I can’t explain it well, but Igbos are deeply tied to their roots and togetherness. You don’t really know a person except you know his/her ancestral home and that can never change. SanwoOlu can decide to demolish our house in Lagos, but that can’t happen in the village.

Various rites in Igbo land are also stressful, so no matter how long it takes, something must bring you back to them. It is better you start identifying with them early.

pocohantas:
Majority of the people saying it is fine are not Igbos. The only people I know that will live, marry and be buried in Lagos without knowing their hometowns are Yorubas, no offense, but Igbos do not do that.

As woke as I am, one thing I will never do is my trad in the city or even marry without knowing the village of my partner.

All these woke Igbo people running away from the village saying “village people”, yes they could be a handful and I hate that- but a day will come when you’ll need those village people. I have an aunty that did Lagos marriage when I was a teenager, today she regrets it.


Even if you wake me from deep sleep, I will show you the way to my parents house IN THE VILLAGE. I can also show you their own parents houses as jara, that is my ROOT.

pocohantas:
Don’t mind zzôr. I am sure she knows it doesn’t make him stingy, also surprised that people still get worked up over her comments.

She plays too much.

pocohantas:
It is the same way mechanics behave when a woman brings her car to them. Even ordinary vulcanizer would try to scam you.

It is simply because they don’t see men doing it often and they assume you don’t know the prices of those things.




Make una leave Zzor for me abeg.

Wow, so because I am single now I have to look for someone to buy what I am going to eat for me. Our mentality is just mad.

First I think you are right, that is actually what most women believe, you are the second lady telling me this, but I am not actually stingy, I just like being on my own.

I don't even have friends in my street, but I will work on your input, thumbs up.

Heaven will rejoice the day you borrow sense.

For 6years you haven’t had peace and he hasn’t either. But you two have been able to sustain erectiôns and a slimy vagina- enough to have 4kids in 6yrs.

Hello Nairalanders.....A close friend of mine was to return to Nigeria from china early this year but due to covid-19 pandemic decided to stay back a bit till everything was clear...

Fast forward to now after booking for his flight ticket which has a stopover in hongkong,he was denied boarding a plane in Shanghai cos he doesn't have an hongkong transit visa which he never knew of or told and his visa expires in 3days and getting the hongkong transit visa takes 4 weeks.....

Please experienced nairaland travellers and guys currently residing in China, please what countries can he has stop-overs or connecting flights to that doesn't require transit visa... .

Pls help urgently so he won't overstay his visa or have issues with Chinese authorities because he is operating under a low budget after expending so much to exorbitant flight tickets rates and other Chinese authorities wahala....


Please I need y'all advice before I book another flight ticket for him before 7am Shanghai time

I sincerely miss the time when family problems stayed within the family and certain things remained in people's heads.




These celebs should learn to handle their shits without disturbing our space, we have our own problems and we don't bug them with it

Uhuun, l talk am!
The Spin has started.

When a man marries a bad wife, he’ll turn into a philosopher. Now it adds up. He seemed to love his wife though, at least from social media posts and all. She no try.

pocohantas:
He is not okay. Did she leave the 5yrs old alone or with a trusted person? If it is the latter, I see nothing she did wrong.

You won’t marry her, you no gree. You no want make she mingle 5yrs later.

Sighting this 1000 note as an example, The Arabic inscription on it simply means NAIRA DUBU(Hausa language) in Transliteration which means #1000.

It's Hausa language but written in Arabic.

The Arabic word for a thousand naira is ألف not نير دوبو as it's on our thousand note.

I can also write egberun naira (Yoruba language) in Arabic as we have it in Hausa language (but written in Arabic) on our note. As well as in Igbo.

أيبر نير egberun naira (#1000).

IT'S JUST A LANGUAGE as explained in this write-up, nothing like ISLAMIZATION. We all need to look away on some certain things if we must live in peace, Which is ESSENTIAL.

I can sight some examples of what we're also using in Nigeria that are related to Christianity but no fuss from Muslim side.


WE NEED TO STOP ALL THESE UNNECESSARY FUSS

They are anti-Christ. Simple.

Trump, while not a model Christian, is willing to stick out his neck to protect Christian rights. They don't like that.

Anyone who has followed dems in recent times, knows they want to build a godless society. A society where anything about God (most especially, the Christian God) is completely eroded.

One message for Christians though is that regardless of the outcome of this elections, Christianity is going back to the catacombs in the near future. Serious persecution.

PlaysNigeria:
The FBI isn't interested in investigating a hoe vs black ape case (sorry to say), if you get a rape allegation and luckily someone stands as witness, my dear you are a gonner. There are too many black cases than to pile up another for an investigation no one is interested in. Even if it's a deal gone wrong or set up, as long as you are black, orange is your uniform.

Pipefitter:
America has saved a lot of people and ruined the lives of many too, sending someone to prison for 15 years on the account of a stripers statement and another 4 years for an old warrant.. where is the justice? Trump and his friends are known molesters but his is being protected by American SS and fed with tax payers money.

Icelandicboy:
Only God knows why Muslims across the world are fiercely against trump. Anyway may the candidate that would be of benefit to America and Nigeria win

Evidence1000:
Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is what happens in a country where most soldiers who join the military do not undergo full training but become soldiers as a result of connections.
