Only trying to rubbish the igbos for lagos election. already started tribal war yet when they respond yoir likes will keep shouting hate.

ive lived in the east since 2005. The igbo are very nice people. Who even told you guyz they hate the Hausa and Yoruba?

Well stop doing this please. its nauseating to those who really have lived with them.

Good evening

You're from the SS, so keep your advocacy to yourself and stop being unbearably naïve....this is how you people keep misconstruing narrative to suit your uninformed opinions!! Will Igbos treat an Urhobo man, that you are the same a Northerner or Yoruba!!

Your utterances proves you're highly unexposed to the tribal realities on ground, or probably still a kid in his formative years!

Ah. You don't need to throw insults na. Im not a kid bro and im telling you reqlities in ground.

I never said there are not bad egg within them but most of them are very nice people. Most of my colleagues are igbos. Extremely accommodating.

There are tribal bigots every where even with your tribe kunmi. So please learn to respect the view of the most igbos which i know are not aware of this senseless tribal war.

For the record, ive lived in and out of the east. I have yoruba friends here too. we are all cool. We discuss politics and club together happily.

Stop hiding in a faceless forum and causing division everywhere. Take ur bigotry to your village.

Yes im urhobo. And im engaged to an igbo lady...Lovely people i must say

enemybulldozer:
Guy take your fight to oba akiolu and leave my people the Igbo alone.

Your people left themselves alone a long time ago- the day they started preaching propaganda, and superiority instead of love and unity- we are just encouraging them to continue along the same line of perdition

I abhor intolerance and tribal divisions in all its entirety, I rarely go past the first page of any tribal induced thread or even make a comment, but your indices of comparing the relative behavior of that particular ethnicity towards others was so flawed, it drew a bitter ire in me because I've lived in the east, worked in the east, schooled in the east and the conjectures you projected were so far from the realities of the majority.

Of course, there are a couple of virtuous eggs, and I'm still very much involved with them, both intimately and professionally, same for every other ethnic group too, but I would never draw a conclusion based on my own personal experience while minimizing the experiences of others, and a few I've been privileged to witness.

Have a nice Sunday bro! Your sobriquet though (Hypertension) Lol

why all disunity in the south. I believe this is spiritual.

Point of correction, the Yorubas are known propagandists and they're successful in that because they own the Nigeria media there's no doubt about it.

You don't expect my people to preach love and unity to the Yorubas, when Yorubas have long ago denied my people love and unity and you know that hate can only beget hate.

May God just forgive all of you,both Igbo and Yoruba folks ,spreading hate ,divisions and confusions all over the cyberspace just because of politics.

You live together,trade together,attend same churches together ,inter-marry,yet you do all these evil on social media.

Like I said ,may God forgive all of you,and I pray you all don't reap the rewards of the evils you are sowing.

Because you accused us- I would tell you where propaganda started herbert macualay - the wizard of krixtoston (can't remember the proper spelling) hall started it- but nnamdi azikwe was the one that took it to un-enviable heights with his telegraph newspapers in 1938- he so spread the propaganda that even our kings college students from enugu that came for a football match against cms or is it st gregory's college were also part of his scheme - he also lead to the dissolution of NYM (national youth movement) - which also lead to pitting yoruba's against each other, the ijebu's against the lagosians, and south west against north and this is the reason the yoruba's were and have always been in opposition politics, till tinubu made an alliance and moved the yoruba political structure into main stream politics with Buhari

The point is that Herbert a Yoruba man started propaganda first in the Nigerian soil. And he used it both on the British and other Nigerians.

What I want you to understand is that propaganda was introduced into the Nigerian system first by Yoruba. And we all know that people love learning what they know it will be useful to them in future.

SouthEastFacts:

We don hear that one tire am.

Few years ago, Yorubas stopped renting out one room to Ndi Igbo thinking that it will send them parking.

But today, most of the self-con and 1 bedroom flats are occupied by Ndi Igbo while the so-called hosts continue leaving in face-me-i-face-you.

Today many Yoruba landlords prefer to rent out their 1 bedroom flats to Igbos and when I inquired why, they said Igbos don't owe rent.

Apart from those staying in 1 bedroom in Lagos, many Igbo families have their own building.

An average Igbo family stays in a better house than an average yoruba in Lagos.

Yoruba APC sent thugs to go and harass and intimidate and prevent Igbos living in some parts of Lagos from exercising their constitutional right as Nigerian citizens in the last election. That was an act of raw aggression emanating from hateful hearts of those who sent them against peaceful and law abiding Igbo people living in lagos state.

