RightBoo:
For those quoting me and talking rubbish that Anambra use the ghetto word dee.
And those quoting just to express their frustration.

Please Anambra doesn't recognize the word dee in their Igbo dialect. #fact.

Di anti is not dee.
Di anyi in Igbo means our husband.

While people that says that dee was gotten from di anyi.
How does the meaning of dee which signifies elder has to do with di anyi which means "our husband" in Igbo.

If you say that Igbo's use dee is fine by me but don't generalise it.
Anambra doesn't recognize such but it can be considered having a meaning in Igbo language.

Ihiala axis use that word

i don't really care about that, I am a Nigerian and i love my country, my best friend growing up was igbo, the na calabar guy, my closes tfriends are benin, yoruba, kogi and one very funny crazy borno guy, they are Nigerians and have their roots here, their history, family and all, i don't have enough eneregy to dislike or hate an entire clan just because a few wants something or have done something or do bad things, trust me, every part of Nigerians have their good and bad. if you travel to Edo state, you would hear the benin taking ill of the esan and the auchis, travel down to the lagos, ogun or ibadan you would hear the ibadan man taking ill of the oyo man saying he is different from him and swearing to never being the same and they share the same state, go to ondo and you would hear how they talk about ekiti and osun, go to osun and you would hear and they dislike ibadan and ogun, go to the north and you would hear the kaduna man telling you the kano man is different, go to bayelsa, go to port haecourt, everyone has something bad or good to say about the others so what's all this dry excuse of hating ibos, i use to tease my best friend then saying, why una too like money for una place and he would be like, that one na their wahala, all he wants to do is write, rap, hit the gym and studios and talk about life and understand people and art, i am more of a psychological fellow so forgive my sense of broadness in not being shallow of looking at things from a tribalistic or religious perspective. good day every one

Nice post but who takes about that ....

don't just bring it up pls ...first we are igbo before Nigerians or something else and don't tell me that you dont have that sense that igbo are been mailgned and hated


But the igbo enjoy that because itbis the gate that make igbo prosper ...so


Having friends from all tribes doenst make any difference

3rdlegxxx:
I learnt something from this topic, a lot of Nairalanders are always so quick to insult and throw stones at igbos or ibos as it is spelt, but whenever there is a bad news, drug, pirates and all sorts and most people on here start to insult biafrans and igbos but now a beautiful child is achieving success and all of you are now using the same curse infected mouths to now appreciate and praise her, i fear who know fear Nigerians, one minute behind you supporting you, the next looking for a way to criticize or put you down, no real love between Nigerians. and just so you, i am not even igbo.

e

Igbo are their nemesis and enigmatic

prideofscience:
I summing she was born and raised up in Nigeria igbos state, D Dude wud hav not made that 1st class. she wud hv been contaminated by the Akiko blood of biafrauds.

1st class is our 2.1 in this part of Nigeria.

How many Igbo's girls had made 1st class and i will give 100 yoruba girls dt made first class in Nursing and medical lab tech since 2014 till date

Pristine stupidity

Omavik:
I'm a Nigerian sir,,and I appreciate beauty regardless of tribe or nationality... I don't care whether she's Igbo or Buzu,, all I know is,she's beautiful... Why u brought in tribalism is what I don't understand..

But she is still an igbo girl

Fulaman198:
A lot of it is brainwashing, lack of education and what's going on around us.

That's why Africa is so bleeped up

Kikero112:
As you are laughing....remember that we are in this situation because the other guys ....PDP.....forgot to save enough money in the account, and forgot to diversify our economy sufficiently.

And if they were STILL in charge .....they would be doing the same thing.

The elephant in the room is AUSTERITY.....and it remains to be seen whether Nigerians and the current government are ready to make that sacrifice.

So don't laugh. Seven months is hardly enough time to reverse the mess of four years of failure to save.....and of failure to properly diversify.

Nigeria must now work for its money.

Can we just stop blaming pdp and dwelling in the past and focus at the situation at hand

What is wrong with Nigerians ?

