Ndi banyi ndewo nu ooo.

yeah Ndewo, bia nom n'akuku.

There are lots of rain makers in my moms village. I don see am for my korokporo eyes.
They had to beat one rain maker and put off the fire in his kitchen because he used his powers to disrupt a wedding occasion. Immediately the the rain stopped. Hahahaha.

1st, my mom is my mom.
2ndly, my wife is my wife.
3rdly, my wife should respect herself, and yes I know she's my wife but I had probably spent more sweet and joyful years with my mom than my wife.
I dnt need their protection if it leads to quarrel and jealousy. I wonder, why to live with women in peace is so much of a problem.

lol.

Abagworo:
I am totally against anything Ika in Anioma State.Those people are too tribalistic and anti-Igbo to be included in an Igbo State.They should either remain in Delta with Urhobo,Isoko and Itsekiri or join Edo State.The Aniocha,Ndokwa and Oshimili are the true Anioma.Ika inclusion should be based on vote because some towns might be worth being in Anioma.

You got proof?

cap28:
now you hear it from the horse's mouth - this man confirms what i already knew, libya's standard of living was a zillion times better than nigeria's - the nigerian govt should be ashamed of themselves.

Ohh boy nobody's arguing that with you. We all know the standard of living surpasses Nigeria.

First I want PhysicsMFD to comment here.

I will post the reactions to this news.

I think it is better for this so called organisation,to go back and read through the history of Igbanke.Moreso i belive u guys are strengers,because i dont think a re Igbanke will think to go out of EDO NATION:While the grate Igbankes are holdding on to our grate nation.e.g Dr S.O Ogbemudia,inclusive the Egbe eze of Benin.OBA GHA TOR KPEHA;ISE

Igbankes are truely Aniomas, now is the right time for a DAVID to arise and deliver the Igbankes from the Philistine Goliath, to thier rightful home, Ika-Anioma. I left Igbanke Grammar School in late seventies, then a very beatiful city comperable to Boji Boji Agbor then but it was a true shame when i visited Igbanke in July this year with the old sweet memory of my dear IGBANKE CITY but i only met somewhat like a FARMLAND, no Drivethrough. you cannot even ride a motorbike and not even a bicycle. There is no village in IKA LAND no matter how small is as underdeveloped neglecetd as Igbanke.IGBANKE flee from your Edo slave masters and return back to your IKA-ANIOMA HOME I am not from Igbanke but i know they are my true Ika-Anioma Brothers. IGBANKE return home

IGBANKE PEOPLE: I SAY GOODMORNING TO YOU. THE DAY HAS BROKEN INDEED. DURING THE NIGERIA/BIAFRA WAR, YOU DISTANCED YOURSELVES FROM ANIOMA; CLAIMING TO BE BINIS; WITH ONE OF YOUR OWN - OGBEMUDIA, CALLING THE SHOTS THEN. TODAY, YOU REMEMBERED ANIOMA AS YOUR KITH AND KINS WITH YOUR TRADITIONAL RULERS BEING ADDRESSED AS "EZE". NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT. OBA OTOKPA'YI,

Since the day OUK declared his intention concerning this. It made me have a re-think about splitting Nigeria. Tribalism aside, if this policy is done, it is to the detriment of mainly fellow Igbos before other ethnic groups. Is this what Biafra, Oodua and Arewa will look like?? What is then the point of a split? Mind you, these are Igbos of the same ethnic stock and the same religion (Christianity), yet, they are sacking eachother simply because of state boundaries. Yorubas, remember Ife and Modakeke?? Niger-Deltaens, remember Ijaw and Itsekiri and Uhrobo, Ijaw and Ikwerrri, Ijaw and Ibibios, and more recently, Ijaws and Binis. Arewa, remember Northern Kaduna vs Southern Kaduna, Jos vs Hausas etc.

All these things are just too saddening. Should each state be a country? What do we call this move by OUK? "Stateism"? Na wa ooo!

This is just me thinking out loud.

This is getting out of hand. Cool down on all this jargons.

History is mostly true to the extent of story teller’s recollection. As I referenced in my previous post, most towns in Yoruba land as lately as 1980 were one-road town. Otta was practically a village in 1980. Even Abeokuta was all about one thorough road in and out of the city. I am not even going to mention Oshogbo, Ogbomosho, Ado Ekiti, Ile-Ife or Akure. Badagry was a fisherman village in 1980. Even my lovely Ijebu Ode town was a farmer’s village then.

