Rules are not rules where they are unfair, they deserve to be broken and binned!

NoToPile:
Does the dragging change the rules? No

That exactly is my point, rules are rules as long as you are informed before hand. Is the nursing school rule fair- of course not but its their standard.

You act like you are aliens living on Venus before joining on us earth. In this society, you want a woman to think big. In how many families would that work out?

mudiana:
It takes two to tangle. I am sure that gal wanted to trap him with the baby. she could have terminated the pregnancy without anyone knowing. She is bent on getting married by all means even if it means wrecking someone's life to accomplish her goal. most ladies wat they want in life is just marriage and start giving birth to children like fowl. no goal, no ambition. mk she getat abeg!!!

Maybe if he hadn't ruined her life because he was "seduced", she won't be hellbent on ruining his life as well.

That last sentence, you quoted the wrong person. Keep your small thinking to yourself please.

You are very presumptious to think some of us won't drag nursing school.

NoToPile:
Please don't blame the church/ theological school. What do you mean by forgiveness, every sin has a consequence even after you have been forgiven.You think he has not asked for forgiveness from God already?

There are rules which he was fully aware and he also knew about the consequences and they have told him the only way they would take him back is if he does the honorable thing, so you want the church to take him back just like that without trying to correct the error? You forget that the girl too was also a student.

There are actions and there are consequences for every action- his lack of discipline and self control brought him here, he has to pay the price, the lady is paying her own price too.

Don't blame the church, blame the guy and girl.

If the girl was in a nursing school (where everybody knows you can't carry pregnancy) would you blame the school, when it comes to church matter you want their standards to bend, its not possible , what example are you setting for others. 2 students of the same seminary college.

At first I was angry with the girl and her family then I realised that you deserve every thing they do. I hope they make your life more miserable. You are a very selfish man.

You ruined her life when you confessed. Now she is expelled while you still have a chance to be a saint and further your education.

You must marry her. I don't care if the pregnancy is not yours.

Nigeria happened! RIP!

Why are you addressing her?

Dabronze:
My question if it was a boy that is the minor a matter like this do you think the woman would be charge for defiling the boy.

You spend money, time and effort on a child only for her future to be determined by the man she marries.

Whether she can pursue a career?
When she can go out?
When she can visit her parents?
Whether she can take care of her parents at their old age?
Whether she is going to spend any celebrations with her family again?
Whether she can cater for their financially needs? They ultimately have to rely on their daughters husband's to sustain them.

A daughter is a loss

Aren't we friends?

There is no reason why you shouldn't get married to her. She seems to have sense and understand that her brothers are wrong.

Golden147:
Smile, yes bro...

Maybe because I didn't add I have got a house (4 bedroom flat) land properties too... what I don't have now as a man is car bro... anyways I won't dig deep about myself... I know myself just want to be sure of my marriage...
In my community a young guy at 22 that knows what his doing can get marry and settle perfectly fine...

What delayed me till now is my education.. I hope you understand now?

This is very impressive, if only they can replace this federal government.

It is Super Story

Old door net worn out because of normal wear and tear, that should have been expected.

youngmo001:
what about the old door net i put before?. It got torn out due to her excessive usage, she to renew the door net doesnt give her the right to pull it out. Or she should put the old door net back.

Who destroyed her?

Darling, I am aware that Cubana owns several businesses. It doesn't negate my earlier post. Frankly, I hold nothing against the man. I am not interested in dragging this.

Lmao, using other people's wealth to shine is so typical

descarado:
Sterope, here is your answer.

Start from the front page.

Oba and nnewi are among the richest towns in anambra state.

If you are single, marry one of my brothers and enjoy away
We know how to spoil our women.
Check stat or make enquiry

Awon ole ati ole

Racist, powerful and rich white men said worse about black slaves.

First thing you learnt in social studies was that culture is dynamic. You shouldn't be so quick to dismiss her.

AmuRubber:
An age-old tradition should be altered just to please Nkechi Bianze?
I don't understand how this thing works where you come from; but if Nkechi was from my town, unless a bride price was paid, that woman isn't married. Tradition won't be modified in order to massage her ego driven by bitter feminism.