Since then some mischievous Yorubas have been creating propaganda threads against law abiding Igbos as if they are the aggressors.

Before I go into my tirade on this joke that is no longer funny, I would like you to read this quote from the sage of nigerian politics and development

Awolowo once said on *page 306[i][/i]* of his autobiography said; the expression of such *consent* must be free and unfettered, and on no account must it be *stultified* or rigged the consent must never be obtained by duress,threat or intimidation by undue influence or fraud - PDP note, ethnic politicians note, gods of men note- because a recipe against all these would definitely lead to instability beyond what they meant it to be -

This is my extrapolation of my contribution from one of the threads, I had to lay my 5pence to

Why do you people, lie so much like this? You lie and twist facts just to suit your narrative- which develop did igbo's develop lagos? Why didn't they stay in their region and develop it? - why did they come to lagos? If you don't know let me tell you - prior to independence the S.W was the most developed part of nigeria both intellectually and infrastructurally- immediately awolowo became the premier of the south west in 1952, which he governed for 8yrs - the south west harnessed it's potentials and was generating £33m pounds from cocoa and palm oil and agriculture - because of the free education and other things administrative opportunities vacancies, became plenty in the S.W in the civil service administrative structures, he didn't want the whites to continue to occupy it so he made a law that, b4 they employ any white man into any post in the civil service they search through all nigerian's inrespect of where they came from, most S.W preferred the money they were making from cocoa and extension services palm oil etc, because they were rich from it - in a bid to fill these opportunities in the civil service, awolowo employed them S.E, the S.W was already paying higher salaries then to try and keep those that came in from studies abroad in the civil service instead of them going into their own cooperative agricultural business, no region in the country. Except the S.W was paying £8- £10 pounds/d and that is how they came to lagos- they didn't come on business- because the south west had already been well grounded, they came to fill the clerical assistant opportunities and were paid well, and because of the S.W detribalized nature- they didn't go to the north because they were not paid as much as the S.W, and they were not as accommodative - ahmadu bello speech in 1954 still attests to this fact, what you don't know don't narrate it, go and find the truth - the S.W invited the british to colonize nigeria, how would you then say we were not already on strong footing - we established the first university, the first set of colleges of education, teacher training colleges, over 385 schools were education was free across the south west and the total population of nigeria then was 40m - can you people even find out how much your region generated then? We bought the colonial master and we told them to leave - the north and s.e didn't want them to go- so what exactly are you people saying - make una stop disturbing the peace of our Isreal in the S.W O!!!! If you can't live in peace and respect us as hosts- you all have an origin - nobody told you to leave your places of origin - respect begets respect - we would not come and threaten you in your own house!!!

Lagos is owned by the olofins who are yoruba's that migrated from ekiti (ondo and ekiti), oyo abeokuta and Benin republic

Get off your high horse - if we are tribalistic, we wouldn't be as accommodative as to the point where, people would wake up and tell us - Lagos is no man's land - you live you work you trade and then tell us- the place where you do all these things is no man's land? Or that you would determine who becomes governor of the state where you are visitors, we are monarchial we are progressive with a tint of socialism/capitalism *the "we" factor* - and you expect us to relinquish our orientation and accept capitalism/republicanism wholeheartedly? *the "I" factor* Because that's how you peeps coin it- especially in a society where nothing is fair Haba!!! is that possible? This is the crux of the matter- the S.E is not developing because of this basic fact- billionaires everywhere but no one is actually changing the society at large - do your own road, the one leading to your house, have your own water system build a mansion but what of the immediate society

