Pafuri:
May the "RASCALS" win the April elections.

Meldrick:
So the best way to solve the area boy problem is to legitimaize their rascality. You mean empowering them to intimidate innocent citizens is gainful employment. I really don't know whether you had come to Lagos during Marwa's tenure. You will understand that your have no excuses or defense for thuggery.

anonimi:
But indeed GEJ is right on the spot that Action Group (I forgot that they have upgraded to Action Congress + Nigeria) is a bunch of rascals masquerading as pseudo-progressives and dictators parading themselves as elders.
PDP has shown itself to be a MORE democratic establishment catering to diverse and divergent views through electoral primaries as evidence of its internal structural democratic values and obedience to court orders under GEJ's watch.

What do we have in Action Group (sorry again, Action Congress + Nigeria)? A group of geriatrics playing tingods and led by an Ashiwaju of Area Boys and Thug-in-Chief Ojuyobo who has imposed close and distant family members on the docile mass of people that makes up his party followers.

Btw, I hope all those posting on this thread know ALL candidates seeking office as State and National Assembly legilators.

THEN, WEIGH THE TWO AND KNOW WHO GAINS MORE BETWEEN TWO OF YOU.
CHEATING ON YOUR HUBBY IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO CALL HIM BACK TO HIS SENSES, DO YOU CUT A HEAD BECAUSE IT ACHES?

Obiagu1:
Just like Dapo, in Igbo it should be Da"kp"o while in Yoruba, it is Dapo. Like I said, it is a proper noun and no one is at a liberty to write what suits him because the person that bears the name will reject it.
Just like we can't write Dakpo and expect one Dapo to give you a hand shake, so Igbos will not accept Ibo.

My brothers and Sisters, Igbo is a proper noun and you can't change that!

Abagworo:
@obiagu.You have finally understood my point.Maybe the I.B.O. spelling makes them pronounce it wrongly just like [b]Dapo is spelled D.A.P.O. but pronounced Dakpo [/b]or Your San Hose example.

@boldened
You are right that Dapo is written that way but wrong that it is pronounced as Dakpo. . .we pronounce the same way we write. If it was pronounced as Dakpo, then the spelling would have been D.a.k.p.o.

I think the 'k' you included is from the igbo alphabet/pronunciation cos I remember an igbo friend who wanted to write 'Pelumi' but wrote 'Kpelumi', another friend wrote 'Kponmo' instead on 'Ponmo'. . .when corrected, they both said they thought it is the right spelling cos they spelt it in an ibo way. All the same, if you call someone, Kpelumi, she will answer but will never accept it as a spelling of her name.

@topic
I have asked ibos/igbos this same question but their answers have always differed. Someone even said the pple are igbo while the language is ibo . So I just call whatever comes to my mouth.

ifyalways:
There was nothing on the link,a picture and a caption 
I saw that too,was wondering where or how he got such news and If it actually happened.

shadrach77:
what is there in that picture to indicate those people were christians?

kemisuga:
Wat is the prove that they are Christians

Kennyblues:
Christian can let go of anything to uphold their believe and obey God's command that says thou shall not kill b[b]ut Muslims, i doubt[/b]

fstranger1:
Dont mind the Ode oshi!

Who gives a rat azz if all Ibos were killed by the Hausas?  

More power to the Hausas, IMO.

Today is Friday, not Sunday. If I want to listen to some sob story sermon, I know where to go.

You are not serious
What if the guy is a muslim and just arrived from 1pm 'waasii'. . .anyway, I was only saying he should communicate and not speak

Ujujoan:
I always knew that was her plan  . . . . to be the Senate President! 

ayodeji200:
y all dis argument abt tribes.I don't think we should be doing this in 21st century.I read a story about two neighbours having shops beside each other in jos,one happens to be IBO while d other one was an HAUSA man.On 17th of january,the hausas youth were killing any Ibo around and when this Ibo man looked outside to see what was going on,he was suprised to see his fellow Ibo brothers being killed by this hausa youth.He thought the best thing to do then and only chance was to hide in d next shop which belong to an Hausa man,believe me or not,this Hausa man protect this guy when d youth came around.what a great man!This same thing happen in a Bus coming from either Lagos or suleja to Jos,the Ibo youth gather themselves to avenge the death of their brothers,they blocked a road and when this bus gst there,all the passengers were ask to come down by dis youth and demanded that all muslims should stay aside but what really suprised me was the fact that the Ibos in the bus were asking the Hausas to disguise as christians.what re great men! pls,we should all stop all dis tribal sentiment.this what our leaders did and here we re today paying d price.lets come together to build one Nigeria irrespective o f our tribes.I remember when i was in school in Nigeria back in d days,being the first child,my dad always tell me aboutsome of his tenants who re not paying their rents as at when due,at a point,this ibo guy called Sunday then was unable to pay for his one bed room apartment and after 6months,my father decided to send him packing but before he could send him packing,he ll always call me to tell me about it.Hwv,when he told about what he wanted/intended to do to Sunday,i asked him to imagine if i happens to be d one in Sunday's shoe in d east that what would i ve done,do u know my old man left this guy with his family in that apartment wt assumption that i m d one living there without asking for Kobo but after two years,Sunday has one of d biggest and best pharmacy in d city today,all the children still come around to play wt my old parents whenever they re on vacation.what re life.

