SATANICALLY: |
Lionnation:He is power drunk and has forgotten that he was elected into office by everyday people. He fancies himself a god and thinks he can speak for all Ebonyians and/or impose his will on them. |
Esama:Tufiakwa! That thing is not Igbo. Attacking Igbo is it’s lifeblood. |
musco4me:Exactly. The Police Commissioner stated the n the article that there was no shooting - only fire crackers were released into the air. Yet the stupid OP came up with his stupid title and stupid Nairalanders who are too lazy to read, ran with it. The saying that : “if you want to hide something from certain people, put it in a book” is definitely true. |
Noneroone:FAKE NEWS!!! @ OP, why post such a misleading title? This is the gist of the article: “ When contacted, spokesman for the state Police Command, Mr. Bright Edafe, said the Command had drafted personnel to all nook and cranny of state, especially Asaba, to provide security to the people. He said he was not aware of any gunshots, but that there was shooting of fire crackers in some areas. [/b]He advised residents to go about their normal businesses and activities and disregard the order, now or in future, saying the police were in total control of the situation” |
missiret:LMAO ![]() |
jidxin:You must be out of your ever loving mind. The article states that he has not been charged and that Ebony is being charged to court on an unrelated matter. |
This thread title is hogwash and is totally misleading. Ebony Mayfield is being charged for a matter totally unrelated to Springfield Aviation (the company of n which Allen Onyema is alleged to have had an ownership interest). Allen Onyema and Ejiroghene Eghagha have also not had any charges whatsoever, brought against them. If all 3 of them have not been charged with any wrongdoing with respect to Springfield Aviations, how then can they be said to be collaborators? |
Excuzeme:But the matter is not even in a U.S Court. Ebony Mayfield is being charged to court on a different matter altogether and the court has not filed any charges against Allen Onyema and Ejiroghene Eghagha. So the title of this thread is entirely misleading and the whole publication is a witch hunt |
lagosrd:IMO remains oil producing. There is crude oil in Oguta. |
shortIGBOman:IMO State is oil producing. AGIP has been drilling for oil in Oguta (my hometown) for ages. Anambra is oil producing and so is Abia. They kept ceding a lot of Abia’s oil wells to Rivers, but crude oil continues to be found deeper and deeper in Abia State. |
Mrtaye:Nwata means child. The way Nwa Nimo used it, it signifies a baby doctor/young doctor. In the song Dbanj was hailed as O sina nwata buru ogaranya. Oga is from Ogaranya which = Boss O sina nwata buru ogaranya = He that has from childhood been a Boss. |
Ugosample:You can be as pedestrian as you want by tagging it as “marrying a corpse.” He is not literally marrying a corpse. The corpse is not going to be present during the performance of the marriage rites. He is being asked to perform post humously, rites that he should have performed when the woman was alive. When a man got a woman pregnant, marrying her was termed “making an honest woman of her.” What is wrong in honoring her and post humously making an honest woman of her. Even in the Western culture that you seem so enamored by, people are honored post humously all the time. |
braine:Your brother’s behavior get as e be. He should have done the right thing and married the woman he impregnated. Stop littering the place with baby mama’s. Stop trying to be fathers through the back door. Back in the day, if you want distribute your sperm far and wide - nothing for you. You are just. Sperm donor and not a father and will not have any children to carry your name forward. This was a custom that ensured moral stability instead of this burgeoning dysfunctional baby mama culture, that will eventually end up destroying the fabric of society, in years to come. |
Roger3D:He is not literally marrying a corpse. There will be no ceremony with the corpse present. He is just required to pay the bride price post humously. |
afadi2410:He is not literally marrying a corpse. He is just paying her bride price post humously. The corpse will not be present. |
Ugosample:So compelling a man to do right by a woman he impregnates is barbarism to you. You would rather the current trend of some men leaving a stream of babymama’s in their wake. So much of the dysfunction in black America is creeping up among Nigerians at an alarming rate. That custom is to ensure moral stability and balance in society. There is nothing in the least bit barbaric about it. It only reinforces the fact that there is no reward for bad behavior and being a sperm donor, does not a father make. Back in the days when this culture was strong, to be a father and have children to carry on your name, you must marry - no IF’s AND or BUT’s about it. |