I am glad for two things
1. The oil prices is messed up so we can start thinking and all these nd shakara go stop
2.The man they voted has proved me right ...I said it ab initio that I didn't see any economic blueprint of APC tgt was during the campaign yet the gullible was shouting sir buhari...it is unfortunate that an igbo man will do the yeoman job for them at the CBN


It's just a simple thing ..close the economy and borders ...ban most edibles and unessasry imports then we start producing at home ..those things we can't ban on hey should be brought in in CKD parts ..but can they toe this line

The solution is basically a simple one ..fvck globalization, close your borders and produce at home
This is not a gworo chewing competition but a serious business



Why did they not employ

DGD1:
here comes my good friend in the cartalk section.

you know the manual would be very handy before trying anything on a new machinery you are not familiar with. because we have different types and engine designs, their plug location, system of oil drain etc are different.

haven't seen any of your posts of recent.
happy new year bro

Been on vacation so was kind of lazying and basking under the sun ..but we are just fine and doing fine bro ...how was your holidays also

Yes ..u can do the plug thing but kinda scared of oil drains ..I must say

Now what about a good Benz Mechanic ...possibly kompresor engine



Been a while bro

Fulaman198:
Not all, but those who really see the world for what it truly is will wake up. There are many enlightened Africans, but the brainwashed far outweigh the non-brainwashed

That's the problem with us

How can Africans be killing each other because of imported religion whereas the ownswr of the religion don't mind .

Such a shame

Religion is in the mind

wink2015:
[size=18pt]Let Nigeria learn to manufacture the things we need here in Nigeria and our currency will appreciate in the international market. Our market is flooded with too much chinese mobile phones, chinese radios, chinese rechargable lamp etc. This helps to drain Nigeria of its foreign exchange as so much of our money is going outside and less is coming in into our economy.

instead of chinese flooding our market with chinese products, let those chinese manufacturer set up manufacturing plants and assembling plants in Nigeria with Nigerians gainfully engaged to their workforce and we will see our economy growing and our naira appreciating in value.

Each of the 36 states of the federation must have a private sector driven industrial farms for modernised agriculture.

We must learn to eat what we grow and you will see our nations moving forward. There are so many under-utilized and un-untilized lands lying fallow all over the northern part and southern part of nigeria and we have a large number of graduate without jobs.

The national youth service corps should be re-organized to make corp members serve in industrial farms no matter your discipline.

The government in Nigeria must sustain it anti-corruption war to stop looters from draining our nations financially.

It is high time we review the cost of governance in Nigeria. We have too much wasteful structures in government that are increasing the cost of governance.

We should make laws to enable our national house of assembly ( senate and house of rep ) sit on part time including that of the state legislature in the 36 states of the federation.

I think it is a monumental waste to see a governors like Emmanuel Udom of Akwa Ibom states and senate minority leader Godswill Akpabio organise wasteful christmas carol night when a lot of akwa ibomites are without jobs.

We must go back to our senses and drastically curb wastages.

[/size]

They will tag the local products igbo made and tribalism will make them go and import

Ask innosson and hitv how far

babosky2008:
it is only in Nigeria , where govt supply foreign currency to bureau de change .we should stop dz illegal speculations and face the reality on ground.if you need $..and other forex .approach ur bank...u will definitely get it at the official xchange rate plus 5%commission on transactions . govt should withdraw all the bdc licences and declared their activities illegal.

Why won't govt supply them when its their people that run bdc

This is what you get when you allow tribalism to becloud logical reasoning

honmusa:
Dont blame them jo ,
an average mechanic in Nigeria is an artisan not even qualified to be called a technician ,they are at lowest cadre in Engineering family and are supposed to work under the supervision of mechatronics or mechanic engineer.
but when the average engineering graduate prefers the white collar jobs,banks etc and regard automobile repair as too crude and below his standard so the what do u want the artisans kazeems and co to do but to take over and kazeemilize as they want .
but u can supervise your mechanic and tell him what to fix after u must have diagnose the problem by using this wonderful equipment

Have you tropicalized your car lately ?

DGD1:
you guys are funny, always finding a way to defend incompetence.
I am a graduate of engineering(not mechanical) from a reputable federal university of technology, we took courses in elementary aspects of mechanical engineering upto 400l.

since when did draining oil and changing of plugs require ones specialization in automobile option in mechanical engineering.

Those are basic things ..I even do those on my car ..what I do is remove the wires at a time not all. Because it will confuse me ..then get a plug spaner off ubgo

But oil changing is a bit hard . depending g on the engine model especially Benz

Timileyin:
- A mechanic will remove your hand and replace it will white girl's hand and say "o ma sise (it will work, its stronger)".

- If you stay too long in the hospital, they will sell your eyes and claim you came eyeless.

- My mechanic would have done an operation and forgotten to return the heart.

- He would remove a kidney and claim its not important and useless in my system.

- When you're down, they'll give you 2 knocks on the head and try to start you.

- If you still don't respond, they'll clean dust off you, use a tools to hit your head, nose and heart and try to start you again

- If you're weak, they'll increase your heart beat to make you work faster,

- They'll remove all veins they come across while working, say its just a design and it's not really needed.




What do you think?

To be honest those guys r terrible


Who knows a good Benz Mechanic in Lagos ...around ikeja ....


