What's the meaning of Anwuanwu?

Undying. One that can't just die

His name is Anwuanwu but he died.
Irony!

I think I can confidently state that his Obi Big shoes won him the award.

The parents bought oversized shoes for him because he has oversized dreams.

As old as this man is, he still has a seven year old son. How many women are breeding for him?

Rubbish! They can collapse for all I care

Obadiah Mailafia's revelation comes to mind.

Shokoloko:
In addition the woman should get herself tested for HIV and other STDs each month: keeping condoms available is different from using them.

She also needs to learn to watch her back in case a side chick forgets that the affair is a business and decides to fall in love with the man and become jealous

She needs to hustle because any side chicken pregnancy will divert resources and lower the standard of living of her kids.

Thanks

Koolyarn:
If there is a f.....d up and evil world , then there should be a straight and good world.

You cant call anything bent till you have a concept of straight.

The Bible told us what created the f..d and the evil. Men wanted to be domineering rather than dominate. Mankind wanted to be God rather than worship and obey God. Man followed the serpent in quest to be like God

God has offered us a chance to the alternate world which is straight and Good. Where lions play with a child. Isaiah 11:6, But you must first accept and be like His prototype i.e Jesus who is describe as the second Adam in order to fit into this world.

God bless you for your understanding. Christianity isn't just a business relationship with God where we worship Him and He gives us our every desire whether we work for them or not. It's the aspiration to be like Christ because we believe in Him. Every other thing is jara.

What happen to boreholes? This is a good opportunity for those in water businesses.










Bampeh see this as an opportunity

Just to add to your knowledge. Digging borehole in Enugu isn't possible because of the coal deposits. The whole city buys water from Ninth Mile.

Marriage is outlandish today.

Originally, The concept and idea of marriage seems to come from a well thought out perspective of both couple helping each other 50/50 but these days, Women seems to enjoy marriage more and thus, benefits them 70% of the time and the only one thing men find solace in; after their sacrificial effort of being a man (provider) is being used to continually manipulate them and also will forbid them from having a mistress/side chick. (why hoard the pússy then, And make me do your biddings for it?)


According to Briffault law: 1(b) A woman will remain loyal to you for what you can provide, And the moment you stop providing, you are ultimately useless to her and she will never 100% commit to you — meaning, women are hypergamous in nature and it isn't their fault, they do it for their offspring/children.


My approach.

We can both come to an understanding and still live happily, a win - win for everyone.

I get you pregnant, you have my child/ren, you live alone with with the kids (don't worry, I will always provide and set up a business for you) but am taking the male kid once he turns 15 (women can't raise an alpha, they usually raise simp).


Clause to the aggrement.

She can never have sexual relation with any other man except only me, even though we live apart. The day I catch her having an affair, All payments, upkeep allowances etc will be terminated.

She will vacate my rented apartment, We split the kids for good and then, she goes her way with the other kid or she leaves all my children to me to take full custody of them all.

All well and good provided that now and in future, you will let all your sisters and daughters
1. Allow men that they're not married to get them pregnant
2. Ignore their rants when the baby daddies take away the children at the age of 15
3. Even though the men won't live with them, they mustn't have any other relationship and if they're caught, you must rejoice when they're thrown out of accommodation and left on the streets with your grandchildren.

If all these are alright by you, you can go ahead and treat someone's daughter or sister as you've written above.

uokpani:
How do you handle an adulterous wife?

People should ignore this paid post aimed at discrediting a peace loving man as Oko Ikpor whose wife was carried away by Port Harcourt life that she even had to sleep with their gateman.

The husband had to send her away for over 3 years for refusing to visit the husbands home town to appease the land.

So he just has to move on, now the former wife is broke and having realize her mistakes decides to ensure that Mr Oko Ikpor is sacked from the bank.

And one useless and hopeless hungry nairalander is paid to do the dirty job.

I just pray you that whoever made this post without hearing from both sides because of the little stipends you were given that same thing should happen to you and your family members.

