clevvermind:
someone asked me this question and i decided to forward it to the believers here cos i don't really have much idea about it.

so, what is your take on this?

Cc: lalasticlala, ishilove

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.

christaddicted:
OP, thank you very much for this. God so bless you.

GOD bless you too.

“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!

Abeg, get off my face!
That Arsene Wenger and his ethnic group speak germanic language stopped him from being a french?
Is ethnicity traced by language or ancestry?
Buch of revisionist!

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 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?
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.

It's a matter of time the owner of Delta flush you out!
Your fore fathers found the land in Delta barren, huh?
It's a matter of time!

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:
But if u meet an a delta north person whose name is chidera outside delta state, lemme say in a neutral state like rivers state and ask her where are u from, she wud tell u Delta-igbo...
Also does any Edo person answer Chidera, u guys have Bini ancestry but u guys abandoned ur Benin Language and adopted Igbo as ur language... only in Nigeria dat things like dx happens.

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:
There is no such thing as delta igbo. Get ur facts right

The people you call delta igbo do not share any ancestry with igbos, rather most have theirs from the binis.

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 are amazingly dense!! I'm from Okrika, and would have proudly told you I'm Igbo if I was...not like some slowpokes on the Internet! I have made it my mission to unravel nonentities like you who use the Internet as a medium to spread hate and lies to justify political positions!

That's why I'm not surprised you didn't get my sarcasm about your being Yoruba...you're an empty vessel and an identity thief! A remarkable and bottom-of-the-barrel Liar!!

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.

Ukwuani is not exactly igboid. There are elements of Yoruba and Edo contained therein.

one sided as always just like they keep blind eyes to repressive government elsewhere so long they do their bidding

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!

CHM11:
Very deep in my blood...even my cells know it...


I'd rather have a free independent Niger Delta than have a new country with the igbos.

Benin, warri, Portharcourt, or calabar won't be bad capitals you know...lols...

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:

I'm sorry hate will make we igbos forever remain followers

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.

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.

Whoo! I will not respond in detail to yourvrubbish. Go home! This is not Lagos, you cannot claim one Nigeria here.

Hardworking people crying so hard to stay in the land of the xenophobes and the lazy. Well by th way we know now who have cognitive problems. Btw, even Yorubas are lazy and blah, blah!

Dontdie with all your hardworking in SA please go home. This is really easy if you think about it leave the lazy, wicked Xenophobes in their country.

The nigerian man that brought you here should be tried for treason.
You f.o.o.l, are you trying to divide my people? How did lagos/yoruba become your problem, you woman from the last country of Africa?
But you have failed already. we're 170mil strong. There will be no breakups. The whole continent is for our taking including your HIV infested south africa.
By the way, tell mtn, dstv, shoprite and all the southafrican personel to leave my darling nigeria alone and go home and we will send all Nigerians packing from Southafrica. But none will listen to you. Nigeria is mtn most important market. so it is for dstv. They'd rather disown you and remove your citizenship than have you ruin their market.

Bewarned, i'm invoking lezz to come finish you up. I'm a lot kinder and considerate in contrast.
It is for your best interest you leave this forum quietly before the greatest southafrican slayer ever finds you!

BluIvy:
Only behind Nigeria i would imagine because as we speak Nigeria is at the no. 1 spot.

Even a Thai police officer confirmed that receives" Nigeria is the shame and curse of Africa". An Indian community leader call Nigerians a cancer that the world need to rid itself of. I can go on and on but i hope you get the point. In all of this South Africans are doing all of this in their country while you are rotten inside and outside you country. We are lazy and being wicked in our country, get it? If you do not like it, get the fcck out of our country. Is it by force that you must be in SA? I think SA will have to just take it up a million times notch to replace Nigeria at that spot. And that is the truth.

