Take this accusation with a grain of salt. If Musk is a honest and sincere fellow, he would have distanced himself from Trump right from day one by exposing him. He never did so until now that their friendship have crumbled. What an opportunistic and petty guy.

I understand that Arochukwu belongs to the Ibibio.

To me cleanliness matters a lot. Where did u get this information that Indians are non-racist?

QuinQ:
Actually what strikes me is that these are very friendly and non-racist people. See how happy and relaxed the guy is? He wouldn't be like that in US/UK. Cleanliness and infrastructure are NOT everything. I wouldn't mind living here. And he doesn't seem worried about crime at all. Lagos, you'd be worried about crime as a foreigner

Truth is that some Nigerians too dey carry this English matter on their head which reeks of inferiority complex. Would a Chinese or Japanese or Indian throw a challenge to a British on who speaks more fluent English? Would a British challenge a native indigene/speaker of a Nigerian language (like ibibio) that they speak better than the Nigerian native?

Exactly.

yinkus6750:
Good questions. Education is expected to evolve around real situation in individual environment. And we talking about Sociology here.

One of my favorites was cock crow at dawn. It was sponsored by UBA and aired on Friday night.

Her allegations against a dead person doesnt hold water because the man is dead. Dead men tell no tales. Please dont rush to judgement.

franchasng:
But why attempt breaking her door with a leg kick knowing that most people in America own a gun and are always eager to use it at any slightest provocation? This is really sad, sometimes it pays to be patient. Just like that a great and promising man got wasted in a foreign land, God abeg oh

Thank God for helping you out in the Name of Jesus Christ Amen. Dont forget to thank Him.

Misleading headline cos the article says that she was begging the groom that she will start attending his Church while the headline only says she called off the wedding. Anyway, she just dodged a meddling future mother in-law.

You can get a subway sandwich or a meal at McDonalds for under $10

Mohamed Toure, the son of the late president of Guinea, Sekou Toure, was released from prison after serving a seven year sentencing by the US Government for child labor/trafficking. He is fortunate to have come home to Guinea alive to see his aged mother, Andree, who, according to the late Tierno Bah, was a high school roommate of Marie. Please note the reason (Catholic) that was given in The writings of Camara Laye by Adele King for the divorce of Laye and Marie isn't so. Here is a video of his release.

Don't wait for them to write about this abhorrent practices against widows in igboland. Instead, turn on your computer and write about this nauseating practices.

Tmb78:
Why can't Chimamanda Adichie or Ezekwesili or even DJ switch write about this wicked barbaric practice against their gender?

Why the silence?

Even Chioma Apotha or Uche Jumbo who were always vocal when it suits them are all silence on this matter.

Are women lives not truly worth it over there?
Na question o, before you leave my message and come for me o😂😁😬

Was this ever resolved? Remember Fraud is bad.

This isn't an achievement.

It was about two hours, sometimes under 2 hours depending on the driver. At that time, the Calabar Itu road and bridge were in great shape

Bigboytinz:
haha for a trip of about 3 hours 🤔🙄

Uyo to Calabar back in my jss1 was five Naira.

jUeLiZ:
I remembered paying N500 from Calabar to Uyo during this time.

Now from Calabar to Uyo is N6500.

😭 😭 😭

Not a waste of time for me.

17 or 18?

This has validated the long standing gist that the Ibo traditional marriage list is exhaustive.


[quote author= post=99763359]The critical aspect of marital rite is bride price and it is one thing that is widely acceptable to solidify marriage.
Bride price varies from tribe to tribe and it depends on the custom and tradition of each family.
Some people believe that it is a way to safeguard marriage while others believe, it is a way of selling their children especially the girls cheaply.
But, whatever the case maybe.
It is expected of both families to take rightful steps and decisions when their children are proposing to marry.


Here is a A TYPICAL MARRIAGE LIST IN IGBO LAND.
YORUBAS, do have their list also,
But we are not so sure of the HAUSAS.
Can any Hausas here tell us if you have anything like Bride Price/Marriage List OR what your Bride Price looks like?

Chief SEGLIZ,

Not for just anybody.
We can testify to that first hand.
Real Igbo men don't complain and they can go over and beyond for them babes.

Akwa Ibom.politicians have done very little to alleviate the challenges of the citizens. Despite the vast revenues they receive, are they really any tangible projects that has been created on the state to provide jobs?

It's a miracle that Nigeria hasn't collapsed financially or declared bankruptcy due to the huge theft stolen from her resources by highly placed officials.

Quite similar to this story except he was nabbed before his wedding while the other was nabbed after his lavish wedding.

God created a perfect world.

A pastor, killed his brother! His own mother's son!! And some deluded folks will be running around calling him "Daddy"

If "brains" are sold in the market, blacks need to go shopping...

God created a perilous world, but mankind has made it even more dangerous...

One Eyed Sunday is a character in this novel, Akpan and the smugglers.

Invest that money for him.
