Their end is near






Over to you Righteousness89 .. What's your say on this

that one will talk a lot of rubbish looking for Likes

I want to create this post in order to disabuse the minds of nairalanders on the misconceptions about much-talked about igbo bride prices.
Contrary to the belief that igbo bride prices run into millions, the bride prices are usually a token. In my hometown in Arondizuogu, Imo State, it is about N200.

The misconception arises from the list given to family of the intending groom. That list is far different from the bride price.
Different people in igboland give different lists in igboland for the different groups in the village they come to marry - the daughters of the family (my 2 year old children get their shares in my place), the women, the youths and the elders. And there are options. You either bring the items or bring the money. Example, u can go to a community and they ask you to bring 10 big yams, another can ask for 20 kegs of palm wine, others can ask for coconut. And youths in my place must ask for a roll of cigarettes, benson or rothmas. And the groom has an option, either to buy them and bring according to specifications or just drop money.

Buying the items usually bring problem. U can buy 10 big yams, and they tell u that it is only 2 that are big, you have to pay for the other 8 'small ones'. U can buy Life and Hero drinks, and they say no, one must be Star, so some people will prefer to pay cash and will be taxed heavily.
All in all, all the issues will be settled, so no worries.

let other igbos and other nairalanders contribute.

Goodman247:
It is only in imo that you will see this type of thing, because of huge bride price, you people should lower your bride price

bride price in igboland is not up 5,000. In my hometown, it's not even up to 3000 naira

donbachi:
The bride price must be in millions.even at dat e no reach to fight.

which million? Trust me it would not be up to 5,000 naira.

I condemn this bombing, I condemn it, I condemn it.

I think its time Wike ejects all ibos from Rivers state.

They cant leave there lands and come forment terror in Rivers state.

Im glad that the world can now see that ipobs are deadly terrorist groups.

A house to house search should be carried out by the military in PH.

Any home where any form of ipobs material or emblem is found should be demolished including shops.

Nonsense

Rivers is igboland

Juliusmalema:
This issue of using SE to quantify what happens in one state is a media stupidity.

Quack Journalism.

The 30 seconds video of about 240mp has now turned to Political zone smoking.

Ndi SE crew

God bless you

gideonite98:
You shouldn't have responded to the dimwitted fool.
Those forest people were killing the people of ife,raping the women,slaughtering the men and taking them as slaves before moremi was able to learn their tricks and they fought those that came to their land and finally decided to invade those forest people.
So the fool will be happy if they succeeded in killing all the ife people,right?
Saying moremi should not be celebrated....kai dummits plenty for this country.

what year was that?

Iamgrey5:
Moremi is the person that saved ife from constant raid by people of the ugbo

Ugbo being the Ilaje of today.

She revealed the secret of the Ugbo people to Ife.

Ugbo or Igbos? The story confirmed that igbos had been ile ife since oduduwa fell from the sky

Rest in peace to them
We were born to die
And death is only the beginning
The only prayer we should be praying as real niggarrrs is for us to smoke enough weed, bang enough pussy, drink enough bottles, make some dope money and seek for little knowledge before we die

Shebi them say na 35 years of service or rather if you dey 65 years before you retire....how are we sure say he don serve the 35years...because he old! Probably na poverty and suffering make am old

60 years, not 65

ethicallyright:
In my two decades of living in this world as a Nigerian, I have known only four Nigerian First ladies.

---

Late Stella Obasanjo was a pretty face and a very beautiful woman physically. I don't know much about her contribution to government but I remember my mum loved her (of course pretty women admire each other). Towards the end of 2005 , 5 years old me watched her funeral service on TV and looked at my mum cry. Her funeral and "Joy Joy Joy" music video by Destined Kids are the only TV scenes I can recall from that year. I think Stella failed as a first lady and feminist to teach young women to be comfortable in their skins and not alter their bodies to keep a womanizer attached. She's my second best first lady.

---

Turai Yaradua was first lady around the time I just started secondary school. I remember things like the 7-point agenda of her husband who was short-lived (Good people leave fast). Turai was a power broker, a one-woman cabal and later married her academically sound daughters with huge industrial potentials as 3rd and 4th wives to men older than the Late Yaradua. Not a good role model to young African girls at an epoch in human civilization where girls are breaking records in various industries. She ranks 4th and last according to my judgement.

---

Aisha Buhari is a very pretty woman, one of the prettiest first ladies in the world without cosmetic enhancements. However, her points dropped as she is also the only first lady who engaged in brutal physical fights and destruction of properties at the government house. It is unethical for the wife of the president to be caught fighting , throwing harmful objects and breaking house appliances on camera. She is not a good role model for young women and young marriages in a period where humanity is United in the fight against domestic violence. She ranks third based on my assessment.

---

Dame Patience Jonathan ranks first and is on top because she continued her job as a permanent secretary despite her husband's affluence which makes her an inspiration to young women and families where both wife and husband must be breadwinners. She was real, was confident in her physicality and sympathized with victims of humanitarian crises. Her famous "THERE IS GOD O" exclamation is gold and reminds listeners of what a mother should be and what a mother's love is.

Sad thing is that she married a clueless man who neglected his own people. Kudos to President Buhari for working hard to restore NIGERIA's place in the league of Sane climes.

how much will u bepaid for this your disinformation post? U are less than 25 yrs of age and are there insulting your grandfathers agemate. Shame on u

backbone503:
I believe you understand that "kitchen cabinet" are a set of people/aides that live and work very closely with the President. It has to be people personally well known and trusted.

u are a big liar. When obasanjo formed his kitchen cabinet, did he personally know el rufai or ieeala or oby ezekwezili or soludo?

helinues:
50k is what you called paltry? Though we are yet to authenticate this latest development but if you can not fear God, try and fear devil small

by we, u mean your BMC crew?

HOLYSEE:
All 5 of my employees got their 30k each plus another 30k to the Business Account.
Those of us that own business that pay people knows what this gesture of the govt is. And for three months, Abeg let's give them credit when due and criticise when necessary. God be praised
BTW
Abobi Abeg no sesemense come my depot the yarn Akamu without Akara Abeg.

nice. U guys should stay well and spend wisely

Miracle2020:
how many Yoruba or Hausa do you have in Anambara government house? Rubbish!

how many igbos do u have in osun government house?

Nigeriabiafra80:
This is just a gimmick drama that only arouse their manhood
Even their immediate family can attest how inconsequential they are
SSA to president who listen to advice or what

channels asked Abaribe of buhari's aides that are igbos. And he asked then 'can any of them tell buhari this or that?' They are just inconsequential civil servants

Coronabirus:
and u said SSAs are not taking part in decision making?
President always seek the versict of Senior special assistants in his decision making. Many people in Nairaland comments with poor knowledge of governance.
Which fool President will involve betrayals among his service chiefs especially military?

Sir, na lie you lie. The president doesnt know of the existence of those SSAs.
Watch the West Wing, the president's inner circle are just about 5 or 6.

DesChyko:
Special Assistant upandan.
Whatever that means.

means nothing. Buhari doesnt know that any of them exist

This country is hopeless, enough said. RIP to our heroes
