obailala: yes I said amadi is a common name for ikwerre but u failed to understand the part where I also said the ppl from IMO state also bear the name, so not all amadis are ikwerre ppl. this is to put it to u that u cannot always use a name to check where a particular IGBO is from, it's just safer to ask. oga am IGBO and u are not since u have refused to tell me where u are from so don't come here with that bullsh*t. stick to ur tribe and leave others alone.

zombieHUNTER:It is a pity that the last post I responded to, has been hidden. I would have loved to re-post it, so that everyone can see how illogical you are. But I need to ask you.... please what exactly is your problem? Someone made a remark that was funny, which was not even related to 'Nigerians suffering or dying,' and I laughed. Is it a crime to laugh? How is it my fault that you lack a sense of humour, biko? Why did you have to get all edgy and disgruntled, and then turn round to bring up the issue of Nigerians suffering & dying, into a conversation that did not make reference to such a thing in the first place?

Tushkito:Huh?! Are you kidding me?... Is my English grammar that difficult for someone who writes English as good as you do to comprehend?... Sorry to say but you are clearly the one who failed to comprehend simple English sentences because you were probably in a desperate hurry to just respond with a pre-meditated attack even before spending a second to read and understand first. Firstly, I said Amadi is a very common Ikwerre name, nowhere did I directly or indirectly imply that only Ikwerres bear Amadi. So where exactly did you pick that weird conclusion from that you're so excited about? Secondly, I said Nnanna didn't sound like a common Anioma name and neither does Ochereome. Nowhere did I say or imply that it was IMPOSSIBLE for someone from Delta to bear those name; if only you bothered to digest a message before rushing to reply, you should have also noted that. Anyway, I hope you're happy now that you have finally used the pointless argument you've been dying to use all day? i.e. "I am Igbo and you are not... and a non-Igbo has no right to discuss any topic related to Igbos".... But sorry to burst your little bubble; I am from the heartland of Igboland Imo state. If only you were paying attention and not just in a hurry to reply with the above argument, then maybe you should have read where I mentioned my origins to you the very first time you asked. And yeah finally, you are wrong about an assertion you made; it is indeed possible to guess to a certain level of accuracy, the place a person is from purely by the person's name, especially if the person bears certain unique names; e.g. if a person tells me their name is Amadi, I know theres a 70% chance they are from Rivers.... Now if you can't read and comprehend this too, then I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to continue with this exchange. |

