Izu Ojukwu is a great film maker. I'm looking forward to seeing this.

Nigerians with their skewed and sentimental mentality. Yet everyone wants to talk and also be heard and respected. Nigeria is politicaly inept!

Afam4eva:
It's the development between the towns that determines whether or not they'll become part of another town. What you have between Asaba and Ogwashi-ukwu and Ibusa are bushes. Asaba has not even fully developed let alone swallowing another town. It's a different case for Onitsha.

There isn't much development in all those little town Op listed like Abraka which is just a site for Delta state university and few tarred roads and fillinng stattion. Infact Umuoji is more developed than Ogwashi,Ibusa and Abraka. The only fully developed towns in Delta are Asaba and Warri. The rest are just emerging towns. However,in Anambra Nkpor,Obosi and Oba has developed on there own with huge tax yielding investments. Hence,they can't be lumped into Onitsha. And for your own safety never you dare reffer to these towns as greater Onitsha because their boy fit hang you oooo! Ekwusikwaa m'.

Afam4eva:
Shouldn't Oba and Nkpor be in greater Onitsha?

Then Ogwashi-Ukwu and Ibusa should be added to greater Asaba.

idumuose: I would like to know the state with the highest number of cities/towns
in Nigeria.

Don't come here and tell us that Umuoji(Anambra),Obior(Delta),Ewohimmi
(Edo),Zaranda(Bauchi),Mowe(Ogun),Akoko(Ondo) etc are cities when it is
obvious they are villages please.

Let me start with towns in Delta state.

1. Ughelli
2.Abraka.
3.Ogwashi-uku
4.Sapele
5.Warri
6.Agbor
7.Asaba
8 Ibusa(igbuzo)

By the way,how do you define a city because I'm seeing Ugheli,Ibusa,Ogwashi-Ukwu ,Abraka. These towns don't even have appreciateable developments.

Omanbala towns/cities

Onitsha
Nkpor
Obosi
Nnewi
Awka
Ekwuluobia
Oba

Do you mean getting drunk or getting "high" as in getting stoned ? Getting high isn't same as getting drunk and the effect aren't the same. I don't drink much anymore but I can still hit the KPOLI once in a while.

This look better than what they have in that Aguleri thread. These are masqurade with whips. We have them in Umuoji.

fkaz:

Which God are you talking of? Why would you say the God you believe in is the same God GEJ and Adeboye also believe in. The way Adeboye worship his own God is quite different from how you & GEJ worship own God. You can speak for your self but not for others on this one, pastor Adeboye can not be serving the same God u are serving.

This is like a conversation with a blind man!

skyfall:

Fashola always stands tall any day. That's the difference between being a president and being presidential.

BTW, if you think Jonathan is meek by kneeling in front of the pastor, you're fooled. He's a deadly snake. He's just at that place to deceive and play on the sentiments of gullible Nigerians.

Let's be honest,you didn't hate the President because he is meek neither will you like his if he was stern and tough. Your hatred for the man is beyond his body language. Fashola can be all he want to be and you can believe anything you want but time is a teacher!

Like I said,why must you people politicize and tribalize every thread ? The President knelt before God and not Adeboye. Call GEJ any name you deem fit but be rest assured that he is under God's protection. All you people can do is keep ranting.

Why was I banned,moderators ? What did I do to deserve a ban ? You people banned me for doing no wrong and that is injustice and may you never see justice in your lives !

Well,my high point was coming to Nigeria after so many years abroad and getting married to my longtime fiance.....I am ending this year on a glorious note. Obinigwe,ukpa ekene ka m' na ebunye gi.

bokohalal:

Skeptical about your American claim because non -Edos call us Binis.
To oblige you.
Yam as pounded yam(ema) is used during worship of Gods such as Ogun or Olokun.
Cooked yam porridge,without any oil but spiced and with the sacrificed animal,is eaten at Ogun shrine. It is one of the most delicious foods on earth.
Whole or cut up yam is burnt and placed on Esu shrine.
To keep death away from a house,yam is cut up,cooked and then mashed with red palm oil and cowries and placed around the house.
Same with sacrifices to 'elders of the night'(eniwaren ason). The yam dish is placed at junctions close by. This is called 'izobo'.
The mashed yam earlier mentioned is called 'obobo'.
No other food crop is so used. Corn/maize is sometimes substituted for yam at Esu shrine.

