There have been several 'theories' about the origin of Ugbodu, some saying from 'igbo odun', and others saying from 'ugbodunmila'. To the best of my knowledge, these are just guesses at best. The fact remains that these Olukumi towns in Delta North have settled in the Igbo area for so many decades and their town names are purely Igbo names, albeit ancient Igbo names. Ugbodu does not sound Yoruba in any way. Ugbodu has several meanings in Igbo.

Are you a Yoruba speaker or you just understand it vaguely? Ugbodu is Igbo Odu but when you call it together you get Ugbodu and it means forest of treasure in Yoruba language. I believed you are not Yoruba; Yoruba cannot say Ugbodu is not Yoruba.

Just like Edo people would call Esan Eshan. Esan is a name in Yoruba land meaning vengeance. All Akoko towns in Edo are Yoruba towns. Saying no yoruba towns in Edo is as untrue as saying no Ekiti towns in Kwara state or no Ekiti/Yoruba towns in kogi. Even igala and Ebira people have ties with Yoruba land of Ile-Ife and they didn't deny it till date. Benin Republic people are Yoruba, part of Ghana are Yoruba. Cuba towns are numerous in Cuba and several others. Try n read history very well.

Ponzi scheme: Different devil, same hell!

They should be pro Elzakzaki's expressing dissatisfaction over his continuing detention by PMB.

Everyone from SE/SS must support this and make it work. Anyone who wants the progress of that region must not attack their vessels on the high seas. They have always complained of security issues around that side. Its time to encourage them by showing that the region is safe to do business. Asari should speak to his people.

They will never heed. Children of anarchy won't hear until they perish. Their madness has chased almost all companies away due to insecurity. Just this 2020 Jan, two white men were kidnapped in Bayelsa.

Your story reminds me of my tribulations as an undergraduate in Unilorin. Paraphrasing... Finished secondary school 2002, gained admission into unilorin 2009. Dropped out after 400L (final year) owing to many carry over and lack of sponsor coupled with strong family sabotage. Had similar problem all through Unilorin days. What caused my poor academics was that I lost my father, my only surviving parent in 100L 1st semester and that marked the beginning of my Unilorin degree pursuit. When my father died, I started doing yahoo to fend for myself. My father's family did all they could to frustrate my life. No help came from them and they even took my father's house that would have been a source of income and support from me. As a unilorin undergraduate, yahoo was source of income and being an amateur, money wasn't coming. Coping in school became practically almost impossible as financial pressure defines my studentship. No cloths, no food, going 3 days without food! House rent, and younger ones looking up to me facing something in school. Homelessness coupled with several spiritual attack from paternal line made life so unbearable for me. I finally dropped out as a homeless students sleeping around peoples house. Life was hell. I went to C&S church where I prayed for 5 years all to be revealed my uncle's wife, (my dad's immediate elder brother's wife) had taken my glory since I was a boy of 2 years!!! I became depressed, down n out. The church of God joined me in prayer and I saw this woman in my vision telling me she had gotten my glory @2 and that I am the only one she couldn't get to use his glory of all the numerous people's glory she collected. She told me she took it when I was 2 years and she gave me back a day to my 32nd birth day! My glory was imprisoned by my uncle's wife for 30 years! When I for mine, I saw numerous others, but they weren't as lucky as mine - she had succeeded in using theirs. Though I opened all other glories I saw in her evil bag, but to my surprise, some had finished! She had succeeded in using all their glory. This is just an iceberg of what I faced as an undergraduate. I will make it a movie with time.

The young guy should tell his dad what's going on asap to avoid other stories that touch.

...the brother had problem and was jailed...

Be like say admin wey write this piece dey craze. The problem no get name? Besides the news is so Igboish. It's all biafran affairs.

Mightymanna:
Non of these regional security apparatus will help Nigeria's unity because they are conceived with sinister motives toward some ethnic groups in the country. For those that are shouting HISBAH and civilian JTF in the North are also illegal, they should look at the aforementioned from different perspectives because Hisbah was created by Kano state and civilian JTF by Borno state non of these Security agencies are allowed to use gun or any sophisticated weapons
But amatekun or whatever they call it is a different case because
1.a whole geo-political zone decided to create it
2. They will be allowed to use weapons
3. They are being supported by people of questionable character e.g Nnamdi KANU
4. Other regions might do the same hence the federal police will be useless and conflicts will started based on perceived injustice by people of different ethnicity.


Therefore amatekun or whatever is dead and buried the Northerners will not agree will these sort of security arrangements, if you want secure your region cooperate with the police and army in your respective states, support them with necessary , material and financial support and watch how things will change

You are a foreigner to say JTF don't use gun. They attack Boko haram with bare hand?! North always feels like it owns Nigeria and that will lead to sudden break up. No one or group of people can have deal or agreement with one or more Fulani that his life n his entire households won't be at risk. Fulani are kleptomaniac, cantankerous and violent. Even peace is always on the run wherever they are concentrated. No region in the world have them close that is peaceful. They are either into terrorism or banditry. Before you stone me, look inward n outwards. Nigeria, Senegal, Iran, somalia, Cameron, Chad, CAR and so on...

