destiny?
The said gunnmen may be the same set of kidnappers. Mysterious world. We don't know all the details yet. It may still be a remote controlled from somewhere.
Sometimes a demon is assign to cause harm. It seeks diverse ways to achieve this until it succeeds. You can only fend it off if you are spiritually stronger.

Mehn, that ex is psychologically unbalanced. Imagine, even wore a gown. She was ready to wed him there o. But the guy should have seen the signs, she must have been begging and pestering him before that day.
Once a man suspected a angered ex will scatter his wedding, he stationed his men all around the church to watch out. The plan was, if you catch sight of her, kidnap to an unknown location and hold her till wedding is over. I can't comman loose this woman wey dey like jackpot.

Food don land for Kenyans

Hmn, Umuahia woman!

The guy looking to chop his own money, after Charly boy didn't give him anything. See how he gradually decamped from pdp, bclaimed neautral, now praising buhari, next now he'll join apc. Chai! Lack of personal values is the bane of this country. Anywhere materials will come from, no matter how dirty and degrading. Tufiakwa!

This kidnapping has become a scourge in Nigeria.
Let Abba Kyara ensure the arrests the rest of the gang members. They can even cut off their hand before prosecution to ensure it'll be difficult planning and executing operations through the help of prison officers while in prison. Nigeria! Some said there is hope.

What is that devil doing, I mean the kidnapper, begging? If he's begging, launch a club into his genital. Nonsense!

SmallSimba:
Why don't you teach the children your dialect? Or Grandma is just to top up

Sure, I'm doing. My challenge is my wife is also a learner in the dialect, hers is different. It's easier when the kids are in an environment where the language flows freely.

uchefefe:
My family speaks Onitsha Dialect. I know it's not a different as something like the dialect spoken in Ebonyi, but it's difficult to figure out what someone is saying as a learner. For example, it took me a while to figure out "achoro m" means "I want" in Onitsha when it means "I don't want" in Izugbe.

@Opiletool and @bigfrancis21
This is honestly where my concern and apprehension with focusing on the language (at least now) comes from; it's future seems very bleak. Will the language still have a significant presence in the future? I can devote all my time and attention into learning the language, but who will I speak it with once the people in my parent's generation are gone? I've never met an Igbo person around my age who uses the language regularly even if they know how to speak it.

My worry is that I'll spend all my time mastering Igbo, then when I teach it to my kids it won't matter because they will live in an environment that doesn't reinforce its value. Can I be sure they'll master the language or even speak it out of the home? Can I be sure that they'll teach it to their own children or their children's children? Maybe I'm thinking too far ahead, but I'm just one Igbo person of several million. Even if 1/4th of us value the language and put effort into preserving it, that can't counterbalance the 3/4th that don't. Then I'll end up struggling to learn another language while also teaching my children that language.



Many African Americans would love to know what cultures their ancestors belonged to. There are millions of black people on the planet that had their language stripped from them, so it's sad seeing so many that still have theirs throwing them away.

Also, thank you for the bolded. It really means a lot to me



It's not just Nigerian, but unfortunately African seem to be among the worst offenders. One thing I will say that is unique to Nigerians is not speaking your language in the presence of those that understand it. I'm in a club for African students at my university. We have around 30 students with about half of them being Igbo. I've been in this club 4 years and have not heard a single word of Igbo at any gathering. Meanwhile I've heard plenty Twi, Ga, and Swahili despite groups speaking these languages being a minority.



I'd like to thank everyone for the Igbo resources and advice. I'll look into them!

'A choro m' (I want) is spoken the same way both in Onitsha and Igbo Izugbe, it's only Igbo izugbe that may say 'A choghi m', while onitsha may say "A choro m' to mean I don't want. But note that the sound of both 'A choro m' (I want) and "A chorom' (I don't want) are not the same as both 'o' are pronounced differently and that's what makes the difference. Egbe (kite), Egbe(gun) and Akwa(egg), Akwa(bed), Akwa(cry), Akwa(clothe). Knowing these is the meaning of learning a language.

I plan sending my kids when still under 4 years to live with their grandmother in the village for at least two years, or make them go spend every holiday. I don't want them to just learn the language, but my dialect. I pray to be an exception to this generation of parents who are not proud of their language, my parents did a VERY GOOD JOB.

Is this news? Just that there is undisputable evidence against them perhaps.
But wait, he borrowed 500k, and his family rallied round for 300k, but they extorted 300k from him. I smell something in this story.

Let's also be sure the guy didn't have any wrap of Indian hemp at all.

Did you say

uchefefe:
Hello!


Igbo
As an Igbo person, it makes sense for me to prioritize my language. I don't want to just sit there confused and lost during family gatherings, I also want to be able to speak to my grandparents who don't understand English well. That's really the only positives of Igbo though , even excluding the past experiences mention above, I've over all become disheartened by the idea of learning the language for a variety of reasons.

The bolded makes me doubt if you are truly an Igbo Person, or perhaps there is something you are yet to tell.

hmn

Inec please stop this joke

How time flies

which time fly? The time you've spent with the father, or the time the boy spent with his mother?
I hope you won't talk another story tomorrow.

This one you are saying

...loved by your dad, your two mums,...

, I hope your heart is clear.

Nice to hear. I'm sure Aba road will be a thoroughfare now. PH residents don suffer small.

But wait o, this Awara guy take style chop some popularity. His deputy might be luckier as he don join Wike for table, imagine how him luck just shine.

