So why is Eze Ndigbo in parts of Yoruba land always be big problem to you yorubas?

According to history and sociology/social anthropology, the Igbo society is stateless. I'll take you as one of my students, now listen.
The Igbo society is referred to as stateless in Nigeria because, traditionally, it did not have a centralized system of government or a single ruler like a king or chief governing the entire group. Instead, political authority was decentralized and based on a republican system where decisions were made collectively through village assemblies, councils of elders, age grades, and titled men. Each community or village governed itself through consensus and collective participation, reflecting equality and shared leadership rather than hierarchical control. This absence of a central political authority led scholars to describe the Igbo society as a “stateless” or “acephalous” society.
Eze translates to a King and there can never be two kings in a domain or kingdom. There are way of doing things in Yoruba culture which is quite different from Igbo. Igbo system may allow proliferation or duplication of King or Royal titles outside their kingdoms but the Yoruba culture forbids it as the saying goes, "Oba ba lori ohun gbogbo" (The King is supreme amongst all creatures)
Oba ni alase ikeji orisa" (After the gods, comes the king or the king deputizes the gods) Nobody jokes with the king title in Yoruba land. What your culture permits might be forbidden in another culture.

chiagozien:
but why would there be chairman of Yoruba community outside south west if others can't have theirs in peace in yoruba Land?

It seems you're naive to some things. Let me educate you. There are cultural/ethnic groups across all Yoruba land and across all states of the Federation. For example, Igbos have their association in all states in which they meet from time to time. If you're outside the Igbo-centralised states, locate one and start attending meetings. Most Igbo merchants participates in these meetings, they can direct you. Association/Communities exists. Kingship is what is forbidden.

This is how we roll down East.....using what we have in making our communities a better place without actually waiting for government.
No wonder the south east region is adjudged to have the most developed and heavily built rural areas in sub saharan Africa and could equally assume it for the entire Africa.
God bless our efforts,we will not relent! Akulouno!!!!

The Chairman of Swiss Metro Group, Dr. Ezekiel Ifeyi Ibeh, has made a generous donation of N100 million to support the ongoing effort to build a community-driven hospital and nursing school in Ihiala, Anambra State.

The event, which held on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at Oriental Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, aimed to raise N1.5 billion for the establishment of the healthcare and training facilities.

Yet the event was held in Lagos to develop Anambra. Ain't that funny?
This is Lagos. Second to none! Eko o ni baje!

Nobody is attacking them, telling them to go back to their Yoruba land to do their Oba thing, just like children of perdition already do.




Nobody see them celebrating their Yoruba day as disrespecting their host.

As a Yoruba man, nobody carries the title of Oba outside the Yoruba Kingdoms. Kabiyesi's (King's) subjects are his own people in his domain and not in foreign land. Beware of anyone proclaiming the Oba title. They can be chairmen of Yoruba community in such states and not Oba.

I can see Trump hiding herbal mixture in the drawer behind the Yellow Phone in the picture. What a funny man.

The Glory Dome in Abuja is currently the largest church auditorium in the world by indoor seating capacity (100,000 people) — surpassing all others in terms of enclosed worship space. St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City can hold around 60,000 people at full capacity. However, if you include open-air spaces like St. Peter’s Square, the total crowd that can gather for major events such as Easter Mass or Papal audiences can reach over 300,000 people.

Lol. He wants them to be selling water in carts. What kind of empowerment is this? What kind of skill are the going to acquire from selling water?

Honestly, this country is cursed with bad leaders.

It's only when you have a skill that someone could empower you. This is more of equipment for making livelihoods. I'm suspecting they may not have basic education too. The government in the state should have trained them on something better. I've seen situations where youths are empowered with sewing machines, laptops and so on and most of them sold the equipment. Can you see that. It's true most of our leaders are not doing well. Sometimes, government is to be blamed and most times, you can't blame them.

From a neuropsychological standpoint, Khadijat’s experience aligns with a dissociative fugue coupled with psychogenic mutism — a rare reaction where acute stress or subconscious trauma causes the brain to “disconnect” from conscious memory and speech control. During the fugue, individuals may appear calm, travel long distances, and later awaken with no recollection of their journey. The inability to speak, despite being fully conscious and literate, arises when emotional shock disrupts neural circuits between the limbic system and Broca’s area, effectively silencing voluntary speech without damaging the vocal organs.

No be to get film village o, but what is churning out from that film village

I understand... That film village thousands of dollars investment. And I want to believe the money won't come from petty cash for roles. Wayback in Nigeria, there's a local musician that's only known in his state for his folk songs or let me say a few state (South South) and he charged N10m (a day) for an event about 7 years ago- that's value. He charges more now. I met him personally and I know he's adding immense value to traditional folksongs in Africa but I bet you don't know him.

Kalulu44:
Lies everywhere. If you tell us per movie that will be believable. If you pay him 5m per day, how many days will it take to shoot one movie? That means before the movie finished he would have earn more than #100m.
Make una dey play o

There's a likelihood that all his scenes will be shot in a day except if it's a series/soap. Other actors on those scenes too may be persuaded to be available looking at how much the production could cost if Ibrahim's scenes runs into days.
Don't be surprised he has a film village.... A big one.

Tattoos are not inherently bad.
But truth is, society associates people who wear tattoos with criminals, especially young people with no obvious means of income.

You're right. That's the social construct. What society labels as crime becomes criminal.
In criminology, it's termed, Symbolic Interactionism. Associated with George Herbert Mead and Howard Becker.

