Our govs should know that an average igbo man is king in his home, they are using diplomatic approach but we the youths are telling them squarely not to dare! We will not tolerate it! Nigeria cannot survive another civil war. At the end of it all, we will all go our different ways. Igbos are the strongest and bravest fighters in the entire Africa! Ndi Fulani, be warned ,!

Yinmu!

Why are you depriving young minors their childhood? This is same thing you accuse North of doing.

Can any Ibo explain to me whats going on over there, is the poverty biting you too hard?

A Girl used Facial Recognition to Lock Her Phone...
Now She can't Unlock it, because she's using
another make up at the moment...
The Phone she bought with Her money can't
recognize her face anymore

Doesnt she have a selfie of the old makeup she can load to unlock the machine?

Tell her email me.

Ladies, this makeup artist is the shyyte...this is who you need when your feminity gets the best of you. Amazing job!!

This is rubbish. There is a legal approach to counterbalance and dismiss the request as utter nonsense...but I cant even talk because SE people here have warned me to stop talking on their issue and mind my business.

Fulani must not know that vigilante is under traditional rulers and the jurisdiction of customary courts, not under the constitution and not and not under civil courts. Again, it says SE, Ive been told to keep out of SE matters.

OP,
When you open thread about an important personality that is not in news everyday give us highlights of who they are.

Zoom that picture and look at that prince's face, who does he look like?

That's his great grandfather, Oba Akenzua's face.

Cuddlebugie:
I'd love for you to share your history books with me.
I don't know if this is a deliberate falsification of facts of history to suit a particular narrative or something.
What I do know is that though the history of Lagos is not formed without an account of the interface with the Bini, it is not correct to say that Lagos belongs to the Bini.
From historical account, the original settlers of Lagos were the Awori, the descendants of Olofin. The contact with the Bini occurred in the 18th Century with the conquest of the Iddo – the first settlement of the Olofin, by the Bini warriors and the appointment of a regent known as the Eleko by the then Oba of Benin as the ruler of the island. The first and successive Elekos became the Oba of Lagos, acknowledging the suzerainty and sovereignty of the Oba of Benin and paying tribute to him until sometime in 1850 when payment of tribute was stopped and the Oba of Lagos asserted his independence.
You can check Chief Musliu Anibaba's work ‘The Lagosian of the 20th Century’. It's an historical account of the Awori's interface with the Bini.

Just ask them what part of Lagos they own. Simple! That will settle it.

We have records of Dosunmu ceeding Lagos in 1861 treaty. The Idejo Chiefs told Beecroft Dosunmu can only ceede his crown and throne, not land.

Hence the crown was forbidden from ever again paying tribute to Benin. It started paying tribute to Queen Victoria and her descendants. Thanks Oba Dosunmu.

On issue of land Britain left it for the owners. Chief Amodu Oluwa even sued the Governor General of the Colony and got a victory in the Privy Council in England when the colonials claimed Apapa belonged to them. By extension the victory covered all lands held by children of Olofin as rightful owners. Its on record that the throne of Lagos does not own a single land beside that on which the palace sits. So what does Benin own in Lagos and where? It doesnt even have right of ownership on the throne any longer, not since 1861.

These histories are in record....not some frivolous cooked up stories that lacked fact and authenticity.

Funjosh:
Relationship between the Benin and Yoruba have been existing from generations back, so dressing like Benin people shouldn't be strange to anyone.

Thats not Benin dressing. Thats NOK dressing.

OP wonders why that dressing is found in Omu Aran. The dressing traveled out from Ife. The ogiso chiefs sent from Ife to Benin took it with them as sacred head cover. Its called Akoro.

GBOKASINCHA:
ummunnem i like how una desecrate this thread...God bless una....this is how we should treat the....see this brown roof skull miners....scratched face vultures...toilet broom soup eaters ...dey discuss us ...instead of dem to discuss how to alleviate poverty in ibadam

It is natural to discuss you everyday.

You come out everyday, many times a day, to complain that you are treated badly.

If you dont want to be discussed stop complaining about Nigeria.

Please swerve, I don't have time for bad energy.

What about using complexion, certain area/region will fail the test woefully. I don't want to call names but if you interprete this message any other way, na u sabi

Where is your test for complexion? Do you see that in the sheet?
We know what part calls itself jew because of bleached skin.

naijaschoolguru:
Hello nairalanders, This question has been bothering me since a long time. When animals have genders of male and female, why do we
refers to them as "IT" ? talk about them as, it’s moving, it’s running, it’s playing? They are not objects, so why? Please somebody help.

When you cook goat do you say " im cooking him"?

Hold on, perharps i need first to ask what part you are from.

I appreciate their sense of patriotism to the national anthem and flag but that is below the priority of human life and safety. They saw what she was going through and refused to intervene for her safety. This is why women say men are heartless. Not everything is about State...show kindness and love sometimes. Good to see she didnt collapse in the middle of that ritual to flag.

Team Lagos!

Femi Gbajabiamila visited VC Osinbajo
Jide SanwoOlu visited Speaker Gbaja.

We thank all those who supported Lagos to Speakership, and even those that opposed....we thank you all the same.

Eko Akete!

The guy is not serious. Some rich guy go snatch this girl from him again. If i were him i would keep my girls off internet and hidden away from mugus after Regina episode. He has not learnt....

VillagePipu:
You want to establish development commission when Abia is fighting Ebonyi, Abia is sacking Imo workers, etc.

The person to head the development commission would come from which part of Igboland? You think Anambra people would allow those from Enugu or Ebonyi head it?

Don't waste your ideas on the SE, they aren't ready for development. Look at the comments of Igbos here. They are comfortable being economic slaves in other parts.

