Rossinnki:My brother keep educating them. It's we ourselves that is damaging our reputation outside. We wash and dry our dirty linens for the whole world to see, while others hide theirs. You will hardly see other people rubbish their country to outsiders. Even Syria, Bangladesh, Somalians, Congo, who live in worst conditions that us don't go trying to destroy their country. You will see Ghana, Rwanda, Angola, Vietnam and many country's citizen laundering the image of their countries online. They only show the few urban cities they have. They hide the vast majority of the villages where you find abject poverty, where majority of the population lives. Many practically believe these countries are better than Nigeria. No matter what indices you use, Nigeria is not the worst in the world. In terms of wealth and income inequality, ie the gap between the rich and poor, South Africa is the worst in the world, Nigeria is no. 35 from bottom - https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/04/02/598864666/the-country-with-the-worlds-worst-inequality-is In the US, over 38 million Americans live below the poverty line - https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/759512938/u-s-census-bureau-reports-poverty-rate-down-but-millions-still-poor In terms of corruption, Nigeria is not the worst, we are around No. 140 out of 179 countries. It terms of perception, Nigerians think we are the most corrupt nation of earth. That we have huge problems cannot be denied, we have corrupt and inept government at all levels, we have huge social integration issues, we have huge infrastructural deficits, but we should not forget the fact that many countries are grappling with their own issues too. |
Dbboy:You will be surprised by the amount of plastic bottles, satchels and bags we produce. I own house is overwelmed by plastic bottles. We have water, coke, merinda, five alive and other bottles all over my house. My bins are always full. It got me thinking about this plastic problem even before now. Nigerians use and dispose million of plastic bottles everyday. Where do they all end up? In the gutters and eventually in the oceans, since we don't have a waste management system. It's a huge problem today and would be a catastrophe very soon. Look into all the gutters in this dry season, they are all filled with empty plastic bottles. We are not even talking about plastic satchel for pure water and food packaging yet. We need to replace plastic packaging with something that's bio degradable. |
Armaggedon:Truth is bitter. I know you guys live in denial. Igbo so called culture is greed oriented, for the exploitation of women, children and the helpless. Where did I say she buried her husband alone? I said she went for the burial (in company of her 2 little childeren plus some family members) with a bus load mobile Policemen. |
SciLab:Which yeye igbo customary laws? You guys truly deserve your own igbo only country, where you can be allowed to go back to the stone age. I don't blame you guys, it's your women I blame. They take too much shit from misogynist menfolks in the name of tradition. Come to warri and try half of these useless customs on our girls and they will show you how far. Property, she has no right to inherit from her own father. Her own child she carried for 9 month, you want to claim, because her baby daddy did not come and pay you money in the form of bride price. If the husband dies, you will see the husband's brothers circling like vultures to come and claim properties they did not work for. If the husband dies, the wife will be made to endure all sorts of humiliating ceremonies in the name of culture. I am always proud of the way my wafi sisters treat their Bleep up. I am seen a situation where a igbo man who was married to an urhobo lady died. She and her little children went to bury the man in his village with a full detachment of mopol. The youths of the town wanted to cause trouble, insisting she undergoes some ceremonies. After the mopol used some to do "for example" no body told them to forget culture. After the burial, the family made mistake of coming to warri, where the guy built a massive house and plenty cars. I trust Ekpan youths, they were waiting for them. |
panafrican:Which flying cars? Ordinary driving Car dem never build, you come dey talk flying cars. All na mouth. Israel is a bit like China, they copy US and European technology, make a few changes and then shout Israeli technology. Manned Space station ke? Ordinary space rocket when India, Pakistan and China don launch, dem never even attempt. |
Juliusmalema:You are arguing blindly. The father is dead and the mother took the child to her father. If the boy is alive and wants his child it will go to the courts. If the child's mother did not give the child to her father, he cannot claim it. The primary rights to a child belongs to both parents |
