Let no one cry wolf. Thank you all!Pls chino nwannem don't fall into the fool's trap cos that is exactly what he wants. At least you are not jobless like him |
Oya show us your real pic and the catfished version |
RIP Nwanyi oma. Anambra my state seem to have buried a lot of its elites of late. We the young generation seriously need to make replacements. Let's glow and break barriers, cos greatness is in us. #proudlyanambrarian# |
Peeps are already geared for the registrations. The banks in school from tomorrow will definitely be overcrowded. But if u smart you can get everything done in time. Goodluck to all prospective zikites |
Never knew this before now. Its not fair that important history like this is hidden from the young folks. Like Achebe did before dying, our old men should better start telling us the truth about our past, else the whites tell us all the lies. |
Kaduna is termed centre of education or center of learning because of the many tertiary educational institutions in the state. From ABU to NDA to Nat. Teachers Inst. to Nig. Aviation college to Kaduna poly and so on. Kaduna is infact sometimes referred ro as the federal govt bride cos the state is so favoured by the govt. Repin Light of the Nation sha. #willyisworking# |
double0seven: Very stupid explanation and reason for seizing the microphone from a seating governor. They have you a whole 20 million naira. You ought to have rejected it because you should have known there was no way a government can keep as a secret such a huge donation.....Charly boy is still a boy like his name implies |
Following last weekend’s reports that Charles Oputa (a.k.a Charly Boy) embarrassed Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State at the funeral mass of his late father, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa. The maverick musician, in this interview, explains what informed his action, among other things: BENJAMIN NJOKU You gave your father a befitting burial. How did it go? Everything went fine. We give God the glory. I feel a sense of relief now. Relief, because the troubles associated with burial arrangements have been over. The stress has reduced. I quit smoking for over five years now, but I started smoking again about three weeks ago because I was running mental, preparing for my father’s rites of passage. I have had this discussion with him almost a year ago when I asked him how he would want to be buried and what would be his expectations. He replied saying that ‘ I know that no matter what I tell you now, it would end up being the Charley Boy show. Even at that, I would be happy but all I would say is this: don’t spend too much money.’ This is because he was a simple man nature. My father was always worried concerning how I do things because I have never done things in small measure. I thank God for his mercies that I was ready for this, mentally and spiritually. Though I would have wished that God had given us more time, but that is the reality of life. I am happy that I am able to give my father a befitting burial. Were you happy with the way the burial was organised? Nothing good comes easily. I delegated duties and that was what helped me. But to a large extent, as an event organiser, I would give myself a pass mark. Were you satisfied with the level of state and federal governments’ participation in the burial? I set out to bury my father without expecting anything from anybody.That was why I had kept saying, after my father’s death, that we are going to be responsible for his burial rites. We fixed the date by ourselves and I wasn’t relying on anybody for anything. But if anybody wants to be part of the burial arrangement ,there’s no problem. But it made headlines last Saturday that you snatched the microphone from Owelle Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State, at the funeral service. What informed your action? I didn’t embarrass him. You can believe anything you read from the dailies. But I can’t go out of my way to embarrass anybody. I only insisted that I wouldn’t tolerate people with bad political breath to preside over my father’s burial rites. The corpse belonged to the Oputa family, and not the state or federal government. Being Charley Boy, my action creates a lot of controversies. I am not a politician and I can never be one. I don’t do things the way every other person would want to do them. My own things are bound to be a little different. Integrity is my watchword and when I give you my word, you can go to sleep. I expect same from people who deal with me. I didn’t understand why somebody would graciously choose to assist us by making a donation to the family and thereafter, they went on air to announce it. That was not a gentleman action and it was what really angered me. Secondly, three days after my father’s death, I sounded a note of warning that it won’t turn to a political thing. You know the kind of father I had, and what he stood for. I don’t want them to politicise his burial rites. After they made the donation, and I never denied that they didn’t give us money. But I was embarrassed that they were announcing it over the radio and in the pages of newspapers. If you are doing