Oga,who does not sin in this country ??doesn't your Bible preach that all sins are equal...
Abeg,make una carry your holier-than-thou attitude comot here

There was no where that the person I quoted stated that some sons are worse than others. He just said "Sin".
There is no nairaland rule stating that holier-than-thou individuals are not allowed to comment.

Righteousness2:
Condolences to His Family.
It is really painful to lose a loved one.
May GOD comfort His Parents and Family.


Sin disrupts Destiny.
Sin dismantles Destiny.
Sin delays Destiny
Sin dilutes Destiny.
Sin destroys Destiny.
Flee from all appearances of Evil..

I agree

“If you have any information, don’t hide behind online posts. Instead, come forward and share it with the Police.

Which information are you seeking for again? The culprit has been arrested and we all know that she killed the man basically because of money. All the excuses that the man was trying to sex her is a baseless allegation. Sadly the dead can't talk.

If she has people who conspired with her, it would be nice to have information about them.

MalcoImX:
One cannot argue since those artifacts were carbon dated. However, much is desired to convince many on how these artifacts were attributed.

The word "Igbo" has been proven by Igbo and non-Igbo historians to be not of distant origin. As this article showed, the Igbo were a union of disjointed groups, some of whom were reluctant in accepting the term, or even considered it offensive to their original identities.

My question is, if the word "Igbo" was of recent usage and was considered pejorative by some referred to as Igbo then, how could ancient arts of people who hardly called themselves by such name be called "Igbo Ukwu" and attributed to the Igbo people?

Good question. It's the white man that decided to name it Igbo-Ukwu for ease of reference as they did not know what Igboid clan or community formed those arts.
If they have involved Igbos in the naming of that artefact it would have been more accurate to call it Anambara-Ukwu not just Igbo-Ukwu

Simplyleo:
I repeat, I still don't understand why people are blaming Chidinma Ojukwu for doing what she did. 

Right from infancy, she has been made to understand that the sole purpose of living is money. Money is loved, respected and the only thing that deserves to be worshipped. She is aware Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, even Dangote the abokey are gods because they have money. Infact, they are tagged as the most intelligent. She has seen elderly ones disrespected because they don't have money.

Infact, she has witnessed cases of children waking their poor parents from sleep with kicks. 

She simply acted according to her indoctrination. 

I do not agree. So many other kids were raised in the very same cicumstance and did not turn out this way.

Very interesting

Still researching... quite interesting

If I[i]gbo-Ukwu art[/i] was carbon dated to the 9th century AD, then the Igbos of Nigeria existed in Igboland before the 1644 map was made.
I believe the Ijaw elder Opigo must have admired the Cameroonian name so much he decided it was fit to call the Igbos "Biafrans"

MalcoImX:
I think the origin of the name Biafra is settled.

Any other thing that is presumed could go either ways.

On what specifically, then, do you want something factual.

We can safely say that maps drawn between the 14th and 16th century were majorly inaccurate. I will still try to research about this Biafara Kingdom in the Cameroons though

MalcoImX:
I think the origin of the name Biafra is settled.

Any other thing that is presumed could go either ways.

The origin of the name is settled, however that does not indicate the origin of the Igbos of Nigeria. Just as we have Lagos in Portugal and Lagos in Nigeria. While Lagos in Nigeria has a lot of Portuguese influence we both know that the people of Lagos state did not originate, have no relation with the people of Lagos in Portugal, even though that was the origin of the name

So how do you marry the origin of the name Biafra to the origin of the Igbos? We cannot assume that two cities (eg Memphis in Tennessee, and Memphis in Egypt) means that there was a massive migration

MalcoImX:
What exactly is the relevance or what are you driving at with this question? Of what relevance is the population of Fulani, who are so much mixed with the Hausa, got to do with this topic?

I don't know the states where Fulani are in the majority.

If they are at all, it would be in Adamawa or Gombe.

Thanks for the link, I did a bit of digging and I am unable to find any factual map.

See below, the maps are described as presumed and projected upon a virtually unexplored canvas. If you have a link for a factual map i'd be happy to have that

I acknowledge that you did make some effort, but I would not be happy if one of my students brought me a map that was not made from actual exploration. I would not accept presumed cartography

TripleOh7:
No Igbo person has been able to tell me the meaning of the word Biafra though.


Whether Biafra was in Cameroon before or is now in southeast Nigeria, it doesn't change the fact that a people have a right to self determination.

Forcefully keeping a group in a union they don't wanna be in is a crime in and of itself.

