That's an interesting point you brought up. It's true that many cultures around the world have their own unique traditions and beliefs that have been passed down for generations. However, it's also important to recognize that as society progresses and changes, some of these traditions may no longer be relevant or may conflict with newer values and beliefs. It's a delicate balance between preserving cultural heritage and adapting to the needs of the present. What are some of the specific traditions and beliefs that you think should be preserved in our society?

Academic crap!

First justify the mix of Christ worship and syncretism brought to you from highest elite circle in England.

The missionaries of England told us here to abandon the stones of destiny bequeathed by our ancestors, they called it devil worship.

Here is Church clerics using same stone to perform ritual for the Head of Church of England.

What do you think of it? Give it some academic spice, instead of questioning modernity in African culture.

It is legitimate to audit the jihad of 19th century Hausaland, as I have done numerous times in Culture Section, to castigate Shehu Usman dan Fodio as a bandit and a terrorist, devoid of the many greatness falsely attributed to him.

thesicilian:

But it will still happen, no matter how they try to fight it. One day a heir to the throne will stubbornly marry a black and give birth to a black heir, and no amount of denial will stop the ascension to the throne.

Not quite.

Before you look at color, first look at pedigree.

The heir to throne of England will also be Head of the Church, as well Head of the Dominions of England, Scotland and Wales.

Even among white race, there are no go areas for the heir to throne. If he or she violates that code there are alternatives for next step.

1. Abdicate and go on exile
2. Die mysteriously

The topic of a heir to throne marrying a black person is too far outside the variables to even consider for analysis. Just drop it.

Baba Ahmed has a doctorate degree, does he not, and he is also proprietor of a regional university? Im trying to understand what influenced him to utter a statement like this.

I would expect someone like Simon Ekpa to issue such ultimatum, not someone like Datti. This is shameful!

Nollywood actress, how market?

It looks like all the SE women in Lagos are Nollywood actresses.

I have pulled up multiple threads today and everyone in which a SE woman is mentioned, not a single one is a business woman or identified professionally in any other way than acting.

There is something else behind this Nollywood Actress identity for Ibo women.

As for me everyone evacuated from Sudan should be taken to there various regions except that person is a resident of lagos and such a person should be able to present an evidence eg.. lagos residency card. Though I feel sorry for everyone caught up in the fall-out of the war but at the same time the South West should not be a dumping ground for deported people.... because of security risk it could be very dangerous

This was the purpose of bus by state, but Ibo dont have anywhere to settle in SE so they have been online with outcry to demonize govt .

I knew something like this will come up later... i know they will say a particular tribe was left behind in Sudan.... and guess what?? it's always the victim criers

You already know. They are perpetual victims.

The Labour Party and the PDP have taken their protest against the conduct of the just concluded elections to the United States with Datti Baba-Ahmed, Ifeanyi Okowa, Pat Utomi, Aisha Yesufu, and others, expected to speak at the event billed to hold between 6th and 8th of May, 2023.

The event is scheduled to hold at the White House and will feature a World Press Conference by NADECO.

Americans do not understand the idea of going to another country to run a protest against your own nation as an instrument of civil activism. They will never tolerate any of their political parties going to Europe or Asia for instance to complain of defeat at the polls.
Americans view people who do that as unpatriotic sell outs.

Are there beggars in Ebonyi?

I believe the photo journalist was suspended more for revealing ibo children performing rituals their elders deny exist, than for questioning the discretion of the government.

Na only Hausa and Yoruba get almajiri, Ibo no get....at least till now.

Do people need to be taught that the consequences of mouth action will eventually, down the line, catch up with them?

Well, I am not Igbo but since Igbo land is still a part of Nigeria, they have a right to make demands and expect projects to be done by the incoming government. I sincerely hope the Tinubu govt would look past the lack of support and political jabs and play fair...

Igbos are wonderful people, despite the bitter exchange on social media, they remain a powerhouse in trade and commerce and they're a unique, hardworking and smart ethnic group, nobody can deny this. Igbo Kwenu! 💚

Tinubu does not have to do shit for any region on railway and electricity.

Every region complained to Buhari and demanded that railway and electricity should be removed from exclusive list so regions can develop their own power and commuter transportation. Buhari listened and agreed. He has signed the bill and now regions have control over their power and railway infrastructural development.

In response, DAWN, which oversees regional affairs in SW has made public statements that it will kick off a regional infrastructural development and make power and transportation available throughout States in SW.

Why can't SE develop its region, why wait for FG? Ohanaeze should ask Obi for ideas. He wanted to renew Nigeria with production, not consumption. Here is perfect opportunity for Obi to lead renewal of SE and have results to show for credit when he runs in 2027.

Politicians turn down questions all the time. Whats big deal here?

Gbajabiamila is already doing work of Chief of staff. He appears in every picture and every trip with Tinubu.

Fashola will be attorney general, in his last two public engagements he hinted on constitutional laws and the federation.

The second ministerial spot from Lagos will go to a Christian, and im thinking a woman will be appointed, or Ambode will get it.

Tinubu will own Kanu after May 29th.

Ohanaeze is funny. Watch what i say here, they will soon pack all Ezes in SE in a bus to go visit President-elect Tinubu.

After the visit you will begin to see in newspapers that Ibos gave Tinubu most support and votes in entire South. They mint lies at will.

Can you all find another word substitute to use in place of metaphysical?

You are loading up my mentions bucket.

Please, I need to be schooled about the functions roles of ADCs in security of their principals, besides ceremonial.
I think long years of military rule has really made our political leaders placed much premium on use of ADCs.

On occassions, King Charles still adorn his military uniform, and when he does an aura of authority and strength is visible in him.