something with the family, first of all, we are the chief mourner, as well as Governor Rochas Okorocha, but it would be proper that they confide in the family in whatever they were planning to do in respect of the buruial rites. If there is something we can bring to the table to enhance it, then it would be to the credit of the governor. But he didn’t do that and they were all shifty. We didn’t know what they were planning, they didn’t care to know what we were planning. We learnt Okorocha paid you a visit at your place? How can he visit my place when he has my telephone number? He should know I don’t reside here (in the village) and I have not returned home. It’s just a phone call, ‘Charles where are you? And I would tell him where I am. After all, he’s always in Abuja. What stopped him from putting a call across to me? If he doesn’t know how to reach me even a truck pushers have my number, how much more the governor of a state? If he has a desire to contact anybody, he will do so with ease. How could he embark on a journey to a place he is not familiar with? These are the things we are talking about. He didn’t deem it necessary to contact the bereaved family that he was paying us a condolence visit before embarking on the journey. And when he came, he talked to one ‘village boy’ who claimed to be representing the family. What’s all that rubbish for? Was it what informed your action at the funeral service? First of all, I am not a church goer. I am a Buddhist, though I was born into the Catholic doctrine. And part of my reason for not going to church is the fact that I have been to a lot of churches. For the first 20 years of my life, I was a mass servant. I was an ‘altar boy’ because my father was a disciplinarian. If you don’t go to morning mass, you are bound to be in trouble. I did all that for 20 years, and that’s the kind of background I was coming from. But things have changed regarding the mode of worship in most churches. They spend more time than necessary. Why should we be praying for two to three hours non-stop? I have other things to do. At the funeral service, I was told that Mr. President’s representatives and other dignitaries have arrived my home town. Unfortuantely, one of my legs was paining me, and that was why, if you were in church that day, I was sitting down throughout. People didn’t understand why I was sitting down. I couldn’t stand up for too long. Now, we have spent about two to three hours in the church. We couldn’t afford to give all the politicians that attended the funeral rites the opportunity to pay tribute to my late father. I felt the only person who should deliver a speech was Mr. President’s representative. At that point, I was so stressed and tired. All I wanted was to commit my father’s remains into the mother earth. So, I insisted, as the eldest son of Justice Oputa, I decide how things were going to be done. At that point, I said please, no more talk, it’s too much, let one person speak so we can go and finish the business. That was what happened but you know people will misinterpret it. That is their business, not mine. |
The old always see things differently |
Abagworo: Does it mean we've lost all those pictures?Yes. And it also means we've lost many pages of ur nonsense e-fight with ur likes. Let this be like a new year. Make new resolutions |
Greetings! What will it take to get this thread to the front page? I believe a lotta zikites on this site dont about this thread. Its due for fp na... Abi no be so? |
charles477: Ok, thanks, I want to say that the test was been done in a federal hospital. I av the mindset that they would use the most specific tools in testing, I didn't wanna do it at any of the road side labs. Do u think differently about the accuracy of a govt hospital test.From what i've observed, govt hospitals and big private hospitals who offer HIV care are about the best places to get accurately tested. But like i said before, to clear any doubt the accuracy of the test, request for an Antigen test. |
Ebonygift: We unizik Student Make our New year Resolution!We must stop intimidating students( anti-cult). We must stop favouritism(DOT) |
Idoma Likita: I'm sorry to Digress! But I see this as an Appropriate forum to raise this issue!Seriously issues like this needs to be looked into by the appropriate bodies. I think its hypocritical when the govt carry out campaigns urging everyone to go and test for these viruses, making it sound like a simple issue, when they dont have friendly policies as regards employment of people living with these viruses. Its bearable when private establishments discriminate against people living with these viruses, but in the case of the govt, its very bad in my opinion. . THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT THE SPREAD OF VIRAL INFECTIONS LIKE HEPATITIS AND HIV IS TO STOP STIGMATIZATION. |
Thank you Op for this beautiful exposition. I think its time our legislators both in the states and federal level look into this issue of stigmatization due to ones health status. Weather HIV or Hepatitis, employers should'nt refuse one employment cos of that. If a HIV +ve person for example is refused employment becase of his status, dont you think that frustration and anoyance can lead such person into spreading the virus to others? |
