NaijaOlosho:Must we condemn our things all the time. The thread was just analyzing types of snipers we have in the military. The pics are just too enhance understanding. Did they tell you that those pics were taken in the real situation where the snipers are taking down there targets. Meanwhile, how many snipers have you seen in your life apart from what Hollywood want you to believe about snipers in their movies? |
Nwodosis:The question should be; Are you really serious in this relationship. Are you ready to marry this girl or do you want to hit and move on? |
No matter how wonderfully good your wife is, once she starts feeding and it got to about 6months and counting, my brother, you're in for some insults irrespective of how you've bn carrying her all the year long. Well, it's not their fault. They are not wired to feed men, just like men are not wired to sit at home taking care of babies. The first time a woman fed a man was what brought this suffering to humanity. Adam was feeding Eve all along. The first day Eve fed Adam was the same day God sent them out from the garden of Eden. |
I always insist that the greatest merit for Igbos in recent times is *not simply the advent of the internet on the surface!* _It is the social media aspect of the internet_ which now allows independent thinkers to *challenge the lies of history.* In Nigeria, our little corner of the world, *through social media presentations,* scholars are now debunking the false stories perpetuated by the Yoruba press *(with the help of the north who has always been paranoid about Igbos).* The Yorubas took advantage of their civil war take-over of the press *to rewrite the history of Nigeria as it favors them...,* and if you believe them, *"every post independence success in Nigeria was Awolowo influenced"* and every problem in Nigeria was *"instigated by Azikiwe, Ojukwu and the Igbos!"* With Buhari's ineptitude and the atrocities of Fulani herdsmen across the land, *"the truth is reluctantly coming out"* and _Igbos are gradually being vindicated!!!_ Read this masterpiece below by *Professor Tekena Tamuno.* By the way, he's not an Igbo man!�� =============== "IGBO ARE THE MAKERS OF MODERN NIGERIA" -- PROF TEKENA TAMUNO The problem with writing skewered history is that it equally misinforms its target: Kayode Esho was a great jurist, but Akunne Oputa was the "Socrates" of the Supreme court. Enahoro was a young editor, but Azikiwe made him that young editor with Osita Agwuna as his assistant, at his paper, the Southern Nigerian Defender in Ibadan, where my own father incidentally started as a rookie before shortly abandoning journalism for the stable berth of the civil service. The myth of Awolowo as building the first this and that does not match the documented economic history of the period. Between 1954 and 1964, Eastern Nigeria was described as "the fastest growing economy in the world," by the Harvard Review; faster than China, faster than Singapore, and all the so-called "Asian Tigers." Awolowo is often credited with "free education". But no one yet has pointed out any surviving school buildings of the period built by Awo. But all over the East there were quality schools built by the various communities using the Town Development Unions from 1954, and acessing the matching grants of the Eastern Nigeria Development Corporation. And this was the East with the poorest revenue resources of any of the regions. The Mbaise secondary school exists, the National High School Okigwe exists, the Ngwa High school exists, the Enyiogugu Grammar School exists, etc. These were solid schools built all over the East with matching goverment grants. But where are the buildings of the Modern schools in Western Nigeria? They do not exist. They were makeshift. The Catholic church forced the Azikiwe government from its scholarship program, but it is also on record, that the Eastern government was the only government in the world that invested 45% of its revenues in education. The East had the highest number of schools; the highest school enrollment; the broadest penetration of medical services; and the best modern road network in west Africa. Indeed if we look carefully, the only public hospitals and most of the schools still standing in the East today, at various stages of run down are the schools and hospitals built by Azikiwe/Okpara. Every division of the East had a Joint Hospital as part of the Eastern Medical services. So it is often claimed Awo built the first television station; the first sky scraper, and the first Sports stadium, the liberty stadium in Ibadan. Well, these are prestige or white elephant investments. First, the Eastern Outlook, the government paper of Eastern Nigeria was the first newspaper established by any government in Nigeria, and it was of such quality and impact that the literacy level of Easterners, and the depth of public information retailed by Outlook was without compare. This is besides the fact that Western Nigerian Broadcast Services, WNBS-TV founded in 1958 only preceded the ENBC-TV founded in 1959, by only seven months. But Outlook preceded Sketch by about 15 years. Now Azikiwe built the Onitsha Modern market, the first modern mall or trade emporium in West Africa. Onitsha was effectively Dubai before Dubai. People traveled all over Africa, from as far as the Congo and Sudan and Egypt, to come and buy and trade in Onitsha. The economic impact of this was humonguos. So, give me the vast Onitsha modern market over Cocoa House in Ibadan. Azikiwe built the first Nigerian University at Nsukka with the first School of Law, the first School of Engineering, the first Business School; the first school of journalism, and the first school of music and performance, etc. By the time its first graduates took the Nigerian civil service exams in 1963, everybody began