What are you talking about, please??! I need to be an Igbo person to know what names my Igbo friends bear??! Does that even make sense??!

I already told you female friends of mine bear Ifeanyi... Pastor. Paul Adefarasin's wife is Ifeanyi (Google is your friend)!

I have even attended naming ceremonies of friends of Igbo extraction where a girl child was named IFEANYICHUKWU! That was when I even got to know that it means "Nothing is too hard for God"!

Since you are more Igbo than all these people, and you are also the custodian of all Igbo cultures as well as names, I leave you to your beliefs!

I am done with this joke of a matter!

The meaning is not the bone of contention here but the origin. Don't jump into what you don't know the origin.

Ifeanyi originated as a masculine name. Just that these days wokeness makes people name their female children the name. Even today Male Ifeanyi's outnumber the females 95 to 5.

I bet you if people still named their Children Nwafor or Nweke today, you will see people name their female children Nwafor but you can't find a single woman named Nwafor in the olden days. That's the origin, it originated as a masculine name.

PS: Before you argue meaning Nwafor and Nweke both means a child born on Afor day and Eke day respectively so it's not related to any gender. The gender based variants are:

Okeke: a male child born on Eke day.
Mgbeke: a female child born on Eke day.

Okafor: a Male child born on Afor day.
Mgbafor: a female child born on Afor day.

Dat a gal goes her way to answer ifeanyi doesn't make d name unisex...
Even wen a clothing is clearly masculine, it doesn't mean u can't see ladies rocking it. It doesn't make it unisex.

It's very uncommon for a woman to answer ifeanyi. Even wen it happens, it seems weird, strange, ...Esp to bonafide igbós.

Ifeanyi is a Man's name.

Tell them bro.......

Not every Niga can Withdraw at the Apex of intercourse. Some woman don't like you withdrawing when ejaculating but you must Use your head.

Come, does it mean OBO doesn't fear HIV or other STD or what's he playing?

There are drugs to prevent these things you know, just in case........

OtuologyProf:
It is borrowed culture that affected you. Those who lived in urban setting will have same mindset with you, not those that grew in the village. There's nothing 'gender' about praises. Let me show you your mindset,
Antony-male, Antonia-female
Chidi - male, chidinma- female ..
Chidinma means 'god is good', not literally 'god is beautiful', so how is Good-God feminine?
Hahahaha

You that's not affected by borrowed culture is translating Igbo names into English to get their meaning SMH.

Nevertheless we are not talking about meaning here but the gender of the name. Igbos from time immemorial always practised gender based naming just like other cultures so nothing like borrowed culture affecting me.

Why didn't they name women Nweke or Nwankwo in those days since there's nothing gender about those names? Like I said its wokeness affecting you otherwise you should know that some names are gender based according to Igbo tradition........

PS: If you give birth to a son, name him Chidinma or Chioma you hear Lols. I bet you he is going to change it or use his second name when his mates tease the hell out of him. Even now women who bear Chidinma outnumber men 90 to 10.

OtuologyProf:
No talk wetin u no know. Feminine and masculine names in Igbo land are exclusive to originality and not to 'praise-like' names like chidinma, chinedu, chidalu etc. These praise like names are given according to circumstances surrounding birth of the child or condition of mother/family during delivery and has nothing to do with sex.
Gender names are tied to originality like Ada, olu, nna, nne, obi, eze etc

I'm saying what I know. It's wokeness that makes parents name their children anything they like these days. In the olden days males and females have distinct names.

And we all know the masculine and feminine names in Igboland so let's stop pretending like we don't know even if some people don't want to distinguish between the two these days.

That some men answer Chidinma doesn't make it Unisex......

op there is section that says 25% in 24 state and that same constitution says candidate with majority of votes scored shall be declare winner.so anyone INEC apply it is constitutional. Remember BUHARI didn't get 25% in 24 state but INEC apply the other section to declare him winner 2015 and with is constitutional.

Majority vote is one condition, 25% in 24 states and the FCT is another.

Buhari achieved both in both the elections he won. If there us any one he didn't achieve both, kindly show me.....

1. If you say someone is required to give something to Mister A and Mr B, it means that you should give the same thing you gave Mr A to Mr B. So the 25% Applies to the FCT.

2. If you try to look at it the other way that the phrase "24 states and the FCT" is a just way of referring to the federation (which is just another way of saying 25% in 24 states of the federation) then you are wrong because we actually have 36 states and the FCT and that is the right way of referring to Nigeria not 24 states and the FCT.

3. If the people that put that clause there didn't mean that FCT should be included, then they should have Simply said 25% in 24 States of the federation. Then it'll be clear that Abuja is not included and everyone will rest.

4. Lastly If the Law had stated that the winner must have 25% in 24 states of the 36 states and the FCT, then it's quite clear that Abuja is not included.

Peace.✌✌

You know it's lack of understanding of English language that is the problem of some Nigerians.

APC and Tinubu urchins not doing so well in the North...

Lols this is middle belt they can get something in the core north

Election results Presidential
FWI GUT 032 DU 02 JOS SOUTH 06
Labour -------- 83

APC ------------ 2

PDP------------- 5

Accord --------- 1

Invalid --------- 7

Lols for them to even give Obi second in the poll shows that they know he is their main threat.

He might have won the poll sef but the pollsters just have to work for their money and give the agbado master false hope......

yarimo:

Mumu you didn't even understand what the pastor was saying there yet you are posting the picture.

He was actually praising Peter for opening our eyes to the atrocities going on in the country which to him is better than 2 billion. Olodo

Rastafryrice:
I know of a certain moderator that can do this
but I will not mention the tinubu's supporters name

You dey fear to mention Mynd44? The guy na agbado Mod naa........