I am just sick and tired of em...they will just kill a good car

Fulaman198:
Thanks my bro, but I believe with the advent of modern technology and the ability to read news, more and more people are becoming enlightened as to what is really going on. Africans won't be in the dark forever. Everyone has their day. We will one of these days reach there again.

Your absolutely correct but will African agree to be emancipatef?

Fulaman198:
I'm not as brainwashed as some of my Fulani brethren and trust me when I tell you I don't view Yorubas as less. I love all peoples of Nigeria. I love the Yorubas as well.

You are correct, Arabs do not regard us African Muslims at all in Saudi Arabia, and you know what, that's why I have no respect for the Saudis. Their land may be holy, but as a people, they are extremely rude and messed up. I don't respect them at all. I pay more respect to the Yorubas than I ever would to the Arabs of Arabi Saoudie. Arabs have never really liked Africans too much, that's just how it always has been. From the way they treat Nubians in Egypt to the way they think that Africans are not true Muslims. Yet, African Muslims are in my opinion (may Geno forgive me), better practising Muslims.

On Juma you would see Arabs pretending to be holy, then on other days, watch the way they behave. Some drink Alcohol, some go and have sex with many women, etc. etc.

Now i'm not the most religious man out there, but i'll tell you this, most people who practise their respective religion are hardcore hypocrites.

It is today that my admiration and the spect for you increased ...you are one Muslim that I have seen that calls a spade a spade and also from north

How I wish others will see that .

The first time I flew Emirates air ..I was drunk..too much brandy in the cabin same with ethihad

You are truthful ..pls be on that path

SEXUALISATION OF CHILDREN. (Esther Omowumi)



As I waited in the departure lounge of a local airport, I noticed there were many children about but it was understandablesince it was summer holiday. One other thing I noticed was the way most of the children were dressed. Most of them, especially the girls, were dressed in bum shorts, halter necks, cut off jeans, etc. The clothes in themselves weren't the issue per se; it was the overall look of the children that had me bothered. That was definitely not the first time I noticed it.A few months before, I had taken my kids to a birthday party and found myself in what could easily have been a night club for kids. Scanty clothing such as tight or very short clothes, bum shorts, long weaves, etc, seemed to be the dress code.

I noticed my daughter glancing around her, probably wondering, "What in God's world are these other children wearing?" Or something like that. Not long after, the kids were called out to dance to the hit songs of the season - these songs in my opinion should be rated PG13. 4-6 year olds trooped to the dance floor, miming the sexually explicit songs and gyrating their bodies in the most sensual manner. They could have given Beyounce a run for her money.They ran their hands over their bodies, shook their booties hard while their parents cheered them on. The boys had their upper shirts unbuttoned and rapped along perfectly to gangsta raps while doing flawless break dance.Those who danced like actual children where shooed off the dance floor while the lewd ones were cheered on. As I watched, my child stared out of this circle looking longingly at the others dancing. I knew it was time to leave. As we left, we went to a eatery where I bought themice cream and gently explained to them the concept of decency and dancing with decorum.Another time, at a game arcade for kids,


I ran into a lady who had made-up her kids' faces like they were mannequins for Tara or Mac beauty products. Their skirts were so tight, that running up and down the slide was uncomfortable for them. So the question is, why are we sexualizing our kids? Why does your 4, 6 or 9 year old girl have to look like a chick? Why does she have to be hot or sexy? Should your 8 year old son go around with a comb inhis hair and his pants sagged almost to his ankles?If your child wears bum shorts out of the house at age 3, why should she be expected to wear longer ones at 15? If she wears 2 rings and 12 bangles at 6, why won't she pierce a second ear hole at 17 and her bellybutton at 19?Why won't your son pierce his own ear at 15? Are you setting your children up to be immodest and indecent? What trend are you starting them on? That all these are fashionable or trendy doesn't mean it's ok.Some parents even dress their children like this to church.

Church!What are you teaching the child? What happened to children wearing dresses to church? Children can look very nice and decent, they can be well covered and still look good. In this age, when children are being abused, is it wise to make your child an object of anyone's sexual attention?When I hear some children belt out sexually explicit lyrics, Iask myself how they became exposed to this songs! As a parent, you can't play the CD of such songs and not expectyour children to pick them up; the same goes for watchingMtv Base, Channel O, etc with your children. Studies have shown that children exposed to a high level of sexually explicit information tend to become sexually active early. Is that your goal as a parent?

Being a Parent involves sacrifice. You will need to avoid listening to such music where your children are.Most of those lyrics demean women and teach your daughter that she's just a intimacy gadget and her body is for squeezing. It teaches the boys that money is everything and women are things to be used to satisfy their primal urges. These music introduces them to a degrading pop culture.Our children have their lives ahead of them, let's set them on the right path by teaching them to dress decently and sing nice or age-appropriatesongs.

