ballabriggs: When I was in UNI, you see young people make a snowman in winter. You see them snow pelting in the winter. You see them fighting with water guns in the summer. At the foam parties you see them fighting with the foam on the dance floor.

These young people are not doing anything different from their mates around the world and so spare us this talk of "immaturity". They are having fun.

You just showed how ignorant you are. This your analogy is very daft. When does making a snowman in the winter or fighting with water guns in the summer equal bathing someone with urine,palm wine,oil,smelly water,ash? Sometimes, it is better to remain silent that spew thrash.

ffo: I FINISHED FROM KSU IN 2008. I THINK ITS BETTER NOW, IN THOSE DAYS, I WAS BATH WITH DIRT FROM THE REFUSE BIN (MIXED WITH WATER), CHARCOAL, ASHES, PALM WINE, PALM OIL, WATER FROM SOAKED BEANS, AND SOME OTHER SMELLING WATER THAT I DONT EVEN KNOW THE SOURCE (MAY BE URINE- ONLY GOD KNOWS) AFTER BEING FLOGGED BY MY LODGE MATES (I STILL HAVE THE VIDEO UPTILL NOW. IT WAS FUN THEN.

I dont see anything 'fun' in what you just posted. Maybe your definition of 'fun' is different from mine. Someone graduated from a school like KSU and received all these beating and treatment, what would then happen the day you will graduate from Oxford or Harvard? Maybe na shi.t water dem go take baff you.

OsunOriginal: Untill we all start being patroitic and seeing ourselves as Nigerians first, the tribal war will continue - we dont have to deceive ourselves. It is not about saying God will punish whoever opens hate thread.

We know some people dont know enough and that make them to appear unpatriotic when they make contribution. My advice is, educate yourself through research - the internet has made this possible and very easy. All the information you need is already somewhere on a web-server - just google it and be objective when researching. Dont go in with a preconceived idea otherwise, there is no point researching.

And Igbos should not come here to seek for support from Yorubas to fight other tribes (hausas, etc) - show love to all and respect other people the same way you expect them to respect you.

You see the problem with you guys? Calling Igbos instead of Igbos, and who is seeking for your support to fight Hausas?

Ife nine ga eme na Oba Anambra State na 27th Dec. Nwannem nwoke na agba nkwu nwanyi ubosi afu. Anam eme ndi nine no na mpaghara Anambra State invite na ubosi afu. Igbo ekene mu unu.

KINGwax: U go jes dey make our supposedly superior brothers dey vex say,'shey na only lagos?'
Bt d truth is, d eatern version too will b great. Instead of 'go to jail' t
E go be, 'u av jst been kidnapped'. And the 'get out of jail card' go be, 'the kidnappers demanded for N1million naira ransome'.
Within d risks' card, u go soo smtin like,'ur grandfada has been kidnapped, pay Bleep to free him'.
Under opportunities, u won't take long to pick a card dt may read thus,'u've jes been elected d gov of ur state. Wot wikk u like to do?
1. Divert public fund and flee'
2. Buy private jet
Seriously, e go dey interesting, but, e go teach wrong lessons. Shey u knw?

And you think you sound funny?

komols856: UNION BANK is the worst bank i hav ever use.their ATM CARD doesnt always especialy in d morning

So na only for afternoon their ATM cards dey work? Well, different strokes for different folks. I use UnionBanks online FX transfer and it gets to the beneficiary the same day. This is provided you supply the beneficiaries Bank account details such as Routing number, SWIFT code, and so on. I've never had any problem/delay with their online FX transfer and it can be done from the comfort of your bedroom/office.

They said industrial cities. Replace Jos,Benin,Abuja,Ibadan with Otta,Agbara,Onitsha and Nnewi.

I think it's because of the repair/replacement cost in case of a crash. My friends dad bought a second hand VW Beetle N6,000 last year.

I cant wait for this exercise to kick off. I'm gonna bid MTN farewell soon

Nigerian GSM and other telephone subscribers will be able to migrate from one network to another and still retain their telephone numbers, after a successful test run of the number portability project, which will commence next month, BusinessDay has learnt.



