Ramnon2: Nigeria in Diaspora contests city council election in Norway News Wednesday, September 16, 2015
By Emeka Aginam
Effort to make Nigerians leaving in diaspora to be part of international polity has started yielding the expected result as a Nigeria born Norwegian Peter Obiora Nwafor, an IT consultant is set to win city council election for Christian Democratic Party in Bergen ,Norway’s second biggest city.
Speaking in a world press conference yesterday whileunfolding his road-map, Nwafor, an Anambra indigene from Isuofia, in Aguata local government said that he was chosen by Christian Democratic Party to be the party’s prospective council candidate based on his promising resolve to make a difference in governance.
He assured that his mandate, if elected, would be to implement the party’s policies and programmes accordingly." I was chosen by Christian Democratic Party to be the party’s prospective council candidate and was also popular for my campaign for inclusiveness, inclusive labor market with equal opportunities and rights for all.”
Continuing, he said that his campaigns also encompassed a “strengthened bilingual education, good tuition for all; accepting more refugees in Bergen, increased resources for introduction of centers for refugees and immigrants, increase state housing allowance, support initiatives that gives children from poor families opportunity to participate in cost demanding activities, tax exemption and good working condition for volunteer organization among others" he explained.
Meanwhile, Norway is a country of about 5 million people, administratively divided into 19 counties (fylker) and a further 430 municipalities (kommuner).There are national elections in odd years, alternating between the national and the local levels. The national voting age is 18, but this year 20 municipalities will conduct an experiment with voting rights for 16 year old

Culture › 10 Benefits Of Kissing by tonychristopher(op): 6:32pm On Sep 17, 2015 |
Albert Einstein said that “Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.” Forget about disease transmission, for a kiss is truly a pleasurable thing and Einstein has to say that it is special. But it is more than that; kissing has several benefits, especially to the health and well-being of a person. Here are ten benefits of kissing (specifically a kiss between lovers):
1. Kissing burns calories. Not that kissing is the ultimate fat-burning activity! But kissing can burn as much as 2 to 6 calories a minute. It may not be much, but two hours of continuous kissing can burn calories equivalent to one pound steak. It can also double your metabolic rate. Research claims that three passionate kisses a day (at least lasting 20 seconds each) will cause you to lose an entire extra pound! It’s time to start that kissing diet!
2. Kissing tones the face and strengthens facial muscles. You use 30 muscles while kissing and the smooching helps keep the checks tight, preventing them from being baggy and loose. A torrid French kiss exercises all the underlying muscles of the face. The tension in the muscles caused by a passionate kiss helps smooth the skin and increases the circulation.
3. Kissing is a known stress-reliever. Passionate kissing relieves tension, reduces negative energy and produces a sense of well being, lowering your cortisol “stress” hormone. Kissing is also like meditation. “Kissing is an exciting excursion into the sensual,” says psychologist and clinical sexologist Joy Davidson. “If we happen to be connecting with someone we care about, it produces a sense of well-being and a kind of full-bodied pleasure.” Hence, a kiss can suppress anxiety and produce physiological changes that meditation can do.
