The nonsense 'someone' is typing. You want to teach a government "bitter lesson" and I hope you will be among those who will teach the government "bitter lesson".

So in your myopia you think an evil govt can't be corrected ...you feel govt can't be brought down...go and read before I call you an illiterate...in fact this present govt is filled with empty heads so am not expecting their supporters not to be worst

omenka:
Mtswheew.

I couldn't care less. The violence has been and will continue to remain domiciled in your domain. Couldn't care less what becomes of it. Two of your Kings were sent to hell to meet Chukwu abuko Alabama yesterday. If your brothers like, they can send ten more today, I will still sip my soda like I would if there was a buzzing fly 1000 miles away from me.

If there is truth in that, you would not be here having sleepless time...

Yoruba1stson:
may God give them the power

The joke is on you lot...
Coward tribe.
I dare the govt not to produce Kanu tomorrow...in fact I pray they don't.
Igbo is a different Tribe

obembet:
I don't believe it dear. To the extent that Judges won't see that person they want to judge?

The Judge already told them the case wouldn't continue without MNK being produced physically in court.

I even pray the FG will not produce him...this govt need to be thought a bitter lesson..

omenka:
At this rate, I sincerely hope Kanu is not presented in court. Let the terrorists do their worse. After all, their own people will bear the brunt of their madness, and in the end will use their own hands to crush the killers when they've had enough of the madness.

I also hope the FG didn't produce him...
So.that evil people Like you who support injustice will learn that nobody has monopoly of nonsense not even govt.
At least we are no more hearing rants of online Biafra online ESN and other rants from you oafs.

KosiGee:
I wish Nnamdi Kanu didn’t swear and use offensive words on other people. I wish he started start the Jibril and Buhari is dead conspiracy.
I wish he had focused only on arousing consciousness in the south east. I wish he didn’t enter into unnecessary argument and name calling with Dokubo.
I wish IPOB was a bit more organised and focused.
I wish Kanu was a bit more humble.
I wish IPOB wasn’t represented by someone called Emma powerful.

Kanu and IPOB would’ve had mega support amongst Igbos. There would’ve been millions ready to fight for the cause.

Even if he regains his freedom today…what next? Go back to his radio and start dishing out venoms!

Keep wishing...you think freedom fighting is by wishing?
MNK is the greatest NigerianBiafran whoever lived.
He Saw Tomorrow. And prosperity will forever remember him for speaking nothing but the truth.

obembet:
Nobody has set eyes on that Guy since they arrested him from Kenya, not even his Lawyer, Judges and Media and you guys still believe that he's alive.

They have killed that guy

No they can't... In fact they made sure no one had access to him so as to make sure he is safe...

Just so you know MNK.is the biggest fish in FG net and so overly protected.

loveth360:
I don't even know why Nigeria government will be running away from their kangaroo court even when they claims to have millions evidences to nail Kanu.

FG has no case simple.

LordVoldermort:
Akuko the trial would be postponed

You guys should keep sitting at home, we can never be bullied

Who is we?
Miserable people everywhere.

muykem:
There's a picture of Ojukwu ran away as coward.

Like I envisaged from outset...you're very very daft...

The only picture of gallantry in the biafran war was that of biafran soldiers as their Nigerian counterparts were only popular in killing civilians in Asaba who they sommound and then shot face to face

muykem:
South East leaders are not different from illiterate selling electronics in Alaba international market. They don't have well thought of their actions and inactions. They could not analyse properly what lead to civil war and how they were heavily defeated. Nigeria government then successfully isolated igbo from other ethnic groups and that made it become easier to deal with. The same thing is happening today, north is trying to resolve difference with people of South West and South South and isolated South East again. This is not time for violence in South east for Biafra, the issue of separation should still be on paper work until other ethnic groups are ready for it.

You are a very daft fellow...
How did nigeria defeat Biafra ...there is no single picture of Nigerian gallantry during the civil war besides that of starving kids

Comedy

armyofone:
Please explain to them you don't have. If you have a little, give and pray for better days.

Thanks

Stevenbright:
Oga! Go and do what culture demands of you since you can't use your brain.

But if you will listen, do the little you can afford and leave the rest to culture!

Certainly you do lack a brain.
Idiot.

Depressed101:
you are a man, It's not a must every problem that comes your way must be solved, in this case your best bet will be try your best to see what you can do, at the deadline if nothing comes out, (but at all at all is bad, try find something) go talk to a reasonable person from your inlaw side, explain your situation, and ask them to bear with you, that you owe them one.. I don't know about your tribe or family, but in mine, a closer inlaw who is capable will cover for you, once you explain, he will pay your share of the money, provide hand cash for you, then you owe him as a debt to be repayed by you or your kids (my own father reminds me all the time those who helped during situations like this)..

Then if they are not understanding, you can never kill yourself, join them in physical labor, i and my family did this once for my grandmother's burial, there was gossip here and there, but I come from a family that don't give a Bleep, my mother especially, I don't know about your wife, she will be the only undoing if she doesn't manage the situation with you well.

Remember that this one will come and pass,so there's nothing to kill yourself for if it doesn't work out.. Just gba mbo and leave the rest for God, my two cents

Thanks

Depressed101:
now you are sounding like a holy priest. Well I will not be there when your wife calls you lazy.. You know you just came here to seek validation and not advice.. I don't exactly what advice you possibly want from this situation, you want NLanders to tell you to run away from your responsibilities or hide until burial is over..?