to raise the cry of "Igbo domination" starting with Akintola and Ayo Rosiji. Give me UNN over Liberty stadium. Azikiwe began the first modern library system in West Africa. The East had a system of city libraries starting with the very modern Ziks Library in Enugu. I Literally grew up in the Umuahia Divisional Library. These libraries were built all over the East. Schools in the East were built with libraries. Moreover the Eastern Nigerian Library Board had a sysem of rural amd mobile libraries. There was nothing like it anywhere else in Nigeria: kids having library cards and able to borrow or order books from the public library. Give me the the first library over the first TV. I do not by this mean that Awolowo did not make his contributions, but the regular skewering of the facts, and angling of contemporary national narratives often makes it seem these days like the greatest contributor to the founding of Nigeria and its development is Awolowo and the Yoruba, when the actual facts speak differently. The great Ibadan historian, Tekena Tamuno, was unambiguous in stating once at NIPPS, Jos, that "the Igbos are the makers of moderm Nigeria. When they abandoned their project, Nigeria collapsed." We must remind Nigerians, particularly Igbo children, daily of these fact, to achieve what Achebe called " a balance of stories." And that also means we must read beyond the surface of things. Babarinsa's Guardian essay is angled carefully to maintain a revisionist narrative. And that is to be always challenged, however innocent it might seem. Even today, most Yoruba think that Awolowo founded the Universities of Ibadan and Lagos. No one has reminded them that it took Azikiwe's pressures for a university for Nigeria, in his meeting with Arthur Richards in 1946, that led to the cobstitution of the Eliot commision and subsequently the founding of the University College, Ibadan. This fact is even clearly conveyed in Michael Crowder's eponymous book, The Story of Nigeria. Nsukka was Azikiwe's critique of what he felt to be the conceptual limitations of Ibadan. The University of Lagos was the result of NCNC's ideological contributions to the federal policy during the ill fated coalition government with the NPC. UNILAG was an NCNC project, shepherded by Aja Wachukwu as minister for education. Even the great UNILAG in her 50th anniversary failed to mention Prof Eni Njoku as the pioneer Vice Chancellor of the university, a man that layed the solid foundation of what made Unilag is today. These facts must be made known and put as forcefully accross as possible. Again, until the lion tells his own story, the story of the hunt will belong to the hunter. |
The girl is reading your post right now. |
Guy, you're not serious at all. I was expecting to see a bloated scare as mount Everest. What about those that had serious fire burn that got their faces and other parts of their bodies disfigured? So they should go and kill themselves. If you like keep hiding yourself in ur room cos u don't want babe to see that little scar that babes enjoy romancing when someone that has it is with them in the room. They will tell u they like touching that scar. Keep hiding until poverty chase u out of the house. |
What you wear in this pic is not bad at all. What u wear is appropriate to the place you are. The issue is that there are some pictures you're not supposed to make public especially when such a pic will affect ur reputation or that of ppl around u. If you want to justify this pic, why can't you also show to the public when u are stack naked or when u are making love wt ur husband. |
Waist: |
Papadoh:Yeah... Sorry bro for the mix up. I mistook you for the OP. You have a different case from his. Peace bro. |
Papadoh:Oga, you're just contradicting urslf up and down. Check the heading of ur thread. It says that u think you are TOO SOFT for the man you are. Now you are arguing wt me that you are not soft hearted. What a contradiction. You also told us that can't kill a chicken, can't kill a goat and even wall gecko that is embarrassing u in ur room. You also said u can't even chase away birds making nest in ur house. You can't stand seeing blood. When u want to kill all these, you'll either think wat if it's you trying to cross road and Dangote truck crushed u or Boko boys captured u. With the above I told you u may find it difficult to defend ur family in face of danger that may require taking up arms or even inflicting wounds to save urself and ur family. Now, you are telling me you can fight very well and that u are not soft heart. Me, I no understand again oo. |
Chaiiiii.... This government has just destroyed this once intelligent man. Another minus for the West. |
Omojudy:Thanks my sister. May the peace of God fill your heart and your home. |
kunletexs:Thank you my brother. We should always be fair at all times. That woman is so wonderful. Her story challenged me. Read the story and you'll see the sincerity in her story. May God grant her a peaceful home. |
DexterousOne:It'll be a 50-50 loss. U.S Citizens will lose job. If they withdraw franchise from China for production and chose to produce by themselves, the product will be very costly. China will go back and produce the same product and sell at a very cheap rate. The American version of that product will be patronised be only few wealthy individuals. |
GeneralPula:So how will this affect China? |
Omojudy:My sister, you are extraordinarily strong and positive in nature. You don't easily give up even when it seems the best option is to give up. You are a great fighter. May God bless you. The man that stood by ur side is a strong man. He's God's send. For that man that abandoned u when you needed him most... Well, I don't know what to say. The worst thing that can happen to a woman is getting married to a man that does not have his own will. A man that all his directives come from his parents and siblings without stopping to check how the directives will affect his own family. Please permit me to share ur story. |
