This sounds interesting. Story not complete. Joeruano complete this story.

Joeruano thanks for completing the story.

I try not to talk about my personal stuff on Nairaland,but will make an exception today and tell a story before commenting on yours.

I am a Niger Deltan like you too,and a couple of months ago,my younger sister got married. I am also the oldest child and my dad is late(RIP) and so I am the Head of the family.

I had known her husband to be for a couple of years,and I know him to be a struggling young man,who is into different businesses and trying to survive.

Sometimes, without telling anyone, I push little contracts for him to handle so as to meet up,since he never once approached me for money considering the fact he knows I am on the okay side.

I liked him then,and I like him now. I wished him my inlaw,which he eventually became. I consider him a younger brother and that was how I treated him.

My Sister too, a beautiful young lady works for one of those organizations that pays in the 200k region . My sister is also a prudent woman who I know does not spend money on petty things.

When it was time for marriage. They approached me,and after giving them my blessing, I agreed they should go ahead and plan their marriage in Lagos. Later my mother started giving me heat that we should not ignore tradition,and out of pressure from more of my mothers family, I asked them to go get the list from the village.

When they brought the list, the young man went into a very sad mood and my sister called me complaining that village people want to destroy her marriage.

I will finish this story tomorrow. I am about to go take care of some personal matters.

Finishing my story.

When I saw the list, to say I was taken aback would be an understatement. They asked for everything there,and then some.

Now let me talk about this my village people and my history with them.

I went straight for my post-graduate degree,after my NYSC,and after graduation, showed up in my community,thinking they will hook me up with one of the Multiple National oil companies, as a native.

They refused to help in a hostile way,and called me a Yoruba man,since i was born and bred in Lagos. And that the spots for jobs they had was for the people that grew up there,and not for strangers like us.

I left there after weeks hanging around, knocking on different doors. It was the humiliation of how I got to Lagos that still gets me upset. I sold my shoes,belts, trousers and my wristwatch.

I swore to never go to my people again for anything.

But my sister was getting married,and her husband to be did not have the muscle to sort everything out. I wanted to help, but did not want to look desperate as if I am in a hurry to just throw my sister way.

Told them not to worry,and that I will sort everything out when I fly back into the Country. A week later I flew into Nigeria,and called for a meeting with my inlaw to be. I asked him to look at the list and see what he can afford there. And when he picked the little things he could shoulder, I told him to bring the cash equivalent,and that I will go to the village myself to beg on his behalf.

I went to my hometown that weekend,and had a meeting with the elders of my family and the community, where I presented them with everything they asked for. I told them my inlaw had provided them to me in Lagos. They got their complete list,as I had swore me or any of my family members will never beg them for anything again.

The only thing they did was send a 5 man village representative to Come for the traditional wedding in Lagos,and that I took care of too.

My sister got married because big brother would not let traditionalists hold her marriage to ransom. They got what they wanted, and everybody is happy.

Not everyone I understand has a brother, or even anyone willing to stick it out for them to make sure their marriage works,as regards meeting the financial burden. And this is why the Tradition of extorting people under the quise of a long lists for marriage should be stopped.

that is btw u and your people. our traditions must continue simple

Any woman against feminism is a fool. At a time women could not vote, women could not work and belonged to the kitchen, women are expected to be seen as hoes wen dey fuk around bt men as dons, we have seen pple like arouma oteh akunyili and other okonjo who suppose to be in the kitchen. But made waves in male dominated sectors. Nonsense weak tweeter

did any of these women u mentioned stayed unmarried

79-year-old Bill Oxley, ex-agent of America’s Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is re-writing the history of the death of reggae legend Bob Marley, claiming he actually killed the legend.
Marley tragically died aged only 36-years-old, leading music lovers world-wide to grieve as the Jamaican icon’s life and career were cut short following a four-year battle with cancer.

The story of cancer may seem untrue as startling claims have emerged from a deathbed confession made by an ex-CIA officer, where he admitted to the killing.
Oxley is alleged to have claimed the murder of Marley among 17 other assassinations for the American government between 1974 and 1985, at a time when he said the CIA “was a law unto itself.”
Oxley, who reportedly worked as an operative for the CIA for 29 years, is alleged to have said he was often used as a hitman on targets deemed to “represent a threat to the interests of the United States.”
In a purported interview shared widely online, he admitted having no problem with proceeding with the Bob Marley assassination because “I was a patriot, I believed in the CIA, and I didn’t question the motivation of the agency – I’ve always understood that sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.”
According to the conspiracy theory, Oxley used faked press credentials to gain access to Bob Marley at his Blue Mountain retreat; introducing himself as a famous photographer working for the New York Times, and gave Bob Marley a gift.
“I gave him a pair of Converse All Stars. Size 10. When he tried on the right shoe, he screamed out ‘OUUUCH.‘
“That was it. His life was over right there and then. The nail in the shoe was tainted with cancer viruses and bacteria. If it pierced his skin, which it did, it was goodnight nurse.”
Bill Oxley, ex-CIA agent and self confessed killer of Marley
“There had been a series of high-profile assassinations of counter-culture figures in the United States in the late sixties, early seventies. By the time Bob Marley’s time came around, we thought subtlety was the order of the day. No more bullets and splattered brains.”
Mr. Oxley says he kept close contact with Marley during the final years of his life, ensuring the medical advice he received in Paris, London and the United States “would hasten his demise rather than cure him.”
“The last time I saw Bob before he died he had removed the dreadlocks, and his weight was dropping like a stone,” he says.
“He was very withdrawn, unbelievably small. He was shrinking in front of us. The cancer had done it’s job.”
Although widely dismissed as fiction, the account does tally with findings by UK scientists in 2014, who discovered the mysterious acral melanomas – the rare type of skin cancer that caused reggae musician’s demise – was in fact not caused by the sun.
Bob Marley’s soon Ziggy has previously implied his Father was killed, saying in a 2013 interview about the death: “I don’t know what to believe … there are a lot of theories.”
In the late 1970s, Jamaica was flooded with cheap guns, heroin, cocaine, right-wing propaganda, death squad rule and, as Grenada’s Prime Minister Maurice Bishop described it three years later, the CIA’s “pernicious attempts [to] wreck the economy.”
“Destabilization,” Bishop told the emergent New Jewel Party, “is the name given the most recently developed method of controlling and exploiting the lives and resources of a country and its people by a bigger and more powerful country through bullying, intimidation and violence.”
In response to the fascistic machinations of the CIA, Marley wove his lyrics into a revolutionary crucifix to ward off the cloak-and-dagger “vampires” descending upon the island.
The CIA, which has denied any involvement in Marle
y’s death, has been approached for a comment.

