Achievable through constant practice, I've witnessed a stage entertainer lifting up a full grown youth with teeth by clasping his teeth to the belt. though highly not recommended

My dear, it's not possible naturally. The jaw muscles cannot muster enough force to carry a weight of over 60 or 70kg (talking about the stage performance you watched). Again, the teeth will simply pull out from the jaws if they're exposed to such force (weight).

Luck is on her side...Though she is not near anything called beauty! there are thousands of girls in the remote corners of this country 10X more beautiful than her, but no one to sponsor them for a competition like this....Congrats Anyadike Family!

Saying she's not near anything called beauty shows that you're either blind or extremely disoriented. If you had said she isn't very beautiful, I wouldn't have countered you, but saying she isn't anything near beauty is very annoying.
Please can you post pictures of black girls that give a definition of what you call beauty. I want to have an idea of your appreciation of beauty.

Again, MBGN isn't Most Facially Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MFBGN). MBGN tests facial beauty, character, intelligence, smartness, even height etc. That's what all beauty contests usually test for, not just facial beauty. A girl who is 5'4" cannot contest MBGN, not to talk of winning it, even if she has angelic beauty. That's how important height alone is in determining who wins MBGN.
If it's all about facial beauty, Agbani wouldn't even smell MBGN, talk more or winning Miss World.

AM A TRUE THOUROBRED YORUBA DUDE

THOUROBRED? Chei! Na wao.

sukkot:
you are lying. your leaders are a symptom of the people. your states are the least developed but your leaders are the richest. orji kalu for example is one of the richest men in the world but abia state is one of the most wretched. so you cannot tell me igbos help their brothers. thats a big lie. in terms of those who are most likely to help their brothers, all tribes in nigeria fail. the point is that THE BLACK MAN as a whole likes to oppress his fellow blacks. it matters not if the black man is igbo or yoruba or hausa. they all have the same traits

To say that south eastern states are the least developed shows your level of ignorance. I just can't engage you right now because you talk out of so much ignorance.
Pray, tell me the states that are more developed. Ekiti, Oyo, Osun, Kogi, Benue, Taraba, Niger, Katsina, Yobe etc. Apart from Federal government institutions which are more in the northern states, tell me what else these states have in terms of development more than the south eastern states?

As it stands today, Anambra is one of the most advanced states in terms of education, technology, economy and commerce, and it's one of the few states that can cope without federal government allocation.

Abia state is still more developed than more than half of Nigerian states, except for the fact that their roads are bad. Once Abia roads are fixed, there are only a few states that can stand Abia.

One thing you must learn about the south East is that development spreads across many communities, unlike in other regions where everything is concentrated in the capital cities. In Oyo State for example, can you mention any other economically viable town outside Ibadan? Is there any livable town in the whole of Osun state? Even Osogbo is nothing to write home about.
Abeg make we hear word joor.

pazienza:
Yea. But the truth is that no major road pass through Orumba south LGA. To get to Orumba south, you must stop at a point on the major roads, and use the inter- town roads , and some of those inter town roads are tarred.

Okay.

sukkot:
please stop getting overtly emotional and sentimental and lying. this man is a very rare igbo man. no igbo man attains wealth and helps his brother. if all igbo men attained wealth and helped their brother the 5 igbo states will be like heaven now. igbos like to oppress each other. thats the truth. if everybody is rich then there is no one to oppress right ?

You're not saying the truth. Among the major tribes in Nigeria, Igbos are more likely to help their brothers, whether directly or indirectly when they attain wealth than people from other tribes. That's why majority of developmental projects in Igbo land were brought about by private individuals rather than the government.
In my village currently, there are several scholarship programmes to help train the indigent up to university level. The main challenge is even in the inability of young people to pass JAMB these days, not in the insufficiency of funds for their training.

It's mainly in the north that you have rich Alhajis who will rather want almajiris that will remain poor and destitute, and be subject to their wishes than send them to school so that they will become financially empowered and independent.

pazienza:
You mustnt pass through Imo. You can get to Orumba south Anambra from Enugu by stopping at Lelu junction along Enugu- PH road, then from Leru( Leru is in Umuchieze Abia state, Umuchieze share direct boundary with Awgu LGA of Enugu state along the Enugu -PH. Express road) junction to Isuochi, and from Isuochi to Owerre Ezukala( Which is Orumba south Anambra) from Owerre Ezukala you get to Umuchukwu( aka Nkerehi).

Alternatively, you stop at Leru junction, get to Eziama( another Abia community) then from Eziama direct to Umuchukwu through a tarred road network connecting the two towns.

Eziama though in Abia, share direct boundary with the Orumba anambra towns of Umuchukwu, Ogbunka and Umunze.

The whole of Igboland is interconnected, Nigeria states mean nothing.

Nkowa gi nke a amaka. Daalu.

But notice I said you must pass through Imo state when you're going through the major roads. Okay, well it shouldn't really be must, though. But the route you described doesn't fall in the category of major roads.

Yeske2:
Not forgetting Rivers state from the Ogbaru axis to the southwest.


I will one day be like this man

You're right. It skipped my mind. Thanks for the correction.

