I don't know when last the op took that road to the east BT that how it been don since the days of gej I do take that route on a regular, part of the construction works was halted after the election this is just the continuation of it. I don't see the big deal, from ur analysis u said fashola made a call to FERMA official to know what halting the Benin agbor portion of the road. don't u think his presence could have been the reason for such high security in some of the places u mentioned. no hating BT that road has been under construction for years so I don't see anything new about it.

good one from him, tommorow is all about iheanacho vs rashford aka rashidi.. clash of youthful Titans.may the best man(city -utd) win

Aniekpeno11:
The O. P may have said this as a joke but the truth is that the Igbos have contributed alot to the Nigerian economy and perhaps still do. For those who are uninformed, key structures in the economy are or have been controlled by them eg NSIA, DMO,MOF, Ministry of Petroleum, PPRRA, I don't know if PENCOM is part of the economy but it is also run by an Igbo. I only wish they would stop demanding to break away and join hands to make things better. Salute to all my Igbo brothers please rethink your stance

u don't take a stance with people that make mockery of ur valuable effort, those that hate the Igbos far far outweigh those that see them as u do.

Victorvexz:
There nothing to clear there, the truth is u were never one, even from the time of the civil war.

haha I laugh at ur gualiable stance, u said they are not united any we haven't heard of a situation where these two unit go toe to toe against each other.

PassingShot:
KEEP YOUR SUPPORT TO YOURSELF! He only needs the support of patriotic Nigerians.

see painment. abeg u and ur president should swerve he is the worst president Nigeria has ever had, will ever have and won't be having in the near future.nak!.

PassingShot:
The current hardship occasioned by his tough but correct decisions are prerequisite to make Nigeria experience the real growth and development.

Gold only becomes very valuable and admirable after passing through very high temperature. The higher the temperature at which it's heated, the harder it becomes, not the softer.

The president needs support of patriotic Nigerians.

a president that publicly divide his country needs, I think I will reserve my support till someone patriotic comes on board. past president won elections with vote coming from some certain section of the country yet no one of them divided the country privately or public like this dullard did.

[quote author=seguno2 post =49147500]Do you understand the meaning of this:?




Read again please.
Thanks.[/quote]U should also take note of the fact that I stated glaringly in my comment about those element use in erecting those structure in the days of old. main components mud and rafia palm like material. modern housing in Nigeria consist of block and not mud brick u can't because of the king wants to erect a new palace then u change status quo.when it comes to interior what u find in the days of old can be found within the chambers of the eze/ obi.

lawani:
Onye ocha means white man, since ocha means white just like Onye Ibadan means Ibadan man. Oyibo in Yoruba means Oyi the air peeled his skin or depigmented him. Oyi means air while bo means peel. It was an Ife chief that explained it to me.

we don't call the white oyibo, we call them onye ocha, oyibo means foreign in Igbo language.that why u hear obodo oyibo like I explained before. there is nearness in similarity BT it not the same. BT begin in a complex society and the fact that the similarity is of two big tribes with overwhelming influence we tag it as one and equal. we don't call white men oyibo in the east.

Drchristian:
Oyibo is simply out of d word Oyinbo which is a yoruba word. oyibo has no direct meaning in igbo.

how well do u know Igbo language, close ur mouth if u don't have anything to say. onyibo means foreign, that why u hear obodo onyibo(foreign land). while light skinned is onye ocha. stop saying what u don't know I repeat.

mathow55:
why are you like this self? stop sharing pictures when you need to making plans for your future.
you dont get it?
I am tired of seeing some youths acting as if they are still in primitive age.
if you like defend oni or obi, those ppl does not know you, and they don't care about whatsoever you think about them

if only you can channel your energy to the right things, the way you are doing with this, your life we be better than how it is today

many of our youths are unemployed instead of them using the social media as a means of sourcing out opportunities for themselves. post useless things that won't benefit their life

misplaced priorities

Mr man, 5minute of posting pix once in 3 month doesn't stops u from being determined. and who are u to judge, do u know if they are comfortable.the obi of Onitsha is a role model to many.

mathow55:
at times when I see the way people defend or abuse some persons that does not care if they exist, it shows that we still have a long way to go in this country, some of you will come here and share pictures about your cities, artist, etc and the important part of your life you neglect, you call some places Brown roof, I doubt it if some of you have visited south western state's b4, you judge base on the few pictures you are online . my Grand father was very wealthy b4 he died about 40years ago, and before then he built a story building with Brown roof, with other houses around, my dad have several houses today , I can't even remember the last time he went to his home town, those Brown roofs you are seeing there are sign of progress, that are grand parents are wiser than yours, because they were able to put those structures in place.


