Politics / Re: Why We Invaded The National Assembly And Fired Tear Gas At The Speaker-Police by ekolina(m): 8:20pm On Nov 20, 2014
desgiezd:

you guys are so silly, so d right thing to do by our so called honourable members n law makers is to break the barricade mounted by the Nigeria police to maintain law n order. I am ashamed of you all APC supporters I thought you were progressive. All those house of reps member should hide their face in shame. From the pictures above the police were maning the gate without assault to any body.
Some minds are so warped!!

We have seen pictures of police tear gas and people covering their noses to reduce the pepperish effect. We have also seen pictures of members scaling the gate when they were not allowed access, why then cant the police or their supporters like you and Chukwudi44 post pictures where Tambuwal and his boys attacked members of the Police Force?

FYI, there are more new roads in kebbi than in Lagos. Dakingarri has done very well in Kebbi. He was able to construct airport.

Okay we'v heard you. Now show us the projects in Taraba state and Kebbi state. Both are PDP states, show us what their PDP governors are doing.

The media attention and criticism on Lagos, Imo, Rivers, Edo and other APC state is getting too much and boring. Tell us about PDP states too. Lets know whats up in Bauchi, Bauchi state is also a PDP state

Education / Re: Covenant University Suspends Students 3 Weeks To Exams by ekolina(m): 5:04pm On Oct 15, 2014
Again a university student should be able to make his/her decision. what do u make of this: when you are in CU u dress like CEO but when out of CU, you dress like a music star. that is how ur students act
mrryon:


Which one of you friends is a registrar? He got his PhD at 28. Who says a PhD in Engineering is harder than a PhD in HRM?, The students here discover their selves within prescribed rules. The tatoos dont affect their Job performance, but honestly, what is your first impression of a girl in tats and leggings? Would you employ a lady with visible tats, leggings and piercing to work in your company as a receptionist when you open it? As for your cousins, you cannot use them as a yardstick to judge the remaining 7 thousand of us, most of which have been positively imparted. My friend, discipline, dedication, integrity and trustworthiness is what Nigeria yearns for, and even if CU does it in an annoying way, at least, they still try. i have no problems with Federal universities, my problem is with he who thinks CU has to be secular to be acceptable
Education / Re: Covenant University Suspends Students 3 Weeks To Exams by ekolina(m): 4:48pm On Oct 15, 2014
Good u got my point, you shouldn't cuz of a few students from federal uni run it down. CU is doing a good job no doubt but I am still of the believe that, one shouldn't be restricted in any settings called university. federal uni also got dress code, at least I can say of my school. why will I recruit a lady with tattoo as a receptionist, where appearance is key.

My problem with you is that you limit yourself to your world. I left the university just four years ago and I have class mates who about rounding up their Phd in schools around the USA and Canada and they are not up to 30years. These are guys doing phd in engineering, you are here making noise about phd in human resource management. My believe is that a university student should be allowed to discover himself. I work with one of the leading EPCI company in the world, here you see ladies and gents with tattoo all over their body, ladies wearing leggie and singlet to the office and that has not affected their performance on the job. FYI, I ve cousins in CU but their attitude is not better than we that went to federal uni
mrryon:


Our 33 year old Registrar was a pioneer student. He holds a doctorate In human resource management and he is in line to become one of the youngest professors in the country. If you had a budget of 700,000 to cover tuition, accomodation, books, library, and internet fees, would you send your child abroad when a university in Nigeria offers same teaching methods with most Universities abroad with an added advantage of raising a young, mature, thoroughly educated and vice free individual? I had admissions to study abroad but i chose here, even if some of the rules are quite unnecessary, i am in love with their vision, so i am committed to obeying those unnecessary rules. Thank you
Education / Re: Covenant University Suspends Students 3 Weeks To Exams by ekolina(m): 2:33pm On Oct 15, 2014
What I what you to get to your head is No federal university has 36 as bench mark. Also, federal uni got E-library. Learning in CU is very conducive I must say but I would rather send my ward to a school abroad. On a final note, is any of your alumni lecturer now?
mrryon:


I totally agree with you on that point, Majority of the lecturers and professors here are either white or from the federal universities. Points noted. But you should not forget the fact that CU is only 12 years old therefore it doesnt have dept with respect to old students turning into professors
Education / Re: Covenant University Suspends Students 3 Weeks To Exams by ekolina(m): 2:05pm On Oct 15, 2014
You spoke very well but I feel you need to enlighten yourself about university standards. FYI there is no federal university in Nigeria that has pass mark as 36 . Also, note that CU coming second in university ranking its not because of the number of spill overs(but because of the number of first class, 2.1 graduates and stability of your programs. that's, no strike) for federal university got more. Also of note is that two of your lecturers in chemical engineering are from the school I graduated and they have helped in a great way to restructure the departed.
mrryon:



I am a student here and even if I dont support a three week suspension for double piercing, we all signed an undertaking with respect to these rules and breaking these rules is equal to a breach of contract which is legally punishable. These rules are basic rules any responsible person wouldnt have a hard time obeying. As for the spillover issue, i think we are second best in Nigeria for a reason, and one of those reasons are the high standards here which are rarely compromised. Anything below 45 is an F and if anyone feels he is not comfortable with it, he should go to a Federal university where he can buy grades or pass with a 36. Like I always say, we are soaring, take a seat and watch if you dont want to come out of your comfort zones and soar with us
Education / Re: Covenant University Suspends Students 3 Weeks To Exams by ekolina(m): 1:43pm On Oct 15, 2014
Assuming a student fails a second semester course, doesn't that amount to a whole session? It happens even in federal and state schools so that's not a problem. also note that tuition is not paid by semester but by session as such there is no way u can dodge paying the whole fee
Ladystewie:
My point is, the course be carried over for one semester, not the whole session.
Why should the spillover students one back for one whole year just because of one course? And they pay the school fees, you know

Family / Re: She Doesn't Wear Her Wedding Ring Cos Her Husband Removed His Own by ekolina(m): 9:00am On Sep 29, 2014
There is a saying that two wrongs can not make a right. am sure we all have heard of this quote. the best any woman or man in such situation shld do is to wear both rings with out any fight.
Mondisweets: so if he decides not to wear a ring because he doesnt like it, she can't decide to to the same thing too because she doesnt like hers?

If too many immature men are getting married, is it not better they break the homes so everyone can leave in peace then? undecided


A man is supposed to be loyal and protect his marriage, not matter what! He isn't keen on doing that, so what's the point of the woman playing the role when its clearly he has no intentions of protecting the marriage?

BRO IDOMA IS THE COMMON LANGUAGE IN ETTE BUT THAT DIDNT MKE THEM IDOMA. OPINIONS SHOWS THAT THE PEOPLE OF PREFER TO BE CALLED IDOMA RATHER THAN IGBO OR ENUGU....HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT MEAN DEY DISLIKE IGBOS. FOR A FACT THE PEOPLE OF ETTE HAD INTERACTED AND LIVED PEACEFULLY WITH THE IGBO (THAT IS AJI, UMUBO ETC) FOR AGES. THE TENSION ON GROUND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE IGBOS JUST A SELECTED FEW FROM ETTE WHO FELT THEIR SOURCE OF WEALTH WILL BE CUT OFF IF ETTE CEDED. MORE SO, THE ENUGU STATE GOVT HAS DISTANT HERSELF FROM CLAIMS TO ETTE.
cooljude: Ok, thats your view. U sound very authoritative. So you are trying to say they are igala's, what about the sizeable number of idoma's there?
Politics / Re: 10 Houses Razed, Scores Injured In Enugu Community Over Move To Join Kogi by ekolina(m): 3:05pm On Sep 26, 2014
Your Dad misinformed u, Ette is not Nsuka and will never be Nsuka. Ette gets its traditional stool from Kogi(Igala Land) since time inmemorial and the people of Ette don't inter-marry with Nsuka. As a matter of fact you can count the number of homes with Igbo as wife. Those who understood Igbo did cuz of the proximity of Ette with Aji and Enugu-ezike
cooljude: I just asked my Dad. We are from Nsukka. He attest to the fact that it is a mixed village but it is a traditional Nsukka town. He said most of the other tribes migrated from their original settlement and any Igbo person would know that ndi Nsukka are very hospitable people, they welcome strangers with open hands and their were lots of inter-tribal marriage between this groups. That is why you would see a mixture of Igbo,Idoma and Igala. State your own point if you feel otherwise.

