solomon111: That is a very daft statement.
You definitely cannot compare the two talkatives,with Akpabio and chime.

Bros abeg make we hear word jere. What has Chime done in Enugu ? If you even talk of Akpabio I would understand and even at that. He collects the highest revenue in Nigeria so anything short of what he delivering is utterly useless.

Chime has nothing to offer even Enugu. Fact !!! How many people travel back to Enugu to start up a life compare to Lagos, Edo, Oyo, Kano, Imo, Rivers and Abuja ? Even Kaduna and Kwara get am. Proof me wrong

bashr8: alhaj harem i told you these people are all the same

LOL I have told you ACN and PDP are the same only that ACN has Oshomoile and fashola of which are the best two governors in Nigeria.

^^^^^^ No wahala

Also, my mistake Akamu is actually an Igbo word for Ogi. Just spoke to my Igbo friends in an argument

@ Cowgirl, I blame you cuz now you are aware of it. You should have started looking for how to learn it.

No matter where you live in the world, there would always be someone that speaks your language from Nigeria.

The last time I checked, chlorine is one of the cheapest chemicals. It is so cheap it is used in high quantity in bleach and co.

Bella please explain to us what chemical and how has it increased the purity from the previous chemical.

ermmmmm Bella, [size=14pt]that is wrong. Stop telling people about alpha and beta chemicals for pure water.

I am sure that Beta chemical has a name.

As far as I am concern, the only purifying agent in Nigeria pure water is chlorine because it coagulate small particles, kill bacteria through osmosic pressure and also give the water some ions needed as a counter ion.

Fu,cking hell, the sort of lies this website recieves from proGEJ is so stu.pid and annoying.

Oya tell the this "Beta chemical"

maybe you are talking of flocculation, and there is no Beta chemical involved.[/size]

@ 9ja voice, hmmmmmmm

sayusuf: all your evil plan against hausa/fulani will not yield any fruit..your alliance will fail mysterably.
Do you know why you will not overcome the strong forces of hausa/fulani?.do you know why you can not even confront us?..just one reason
COWARDNESS.Imagin yoruba man seing death,chai!..see run.bayarabe yaga mutuwa.igbo,they worship money, middle belt, slaves.
Average hausa/fulani man is never afraid of death..we embrace it, kiss it, Bleep it....the history of d world is written with blood, let it flows freely....see u at d battle field

It is funny how you just open your mouth and talk trash from it. Better be careful da wasa ake fadawa wawa magana

afam4eva: Agidi is what you Yorubas call eko.

Oh I see,

thanks

Awolowo is dead, time to move on.

Lets hope we as a people don't go through any form of war again.

My Igbo brothers, it is time to move on. I know it is hard but please, lets move on.

smh, how can Imo suffer the highest causality. all this silly propaganda self

rubbish

ypzilanti: In summary, Pro GEJ argue that we shall soon begin reaping the benefits of GEJs government.

In summary, Anti GEJ say that from GEJs antecedents and projecting from what he has done or not done presently, he is going down as one of the worst prseidents ever.

All agree that presently things are not ok (putting it mildly).

Can we all then sign up a truce that if a year from now the following is not achieved the pro GEJs will move to the other side of the aisle?

1. Oil subsidy and pension scam people prosecuted successfully.

2. Good federal roads all over the country.

3. At least 80 percent improvement in power.

4. At least 10 percent improvement in employment.

5. At least 50 percent improvement in security.

6. At least 70 percent budget implementation.

7. Reversal of recurrent to capital expenditure ratio of 70 to 30 percent.

Where he achieves this basic level, can anti, GEJ move to the other side of the aisle?

I am the first to sign this truce. Here's hoping for a quiet nairaland by this time next year.

Thank you.

because of that singlular stu.pidity, pure water is 10 naira now in Lagos and 20 naira in other places stu.pid people

kunlekunle: who now in SW is an omoluabi

LOL

smh for you.

pslm23: My late grandmother(from Rivers State) told me this:

Coconut rice was staple with the igbos during the war. They had lots of coconut trees and rice and salt and pepper. so one day, someone decided to cook rice differently for the starving children and people and coconut was used. Now, if coconut rice was cooked way before the Biafran war in some other country, I do not know but all my life I've come to believe that it started with the igbo people during the war.

Moi moi: It might be a Yoruba dish and again it might not be. All my life, all the moi moi that i've eaten came from the Igbo's. I've eaten something prepared by the Yoruba's that looks like moi moi but isn't moi moi. This one is softer and more peppery and sticks to the teeth.

Is Agidi an igbo food?
Ofe N'sala is igbo
N'ri oka is igbo

Ofe Onugbu is igbo
Ngwogwo is igbo (but i won't be caught dead eating it... isn't this intestines of a goat or cow?)

