People respected and admired him until he wrote that tribal book There Was a Country.

If Nigerians know anything, we know how to spot a common tribalist. That book ruined his reputation here in Naija.

HMM

shymexx:

I was objective on the thread. So why use my handle for your idiotic statement?

Get a life, woman!!

"If you don't like a story, write your own" - Chinua Achebe.

Leave this people alone, with their beer parlor talk. They are doing exactly what WS is critical about.

How many Poetry has Chinua done?
How many play has Chinua written?

Is literature limited to Novels and Books?

What WS is saying thet literature had a lot of genre , play write, Poet, e.t.c

So you can't call CB father of African literature.

Shipyard
Second Niger Bridge
Free trade Zone.

We are soon going to here more like.

Una still dey here.

I better pass my neighbor.

The Oil produced from Ondo alone double every Oil production from the SE.

Biafra diplomat:

I beg your pardon, SW starts and ends with LAGOS! remove Lagos and the SW is dead, economically. Ogun has industries simply because Lagos is congested and industrialists are moving there because of its proximity to Lagos, Agbara and Ota leads credence to this fact.I bet you there are far more industries in Aba than there are in Ibadan or any SW town aside Lagos region(inclusive of Agbara and Ota), I am conversant with the SW cos I have lived there.

LOL, have you Gone to Ogijo, Ibeshe, Mowe, Papalantoro e.t.c these are highly industrialized towns in Ogun.

bigfrancis21:

Really? However, given the high level of commerce and education going on in the east I guess the volume of air traffic to the east will be higher than that of the west.
#JUSTFOLLOWINGLOGIC

Changing gears again.

What education, when most of the schools and Universities are in the SW.

bigfrancis21:

Who established the factories? Aren't they the foreigners (non-nigerians and nigerians alike especially Igbo) in your land who did so? You're so quick to shout factory as if they are the hard work of your people.

So agree the factories exist.

Why don't you read the initial post and tell us if SAB MILLER and Shoprite are owned by Igbos.

Noise makers.

bigfrancis21:

@Bolded: This is hilarious! Oyo state more industrialized than Lagos state? Wonderful!

Yes, Anambra state has no functional airport yet neighbouring Igbo-speaking towns - Enugu, Owerri, Port-harcourt and Asaba all have fully functioning airports. Plans are being made by the Enugu state government to upgrade the airport from national status to international status. Akwa-Ibom and Calabar both have national airports too!

Now educate me, apart from Lagos, which other south-west state has a functional airport?

Anambra has two non-functional airstrips at Uli and Uga that were destroyed during the Biafran war. How about that?

Are read with 3D glass.
I said Ogun is more industrial than Lagos and that is a fact.

Concerning Airports OYO, Ondo and kwara has functional Airports.
Osun will join the list next year.

Relax.

asorocker:


I have recently found out that the south west has no real economy, the economy is either house renting and land sales (Omonile), Taxi driving , tailoring , area boy , Bus driving /conducting , some little cocoa and marijuana farming, fronting for Northern business men( Adenuga), Cheating the Government to get rich (Jimoh Ibrahim,Otedola,MKO Abiola), out right embezzlement of Govenrment money (Fashola, Tinubu,OBJ,Awolowo,Bankole). Besides these there is no real business in yoruba land .

One keeps wondering what happened to the Multibillion Naira companies that were indigenised by Awolowo which did not face any local or foreign competition and which were bought over by Yorubas mainly and some few Northerners at the expense of other Nigerians. These companies where run down by inept and mediocre managers produced by the worst set of free and dysfunctional educational system ever in the history of mankind foisted on the South West by Awolowo.

Presently the same mediocre management killed of NITEL, NEPA, Nigerian Airways , the Refineries , Ajaokuta Steel and Making NNPC the worst Government run parastatal in history.

Little wonder some people are begging the North not to secede and are doing everything to form alliance with the same people who killed their leaders so that they can have access to the same national cake

Because you lived your life in Lagos selling spare-parts.
Your Igbo brothers are working in factories in Ogun,Osun and Ondo.
You are here making noise.

macjive01:

Seriously, do you realize 60% of Imports into the country ends up in the eastern region,
oil tools in Portharcourt
consumables at Onitsha and Aba

if there is DEEP water port at Akwa ibom or Portharcourt, obviously these importer would would operations to the closer port to the Market at Onitsha and Aba. no be so?

that would mean, Lagos losing 60% of her income from Port.
and as well, once the trade moves to the new port in the East, so will trader, clearing and forward merchants, customs, etc , which would translate to lagos losing office and residential occupants, gradually other business would follow suit and Lagos will become a ghost town. lol

You people are delusional boasters.

