I don't think some of them are fasting, i caught my boss hidding food under the desk. I pretended i didn't see the food.

Is your boss a yoruba Moslem ?

Bank go dey overflow on Friday morning. 😢

I pity anybody that will have reason to visit the bank on Friday because it will be a hellish experience, same with government owned hospitals.

On a serious note, why are banks no longer establishing branches, enter any bank especially here in the east anytime and the banking halls will be overflowing with people, l don't really understand.

When the wife has make a lot of fortunes through her comedian husband brand,she will want to move on from the matrimony.It is not that she love him in the initial stage of their relationship.

Move on after 20 years and probably with adult children ? To which end exactly

Infidelity is the curse of the south west people. The grand reason for their marital woes. Any lady marrying from there will just be used as a sample for toto experiment and dumped for another

I have also been saying this and they came for my head.
No single married man from that region is faithful to his wife and that includes both the religious and inreligous

No matter how you tried to lie to yourself, there are more Muslim population in Nigeria than you can think of. Kano alone can take in all south south states. Kastina and sokoto can take in all South East. So it's not being number of governor. Plus Yorubas don't vote based on religion else Seyi wouldn't be a governor. You need to travel out.

You are talking trash , you sighted Muslim Muslim as to validate your claim that Muslims are in the majority and l bursted you by reminding you that there are more christian governors and senators as well and you are now telling me that Yorubas don't vote based on religion.
So if benue voted base on religion would Muslim Muslim have won in that state ? What about Rivers, Ekiti , Ondo etc did they also vote base on religion during the presidential election ?
One thing I give to Muslim north is that they take voting serious more than any other people in this country, in the south, voter apathy is the other of the day especially in south east but even at that no president has won election base on Muslim votes alone infact in 2011 Muslims voted for Buhari while christians voted for Jonathan and Buhari lost woefully. He only won when christians from plateau , benue, Lagos, Ondo, Ekiti voted for him in 2015 .
I repeat Muslims can not be more in number than christians in Nigeria, by the way how many Muslims are even in south east and south south while we have churches everywhere in the North.
.Kano alone can take on all South south state ? Well I don't blame you, the hallmark of your religion is lying aka taquar abi na how them dey spell it self

@Objectivist04

Your views here shows that Igbo culture is indeed endangered. Seriously endangered by loud and ignorant Igbo like you.
It is endangered by people like you who are boldly and loudly promoting wrong versions of Igbo culture.
And your numbers (people like you) are increasing daily, causing serious erosion of Igbo culture with your ignorant forceful information campaigns.
If you don't know, why not ask or be humble enough to learn from others who actually know?
When was the last time you visited your village (if you are really Igbo) and sat down with knowledgeable people in your clan or village and engaged them in serious conversations concerning these things?
Levirate Marriage is at the core of Igbo culture.
With the coming of the Europeans and their version of marriage, it started to be fought by the church and others, and has been on the decline ever since.
But that hasn't changed the fact that it is a culture as old as the Igbo.
What annoys me is that wickedness is increasing in our land because we ignore these OLD and proven cultural practices, and wonder why wickedness is increasing.
Any society that fails to HONESTLY address the issue of marriage and sex only gets more and more wicked and dysfunctional.
So, please I beg you, stop and ask questions.

So Igbo culture stipulates that whenever a man dies his wife will go back to her father's house so that her people will hand her over to her husband's people

So if her husband's people refuse to accept her, she will remain in her father's house leaving her children and all their wealth , lol

So when was Bianca handed over to Ojukwu"s younger brother whom she is now dragging property with, shebi Betty Aleredolu is more Igbo than Ojukwu and Bianca.

Stop deceiving yourself , last election shows how minority, powerless Christians are in Nigeria, Obi Vs 3 Muslims candidates still yet olule

Una mumu too much for that religion, so only Muslims voted for Atiku and Tinubu while christians voted Obi ? That is to say Rivers, Akwaibom, bayelsa, ekiti, Ondo, benue,osun and even Ogun that voted either Tinubu or Atiku are Muslim states ?
Well 20 governors in this country are christians while only 16 are Muslims infact nasarawa escaped by the whiskers . Also there are more christian senators than Muslims, so what does that show you

AmotekunSW:
And Imo is what tribe? Hausa abi?
Old man arguing senselessly.
Just keep making a complete fool of yourself, hiding behind one finger.

Nkuchi nwanyi is an integral part of Igbo culture practiced before even your ancestors were born, you see here talking nonsense.
How will you even know about it when most of you didn't grow up in Alaigbo.

