obonoma? are you really sure u know where u are even talking about? I'm from abonema, and it's on the same island as Obonoma, we speak entirely the same thing, and we are in the same local govt, and belong to the same clan/sect/family...and we have nothing to do with your brand of Degema that u speak of, I don't know the Usokun and Atala people at all as this is even my first time of hearing about them so I can't speak on them...Degema is entirely Kalabari...and as all Kalabari's we never agree/admit that we are Ijaw the same way Ikewerre people never admit/agree that they are Ibo...but We all belong to the Ijaw Nation

pazienza: Degema LGA, is not the same as Degema group. I am well aware of the fact that there are Kalabari groups that are present in Degema LGA.
But when i say Degema, i mean the Atala people, Obonoma and Usokun people, and not the Ijoid people that found themselves in Degema LGA. Thanks.

anyway, I'm Kalabari, and for a long time I've heard arguments and counter arguments that either Kalabari's are not Ijaw, or Kalabari's are the real Ijaws...but either ways, I'm so proud of my heritage, history and ancestry...we all about Love, Peace and all out enjoyment for any kind of celebration, birthdays, Marriages, funerals, even celebrations that are uncalled for like "Go to Niger" (that's a carnival that celebrates the anniversary of our defeat to the Nigerian forces during the civil war) I always wondered why that was celebrated with so much crowd and funfare...we sure do not like to be cheated or marginalised out of what we think should be our rights( which should explain the Asari Dokubo led uprising in 2006), we have a very beautiful diverse choice of tasty sea food, as well as very lovely women, examples are Agbani Darego and Damiete Charles-Granville, who were beauty queens.... I wish I could host maybe 1 or 2 nairalanders from the north and Southwest for a chirstmas week, so you guys should know that there really is no party like a Kalabari party in Nigeria...okay I think I have talked too much bye bye

but Degema is part of the Kalabari Kingdom, and the Kalabari kingdom is part of the Ijaw Nation, infact Degema local govt contains degema, Harry's town, Bakana and Tombia...these are purely Kalabari towns that speak only the Kalabari language...so how is Degema not Ijaw?

pazienza: 1. Andonis are not Ijaws, they are not even Ijoid, they are a distinct group of their own, but if any big ethnic group is to claim them, then it's the Ibibio/Efik/Annangs, as Andoni language is closest to theirs. Andoni language has few Igbo words and little or No Ijaw ones. Ijaws should stop mistaking having a riverine/fishing culture for being Ijaw.

2. Nobody is talking about Ikwerres here, however, it's an established fact that Ikwerres speak an Igboid language. We can't say the same of Andoni and Ijaw.

3. Opobo remains an Igbo speaking town,and it's citizens had resisted every move to Ibanize them,by the then Ijaw controlled Rivers state government.

4. Have no resentment for the Ijaws, i am just happy that they have at last accepted the fact that neither the Degemas nor the Andonis are Ijaws.

5. I dont remember bringing Igbo into the thread, just stated the sacred facts.

Thank you.

but everyone who feels corrupted by it has a choice not to watch it... You don't like it for any reason, don't subscribe to it...simple

cegxie: Big Brother Africa.... Corrupting the minds of the followers in the name of reality show since the word go... This time the ground will open and swallow the house. (Earthquake)

simple, then don't watch it...

madridguy: I hate the porn show.

SA with it's high crime rate and his disability as well, makes him have a need to carry a firearm should in case a burglar breaks into his home and his legs are far from him and he can't run...his only option then would be to defend himself with the firearm...but his shooting of his babe is just something nobody can really explain

NairaMode: Funny thing a bout this case is if it were an ordinary citizen anywhere in the world, the case wouldn't take this long.
It's so painful that with the guys challenges and the wealth that the Almighty God gave to him and his talent, this is what would eventually become of his faith.
What did he need a gun for in the first place?

My guess is the girl broke the news that she was calling the relationship quit. Nigga was embittered and pop pop he shot the soul. Framed all the screams and kept giving different lies upon lies during the trial. Cried several times to connect with the jury's emotions and the world over but in the end justice prevailed.

Law and justice is a little tricky. Who agrees with me that this guy may actually not be guilty but in law they deal with evidences, circumstances and witnesses account.
I recommend a book titled: "A certain justice" by PD James. Ohhh!!! When I used to read novels.

Do you know the meaning of "oozing sex appeal"?

did you even read the news content at all? Is He dead? lol Nigerians...smfh

ochilikoko: Does this country worth dying for? Anyway, May his soul and d souls of all others who died at d course of bringing peace to Nigeria rest in perfect peace. Amen.

and why should she split the money with you? Can you point out a single contribution you made to her winning the money in the first place?

