Happy birthday.

This guy sef.

Buhari still dey carry face?

That Trump yarn pepper am o.

''Enough'', yet pronounced /enuf/

What is the 'gh' doing there?

''Knife'' also comes to mind.

Wasting the 'k' for no reason.

.

In the light of this, it would be a mistake to trust INEC to be unbiased in 2019.

Everybody must shine their eyes at the polling units.

Igbo language for Igbo children in Lagos. Great move.

Our people outside our homeland should be encouraged to learn and speak Igbo language.

It's OUR language for pete's sake!

Sweet gal.

Why do this now?

When it comes to football, Messi is the way to go.

The undisputed G.O.A.T.

Nice one.

A grave mistake.

This kemi of a woman needs serious help, seriously.

Wise lady.

Promoting our own.

Judge amaka!

Shine on, sweet gyal.

(clears throat)

That ololade guy is a complete ijiot.

Genny baby amaka.

Welcome back home, umunne anyi.

Buhari has to be there.

No Buhari, no debate.

The Acting National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Yekini Nabena, has accepted Senate President, Bukola Saraki’s challenge to debate national issues on any national television.
Saraki, in a statementby his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Yusuph Olaniyonu, had said: “Mr Yekinni Nabena should know by now that many people on the media believe he is a robot and has no face. Here is an opportunity for him to come out of his hiding and come on a national television to debate all the issues he has raised with one of the aides of the Senate President.

“We hope he will take up this challenge and stop behaving like a masquerade. He is free to choose any independent TV station of his choice.
“When his masters show their face, we will debate all the issues they have raised and the ones they may wish to even concoct,” the statement said.
Responding to Saraki’s challenge, Nabena noted that the debate will be between the party and Saraki, not his aides.

His words: “Is it his aides that will argue for him? What about himself? I am challenging him to come out and debate on national issues with the leadership of the APC.
“He has declared for presidency. If he feels he knows what he will go and do there, he should come out and tell Nigerians. It’s not by bringing his aides. Are they the ones running for presidency?
“APC is ready to take him up on any issue. He believes that he doesn’t have any issue apart from his personal and selfish interest,” he said.

The intention is not to downplay the significance of other tribes and women in Nigeria. Certainly not; one cannot legislate love and goodness. I have travelled widely in this country and interacted (and still interact) with people of different backgrounds and tribes. One group of women different from others is the Igbo. Igbo women tower above women from other tribes, for the simple reason that they are friendly with people who aren’t members of their geographical block as a matter of course. They don’t fake it. It is just who they are. Many women elsewhere see making friends as a risk and recoil from making friends with people outside their locale. With some, you don’t stand a chance. Without reservation, Igbo women are very receptive and most do not mind marriage to a non-Igbo.
I sometimes wonder if people would be better treated if they only married from their backyard and built themselves up by building up their people while ring-fencing others. So why do many women someplace surround themselves with people from our ‘tribe?’

Wouldn’t love be a phony baloney and a bollocks if we only respect our own, only care about the people who are ours and give them credit for everything novel and good whilst placing failure on other people.‬ Relationship-building can’t be legislated upon but might it not be better if all women in this country are as integrated as the women from the east? If this were so, demonstrations of honesty and integrity would be easy.
After all, a country can only be built when people from all divides are engaged and their strength leveraged for the benefit of others. The country needs to be peopled with folks not afraid to take risks. Women who aren’t secure, with feelings of inadequacy always seek approval from men. A woman lost her child who was sick only because she was scared to take the child to the hospital without the say-so of the husband who was not at home, despite pressure from neighbours to do so. Most Igbo are socially aware and do not walk on egg-shells in their social interactions. I may be wrong but they are expressive, energetic and optimistic. Nigeria needs to envision the future and one way is to look at the women of the east as a case study for unity. If they can, then we all can. Many people need to be convinced about oneness so they can coach others and lead them in a new direction.

Empowerment of people should be total so as to enable them focus on the right things, be thick-skinned when men of straw with no history come calling, and have a high sense of duty to fatherland.‬ The women I know who embraced change and yet failed, only failed because of bad guidance from kinfolk behind the curtain. All told, Igbo women are a special breed.

It appears daddy freeze has something against pastors.

He should go look for the real cause of his frustrations.

A government that thrives on lies and deceit.

Sweet Genny.

Congrats.

Which is safer? None of them, really.

Masturbation drains your energy and nutrients, pollutes your aura, exposes you to infestation to elemental spirits. Besides it is very addictive. Very difficult to break, though not impossible.

Using prostitutes exposes you to STDs, exposes you to soul ties. Sleeping with several women can mess one up spiritually.

Self control is the best. Marriage would be next in line. In the event that it is not convenient to get married now, find a loyal/faithful partner.

Juliusmalema:
Her statement is an insult to anambra.

So her summary is that anambra is the problem of igboland.

Exactly.

A rather unfortunate statement.

ziondaughter247:
Don't generalize. Only Anambra people have this in their blood! That is why I can never support an Anambra ruler. They are naturally wicked, insecure and jealous. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is from Delta, her husband is from Abia and she's repping Abians. We are very proud of her in Abia. Even my friend's LGA in Imo state was formerly run by a woman from another state, but if married from that LGA. Anambra people will come to Lagos and contest for elections - Joe Igbokwe (Nnewi) is holding fort in APC Lagos and he's not going anywhere soon. They believe they are the only ones that should rule and have their way, if it's not their own, they will never agree. They are the real problem of Biafra. Igbos in general are very chilled, educated, happy people. See Imo people especially(very enlightened people). That is why they and Anambra can never get along. Look at Bianca that is a whole ikemba's wife is being rubbished by these people because of tribalism

U just dey carry personal beef for Ndi Anambra.

We are not like what you described. It's just a mischievous few that cause wahala every now and them.

Make no mistakes, Igbo bu ofu. Onye aghana Nwanne ya.

What nonsense.

She married the Great Ojukwu, so she's from Anambra and can represent Anambra.

Emeka Ojukwu jnr should stop feigning foolishness.

They've kicked off the rigging already. The earlier the better. Afterall a stitch in time saves nine.

Socio-political analyst Reno
Omokri has said the payment of heavy dowry in the Igbo culture is not excessive materialism.
Omokri said he suspects the payment of highly expensive dowry to be the reason behind less divorce cases in the eastern part of the country.

He wrote on Twitter, “Many people condemn the Igbo culture of very heavy dowry and see it as excessive materialism, but I beg to differ. Study Igbo marriages. Amongst Nigerians, Igbos have the least incidence of divorce. The basis, I suspect, is that how do you spend so much to marry and then divorce?”

Ndigbo are indeed Hebrew.