Papadoh:Running away from such scene and standing against it or saving someone from such a scene are different things. The scenario I gave earlier is when u face such a situation where u will need to inflict wound or stand face to face against someone ready to inflict wound to you and your household. It's easy to run away when your the only one involved, but what if you must stand to save your family. With this kind of soft heart, can you still stand? |
Igbosmoker:Your comparison is not fair. Abuja and Lagos should not be there if you truly want to make a fair judgement. Abuja and Lagos were developed with collective efforts of the whole States in the country. So it will not be fair to compare their developments with States that developed themselves internally. |
This is abnormal. If you can't slaughter a chicken or removed wall gecko from your house, then something is wrong with you. In the same way, you can't defend your family in face of danger. If you're walking on the road with your 6yrs old child and something happens, you'll abandon the child there and run away. |
EdozieRichard:She's so silly to make such statement. Children are gift from God. She has a nanny is not by her strength. That her baby is alive is also not by her strength too. She fail to realize that she may lose all her children in just in a twinkling of an eye (may God forbid this) and the person she mocked may bear children when she loses hers. What if the child she was using to mock the other woman becomes useless in life and God may bless the other woman with a child that may even become an international figure. She should take down that post from her page and apologize to that woman and God too. |
Shukusheka:Guy, if those parents were paying 4.5m/annum for tuition fee, then 175k/mnth shouldn't be a problem. You are talking about internet and computer. I believe the parents must have already provided laptop for each of their kids for such a school. They must have bn providing internet services to them too. Secondly, they are going to learn from the comfort of their homes. The parents are saving the pocket money that would've bn given to the children if they were to go to school. They are saved from stress of going to school and other unforeseen circumstances. So add these and see that the parents are gaining. Then for the school. You know they will still pay those teachers full salaries. They will need to invest heavily on internet with a very strong and fast coverage to be able to connect to hundreds of students at a time. This is an extra expenses for the school. The parents are protesting cos the meeting was virtual. If it was to be physical, they'll all keep calm so that they'll not be seen as bn poor. All of them would've bn forming big man with much money. Let them pay the money biko. |
tunmiluabi:I'm just lost in what else to say. You are a strong man. You've a larger heart and a flexible one too. You'll live long. You're very intelligent. I love the way u pick ur words and piece them together. May God bless your soul. |
FlordFlorez:Good, if you're fine in ur family, stop making comments that will contradict you, your family and others. |
FlordFlorez:I never attacked your family. I don't know how ppl make haste to talk and also fail to keep track of their words. You are angry cos ur family is mentioned. You fail to realize that my response was according to question u asked while quoting me. You asked me if I can mention up to 100 ppl in my community that married out of love, my own FAMILY INCLUSIVE. Go back and check ur comment. My response was, if you can ask this kind of question, it might be that u came from a broken home or a home devoid of parental love for you not to have experience love in a family. Now show me the insult in my response. Let me still tell u. No person that comes from a family where his parents love themselves so much, will ask that kind of question u asked. Take it or leave it. |
izzy4shizzy:I believe that you were not patient enough to read the whole msg before commenting. Well, there point is not purely ego induced. What they are saying is that, we have certified ppl in this country that said that they have herbal cure for this virus and our government have ignored them and now they want to spend huge sum of money to import what is available in our country. Why not support those local produces put manufacturers the same way the government of Madagascar supported their indigenous producers. Go back and read the thread again. |
solostar1:You're not making any sense pls. What kind of reasoning is this? |
FlordFlorez:May be you came from a broken home. A home devoid of parental love. Probably, a community where husbands and wives don't have regards for each other. In the family where I comes from, love is the ultimate. Same with my community. Though some ppl's love may fade but if u check back, you'll see that they started with love. |
solostar1:You doesn't sound logical and reasonable to me. No insult intended. If you're in love with someone of incompatible blood group with yours, you'll feel bad cos the marriage will not work. Then you move on and find someone else and feel in love. Let me also ask you. Will u marry such a person since she's fertile and can still give ua child/children? |
The masturbation did not kill your erection. Go and look for source of ur problem. |
FlordFlorez:So you can marry a woman u don't love so long as she will be able to bear children for u? |
rubi96:Continue... Soon you'll be the one disturbing God and Pastors even native doctors up and down asking to know what your crime is that made you to remain single. |