A Brief History of the University

The University of Ibadan started off as the University College, Ibadan (UCI) which was founded in 1948, occupying, at first, the old site at Eleyele. It later moved to the new site which covered over 2,550 acres of land. The site was generously leased by the chiefs and people of Ibadan for 999 years. The establishment of the University could be traced directly to the reports in 1945 of the Asquith and Elliot Commissions which were set up by the British Government in 1943. Equipment was transferred to the university from its sub-university status forerunners, the Yaba Higher College, (established in 1932 but formally opened in 1934), and the Yaba Medical School (established in 1930). There were 104 foundation students (including 49 students in teacher training and survey courses) who began their courses at Ibadan on 18 January 1948. The formal opening took place on 25 March, 1948.
In February 1948, London University allowed Ibadan its special relationship scheme. Arthur Creech Jones, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, and an influential member of Elliot Commission, cut the first sod at the permanent site of the University College on 17 November, 1948, which thereafter became the Foundation Day.
For the foundation medical students, the facilities provided in 1948 by the Native Administration Hospital at Adeoyo and the Government Hospital Jericho, for which the Faculty of Medicine was responsible, were inadequate. Consequently, medical students of the earlier years went to London University for clinical training. To provide more satisfactory clinical facilities at Ibadan, the Nigerian Government made available funds for the building of the 500-bed University Teaching Hospital which was completed in 1957. Thereafter, medical students were fully trained in Ibadan, the first batch graduating in 1960.
With the expansion of facilities at Ibadan, the number of students offered admission increased. In the 1958-59 sessions, UCI for the first time had a little over 1,000 students; in 1963-64, the figure exceeded 2,000; and topped the 3,000 mark in 1968-69.
The figure for 1972-73 was 4,110 and, for 1974-75 and 1975-76, 5,369 and 7,375 respectively. Some of these students included those residents at the Jos Campus, which began with an enrolment of 101 students in the 1971-72 sessions. In the 1973-74 session, the Jos Campus had 326 students most of whom were prepared for courses in the Faculty of Arts. In the 1975-76 sessions, the number of students at Jos increased to 550. On 25 September, 1975, however, the Government announced the creation of a University of Jos, and arrangements were made to transfer second year students in Jos to Ibadan and to hand over the campus at the end of the 1975-76 session to the new administration at Jos University. The Government also announced the setting up of a new University College at Ilorin, to be affiliated to the University of Ibadan. In 1976-77, the total number of students at the University of Ibadan was 8,586. In the 1984/85 session, the student population was 13,862.
Since the 1989/90 session, student population has increased to 14,000 in accordance with the directive of the National Universities Commission (NUC) of ten percent (10%) growth for the first generation universities in Nigeria. As at the end of the 1992/93 session, the student population was 14,632. In addition, there were over three thousand five hundred (3, 500) external degree students who receive lectures, tutorials on a part-time basis. Moreover, the University’s Institute of Education runs an Associate Certificate of Education programme for Grade Two Teachers at different centres in Nigeria.
The University of Ibadan, then University College, awarded its first postgraduate degree in 1952, when the University was under a “scheme of special relation” with the University of London. By 1962, when University College transformed into an independent University of Ibadan, 64 students were registered for graduate degrees. Since becoming an independent academic institution in 1962, the University of Ibadan has enrolled 81,768 postgraduate students and awarded 45,709 higher degrees, including 2 DSc. 4,366 PhDs, 36 MD/MS, 4,700 Mphil/Professional Master’s Degrees, 32,3254 Academic Master’s Degree, and 4,281 Postgraduate Diplomas. During the last academic year alone, 5,789 students were enrolled into a postgraduate programme. Over the years, University of Ibadan graduates have meaningfully contributed to society in many ways from establishing other institutions of higher learning in Nigeria to impacting various sectors of the global economy. Several alumni have also returned to the University of Ibadan as professors and staff.
Larger admissions over the years and limited funds for providing accommodation facilities gradually threatened the concept of a residential University at Ibadan. The Jos campus, when established, experimented with off-campus accommodation. From the 1972-73 sessions, students, at the Ibadan campus have also been allowed to live off-campus in large numbers. Married students are encouraged to live off-campus.
There are ten undergraduate Halls of Residence (Mellanby, Tedder, Kuti, Sultan Bello, Queen Elizabeth II, Alexander Brown (situated at UCH), Independence, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Idia, Obafemi Awolowo) and two postgraduate Halls of Residence, namely, Tafawa Balewa and the New Postgraduate Hall. It should be noted that Obafemi Awolowo Hall that, hitherto, provided accommodation for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of both sexes became an exclusively undergraduate Hall of Residence (for both sexes) from the 2001/2002 session.
Catering Facilities
Until 1972, each Hall of Residence had its own catering facilities, but steps were taken during that year towards providing a more centralized catering service. The Central Cafeteria, with a capacity for 1,600 students, was completed on 4 January, 1976 and catered for the majority of students. Because of the larger number of students, however, catering services continued to be provided by selected caterers in Independence, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Queen Elizabeth, Tafawa Balewa and Alexander
Brown Halls. Official catering for students ceased in 1984, in consonance with the Federal Government directive to Federal Universities to disengage from Hall catering services for students. However, in the 2001/2002 session, the University Administration decided to appoint two Catering Contractors for each Hall of Residence. Food is sold to students on the pay-as-you-eat system.
Student Unionism
From its inception, the University has encouraged Student Unionism and the Student Union has thus been an important feature of the University existence. Housed in a magnificent complex known as Student Union Building, which now includes the modified Central Cafeteria as well as an Olympic-sized swimming pool, the Union has as its aims:
(a) To promote the social, cultural, intellectual and sporting activities of its members;
(b) To foster the general interests of its members;
(c) To contact, co-operate and exchange ideas with other external organizations whose aims are acceptable to the Union.