But do you have yam deities,yam legends,yam chieftaincy titles? I wanna know how deep yam culture is in Benin. Like in Anambra,a huge yam barn is an evidence of wealth. A woman doesn't go into a barn and you can't go in there at night. We also have titles given to people for theeir success in yam farming,like Ezeoba,diji,okotalukwe,olua olie.

bokohalal: Some families lock up the bedroom of a deceased for sometime. It is believed that the deceased needs time to tidy up in private before departing for the other world. There are 'unsubstantiated' cases of people having headaches or having strange feelings when they barge into a just deceased room.
Note that the deceased is not in said room at this time.

We practice this in Idenmili. Infact,there are a lot of similarities between Benin culture and that of Idenmili.

Bokohala,talk a bit about marriage rite in Benin.

Kingsley1000: LET HIM BE THE NEXT GOV.OF UR STATE...ENEMY OF PROGRESS

I like to see loudmouthed fools put to shame.

Kingsley1000: Hmm...willie,d name sounds like a dog...Come dis election,Dr ngige will trash him up-side down...even peterada can.t stand ngige in anambra politics.if nt d respect we have for Ojukwu,he wudnt hv won 2010election

Shame shame shame !

dayokanu: What was Anambra the biggest economy in Iboland doing with those peanut budgets in the first place

He who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones. Remember ?

Don't forget your beloved Ibadan,so soon....

Singing Osita Osadebe's "Onu kwuli njo ga ekwu nma".

I have said it before and I will keep saying it, Obi is the best performing governor in Nigeria, for the past eight yrs. There has been recorded improvements in all sectors of the state economy. He has holistically worked all sector and is on the brink of achieving the millenium developmental goals. I encourage the flower planter to keep planting,painters keep painting and road sweepers keep sweeping while Omanbala builds the strongest economy in Nigeria.
Call Obi names and ridicule him all you want but there is nothing you can do to a person who God has blessed. People talk all the trash they they like during the election but Obi once again put shame in their faces. We know who are the true Omanbalas and their traits puts them off.

Op,your observation and extoling of Obi isn't needed. We know where you belong. Go to that Enugu thread and keep praising Chime for his flowering and painting skills.

Anambra is where men are born!

Ngokafor:

....like seriously why would you look down on an Igbo woman married to a Yoruba man.
..so me as an Anambra lady way won marry one correct yoruba guy should hug a transformer or what..God dey!

Do whatever you like but don't expect me to like it. Look up the divorce rate among the Yoruba. And be ready to welcome illegitimate children very soon. I know what it is; He is nice and has money,right ? And he treats you with so much respect,right ? Have you ever asked him why he didn't marry from the millions of single yoruba women,available ? Do you think yoruba people like you ? Let me spell it clear to you. The sufferings and marginalization of the Igbo in today Nigeria were initiated by the yoruba tribe. Like God told the Israelites,"marry amongst your people to avoid bringing in wicked and ungodly people. Marry a yoruba man and you will bring in snake into the Igbo house. You are a very weak and immoral woman that's why you find love in their hands.

Just got married to a stunning damsel from my Idenmili town and she calls me "Nnaa". Gives me goose bumps.

Now,if you must know I'm both emotionally and morally against any marriage involving Igbo and Yoruba. I believe it is more between yoruba guys and Igbo girls and we all know men are the one that go after women not the other way round. So,I wanna ask yoruba guys this; Is anything wrong with your women ? I heard they all have big a.ss like Omotola and Tolu Oniru but I still can't tell why you still fancy the "bearded","muscular" and "materialistic" Igbo women. Yes,leave those ugly Igbo women the mess alone. Face your women because I believe there are a lot of good qualities in them.

I look down on any Igbo woman married to a yoruba man.

I actually prefer the non Igbo in Edo,Delta and Ekoi groups.

If Ika say they aren't Igbo let them ffucking be who they wanna be.

Abagworo: Osebuluwa is God the creator of the world.Oselobue and Osanobua might mean thesame.Ose is God while Uwa is world.Orisabruwa is an Imo version.In this case Ose becomes Orisa.Someone from Imo will answer Orisakwe while Anambra is Olisakwe but both are shortened to Osakwe.

Dude,Imo never used Orisabruwa until it was introduced by the Onicha/Idenmili axis,as Osebuluwa. Infact,the term got to Imo through the catholic church. The term Osebuluwa is indiginous to Enuani and Onicha/Idenmili. Stop claiming people lects. Just like you once said Onicha are Isu people. You are so pathetic! Be proud of who you are for a minute. Stop attaching your self to Nri/Eri and his decendants.

fijiano202: madam thats kinda harsh,she was just pouring out her heart,you dont have to give that kinda advice or are u jealous she went with her fiancee? God will provide ur own soon

Have you ever dealt with an angry black woman ?