Adelaide2:
Good gesture. But Abia and Anambra are not contiguous. No physical boundaries btw them. To get to Abia from Anambra, u must pass thru Imo.

You must pass through Imo, when you're going through the major roads,but they have border communities that share a common boundary.
Anambra shares boundaries with Enugu (to the east), Imo (to the south), Abia (to the southeast), Kogi (to the North) and Delta or River Niger (to the west).

Jaideyone:
see foolish talk. show me one oba or baale in Ibo land after you do that show me one market head that is Yoruba in IBO land. ewu IBO. don't do unto others what you don't want them to do to you

Frankly speaking, if Yorubas have an appreciable number in any part of the East and decide to appoint their leader, nobody will disturb them. We appoint Eze Ndigbo (King of the Igbos) to be like a rallying point or father of the Igbos in a foreign land. It gives his position more dignity and makes him an authority only among the Igbos, in conducting their affairs.

Market leaders in Igbo land are usually elected by traders in the markets, and they are usually known and prominent traders in those markets. Traditional rulers don't go about appointing leaders in the markets.
In Hausa cattle markets, their leaders are usually Hausas because they choose them from among themselves. I don't know of any market dominated by Yorubas, as Yorubas are not so much into trading, but if such a market ever exists, I can bet you that the market leader will likely be a Yoruba. Igbo traditional rulers don't go about imposing their people as leaders in settings where there should be a democratic selection of leaders.

Molake94:
Can I ask a Question.....Can any position be given to a Yoruba Man in any Igbo state...

You people don't understand something here. Igbos don't care about what people from other tribes do among themselves in Igbo land. Hausas are powerful in Igbo land. They have markets (cattle markets especially) in different parts of Igbo land and nobody disturbs them in anyway. Igbos don't carry it on their heads how other tribes go about their activities in Igbo land.
Can you provide any link showing how any Non-Igbo was disturbed in the south East? Or do you think it's only igbos that live in the south East? Why are you guys being paranoid?

nightmile:
Go to the cursed east to do what? When the owners are running away from home. Your land is barren .

Anambra till tomorrow is still one of the most economically viable states. It's one of the four or five states that were able to pay all their workers and still carry on infrastructural projects without collecting bail out from the FG. Other states like that include Lagos, Kano and Akwa Ibom.
Wherein is the barrenness of the South East?
Apart from Lagos, mention any other SW state that can survive outside FG allocation.

focus7:
This is a good one for the arrogant people, if they don't like it they could as well pack their loads and return back to their place. These are the same people that will not as much as accommodate people in their land and they will still go to other peoples land and disrespect them.

You guys should stop saying what you don't have any idea about. Non-Igbos live happily all over the south East and nobody disturbs them. I wonder where you all got that notion from. Frankly, it's disgusting!

IbokUtoroh:
bros howfar?
Make i put mouth small for your tory, ayade dey lie big time. I was opportuned to tour atleast 60percent of cross river state, i climaxed at obudu which share boundary with benue state, from calabar to obudu it took us more than 10hrs, dont knw how that road design is that will cut a whooping 9hrs from a journey of more than 10hrs. Cross river state is big and that road is passing thru more than 7 local govt areas.
And for the time duration, make i reserve my comment.

Bros you're right o. Chai! This governor can lie eh. Chei!

I just used Google map to check up the distance between Calabar and Katsina Ala and I discovered it's 385km. To cover that distance in 1hr 30mins, a car will need to move at 257km/hr. Ayade is a freaking liar!

Emodeee:
This should call for a debate, don't u think?

If you carefully analyse the grammar, you will discover that the guys were correct.

Guys' view:
A WOMAN, WITHOUT HER MAN, IS NOTHING
"A woman" (singular) should go with "her" (also singular).

Ladies' view:
A WOMAN: WITHOUT HER, MAN IS NOTHING
In this case, "a woman" (singular, definite) should go with "a man" (also singular and definite) and not "man" (indefinite) as in:
A WOMAN: WITHOUT HER, A MAN IS NOTHING.
But to put the statement more properly in that manner it should have read thus:
WOMAN: WITHOUT HER, MAN IS NOTHING
Putting 'a' before the 'woman' invalidates the ladies' interpretation of that statement.

yehmi01:
To be honest I am happy for her and every other neighbour she mentioned in her post.

But moving forward Nigeria is full of people who die on a daily basis because of poverty, hunger, lack of shelter to mention a few.

I will not love to be so rich in the midst of poor people.

The question I always ask my self is what else.

After the big cars, what else.
After the big houses, what else.
After all the money, what else.

Nigeria needs a lot of help from us all.

I respect her because I know she is a hard worker and she has all the right to do what she likes with her money.

But the feeling of giving back and to help others is a feeling I don't think money can buy.

Congrats on your new mansion

God bless you real good bro. Helping people is one of the greatest sources of fulfilment in life. When you see wealthy people who are into drugs, booze and such vices, check them out and see that they don't help people and as such they lack joy, which they try to achieve through drugs and booze.

Since God helped me acquire my own ride, I discovered that one of the things that gives me the greatest joy about the ride is the opportunity to give people lift. I derive so much joy from it and always wish for an opportunity to do it, cos I remember when I was trecking and how stressful I was.

