Dear Op, have you ever wondered why OWERRI contains ERI?

Why Agu ukwa has ERI?

Why Aguleri has ERI?
Why Umueri has ERI?

It is even in the Bible that ERI is a descendant of Jacob(Gen 46:16)

Why Aba trances their origin to Aguleri?


Why Awka does same?

Go to orlu again and dig deep it is Ngidi ERI.

I doubted all those stuffs until a man took me to Aguleri. I saw a Jacobs stone on which was written all the names of his sons in Hebrew. You will see GAD from where ERI was a son to.

I know that some Igbo came from Igala like some part of Anam,Delta, etc but most are from Isreal.

Do research on Igbo new yam festival(Iwa ji)and see for yourself that truely it all started from Aguleri/Umueri.

Your wife may not be bisexual.

Please answer me these and we can conclude on if she is or she just want a child:

1. Have you two gone for medical check?

2 if yes,what was the result?

Cos if your wife is impotent without your knowing, she might have resulted to that maid for a child to make you happy.

Just be careful of wrong conclusion.

Ebonyi State has won the 2016 Democracy School Debate.

It defeated Taraba and Police teams at the finals of the championship organised by the President’s School Debate Nigeria (PSDN) a non-governmental organisation from May 24 to May 28 in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that PSDN comprised private and public sector stakeholders.

Dr Adaeze Nwauzor, Ebonyi Centenary Debate team leader, told NAN on Monday that Ebonyi would represent Nigeria in an international school debate competition in Indonesia.
“By this feat, we have qualified to represent Nigeria in the forthcoming international school debate competition in Indonesia.

“We were also presented with a trophy by Hajia Aisha Buhari, wife of the President, at a dinner party with the students.
“My team won because of hard work coupled with their intelligence. We took time to select the best students in terms of debate for this competition.

“We started by training the trainers – debate handlers – then we went round the 13 local government areas and selected the best speakers from each local government.
“We went to three zones and selected the best speakers; then at the semi-grand finale, we selected the best speakers,’’ she said.
She commended, Gov. Dave Umahi of Ebonyi, and his wife for their support and commitment to human development.
Nwauzor, who is the Senior Special Adviser to Umahi on Higher Education, said that the governor’s support and passion for educational development of the state contributed to the team’s victory.
She also thanked the organisers, especially, Dare Olotu, PSDN’s National Coordinator and all the members of the committee, for a well organised debate.

NAN recalls that Olotu had at the opening ceremony, said that the essence of the competition was to bring Nigerian students to debate on motions affecting the country.
He said that wining team would have automatic qualification to represent Nigeria in the forthcoming international schools debate in Indonesia.

Olotu said the topics of debate were: “This House Believes that the Agricultural Sector has Better Prospects for Nigeria’s Economic Growth.
“This House Believes that Posting of National Youth Corps Members should be Limited to their Geo-political Zones.’’

No fewer than 13 teams drawn from Taraba, Imo, Niger, Ebonyi, Anambra, Kaduna, Oyo, Sokoto, Benue and FCT, participated in the competition.

Check out President Buhari's one year in office scorecard as released by the Punch Newspaper.

Please,what is your score as compared to the Punch's own?

The presidency,two days ago,declared over 60% increase in the price of premium motor spirit (PMS) with so much blame on corruption and or past government. They cited prices of what PMS sales in other west African countries and the need for us to follow suit.

There is serious inflation in the land with hike in transport yet the salary of civil servants are not made to measure up with those harsh economy. A bag of rice is now #15000 prior to their pegging the price of PMS to #145 and who knows how much it will be as from next week.

Well am not against any increment in the price of PMS but when we dug in to know the niara conversion of the minimum wage of OPEC countries,we discover that if we must cite other nations price,then we should as well cite the grave disparity between their minimum wages and ours so we move for the increment and strict implementation of #56000 minimum wage.

#OccupyNigeriaSeason2.

And in another news someone said Onitsha is the most air polluted place on earth and I wonder which Onitsha? The one in Anambra state or there is another Onitsha in world map?

Anyway, it shows that southeast has grown in both human capital development and infrastructural development.

The gap between the rich and the poor in southeast is very minute cos of their independent mindset and hustling spirit.

Someone will quote me that they are into 419 but guess what,EFCC rates a particular state in Southwest as the state with the highest number of internet scammers.

Igbo people are the future of the great Nigeria we all pray for.

God bless Ndigbo who are now doing everything to ensure their people are salvaged from political masterminded poverty.

Invest in southeast and you will never regret doing so.

@OP,please give us the criteria for this rating and not just using 'polluted'. Is it noise pollution, environmental pollution, etc.

You don't just post something without write-ups to back your claims.

Until you edit your post and give us the bases of those ranking, your post remains null and void.

I can even see umuahia there and I hope it is not what am thinking?

Your business is coming up. Keep up the good work cos it's better than yahoo yahoo.

All is well.

Please sample your wares unlike the bale pics you uploaded.

Keep hustling bro. The sky is your limit if you do it with honesty.

