but they have mosquitos here o
they don't carry the malaria parasite but for a type of encephalitis and the West nile Virus

Some Muslims in Western Nigeria shout glory!,attend crusades,go to churches and to mosques
They quote Bible passages like no man's business and ask for prayers when in trouble
Yes there are Islamobaptists and Chrislams
Perhaps inquisitive minds
Maybe they are the ones trooping to Christ at the end of the day.
Let them keep hearing the word.
The word works
My good friend in the midwest (USA) was once like that,today she's a Christian and  married to one and her whole family  members including her dad are now Christians

[quote author=*Hauwa* link=topic=218647.msg3337046#msg3337046 date=1231903761]my dad loves Bonny M lol.

seems we ended up liking songs of our parents

osisi, i never really heard of everly until i watched that movie. then again someone posted it on NL and i clicked on youtube true it was a really nicely done song. one you can listen to during rainfall , dream of your man (my man ), infact really DREAM [/quote]I know the song.
They used to play it on the radio in the 80's
Anyone here in their 30's and above would  know that song
we even sang it in elementary school concerts

SHENANIGAN:
*Hauwa* must be very old school if she listens to the Everly Brothers

Anyone who has a mom who is in her late fifties to sixties heard that song on the turn table endlessly
chei,I remember those days with the large vinyl records.
Fleetwood mac and Bonny M
I miss my child hood o

follypimpi:
Well the DREAM means u OBAMA will soon divorce michelle and am gna marry her.God knws is one my fantansy to be Michelle's hubbie,LOL.Da american dream

I reject that interpretation.

SHENANIGAN:
MR Osisi must be a very understanding man. If I was married and my wife told me she had a dream like that, I'll be very mad at her. That could mean you were having wet dreams about Obama.

why will you be mad
people are not in control of their dreams
or you mean I should have kept it to myself?
but he knows I like Obama _{in an innocent sort of way}

Seriously, I don't think it's right for anyone to have a king. We can have laws guiding our morals but what are kings for? However, having an Igbo king in another man's land is totally disrespecting. I know, I know , they have it in Lagos but it's only a celebrity postition. Oba of Eko have spiritual roles he plays not political at all. Only corrupt kings play politics . I don't know about Igbos but in Yoruba land, kings are not selected or elected, they are chosen by the God of Prophecy and Divination(Ifa). So the Eze thing in Lagos is a celebrity role to promote more unity amongst the people and also make the Igbos feel at home and guided in Lagos which is working if you ask me.

It's just a title. However, if the king doesn't approve of it, it shouldn't happen. If the Oba of Lagos said no to Eze thing in Lagos, it won't happen. But Igbo people obey the traditional rules in Lagos especially in areas where the traditional ruleS applies which is few. If the Eze thing will mean Igbos won't obey the traditional laws of the place, then it will be a problem but that is not the case so let them be. ONE Nigeria!!

and what are these traditional rules in Lagos if I might ask?
A country that has no enforcable law and order and you're talking of traditional rules.
Igbos have no kings.
The title king was from the newspaper article perhaps.
If it's a celebrity position in Lagos,is it hoping to overthrow the Obong in Calabar?
sheesh!

Everyone that knows me knows I have some tiny little crush on Obama
I was one of his fiercest supporters on nairaland during the campaign but last night,
I dreamt of Obama
This is the truth y'all.

In that dream, Michelle was our nanny helping with the kids.
Obama and I lived happily in a house with very beautiful gardens
And the house was white
he flashed that colgate smile in the dream at some point and I smiled back.
This was one of the best dreams I ever had,it seemed so real
I was almost late for work because I couldn't wake up on time
Eventually I woke up and told my husband about my dream
and he asked if I had malaria.
Maybe it's the upcoming inauguration.
I wonder what this dream means?

that's exactly what it is, a go between and a local "leader" per se
(similar to Al sharpton in the USA, for blacks if you will)
The term king is used loosely.
Igbos didn't really have kings,they've always had a democracy and not a monarchy with the exception of Aro and one other place

udezue:
They must be that insecure. wow Calabar people dey surprise me. Damn shame

The Obong is only about 4 foot 11 inches going by the pic on the first page,maybe na short engine syndrome dey worry am
this thread don tey o
when I had my original name

tpia:
This Eze kingship thingy seems like a relatively recent thing, as far as I know. In some areas what they have, or used to have, is a community leader who also acts as an unofficial representative for his/her community, and sometimes these leaders are given titles by and from the host community, in recognition of their contributions and goodwill.

Thats the one I know.

However, things may have changed after the civil war, or else different areas have different laws about such matters.