So just shut the Bleep up, and stop all this your illogical reasoning

Mr.man tackle the fault and leave the aggrieved alone. this thread was going on well until one of ur own sued for blood.am Igbo and am proud of whatever positivity comes out from my tribe listen and qoute me am FUCKING PROUD, if anyone tries to talk down those positivity, will have to deal with me and the rest of my proud Igbo kinsmen.

seguno2:
If they are indeed educated, why have they not applied their acquired knowledge to identify, modernise, conserve and integrate the finer elements of their culture into their buildings and lifestyle today?
Of what value is your education if it doesn't benefit your society?

tell that to ur monarch in the south west as well, they make do with what on ground, no one make block of brick whose main composition is the red mud, the houses of old where made with red mud with rafia palms as roofing material, are u trying to tell me rafia palm can be mordernize and made to last as that of aluminum roofing sheet. the palace of some of those top European countries and in African as well evolved with time.

They don't have to complain before you know a lot of Igbo children want to open shop and sell product.. Another man product..

how is that ur business nah. how is that a bad thing biko, dangote started from somewhere all the big business men once had a SHOP and sold produces, just as the igwe of Onitsha went to school and he is where he is today, he patronized those shops during his school days up till today, just as ur are doing. close ur mouth if u don't have anything to say.

Jay1988:
Waste of money.. It is not a tourist attraction but a family property. The money used to build this should have bought story books for kids to learn and understand mates,science and arts

close ur mouth, yo speaking like a saint.knowing deep down u will do even worst if giving the chance. it a royal palace that the way it suppose to look a first class king for that matter. it not too little and not too much. if it were to be that of the European rain of praises will emanate from ur tongue.biko swerve

The palace of the OBI of Onitsha look magnificently beautiful, and very big as well, it my first time of seeing it.and that ofala regalia looks great, I mean for someone who has achieved so much to come out to delight the crowd, he is truly humble I never knew he has so much yet he dresses like the common man. he is a role model to himself and many, OBI of Onitsha, E ga di ooooo, ISEEEEE,

aresa:
This is a public forum and not ibo forum so can't you just leave me alone?

So what, that doesn't give u the right to disrespect this thread, if u want to show case the palace of the oni, must u be rude in doing so. later every will say the igbos are the ones looking for trouble.

where did u watch it. cos I understand most Igbo movies if not all on African magic, BT it better for them to use central Igbo which is easily understandable, I know we all want to promote our verious Igbo dialect BT with central Igbo we can easily adapt to other verious Igbo dialect. it a gradual process, African magic Yoruba and Hausa didn't start today.

undisputedgbola:
Applauds.
But next time, understand the word 'perspective'. I expect you to give me tangible reasons why Igbos troop to Lagos like it's America; and not stay back in 'east'. That's the logical reasoning behind my question.

and if u still can't decode the reason from my answer, then u just keep quiet and stay away from my mention, why do yorubas as well troop to abuja.

if yo not happy to be an Igbo person, biko u can go and hug the nearest transformer close to u

buhari is a failure weather the railway line passes through ekiti or sagbama, this evil has don more harm than good.

somebody should should start an hashtag impeach buhari on Twitter.

mark just reduced the bashing on APC with his visit the attention will be on him.

