MelesZenawi:
lies upon lies

You are a bad researcher.

Both are different dances..


Stop spreading fake things or what your minds tells you.


The histories of both dance are totally different not this nonsense you just constructed.

With all due respect, educate me. I equally want to learn from you.
Since you know much about it, tell me the difference, their origin and history.
I believe other people will equally learn from you.

MKPOKITI AND ATILOGWU DANCE!

For clarity sake, there is no difference between Mkpokiti and Atilogwu dance except the nomenclature.
The dance is originally 'Mkpokiti' from Umunze town in Anambra state as stated by the OP.
Owing to its scintillating and electrifying displays, some people in amazement argued if the dance were fortified with charms ('Atunyere ogwu n'egwu a?' {Igbo language}). With this argument 'atunyere ogwu n'egwu a?' - meaning 'whether this dance was fortified with charms' (just like people are still asking on this thread) gives birth to the name 'Atilogwu' - derived from 'Atunyere ogwu'.
Many towns embrace the dance and it spread to other Igbo towns and beyond Igbo speaking area as 'Mkpokiti' or 'Atilogwu' dance.

Even though I'm a born again Christian, Nnamdi Kanu is a disgrace to every Christian worldwide from the religious perspective for aligning with Israel and Judaism. A well known terrorist like Kanu who almost made we Christians clash with our peaceful Muslim brothers because of his incessant hate speeches towards the north and the west doesn't deserve to see the light of the day. I suggest the federal government seize his mother's corpse for following the useless man to court in Abuja in solidarity and cremate it to serve as a deterrence to parents Who supports their children's criminality or feed her carcass to the Crocs in Nile river. Nnamdi kanu deserves to be locked up at ADX Florence in Colorado with the likes of his fellow terrorists like Elchapo and Muttalab for endangering the unity of our beloved country Nigeria.

If truly you are 'born again Christian' as claimed and genuinely made the above utterances, more so, judging by your utterances, if they were characteristics of a 'born again Christians' I disassociate myself from Christendom. I will rather practice any other religion that respect sanctity of human life, love, tolerance, peace and forgiveness.
Please do not allow hatred to so much engulf you into blaspheming a respectable and true religion on altar of political absurdity.

Lol.... What if it wasn't money that was inside? Or was it opened by the PDP people...? Might even be election materials...

In response to your view, it wasn't money but cooked beans and bread. The vehicles were not bullion vans but ambulances.
Even if they were bullion vans filled with bundles of N1,000 notes, just like Ganduje and the dollar video, the picture or video could equally be judged doctored and not real.
It is only in Nigeria that 'black' are judged to be 'white' no matter the evidence on ground. Provided you affiliate with the ruling party, you are guiltless. Every petition or charges against you are dismissed on technicalities, lack of merits and sundries.
I'm not in any position to argue if it is someone's personal money or not, but my question is HOW MANY BULLION VANS ENTER HOUSES OF THE LIKES OF DANGOTES?
With regard to some comments in this thread, let me believe that we are not being bewitched.

Congrats Mercy!

But why all these?

* BBN star Mercy eating rice with delicious stew!
* BBN star Mercy swimming in a cool pool!
* BBN star Mercy drinking Pepsi with a cute straw!
* BBN star Mercy shopping in Shoprite!

Enough of all these needless publicity. Nigeria media should allow this girl to think, plan and dictate her future. Before you know it, they will indirectly conjure her into frivolous life style and the cumulative N60million will continue depleting. This is why whites remain focus owing to giving no room for distractions.

