Solsix: Yaradua was a good man, not a tribalistic and was fair to everyone. There was no fantastic lgovernor those days especially from the north unlike now. He was also looking for someone who is not corrupt.

.......
This story is partly true, but it's heavily dramatized and exaggerated, especially in its gruesome details. Let's break it down and separate fact from fiction or exaggeration.
✅ True or Mostly True Elements 1. Six Wives and Church of England True. King Henry VIII had six wives.
He created the Church of England (Anglican Church) after the Pope refused to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
This move began the English Reformation.
2. Obesity and Health Decline Mostly true. In his later years, Henry became very obese (estimates put him at around 300–400 lbs) and had a 54-inch waist.
He suffered from leg ulcers, which became infected and caused a foul odor.
These ulcers and obesity immobilized him, and he had to be carried around.
3. Jousting Accident and Personality Change True. In 1536, Henry had a serious jousting accident, was unconscious for two hours, and may have suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Afterward, his behavior became more erratic, paranoid, and cruel—which historians believe was at least partially due to the accident.
4. Anne Boleyn’s Execution Partly true. Anne was executed on charges of adultery, incest (with her brother, George Boleyn), and treason. Most historians believe these charges were fabricated.
Five men were executed alongside her — but whether she watched their executions is unclear. There’s no solid evidence she was forced to watch them.
❌ False or Exaggerated/Misleading Elements 1. “Walking corpse” and flesh falling off Highly exaggerated. Henry was in poor health, yes, but there is no historical record that his flesh literally fell off or that he was trailed by people mopping it up.
2. Coffin exploding Partially true. After Henry’s death, his coffin reportedly leaked fluids, possibly due to decomposition.
A 17th-century writer claimed dogs licked it up — but that account is likely apocryphal, written decades after his death and should be taken with caution.
3. “Dogs licking remains off the street” Dubious. This is a myth from later anti-Tudor or Protestant sources. There’s no credible historical evidence to support this.
4. Open sores so foul servants fled Exaggerated. The ulcers were very unpleasant, and he likely smelled bad, but descriptions of servants gagging and fleeing are likely sensationalized.
📚 Conclusion The core facts about Henry VIII’s reign, health decline, and cruelty are true.
However, the grisly, horror-movie-style descriptions (exploding coffin, flesh falling off, dogs licking remains) are exaggerated or mythologized, often used to make his story more dramatic for modern readers.

foodlum: Dude shoulda been made this move years ago. He definitely is Hollywood material....if he has the right agent to properly market and strategically position him. We once sat beside each other on a Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta to Lagos. I had no idea who he was then. But he was a cool and fun dude to hang with. Very magnetic and playful personality. He introduced himself and kept trying to explain he is the dude known as Nino in Nollywood. I have never been into Nollywood. So i didn't recognize nor have a clue. But we had so much fun flirting with the beautiful Delta Airlines flight attendants all the way to Lagos. We exchanged numbers and he encouraged me to call him so he could take me round the fun spots in Lagos and show me a good time. Somehow I never followed up and eventually lost his number....
[/color]but, this opinion of yours hold contrast to the position of the igwes in the south east, when they rejected Oni of ife as the permanent chairman of traditional rulers in Nigeria [color=#770077]
[/color]is that Ur personal orientation or that of Igbos generally [color=#770077]
Adaisback: I don't know why people are just hating on my people for nothing.
This is how we catch our cruise o. It's not like that title is anything much. We don't see it as a big deal. Him go dey Waka for road, me I go dey Waka for the sane road , I might not even notice it and he too does not even care.
So everybody should chill. It's nothing important. We are not some other tribe that carry kingship for head like gala.
Even as I dey here, I no even sabi the king of my village, if I see him on my way sef, I no go kneel or bow to greet him, I might just hail or call his nickname and continue on my way no be lack of respect. It's very simple, Igbo enweghi eze ( Igbo got no king ) and onye obuna bu eze na be ya ( all man is king in his homestead )
[/color]did you even listen to your leader's (Nnamdi) comment on Amotekun creation, saying it's a laudable feat and that he will also initiate the Eastern security outfit?[color=#770077]
RollinTNDA: ESN walked so that AMOTEKUN could fly ESN started it and others followed
I remember when ESN first started They were heavily ridiculed and critizied Now every state is following their model.
Akeredolu wife is from imo state You can see how she inspired Akeredolu to create Amotekun for Yorubas the same way igbos created ESN
Betty Akeredolu low-key influenced a lot of Akeredolu decision in govt.
Igbos are trend setters Tho they lack the cohesion and are easily targeted with Federal might. They are truly 4 steps ahead into the future
ESN might have been politically destroyed but there imprint on AMOTEKUN will ever live long. God bless AMOTEKUN!!! ESN has been in existence since 2020 Operating as local vigilantes without support They weren't Official like Amotekun that got full state support and funding.
That is why I said Igbos have the Fore sight But lack the unity and cohesion to carry it
They decided to make it Official late Dec 2022 Doesn't mean they didn't exist before then They existed but came out officially Dec 2022 They have been in operation way back to 2020
[/color]both sides are not sincere [color=#770077]
thatigboman: this story is very disjointed. so an army man walked into amotekun office and made rude remarks about them just like that. that's not possible. even police cant do that talkless of army people that are disciplined. and a group just stopped another amotekun, that heavy as that man is, and beat him to death. and u say it's same army man that visited the office earlier. what is going on?
[/color]is like the whole world is against these people, something is really wrong with the culture, they need cultural and value reorientation [color=#770077]
