He is a billionaire, the greatest footballer of all time, and this is his wedding: just him, his wife, and his kids.
Don't allow any woman to pressure you into having a big and fancy wedding.
You are welcome. ๐ค
The World of the Ogbanje (1986),
By
Prof. Chinwe Achebe. (Wife of Prof. Chinua Achebe)
Achebe's work invites us to encounter Ogbanje not simply as superstition, but as a coherent world of knowledge through which Igbo communities interpreted birth, death, recurrence, personhood, and the unsettling boundaries between the visible and invisible.
The book reminds us that to understand a people's worldview, we must first resist the temptation to measure their realities solely by the vocabulary of another world.

Some Igbo people donโt know the difference between Omenala, แปdแปbendแป, แปdแปnala, and Ewumewu.
Although they are closely related, they are not the same.
1. Omenala (Culture)
The general way of life of a people, their language, food, clothing, beliefs, customs, and social practices.
2. แปdแปbendแป (Custom)
The distinctive customs and practices that give a community or group its unique identity.
3. แปdแปnala / แปdแปnanแป (Tradition)
Ancestral beliefs, values, and practices passed down through generations.
4. Ewumewu (Institutions)
The social institutions and communal practices that organise and strengthen society, including age grades, festivals, assemblies, and ceremonies.
Together, they reflect the depth, richness, and organisation of Igbo society.
Understanding them is an important step towards preserving our heritage.
For the first time, I looked around and said: โEven HE Peter Obi canโt fix this. He can only try.โ ๐ฅบ๐
What I saw was beyond politics it was evidence of failing institutions and non-functional policies.
There is a public health crisis unfolding, and I am honestly traumatized.
These are the issues we should be discussing not the colour of Peter Obiโs shoes โฆ
The government MUST step up and save its people๐ญ๐ณ๐ฌ
Before you spend your next โฆ10, ask yourself: why is Alvan Ikoku on the note?
Most people recognise his face. Far fewer know the story behind it.
This is the story of the Igbo educator whose work helped shape education in Eastern Nigeria. ๐งต๐๐ฝ
When he left high school in 1962, John Cardinal Onaiyekan was 18.
His grades were so outstanding, the Premier of the Northern Region, Sir Ahmadu Bello, asked to see him & offered him a free cheque to the best anywhere in the world.
The man said #ThankYou & headed off to priestly formation.
64 yrs later, an #OrganizedCrime ring - led by a man with no verifiable record of having gone to school - wants to do a #RoyalRumble with a man who gave up on worldly things as a teenager.
There can be only one winner & it will not be the criminals!
โI was at Aburi. Gowon and Ojukwu signed the Aburi Accord in Ghana. But when they returned to Nigeria, Gowon went back on the agreement.โ

The first building is Mr. Peter Obi's country home in Agulu.
Note: Before joining politics, Peter Obi was already a billionaire in naira. He served Anambra State for 8 years and is currently contesting for President.
The second house belongs to the Senator representing Ebonyi Central, Engr. Ken Eze.
Note: Ken Eze was not a billionaire before joining politics. He started his career as an ordinary coordinator, rose to local government chairman, and then became senator.
This is the character some people are projecting โ someone who prioritizes his comfort over good governance, someone whose zone has so many dilapidated schools.
This is how APC leaders are.
Mrs. Nnenna Esther Adeleke (nรฉe Akpara) was the mother of two state governors, a billionaire entrepreneur among others. They are:
1. Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke โ the first elected civilian Governor of Osun State.
2. Ademola Adeleke โ the current Governor of Osun State.
3. Adedeji Adeleke โ billionaire businessman and founder of Adeleke University, as well as the father of musician Davido.
She hails from Akwete, Ukwa East Local Government Area of Abia State.
She was married to Senator Ayoola Adeleke, a prominent politician from Ede, Osun State.
Their marriage was often cited as an example of inter-ethnic harmony.
She stands as the only Nigerian mother to have two sons as state governors.
