Revenue and Engagement farming should not be the reason why some of you big Igbo accounts create Umunna/Umuada on X, twisting our culture and suggesting ridiculous takes
Putting out these cultural misrepresentationd and twisted history into the media gradually changes originality
NDi igbo needs to start telling their story, history, culture and lifestyle before these money mongers with big account turns our culture upside down for X revenue

Everybody in Nigeria already knows the 2027 election result ππΌ:
Winner - Peter Obi @PeterObi
2nd position - BAT @officialABAT
3rd Position- Atiku @atiku
But the winner will be operating from Agulu Tiktok, not Aso rock.

No Igbo family will ever bury the remain of their loved one in a cemetery
No matter the mansion you have in the city, you remains must go home to your ansectral home
When a Igbo man dies with No wife or children, his Age grade and kindred must bring him home No matter where his body is, it is their obligation
Even a man with no block in village always have a burial spot
Even when a body is missing, a grave is a dugged with coffin containing cloth or personal effect of the deceased to mark a spot for remembrance
Igbo sons have the obligation to maintain their fathers grave
Time to Time they gather their kinsmen, make prayers over the grave, Then weed grasses and retile the grave
They spend time beside the grave relishing fond memories about the deceased over plates of yam and Native fowl
When our married daughters die, on her burial day her husband drives her coffin to her father's compound
The eldest in her kindred, Family and compound stands outside to identify her, the ambulance drives into her compound with back but must remain at the gate
From there to her husband's compound for burial
If an Man or woman is fond of her maternal home, was trained by them or grew up with them they have right to identify the remain no matter the proximity
Tell me how possible it is to do all these if the body is in a public cemetery
Onye Igbo is precious to NDi Igbo even in death, we don't let go or forget them

When an Igbo man dies aboard
His friends over there contributes millions to bring his body home to his people
They owe him that respect, love and accountability
They do that not because money is over flowing but because NDi igbo believe in Reincarnation
Death is not end, for you to reincarnate again you must be able to find your way home and we help by burying the body in the family compound
It is wickedness to keep your loved one outside together with strangers, thieves and dead mad people
Even Indians always go home, they keep the dead close by incremating and storing Ash
Please you all should keep your wokeism and religious stupidity to your stupid selves
It's not that difficult. Tell your children to throw you inside the waste bin. Death is death.
The fact that we do not have many cemeteries and that we mostly bury the dead in our homes in the Southeast is not something to be proud of.
That culture has to change in this age because We definitely need cemeteries. Some communities are now looking like cemeteries, with grave littered in every compound, due to years of burying all their family in their homes.
yes we should bring our deceased loved ones home to bury them but it must not be in our homes.
Some communities do not even have lands or spaces to bury the dead anymore because they never made plans for it.
Traditions are man made. change is constant, we need to be evolve with time!

