Asshol3.
Idiot.
May you be as confused as this guy.

You're confused already. Your post above shows how pathetic your condition is, if you are right in your thinking you wouldn't have uttered abusive words when my post neither harm nor block your way.

I knew it.

We develop English language for the English.
In fact 90% of English words are from Igbo language.
No wonder the yoloba are jealous of us.

''Before English there was Igbo. Igbo is the lost tribe of Israel''

Igbo kwenu! I always feel like crying whenever I see teachers or parents flog their children because they were speaking Igbo language. They want their children to speak English not knowing that the English they want their children to speak was borrowed from Igbo. Do you know that there are more than a thousand words in English, French, Latin, Hebrew and other languages that were borrowed from Igbo Language. Did I just hear you say ''na lie'' ? Ok. Because of space, let me only give you 25 English words stolen from Igbo language. If you need more, you can contact me.

Hope you are now convinced that before English there was Igbo and Igbo is the lost tribe of Israel. For those who don't know, Igbo is a tribe from south eastern part of Nigeria. Read more about them here. How una see am. Igbo Kwezuo nu! Let's go

Rough and tough time is always very difficult to conquer. I was in that situation, I lived and dwelled in it before, often times I was tempted to end it myself when my entire effort came with a little or no result. Accommodation issue, school issues and family issue teamed up against me to the point that I looked not just useless but irrelevant before my family and my friends. It takes eagle's eyes to see that there will be light at the end of a tunnel. He would have trusted God because it's when life is tough and unfair that's when one should not quit. Solution may be near when it seems very far.

ayo4show:
There is no Room for any igbos in this Government. U all can go to hell and burnt to achise all I care

Ekweremadu is he from your state? Oh no! I just remembered that you reason from your anus. If you reason from your head and still talk so loose then either you or your teachers or your parents should be behind bars.

neither the president nor his vice is feeding me. That I eat daily is God or maybe my sweat, therefore, so long as the award they are giving or receiving does not block my way, wetin concern plane with kerosene?

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

You are just as useless as your ancestors.

Salut tout le monde!

mrkayusfit:
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

lol

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.

saintikechi:
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