4. Kissing is also good for the heart, as it creates an adrenaline which causes your heart to pump more blood around your body. Frequent kissing has scientifically been proven to stabilize cardiovascular activity, decrease blood pressure and cholesterol.
5. Kissing is relaxing. According to scientists, kissing can increase the oxytocin and endorphin levels. Oxytocin is the body’s natural calming chemical while endorphin is the fell-good chemical. The endorphins produced by kissing are 200 times more powerful than morphine. Swapping spit is also noted to increase dopamine, which aids in feelings of romantic attachment.
6. Kissing helps flush out bacteria. During kissing, the extra saliva washes bacteria off the teeth, consequently helping break down oral plaque. This means kissing can help prevent tooth decay and cavities. During a kiss, natural antibiotics are also secreted in the saliva. Furthermore, the saliva contains a type of anesthetic that helps relieve pain.
7. Kissing boosts immunity. All that swapping spit exchanges germs, too, which forces your body to produce antibodies to prevent you from getting sick. It’s like getting a vaccination, so keep the kisses coming in order to keep you healthy.
According to the study by the journal Medical Hypotheses, kissing can increase women’s immunity from Cytomegalovirus. This virus is transmitted through mouth to mouth contract and can cause infant blindness and other birth defects if the mother is a carrier during pregnancy. However, it is relatively harmless for adults. Thus, kissing can be a way to pass along bugs, thereby strengthening the body’s defenses.
8. Kissing is a “mate assessment tool” as described by anthropologist Helen Fisher. The most sensitive feelings can be picked up by the lips, cheeks, tongue and nose. Out of 12 cranial nerves, five of them are picking up information from around the mouth. Thus, you can really hear, see and feel the person you are kissing. Kissing is not anymore just a “kissing” activity, but more of an expression of who you are, what you want and what you can give.
Moreover, kissing has been viewed by many researchers as biology’s way of determining which people are most compatible with genetically. “At the moment of the kiss, there are hard-wired mechanisms that assess health, reproductive status and genetic compatibility,” says Gordon G. Gallup Jr., a professor of evolutionary psychology at the State University of New York at Albany. “Therefore, what happens during that first kiss can be a make-or-break proposition.”
9. Kissing can relieve allergies. In a research conducted in Japan, it has been shown that kissing can lower down the body’s allergic reaction to pollen. “What they did was study the blood levels of IgE, an allergy antibody before and after 30 minutes of kissing their partner,” Dr. Lynda Kabbash of Harvard Vanguard said.
Researchers say kissing also helped relieve symptoms in patients with dermatitis, a skin condition triggered by allergies.
10. Kissing keeps you younger. This is an after effect of exercising your facial muscles and toning them through kissing. The relaxing effect of kissing can also help fight out stress and you will remain happy and younger-looking. Likewise, kissing improves self-esteem. It makes you feel appreciated and helps your state of mind.

