midolian:So how did Ngige being norminated for minister be compasation for Igbos since Ngige will be representing Anambra slot in the ministerial appointment? You should go back to your lords and ask them to arm you with a sellable propangada and deceit. This one is quite dumb and cheap. It just wont sell. |
fratermathy:A blessed morning to you. |
fratermathy:You're really poorly travelled. To the average Urhobo man, the niger delta region doesnt go beyond the handful ethnicities you just mentioned. That's very naive and insulting. Geographical niger delta covers a large part of Ukwani, Ndokwa, Ikwerre, Diobu , Ahoada, Emoha. And these people have a very different culture from yours. My line of work has taken me to diverse places of the niger delta. If the Ikwerres who have there mouth pointing to the sea in PH are not geographically niger delta to you, how then is Abraka, Eku, Orogun etc niger delta? That's why i said earlier that you are unbearably Urhoboic. You didnt even include Akwa Ibom and Cross River which have pure niger delta towns in their states. I doubt if you truely understand the geographical term "Delta". |
fratermathy:Your comment suggests that itsekiri , Urhobos and Ijaws are the ONLY culture in Niger Delta. And that the Ndokwa nation comprises just Obiaruko and Kwale. well, how well travelled are you? How vast is your knowledge in the diverse cultures of all the ethnicities of the people of niger delta? The largest group of people in the niger delta are the igbo speaking people. And the anioma culture is similar to the Ikwerres, Ndonis, Amoku, Etches, Ahoada etc. I dont know you but there's something unbearablly urhoboic about you. |
aleem50:And you're who? You sound politically and culturally shallow. Delta is only a political term birthed only recently in 1991. The term does not describe the various indigenous people that make up the state, who each have their distinctive roots and identity. For whatever strange reason,, it seems hard for some individuals to swallow the truth that igbos are indigenous to Delta state. Well, unfortunately NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT. Going political; My darling naija will never breakup. So much brighter days ahead.( whether the pessimists believe it or not) But in the eventuality of a breakup, just so to speak; my people would be well adviced to move with their eastern kin. It would be foolish and suicidal staying put when our brothers in the east are gone. With our names and culture identical , we would be brutally marginalized by whatever is left of Nigeria. Ask my brothers, the Igbankes who were eroneously placed in Edo state by an insensitive military regime what they're suffering in Edo state. ***Modified: I just saw a post of yours identifying yourself as a Yoruba boy. What in the devil impels you, a complete outsider sticking your nose into what is entirely no business of yours? How dare you? You offshoot of a jealous seed! Little did you and your lot realize that when you make the Igbos the centre of your problems, you expose yourselves as a miserable, pathetic bunch, itching all over with envy! |
dhc:Proudly deltan of an Igbo stuck from Aniocha north local govt. So who am I? I am proudly Igbo! A people most enterprising! |
osothermal:you can at least be patient enough and wait for an Edo thread to put forth your FALSE CLAIM. |
Macelliot:1 john 2:19 Good riddance bro! |
You definitely are a kid and an abuse to the internet @OP |
Toks2008:From your topic i realised you wrote from personal experience, but reading this shed more light that you indeed wrote from personal bias. Dating a 19 year old girl at 27 isnt much of a standard obtainable in this day and age. Her mind was prone to wander considering the huge age gap between you both. She defnitely would wonder what dating someone around 22-24 would feel like. Esp if she's the wandering type. So from your own exprience you prefere older women? Well different strokes for different folks. while it is true age can bring maturity to women, this is relative. It mainly depends on the kind of person they are and their background. Some ladies who are in their 30s stil feel they've not had enough of the world. I wonder how many fertile days are left in a woman in her early 30s. and just what she had traded to gain the "tainted experience" you clamour for. |
GstringAngela:very unfortunate of you. |
I sincerly doubt your dream has to do with abundance. I believe your dream has to do with your family. There may be areas in their lives dat is open to attacks from the enemy. and its on you to do something about it hence you got the revelation. |
You better stay away from your husband's cousin or else you want to bring curses on yourself. Outside of your husband's cousin, adultery is not an option for you. so try and get your husband talking to know what his problem is. |
clevvermind:Be certain that gamling is sin. It falls under the sin of greed. You musn't wait until you see a sin mentioned in the bible in black & white before recognizing it as sin. Masturbation is not mentioned in the bible, but it falls under the sin of lust. Gambling is greed. The owner of a gambling firm only profit when stakers lose. And stakers get paid if win from the money other stakers lost. you dont have to be a christian to realize gambling is wrong. A healthy moral mind knows. |

