Dnt wait to know a man too well before you marry cos you can never ever know a man too well even your father trust me...it's even worst with we the men sef, you know, you women pretend alot??, so, trying to know a woman is a total waste of time...my usual advice to everybody dampling into marriage is, know the person's family backgroung and his/her relationship with their parents...if the person has a good record and rapour with his/her family and have something decent doing then give it a try....

But note this...

Always know that you are coming to spend the rest of your life with a total stranger, expect uncertainties cos they are certainly gonna emerge so you'd know how to handle it
Don't just marry for love, marry because you are compatible in all ramifications

My dear, i still have alot to type but no strength...better of on whatsapp so i'd counsel you properly...

Lastly, have the mindset that you gonna make your marriage work no matter what...

Ok, maybe later or wharsapp?, your choice tho.

what she can do in the kitchen does not determine her value. she might be good in other things that would move the family forward other than food.

I guess you are yet to hear about 'Efulefu', it's not everyone who yells, 'I'm Igbo' is actually Igbo.. Some are Efulefu'..

When the essence of ur birth has been stuffed with excess watery Ewedu and gbegiri, how then could one blame you for 'thinking' you are Igbo even when you are from IMO or Ebonyi state..

How would know if there is any.. Recession hunger and stomach uproar tormenting you has encroach your brain with dashing blows..

When you sit on the dwarf fence of your dilapidated yard somewhere in Osun with troubling stomach wreck yawning on SE cum Igbo issues..

Tell me, how would you know if there is anyone like your god and saviour Tinubu?

rowanMama:
I think disadvantage.

Igboid:
Take Okpara for example, he was a respected Igbo leader across all boards.

He was selfless. For all he spent in government, Okpara lived a decent man, he was never a rich man, go to his place in Afugiri Ohuhu Umuahia, he left no loot for his children, he depended only on his salary, his driving force was only how to place the Eastern region on high pedestal, can we say the same Of any of our current politicians? They are all selfish, only looking out for the interest of themselves and their immediate family.

Azikiwe another respected Igbo leader. He built the University of Nigeria in Nsukka, modern day Igbo politician would rather build such in his immediate town or Local government. Ike Nwachukwu took ABSU to Uturu, Chimaroke took ESUT to his Agbani hometown, and was instrumental in the building of Nigerian law school in Agbani. Ngige was plotting on how to bring a campus of ANSU to his hometown Alor before he was removed. Sam Egwu built the New EBSU permanent site close to his Ezza ngbo home town.

A prominent SE senator diverted the money meant for Enugu-PH express road to constituency project fund and used it to build inner lesser used roads in his Aninri/ Awgu area. The rest of us that are not from his area should go and die.

This is the big issue. Every one only care about his area. No one looks after "our area", yet they expect to be "our leader" and not the leader of their respective mushroom units. If I leave my state and support you, knowing that you would divert any project meant for us to your own people, I can never take you as my leader, you can only become a leader of your own people.

So, this is the issue. Until a leader who would put the welfare of the next Igbo man at same level as his , the welfare of the next village same as his, who will put the welfare of the next Igbo speaking town, clan, state, region, at same level as his, there will never be an Igbo leader.
They will all remain leaders of their respective families, villages, towns, states, etc.

Igboid:
Well, it's a complex issue. No one single answer to it. But we can all agree that it's deeply rooted on the clannish nature of an Igbo man.

His first allegiance is to his immediate family, his extended family, village, town,clan, state, and then ethnic group.
He doesn't believe anyone else can take care of his family, village, town, state, ethnic group, more than himself, his family members, his town members, his state members, his clan members, his ethnic group members, as the case may be.

It breeds a sense of suspicion in him. Only a transparent, selfless,non parochial minded individual can assuage his suspicion, to enable him place the welfare of his family, village, town, clan, ethnic group, on the hands of person's not members of those units.

Since the end of the civil war, Ndiigbo had struggled to produce a selfless, non parochial leader. Hence the reason it has become impossible to produce a pan Igbo leader.

Abagworo:
You're right. In Igboland everyone has an opinion and people listen to whosoever has the best at the moment. Respect comes more from achievement than from birth. IMHO it is a very good thing.

biaframustcome:
OK free correction. The topic should read

"Why Is There No Respected Regional Politician In South East"

Basic principle of most language is "don't waste words"

Dre re many
We just don't worship them like you folks

Rather we have respects 4 technocrats

Like Soludo, NOI, PETER OBI, TONY ELUMELU, LATE AKUNYILI, nad many more
Infact there is hardly a VILLAGE in the east without Technocrats who are directly or indirectly impacting on the lives of dre pple

then the freedom fighters
UWAZURUIKE, NNAMDI NKANU and many more Fighters to come.
Then how does it benefit the political advancement of the igbo within the confince of present Nigerian politics when there is no one such individual who could pull a crowd across state divide


Let me Educate you about an average IGBO MAN ideology,

"As long as u re not his direct benefactor, be you billionaiere, he gives no poo about you"

D only reason you think Tinubu is powerful is because d SW worship him,
M sure u can spot d difference now that it's National politics...


Comprehehnde?

CHIJIOKE1314:
Foolishness made you see Tinubu in a light he himself couldn't even comprehend..

Ndigbo won't allow you deceive them for a long time..
It might click for you in the first year but, all the record you presented would be on your desk for defence in the second year..

I wonder what Tinubu did that we still have people dying of poverty in the SW likewise in every part of this damn contraption called Nigeria..

biaframustcome:

Good question, abeg modify the title of the thread, there is a typo there.
Now back to your question. Every Igboman is capable of leadership. We are republican by nature.

rowanMama:
Because ndigbo believe everyone is a king/strongman of his own home.

Ever heard 'igbo enwero eze'?

I may be wrong tho bt that's my opiniõn.

Yyeske:
I don't think it's all communities in Anambra that forbids python(eke), areas around Agulu, Idemili and some area forbids it though.
Who the heck wrote this trash, how can Enugwu Ukwu border Ebonyi state, do we even share any border with Ebonyi? The writer must have been high before writing this