LadyExcellency:
That is equal balance of trade and a good development by my assessment. The FG should secretly/openly (whichever) print more Naira for disbursement to States.
US print dollars, Britain print pounds and Nigeria should print Naira. The attendant inflation can't kill as it will gradually be absorbed into what is at present.

Seems you just went to school to study economics or accountancy? Fuel is just a fraction of crude and it is stupidity to swap same with crude. What happens to products like diesel, kerosene, ethylene, etc that comes from same crude?

Crude swap before was done with change on it to save in our accounts as a nation not the trade by barter we are doing now.

FG should dialogue with ND avengers now so they don't cripple the economy while we ensure that our refineries are fully operational for self sustenance. But guess what,the FG isn't even truthful in it's approach.

The same govt that told us about diversifying budgeted billions of naira for crude exploration in chad basin more than what Agriculture got. Isn't it clear that there is an agenda somehow? Someone will say GEJ budgeted money for it but do we really need such as we all know crude is as cheap as sachet water in international market.

Pictures of the bales and the samples with your address etc will make you sell better.

#myLittleAdvice.

@Op,someone who is God fearing want to jump the allotted time of his visa in the US and you want someone to put up with him?

Tell him to get home after the conference and get proper residency visa if he desires to earn a living in US.

Buhari might have caused your cousin to start thinking of a way out of the mess called Nigeria.

mightyokwy:
Wait until you call the line, nobody go tell u say na scam

What scam are you talking about?

Don't know why you all have it running in your blood that every Nigerian is dubious. Just wake up bro cos we all don't do scam cos we are gainfully employed and contented.

See the numbers of your leaders. Call them and enquire about what they are doing to protect Enugu state.

Call any of these numbers to channel your issue of Fulani herdsmen massacre or if there is fear of your community being massacred. Remember to record the conversation when dialing any of the numbers for investigative journalism later when either of them deny receiving such calls.

Be wise for this is democracy and you can remove any incompetent political appointee and elected officers.

Thank God for social media.

Nigeria will be great again especially by using social media rightly.

So sorry for your lost bro but there is a way out. Copy the bet number and mark your time of betting and the matches you staked on and move to any national lottery commission close to you and file a report.

But what kind of betting site is that? Never heard about them but and that's why I will never stake my cash on any unknown betting sites.

They might cancel your bet in order for them not to lose cos they don't have backlogs of funds to pay out your winning.

My advice to national lottery commission is to ensure that no betting company exist without a backlog of at least #200million so as to ensure things like this doesn't happen to innocent Nigerians.

Have a blissful Sunday.

Trust me on this: the fall of LIB is closer than we thought.

A woman who lives on the downfalls of people is the devil herself.

I don't support violence against women but Linda is insensitive in her publication on wizkid matter.

She should go get a life by buying a husband as she claims she can do.

(National Grazing Reserve Commission (NGRC) will be the new Gestapo....Hitler's police. So people will have a right to take my house and land "if they consider the place good for grazing? God punish all Yorubas, Igbos, minorities of the middle belt and Niger Delta who do not do all they can against this Grazing Laws. If Igbos and Yorubas and the rest of us do not unite against this law, we deserve to be slaughtered. How can a bill that will hand a NGRC commission a right to take any land anywhere for cow get to second reading? Are we crazy? Where on this earth do cows have such rights?)

THE CRAZY GRAZING BILL - MICHAEL DEDON
The proposed Grazing Bill for Fulani herdsmen is an invitation to anarchy in an already volatile country like Nigeria. The Bill is already before the National Assembly and has successfully scaled through second reading in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. All that is left in the legislative process to make it a law is a 3rd reading, that is, a clause by clause debate and then assent by the President. The proposed piece of legislation is full of unconstitutionalities, ethnic discriminations, fundamental human rights violations, religious tenets violations, conspicuous criminal omissions and unforgiveable legislative indiscretions.
The full title of the Bill is, AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NATIONAL GRAZING RESERVE (ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT) COMMISSION FOR THE PRESERVATION AND CONTROL OF NATIONAL GRAZING RESERVES AND STOCK ROUTES AND OTHER MATTERS CONNECTED THEREWITH.
The Bill’s concluding explanatory memorandum says that the Bill seeks to provide for, among other things, the establishment of the National Grazing Reserve Commission of Nigeria, for the preservation and control of national grazing reserves and stock routes in the country. Its key provisions and high points include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. To establish a National Grazing Reserve Commission (NGRC), a body corporate.
2. The NGRC may acquire, hold, lease or dispose of any property, moveable or immoveable for the purpose of carrying out its function.
3. The NGRC shall have a governing Council headed by a Chairman appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate with members representing the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Water Resources, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment,Housing and Urban Development, the National Commission for Nomadic Education and shall also have a Director General.
4. To raise monies by way of grants, loans, borrowing, subsidies and donations.
5. The following lands may be subject to the provisions of the Act to be constituted as National Grazing Reserves and Stock Routes:
(a) Lands at the disposal of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
(b) Any lands in respect of which it appears to the Commission that grazing in such land should be practiced.
(c) Any land acquired by the Commission through purchase, assignment, gift or otherwise howsoever.
6. State Governments shall be given notice first before land acquisition and gazetting.
7. The Commission shall pay compensation to persons affected by any land acquisition.
8. There shall be no improvements, encroachment, bush burning, hunting, use of chemicals and felling of trees by anyone inside lands acquired and demarcated as National Grazing Reserves or Stock Routes.
9.Contravention of any of the provisions in ( above shall be punishable by a fine of N50,000 or 5 years imprisonment or both.
10. No Court of law shall carry out execution of its judgment or attachment of court process issued against the Commission in any action or suit without obtaining the prior consent of the Attorney General of the Federation.
11. For the time being, the Commission shall report to the Honorable Minster for Agriculture and Water Resources.
12. Native communities referred to in the Bill shall be any group of persons occupying any lands in accordance with, and subject to native law and custom.
....the list then goes on. Please,call all your senators and house of reps members and ask them as a matter of urgency to reject the enactment of this evil bill.

