All these sky scrappers , are they companies? Or houses people live

Most of them are offices and hotels. A few of them are condos people live in. I have a friend who lives in one of such condos. The view is awesome, but the monthly rent will drill holes in your pockets.

Which elders, elders that don't respected themselves. A friend of mine told me how he almost got defrauded in buying land in the village. The suppose seller went to bribe an elderly man with N5,000 for him to claim to be his father so they could sell a land belonging to their kindred. I'm talking of an elderly man in his late 60's. What lessons will he pass the younger ones by that singular act.

There are many people now involved in homosexuality in Nigeria than ever before, who knows if your close is one, you never can tell. I totally do not have anything wrong with homosexuality so long as it does not intimidate or forceful coerce the person next to you. The moment africans become open minded, the better for us. For the fact that you so much love eating egusi soup, won't make a Chinese man hate you because you're eating what they haven't eaten before. We should all learn to judge from people's perspective not always ours.

The same marriage where men buy their wife as their property in the name of bride price and beat her up mercilessly and no justice to protect her from all forms of domestics violence. The same marriage where men marry and keep their wives at home to be bearing children while they go out there to be chasing after young girls old enough to be their daughter and no one sees anything wrong with it and the wife keeps quiet, but the moment the woman sleep with her ex in other to find solace, she will be labed a harlot and would be sent packing to her father's house. How can you respect a marriage where the man doesn't respect the woman's feeling, certainly that's not respected marriage

What a country!

bro why the bitterness? you only gave an example of one old man of 60 years in your village but I know you greet your father when u see him, you will even carry load for him if you meet him with it and you won't argue with your village elders when they are talking. Let's talk about homo, is it no longer punished with 14 yrs? You just want to argue for nothing forgetting that Frank don't need this, how come it's only bad marriage you mention don't u c husbands buying gifts of cars and houses for their wives too? bruh as Frank said Akata don't have culture, if you come across one you should remind them who they are not only what they have.