Having most of your life lived and living on a nigerian forum says just the oppisite. Your country is a mess, with decaying infrastructure. You lived the hypes of anglo-dutch inputs, now that the country us handed to you bunch of blacks, the country is decaying. And you turned your frustration on other blacks who are superior because you just cant compete. Nigerians dont oppress foreigners here. They are free to own businesses. We"re entreprenurers and an unconquarable people. Unlike most of your people who are slow, unimaginative, uninteligent, incompetent wicked cowards.
Black southafricans are the true shame of the black race, being the weakest to break free from the slave masters, having inherited all the assets from the anglo-dutch but couldnt manage the country after only two decades.
If your people didnt resort to raw violence and evil, Nigerians with legitimate business will take over your country. I bet a nigerian man brought you to nairaland where you are experiencing true life with the most vibrant of people (Nigerians) on the continent.
I'll hand you over to Lezz to finish you with the final nail. Rubbish!

omoharry:
Please my brothers and sisters in SA come back home oooo!! it is better to stay and managed with what you have in your country than die like a chicken in SA.....SOUTH AFRICANS are enemies of Nigeria... they lack love in their heart toward their fellow African brothers. kindly look around you , you will find out that Nigerians are not the only victims there..other citizens from Zimbabwe, Somalia etc are equally affected..they are blood suckers and they have large sympathizers that support this killing and butchering since they too cannot stand foreigners in their land. Branding and killing every foreigners or Nigerians as thief, criminals is not the way to go.. ...If we behave like South Africans, that means the every Chadians, Nigerien's will be tagged and killed as Boko Haram or enemy of the country. What about the some Indians, Lebanese or Chinese that are into some illegal business in Nigeria..they all would have been become endanger species in Nigeria..... SOUTH AFRICANS hide under the guise of Nigerians are drug peddlers, Nigerians are criminal .. Nigerian are this ... Nigerian that to perpetuate their deep rooted hatred they have for this Country and other African countries...monsters. you want to become Giant of AFRICA? HOW CAN YOU BECOME ONE WHEN YOU CANNOT EVEN STAND TO PROTECT YOUR OWN FELLOW BLACK MAN FROM THE RAIN. COME AND CLAIM THE TITLE NA.. NONSENCE

You're supposed to be in the ministry of foreign affairs and international relations. You would make this country proud with your awareness. The true giant of Africa -- Nigeria needs people like you.

EVarn:
South africans are an extremely brutal breed of the human race,they do not tolerate foreigners prospering in their land; mostly because many black south africans are still jobless illiterates with crime as their only avenue of feeding.
Due to south africa's unfortunate animalistic instincts,many foreign investors have been discouraged to establish companies,while those who had already set up businesses have packed up and ran away in fear of being lynched by south africa's animalistic mobs.
Though their are a number of Nigerian criminal elements in South Africa,it definitely isnt worth carrying out violent reprisals against every foreigner on sight,this goes to show how socially underdeveloped south africa is,afterall,SA has a police force,doesnt it?.

I'm proud of your comment. You know how to defend your own unlike the ignorant nigerians here blinded by shallow thinking and political bankrupcy. You really know black southafticans-- largely insecure bunch who attack anything foreign. From killing and looting Zimbabaweans, Kenyans and Nigerians living in that country simply because they feel inferior and threathened by these hardworking foreigners. And they are here runing the show with dstv, mtn, shoprite etc. And none in Nigeria have ever felt threatened to attack them or their offices/shop/investment. Wicked, lazy souls. Little wonder they suffered very long in the whiteman's grip.
That country soon will be the most hated country in the planet.

America and her cohorts should face front.lf they closed their eyes to the rigging that happened in Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Niger during the presidential election, then they should go and die for calling for cancellation Rivers and Akwaibom gubernatorial elections.

If they like let them cancel the elections and redo it again one million times PDP will win with a wider margin.Udom is the choice of Akwalbom and Wike the choice of Rivers

you couldnt have said it any better. The US wants Jonathan out and they've been bias . Let them leave my beloved naija alone. We dont need their interferance. Their interest in nigeria really worries me cos the US has this evil and discord anywhere she goes. please US leave my country alone!!!

Nice caution to that fellow who lacks sensitivity.

Ymodulus:
I think I will start by trying to be Anthropomorphic, as it will bet express my heading.
Its really sad when insanity realizes that he has a mental disorder then he is as good as cured. The moment a people come to terms with their complex problem which often place them at loggerheads with their host communities the better for them.

I seem not to fathom how a tribe claim to have suffered humiliations and deprivation from other ethnic nationalities. This allegation should be consider very weighty even though it was not substantiated. Nonetheless, this aggrieved ethnic nationality needs to ask herself what is about it that could be responsible for the purported hostile acts of other ethnic nationalities toward it.

