we are very corrupt and we are living in denial. When other countries deported our people, we always shout to high heavens as if they hated us, I bet they don't but her our corrupt way of life is what they hate..We have to look within ourselves and say the truth...

I thank God that i am so confident in myself and I will pay no attention to my wife if she choose to keep her maiden name. She is not my slave, she had a name before i met her and I am not the one that gave birth to her. she should have the right to keep her parent name. Thank God I am not in the circle of those men that have esteem issues.

R.I.P

The yorubas and the Igbos were the two main groups with large population according to census at that time, the Calabars have a town but they were not that big.

The most powerful and influential races are two--the Aku and the Ibo. The
Akus [Footnote: This is a nickname from the national salutation, 'Aku, ku,
ku?' ('How d'ye do?')] or Egbas of Yoruba, the region behind Lagos, the
Eyeos of the old writers, so called from their chief town, 'Oyo,' are
known by their long necklaces of tattoo. They are termed the Jews of
Western Africa; they are perfect in their combination, and they poison
with a remarkable readiness. The system of Egba 'clanship' is a favourite,
sometimes an engrossing, topic for invective with the local press, who
characterise this worst species of 'trades-union,' founded upon
intimidation and something worse, as the 'Aku tyranny' and the 'Aku
Inquisition.' The national proverb speaks the national sentiment clearly
enough: '_Okàn kau lè ase ibi, ikoko li asi ìmolle bi atoju ìmolle taù, ke
atoju ibi pella, bi aba kû ara enni ni isni 'ni'_ ('A man must openly
practise the duties of kinship, even though he may privately belong to a
(secret) club; when he has attended the club he must also attend to the
duties of kinship, because when he dies his kith and kin are those who
bury him').

The Ibos, or 'Eboes' of American tales, are even more divided; still they
feel and act upon the principle 'Union is strength.' This large and savage
tribe, whose headquarters are at Abo, about the head of the Nigerian
delta, musters strong at Sá Leone; here they are the Swiss of the
community; the Kruboys, and further south the Kabenda-men being the
'Paddies.' It is popularly said that while the Aku will do anything for
money, the Ibo will do anything for revenge. Both races are astute in the
extreme and intelligent enough to work harm. Unhappily, their talents
rarely take the other direction. In former days they had faction-fights:
the second eastern district witnessed the last serious disturbance in
1834. Now they do battle under the shadow of the law. 'Aku constables will
not, unless in extreme cases, take up their delinquent countrymen, nor
will an Ebo constable apprehend an Ebo thief; and so on through all the
different tribes,' says the lady 'Resident of Sierra Leone.' If the
majority of the jury be Akus, they will unhesitatingly find the worst of
Aku criminals innocent, and the most innocent of whites, Ibos, or Timnis
guilty. The Government has done its best to weld all those races into one,
and has failed. Many, however, are becoming Moslems, as at Lagos, and this
change may have a happier effect by introducing the civilisation of
El-Islam.

Trial by jury has proved the reverse of a blessing to most non-English
lands; in Africa it is simply a curse. The model institution becomes here,
as in the United States, a better machine for tyranny than any tyrant,
except a free people, ever invented. The British Constitution determines
that a man shall be tried by his peers. Half a dozen of his peers at Sá
Leone may be full-blooded blacks, liberated slaves, half-reformed
fetish-worshippers, sometimes with a sneaking fondness for Shángo, the
Egba god of fire; and, if not criminals and convicts in their own country,
at best paupers clad in dishclouts and palm-oil. The excuse is that a
white jury cannot be collected among the forty or fifty eligibles in
Freetown. It is vain to 'challenge,' for other negroes will surely take
the place of those objected to. No one raises the constitutional question,
'Are these half-reclaimed savages my peers?' And if he did, Justice would
sternly reply, 'Yes.' The witnesses will forswear themselves, not, like
our 'posters,' for half a crown, but gratis, because the plaintiff or
defendant is a fellow-tribesman. The judge may be 'touched with a
tar-brush;' but, be he white as milk, he must pass judgment according to
verdict. This state of things recalls to mind the Ireland of the early
nineteenth century, when the judges were prefects armed with a penal code,

Happy Birthday Madiba..

R.I.P true naija man..

GEJ is a product of the educational system in Nigeria, the whole country need an urgent overhaul....

master, always do the right thing. do the right thing.

This kind of attitude will help promote the progress of Africa.. We are so dumb in helping ourselves, while Bollywood and Hollywood films are scattered all over the continent, we are at each others throat.

good thing to do, I do it all the time.. I wanna say thanks to my late grandparents for emphasizing that i learn how to do domestic chores at home cos when I came to the state, i was able to keep my house clean and cook my own food, my Independence characters are so strong, I never for once asked anybody to cook or help clean my house. living in this part of the world one have to learn how to help cos if you are married, you just have to help your family, you can't let your wife do all the house chores especially when children are involved.. It's good to help a lady, it doesn't take away anything from you.

he can build a dirty bomb, if he have the materials which are easy to get these day , thanks to the internet..Again, i sincerely doubt he claim, he is oneof those frustrated brother's with wishful thought..

We have to start from somewhere, the respect of the rule of law is very important in shaping up our society..

I am parent living in the state, it very hard to raise up children in this part of the world, I don't believe in beating but on some occasion, you just have to apply force to put them in check..In Africa it's a bit easy to raise up children because of our culture provided you pay close attention to them, but in the state, it 's very tough, we have a fusion of cultures and some not so sensible liberal policies. It very tough for parents over here, especially a society that sees single parenting as a trend.. very tough...Pastor Dollar live in ATL, that's a very big city in the South and the temptations in such cities make parenting a challenging occupation.I live in lake county in central Florida, I have decided to relocate to naija temporarily for four years the moment my children attain the ages of twelve. My reason is very simple and strategic, I want my children to have a solid cultural background and also to change their views about the realities of life, I wish myself luck and hope it worked..

We need somebody to do the dirty work, Rawlings did in Ghana, He killed all the crooked politicians from the 1960's and up, look at Ghana today.

Air Nigeria...

A mini video and documentary on Yoruba culture in sierra-Leone, it is very interesting and shows how people can preserve their culture for almost two centuries. They did a good job to keep it intact.. there three videos , the first is the Oje society"egungun", the next is the Ode society" hunters" and the last is a "jolly" which for teenager...
