Ngwakwe:
Why is every Nigerian a specialist in everything? Calling for her resignation because of your dissatisfaction or ignorance in the internal workings of different ministries and their inability to maintain a coherent and reliable database has been Nigerian way.

It is irresponsibility for one to call for dismissal of political office holder and not the Permanent Secretary that should know better as to furnish them with a perfect defence when the minister has not spend considerable time to know the workers working for cabals.

Where I work, management come and go however we keep reliable Safe Operating Procedure for any new incoming personnel to rely on.

NOI wasn't even the minister that presented the last budget that was passed into law. On what performance is she been judged. Is she condemned on the bases that Governors and the Presidency increased fuel price like every other previous Government? Which wasn't even a bad policy.

Hatred and Tribalism are always hidden motives every comment in Nigeria are based.

bashr8:
this your propaganda to brand south east governors as the worst in nigeria will not work , south east states still top among the best performing states in nigeria.

how can you brand obi anambra a state with the least poverty rate and highest employment rate as the worst in nigeria? you mad? you propaganda will not work trust me, travel round the country before you make such silly assumptions, if you can give me 5 states apart from abuja that are better than anambra then i might not take u as a mad person

There is no propaganda, the SE governor collects the higest allocations apart from South-south states

About the 5 states better performing I would give you 8 rather than 5

1. Lagos

2. Ogun

3. Kaduna

4. Imo

5. Rivers

6. Cross river

7. Kano

8. Edo

there is no propaganda here, you borrow money so you can build infrastructures that would further generate money for your state and you pay back. Common sense really

Were Ijebu or ekiti or oyo known as Yoruba?

I clearly stated that there was a civilization much older than others in Igboland and I know of Igbo ukwu infact I have posted the topic here before. They ( the people) were not known as Igbos

they were known as Aro, ngwa, etc

There was nothing like yoruba before

I said it was named as omo odudua which the bini answered to back in the days

You'll never get a concrete answer on NL where everyone pretends to be something they are not, ex: alj_harem, to have someone support their bigotry on their actual account in their actual group. On this topic alone, I can name and seen about 6 people claiming to be Edo where from the get go you can tell they are Yoruba and one is Igbo such as the guy with an Esan name but talking of Bini kei? Speaking of connection to Yoruba even though Esan folk stories says otherwise kei?
The OP gave a logical question and had the potential to debunk a huge myth but he also destroyed his thread in the beginning by creating another myth. I'm actually laughing at the desperation both the Igbo and especially the Yoruba are displaying upon here. Culturally and Linguistically, Edo, as in all communities in Edo including bini is not closer and or similar to Yoruba or Igbo apart from the use of oba, obi, etc. Their connection is more towards other SS ethnic groups as oppose to this two main groups.

Gareth, Physic and the Abgorman are the actual edo on this thread. You should read Gareth answer, it narrates to view of Edo on this matter and even has answer to your question.

In summary to answer the question posed by the OP is Edo closer to Yoruba than to the East a myth or reality? It is a myth
Is Edo closer to Igbo than to Yoruba? No.
Is there history interwoven? Yes
Did they influence each other as some point in history? Yes[/quote]Again you have decided to Insult me

I don't care if you take Edo people to baifra, It is completely up to them. We are just setting history right here. If they feel they are more Igbo then good, If they feel they are more yoruba then good

Even better if they want to stand on their own, then good. I am not in any claiming series here. I am just telling you the reality on ground.

well the word yarriba has been there right from the first republic in Oduduwa land time of sango and co

and infact the original name yoruba call themselves was Omo odudua or Nago

Not yoruba

The word eebo was is 17th century even after the itsekiris/ijebu/aworis have started trading weapons etc with the Portuguese

A lot of lies have been flying around most especially from that mumu call ACM10 At least if you think your people who happen to be Igbos were rubbish PLEEASSSSEE don't drag yorubas to it.

1. A civilisation existed way before Oduduwa, bini etc In present day Igboland and it is the oldest in southern Nigeria. Check your history and stop thinking low of yourself

2. Bini conquered Olofin who happen to be the one of the founding fathers of my people aworis(yoruba).

3. Oduduwa gave birth to the dynasty in in the present day Edo NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. The only reason why Bini think they formed Ile-ife dynasty is because Bini language is distant from the present day conventional yoruba. but Go to ekiti and parts of Ondo, most of the people there can speak both yoruba and edo easily.

4. After the formation of bini dynasty, then the bini conquered the present day Igbo people because it was more or least villages and clans.

Get your facts right ACM10 !!!!! if your people were Unclad and running around the bush hunting nkita My people did not and our civilization speaks for itself

Go to present day Togo, benin republic, there are Obas and Onis there and speak yoruba

even to Ghana the ewe and Ga people of Accra, a well learnt yoruba can speak and communicate with them

Dayome was One of the numerous kingdoms The yoruba conquoured and today Pot novo is named Ajesan. Not by mistake not by bini but by yorubas who were Egbas. Cotoune is a yoruba speaking town and even the president of Benin republic today is Yoruba.

My people aka Aworis yes did not do much in yoruba history either were they under Oyo empire but today we know our history and how things came to be.