Family › 8 Things Men Will Always Find Attractive In Women (true Version) by tonychristopher(op): 6:00pm On Sep 17, 2015 |
1. Wide hips
Wide hips are a sexually dimorphic trait. During puberty, women’s hipbones widen to facilitate childbirth. Hips don’t lie—wide hips in a woman are a strong signifier to men that she’s a mature adult who’s very much capable of reproduction. (She can push out little critters with ease.) Since we men are all about putting our seed in fertile ground, it’s not uncommon to see us fawning over Iggy Azalea and her ilk’s “parted like the Red Sea” hips.
2. Big, full, and red lips
Big, full, and red lips are a strong sign of good genetic quality. Full lips are often a sign that your jaws have grown correctly without misalignment—a very good indicator of genetic health. It’s no coincidence that people who have a perfect teeth and a perfect bite often also have full lips. But what of the redness? Lipstick doesn’t exist in nature, so why would men find red lipstick attractive? When women apply red lipstick they’re unknowingly mimicking a big sign of arousal in primates. Upon arousal in female primates blood rushes to their lips, creating a red sheen. Naturally, male apes are going to want to get with someone who’s putting her willingness on display. This is no less true in Homo sapiens. Red lips are universally attractive because they signal arousal and willingness to engage in sex. So ladies, perhaps you should be a bit more careful with what you smear on your lips if you don’t want to look like you’re actively looking to get a piping.
3. Slim waists
This one goes hand-in-hand with the wide hips. Estrogen, the female hormone, dictates fat storage in women. High estrogen levels in the female body often mean that fat will congregate around the breasts, the hips, and ass—NOT the stomach. So when men see a woman with a bit of a gut—she’s telling us “My estrogen levels are not very high”—men love high estrogen, so she’s not going to be a big hit with the lads.
It’s simple—if you have a big belly, we’re not going to find you as attractive as we would if you had a slim waist. DUH. Testosterone, the male hormone, dictates fat storage on the stomach. That’s why you don’t see many women with beer guts.
4. Maternal instinct
Women who display a maternal inclination and all the traits that this entails are very attractive. Qualities such as kindness, empathy, and warmth are all the offspring of the maternal demeanor. They are also the antithesis of the typical feminist qualities, something that may explain why most men find feminists repulsive. Personally, I find that seeing a woman coddling a pet or a baby with love in her eyes stirs something deep inside of me—it awakens primal attraction. I remember finding Disney’s portrayal of Snow White to be incredibly attractive as a child. Looking back on it through an evolutionary lens, I’ve come to realize that it may have had a lot do with her cuddle sessions with forest animals. I will often look at how women treat children and small animals. It is a good way to determine whether she’s girlfriend material or pump-and-dump material. Embodying maternal qualities tells men that you will be a good mother to your potentially shared offspring.
5. Submissiveness
Men have always been the dominant sex—men’s largely superior upper-body strength has made any other balance of power impossible. This fact is, despite it seeming that way on first glance, not a disadvantage to women. In fact, women wouldn’t have it any other way. Women on the whole, although many may be afraid to admit it in this current feminist climate of thought-policing, find dominant men more attractive than their meeker counterparts. They don’t like feeling “above” their men. This is evident in the fact that women tend to want to marry partners who make more money than they do. The force that logically corresponds to women’s attraction for dominant men is the male attraction to submissive women. A woman acting submissive around a man will reaffirm his protector and provider instincts, making him both feel better about both himself and her.
6. Ample breasts
Men love big tits—that’s not a very well kept secret. Some speculate that boobs have evolved to resemble the ass as much as possible, the reason being that our ancestors, who were initially only able to mate from behind, needed a substitute ass to ogle around the time when bipedalism allowed for face-to-face fucking. The fact that breasts play a big part in nurturing offspring has helped a lot in the two funbags’ meteoric rise to sex-symbol status. Again, estrogen plays a big part in telling fat where to go. In women with a healthy hormonal profile, a lot of fat will assemble around the breasts.
7. Big asses
Kim Kardashian’s ass draws a lot of looks from Hot men and jealous women. Her ass is attractive because of its breadth and volume. She be storing fat in all the right places. There’s not really much more to say about this. The bottom line is that if you have a big ass, you’re signaling fertility to the opposite sex.
8. Beauty
Beauty is, contrary to popular belief, NOT in the eye of the beholder. There are very specific ratios and features that determine facial beauty across cultures. Men will always find a beautiful face attractive—beauty is attractiveness.
You’d better have big eyes, a small nose, a small chin, and big lips if you want to get yourself some action. Actually, scratch that—lucky for you, men’s standards are not very high, so any hoglike women out there reading this, there’s hope for you.
There you have it. It’s a bit harder to swallow than Rob’s fluffy mess, but it is definitely closer to the truth—can you handle it?

