FarahAideed:
So Boko Haram has the ability to airlift over 100 Abductees in planes....hmm. interesting

This is the real issue. One of the Chibok girls narrated how helicopters used to drop supplies to the Boko Haram . Now we hear of the victims being air lifted. Planes, helicopters, trucks, buses etc etc. ? ? ? ? ?

The guy is a true hero

We are all trigger happy.

wasn't the first in the Country but the first independent University. Ibadan was the first University in Nigeria

University College Ibadan was established on 17th November 1948 with three founding faculties; Arts, Science and Medicine

A university college is not a university.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Business and Rule, Senator Ita Enang, yesterday ruled out bad blood between Akwa Ibom and Cross River states over the Supreme Court judgment on 76 oil wells. Enang, who represents Akwa Ibom Northeast, said Akwa Ibom State was already working to ensure that there is no bad blood arising from the ruling. He said: “The Supreme Court has not ceded 76 oil wells to Akwa Ibom State . The Supreme Court has simply confirmed the ownership of the oil wells which belonged to Akwa Ibom State . “Remember there was a judgment of the Supreme Court prior to the implementation of the judgment of the International Court of Justice as to whether Cross River State is a littoral state. “The Supreme Court at that time ruled that for Cross River State to be an oil state depended on the implementation of the judgment of ICJ. “The Supreme Court ruled that if Bakassi remains as part of Nigeria under the Green Tree Agreement, Cross River State will not have access to the sea. If Bakassi goes to Cameroun, Cross River State remains a land-locked state and does not have access to the sea. “Having access to the sea will give you the benefit of what comes from the sea, the off shore oil. “We have the judgment; we are very pleased with the Supreme Court for maintaining the principle of judicial precedent. A cross section of Akwa Ibom State indigenes yesterday hailed the judgment.The verdict finally ended the anxiety, apprehension and tension that enveloped the state since the legal battle began. The State Chairman of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Dr. Amadu Attai, commended the Supreme Court for deciding the case on its merit. The ACN chairman said with the ruling coming in favour of the state, it would enable the state government to concentrate on developing the state. His words: “The people of the state are happy as such would make the state government to concentrate on its development strides. “It would make the governor to concentrate more, the case was a sort of distraction to government, the governor would now be committed to the development of the state, if the judgment had been otherwise, it would have dealt a big blow on the state.” A member representing Nsit Ubium in the State House of Assembly, Onofiok Luke, described the Supreme Court judgment as justice for the people of the state. Luke explained that the verdict is a landmark judgment for the people of the state as it would allow the state government to concentrate more on its electoral promises to the people of the state. His words: “Akwa Ibom people are happy and have confidence in the judiciary particularly the Supreme Court being the apex court in the land. It is a justice for the people of Akwa Ibom state.” Former Secretary of Civil Liberties Organisation in the state, Ekanem Ekanem, advised government to make good use of the resources that would accrue to the state based on the judgment. Ekanem said: “It is a good development for Akwa Ibom people; it would enhance development, not embarking on project that would not have direct bearing on the ordinary Akwa Ibom person. “What we need now are basic infrastructures and or necessity of life such as good roads, constant power supply and housing at affordable rate, raise the standard of living of the common man in the state.” Source: Naija.ng Read more: https://www.naija.ng/2671.html

something is obviously wrong with your skull.
Otondo

I believe in intellectual discuss. Please prove me wrong.

GodIsBiafran:
The OP is an anti-Igbo hater from cross river state. STAY away from his posts. I repeat stay away from his posts.

Cross River state has no sea boundary

If we say that the Olukumi are Yoruba, then we must answer the question as to why their towns bear Igbo names and their king bears Igbo title.
We also must answer the question as to why the themselves bear Igbo names.

Burukpe:
May the God of thunder fire and paralyse both Ngeribara,Chidi Lloyd,Tonye Princewill for creating a senseless picture of insecurity in Rivers state

It looks like these people live in a different Rivers State

oloriooko:
The only reason bubu will win has already been set in motion: inability of many citizens getting their PVC.
The rigging is in motion already and more machineries are being prepared to be shipped in from neighbouring countries. Do you think bubu is a mumu like gej who was beaten as the incumbent?

THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN AND KEPT FOR THE TIME.

Words that mean "me" in Igbo language include the following.
Mu,
Mi,
Ma,
etc etc depending on the dialect.

Klinee:
Olukumi for me is more of Igala than Yoruba, their language sound more deviant Igala language.
Though their language is very difficult for an average Igala man to understand and they very closer to Igala than Yoruba.
But in Olukumi town like Ugbodu and Okunzu they are bilingual speaking olukumi language and Igbo language fluently. The 'Olukumi' as a word, I believe is an Igala word which means 'my friend'
Secondly there is no sign of Yoruba culture in their land, their names is purely Igbo, their culture is purely Igbo.
I remember visited the town Ugbodu taken a bike from Issele uku, en route Onisha uku down to Ugbodu.
I recall visiting the Paramount ruler of Ugbodu town the Odogwu of Ugbodu.
In 'Olukumi' father is refer as Bami, mother is refer to as Yami.
If I say 'mu pure water wa' means 'bring pure water come'
'Bu iji rumi' cut firewood for me
'maa ko iji ru' you people should park firewood

Igala and Igbo are very very interwoven. About Half or more of Obosi is Igala. Many you call Onitsha people are actually Igala. Do you know that Emmanuel Okala is Igala?

ameri9ja:
Yeah, but who exactly do u have to replace him?
Is it Atiku caught red-handed in corruption? That's the problem. They r all corrupt.

You can replace him if you stop underrating yourself.

Olu means Neck or voice or work depending on the dialect. in Igbo language. Umi means marrow or tube or relaxation, rest or recreation depending on the dialect..
Olukumi would mean neck is stronger than marrow or tube.It can also mean voice of marrow or voice of tube. It can also mean work is better than relaxation. Igbo names are descriptive.

Ekiti is an Igbo word meaning center. Ondo is an Igbo word meaning Yes,sorry in literal translation but it means feel at at peace. You guys should do some research.

He did not know what happened in PTF

Ramos16:
How can the judge withdraw from the case, could he not charge EFFCC for contempt of court?

There is frustration. That is why the judge withdrew from the case. It shows that the judge is afraid of ECFF and their oga.

The refineries have been given to China. The man is just rationalising the situation.

Chief Nwodo sir,

GOOD MORNING SIR

dokiOloye:
Nnamdi Kanu and Fela remain the greatest Nigerians ever.

Very Very.

I am researching on antennas and wave guides. Talk with me if you are interested.

omenka:
Do you know the meaning of "in the movie"

Yet you call someone an ewu.

Smh.

You are complete Ewu. In the movie she is not called Rita Dominic.

T.Y Danjuma who lead the siege on govt house Ibadan has said that Fajuyi never defended Ironsi or opted to die with him.

Marcelini:
Ah. Finally, someone came to the rescue.

Thanks bro. Saved me valuable time I would have used to type that.

Were there no Yoruba soldiers in the attack against Biafra?

Firstpage:
What I mean is the war was between the east and north until the biafran troops shifted their attention to the west.

Was west another country?

When you insult Zik, a curse will follow you. Zik put in so much for Nigeria. It cannot be in vain.

Presently Cross River state has no sea boarder.