My dear how old are you,this one you sabi pre war modalities of Ezeship?
The eze thing is really nothing.
You remember sometime ago when Igbo's were being kidnapped for ransom in some Yoruba town,some "yoruba King" in Enugu went on record and  spoke out and condemned the act happening in his home area .
These people are not paid,they are not there to cause trouble.
they are mere spokesmen for their people.
Just like every Igbo town in the USA have associations,they are not looking to overthrow the US govt.
I doubt if the Alafin of Oyo  or Ooni of Ife is concerned by the "igbo kings" without  palaces in their neighborhoods.
If those recognised titled men don't even wield much powers as they did perhaps in pre colonial times,what could some puny Igbo kings do?
The obong should chill
What powers does he even have?

insight04:
The last Igbo clown who tried that Ezi Ndi Igbo stuff in Cross River was kicked out of Ikom and his bread factory was burned down. He was given a proverb,that "you don't sit down on top of a kola-nut tree to eat kola-nut".(you simply look for a quiet place to eat it, twit).


Can't they sit down like normal visitors and do their spare-tyre business jeje without trying to usurp territorial powers ?

So it amuses you that a man had his means of livelihood probably employing a few Ekaettes and Okons burnt to ashes?
How silly.
Eze ndi Igbo means king of the Igbos.
Hausa have their kings within their communities in Aba,Owerri,Enugu and Umuahia
Yorubas have theirs in Igboland
There are so called Igbo kings amongst the Igbo communities in Yorubaland.
Why then are Calabar fearful of Igbos having someone they designate as some form of leader and spokesman in Calabar
Are you folks that insecure?
By the way spare parts business is a million times better than doing boi boi and house girls all over the nation.

So because he requested for three pairs eaven should fall?

My sister na real wa!
Ordinary glasses
what a bunch of loser parishioners
I bet they'll be throwing in pennies and mexican coins in the offering plate.
Most people that wear glasses have 2 or 3 pairs in case of emergencies
I thought the guy was asking for a hummer or an outrageous pay raise
What is an African doing in rural kentucky anyway?

But it is quite unfortunate that Hausa Fulani (Muslims) were killed much more than anyone, therefore in this case, it is a matter of what contributed to more death, I bet even in Kano, when there is fighting, Police sometimes shoot, but not upto that number (90) this indicates there is an order for that before they started the act, and since non-Muslims were killing much more than the Muslims it means non-Muslims were carrying arms/weapons more advanced than the Muslims, most probably they were carrying guns.

It is therefore necessary to investigate the killings throughly and see who are those behind those acts, the reasons while this things keeps happening is that the so-called indigenes are always favoured when it comes to matters of Judgment, I bet, all the Indigenes of Jos caught in the crisis will be released without charge, but the non-indigenes will be charged and most probably be sent to Prison, the result is this Indigenes will still raise more violence in the state.

The truth maybe difficult to be accepted, but Hausa-Fulani of Jos are very peaceful loving people, and I bet, the Indigenes of Jos are worried about Hausa-Fulani people being participating in the politics of Jos. The end thing is "Why will the party nominate a Hausa-Fulani as candidate since they knew he was not an Indigene? Why?

and people still wonder why these namas are a part of Nigeria?
See the way they reason
like the herd of cattle they rear.
Let the remaining almajiris who escaped become pen pals with the remaining hamas operatives.
Efulefus.
Kudos to the Nigeran police here.
They should have done a whole lot more
Your post should have read like so

But it is very fortunate that Hausa Fulani (Muslims) were killed much more than anyone, therefore in this case, it is a matter of what contributed to just 90 almajiri deaths, I bet even in Kano, when there is fighting, Police sometimes shoot, but not upto that number (90) this indicates the police are finally waking up and since Muslims were killing much more than the the non-Muslims it means Muslims were carrying arms/weapons, most probably they were carrying guns.

It is therefore necessary to congratulate the police the killings especially those who are behind those valiant acts, the reasons while this things keeps happening is because Nigerians have accepted these killings by almajiri Muslims.I bet,the non-indigene Muslims will will still raise more violence in the state.

The truth is well known by all and sundry that Hausa-Fulani of Jos and beyond are very violent people, and I bet, the Indigenes of Jos are worried about Hausa-Fulani making Jos a killing ground. The end thing is yet to come.

