Nigerian politics, will it ever change?

My experience in the US, from my observation, the government really do care about the welfare of their citizens.

Na wao.

This mountebank recently said he knows Adam and Eve personally. He is fake.

Terrible.

Good for him. Justice has prevailed.

Heartbreaking.

Election is around the corner.

Donate it to charity. That way, your hands will be clean likewise your conscience in future there is a revelation that it wasnt an ordinary money.

When will this ever end?

Terrible.

Abolition of the Osu caste system will take center stage at the 1019th Ilommuo Ndigbo 2018, at the Palace of the Eze-Nri in Anambra State.

Addressing the public on behalf of the Kingdom, Special Assistant to the Eze-Nri on Traditional Matters, Prince Ifeanyi Onyesoh said;

"Today, new yam festival has permeated into every Igbo community as an annual event; most of these communities that have copied it do not necessarily know the meaning, significance or origin. Anthropologists, both colonial and nascent once confirmed in their published works that Eze-Nri introduced yams, coco yams, and other food crops in Igbo land."

"In keeping up with the customs and tradition of total obedience to God (Chukwu), Eze-Nri in his capacity as the high priest of God, sacrificed his son and yam sprouted from his grave and matured. Eze-Nri was then directed to feed ndigbo with it as the entire Igbo population was then threatened with starvation. This act was ritualised as 'Ifejioku', (God of yam) or referred to as 'Nri myth of origin'."

"On this year's occasion, 1019th Ilommuo Ndigbo 2018AD, the kingdom of Nri in alliance with Njikota Umunri worldwide, will hold a colloquium on Osu Caste System. Eze-Nri, regarded as the holder and keeper of the oldest ancestral sceptre (ofo) of the entire Igbo nation and the position of Eze-Nri in Igbo culture parallels that of a pope in Catholicism."

The event which is billed for September 21, hopes to bring the general public to the knowledge of the actual origin of the Osu Caste System saga, which according to Wikipedia and various recorded historical facts, actually started from Nri. It also intends to provide viable, undeniable logics of its abolition and the need for this obnoxious practice to be comprehensively disregarded, discountenanced and discontinued in Eastern Nigeria.

Popular Nollywood actor, Joseph Okechukwu who has been at the forefront of a more pragmatic approach to the abolition of Osu, Ohu and Ume practices in Eastern Nigeria has expressed his gratitude to the kingdom of Nri, the elders and titled men who have sacrificed and continued to make sacrifices to see that this highly divisive tradition is completely abolished and total love and unity restored in Eastern Nigeria.

His Celibacy International is co-sponsoring the September 21 event. Both Celibacy International and the Kingdom of Nri wishes to invite all and sundry to the epochal event to be witnesses to history.

"The Ilommuo festival of September is expected to be a prelude to the much bigger event in December of 2018, where the ancient abolition ceremony(nsube ife) will be re-enacted and cleansing carried out all over the Eastern Region.

"There will also be an intercessory section for the evils of the transatlantic slave trades and a rare reunification ceremony that will see blacks of America, Europe and the Islands who identify as Easterners, officially and culturally reintegrated into their ancestral homes", Joseph Okechukwu said.

You have to accept the fact that she is running for this position, whether you vote for her or not, let Democracy prevail.

Edu3Again:

Rejecting her doesnt mean jack, let the will of the people of Anambra State prevail.

Edu3Again:

The Royal fathers have given their consent for her to represent Anambra State in the Senatorial race and it is likely, they will vote for her.

I am facing mine and you are facing yours, right? And Bianca is facing the state she was married into which is Anambra.

Camara Laye was from Guinea not Sierra Leone.

Edu3Again:
She cannot represent my state period.

Well, her husband was from Anambra state so she is at liberty to represent his state. She was married into his family.

True or false?

Edu3Again:

Her father was the governor of Anambra state, besides, she is the widow of Ojukwu, who was from Anambra state. So she is qualified to represent her husband's state.

Edu3Again:

She is not from.my state.