You Almighty Anambra don't even have an Airport.
Do you know that Ogun is more industrialized than Lagos. Oyo has one of the largest Agricultural commodities market in Nigeria.

Yet you claim you Lagos is the only developed place in the SW.

And Lagos will collapse if you finish your canoe port.

macjive01:


A Deep seaport at ibaka will render Lagos and the southwest to paupers

Haha your wish.

Thesame think they said about Anambra Lakeport.

Shipyards don't come cheap.
We should focus on sustainable projects for now.
Not a shipyard that won't be completed for another 20 years.

Remember Ajaokota.

homerac7:


where did he say anything as you accused him of in the above? If you have a half working brain, you should know that excellent people are neither bound by religion or ethnicity, but it is individual achievement. what has christianity or islam got to do with success and sagacity? I guess you are from SS/SE, beause it is such mental fever of ethnic and religious narcissism that is currently ravaging people there.

NB: mind you, I am from there.

And where did I say excellent people are bound by religion.

I was questioning his comment about Islam prominent among Yoruba before Christianity.

Where did he get that from.

shymexx:

That's what most of them don't know. Islam was prominent amongst Yoruba's way before Christianity and Uthman Dan Fodio. And a lot of Yoruba Muslim scholars schooled In Timbuktu under the tutelage of Baba Ahmed, when Songhai reigned supreme in West Africa.

I have been supporting your post until you. MMade the comment above.

Are saying that Yoruba Muslims are superior to Yoruba Christians.

Go check the history of the Yorubas you will always find great Christians.

Please don't allow these peeps pollute us with their religious views.

Mr knowitall.:
Human rights organizations are not in the business of protecting governments or government organizations....if it was an attack on civilians yes they would speak up.....they dont speak up for governments because they have resources to protect them selves: police, army, navy, marines etc etc....and also...in most cases.. they would be speaking up for the same agencies they are fighting against....which could lead to corruption.....and Police killing is generally not a human rights violation....because it could be in self defence

You're right.
I have never heard of any Human Rights group fighting for government.
Simply because government has every power to herself.

People should start leaving that village now for hell will rain down.
Remember ODI and Zaki.

I thought SEUN want to ban tribalism on NL.

They have succeeded in blackmailing SEUN.

Elizabethoni:


well u guys should free this babe or guy ...me i know its possible especially if it was because she was drunk..the power of alcohol no be small tin..
i remember a day i drank with my hubby and i went off my limit that night and went to bed Unclad as usual...so in the middle of d night i found myself lying on the floor Unclad in my eight year old son's bedroom...i was so scared and ran to back to my room. i told my hubby the next day and we laughed over it but damn it was embarrassing i only prayed my son didnt see his mum Unclad on the floor cos d lights were off...like i said my hubby and i laughed over it but he asked me a question that am lucky its my son's room i found myself not in the guest room with a male adult vistor/relative/friend of his..as in what if one of his friends was sharing our flat with us and i found myself in his room and something happened.....i just thank God.
so this story may be real cos ive been almost there...but i am not sure if its ok u tell ur hubby but am so scared for u cos that his nrother would use it against u someday if he wants more

I agree with you to some extent.
I read the advice from the Link and I really pity her for that mistake.

Go to court and legalize your relationship.
Or else the dude will dump you.

Forget those marriage and trado ceremony for now

Akpa ife:
Shut ur mouth Nig must re elect GEJ or Asari will break up ds smelling country call Nig

I can tell You most big boys and businessmen in the SS/SE won't let Nigeria break up.

Na poor men with no business like dey shout BREAK UP.

Akpa ife: Nig should go n beg ds piple becos them r d source of our wealth

Beg for what, they can only destroy their region as some are doing in the North.

These Ijaws are biting more they can chew.
Are they the only Ethnic group in ND.

So if Amechi or any other SS person becomes the president the Asari and gang will pull down the country.

They will end-up destroying their Region.

supaeagles:
If she give you now, you go chop am finish with hand sef, then come lick plate and finger to round off

HABA, chop Wetin?

Na this concoction person go chop.

Na to dey poo and vomit at thesame time be that.