SandyLOVE08:All that is required is that he pay the bride price. The corpse will still be in the mortuary. The aim of this custom is to discourage the creating of babymama’s and to compel men to do right by women they impregnate. It also sends the message that if men want to be fathers, they have to be legally married. If they fail to marry the women, they are relegated to the status of sperm donors. The child belongs to the girls family and will answer her family name or if the woman marries, her husband may choose to adopt the child, which will answer his name. So it also discourages deadbeat dads who contribute nothing to the child’s welfare, but feels that the child will come looking for him, when the child is grown (in other words trying to reap where they have not sown. |
Gadafii:So ESN should combat UGM while at the same time fending off the DSS and federal forces which have proscribed and are going after ESN for the sole fact that ESN wants to chase Fulani herdsmen from the forest. Use your head. UGM, DSS and other Federal forces (military personnel) are one and the same - with the sole aim of tarnishing ESN and frustrating it in its stated goal of dislodging marauding Fulani herdsmen from south eastern forests. |
shunlet210:My pleasure. |
emorse:Anieto is an Igbo name. Ani = Earth. Anieto = The earth praises. The cross river name you may be referring to is Aniete. |
shunlet210:Anieto is an Igbo name. Ani= Earth. Anieto = The earth praises. |
RaptObserver:Because of the APC led government of Hopeless Uzodinjo. |
SQLmastar:It was most likely a hostile takeover. The implication being that if they didn’t accept his offer, he could hire techies to replicate their business model, compete with and drive them out of business. |
OfoIgbo:This is a valid question. But I also have to add that APGA needs to grow itself from within. What is the party chairman doing? Are they wooing eminently qualified men from these other states to run under the banner of APGA? Yes, a very patriotic and wise Igbo person would do it without any prodding. But not everyone is as wise and forward thinking. In fact some are asleep. You have to wake them up and get that zeal and fire burning in them. Once they are woke, they’ll never go back to sleeping on a bicycle. What’s seen (the light) can never be unseen. cc IGBOSON, SlayerForever, IDENNAA |
leicestercamper:That means all the Fulani people in the bush are common criminals. Hmmm! I wonder why the Federal Government went into a fit of apoplexy, when ESN was created to counter the common criminals in the bush. The same FG is trying to tag IPOB and ESN as common criminals, so that the Fulani marauders can continue unhindered. Amazing! What a country! |
OfoIgbo:Isn’t it odd to you that Umahi switched to APC and now there is no unrest in his State? Umahi’s loyalties are divided and he is doing the biddings of the Fulani led government. IPOB has called off the sit at home order. The FG modus operandi is to give IPOB/ESN a bad name, so as to hang it. Why will ESN that was formed to protect against Fulani bandits, all of a sudden start going after Igbo people? The hands of the Federal Government and DSS are all over this. They have 2 governors in the East in their pocket (Umahi and Hopeless Uzodinjo). These 2 governors, based on the bidding of the Federal Government, pay some jobless youth to burn down buildings in Anambra. I think people are faulting Soludo’s statement because he is half stepping. The unrest in Anambra has the hands of the APC led Federal Government all over it. If he cannot State that Uzodinjo and Umahi, at the directives of the APC led Federal Government are paying some jobless youth, along with DSS, to burn down structures in Anambara, then he should not have said anything at all ... and instead stealthily fight and fix the problem. IPOB/ESN can never burn down any parts of what they hope to be their future country. That an illiterate, hungry youth can be bought over for a loaf of bread to go burn down a building does not mean said youth represent IPOB/ESN or the vast majority of Igbo people. DSS is also very culpable. Their presence is very heavy in the East and they do and undo under cover of darkness and then their propaganda machine goes into overdrive, in the morning, blaming these and that group for what they themselves did. If Soludo cannot address the APC led FG and the APC governors in the East (one of which was imposed on the people of Imo state by an APC controlled Supreme Court) then he should not say anything at all. There should be no half stepping - go after the big fish - the ones behind it all. Name and shame the sellout governors because they because of their presidential and other selfish political ambitions, have decided to sell their people down the river. Also, that some young men are arrested and presented as the arsonist doesn’t mean that they really were. People are framed all the time in Nigeria, even summarily executed by the