I'm Ibo, what you see here is a manifestation of family feud. The normal thing is for the bride's uncle to stand in for her in the absence of the dad
There is nothing emotional here.
When I did mine, my father in-law was deseased, so my wife's uncle stood in for him.
This scenario depicts family hate, simple.

In the event that the late father in-law happens to be the only male child in his family, what happens then?

You can't criticize when you haven't gotten full info.

Why is Otedola coping Tony Elumelu in everything?

He left oil sector come join am in the banking industry.

Now he don join am again to start hosting Afrobeat artists.

It seems that Elumelu is his role model.

You're wrong, your quality of life can't be tied to having people you interact with, I'd rather be alone than know a thousand people I don't benefit anything from, I am very popular to some extent, but something happened in my life that made me realize your popularity is useless, I lost my mum and the number of people that really sympathized were very few, infact it was a very small fraction of the people I know and out of that small fraction how many of them sent me common 2k, none, so what's the point of knowing so many people then, I buried my mum quietly then came back and leisurely opened my phone book, I started deleting numbers, cuz na numbers I get not contacts, I delete sotey my contacts no reach 30 again, and that 30 are my family and close friends, I've been on my own ever since, I do what I like, celebrate and reward myself when I want to, earn my money, look nice, just live for yourself, no one would die with you infact two weeks everyone has moved on, have few people you care about and value detachment, it's the Sweetest feeling in the world, being lonely is a state of mind, I can be by myself and still feel like I'm surrounded by a crowd, how? By making sure I do what I love all the days of my life, surround yourself with enjoyment and money and you don't need nobody, there's more to life than having useless friends who don't contribute jack sh!t to your life, what's having so many friends gonna do for you anyway? And why do you need many friends, so you can have people to talk to endlessly? Me wey talking dey even hard me, if you talk too much I cut you off, stop placing importance on the wrong things, enjoy the one life you have and bullsh!t every other things.

Being a "Lone Wolf" will have you live a peaceful mediocre or an average life and you may live longer life.

But, If you want to make great impact in your life, community and the world as a man, you need a tribe of men. All great men in the past followed this pattern including Christ.

I'm introverted myself but this is fact.

Too many accidents happening in America

Truth is, while millions of Americans are homeless. The US govt has over the years been spending billions in many useless international organization and needless wars abroad.

For example, Imagine billions of dollars America spent in that needless Ukraine War with no return on investment while millions of Americans are homeless back home.

Trump wants to run the country like a business and he is saying enough is enough.

Below is US National debt today:

Trump didn't come to play.

The Panama Canal is Panamian infrastructure.

It's like Exxon claiming because they were allowed to explore for oil in Nigeria, they suddenly own it.

You own what you build... that's universal law.

USA built Panama Canal and they have a right of claim to it.

Using Exxon that you mentioned as a case study, they recently sold their Nigeruian oil assets around $1b to Seplat Energy before exiting Nigeria.

"To sell" means that you own.

You may think otherwise as a Nigerian.

But in the eyes of many Americans who voted him, Trump is on track and he is fulfilling his campaign promises so quickly.

You may think otherwise as a Nigerian.

But in the eyes of many Americans who voted him, Trump is on track and he is fulfilling his campaign promises so quickly.

1.) Illegal immigrants coming from South America, Asia and Africa are committing crimes and constituting nusiance in America, citizens wants something done about it. Trump is giving them massive nationwide crackdown and depotation to secure his country.

2.) America is declining economically and countries and big firms are shortchanging her by producing abroad and thereafter bring those goods back to the US market. Trump is saying produce in America or face extreme high tarriff. This singular policy will eventually bring economic gains to America in no distance time.

3.) 1965 DEI Revocation: DEI is just like the quota system we have in Nigeria. It's the American quota system. Trump is saying that hiring must be done purely on MERIT not by considering any race, color, religion, sex in order to reflect every community in the country. If hiring on merit means that only Asian Americans will get the job so be it. Merit must be the standard.

4.) Possible Panama Canal Take Over: America built the canal decades ago and has been partaking in it's maintainance till date. Trump is saying America has right to what becomes of it as it was built with hard earned US taxpayers money not the govt in Panama trying to bring in China thru the back door

Apart from him contemplating possible future military takeover of Greenland, sentiment aside, all other Trump actions and policies since resuming office are 💯% Correct and Right. Millions of Americans who voted for him are not complaining.

I'm not American neither I'm I living there. I envy countries that have strong, visionary and decisive leaders who are problem solvers.

paragon10:
How does one refuse to be reincarnated?

Go to YouTube and type 'Near Death Experience' (NDE). You will watch countless video of people around the world describing their own NDE. Despite the different accounts and stories told by people, what is most common in all the accounts is the individual encountering a beam of bright lights which communicate to them telepathically...that they should not be afraid that they're in the right place, some even saw dead relatives assuring them that they are in a right place. It's all a facade. Also the light comes with the feeling of joy and ecstasy.