North Central: Plateau

Me and my friends and family

OBI ! OBI !! and OBI !!!

Yes Obi has losed, any other thing inside that your agbado brain?

Nawa o, people that will steal campaign pictures, is it money they won't steal?

APC Is a party of criminals.......

SHIVA001:
Obi is too good to Rule Nigeria, he will be controlled like Jonathan and people will rain insult and curses on him. Tinubu can control Nigeria well because he is blunt. And a no nonsense person, although Age is telling on him. Spit truth.

You don't know who Obi is........ go and ask about him.......

NigeriaIsgreat come and drop your account details as usual. Your lord and personal saviour has started his fake giveaway again.........

This shows that urchins are living in delusion and enjoys smoke screen.

How can somebody prefer fake crowds to vote? Is it not better to get votes instead of crowds?

Mr Macaroni has pledged to vote Obi but won't attend any rally just like me and urchins are jubiliating,,,, for what reason I don't know. These urchins are utterly stupid.

Britishpea:
Pressing the obirodents necks lol.

Only a mumu man will think Obi will win. All Obirodents offline I have talked to don’t have PVCs.

Standing under the sun to vote is a cumbersome embracements. This is mostly done by party people, older people, thugs, Okada riders, drivers, people with less education and few students.

Obirodents largely don’t fall within this. This is why politics is grassroots. Obi doesn’t have it. The structure is so important. Most of the polls u see Obi leading we’re based on people who won’t vote. ANAP won’t call Iya Basirat who has no education to seek her opinion on who she will vote for. Iya Basirat isn’t even always with her phone because it is not important to her as much.

All the polls are as dead on arrivals. Except Obi focuses on the grassroots and the structures we talk about he goes no where. Just today I interviewed older peoples in my village and they don’t even remember his name or party.

The election is a tight race between Atiku and Tinubu. And Tinubu will eventually win. All the decampees you heard about are propaganda from AtikuGATEs. It is not real.

Lols did this mumu just admit that only Okada riders, thugs and illiterates support their party, wahala for foolishness.......

Oga you no dey write Long ass licking epistle for Agbado master anymore, abi he no gree pay again?

LordviccoDaGuru:
Election that will Never hold

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This one has read the handwriting on the wall. He knows that his agbado Lord will fail woefully, now he's saying the elections won't hold.

E no sure for am......

Dsalvo:
Dullard.

Imbecilic imp, you're a sub human, it's no wonder you voted Buhari twice despite the warning you received. Now you are bleating like a he goat........

Dsalvo:
Nothing has shown the Igbos as spiteful, hateful, unprincipled, wicked and vindictive more than 2023 elections. Anything the Buhari-led FG does to stop Tinubu is okay however punitive such is for millions of ordinary Nigerians.

Today, after Buhari's "matching orders" to DSS and co, fuel scarcity is choking in Lekki causing real misery for the axis with traffic and anxiety.

Empty ATM everywhere as an unreasonable, unfeasible and cruel deadline approaches. Absolute misery everywhere. This is the same thing they did with Awolowo. I.e ensured he was stopped by all means because they feared the progress he could deliver for Nigeria.

If they were doing this to stop a misruling bastard, rather than the best politician out of Nigeria since 1999 by far, then we can even understand.

Yet Igbos are not wise enough to question the long term agenda of those who want to abuse power to stop Tinubu.

Maniacal hate for Tinubu and fanatical love for Obi has blinded Igbos to what is just, decent and fair for the majority.

Precedence are being set for sure and all folks are taking note. Relationships will change for good going forward and Nigeria will never be the same again. The usual suspects will cry in the end. People can take that to the bank.

Oga stop wailing, it was Tinubu that helped enthrone Buhari, so he should take whatever Buhari dishes to him in good faith. Suddenly Buhari is no longer the best thing after sliced bread.

Leave Igbos out of your delusions, Tinubu and Buhari matter is a family matter.

Talking about relationships, you people burned that bridge when you chose Buhari twice over Goodluck so take that relationship talk and shove it up your asss.

You are already crying and your cry is just starting.....

Lols this Adeleke case will ginger people, someone should enlighten the ignorant ones.

nameo:
You dey mind that chap?

I dont think he has step foot or know anything about Plateau lately

They don't know...... he's probably banking on Lalong that failed his people.......

Onovo3:
.

I disagree with you on North Central, remember I said Obi will do well in North Central, but I don't see him winning a single state there. Not even Benue and Plateau as you put it. Obi's vote in those areas would be what I call Christian sympathy vote. The strong presence of APC/PDP there would be too strong for him to dismantle. This is real politics. As for Kwankwaso, the power brokers of the North would strike a deal with him. Remember how Tambuwal combined with Atiku to defeat Wike. The Northerners are very smart when it comes to politics, I have lived with them and I understand them to a reasonable extent !

Oga you don't know what you are saying. I'm on ground in Plateau state and Obi will sweep the state. Even the mai anguwars are spreading the message of Obi.

I'm very sure of Plateau even if I'm not of others.....

If Agbado master tey this one, na die straight

They couldn't even mk it look believable, see how they are holding the thing mindlessly.....

sapele914:
Can anyone in the history of Ndi Anambra be worse than a 2 term Judas Governor who abandoned his party immediately his tenure was over?

Only the political minded efulefus are not aware that Judas Peter Obi is an Ndi Igbo agenda of the oblivious peasants of yeastern Naija.

Mugu, go and eat your agbado in peace because I know your 30k for this month is finished already......