If your logic is right, then Igbos should have had the best governors from 1999 to date. But no; rather, Aba people were celebrating a water fountain and a Julius Berger logo well into 2024. Also, Okezie Ikpeazα»₯ gave pregnant women palliative of #500. Shame suppose catch una.
My own joy going into the 2027 election is that Peter Obi will never be referred to as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Oya, start crying in the comment section as usual.
Lazy people will hold up to umunna as an excuse for their failure instead of complaining about their bad business decisions of understand that every venture is risky. If everybody blames umunna, then, your father is as well guilty because he is also a member of umunna.
You no go blame us wey believe say village people dey
My senior brother followed my dad home earlier this year to start attending kinsmen meetings, they were meant to stay 4days at the villa attended meetings but on the second day while attending meeting he received a call that he's fired from work.
1week later after spending 4days and returning from villa he was robbed at gun point and millions of naira people sent to him to buy materials for their work were withdrawed by the robbers and his phones gone too, he entered debt and our family had to sell properties to pay that debt.
Months later he was scammed almost 3m by someone he always sent money to buy electric bike for his customers because that's what he sells, and that's how he entered another millions of debt and we had to sell another property to clear that debt.
All this happened within 2 months of him attending that kinsmen meeting with my dad for the first time and my senior brother went back to zero, he's been doing good and his business growing until he decided to start attending kinsmen meeting and now he's back to square one.
So after all this thing how do you now convince us that his problem is not from that trip he made to villa with my dad to start attending kinsmen meetings?
Because it's not coincidence that his downfall started after he started attending kinsmen meeting.
Rochas was broke?
Change your supplier. That source is affecting your brain cells.
Do not marry a man/woman who is the only good person in his/her family. A man/woman who is not on good terms with anyone in his or her family, whether on the mother's side or the father's side, should be a red flag. You cannot be the only victim while everyone else is a villain.
His sisters and uncles, with whom he wasn't on good terms."
There are three sides to every story. Maybe you should have asked your dad's sisters and uncles why they weren't on good terms with him.
You know, your late dad cannot be entirely right.
After my father died, his sisters and uncles that he wasnβt in good terms with wanted to decide how and when weβd bury him. For peace sake, we agreed . They fixed a date and went MIA on us. Lol. We did it without them and cut them off .
If Toluwanisings didnβt have a relationship with βthoseβ people after conversion, they have no right to dictate how he should be buried. Whatβs even this??
You tried to avoid something there. She doesn't want him buried in the house he built, good and fine. What stops her from burying him in his hometown? She cannot the both options and cry victimhood. A man's identity is also tied to his origin, not wife's decision.
To be honest, I didnβt want to put my mouth in this matter, but bullying a young widow is something I wouldnβt wish on any woman.
Tell me why you would want to bury your husband in the same compound where you and your children live, instead of taking him to his ancestral home or a cemetery? Imagine waking up every single day with your children and being reminded of your husbandβs death because his grave is right there in the compound. That alone is heartbreaking and emotionally draining.
The woman has lost her husband. She is grieving, raising children and trying to figure out how to move forward with her life. Why are people making things even harder for her?
And even if she eventually decides to sell the house, what exactly is the problem? It is the house she lives in with her children, and she needs all the financial support she can get to raise them. She shouldnβt have to sacrifice her future and her childrenβs well-being just to satisfy public opinion.
Please, let this woman breathe. She has lost enough already. Stop bullying her. A little compassion costs nothing, and nobody knows who will find themselves in her shoes tomorrow.
"low-key, women are breadwinners in most family".
Breadwinners, write your will and put the names of your children and husband on your asset so that no family members will have the drag the asset you got with your hard earned money.
We men no see life come. Men should write their will. You feminist claim that low-key, women are the breadwinners of most fΓ‘milies. What stops the breadwinner from writing her will?

I saw a post by someone who isnβt a resident of Nigeria and who, I believe, is now a citizen of a foreign country. That person said that even if Peter doesnβt win, theyβre happy that Peter Obi never became the ADCβs vice-presidential candidate. I smiled and laughed. I am not here to say who should or shouldnβt be the vice-presidential candidate. It doesnβt really concern me any more. I am not a member of the ADC, and that stage has passed. But what Iβm going to say, as a sort of piece of advice, is that for whoever, particularly for the South-East region, you might not like Obi, or you might like him; either way, one thing he did in the last election was that he carved out a niche for himself. He created a conversation about an Igbo presidency, which made sense.
I didnβt support him in the last election because i didnβt believe he was going to get the number of votes he pulled, but he surprised a lot of us. However, the reality today is that, especially when you look at the campaign councils of the NDC, it looks ludicrous, as i doubt it was well thought out. Personally, i feel it is high time we in the South-East started playing politics that benefits our region. We supported Peter Obi very well, even when he ran as a vice-presidential candidate. We have given him massive love and support, but if you ask me, I might be insulted; some people might call me names, which is fine. I would say that the South-East should give 25% to the three main political parties, or even four. Let us play pragmatic politics so that, at the end of the day, whoever wins will benefit us as a people.
Strategically, what use is it to go out and vote for one person again, only for that person not to win, and then they say, βOh, weβre not ready to play politics,β blah, blah, blah, blah, blah? So why donβt we play this politics once and for all, like the South-west normally does? Every serious presidential candidate from any region on the ballot gets something from the South-west. But in this cycle, I donβt know if it will be the same. In the past, you would at least see a good number of people vote for a candidate from that region. It is quite sad that our region hasnβt realised its full potential. But I pray that someday they realise that we need to take politics seriously. We canβt flourish only in business; we also need to flourish in politics.