One problem I have with Chimanda is all her articles tends to quote Chinua Achebe, even when its evident chinua actions are wrong. The sane mistake she made, about his book "there was a country". Now she is trying to say that the Igbo's were murdered in early 1960's for political reasons? Who started the war? Was it the Nigerian Arny or The late Ojukwu ? I see Chimabda is biased. And she is just a staunt re-echoer of Chinua Achebe's belief.


I liked the fact that she related the massacre of the Ibos in different parts of the country before the civil war. However what I do like to ask her is this,

1. chimanda was there nothing that led to the massacre?

You can't deny that the tendency to dominate in another man's land which is being exhibited now by taking the Oba to court is what led to such. Tell me when you come back from court if the people of Lagos will still have a good relationship with the Ibos.


Chimanda while trying to play a neutral ground at the surface, is been biased deep down. I am sorry to say but if Chimanda spent her time writing this, she wasted that time. As this just further lowered NY respect for her as an internationally recognised writer. Novel is her thing not politics.

Just imagine how shez is spreading lies about 1960s massacre. Posterity Judge you.

A closer look at your piece shows distinct signs of bias, tribalism and fear/insecurity.

Ezekiel 16:49
"Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

50. "And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit.


I wonder why christians are equating gayism with sodomy.
With these^^^ Nigeria is already sodom.


Then, why did your country criminalised gayism and left adulterers, abusers etc?.

To think that GEJ legalised prostitution and he was praised by myopic people for his act against gays.

we criminalized gayism cos the devil (the western world) are trying to force it by all means down our throats.

Bro, I understand your problem
But first, let me debunk this popular saying that people dont/cant change. People do change partially or completely. it all depends how serious the individual is about changing. People quit smoking for good, people quit drinking and patronizing prostitutes. people change when they grow up. Its possible. it happens. so dont give up on her. You're exacly who she needs to help her grow up. What do you think those gifts of yours are for? Those gift of patience, tolerance, understanding, humility. Your FATHER gave you those gift on purpose with the intention you rescue your darling wife. HE armed you adequately for this purpose.
But you may the lacking in one thing --- going on your knees on her behalf. Fighting from the spirit not the physical. What is against her is stronger than her, but not you. Its that old accient enemy of man that hates marriage.

I thought summary were being taught in secondary school's Or oga op, are you Paul by name because it's only Paul that writes this kind of letter to corrinthians & romans..

Not funny!

For every yoruba that is sentimental about other tribes having big influence in lagos, i understand you. But the truth remains lagos must pay the prize other internationl cities paid for being either an economic hub or political capital or both. Lagos enjoyed both for many decades and is still enjoying the economic hub of west africa. its only a mater of time before it becomes the centre of trade and commerce in whole of africa. But it can never aquire such status with reckless statements like this credited to the Oba. Other tribes contributed heavily to what lagos has been over the years. They have so much at stake not to be involved in lagos politics. They have a fair, reasonable right to vote whoever they prefere. In a sane society what the Oba said, if he actually said it, is beneath his exalted office.

Cities like new york, london, paris and several other cities are open to even inter-racial politics and lagos is of the same class as these cities.
When the United Nations was created, a search for a city in the US to serve as headquarters was conducted, a city was chosen. and the city happened to be the city of the Bush family. Being a big and influencial family, they rejected the offer. The reason they gave was that they were not ready to lose their city. They knew having such a mighty office in their city would attract many people into their city and subsequently their influnce will wane.
same is true even for cities that are state capitals in nigeria. The indeginous people lose lands to the government and the city witness large influx of many nonindeginous people. Its a prize most big cities must pay.
In many generations to come, Abuja will witness such.
But the indiginous people remains the chief bride of custody.

^^^You're really thicker and more daft than i initially feared! Who's talking of conventional warfare here?

I've asked for a bit more explanation on this 'Ijaw' thingy you're fond of bandying about! You saying Igbos are Ijaw 'slaves' because we voted en masse for GEJ?

Brother use your GOD-given wisdom now! There's nothing to explain about the slave thing. They just are knowingly or unknowingly bring division among the people of SS/SE. These are the people that divided us in the 1st place.

IGBOSON2:
^^^Scum....where the fuc/k do you think i'm from!? Or you reckon there are no Igbos indigenous to Rivers state?

Care to explain the 'Ijaw' thingy?

He doesnt. Why would he. He just led his last cow to barn for the night.
