SaintBishop:
You can't even spell properly who want to engaged in a debate with a dumb head like you? when the time comes, it is that same bonny and opobo people we are going to use and kick igbos out of ijaw lands.

Lost jews

e pain am. stop talking of ijawland. speak of ijaw swamp. How can you kick people out your land when you are not living in your swamp? Your people constitute nuisance in PH, sandfilling PH waterside and making a slum out of it all in a bid to have land and you're taking of kicking people out of land. You must have had your usual feel of your kai kai and vomiting nonsense.

ijawcitizen:
Bonny and Opobo are already in Ijawland and it is not up for contention. Smell the meal Ndoki people are cooking for you igbos.

We are already redrawing our map and that southern stretch of abia state in-between rivers & Akwa ibom where Ndokiland is located has already been taken...

You cried Abandoned property in 1970, you will soon be singing Abandoned territory.

You are redrawing your map from Bayelsa? Even the Rivers state I know, ijaw has no presence. There is no ijaw in Rivers state. Everyone knows that. What you have is Igbo and central delta ethnic groups who are a mixture of Igbo and other tribes. Opobo is in ijawland? smh do you even know that the ijaw appellation is a political one? How does European servants and porters who settled on Niger delta mangrove swamps qualify as an ethnic group. What you call ijaw today is a recent migration of some African fishermen and edoid groups who intermarried with Igbo's and whites without an established civilization.

What is the meaning of Brass? Opobo and Bonny? These names are either gotten from either whites or the indeginous people of Eastern region.

Every ethnic group from the Eastern region is Igboid. so called ijaw is infinitesimal and your noice don't bother us

ijawcitizen:
The ethnic identity of the Ndoki People in Rivers and Abia state has been a topic of heated debate between the Ijaws and Igbos on this forum in the time past.

Today I have decided to post screenshots of what real Ndoki people say about themselves.

Enjoy....

heated debate with who? You must have been debating with your own imagination and strange voices you hear.

At the right time every body will answer his fathers name. You'll find yourself back to your mangrove swamp and the Igbo speaking Opobo and Bonny people of central Delta people will chose where the belong.

DexterousOne:
Did you say "academic exercise?"

This ruling is as potent as anything

I bet that over 95% of Igbo's don't know about it talk more of coming to agree with it. Females inherit properties in Igboland although most fathers are much more reserved when it comes to lands. Only ancestral properties are barred by tradition to be inherited by women and that won't change tomorrow. For some places where women are totally forbidden from inheritance, it is a traditional issues not a legal one.

Do you know that eastern region parliament abolished OSU system about 60 yrs ago? But I bet the members themselves wouldn't agree to married osu if they met one afterwards. Which is why its is still practised where it is found today.It is a traditional issue and can't be settled by legal show-offs.

Isn't this an old news? Lalasticlala

and how does the court get to rule on "tradition"? It is an academic exercise.

It is an insult to name Onyeka onwenu, Christy Igbokwe and evi edina alongside those mediocres except for perhaps, Nelly Uchendu.

looks like sponsored write up.

GeneralKoko:
Lai Mohammad is the minister of information and communication and the NBC ( Nigerian broadcasting cooperation) is under him . He is the right person to regulate what is to be aired or not .

BBN would be banned , Glory to God
If you don't like it
Take rope and do the needful IDGAF

Information ministry has right to regulate what is aired but such must be within their mandate. If the programme content violate broadcasting code like showing nudity, NBC can stop it. So far they have not given nudity as a reason, only ministry of health through ncdc can prompt the show's closure on account of covid 19 violations. But ncdc had given clearance for the show, that was why NBC demanded a written directive from the minister to clear themselves of any legal liability that might arise. Because If multichoice sues, multichoice will win with damages and your own money will still be used to compensate them. I support the ban but it must be done reasonably not for sharia.

As for the bold, I hardly reply people with toutish tendencies. Just felt I should educate you.

NCDC is the right agency to stop it as far as covid 19 guideline violation is concerned not lai Muhammed, except there's something we don't know.

Ike nwachukwku has Fulani blood.

when we ask some saboteurs to check who their real parents are, we mean it.

grandstar:
No privilege my friend. Many Igbo girls bugged me for marriage. No different from other tribes.

ouch! I thought you were Igbo. In that case it's up to you to feel funky.

grandstar:
Shouldn't you be happy someone wrote this. A good name is better than silver and gold.

Yes, a changed perception helps. He might one day marry an Igbo girl. Many NL members because of this post may also marry Igbo. Many before this article would have sworn never to marry Igbo.

Perception matters. It does epp. What he has done is to endorse the Igbos. And it is endorsement given by a non Igbo, you should be pleased (Read Proverbs 27:2).

i beg your pardon.
marry Igbo? to whose favour?

People are privileged to marry from igboland not the other way. Igbo's need no validity from people, their uniqueness is self evident.

Archaeological findings say Igbo is the oldest.

which one is "Nigerian suya"?

And thousand of soldiers killed by BH should be forgotten?

