its a very sensitive post and the president has the absolute power to choose whom he sees fit regardless of religion or ethnicity. U can only give those kinda sensitive post to a very loyal person u trust so I c no fault in what he did. Let's just hope n pray that this change brings the much anticipated peace in the north east and Nigeria at large. We want peace regardless of tribe n religion. May God bless us with peace.

Would this have been your comment if you were from the region been marginalized?

Nice... E dun red for IPOB and Boko Haram terrorists!

Only if you guys know who Major General Ibrahim Attahiru is... According to a source in the US secret service, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru played a vital role in the demise of Osama Bin Laden... He was subsequently wooed by the US, but he turned down the offer, insisting he's committed to the Federal Republic of Nigeria..

A Mighty Man of Valor - this man, Major General Ibrahim Attahiru...

God bless you boss!
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Rubbish
Same motherfu..... er that could not capture shekau in his own country is who you want us to believe has a hand in apprehending osama bin laden.
This one’s tenure am sure will be worst than his dumb predecessor....
Buhari is such a shameless failure

einsteine:
Igbos would continue to suffer for their attache by force. For years, they have claimed the people of Rivers and Delta North as Igbos but forget that when it comes to appointments, since they are not trusted, their "slot" would be given to these people who are not Igbos. Keep claiming Ikwerre, Ika, Ndokwa people and that is what would keep happening. For example, the CBN governor (from the same place as the CDS) is considerede to be using an Igbo slot.

The CDS full name is lucky eluonye onyenuche irabor, by the way.

Are u sure there’s brain in that your head, or are you 12yrs old?)

Leo Irabor is not Igbo, but he is a Biafran

Ode like you
Igbos are fighting soldiers while afonjas are flexing muscles with Fulani civilians n still struggling...
They can’t even send soldiers to you cos they know you are nothing to reckon with....

israelmao:
Some people never know that Yoruba are not timid people they usually think they are,it's only their discretion and deep thoughts that some mistake for timidity,when Yoruba are pushed to the wall they know how to act decisively and gallantly.When Yoruba sneeze everyone catches cold.

Lol
Comedy of the year

Grayoso:
Sign of the 2023 Presidency to come. Igbos can keep wasting their time. What the North wants is attachment to the centre always.

They will always fear those who can destroy that attachment to the centre or even truncate the centre entirely with the separation of Nigeria. They know it is only the Yorubas capable of that in Nigeria.

The North has no option but to grant concession to the Yorubas. They may not want to do it but they have to do it.

Aside the Yorubas, Northerners don't generally have regards for other Nigerians least of all Igbos they see as disunited, treacherous and greedy folks who can always be 'induced' to sell out themselves.

We are seeing this with Umahi and others who want to join APC last minute because some Northern upstarts who were nobody at the inception of APC, and will soon be cut to size, are fooling them to think they have a chance hijacking top positions of the Party in 2023.

Lol. Always amusing to watch Igbos thrashing around impotently like a worthless sack of potatoes before it is tossed in the garbage.

What’s this one saying? Who does not know the Yorubas to be cowards, or have you forgotten the infamous quote of ibb.
Oga the only tribe the fulanis n indeed all tribes in Nigeria fear are the igbos .After slaughtering you ppl in your hundreds they now announced to you that they wil no longer engage in night grazing n you all are here jubilating n masturbating up n down

Grayoso:
Lol. Nonentities Igbos, can you see how it is done? Yorubas sneeze Nigeria catches a cold.

Igbos chestbeat emptily and Pythons immediately visits the SE to twerk and bite. Meanwhile Kanu picks race to abandon his Dog and parents. Lol.

Yorubas no be una mate in Nigeria. First repair your tenth class status before coming online daily to try and shade Yorubas.

See them moaning up n down on top matter wey them no gain anything from. Is this what you wanted? Abolishment of night grazing? Thought you guys were chestbeating that you will chase all Fulani herdsmen out of your land.
The story is still very much the same, the Fulani knows exactly how to handle the afonjas wella,it’s simple.... give them a pot of yam porridge n harvest all their yams.

BigDawsNet:
Absolutely bro

Thank you for the correction

You entirely welcome

samsard:
According to the professor that you're. There are people who are self taught, but that's not the topic at hand. You can speak good English without being educated.
I don't know which school you went to that issues certificate to uneducated people.
If you said that people can go to university and still not be exposed, then you'd probably be making actual sense

You have the wrong notion of what education is
There is a difference between been schooled n been educated.
For your info not all graduates are educated n some non graduates are educated. My point is the fact you were awarded a certificate is no guarantee you are educated. Education is far bigger than school certification

samsard:
Anyone from an upper middle class home in Nigeria with exposure or who spends time abroad can speak good English without a university degree.
They don't exactly teach British accent in school.
People seem to forgot that English is just like every other language and there are uneducated or semi educated people who speak it very well.

