the general is being protected by some and they're taking precautionary measures.

Bawss1:
I always wondered where the president elect would stay before inauguration. Defence House. Hmmm, will check it out.

I dey suspect you o.

BTW I thought it was believed that Buhari had no house in Abuja, how come this report says he had been operating out of his private residence in Asokoro?

Maybe he was renting it during the campaign. You need a large house to coordinate. He can't be in a hotel for all that time.

Anyway, off to Maitama for some sight seeing.

I have to say, the man sounds more credible.

If, as the wife counterclaims, the husband is the one that beats her, why then is she opposed to the customary court dissolving the marriage? Also, she said she used to cook for him when he gave her money. That means she is now starving him? For what? If you don't want to cook for him, or he has no more money, and he beats you after 32 years of marriage, why then not let him go?

She may very well have bested the man in a fight. He sounds weak, mentally and physically. Probably in poor health also - after so many beatings. . . He's already retired at 55? She's turned his children against him? That guy's broken, mehn.

I hate divorce, but give the man his freedom.