Auwal
The Senegal release itself is err. It was C.A.N that infiltrated the Nigerian police and killed innocents in Jos. And it has been long when they started engineering this kind of debacle. Let me figure out their (CAN) weapon stations in Jos. In u knw Jos watch following churches they are the depository centres of CAN ammunitions
1.Anglican church Amigo junction by new market.
2. catholic ecwa Church at Nassarawa Junction if ur going to Dogon Dutse
3. Our ladie saint Fatima Ali kazaure by Monido street
4. Saint Morumba zaria Road
    Jona Jang the excutive Govt of plateau state is highly involved in the recent riot thats why the panic.
For those that don't knw, the indigeneos mendicants of plateau state are not the brain behind the myhem in Jos city. As time goes on C.A.N will have no place to hide their evil agenders.

Are you using "idea" to reveal your next targets.
Only 90 jihadists killed out of 400 lost lives and you're crying.
Those 310 innocent souls what did they do wrong?
wrap up your dead with mats and feed their sorry souls to the birds of the air
They killed themselves.
Good riddance to useless soldiers of a a violent religion.
It's about time southerners in northen Nigerian had firearms in their homes.
That is the only language those hooligans understand

SHENANIGAN:
Hauwa before you crucify, it was just an assumption . Even at 27 her clock is ticking fast so please stop telling her to stop seeing any of those dudes.

she's unsure about both of them,what else is she to do
go along like the divorced lover did?
My dear marriage is to be enjoyed not managed

SHENANIGAN:
Why are you telling her to leave them, are you going to marry her. Maybe this lady is almost 40, do you know how hard it is for a woman that age to find a husband.

Chineke God!
so she should marry anyone with a blokoss assuming age is not on her side
doesn't she have a choice again?
please not every man is marriage material

[quote author=amebo no.1 link=topic=218133.msg3332958#msg3332958 date=1231814218]osisi there is no proof that she does not love this guy,she might be infatuated wt d other,he might be her hubby,same wt d divorcee,so I'm being neutral here,since they r about tying d knot or like the family wants it,she needs to get a lot of info bout him if they will be tying d knot

why do d igbos go about finding out things from a guy or girls place when they want to marry,they do all this to know d family they r getting into[/quote]You asked her to set up a decoy to see if the guy would bite,that's what I was responding to.

[quote author=*Hauwa* link=topic=218133.msg3332954#msg3332954 date=1231814120]if i were you, i'd work on my first relationship that is at least he is single and we are already planning to marry.

a divorcee with 2 kids?? baggages ha!!! not a very easy road to tread for a young person. think well maybe just forget about both of them and focus on whatever you have at hand eg career.

i personally think divorcee with kid or kids should go with another divorcee with kid or kids. [/quote]My dear,I agree wholeheartedly.
It's tough enough watching ones own kids than deal with someone else's that'll remind you ,you're not that mother.
Unless the kids are in their moms custody and only visit  then I may deal with it
I don't want to die young

[quote author=amebo no.1 link=topic=218133.msg3332938#msg3332938 date=1231813604]u r smart,very smart i must say,love that statement

try and find out why he left his wife from another source,test ur present lover well,he might have some girl hes keeping smwhere,test him wt some girl,do it and see if he will fall,if he does,make sure u have a proof to show to ur family

as for d divorcee find out well why he separted from his wife after 2 kids,for him to have divorced his wife wt "kids" then there is sthg wrong smwhere,he is lying



where is that monicaaa sef,let her come and see people that love wt their brains and not like mumus[/quote]all that wahala for an ordinary boyfriend?
waste of valuable energy
If she doesn't trust him ,even if it's a gut feeling,that's enough for her to move on.
There are plenty of fish in the ocean

cheerio:
suddenly my boyfriend started loving me back with zeal but my heart was was sliping away exponentially for the new guy.
i don't THINK i love my boyfriend again but we look like the perfect match considering all aspects. i have made attempt to work at it , but no results, infact i can't even stand his kisses but all ma folks and his are on us to tie the knots.
.

Typical story from a girl who's fallen out of love with one and in love with another.
It's not unusual to even look at the face of the other guy and see wrinkles everywhere.
Even his once kissable lips would look all chapped and alligator skin-like
Leave that single guy alone and don't drag him into your confusion of the moment.
That is a start

You obviously don't love the single guy anymore,let him go and don't string him along and keep him as a back up.
That's not fair.
Your divorcee lover is telling you a lie about why he got divorced.
I don't believe that story,I wonder why you do.
He has a lot of baggage but if that's your thing give it a try (not my advice) you may find out you weren't meant for each other and hang around a few years because you now have your own kids together and call it a day.

a man should not carry a purse abeg
what for?
to keep his make up and cologne or what?
It's not manly abeg
God forbid bad things
anything that can't fit in his pocket when we're going out is not needed.
This should not be encouraged o
