PStylish:
Where were you when alj_harem's original identity was unmasked?
alj_harem is no northerner. He is an Awori man from Lagos state.
He also uses the moniker, step1, once in a while.
I think he was employed by Nairaland to act as the voice of the north (to speak in defence of the north) when issues that concerned the north were being discussed.


I hope this my post doesnt get deleted by the mod like previous similar ones.

gbammm tell this people oooo

although I was not employed but did it out of free will after so much dehumanizing comment I have read

andrewozed:
Afam stop concluding in the light of your reasoning always look at the fact and know that it is possible that you might be wrong. Are you an expert on history? am from edo, igbanke is in edo, the speak the same language with abgor in delta state because they share almost the same landmass. The akoko edos are yoruba settlement, the igalas speak yoruba fluently that's why they bear yoruba names, they wouldn't just give their children yoruba name if they don't know the meaning. Go and read about the history of great bini empire in the 15th century before posting a thread ignorantly and even bragging with it.

Y'all need to know that "EKO" means only Lagos Island - people were living on the mainland, Epe, Badagry, Lekki and Ikorodu before either the Binis or Aworis got to Lagos, Stop post fake history that only belongs to the thrash can - Aworis are not the only ones from Lagos, Spewing this BS makes them feel larger than life - the Ijebus and Eguns were living in Lagos before the Aworis left Ile-Ife - and the same goes for the Binis,

The Ijebus got to Nigeria before Ile-Ife, y'all need to stop spreading lies, We're Yorubas as well but don't force your fake history on us, Even if I've never really lived in Nigeria, I know my people and our history,

I am awori, clam down. Yes you are right

dayokanu:
Igbos just wan attache by force

haba, there is nothing wrong in what they are doing

if they attache good  

Obiagu1:
It is because of a never ending propaganda by the SW to isolate Edo from the SS.

The record has to be set straight. Yoruba has no connection with Edo.

hehehehe  LOL Nwa Igbo

Obiagu 1 of Nairaland I salute you sir

Obiagu1:
It's not really about having a group in Edo State. It's about the blatant lie that "Edo is our brother" they keep propagating.

why can't edo be their brother do you have a problem with that ?

manny4life:
I mean, several of the post on here has insinuated such, what's confusing in what I said? It's our fate that we've been unable to contribute to this great failure called Nigeria.

Manny4life my brother why are you talking like this. You know the post here are for Nchara Obiagu and co, again I would only be deceiving myself if I say Igbos have not contributed a lot to this great nation. Is it from Nnamdi to Palm oil etc, I chose not to deceive myself and I would tell the truth. I have always secretly admire the Igbos not to lie and maybe that is why I am always attracted to Igbo topic Not out of envy but out of pride that I have a nation with one of the world greatest people the Igbos.

I am an Awori yoruba man from Lagos and I am telling you this. The only reason I got involved in this thread was because of beaf and co no other also I would not allow Obiagu and others to rubbish my people. That is the plain truth

afam4eva:
@al_harem
Igbanke(Ika) is an Igbo group in edo state. Please name one yoruba group in edo state?

Akoko people are yorubiod

Bini people also

Uzen people (not sure of the spelling)

I can keep going

Obiagu1:
Stop yarning opata with so much gusto, geez!

LOL if you no like am go hang yourselves out of envy

it is what it is envious ideeiot

I am yet to visit the beautiful Owerri but I have had a lot of nice things about Imo state

I would actually love to visit it one day

manny4life:
Please, let's stop this bickering because it sure ain't helping no one. Igbo's do not contribute, that's our fate, no argument. All this back and forth is just tiring, like seriously, it has gone from 2pages to 10 pages, yet, most arguments are futile.

Whta do you mean by "Igbos don't contribute anything that's our fate"

Obiagu1:
No I'm not attacking Jason but he seems to be disconnected with reality.
In Warri under which Itsekiris voted in the referendum, 96% of them said NO to Yoruba but he didn't know that.

you are disconnected from the reality

Yes they did but now they are part of afenifere etc and all other yoruba organisations. What then makes them more yoruba after that

Obiagu1:
Some Igbos answer Edet but they are not Ibibio.