Your wife needs to understand she can't treat your mom the way she treats hers. In-laws are meant to be respected for peace to return to your home. You the hubby need to talk to your wife to learn to see your mom as her mom too and stop acting like they are age mates having differences. Both women are Paramount to you and non can be cut out. Just that your wife needs to step up her tolerance.

Miyetti Allah would cause Nigeria to break up one day so that they can hide under northern nation government to kill their fellow Northerner and destroy their farm with straying herd of cow. Southerners investing in the North should start acting wise or else, sorry will, at the end, be their case.

I need to go back to the university, department of emotion and study "Love'. The way I am refereeing and giving G&C to breakup spouses on nairaland these days ehn, I go soon open office beside mama Amaka's akpu joint.

Chai!! See as them finish us

Some truth, but a lot of exaggerations. In the health sector for instance I don't agree the issue of fake drugs is still as serious as it once was.

Secondly I don't totally agree medications are not available in most hospital. There may be occasional stockout but I don't think it's a general issue


Lastly in this day and age how many people still request for tap water? It's almost always bottled water even in those road side bukas

1) Bottled water became relevant in Nigeria due to failure of government to provide clean n stable water. In America, till date, it govt. still maintain good water supply to all citizens. That we rely heavily on bottled water here is a failure of water ministry under the govt. Americans don't store up water like we do in Africa. Their kitchen, bathroom all have tap (not borehole) they just on tap and get water for drinking, cooking n bathing.

2) months ago, a doctor in the north visited the state general hospital at night and only 1 or 2 doctors were on duty and about 6 others were absent! The Governor got their dial n called them n they didn't pick because they were either sleeping or busy at their private clinics. This is exactly what has become of our health sector. You said PMB hasn't built any big hospital for past 5 years? Is the solution building hospitals or to make functional the existing ones?

3) Counterfeit drugs n other things are everywhere! Since Nigerians produce counterfeit Coca cola, Malt, Stout, and several foreign wines, what else can they do? A company was busted maybe in Edo or Anambra, they just open borehole tap into bottle, sealed it and label it bottle water and it's been existing for 4 to 5yrs before busted.

Anything happens in Nigeria. The write is very correct.

You better face your SLT squarely or else you will have yourself to blame later. You are studying SLT presently n lamenting no admission for six years as if you are still admission less. I spent seven years ahome before I gained admission and dropped out after final year/400L from University due to financial n family problems. Was in a church praying for 6 years to overcome village people and I am not shouting depressed, "which problem you con get"? Pharmacy might not be your calling, just have your degree, God might have other plans for your future.

Most of these protesters are Iranian Americans. They are worried n concerned for their kit & kin back home. And the most reasonable way to stop war is by these Iranian Americans matching/protesting to Trump directly. This would melt Trump's anger and peace word reign if only Iran accepts US is their father by shunning reprisals.

Had a gf in Aba, I told her I wanted to come visit her. She exclaimed and said, buy paracetamol and keep when coming o! I was like, why? She said I would need to take it twice before I get to her due to terribly bad roads!

Talk to your sister and talk to the guy. Get the guy's number and call him and arrange to see him. Don't you ever arrange for him to be beaten as it won't end well and your innocent sister would, at the end, pity him and release her body to him when you are gone. I'm male, 36, if a lady approached me decently and tell me to pls keep eyes off her kid sis, being a minor, I will never disturb her again. Even if she's very beautiful, I will wait till she turns 18 or 20. Tell your mother too, but warn her never to start beating her cause of that because it will push her all out!

The truth is her friends have been telling her how sweet sex is and that's fascinating to her that she can not wait to experience it but she's afraid! That she's still afraid means she never even start to dey spoil. because last time I was in Ado Ekiti, the little girl I paid to rape me for a night made me lose control timelessly before dawn. She's good versatile and very neat. Her tin is sugar gate n I enjoyed myself. Thank you for being a good big sis.

Lamasta:
One thing is certain the whole of Iran is under surveillance by the US in case of incasity and if not that US has strong intelligence just look at how a top military general was brought down without noise but our military here is yet to kill Shekau that is on another level.

Lets just observe how things play out

Nigerian army cannot defeat Boko haram because internal sabotage and Nigerians are like stew on rice.
Northern Muslims are Boko haram; Boko haram are northern Muslims. Sadly, they always pull the shot in presidential election due to their moronic exponentially insane numerical advantage that birthed the madness identified as Boko haram in the first place.

realestniggah:
I don't see how any sane individual can support the US who are known for war mongering.

First of all the United state are wrong to enter an international air space to fire using a drone on a citizen of another country.