You sound like an idiot

Britishpea:
You can cry for Africa. Who cares about your Igbo culture. And did she say it was an Igbo tradition in her statement. Don’t understand why you are crying

You are so stewpid that you couldn't even read the post to see where she said it is in accordance with Igbo culture. Udele

This means Jews will go to paradise without believing Jesus, correct?. If there is salvation without Jesus, so why are you people hellbent on preaching Jesus is the only way to God?.


"Jesus is the way, the truth and life. No one goes to father except through Jesus".

This is your believe. Since Jews don't believe this, are they going to paradise because apparently you don't have anything in common judging by your belief system.

Yes Jews will make heaven, they have privilege over others because everything was planned around them, the bible says that the reason we gentiles are reckoned by God is due to unbelief of the Jews and at the due time God will bring them to himself.

The Jews are central to God's plan, they are special people and we christians share a lot with then which I stated in my first post, so I don't know where your last question is coming from

hansomb:
How ? Muslim Muslim still won, even in Kaduna. Keep deceiving yourself

So. People that voted for Muslim Muslim in ekiti, Ondo, Rivers, benue etc are Muslim abi,
For your information christians have 20 governors in Nigeria against Muslim 16 also christians are more than Muslims in the national assembly so forget about Muslim Muslim ticket.

God1000:
No Israel on the list, the so-called christian country.

According to a report At the end of 2022, Christians made up 1.9% of the Israeli population, numbering approximately 185,000. 75.8% of the Christians in Israel are Arab Christians.
Imagine, in a country of 9.5 million people, only 185,000 are christians.


The worst thing that can happen to any man is to ignorantly support the wrong cause.



Happy Sunday nairalanders

My brother, I don't think christians supporting isreal is a wrong course despite isreal being Jews and hating christians.
We share the same bible, their patriarch Abraham, lsaac and Jacob is ours as well.
.Jesus out Lord and personal saviour was born in Israel . In the bible, God makes so many promises concerning the children of isreal even to the point of saying that he will bless anyone that blesses them and curse anyone that curses them.

Islam on the other hand has nothing in common with Christianity, the bible never mentioned Muhammad, neither did it mention Allah nor Islam. Islam is am alien religion to we christians. The only person mentioned in the bible is their progenitor Ishmael and he was portrayed in bad light.
The Bible says that Ishmael will be a violent man and that he will be against his brothers and his brothers as well will be against him. Now who are his brothers, the answer is other Abrahamic religious which are christians and Jews so you can see here that God knew before hand that Christian and Jews will fight against Islam.
So all these ignorant questions as to why christians are supporting isreal despite being a minority religion in isreal should stop.
Even if there is 0 number of christians in isreal christians can not abandon them to support a heathen religion.
.in summary, Christianity shared a lot with Judaism but has absolutely nothing in common with Islam.

michlins:
you were born and raised in a place outside of your village

Oga that is lmo culture not Igbo culture, in my place she will still be indoors and on the few occasions she will come out, she will be dressed in all white or black to signify that she is mourning.
For God's sake her husband was buried just over a month ago and she has already traveled to her home town with her husband's brother so that her people could hand her over to him. That is not an lgbo tradition and it sounds absurd to most of us.
She is an old woman with grownup children for God's sake.
In lgbo land when a woman is widowed , her adult children will take care of her not her husband's sibling, .
What they did there is their tradition not Igbo tradition.

The e number 8 really shocked me, an insignificant, unknown country owing such a huge amount ,?

God1000:
This is colonization by debt, it's hard to believe that poor China of yesterday has now become the world's economic and technological powerhouse, it's all about good governance and curbing corruption.


I'm sure we're owing IMF and world bank a lot of money too


Meanwhile I don't see any European country on the list, it's all africa, Asia and south America

You are right but Belarus is Europe though

Is it only the poor and unknown that gets to 120 in Yoruba land ? Why didn't the elite with known date of birth live to that age , I am talking about people like
Adekunle Ajasin
Lateef Jakende
Micheal Otedola
The late Alafin of Oyo
Obafemi Awolowo, etc

The oldest living Yoruba elite currently is Pa Reuben Fasoranti and he is just about 98 years, Pa Ayo Adebanjo is about 96 while Awujale of ljebu land should also be in his late 90s
The longest living Yoruba elite with a recorded birth is late Akintola Williams who died at the age of 104 , that is to show you that all these my grandma is 150, my grandpa is 130 are poor ones made to look very old by hunger and poverty.