Inasmuch as we are to respect each others believe and system of worship, but we shouldn't mock GOD in disguise. Quran, Bible, Scroll etc are holy books of worship. They contain words of GOD. Human beings are created in image and likeness of GOD. Human beings as an entity propagate the word of GOD. Quran, Bible that was printed, duplicated, bond and published as books (holy books) were done by human beings. In the course of publishing a book some copies with inscriptions ended up as waste and find its way in refuse dumps. More so, old, mutilated and loosened Bibles and Qurans that defy binding might also find its way in refuse dumps. Are such circumstances amount to blasphemous or sacrilegious?
Remember, it was found in sewage in primary school. Please those little pupils are minors. Whoever did that might be oblivious of sheet of paper in his/her possession. My questions are 1. How did they discover it? 2.How did the copies of Quran find its way in the hands of the user? Enough of all these fanaticism and hypocritical holier than thou pretence. Zamfara government should save us all these ridicules by building modern toilets and equip our institutions with hygienic toiletries.
For instance, “[As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they earned [i.e. committed] as a deterrent [punishment] from Allah. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.” [Quran 5:38]. In view of this, how many politicians and so call bandits has been amputated? If you are to keep the law, keep the whole law. Do not be selective. Quran did not say that negotiation or amnesty should be given. If you want to be civil, be civil to the core. If you opt for sharia, be sharia to the core. Stop mocking GOD. I believe we have been fooled enough.

Please tell them.
I've said it before and will still say it again and again.
FIRS only paid 10% of N900Billion which amount to N90Billion as a TITHE through Pastor Yemi Osinbajo. Simple!

NwaAmaikpe:




Odiegwu.

Somebody that will soon tell us that he is personally willing to waive his immunity aside and resign but that as an ordained RCCG pastor who has been taught never to give up in the face of challenges, it will be a mockery to his faith as a Christian if he resigns over a mere allegation.

Pastors never resign.
They twist the gospel to justify their indiscretions.

I concur.
Nothing will happen to him. Professor Osinbajo will remain the VP or even something higher than VP till 2023. He is a very good lawyer, SAN for that matter and also a pastor (senior pastor). As a pastor, if the heat of N90billion allegation and sundry gets much, he should quickly tell Nigerians that FIRS and other governmental agencies paid 'TITHE' through him. Simple!

Finally, permit me to add that the forty million citizens in the Lake Chad area expect this Summit to take into consideration their concerns. They anticipate that the outcomes of this meeting would include solutions to address the Climate Change impact in the Lake Chad area.

I am glad that the Secretary General and some of the member states represented in this hall are partnering with us in this endeavor. We thank them for their cooperation and I look forward to deepening our partnership.

https://punchng.com/climate-change-is-a-human-induced-phenomenon-buhari-says-at-unga/amp/

If truly he has the magic wand to reverse climatic change, this appeal is uncall for. I suggest UN should advise him to use Lake chad basin test run his idea of reversing climatic change and report to them two years after of progress made so far.

Oh!
You are a bit ahead of me.
Yes, he is number 16 and you are number 17. I settle for number 18 QED.

We just like to sensationalize things here. I even thought the charge applied to all the deposits. Even mechanics and petty traders have bank accounts. Why should anyone be carrying cash above 500k

If you are operating a grocery shop or petrol station and after daily sales, cash at hand runs in million, how will you manage such a situation? Won't you carry the cash and deposit in a bank? Will you insist that all customers payment must be electronically on this 'network failure' operating environment? Oh! I forgot, we should embrace cheque payment. Take your cheque book and run to grocery shop or petrol station and see who will attend or listen to you. You don't just erect a house without digging and ensuring strong foundation. Cashless society is a healthy practice, but we haven't done much in building strong foundation for it to thrive in Nigeria. A country that doesn't have central data, improve electricity, reliable internet service provider and advance technology cannot effectively operate cashless society.
Wait, why do we want to operate cashless society that involves electronic business transaction for everybody, but we can't implement and embrace electronic voting for adults (voting age) exclusively? This is more beyond the eyes can see.
[somebody who has not experienced electric shock will never know that electricity is both precious and dangerous].