As for British upland move away from mosquito infested swampy Lagos to Abeokuta, you claimed many number of reasons manifested such move including hostility of Lagosians. I am not surprised you decided to diminish the menace of little creatures. Anyway by 1861, all forms of hostility by inhabitants of Lagos had been swept under the rug by the British forces. Even King Kosoko turned tail and ran as fast as his legs could sustain and I gathered he did not run far.

Dede, what part Ijebu-Ode did you live?
I know a place called Awokoya street and Ibadan Road.

I wonder the advice she gives to her children. Na somebody don put this granny for trouble.
Too bad.

Ohhh Please stop this tribal nonsense. WTF?

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials said they busted a woman for smuggling heroin into Dulles International Airport last month. The woman allegedly swallowed the drugs.

Sixty-one year old Olanrewaju Foashade Halimat arrived at Dulles from Ethiopia on September 22nd, according to a CBP press release.

Officials said they routinely conduct random inspection operations on arriving and departing passengers, looking for drugs, weapons, and other prohibited products.

During an interview with Halimat, who is from Nigeria, CBP officers allegedly found inconsistencies in her story. They later x-rayed her and discovered “foreign objects” inside her abdomen. At that time, they filed a criminal affidavit against her. Halimat passed those objects, which turned out to be 47 pellets of heroin, officials said. They weighed about 500 grams, with a street value of $35,000.

CBP officers turned Halimat and the heroin over to the U.S. Customs and Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigation agents. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is now prosecuting Halimat.

Ingesting narcotics pellets is a high-risk proposition which can lead to almost certain overdose if it breaches inside a carrier’s intestines, CBP officials said.

CBP said the charges and allegations in criminal complaints are accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Declaration Of A Libyan Returnee ‘libya At War Better Than Nigeria At Peace!

East or west’ as the saying goes, ‘home is the best.’ However, this doesn’t seem to old water for this Nigerian who was forced home by the recent uprising in Libya.
“For my present situation and condition now, I prefer war-ravaged Libya to Nigeria. I am a welder by profession and as a welder in Libya, I was better off than being a welder in Nigeria.” These were the words of Adebayo Samuel Adesina, who was in the first batch of returnees from Libya in March this year after a six-year sojourn in the north African country.

Adesina, 41, told Daily Sun in a chat that he regretted coming back to Nigeria in the wake of the war in Libya because, according to him, despite the crisis in that country, life was by far better for him than in Nigeria where there is no war.
He said he came back to Nigeria out of fear of the war only for him to realise later that there are safer places in Libya where he could have remained to do his business or work, adding that there, both Muslims and Christians worship only on Fridays and everybody is friendly.

He further noted that he had also worked in a construction company but later picked up a job as a chief steward in a restaurant in Benghazi city where he earned 3, 500 Dinars, equivalent of N3, 500 daily, bringing his salary to N105, 000 a month.
But when he attempted to get a job in Nigeria, he was offered N6, 000 a month, insisting that it was grossly inadequate to cater for himself and his family.

Hear him: “Since I came back to Nigeria, I have not found a job to do yet. In fact, I feel like going back to Libya. I think I prefer life in Libya to Nigeria despite the crisis there. Yes! I prefer it because once I have my documents, I think there is nothing to fear. Even in a city like Sabha down south, there was not much problem there but I did not know on time; if I had known, I don’t think anything would have brought me back to this country.

“How I wish I could go back to Libya now. If I have money, I will still go back there; I prefer Libya. I prefer to go back. For my situation now, I prefer war-ravaged Libya to Nigeria. I am a welder by profession, and as a welder in Libya, I was better off than being a welder in Nigeria. Few days ago, I tried to get a welding job with a brewery company in Kaduna but I was surprised when they said they offered me N6, 000.00 per month. For God’s sake, what will I do with N6, 000.00 a month? I have a family to take care of so, what am I going to do with N6, 000.00. Paying a welder N6, 000.00, to a man, 41, married with a child?