There u go again, so you think what makes one educated is university degree?For ur info, You can go to the university n still not be educated

Koulture:


Abeg cownu should just STFU.
The name igboho shouldn't be in same sentence with kanu.

One is a coward who abandoned his people and fled to uk,the other is a gallant warrior ready to defend his people.

Once again kanu pls STFU.

Let’s see how the igboho story will end
Your stupid comment has been bookmarked

BigDawsNet:
Quick poll guys

MOSES and ELIJAH

Who is the most powerful

Like for Moses

Share for Elijah



Happy Sunday guys...

Your question is inappropriate , cos God was their source of power none was powerful .so the appropriate question should be who performed more miracles n wonders. For me its Moses

bizme:
Who cares about your Igbo culture. Please don't commit suicide here because someone of your own extraction raised up a mirror to your face in the public. No, you didn't tackle me, you merely tried to bite me like a rabid dog. This is my last reaction to your uncouth mentions. Good luck with your reformation.

I just hope Uve learnt something
Ignorance is a disease bro

...Not All Parts Of Imo State Is Expensive To Marry From

But Imo still remains the most expensive place to marry. It is also the HQ of promiscuities in Nigeria

E b like say head dey pain you Oga
Yoruba land is by far the head quarters of promiscuity
After Yoruba na benue/ kogi

bizme:
Too bad you weren't brought up properly, perhaps it was you who was incapable of attaining the smallest degree of civility. In any case I sympathize with your condition.



Let see if you're capable of further discussion without losing control again: In one breath you claimed 'the marriage rites being practiced by Igbos' (according to you) as being rooted in the Bible just like the Jews. In the next breath you admitted that efforts were being made 'to refurbish' (i.e. reform) the same practice so it could be 'more affordable and human' (your own words). You simply confirmed other people's perception by agreeing that the marriage rites are unnecessarily expensive (why make it more affordable if they are not) and inhumane. You only reform what has become deformed: why reform something you claimed to be rooted in the Bible?

You see why I said you lack reasoning capacity?so your idea or knowledge of what reformation is , is to destroy or eradicate like you suggested to the Igbos?.
So if your house has a leakage , you just go get a tractor n pull the whole building down?
Oga I tackled you cos you condemned the Igbo rite of levying a suitor .This is what is biblical, however some cultures in Igbo land have taken this custom to the extreme making outrageous demands on their potential suitors. This again is what I criticized.
My point to you is simple...there’s nothing wrong with the Igbo culture of marriage rites( levying a suitor) but when it is been abused by some ppl then it should be REFORMED n not ERADICATED like you opined.

Enough Is Enough: Not All Parts Of Imo State Is Expensive To Marry From

I have read several misconceptions on social media over the years that all parts of IMO State is expensive to Marry from. Even recently, a lady who is supposedly from IMO State made a viral video of how men from IMO don't marry "them" (ladies from IMO State).

I write this article to clear the air about this generalisation about marriage in IMO State. I am a married man from Imo State and well travelled individual and take it from me when I tell you that NOT ALL parts of IMO State is expensive to marry from. Stop the ignorance and stop peddling lies.

Also, I noticed that most people mistake Bride Price to be the only money paid in traditional marriages, as you can hear one say, "IMO bride price na 1 Million Naira", etc.

Bride price in an Igbo Traditional marriage is the agreed sum (by law, it is N50 but families can state the amount they want) paid by the groom or his family member to the family of the bride. This has both physical and spiritual implications as the authority over the bride is passed to the groom and his family via that sum and other rites performed during traditional marriages. Even if you, in a traditional marriage, kill 100 cows, give your inlaws both gold and diamonds but haven't paid the bride price of a woman, YOU ARE NOT married. Most times, a family may charge, for example, N10,000 but will return a sum from it to the groom, while saying that they are not selling their daughter and other pieces of advice.

Apart from bride price, other items like goat, yams, snuff, kola, garden egg and so on are written on a MARRIAGE LIST usually given to the prospective groom, upon acceptance of marriage proposal and Introduction of both families of the groom and bride.

It is true that some parts are expensive to marry from but this article will focus on the largely unmentioned areas that you can marry from without spending an arm and leg.

I must state here that whatever items any part of the Imo State or any other place in Nigeria require as traditional marriage rites to give out their daughters' hand in marriage is their prerogative.

Below are some of the areas in IMO State where you won't spend an arm and leg to get married (traditionally):

1. Orlu (Ihioma, Umuna etc)

2. Oru West and Oru East (Amagu, Mgbidi, Akata, Ubulu (formerly called, Ubulu Ihejiofor), Nempi etc)

3. Orlu LGA (Awo Idemili, Amannachi, Amaebu, Umuhu Okabia (Cubana Chief priest's village), etc
4. Isu/Njaba axis (Ekwe, Ofekata Orodo etc)

5. Onuimo LGA

6. Nwangele LGA (Linda Ikeji's place)

7. Ideato South and Ideator North (Akokwa, Osina, Obodoukwu etc)

8. Even some places in the feared Owerri is cheap, eg. Agwa

I know that some villages/towns in these Local Government areas may be "expensive" to marry from but you can add other areas that you know are cheap to marry from.