LongThickPenis:
It's a sad practice to help people and publicise it. It's a sad Nigerian practice. When you help, be humble. If the beneficiary announces it, then they are showing gratitude. It's cheap for helper to publicize this. Like those fools buying noodles, and pepsi for orphanage.simpku buy and donate to them. If the donation is to avoid items being stolen by staff of charity (Naija way no pure) I may understand

Inasmuch as I respect your opinion. Personally, Femi did no wrong. If truly Shan George made those statements, It is either she never needed help or she don't know the value of life. Many people are in hospitals soliciting for help to overcome different life threatening conditions. And the much needed help becomes far fetched. In state of crisis or SOS, pride and ego are relegated.
Though I never pray to be a victim, but life is unpredictable. My prayer is that peradventure I find myself in SOS condition, may GOD provide me a helper who will definitely come to my rescue, broadcast it in social media, news media (both radio and television stations), world dailies and sundries. I don't care. My life is far more important than my pride and ego.

Siralgebra04:
Will u kip kwayet. The igbos are d thousands dat refuse to come back.

You are 100% right and I thank GOD they were not hurt. And other tribes are thousands killed and returning back home. Even if Igbo man walks in the valley of shadow of death, he will come out unhurt for GOD is with him.
May GOD of Igbo nation continue to protect their children.

People on the Internet do not look like themselves when you see them, they live on borrowed robs. - Dolapo Osinbajo

Dolapo Osinbajo, the wife of the Vice President, has appealed to Nigerian youths to desist from copying the lifestyle of people on the Internet as it is a "mere illusion."

She gave the advice on Saturday, September 14th during a Town Hall Meeting with Benue Youth held at the New Banquet Hall, Benue Government House, Makurdi.

According to her, most internet users live on borrowed robes to impress their fans, they are living illusionary lifestyles that are not in conformity with reality.



She said a Nigerian child needed to be priceless, top class and should not be seen as a cheap product that can be purchased with as little as recharge card and further appealed to youth using internet to be cautions of their activities on the net as responsible companies at the moment, investigate applicants’ records including those on internet before hiring.



source: https://www.titiloyeblog.com/2019/09/people-on-internet-do-not-look-like.html

I appreciate the counsel of our VP's wife or (second lady).
In addition to your burning desire to have modest youths in our society, I appeal on you to use your position, influence and opportunity to prevail on your husband, liaise, with first lady and get in touch with Mr President. Tell them to create jobs for Nigerian youths with resources at their disposals, through economic driven policies and sundries. I tell you most solemnly, if Nigerian youths are gainfully employed, little or nobody will have time for internets. Drug abuse and other criminalities will be a thing of the past. As a wife of a pastor, I believe you are very much aware of what an idle mind as a result of joblessness is to the devil.
Of a truth, millions of jobless Nigerian youths are visiting internet to find succour and pacify their already made miserable, frustrated and despaired life.
You can't beat a child and deny him right to cry.
With all due respect madam, I can assist in suggesting a way forward.
For instance, with your position, suggest outright ban of some good for nothing reality TV show like this ongoing Big Brother Nigeria and replace it with other impactful reality challenge for our teaming youths. Something like bringing youths from different geopolitical zones in groups. Provide materials and formulae for them. Mandate them to fabricate Television, fridge or (other electronics). Those in medical field can be mandated to manufacture vacines or even perform kidney transplant on monkeys or guinea-pigs. Give them time frame to execute such challenge. Great rewards awaits people that came successful.
By doing so, you are not only empowering the youths but also making them productive in the society. This will become win-win to everybody in the sense that even unsuccessful participants learnt something new, becomes more equipped and effect of such initiatives will bring educational, technological and economic revolution in every facet of our society.
FELLOW NIGERIANS PLEASE JOIN ME IN BRINGING GOOD SUGGESTIONS AND INNOVATION TO OUR LEADERS.

1StopRudeness:
That’s just Societal conventional standards.

