Efiong? Who is proud of him for his role as 2ic in Ojukwu Biafra in his Akwa Ibom state? He was there on his own. His only 'heroic' is the surrender.

Tell them pls! Nobody gives a hoot about him in the Akwa/Cross community. No monuments erected in his honour, no memorials, nothing whatsoever. Ojukwu only lured him with promises of being 2nd in command in a new country and he stupidly followed.

Afam4eva:
Maybe the Asaba people are also settlers in DElta state. Are you aware that Akwa Ibom is an articial creation? Are you aware that Anambra has Indigenous Igala people?

Me I don't know about Asaba own. I am telling you about my own state. Originally there are NO Igbo ethnic groups in Akwa Ibom. Apart from the gorge material, We share nada in common with Igbos. Nothing at all. The Igbos there are the ones whose families trade between Abia and Akwa Ibom. They are not allowed to hold traditional titles and are definitely not active in politics.
Mazi Afam, take ya time!

Afam4eva:
Ndoki is a sub group of Igbo that are divided into Abia, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states. You must think Akwa Abasi Ibom is only made up of Emesere people.

The Ndokis or whatever you call them are settlers around the Abia/Akwa Ibom border. They are NOT Indegenes. It's just like calling Igbos in Festac or Alaba Lagos indegenes. That they made Amuwo odoofin their home does not in any way make them Lagos indegenes.
Be guided.

Afam! Afam!! Afam4eva!!!
How many times did I call you?
There are NO indigenous Igbos in Akwa Ibom. Stop misinforming people.

Orjioorji:
except they accept Jesus Christ as their lord and saviour, if not they are still potential terrorist and will still come back to burn the same church you think they were protecting .

Have YOU accepted Jesus as YOUR own personal lord and savior? The fact that you were born into a Christian home is NO automatic ticket to heaven. You will end up in the same hell with terrorists because a true Christian preaches love and acceptance.
Shalom.

There's a 31 year old bachelor in my office and I'm always teasing him. I'll apologize immediately... I hope he doesn't feel this bad.

Only 31? WTH is wrong with Nigerians? You that is married has marriage solved all your life problems

When KOWA party is there?

He wasn't bowing to Akpabio. He was doing the customary bow people are expected to do after addressing the Senate. You take 3 bows. To the right, center and left sections of the house.

Awon olodo ni gbogbo bloggers yin.

Honestly I don't know this man pulls off his innocent-lamb act so flawlessly. Bravo!

Up Nigerian Armed forces!
Smoke the ass of any fraudulent biafran or any shitty shiite if they ever threaten Nigerian's security.

Come to think of it, why are the so-called Christians who always hated anything Islamic speaking for shiites now? The same people who were until two weeks ago canvassing for the extinction of all Muslims worldwide are now suddenly concerned about the human rights of some Muslims now ba?
Oh! I forgot. Many People from that part of the country will always support anything that poses a threat to Buhari/APc's govt even if that thing end up killing them. Onye ara

I go through marriage/relationship threads on the front page and sometimes browse through the family and romance section and the kind of advice I see there often makes me wonder what EXACTLY Nigerians think marriage and relationships are all about.
It seems like most see it as some sort of cult/covenant where as long as physical abuse or cheating is not involved, then you are stuck and you cannot come out of again anymore, even if you die in it!
Some see it as some sort of bargain. Some see it as something you do because it’s needed. Some see it as some sort of moral obligation where you need to “do what is right”
These are the kinds of people that look down on mature single people especially ladies because in their warped minds, such ladies would have been approached earlier and so it’s her fault she’s still single because as far as they are concerned, she should have sha accepted one of them. They don’t give a damn if she didn’t feel connected enough to any of them, they are hell bent on believing her predicament is because she’s “too selective” “too materialistic” etc. Then they conclude finally that she does not have a “good character”. These people simply do not want to consider that there are some people who are unfortunately, for certain reasons not very lucky in the area of love/relationships. Some people are also very particular about what they want while some are just not into the idea of marriage and long term relationships. It doesn’t mean that any of the people mentioned in these categories have any serious personality problems or that somebody in their village is doing them, it just means that everybody has their own time and some people take this marriage business a little bit unconventionally as others.
Please before you tie the knot with your “long time” bf/gf or before you start giving advice to someone concerning marriage please bear these focal points in mind;