Now, It's believed that this light is a trick to obtain their approval to return back instantly as in the case of NDE person or thru reincarnation in the case of dead and buried person.

What to do exactly is to refuse to comply or accept the voice when the light communicate telepathically to your soul because they actually need your free will for it to be possible.

Seriously speaking, as igbo myself, I'm unpertubed if ikwerre choses to be igbo or not. What's the fuss about?

What are we going to gain exactly, if ikwerre accept being igbo?

These back and forth on ikwerre matter is tiring.

Does ikwerres have gold and diamond?

Abeg make we allow them to be whatever they wants to be.

sharpwriter:
You ain't crazy.... I understand this, but I want many view points. I know about the Gnostics etc.
But, now, what is the essence of housing prisoners? And why are the prisoners prisoners (how did they become prisoners)?

Earth is a prison planet and the material world we live in is an illusion. There is one true God also known as (the source, the oneness or the source of consciousness) he doesn't demand worship or reverence.

The thing is we in the material world are not a direct creation of the true God but were made or reengineered by lesser beings or gods; the Annunaki, Demiurge or Archon etc many ancient civilization has different names for them. Just as the characters in the video games we play here on earth are not directly made by God but by humans. We are in a stimulated reality or matrix made by these lesser gods to feed on. They feed on our fears They are the gods of all religions of the world demanding worship, obidience and reverence. The true God of our consciousness has nothing to do with worship or commandments.

Earth is their farm ground where they feed on our fears to survive. When we die, we will often get forced back to this reality thru reincarnation to continue the slavery... thats why some refers to earth as the prison planet.

Ever wonder why all ancient religions in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America who never had contact with which other in the ancient past but all had animal sacrifices to their gods? Because the gods feed on the fears of those animals and even humans killed for them not on their blood.

Ever wonder why since ancient times till today nations of the world can't end wars and killings? Because the gods who stimulated this reality feed on the fears of those killed.

Why do air, land and sea animals and preys all have natural traits to feed on the weaker animals to survive? Because the gods harvest on fears both humans and animals.

The default setting on earth is pain and suffering. We enter this earth crying as babies indicating the true reality of this dimension.

Many people around the world who had near death experiences all said they saw beaming light approaching them as soon as the died. Its believed that the light purpose is to reincarnate the soul back to this prison. By refusing to going thru the light is the best way to escape this matrix so that your soul will return to the natural source.

All businesses in it all you do is to speculate are the same. Examples: stock trading, sports betting, Forex trading, binary options, crypto currencies. They are all the same, nothing different. Just a change of name.

Speculation is simply prediction.

It's stupidity to call sports betting gambling and Forex trading an investment.

Gambling means 'risking money to make more money.' Same 'risking money' that people do when trading Forex.

Forex trading is bet9ja in disguise.

Celebrity Worship is linked with low IQ.

The govt is not serious with this.

I can end kidnaping on the highway in Nigeria within 6 months. It's not rocket science.

Only that the political will is not there and the right people are not in charge.

Lordbinsmar:
Please provide a scientific proof to back your claim that black people have lower IQ on average.

In what scientific journal was it published? and who are the scientists that perform the experiment and how did they proof the hypothesis.

It's your problem if you are dealing with inferiority complex and you believe everyone Asian and European has higher IQ than you do.

As regarding scientific output, I myself published my undergraduate research in a Q1 journal in my field. And this was the same for a lot of my colleagues and even seniors before me.

It was a norm for use to publish undergraduate research in top journal.

Tell me if this is not a contribution to humanity or a proof of intellect.

A lot if guys from my set in OAU are doing well in tech some are already senior software developer in international companies, lots of guys doing phd and contributing to research.

I have never heard of any OAU graduate that went to study abroad in Europe, Asia or US that flopped or did not perform up to expectations.

You ask for it, here is it. This one was conducted by Lynn and Vanhanen.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160289610000450

I hope you will not resort to race sentiment or by shifting the goal post?

You can't claim to have higher average IQ with East Asia and Europe when you produces nothing. It's only in consumption that you will be seen. What do you produce or invent as black people if your IQ is higher ?

Read the research paper with an open mind.

Natural Selection in play.

Lordbinsmar:
Craze dey worry you.

Which stupid research you dey do.

Most of the smartest people I know in my life, met them in OAU IFE.

I studied an Erasmus mundun joint masters degree and we were 21 students from 18 countries, Africans, Europeans, Asians are all in the class.

I topped the class with highest possible grade based on Italian and Spanish grading system.

Mind you I was not even top 10 in a class of 50 students in OAU Ife.