I think you are wrong ma.

Coconut rice originated from thailand. http://www.shesimmers.com/2009/03/mango-and-sweet-coconut-sticky-rice.html

Moi-moi orginated from Oyo aka Yoruba

in fact the Moi moi was made with eko.

here is an account of brazilians etc in the 1800 giving account on how they made moi-moi of which no other country had no influence except the yorubas

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JTBSpuCkl9AC&pg=PA197&dq=moi+moi+food+origin&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nhz3T73kD6eH0AXjhpmlBw&ved=0CDYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=moi%20moi%20food%20origin&f=false


is Agadi (uncooked corn starch) not the same as Akamu/Ogi of which are yoruba words ? Correct me if I am wrong

This dangote vs Ibeto issue is NOT a hausa vs Igbo thing. Chai !!!! see naija mentality, very backwards.

I understand what most posters here are complaining here about. Monopoly is not good for any economy. Not withstanding you cannot blame Dangote for have a monopoly in some certain sectors in our economy.

Lets encourage dangote and ibeto, Nigeria and indeed africa market is large enough for 2 monopolist if they so wish.

Abeg make I think of how i go be monopolist myself

[quote author=emöfine2]

The “same” or similar?
Portuguese is similar to Spanish why don’t we thus force a sole identity on them? Ah of course because they are pretty much nation states and Nigeria is a heterogeneous country thus the desire to summarize groups most especially minorities.
As regards to your question we all (as well as some other groups) are classified as "Edoid" hence the similarities in language and culture just like the Portuguese and Spanish for example. We are an “Edo” group collectively and some of our histories tie but we still hope to maintain our individuality not out of spite or malice for each other but for our own convenience and wish. I think outsiders should respect the identity we choose to wear not what they think or hope we should be. Notwithstanding we are still siblings but not siamese and we acknowledge each other.[/quote]My sister, this mentality is wrong.

Would every single tiny local government be called a tribe one day ?

^^^^^^^^^^

LOL Fanta and cake igbo I though it was the whites

BTW, How can I forget the famous Ofada rice and Ayamase (green sauce) - Yoruba (Egba particularly)

Tapioca - Yoruba ( particularly Brazilian)

Iyan (pounded yam) - Yoruba, Edo and Igbo

dundun (fried yam chips) - Yoruba

Dodo - Yoruba

that is all for now, Oya Bashr come challenge

Obiagu1: It's better to prevent Walmart and co from coming to Nigeria; no one knows the dynamics. I've warned about this before. It's not only Igbos that will be affected but the middle class. I hope our government is getting ready for welfare system too for those that will completely lose hope in getting out of poverty.

gbammm gbammm gbammm you are very much on point !!!

There is no point talking here when we can prevent it. It is not only Igbo business that would be affected but all small and medium scale business.

Our government have no foresight.

ChinenyeN: Are you not Delta state?

LOL

NRI PRIEST: Wonders shall never end! Who are these Onelga ppl ? Firstly,I will not set foot there talk more of buying lands there....Kogi and Benue ppl are giving lands free to Igbos to invest and we are hear discussing a group with no presence! If they like let them sell lands to yorubas and boko harem.......I dont care! If they like let them claim Uhrobo I dont care but one thing I am sure of is that they will need our help 00pm oneday just like the Ijaws....These ppl are probably not up to 100,000 in population and we are here discusing a non factor..Op is probably from there and comehere to seek cheap populaity amongst the IGBOS!

Op,tell ur ppl I said they should shove all ther lands into their weak a..ss! Everybody wan use Igbos shine!

I love the first part but wetin yorubas do you ?

We sell and give lands to Igbos. Give igbos titles and positions of power and authorities in our land and yet you still think Yoruba should be discriminated against ? na wa o !!!

aminu150: another dumb idea from the useles 9ja govt. Why cant we build our own refineries or allow Nigerian business men do it? Must we wait for US for everything?. Since Nigeria is a good place for investment why cant they (US) bring some of their manufacturing companies here to contribute to economic development.

Thank you o !!!

You people want increase in price of fuel without building an indigenous refinery ?

Well, welcome to fresh air. Bunch of Idddeeiioots.

I love the Igbos/Igboid because of there drive. They do with they believe in. Love their food as well, simply amazing. friendly and kind people as well. Even those on Nairaland like Igbo2011, Agbaworo, ChenyereN, freecocoa and co

The Hausas and fulanis are very friendly people as well. Very welcoming and fun loving. Never a dull moment around them . Likes of Fulaman, namfav and co have done well for the fulanis on nairaland.

The Kanuris are a special group, Just love their culture.