AZeD1:
Can someone please point out the mistake because I can't find it.

uhmm it up there compare the the second screen shot nah, she said previously it was 165b per month on work, BT now the save 6b, 165-6 = 159, which was watch she was suppose to have stated on the first screen shot BT she said 156 on the first screenshot.

dasparrow:
Forget tradition! who tradition don epp? That is why Nigeria is backward as hell due to primitive traditions that help no one. If this man played no active role in the upbringing of his son, then he has no right to determine where his son should be buried. It is that simple. After all, where was he when his son was lying sick in the hospital? The man was just a sperm donor and nothing more. If Stella had not provided for their son, maybe the boy wouldn't have lived to be 28 years old even. If the dead could speak, I am sure the boy will demand he be buried in Anambra instead of his absentee father's hometown.

the reason why nigeria is so backward is not because of tradition Mr man. china japan Denmark and the likes still maintain their tradition and they are doing well, they even make money out of it. so blame ur corrupt government and stay away from abusing the way of some people, assumption again what if the boy where to be staying with his father before he died, am sure ur argument will be against Stella, like I will always say leave assumption for u might be wrong and go with the fact on ground, the boy in question is an itshekiri man, and there was not it was written that he should be buried in anambra, if he is not happy with his father and never wanted anything to do with him in the first place, he should have dropped the surname and anything related to him.

eyinjuege:
When I first read the story that she didn't tell the boy's father of his death, I felt outraged.
But on deeper thought, she has just lost a grown child who was apparently well unexpectedly.
I'm sure she is still in shock, and probably might not even know what's happening around her. You can bet she's not in charge of the funeral, but probably the boy's younger ones/cousins and the youths around them.
However, even if she's excused because of the fresh tragedy and grief, those around her should have thought of the boy's father, and given him a call.
But, let's even assume the Oduahs were useless with no regard for anyone,
Again, if one hears such a news in the media, which initially sounded like a rumour, the initial thing the father should have done was to call Stella, or anybody in her family. I would have expected him to send his people, younger than him to go to Stella's people and find out the truth if he was truly dead, and what caused his death. They would have talked about the burial and the arrangements to be made from their side even if it means transporting the dead body back to his father by themselves. The father shouldn't have waited, and left them to probably send the corpse to him. His people should have done that.
If however they went and were turned back by Stella's people, that's another story entirely.

call who knows if he did, who knows if he had the current number of a serving senator, we all know how break up works. I mean a 28 year old from a poor or mid class is out hustling they hardly call pop and same could be said for pop toward the boy, 28 year old is not a child he must have been in the know of what happened BTW his dad and mom, one with a liberal mind would try to settle the issue on ground. like I said I don't base my judgment on assumption for there is a lot to be assumed, with the detail on ground, it quiet clear she didn't inform him probably she doesnt have his number anymore, even that it won't cos her anything to send someone down to the Mans village to inform them, am sure someone in his village can get the msg to him, BT that me assuming again. those saying bleep tradition, traditions are laid down rules/ laws which existed way before we were born, while some have consequences others don't. am still of the motion that they should follow tradition. they are not the first neither will they be the last.

What is in the east?

we are talking about another thing yo saying another thing, what was the reason for other tribe to be in south west, is it not Lagos and was Lagos the capital of Nigeria for more than 30 years or not. if not for the fact that there is less and less job opportunity in Lagos and the rent in Lagos is on the high side coupled with tax, no one would bother going to Ogun state BT due to the fact that Ogun state is the closes and u can come from Ogun to work in Lagos, that the reason for their population boom. just as every tribe is trooping to abuja what is in abuja aside from 100 percent government presences. so don't be sentimental when yo trying to make a speech.

deji15:
As a Yoruba man, in order to understand how important this news is , try and apply to any of the South East states civil service commission, get the offer of employment first before you dream of becoming a permanent secretary..

yorubas should flood the east like the Igbo are did to the west, and see if he/she won't be appointed,that if he is up to the task.

clown of a fellow, very very cunning man. this is another excuse to reduce the working days from 5 to 3 so u will cut their salaries. who told u that those from the south east are not farming, of all states in the south east, the worst state with a bleek agric sector is IMO state, nothing to show, here he is talking about food. biko he should close his mouth.

cococandy:
it is also traditon to care about and provide for your children.

assumption and assumption, we have seen It in movies and the likes, where there is restrictions and court orders and injunctions prohibiting a fellow to keep a certain distance from another fellow, we have heard of child custody battle, we don't even know how long they has been apart. how influencing Stella was during and after their marriage, politically. BT I don't give a damn who is at fault,am Igboman and as a man from that ethnicity, it sacrilege for me to be buried outside igboland. the boy in question is an itshekiri man if the itshekiri tradition permits their children to be buried outside, it is TRADITION.if not!. then the needful should be done. consult all parties before u act when it Comes to a big decision like this.
