Why the Ibos risk loosing their ground


Why Ibos Should Start Speaking Their Mother Tongue Just Like Other Ethnic Groups In Nigeria


The Ibos are one of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria, where by making their language one of the majors out of the three major languages in Nigeria

Three major languages in Nigeria are;
·        Igbo
·        Hausa
·        Yoruba

You might already be wondering why I use Ibo and Igbo.
Igbo is the language the Ibos speak, it is their mother tongue or dialect. It is one of the major three in Nigeria, While Ibo is used to refer to an indigene or someone who is either from the Igbo speaking society by birth or otherwise.

The Ibos has made it a thing of habit not to promote their culture by speaking their language (Igbo), despite the sweet tones and nature of the language. It has become a thing of habit for the Ibos, that whenever the meet their fellow tribesman, they prefer speaking English to their own tongue.

But in the case of the other ethnic groups in the country, like Hausa, Yoruba, Tiv, Idoma etc. it’s the other way round, they more frequently use their parlance. This has so unfortunately made it more difficult for the young ones (children) to speak their dialect (Igbo) when they come of age.

You definitely will agree that up to half of a hundred families use English as their default language of communication, be it Vernacular or Slang.

This has unfortunately, also caused the drop in cultural practice of the Ibos, who does not reside in their hometown. Comparing the other tribes, A Hausa man can and will never forget his culture and the way of live of his people, why? This is because right from childhood, the parents of the child forces the child to attend extra moral lessons on their culture or lifestyle; they speak their dialect more often than any other tribesmen in the country.

It is very difficult to see a Hausa man together with his fellow tribesman and the dump their tongue to use English., neither will you see a Yoruba man with his brother, speaking English instead of their mother tongue.

The Tivs are also a good example, they never use English within themselves, they love using their language as means of communication, to the extend they even tend to use it with strangers able to understand the tongue or not.



If the Ibos do not want their culture to fade away, they should start speaking their mother tongue and be proud of their culture.

is Nigeria turning into a waste bin?


Nigeria has turned a waste bin for manufacturers


Electric Gadgets

It has become a norm in Nigeria to either use fake products or forget about using the products at all. Nigeria is a country that is highly populated and also has youths that are very desperate to be successful. Nigeria is also a country where everything sales, I repeat EVERYTHING SALES. No matter the services you are offering, once you want to sell it, Nigerians will buy.

For this reason, many individual and collective bodies ( service producers) tend to see Nigeria as a place to reap fortune, they see Nigeria as the just what they need to make their money. They now see it that all they need to make their wealth is just a service/product to render to the helpless citizens of Nigeria.

Now, this is where the main thing comes to light, when they are making their products, what they have in mind is not how well it will serve their clients, not the disadvantages and harms it tends to cause, nor the damage it potentially carries, but how much profit they will make, how fast they will sell and how much less they will invest.

They totally forget that it should be the other way round. Now, averting this sort of manufacturers is not viable, then how can we stop being victims of fake products? These are the ways;

  1. The Products Been hemmed in by the responsible governmental bodies
  2. Avoiding the products when seen
Talking about the products been hemmed in by the responsible bodies, we understand that Nigeria has 


SON (Standard Organisation of Nigeria) responsible for the products that operate in Nigeria, and if the product pass their tests, they give it the NIS Mark (Nigeria Mark of Quality) as it is written in some products labels. But I have to say that their minimum requirements are very low, giving the quality of products that operates in Nigeria. Talking of electrical gadgets, this is one of the major areas to be giving high attention, giving that 80% houses burnt, were caused by electricity. Nigeria has many cables that cannot even withstand a high current flow through them, when this current happens to flow; it gets burnt, whereby leading loss of properties and even life. Nigeria must stop this.

Effect of fake products
Burnt Properties


Then Nigeria has also NAFDAC (National Agency For Food and Drug Administration and Control) they carry the responsibility of ensuring hygienic, safe food and drugs. But have they really been worth applauding for? There are many beverages and snacks; that when a look is given to their table of content and nutritional information table, they contents you see there will stun you. But nevertheless, they still sell. There are many sachet water and even bottled water that when you can see the chemicals used for purification and preservation you will not believe that they are still allowed to sell. Nigeria must stop this.

Fake Drugs
Confiscated Drugs
On the citizens avoiding the products when seen, is our own responsibility, that when the bodies charged with the responsibilities cannot carry them out, should exempt ourselves from patronizing this producers, it will serve us much good. 

Fake products has indeed brought about property loss, life loss, ill-health and above all, making our beloved country Nigeria a country without standards. I hereby charge us to cause a positive change.

How to update your Whatsapp without data

How to Update Your Whatsapp When Offline


Whatsapp is a social mobile application which is available for users on all platforms like JAVA, Symbian, Android and also iOS. Liked because of its fast messaging service at cheaper costs and rate, Whatsapp is used by over 1 billion people and still counting.

Due to the fact that the messaging app is free, it has become the most preferred messaging application. Supporting features like multimedia (video, picture and audio files sharing), and also with group chat feature that enables over 100 users chat together and swiftly;  Whatsapp has no ads!


Though Whatsapp is free, you still have to download it with data so as to partake in the fun. And it should be noted that Whatsapp updates their app every now and then, updates are made available within 3-6 months after the initial download, and you will receive an app pop-up demanding you update before your current version becomes void(expires).

So now, what happens when you get stranded (data-wise, no Wi-Fi) and you really need to use this app ASAP; either for a business or casual chat.

The best thing to do is actually look for a friend whose own Whatsapp is still valid (not yet expired), then send his/her own Whatsapp application to your own device, then install or update rather; then you can access your sweet app once again.

NB: Do not uninstall the expired application, install the version you collected from a friend with the older version still in your phone (by doing so you are updating the Whatsapp application offline.

Should you uninstall the expired version before installing the valid one you sent from a friend, you might risk losing all your chat history (except if backed up) and also all your groups.
