dude...camman!!.....i dont do hairy asses!!

hairy ass, hmm. It is'nt that bad...

Inconclusive National Electoral Commission, INEC.

The project will be completed. The senate is just dissatisfied with the contractor handling it hence ordering him to leave site.

Sijo01:
Smh. This is pathetic. Farmers harvest bunch of tomatoes every now and then but half of it are wasted because of lack of storage facilities.

More than half sef.

IzonOwei:
bayelsa

Ok.

IzonOwei:
thats the ish... This whole saga could welcome our region into untold opportunities not having to worry about the burden of other slow regions or leeches...

Exactly! I'm from Delta state, what state are you from?

IzonOwei:
wait until we start the fight for resource control... You think the PDP taking control is for joke °°°°..... There is a grander plan...

Korrect guy. It's even more than resource control. We want True fiscal federalism and once that is achieved we'll focus more on our states and localities, the FG then becomes less attractive and we'll experience true growth and development.

What's this one saying betwn!
It's widely known Urhobo or whatever the sh!t borrowed many of their language from the Binis. That you got the word 'omo' from the Binis doesn't mean it didn't originate somewhere and I'm simply stating that the word is basically a Yoruba word.

'Borrowed from Binis', hahahaha. It seems u're so obsessed with borrowing but your level of Knowledge is very shallow. You yorubas make too much baseless claims. Yes, Edos and Urhobos/Isokos + western Igbos are historically related but 'Ofua' is the Bini word for child for you info. Do you know that 'Oba' is not the Edo word for King as many of you yorubas erroneously think just as Emir in not the Hausa word for King? Let me stop here, lol.

Back to the topic. Enough is not been done in preserving these treasures... A miniature city for example should be established to keep the memories if the glorious past ever fresh and also bring home some good money from tourists. Unfortunately, those in govt.(federal and state) do not think of tangible things they can do to better the society.

Kagawa10:
Borrowing the word 'omo' isn't the bone of contention here but the origin of the word 'omo'
No one cares if dinosaurs also borrow the word to be part of their language but the origin is what matters. As far as I'm concerned, no tribe uses the word 'Omo' as part of their names the way Yoruba uses theirs.
As a matter of fact, only Yoruba has used the word 'Omo' which dated back as far as millenium years ago. One of my sec. school friend's surname is Omosheibi. Can you imagine someone's great great grandfather to have been bearing the said name? And this is what you bini want to claim?
Try another!

It's very clear you have a very poor knowledge of linguistics and don't know beyond your closet(Yoruba). I'm an Urhobo and 'Omo' is the Urhobo word for child. Claiming we(the Edo-speaking) people borrowed this word among others from yoruba is very shallow. Your argument would have sense if you talked about the possibility of similarity in words being a result of a common ancient language or relations between various ethnic groups. Linguistically, there are some similarities of words used in Igbo and Yoruba languages, so do i now say yorubas borrowed those words from igbos or vice-versa?

Politics should not be a do or die affair for God's sake.

truly:
I will go there and mock
They are right
Let him go to the US or UK
Can you imagine - US and UK said no more aid until we allow those animals

Will they help us when every adult male is wearing diaper
Or HIV prevalence figure shoots up

Nip evil in the bud
Slay gays who refuse to emigrate
Bloody h-o-m-o-s-i-c-k

How many adult males in the US or UK wear diapers? If you hate something, it does'nt mean you condemn people who like it because one man's poison is another's jollof rice. The UK and US u're talking about even came late among Nations who tolerate gay people... Research about it. Lemme give u a small tip; do you know the Islamic Caliphate of the Ottoman Empire(Today's Turkey) legalized same-sex activity as far back as 1858, a long time before the US and many European countries? Where/are they fools? Try to enlighten yourself PLEASE.

Elijahrona2:
Amen. As In just imagine the nonsense?

As in ehn, those guys are wicked, mehn. Some people are even mocking the poor guy on his facebook timeline with pictures of his battered body and coffin in which he was placed after he died. This is too babaric to be ignored.

Kondomatic:
Heaven for don break loose if nah a male blogger organized something like this for just male.

Lol. No be small tin o. Dem for don give am d 'g' tag.

Elijahrona2:
Even the children are worried. These herdsmen have made enough orphans in just 1 year. Please Nigeria we are one. Let's act like one

Who told you we are one in this country? We're not one o bros, no let dem deceive you.

Olorogun Felix Ibru great Urhobo leader. Though shortlived, the people of Delta state appreciate your tenure as Governor. Adieu Ose!

Elijahrona2:
Abi? Abeg join me in begging them to release obiano for us. @least let's manage one until we find other

Lol. You won borrow Governor abi? Lagbaja, notin 4 you.

Elijahrona2:
We do dress anyhow we want in any occasion. BUT when our parents die, we ALWAYS wear jumper and wrapper

Lol. See how u're sounding. It should'nt even be until ones parents die... Lmao. You see, Bovi and his siblings clearly don't appreciate the importance of what we're talking about here because they're not used to it, probably weren't raised to place value in it. So it should be something we're always conscious of, showing ur native swag once in a while from time to time will not bite.