Your tradition has no place for pre marital sex yet you don't scream tradition when people engage in fornication. Your tradition has no place for Christianity yet you combine both. I am not sure but I don't think Christianity supports bride price.

donbenie:
The same way those going for church weddings are already NINE MONTHS pregnant..

Do you know what eventually happened to Caesar? . Caesar had plenty knives though him right in the senate house floor exactly because of that.

donbenie:
Yes..
In the church..
Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar..

Commencement of marriage can also be 'do you want to marry this man/woman?'

donbenie:
Payment of the bride price is SYMBOLIC..
It is what LITERALLY signifies the commencement of marriage..
Most fathers and Ụmụnna would rather accept the bride price and then RETURN it to the Groom's family..
To signify that they are not selling their daughters..
I am yet to hear of one where the bride price is not paid at all..
It connotes that no marriage happened in the first instance..

But your traditional wedding doesn't preclude from having sex before marriage though

donbenie:
NOBODY is forcing her to have a traditional wedding..
She can as well go to the church and wed..
Or better still..
Let her go and have a court wedding..
That way..
Her FEMINIST IDEALS would protected..
As long as she's having a traditional wedding..
Some ceremonies are sacrosanct..
For TODAY..
YOU can't have a traditional wedding..
Without the payment of the bride price in Igboland..
I don't know about tomorrow..
But that is how it is TODAY..

It would be inconceivable to your forefathers what this world has become. Why should it be inconceivable that a woman can have a proper marriage without bride price?

donbenie:
The Ụmụnna is her immediate kindred..
In Igbo marriage rites,the marriage is between the man and the woman's kindred..
There is an extent to which she and her immediate family can be able to influence the Town's marriage customs..
Paying of the Bride Price is the symbolic act of MARRIAGE PROPER,every other rites are add ons..
So it's inconceivable that her bride price was not paid..

That symbolic meaning is actually the problem

pocohantas:
I honestly do not understand why you are barking. If there is anything she has done, she has walked the talk, but you are still not satisfied. You have somehow made it about her age, which shows your problem is just to cause ruckus at every given time.

First, I hope we (including her) all know the difference between the BRIDE PRICE and MARRIAGE LIST. Two different things.

To the topic, BRIDE PRICE and marriage list is not about her, it is about the Umunna. The last time I checked, the BRIDE PRICE is not given to the bride, but to her father. The content of the list is also not given to her, but to the Umunna, Umuada and youths.

Even the bible says, give what belongs to Caesar to Caesar. A core Igbo man would be very restless if he doesn’t pay bride price, because he knows what is waiting for him in the front. Who even gave her drink to give him when BRIDE PRICE hasn’t been paid?

I do hope she had a unanimous agreement with her people on this. She won’t be the first woman to marry without her BRIDE PRICE being paid. However, they all pay it at some point, maybe when she dies.

I have seen women being treated badly and they said it is because they shamefully followed a man who didn't pay their BRIDE PRICE. I have also seen the ones treated badly and they still say it is because he BOUGHT them. Bride price where I come from is N10 and it is SYMBOLIC, not an EXTORTION, not SELLING THE LADY. The presence or absence if it is also not a guarantee he would treat you fairly. That one is dependent on the man and his ideologies.

Thank you

Aren't we at the end time? It shouldn't be surprising if people aren't turning out for church?

Lmao. You didn't do anything to her yet she just walked away after your production

Pretty sure Cubana did both

I am trying to figure out which part of my post concerns burial, marriages etc in Anambra

It is a public forum and I can make his business mine if I so wish. Drink water and watch me make it my business.

descarado:
I don't hold brief for anybody. Read that post well and see my disclaimer. If we should tow that angle like you are doing, tell me a clean rich Nigerian? Is it the politicians we celebrate, or the religious leaders? What about the public servants?
Let the guy be.
Like I said, if he is doing some illegal stuff, it's the duty of the govt to scrutinise and arrest him. Not hungry and jobless people online.
My point is that what happened in the man's home is how it is anywhere in anambra and igboland in general during burial. Burial is celebrated more than marriage, birthdays etc.
I rest my case.
Unless you have a personal beef with the man, I don't see why this should be a problem

This is how rich wasteful Nigerians bury their old. We have a culture where those who don't hold a candle to Cubana's wealth borrow huge sums of money for funeral. This is exactly what any idiot would do as well.