On point!

Every region has its problem no doubt....but the point of discussion here centers on DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.

We should not leave SE as the only region with out a development arrangement. Even though we admit unity in the region is difficult, we can serve as helpers and support to a brother in need. If SE is doing well economically we all do well. If they are suffering in deficiency we all suffer the impact.


How can we raise awareness and what do they need to do within their own fold to bridge interests and cooperation beyond state line, so the Ebonyi man is seen first as an Igbo before anything else?

helinues:
To be honest, it is time for Ndigbo to come together and plan about their political future in Nigeria( At least they are yet to get Biafra).

They need a new party, they need new sets of leaders. They need mass reorientation of her people . Lastly, they must work together as one, not when Anambra thinks he is superior to Ebonyi..

Sane Nigerians want the best for all the regions in Nigeria.

All the best to you guys

That'ts the major problem I see as well. A development commission will need regional cooperation and by all means the buy in and participation from external diverse interests to mixup and spread risks.

What i observed is competition between states in SE is as toxic as is the competition between SE and those in SW and North generally. Example - when a vacant position in a Catholic Dioscese in Imo was filled with a priest from another SE state the people in Imo made hell of a noise to disrupt the internet. Similarly with a officer posted as Commissioner of Police in Enugu and was rejected because he is from Anambra. When Ebonyi changed name of a street people in Anambra took it personal and disparaged them thoroughly online. Enugu people despised an Anambra man filling the VC position in UNN. Mrs Ojukwu wanted to run for Senate in Anambra and was told rudely not to even dare.

These and many other hot points on unity and collaboration in SE need first to be resolved.

MrMcJay:
What development commission did Akpabio use to develop Akwa Ibom?
What development commission did Duke use to develop Cross River?
What development commission did Sule Lamido use develop Jigawa?
What development commission is Umahi using to develop Ebonyi?

The problem of the SE is leadership.
Do you think if Umahi, Akpabio, Duke, Fashola or Lamido is in Abia State, that place would remain a regional disgrace that it is?

To a extent you are correct. Each state has need for development and they do happen. At regional level, SE zone need Industrial Complexes tailored to its own advantage. What works for West or North may not necessarily work in East.

What untapped opportunities exist regionally in East that can be exploited for regional economic growth, and who would the partners be to make it happen?

It appears to me that one of the disadvantages of East is suppression and exclusion. The culture abhors diversity. Hence capacity builders do not see East as a romantic and appealing ground for exploits.

Adeitanajoke:
Naaa waa ooo...

Am tired of this country..

Is it possible; you kill someone husband and find PEACE for your own family...

...and a father for that matter.

No bro, its impossible! Especially considering the circumstance.

When a person violate traffic rules you can issue citation. At worst make him do frog jump....but beat him to death...even if this wife no curse the cosmos will curse and forsake them.

This is Amazon app testing facial recognition and scoring features to positively identify individuals by gender and expressions.

See where its testing for moustache and beard. God forbid they come and test this thing in Nigeria. Oh my God....just make sure the sample is limited to West and North. I wont test it beyond that. It will fail in certain places. If you interprete this message any other way na you sabi.

Where touting and agberoism has taken MC Oluomo, in a million years fugitive Nnamdi Kanu cannot reach.

Kanu has been touring length and breadth of USA and not even a council chairman has seen any value in him. They consider it political suicide to be seen in picture with the fake jew.

Is Okonjo Iwealaa not in US? Why cant she show love and host Kanu to dinner in her house?

I thought LG Chairmen are elected officials and are voted in. Why is he appointing people that should be voted into office?

Am i wrong?

Awol1:
Pathetically, I know this fool.

Can you guys believe she kills chicken and defeathers them for money?

She's just an attention seeking low life.

Recall when she promised to release her nudes if Nigeria beats Argentina during the world cup?

Really? Im proud of her now that she is revealed. She is a deal breaker. Check this out...

Negotiates a deal for Nigeria's victory.
Works in exchange for income
Offers marriage in a deal for improved value.

She should be applauded at such young age but very value conscious and driven.

Very good. To those of you who cannot differentiate between Niger Delta, an eco omic zone and SS a political region....does this write up help clarify?

Ondo is in the economic zone and part of Niger Delta but not in SS, a political zone.

We have a new national assembly that is progressive and forward looking, ready to work with incoming cabinet and Judiciary to steer the country in right direction. We need all angles of the nation to move forward and grow together, no one should be left behind. Every region that currently have a Development Commission, and except for SW that is self funding and self managed, get fund from the center. SE does not have a Development Commission but wants one. It is due for one in fact! What can the other regions do to support and make sure you get your Development Commission in SE?

I have some ideas but need to hear from you guys first.

When I say what can others do...I need responsible inputs from SEasterners, progressive minds, not touts and delinquent rascals at Onitsha bridgehead with a torn and dirty Biafran t-shirt with the half yellow-sun faded and turned pink.

J111333:
Must he tell the whole world about that?
He is too old for this sh1t.

My grandfather answered me when I asked why his new wife is younger than me and said, men are not from Mars, we are from Sun...just as the Sun does not loose its vitality, a man must never let his ego deplete. Women are daughters of Moon and they crave the energy in sons of Sun.
A new moon on the horizon is fresh and pure...it is ready to heal and energize. A man must find him a woman, fresh and pure so he can renew the intensity of life within him and thus heal, even with clock ticking towards a time when he shall return home to join his father above, the Sun!

Get wisdom my brother! Have you not seen Ned Nwoko lately, fresh and full of energy? I look forward many decades from now when I shall seek my own healing from a fresh and pure daughter of Moon.

My brother, get wisdom!
