Jerryayaebi1: A young boy I know attends kings college and complains of being bullied. He sent the video he recorded to his ward, of young boys being bullied. I know a young lady I work with and I am surprised she said it's normal. I am in ACUTE SHOCK...NORMAL How can beating young kids be normal?. What if they are injured?. Abeg o please tell me, am I too old?. Is it normal? Shouldn't something be done about this before a child gets seriously injured?.I was never a border so I don't think I can understand beating people's children like this.
Nigeria should be greater and more systematic than a piece called fulani, lets unit, restructure, if need be take out fulani and give them their own country. We can build the country we desire and deserve if we are honest.
Tell me if Owhonda, Nkanunye, Nyekazi, Mekini, Chizi, Orowhuo and Ovunda are Igbo names! As always,displaying ignorance online is a Faux Pas one shouldn't engage in. Write only about what you know
@Poster
These are some more. But Ikwerre language is very close to Igbo and so you can also have typical Igbo names like Chika, Ngozi,Ihuoma,Chioma,Emeka etc. Kilali is a Kalabari name. There are about 15 languages in RV state. So you can have names like Emeka , Tonye, Leedum, Ukarajit, Mpakaboari, Orafiri, Amadike and Chukwudi all from RV state.
Forger story bro. I am from Ibeme in Abia state and I am an Igbo, tell me if any other Igbo man or woman apart from someone from Ibeme, who can say the meaning of these names - bomije, eleyikari, mgbu nenei. Stop all these confusion and think about how to improve your life, Igbo language is with verious dialects.
Arewa1stSon: both fulanis and Hausas rule northern Nigeria.
I never for once boast of conquering northern Nigeria... We are not in the period of conquest!!
The Hausas are smarter and they know that they can never be separated from the fulanis.
It's too late for that.
The intermarriage has for over 400yrs made it almost impossible to identify the tribes except for people like my family that maintained marrying from my tribe alone.
We have millions of our people that have a either a fulani mother... Hausa father or fulani father... Hausa mother!
So no be today we start dey see this kind propaganda!
Our enemies believe that the only way to fall the north is to divide the north!!
You can only try but can never divide the north!!
Dividing the north is something is impossible for our enemies to achieve!!
So why is the North hell bent in dividing the south?
slawormiir: Damnnn niggarrrr Isoright Bros op must be a real niggarr... You see what I keep telling my niggarrrrs to be hard and real....ladies are attracted to bad boys anyday anytime twice on Sunday
I live my life on the fast lane.....got police chasing me, drinking alcohol, smoking some weed, banging enough pussy And I must tell you alot of girls love me for that
[quote author=Alary post=96164448] That's more reason why APC cannot zone their ticket to South East if PDP zones their ticket to the south east. Because if APC zones it to southeast like PDP,then they already gives PDP the president on a platter of gold. Because PDP will flog APC in the east anytime anyday irrespective of the igbo candidate APC present.[/quote
You sound illogical, is it only south easterners are eligible to vote in Nigerias presidential elections?
SultanOfPuna: Look at their rusty faces So They can steal manhood But can't steal money and become rich? Bunch of ignoramuses Bunch of gullible sheeps
Why won't fake pastors be many in this country when we have so many gullible ignorant people that believe in shit like this
All this is fake, UNTIL I SEE PHOTO OF THE MANS WAIST WITHOUT A PENIS AS EVIDENCE.
If a man truly lose his penis,he will go naked and show ppl proof that he is really missing his dick. What is he hiding?? Dick that disappeared?? Until someone use juju and disappear from PRISON and appear in their home. That is the day I will believe all this nonesense..
My brother, it baffles me to see the kind of ignorance exhibited by majority of the residents of that city, Aba.
Rugaria: A bit too late to talk sense to the north. They have succeeded in bullying and blackmailing the south to the point, they now see themselves as demigods.
They have really made life unbearable for the southern youths, check the number of southern youths migrating to overseas in search of better life, whereas their northern counterparts are engrossed in the thoughts of acquiring political power and in rich themselves with our collective resources.
ngeneukwuewuGOAT: They deserve what they got. Even Our bible admonishes us to obey lawful authority , so what on earth will make a common individual disobey the order of a state in which he or she reside?