I dusted all mathematics and mechanics courses in Europe taught by German and Danish Professors 30/30 became a normal thing, even though in OAU I do struggle to have A most of the time. All the european and Asian pipu wey you talk say dem get brain pass Africa dey always look at me as a math genius.

They don't believe me when I tell them I was not even top 10 of my class in Nigeria.

I've met some guys in OAU IFE that are just born genius.

Persin wey sabi sabi no matter the race or ethnicity.

Wait did you quote me to contribute intelligently to the discourse or are you only here to brag?

Nobody is saying that there are no African with extremely high IQ. There are individuals in Africa who's IQ are higher than some Europeans. What we are saying is that on average blacks has the lowest IQ rate in the world. Pls check the dictionary meaning of the word "Average".

Finally, if all the smartest people you know in life are all from OAU... that is in Nigeria, then can you pls list Inventions, Innovations and research carried out by you and your OUA smart folks towards the advancement of humanity to prove your intellect.

I bet you that even the device you are using right now to type all these are either made in South Korea, US or China same people I highlighted for their higher average IQ rate.

You sure say he knows the content of the budget?

NaijaCowFarm:
Asma: "I wanna go home ooo! Oooo! I cannot stay in this distraught city of Moscow".
Truly, anyone who has lived in the West cannot call Moscow home. Russia is just a "same as a third-world country with functional electricity supply". Because of the cold temperature, they cannot afford to lack electricity.

Mumu talk! She has been living in Damascus for over 2 decades ever since she got married.

Is Damascus a Western City? Is Syria not a third world shitt-hole?

The reason is purely because the husband has lost it all...her true colour is showing now.

SuperOnyi:




I'm sorry I can't relate, I'm trying to keep sentiments aside, else I would have agreed completely with him. I'm very tough on black people, believe me. It's all about the foundation upon which we stand. When you dig deeper, you'd see the problem staring at ya. Believe me, I wanted to rant about how pathetic the black race is, however logically, I'm forced to argue as I've got "black" in me.

When we solve math back in high school, we start from the beginning, and you dared give a straight answer; my teacher Mr. Alex would never buy that. And that's the same thing here, if you say that black people have the lowest IQ, break the whole thing down.

Another example: Nigeria is failed black state... sad truth. If I wanted to create another country from scratch with the same people as the inhabitants, what should I be doing if I want to avoid creating another Nigeria? Tell me? Do I start from the beginning just like Mr. Alex would advise?

It's all about foundation. Trying to push a certain range of IQ on a "race" is purely sentimental. I hate to admit this, but I have no choice. I hate to admit this, but most facts we hold on to are subjective. And by the way, this one here isn't even a fact.

If you wanna dive deeper: what makes me "black"? Besides there are black Indians too and also black Australians. It has absolutely nothing to do with the color of skin, your IQ doesn't automatically become 68 because you're "black."

I hate that I'm doing this but unfortunately it's the bitter truth. Yes, I'm totally ashamed of the "black" race and think they should be recolonized by maybe someone like me .


@Princewill1

IQ tests is designed to measure cognitive abilities like logical reasoning, mathematical skills, and it serves as indicator of an individual's potential to engage in complex problem-solving.

It is a measure of the speed of a person’s ability to solve problems


For example, an average IQ in Japan is 106 while average IQ in Gambia is 52. If you invite at least 100 poor japanese to live in Gambian village that has been facing problems of drinking water for decades with govt neglect. In the nearer future, there is greater likelihood that the water problem in that village will be solved by the poor Japanese with higher IQ.

Don't play on this topic. IQ is REAL.

Your cognitive ability to identify a problem and solve it faster is what makes a people intelligent.

In psychiatry, an IQ score of 70 and below is regarded as "Mental Retardation"... that is the individual is mentally impaired. Where as in many African and South American countries their national IQ average is not up to 70.

Little wonder in Africa and in Nigeria you see chaos everywhere and filt littering the streets. Individuals openly deficating, some killing fellow human for ritual money. Others stealing rail tracks. Residents pouring waste in the drainage during rainfall. People resorting to religion for a problem that can be solved with critical thinking and hardwork. Politicians looting public funds that their great grand children won't be needing. There is chaos and retardation everywhere which points to lower IQ in play.

Now the reason why other races have higher IQ while other human races have lower IQ is a topic for another day.

Suicideboy:
if iq is real, why's india still shit because intelligent people there as well

Every nation has intelligent individuals. Even some Nigerians have IQ higher than some Europeans. What we are talking is the IQ average of a people.

While there are some Indians with super high IQ in India and in diaspora, the national IQ average of India is 76 similar with the score of many African countries.

