like how?

You see black kids obsessing over basketball at the expense of their education. It's scary.

chigoizie7:
And u called this love?

This should be in politics section

How so? It's a love story, not a political story.

People wrongly attribute it to evidence of good living, so they try as much as possible to have one by consuming excessive bottles of beer. ..

I read this book growing up with books by Ngugi wa thiongo and I can say both writer were and are the best classic African authors we have around. I read the African child again today and that made me start wondering what happened to Maria. It's painful they had a sad ending.. what about 'fanta' the local girl he had.?
Cc: ndipe

No clue, there is no mention of her in the sequel, "A dream of Africa." Rather, he writes of his marriage to Marie which occurred the very day he returned home from France, a trip he undertook in "The African Child."

Fingerprinter:
Wow, thanks for bringing this here. When I read that book, I thought their love was just a teenage thing that would end once they go their different ways. I never knew they got married. And reading the circumstances leading to their divorce is also very sad. Why haven't Africa been able to get it right in terms of leaders?
Please @ndipe, if you have the soft copy of the sequel to african child, would you mind sending me a copy via mail?

You can order the sequel, "A dream of Africa," from Amazon.com and have it shipped to you, that is if you live abroad, or you can have friends/relatives who live abroad to do so for you. Best wishes.

May God bless all of you for helping this man exceedingly in Jesus Name, Amen.

You have to choose one of the URLs that I should. I can't include all of them. It will slow down the traffic I'm driving to my buyers. I only have one free spot for now. So choose the one that is most important to you.

Hey, Fingerprinter, did you read the story that I posted earlier?

A bird in a hand is worth two in the bush.

Go to Law school and get your BL degree, so that even if your friend's promise doesnt pan out, you can always have something to fall back on. A word is enough for the wise.

Could it be that this woman confessed to being a witch after being beaten that she couldnt handle it anymore thereby had to confess, to spare her further pain and humiliation? No matter what, what was done to her in blatant disregard to her life and well-being. Let God judge her. Goodness, people are being punished left right and center because of unproven allegations of being a witch. When I was growing up, there was a small girl who was brought in to work as a maid. According to story, the girl was proclaimed a witch, so everybody was advised to avoid her (if you suspected she was a witch, why did you hire her then?) One day, the baby was crying and there was an allegation that she tried to bewitch the baby so she was beaten for being a witch, now where were the proofs? Go to the villages and old men and women are accused of being wizards and witches, all because their bodies have altered in the process of time, so they are now witches and wizards.

Learnt of a guy in my school who was accosted by a rival group that ransacked his mom's restaurant and then sliced off his buttocks. It is really scary, just recently, I had a conversation with a former classmate who told me of a guy ( I knew him) was killed in a shootout by cops because of cult activities. His death is painful really. Yet, some of these students would not listen.

Whoever asks anyone to do that is acting on his own and not on church doctrines. There are many pastors in many churches that are fake and occultic. Sometimes ago, a pastor of CAC was arrested for burying some fetish things in his church. Now, CAC is a respected church and it would be wrong to rubbish CAC because of the action of just one pastor.
Trust me when I say this, churches these days are worst, but white garment churches flaws are easily exposed because of their distinct and different appearance.

What's CAC?

Kunlexxxx:
“From what you hear about them” please, base your facts on what you have experienced. So many people can say a lot of things which may not be true. The use of animal for any form of sacrifice is not part and parcel of Cele. It is a church that believes in grace like any other church. So, I urge you to seek the truth yourself and it shall set you free

I know that some white garment Churches demand for fowl for sacrifices.

Have him tested to see if he has dyslexia. Google it for more information.

Per Square Foot, I think Maryland has more Nigerians than any other state in the US

I don't want to believe that greed is pushing Bianca to fight for these properties, they must have been willed to her legally by Ikemba. They had a church wedding in the late 80s and some years later after her father had forgiven her for marrying Ojukwu, he gave them his blessings at their traditional wedding ceremony in their hometown Ngwo.
It was covered by NTA Newsline.

Late Chief C.C Onoh owned over 200 houses in Enugu alone. She comes from a family noted for their stubbornness.

I am not worried for her, there is no way she is going to lose this case. Her late father was a lawyer, two of her brothers are lawyers and I'm not very certain but she might have studied law too. Family feuds is not alien to her, her fathe didn't speak to her for more than seven years, she cannot lose sleep because of some greedy in-laws.

Ndi Nnewi bring it on, Bianca ada akuja akuja.

None of her brothers are lawyers. They had a Church wedding and afterwards a traditional marriage, so that legalizes the union. Her inlaws who are demanding for a marriage certificate are just being mischevious, trying to embarrass her, not knowing that they are embarrassing themselves. Their only valid claim is the property which Bianca cant dictate who inherits what, because it wasnt wholly owned by her late husband, but by her father in-law.

True.

Are you a virgin?

CRASS. It's not befitting a public burial at all and to even include "multi million naira mansion" says it all. The family ought to have given him a quiet funeral without any fanfare. Goodness, when people ask what killed him, what would be their answer? Can you imagine a family giving a public funeral to an armed robber caught and executed by the government? People need to think twice.

Esuene built this road back in the 70's. Prior to that, people used to travel on ferries and ships when travelling from Uyo to Calabar. Ironically, in this digital age, it's as if we are retrogressing to the past, and indeed, I learnt some people are beginning to revert to taking the ferries instead of taking the Calabar Itu Bridge.

Why wasnt her first son, Gabriel Billy, present?

Congratulations.

Are they students in public or private secondary schools?

Read the comments on this board about the man with dreadlocks whose son was chained. Someone call him a "ganja ..." ...

What are your thoughts on dreadlocks? Growing up in Nigeria, it was generally assumed that people who wore dreadlocks were hemp smokers, hence it was not an acceptable hairstyle. As a matter of fact, I doubt if I knew of any educated/professional woman that wore dreadlocks. One of my college friends once told me that one controversial lady disapproved of this hairstyle and would call for deliverance on those with dreadlocks. Times have changed, in America especially, women are rocking it confidently defying stereotypes surrounding it and daring corporate America (Black Enterprise Magazine publisher, Earl Graves stipulated that none of his employees should wear dreadlocks) like this woman, https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/high-school-suspends-racist-hair-policy-175133092.html

What are you thoughts?

If you are rich enough to send your children abroad for studies then it is better you do it. When the pressure to join cults mounts on these teenagers ,they may not have the ability and strength to say no and also may not have the courage to tell their parents what they are passing through on campus. No wonder Nigeria leaders and politicians dont allow their children to school in Nigeria.

Da, not necessarily true. Abroad, peer pressure is very common (drugs, alcohol) and with no parental guidance, some of these kids could fall prey to these temptation. It happens really, so dont overrule it. It's better for a kid to be under the guidance of their parents than to fend for themselves.

But was he a cultist?

Press reports.

Ete, at times, what options do you have in Nigeria when you are not paid for months at a time and there is no electricity at home? It's normal to jet out of the country when faced with such dismal prospects.
