PoliticsRe: Freeze Pantami’s Accounts - Rinu Oduala Urges CBN by OpinionCounts(m): 12:38pm On Apr 22, 2021
Emefiele is an errand boy of the Northern cabals presently controlling the country, a group pantami himself is a well respected and cherished member of.

Emefiele will never dare freeze pantami's account, except he wants to die in a plane crash like Yakowa and Azazi.

you are confused. Chibuike Amaechi is igbo in rivers. He said it severally on every fora he has the opportunity to speak. here's a link to YouTube where he spoke fluent igbo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdaR-EEIng0&t=134s
I guess he is also Yoruba since he bears Rotimi, and maybe Joe igbokwe is also Yoruba because he speaks Yoruba fluently, or you are British because you bear an English name...think before you talk, so that you don't end up calling others confused when you are the one wallowing in confusion.

Many Ikwerres like me can speak Igbo(Isoma) because most of our matrilineal lineage were of the Igbo stock. Most of our grandparents married Igbos, but we are not Igbos!
Ok, thanks for this enlightenment.

SmartPolician:
Ikwerre is big . Many of them speak and understand Igbo. They even have strong igbo accent.

Most non-Igbo speaking tribes of the Niger Delta see Ikwerres as Igbos. Most Ijaws in Rivers and Bayelsa believe that the Ikwerres are only deceiving themselves by saying they are not Igbos.
I am not talking of strangers living in ikwerre land speaking ibo....I am talking about the pure ikwerre man and his language itself, it is not ibo and will not even be understood by any ibo person, the reverse is also the case, unlike the other ethnic groups I mentioned that speak total ibo language.
Ikwerre used to be said to be ibo before because then they were one big LGA together with the ibo speaking ethnic group Etche and Omuma, it was known as Ikwerre/Etche LGA, but after Etche and Omuma was separated, we now had ikwerre LGA, Etche LGA, and Omuma LGA, this took away the ibo speaking groups from ikwerre. What we have now as the present day ikwerre does not speak and can only barely understand ibo.

But I'm open to learning from you, if you can mention the ikwerre that speak ibo. Not strangers residing in ikwerre.

Ikwerres are not ibos, they don't even speak ibo and most don't even understand ibo, when you want to talk about ibos in Rivers State you talk about the Opobos, Omuma, Etche, Bonny, ndoki and co, these ones speak and understand ibo, they have ibo lineage.
PoliticsRe: Boko Haram Insurgents Attack Army Base In Yobe, Kill Three Soldiers by OpinionCounts(m):
Megatrix:
And some people are making noise about the military starting another war in the south east with ESN, does the Nigerian army as it is have the capacity to fight two guerrilla wars on two different fronts?
If this bokoharam group were to be Easterners, believe me they won't last more than a month, you would have seen the true dare devil military might of the Nigerian army unleashed in it's fullest and deadliest form on them, both from the airforce bombers, ground troops, rocket missile launches etc. Don't be deceived by this chess game northern elites and political leaders are playing with human life for selfish financial, religious and political dominance.

Never mistake the way this government treats northern issues to be same way they will treat Eastern issues.

This government would not mind sending the entire military apparatus in Nigeria to the East to commit genocide if bokoharam were to be an Eastern group.

It will shock you how our military will multiply in number, sophisticated weaponry and brutal might when they decide to engage ESN in the east even while still fighting bokoharam in the North.

It is all a grand game plan.

Did the president tell you he didn't know Pantami Befor appointing him?
Did the Dss, Sss, Nia and other intelligence unit tell u they didn't know him ?
Mr. pantami was appointed based on who he is. He has a specific assignment to accomplish.
Do not be suprised to see many pantamis in the security department and other sensitive places.
You are the only person with comprehrnsive understanding of the issue on ground....I laugh when I hear people say how come the president, DSS , SSS and co did not know this, I even hear people say the president must sack him now, they don't know the only reason the guy was appointed was exactly because Buhari, DSS , SSS and co knew him and all these his extremist stands and support, and he was appointed based on that. Nigerians don't know the number of pantamis we have in different sectors, sensitive positions, positions in security and military power, finance, boarder, customs, immigration etc, even people with worse extreme views than pantami. You wonder why terrorists, bokoharam, bandits, herdsmen etc are having a cruise in this country with no arrest or prosecution of even one of them.