Gbawe:
Indeed . Two things are in play here. Madam herself , because she lacks sophistication and grace , will typically insist that " I go talk and dem go listen because na me be first lady" . Of course her sycophantic handlers dare not disagree . In contrast, the handlers of Cameron (UK PM) can tell him that his wife is a liability as a public speaker and the prime Minister will concur because he must defer to the opinion of experts who manage image. Sadly , as regards politics, we dont do things in a sane way in Nigeria . A semi-illiterate Senator , only in his position through patronage, can shout down a technocrat anytime anyday in Nigeria to applause from an entirely sycophantic crowd .

All we see in Nigeria is indicative of how the patronage system , rather than appointment on merit, has gotten so bad that undeserving folks now routinely represent us in powerful/visible positions to the detriment of our nation. Jonathan himself admits he is not the best man to be President . Even if Patience Jonathan is completely illiterate we can all still accomodate her if she too will be gracious and selfless enough to do what is best for Nigeria. it is not by force for a first Lady to keep confronting the media in a language she is not profficient in . Even more laughable when that language happens to be the official language of her nation.

What else do I say?

blayz0923:
was this office allotted to bianca just pop up or its case of wanting to create additional wealth for teeming rich?.

i think its tym in this country we all speak up,  the govt cant keep creating offices just to enrich friends of friends, its crazy and absurd.

i care:
but 1. Bianca is a nigerian, 2. a lawyer, a beauty queen, 3. wife of a prominent retired  general 4. a mother 5. so what is wrong with her taking bgovt positions? so is she the least qualified in gej cabinet.

insinuation must be proper and tidy.

blacksta:

Kalu Akanu:
The best solution to all the problems in Nigeria is to split the dammn nation. We have to be honest with ourselves. No one likes each other.

And to be honest, Nigeria needs the Igbos more than we need them. The entire East doesn't need Nigeria.

You will be surprised that 10% igbo will never return home even after breaking the country, dont argue with me, I have igbo colleagues and friends who have never prayed for biafra cos they are not likely to step that land (except for marriage purposes) due to . . 

Then in a maximum of 10yrs, 60% of the ones that returned to biafra would have been back or willing to go back to their various biz states, places and investments. Leaving the nation as deserted as it used to be.

Then, who will you hold responsible?

3triangle:
Good morning all. I have been on nairaland since late 2009, I have read stories that touches the heart. I have criticized, played, adviced but was carrying a burden in my heart. I knew all along I needed to pour out my heart to someone but who is that soul that will not castigate me? That will not look at me like I killed Jesus the next time we run into each other? That will not tell a best friend who will in turn tell a best friend and the chain continues till it comes back to me and eventually my family? I might have done silly things but I am not silly. Just pouring out my heart here have help me build the courage I need to pull myself out of this. My heart feels lighter and my inside being has received peace. I have read through all the comments and I will say, God bless you all. The critisisms, the advices, the curses, they have all helped to shake me up. My resolve now is stronger that ever before. I am not so sure of leaving my sisters house cos I alone know my family, but I am resolute on telling my inlaw the pain I have had to endure even if it might seem pleasurable. Yes I have feelings for him but I can fight and will fight it. Remember you cant help who you fall in love with. He has to know  I cannot live like this any more else my mother will hear it. For those doubting me, its your choice but pray you dont find urself in a helpless state. You might not see it coming.

I didnt want to reply to this post at all but the boldened annoys me. . .
Saying pple should pray not to find themselves in a state of screwing their brother in-laws or living a doggery life means you are still trying to hide under a shield and thinking it wasnt your fault.
Many pple have given you a better way to stop it but you insisted you cant take their advice cos of bla bla bla

Go ahead and sleep with them afterall it makes no difference
they have already seen your unclothedness
they have already used your azz beyond the way your husband will use it
you have already lost your dignity
they know you are a dirty sex alternative whenever your sisters say NO to them on bed. . .
you are in love with one of them such that nothin can part you, its pleasurable like you stated above. .go on, go on
