Nigerian has potentials that if well harnessed will make Nigeria a reference point when serious countries are mentioned.

gbammmm since we know, why can't we work together and eliminate the politician

once we break away, our individual regions would just be a joke. FACT !!!

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=862912.msg10135813#msg10135813 date=1328549962]Is the above an admission that the oft-proclaimed anti-corruption coup of 1966 where Tafawa Balewa and Sardauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello were murdered was actually an assassination plot[b] targeted at Northerners? [/b][/quote]+ 10 bawo ni ?

see me supporting Nzegowu not knowing the motive behind it

na wa for this people especially eze ndigbo Nairaland

Nigeria a joke of a country

the enemy of a yoruba man is Igbo

the enemy of an Igbo man is hausa

the enemy of hausa is yoruba

and the cycle of fun continues

The Igbos are quick to point out yorubas in everything, they did it before independence they are still doing it now

the hausa is quick to kill igbos whenever they start their arrogant slurs

the yoruba is quick to kill hausa whenever they feel threaten.

One thing is common bothe hausa and Igbo are quick to call a yoruba man tribalistic

both Igbo and yoruba are quick to call hausa uneducated/almajiri

both hausa and yoruba are quick to call igbo arrogant/criminals and selfish

What a funny country, While the ijaws does not want anything to with the Igbo and yoruba, they want to their resources which is a valid reason.  the only issue is they need to expand their land and it is conflicting with others

hmmmmm

[quote author=Niger_d link=topic=862912.msg10133223#msg10133223 date=1328528372]The Vast majority of Yorubas are selfish,

they hardly treats their own blood nice,  not to talk of other people,

while I was still a very young boy living in Ilorin,  I grew to know that I speak diff language within my household,  I discovered that the language i speaks @ Home differs from the one I speak with my friends,  @ School.

and I was treated as an alien,

this is what they call me,

Omo Ibo,  Aje okuka ma mu omin,

they call be Igbo boy,

even when I got a Job through Federal Govt Poverty Alleviation Programm,

I was Scorned and trash out and giving menial role,   

Thank God I survive it,



Yoruba's are not their brothers Keeper and I thank my God that I am not one of THEM,[/quote]LOL and you are still in Illorin LOL na wa o

I would not be surprise if you are beaf

In it is not a secret that Esan and Igbo dislike each other. I know that for a fact !!

Briggs open bigotry

9 states contributes to Nigeria and lagos

I am deeply offended by Sanusi's comment

Anambra

I was employed in Ibadan where the yoruba population accepted me

edoyad:
Look here, Southern Kaduna  and not Kaduna has supported it.

she did not specified any south or north. She said Kaduna

Ijaws want SNC

Sultan condemn Boko haram

edwin clark in the meeting

other ijaws support femi fani

so far

the Yoruba, Igbo, and Kaduna have supported it

Ijaw speaks now

Abujabir24:
What kind of Lousy meeting are they up to. evertyday meeting meeting meeting. Pathetic, very pathetic

This meeting is very very necessary if not we would kill ourselves and there would be no one to carry our legacy

WE NEED THIS MEETING.

kaduna speaks, quotes

we must sit together and talk,

if things does not hold things would fall apart

they say we come from the north but we are not really north.

I am talking about the middle belt.

Southern Nigerians

representative of Igbo yoruba, edo and Ijaw call for SNC

hmmmmmmm

Femi fani and Ben Nwabueze calls for SNC now !!!!!!!!

Femi calls all nigerian to stand by SNC

Fani is talking of SNC in Nigeria

he is talking of equality

Good now people are talking about the bases of the unity of the country

9ja voice:
it shocks me atimes how hausa/fulani will keep silent in NL and only to get defence from our yoruba neighbours.
what concern yoruba in this writeup. yea you can reply any topic as a nigeria but guide your word.

Awka are bold to say what other frown at,as not to fall into hausa/fulani gun powder target list.

its time to say enough is enough. untill we unite here in the south nothing will change. this pple today another tomorrow.

Again you Igbos are the most tribalistic people I have ever met

[size=14pt]Which one is Hausa/fulani and yoruba again. We have 2 terrorist groups that have killed thousands of people you call calling ethnicity as if that would solve the Nigeria problem.

The way you Igbos reason especially on Nairaland make me wonder how they are tolerated. It is indeed amazing

Mend Bombed and killed 60 people all in one day which was the Nations independence and you are here talking trash. Must they Kill Igbo before you know that a terrorist group be it hausa or yoruba or ijaw is bad for Nigeria

Maybe next time OPC should bomb Alaba and you here that 12 igbo died then you would see reason why Terrorisim is not good even if they are from your ethnicity.[/size]

Pure Trash.

Every group that decides to kill innocent people just for the quest of power and not defence is a terrorist group and MEND and Boko haram fall into the category

We have ideeiots in Nigeria I no go lie

Any Yoruba that tries to convince anyone here is an omo ale and does not represent the yorubas. Thanks

There is no point in dividing and we have another Nigeria in our individual republic. Once that is established then carry on.

Again any yoruba that tries to convince anyone is an Omo ale.

[size=14pt]Nigeria would ONLY be divided into 3 COUNTRIES. People need to start getting that into their heads

All this middle belt and South-south rubbish is just funny. It shows people don't understand WHY Nigeria was made a country at the first place

Nigeria was made to colonise other ethnic groups. In the geographical space of Nigeria, we CANNOT have 250 countries

The hausa have done a very good job in colonising hundreds

The yorubas have done a good job in colonising a few tenths as well

The Igbos are just colonising and it so happen that people eyes have opened although colonised a few as well

Now someone telling me about 5-250 countries in Nigeria is a complete Joke.

