shut up, you said dat a yoruba man was once W.H.O Chairman.. I debunked it and u want to divert the propaganda.

I hope this topic is not becos of the 3 Igbo men appointed officials in America recently.

I will tell you right now: this topic is childish. Igbo is Igbo. Yoruba is Yoruba. We don't have much in common. So no need for the competition. There's no trophy to be won here.

We Igbos celebrate ourselves. Some call it chest beating (whatever suits them). Our western neighbours should do same - if they like. No need for this.

pls forgive him... were not that stup!d in the SS.

Ajayi Crowther really tried for the Igbos. Would a bushman without a language primer have assumed such academic positions?

kingdompropty:
I have followed the politics thread of NL for sometime now and ofcourse no boring moments, trust me I put up some of their recent achievements. I leave you to add yours and judge which is cat and which is rat.

1. A Yoruba woman made deputy sheriff in a US city and three Ibo made Judge, Prosecutor and Deputy Mayor in New Jersey.

2. Yoruba language introduced as a pre requisite for crime and law enforcement, 3 Ibos made assembly members in Uk.

Add yours.

When an Igbo man cannot belch after his morning meal, it is the fault of the Yoruba man.

Yoruba sons and daughters on this forum. I urge you not to pay attention to the igbos on this forum. They are suffering from ADHD. The only time you reply them is when you slap them with facts. They are habitual noise makers and notice me people.
I challenge any igbo son or daughter to come up with your kinsmen achievement, and I will mention over 10 yoruba achievements with facts

It is better to address the Igbo challenge with 4 times more venom than they spew.

I only whipped the idiot trolling me just with a few lines, and he started speaking tribal gibberish and wailing out loud to his tribes men living in the same yard with him. Now imagine if I had brought out my full arsenal, he would have called the ICC for succour.

Days of yoruba propaganda are over. YOU MUST CITE YOUR SOURCES...

Here is my source that Igbo taught yorubas the little they know...this a factual information. All these years we have been bamboozled by yoruba media that Yoruba are the most educated....lies from the pit of hell. Today, we will expose you all naked under the sun. Facts below

We must give praise to whom it's due to...the Igbos. We have been lied about their achievements for decades. Not anymore...facts below. Even yorubas after reading this below, had to apologize to the Igbos that they didn't know all these...see below.

Are you asking again?

The most revered Igbo scholar, Achebe had already admitted that long ago.

Their new love FFK had also schooled them on some manners a short time ago. Instead of facing the main message about their lack of a cultural or academic history, they all rallied against him over the 3 Igbo flings he had in the past because one of them became their de facto queen.

When the dust finally settled with all sorts of ultimatums gone by without FFK retracting his statement about the flings, they conceded and gifted him with another Igbo concubine.

Udmaster:
the thrashy talk of an idiot who has been flogged in an argument.

You want me to rejoice with you over achievements made by Igbo women in the 21st century?

Don't you know that Yoruba women had long achieved greater firsts in the 1st half of the 20th century, and more in the 2nd half of that century?

Well if Igbo men could play catchup, why should we expect a better performance from the females.

You are the catchup tribe. It is your glory so just accept it and go to bed. Try not to wake-up in the morning before a Yoruba man ooo, because there's no recognition for that.

mallamseifaldin:
People like the OP is the reason why Donald Trump is getting so hard on Nigerians. The fact still remain that both the Yoruba and Igbo man appointed in US are from a country that import everything including toothpick. Just recently Nigeria Army received dozens of wasted armoured tanks from the US army, I was so ashamed of my country. Do they think Nigeria is a dump site for scraps?.
Where are the so called engineers? You graduate from school and have nothing to show for it. I laugh when I see some engineering student boost about their course.
Shame to all engineers reading this post, you all have nothing to offer to Nigeria.

**NB** All Nigeria engineers should stop visiting NAIRALAND. They can't think of anything positive after studying MACHINES, FLUID MECHANICS etc.

Bro, I feel your pain. It ain't our fault. We learned under very harsh conditions; no equipments to work with during our final year projects. We were limited by so many factors. Laboratories weren't equipped with tools talk more of state of the art equipments. We were inundated with bunch of theoretical technical jargons without practical applications. Our lecturers don't know how to communicate information and so on and so forth. Tell me, why employers won't call us half-baked graduates. It's a pity honestly. Some of these tourch-lights, lamps , wrist-watches we import are secondary school students projects, yet we import them into Nigeria with reckless abandon. I agree with you - we have failed! Nigerians are very intelligent and brilliant no doubt.

You must read the link I gave you...this is not time for lies and propaganda. I DEAL WITH FACTS...READ THE LINK BELOW.

Just as they handed the military to Aguiyi Ironsi. THESE ARE FACTS...READ BELOW.