Crashing food prices ADC are not happy, and the same ADC claiming they want to make Nigeria and Nigerians life better. From ADC statement its clear they don't have any good intentions for Nigeria and Nigerians

Thanks man... This Alliance for Displaced Conmen (ADC) are not always happy with anything good. Food prices is going down and their family members will benefit from it and they're complaining. Hiposcrisy at its peak! It's true insecurity persists in some parts of the country but will the rest of the country starve? I read some people's comment here that federal govt is importing food and that was why food prices is crashing down. Let me tell you this: over 80% percent of the pineapples, okro etc. coming into Lagos are from other counties in West Africa.. Despite the population in Nigeria, there's no way farmers can meet up with food supply.

Even U.S. imports foods from Mexico.

Common Imports:

Avocados 🥑 (Mexico is the #1 supplier to the U.S.)

Tomatoes 🍅
Bell peppers 🌶️
Strawberries 🍓
Blueberries and raspberries 🫐
Limes and lemons 🍋
Mangoes 🥭
Cucumbers and squash
Onions and garlic

🌾 Grains and Staples

Corn (maize) (though the U.S. also exports corn to Mexico — it’s a two-way trade)
Rice
Beans (especially black beans and pinto beans)
And many more....

Sometimes I wonder how people in position of authority misled or misrepresent fact. Is coup not a matter of national security. Coup reflects insecurity in the nation. Even my students in undergraduate knows the answer to this poor assertion from the cleric.

This reminds me of the song, "Who's that Girl" by Eve. One of my favorite rap songs way back in High School.

Solution Fun City Awka Nigeria Biggest Fun Center

The post says "Recreational Facility". It's obvious you don't read and you're not objective in constructive arguments. I'll recommend a book for you. "The Good Study Guide" by Andrew Northedge. Even during PhD., it'll still help you. You can't grow intellectually. Go back to that post and read. There are grades to recreational parks. It's like comparing Samsung to an iPhone products without specifying the model. It's either, you didn't attend a good school in your elementary or learning didn't take place at all during your formative years. I wonder why you're still struggling to understand a paragraph. The post said the "largest recreational facility" which is actually a misrepresentation of fact. By the way, I'm yet to see your assignment.

BeautifulMind2:
Solution Fun City Awka is the biggest fun center in Nigeria currently

I understand you may be trying to promote your state but don't say what you don't know and I'm not arguing with you again. Meanwhile, I'll give you an assignment as my student to check (Research/Google) for the size of those recreation facilities I mentioned in my first response and then you revert to me since you don't want to learn before you self-destruct. Submit.
Deadline for submission is Tuesday, 21st October 2025 (23.59 WAT)

BeautifulMind2:
Solution Fun City Awka is far bigger than Hi-impact in Ogun with better facilities stop deceiving yourself

Don't drift away from the post...the word "largest" was used in the post and not most thrilling- I doubt the thrilling part of the Anambra Rec. Park, can't be the best. We're talking size. And you should learn to differentiate numbers... For instance, 1 comes before 2 which makes 1 smaller in unit than 2. And in my reply, I mentioned Obudu and you kept quiet about that... Meaning you're guilty of misleading people to believe Anambra has the largest Rec. Park in Nigeria. Stop spreading it. Relocate from your village and experience the West side... This is the first half of my fun fact. Some rides go fast and some rides go slow...

Op, It's a good development but in terms of physical land area, Obudu Mountain Resort is much larger than Solution Fun City.
Solution Fun City occupies about 12.7 to 13 hectares (≈ 0.127 to 0.13 km²). Even Hi-Impact Planet in Ibafo, Ogun State occupies about 18.5 hectares (≈ 46 acres). It's an amusement park in the South West just like Solution Fun City.
Obudu covers tens to a hundred km²; Solution Fun City covers only a fraction of a km². Solution Fun City is not the largest recreational facility in Nigeria according to your post. Research properly to avoid misleading information.

A faint positive line on a pregnancy test after using misoprostol does not necessarily confirm that the pregnancy is ongoing, but it also doesn’t guarantee that it has ended. Pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG, which can remain in the body for days or even weeks after a miscarriage or abortion — sometimes giving a faint positive result even when the pregnancy tissue has been expelled.
However, since your wife only took misoprostol (and not mifepristone before it), there’s a chance the process was incomplete. Misoprostol alone can work, but its success rate is lower — especially at very early or very late gestational ages.
The safest next step is not to repeat the drug blindly but to get a proper medical evaluation: A pelvic ultrasound can confirm if there are still products of conception.A quantitative blood hCG test (rather than a home strip) can help monitor whether the hormone levels are dropping, which would show that the abortion is complete.
If she experiences persistent abdominal pain, fever, or abnormal bleeding, treat it as urgent and seek medical help immediately — those can be signs of incomplete abortion or infection.
You can keep your 5k. And it's best you visit the hospital ASAP!

Flip Mac:
My wife noticed that she was pregnant last week. She did a pregnancy test using a test strip. We estimate it to be less than a month old.

So we decided to abort the baby since we aren't ready for another child yet (we have a 1 year old right now).

She took pills to remove the pregnancy (Miso-Fem Misoprostol tablet) on Monday morning. She experienced a heavy period for a whole day and by the next day it stopped.

She decided to do a pregnancy test again this morning to confirm if it worked.

Unfortunately, the pregnancy still showed 2 lines (meaning it's positive), but the second line is faint.

My question is: is she still pregnant? If yes, what can we do to remove it safely? Is there a better medication to buy?.

Please help. I'll send a N5k reward to the best response.