Not exactly,
I simply wanted to know if someone would ask me to steal or go to lapo so as to make sure I fulfill this cultural demand at this moment that I really do not have the financial power to fulfill it.
Life happens and it is what it is!

ObabyObaby:
my friend I understand your predicament,to cut story short, you don't have you don't have,nothing you can do about it,buy two or three carton of bear and two wrapper go and pay homage to your late inlaw,pick only two or three people from your village to go with you (one of your brother , one elderly man ,one woman) when you get what they are saying don't get provoked ,always say you're sorry that you will make up to them when money come. This is my little contribution

Thanks.

cococandy:
Na you sabi.
I don’t agree with that sentiment.

You can show yourself or take something moderate with you. Even a bottle of wine and a fowl is something. Between you and your wife, you can come up with that . Also your attitude about it will go a long way. Just showing you stand by them in their mourning period means a lot.

My first post is to address the extortion in regards to asking for multiple goats (which is a common thing in our culture). But that doesn’t mean you should skip something as important as your wife’s father's funeral. Do you think she will be happy with you?

It's not funeral...but burial ceremony.
And lol @ going with chicken you really cracked my ribs there...though you can actually go with two goats which means the people that went with you wouldn't come back a goat because your load no complete.

There's so much beauty in all of it but you gats have money o

Depressed101:
then gtfo there and get money, y'all should stop coming to NL seeking useless advise when you know what to do... Do your best and leave the rest for God... 8

It's not a useless advice young fellow ...be guided and seek knowledge

cococandy:
Well which one do you think is worse, not going at all or going empty handed?

Going Empty handed is worst....and not even a madman will accompany you on such a shameful outing...lol

juman:
Maybe they are too young to stay behind.

Yeah

peterian:
phew!, the matter really choke op, may help find you soon, Amen

Culture is sweet you just gets to have money to avail yourself of it's beautifulness

cococandy:
please attend the funeral o.
Not attending because you have no money is worse than not contributing financially.

It's against culture. First I cannot attend alone I must go with my people just as you don't go and marry alone.
2. I cannot attend empty handed.. I am an inlaw there and not just a relative.

juman:
Children didn't resume school because to have money to take them to do burial.

That's craziness is big bro

Let the children go to school and tell the family that this time around you have little money.
Don't kill yourself because of burial.

Most people in the country are also broke like you like me.

It's crazy but their mother have to be at her own father's burial ceremony nah...and the children have to be with her . Hope you understand now?

Boss13:
Bros I understand your situation. Unfortunately, you may need to seek for a short-term loan else them go rubbish you. Your reputation is actually on the line and I understand the expense is sudden and prompt. However, please comply and go ahead.

Bros not that I have not considered that LOAN option but dear I have gone through a lot in life that now I guard my mind and heart with all my strength...I don't want to lose my mind for anything. Loans bro takes away a mans peace. Taking a loan to sort this problem would only create a bigger problem.

Boss13:
Yes. Rather than coming to Nairaland to vent. He should go back to his in-laws and negotiate what he can afford.

My dear this forum Nairaland might be faceless but there is a lot to learn here and so many people have been saved from a lot of anguish and depression by bringing the problem up for others to contribute positive solutions.
For instance this matter has bugged me for weeks and I have been so restless. But now I have found solace in a lot of comments here.

descarado:
Why will he not attend his inlaw burial?
If it's his father,will he also not attend?
What nonsense in the name of no money or is this a jinx as usual to start demonising as usual?

So what exactly am I supposed to do now so as to make sure I fulfill my cultural obligation without having to jeopardize my life and peace7
Solution is what I want to hear that is why I brought up this my issue here.

alayandekolasam:
@ Kalman,
The issue on ground is something most married men can relate with.
Traditionally speaking, you are obliged to play a good part, and we all know Nigerian burial ceremony is about money.
But given your current financial situation, these whole thing can be easier handled.
First off, what has been your relationship with your in-laws?- good relationship enhances mutual understanding even in hard times.
Were you (spouse's) there to care for the man when he was alive - because even if you have all the money to spend now, it won't make as much difference safe for the mere crowd accolades.
How intimate are you with your wife- if your wife can't trust you when you say you don't have, then that is a bit of problem.
Trust me, a great deal of the covering, lobbying, softlanding etc will be done by your wife because, she still remains their daughter.
You need to sit down together and work out the most helpful way out -I pray she is the understanding type, and there is mutual love among the siblings.
And as things stand now, you may need to bury your ego and make your presence felt while the whole thing last.
Don't invite a crowd, and be ready to bear indirect insult.
Please keep your hope for a better day high. It is no crime to be broke in a moment, you may be the breadwinner of the whole family tomorrow.
Cheers bro

Thanks bro

James4358:
Three big goats. Eight yams. Four cartons of beer. Four gallons of palm wine. ...is a 150 k expenses where do I go and borrow that at this time. I Would have loved to help u with that amount, but how will u pay back seeing that this is a faceless forun! I understand ur predicament in this matter.

Thanks my brother...but to be honest with you if I borrow that money it's going to affect me because after the burial my children will eat and go to school. In fact I had to suspend their resumption this term just so I can use my whole salary l to package them for the travel. That is much sacrifice for me.

JovialJune:
Hahaha Igbo people, una no go kill person with laugh

Is that all you have to say?

And what is really funny here because am not really smiling at all o as the matter choke.