Police and DSS for crimes of which they know nothing. Even if proper investigation is done and they are found to be culpable, then go after their sponsors. One thing I know is there is something such as “no comment.” Soludo should be tight lipped and go about the business of taking Anambra to greater heights. If he chooses to speak, he should speak boldly and tell the whole story. Pussyfooting as he just did, served Igbo people no purpose. It just sets everyday Igbo people against other everyday Igbo people, while letting the APC led Federal Government and its minions in the East, off the hook. In effect, inadvertently helping them solididy their divide and conquer tactics. On another note Di’m Odumegwu Ojukwu, did wonderfully well be creating APGA. I dare say that APGA is the only hope of the South Eastern region. Because APC seeks to make the whole of Nigeria a one political party state, whereby they instal governors who are only interested in doing the bidding of the Fulani led Federal Government, as opposed to serving the best interest of the people of their states. Peter Obi did reasonably well as Governor of Anambra. When his 2 terms where over, why didn’t he remain as an APGA chieftain/Kingmaker and try to grow APGA massively on a regional level? Why switch to PDP to do whatever? I believe if he had remained to tirelessly build on what Ojukwu started, his name would be written in the annals of time, than this errand he is currently on. Cockrochas Okoroawusa had tried on 2 prior occasions to win governorship in Imo, without success. Then he switched to APGA (because he knew the sentimental value of APGA) in the hearts of Igbo people. He won under APGA and then switched midterm to APC. Why didn’t APGA sue him for this and seek to remove him from office? Why is it that Anambra people vote massively for PDP on the national level, but yet allow PDP to be pressing them on a state level, seeking to usurp the only state that APGA has? Why can’t APGA reach an informal agreement with PDP to look away from Anambra governorship election, in exchange for Anambrarian’s support at the national level? What is the party chairman of APGA doing? Can’t they woo prominent Igbo’s from other states (e.g Alex Otti) to run under APGA? What is being discussed at the South East governors forum? Could Umahi have been convinced (after his Governorship) to run for senate under the banner of APGA? Could he have been offered a choice position in the APGA party structure? All in all, APGA needs to work aggressively at moving itself from the status of a one party state. Even that one state that Anambra has, Anambra plays softball as opposed to hardball, with a PDP that seeks to strip it of its one and only state. Ojukwu’s influence as the ruler of the former Eastern region was what enabled him to create a party and actually have that party win an election on a state level. What have the current crop of APGA/ Igbo’s done to build on the foundation that was laid for them? Why are they not aggressively growing the party? Why are they allowing themselves to be pressed for the only state that they have? If APGA should lose Anambra (God forbid) then there will never be another viable Igbo party. People like Peter Obi, should have been thinking more long term. There is more honor in being a Chieftain and Kingmaker in APGA (leading your people in the right direction) than the current hijinks he is on. The only way forward is for Igbo’s to build a strong regional party, a party to be reckoned with and then enter into national politics from a position of strength. APGA is the only hope of the South East. APGA party members should not mismanage the solid foundation that was left for them. cc: SlayerForever, IDENNAA |
Triangles1:Men don’t have problems but men have incited wars and killed millions if not billions, since the beginning of time. Men are also the biggest perpetrators of violent crimes. But to hear you speak, “Unu no get problem.” |
od501:Canada is granting asylum to IPOB members. I know someone that is on his way to receiving Canadian citizenship. |
TheOldGods:Before we got down from the car, I told her that I don't want to spend more than 3k on the meal between the both of us, and I told her to handle it, which she said fine, and split the fees to 1500 each. According to you: You told her to handle it, to which she said fine. What exactly was she supposed to handle? You also agreed to “split the fees”? Your English funny die. Your communication skills with your girlfriend and your communication skills on this thread are deficient. |
PossibleG:His budget cannot be 3K when she paid 1,500K. Are you freaking kidding me? The crux of the matter is she paid for her food, he paid for his and then she asked to use his left over money 450 naira to buy plantain. Naim wey cause trouble. If you guys want to go around dragging 450 naira with someone you supposedly like and are dating, then be my guest. |