Omon605:You are comparing apples to oranges. The main difference in this case is; the father is late. So the only person with absolute rights to the child is the mother, and if the mother willingly gives the child to her family, there is little the child's father's family can do. The situation would be different if the father is alive and demands paternity rights. Then there would be custody battle in the courts and visitation rights issues among other issues. You guys need to get this into your skulls, the two parents of a child has equal paternity rights to a child before any body else. |
Juliusmalema:Please explain why davido's culture is not in the picture, but chioma's own is. Yoruba's culture recognise paternity based on DNA and not bride price, is accorded full family rights including inheritance. So because the girl is Igbo means Yoruba culture should be disregarded? |
OgunLaakaye:Don't mind him, he still sees female children as commodities or investments, to collect dividends from intending husbands. So a man will many female children will be saddled with the responsibility of adopting all his unmarried daughter children, in old age, when he should be retired and resting. The implications of what he is saying is that igbo girls and their boyfriends can be having children up and down without the responsibility of caring and raising the children because the children belongs to the girl's fathers. You fail to realize that men can impregnate 7 girls in one week. If he has no responsibility to his children whatsoever, what stops him from impregnating girls up and down like 2 face? |
Juliusmalema:But that's not the culture of the other party. Which of the 2 clashing cultures should be respected? You also have to respect the tradition of others. If you guys don't want others to disregard your cultures, then train your daughters not to open legs for non igbos |
jhenie:I wonder why you girls support cultures that demean women and exploit children. As an adult women (I assume you are over 18), you talking like someone without any rights. Your father has no rights to take your children from you, not to talk of your baby daddy's. Chioma's family cannot decide to give davido's son to anybody, they have no such rights under Nigerian law. Even if davido bleeped chioma on his father's bed and gave birth on the same fathers bed, the child does not belong to him, unless the two parents forgo their parental rights, or its the father's sperm that produced the baby. |
Juliusmalema:Which right does chioma's father has? He does not even have rights over chioma, who is an adult, not to talk of her baby. He wants to collect bride price abi? He should carry gun and point to davido to collect it. Some igbos behave like 18th century bush men, but claim to better than others. Even if davido pays chioma's bride price, what happens to his children if the couple divorces, and chioma marries another man? The new man will claim the child, or the father will claim the child? All these father claiming others people's children is not out of love, but a blackmail to collect bride price up and down. Some fathers that cannot even feed themselves, will be claiming other people's children. In sane societies, a man that impregnates a woman is forced to pay child care for the child until 18. Many have gone to jail for avoiding their responsibilities to their children, but in igbos archaic culture, it's all about greed of collecting bride price and not the welfare of the child. |
Henrykeeyz19:You are failing to consider on thing, Davido is not igbo , so he is not bound by igbo culture. When my first cousin wanted to marry an anambra prince in warri, in one of the ceremonies, he was expected to tie a wrapper. He refused vehemently, he said as a prince, he cannot tie a wrapper. It was a big issue. When I became a stalemate, my uncle got up and told everyone to let the groom wear what his custom permits. So when you have a clash of cultures, common sense should prevail. You cannot expect others to imbibe your culture by force, that's fundamentalism. |
Charleys:Wherever the case is heard, women are generally given custody of very young children, except in cases where the mother is incapable or proven irresponsible. That doesn't mean davido would not be given parental rights. No other man can claim the child. |
chinolization:Praise God, the point is gradually sinking in; Non igbos don't know or care about Igbo traditions. It's important only to igbos. |
Charleys:So? |
chinolization:Irrelevant to paternity. Even if chioma is Davido's 1 night stand, as long as it's is proven that the child matches his DNA, he is the legal father. |
Charleys:The case will not be heard at Umuahia customary court. The case will be heard at either the Osun state high Court or the Lagos State high Court. Now tell me, which law will prevail at the state high Court? |
SciLab:You guys are so dumb but you claim wiseness. You repeat the same few words, Muslim, Afonja, Fulani cow, etc, when you run out of sense. Tell your women to stick to their own misogynistic men if you don't want fulani or Yoruba bastard. Igbo customary laws don't apply to non igbos. What's concerns fulani herdsmen and communal lands in what we are talking about. Igbo men can not take other men's children from other tribes and you cannot blackmail other people to marry your daughters or sisters by force. Your laws are barely a few decades old, but Igbo customary laws have outlived your 10 generation ancestors and will outlive your 10th generation offspring. We both know that.Same way allowing twins to live is barely a few decades old, but customary laws to have them murdered have outlived your 10 generation. That child belongs to the maternal family, take it or leave it.I know it's hard for you to accept or understand, but the child belongs to both father and mother according to the Nigerian laws. |