I don't see in the news where a foreign government come into the USA to unleash a weapon. It never happen.

Why does the United state feel they can do that and get away with it?

Did Iran government ask for help before firing that drone?

How ever I you loom at it the United state are wrong.

Up until yesterday this was the first time I'm hear of that man.. And from images and videos I've seen he seem like a man who was loved by Iranian citizens.

If y'all support this.. I hope y'all are gonna support the USA when they come in here and fire a weapon killing Nnamdi kanu or sowore simply because someone labeled them terrorist.

If US will fire weapon in Nigeria, their weapon will land in the North, the home of Kabiru Sokoto, Boko haram and Shekarau and also, Usman Danfodio stool in Sokoto the originator of Nigeria's problem.

All these northern Nigerian herdsmen & Elzakzaki Shiit backing Iran, hope you will help them participate in the war against USA? Iran, if Nigerian Islamic Movement are your supporters, you don die finish o.

Me too I am so surprised Robin Van Persie could say such to Arsenal. I was in shock seeing the headline the day they played. Robin loyalty should undivided belong to Arsenal. Man U bided for him when Arsenal managed him well and made him a fear factor in EPL n Champions league. Arsene Wenger will be so disappointed right now.

internationalman:
thank GOD we have USA, the world police..

this earth would have been ISLAMALISED by now or bombed to ashes

This is why US needs to restrict entry for all Muslims. Long as Christians don't stand a chance in Saudi Arabia, Muslims shouldn't be allowed to thrive in America. I support Trump's ban on Arab nation.

Just imagine Nigeria without Muslims? She would have been as peaceful as the early morning spring water and fast developing.

Funny thing about my dick is that it is as small as lip gloss cover when gentle but grows like indomie generation pickin when in active service and as a result, my wife cannot take it in doggy style. Only skinny girls with XXXL long size vagina can take my thing in doggly.

This kind case dey make police happy ehn?! To come and recover money, dem dey like am die.

Learn from this. One man cannot rule for ever. The Sarakis dynasty has ended in Kwara and all they stole and cunningly acquire during their tyranny is gradually returning to the state. See how Bukola n his late father are powerless now. Even their dog, emir of Ilorin is afraid to speak because he knows it takes nothing for PMB to order him be dethroned ASAP.

Saraki single handedly brought down GEJ, his father n emir of Ilorin killed Gov Lawal. Bukola should deal with his own too.

Jodha:
See as yhu dey proudly generalize ....Asif men don't cheat...

Asif y'all are saints....

What about men that cheat?

If men cheat, it's allowed. Man can have many wife cannot have many husbands. Read the Bible or Quran, how many prophets God likes that wasn't a polygamist.

Women are tools of enjoyment to men.

czarina:
M. I technically isn't wrong on this though. If Wizkid hadn't worked his way to the top and gone global, how many of them would associate with him?

There are better, endearing ways to refer to him not as a "Lil brother".


Wizkid is a big brand and imagine what Akon's followers that are yet to know him would think of him.

I. M. O, Akon may be the older/"more international" artist and means well, but Wizkid isn't a "Lil bro".

What's my business sef, Wizzy never complain.

With this your view n analysis, you still needed to be taking your meds regularly. You will be well soon.

[quote author=emperorblog21 post=85359164][/quote]God will never make the mistake of uplifting someone like you. You will trample on the poor and eat them like a predator. You over hype yourself and misbehave even to God like King Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar

Dasuki be like, even if Buhari dies before I get hold on revenge, Yusuf go suffer am.

There's no December people don't get missing in Akure. All those Idanre Ogboni guys who want to renew their money are always behind this. Modern day idanre people will join occult, do money ritual, travel out once blood money is activated! They will return home Yuletide season to renew their ritual n that's when people start missing in Akure!

Idanre/Ondo has overtaken Ijebu/Ogun as blood money capital of Yoruba land.

Erediauwa:
Today is every Yesterday's Tomorrow....

What Sanusi and Sowore are reaping Today bountifully is as result of the hate they sowed against GEJ.


I don't feel pity for them..... Let them enjoy their bumper harvest Buhari is serving them.

There are so many people like you that are blind to the truth. GEJ paved way for nepotistic, fanatic PMB to regain popularity in Nigerian politics. Herdsman Buhari was politically in Oblivion where OBJ put him until he laced Jonathan with Fulani juju to start misbehaving while in office so as to revive his dead presidential ambition. If Jona had done well while in office, herdsman Buhari would've remained frustrated forever. Next time, blame okonjo iweala, Donald Duke, kleptomaniac Deizani Alison Madueke, Pius Ayim, Edwin Clark, Olisa Metu n co

That can’t run. So they can come and add their input in my marriage whenever they please

My mum can live with us tho

No way!
I will not allow it to happen if I were your man. Since others won't be allowed, same goes for your mom too.
