Of course. When someone speaks up for women here, he's called a woman hiding behind the screen. When someone says anything against the government, he's called an IPOB member. When someone says anything that doesn't sit well with the Igbos, he's called jealous or a skull miner. If you speak up for gay people, you must be gay. It never really occures to you guys that people can speak up for others without necessarily being a part of them or suffering their oppression. This fact is alien to Africans where no one speaks up for others without a direct gain.

IgboWarlord:
If you like die today..Igbo is a part and parcel of Nigeria...Afterall Nigeria is not the only country with multi tribes and multi religion...But IPOB bastards like you and your kind will follow your terrorist fraudulent foolish leader into hell before you burn...This country shall not burn...See smelling IPOB coward dey call person Osu,i am more Igbo than you and your whole generation..But i can never be IPOB..I have already infiltrated some IPOB meetings in my area with the clear intention of monitoring and observing and handing over that information to security operatives..If only those IPOB illiterates know what i have planned for them...Dem go pursue me from their meeting,but i am Igbo,so they are blinded...

Ifesinachi22:
Bro if you are close to me, i would have given you one bottle. I don't even like the Biafra that would include the SS, before you know it they will say you are developing Igbo Land with their oil money. I prefer the mainland Igbo people. Asaba can be included.

A Republic that will be called Republic of Igboland.

Portugal speak Portuguese
France speak French
England speak English
Poland speak Polish
Germany speak German
Italy speak Italian
Igboland speak Igbo
Latvia, Lithuania, Romania etc in the whole of Europe, a country is made of mainly one people why should we include the Niger Delta that won't fail to rub it in your face that they are not Igbo.

Our country should be Igboland and we speak Igbo.

I will fight for this with my last drop of blood

IgboWarlord:
Nna Anyi,you are really out of touch if you think IPOB terrorists will be assuaged by restructuring..Nnamdi Kanu and his thugs wants this country to burn and implode,so his hoodlums will run riot and infect every Igbo with their venomous propaganda filled with lies and personal hallucinations of Nnamdi Cownu..But,Chineke agaghi ekwe ka ife ojo me anyi..

Abdulmumin412:
With this ur provocative words, no restructure no break up do ur worst.

Enough Is Enough: Not All Parts Of Imo State Is Expensive To Marry From

I have read several misconceptions on social media over the years that all parts of IMO State is expensive to Marry from. Even recently, a lady who is supposedly from IMO State made a viral video of how men from IMO don't marry "them" (ladies from IMO State).

I write this article to clear the air about this generalisation about marriage in IMO State. I am a married man from Imo State and well travelled individual and take it from me when I tell you that NOT ALL parts of IMO State is expensive to marry from. Stop the ignorance and stop peddling lies.

Also, I noticed that most people mistake Bride Price to be the only money paid in traditional marriages, as you can hear one say, "IMO bride price na 1 Million Naira", etc.

Bride price in an Igbo Traditional marriage is the agreed sum (by law, it is N50 but families can state the amount they want) paid by the groom or his family member to the family of the bride. This has both physical and spiritual implications as the authority over the bride is passed to the groom and his family via that sum and other rites performed during traditional marriages. Even if you, in a traditional marriage, kill 100 cows, give your inlaws both gold and diamonds but haven't paid the bride price of a woman, YOU ARE NOT married. Most times, a family may charge, for example, N10,000 but will return a sum from it to the groom, while saying that they are not selling their daughter and other pieces of advice.

Apart from bride price, other items like goat, yams, snuff, kola, garden egg and so on are written on a MARRIAGE LIST usually given to the prospective groom, upon acceptance of marriage proposal and Introduction of both families of the groom and bride.

It is true that some parts are expensive to marry from but this article will focus on the largely unmentioned areas that you can marry from without spending an arm and leg.

I must state here that whatever items any part of the Imo State or any other place in Nigeria require as traditional marriage rites to give out their daughters' hand in marriage is their prerogative.

Below are some of the areas in IMO State where you won't spend an arm and leg to get married (traditionally):

1. Orlu (Ihioma, Umuna etc)

2. Oru West and Oru East (Amagu, Mgbidi, Akata, Ubulu (formerly called, Ubulu Ihejiofor), Nempi etc)

3. Orlu LGA (Awo Idemili, Amannachi, Amaebu, Umuhu Okabia (Cubana Chief priest's village), etc
4. Isu/Njaba axis (Ekwe, Ofekata Orodo etc)

5. Onuimo LGA

6. Nwangele LGA (Linda Ikeji's place)

7. Ideato South and Ideator North (Akokwa, Osina, Obodoukwu etc)

8. Even some places in the feared Owerri is cheap, eg. Agwa

I know that some villages/towns in these Local Government areas may be "expensive" to marry from but you can add other areas that you know are cheap to marry from.

This is a new year, find love, go for what you want. IMO ladies hardly abandon their husbands when things are tough (there are exceptions though), most are hardworking, Most are God fearing, they are the most beautiful, they HARDLY marry and remarry or engage in extramarital affairs, they are sociable, they are ambitious and so on.

NOTE: In every 12 Apostles, there must be a Judas so, pray and understudy your prospective wife.

Expensive traditional marriage can be when you spend 600,000 Naira to 1 Million Naira or more TO FULFILL ALL the REQUIREMENTS IN THE MARRIAGE LIST (decoration, band, DJ, Aso Ebi and other things in a traditional marriage event not inclusive)

While an affordable marriage is when you spend 50,000 Naira to 300,000 or less to FULFILL ALL THE REQUIREMENTS in the MARRIAGE LIST (DJ, Aso Ebi, food, etc not inclusive)

If there are areas that I didn't cover, please add.

jesusjnr2020:
If drinking wine/alcohol is not a sin but drunkenness (as a result of drinking wine/alcohol) is a sin as you say, why drink wine at all?

To tempt yourself to see if it would lead you to drunkenness which you call sin?

It might not be a sin but it's obvious that it makes people to be more vulnerable to sin, not just drunkenness but fornication and the likes.

So drinking wine/alcohol is not wise. If you could avoid it, please do, because you could become addicted to it, and when that happens it would be difficult to stop.

God bless.

This brother is up against it! A great deal of our Igbo academics in politics tend to underestimate the influence of tribalism and nepotism in Nigerias politics. Yet, you can't solve a problem by pretending it doesn't exist! Those two will never support a president of Nigeria from the Igbo extraction! If they wanted such, they had ample opportunities during their time to do so..All of them that fought in that war are like that.. Moreover, Buhari has cut these ones to size! You can only be that powerful to influence or make a president, if you control the corecive instruments of the state. By that I mean the army, the police and the other paramilitary organizations.

Out of command, your influence depends highly on how loyal to your cause the guy in power is or how naively vulnerable he is, as was the case with Jonathan! But if you think that any of these two can impose a president over buharis choice, you're living in a fools paradise! In Nigeria, power is raw, the most ruthless wins. Buhari understands this... The only Problem with him these days is that his desperate attempt to institutionalize the fulani hegemony will ultimately draw a lot of flaks from different quarters and will surely create an avalanche of political tremors. And he won't be there to ruthlessly quell such uprisings.. That's when the likes of Babangida and Obasanjo and Abubakar might step in to influence outcomes yet again..