1. That Mr and Mrs A Are married does Not Mean That They are Happy:
Yeah, they could be our neighbors or church members who just got married and watching them just makes you wanna plan your own wedding. Hold on a sec! Many married people of today are NOT happy and if given a chance, they would settle for someone else or wait a little longer to meet someone else. Some men are beginning to admit that “monogamy is a scam”. There are more married men who don’t wear their rings these days and the number of married women cheating on their husbands will shock you to your marrow! But yet they are the ones that will give expert advice to single people o! They will tell you “love will come”. Really
2. That You Are Getting “Old” Is No Excuse For Accepting Just Any Proposal:
God forbid but it is better to grow old and die single than be in a marriage where the love is not balanced or where your partner has no vision/purpose/etc. Highest highest go and look for one fine mulato to impregnate you if your menopause is around the corner.
3. Relationships/Marriage Is NOT A Moral Obligation or A Cult:
No now now. You do not stay with someone just because you’ve been dating for over 3,4,5, or even 15 years and the next step “should be” marriage because you are used to the person and the devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know. Wow! So you really want to go into marriage with a “devil” just because you’ve been dating for 5 years? Seriously! That you’ve been with someone for 10 years does not mean that you cannot leave if you know that deep down you just don’t feel that person. That you’re dating the most responsible man in the world does not make him the right one for you. That your babe is the sweetest thing ever does not make her your missing rib. I believe that we all have this thing called intuition and most times our intuition tries to warn us when are about taking life changing decisions. Listen to your intuition carefully and obey it! The right one for you may not necessarily be the one with the best character but someone your soul connects with. Someone you know you are genuinely happy with, flaws and all. I’m not saying you should throw away a diamond for a stone in the name of being with who you love, but as long as who you love does not pose any threat to your health, psychological wellbeing, etc, and you know deep down what you want, then go for it! This brings me to the final point;
4. Stop Playing God When Advising People on What Decision To Make:
This is the most annoying one. I see a poster pouring put his/her heart out here and the next thing people turn to relationship experts about something they don’t have enough facts on. Some will force their beliefs on the op. Forcing and even cursing him/her to make certain choices because they perceive that choice to be the right and moral one, never mind that they hardly know the parties involved personally and they won’t be in the marriage/relationship with them. Most times I watch in horror when A guy will come here and say that he’s about to marry someone out of pity and people will advise him to go ahead with it because the girl has “invested” a lot in him, because the devil he knows is better than the angel he doesn’t know. Bla bla bla. O ga o! Na so marriage be? Some will even curse him for even considering someone else. Please when did relationships become blood covenants that you cannot get out of mbok Yes the op might have been a big dundee for leading a girl/guy on for years only to realize they don’t want to marry the person but that does NOT also mean you should sentence the op and his supposed partner to a life of an unhappy/forced union just because of that. Allow people make mistakes and learn from them. It helps make us stronger and wiser individuals.
It is NEVER too late to make a U-turn. Even on the day of the traditional wedding, the coordinator of the trad rites/officiating Pastor asks both couples if they would like to change their minds. Do you think that part of the occasion is there for the fun of it?? No! It’s there for a purpose!
So please when next someone comes to you with such issues, remember these before playing God/relationship expert.
I have always advised people to follow their hearts while taking their heads along with them because at the end of the day, na dem sabi. I have my own life/relationship issues to focus on. One of the beauties of a relationship is in the freedom it gives.
Please stop “investing” in people if you are not prepared for any event where this person may not want you anymore. Whatever you do for a partner or a crush should be from the heart and free of charge or else it was never about love but for selfish interests. Simples!

Sanusi is a man of honour. Knowing him well he will present himself on his own.