FreeGlobe: The Chime thread was the straw that broke the Carmel's back. in case you missed it here you go: https://www.nairaland.com/1580749/chime-declares-support-jonathanBut seriously bro, frustration is real bad. Tribalism can push some fellas to the brink. |
Mightymanna: Hahahahahahaha igbo dream and fantasy never end kai wonder dey igboland imagine they just open a thread and start pouring poo inside.anyway continue wetting your pant in your daily dream about igbo pressident or vice pressident. but i promised you it never happen you will suprise when GEJ hand over power to northern nigeria i think you guys will cry blood.the north is even trying to stop GEJ in 2015 talkless of 2019 how do you think you can win election without northern votes?I'm sorry to say this, but you are a FOOL. Your kins are here celebrating their fustrations and you are falling for it. |
lacasa: I swear, being on Nairaland for some time has confirmed one thing to a whole lot of people like myself.If your judgement is based on the trash being typed by the op and ilugunboy on this thread then you are either foolish or ignorant. |
If the national conference will lead to the division of nigeria into federating units still under one nigeria, then its all good. |
charles477: I have a question, I had unprotected sex sometime in september, and the relationship went sour around october, av been having bitter taste in mouth, though its gone now, but I had to treat malaria thrice(3), highest av treated malaria is twice, after the first two drugs, d doctor at UPTH, ordered anoda Malaria test which I did and it came positive for malaria, so the third drug he prescribed I think cleared it, but out of curiousity by December 27th I ran an HIV test, got the result to be Negative four days later. My major question is does HIV come with bitter taste in mouth too, just as I read that the symptoms are not specific. And my running a test at end of december can it be considered outside the window.From your explanation, you had the unprotected sex at september while you tested negative for HIV at december. Thats about 3months right? From what i know, HIV virus takes about 8weeks to incubate and spread in the human body. By this time, its likely that the virus must have multiplied to a detectable level in the body such that the normal antibody test(which is the usual test done in most labs for someone with unknown status) could detect the virus. . So bro, i think you have two options here; 1. Go for another HIV test by february or march. Or 2. Go to a heart to heart center and request for an antigen test for HIV. This test might cost you money but after a few days you will know for sure weather you have the virus or not cos this test is more accurate than the usual HIV antibody test. |
chino11: I was with Emeka Offor today at Barnhills Resort- Awka for an introduction of our firm's services to him..Chei! Chino nwannem, idi egwu! |
Chai! Tribalism is a disease. Look what it has turned some fellas into. |
IAMBREEZY: That guy can't be a billionaire atall i dunno why some bloggers like twisting things.Then you dont know Emeka offor at all. I think last 2 years(2012) or so, his foundation donated books worth 2 billion naira to schools across the country. |
FreeGlobe: it is not a secret that Ngige's 3 year tenure is far better than Obi's 8 years. Even if you give obi 100 Years, I'm not sure he will have the capacity to outperform Ngige's 3 Years considering his penchant for using state funds for his private business. Anambra state has not recorded any progress under Peter obiYou've really not told us what your case is with obi. |
Beautiful i must say. Akwa ibom must be swimming in money. |
Keke Why not motorcycles? Abi federal govt don ban bike for borders? |
Mr Aboki: OKIJA JUJUs PROPHECY FOR 2014..Go create your own thread. No dull this one abeg |
*Anyone that claims that mud houses are non-existent in igboland is a LIAR. *In comparison to other parts of the country, igboland has the least number of mud houses. *Areas of igboland where mud houses are likely to be found are: the very rural communities of nsukka, ebonyi, riverine areas of anambra & imo and so on. . We should learn to avoid telling lies over stuff we are not sure of. We should'nt paint a false image of igboland simply because we want to get cheap e-glory. That you've not seen a mud house in your village( the one you visit only during christmas), does not mean it does'nt exist in other areas of igboland. Most igbo villages are filled with good looking modern houses no doubt. Infact, some of those houses are far more beautiful than those in the cities and every now and then, more beautiful designs are being built. . So, in summary, igboland has got the most beautiful villages in nigeria. But to say ALL these villages are without mud houses in them is a WHITE LIE. |
How is unizik fm doing? |
Many people are getting infected with HIV via non-sexual means. Serious orientation is needed cos it appears we all are focussed on the sex thing and have forgotten the other means of transmission. |