Don't comment please unless you hear from the man. Women are evil �

Okpani, you seem to know the family well. They're from Afikpo in Ebonyi State, right? The names sound like Amasiri names.
The husband who's insisting on her appeasing the elders over her adultery, has he never committed adultery? Talk of double standards. Please allow the distraught woman to vent her feelings.

pocohantas:
I don’t believe your story is a real one, but I agree with you that no normal human should take loans or exhaust their savings to have a wedding. No sensible woman should endorse such expenditure either. Having that in mind, I support you.

A similar thing happened in my family and the wedding was cancelled. This was a cultural thing: Igbo wife and Yoruba groom.

The girl's family said they will host the traditional in their hometown where her uncles will receive the bride price. Her father is late so that's how to honour him.
The groom was to pay for the white wedding.

The groom's family wanted everything to be done in Lagos: hiring of magnificent hall for engagement ceremony, VIP catering etc. All the bills to be picked by the bride's family as per Yoruba style.
The groom refused to spend for his own white wedding and cancelled the wedding.

cyndylove64:
how can u have sex on 24th and 6 days later u get a positive pregnancy test result?and ovulation is 10th day after the said period.

Because ovulation doesn't definitely occur on a set day. It can occur at anytime in the woman's cycle. This is why the calendar method of family planning has a high failure rate. The woman's reproductive calendar can be disturbed and disorganized by anything that affects her emotionally. Generally, ovulation occurs later, hardly earlier ,in the cycle.

cyndylove64:
Am a lady.ask her who owns that pregnancy very well.there is no way for u to have sex on 24th and get a pregnancy test positive on 30th.even the scan shows you are not the owner of the pregnancy.she was already pregnant before you slept with her.

I think you're wrong in your calculation. That baby is probably his. By 30 December when she didn't see her period, it's counted as four weeks or one month from her last period. End of January gives another four weeks and end of February is another four weeks.

To those who are arguing that she must have passed her fertile period, ovulation , many times, comes later, not earlier.

*Injustices Of Voting But Not Being Voted For: The Hausa Plaintive Cry On Recovering Their Lost Kingdom.*

By Col. Dauda Gora (rtd)

Hausa land, history and people yearning for freedom.

Nigerians, 50 years old and above who attended Primary School in any part of what used to be Northern Nigeria, must have been taught during History lessons about the 7 Hausa States of Biram, Kano, Katsina, Daura, Gobir, Rano and Zaria as well as the 7 Banza Bakwai Kingdoms of Zamfara, Kebbi, Yauri, Gwari, Nupe, Kwararafa (Jukun) and Yoruba.


These Kingdoms were viable in virtually every aspect of human endeavour at that time. I should draw the readers attention to the meaning of the Hausa word ”Banza”. Banza, is a derogatory word which means worthless or anything that is of lower quality which clearly showed a marked distinction between the Hausa Bakwai and the Banza Bakwai Kingdoms.

There may have been the pastoral or nomadic Fulani as part of the population in these Kingdoms but not much if anything was recorded in this respect. The Fulani got a mention when migrants from the general area of the Futa Djalon foothills and the SeneGambia region in West Africa arrived Gobir not long before 1800.

Usman Dan Fodio who masqueraded as an Islamic teacher had issues with the leadership in Gobir, the reason he adduced being that a corrupt form of Islam was being practiced and he raised a band of followers that succeeded in violently overthrowing the leadership in Gobir under the guise of purifying Islam.

Instead of replacing the old leadership with indigenes of Gobir he appointed his own Fulani as the new leader and proceeded from there to wage what was erroneously called a Jihad or holy war. Wherever he put under, he appointed either his son or trusted Fulani as Emir thus silencing the Hausa who held power previously. He and his followers even conceived the dream of ditching the Quran in the Atlantic ocean meaning that their mission was to Islamize all the ethnic groups along their path up to the Atlantic Ocean.