Not sure, but that answer might lie with the Ijaws of Nigeria

Have you been reading all the narratives about the tragic incident? This one tire me ooooo

My Conspiracy Theory:

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4007789689269503&id=100001155348708

Brenda's boyfriend (Yes, Boyfriend) is related to Chidimma... in fact, her paternal uncle - Izu.
Izu and Brenda have been going out since she was employed at NNPC, and they're really in love.
Usifo is the only one standing in their way, as they planned to get married after the divorce.
Yes, Brenda and Usifo's marriage had been in tatters for some years, hence their decision to live apart.
Meanwhile, Izu have been footing the University and pocket money bills for Chidimma, since she got admission to UniLag, as his senior brother (Chidimma's father couldn't afford her welfare).

Brenda needed a good evidence of cheating in their marriage, in other to push through a quick divorce.
Izu volunteered to use Chidimma, and arrange a setup relationship between her and Usifo.
At first, Chidimma refused to go along with this plot, until he threatened to withdraw his financial support, and ensure she's sacked from UniLag.

Chidimma reluctantly agreed, and a chance meeting was arranged at a big party, in honour of one of Izu's wealthy clients in Banana Island, in January.
Usifo fell for the pretty damsel, and started dating her.

The plan was for Chidimma to lure Usifo to a set up destination, pre-wired with all sorts of monitoring and recording devices.
This will be a hardcore evidence Brenda needed to push through her divorce.
This was also why it was Chidimma that chose the meeting pad, rather than Usifo's normal arrangements.

On the faithful day, everything was set as planned, and Usifo arrived to meet Chidimma at the pad.
They ate, drank and discussed as usual.
Then Chidimma took the first round of drugs. Please note that Usifo doesn't do drugs, but allows her to smoke, as it turns her on.
After that first wrap, they made passionate love, and resumed their drinking.
Meanwhile, Chidimma started smoking more, as she was nervous.
She later passed out.

Usifo continued with his drinks, waiting for her to get up so they can have more sex.
As the waiting and drinking continued, Usifo decided to be mischievous, and started going through Chidimma's phone.
He couldn't believe the stuff he's seeing in Chidimma's phone.
There were countless number of porn movies, nude pics, and most startling, his own pics with Chidimma, in various places he can recall they've been to in Lagos.

Drunk and in a wild rage, he woke her up, and started questioning her.
She wasn't responding well, because she's still groggy from the drugs and alcohol.
Usifo now resorted to shouting and slapping her, in a fit of rage.
Chidimma staggered out of the bedroom, and into the kitchen, where she stumbled upon a kitchen knife.
She only wanted to scare him, and stop him from hitting her.

Chidimma, inadvertently stabbed him the first time... but Usifo kept on chasing her, even with more anger.
She then began to wave and stab indiscriminately, in a bid to stop him.
He unfortunately was struck fatally by one of the stabs, and slumped to his death.

On realising what just happened, Chidimma screamed aloud... and panic steps in.
She quickly called Izu, and informed him that Usifo was dead.
He calmed her down, and stepped into action.

Izu immediately called his boys that set up the place, and they quickly rushed to the scene.
They whisked Chidimma away, and dismantled all their gadgets.
Izu informed Brenda of the tragedy, and they quickly came up with a plan.

They were to take Usifo's wallet and all valuables on him.
Then Brenda provided Izu's PIN, and the guys went and withdrew cash from Usifo's Bank account, via ATMs.
The idea is to make it look like a robbery went wrong.

Current Events:
Following Chidimma's arrest at her father's house, and subsequent confession of the murder, all hell will soon break loose, and further arrests will happen before the end of the weekend.
Currently, the latest news has it that Chidimma's father and the owner and management of the AirBnB have been arrested.
Chidimma is scared, and will reveal everything soon.
Her life is also in danger...!!!

Stop sharing false news.

Awesome. However I was looking for a document that is not so blatantly described as presumed and projected
I want something factual

There is no way you will not die miserably. If your decomposing mutilated body is found rotting away in gutter is even a good death for evil witches like you. May Inene the mother protector of innocent unleash horrors upon horrors into your miserable witch life.

Bros, leave things, you are not the one who will decide how someone will die. Nobody has that knowledge, even Inene.

ashamed cos she was caught, otherwise, they were major blameless beneficiaries of his millions she withdrew from his acc, if she wasn't caught. She don dey lie. Dead men don't talk

Please lets have the link? This is so surprising? I cant believe her parents will accept the funds. Please lets have the source so we can read as well

The revelation I may make may even make Nnamdi Kanu abandon Biafra.

I'll tag you

I look forward to it. Thank you

What about our sons that marry my age mate because she is white or for green card? Are they not using the women?

MalcoImX:
You people only ask of source when things aren't going your way.

Do you have a source so others can learn?

MalcoImX:
You people only ask of source when things aren't going your way.

That's the right thing. If I know it, I would not ask for the source? If I don't know it, I ask for the source so that I can know. I'll go and do more research. Without a source how do you research?