Wike has escaped a grand plan by amaechi and NA-
1. keep causing wahala, then use oga at the top to declare state of emergency, replace with a retire military officer. OR
2.keep dragging the matter till may 29, then knock wike out and replace him with an interim admin

Either 1 or 2, then apply ganduje's style and neatly take wike out.

But wike is more "crookish" and political than amaechi.

I'm imagining how wike was able to get Inec staff not to fall for amaechi, upon all military, tout, sars, cash intimidations employed by amaechi.

I'm also imagining how much amaechi splashed this period. Chai! I pity Nigerians, they are suffering and battling poverty while the politicians are using their money and them to do everything to remain in power and keep oppressing them. Tufiakwa!

heryur:
Let me see how they will crucify each other... mixture of afonja and Igbo

Plenty afonjas full PH dey hussle the oil, many of them claim pentecostal clergy, I don't know why. You hear pastor this, bishop that. I tire.

No, don't make peace. You and your father in-law will find yourselves in the same boat soon.

If Okorocha is not convicted by then

Ubenedictus:
It doesnt affect gtb as an entity, they will simply debit custom's account.

So they claim, but why tell court they'll be affected?

Are you aware of the case of illegal deductions from Innosin's accounts?

Expecting haters here

So GTB said if they pay 8B on behalf of customs they'll go bankrupt?

They denied the news entirely before, now it only affects Customs.

Does it mean only PDP and AAC participated in this erection?

jrusky:
Pls I dey vex to even see AAC getting 5335 nah who cast these votes? I said River people must bury Amaechi the way Akpabio was buried in Akwa Ibom.

River people must kill this AAC today finally and send the coffin to Buhari and Amaechi to bury it.

APC members possibly. There are some people who dislike Wike, you know.

It's like he wanted to sacrifice his manager and his friend, but their head no gree. How could he, as the driver be speeding anyhow, knowing fully well that he'll disappear if it happens. Don't tell me anything other than the demon he is serving requested for the blood of the other two men. He will kii himsef one day. I hate it when people snuff out others' lives, whether by mistake or deliberate.

Use quality organic toothpaste, like Greenleaf product, you'll be grateful I told you. It's a little bit costly though, abut 1k. You'll maintain fresh breath all day.

I've read through virtually all the comments here, and it's obvious a lot of people don't understand the difference between merger and acquisition.

When the rumour surfaced initially, I told someone that he'll know if it's merger or the other by their logo and the name of the new entity eventually. If there is an element of each, then it is a merger, but if not, then it is an acquisition.

But, perhaps because they would always want to gain customers' confidence, and perhaps ego, this always happens this way: And that's why we can predict these like this.

UBA and STB actually merged, the reason they retained STB logo, with UBA as name. There is no policy that stops a corporate entity from changing logo or brand name anytime, you just follow a process. So, UBA and STB can actually merge and their new name becomes 'Eleja', that's for the management to decide; but we all know that's not good for business.

New mergers, especially in Nigeria, still wants to retain signatures of the merged entities after merger- a lot of negotiations actually lead to such decisions.

NUB, Inland bank, First Atlantic and IMB all merged in the early/mid 2000s to form FirstInland Bank, which later re-branded to Finbank (changed both name and logo).

Please step out to the nearest Accessbank to you and see that the new logo is a fusion of old access and diamond. The diamond logo is now made of former access thin lines and logo, and I see the green diamond colour on their signage.

Las las, in every merger, there are terms and conditions. Both brand may not maintain the equity contributions in the new deal; you will actually know this from the new value of the shares from both entities. Eg, if each of access former share may be == 1.5 of the new share, while each of diamonds old share== 0.8 of the new share, then know access has an upper hand in the merger; and vice versa.

Some mergers are actually so lopsided it is a glorified acquisition.

He has been used and his being dumped like tissue paper, just as they did Okorocha, might have begun.
Those saying the seat was designated for the chairman my questions are:
1. So why did they let him sit on it initially without telling him it was the chairman's seat?
2. Why was no seat designated for Akpabio? Or was he not invited? Is he truly a tissue paper?
Anyhow you put it, he is being punished.

Is she really beautiful? Well, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Lol. After elections.

OnyeMmeri:
Oh okay. I also heard bitter kola or aku ilu is powerful against juju.

Aki ilu I hear more, but not as strong as the oil. I hope you've heard of crude oil? They say it does something close too.

Wahala dey.
You see this life eh, if you don't configure it to suit you, then others, you will be a goner.
Now, after trying to fit into the woman's life, things went bad, and off she goes.
If he had left her and looked for a woman who will manage his libido, he would have still have his life now. He'll be lucky to get a wife now, because he may not even be able to earn a living anymore.

Look, anyone who doesn't like you the way you are, so long as you've looked your best, shift your goal post and check the next bustop, trust me, you'll get many waiting to welcome you there.

OnyeMmeri:
Does the mmanu ojukwu really nullify charms?

It does. Try it. But as nature happens, some charms may be configured to not be nullified by it, that one I don't know.

stankezzy:
you said d right thing and ended up with d wrong thing , mmanu ojukwu are for easthern demons , demons are territorial , it is not what worked in d West or north will work in East or south for juju or demons , yorubas even use red oil to mix their charms while in igbo land if red oil touches a charm it becomes impotent. It is only jesus name that is universal through out d whole world , his power works every where even beyond this world

I agree they use red oil for some charms, but not this one. Try it on western/northern charm someday and see.