Nairaland GeneralRe: 8 Statements That Sound Like Compliments But Are Actually Insults by OpinionCounts(m): 3:17pm On Apr 15, 2021
I don't think number 1 is an insult in any way. The comparative "very", removed any insult that would have been there.

If the compliment was that "you look beautiful today" without adding the comparative "very", then you could think it an insult.

Remember, one has to be beautiful before he or she can then compete to be very beautiful (which comes from comparation with standard beauty)

It simply means the person is already beautiful other days, but exceptionally or uniquely looking stunning today.

If I should go by your narrative, it means if I say to you, "your performance today was superb", it should mean that I am saying your performance other days was stupid or nonsense. But that is not true of the complement.

Oh Nigeria What kind of leaders do we have for goodness sake.
We have elected Professors, we have elected Thugs, we have elected those with secondary school certificate and those without.
Those who schooled overseas and those educated here.
We have elected Alhajis and so called Evangelists.
Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Itsekiri,Ogoni, Tiv, Nupe, Fulani...no difference...all na same.
In all that we have elected we are yet to elect men of proven CHARACTER, that is what is missing, try electing one and see the difference.

Religious titles or positions does not make a good man, tribe or ethnic origin does not make a good man, academic qualifications does not make a good man, proven CHARACTER is the only thing that can guarantee a good man and a good Leader.

Unfortunately in Nigeria, men of proven character hardly wins any election because they do not have money to throw around recklessly and may not belong to the cabal of the veteran looters...we will rather vote crooks with deep pockets and ability to manipulate the people and the system.

The end.

Well done Sir. My style is to encourage them to get outside of NairaLand to do research.
Sir, information and education can be gotten from anywhere including on nairaland, except you think nairaland is a good for nothing site.

No one is saying you should open a university on nairaland, they were only asking to know why you disagreed with the op. You could simply give a brief explanation to give some heads-up knowledge just like the person you commended (SmokedWhiskey) did in his post and then refer people to wherever links to go do verification of your explanation and more research, that is how learning and education works.

Imagine meeting someone in your social circle to ask for a clarification on a subject issue you know he is very knowledgeable in, and the only reply he gave you was "go and do research" , be honest to yourself, how will you feel? When he could have just given you a little heads-up information.

Things don't work that way.
Like I said earlier, information and education can be transferred or gained from anywhere including NAIRALAND.

Thanks.

But I think they should have left those things in their original resting places. sad

They just tampered with history by moving them to new locations.

Now having said that... splendid parade this was.

*** Do not forget something. This is for tourism. You might be thinking why they have spent so much. But you just have to spend money to make even more money.

Watch how tourists flock to the new museum the moment life returns to normal after the global pandemic.

Talk about thinking long term.
They were already not in their original resting places. They were in a museum where they took them to after exhuming them out of their original resting places which was under different pyramid tombs.

PhonesRe: Why You Should Avoid Keeping Your Mobile Phone Near You While Sleeping At Night by OpinionCounts(m): 11:20pm On Mar 30, 2021
mu2sa2:
I don't think one should go to bed every day expecting emergencies to arise. I would prefer to have a sound night rest than be awoken now and then unnecessarily by phone notifications.
That's why it is called an emergency. You didn't expect it to arise, you didn't plan for it, you didn't know it will happen, but unfortunately it does happen, so since you don't have control or know how or when it will happen, the best you can do is to put some measures in place in case it happens.
Having a phone at least close-by, though not on you while sleeping has helped save a lot of lives during emergencies.
However, it does not have to be on you or too close to you. It should be at a reasonably safe distance away from you but close enough so you can hear it ring.
