I like her boldness.

I am sure they will get what they deserve in prison. I am not against homosegxwal but feel they need to relocate to Europe or America where they are openly tolerated these days. Africa especially Nigeria is not the best place for them. Homosegxwality is not biological disorder contrary to what some fools are using as excuse. There are many people born with more or less of opposite sex genes yet, they are segxwally attracted to opposite sex. It is political and social life style. I would't persecute homosegxwals in any ways but wouldn't want them around me honestly. They really disgust me - that is my fundamental human right. It is either they move or I move. There are lots of things that I would like to do in the name of human rights but for sanity sake refrain from doing  them. The fact that homosegxwals are using human rights and biological traits as excuses show how depraved they are. I see them as perverts that are ill/sick hence require treatments and help. Unfortunately Africa is not the ideal place to get such help or treatments. You guys will end up with African help or treatments we all know about..please run away. Go and get your fundamental human rights in Europe or America otherwise fundamental human deaths await you.

No makeup! You must be an idiot to believe that.

Of course the Igbos dominate  the so called Nollywood. I 100% agree with Halima but the Igbos have created and given opportunities to actors from other tribes namely Omotola, Ramsey Noah, Ini Edo, Mercy Johnson and many more. The Igbos have sacrificed their cultures and traditions to reach out to wide markets by adopting English as the DE-factor language for films/movies. Personally, I am not impressed but do understand the business sense to that. You cannot preserve your way of life and expect all to embrace what you have to offer. Halima is frustrated because she believes she has a lot in common with the Igbos and yet not getting the roles she deserves. Interesting to read that she is not a Muslim or Hausa. Keep trying sister and do communicate more. You need to let people feel you and know you after all Mercy Johnson is not better than you. However, Nollywood as you know it is Igbo baby and there isn't a lot many people can do to change that. Watch out for independent producers. I will join Nigeria Film market next year as an international producer having researched extensively abroad over the years.

I agree with you Halima but don't care that much. If I was into film business in Nigeria, I would find it very difficult to hire non-Igbo person. I will look for non-Igbo person(s) when Ashawo (prostitutes) and gate man roles are required. The likes of Olu Jacob, Ini Edo, Omotola and them lot will find it difficult to get  parts in my Films. You tell me what these people can offer that non-Igbo person cannot offer more. The point to this is you and your non-Igbo superstars should be grateful with the crumbs that fall your way and continue respecting the Igbo people for what they are.

This old hag - hasn't it dried up yet?

Let me state that I am not a Muslim. I am from the Eastern region of Nigeria where most people are predominately Christians. I am however educated enough to know when I am being deceived. Sheikh Gumi is closer to the truth in his analysis and fair in his deductions. Whether you like it or not, Christianity is and was a Religion founded in lies so it is very difficult for Christians to start telling the truth now. They have to maintain the lies (status quo) otherwise the concept is vain. I am no way condemning Christians or Christianity. One is entitled to his or her belief but when one is prepared to do almost anything to force one's belief on others, that is when problems start as in the cases of both Muslim and Christians.
Jesus didn't not die on the cross we all know that. Jesus was crucified and I am still waiting for someone to describe the shape of the wood Jesus was crucified on. We all know that it wasn't the shape of the cross the KKK use to lynch Niggers or the shape of the cross that is used by European and people of European decent as their Secret Society/Cultism symbol. That cross is now being used by Christians all over the world. Jesus wasn't physically resurrected. IF resurrection ever occurred it was in the visions of the believers. So you can't wake from your dreams after nights of drunkenness to start telling the whole world that the earth is flat. Jesus is not GOD we equally know that. That doesn't stop individuals with deranged minds and belief narrating how Jesus appeared in their dreams last night.
The fact is whether you like it or not, Europeans or people you call White people and Arabs will not like to see anything good falls into the shores of Africa or in the hands of Africans and people of African decent anywhere in the world. On that basis, if the mainstream religions (Christianity and Muslim) are any good, beneficial and progressive as the founders are claiming both spiritually and physically, they wouldn't share these with my brothers and sisters in Africa. What they will share with you is any concept that will keep you in perpetual slavery and that is exactly what these religious beliefs are doing in Africa.
So Sheikh Gumi, I don't bloody care the manner of death your Jesus encountered. What I care about is Easter or Christmas times provide splendid opportunities to spend quality times with good folks. I will indeed be kind enough to offer you good drinks if you knock on my door during one of these times. Please stop killing innocent people. I fail to see how Allah can be merciful or forgiving for shedding innocent bloods.