Easybet1:
Dey play, my grand pa is about 122 years today

Everybody just dey quote numbers,
Was his birth recorded ? Do you have any prove to authenticate the said age ? For your information, all these oyibo have their birth certificate intact, Guinness book of records don't consider people with no birth certificate or record.

Otti this is socialism this is not how we do it in the east .. Empower your citizens with low interest loans to set up and run this farms

Government has no business in running business please

We are igbos we are capitalist

I don't think you read the post well, Idris Wabara is the owner of the company that wants to establish the dairy farm, Abia state government will only provide an enabling environment

Sharrap,tinubu has been known to the north since 1993.he has cultivated friendship nationally and even in West Africa for many years before obi became governor

Tinubu would have failed woefully if he had contested in an unknown party, simple as that
Even with about twenty governors, many senators and the president himself, he has to use thugs in Lagos, Wike in Rivers before he could manage a slim Victory.

paramakina202:
All the things do they in Anambra villages and they call it Igbo culture even if it is unknown to majority of ndi Igbo?

An Igbo culture is a culture practiced in the entire Igbo land like, akwam ozu, ighankwu nwanyi, igba boyi, I ri ji ofuru , I ti mmanwu, I gba egbe ma a neli ozu, i wa oji ma agbakoo etc, you can't have a particular practice in just a local government and call it Igbo culture.

oyatz:
You may not understand the culture of her hometown than her.

What you just describe as 'nkuchi' is also practice in Yoruba culture, the only difference is that it is the husband's family headed by the Family's Patriach that hand-over the widow to her late Husband's brother, cousin or any close relative to 'so lo po' meaning to re-marry her, raised children in the name of her deceased husband or take care of the widow and her young kids. Other family members are also expected to assist the woman by occasional gifts of farm produce and some may offer to take one of the kids to live with them. The Practice is however fading now due to westernization/ Pentecostal christianity.

That is why I said the culture is peculiar to her home town not an Igbo thing as she said.
Pls try to understand my argument

EmeeNaka:
There is no general custom pertaining to all Igbo people. Every tribe among Igbos are unique and has some customs that are practiced among them alone.

That is why I fault her, by making it an Igbo thing, she would have said it is her village custom.

A married woman who commits adultery in my community runs mad instantly but it is not so in my neighbouring community, so I can't come out and say that the practice is an Igbo culture.

paramakina202:
Betty knows what she is doing.You do not need to understand it.

Oga what am trying to say is that whatever she is trying to do is not a general Igbo ritual. It might be how they do it in her community but not igbo as a whole. For me it is a strange ritual. The only thing that will make a widow's family hand her over to her husband's brother is if the brother wants to marry her which we call "nkuchi" in Igbo language, though such is rare now and Betty is way too old for such as she already has adult children.
Nkuchi is mostly done when the widow is young, with tittle children or no child at all.

She never said the truth what she went to her village to do

Tareq1105:
Just pray that all LP senators and Reps members would still be obidients before 2027.

I don't think it matters, he polled 6m votes without them , he will even do better this time wether with or without them.

Atiku won sokoto by 3000 votes which is like a victory for tinubu.besides,APC cleared the remaining polls in sokoto compared to kaduna where tinubu lost by over 150k and almost all the nass seats.tinubu won despite you guy's expectations whether weak or strong

So we can as well count benue as part of states won by Obi since Tinubu won only by 2000 votes ryt ? Una hypocrisy too much

Such ritual is only performed in her village not Igbo land,. I never heard that a woman will go to her father's land for any ritual after the death of her husband and I am an Igbo and an adult as well, so she shouldn't make it seem to be a general practice. Again I haven't heard about a widow's family handing her over to her husband's sibling, honestly this sounds strange to me.

If she is to be from my place, she would still be in mourning period

garfield1:
Oga, El rufai has not been tested electorally outside kaduna so you cannot over rate him.anyone that struggles to win his state cannot win outside.el rufai has never liked tinubu and he never hide his hatred.their romance was just for a moment and ended immediately.
Many northerners despise El rufai for his role in that suite massacre...badaru,wamakko delivered their states despite atiku being stronger there.
Shettima has large influence in yobe,jigawa and parts of Bauchi,the kanuris are rallying around him

Atiku won sokoto, so I don't know what you mean by wamako delivered his state.
Tinubu only won Zamfara and jigawa in the entire north west and only borno in north east
, Tinubu's victory is the weakest since 1999 with just 36% of total votes cast