No one knows it all. People should strive for knowledge.
I personally don't like baseless information. Go through my posts. I don't manufacture news. I dont like when IPOB supporteres manufacture news and I don't like when young boys like you manufacture news.

And you will go to Central African Republic or Cameroon where Igbos originated from

Casalindal:
I think I got married for the wrong reason, I think I was not even ready for this marriage to begin with. Well you all know my story very well, the up and down and the scandal I have had with this 2years of been married. I’m one person who is very open about my life here and as mush as some many of you are always against me showing and telling so much about my life. I have noticed that we Nigerian are always very secretive and private about things that might be eating us up, be it in our marriage, health and even career. It’s height time we bring this to the table and have this conversation because it’s long overdue.

So I might this cute, rich and loving man who I found out that he was HIV positive, yes!! I was very much open about his health has much has I have protected him I also bring everything to the table so we can also have a conversation. Did I love him at that time?? Did I go through this wedding all before he was super rich? Did I get carried away by the millions he was earning? Honestly. No wanting to sound like a broken record. I feel I was all about the security he was giving me at that time. I feel knowing the fact that I was able to access everything. Vacation trip, and the beauty of having my own family needs taken care of was all the fantasy I was living. I was all about that live and I totally forgot that: I will not go this far just to get this far.

I loved my husband and Heaven know this but there are times when after all the luxury, glamour and money. I still want more, someone I will go out with. Every other day to the gym, someone that will support me emotionally, someone that I will always have conversations with, someone who understands that I really want to be a tv girl and will support me putting everything out there. I was built for the tv live. Last year I got a slot for the BBN like I was given this and my husband had to pull me out. I don’t want this life I want more.

I remember when I met seun, and he said and I quote: you are built for camera and he asked me why have I not pursued that.

I think I have given my all in this marriage and I want a break as much has I love my husband. I WANT ME

Ok fine.
If I was your spouse's mum, I want to slap you so hard for marrying my child for the wrong reason, for being so deceitful and marrying my son for what he could give you. For making my child your tool. For bringing my grandchild into such a terrible situation. I hope Karma visits you and not your child

On the other hand, If I was your spouse's mum I will say thank you for releasing him early. A divorce after 2 years is better than a divorce after 10 years. Some people will deceive their partners even entering into golden jubilee.

Now I will advice you to go for what you want. As bad as it is, you will not be the first person who married for what you can gain. All our male children marrying old white women, are they not marrying them for the green card? And they are comfortable deceiving these women for 5-10 years Every one has a purpose and if you do not walk the path destiny has for you you will be miserable. The heart wants what it wants.

Can you insist nicely but firmly that you are going to go into TV. I think you should try the showbiz world a little before ending your marriage because of it. There are many ways to achieve your aims.
When I was younger a wanted to be an actress, but I didn't want to sleep with the producers so from my savings I shot a couple of movies then I used to bribe crew members with money to get a slot for me in their movies. Until I discovered that I didn't really like the attention from showbiz.

Can you try it that way since you both have the money? If he refuses to even help in this way then you can let him go, but make arrangements for how you will retain access to your child. I am not comfortable with you leaving a 2 year old with his/her dad. And you can't carry the baby around for different productions

For some time now Kanu has stopped his broadcast
I think its time for you to also stop your reminder threads. Except this is a ploy to constantly keep Igbo matters on front page.
I think the Igbos deserve a break - lets find some other news.

I hope you are aware that the majority of Igbos, IPOB included are very happy about the declaration of intention to form IBOM republic

Love is not mathematics.

A man reading this thread will still sponsor a lady tomorrow.

It is to open eyes, ears, nose, mouth and add prayers join when you want to choose.

Alas, many young people do not have that wisdom, they do not listen to their instincts/sixth sense, they do not pray.
I have even suggested once that before doing anything for a man/woman you are not married to speak with your parents or older people for guidance.
No, our youths do not sit down and think anymore so for my advice was just to prevent "had I known?"

When I say NO TO PREMARITAL ASSISTANCE some silly male children will not hear

Ekpeitit:
Bro,that was a very good post.
Don't be surprised if they call you Afonja, apparently, the Igbos believe that anyone that doesn't want to be in Biafra is a Yoruba.
I have been saying the same thing, for years now,the Biafra that the Igbos are looking for today will never be achieved because that's not what the Niger people are looking for.
As an Akwa Ibom I believe my people have no need to join anyone not to talk of Biafra,we have the population and the resources to create a very wealthy country by ourselves. Most of the tribes in the Niger Delta have the population and the resources to create their own country.
Nobody is interested in any alliance with the Igbos, the sooner they understand this the better for them.

I hope you are aware that the majority of Igbos, IPOB included are very happy about the declaration of intention to form IBOM republic

This is incomplete. No name?