This is a new year, find love, go for what you want. IMO ladies hardly abandon their husbands when things are tough (there are exceptions though), most are hardworking, Most are God fearing, they are the most beautiful, they HARDLY marry and remarry or engage in extramarital affairs, they are sociable, they are ambitious and so on.

NOTE: In every 12 Apostles, there must be a Judas so, pray and understudy your prospective wife.

Expensive traditional marriage can be when you spend 600,000 Naira to 1 Million Naira or more TO FULFILL ALL the REQUIREMENTS IN THE MARRIAGE LIST (decoration, band, DJ, Aso Ebi and other things in a traditional marriage event not inclusive)

While an affordable marriage is when you spend 50,000 Naira to 300,000 or less to FULFILL ALL THE REQUIREMENTS in the MARRIAGE LIST (DJ, Aso Ebi, food, etc not inclusive)

If there are areas that I didn't cover, please add.

Bro you are not entirely correct. Am from umuhu okabia ( cubana’s village) and my sis just got married this last December. The total cost of the cultural/ traditional list was 450k. Thank God the hubby is a big boy so he just paid in 500k into my dads Acc to cover the list n went ahead with other plans.
What if he was a hustler or an average guy? 450k just to cover the list is really on the high side . So to get married to a girl from my place (including the Traditional ceremony n excluding the white wedding) one would have to make a budget of at least 1million.I had to raise the matter during the “Umunna” meeting but met a brick wall as their disposition to reducing or tuning down on the list was completely a no go area.
I think it’s high time our legislators from that region did something drastic to stop this outrageous bills been levied on potential suitors.We cannot overemphasize the fact that this is already affecting our girls cos av heard several stories of suitors who abandoned their fiancés, because of outrageous cultural lists.

bizme:
Ahahahaha. Cheap or expensive Igbo wives, a sale is a sale.

Why must anyone collect anything in the first place in the name of marriage list just because your daughter is getting married? Whether you call it dowry or you call it marriage list, the money is coming from the groom's pocket. Do you disrespect your daughters so much as to be exchanging her for a list of material things? Call it tradition to make yourself feel good, but it is just another display of greed and entitlement on the part of the bride's family.

If you must collect anything as part of the marriage list, collect as much as you want and hand it over to the new couple to start life with instead of camouflaging your greed as tradition. Any family who so brazenly displays greed on the account of their daughter getting married lacks shame.

You are very ignorant n childish for this comment of yours it shows the level of your capacity to reason....
Am sure you are an afonja ,that does not take the marriage institution seriously, a tribe that their women marry more than one husband n they are ok with it.
For your info the marriage rites been practiced by igbos is biblical, go check the customs of the Jews.
Having said that we are working on refurbishing the Igbo marriage rites to make it more affordable n humane n not to eradicate it.

I wonder how many of you can afford these costly lands to start with, with you buying and selling besides your oral buying up land y'all are know for.

Oya faaayaaa!

Wetin this one dey talk, abi you smoke oshogbo weed

Aderewah:
Lol. People are not moving to lagos anymore. House rent in lagos is average of 1m per year. Lets even forget buying houses. No more space in lagos. People are loving to ib enmasse now. Ibadan is the capital of western nigeria and is the fastest growing city in Nigeria today. I love my city.

Keep fooling yourself there

iamcee:
Sex before marriage isn't a good thing..I just feel bad about the way pre-marital sex is now common.
If the guy loves you,he should wait..that would even be of great help in avoiding the problem of sexual diseases, abortions,etc.
Now,males and females are just in relationship for nothing else than sex and money.. that's bad...
Premarital sex isn't a good thing.. don't involve in it if you haven't
Once your partner understands you,you won't have problem.
One reason why getting a partner who understand you well is important

My dear this points you raised are not valid especially if they really love each other n really intend to be together

When Adeniran in PDP warned you Ibos about the implication of Ibos telling the SW PDP members that the party chairmanship is for the entire South and not micro-zoned to the SW, what did Ibos tell him?

The rotation is between North and South! Get that fact into your skull so you don’t commit suicide

The presidency is a different ball game Oga stop typing nonsense

seunmsg:
The above is sacrosanct as far as APC is concerned. Whether PDP gives its ticket to Atiku or Kwakwanso is none of my business. But that APC ticket ehn, it is going to a southerner and that’s all that matters as far as 2023 is concerned.

You will only be making sense if you say it is going to the south east otherwise this your comment is trash