I wish more people will have the heart to help. Our society will definitely be better.

tupacshakur:
Ilekeh don vex!

More power to your hand, Ilekeh, as you flog senses into the heads of them Fl@theads.

I never knew Igbos were that much in Akure for them to even have an "Eze Ndigbo of Akure", a title I find so anomalous just as I would find an "Oba of Arondizuogu" out of place.

You see them, Igbos creating threads about the beauty of their respective states but one wonders what keeps chasing them from these their "beautiful" enclaves.

Can any sensible Igbo, please explain the reason for the pathetic peripatetic nature of the average igbo person to me?

Igbos are very good at doing business, so they usually search out areas that have not been saturated by traders and start colonising them, business-wise. Gradually, many of such areas open up to business and commercial activities.

You ask why they don't remain in the south East, south eastern states are already saturated to the brim with business men. The supply is already higher than demand in the south East, and that's why the traders keep moving to areas with less supply.

Igbos may be involved in making and selling fake products which I know is very wrong, but again, that's putting their survival instincts into use. If our economy improves, and if the regulatory agencies live up to their expectations, these fake products manufacturers will naturally shift into more genuine businesses. You will agree with me that things are hard in Nigeria, so everybody is trying to survive and live a good life.

According to that Eze Ndigbo, Igbos have lived in Akure for over 70years without having clashes with the Yorubas. Why is it happening now? That should tell you that this clash has much to do with the new Deji. If you're to tell yourself the truth, you will realise that it's not about respect of any culture or not, but about the perceived notion that "strangers are making money in our land, while our people are wallowing in poverty". Much of this stems from jealousy.
Remember that this is the root of the xenophobic attacks that happened in South Africa.
Again, we're one Nigeria and the constitution makes it clear that anybody reserves the right to live within any part of the country without being treated as a stranger. All these clamour about going back to the South East won't do any of you guys good.

Ilekeh, you are frantically fanning the embers of hate among Nigerian youth. Remember that there are many Yorubas married to Igbo women and many Igbo men married to Yoruba women. I for one have a Yoruba guy as one of my most trusted friends despite being Igbo, and I'm sure there are many others like me across the ethnic divide.
The seed of discord you're sowing will certainly consume you one day. You can't run away from it.

Vanguard, The Sun and Tribune actually learnt the trade from Punch, The Nation and Sahara Reporters. If you enjoyed the services of the pro-APC dailies, you should endure those of anti-APC. That's how it goes, okay.

NgeneUkwenu:
The Three Newspapers Are:
1. Vanguard Newspaper- A very Useless, clannish, and ethnic paper, always defending criminals across all tribes.

2. Tribune: A Newspaper set up to bring Tinubu Down. So anything that can defame Tinubu's character, is always welcome by them.

3. SunNewspaper- Representing the interest of the biafraudsters, so fill in the rest!

In Jonathan's time, it was Punch, The Nation and Sahara Reporters. You were praising them then, but now accusing these ones. Such a hypocrite you are!
It's foolhardy that APC expects they won't face stiff opposition from the media, when such was their modus operandi as an opposition party.
My dear, more are on the way. Enjoy them while they last.

It is either you are physically blind or otherwise.

I think your reasoning is impaired, honestly.
I asked you for Nigerians who became professors at less than 30, and you sent me links littered with young PhD graduates. The only person there that has something to do with Nigeria, who became a professor at less than 30 is even a Nigerian-American, and had all her education in the US. What has she got to do with the question I asked you? And you had the audacity and effrontery to call me blind. Are you okay in any way?
Give me the name of any academician who obtained professorship in Nigeria at less than 30. If you can't, then do me a favour, GERRARRAHIA.

So you don't know the difference between getting a PhD and becoming a professor?

Ephemmm:
You are just reiterating needless point. Who is saying the constitution does not need to be changed before anybody younger than 30 could contest?

The point is that this provision is archaic and needs to be amended. This was how it has been even in the constitution that preceded 1999 constitution and PDP failed to ameliorate this.

In this millennium, younger men and women are becoming professor even at lesser age as compared to 30 you are reiterating here: why are you so naïve in your approach on this issue?

You need change, honestly.

Check the last paragraph of my last post. There is nothing archaic in that provision.
Serving as a federal legislator is not the only way to display leadership as a young person.
And talking about young people becoming professors at younger ages as compared to 30, please kindly give me the names of Nigerian professors you know who are below 30 years.

Ephemmm:
So, which party dominates the states Assemblies throughout the period under review? However, States Assemblies have nothing to do with this issue if it was enacted.

Get your fact right.

Guy what's your own? The constitution stipulates that to contest a position in the National Assembly, one must have attained minimum age of 30 years among other things. To alter it would require constitutional amendment which can only be made by the National Assembly and the 36 States Assemblies.
As long as the constitution has spelt out the age requirement, it has to be changed in the constitution before anybody younger than 30 can contest and not be removed through the courts.
I still maintain that there is no need for amending that age requirement. Whoever is less than 30 and is so interested in governance should go and contest for councillor in his local constituency or contest in his state assembly.
