Sorry for her.
UK system is self regulating but any system can be exploited and manipulated.
She's just a victim of the system because the other white people are doing the same thing but they cover for themselves.

God bless you for this. People in this industry do this on the daily. Not saying it's right, but she is being made a scapegoat because she's a foreigner.

The rot and criminal dysfunction in Tinubu's government is reminiscent of Abacha's government.

Pasto Chris, goan heal Tinubu so dem go comot those French batteries wey dey work am replace am with holy ghost heart.

Nigerians can be emotional sha.




You all forget how Napoli and fans have overpampered Osimhen. Suddenly, you accusing the same club and fans of being racist.




Instead of being emotional, why not look at the stats. Osimhen could not even win 2 duels out of 10. At least if you don't score, make attempts to show some efforts.






If this was how Messi played for Barca in his early days, you think he would be the football god he is today?





I don't understand why we like to encourage inconsistency in our players. Messi and Ronaldo who played consistent good football for years have two heads abi? Are they not human beings?





Osimhen should better make improvements for his own sake. If he wants to write his name in gold, he should start realizing that African Best Player award is not the limit for him. He should charge himself to win everything there is to win in football, even if he ends up not winning them. He should at least try.

I don't think Osimhen is fully fit. For their last three or four games he's had to train alone, focusing on muscle recovery. Even now he trains apart from the team because of nagging muscle issues. It has affected his ability to outpace defenders. He should be rested for at least 3 games.

Do you like being caressed on the first day of a relationship?


Wouldn't you have felt violated if your privates were fondled by a total stranger?


Why handle a pet on its first day?


If you were the pet owner; would you have felt happy seeing a total stranger playing with your pet?

My friend recently returned from Bangui, CAR, last week, to attend his mother’s funeral (she was struck by lightning), only to be told he had to make a life pact with a crocodile, just like his mother did, before he could bury his mother. According to him, when his mother was a child, a bottle of blood was drawn from her left arm, and left limb of a captured crocodile, mixed together with some ritual herbs, and ritual stones, then fed to his mother and the crocodile.
The crocodile was released back into the wild. It is a longevity ritual, according to him. The human will live as long as the crocodile.
He said in his village---he is Igbo---they believe that crocodiles in the wild live to be around 100 years. If anything happens to the crocodile, the human feels it. The human can never die unless the crocodile dies. His mother was 63, and would have been 64 this year. They think the crocodile was also struck by lightning and that’s why his mother was struck by lightning too.
He does not want to do this ritual, because he does not believe in it. Why would anyone put their life in the hands of an animal which a hunter can kill any time?
The elders say his mother cannot be buried unless he does the ritual, to continue the omenala in his family. His father is late.
Is anyone familiar with this ritual? What can he do to get out of it? He wants to fly out but does not want to leave his mum unburied. Help!!!

Modecaih:
Tell your friend to embrace Christ,,he is our refuge and strength

He should tell the elders that?

Goodnewsforlife:

They were so certain that his mum will live up to 100 years, yet, couldn't be so sure what happened to the crocodile, and now they are guessing Mr Crocodile could have been struck by lightning also.

Abeg, wetin be the name of this village?

This is economic and mental terrorism. EFCC where una dey?

Savages and barbarians.

But the Yoruba in Ondo have a similar tradition:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzoSIGSRyUI

mrcrabs:
As long as it is tradition he should not run away, he has to tackle this because it will still come back and bite him if left unsolved, he can speak to an elder that he is close to to ask if there is a way around this issue and also this is the time he has to be close to his pastor or anyone he holds as his spiritual backing.

remember this tradition has been in existence for along time and it wont be changed because his mom died. so let him ask questions ,the mistake he will make is to take his mom somewhere else to bury.

let him ask questions and be spiritually vigilant.

This Youtube link shows that the Yoruba in Ondo have a similar tradition.

He should gives me money and leaves her mother unburied... As he is now, he cannot marry; and if he has married, he would soon be buried alongside who he married...

Jewessgratitud3:
The things people dip their hands into in the name of tradition. Why didn't she live up to a 100 years again?

Your friend should use his number six if he doesn't want to end up like him Mom.

Long life is only assured in Christ.

chival:

In addition to what you've written, I have not heard of any so called ritual where a human life is bound with an animal's in Igboland. Neither have I heard of any part of Igboland that has that belief about crocodiles. If there is, it might be in Abia or Imo state. I haven't heard of it though. I am Igbo and well versed in Igbo culture. There's more going on here than what has been stated.

This is in Abia state. I hear Aguiyi Ironsi did the same ritual.

Unseen:


That's why I said mention LGA not the town...

Leaving out the town will protect his privacy while mentioning the LGA will let the Igbos here know if this is another tribal attack or the truth

I believe Umuahia. If you know where Aguiyi Ironsi grew up.

marsup:
Please I don't know the process, I wasn't interested so I didn't ask further questions. I do know that, the Japanese are very traditional and voodoo inclined.

Hmmm interesting.

shortgun:
I am very knowledgeable on the cultures and traditions in every part of Igboland and I can tell you that your friend has not told you the full story or real reason why he must perform that ritual. Nobody in any part of igboland will force anyone to take part in traditions or rituals he/she doesn't want to . Traditions are very much practiced but it's optional these days as you can choose to partake or not to.

I don't think he is holding back.

marsup:
The Japanese do something similar with Tortoise. (Older generation).
At the end, it boils down to one's beliefs.

Didn't know this. Can you describe the Japanese process please? Do they draw blood?

DeepThroater:
Heathen savages

He's not a savage.

Unseen:


Which part of Igbo land?
At least mention the LGA.... 🤷

To what end? How would this help him? I'd like to protect his privacy as far as I can.

FinidiGeorge:

Na for your friend to go find one Ezenmo or Ezenwanyin to help cancel the crap! I know one beautiful Ezenwanyin wey I see one time like that for Facebook.

Give me the Ezenwanyi contact please.

You are insane. You confuse me for your father. Google might help you idiot. Who was Jared Kushner before Trump became President? A spoilt nobody who married Trumps daughter. You better be sure before you come to a Nigerian forum to talk nonsense you think we are as stupid as you and all your family members here?

https://www.brookings.edu/articles/president-trumps-ultimate-deal-to-end-the-israeli-palestinian-conflict/

You're a goofball. An absolute fruitcake. Previously you were arguing FOR tRump and now you're so brain-damaged from my takedown you forget what side you're on? What a dumbf-ck.

Trump Children de run the Presidency sef and de enter deals for America for that matter. Wetin be travel? Let’s focus on moving the country forward and not looking for any small thing to use to bring down our country.

Even Biden drug addict son de do rubbish and nonsense even de collect bribe almost finish him papa presidency.

Uneducated, piss-poor, internet rats with their woo-woo takes again. Trump was heavily criticized by the country for employing his son-in-law, Jared, in the White House. And his kids did no deals for America, because they were not authorized to, and do not work for the American government. It was his daughter in fact who got plenty patents for HERSELF from the Chinese government as a result of her father's influence.

chieveboy:


You sound like an old man . Did you hear of a popular Eckist back in the day by name Ben Anyaeji? He used to discuss Eck on TV and Newspaper.

Not quite. When I was a kid in the late 80s I'd see posters on the wall with the words: ECKANCKAR. WHAT IS IT?