Unluckily for them, they came face to face with the realities of gun powder along the general line of Agbede a village south of Auchi and the Kukuruku range of hills running westward. From there the jihadists advance southward was blunted as they were forced to withdraw backward. In other words, they beat a retreat.

As time went on, an advanced form of the Stockholm syndrome may have had its place as the indigenous Hausa began to see the Fulani occupiers and usurpers of their lands as friends and were content with the crumbs that fell from the Fulani dinner tables.

When Karl Marx described RELIGION as the opium of the masses we have to believe within the context of this short essay that he meant much more than the intoxicating effect of the drug. He may also have been referring to the blinding and numbing properties too, otherwise how and why did a foreign invader succeed so easily in steamrolling over all the Kingdoms in Hausa land in less than 2 years ?

It is very obvious that a local form of Fulani apartheid was at play here otherwise having taken over the Kingdoms under the guise of purifying Islam why did they usurp the political arrangement which existed prior?

In all of this the Hausa people must hold themselves to blame for having collapsed like a pack of cards and in many instances, without a single shot being fired?

Had they resisted the political coup against their leadership the story could have been different today but like sheep to the slaughter they were deceived and blindfolded into the make believe that Dan Fodio did come to purify and clean up Islam. Oh, how wrong they were and still are.

The consequences of that terrible blunder over two centuries ago is what Nigeria as a nation is still struggling to deal with.

To acquire legitimacy the Fulani came up with the coinage, Hausa-Fulani again to further blindfold the Hausa population. Everything that was good at that time went to the Fulani causing the Hausa to develop a sense of inferiority complex. Hausa women were taken and are still being forced into marriages by the invaders as the Emirate system took roots.

When eventually the British colonialists came around they found it very convenient not to undo the Emirate system as it served her mercantilist interests. This gave the Fulani the opportunity to further cement and concretize their political as well as social and economic agenda over the Hausa.

The Hausa, their culture, history and tradition began to recede into irrelevance as the invading Fulani easily foisted their own values, tradition and culture over all that remained of the Hausa Kingdoms.

It must be noted though that not all of the Hausa speaking population accepted Islam. Many rejected the faith preferring to continue with their traditional religion and culture. Those who rejected Islam were derogatorily called Maguzawa for the simple reason that they rejected Islam. These original Hausa speaking people still occupy large swaths of land in many States in the North, not limited to the old and now extinct Hausa Kingdoms.

As punishment for rejecting Islam the Hausa over the ages have been subjected to wholesale neglect and deprivation. Government policies and projects like Schools, Hospitals, Justice and Roads have been denied them. To date, the hybrid Fulani are still treating the Hausa as if they are the booty of war. Hausa young women are serialy kidnapped and forced into marriages against their will. They have no access to justice as any protestation with regard to forced marriages and land seizures are usually summarily dismissed in the courts.

The Hausa have suffered untold hardship under the terrible, rapacious and corrupt feudal system forcing many to find refuge under the comforting arms of the Christian faith. It is under this arrangement that development is beginning to filter through by way of Schools and Medical care.

Politically, care has been taken to ensuring that the Hausa can only vote but can hardly be voted for in their own land. The fate of the original Hausa speaking people of the old Hausa Kingdoms is not any different from that which the Red Indians suffered in what is now the United States of America except that in the United States steps are being taken to reach out and to rehabilitate the Red Indians.

Can similar steps be taken in today’s Nigeria for the Hausa?

Surely a Historical wrong can be righted so that the Hausa can recover their place in History. The blood letting that has been going on in Zamfara and other States in the northern fringes appears to be a continuation of the political jihad by other means. The current state of insecurity all over Nigeria but particularly in the Northern States would appear to be the last phase of the Fulani political jihad.

Whilst the hapless population in Southern Kaduna, the lower Plateau, Benue and other State were ongoing, the Presidency was not concerned but when a governor gave a quit notice to so-called Fulani herders illegally occupying a Forest Reserve in his State the Presidency was up in arms at the instance of Miyetti Allah pontificating that Fulani have the right to settle wherever they so wish within the territory of Nigeria.