I can have legit Investments and be involved drug trafficking, rituals, cyberfraud and human trafficking. In a country like Nigeria with compromised security, why are you holding brief for any rich man?

descarado:
Somebody listed cubana's investments, please can you list hushpipu?

I decided to reply you cos this is getting out of hand.
This is how a big man burial always is in anambra state. Can you see that anambra people here have moved on?
It is normal and especially one's parents, they can declare parry for the whole town. Also, if you are rich, friends and associates outdo themselves in this kind of thing to curry favour.

I once did burial like few yrs ago, my family is not like cubana but had my family been into showbiz, you will see almost the same thing here. We as a family wanted very low key burial but it was an abomination to everybody's ear.
You guys should let this matter be. If he got his money legal or illegal, that's between him and the authorities but not holier than thou people we see online that are struggling to make ends meet.

Have you been to anambra state?
Make out time and visit some towns so that anytime you see topics like this, u will definitely ignore as its a waste of your precious time. Torchlight don't beam on igbo people as regards celebrations but this is the norm. They don't even care if Torchlight beam on them, they just do their stuff and life continues. Only a landlord with 4 high rising in onitsha and its environs( that has not stepped outside Nigeria) and two shops in onitsha main market will do this and heaven will not fall.

Bigots deserve to be beaten to death.

KillMNKnow:
Genetically corrupt people

Hereditary criminal people

They're showing off ill gotten money to recruit unfortunate youths.

I wonder why the government is not arresting this criminals on time

They sacrifice everyone in their family and community for ritualism at the end they will lose everything

Benefits obtained in an evil manner or by dishonest means, as in They traffic drugs, they sells their babies for ritualism, send their sisters to prostitution, kill their parents for ritualism. Unfortunate people with their ill-gotten gains.

Their insecurities is so bad criminality av found a place in their DNA. Cursed demonic children

There co.panies might be listed on Nigerian Stock Exchange doesn't mean they haven't made the bulk of their wealth ripping us off as well.

I think we've had enough of this burial thing, even to the point of comparison, and it is caused by the publicity crew of the Cubana's bombarding Nairaland day and night with publicity stunts. They shove it down our throats that these guys are billionaires, and they mention one Jowizaza as a billionaire, whom I never heard of or seen on the dailies. But it fine, we can move on now.

But one thing is certain, the pettyness of calling everyone a Billionaire is robbing us of simple knowledge and eroding our intelligence here on Nairaland.

Adenuga and the likes are in the class of listed Billionaires on the Billionaires index, these guys roll with Presidents and own Oil Wells and employ thousands of families, unfortunately, we don't know much of these showbiz boys (forgive me, I call them boys) with PR crews that are constantly bombarding Nairaland for publicity stuff.

Just for reference, Billionaires from the Eastern Flock:



NB: Some of these guys quoted above have their companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE); Abeg I no fit shout.

Real Billionaires don't make noise and have no need for publicity. They're the real MVPs and Role Models we should all aspire to become. They're employers of thousands, own Industries and enable people to put foods on their tables.

Edit:

I read from this BBC Pidgin page that Obi Cubana's Chain of Clubs in Nigeria is worth $2 Billion USD - https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/tori-57872163
On another same BBC Pidgin page, they said he is worth $96 Million USD, but unverified - https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/tori-57872724

Peace

Another foolish display of wealth. Wealth skimmed off Nigerians and poor gullible people.

The future is crime

Generational wealth doesn't preclude crimes as well. . If at all, it makes it easy for them to do into crimes and receive proceeds of crimes.

Dangote grandad was a very rich man. Do I think Dangote hasn't taken advantage of others? Tinubu was the governor of Lagos when he was accused of being a drug baron.

mancoconut:
Have you heard of something called "GENERATIONAL WEALTH" before? do you even know who the father of Obi Cubana was when he was alive? my guess is of course no, but what are the chances I won't be wasting my time by first telling you about the type of super wealthy family Obinna Cubana comes from
