igbos are no longer relevant in the scheme of things in nigeria

You are just as useless as your ancestors.

Salut tout le monde!

Islam is a peaceful and tolerant religion. No matter the provocations, it remains the fastest growing religion in the world today. Allahu Akbar

Oh no! I didn't expect you to say that. Between Christian faithful and Muslim faithful who is provoking each other? Hasn't it gotten to your ears the number of callous attitudes and killings your religion has heaped on Christians yet for the sake of the Living God we never reacted.

My club na Enyimba but them no put smile on my face the day them play MFM. The money wey I spend that day just dey vex me cos I carry some friends go Agege stadium with de hope say na 3 point. Chai! I wan faint that day as mfm hit our post.

If truly the letter is anything to hold onto, then it isn't written yesterday rather over a month ago. JUNE 12 isn't JULY 17

Who goes around with such long hairs

It's possible, simply banish brooms and rakes then take her around your compound every morning, I bet you, you won't miss your brooms even for a day.

how does she sleep?

Maybe, she uses part of it as pillows

God you are all-knowing, our situation can never give you goose pimples, no, never because you know all. What I am asking as an Igbo man is, dear Lord God! In this wrecked nation, may we always pick our survival daily with or without Nigeria for if you will always stay near we will know no nigh. These I pray through Christ our Lord.

I can't really explain this. Though, I appreciate, better put, I am a fan of any woman with long and natural hair but this is rather too weird.

It took me almost an hour to comment on this topic. The "gift" should be viewed in two ways, for me, it's usefully useless considering that there are lots of things that should take precedence. Anyway, it's ok. After all, Ebonyi State is not as poor as people presumed it to be.

In the midst of this, has he (the governor) tarred Abakaliki - Abba omega road? Hmmm! That road is a trap against human life.

I saw this picture and couldn't stop pondering over its meaning. Are women truly this powerful?

Pls, those that had their university education outside Nigeria what are we to do since our original certificate has not been sent to us.

It was even last week that my transcript was sent to me. During registration, can I use the transcript to process it pending on when the main certificate will arrive?

More pictures

bonechamberlain:
I see people saying because Hausa's that are not educated can be able to read it. So what happens to Igbo's, ijaws, urhobos, Yoruba's, etc that aren't educated.
This is how Nigeria keep spoon feeding these Hausa's/Fulani's yet they show no appreciation. .

Seriously, I do not understand at all. In a country that has three major ethic groups. For me, none should be given presidential treatment in the absence of the rest.

Truly, I am disturbed. I have asked multiple questions to know why or the meaning of this/these Arabic word(s) on our currencies but disappointedly, none has provided me with a half answer let alone a whole. Frankly, I'm not trying to incite religious hatred but why would it be written in Arabic instead of English,Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa?

Let somebody help please.

Proudly Ebonyian. Against all odds, we've never taken bottom position. Vividly check those states that were created same time with Ebonyi and you will be forced to say something positive.

why are you selective in your sense of judgement?

I made a decision never to write or comment on any topic ever since Mods banned me from nairaland. What was my sin? my sin was that I tried to defend my tribe, my sin was that I could no longer bear the barbaric comments and trashes heaped on my people. I shouted in anger and at the same time launched a bitter diatribe for the forum to know that other tribes are no way near saint. If Igbos are said to be the sinners, I asked, are the Yorubas and Hausas saints? As I went further to support the agitations since it is said "that Igbo tribe is the Nigerian's nightmare", I resolved that it would be lovely to let us go so that Nigeria woud be better as they presumed. Guess what? mods kicked me outta forum for 7 days claiming that I violated one of the rules.

Why would moderators beam their searchlight on every comment or topic
made by an Igbo and form sleeping or claiming to wears sunshades when other tribes pour out their inciting comments.

Moderators, I know my lots and I am really ready to accept a one week or lifetime ban. You can go ahead and kill the messenger but have it in your mind that you can't kill the message. You guys are tribalistic and God is watching.

Hope the pictures conveyed striking messages? if the poem didn't, I'm sure the pictures will if you have a close look at them once more

PrivateInvestig:
Very poor write up, no rhyme or reason

Really? I can't believe that the poem made no meaning to you

Ambassadors of poverty are
The corrupt masters of the economy
With their head abroad
And anus at home
Patriots in reverse order
Determined merchants of loot
Who boost the economy of the colonial order
To impoverish brothers and sisters at home

Ambassadors of poverty are
The saviours of the people
Office loafers in the guise of workers
Barons of incompetence
With kleptomaniac fingers
And suckling filaments
Position occupants and enemies of service
Locked in corrosive war of corruption
With their people’s treasury
And killing their future

Ambassadors of poverty are
The dubious-sit tight patriots’
Frustrating the corporate will of their followers
The beleaguered, hungry and famished
Owners of the land
People, priced out of their conscience and power
Incapacitated by tier destitution
Unable to withstand the temptation
Of crispy mind and food aroma

Ambassadors of poverty are
The political elite
In air conditioned chambers
And exotic cars
With tearful stories of rip-off
Tucked away from
Their impoverished constituencies
Lying prostrate
With death traps for roads
Mud for water, candle for light
Underneath trees for schools
Rats for protein
Fasting as food
And alibi as governance

Ambassadors of poverty are
The rancorous elite
In battle of supremacy
For the control of power
And their peoples’ wealth
Moving down their own
With white man’s machine
Oiled by the prosperity of black patronage
Counterpoised by deprivations
As the corpses of the able bodies men
Women and children lie un-mourned
In shallow graves
In their fallow farmlands
Long abandoned