Are we in a banana republic where is is no law? How dare you disobey the law? To the remaining law breakers, it is time to go home because you lost and missed how you should carry on a peaceful protest and no government will fold its hands and watch his nation drift into complete anarchy.
But in all, Buhari misfired a lot. The country is just coming out of Corona virus and he increases fuel prices. Is that not madness
NORSIYK: Today's election I am actually sitting on the fence.
The Governor seeking reelection is our son in law and the first Lady of the state is our daughter. So, if he's reelected, I'll be happy that our daughter remains the first Lady of the state and will continue calling the shots.
If Mr. Eyitayo wins I'll also be happy as a PDP supporter.
Illiteracy was behind his initial not very well thought through outburst. Perhaps he failed to understand the news report hence, his recanting and apologies.
Is it a crime to emulate or better Maradona's feat at Napoli?
Why should I take sniper? Kudos to Anthony Joshua, that's my man but have you heard about this man; Dick Tiger?
Dick Tiger (born Richard Ihetu; August 14, 1929 – December 14, 1971) was a Nigerian-born professional boxer who held the World Middleweight and World Light Heavyweight Championships.
Tiger was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991. The Ring magazine named him Fighter of the Year in 1962 and 1965, while the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA) named him Fighter of the Year in 1962 and 1966. In 2002, Tiger was voted by The Ring magazine as the 31st greatest fighter of the last 80 years.
Calm down and stop doing gra gra, I love boxing, i love Joshua but my favourite boxer still remains Mike Tyson.
Calm down bro, that man never offended anyone. Why are you dragging him into unnecessary comparisons?
[quote author=Handsomecole post=92197642]A mild drama ensued at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri as the Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu was held hostage by supporters who insisted he must declare his readiness to run for President in 2023 before leaving the airport.
The Chief Whip of the Senate and former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu made his first entrance to the South-East, almost two months after his release from the Kuje custodial centre.
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu arrived the Domestic Wing of the Sam Mbakwe Airport, Owerri at exactly, 1:32 pm via a private jet and was making his way out of the arrival when he was accosted by thousands of supporters. The visibly elated crowd made it nearly impossible for the former Governor to access his vehicle as they insisted he must declare his interest before they allow him leave.
The Senator, however waved at his supporters and asked them to in his words “Only thank God for me” before he was whisked into a waiting vehicle.
The office of the Chief Whip of the Senate had earlier issued a directive appealing to well-wishers and supporters to respect the COVID-19 regulations and avoid gatherings to celebrate his homecoming, a directive which they clearly were not ready to adhere to.
The drama continued as his convoy arrived Abia state as thousands of his supporters defied the rain to welcome him.
Shouts of “OUK our President” rent the air while his convoy made its way through the streets.
Meanwhile, All Progressives Congress (APC) Abia state chapter, in a statement signed by the publicity secretary Comrade Benedict Godson has welcomed the former Governor to the state.
The statement reads as follows “Today, our leader makes a triumphant entry into Abia, as a journey towards reclaiming our state begins In our part of the world. Today, after the much-failed efforts made to curse a man whom God has already blessed, that man is coming in to take his rightful place as our leader. He’s the APC leader in the South East of Nigeria, he’s Abia State political leader no matter the party you belong and he’s the man whom everybody gives the respect as Abia Original leader.
In Another statement released by the Movement for the Emancipation of Igbo People and signed by its National Coordinator Kelechi Okoye, the organization declared that “For those who sent Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to jail because of 2023, we shall use the same man to teach them a lesson about the resilience of the Igbo man.
We shall make sure he declares and runs for President come 2023 and we shall put them to eternal shame. In the coming months the whole nation will hear the voice of the Igbo people and it will be loud, clear and deafening”
The Senator is yet to make a statement to confirm or deny if he he will be joining the Presidential race in 2023, insisting he is still having a sober reflection on the events of the past months.
Asari must remain Asari! Those who expects him to condemn his own, have forgotten he's a swone enemy of the state. Not surprised if he actually said those things.