nick50:You want to compare the Adeleke's to the Rowlands? You must be high on something. |
Charleys:Churchill was never denied paternity. Tonto was given custody of their son for obvious reasons, he is very young (young children need their mothers more), tonto is more financially stable. Churchill was given visitation rights but through a nanny (tonto has refused to hire a nanny). Tonto's father or any other man cannot claim churchill's son. The boy is bearing churchill's name. |
SciLab:And there are no sanctimonous traditions igbo tradition, where daughters are treated as commodities to be sold to the highest bidder, where women are not allowed to inherit their fathers properties, where women are forced to drink the bath water of their husband's corpse and where Osu tradition is still rife. But they think Igbo tradition and customary laws with all it's wisdom should be relegated for their benefit? What nonsense? Can these numbskulls go to the north and tell the hausas how to re-organize their Sharia?What's the wisdom in these stupid traditions? So you know igbo tradition and customs is as primitive as sharia. Anyway, sharia just like primitive igbo customs is for the poor. Have you seen any rich man being tried in sharia court? Same way you cannot try any rubbish igbo culture on rich and influential people. Hear it very clear you morons, Customary laws still remain sacrosanct, as far that law have not been abrogated, that child belongs to Chioma's dad, davido is a simply a sperm donor who has refused to do the needful.Customary laws are the lowest laws in the hierarchy of laws in Nigeria. Ordinary state laws over ride customary laws. This is not yoruba tradition, where every thug and tout likr mufutau, mutiu and Kazeemu can impregnate every sikira and bilikis with pride but without responsibility. Igbo tradition has it's roots in wisdom and it will outlive both you and I.You are just angry like a boko haram member who wants to carry out suicide bombings. Igbo archaic traditions only apply in Igboland to people to subscribe to it. You can't force a Yoruba man or Hausa man to abide by igbos tradition. If you can't stand your daughter being impregnated by a Yoruba man, train your daughters or sisters not to open legs for Yoruba men. |
Armaggedon:Igbo laws and tradition is not the Supreme law in Nigeria. Whether the girl lives under her parents or under a bridge, as long as the DNA matches, he is legally the father. You cannot impose igbo customs on non igbos. You are so attached to igbo culture that you fail to realise that other people have cultures too. You are now comparing a consensual sexual relationship between 2 consenting adults to rape. That's taking the arguments to low levels. The girls family can only lay claim to the child if the father is not interested in exercising or enforcing paternity rights. |
Lovelyn451:That must be a Biafran court according to Biafran constitution. According to the Nigerian constitution (and Yoruba culture), once it's proven that the baby belongs to the man. The child belongs to both father and mother. |
Juliusmalema:False. I have heard that narrative from so many igbo people that a child from your own DNA is not yours until you pay bride price on the mothers head. That can apply in an Igbo only country, but in Nigeria, the constitution reigns supreme. According to the Nigerian constitution, as long as you can prove in a court of law that the baby matches your DNA 99.99%, you have parental rights. If your child's mother and family abduct your child to their villages in Igboland, you sue their ass to court. I don't know how some igbos think their own culture will supersede other people's culture in Nigeria, the same way Fulanis think their cultural laws is above the Nigerian constitution. In yoruba culture, once a woman borns for you, she is automatically assumed to be your wife - bride price or not. The baby is accorded all rights as a child of the family. |
This is an article first published by Time Magazine – Monday, Nov. 10, 1958. It detailed the intrigues and power play between the three main power brokers in Nigeria, all jostling for political power. I believe the mistake of 1959 is more consequential than 1914. In the 1914 amalgamation, we had no choice. In 1959, we did have the choice of each region going it's own way, but the politicians choose to remain amalgamated. Here is the article. For one month, delighted Londoners watched the 80 ceremonially dressed Nigerians—some with necklaces of animal teeth, others with feathered straw hats, at least one with a jeweled crown—parade into Lancaster House for their historic conference. |