Elijahrona2:
Forget choice. He don sell his heritage to blood money

[quote author=Elijahrona2 post=43704924]Blood money? Ah ah, that's too extreme an accusation. Like i said earlier, this is just a case of omission, nothing more.

Elijahrona2:
Am angry @bovi.
Ever since he became a celebrity I've never seen him wear our ceremonial dress before. Even @his own mother's burial he doesn't want to wear his jumper and wrapper. If it's time to wear adagba and caftan he can but he forsakes his own heritage.

He should never call himself isoko again. Ever

I jst taya for d guy. He's supposed to dress in the traditional wrapper attire for his mother's burial at least. But one thing I've observed is Isoko and Ijaw people don't dress in wrappers as much as Urhobos and Itsekiris do; the 'up and down' lace attire is very common to them. RIP mama.

Elijahrona2:
It's cool. I support senator Ben Bruce's #buynaijatogrowthenaira

Also I kinda like saraki. He's a cool guy

Saraki cool guy? Hehehehe... That guy is dangerous, i don't trust him. 66 lawyers, u no hear am?

thecommunist:
these are not herdsmen, they are cattle rustlers...rustlers are sworn enemies of the herdsmen.

God bless you broda. The govt. is fighting for the herdsmen but not the farmers and villagers who are the real people in need of help. Is'nt it crystal clear that the FG and Army has deliberately abandoned the innocent people of the NC(Benue and elsewhere) to their fate? This is very saddening.

ramdris:
Excellent news! This is the first tym am seeing our gallant men taking on these herdsmen who are far more dangerous than BH.. I wish they can sustain this so that the pple in North central can have peace...

Unfortunately u're wrong. These people the Army is cracking down on are not herdsmen but cattle rustlers- people who engage in robbery mainly of cattle and if you check, u'll see it's based in the North-west(Zamfara, Kaduna and Kano mentioned) and not North-central.
**Bottomline**
The Fulani herdsmen in the NC are still at liberty, as free as the wind to visit death upon the communities. Buhari, God dey. SMH.

Elijahrona2:
Gosh. Add na

Done!

Elijahrona2:
You must tell me who you are please WhatsApp 08189985195

Hehehehe. Nothing to be worried about bro. Unfortunately, I'm totally off WhatsApp for now, only active on Facebook. The number is noted anyway.

Elijahrona2:
Yh that's me. Am cool. Who are you?

A brother who just wants to acknowledge his kin in a public forum. Good morning.

Elijahrona2:
They don't care.

Rona(or Rhona) u're either Urhobo or Isoko... And you live in Warri. How are you?

Ah! Finally.

darlingtonNYIG:
yea, surely will encourage him to do so but can't force him on that. Will bow out if he decides to do otherwise.

Korrect guy. From your response, i suppose u're a good person and concerned citizen. Kudos sir.









But bros i have a question troubling me though ur boss should not be directly responsible here: why is the NASS following the footsteps of the FG in ignoring the Fulani rampage but were quick(infact almost immediately) to react to the FG's unbundling of the NNPC? I'm sorry if I'm going too far but i just can't pretend about this and i fell u're closer than i am to the powers that be.

sanandreas:
Oniovo mavo

Hehehehe. Oshare na, me ero o. Oghene kobiruo.

darlingtonNYIG:
Mr Barcanista, pls kindly reach me on this contact 08038967839 or my mail mcjezramedia@gmail.com, would like to communicate with you. Currently working as a media aide to Hon Emeka Anohu of Ihiala federal constituency. Thanks

Though i don't know you and your boss but abeg encourage him to represent his people well.

Sunky200:
those criminals in that chambers will definitely form active but our eyes don open.

NNPC must be overhauled.

well, i hope they won't act against public interst or they'll further loose the respect and confidence Nigerians has in them

In as much as i fully support the overhaul of the NNPC(infact Nigerian as a whole needs overhauling), Buhari did'nt follow the right procedure which is amendment of the act establishing the NNPC first. Do you really think the Senators are working against public(Nigerians) interest? Are the protesting workers not Nigerians too?

TonyeBarcanista:
Yes o. I enjoyed my stay in Abia. Very very peaceful and sane unlike my Rivers. I even bought made in Abia shirt and boxer(dem make sense die)

Oga Barca I've been following you for sometime and i think i like u politically. But sir, though I'm a Deltan and PDP apologetic i don't appreciate your stance on Igbo people especially concerning IPOB. Calling them 'land grabbers' as if dem take your family compound. I still also see you as a dangerously inconsistent person and i don't trust people like that. Well, i think d talk e haff do for now... Congrats on your fun visit to Abia. Congrats also to the freshest senator of the Republic, Mao Ohuabunwa and the people of Abia North.
