papatosibe: It has always been about geography and demography. I am surprised it took you this long to realize that.

Now retreat to the vulgar sewer hole you came out of

Are you minding the iddeeiot

Chinom: I don't know why you people always make such issues an Igbo vs Yoruba issue. Maybe because both tribes are most active on NL. But are guys aware that the sea port that made Lagos what it is today are in the hands of Dangote, Isyaku Rabiu, Ibru and to a lesser extent Ibeto. The first 3 are not Igbos. The Lagos question has gone way beyond the Yorubas. The yoruba claim is nothing but Geography.

Whatever, Lagos port was built by the british isn't it ? Was it built by Igbos CAPITAL N O, NO

Ibeto got nothing to do with Lagos. Major investors in Lagos are

1. Private Banks (mostly by Hausa and Yoruba)

2. Private Oil companies ( British and others)

3. Adenuga

5. Dangote

6. Ben bruce

7. Otedola

8. Dantata

9. Jimoh

10. Tinubu

That is all !!! so stop claiming ok !!!

bashr8: my friend shut up after the north the south west is the next place where ethnic tensions occur plus warri in south south ,that alone disqualifies these places, if u want to see accomodating people go to calabar, enugu ,owerri ,akwaibom,abuja, ph nobody goes around asking you where your from in those cities

Ethnic tension would only occur with your sort of mis-yarning. ideeiot

How many times have you yorubas and Igbos fight in the SW ? Maybe that is the reason why you can be saying rubbish from your mouth.

I remember when you all were calling Sabon gari a no-mans-land, what happened ? Yes

Please don't bring that to the SW were people are living in peace

Please Bashr8, what what you are saying. The indigenes of Lagos are no fo.ols

You come from the east to find a greener pasture just like everyone else, respect yourself and you would be respected. Idddeiot

bashr8: go and tell that to the non lagos yorubas and military that called lagos no mans land

Show me a Non-Igbo that called Lagos a no-mans land ?

I am Egun-Awori myself and it is absolutely annoying and disgusting to be referring to my ascentral home as a no-mans-land. The more I read all this rubbish from you, the more I see Igbos as trouble makes. Fact !!!

[quote author=tpia@]you've been watching too much disney dear.[/quote]What disney, she is absolutely right. If you love me, you would see Lagos grow !

jason123: If they (Yorubas) have no say, then support the next gubernatorial aspirant of Igbo origin in Lagos and see if he will win! Out of EVERY ETHINC GROUP IN THE COUNTRY its only YOU GUYS that continuously tussle the onwership of Lagos, Abuja and Port-harcourt. Why?!
I have not seen any ethnic group tussle Onitsha or Enugu, so what is the obsession?!

All states had military governors until 1999, so what gives?! Btw, before that, Lagos state had Jakande, a civilian governor.

Gbammmm tell them as it is !!! Bashr8 is just an iddeiot

stillme: The secret behind the state called lagos is love.The love among the people in lagos is more than the love in other states in nigeria.

That is it my sister, we love everyone. Even the love I have for you is the reason why Lagos is growing.

[quote author=Mr. Globe]where is the statistic/report/proof that show that the yerubas are the most wealthy black people in the uk or is it just the usual false alarm? Like dbanj said he has the Number 1 record in the UK charts and like Tinubu got a first class in toronto? #Justsaying [/quote]Mr Globe, e don do jare

Alumnus: Am sure there is a difference btw being appointed a commissioner and winning an election, as far as the Nigerian state of over 50yrs is concerned, such a thing is still a wish, it has never been recorded.

Winning the election would still take time as we are less than 60 years in age.

Lets start from appointment, then gradually we would upgrade

bashr8: fighting who , when you visited abuja ,ph like u claimed did you see indigens beating up non indigiens and chasing them away? yorubas had no say in llagos until 1999 when it became part of the southwest after the military left by then it have already become cosmopolitan just like every other major city in nigeria so i will really like to know what accomodation they are giving others that them are not getting in other non yoruba cities.

What do you mean by no say ?

This is the sort of statement that makes indigenes go gaga Bashr8 watch your mouth Aunofia

jason123: I am not even Yoruba but it seems that there is a pattern. From Abuja to Port-harcourt, now Lagos

Why is it only people of IGBO origin that are so interested in fighting the indigenes of Lagos?! What is it with some of you guys?!

ask them o !!!!

babsjnr: go and suck ya mum most wealthy black people in uk are yoruba. Dis ugly ibo bit*c only earn £50 k per annual

LOL e don do, Sometime we should just laugh about things like this if not it would go down liek every other threads

Johndoe100: Never call me ibo. I don't want to insult all those sheep and cattle in your familly tree. I thought you and Jason123 are the same person is that why you always appear on the same threads? Anyway your state has turned to Somalia aka Mogadishu. You now want to come and make noise here.

LOL very funny man, You are Igbo whether by colonisation or mentality. Accept this fact and start speaking Kedu !

Being Igbo goes beyond your ethnicity, it has alot to do with the way you think !

[quote author=Mr. Globe]Igbo people keep repping Nigeria in the diaspora while Bluetooth's people are always in the news for ingesting world cocaine record, child molestation, gay assylum and robbery. You would imagine if we are from the same country. Ha! [/quote]

Alumnus: Pls can you give me the name of any house member representing a state that is not his', I don't even mean a state outside his tribe?

Ok I don't know of HOR

but these are the ones I know of

1. Abacha's son an indigene of borno is contesting to win in kano

2. We have 2 commissioners in Lagos who are of Igbo origin

Those are the ones I know for now, I am sure they are more

Now the tribalist are rolling in

Johndoe100: I agree wholeheartedly and the common enemy are the ibos. We should forma temprary alliance with the Odudua people just to eff the ibo up.