To be fulfilled is to be happy in all areas of life...

a husband is a customized dic and a customized sperm donor...if a woman is lucky she will get financially buoyant with the package and if she’s extra lucky a great companion....men of nowadays give the opposite... stress, children outside wedlock, beating, cheating, I don’t see how having all these in a woman’s life equate to being fufilled..

Any woman that can find happiness weda she has a man or not is fulfilled..

Hmmm!
Let me not comment my reservation.

sarahvibes:
The 48-year-old nude actress isn’t shy of confronting her flaws but also scoring herself some valuable points with self assurance. She claimed in her latest post that she’s is fulfilled age her age even though her mates are still struggling with life.

Her assertion: “I’ll Never give up on myself ! Still Fresh! Still Bouncing! 100 percent Loaded! While my mates are still looking for husbands, my my first daughter already graduated college ( 4 years University) and working in a big company! Also my younger daughter just entered college (University), why I no go make shakara?? Eh? Why I no go make Inyanga? Why won’t Flex? ���� �������� #AfroCandy #afrocandy #afrocandy1 #judithafrocandy #Afrocandy”

https://www.thesleak.com/while-my-mates-are-still-looking-for-husbands-nude-actress-afrocandy-claims-shes-fulfilled/

Everyone is entitlement to his/her opinion, way of life, choice and decisions.
BUT LIFE HAS THOUGHT ME THAT 'TRULY FULFILLED AND HAPPY PEOPLE DOESN'T BRAG OR ADVERTISE THEIR HAPPINESS'.
Do not be deceived ironically. Behind that shiny surface lies the true challenge. Whatsoever life you lived or living but you wouldn't encourage or advise your children to follow your footsteps is not worthy of bragging about.
If you read between lines with deep reasoning, you will understand her greatest regret.

ORIENTATION101:
Very Good Nigeria is not doing Big Brother again. You neighboring countries have been milking us since.

The importers in your countries pays billions of dollars annually to ur respective government on rice duties. then smuggle the rice freely to Nigeria to sell and still make money without paying tax. What nonsense.

Buhari please cut of Benin,ghana,Togo,niger lights their debts is too much. Nigeria cannot be giving light freely when we citizens re paying high fees to enjoy power.

No more economic Big Brother again period

So long as we still rely on Kainji dam in Niger state, we dare not try it. This is a sacrifice we will continue to make to all these West African corridor nations. There was an agreement that we will be providing them electricity in order not to build another dam along that axis of river Niger on perception or logic that building another dam in river Niger along that corridor will reduce the water current and inhibit efficiency of our Kainji dam.

In everything, remember there is always tomorrow. Sometimes, judgment might be delivered to favour some interest, but at the detriment of the nation and her future.
Base on Mohammed Garba's ruling, someone might set up a hospital and start diagnosing patients. If you inquire to know if the person is a medical doctor, he will stand on the existing ruling to tell you that he don't need to possess a certificate before practicing as a medical doctor.
Muhammadu Buhari might be qualified to vie or assumed the position of president. But the pronouncements of the judge with respect to possession of certificate in his ruling is suicidal to the image and future of Nigeria.

Dear Maureen,
Before you tell us the reason why the marriage crashed, first tell us the reason why you rejected all other suitors and vowed that it must be Blossom Chukwujekwu and no other person. Remember that you vowed before the altar of GOD that it must be 'for better for worse'. Does it mean that you lied to GOD, you deceived GOD or you never believe in GOD. Marriage is for matured mind, I believe at 32, you are no longer a kid to behave childishly. If you expose your husband or (ex-husband) as your brag, which man will ever trust you tomorrow. Even if you have permanently decided to divorce him, treat him with respect; at least for the sake of the love you once have for him. The fact some people doesn't know is that the way you treat your ex-husband goes a long way in portraying whom you are and how your prospective next husband will perceive you. Don't try to destroy someone and end up shooting yourself on the foot.
LET US NOT ALLOW ANGER AND FRUSTRATION TO OVERRIDE OUR BETTER SENSE OF REASONING.