The sooner una join Biafra as you wish the better it is for everyone.[/size]

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=862912.msg10130808#msg10130808 date=1328489388]Cosign. I believe in the right of self-determination for minorities.

All of this claiming other people stuff that people like Obiagu1 do is lame.

Even Itsekiri, who in my opinion are a Yoruba tribe deserve the right to self-determination. If Nigeria scatters and they prefer to stay in some South South Republic, more power to them.[/quote]Paragorona is an itsekiri guy, you should go read his post. Very interesting

Also Jason and Kpogede

Omo tire is between Edo, Ondo and delta. I am still trying to figure out his post

Edo girl, MissyB are edo people love their post as well

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=862912.msg10130793#msg10130793 date=1328488889]So from edo.girl's two posts earlier on this thread:


She mentioned that they might see themselves as closer to someone from Asaba. But not someone from Owerri.

And she explicitly denied the possibility of any interest in any political alliances with Igbos. Yet claims that they would not be opposed to looking West.

And your conclusion after reading these two posts is that Edo is closer to Igbo than Yoruba?

And I am the one misreading posts, or selectively reading?

How much more do you want someone to deny you than to say her people want to have nothing to do with yours?  [/quote]No no no, edo people have a right to self determination.

I have relatives who are Bini and I know what I am talking about, Initially I did not talk this thread seriously because I though it was jokes until that ideeiotic Papabrown that cannot even speak Edo came to this thread and saying rubbish.

PapaBrowne:
SEE ARGUMENT OOH!! 18 pages already!!
People are working so hard to claim partnership with the Binis. I never knew we were that loved!!

Anyways, this is my opinion.
Both Igbos, Yorubas and lots of other tribes have similarities with the EDOs for the simple fact that historically the influence of the Bini Kingdom spread across board all the way from Onitsha through the whole of Yoruba land down to Dahomey(today known as Benin Republic) and even Ghana.
The argument is baseless. It is like America and Australia arguing over who is closer to the British

There has been a lot of back and forth on this thread that would lead us to no where. The only thing the thread ends up affirming, is the superiority of the Edo Heritage. A very proud heritage at that.

What is important then would be the opinions of Edos on the said question; Where would the Edo's rather lean towards- West or East + South??
Truth be told, Every EDO man would rather be in the same nation with the South East and South South for various reasons and never in the same nation with the South West where they would be in the minority.
The demand for the creation of MID WEST state from the then western region is enough to prove the aspirations of EDO people.

Again, why does everybody want to claim affinity?? I simply don't get it!! How special can the EDO's be??

Here you would be a majority. Ode !!!!!!

Papabrown mumu History does not deceive us neither does it lie

Before we knew it, Biafran troops were in Benin City and en-route to Lagos. The Republic of Benin was created and it subsequently became the shortest Republic that ever was. Before we knew it, all our Igbo friends and neighbors started saying “Kedu” to us. When you turn around to look at him in surprise, he would say, “Ah, unah, you never begin learn? Na wa. I’m sorry oh.” The big question was: Learn what? Do you mean Igbo is becoming the lingua-franca in “Benin Republic?” Biafran troops were in control and from all practical purposes, the people were being intimidated, etc. Basically, Benin Republic was functionally a colony of Biafra.

Obiagu1:
How can an Edo lean West and abandon SS

Their fathers ran away from the West not too long ago.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=862912.msg10130772#msg10130772 date=1328488497]PapaBrowne is the only person who has made this claim, out of many Edo posters who have posted on this thread.

I am not inclined to place any special weight upon his words, especially given his antecedents as a PDP sycophant.

To demonstrate your point, you'd need ~50% saying yes, rather than only 1 out of many. . .

Try harder.[/quote]Are you minding the ideeiot

Papabrown who is probably them PDP goons, what do you expect

He should explain this to us

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=862912.msg10130750#msg10130750 date=1328488085]Where has Physics or edo.girl claimed any connection with Western Igbo?

Kindly quote and show me.

You have been denied severally by almost all the Edo here [/quote]Are you minding this people, Imagine Beaf aka Papabrown talking nonsense here even claiming they conquoured Ghana when the closest people related to Nigerians in Ghana are the Ga, Ewe ( yoruboid) Fulani and then hausa

that is all

What rubbish

I imagine that papabrown that might not even be edo Gben emwin ye evban rubbish

Can you shut it already, it is only on NL we see likes of you

LOL Bini Majority in SE/SS lol what daft statement

Moreover the dayomey, ghana, togo and co you conquoured according to you are yoruba speaking so I want to know when you had an encounter with ashati because Accar indigenes speak Ga which a good yoruba speaker can communicate with

As for my igbo brother Obiagu1 I have allowed you to have fun, It would soon be my turn o make u no vex

dmainboss:
Exactly what powers are they looking for again? GEJ just gave them go ahead to build their own power plants. What other issues do they really need more powers for. Are they trying to blame their poor performance on limited powers? These governors are funny. They just like to appear on the pages of newspapers. Notice Edo and Ondo sent their deputies. While they are busy discussing and trying to get noticed, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Imo and Rivers are actually getting transformed. Talk is really cheap.

No be this ideeiot wey talk say there are no protest in edo and delta. that he is in benin city right now LOL ROMFLAO