lilfreezy:
The north wants to be in control of everything in Nigeria. But anything they touch they destroy. These people fail to realize that fifa doesn't allow government interference in its organization. Watch how they will give Nigeria a long ban before the month runs out.

Pinnick has been our best NFF president ever. These greedy men are simply charging because they've heard how much fifa payed NFF after Nigeria was knockout of the world cup.

Northerner una be touch and destroy. Tụfịakwa

i don't know why hatred is embedded inside u?! this problem started when Jonathan was there, fifa banned Nigeria twice no be so if ur umunna Jonathan wanted the case to end he would have asked the court to end it then.

tekno and danfo drivers is a go!!

why won't the shout they where busy fighting Mr president while others were busy working for there regions respectively!

this is chimpanze not gorilla biko...

chichar1:

If Jesus died in Nigeria in this generation.. A lot of Nigeria(femi fani kayode and rano omokiri) will say it was stage managed by buhari led FG.

Rocha's okoroawusa didn't learn from ohakim.

Let's see how your son in-law will take over from you. Shameless man. Your political career has come to an end

na u end am?

valentineuwakwe:
dear chief press Secretary, please let me ask, are you addressing the issue at hand or you are advertising and campaigning for the young man....must we tour everything to politics..let wait n hear wat both of them will say tomorrow. .simple

read the statement well oga.

lonelydora:
I have been waiting for this. So Imo government failed to address the issue instead they were advertising Uche Nwosu?

Okorocha should remember that Ohakim touched God's anointed servant and his political career ended. The earlier he asks for forgiveness, the better for him.

how do u people read self? didn't u people see were he said they won't say anything untill AJV Obinna comes out to tell us the truth... i know he won't come to say anything because people will know that the church lied.

dominique:
I agree with her and sadly a great number of Nigerian parents are also raising their children same way. You raise your sons with soft gloves and raise your daughters with iron fists constantly reminding her that she must be of good behaviour for her future husband. Of what use is all that training if she ends up with a poorly trained boy? Parents have their work cut for them in raising responsible, reliable and accountable children, sadly they are failing woefully going by all the moral decadence going on around us today.

have u heard about spoil a woman u spoil a nation?

wittyt98:

that woman is looking for a way to make the guy her boyfriend.

Probably the worst Governor to rule Anambra.
The man was so bad that his own Party deselected.

Bello who gave Kogi to the invading Foolanis.

The meeting ended fruitfully with the following resolutions:

At the end of the meeting, traditional rulers, the SA to the Governor on Northern Affairs, the Miyetti Allah, the representatives of the community farmers, the representatives of the cattle herders and representatives of the Hausa/Fulani community in the State expressed satisfaction with outcome of the meeting and promised to continue with the existing harmonious living relationship amongst the parties.

ala IMO amaka!!!!

InfiniteLoopx:
Guy, abeg shut your mouth up if you don't know what to say. Herdsmen are not needed anywhere in the east. They can buy land and practice ranching as is the norm, if they are serious in business. Open grazing is anti people and destructive to the eco system in the long run.

if u like shout from now till the year ends if ur governor chooses and ur community leader accepts to allow cattle colony in ur area. my brother u can't cough!

wirinet:
Is this not blackmail? "Accept cattle colony or we will continue to murder your people " you are saying cattle colony is the only condition for peace.

So the uncultivated lands belongs to nobody? You are now saying because I have uncultivated lands means I must submit it to Fulanis for agricultural/pasturial purposes by force or they will start murdering my family.

nothing like blackmail abi redmailing here some states in the north have decided that cattle colony is the way forward for them why can't we allow them to do there thing if it works good for them why will u criticise them when u have not seen it fail.

chairman010:
when did you became Igbo? and how many threads will your Igbo citizenship last?

I am full blooded igbo man. I always see fulani herders in my state. no body have complained they destroy there farmland in imo. why is it different in other states trending on media? or er they pulling media stunts?

jdluv:
please make them help us tape this man s mouth till 2019 we cant afford to listen to more lies

but he did not lie

Mayorchama:
What lie does Lai Mohammed have for us now that the global terrorism watch have included Fulani herdsmen in the 2018 terrorist list? And what does this inclusion make of the president ? Are you thinking?

sorry u made this story up.

stop all these nonsense talks! the cattle colony proposal is not by force...

benue can decide that they don't want the cattle colony but let them not complain of any killing I near future...

the south east said they are ok with ranching and cattles feeding on uncultivated lands. and it has been working for us. so don't instigated hatred we don't want it.