No it was the Asaba and Delta Igbo that caused the civil war but the eastern Igbo stood by them and we realise that we cant let our brothers down, even our cousins the Ibibio was with us here in the war...the only sour point which is normal in every 12 and in every family there is always the black sheep... and do you know the black sheep? The IKWERRES but some are coming back to the fold via OHANEZE So dont be scared of IGBO unity...igbos are not marufders that invade territories, its the fulani that does that...the igbo man is busy looking for the next deal be it intellectually or economically we are too busy for petty invasion lezz: lolz. I cannot wish the western igbos away. They are igbos alright but I was just being a little realistic.
I observed that during the civil war, the federal troops found it extremely difficult to penetrate the south east, they however settled amongst the delta and rivers igbos which shared land boundaries with the rest of Nigeria.
A lot of harm and evil was done there and then. The Asaba genocide/massacre easily comes to bear. This , I believed sparked the denial and controversy surrounding the western igbos |

To be honest, I am not impressed with First class, Sevond class stuffs, when I conduct interviews, I will just ask simple question...what can you do if I employ you...so if you think you will impress me with those paper qualification ...you are in for a long ride with me.
I learnt this from the Whites...I learnt this in EU , over there in EU especially the Brits and Yankees also, they ask you...dude what can you do?
Try watch the movie '' pursuit of happiness'' and understand this.
Most of the things you learn is gotten from experience not in classroom
this is why the professor of economics can not manage a chewing gum and candy business, but the illiterake abbookkii can manage it and grow it to a big business
the more reason why the guy that graduated from LAGOS BUSINESS SCHOOL can not manage chains of stores but the Igbo guy that just got his freedom will manage it to a conglomerate..ask COSCHARIS and CAPITAL OIL.
these are stuffs you dont learn in classroom, your lectuers doesnt even know it..they are busy striking and sleeping with small girls
So dont impress me with your certificate....i wont buy that

ArodewilliamsT: Listen I am Igbo, i've had no problems with yorubas until i came here, the only people i'm alway wary of are the Islamis hausa-fulanis of the north whose penchant for bloodletting is unequaled in sub-saharan Africa. The internet opened my eyes when i heard yorubas screaming about "Igbos never going to be President", calling them slaves of nigeria and i was one of those who popularized the "Illorin caliphate" taunting to remind them who the slaves really are. Many nigerians of the Southwestern destroyed this country by taunting the Igbos with "presidency and civil war", Some of us as Igbos were anti-Biafrans just few years ago, we even defend Nigeria against ghanian and south africans on the forum, but incendiary comments and taunts from the hateful yorubas who even thought were our only friends in Nigeria have turned millions of Eastern youths more Pro-Biafran than even Uwazurike and Nnamdi Kanu.
When non-violent Massob members are killed guess who taunts the Igbos? yorubas, not even the hausas we openly dislike.
When Christian Igbos were killed in the islamic north due to Danish cartoon riots... guess who jumped up for joy? yorubas( christians and muslims alike). Their taunting here reduced when proved to them they were also getting killed in the north. the 2011 Sai buhari NYSC killings had more yoruba names than other tribe down south
When fulanis destroy crops and rape women, guess who feels elated, yorubas.
i could go on and on. Let yorubas have their own country, their Chi have already broken their palm kernel for , lagos have been developed with eastern resources, from palm kernel to crude oil. They seaports, airports have been built for their use in their ODua country. Biafra has to build from scratch. So they should be happy, they stand to gain more from a split unworkable nigeria.
A Biafra adage Says "let the eagle perch, leg the dove perch too". Biafra and Oodua can live and progress separately and teach the rest Africa how real nations are built. Let us separate and survive, than collide in "unity" for destruction. This is classic ...you made sense but we can't dwell in hate you know I don't write a group off...there are some good fellas left you know |

I always make my assertion with "some". I never spoke for the generality of any group, the furthest I will go is to relay feelings of most within that group.
You came along with a super sensitivity to accuse me of speaking for the entire group. Check all the threads on nairaland on the delta/rivers Igbo origin, they are more or less what I have opined here.
Seems the weight of truth/reality is too heavy for you to bear.
2) Why should I be scared of igbos? Common. Matter of fact, I love the Igbos from their food (ofé onugbo/oha to nkwobi and abacha) to their social behaviour and their aggressive and persistent stance to live
3) they are indeed special like every other group in Nigeria.
4) I honestly will wish for that to be true in the context of the eastern/western igbo relations. |

2 ) your in - laws' choice isn't the yardstick of measuring the feelings of the entire people. Please I beg of you, do not be emotionally hypocritical with a dose of sentimentalism.
Eastern igbos are still berating the presidency for lack of "igbo" appointment even when some Delta igbo sons are there.
When Anioma state was on the verge of creation with the proposal that Onitsha be its capital, Eastern igbos kicked against it. That would have permanently sealed your western brothers to their kins in the east.
When Pat Utomi ran for president in 2007, Eastern igbos cried out he isn't a real igbo.
Well I don't hear much "fake" yoruba about their kwara and Kogi brothers.
There are a good number of Delta igbos who would easily jump ship to the other side and others who won't.
The Asaba massacre and eastern betrayal is still a sour point.
And what the hell is Delta Igbo or fake igbo when their dialect is even more igbo than most places in ebony state and some part of enugu.
Biafra is a legitimate call for igbo active participation in the sociopolitical scheme of things in Nigeria. Secession is a long, long dream. |