Surely, the Fulani must be operating under a hybrid 1999 Constitution which is why they are flaunting themselves all over the place. The Nigeria Police is quick in arresting Sunday Igboho for being a threat to Fulani interest in Oyo State but the same Police have been so lethargic in arresting the Fulani terrorist jihadist responsible for mass murder in Zangon Kataf LGA. This is justice the Nigerian style.

Since Usman Dan Fodio’s foray into Hausaland early in the 19th Century life has never been the same for the Hausa speaking population then and even now. The social, political and economic conditions of the Hausa took a turn for the worse especially during the British colonialist enterprise and up to independence in 1960 when the Colonial masters handed Nigeria to the Fulani wholesale.

At independence, Nigeria held some beautiful promises of growth and progress but because those who inherited Nigeria after the British departure were inept in many ways, especially under Fulani hegemony the new nation very quickly became stunted.

The Fulani through the period of military dictatorship worked from below the surface to ensure that with the influence of their Emirs that the best of everything was reserved for them and their apologists. The Military either advertently or inadvertently simply became errand boys of the powerful Fulani Emirs. At every stage of State Creation the North had the preponderance of States in the so-called Federation. At the Federal level juicy appointments were reserved for Fulani people and so overtime, they have gotten to become very powerful in Nigeria while the Hausa whose lands had been taken over became onlookers.

Prompting this essay is an audio message by an extremely courageous Hausa speaking lady which has gone viral on Social Media in which she was lamenting the plight of the Hausa people even under the brutish Fulani ruling class.

That it is a woman and not a man who is taking up this fight against the injustice that is being meted to the Hausa people is simply wonderful. The lady in the audio has heaped all the blame for the plight of the Hausa on the occupying Fulani especially under the Buhari junta then and now. Usman Dan Fodio’s politically minded jihad may have gotten stunted in 1804 but clearly as current events are now evincing, the Fulani have not given up on continuing with that age long dream of completely taking over the whole territory called Nigeria. In this endeavour there appears a modern day Usman Dan Fodio in the president of the nation.

The strategy for achieving this grand objective has been throwing open our porous borders to imported Fulani jihadist terrorists from the Sahelian North of Africa many of who were mercenaries in Libya before the fall of Muammar Gaddafi. These terrorist groups simply moved into Nigeria under the guise of being pastoralists or herders and have brought with them death and destruction of lives and property.

The Nigerian State watched the unfolding events probably with amusement. Because it is an Islamist agenda being executed, no counter action was taken. That a modern State in the 21st Century can still be making a case for nomadic Fulani and open grazing is as laughable as it is shameful.

I will continue referencing the Grazing Reserve and Ruga Bill in the National Assembly as the ploy the PMB regime had wanted to deploy for a subtle yet complete takeover of the entire territory called Nigeria.

Today, Fulani either as herders or terrorists are everywhere in the territory of Nigeria, flaunting themselves and the sophisticated arms being smuggled across the borders in the North.

What if one may ask, are Fulani herders doing in the forest areas, but particularly in the Reserves of Southern and Eastern Nigeria ?
By whose authority are the Fulani forcefully occupying lands across the nation without even consulting the local communities?

The present government has on purpose turned deaf ears to the highly incendiary and combustible language of Miyetyi Allah. From all available audio and video recordings as well as press briefings, Miyetti Allah qualifies as a terrorist organization.

While there is no secret as to it’s leadership, no action has been taken by the national security architecture to have them explain some of their utterances.

Many dissatisfied parts of this beleaguered nation are in ebullition and unless a more suitable political arrangement is agreed upon and soon, Nigeria as presently constituted may be living on borrowed time.

The current leadership can choose not to learn from history by dismissing what happened in the former USSR, former Yugoslavia, Indonesia and Ethiopia at her own peril.

If the Fulani, their sponsors and apologists continue to toy with the unity of this nation, they will soon find out too late that they have committed a terrible blunder.

To God Be The Glory.