Hyperchi:Which electrical appliances did Israel or the Jews invents? Israel or a jew did not invent the drone. During World War I, the Navy hired Elmer Ambrose Sperry, the inventor of the gyroscope, to develop a fleet of “air torpedoes,” unmanned Curtis biplanes designed to be launched by catapult and fly over enemy positions. A secret program was run out of a small outfield in central Long Island, New York. A New York Times report from 1926, when the secret was revealed, said that the planes were “automatically guided with a high degree of precision” and after a predetermined distance were supposed to suddenly turn and fly vertically downward, carrying enough TNT to “blow a small town inside out.” |
Hyperchi:Why will I hate Jews or Israel as a country? What business do I have with Jews? I neither love or hate Jews (or any other groups of people for that matter), as I have no business with them. I do love my country men though. I love the igbos, I love the Yorubas, I love the ijaws, as these are my brothers whom I live with and do business with. I would have loved the Fulanis, but they kill my brothers with no provocation. The group of people I can say is hate are Nigerian politicians irrespective of tribe. They are wicked and greedy and make life difficult for me and my fellow Nigerians. Why not give me the name or names of these great Jewish inventions and what they invented. The state of Israel is doing great in drone research and technology, but they did not invent the drone. Drone technology had been progressing soon after the Wright brothers invented the flying machine, and the technology accelerating after WW2. What do you mean by you love Jews and Israel? Are you saying that all Jews are superior to you? Will you start worshipping any jew you come across? Even Benie Sanders who is a full fledged Jew is not supporting the current government in Israel. Please learn to love yourself and your people. It's the greatest love of all. |
Mokason28:Do you have proof Foreign rice ,used clothes (okirika), frozen foods are coming into Lagos or the south through the northern borders? Or you are sitting in the south just speculating. Most items are smuggled through the creeks and sea between Benin republic and Lagos, as customs do not have enough boats and manpower to prevent maritime smuggling, especially at night time. |
bravesoul247:I am also talking of parts. |
amanovercomer:But Israels love for you is unquantifiable, as it's zero. What of love for your country, your tribe, your family and yourself? I hope you know Israel rejected any remote ancestry with your tribe, they say a DNA research yield no connection whatsoever. |
Goldencheese:How can one be a religious bigot and a religious hater at the same time? Are the 2 not mutually exclusive? You made a stupendous claim that Israel is a quiet leader in technological inventions, and I called you out to give the technolical invention Israel has given the world, you are shouting religious bigot and hater. But to let you know the inventions by Jews, let me start with Google (Larry Page and Sergey Brin, they are Jewish); "disk on key" (USB Flashdisk), metal detectors, security jeeps, elevators, electric wheelchairs, drip irrigation systems were all created by Jews. And to those you may not know, they also created 3G Solar, MobileEye, Indigo Digital Printing Presses, IMI Tavor TAR-21 and Python (Defence) and hundreds of others I can't list here. Use one of their products "Google" to find out.Are these the technological inventions Israel is leading or gave the world? Google is technology? Isn't that something? Google was innovative? yes; but invented the technology to start indexing web pages ? No. There were many search engines before Google. Yahoo was the leading search engine in the mid 90's, even before even Sergey Brin and Larry Page graduated from the university. I don't have time to go through the rubbish "inventions" by Jews (no longer Israel) you listed up, but on the top of my head, I know the metal detector was invented by Graham Bell. For your information it was Larry Page's mother that was Jewish, his father who was one of the pioneers of computer science isn't a Jew. Does that mean that Muslims or other people don't create things? No. At least, the Arabic numerals and other inventions by Arabs have changed the world.So Israel is no longer the world's leader in technological inventions. So, I am not a religious bigot, never was and never will be but the OP posted information on a Jewish invention and I passed my innocent comment on it. I expect that you know it is my right and I did it not insulting or abusing or disparaging any individual or group.I never accused you of being a religious bigot. I said you are a Jew worshipper, like lots of other Christians who worship Jewish people (who by the way don't give a shit about them), because of religion. It's just like the way muslims worships Arabians just because of religion. The person you quoted is known religious bigot. He hates muslims and especially atheists. I just took one look at his claims and dismissed it. The so called "invention" looked clumsy. There was very little details on how the machine works. I know Israel is advanced in drone technology, but he never stated whether the "new invention" is a drone. |