LOL it seems like you are drunk today

Johndoe100: Why do you ibo dogs always do this? Any thread to do with my state and you bring your stinking selves to come and derail. You guys are just filth. Let me explain something, you (meaning the ibo) who have his attitude have been, are and will remain the dregs.

Shut up tribalistic mo.ron, what makes you different from those you are calling dogs ? Eh You are Igbo yourself

I strongly pray that Nigeria start separating.

Alumnus: A woman (not even a man) is elected in another man's land yet my own countrymen said its their birthright to rule till eternity. I can't even imagine running for house of rep in another state even though am a full blooded Nigerian. The difference is clear. Congrats Madam!

Yes you can !!!

Where are you getting this Ideas from that your can't

Josyrogers: Can a yoruba man be a local govt councelor in igboland? Or vice versa? But here you have a foreigner being elected to serve in a foreign land. And you all clap and say ''good, good!''. Hypocrites. Stop your tribalistic tendencies and see how fast you'll progress.

Actually go check for facts right, I don't know about Igbos allowing the yorubas but Yorubas have 2 commissioner in Lagos of Igbo origin.

We are progressives and don't care if you are Igbo or not

dayokanu: Dendemoron,

You are not making any sense. Go back to school or enroll for classes with alj harem

Thank you jare

papatosibe: nice ti.ts, is you a call girl?

Fstranger on the move, Are on kanka fo very raw

dayokanu: Sweetheart wetin I do.

Come to my house, I would accommodate you for several decades, You go born plenty pikin for me

Ole

Dede1: Your illogicality is beyond moronic. If Asokoro peeps became accommodating because they were/can be easily bullied regardless their territory was chosen as the seat of Nigerian government, the same goes to Yoruba. However, if Asokoro peeps are accommodating due to sheer magnanimity, Yoruba pepps are too, olodo omo jigbiti.

aru o naya gi ? Oga Dede can you not comprehend

Yes ofcourse Asokoro people are accommodating as well moreover it was their son Babangida that wanted it. With the Yorubas it is a different case entirely same with Jos indigenes, it was forced on them.

dayokanu: Dendemoron,

Do you want to injure us with all these bullets?

dayo kanu take am easy o !!! Oga Dende

engineerd: whats is this? she-male?

babsjnr: Is that man or woman

engineerd: whats is this? she-male?

[size=18pt]Woman !!!!![/size]

Brixtonyute: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

Nigerians and celebrating non-achievements.. Mayor of Enfield

What's there to celebrate??

Just pray the EDL boys at Enfield town don't smash her face in... Smh..

Why can't you guys put the Mayor of Ikeja on front page?? Ikeja is 5 times bigger than Enfield..

I smell low self-esteem, and inferiority complex...

Fela Kuti - Colonial mentality

Ikeja is in Nigeria, Enfield is another man's land

there is a difference. Bros this is an achievement

Dede1: If I should follow your misguided logic, it is correct to ague Yoruba peeps were easy to bully since the British made Lagos capital of Nigeria and handed the leadership to northern political elites who deliberately held the position of ministry of capital territory till the capital was moved from Lagos to Abuju, olodo.

Nope, the british were not part of the Yoruba ethnic nation unlike Babangida thus they could careless about Yorubas. Olodo aturu

Comprehend Agbaya dende

stillwater: Very true. Nobody can take it from them. Credits should be given to whom it's due. The Yoruba miscreants on NL like dayokanu are not the face of the Yoruba people. Yorubas are very accommodating.

Where have you been beauty

Dede1: You are not quotable talk less of misquoting you. Explain what you meant when you wrote, “it is very easy to bully them”, olodo.

I mean, Babangida made Abuja the FCT, Asokoro people are part of Nupe ethnicity thus if Babangida can see it happen and relocate the indigenes, then it is easier for people to work on the land without hassle since he knew the consequences.

Have I made myself clear Agbaya dede

mimifonwon: [/color]

Anyways the test for me came out this way:

Father( my dad claimed 100 percent yoruba parentage)- yoruba from ijebu-igbo= 35% igbo of subsharan africa, 55% yoruba of subsharan africa, 10% of fulani of subsharan africa.
Mother from umuahia( mom claimed 100% igbo)-95% igbo of subsharan africa, 5% undetermined

Then i did my own
and me= 65% igbo of subsharan africa, 25% of yoruba of subsharan africa, and 10% fulani of subsharan africa



So basically the genes that are shared between each group that never changed is what gives the percentage- that is how most african americans sold into slavery are tracing the roots back to africa. I hope i explained it well

Oh I see, does the DNA changes with food or way of life. Don't get me wrong I read the post and understand what it meant

A swahili would have a different DNA from a kwa person but I am talking in terms of differentiating this.

Ok for example, I am light skin as well and when I was a kid, I was called Igbo because of my skin and also because I could not speak the native language. (Although I have gone slightly darker now and very good in my langauge). My mother is a very light skin woman. Do you think if I do the DNA as well I would be 60 % Igbo, 30 % Yoruba 10 % Ijaw etc.

Given that we all eat the same food, in the same geography etc there really should not be a form of difference in the DNA even if you look at the family tree.

Remember over thousands of years, families mix up etc so there is no reference point to point out which is 60 % Kwa etc.

For you to be able to know the ethnic percentages that a person is made up of, I think there should be a 100 % reference point

Do you see what I mean, Again don't get me wrong I am not trying to teach you your profession, I no sabi book myself

But I am sure you understand with I mean.

I don't mind if you can educate me on this aspect, I am willing to learn for you. Thanks