The only Igbo that will end up in the Lagoon will be a dead one, so you can feel free to begin sand filling your graveyard. Newsflash: Every yorubaman, be he from Osogbo or Okitipupa, has more stake and claim to Lagos than any Igbo ever will coz by God's grace Lagos falls within Southwest and Yoruba land/territory, same way all Igbos feel naturally more at home within every part of SE igboland and will gladly die to protect her interests and territorial integrity. FACT.
An igboman in Lagos will always be an igboman, even if he lives there for a million years, he will never be no more than an illegal immigrant. Heck, you all don't even bury your dead outside igboland, so no matter how long Una live for Lagos, a Igbo will eventually end up in the SE, whether dead or alive. Comprende? ? |

What is SS tell me this is just a way of the Yoruba and Hausa way of separating us the Ijaws,Ibibios, isekiris,efik,orrobo etc from our brother's and next door neighbors(the ibos) the worst of it is even the ikweres. The north you said are your best friend's are they treating you right have you ever lived up north and a northern don't. Call you an Igbo man. That aside the oil we have that we are so proud of that we don't enjoy is that why you call an Hausa man your friend? Have you been to Abj kano Kaduna Jos and see how those places are developed? Have you been to Oloibiri, Soku, Ogoni etc and see how our lands and seas are polluted, we can't farm or fish. Our brother was at the realm of affairs what happened they connived with the Yoruba friend's and hustled him out by labelling him corrupt, Abacha wasnt Obasanjo wasn't its GEJ that was.

lezz: With Igbos running their business in virtually allot region of the country? With Igbos investing in landed and real estate in both north south east and west? Our economic and cultural ties isn't as different as you would wish. There's a sizable Muslim population in the southwest and in Edo state in South south and there is a sizeable number of Christians in the north and middle belt as well.
You speak of a Biafra along igbo speaking areas but you should know there are many in Rivers igbo who will not hold to such sentiments and that area is key if you would achieve your dream of secession. Also many in the calabar/ uyo and akwaibom axis will still fear igbo domination in any eventuality.
That's why I say the marriage is complex. If the north decides to secede I think some regions in the middle belt might not tag along too and if the south west is to secede, the kwara and Kogi brothers might still be a puzzle to solve, not mentioning the pocket of ijaw settlers all around the creeks in the south west.
I still see a one Nigeria stronger and better with more international role to play in Africa and the world. Is that what you feel Allow the rivers Igbo to speak for themselves ...you are not mandated to speak for them |

Flyoruboy: Hehehe. Don't you just wish? You must be mistaking the Lagoon for Lagos , since Akiolu has already offered you all acres of plots in the Lagoon, so y'all can knock yourselves out at its bottom. Besides, una must first successfully annex Delta, Edo, Ondo, and Ogun which are buffer states between Lagos and SE proper, punk. Ore would be child's play compared to what will befall your flat.heads.  You know we can easily sandfill those lagoon and make it Macau Pls go and salvage your people in that thread Show them decent pictures of Oshogbo,okitipupa et al Every Yoruba man no be lagosian naaa |