Suicideboy:
Asians are not bright as you think


Blame colonization

french and British destroyed Africa and beyong

if we were colonised by japanese, everywhere for soft by now


even north Korea is 1000 better than nigeria

Ethiopia was better back in the 90s and fell because of the collapse of the Soviet
Ethiopia is meant to be the giant of Africa and not nigeria


there are African countries that are not shit

japan and china were the ones that made Korea what's it today


during the 90s south Korea was shit , but good today thanks to the communist leader, park cheung and the japanese and Chinese on Korean land

I'm talking of East Asia not the whole of Asian continent. East Asians like Japan, Koreans and Chinese have the highest IQ score in world.

Colonization is the cause of poverty in Africa why then are Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia who also were colonized developed more the any African Country.

Why is Ethiopia that wasn't colonized poor today?

Zooposki:
Lol, do you know how the tests were created and how many times it was done? You could liken the test to the equivalent of asking Africans questions about european politics etc. or maybe you take a street person and start asking him questions about Shakespeare and calculus and then conclude he’s not smart.

Forget about using black people's unfounded IQ sentiments as your defence mechanism.

IQ is real.

The IQ test average I quoted was conducted by an European source but it placed East Asians ahead of Europeans, how then is it propaganda?

I recently returned from the core North after over a month stay there... I went to the rural and the urban part and interacted with the locals. I don't need any research or test to know that Northern Nigeria has a lower IQ than Southern Nigeria.

IQ is real and it's tie to development.

There is nothing wrong with the mind of black people.

I have researched on this topic before and it all boils down to IQ.

Average IQ in Sub-saharan Africa is 68, in Europe is 100 and 105 in East Asia.

East Asians like Japanese, South Koreans and Chinese are more intelligent and do well in maths than Europeans.

There is nothing wrong with us black people that's just how we are created.

While I refuse to take side in this Arab-Israeli conflict.

I have to point out that it's either Hezbollah is a clueless & dumb organization or Mossad has inflitrated the top ranks of the organization.

After the pager attack, it takes stupidity for Hezbollah to suffer walkie talkie attack the following day.

It's commonsense that after a major attack that Hezbollah top brass will convene physically for an emergency meeting and Israel will be rooting for such opportunity to strike again.

So this people are dumb to this level and they are fighting Israel? They better give up now before it's too late.

All students of history knows that this has France written all over it.

It has long been a pattern. If you chase out France from any of her French colony especially a lucrative one, then prepare for a coup d'etat or state collapse from insurgency.

Since staging a coup will most likely be difficult due to the presence of Russian troops. What's the best way of starting a new wave of insurgency in Niger other than to begin by releasing captured harden terrorists.

Niger should get ready for a long ride.

Biden knows that the odds of winning that election is seriously against him. Biden is a repackaged fraud. Many Americans have now realized this after 4 years.

Seriously Igbo people foresight needs to be studied in the university.

Igbos rejected Buhari, he ended up as a disaster.

Igbos rejected Tinubu, he turnout to be disaster.

Igbos rejected Biden and supported Trump, Biden turnout to be a disaster too.


I remember in 2020, Igbos were the only black community in the world that supported Trump and even held a rally for him. People mocked them for supporting a racist... 4years after, what is the result now?

Everybody including Black Americans that initially opposed him are now calling for his return.

Igbos has always been right.

Power problem in Nigeria is not in the generation of power. You can sit in any location in Nigeria and generate huge MW.

Problem is in the distribution and transmission. The infrastructure required is enormous couple with frequent power infrastructure theft in the country.

I think the Siemens deal that late Abaa Kyari signed in Germany was to address the power distribution infrastructure in the country.

tuzle:
This guy is bleeped, they are still piling his case for him, when they are ready they will open it. He is guilty of everything he has been accused of and he will very soon follow the part of r Kelly. The only advantage he has is that he has the secrets of many top celebrities too, so he will also take a lot of them down with him.

If he truly has compromising tapes of celebrities and some elites in the US, he is 100% safe in America. Nothing will happened him or his finances despite being evil.

Do you think corruption is only in Nigeria?. If I showed you several evidences of corruption in America, you no go fit talk again. All over the world laws are made for peasants.

That's a good point. But also know that a real man doesnt call his woman partner.

Partner is a gender-neutral term invested by toxic feminists in the West to express equity in the relationship and clueless simps are buying it.

The same goes for bridges Jetties etc

I know some lunatics will start wailing like cursed souls over my choice. They will claim Lagos as more money but they are the same foolish souls that will blame Tinubu Alpha Beta for generating the more fund tru innovative IGR drive that no state in the country as measured up to over 20 years.

Alex Oti has been in office for just a year.

While Sanwolu has governed for 5 years.

Despite the income gap btw the two states, If you're comparing 1 year of Sanwolu's 2nd term achievements with him, than Alex Oti performed better than him.