FYI. Igbos are not part of Ette community.
pazienza: Apparently, the Igalla elements of the town, want the town to be in Kogi, to sort of give them greater power in the town,seeing as there are more Igallas in Kogi. A move that would render the Igbo and Idoma elements as minorities. And it would appear that this battle is not recent, but have been on for decades now.

so you believe the town will remain the same way rite. I guess it must be over 10years since you left
OneNaira6:

I don't live in Nigeria, left when I was young, so I don't know streets; I don't even know how to get to my own village without family direction but I will tell you towns close to ette. Some of the towns/villages bothering close to Ette are Umuogboagu (idk if I spelled that right), Imufu, Aji, etc. I used to live in Enugu state mind you and during that era, my family traveled alot thanks to my father's work.
IDK where you getting the concept that ette has the best buildings. Unless I'm mistaking but the area is not the place you describing. It's not all huts like the other guy said but it's definitely not all great buildings. Then again, judging from your stanch, you most likely from ette so that's expected of you.

I can see u are also benefiting from the Enugu setting. How can you say those wanting to join Kogi are the minority. sincerely want have you benefited from Enugu can you even be bold enough to say you are Enugu when you go outside that is your school or work place. How can you people allow greed take over your hearts.
Lordlexyy: Etteh is my community. Boundary wise, the community is situated in Enugu state. In terms of culture, it has very little in connection with the Idomas and not the Igalas. The language spoken are predominantly Idoma. Igbo language comes second for areas that are regarded as igbos. Igala language is meanly spoken by some few who believe they are Igalas. To be honest, the Etteh community ideologically believes they are Igbos and has very little in connection to both the Igalas and the Idomas. You find most of the people there speaking the three languages fluently and intermix very well. This whole crisis of identity wouldn't have surfaced in the first place if the not for some of the Igbos and their culture of segregation where others are regarded more Igbos than the others. The same people will say Enugu or Ebonyi is not pure Igbo but 'wawa', some Enugu will say Etteh is not pure Igbo but a mixture of two. If Etteh was long embrace and made to feel among by the Igbos, none of this cultural conflict would have surface. Those minority group wanting to joint Kogi are doing so because they felt they majority are more recognised and therefore benefit more by the Enugu gov't. Inspite of the upheaval, i believe the brotherliness and oneness of Etteh is beyond culture, language or tribe. PROUDLY ETTEH.

You are very correct sir......no body from ette is from Enugu. ette is just a community that shares boundary with Enugu. they all are igala speaking including those that wants to remain. the community chief was crowned by attah of igala and he gets his monthly pay from kogi and not Enugu. Is so unfortunate greed is making some people disown their kins.
OneNaira6: Hian Igala people, una wan destroy Igboland for us. Abi wetin be una problem? grin grin

On serious note though, I think I see where they are coming from, I know I have the exact feelings when it comes to my own community. Personally, I believe they should conduct a referedum, the group that wants to join kogi can join kogi and the ones that want to stay in Enugu state can stay. Well then again, who knows, it might be a mixed situation. The groups villages might be intertwined so dividing it might be difficult. Who knows. One thing I know for sure, it's stupid what happened. Aren't they supposed to be kinsmen? So why are they killing themselves because of states? Stupidity on the highest.

As for the person that stated Ette is a mixed community. Unless I'm mistaking but I could have sworn Ette is predominately an Igala community residing close to Igbo community. the Igbos and Igalas do not share Ette. The area is just close to Igbo towns. Enugu state people do correct me if I'm wrong.
