Technically, no. They now consider him the head of the family,not husband. In Yoruba culture all he inherits when it comes to his father's wifes is their problem.
Chigold101: sometimes people just write for writing sake. Tell me where the centre get its own revenue. Imaging if every state manages what comes from their state. State like Akwa Ibom would become Dubai.
You said only Lagos, Rivers and Delta can survive without Federal allocation, funny you. How many persons are being fed by Lagos? Do you think Lagos can survive without federal allocation? If you say yes... Check how many states federal government gave bailout loan few weeks ago... Tell me what you think.
Can you honestly tell me you understand what IGR is? we're talking about internally generated revenues of each states and it has nothing to do with federal allocation.
ABEngine: I see the foot prints of the igbo merchants in Lagos, Kano and Kaduna. Let's even look at Ondo which is heated with south-western nepotism at the moment and fiery hate for the igbos.
I would kindly suggest we have a rethink if we must survive this union called Nigeria. Someone rightly noted the poor spate of the Northern contribution to our purse and yet they yearn for a centralised government even with the endowment of solid minerals. Is the case to deplete the south and enrich the North?
I swear Gowon knew exactly what would become of the contraption, Nigeria if they had let go, his current statement "With Biafra, it is finished!" would not have revealed any better why he exerted extreme efforts to destroy the Biafran struggle.
I think at this point the Nigerian agenda should be pacifying the igbos to remain in Nigeria through whatever means.
are you freaking kidding me? you "see the foot prints of the igbo merchants in Lagos, Kano and Kaduna"... why is their footprint not visible in the east for f4ck sake? you guys would never learn to face the truth... never!
blueto: The defending champions Nigeria will look to continue their stupendous match results when the take on Croatia in Estadio Francisco Sanchez Rumoroso, Coquimbo on Sunday 25th of October 2015 after attaining a tremendous 5-1 win over the tournament hosts in their recent group stage encounter.
A goal from captain Kelechi Nwakali plus a brace from Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze brought hosts Chile to their feet as they crashed 5-1 at the Estadio SausalitoVina Del Mar on Wednesday morning.
Although Marcelo Allende got one for the South Americans with nine minutes to the end of the game, that could not inspire a comeback as the rampaging Nigerians have now secured a place in the second round of the competition.
WFT OP? it is 24th and not 25th... you'll be disappointed if you decide to watch it on the 25th... match is in less than 1 hour.
buchilino: WAT I CHOOSE N DON'T CHOOSE IS MY BUSINESS, NOW I NO Y IGBOS N YORUBAS CAN NEVA RELATE. BASED ON UR MENTALLY

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubts. That's what comes to mind when I see your post. You are certifiable. I asked you if you need help turning capital letters off and you went into endless dribble ....all in capital letters.
It takes a special kind of talent to be this stupid. I say that with all due respect.
nkowaputa: To know the Yoruba better, go to www.google.com, type: "Yoruba are" and see for yourself what Google has to say.
Tank yor
You're very smart! Here's your prize - a green banana... You can eat it right away or stick it where the sun don't shine.
I also know how to use Google.com (I have a black belt in Google-Fu, actually, make that 3 Google-Fu black belts). Try typing "Igbos are" into Google and also see for yourself.
It would take my team and I about 4 weeks to make "nkowaputa is" show up with some really nasty words if needed. Just saying.

Do you need help turning CAPS off? Makes you look like a 419ner. My apologies in advance if you are deaf.
honestbabe: its quiet shameful,that south west cannot make use of their head,do you know that minus the tax igbos pay for the business they are doing in the west,southwest has little or no source of revenue apart from federal allocation,so i don't see why yorubas should not respect and applaud Igbos for their massive contribution in the development of their areas.enough of all this ranting,i just wished that God would make some changes,so that Igbos should leave yoruba land,lets see how many places in the west will look like,you could imagine how lagos would be without Igbo man activities,I respect Igbos,i wish I am Igbo,iam proud of them.they are great people
Let's start with a caveat: 90‰ of Nigerians pay no tax! 99‰ of Igbo "businesses" pay zero tax.
PDPwayoo: Why oyibo, Ghana or other tribes dont clap for plane or pilot when the flight lands? Its embarrassing as a Nigerian cos I think our dear country is civilized compare to that nonsense behaviour.
Must they clap? If its good thing, why other countries or tribes don't clap?....
I actually thought clapping was a universal way of thanking the crew! Like seriously! I'm in Europe and I fly a lot (~ 8 times a year international) - everyone clap.
ichoku: When I assert myself you complain that I am domineering and wants to dominate others.. When you attack me and I complain you say I am playing the victim. What do you want me to do? To stop existing? Impossible.
Of course Britain forced us to come to South West, first during colonialism, second in company with USSR and USA during the civil war. You had no hand in the first instance but in the second instance were an accomplice.
Now challenge yourself on the strenght of the bolded and ask yourself what you really mean. Is is that we are not one and so should not be in the same country? Blame Britain and your fathers and not the Igbo. But the truth bro is that you are stuck in Nigeria. If you have ever left this country you will understand that from Calabar to Maiduguri Nigeria is the same. We eat the same food, wear the clothes, understand each other.