“I have perceived among the youths, a young man lacking sense, passing along the street near her corner, taking the road to her house” (Proverbs 7: 7-8 ) Marriage - a lifetime covenant, an irrevocable oath reconized by GOD, man and spirits, separable only by death. With this truth in mind, a man has to be very careful and wise when considering marriage. And if you follow the counsel of GOD, HE will go before you to lead you to the right path. NOTE: This is not a sexist post. It's only a guide for men intending to get married. So here's the 10 women to avoid when considering marriage: 1. THE UNBELIEVER: Scripture is replete with exhortations against such marriages (in both the Old and New Testaments). Contrary to popular misconception, God’s prohibition against marriages to foreign women in the Old Testament was not due to racism. Instead, God was simply preventing the spread of idolatry. Israel, God’s chosen people in the Old Testament, represented what Christians would later represent in the New Testament. Hence, God’s prohibition against marrying an unbelieving woman in the New Testament (2 Cor 6:14) is simply the extension of God prohibiting a Hebrew man from from marrying a Canaanite woman in the Old Testament (Deut 7:3-4). “Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, for they will turn your children away from following ME to serve other gods, and the LORD’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy you” (Deut 7:3-4). What then, is a believer? A Christian essentially is someone who believes in the gospel of Jesus Christ. What then, is the gospel? The gospel is: 1. God is holy, loving, and just. He therefore, must condemn all sinners to punishment in the flames of eternal hell; 2. You and I are all sinners who deserve nothing but God’s wrath in hell after our deaths; 3. God loved humanity so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus (who was fully God and fully man), to die on the cross for your sins. Jesus paid the debt for your sins and absorbed God’s wrath on your behalf. 3 days later, Jesus resurrected from the dead; 4. If you repent (turn from) all your sins and personally put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord, God and Savior, then you will have eternal life. 2. THE DIVORCEE: Jesus clearly taught that unless the first marriage ended due to a partner’s sexual infidelity, a second marriage is to be considered invalid and adulterous. A divorced woman, therefore, is off limits for a Christian man. Unrepentant adultery being a sin that prevents one from obtaining eternal life (1 Cor 6:9). “If she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery” (Mark 10:12). “And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery” (Matthew 19:9). 3. THE OLDER WOMAN: Not a sin, but certainly not God’s ideal. God expects men to be the spiritual leaders of the home (Eph 5:25) and it certainly requires an extra measure of grace to lead a woman who’s older than you. Again, if you’re a man and you’re already in such a marriage, then honor it till the day you die–it’s still a valid marriage and divorce is not an option! However, if you’re not yet married but thinking about an older woman I want to remind you that God intentionally (with good reason!) created Adam before Eve in the First Marriage. Scripture informs us that God created man first chronologically for the sake of authority! Listen: “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve” (1 Timothy 2:12-13). Evidently, within the First Marriage, God intended chronology (age) to be a reason for authority. Apparently, even secular researchers are now beginning to discover results that back up God’s wisdom as demonstrated in the Bible: “If you’re a woman two or more years older than your husband, your marriage is 53 percent more likely to end in divorce than if he was one year younger to three years older.” (Source: Rebecca Kippen, Bruce Chapman and Peng Yu, “What’s Love Got to Do With It? Homogamy and Dyadic Approaches to Understanding Marital Instability,” Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, 2009.) 4. THE FEMINIST: There’s no room within Christendom for the “Christian feminist.” Though women and men have equal value in the eyes of God (Gal 3:28), they certainly have different God- given roles. Any woman who tries to usurp her husband’s authority or even claims to be a co- leader with her man is gravely dishonoring the God who created her to be subject and obedient to her husband (Eph 5:22, Col 3:18, 1 Pet 3:1). Eve was distinctly created “for” man, a point that the apostle Paul makes abundantly clear in 1 Corinthians 11 when he writes, “For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.” (1 Corinthians 11:8-9). Men, your wife is to be your “helper” (Gen 2:18)–not your leader and certainly not your equal in terms of authority. Look for a woman who agrees with you in this very vital God-ordained relational dynamic. 5. THE IMMODEST-DRESSER : Sexy might inadvertently catch your eyeballs, but it shouldn’t catch your heart. The way that a woman is willing to expose herself says much about her heart: “And behold, the woman meets him, dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart” (Proverbs 7:10). The text in Proverbs explains that a woman will dress in a certain way to catch a certain type of man. Don’t be that man. Don’t be the fool who’s led by his hormones instead of the Holy Spirit. Remember: you want godly, not gaudy. 6. THE GOSSIPER/SLANDERER: Women may love to talk, but there’s wisdom in looking for a woman who speaks with wisdom. Gossip and slander are not good things to have in your marriage. Desperate housewives make for desperate husbands. “Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.” (1 Timothy 5:13). 7. THE CHILDBIRTH AVOIDER: Do not marry a woman who is not willing to have children of her own. In the Christian worldview, there is absolutely no room for two married, biologically capable, human beings to remain intentionally child-less. If you are adverse towards having children, then there’s a simple remedy for that: single-hood. However, if God has called you to marriage, then He actually expects children. Both the New and Old Testaments are very clear on this teaching: “Did he not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking ? Godly offspring” (Malachi 2:15). “Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control” (1 Timothy 2:15). 