This man is the Seyi Vodi of the shoe industry in Nigeria. See the one-of-one shoe he’s selling for ₦25 million. 😳

I am Igbo, an identity that existed long before the colonial construct called Nigeria. My ancestors were Igbo long before Lord Lugard was born. I didn’t become Igbo because of Nigeria.

Why do some of you get pissed whenever I refer Anambra as ISI-IGBO?

Highly intelligent, highly exposed are better qualities one seeks in a woman than all the BBL in the world. The intellectual intercourse makes the physical intercourse better.

TEA AND BREAD FOR UMU-ADA. Not all UMU-ADA in igboland sleeps over whenever their member is being buried...like my kindred UMUADA...they don't sleep over...they gather same day their member is being buried...do their funeral rites and go home and it pains me. My maternal home (ikwunne) UMU-ADA sleeps over whenever their member is being buried...My mum doesn't miss that sleeping over aspect..I asked her one day why do u people sleep over there? She said it's becos of "Obi-Nwanne".. Ịfụnanya anyị nweru ebe nwanne anyị nọ mere anyi bụ ụmụ ada ji anọkọ welu kwanyere ya úgwù ikpeazụ..After the burial, in those two days they will spend there..they will gather the children of the deceased...pray for them and give them "ndụmọdụ" on how they will be living together as one family now that their mother is gone....I so much love this about my maternal home UMU-ADA.....After that two days of staying with you (the deceased children) it is a MUST that you give them (umu-ada) some gift when they are about to leave... "LISTEN" the gift depends on the financial capability of that family. Sometimes my mum comes home with a box of matches... sometimes she comes home with few pieces of washing soap and bathing soap. sometimes she comes with wrapper...the biggest gift she brought home some years ago was a wrapper (george)..the deceased first daughter who lives in the USA brought it and shared it to them herself and nobody forced her..she did it willingly and happily...So you see umu-ada will never force you to do what your pocket can't afford......Now let me ask..How much is a carton of matches or carton of detergent? If you buy it and present it to them when they are about to leave and say this is what we can afford...and we are using it to say thank you for leaving your homes for two days to stay with us.. praying and advising us...We all appreciate you our mothers...And umu-ada will say the final prayers take their carton of matches or whatever that was given to them..share it among them and leave.... The tea and bread you give them every morning for the number of days they will stay is even how much? How much is tin of milk and Milo? How much is loaves of bread? You can't feed mothers that left their homes to come stay with you guys because you lost your mother or grand mother?...Do you think those mothers are hungry women? Some of their kids are millionaires and billionaires but you come on twitter to talk shit about umuada Igbo simply because you gave them tea and bread? Do you think they don't eat what is bigger than what you people even offered them? Or is it because you see them in your house paying the last respect to their member as tradition demands? Your late mother or grand mother did you know how many people's houses she has gone to drink this tea with her fellow umu-ada before she died or is it that some of you as just plain stupid or what? YOU want them to scrape this aspect of Igbo tradition because you're daft and stupid..Some of you that were born outside igboland and knows nothing about igbo tradition should shut the fuck up on this app and stop writing nonsense..Some of you have not even crossed Niger bridge since you were born in that city but will come on twitter to write nonsense upon nonsense.... Stop coming here to castigate and demonize our culture..if you don't know shit about our culture kindly shut up.... Everytime UMU-ADA this UMU-ADA that... Ndi-ara