VERY HISTORIC PIECE Copied from "FRIENDS IKOYI CLUB 1938" Forum posted by Adenike Marinho, a Medical Doctor. Tunde Oduwole, I-QS. 14.06.'18. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF HATRED I had the privilege of attending some meetings of the Yoruba and Igbo Leaders. I was not a leader but a youth who knew how to wash his hands. At one of those meetings in Owerri, I think in 1989, I think, I listened to Uncle Bola Ige and other Yoruba Leaders take the likes of Mbakwe, R. B. Okafor and others to the cleaners when the Igbo said the Yoruba were betrayers, citing that Chief Obafemi Awolowo led them into secession with a promise that if the Igbo left Nigeria, the Yoruba would follow suit. They accused him of not following up on his promise. Trust Uncle Bola Ige! He pointed to Chief Mbakwe and said, "you were there in the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu as I was. Is that statement correct?".He turned to two other Igbo and two Yoruba Leaders who were at that meeting and asked the same question, saying he had transcripts of the meeting between Awolowo and Ojukwu. They kept quiet while the Yoruba Leaders affirmed that Awolowo never promised to follow the East into secession. What he said was that if the Igbo were "driven" out of Nigeria the Yoruba would take it seriously and reassess their own position. Igbo Leaders DID NOT CONTEST this version. Then Chief Bola Ige threw in the clincher! "Who are you to accuse the Yoruba of betrayal?" he roared, and continued: 1. At Independence Awolowo offered a joint government between the NCNC and AG, with Zik as Prime Minister and Awo as Finance Minister. Awo and Zik "were still negotiating" when it was announced that Zik would be President in a coalition with NPC of the North. The East then collaborated in destroying the West and sending Awolowo and his leutenants to jail! 2. What of the 1965 elections which the West and the East agreed to boycott? We met all night and reached agreement about 3am on the day of the election. In the morning, while the Yoruba boycotted the election, the Igbo went to vote 3. After the 1979 elections Yoruba (UPN) and Igbo (APP?) Leaders were still at the negotiating table for a coalition when to their surprise, an announcement was heard that the Igbo (APP) had agreed to a coalition with the North (NPN) 4. After the 1983 elections, 1979 repeated itself. Not giving up, Awolowo reached out to Azikiwe again for cooperation. Talks started and they met in Benin where Awo pleaded passionately that only a collaboration between The Igbo and the Yoruba could save Nigeria. They didn't reach agreement but promised to meet again. Before the next meeting, the Igbo had again teamed up with the North Uncle Bola paused and then continued "we can go on and on. So how dare you accuse the Yoruba of betrayal? How many Igbo have been killed in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, Oshogbo (he mentioned other Yoruba towns)? You have your businesses in the West and went to Western schools. Yet you count the Yoruba as your enemy. You get killed in Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi, Zaria etc and have your goods looted yet you consider the Hausa/ Fulani your friends. It's your choice. If you want to be slaves for ever, we can't help you" I had never been so scared in my life. I thought the roof was going to fall. There was a pin drop silence and no Igbo dared interrupt Uncle Bola Ige because he was telling the truth. The Yoruba Leaders ended the meeting at that point and left. I hope Chief C. O. Adebayo's memoirs will give more details of those exchanges. Now to make three points from all this: A. The Yoruba have been stretching their hand across the Niger for a handshake for a long time. The Igbo refused to take it for a long time until recently B. Many Igbo Leaders of the 70s, 80s and 90s deliberately perpetrated the legend of Awolowo's role betraying them into the civil war and his role in prosecuting the war, to rally the Igbo population behind themselves. The Igbo agreed on Yoruba hatred than on any other issue. So it was the fabric that held them together for a long time C. Time heals all things. Many Igbo reading this will be hearing for the first time that their leaders of old knew for a truth that Awolowo did not break his word to Ojukwu as alleged. And to think of it, EVEN IF OUR PARENTS QUARRELLED, SHOULD WE THE NEW GENERATION CONTINUE THE SAME WAY?. ITS TIME TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE THE HANDSHAKE ACROSS THE NIGER WORK FOR THE SAKE OF OUR PEOPLES AND NIGERIA |

Westbestside:Sir, you're the grammarian here because you were the one correcting someone at first; and please,do remember to google 'tense forms' to know the 12 tense forms. English grammar does not need to sound nice to your ears to make it correct and remember that those that sound nice to your ears might be incorrect. If you still don't understand the use of past perfect tense forms and present perfect tense forms, you need to go back to your secondary school English teacher and demand to be given lessons on tense forms,because the school fees you paid then has not been fully exhausted if you still don't know this SS1 SECOND TERM TOPIC. Please read up tense forms and save yourself this embarrassment you're making of yourself. 1 Like |

Re: The Hypocrisy Of Delta & Yoruba People Over The Case Of Nnanna Of Vanguard News by irrefragable: 7:30pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
Westbestside:Lol..I won't use Google. I've already taught this topic a lot to start going back for a refresher. 'I have asked' is a present perfect action I.e an action that has just taken place. For example if you just finished giving someone an ice cream, you could say "I have given him/her an ice cream'' " I had asked" is a past perfect action I.e an action that took place in the past before another action. If two actions take place in the past, the first is referred to as a past perfect action. For example, if you just finished giving someone an ice cream before someone else shows up, you say "I had given him/her an ice cream before (name) showed up" not " I have given him/her an ice cream before (name) showed up" In the case between you and DrGoodman , he had asked the question (about okun being Yoruba's)and received a reply I.e two actions had already taken place. So "I had asked" is correct in that context. I think you should tender an unreserved apology to him. I won't mind a word of gratitude, if it should be thrown in my direction for this enlightenment. 1 Like |