The Urhobos, Edos etc are just a funny set of people. They crack jokes wey fit make ur belle open. Friendly and open minded.

The Ijaws I must say are the most open minded people I have met real life. Fun loving and funny as well. likes of Ibime and co on Nairaland have painted a good picture of Ijaws.

If I was not Yoruba I would defiantly be either Ijaw or Fulani

samkoro: Wether they complain or not,just watch out.Do not talk much.Religion and ethnicity is a strong factor especialy the Bokoharam factor.I voted Action congress but I will not this time.If Action congress is wise they should avoid Bokoharam directly or indirectly,but its unfortunate that they have given PDP a good mouth for propaganda

My brother, the closest thing to boko haram now is PDP. I am not wise but I know that PDP and boko haram connection is glaring.

How have they given PDP a good mouth for propaganda ?

Gbawe: Has anyone in the SW complained to you? You won't find many in the SW who care about the religious practices of leaders. Rather, it is the performance of leaders that matter. You cannot invoke any fear of "Islamization" amongst a people secure in themselves and coexisting in tolerance.

Thank you my brother !!!

Most of these people need to know what they call religious tolerance.

Dr Raymond: Buhari/el-rufa/CPC are frontliners in tribalism, religious bigotry and a secret die-hard supporters and financiers of boko haram. ACN is gradually islamizing the southwest....check out all ACN states, muslims have dominated near all. From party executives to the state executives, senators, rep. members, assembly members, local govt chairmen to mention few. So ACN/CPC alliance is a calculated attempt to islamize nigeria. As for el rufai, he is a disgrace. Was he not part of the PDP govt? Was he not guning for presidency under PDP. He is an opportunist and a lousy traitor. let see how the merger will go and comr to think of it they are even planning a muslim/muslim ticket......jokers

I can't believe this. LOL

You people are scared of Islamization of the SW but the SWerners are NOT COMPLAINING. !!!

Nigerians and there funny mentality.

kettykin: The Niger Deltans and South East should pull Human Capital and Financial resources to build a world Class University some where around PH for easy accessibility or around Calabar for calmness and less distracted learning, this University will easily beat the South West University and make double sure that the Brain Box of Nigeria and Africa remains in the EAST for the next 1000 years just like Americans are struggling to prevent the brain box of the world of Leaving America for China or japan.

The East is Providing the Brain Box today because of the Proactive measures they took in the 60s and 70s after the civil war when communities labored to sponsor people overseas to read .

what !!!!

It is not a competition ! At the end of the day it is for all Nigerians to be proud of.

Andre Uweh: If this is a reality, then it should be sited in Ibadan. Ibadan is the the heart of Yorubaland and it will be near to every south westerner.
About MKO, MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY that UNILAG was named after him.
So restore the name UNILAG and let the new uni be called MKO Abiola university, Ibadan.

I agree with you but there is no point now, Unilag is gone just like thousands of FG institute. We in the west and indeed the whole of Nigeria cannot be waiting for the FG. Never !!!

But you have a point

Andre Uweh: May be this uni should be called M. K. Abiola university.
Where is the uni going to be located?.

No, already Unilag is renamed, we are not goin to rename everything in SW after MKO after all MKO was a nationalist so why make it regional ?

It should be located in Lagos, In fact I would prefer if it is located in Lekki or Ajah for the Nigerian elites.

lol @ pdp propaganda

no be una be "I vote GEJ and not PDP"

afam4eva: O boy, this guy is going places oo just like P Square. The good thing is that his kind of music can make it in America. He just needs to reduce his use of Yoruba.

Can you imagine ?

When spanish and americans come together, they add some Spanish words to it, why can't Nigerians do the same ?

Inferiority complex is a horrible disease my brother

[quote author=Atheist:-D]No engineering?? They should invest in engineering courses.[/quote]It is just starting. They are still building it and adding more world class equipment (I think if not it is a waste of money)

[quote author=One_Naira]^^^Dude take the hint when someone skips through your post and ignores your post for a very long time. Take the hint[/quote]LOL

[quote author=One_Naira]honestly when I read stuff on this website, I wonder what reality this people live in. This is why I barely listen to sh1t on this website anymore. If I didnot live , grew up and schooled in River state, I probably would believe some of the gibberish I read on this site about that state. hmm I wonder why my family have a home in PH and on top of that we have two stores in Rivers and we own five lands unused in River state if they don't sell lands to Igbo.

I swear you people get pathetic and more pathetic as day goes by on this site and I wonder why any Igbo on this website pay mind to your 1diotic bs.[/quote]Cool down na. When Yorubas and others complain, you laugh right !!!

Now na your turn, you come dey vex . Take it easy brother
