shymexx: Give props where it's due - however stop overrating people... We as Nigerians need to raise the standards for those we call our icons and heroes - the standard is just appalling, at the moment...

Perhaps, that's why we have some of the most OVERRATED icons ever!!!

Take a look at the list of the REAL African heroes(those who actually fought for Africa) - isn't it shameful that there's not a single Nigerian on the list

all4naija: Whatever! Yorubas are not helpless people as you guys are trying to portray here. That is a complete fact!

4chi: ...unfortunately Achebe himself did not adhere to this cardinal principle when he was running his mouth when Awo died. Hope his ibo kinsmen appreciate his passion for them and they accord him a good burial. Shame, he could have aroused so much national euphoria but for his utterly bigoted fart of a book called "there was a country".

brosdoncome: I didn't know Freestyle from defunct Trybes Men is Oyedepo's son in-law.....happy for them though

Jonwesley: Hey, the boy looks under-aged to me. Why the rush?, abi they no fit hold body? To avoid any accidental discharge that can cause wahala I think.

zolajpower: my dear brother responsibility is what matters in a relationship, it not the "handsome or beauty" that makes a good relationship. you can"t tell me the lady has"nt come across handsome guys.But she choose to go out with the one her heart desire. Have seen hand some guys cheating on there spouse.

kc owen: There's this song i'll never forget,each time i listen 2 d song it brings fond memory,its evergreen and make me cry the song by whitney houston I WILL ALWAYS LOVE U also luther vandross dance with my father,though me & my father never had a good relationship so each time i hear d song it always makes me wish i had done things differently & dance with my father again

kenksD: Whao! they are all exceptionally good in their family (5 children, all girls). I once lived with them during my NYSC in Jos, Plateau state and I must confess that the father (Mother was late then) is a very very accomodating, Cheerful and prayerful man with a very good voice too( yes we sing hymns everyday during night prayers by 10pm). Congratulations Tinuade, congratulations daddy!

Nwogeh: The truth is dt we need a change and i believ dt opposition would give us dis change to some extent. Atleast let power change hands. I believ in APC but offcourse if de flag Oga Buhari, de wil be worst dan present cos d fact still remains dt Buhari is too unreasonabl and unacceptable to majority of Nigerians. Past dictators cant rule dis country again. We need fresh blood like Oshiomole or Fashiola then one oda serious guy from north as running mate if not GEJ will stil win whic i dont pray 4. As for Igbo president, my brethren 4get it 4now cos d calculus is yet 2favour us.

makky: Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers.... A classic that always reminds me that true love can still be gotten.

oshytayman: you are very stupid! Do you think she is your type? If that is her religious belief, what is your problem about that? After all, she decided to forgo the stupid service year instead of constituting a nuisance in the camp. I would rather send my daughter abroad for her masters instead of allowing her to waste her time in their so-called NYSC. her decision is her personal problem, more so, she was not trying to persuade others to follow her step.For you to have even disregarded her course of study means that you are like your leader Jonathan, who rather than trying to better the conditions of his people, has decided that the best he can offer Nigerians is to make insane decisions. You are a very stupid Nigerian. I try to imagine what mediocrity would have turned you into. Educated illiterate!

dammytosh: The Nigerian Government caused it. What is it with corpers putting another white blouse under their cap in the name of semi hijab. When we keep handling the same issue with different laws. it is amazing.

Check this link and see : https://www.nairaland.com/1225224/muslim-corpers-allowed-wear-hijabshud . So what makes the masquerades in that link right ? Cos of their ability to unleash terror easily I guess.

NYSC should stand their ground. NYSC dress code should be standard. No addition of any rubbish all in the name of religion. If you can not cope, collect exemption letter on Religious / Moral ground. Whatever happens to your career. Best of luck.

No religion has monopoly of violence or double standard manipulations.



I wonder why the the so called HOLY HOLY lied anyway. You fornicate, lie but wear skirt and hope to make heaven. All foolish brainwashed religious scumbags.

While the world prepare for the 21st century challenges ahead, they are busy seeing a new born baby with a cross in his palm and a meat with arabic inscriptions. Bunch or retardsss.

Mortiple: See how OKORO is suddenly becoming a NATIONAL IDENTITY. Hahaha!!! Success indeed has many relations.

I wonder if any YORUBA family would retain OKORO as a surname since some of them sometimes use the word derogatorily whenever they come in contact with anyone from Eastern Nigeria.

I opine that the family might be one of these 'efulefu' Igbos whose parents migrated to places like Okitipupa, Okeigbo, Ile-Oluji, etc where you have high concentration of Igbo people to date. Some have even turned to farmers and hunters. In the 80s, you would be surprised to know you are in Igboland if you visit my hometown during Xmas, when some of our kits and kins speak Okitipupa dialect. Some of them neither understand nor speak Igbo language anyway.

What difference does where Tinuola Okoro comes from make, by the way?

mikeapollo: My point is, we should be magnanimous and honest enough to acknowledge other people's efforts and ingenuity. Other people have acknowledged the contribution of Nigerian music.
For instance, it is very unprofessional and shameful for P Square to steal virtually all the Azonto steps/moves and then call it 'Alingo'(ruubiish) inorder to take the credit(it is like stealing someone's copyright works). It smacks of dubious tendency.

Why not be original and keep it real.....when you use or adopt someone eles' work or idea, be real to acknowledge it and give credit to who it is due.....you would also be credited and acknowledged when someone uses your own work/idea/style.....

Nigeriakan: Congrats, sister! You are a pride to the country. But how do Nigeria take hold of these bests lest some so called super power grab them from us.
And for those whose ears or skin are pinged for the name combination. I sku in Ondo and know what queer names they bear cos they are a multitribal people: Ondo is composed of all sorts of tribes, evn their Yoruba sounds out of place. Could you ever Take someone bears Ekpetuku Taiwo as a Yoruba? Those names are common there.
Nonetheless it's no ethnic achievement, it's a national honour for us all. Hurray In Love And Honesty To Grow...

ifyalways: Okoro from Ondo state
Congrats girl.

Amya: Be wise. Don't ruin your future because of one hasty, not-well-thought-out decision.

if you feel that for whatever reason, you can't go with the stipulated uniform, then stay home!

Oahray: lol. Stif-necked ignorance. Many peeps have posted on this thread about ladies wearing hijabs IN CAMP the north and even about a catholic sister wearing her blue catholic dress IN CAMP, but since you are all-knowing, you can rightly claim that NOBODY in any camp dresses differently. Nice!

deols: And u use d word wallahi like u know d meaning. V. Dumb of u to be using that word.thanks to Islam u got such a nice word to use
