Beautiful people. Nice one from the Itsekiri Kingdom.

Nice.

Very true. This recession can be effectively managed using this man's approach.

LastProphet:
you too my bro, thanks for meaningful talk

The pleasure is all mine.

Wow! Very commendable.
I just hope the govt. is not borrowing to fund this... Pls sustainability is important. I was quite surprised the other time when Obiano of Anambra increased salaries by as much as 15%, later I thought it was just Christmas bonus but surprisingly, it has been sustained since. These Eastern Govs. dey hot o.
Gov. David Umahi appears promising.
God bless Ebonyi and Nigeria.

God bless Us.

i think u totally correct, he appears to top all the fine qualities of Duke with his strong grassroots grip and shrewd business approach. he will make ibos proud. i will vote him any day because he has a new message

Yeah. Another thing is Donald Duke is just too quiet right now. He appears to me as one who has decided to just chill and enjoy his private life... Dimeji Bankole is another person I used to have a soft spot for. I am still looking for a core Northerner with the political qualities of Amino Kano (God bless his soul). We need these guys in the system to effectively slug it out with and displace the old, corrupt and lazy stock up there, they cut across every corner of this country - North, West, East and South, they just have to come out.


Happy Sunday bro.

Desmond has an Igbo mom and also not from Delta state. point of correction Delta state ain't Biafra count us out.

Hehehehe. Cool down, you no sabi anything. Desmond's mum is from Ilah, within Oshimili of Delta state. And as for Biafra, yes I agree most of Delta state is not with Biafra. I was only responding to that tribalist hence my equating Igbo with Biafra in his own words. And for your Info, the people of western Igboland(in Delta and even the Ika of Edo state) are largely sympathetic to the Biafran cause as recent events have shown... Unless of course you don't wanna tell yourself the Truth.




NB: I am a pure Deltan from Ughelli and Warri.

Rikidony:
Cuppy is such a lovely lady so pretty.

why Desmond dey wear Ipob attire abi him be biafran now

Desmond is an Igbo( Biafran if you like) from Delta state Maternally.

LastProphet:
if the south south had brought som1 like duke instead of GEJ there is no way buhari would have been president today

You think so? Lol. But you should know that not all Nigerians think the way you do. But we agree on one thing though. Donald Duke is a very refined man fit to be President and ha has his track records too. There are some others too and right now if I have to make a pick between him and Peter, I think I'll go with Peter because Peter is a more dogged(Check his legal battles, the way he was able to prevent the proposed destruction of the Onitsha drug market by the Yar'adua administration etc), his people call him 'Okwute' (stone), more exposed (arguably), has been able to manage quite a difficult state and performed quite well. He also has a comparatively strong natural support base among the Igbo Elite and masses alike. To cap it up, it'll adequately satisfy the issue of the "Igbo Presidency" among our eastern country men. If at all we should have an Igbo President, he must be tested and trusted.

Peter Obi for President.

This is Nice and commendable. The Judiciary still remains the last hope of the common man.

Everybody can't be there. But clearly, Tinubu is aggrieved. I don't know about Dogara though.

Honestly, I don't understand the kind of corruption that Buhari is fighting.

Peter Obi is a man I so much admire. He knows the value of money and how to put it into good use. I will like to see him as President one day. Refined and hardworking men like this man here, Donald Duke etc are the kinds of people that should be running this country.



God help us.

Una welldone o. Obaseki lead well.

Cool pictures.

Lord Jesus, gather your flock in Unity. Amen.

Nigeria needs our help. Very true.

Happy Independence Nigeria.

nice speech from Atiku. The man is cool though.

Though I'm from Delta state, as far as I'm concerned, the major ethnic groups in Rivers state are Igbo(Ikwerre, Ndoki, Egbema, Ogba etc.) Ijaw and Ogoni.





Period.

I know I'm late to the party but lemme stay here and watch.




#EdoDecides2016

Agghh. Very necessary. Many of those police men are not mentally stable.

OK. That's cool. Funding should be a major concern for sustainability.

udumosam23:
Who ever knows this party should advice them to start their campaign now. They don't need all this old political Godfathers. They only need people who have a history of positive results based on the office they occupied in past. Nigeria is wiser. In shot they should project Donald as president or vice and another good northerner to have their vote.

I'm already looking forward to become a member of that party. Enough of APC and PDP ish.

Yeah, I very much agree with you.

AnonyNymous:
Just strike off dimeji bankole from that list thanks

Hehehehe. OK sir, I get ur point. But I still think Dimeji Bankole is refined.

Congrats. You guys should provide effective opposition not just by words but by ensuring your office holders perform across all offices. That way, Nigerians will know you once more mean business.
the Governors of Delta and Baylesa especially need to wake up. Meanwhile, Edo state is there for the taking. Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu must win. Please ensure that.

We have dictionaries but they are not very comprehensive. A Bible is even better but many Urhobos who are expert speakers can't read Urhobo. That is even another problem entirely. 80% of Urhobos who are expert speakers can't process a written Urhobo sentence.


We really have a long way, I tell you. My prayer is that our youths should show a little interest and dedication so that we won't lose our heritage. If it misses our generation, we will never get it again. We will have only names as relics of our culture.

Yeah you're correct. One thing I've observed is that the highest concentration of expert Urhobo speakers who are also literate are in our Churches. (dem plenty die for Warri.). So we have to work with them. I for one am self-taught in Urhobo writing though I'm still learning. I've been interpreting Urhobo in my local church in Warri for about 5 years now since my teenage years. By the grace of God, I can also call myself an "expert speaker" of the language.
God dey.

fratermathy:
Some people are trying to fix the problem. If you goto YouTube, you can search for Urhobo Cartoons and learn Urhobo from the basics very well. After that, you can proceed to watch Urhobo films (with English subtitles). The films are on YouTube too and they are quite good. Then we should befriend ourselves and enforce Urhobo as the only means of communication except on official terms. Someone even mailed me that he wants to develop an application for PCs, Android, etc, to learn Urhobo. Our children should be made to learn Urhobo as well. If we do this, we can complement the efforts of Urhobo Historical Society and Urhobo Progress Union so that Urhobo will not go extinct.

Bros. You dey try o, in your promotion of the Urhobo language and culture generally.

Nice post op, I have been thinking about this issue for something now, we have to take the message to everyone around us. By the way anyone with an idea of urhobo name that start with letter " J". I need suggestions. I have a plan to create a association for URHOBO living in Ghana, if interested contact me on +233248209704 or orsoft2489@gmail.com

The Urhobo progress Union (UPU) have branches all over including Europe a day America. I believe there's a good population of Urhobos in Ghana. Just try to connect. God bless you as you do.
Urhobo wadoo .