A consortium of three firms, appointed as operator of the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) scheme, is already finalising supervision at their back end office, and integrating with the Nigerian Communications Commission’s (NCC) data centre, where all the SIM cards are captured.

Tony Ojobo, director public affairs, NCC, confirmed the new date for the MNP commencement yesterday in an exclusive interview with BusinessDay.

Test running of the scheme, according to him, would commence in December, when all the fine-tuning of the proceeses is expected to be concluded.

“From December of this year, we are going to commence experimenting, which means that we will begin to fine-tune all of the processes, so that when we take off, we don’t have hitches. So we are dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s- checking the connection between networks, and the MNP operator, and also the connection between the MNP and the data centre, where you have all the data of the subscribers captured. The testing is going to take about a month. Then by the first quarter of 2013, the MNP regime will take off. So that is where we are, as at today,” Ojobo told BusinessDay.

MNP enables mobile telephone users to retain their numbers when changing from one mobile network operator to another. MNP is implemented in different ways across the globe. The two providers in an MNP transaction are called the ‘Recipient’ (new provider) and the ‘Donor’(old provider).

We have captured all the SIMs. What is also being finalised of course, is the cleaning, scrubbing of data to identify some of the data that may have been mismatched. This is going to take place sometime between the ending of November and December.

Ojobo, in an exclusive interview with BusinessDay, described the proposed MNP as a “power of choice” that will further deepen competition and eliminate the shoddy services that are being witnessed from the providers currently.

“The excitement we have about this is that there is competition in the market already, but we believe that MNP will further deepen the competition. As it is today, the brand loyalty is sort of supericial or forced, because the customers are forced to stick to the networks, even when they do not like them, because of the fear of losing their contacts”. He however explained that with the MNP, the customer has the power of choice.

“How the MNP works, is that in the event that a customer feels dissatisfied with his service provider, he can indicate that he wants to port his number to another network, and within a specified number of days, that is supposed to happen. Then, when he ports to another network, he has 90 days before he can finally move to another network”.




He explained that the Commission was in the know that the network providers are preparing for the imminent fierce competition, and will begin to woo their customers with all kinds of strategies, just to retain them on their networks.

“The implication is that if you are a network provider and you begin to lose customers to another network and that information is in the public domain, what happens is that it is an organisation that possibly has its’ shares quoted in the stock exchange, it can actually affect the price of their shares, to tell you how serious it is,” he further stressed.

Wale Goodluck, corporate services executive, MTN Nigeria, told Business Day: “We are aware that the scheme will go live in the first quarter of 2013. In view of this, we are prepared and looking forward to the commencement of the scheme. As I speak, all systems are ready to go. I think mobile number portability will empower the subscriber. It will drive value along customer relations, innovative product offerings. It can only be good for Nigeria’s telecoms industry.”

Osondu Nwokoro, director, regulatory and government affairs, Airtel Nigeria, told Business Day: “Airtel is ready for the scheme. The regulator has already set up a group to ensure compliance and readiness for the scheme. It is indeed a welcome development in the telecoms industry. It will drive competition in the industry because if an operator fails to provide good quality of service, a telecoms subscriber has the freedom to switch to another network. It will definitely spur all operators to provide services at an optimal level.

irich21: You're right my brother, I knw of three or more lecturers in uniport that went to India and never made it back, de last it is a young chemistry prof, dt resides at the back of chemical Igbogo Rd, Choba, dt spent millions and end up... back here in Nigeria.
I wish Mr Andrew a quick recovery and pray he doesn't check out on reachin Nigeria.

Are you talking about Prof Uzoukwu?

I see nothing wrong in wedding in the village especially during festive periods, though it depends on how remote and accessible is the village.

cyril83: This dunce must be igbo by tribe....

cyril83: I absolutely mean no harm...but its in d eastern part of nigeria we see a ma sitting @home whil d wife will be on d street hustling for daily meal

You are a real F.O.O.L, an Igbo man would sit at home and the wife will be on the street hustling? You are an ignoramus. I've heard you lots say Igbo men are over-ambitious, Igbo men are blah blah blah, yet you are here spewing rubbish about Igbo men lazying at home while the wife toils in the field. But seriously, why does anything Igbo give you folks sleepless night?

