Please after reading this, do a little study on Igbo traditional society before the coming of the white man. let us start.

1. Igbos are republican in nature. it is a way of life from birth. First, what is republicanism? Wikipedia defines it as "the ideology of governing a nation as a republic with an emphasis on liberty and the civic virtue practiced by citizens. Republicanism always stands in opposition to aristocracy, oligarchy, monarchy, and dictatorship. Please note the words, LIBERTY and CIVIC VIRTUE. Compare them to aristocracy, oligarchy, monarchy and dictatorship.
2. Remember the world including the Europeans are just learning republicanism, in fact England which colonized parts of Africa first experienced partial republicanism between 1649- 1653 when General Oliver Cromwell executed the monarch, King Charles I. Down to Africa we other nations and tribes have been forever ruled by monarchs except the Igbos. the traditional rulers in Igboland today are not in actual sense monarchs. they were warrant chiefs imposed or started by the British colonial strategy of indirect rule.
3. Now what are the main characteristics of republicanism They are industry, independent mindedness, competence, positive competition, respect for family virtues, primacy of a supreme being, equality, etc. that is why you can hardly see a single man dominating others in IGBOLAND. If you see any man with substantial influence over a large group, check well, people are following his competence, industry or selfless service to his people.
4. so when next an Igbo man does not vote for another Igbo man in an election, please know that he has seen another person who is more competent and can do the job better, irrespective of the tribe or religion. Rather than vilify him, let us encourage other nations to move faster and catch up with the Igbos on the rung of republicanism. This the only way we can build a formidable nation and develop faster than imagined.

sometimes I hear people say " he chooked me with the stick" I have tried to correct them but I realized I don't have handy English word for it, so I resort to using the closest English word, which actually do not convey the intended meaning. In my native language we have a word to convey that. we cannot use stab, wound or pierce. So please what is the correct word for chook

hahahahaha

since 2020, there have been avalanche of new words or phrases in Nigeria that have defined our socio-political experience. some of these words are funny while others are dumb. I have compiled some of them and would want you to add to the list. let the fun begin:

Palliatives.
social distancing.
contact tracing.
Protocol.
Iberiberism.
Intellectually mobile.
COVID 19.

It is good, sometimes to know how you spent your time or where your time goes. for me I just decided to check up my time on NL. Guess what!! I HAVE SPENT 21 DAYS and 14 Hrs, cumulatively.

no coupon code. in fact this is the guy's whatsapp number ..09032097550

Kenlinks546:
Run, its scam

but how is he able to make it look like he bets on the matches with outstanding results.

suspected so

There is this guy that keeps sending me betting slips. He normally sends the one already placed buy yet to be played. then after the match he sends me the slip for the outcome. all the ones he sent to me won. The slips always win over a million Naira, as they are placed with 5k or above. Please is this possible or is there a way he is manipulating the slips to look like he predicted right. he wants me to subscribe. Advise please. see samples. [img][/img]

Why then do you have to pay and log in your wallet through the given link? Why not go to your walley's address directly?

Y'all falling for a scam hook, line and sinker

its upto you sha have you ever seen a promo without you dropping something

SirMichael1:


72.41 naira. Guess that's the amount of bitcoin you have.

...and BTW, it's a scam. No one gives free 2btc to a random stranger who's got nothing to do with charity.

A bit coin alone is worth millions of naira. A bit coin equals $4029.35. That multiplied by 360.50=1,452,580.68 naira.

That multiplied by 2=2,905,161.36 naira. Who tosses close to 3mil to a random person? These are hypes and the work of a... well... Not too smart scammer

You're welcome

because you do not believe it or know about it does not mean its a scam i googled it and it is legit mister pareab this might be her lucky day

Kimkardashain:
