Nooil:
This is how senseless people respond. This Sunday, I sincerely pray you to have some sense. If you like go about and be answering your backward and wicked African names like Ogundipe and all the Ogun names and be deceiving yourself it has meaning. Meaning my foot!

Maybe Nelson Mandela had an inferiority complex. Goodluck Jonathan is so inferior. Tony Elumelu has got to be the most inferior person on earth.

Chris Ngige is filled with inferiority. Andy Uba's inferiority is over the moon. In fact, Dora Akunyili must have be an inferiority complexed individual.

All because a half-brained moniker with limited knowledge thinks Nigerians with English names, have an inferiority complex.

He even said once you lose your native name you're worse than a dead person. How can you be so stupid? Like you're irritating.

Rather than commenting carelessly, try reading to get more exposure.

Ps: don't expect me to reply your mentions again. I can't even stand conversing with a person like you.

I wouldn’t know the degree of your cognitive issues that warranted calling names like Ogundipe and some African names backward and wicked. It is your problem not mine. If however you have to castigate me but at the same time harbour such thoughts about people who bear such identity then you have severe cognitive dissonance and you are an unbearable hypocrite.

I was blunt when I said that I have a bias against certain foreign names and I have no apology for that. English is not the only foreign language. I am pro-native names because I am proud of my culture. I do not have to borrow a name and identity to feel validated and accepted.

Your reading and comprehension deficits have prevented you from seeing where I specified certain double barrelled first names all foreign. Yes I am also biased to names like Endurance or someone answering ‘Government’, Chairman, Governor or Boss.
Your problem is beyond cognition and paranoia.

You didn’t have to drop the names like Chris Ngige, Andy Ubah. I also have a foreign name even though I do not use it. I didn’t give myself the name but I can correct it in raising children that are proud of their background, native names and culture.

I do not blame you for your views. You are not the only one, former Zambian international footballer’s name is Laughter Chilembe, yes he was called mr Laughter, someone from southern part of Nigeria is called Independence Favour, there is an Uche Secondus....for every one of these guys, there is an Ngozi Chimamanda Adichie ...an oasis in the midst of disastrous cultural erosion. For every Romanus Godwin or Livinus Titus Julius Emmanuel, there is an Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

These guys are living comfortably and proud of their native names and they have homes in posh neighbourhoods and mingle with the high and mighty who also learn to call and pronounce those names correctly but the the paranoid and insecure ones like you with their haphazard English language communication are moaning about African names.


Finally.....

When you lose a language and a language goes extinct, it’s like dropping a bomb on the Louvre.

—Michael Krauss

I will annoy you again....if you lose your name and language, you are worse than dead.

Nooil:
Why don't you type in your native language? It must be inferiority complex to type in English when you have your native language. Sometimes, you guys just spill gibberish.

You seem destined to be paranoid. Is your name ‘Destiny’ by any chance?

Sammy07:
But one thing I'm sure is, there are more Yorubas in The North than South East / South South.

And there are more Yorubas in South South than South East

Apart from the Yorubas living in the barracks and employed as police or military in the coal city, there are others working in various trades.
Banks especially then there are the tailors at Uwani, I know this nice man at Eze street. He must’ve been in Enugu for more than 35 years.

There are plenty others selling herbal medicines at the motor parks, there are lots of Yoruba women selling agidi and moi moi and akamu at the mill at Udi Road Asata.

There are various others selling miscellaneous stuffs at Abakpa and Gariki. These women are either wives or relatives of serving police and army men.
There are a few at main market selling animal skulls and parts at the Yoruba line(trado-medicine line) in Main market.

Iru...the godfather of odour

Throw in a small bag of crayfish beside it and dried fish and visitors will give your house and kitchen correct social distancing.

pocohantas:
Na the boyfriend go cook am?
You be alfa female o!

You should’ve called that pocohantas chicken and prawn pepper soup so people won’t be confused.

There were lots of spices there. Uda, ehuru/efuru, ginger, garlic, chilli...you need to specify the chilli type, a handful of habanero can change the taste of your food...

Btw who mixes prawn with chicken? You would’ve messed up the chicken taste. I think our chefs should write some recipe books and specify all these foods.

Chicken pepper soup is different from beef or lamb pepper soup.

henryobinna:
A bulletproof vest that is rated for 50bmg is the highest and will stop all AK rounds.

Any bulletproof material that stops a 50 at that range will stop any bullet.


Besides am an avid follower and subscriber of Edwin and his friend, alongside other more interesting gun channels.

What they're doing most times isn't real life testing, they're testing for fun. Because nobody shoots a 50 bmg at target just 20 meters away, makes no sense.

At such close range, despite not penetrating it'll be a miracle if the person survives the shot.


Moreover he should have used a ballistics jelly mannequin as others do, most of those have similar strength as the human skin, the jelly will be shredded despite no penetration.

I concur, that’s why I said that the test was inconclusive and also the vest would be a life saver.
Such rounds are huge, powerful and can travel up to 2km. You’d see them being fired from machine guns mounted on vehicles. Boko boys use it to harass Naija army from a great distance.

majamajic:
She is a very tribalistic woman , how come she arrived at this position ?

Who is her mentor? Answer that and you’ll have your clue why she reasons and act the way she does.

duncun:
The tribalistic woman will never disappoint.

Why not stick to the current narrative,

The young man is a yoruba, stop shadowing.

She doesn’t hide it. They don’t hide it. It’s the way they think. Nothing anyone can do about it.

She has to, they have to douse tension and mitigate the trending evil by roping in Igbo.

Remember Fasoranti’s daughter? Bola Ahmed Tinubu of all people attempted to distract and change narrative by shouting and directing attention to Evans.

Na dia way. Abike Dabiri doesn’t hide her’s. If only you guys know the number and caliber of Yoruba men who invited Pastor Bakare and other elders to moan about Igbos buying lands, you all will shudder.

Explorers:
There might be chance of survival if fired from around 500metre - 1km away.

If they can get a volunteer to wear the vest and take the bullet from 1km away.

That sounds silly. The test was inconclusive. He could’ve tried the test from various distances and he could also use a well made mannequin torso...the type used in radiology.

I think that vest would be a life saver with low caliber ammo and when attacked with shot guns and even some assault rifiles like AK47.
Those vest are also meant to prevent a mess when someone is exposed to serious assaults. It prevents the body parts from shattering. Saves the combat medics and paramedics the inconveniences of picking and piecing body parts together.

Osmotouch:
Please now the egg is in this condition is it still healthy to be eaten?

Are you being serious?? I can’t believe you asked this question.

That eggs and that container should be properly disposed of. You are still asking if it’s still healthy to eat

‘Eaten’ scatter you there.

IkwerrePikin:
Watch the Video Below of the Oba of Benin talking about Ikwerre people in his visit to Port harcourt.

Igbo man will die for Ikwerre unique identity tracing our ancestors to the great Benin Kingdom. You igbos in the media have deleted where he said Ikwerre people are from Benin Kingdom to hide the Ikwerre identity, we are not surprise, even in Wikipedia you igbos are changing the true history of Ikwerre people and other minor ethnic groups in the Niger delta claiming they are igbos/Biafrans. God save you people!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rb6oLOEYOI

People like me do not endorse the Ikwerres are Igbos agitation if we can call it that. Let’s also assume that you are really an Ikwerre man and according to you...Ikwerres are not Igbos despite the similarities in language and names.

Question: Why would a Rotimi Amaechi identify as an Igbo man? Do you think he is being genuine or a ploy to deceive Igbos or take advantage of that to realise his political ambitions?

If he is Igbo or really believe that he is Igbo, what are the views of other top ikwerre people about this declaration or identification? Are they in support of that?

If Amaechi is not being genuine, don’t you think that such a man can not be trusted. He is the minister of transport and the transport Uni was taken to Daura!, he is the minister of transport and South East was not included in the original rail links project.

Personally I do not have any trust in him and I think that any Igbo man that trusts him should have his head examined.

Ikwerre is Ikwerre. Igbo is Igbo. If I have the power, I’ll sanction and punish any Igbo man claiming that Ikwerres are Igbos when the sentiments over there in Ph is different. I’ll also come heavily against any individual telling me that Igbos are from Israel when the govt of Israel themselves and the Jewish nation say otherwise.

Politicians should stop taking advantage of Igbos for their own selfish goals. Any non Igbo man or woman attempting that is worse than leprosy, should not be trusted and should not be vying for any political post. Such people deserve firing squad.

I can never give my children English or non native names except their mum was English or not Igbo.

Igbo names 100%

First name: Igbo
Middle name: Igbo.

I have an English/biblical name but I don’t use it. It appears in all my documents but friends and work colleagues call me by my Igbo name. Some non Nigerians struggle with the pronunciation but it doesn’t matter.

I must confess that I’m very biased about people with names like John Martin, Stella Margaret, Peter Paul especially my catholic friends and also names like Destiny, Prosper, Victory, Endurance, Success...I think it’s inferiority complex. There must be similar native names that mean the same in English. Once you lose your native name and language, you are worse than a dead person.

Tiredagain:
All the the fights we have had over the course of the relationship was nothing serious about... He can just wake up and decide to ignore me for like weeks or months and all those times, I will be the one begging for the attention.. I decided to stop those nonsenses this year and then he started stalking me, when we made up over the phone, he agreed on catching up only for him to come up with this too..

I relayed to my best friend, he said that I should sort things out with him even if it will cost our friendship because he knows I loved the dude genuinely..

My problem now is whether to make the 1st move

You are in a bad relationship that will bring you sadness and depression. Sorry to be blunt. The signs are there already but you have chosen to ignore and let feelings blind you.

Whatever you do with his guy. Don’t ever marry and live in the same house with him. He will cause you so much sadness.

ChiefAfonja:
The only thing they can arrest are cows

They can't afford to touch a Fulani man.

We Afonjas respect and worship our slave masters the foolanis.

Pls stop trolling and stop being a nuisance online.
No live was lost during the incident. Amotekun should be praised for standing toe to toe with these evil men. Fulanis are well armed but they are also very vulnerable. All bullies are if you know their tactics, psychology and where to hit them.
Their modus operandi is always to occupy other people’s lands, wait for them to react, shoot to scare them, kill one or two persons with their weapons then cut and slice the back of their heads to send a strong message.

They can be defeated and dealt everlasting blows from Nigeria to the deserts of Mali and Guinea if the people are resolved.

Amotekun did the right thing keeping their animals. They will always come back for them after exhausting their connections with the police/army and federal government.

For that I say welldone to Amotekun and those who initiated it.

BlackfireX:
Igbos and yorubas is this not time to unite to survive??

There is fire on the mountain

As an Igbo man, I feel bad saying this, we as a people need to show resolve and commitment towards the Fulani herdsmen menace.
Yorubas are doing something and their efforts are yielding positive results.

Read where farmers were advised not to resort to self help but instead to alert appropriate authority (Amotekun). The Fulanis would always attempt to intimidate the locals. The Yorubas retreated and confronted them with Amotekun.

Similar incident in the SE resulted in the death of a man. Here the locals were frustrated because the government and police are ineffective. The man who was killed probably was the one who led the group of locals confronting the fulanis with nothing!.

Ohaneze has told Igbos to protect themselves! I can’t believe they came up with that...with what??. Fulanis are not ghosts. They might have the backing of the federal govt and the armed forces and police but any day the people/ south east governors/politicians decide to end it, it will end. What we are witnessing is a lack of willpower and lack of vision to end a deadly pathology that is threatening us.

Fulanis have their vigilante guards all over Nigeria. The south west have decided not to tolerate their rubbish and its working. Others should do the same.

Let south east politicians think and act, there are more than enough youths deadlier than them and ever willing to do the job. These youths can’t go at it individually and it’s wrong to ask people to defend themselves. That’s not right.

A man was seen on video being threatened by a Fulani boy. He not only threatened to use the police on him, he also threatened to kill him...in his own farm and backyard!! Isn’t that sacrilege?..and we are gradually accepting these anomalies as normal!!!.

The 65 year old man was killed and all Ohaneze would say was for the locals to defend themselves!
Ugwuanyi, Obiano, Umahi etc seat up and protect lives. They have killed, polluted our lands and insulted our tradition and culture and we are doing nothing except ask people to protect themselves.

Have a look closely and tell me how Peter Okoye should ignore asking his dad about this photo instead he is claiming Usher who doesn’t look anything like him.

Peter Okoye should rather question his dad about this photo below. He doesn’t resemble Usher in any way.

Ikennamurphy:
That's not the Eke man..I think this one is Anambrarian

He is not from Anambra.

Bialegend:
A grand son of a well known slave trader from a family of Biafra saboteurs for that matter, talking about black lives mater?

Are you sure about this? I heard lots of folk tales about Onyeama na Eke.

About Dilibe Onyeama, I’ve met this man at New Haven Enugu. I think he lived or is still living at Byron Onyeama close...he kept to himself, introverted. I knew he was smart but didn’t know he attended Eton.

Stevecovey:
It is based on the many teachings against pride in the bibles book of proverbs.
The universe is governed by Gods laws. This is one of the laws.

For example, ojukwu was a very prideful man dt rejected the wisdom of educated igbos elders during his biafra escapade, we saw his dramatic fall. Meanwhile gowon was a young officer who always sought advice from his elders & he was victorious.