This woman is very very disturbed.

Do you know how many people world wide Christians sacrifice yearly to appease their gods. When you celebrate Christmas what actually do you think you are celebrating as a Christian. Christianity is no doubt an ideal religion for Europeans but not Africans.

This has been on the radar. Those of you that call this discovery or if you like concept mad, could you please explain to me what religion did people of IGBO extraction practiced before the invasion of European culture that you call Christianity today? Traditional African Religion of course some of you may. But what was it embedded into? The answer is Judaism.
For Christianity to be successful in Africa, the Europeans deliberately embedded it into the Traditional African Religion. So the author of this article made a very good point by using the word 're-discovery'. Re-discovery in the sense that it has always been there but hidden when the Europeans used all the guiles to deceive Africans in believing that Christianity is the only way.
Today, Africans have realized the hidden secrets of Christianity. The wise ones are re-branding this concept to reflect more to African's way of life. The lazy ones are still practicing and swallowing the poison that was injected in them years back by Europeans. Which ever way you choose to go and what ever you choose to believe, the fact remains knowing what you know about Europeans today, do they really seem to you the type of people that will take anything good and beneficial to Africa and Africans.
I am an IGBO man and not a Christian. I practice Traditional African Religion. I am educated enough to say that my Traditional African Religion today is similar to Judaism not Christianity.
Remember the Traditional African Religion was in existence before Christianity and European invasion. That means Jews way of life was part and parcel of Ndigbo's way of life. Does that mean that Ndigbo are Jews. My answer is no. Ndigbo are IGBOs and Jews are Jewish. Judaism is not practiced by every Hebrews. It is practiced by parts of Hebrews (the tribe of Judah). There are other tribes of Hebrews with religion similar to Judaism that doesn't mean that they are Jews.

If this story is true that then is a good news for brother Okotie. I hope this clown will come to his senses and take full responsibility of his daughter. Chris Okotie is a business man not man of GOD as many people portray him. He is the devil advocate that discovered the subtleties of deceiving people of the weak minds early in life. He is not a genius because he takes advantage of the insecure, sensitive, mentally deranged and ignorant souls that crowd his domain every given Sunday both home and abroad. I appreciated his talents in interpreting songs and respect his oratory and eloquence. However, he has destroyed his aura by portraying himself as the Robin Hood of the weak minds. Time is up brother Okotie. We all make mistakes but for someone that uses the Bible as a moral lamppost one wonders what you teach those fools that believe in you.

It is not my business how many times you marry. My problem with you and other Pastors is how you use GOD or your religion to deceive innocent men and women. I put it to you that GOD never revealed to you whom and when to marry you shit head. You have made your money now and it seems that you have problems with your personal life, why don't you stop deceiving people and go an cure yourself. Did GOD instruct you not to have children? What is the essence of marriage if not to have offspring? How do we know that you are capable of having children? For a self-proclaimed man of GOD , I am beginning to suspect you.

This man drinks too much.

UK baby! I don't know why you have been wasting your time searching and hoping whilst I am here. I am the man for you. I have been prepared and sent by Owumiri (River GOD) to you. It saddens me to learn your sufferings from men not meant for you. It is gonna be difficult now you have become fully anointed because Church is not the place for me. Abdicate your clergy and come home to Daddy.
Come home baby let me wipe off your make-ups, teach you how to talk properly and give you the full respect you deserve as the most talented actor in Nolly-wood. I know you are in church business for money. You don't have to worry about that when you are with me because I got loads of it.