I travel home at every slight opportunity. Mine is not really a village, it's a well developed town somewhere in Anambra State. I have been there like 5 times this year!

So aeroplane na just N64m? Na im be say e no cost nah! I am off to go and get one for myself! I'm tired of the traffic on our roads these days.

Attention seeker.

Una really get time. The man is greater than all your generations put together. He is a global figure and there is nothing any of you can do about it. Keep on hating.

alj harem: so all the yorubas and other nigerians killed and eaten in abia, Ebonyi and co is not yet an indication ?

What of the 100's of Igbos and other Nigerians killed and used to appease your useless gods in Osun,Oyo,Ogun,Ondo and Ekiti? U be real ODE.

Na wao ooo, this Achebe's civil war memoir has really ruffled lotta feathers in Yoruba land.

Babaken: for the person that ask this question GOD will bless you i was in CHRIST EMBASSY few months ago in ghana after de service de said new comes should wait cuz de is some pastors to attend to us. Look at what de pastor is tell us that will must lean how to speak in tongues de were forcing us you MOST say it keep saying it, i ask myself keep saying what i don't no.

Witnessed the same thing in Christ Embassy in PH not quite long.It was my first time of worshiping with them and all the first-time worshipers were taken to a room where we were told to learn how to speak in tongues. That was when i knew that something is wrong somewhere. Na by force to speak in tongues? I think it is the gift of the Holy Spirit just like power of healing, seeing vision, dream interpretation. Na wa for some of these churches oo.

Uniport has indeed changed a lot. The present U-PEE students are all sissies. This is not the same Uniport i left in 2006. Ask Aluu,Choba,Rumuosi,Rumuchakara and Alakahia youths what they passed in the hands of U-PEE boys in the early 2000's. No villager ever dare with a U-PEE student and go scot-free.

Yomieluv: OPC is never a political group,its just like saying ur Bakassi boys is a political group.I'm disappointed with ur level of stupidity..all the money spent on ur education by ur folks is a waste.how I wished they used the money to drink beer.

I have now confirmed that you are a stupid baboon. So MASSOB is now a political group and OPC is not? This has shown that the so called free education AWO gave your parents is a waste, the money would have been used to send Tokyo (the Ibadan based NURTW thug) to school. MASSOB is to OPC as what Ohaneze is to Afenifere. Anuofia like you.

Dunno why Yoruba fools always jump into any Igbo related thread. Yes, 1000 members of MASSOB decamped to AIYO, what happens to the 2 factions of OPC (one led by Frederic Fasheun and the other by Gani Adams)? OPC is divided into 2 factions right from its early days, there have been series of clashes by the 2 factions where lives were lost, yet you 2-face hypocrites pretend as if all is well with OPC/Yoruba land.

I pity all those rickety Danfo buses with Ogun,Osun,Oyo,Ondo and Ekiti plate numbers.

By Bukola Ekujuni for the Liberty Report

The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan has taken his morbid hatred of the Yorubas to a new level as exemplified by his 52nd Independence Anniversary which saw him cutting the anniversary cake in the presence of other major tribes that constitute Nigeria except the Yoruba people. The Hausa/Fulani, Igbo, Middlebelt and of course the Ijaw, were all happily represented.

Jonathan whose election was made possible by a swing vote from the Yoruba West in 2011 has shown through his actions and deeds that he despises the Yoruba people. He started by first ensuring that the Yoruba hardly occupy any tangible position in his government in flagrant violation of the federal character principle. Most of his Yoruba ministers are in fact mere ministers of state who are at the mercy of their senior ministers.


Goodluck Jonathan did not even invite the Yorubas – NOT even a SINGLE YORUBA PERSON!

In a country where ministers barely do anything but solely loot the monies allocated to their ministries, even the Yoruba ministers are unable to join their other thieving colleagues in the task of equitable stealing from the national treasury. A case in point is the ongoing cold-war between the Minister of State of the FCT, Oloye Olajumoke Akinjide and the substantive Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed over the sharing of security vote. Bala Mohammed, report says, has been single handedly ravishing the money to the chagrin of his junior minister, a Yoruba.