Austine.E:

i didnt know that some people are this awkward in this 21st century!if cut-off is based on demand and supply as you postulated,then the big question is,why are south-Easterners demanding for higher education more than your 'almighty'south-west!oh sorry i forgot that Awolowo 'the lord of the manor'is late and no more free education.its so unfortunate that your present leader Tinubu,is more interested in certificate forgery!

And how come the SW, specifically OGUN state currently host more higher Institutions(private and public) than the SE.
Why can't the SE build more higher Institutions for their so call demanding youths.


You see why I hate urban myths.

Ejiné:

Omo, you dull no be small.

Educate yourself oga, CUT-OFF is directly influenced by TOP-SCORING because it is determined by the RANGE of the scores. The cut-off increases in an area with higher success because in order to normalize and appear equal, the range increases. Were you sleeping during your SS2 Mathematics Statistics lessons?
In an area where people score between 140 and 130 on equal rates, shouldn't common sense tell you the cut-off would be somewhere around 135?

Secondly, you might want to go back and read Omo-Tier's dumb post to me. He claimed the South-East was "BACKWARD" and I simply ripped his dumb lie to pieces by showing him the SE was actually ahead of all of us in Human Development Index (which is what truly determines whether an area is progressing or not, NOT Moshood Abiola the ITT fraudster).

Thirdly, coming to the internet to brag about people of a past you were never part of, is like going to a successful man and saying "Back in nursery school, I used to be RICHER than you, but now you work in Silicon Valley and I'm a truckpusher!!"

If you fail to see the foolishness in that, then the joke is truly on you

I see you still don't know the meaning of Cut-off.
JAMB 101

Cut-OFF is based on demand and not high scouring.
Law and Medicine always get the highest CUT-OFF because the demand for the courses are higher.

Thesame for Universities, Fed cut-off are higher than state due to demand.

And how is SE better in HDI, what parameters did you use.

Bro abegi, we don't need urban myth about people buying and selling translating to better HDI.

Don't forget the tread says PIONEERS.

Ejiné: Mr. Omo Tier... I want you to read this thread. It has the Top 4 scoring states, and nowhere was your Ogun State mentioned.

http://www.nairaland.com/1278594/yobe-state-zero-cut-off

This is your final chance to free yourself from the shackles of ignorance and spine-shattering stupiidity.

The SE, as it currently stands, towers above every region in Nigeria in the areas of female literacy, youth literacy and even overall literacy. That's right - the whole package known as the SE towers above my SS. And you see, the difference between me and you is, I don't phucking lie to myself.

Ask any other honest man from the South-South (like Ibime) and they would tell you the same thing -- The South-Easterners are currently the most enlightened Nigerians. Signed, sealed and delivered.

LOL, you don't even know the difference btw Cut-off and top scoring.
Yet your SE is better than the SW.

The tread says PIONEERS check the meaning of that word and tell yourself where Nigeria pioneers came from.
Categorys:
Entertainment
Human Rights
Law
Education
Bussiness
Industry
Agriculture
Politics
Literature
Technology e.t.c

In all you will always find a man/woman from Ogun as pioneers.

One_Naira:

lmfao. say it again. leave it to an Anambra to destroy loudmouths. I take my hat of thee austin. my guy go rest, you did good. lmfao.

anyway reading this thread, i just can't stand how hypocritical some people are. If the Op was Igbo or any ethnicity in SS, the same SW would have gone bunkers on the thread. shouting and insulting the OP. in other words, they would see something wrong with it. judging from that you would think they would replicate the same when it's them doing it but in their case, they see nothing wrong. SMH.

But the tread is about peeps from Ogun state.

Why not open a about Anambra.

shugacaneman: his manhood lives._

Lol, what manhood.

Bobandgreat: Asari Dokubo is nobody's stooge. Why would he whip up sentiments with this kind of statement. Is he soliciting for Igbo vote? His brother already has it, so no need. The man is sayng what he believes in and he is not alone in that line of thought in Ijaw land.

Yes he is soliciting Igbo votes for 2015.

Thesame man said Yorubas are commiting political suicide for merger with APC.

Sincere 9gerian:
Save that silly advice for yourself. Pa Awo is not god. He was a human being like us, lived a good life and died. I decided to use his name to make a point to some people and I'm sure they got the message.

Just shut it what silly point are you making.
Abraham L is not a god but Americans respect him.

I dare you to mention any Nigerian Leader who can match AWO achievement.
So much for your tribalism.

Stick to you PDP/ACN wahala.
