He's Kanu's surety and Kanu jumped bail. The normal thing is to arrest him for abetting Kanu's escape. But let's hope it doesn't get to that.

No threat of arrest, because in this case he has paid the bail bond in full

MrHerrain:
Happily married with several kids , see as you dey born pikin like grasscutter and shame no even catch you. BTW what happened to your first husband.. . I know you divorced at a point what happened? Your body odour chased him away?

Lol, you see when people are losing a debate or argument, they quickly move from the topic and start to attack the person. Attacking a person is a sign of failure. You failed in your discussion, therefore the need to distract people from the failure

Cry baby. Don't worry you will live long to get to I and my husband's age. By the time you have done 15-20 years of marriage, even 2 years, someone blocking you will not be your problem.

MalcoImX:
So Igboid is misinforming us.

Equiano is not even Igbo.

Person 1 claims that Equaino is not Igbo - no proof
Person 2 submits loads of proof that Equaino is Igbo

And you choose the claim without proof - Smart choice

MrHerrain:
No wonder you're a divorced mother of one. Which man go marry person like you eh? They go run commot within 2 months.. I think you should focus more on catering for the wellbeing of your 9 year old child.

Lol, happily married with several kids. That child was 9 year old several years ago, probably your age now

MrHerrain:
I saw a random tweet on Twitter, I commented and because it didn't buy the bimbo's idea, she blocked me

This is someone I don't even know from anywhere. It was just a random tweet I saw on a thread so why you block someone who doesn't even know you from anywhere or gives a Bleep about your existence dead or alive.
Not just Twitter, you'll find her type on WhatsApp too. 9ja girls, blocking someone on social media doesn't add or removes anything, it's worse when the said person doesn't even know you. It's worst when there's nothing meaningful or gainful in your tweets or Whatsapp status.

Lmao... Young men of nowadays.
My young man actually sat down, used his data and began a thread for this

Joromi1:
Abaribe that is looking for a way to escape arrest? Funny people.

Wrong, there is no threat of arrest. Could you give us a link to the source if there is threat of arrest?

He has no need to escape anything.

Joromi1:
Since the news of MNK's arrest broke yesterday, here is a list of politicians and notable figures that have condemned it or in one way or the other put a few words in Kanu's favour:

1) Sowore

2) Deji Adeyanju (this man in particular has been busy on Twitter since yesterday criticizing the government for Kanu's arrest)

3) Fani Kayode

4) Reno Omokri

5) Aishat Yesufu

6) Professor Femi

Etc.

99.9% so far sympathising with Nnamdi Kanu is Yoruba. But not a single Igbo man, apart from his blood brother, has said anything.

The only ones that spoke are Chukwuma and Joe Igbokwe, and they were jubilating, not sympathising.

Igbo man's first problem is his fellow Igbo man.


Beg Yoruba for forgiveness.

Maiyegun as well.

On behalf of most Igbos, (we may not all agree with the IPOB approach, but he is Igbo first) we thank all these people and so many other people from various ethnicities.
I was listening to Maiyegun this morning and I was really impressed with the way a lot of people spoke.

The bible says "Death and life are in the power of the tongue". Hopefully whoever succeeds Kanu will act without exposing his/her intentions.

However it is worthy of note that the average Igbo person or IPOB person is in support of Oduduwa republic, Ibom republic etc.

The people who should beg for forgiveness are the bandits displacing and murdering farmers in the South-west. Unfortunately those ones will never change.

HERE ARE SOME IGBO WORDS IN OLAUDAH EQUIANO'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY BOOK.

Sources:
✓ THE LIFE OF OLAUDAH EQUIANO OR GUSTAVUS VASSA THE AFRICAN WRITTEN BY himself published in 1837.

It's important to note that the accounts of OLAUDAH EQUIANO'S childhood picture about the Igbo customs and manners dates back to his birth year (1745).

Here are some Igbo words in his book, if you have any please do contribute:


1. Essaka: Essaka is the anglicized form of the original Igbo word ISSEKE(a community located in Ihiala local government area, Anambra state). It seems Essaka(Isseke) was the birth place of Olaudah Equiano. Citing from page 9 of his autobiography:
"...This kingdom is divided into many provinces or districts : in one of the most remote and fertile of which, was born,
in the year 1745, situated in a charming fruitful vale, named Essaka. The[b] distance of this province from the capital of Benin[/b] and the sea coast must be very considerable..."