They didn't state the states that'll make up their country, how did they arrive on the claim that their territory is bigger than UK and Germany?

If you think ngige's success ever had tinubus input you must be dreaming.

Ngige already had his base. Acn was even privileged to have him sell the party in Anambra. His expulsion from pdp lead to PDPs downfall till today. So he is no pushover.

Imagine a county of Yoruba and Igbo...




An unstoppable force of growth.

I have not seen a man who believes in himself that attaches on someone else to succeed. Yoruba has nothing to offer. stop deluding yourself.

there's a difference between the richest man IN africa(based in Africa) and the richest man born in Africa

pray tell

someone actually wrote Lagos in the same sentence as Dubai. If we have a place like Lagos in Biafra then Biafra would have failed. Lagos is just a crowded metropolis controlled by the federal govt, the Igbo business men and expatriates. Despite the preferential care from the federal govt, the huge revenue from excessive tax and other sources, the city is still very poorly governed at local level with mountain of domestic and international debts. Compare Lagos GDP with another city with its population and you'll be left shocked. compare infrastructure like housing, transportation, water supply, power supply and security in Lagos with its population and you discover Lagos doesn't stand a chance with any city in the world. Should anything happen to Nigeria with its FG, the Igbos will be out of the picture, expatriates will relocate too to a more business friendly environment, your Lagos will be cut to size like Ibadan the former western region capital. I like abuja despite the fact it is being sustained solely by Federal govt/oil revenue. it has more livable neighborhoods than lagos whose good neighborhoods are just a fraction of the entire crowded city.

Lagos is not the type of city I would wish for the Eastern region. Biafra should be decentralised. Having a large number of thriving cities with small or optimum population and large GDP. Onitsha, Aba and PH should decongested while Enugu, owerri, Asaba, Calabar, Uyo, Awka, Abakiliki, Nnewi, Umuahia etc should develop simultaneously with High GDP, open ports, airports, good roads, industries,power supply etc

kikero:
Well, the same terrorism is frustrating Buhari and frustrated Yaradua beforehand.

And the South too has its own long list of security issues.

The problem is job scarcity exacerbated by an import dependent economy which stifles job creation and makes education unattractive. More idle youths, food for Boko

you didn't answer my first questions.

kikero:
It isn't.

The political elite is made up of Muslims and Christians.

The civil service is made up of Muslims and Christians

Sharia law does not apply all over the country, and even in places where it applies it's not that seriously enforced.

Plus the reason why Buhari wins is because the potential opposition to him is divided.

And because we are a resource dependent economy, job creation is stifled, which means that competition for jobs in the civil service is tight, which leads to accusations of bias. If our economy was industrial, that won't be happening

Who controls the executive, legislature, judiciary, military and police? Muslims or Christians? answer me.

The only time we had a break from the fulani Muslim oligarchs was Jonathan era and we all saw how terrorism was employed by them to frustrate him.

kikero:
Were you forced to become a Muslim?

Are your kids forced to become Muslims?

Was the South east forced to convert to Islam at the end of the civil war?

Even now, the population of Christians may be more than that of Muslims in this country by a slight margin.

you claim Nigeria isn't "Muslim controlled" isn't it? so let's stay on that.

Ejanla07:
I went to mission private schools...
They remain the best to manage a school..
The quality of education is better
Teachers no longer leave school to stay in thr shops, increased salaries..
Fees still unchanged..
Anambra is reaping the benefits of returning schools to missionary..

The funny thing is higher percentage of the so called schools re all in church compounds.. I kno the primary school my dad attended no longer look dilapidated since it was returned to the Catholic Church under the community supervision..

They now have ivm school bus, borehole, computer room with brand new buildings

People don't kno education is really cheap in Anambra and they still have d best standards

What is the name of the school and how much did you pay?

kikero

Nigeria was and isn't a 'Muslim controlled state. The Nigerian Army was majority Christian (60% by 1967, even after the Ibo exodus), Gowon was a Christian and a devout one at that. Muslim Nigeria fighing against christian Bafra was a product of Biafran propaganda.

this is a big lie.

Ejanla07:
The schools whr started by the church way back..

I know. Do you think the average citizen would be able to afford secondary education if the Church was allowed to manage the schools completely including the staff and teachers?

investnow2013:
The govt is falling that's why the Church is almost in every business and in control of some key sectors in the state!!!

The church has failed too even more than the govt. Ask those who are employed in church owned establishments their working condition despite huge profit the church makes. The church should be at the forefront in advocating for social security, minimum wage etc but you won't hear that from them except because they know they are guilty as well. If the govt fails, the responsibility falls on the people to demand for change or hold them to account not the church.

The Church now operate like a business and should be kept away from public administration. The handing over of schools to mission should either be reversed or allowed under strict guidelines from the govt. The people elected the govt not the church. As such, the govt cannot hand huge some of public money to an institution that is not mandated by the law to account for them.

Abatete nkem? congrats nwanna!

I would have loved to see senator utazi's allegation against South east in quotes because I don't trust the nations newspaper, they are tribal champions.