You can get their phone through sahara reporters website.

Please,anyone with info on where to get coconut grater (motorized or non motorized) in Nigeria should share info here.

What is the world turning into?

A mum and a son having sex?

God help us all cos one day we will hear of a woman/man having sex with termites.

Shame!!!

If federal govt can't do the bridge due to funding, they should realise that a typical Igbo man is rich and should create a platform for them to contribute funds for the bridge with a promise of staking their names on the bridge and pay them back after a stipulated time frame.

140b is a small thing for just 200 Igbo men. Try this strategy and see the bridge stand in 4 years.

If you have banker friends located within the vicinity of any major market across the federation, ask them how Igbo men handle cash deposits and transfer. You will be amazed on what you will hear.

Igbo men are proud set of people in areas where their names will be engraved/immortalized so they can beat their chest and say I contributed to the building of that bridge,check my name when you get there.

God bless the Igbo race cos they are a rare race that have made Africa proud in so many facets of life.

What a girl. When I read through your post,I felt pity for you though the entire scenario sounds funny to me but...

Please my sister from another country,from your write up,I feel you're too young for love so I will advice you work away from him and face life. Love isn't by force and you're too small to be undergoing domestic violence on the hands of a man who is not your husband and even if he is,he doesn't have a right to hit you.

#BeWise!!!

Can someone just help me ask the op what he took before coming here to type what even him can't explain?

Please, op, explain in clear terms what you meant by your topic.

Thank you so much.

Normally, I would read this and move to the next topic but I was tempted to pause and probably say something about this deadly situation eating deep into our society. Gone are the days when people celebrate golden jubilee in the marriage. It now seems the average age our marriages now last is 10 and the society is not taking note of this decline.


Am not a socialogist but I think we are gradually creeping into individuality in Nigeria. Individuality,to me, means a situation where we live together in same room but do things separately and the only things holding us together are sex and money for family upkeep.


We started it with husband and wife having separate bedrooms and only sleep in the same room if there are needs for sex. The advent of separate rooms now creates individualism among couples and should in case there be a misunderstanding, it takes time to settle them.


That apart, I have over years studied marriages and I have noticed that we actually live in a time when patience is no longer a virtue amongst couples. We have embraced the opinion that the best way out of an issue is to walk away from it.

Feminism and several concepts are really killing us in Africa. Am not in support of men making women slaves but I think we shouldn't throw into the dustbins the fact that a man and a woman have defined roles they must play to make the family work.

Will stop here for now cos of work.

Two things appeared in my mind while reading this post

1. They might have resorted to this medium inorder to escape the security situation in the country

2. Maybe they want to rob their neighborhood to eck a living out of the mess the country has been plunged into due to both the mess of previous government and failure of the present government to give investors roadmap into where to invest in.

In all, RIP to the dead and I hope the living learn from their death.

Invest in cryptocurrency with a fraction of that cash and you will be a happy man.

Pm me your whatsapp number let me help you out.

CNN reports that China as a country wants to start their own cryptocurrency.

Just a fraction and you do other business with the remaining part of the cash.

That aside, you can do car wash biz in good locations and earn big from it.

Invest in cryptocurrency and you will never regret it later.

Pm your whatsapp number let me put you through.

[color=#006600][/color]
I can teach you diligently how you can invest 1/3 of the cash and reap good dividends in the near future but it is not a get-rich-quick investment but something you can do at your own pace and have free time and also look for other business that you can venture into with the remaining 2/3 while the other run in the background.

I always tell people,"if i want to buy a 50k phone and was told of a business or investment that if i put in the 50k will yield 35-40k in four months,then i will forfeit the phone and go for the investment",this is the mindset of business people.

pm me let me help you.

One thing I appreciate about your write up is that Ot is devoid of tribal,religious and political sentiments.

you touched issues that are relevant and I will like to advice the APC led govt to be careful cos the may lose 2019 to PDP. my reason is that if PDP as an opposition wins the trust of Nigeria through the inability of the minister of information to give us answers as pertain issues bordering on national discourse, like the PDP did in its last dispensation under the guild of GEJ.

We don't need people who are confused in govt. APC must know they are no longer opposition but the ball is in their court to play.
