Im a culprit. Bt it actually sounds like biscuit when chewin. My favorite

It is not called a brisket bone. It is called a spongy bone

thinkdip:
its just a metaphor for "Soft bone" and since biscuit is soft it is used to name it. Its "biscuit bone" , and its not primarily the real name but its used to identify it.

Sort of. . . Biscuit is a proper nomenclature that describes the nature of the bone. Brisket Bone on the other hand is utterly wrong.

By the way, Soft Bone is a disease.

It is not biscuit or brisket. Find out the real name of the bone

There has been a little controversy of recent over a type of bone that is commonly used in some Nigerians meals - especially moi moi and agidi.

A Nigerian on Twitter claimed that this bone is actually called a "brisket bone" instead of "biscuit bone" which Nigerians have called it for ages. I initially believed him not until there was an attempt to refute this claim by a Nairalander who insisted that the name of the bone is actually "Biscuit" and not Brisket.

Out of confusion and utter perplexity, i decided to put my superior research skills to test. What I found was shocking! The real name of the bone is neither biscuit nor brisket.

The bone is called a Spongy Bone.

According to the Britannica

. . .Cancellous bone, also called trabecular bone or spongy bone, light, porous bone enclosing numerous large spaces that give a honeycombed or spongy appearance. The bone matrix, or framework, is organized into a three-dimensional latticework of bony processes, called trabeculae, arranged along lines of stress. The spaces between are often filled with marrow and blood vessels.

I hate when people say that Nigeria does not have an ethnic problem. The major reason why Nigeria died (Yes, Nigeria is dead) was because of ethnic issues.
Ethnic prejudice and bias are a serious problem in many African countries. Hence, it is shallow and ignorant to brush aside our ethnic problems. The elites are the ones holding this country together for obvious reasons. To the common man on the street, this country called Nigeria is nothing but a farce.


I have always thought about restructuring as a way out even long before the current purveyors of the term arrived. But I no longer support a restructured Nigeria because I don't know how that is going to work out. I doubt if this country will ever be restructured.

I have wanted to create this thread for some time now but never had the chance to. It is important as Nigerians especially Nigerians who claim to be patriotic to know where your country stands among countries with regards to economic and socio-political development.

What if they're South South Igbos like Chibuike Amaechi? Will you chase them away?

Any igbo person that thinks Igboland and the south east will develop or will be developed (infrastructure-wise) in Nigeria, is a careless dreamer.

Lies

Crap

wirinet:
No IPOB member or supporter have been able to answer pertinent question asked by the Senate President;



Are IPOB youths ready to sacrifice tens of millions of Igbo lives and trillions of naira of igbo owned properties in the North and South West for their Biafra? Most of these IPOB youths including their leader has little or no investments in other parts of Nigeria, most do not even have reasonable investments in the homestead. IPOB is like the proverbial Baby that was in dispute between two women in the Bible. IPOB believes the Baby should be cut in half because she would never feel the pain of loss, while the real mother prefers to give away the baby than lose her baby.

Ekwerenmadu and other Igbo groups are trying to preserve their lives and interests in the Nigerian baby.

If it were the yorubas strongly agitating to secede, what will be your arguments against secession?

What of the president that is trapped in london?

Igbos and Yorubas have become too integrated to be separated. The number of Igbo/Yoruba marriages is actually getting higher than the number of Igbo/Igbo marriages.
I wonder what will happen when Yoruba youths make an "arewa declaration".

This iss wrong

You're absolutely right. A biafria without Igbo nationalism is worth fighting for.

This picture gave me a solid erection

This man is economically daft. He doesn't understand that the money he spends in government is nothing but fiat. He is not spending dollars or pounds but naira - a fiat currency. Nigerians are generally just daft and stupid.

Shallow thinking

150 billion naira profit my ass. Do you think we are kids?

This man must be a fan of ghettogaggers

A doctor shouldn't be addicted to porn, he should know the least. Now he's at risk of getting his medical license revoked.

beberebe:
But not more developed than BAYELSA....

Gombe is more developed than Bayelsa

Gombe is more developed than bayelsa

His own is even smooth, what will say about this man?

Some news have the ability to just spoil your day. This is one of them.

These guys and their baseless statements. Igbo population and investments in the north is highly exaggerated.

Southern Nigerians are really hopeless slaves.

Onye Nzuzu. I stand with the father inlaw

mightykay:
so somebody that returned ojukwu money for charges of his duty for the one has he done and the one he is yet to do, he also returned 700k pounds ojukwu kept in his custody, why are you people like do you think everybody behave like you, how much was he bribed, did you read the write up at all, is it not enough reason for a sane person to cut tie with a deluded chimpanzee.

I just told you what the Biafrans accused him of back then.