Desola: Listen, I know your modus operandi on this site hence I take pleasure not only in exposing your buffoonery but also take immense pride in deriding you as the dregs, good for nothing jealousy laden covetous animals that you are. When your inanity and mental incapacity is exposed, you all resort to infantile remarks in the hope that your opponent is as emotionally weak as you all are collectively. Well, skunk, you will have to try harder and I sure hope you still have more tricks in that raggedy bag of yours.

While you're busy exposing yourself as one who is labouring under severe mental retardation, I will continue exposing your inherent stup1dity.

Arsewipe! If not for Nigeria, will you animals ever have the chance to see Lagos let alone oceans and seas that lead to other civilisations.yy

Are you a woman ? What kind of woman talks like this ? Reminds me of those ghetto w.hores !

shymexx: Dirt off my shoulder.

You're still primitive. Your ancestors were still running around stark naked in 1913 and were cannibalistic even when the missionaries got there in 1921. So I definitely have superior genes. Yes, I'm superior. You want to chat shyte, and yes, I'm the king of trash-talk.

Anyway, go learn how to write - I'm not on your level. Never have and never will.

However, I just want the prick who was chatting shyte about slap, to come do it. That's all I'm saying.

You are a fucking loser,dude! You try so hard to sound intelligent and I wanna know why ? You are superior to your poverty infested miserable life. I see Yorubas like you everyday, who has lived in England for decades with nothing to show for it. I can see through your miserable and insecure life. And you know that you don't worth a sshit! You are a loser and a sore one,at that. You know nothing about the people you write about. When was the last time you visited your father land,mr Bittyend ? You loudmouthed never-achieving anything piece of sshit. If you continue like this you will grow old with nothing to show for it. Shameless you !

owobokiri:

Your De facto Prime minister is igbo. The army cheif is igbo, foreign minister?igbo! Power and health ministers? igbo, yet in your typical noisy rant, it is the same quiet igbos that are "worthless' and redundant"' while you that is almost totally schemed out of officialdom in the federal level is the one commanding the grand schemeof things.. Premodial Genius! Jonathan went to Oyo and right there infront of your elites, he labelled yall RASCALS!! You threatened fire, but he won the election thereafter. Then went to Enugu and told folks there that they are the engine room of his administration.., i bet he cant call any other group of Nigerians rascals in their face and get away with it except the 'sophisticated' ones. . That speaks volume in terms of who matters most when the chips are down.. Forming allsorts of laughably ungodly alliances with diferent species of desert iguanas seem to be filling you to the brim with a false sense of political importance... Let me spell it out in simple language for you; if you think that licking the fulani ass harder will rocket you to the top of political leadership in Nigeria anytime soon, then you are living in a fools paradise. That is raw 1970 politics bieng played in 2015. Shout all you want, the fact remains that you havent got what it takes to remove an incumbent. Ihejirika will show irritants pepper.Allign with Niger and chad if that makes you sleep well, just dont get over excited or over optimistic, this is not kiriji wars, it is not a premordial bow and arrow fight for a feudal throne., it is a 22nd century battle for the soul of Nigeria, the biggest concentration of blacks anywhere in the world. So? You may need to step up your game. . . For starters, from 2014, you will be FORCED through the national conference to take charge of your gorry lives. Your clannish politics has always been driven by an overaching desire to colloborate with some wild cultures in order to loo yournghours. This time you will be stoped in your tracks and forced to learn how to fend for yourselves.. Keep playing that SOPHISTICATED politics of teaming up with vandals to loot your neighbour while getting all surprised nd and rilled up when you are treated with scorn. We will see how far that modernised strand of Afonja politics will take you. Oil theives.

Hmmm..Shhit is some heavy punchline.

ndu_chucks:

Onitsha is dying because of bad governance and state government's misplaced priorities. It is with the same kind of irresponsibility that you believe that an Airport is more inportant than urgent issues of survival and public health. You and the other incompetent fools running the state should make resolving the issues depicted below as your number one priority:



Another disgraceful issue




Eze Olodo, would you feel comfortable eating food bought at the market?



Airport ko, bird hanger ni.

These pictures are over ten years old and these places has been cleared and tarred. Next!

Anyone remember a particular song a Ghanian band did for the then powerful EDE of Obosi ?

bittyend: [size=15pt]Sir Victor Uwaifo still remains the GREATEST OF THEM ALL!![/size]

You mean greatest in Benin ?

geeez: I know every state in this country has a bit of this

However, I must commend the OP for bringing this up

One of the ways we can hold those in government accountable is through the use of social media

Ogbeni, over to you to address this

And I saw him at the airport four days ago dorning one expensive agbada....And sorry,nothing like this in my belove home state, Anambra. Time will tell which governor is actually working. May God keep us all alive. All of you people badmouthing Obi will swallow ur own words.