JONATHAN WEARS MILITARY UNIFORM TO LOOK TOUGH
Also, Ebele Jonathan, the president of Nigeria has taken the right of the Commander in Chief to wear military uniform (legitimately, the commander-in-chief has the right and power to wear any military uniform) to a new height as he practically sleeps in one these days.

Despite the right, most presidents in advanced countries seldom wear such uniforms. Other presidents of Nigeria before Jonathan did wear the uniform but on rare occasions In the case of Jonathan, hardly does two months passed by without him donning military wear.

IRONY – MILITARY UNIFORM SHOW-OFF WHILE HIDING INSIDE ASO ROCK
The irony of Jonathan’s military dress however is that he was hiding inside the protection of Aso Rock and did not have the gut to observe the Independent Anniversary in the open. In the case of Jonathan, the definition of Irony is when a commander in chief is afraid to stand in the open but ready to don military gear in the comfort of Aso Rock.

MILITARY UNIFORM ON INDEPENDENCE DAY DISHONOURS FOUNDING FATHERS
While Jonathan can wear any clothe he desires, it is arguable that a military uniform is appropriate for the celebration of the nation’s independence day. Nigeria did not earn her independence through military confrontation or exploit. The founding fathers of Nigeria who won the independence clamour were not military men. They were civilian Jonathan should have reserved the military dress for the armed forces remembrance day.

FOR THE RECORDS
For the record, the Yoruba race wholeheartedly voted to support Jonathan when he needed the help of the race in 20122. For the record, Jonathan has continued to treat the race wrongly.

One_Naira: Uche Jumbo is from Abiriba, Abia State. She's not Ijaw or bonny.

If you do not believe Wikipedia, how about her own official website where it wrote so


http://www.uchejombotv.com/about.php?pg=1

killayut, you are a very big liar. Now, your lies have been exposed. Even Uche Jumbos personal website states that she is from Abriba Abia state, not that a give a damn where she comes from, yet you claimed she is from Bonny just because her surname is Jumbo. Now we know who is claiming who. Ijaws are just bunch of lazy fools. What else do you guys do if not drinking kai kai and fishing?

killayut: Kalabari alone is more than 1 million in Rivers State and yes KALABARI are more in Population in Port Harcourt except in the core Ikwere Villages. How many Ikwere students were in secondary schools like comprehensive, Enitona, Stella Maris, Baptist and so on in Ph ? . I attended Comprehensive and Ikweres then were almost not there so what are you saying ? The mistakes you people continue to make is the calling of Ikwere villages Port Harcourt. There are 23 LGAs in Rivers and Ikwere has just 2 main ones, Obio Akpor which is a cosmopolitan area does not have a lot Ikwere people but different other people including heavy Kalabari Population and ofcourse Igbos too, Ethce is not Ikwere but Etche and Omuma is pure Igbo, Oyigbo is also a mixture of people. There is absolutely no Other tribe but Ijaws in ASALGA, AKULGA, DELGA, BONNY, OPOBO / NKORO, OKRIKA LGA, OGU / BOLO LGA, ABUA ODUAL.. AND AHOADA WEST IS PREDOMINANTLY IJAW too. You guys end up in the PH axis and think that is all you have in Rivers state and become ignorant of Rivers stat affairs.

No, you forgot to mention Obio/Akpor,Phalga,Kelga,Emolga,Onelga,Andoni,Ahoada East,Eleme,Khana,Gokana. Infact Ijaws own the whole of Rivers state. Guy Ahoada West is predominantly Engenni, Asalga,Akulga,Delga are Kalabari. Okrika (Wakirike) and Ogu/Bolo are Okrikas. Opobo/Nkoro and Bonny are Ibani. Abua/Odua speak Abua language. There is no such language as Ijaw in Rivers state.

killayut: Igbos are always happy to claim Ijaw as Igbos and to claim Ijaw land. Lost souls.

Igbos claiming Ijaws? Guy you are high on cheap weed. Who would want to claim lazy drunk fishermen like Ijaws?