Ambassadors of poverty are
The round of trippers,
The elusive importers
Of unseen goods and services
Sand inclusive
Who trip the economy down
By tricking from B
For harvest of dollars as import
When their people see neither money nor food

Ambassadors of poverty are
The able-bodied men on the streets
Without motive, without vision, without mission
Men fit for the farms
But glued to the city
Hungry and desperate
Constituting willing tools in the hands of political overlords
For mission of vendetta
Against political foes
In their fight for power

Ambassadors of poverty are
Those whose actions and in-action
Reduce their people’s expectations to nothingness
Those whose antecedents
Have lost the spark to inspire
While their people lie in surrender
Having been defeated by poverty

Ambassadors of poverty are
All of us whose in-actions
Steal our collective job
Because of what we should do
Which we never do
As we bargain away
Our conscience in the marketplace
Under the weight of poverty
To assuage our hunger
And our master’s will.

PDP and APC are still the offspring of the same mother (Corruption). APC is no holier than PDP

Palm wine is the sweet tasty sap gotten from wounded palm trees. Anyone who has grown in Abba-omega in particular and Ebonyi State as a whole must have come across palm wine.

Palm wine is good for our health, if only we
drink pure and fresh ones, this is because
preservatives and sweeteners added
"palmy" as it is fondly called is not good for our health. When palm wine is tapped, it is fresh and
sweet but in 24 hours, it can become sharp and sour, and contain more alcohol than some of our alcoholic drinks. This is because the palm wine
undergoes fermentation.

Palm wine has benefits when consumed fresh or fermented, but the most benefits are gotten when it is consumed fresh. In Cameroon and Nigeria, the process of tapping palm wine from palm trees is called palm wine tapping. A palm wine tapper climbs the palm tree with a rope that is locally designed for that purpose.

He also climbs the palm tree with a cutlass, a knife and a gallon or calabash. When the tapper climbs the tree to the top, he will cut some palm branches to expose the tissue and use the knife to create a hole in the tree. A hollow bamboo or empty pipe is used to direct the sap into a gallon which is tied around the tree.

Another way to tap wine from palm is by cutting down the palm trees as seen in Abba-omega (Abaomege) in Onicha L.G.A, Ebonyi State

Hero10001:
That man is a saint, you know nothing bout him, you know nothing bout history..
Youre an underinformed bia nigga.
You'l never learn.

Saint indeed.

Nairalanders come and see a historian who doesn't know anything about history

That's the picture of the man who held the whole world spellbound. If you think you know him, what was his called?

GEJ again and again

Secret Trial.. PUBLIC EXECUTION


Preferred Location for EXECUTION:: Head Bridge, Onitsha, Anambra State.


Preferred Mode of Execution:: Hang him from one of the beams of the Bridge, then beat him with sticks and batons like a Pinata until he stops wriggling. Then cut him down, resuscitate him and start all over again until he dies.

Preferred Mode of Corpse Disposal:: Set his corpse on fire at Upper Iweka By-pass and make sure it burns to ashes and the ashes are mixed with poultry feed and used to feed Pigeons in Anambra State Zoo.

What you just said now is even worse than the crime Kanu committed. Remember boomerang, it will catch up with you too cos ur statement is no different from what Aldofus Hitler said

At first, it was full of help, everybody was happy and we all welcomed their gospel. They preached to us and we were convinced without much delay, we packed our baggage and followed them. Yes, they clothed us and we fed them, that's on a mutual benefit but being that they were wiser, we denied our god and kicked away our "Chi".

Africans don't do without gods, we so much reverence them, and that was exactly the reason why the missionaries' purpose found fertile lands in Africa. They came and they saw and they planted their own "god" in our midst which they decorated with irresistible aroma of benefits, truly, the whole thing was too tempting to be ignored. At least, their god is a bit more kindhearted than our "ogun", "ogundele", "ogbunigwe" or "amadioha".

Sure, the knowledge of our newly found god was quite amazing but something was wrong somewhere. We needed a reference point through which the new god would be reached. I'm sure you can't blame us for that because we were used to that pattern.

They gave us Bible but high rate of illiteracy posed a big threat, then they gave us Western Education as the only weapon to combat it (illiteracy). Everything was FREE OF CHARGE.

The Missionaries really tried to force the Western Education into our hollow skull, yes, they succeeded but not without pains, African mosquitoes dealt with them severely "maybe, as a revenge for helping us to discard our gods". They conquered and their god honoured their faith and their project came to fruition.

At that point, they gave us a staff of authority to carry on with our newly found faith. Remember, everything was free of charge, that included Western education before they left us.

Too bad that they hadn't even reached their hometown the free western education they left under our custody became polluted and ever since then it has been under a serious bastardization. The education which was offered to us on a free platform has been remoulded into "money-sucking" device.

Where are the old missionary schools? Where is the faith and where is the dignity? As the missionary schools have been turned into "pocket-drainers" leaving many people that swallowed their bait (in the name of Christian school) "koboless". This is absolutely preposterous because its negative effect is no more imperceptible. Our State and Federal Universities are now copying their nerve-wracking tuition fee as a source of extra revenue to enhance their selfish interest.

SLIDEwaxie:
of course, i read that. But communication is abt ur recipient understanding you perfctly even when you speak a bad language.

But with this picture, ure leaving a lot of options opened for conclusion.

Ok, I will modify it

SLIDEwaxie:
Ure not making sense.