“I am from Ogun State. I was among the first set of Nigerians that the Federal Government brought back from Libya in March this year. One of my friends that we simply call Kingsley went back to Libya recently and when I spoke with him on phone he told me that he was doing fine but when I later spoke with him another time, somebody else picked his phone and told me that the person I am calling was in prison for supporting former president Col. Gaddafi. I told the man, who picked the phone, that he was telling lies; no Nigerian is supporting Gaddafi. Probably my friend’s permit documents have expired. The people we heard, who are supporting Gaddafi are Chadians.

“The Federal Government did not give us money when we returned to Nigeria but we heard that the United Nations allocated some money to us. But other people from countries like Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Mali were given $400 by their respective governments as soon as they arrived home. But here in Nigeria, we were maltreated as soon as the officials heard that we were from Libya. Even ordinary water we did not get from Nigerian Government.”

“Apart from my friend, there are still other Nigerians in Libya who are doing well there without being molested. So why did they decide to molest and accuse my friend that just went back there recently of supporting Gaddafi. I don’t blame my friend for going back to that country because life is difficult in Nigeria, in fact, supposing I have enough money on me now, I would have gone back to Libya. I can’t just understand what is going on in Nigeria.

“I was living in Benghazi since 2005; I was working in a road construction company. I came back to Nigeria in 2008 when I was given my annual leave. I went back in 2009, and I decided to work in a restaurant, and to God be the glory, I was doing fine, until the war started. I have my resident permit. The owner of the restaurant did the resident permits for me.

“I was a chief steward in the restaurant where I was earning N105, 000.00 per month because my daily payment was 35 Dinars Libya currency. Its naira equivalent is N3, 500.00 daily. And those under me as their chief steward were being paid 25 Dinars, which is equivalent of N2, 500.00 daily. If it were in Nigeria, I would probably be earning N6, 000.00 or N16, 000.00 a month. You can see that the difference is clear between our country and Libya. I was actually better off working in a restaurant than in a construction company.

“If you are living in Libya as a foreigner, and your documents are genuine and complete, the people will accommodate you; their security is very good. As long as you are not there to do dubious things or to create problem, the people don’t have problem with you, they lead a normal life. No policeman will embarrass you.“There are churches in Libya, everybody is allowed to practise their own religion; you go to mosque as a Muslim, and you go to church as a Christian. But Christians are not allowed to worship on Sundays, only on Fridays like their Muslim counterparts. It is their law that everybody should worship God on Fridays irrespective of your religion. There is no work on Fridays; they don’t do any other things on Fridays; they go to the mosques, come back home and relax. The working days there are from Saturday to Thursday, and on Friday they rest.

“Some of us left there out of fear because the people of Benghazi were accusing the blacks that they were in support of Gaddafi, but when you flashed your documents, they would leave you alone. But those who did not have documents were the ones badly molested.“I landed at the Murtala Mohameed airport, Lagos whereas my friend landed at the Abuja airport. Others landed at the Kano airport. None of us got anything and that is so bad. This thing happened at a time many of us have spent money. And in Libya, there is no much money in January because many people have spent much money in December time, the way it happens to Christians, that is the way it happened to Muslims there.

“There is no Nigerian man that will take the risk of going to fight war in Libya because of $100. People are just saying what is not true. We only heard about some Chadians that collected 100 dollars to fight for Gaddafi. But I don’t think a Nigerian will risk his life to fight war in Libya for $100.”

The former Italy under-21 international was linked with Napoli over the summer and has been touted as a target for Juventus, and he says it would be "awesome" if the Reds want him


Torino defender Angelo Ogbonna concedes he is flattered to have been linked with a move to Liverpool.

The 23-year-old has represented Italy at under-21 level and has turned heads with some of his outstanding performances for his Serie B club.

Napoli attempted to lure the young defender to San Paolo over the summer but refused to meet Torino’s valuation of the player when they raised the asking price.

Italian newspapers have now linked Ogbonna with a move to Juventus, but it is reports that the defender could be on his way to Anfield that have excited the starlet.

"I am flattered by the interest from clubs, but I will continue to work hard for Torino in Serie B,” he told Skysports.com.

"Liverpool is a dream club. If they are interested in me, that is awesome. I love the Premier League and one day I might play in that league.

Ohhhhh PLlllssssss,  Show me other ethnic group groups that are ever united. Igbo showed how united they are during last elections. I wonder where U got the trash u talking about. Show me any ethnic group thats as united as the Igbo people. Just stfu and keep reading your books.