What the elders see while sitting down, the children will not see while standing...or what the wise see sitting down, the foolish one will not see even if he climbs and views from the tallest iroko tree.

Time always tell.

Vortex369:
This, also is stupid.

Don't you have a mind of your own. Ancient quotes are ancient and longer apply.

Don't be gullible

They are not ancient. They are timeless.

Noerection:
Amotekun will seriously deal with all known terrorists be it Fulani herdsmen, IPOB, fake drugs manufacturers, baby factory etc

...this is why the Fulanis are not happy with Amotekun. You have mentioned all these without including....

Skull miners,
Pervert alphas,
Fake trado medicine dealers who ruin people’s livers and general health,
Money ritualists who behead, cut private body parts and dump the remains on the road sides,
Occultist babalawos that aid yahoo boys.

See why you’ll have issues with miyetti allah.

jlinkd78:
Igbo bu so mma. I salute Nairàland admin for eventually pushing this to Fp not just because am Igbo but cos it's really novel to see d whites wear d original Isi agu regalia that some Igbo one Nigerians like Ekweremmadu wore d adulterated one to iri ji Germany when he superimposed d coat of arm in place of d traditional isi agu.

Bro, churches are dying in the Uk. Their traditional Anglican churches do not have people attending them. You’d see a massive church with less than 30 elderly people on Sundays. That isn’t very encouraging.

The average British don’t go to church. Mainly blacks would attend the new/Nigerian Pentecostal churches like KICC, Redeemed etc.

Now, Igbos are mainly catholics. The anglicans among the Igbos are very liberal and might migrate to Redeemed, Synagogue, Winners etc.

The catholic (Igbos) are a bit conservative and hence the church you see in that photo might be doing that to encourage more people to attend .

All my friends here who were born into the Catholic Churches in Naija don’t joke with their churches. It’s a must to attend church on Sundays.

I’m anglican and I haven’t been to church in 5 years except some christenings few years ago.

It’s actually a way of saying a big Thank you to the Igbo conservative catholics.

Sirjamo:
I have said it here before, if all of us have sense in this country, we should pair Osinbajo with Zulum in 2023.

What’s so special about the two men? If Osibanjo had contested for the presidency years ago, I would’ve voted him wholeheartedly but I’m not sure anymore. I think he is too quiet to make any impact in Aso Rock. I think he is too scared of losing his ceremonial role as the VP that he will take and tolerate anything coming his way.
I think he is much more concerned with preserving himself and his position than speaking up for the common man and fighting for the average Nigerian. He might be learned with tons of certificates but I don’t think that political role suits him.

I think academic life in a Unilag, Ife, Ibadan or some of these new private unis is the best for him. I think he lacks what it takes to be a politician. I’ve always said that Buhari would be a nightmare as a president but wondered why Osibanjo couldn’t replace him but now I know that with Buhari, you have a bigot, clueless, inefficient, uneducated individual, we know that but I’m more worried about Osibanjo than I despise Buhari. Osibanjo will hide when there is trouble and emerge when the road seems clear.

Bulum might’ve done well as a civil servant and at university of maiduguri and his Borno state but Nigeria is bigger than him. He will be a disaster even as a president.

Osibanjo will be a good politician if he starts being a bit more courageous and honest. I think he lacks the two.

foolbuster:
na lie. he no fit especially not after this match. Remember he couldn't defeat wilder earlier.

...Remember AJ couldn’t defeat John Ruiz jnr earlier. Your logic is flawed sir...in fact AJ was battered by Ruiz in the first fight.

I do hope that AJ smash Fury when they meet.

Tufiakwa. God forbid.

Fineman87:
Haha, a third fight is necessary. A careful study of tonight's match by Wilder's team would suffice to prepare for rematch. The question is Why did Wilder get tired easily? Because big Fury was resting on him.

In a third fight, both party would make money but Wilder would lose again. Today’s loss is a dent on his image and would scare and haunt him for the rest of his career. Fury toughened him up...jabs at a sane distance while roughening him up, Fury would lock arms, with Wilders head under his elbow and inner right arm while Wilder would come out worse, dazed with staggering steps when the referee separates them.
It wax a masterclass from Fury. He used his strengths well. I don’t see Wilder rocking this man’s both in a third or fourth fight. Wilder was destroyed.
If Aj fights like when he started, we might have a fight. I’m not sure he still has the passion and confidence that he had before the fame, endorsements and money started coming in.

He was a different fighter when he stepped in the rings with Dillian Whyte, Klitschko, Parker and Takam of Cameroon. Watching him against Ruiz twice cast some doubts in my mind.