8. THE WANDER-LUSTER: There’s nothing wrong with the occasional family vacation. There is something very wrong with a girl who regularly needs to be “out of the home.” The constant desire for new experiences, new places, new faces, and new forms of entertainment only serves to clearly manifest the fact that the woman has not found her rest in God. Believe it or not, Scripture speaks repeatedly about such women: “She is loud and wayward; her feet do not stay at home ” (Proverbs 7:11); “Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house . And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to” (1 Timothy 5:13). 9. THE CARIEER-FIRST WOMAN: Now, I want to clarify something here. There is nothing wrong with a woman who works (Acts 16:14), what’s wrong is a woman who puts her career ahead of her family. Modern society might hate to hear this, but God made men to be the providers and women to be the nurturers of the home (in most instances). It’s okay for a woman to be a doctor, attorney, or any other professional. However, if her career is coming at the expense of her home, then something is wrong. If day-care is raising her young children while she’s working, then something is wrong. I understand that there might be a season of life where the wife might have to be the main bread- winner due to her husband’s unemployment, but it should not be the desired norm. The woman ought to be willing (and even desirous–to some extent) to give up her job for the sake of raising her kids in the Lord. “So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander” (1 Tim 5:14). 10. THE DEVOTION-LESS WOMAN : Is the woman having a regular, daily devotional time with her God? If she doesn’t love the Lord now, chances are, she won’t love the Lord after marriage. (Don’t delude yourself–you’re not going to change her.) You want to marry a girl who has an intimate relationship with Jesus. Jesus (not you) has to be the first man in her life. Here are some good questions to ask: Does she have an active prayer life? Does she have a heart for evangelism? Is she hungry for God’s Word? What does her pastor think about her? Do you remember this account from Scripture: Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. [39] And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. [40] But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” [41] But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, [42] but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38-42 ESV) Marry the Mary (no pun intended). Such women have picked “…the good portion, which will not be taken away” from them. God be with you men. Strong families start with strong wives. Choose wisely and choose in the Lord! |
DiademSh07:Youre really hard to ignore. Your type of ignorance is very atractive. Study well, you seem half-baked in knowledge . I dont mean to attack your person but youre damn right irritating with no manner of self-respect. Youre so poorly bred that you dont know your place or rights. Neither do you have respect for people or their ethnicity. You lack shame. Youre an outsider. you dont have any moral ground to assert what or where delta ibo are or came from. Germanic language means language that sporn out of old german language. Not neccessarily the people. english, dutch, etc are grouped under the germanic language. Arsene Wenger is French, cos his language is distinct from germany. And so is England. Language and culture are the first determinant that points to what tribe a people are. Some communities can trace their ancenstry further than others even when they are related. Africans hardly domimate others to the extent to clean their language. My local government has a tiny group of people who spoke olukumi language - an ancient yoruba language , despite being tiny and in the middle of a large ibo speaking group, they never lost their language till today. So what makes you think the delta ibos lost theirs to influence from SE ibos? We have always spoken ibo. We dont share lineage with bini. Let this bad news settles in and choke the envy, evil hatred out of your soul. |
DiademSh07:Which land did your forefather stayed before their last known migration? Was your current land empty when your folks settled in? You speak without knowledge. Blinded by hatred and envy, your swords of attack are so blunt and baseless. The present location of the aniomas has always been their home from the earliest recorded history. No history recorded any other tribe that stayed there before us. If that hurt you so much, then i'm sorry for you. You have no cure than to swallow the bitter pill. Even agbor dialect is completly inteligent to south eastern ibos but completly uninteligent to binis. Ignorance is a big disease. It hurts you deeply to even fathom that ibo are indigenous to states outside the SE. Your envy and hatred have driven you into madness. |
[quote author=DiademSh07 post=34061927]Which land was your fore father's land? Was it empty when you came there? You ibos in Delta state are just refugees![ Which land did your forefather stayed before their last known migration? Was your current land empty when your folks settled in? Who speak without the knowledge. Blinded by hatred and envy, your swords of attack are so blunt and baseless. The present location of the aniomas has always been their home from the earliest recorded history. No history recorded any other tribe that stayed there before us. If that hurt you so much, then i'm sorry for you. You have no cure than to swallow the bitter pill.