OPCNAIRALAND: Ibo is a lower class citizen in Nigeria.
[ Masterweb Reports: Clement Udegbe reports ] – When Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola was sworn in as the Governor of Lagos State, to take over from his mentor, I was one of those who vouched for him, urging my friends in our small but very closed forum of lawyers who are pastors to monitor and watch the actions of Lawyers in Power. I boasted that here comes the first SAN, as a Governor, who will show Nigerians that lawyers have the key to the challenges of this blessed nation, and that Lagos will soon experience a turn around for good. Today, we all agree that he has done well and still doing well except for one terrible and dangerous tendency his government has displayed too frequently.
Around December 2009,the LASG, provided buses and was paying a sum ranging from N8,000 toN15,000 to anyone who wanted to leave Lagos. What was baffling was that the evacuation targeted people from the South- South and South East of Nigeria, especially the Igbos.
Any man who wants people to leave “their Lagos” so shabbily is wickedly inconsiderate because some of these citizens being urged to depart or relocate from Lagos may have come here when some of them in power today were toddlers. Some of these persons so believed in Lagos, that they gave their children Yoruba names like myself.
They only discovered late in life, like I now do, that many of these men who are in power have refused to outgrow their dislike for Igbos! To me, that action signaled the possibility of BRF waking up any morning to ask a whole group, and ethnic group to leave Lagos. Igbos could be made to leave Lagos one day, if nothing is done now.
I quickly took this thought to my forum of Pastor Lawyers, and after a good argument, they disagreed with me, but we all agreed to watch BRF closely to observe anything that will prove my thoughts or to confirm my fears for the Igbo people in Lagos. After BRF’s re-election in 2011, we all agreed that the man will become bolder, more blunt, daring, and even wicked in his second term. This was purely based on his body language in everything he did, after he was sworn in for the second term.
Soon after, LASG had a serious brush with the Igbo traders in Alaba International Market, Ojo. He threatened to close their market, and we noted it.
Then he hit the Okada riders very hard, and as that was settling down, he hit the Ladipo Igbo traders early this year, and closed the market indefinitely! It took the intervention of Owelle Rochas Okorocha of Imo State to reach BRF’s milk of mercy and he reopened Ladipo Market, but not without a warning! I, had to, and without any apologies, come to the painful conclusion that it is either that someone very high up in the LASG does not like Ndigbo, or it is BRF himself. What angered me more was that Owelle had to beg him for Ndigbo.
This Igbo people I complained, when will they wake up to know and accept that no one likes them in this arrangement called Nigeria, and comport themselves properly at all times and in all they do?
To confirm that I was correct, on the July 26 morning, Onitsha people at the bridge head area woke up to the deportation of about 70 Igbos by LASG to Anambra State! What BRF has told Ndigbo by this action include: That Lagos State under his administration will not tolerate Igbo failed citizens in the state; Lagos will allow only those who contribute immensely to the Internally Generated Revenue of the State, and if any becomes unable to pay tax for any reason, LASG will send him back to Igboland.
Don’t ever think you can do anything about how LASG, treats Ndigbo,whether their treatment of Igbos is constitutional or not, no one can do anything about it. Since Igbo Governors may only come to beg him for mercy, he might as well just send their people back to them, good riddance of bad rubbish! Finally, LASG can and will disregard the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria when it concerns Ndigbo, because they are ACN!
The deportation of Nigerians from Nigeria was the worst assault on the pride of Igbo people in Lagos; it was deliberately calculated to see what the Igbo people would do, and it is in very bad taste to me.
The meaning was that a governor who thinks and goes ahead to approve the transportation and relocation of these Nigerian citizens from his state, has succeeded in flouting and abusing the constitutional rights of these citizens to a place of domicile, to stay and earn their living in any part of Nigeria.
If the Federal Government does not speak and do something about this, there will be cause for any Igbo man to worry about this contraption called Nigeria that we have all so believed in. LASG must be made to account for these persons, cater and provide for them, because it was in Lagos that they lost focus and their destiny ruined.
Lagos Area Boys run wild, extorting money from bus drivers, causing nuisance with impunity ostensibly encouraged by LASG. I just wonder when this insult of Ndigbo will end.The growing trend of disrespecting the Igbo people in Lagos, and wherever in Nigeria must stop.
If nothing is done about this by the FG, many will have to brace up for a fight for their constitutional right, or pack away from Lagos State. And this is because my Igbo people say that if your fowl comes out in the morning from its cage and starts pursuing you, it is wise that you run for your dear life, because it may have developed sharp teeth overnight!

Fashola violated Ibo's rights in Nigeria but in court Yoruba and Hausa lawyers gave him victory against the refugees. Ibos are like toilet paper, everybody clean yansh with them.  OPC nairaland....lol |