The Student Union has been an advocate of student participation in University administration, and since 1973, students have served on various University Committees, including the Consultative Committee on Community Development, Student Welfare Board, Careers Board, Library Committee, Catering Board, Sports Council, Lodgings Bureau, Intra-campus Transportation Committee (ICTC), and the Student Disciplinary Committee. In addition, all academic departments have staff/student liaison committees.
On-Campus Accommodation
The University provides accommodation for its senior, intermediate and junior staff. The Abadina complex caters for the residential needs of Junior Staff. As at May 1977, there were 516 housing units on campus. There are also the University Hotels Ltd, the Pro-Chancellor’s Lodge and other buildings. The University no longer provides off-campus accommodation for Senior Staff because the accommodation and maintenance problems of the University increased as the number of junior and senior staff rose.
Staff Population
In 1959, there were about 530 junior staff. In February 1973, the number had risen to 4,197. In 1958, there were only 44 Nigerian Senior Staff (Academic, Library, Administrative and Technical) officers, as against
136 expatriates. But by 1 February 1973, the University had 117 Senior Administrative and Technical Officers, Technicians/Technologists as well as school teachers in the International School (Secondary) and Staff School (Kindergarten and Primary). These did not include a total of 566 academic staff of which 416 were Nigerians and 150 expatriates.
By March 1, 1997, the University had a total of 793 academic staff (including the Library and the Ibadan University Press) as against an establishment of 1,066 for the 1976/77 session. At the same time, the University had a total of 819 administrative professional and technical staff although the established figure for the 1976-77 session was 1,079. In the 1984/85 session, the total number of Junior staff on the pay roll of the University was 4,006, while that of Senior Staff was 2,348. Of these, 95 percent were Nigerians. At present staff population is 2,604 academic staff, 953 Senior staff 1651and Junior Staff 1080. The University of Ibadan Women Society runs the Crèche Nursery School while the Baptist Service Centre operates a primary school.
Funds, Funding and Sources
The University is a cosmopolitan tertiary institution with most of the staff being Nigerians. Staff salaries and other recurrent expenditure, besides capital works, made the University College (later University of Ibadan) an expensive establishment to run. While the British Government, the Cocoa Marketing Board, the Nuffield Foundation, the United African Company, and other interested bodies inside and outside Nigeria made generous contributions towards the funding of capital projects, the brunt of the recurrent expenditure fell on the Nigerian government whose subvention rose from N200, 000 British pounds in 1949-1950 to N7, 464,000 in 1971/72. The Federal Government’s recurrent grant for 1972/73 was N=10, 226.00 and for 1973/74, N11, 036,000. The figure for the 1975/76 session (Ibadan and Jos Campuses) was N=23, 171,000, and for the 1976/77 session, N=29, 826.000; for 1983/84 N=41, 221,000. See the table at the next page for subsequent funding:

(funny though) since you have things you insult Igbos with. that aside. it was not called THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE IBADAN,i doubt if you actually read the link you sent to me. which was wikipedia. it was called IBADAN COLLEGE. and i repeat again in as much as the word "COLLEGE" could be used interchangeably with the word "UNIVERSITY" they are not the same. please check that up. even in the history of the university of ibadan it was stated there that it was once a college in 1948 when it started and became a FULL FLEDGED UNIVERSITY by 1962. i dont know whats so hard to comprehend in this. like i said if you say the first TERTIARY INSTITUTION then i would hold my peace. but why do you argue based on an issue that was clearly written as their history? haba

I wish your position was the true position of S.E on these issues, as you are just one person with a different leaning - the genesis of the whole debacle has been the use of the term no man's land, amongst the educated S.W class - 2ndly on a personal note, I would have loved to know your political leaning are you, progressive (a little to the right) or republican (a little to the left) or which way is it? Or liberal minded in the nigeria context? Because an average S.W is progressive AG - UPN - SDP - AD - ACN - APC - it's our way of life, we can't take any other party that brings something else to the table. 3rdly, to the issue of the military - if we should take all the terms they use to describe us hook line, and sinker - we would be calling ourselves bloody civilians and so many other names, they use to call us- so if we can't take those names the ascribe to us - I don't think it is fair to take the notion that lagos is no man's land- it should be castigated in the strobgest of terms - if we are to continue to be accommodative of one another