2. Embrenche: This is an anglicized form of the original Igbo word M[G]BURICHI(an act of facial scarification in Igboland which depicts -honour or Noble-). From his book on page 9;
"...My father was one of those elders or chiefs I have spoken of, and was styled Embrenche ; a term, as I remember, importing the highest distinction, and signifying in our language a mark of grandeur. This mark is conferred on the person entitled to it, by cutting the skin across at the top of the forehead, and drawing it down to the eye-brows : and while it is in this situation applying a warm hand, and rubbing it until it shrinks up into a thick weal across the lower part of the forehead..."



3. Eadas: This should be "Ede" in the Igbo language which means Cocoyam. From his book on page 13 and 42
"...Our vegetables are mostly plantains, eadas, yams, beans, and Indian corn...I shall therefore only observe, that in all the places where I was, the soil was exceedingly rich ; the pumpkins, eadas, plaintains, yams..."


4. Oye - Eboe: It's crystal clear that the Igbo word "Onye-Igbo/Ibo" was corrupted to "Oye-Eboe". Igbos who are from a particular district call other Igbos of other districts "Onye Igbo" if they don't know your name or your home town. And it's likely that the frequent usage of the term ONYE IGBO by Igbos made the Europeans to tag all Igbo speaking people as Igbo(NB- During the pre colonial times of the Igbos, no Igbo identified himself/herself as an Igbo person; they commonly identify themselves with the name of their districts like Isuama, Ohafia, Agbaja, Onitsha, Abor, Nri etc). From page 16;
"...These are sometimes visited by stout mahogany-colored men from the south-west of us: we call them Oye-Eboe, which term signifies red men living at a distance..."
–It is likely those mahogany stout men were Arochukwu men who dispersed in all IGBO areas for slaves–


5. Eboe- An anglicized form of "Igbo". From page 17;
"...The West India planters prefer the slaves of Benin or Eboe, to those of any other part of Guinea, for their hardiness, intelligence, integrity, and zeal..."
The Igbos during pre colonial era paid tributes to the Benin kingdom –which means they were subjects to the Oba of Benin– Being subject to the Oba of Benin, does not mean that you a BIni person, Much like the Hausas being subject to Fulani emirs does not make them Fulani, People in ancient times paid tribute sometimes so that they were allowed access to markets, in exchange for security from a more advanced army or basically as a plea not to be conquered. This does not make the Igbo people become Bini people
"...our subjection to the king of Benin was little more than nominal ; for every transaction of the government, as far as my slender observation extended, was conducted by the chief or elders of the place..." - page 9


6. Olaudah- Olaudah is no form of anglicized Igbo word. Some Igbos still bear that archaic name as Olauda or Olaudeh. OLA in the Igbo tongue means Wealth, riches etc and UDAH in the central Igbo/Isuama dialect means LOUD/CELEBRATED. I think if they (Ola+Udah meanings in Igbo) are juxtaposed with OLAUDAH'S narrative, they are related and close. From his book on page 23:
"...I was named Olaudah, which in our language signifies vicissitude, or fortunate ; also, one favored, and having a loud voice and well spoken..."

7. Ah Affoe Way Cah: It's a corruption of the Igbo words "Afor Nwoke"(pronounced Ah-for Wo Keh). Afor means a lot in Igbo - Year, Stomach, name of a market day -. Nwoke simply means man.
Page 24, "...They calculated our time, and foretold events, as their name imported, for we called them Ah-affoe way-cah, which signifies calculators or yearly men, our year being called Ah-affoe..."


8. Ah-affoe: "Afor"(meaning year in the Igbo tongue) is same with Ah-affoe. It was just corrupted! Reference same as 7.

Again stfu and answer my questions, I don't care about your screenshots. Its like you guys never employ commonsense. A slave, whose first language is not English, whose memory is blurred and distorted by time and trauma + a slave master who is doing his best to make sense of what his African slave is telling him.....

Look at the nonsense you used to back up your silly assertion: Judaism. roflmao when did you guys start calling yourselves Jews?

Again: what does Olaudah mean in Ibo? And where are "Essaka and Benin Kingdom" located in Ibo land? Also please tell me where the Anambra you quoted is located in the Benin Kingdom.

Kindly refrain from insulting people you are having a debate with. And no, I will not be baited into insulting back

When people are about to lose an argument, they quickly move from the topic of discussion and attack the person they are arguing with, in order to distract from the original topic.