Like the Ukrainian and Russian saying goes " a bad dancer always blames his extra large testicles". The civil war ended 40 something years ago...what have you done with your life ever since? The British, USSR or USA are no longer our overlord ( thank goodness?) So, who the hell is forcing you to come to the west now? Why don't you stay in your villages?
ellabooz: Igbos know who their real enemies are,so it not about wearing of crown to visit dirty Oba. Their acts, activities and attitudes towards the Eze ndi Igbo reek of jealousy and hate.
The dirty Oba was simple intimidated by the Eze ndi Igbo presence and swag, may be he was putting some kind diamond ornaments the oba can't afford in his entire life.
You know Igbos and show off.
Please check my signature before you mention.
Please educate me. How many Yoruba Obas do you have in Igboland?
NairaMinted: My dear online friend of sound education, it's BEING not been.
oh, you got me! here's your medal. I'm sure if I go through your post I'll see stuff such as "desparately" instead of desperately or "butress" instead of buttress
socialmediaman: A diplomatic way to answer that would be "The Nigerian army has recorded major victories recently against the insurgents and they have been able to purchase modern warfare equipment to tackle the insurgency, this goes to say they are rightly positioned to defeat the insurgents, and with the cooperation of the communities and constant morale boost for the soldiers, the insurgency will hopefully be ended sooner than later."
yeah, it's always smart when you have two hours to come up with a reply... and even in doing so you failed miserably in answering the question itself.
Appleyard: Good work, Soulja. i wamted to recommend that we have discussed this issues over time here, but i decided against it. Well, glad you helped him out. Its left for him now to sieve the truth from false reality.
I actually don't blame you. I think you could be forgiven because your ignorance of the topic at hand isn't your own fault alone(I sure hope so). Not everyone is blessed with a sound education, logical reasoning or the ability to critically think - especially when they are being manipulated.
NairaMinted: Hahahahaha! What a load of horsesh*t! Russia and Iran and 4 or 5 countries have been the ones impeding an investigation you say?! Lol! First how did Iran even get into the equation as far as MH17 is concerned? And who are these 4 or 5 countries? I am curious to know. You aren't making stories up I hope?
Only Russia has consistently through its Ambassador to the UN, Churkin asked that the investigation is OPEN...... Again, Russia has asked severally that the investigation be oooooopppppeeeeeeennnn......
US and its allies have kept it ssseeeeccreeeeeet and even gone as far as forcing all participating countries to sign a non disclosure pact!
You will notice a trend: Russia has been the only country that has consistently asked for an open investigation headed by an independent body into the shooting down of MH17. The U.S., Ukraine and others on the other hand have had this entire "investigation" shrouded in secrecy. They have failed to investigate evidence or findings provided by the Russians (or other independent bodies) and neither has the U.S. even provided ANY on it's part!
These are the facts:
- Details of Flight Data Recorder and the Voice Cockpit Recorder are yet to be revealed.
- The tapes of the conversation between Air Traffic Control and MH17 were confiscated by the Ukrainian SBU and remain hidden to this day
- The U.S. hasn't provided ANY evidence whatsoever to support their immediate and frenzied accusation of Russia and the separatists as being responsible for shooting down MH17. What we have had so far are citations of "social media", "common sense""unverified", "unconfirmed" evidence. Here again is the video of then U.S. State Department Spokesperson, Marie Harf (I believe was fired from the post for such a horrible job) fumbling and mumbling, unable to butress the accusations the U.S. had leveled against Russia.
- One of such social media evidence that Ms Marie Harf referenced to were the alleged videos of BUK missile batteries being scurried back to Russia. These images if you recollect were plastered all over Western news media as evidence that Russia used a BUK battery to shoot down MH17 - not minding that a workable BUK missile battery actually requires three separate units to function as a whole (The radar acquisition unit, the command center and the missile batteries itself) These images however have all been debunked and proven to be missile batteries that actually belong to the Ukranian Army.
- Another social media evidence that Uncle Sam then desparately hinged its case on was the "intercepted" audio recording of separatists supposedly rejoicing over the shooting down of the plane. As shown in earlier posts in this thread:Evidence that MH17 is a False Flag Operation this has also been discredited and outed as a fake as the audio recording wasn't one composite frame and what's more, the date stamp on it shows that it was recorded a day before MH17 was shot down! Talk about bumbling SBU operatives and their CIA counterparts!
Oga, meandsum your audio evidence doesn't hold up to forensic scrutiny. The BUK you claim was sighted by this AP reporter, if he/she really did see one, is no doubt one of those many images of BUK allegedly been scurried by to Motherland Russia that have All been discredited.
Just as the lies of the 2013 Ghouta chemical attack, Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, Saddam's Al-Qaeda affiliation, etc were sold to gullible fellas like you, same about MH17 has been sold to you.....
Give it a rest!
LOL - Russia has been doing everything to prevent international investigation. They vetoed all UN attempts saying it would create more division and escalation.