FranckJay: None of our business she won't split the money with us

babeonline: What happened to fappiing?!?!?!

They don't know...fap is life

stev4luv: What we need to be doing now is to be praying for them that God should intervane.

I never finish to pray for myself, na multi millionaire I wan pray for?

After serving as a chief of army staff? Why would any self respecting General stoop as low as wanting to become his state governor? That's retardation in growth, nobody should wish or hope that upon him, he has achieved way higher than that office

Bliss4Lyfe: Dey said dey will take Ihejirika to Hague but no one thought it will be for sponsoring terrorism.


Ihejirika will win Abia State come 2015 convincingly.

everyday I pray that Sirus Black is alive, as He is the only connection I've had to the battle field via this forum, he may, if he can, please confirm that he is still alive... thats not too much to ask... Long live Sirus Black, long live the Nigerian Army, long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria

lol blad, woke up this morning at the girl's house to see her wedding pics on the wall, she reminded me that she told me she was married(which i forgot) and told me it's not a good idea to see me again and blocked me on whatsapp lmao

MrCork: . ..nice one bro...ithe rain messed it uo. .also ended up wit a 52 years old lady last nite was u was shocked when she offered me in £200 afterwards..she said we should keep in touch. Worst of all,she said she was married

MrCork: ..zup bro...yesterday was the children's carnival but today,Monday,is the main one. It finishes around 7.pm but make sure u land around.2pm. Come out at Holland park station or notthinghill gate station...ir will be crowded though. Once u get out of the station, ask any policeman for the direction to adela street....that's the Nigerian corner..u will see all 9jas ...afro beat section.. But take note..while u walking down,u will see the carnival....i beg...hold yo wallet tight and keep some stand by money in yo inner pocket..make sure u wear trainers so u can move around easily. ..my advise, don't spend too much time in the Nigerian section coz they r boring..juss posing...u will not press any nyansh..spend about 30 mins there and then always make sure u ask the police for directions coz too many side street. Alternatively. If u see anyone carrying Nigerian flag..roll with them... People. Hav already started heading there and am on ma way...remember..make sure u adj any police for directions...they. R very good.

this muthafucka always looking irritating as Bleep...always chewing on that stick, some guy on an American talk show called it the mohammed stick, smh

MrCork: Romantic pictures comin soon...goin to put on my track suit....get ready!

yo Mr. it's gonna be my first time today, please around what time would be early enough, I come in from Milton Keynes and my train is for 2 would that be too late?

omenka: Yeah, 30 snipers to keep tabs on the General and possibly eliminate him when the time is right without missing their target again!!!

We got our eyes on you. Mr President!!

let's assume Buhari gets killed, what would you be able to do about it, other than come on nairaland to moan about it for a few days?
eyes on Mr. President indeed

smurfy: @Yemisi63, Why mention a respectable church like Deeper Life in your satirical write-up? And why did you lie about being born again when it's obvious you aren't?

Why not just shut up when you have nothing sensible to say?

lool die in poverty

They are all beautiful courses. But employers would rather go for someone with a degree in Civil engineering than most of those courses. They are great when you have it at masters level.

Can Sirus Black please confirm that he is still alive, please he must not die

nassyblue: But they were coming from camp now.

How's that supposed to make a difference?

I wish Sirus Black was here, what can be said about amnesty international video showing the NA supervising some ISIS style executions in borno on some suspected boko haram members

well, you don't know that...Russian weaponry isn't on display

Nobleval: All of 'em are mere toys to Russia.

and you all don't even know what else they have in store for future military aerial combat, I just feel sorry for whoever those bad babies would be used on

at the farnborough air show

You forgot the Euro fighter

thats the point, it can never get shot down, never be detected by any radar, flies at more than 3 times the speed of sound, so u only know a jet passed over you a long time after its gone...

Rikidony: damm dats too expensive.... u mean a jet gose for 2billion dollar and what if it get shot down.....
at least we have the Alfa jet

the generator fumes would kill you sooner or later, you better take it away by yourself even if it means him not having light, or would you like to sleep one day never to wake up again?

I've been following this thread for a while now, I commend Sirus Black for the good Job, I want to ask a question, about the video going round showing boko haram members beheading an air force personnel... please, for the sake of his family, do all you can to completely massacre every terrorist you can set your eyes on, even if the terrorist is underaged... please...

kheedir: Just heard it now! Its along Isa Kaita road/Alkali road, where dia is a high traffic due 2 d closing Tafseer of Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi! May ALLAH protect us all. Ameen

Allah don't protect nobody bruh...