Charles is not leading anyone to war, but his command of national pride, strength and history is good for patriotism.

Similarly, in Nigeria, the presence of a well attired military assistant to a civilian President is meaningful, both in substance and form.

Time is a thief, it seeks to rob you of your traditions and history, and if you allow it you will soon see your ancestry erode before your eyes. Never say it is 2023 and this and that traditions are old and obsolete get rid of them. No, that is wrong. Only get rid of traditions that are injurious, to you.

Don't put an Okoro as ADC.

They ALWAYS flee the battle field.

Zik, Ojukwu and Kanu all ran away at first gunshot. Even Peter obi ran from PDP primaries before it started.

Victor Banjo, a Yoruba man led the Biafra Army while Ojukwu was shivering in his wife's skirts.

Hey naptu, abeg no vex o. I always find your post very educative, informative and forward thinking. But I need to acknowledge this quote above as a hit. When we see truth we need to acknowledge it. This post is a truth, in the Nigerian political context.

Chuksyno:
Your thoughts though. If Tinubu fails to release him, God will release him through His miraculous ways and power. Did Abacha release Oladipo Diya and Olariwanju before Abacha demised? the answer is NO, but they regained their freedom after God rendered Abacha to immortal dust. Miracle no dey tire God and Jesus.

You are mixing apple and oranges.

Diya and Olanrewaju were innocent. Kanu is not.

gidgiddy:


The reasoning of Nigerians can be so shocking to the extent that they dont even know when they encourage impunity and crime

Mr man, the judiciary is meant to be independent and not under the control of any President. So regardless of who is President, that person is not supposed to interfere in any judicial process, to do so is a crime

These are academic statements, they bear no truth to reality. Kanu's reality is not academic.

Ministry of Internal Affairs supervises Prisons. Ministry of Justice supervises Courts. Ministry of Defense supervises DSS. Kanu is in custody and a client to all three. Ministers over the three departments are appointed at the service of the President, it is not an independent position. It is political appointment.

Nnamdi Kanu is now the property of Ahmed Tinubu beginning May 29th. If you don't like this take the matter to UN and write ICJ.

It looks like Kanu will now be tried under the Administration of Tinubu.

In 2020 Kanu instructed Ibos in Lagos to find Tinubu and deal with him, destroy his properties.

Tinubu was not found, but they located and destroyed his properties, and those they thought were his.

Tinubu now inherits Kanu's incarceration and trial. I am not sure Kanu will come out of prison in next 8years.

7yrs is too lenient for this type of assault.

Offense -
1 - aggravated assault
2 - malicious intent
3 - premeditated crime
4 - transporting hazardous chemical without licence
5 - public endangerement
6 - two counts of attempted murder
7 - two counts of harrassment
8 - obstruction of justice
9 - stalking

Judge should sentence him on the maximum recommended for each offense in this list.

Europe, Africa, Asia are volatile and politically unstable continents. Make it your duty while in any country on these continents to have a contingent plan for self-evacuation when tensions boil over and they start to station fire power for conflict.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR RISK ASSESSMENT TO FAIL AND YOU BECOME TRAPPED.

Time after time we hear people are waiting to be evacuated. Americans evacuate their citizens ahead of conflicts, you are not an American.

Expect that Nigerian government will not evacuate you. If they do, kudos to them....but don't rely your hope on it happening, and on time.

I saw this one Twitter and I have been wondering the rationale behind it. I thought the aim was to get them out of Sudan and back to Nigeria? So how exactly will separating them according to their state of origin[not even residence, which still doesn't make sense ] help?

Someone that knows better should educate me abeg.

When you bus people in from Sudan to Nigeria you will need to pass through Chad, then into Nigeria...or into Biger first before Nigeria.

If they are from Borno, no need taking them through Niger, you can just enter through Chad. If they are from Kano, or Sokoto, why are you coming with them into Chad? Just go direct through Niger?

Do you see the sense in logistics?

I dont think Tinubu made those selection, blame it on chatgpt.

samsononyilo:
I don't understand why must APC supporters are saying the SE doesn't deserve any juicy positions, what would have happened to the NW if he had won?

Obi had not won and his entire media and special aides were all ibo. If he had won he would be sorrounded with all ibo.

In entire Anambra State Tinubu got 291 votes. These votes were from Yoruba and Northerners.

If Tinubu has any appointment slot for Anambra, the resident Yoruba and Northerer in Anambra are the ones that worked to earn it, not Ibo.

lhordspy:


Lol. Just look at you using 'to mention a few' at the end of the the 5 man list like there are millions of others.

Please tell me. Asides these guys mentioned above; bolded, which other igbo political bigwig supported Tinubu?

Nnammani in the list is not of his party. Orji uzor kalu couldnt deliver his senatorial district to Tinubu, both won same senatorial district election for himself; in an election conducted same day, time... Only ballot papers separated them. Funny isnt it? Yet you talk about about support.

Asiwaju got less than 1.5% of his vote from Southeast.Infact take away Tinubu's total vote in SE, he will still be the winner. If election is conducted 3million times, the number of voters for him in the SE will not increase instead it will keep decreasing.

By the way, who should he have included? The people on the committee are mostly youths and middle-aged. Igbo youths are all on social media photoshopping PICCs line into Tinubu's arm for propaganda, while the rest are cooking up fake news about imaginary Guinean, called Tinubu.

Igbos are antagonise him before the election.
Opposed him during the election.
And are still running campaign of calumnies against him after the election.

The reality of these new Nigeria's political setting now is that; No one is going to placate anyone with any political post. Everyone must work for it. Time of pity-party is over.

What you sow is what you reap. Welcome to the new dispensation.

I love this post

May his soul rest in peace!