Let your children be children. Train up a child in the way that s/he should go and when s/he is old, s/he would not depart from it.Do you agree that children are unnecessarily exposed to sexually explicit elements? Is it possible that some parents are victims themselves or is it that they don't know any better?

I don't know what I will say again they will dangle the ban on me ..but all I have to say is that we are in for a very long thing

One thing that makes me glad is that I wasn't sold a dummy and I never voted this APC gangs . .. And I did not vote Jonathan with his clueless tendency


Bubu is even worse ...I think he should resign and focus on cattle reading and sipping his kunu in old age and possibly giving us good recipe for gworo condiments .


He isn't cut out for intelligent discourse which he proved by evading debate ..now this is the mess they have put us in

I used to think that they said they will make dollar at par with naira



Well talk is cheap ..when you get to office on the backsof sentiment and emotions this is what you get


Those sai buhari crooners ..here we are

Nonsense

.....

NOW I AWAIT MY BAN WITH ALL DIGNITY. ITS HIGH TIME I RETIRED


GOD BLESS ME AND THOSE OF US THAT BELIEVW IN GOD


if you believe in APC abracadabra... You are on your own


Bullshit

Anybody can claim anything but when the project is done and ready ..we don't want to see people carrying placards around saying....well make I close mouth

1after:
[s][/s]

Little boy, You are just ranting. We are used to your chest beating, all this noise shows you are pained. Only fools and deluded chest beaters like you take you serious. The akpu dunce just learn the buzz off crap, reason you keep screaming the shit everywhere. Go sell your gala and stop splashing spit. Mugun

If mouth is what is used to achieve things ....your type would be building skyscrapers.. Well it ain't

I am done with u




Have a great day ..tired of lecturing u

1after:
Stop splashing smelly spit everywhere, i know you are pained. I should buzz off? You have still not stop drinking cheap stuffs, get well soon.

One hallmark of a person that lack any intellectual input in any argument is that he will leave the the subject matter and attack the individual

This is called fallacy of ad hominem.. I doubt if you have ever come across this term before. You see the effect of cheap education on you

Now buzz off

I will take u serious when you are a proud owner of a sq inch in the Atlantic city but for now

I Duff my cap for people that has stakes are there be it Yoruba ,igbo or any one

You are just e warrior that's where it ends


Now I have noticed you again

Buzz off

One thing about capitalism is that rich people buy up the choice places leaving indegenes to wretched places
Eg new York ..American Indians live in reservation
Now Lagos ...the rich are buying up the choicest property

It is not about the tribes its about the money you have

So claiming my tribe or anything without buying upbtye place is to me

Crazy

I

1after:
Anthony, So you have to insult his father cos of your enviness, do you know him? How are you sure he has no stake there. Stop getting drunk before coming online. Hows your wife and daughter?

You see the problem with you people ..when has asking a question become an insult ...the way you guys reason is funny. It is peoples fathers that have plot there and they are non Yoruba and Yoruba

My father doesn't have a plot there so I asked him if his father has a plot there . that is not insult it is a question

It's like somebody claiming that Lagos is their land yet the person has no half plot anywhere in Lagos

So how is Lagos is his land


We should learn how to reason


Now buzz off....its early in the morning

OgbeifunErom:
This Gladdens my heart!

While IPOB youths are disturbing the peace of the nation, the great Yoruba RACE is moving forward- steadily, surely and with resolve!

God bless Yorubaland

Do your father have stakes there ,is he building project there


Alll these Yoruba small boys seff

HopeAtHand:
Ezepromoe has said it severally that his mom is from Nnewi in Anambra. And he has been living in Nnewi from childhood.

His years of living in Igboland has probably skewed his senses. He is now a brainwashed Igbotic element.

That is if he is truly a Dieli Ikwerre in the first instance.

Ewu...do u realise how stupid you sound ..you are not ikwerre..all these Yoruba that was born in ph seff

Rose2014:
And he said he loves his Yoruba tribe like kilode but tell me why he has carefully avoided all Yoruba threads where he can address Yoruba issues and came to perch here since yesterday.

That is why I keep asking how these Yoruba people reason...it is so unfortunate


Now when I talk I am banned...now look at how they display their irrationality yet nupe is killing me

scholes0:
And why would they lynch someone for calling them Yoruba
Na so iIgbo people hate Yoruba reach?

But why would u call ugbodo Yoruba.does that sound Yoruba to u..they don't bear Yoruba names their culture and names igbo

Just go call them your ba and see

Just few days ago ...femi was telling me how he wish he is igbo