Pictures are the throwback of ibadan city and Awka town. Pictures can be confirmed on google images.


Pictures of houses and neighbourhoods in ibadan 100 years ago.

That's fine. They are both beautiful in their own way

I am happy they have arrested him, at least $1 = N1, bandits will stop kidnapping and Boko Haram will stop killings.

Second screenshot is a page from inside Olaudah Equaino's book: ONLY Igbos compare their culture with Jews and Olaudah 200 years ago did just that

How you guys love to revise history is beyond me. Every 5th grader in this country knows his story, but for some weird reason —in the last 8-10yrs +— you guys have taken this weird stance of rewriting history and claiming him to be ibo without any evidence.

Anyway, you’re the same ones that think you’re the original Jews. So, no surprises here I guess.

I didn't rewrite history, I didn't claim him. What concerns me with him? Please refer to screenshot and send your counter screenshots if any, so that we all can learn.
Refrain from calling me a Jew. Kindly accord me the same level of decorum I have accorded you.

MajorLeaguePlay:
And what does Olaudah mean in Ibo? And where are "Essaka and Benin Kingdom" located in Ibo land? Also please tell me where the Anambra you quoted is located in the Benin Kingdom.

Ichi ko, Ichu ni.

Please refer to screenshots. Your questions are answered in the screenshots.
Do Benin men practice ichi scarification like Olaudah's father did? Ichi is only known to the Igbos.

Ekpeitit:
Kanu wife na ashewo.

No she is not. She is as good as you mother. Please stop insulting her. Face her husband.

MajorLeaguePlay:
Equaino wasn't even ibo. If his story is to be believed at all he was Etsako, in Present day Edo state. As is widely known, it is claimed that he's from "Essaka in the Benin Kingdom". But as usual, our brothers hijacked the story and someone claimed everything for themselves.

1. Olaudah is not a Benin name
2. Benin men do not practice Ichi scarification. If Benin men practice Ichi scarification then their origin is Igbo

Chai!! I still find it hard to believe this nyamuri flat.head albino bleaching hunchback cownu has been humbled like this!!

Just look at the pic critically!! The fraudster knows his time is up

Na to go back to his favorite watery beans after enjoying McDonald's!!

His prostitute wife will be collecting prick from fani-kayode just like how Ojukwu's wife Bianca was jumping on different dicks while her husband was bed-ridden

What a foolish person you are! Why are you calling his wife a prostitute? Has Kanu ever insulted the wife of Buhari, or Osinbajo? Even your own mother will never agree with this insult on the man's wife.

You are a young man, you just got a job in April, so that woman is not your mate. Probably close to you mom's age. Be guided

Oh my goodness, we must expose these plans to hurt the Ika people. Link please?

Oche211:
Thanks..
I really appreciate the compliment and the offer but I am ok.
We are all learning.
It's really fun. At least it kept me really busy. I had to make sure I get it solved.

Thank you and God bless

Oche211:
Done..
I have gotten it..
Pasting the workings using the two examples

For example 2..
5^2 = 5 x 5= 25
4^2 = 4 x 4 = 16
25 + 16 = 41.
20 + 21 = 41

For example 3
4^2 = 4 x 4 = 16


So the answers are
6. 64 (B)
7. 3 (D)
8. 100 (E)
9. 6 (A)
10. - 50

The answer to number 10 should be -50 and not 50.
That's the only exception.
The workings worked for all other questions.
4^2 = 4 x 4 = 16
16 + 16 = 32
4 + 28 = 32

Just square the two numbers at the side and add their squares.
The same should be equal to the addition of the two numbers up and down.

I'm stumped. You are one smart cookie.

Morningblues come and say thank you

where 6 -10?

the examples dey turn my eyes

Exactly, 6-10 is the problem, for the others I believe OP can figure them out. I have been looking at 6-10 for the past one hour

I think whoever solves 6-10 with explanations deserves something. I'll get his/her phone/data recharged.

Igboid:
Lol!
Which one is Anambra-ukwu?
That's clownish.

The artifacts was found in a town called Igbo-ukwu, were you expecting them to name it "Ogbomosho" artifacts" ?

You would need to read the full discourse and the gentleman's reference to understand my answer.
If the term "Igbo" is a relatively new term coined sometime between the 14th and 16th century and we have artefacts from the 9th century before the word "Igbo" was used, then those artefacts must have been named according to the clan that produced them.