Evacuation of citizens in distress only requires evidence of identification. Assuming South African government want to deport Nigerians, will possession of expired passport stop them from carrying out the exercise. Aside passport, national identity card, Nigeria voters card and any other government issued document is enough to prove citizenship. In a working society, mere mention of your BVN or Nigeria phone number is enough to prove identity. Assuming war broke out in South Africa and there is need to evacuate countries' citizens, Nigeria government will be given us this excuse. For GOD's sake, this is an emergency. Treat it as such.
Certain things are being ignored in Nigeria. A country without central data base. Of what use are all those biometric capturing and registration? Imagine your own GSM network service provider asking you to bring evidence of identification before before effecting a welcome back. The same network provider that captured your biometrics during sim registration. Or should we talk of Banks that also request for identification before cashing cheques whereas we have sync BVN biometrics. Do you know that in some countries, passports, drivers license and sundries doesn't expire. Though I understand that we are still a developing nation and using all these expiration format to earn revenue, but in a situation like this, we have to chase the hawk away first before warning the chicks for leaving their battery cage.

One of age long sayings says that 'too much respect is perceived as fear'.
South Africans have declared war on Nigerians. I wonder what we are still waiting for. You cannot be killing my family members and expect me to embrace and celebrate you. Blood of slain Nigerians will never be at peace with us. Since birds have opted to fly without perching, hunters need not to be told to commence random shooting without aiming.
As Fela Kuti of blessed memory rightly stated, this condition has reached that every Nigerian should act. Waiting for this docile government to act is like waiting for the dead to rise. Nigerians are being killed right our dear country by alleged 'so call foreigners' and nothing has been done about that, now South Africans are killing and roasting us and we are here watching the video clip. No one have monopoly of violence. It is better I got arrested or killed by my own country security agents or government on the quest of being my brother's keeper. As I'm talking to you, I have just ported my (0803........) to another network. I appeal to every Nigerians to do the same. To hell with MTN and South Africa affiliation. The same MTN once said that it is impossible to launch 'per second' billing in Nigeria. Till Glo came and unlock the golden age. Days later, they follow suit. I'm not advertising for any GSM network service provider. There are AIRTEL, GLO and 9MOBILE. Please let us do this as mark of solidarity to our slain brothers. Since they have rejected us, they should equally reject our pocket. Sometimes, two wrongs makes a right. I think this is the best time for us test run it. Enough is enough!

May GOD save us.
Many years ago it was candle, later it became carrot; nowadays it is cucumber. In the nearest future, it will become tubers of yam.
Men, it is high-time you know that your services are no longer needed.

It is time we go back to drawing board to know if we were bewitched or we are the ones bewitching ourselves. We are going backwards as the word progresses.
Morality has been reduced to nothing. What do you expect from a nation that frustrated educative and social impacting programs like WHO WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE, GULDER ULTIMATE SEARCH, PROJECT FAME, MALTINA DANCE HALL etc. only to embrace BIG BROTHER NIGERIA. Of what benefit is BIG BROTHER NIGERIA to us? We jettison everything to encourage immortality. This is a program that promote rape, harassment and other negative values. When a man start reasoning with his waist, the brain automatically becomes disconnected. If you give me a full-scalp page of benefits of BIG BROTHER NIGERIA show to the society, I will write volumes of book on its demerit.
I'm surprise that at this age, we are yet to introduce feat achieving or inventory programs by assembling young Nigerians in group and mandate them to make a research or invent something with tools, manifesto and formulae provided to them. It can be timed for 3months, 6months or more. Such initiative can be aired live, sponsored by government or corporate firms and be rewarded. Such will replace BIG BROTHER NIGERIA and its like. I believe that such initiative will lift us out of poverty, promote our creativity, build human capital, improve industrialization and advance technology.