It doesn't matter to me where he comes from. Yoruba, Hausa and Fulanis are sub-humans and will always be. I can live to trust Hausa and Fulani than Yoruba people. At least I know what Hausa and Fulani stand for. I may not agree with it but hell knows what Yoruba people stand for. That so called Boko Haram leader, if the story is true, now you have finished slaughtering innocent men, women and children in the North why don't you switch your subhuman and devilish actions to your people. Fools..

Super article and well written. I have been very ignorant and ill-informed about the Northern issues. Thank you my dear friend for such an educational article. I would advise you and your kind to impose your tribes more to avoid this vast ignorance. Remember that children will grow with the knowledge Adults and the mass media impact on them.
Nevertheless, I wouldn't be rude to anyone for not having good command of the language (English). Having good command of the language does not depict wisdom, knowledge or good intelligence. You can see that in some of us in the South who can be as idiotic as a sweeping broom, speak better English than Prince Charles (the Prince of Wales) but yet languish in quagmire of ignorance.

How can you advise married women on issues you don't understand or are not good at? It will be like a blind person leading non-blind persons.

Deranged mind. It is not worth asking to kill this mad man or continue giving him publicity. This is another example of sub humans hiding in aegis of Islam. I now feel sorry for you and your people because you are deformed in mind and brain. Part of human development is to use knowledge gained from reading and training to enhance our lives.
Could this deformed dog justify killings of other human beings simply because their ideologies are different from his. It is a shame that we Africans are using religious beliefs introduced to us by foreigners to kill ourselves. I don't believe Allah will have mercy on your soul or pardon your sins because you were not at war against anyone, groups or nations. Jonathan can be accused of many things however it is fair to say that he has made efforts to reach out to Muslims in Nigeria. You took up arms because Jonathan Goodluck a Christian assumed office of the President of Nigeria. That is selfishness and please read more about it in Quran.
Anyway, may your GOD have mercy on you and your followers.

Whoever wants to take my post personal should do so..I don't particurlay care. Boko Haram started these slaughter of innocent women and children. I don't recollect any war being declared in Nigeria so could you spineless do right folks explain to me why would Boko Haram be slaughtering innocent men, women and children. Could anyone please explain to me what is the objective of Boko Haram? What exactly do they want? Why are they taking up arms? In all fairness they are entitled to their opinion but what is their opinion? If they don't like Jonathan Goodluck there are ways of cnfornting Goodluck Jonathan other than indescriminate bombings. They are also entittled not to like the west or western civilization. I don't particularly like every aspect of western civilisation but that doesn't mean I should start attacking them or their ineterests.
I am an Igbo man but will not enagage in any Christian against Muslim wars. If christians feel agrieved they should fight their own fights.The last Biafra war was about freedom to live in the land of my fathers free from intimidations and bullying. We have achived that. If Boko Haram want to attack me simply because I am an Igbo man or because of my traditional belief, I will use every means necessary to defend myself and my interests. If it involves obtaining and using chemical weapon I will not hestitate to use it on those subhumans in the north. The Huasas have nothing to contribute to my development or education as an Igbo man.  I don't have anything in common with them or their kind and I despise their beings. I hope they will continue their act of desperations by extending their killings to the south east. That is when we will show them what killing is all about. The British are too weak economically to feed themselves thesedays let alone offer millarty support.
Boko Haram or boko harash or whatever you call yourselves..well done. The devil is using you to manifest state of Biafra. If you have to slaughter your people including women and children to inaugurate Biafra I will be the last person to condemn you.
The sooner you hypocrites realise that that failed state Nigeria is finished, the better you will start negotiating positive deals for your tribes.
As for Egbesu Fraternity, you have my support. I am disappointed that you didn't kill enough of those idiots instead you wasted your efforts scratching children. Better luck next time. What you have done is to make Boko Haram think twice before planting any other bombs. Don't listen to the views of those spinelesss fools in this forum. Biafra forever..