There should be a law restricting poor people from getting married/having kids.

It's refreshing reading useful things like this about Igbos.

ThisMeansWAR:
lol yes ... I just gave you olubadan .. Google olubadan now ... He is almost a pastor self ..

My dear leave Pastor alone. Just mark my words, during his burial you will see all his children

ThisMeansWAR:
most yoruba christian kings have one oloris ... E.g olubadan ... I agreed that african s have not completely moved away from that expect few educated ones..

But this oni is educated, and also a christian I think ...

And all their kids are from the same woman? Chai! Na wa for you o.

Most Nigerian first class kings are more educated than some professors FYI.

dapsonlou:
Because he is now the head of all Yoruba Speaking People and the head of all the Yoruba king. He's a direct descendent of Odudua

Wow! That's rich! I thought the Alaafin of Oyo was just as powerful.

ThisMeansWAR:
the world has moved beyond that

The world, not Africa. Stop deceiving yourself.

Mention 5 African Kings with only one wife let's see. To make matters worse this one has only one child. A girl for that matter! My dear, leave that thing. Even if Kabiyesi does not marry again, EVEN IF, he will have mistresses that will bear him more kids.

Just one daughter?

Ha! My dear Olori start preparing for another olori soonest.

Ermmm. You can be sexy and decent at the same time. Sexy does not have to mean exposing excess flesh. In fact there's a difference between sexy and trashy.

Next time you see extreme headings like this try to read the whole post. Most times they are exaggerated.

This is a sensational heading.

Those weren't the exact words used. Haba! Sometimes I support this media bill............

arresa:
Fair write up, but a little off, incomplete picture and oversimplification.


Sure, investors look at the Nigerian capital factor, but the number one factor investors think and worry about before siting their investments is safety and security of their investments. The SW remains the safest and the most peaceful, progressive and conducive place to invest in Nigeria. Other factors are availability of skilled and educated manpower and also disposable income.

Lastly, leadership and their ability to seek and drum up investments via favorable terms, trade and investment summits.

Where was this analysis when Lagos hosts trade summits every year including Ehingbeti Economic summit.

Same with Ogun trade summit, Oyo state trade summit and SWITS/SouthWest Investment Trade Summit..

Investments doesn't drop from the tree, you have to work for it..

Investors wont jump into the North, SE/SS to invest anything because of insecurity and instability.

Many questioned Dangote for not investing in the SE, but the man is obviously not regretting his actions if intentional or not after witnessing the destruction of life and property including his own trucks in the SE last week.

Your brain is damn too hot.

Bevista:
And if reread what I wrote, you will notice "atleast untill another party emerges".

I'll be very glad to welcome KOWA or any other party as long as they will be formidable enough to provide a credible opposition.

And I'm saying it's better not to have opposition at all than to have a PDP-styled opposition. KOWA is already. Pay more attention to them and they will rise.

Bevista:
Even as a sympathizer to the APC cause, I would like to see PDP win Bayelsa state - why?
(1) Sylva didn't do too well in his first term so I doubt what he is coming to offer this time around. Dickson himself is a failure, I know.
(2) As much as I disliked Jonathan's government, I think it will be really embarrassing for him to loose his state.
(3) PDP needs to still hold a number states to have the capacity to offer credible opposition to the APC, atleast until another party emerges. The last thing Nigeria needs right now is another behemoth of a party, which usually leads to arrogance and complacency.

Oh puleeze. Spare me this "opposition" excuse. Nigeria can and will survive without PDP.

KOWA party is there.......

"American" lawyer my sexy ass.

Wait o!
Am I seeing the same set of people who started complianing about Buhari/APC not fulfilling this promise right from the first month now saying "empower youths instead of stipend?"

Now I understand why they call these people wailing wailers. Wallahi! I've never seen a more befitting name for a set of people in my life!

JAGABAN of the freaking universe!

This is the reason why Buhari gave him this post cos it requires a dare devil.
Ameachi my man, keep repping the ND. Nothing do you