You could actually do yourself a favor and study how the BUK operates before regurgitating what your read a troll post somewhere online. The BUK system can work independently - the drawback being you can't identify the plane the same way you'll identify it if you have the complete system working in tandem. Why were the rebels using just one unit? it's simple, they don't use planes in their fight against the Ukrainian government so it's safe to shoot at anything that flies by you. All you need are spotters in a set radius - let's say 20 KM. once the plane fly by, a spotter radios in the info and within 10 minutes the plane would be "welcomed" with barrage of manpad fire or any other SAM.
I don't remember you opening a thread here on Nairaland when the russian sponsored terrorist were holding Nigerian students against their will and parading them.
Please, only concern yourself with what you know. You're reading this online while I'm right in the epicenter of it all.
Appleyard: " You don't need them to prove that it failed "? The way some of you reason is beyond pathetic. They don't need to prove anything to you, the same US that was getting it's evidence from " social media " in the afternath of the MH17 shooting over Ukraine, yet they are suppose to have the best satellite in orbit? Obama should really be pleased with your likes. It shows money spent on misinformation is not wasted.:
You said 20%, Huh? I never knew you were the US Russian test monitor officer, good job you have there.: What even make you think the US will have the real info and location of the said crashed missiles and won't make them public, given the level of acrimony between the two nations regarding Syria? There are times i think of some of you guys and wonder how such you can't even sieve the truth from the web of misinformation using common sense, especially when the facts are so glaring. Common sense should have help you understand that the US would have been out in the open with the footage and actual location of the said crash if it was actually true. Honestly, i feel disappointed in some of you guys. We shoudn't be fallen for such blatant propaganda, either from both sides.
Tell me; which nation have used the s-300 in battle and it failed? Or were you refering to the testing phase? Do i need to remind you how many weapons of the US have failed in both test phase and actual usage? How so-called prescision guided missiles and bombs had left their courses and killed untold people in warfare, and later you hear them saying " a bomb went off course?" How do you interprete that, homie? Or Must i hit ya head against bricks to help you remembered the US F-117 Stealth Bomber that was shot down by ordinary Serbian forces using an out dated old Soviet SAM; how about that for a failure, gringoo?
If you can not fathom such a low grade, amateur propaganda regarding the purported crashed missles, I don't have to wonder why you can't differentiate between test-phase and actual use of a weapon like the s-300 sh1t video you posted.
The same weapon that Isreal is practically begging Puting not to sell to Syria.
Pathetic.
Shame on you. You keep bringing the MH17 shooting up as if you care. If the Americans provide the missile launch site and images you'll claim it's doctored. The russian provided several doctored images where were soundly discredited.
Russia, Iran and 4 or 5 other countries are the only ones against an international investigation.
Social media - the pro russian rebel leader was boasting on social media that they just shot down a Ukrainian military transporter. Lot's of social media pictures of the BUK missile launcher weeks before they used it.
BALLOSKI: that you speak russian doesnt mean you know everything russian. We speak and understand english , and that doesn't mean everything america says is propaganda. You speak Russian , yet you are russophobic.
I speak Russian and know the former soviet mentality like the back of my hand. I think I can say that with confidence. I've been living among them for 20 something years.
I'm not russophobic in anyway. I just think you know nothing about what you're trying to sell to others. If someone promise to buy you a car you look first at the car they are driving to get an idea what they could offer you. Russia is a country filled with contrast - on one hand you have the super rich which sole claim to wealth is connection to the government and on the other hand you have poor elders committing suicide because they can't afford medical care.
You'll not find any country on earth with the potential Russia has - 8th largest oil reserve, largest oil exporter, second largest gas reserve and world largest gas exporter. World's largest freshwater reserve and an unimaginable potential of hydropower generation. Heck, there are some minerals and natural resources only found in Russia!
And yet, they can't lay claim to any breakthrough in science that's not military related in recent years.
Instead of fighting poverty at home, they're getting into a war they can ill afford. I really pity them.
The Russian media is on ecstasy now! Putin this, Putin that. they're falling all over themselves patting themselves on the back and and shouting how smart dearest leader is showing and how he's showing Obamka "Kuzka's mother".
What they don't know is that this is a long con by Obama to pull them in deep. This marks the beginning of the end of Russian as we know it.
CSTR2: The F-35 is a victim of its sophistication. The russians don't have anything like it yet. Anyway, those issues are currently being resolved. Btw, i see you smartly ignored the F-22, another 5G fighter.
Don't mind him, he's going through his handbook for a rebuttal The Russian PAK FA is not even in service yet (and it's already 20 years behind).
Appleyard: Thank God you know the real deal as regarding the F35. The F22 Raptor is already in obsolete mode by virtue of the S-400. And beside, both the F22 and F25 are already lagging behind the PAK-50 FA that will soon enter service. Have that in mind.
This is pathetic! where is the PAK FA? by the time Russia brings PAK FA into service in 2020 US would be few years from bringing their 6th generation fighters into service and the circle continues.
Please, name 3 Russian drones capable of delivering missiles (not developed by Israel). I'm sure you'll be pulling blanks.
Obsolete you said? don't believe what you read from russian trolls. they're paid to confuse and inflate russia's might.