DiademSh07:Youre really classless and without selfworth. Killing yourself over something that isnt your business. How pitiable! You are so irritating! Thats the land of my forefathers! |
lygn19:pls, Anioma people never spoke bini or edo language at any point in history! They never even bore bini or edo names , even right from Eze Chima who was said to be their progenator. They have always spoken the ibo language in their own dialects like every other ibo speaking group. |
einsteino:FALSE! NOT ME OR MY PEOPLE SHARE ANCESTRY WITH BINIS! If you re not from delta north, then pls kindly stay off. Dont meddle into what you dont know or have a right to. |
ideykwum:You just make me proud each time you dish a mortal blow to these people who shamelessly marginalised themselves trying to claim a new ethnicity. When their language and culture pleads a different course. |
Ishilove:it's 99% igboid. |
gbl01:You could"nt have said it better. Even Atiku and a northern governor made serious statement of violence but we dont see any reaction from hopeless Obama. Well good ridance to bad rubbish, america is not a safe place being the crime capital of the world, a huge surveilance state where everyone is being watch, a new leader in police brutality. so take your bleeding forsaken US and shove it up your china-kicking-b.u.t.t. Rubbish! Dubai, Brazil, the Caribeans are much more fun. |
CHM11:Its very hard to ignore you. i tried but failed. But first let me make one thing clear: NIGERIA ISN'T GONNA BREAK UP! WE HAVE THIS CONTINENT TO RUN AND MANAGE. THE DESTINY OF THE BLACK RACE IS ON THIS GIANT'S (NIGERIA) SHOULDERS. OUR ENEMIES FROM OUTSIDE WANT US TO BREAK SO THEY CAN LAUGH. BUT ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Coming to your niger-delta assertions, i'm from delta state like you and i say it to your face NIGER DELTA IS NOT ONE. There is no one tribe in niger delta that isnt uncomfortable with the next tribe. Everyone used to be fearful of the ijaw expanding and teritorial claims from edo to even ondo. If for example niger delta states are left to form a country, they would disintegrate and fragment into more than 20 tiny insignificant countries. In delta state we saw how hard it took for power to be shifted to delta north because of tribalism. Delta north constituting 9local government out of 25 is igbo speaking. And they are the largest ethnicity in delta state in terms of local government area. Igbo speaking people in Rivers state is very huge. If you add up the igbo speaking indigines in delta and rivers states, you have arguably the largest group in the niger delta. why we say no to the fragmentation of the most powerful and most important country in Africa and the only hope for the black race, denying our roots and lineage is not the way to go. Though you sure are entitled to your own opinion. |
Yungwizzzy:You should live beyond "now". SE/SS lost nothing. The awareness and alliance created by these two region is far more valuable than the spoils of 8years. |
EVarn: ![]() EVarn:right. lol! No doubt southies are not our friends. they are ungreatful competitors. But little did they realize they're not even a true competitor to Nigeria. They inherited the arogance of the anglo-dutch but lack the brains to pursue it. They believed they could run this giant continent from down under! Well, Ethiopia and Egypt have lined up to take 2nd and 3rd place in Africa behind Nigeria. We can consider Southafrica in 4th or 5th place. Thats where they truely belong. The anglo-dutch hype is melting fast like wax under the fire. And that country is being exposed as she lies butt-naked while the world stare at her ugliness hidden all this while under propanganda. |
EVarn:i'm dead serious. No point jocking my man. He was the one who dragged me into NL. |
EVarn:No, he's my twin. (not joking) |