I am a prince in Lagos and If your check the linage of Kings in Lagos after Olofin (Hope i am right) was defeated, we had some Edo people as kings afterward Aworis again because of the interwoven nature of the bini and yorubas.

I have posted this kingship linage on Nairaland before, go read some of my post by step1.

In lagos today we Aworis acknowledge the Edo people among us and it is a mutual respect thing because we cannot even identify the difference.

The word Eko is war camp in Bini and farmland in yoruba because the aworis use the land to grow pepper, cassava and others

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the word "Igbo" is a recent discovery and it is used to describe a collection of people who speak different variation of the present day Igbo.

There was nothing like "Igbo" some years back because their is nothing that binds them. The only thing that binds them now is Nigeria and it is a case of "my enemy's enemy is my friend". I am not going to dwell to much on Igbo history as they know their history.

Politics › Rochas Has Done It Again As Imo Councils Get N27b For Capital Projects by aljharem(op): 4:43pm On Feb 05, 2012

Imo State Government has released the sum of N1b to each of the 27 local government areas to execute 15km road projects and other capital projects which it had earlier approved.
Out of this amount, the sum of N200m will first be released for the first phase of the projects.
According to a communiqué issued after a joint meeting among Governor Rochas Okorocha and Commissioners, Special Advisers, members of Imo State House of Assembly, Chairmen of Local Government Transition Committee and Traditional Rulers, a contractor is expected to do a minimum of 5km of the 15km road projects approved for each of the local government areas in the state.
The chairmen were equally requested to acquire 100 hectares of land for other projects like general hospitals, guest house, mini-stadium and housing scheme.
A joint government project committee comprising commissioners, special advisers, chairmen of transition committee, members of the State Assembly and senior special assistants in each LGA was constituted while the Speaker, Imo State House of Assembly, Hon. Benjamin Uwajimogu is to chair the Rural Road Inspection Committee.
The communiqué also highlighted the establishment of a fourth-tier of government in Imo State known as Community Government Council (CGC) which will be headed by the traditional rulers while the president-generals, community speakers, woman and youth leaders will serve as members.
It further stated that election into the community government council will hold on April 2012, while the state Attorney-General works out the logistics for the polls.
The Community Government Councils are however directed to take over the management of health centres while those that don’t have are directed to apply to the Commissioner for Health.
Under the arrangement, all qualified communities will be entitled to monthly subventions as those that don’t qualify may be merged for administrative convenience.
While former development area headquarters are to be used as Community Government Council headquarters for those communities where they are located, other public buildings will be converted for same purpose where they are located.

It IS clear that Fulanis do not speak a Kwa language. And owing to the linguistic affinity, others affirm the Yoruba connections. For Byng Halt notes that, "It is not surprising that within a short period of arrival in Igala land, a Yoruba is well acquainted with the language.” He attributes the ease in learning the language to the closeness of the two languages. Armstrong sticks to this same view when he said: "the most definite historical statement that can be made about Igala is that . they had a common origin with the Yoruba and that the separation took place long enough ago to allow for their fairly considerable linguistic differences. There is a whole corpus of oral traditions on the origin of the Igala people.

nagoma:
Al - Mustapha's judicial lynching is a transferred aggression for Abacha's crime and since Abacha was killed by the friends of Nadeco and obasanjo brought out from prison anointed and crowned as the president of Nigeria , one would think that considerable regret has been shown on behalf of the military who annulled Abiola's election and also the appeasement of the those people who believed they were the ones aggrieved, all these for peace. But they believe that all of us non S/westerners who went out to line up in the option A4 sun and actually cast our vote for Abiola and against Tofa were not Sicerely in our deception and action and must have all been involved in annulling the election of a great Nigerian whom they saw as a Yoruba son only and not the son of other Nigerians.
I do not see the logic of saying that if the premier of western region or a military Head of State or a rebel leader and warlord commit heinous political crime they can be pardoned but if a serving major carried out a politically motivated order leading a criminal act he cannot be forgiven , especially if he had people or a person from another tribe also working with him!! This argument is simply hilarious

Hmmm abiola was not a yoruba son but won his election by Nigerians, it was not only yorubas that voted from him thus he was not going to be yoruba president.

2 I suppose he could be pardon as you suggested thus that is why he is appealing. It would have been a totally different case if the court decision was absolute.

3. Again lets not look at things ethnically. The reason for the pardon of Ojukwu was valid if not the Igbos would have nothing to do with Nigeria today. If we want them to fell as part of Nigeria, as part of our brothers, then we all have to make some sacrifices.

Lets hope the Federal court grant them the appeal. Allah is all knowing and we as men have no wisdom over him lets just hope for the best.

There is nothing like yoruboid, igboid, hausaoid, fulanoid, ijawoid etc

You crack me up by lumping Igala as part of yoruboid.

When i was growing up in Anambra, I could remember that news were broadcasted in both Igbo and Igala language.

Many people in Igboland can unerstand and speak Igala fluently and the cultural similarity between those two tribes is never in doubt.

That piece should be confined to the trasb-bin

actually I understand a bit of Igala and I can tell you it is yoruboid

there is no neologism there, go read up and understand why they call it yoruboid

north east anambra start actually speak Igala and thus some people find it easier to go to anambra than other states