But he did not say edo people bearing yoruba names are yorubas

He just say they bear some yoruba names

afam4eva:
@dayokanu
Those names are typical Bini names. They just kinda sound yoruba but they don't mean anything in Yoruba. Can you please tell me what those names mean?

@topic
We have to also understand that edo is the name of a state and not an ethnic group. That state is made up of Igbos, bini, esan etc.

hmmm there are no igbo in edo

Infact Bini (similar to yoruba), Esan, and Afemai(similar to yoruba)

dayokanu:
Former Edo State governor is called John Oyegun

Some Edo state names Adesua, Aiyegbeni

Obiagu

LOL time to safe-face, now it is time to attack Jason who does not want to be with you. LOL

Maybe after attacking Jason you would go back to your previous thread that says edo is baifra LOL

[quote author=FAST-LINK link=topic=862912.msg10121162#msg10121162 date=1328375496]Hmm!
Methinks Edo is the product of the marriage between an Igbo man and a Yoruba woman.[/quote]NO SIR IT IS NOT

patriot2:
First of all the middle belt's indigenous people are not haussa nor fulani, nor muslims, they have much more in common with the southerners than they do with the northerners, and there are as much southerners in the middle belt as there are northerners, without counting the indigenous. Moreover the link you gave doesn't take in count the oil revenue. So, you need to use your brain.

LOL the thread was "What does the north contribute to Nigeria"

who said anything about hausa or fulani ?

actually it does take into account oil revenue. thanks

chima12:
These people are not really serious,all this talk about road being constructed from sw to delta is mere politics.it seems its hard for yorubas to realise that they can never lord it over edo and delta again.the itsekiri,esan,bini and other edo tribes will never join sw or odua republic.isnt it obvious that the traditional councils and people of edo,delta will have nothing to do with yoruba politically,the yoruba who wanted to impose their language on delta and edo as far back as the sixties.these people should be more concerned with developing their backward sw state capitals.

but you do not know of the kedu crisis right ?

when did yoruba try to impose langauge on people  but me I can show you the igbo ones. I am waiting

some of you people are even saying fashola should not be there because lagos is this and that I pity you people

anyway I am waiting

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=862653.msg10121129#msg10121129 date=1328375272]Presido, that was sarcasm to mock the SS/SE coalition.   Jason knows there is no way Delta in its current composition will fold into that blue zone.  Everybody knows that except maybe the Ibos, intoxicated in their land grab campaign.[/quote]o ti to

South East produce nothing, right? Yet when they wanted to secede (and still want to), the rest of Nigeria said no and fought them. Something must be wrong with you Nigerians.

i am sorry I said that out of anger, I did not mean it

How can you say that ? eh my wife

chmod777:
Every tribe is found in every state and so make contributions to GDP. Please can NL stop this Igbo IGBO Igbo thing. Can there be any week where Igbos are not discussed on NL. There are over 200 ethnic groups in  Nigeria. Please why this poo. If Igbos are not relevant in Nigeria, then let them goooooooo. on their own please, why did Nigeria fight to keep those they feel are not relevant

[size=14pt]Who said Igbos are not relevant in Nigeria ? that is not the discussion here. the discussion here is why do some Nairalaners call others parasites ? It is not right and rather than talk to them you chose to be quite.

The Igbos again have contributed massively to Nigeria both locally and internationally.

where do we start from, is it Achebe or Ngozi iweala or Innoson or coschairs or Ibeto or Diamond bank or Nollywood which are all known in the world.

I would only be deceiving myself if I say Igbos have not contributed greatly to the nation. Please tell nairaland igbos to stop calling others parasites. thanks[/size]

manny4life:
Yeah, just like I thought, same GIDD database info from early 2008. Do you really think wealth hasn't moved around? I blame Nigerian Bureau of Statistics because they are the cause, they don't have a decent database to retrieve up-to-date information. Anyway, I'm not bothered about such data because, to me, 3year old data can old be used a s sample but not to be used to realistic data. Anyway how, you try.

My brother I know you are good in economics but from the little I know 3 years statistics could be used as a rough estimate of what it is now.

Wealth would have moved around but the difference would not be significant statistically speaking. Some other countires even do it every 10 years when they do the census as well.

thanks

the world has change!! easier said than done

keep the fate

thank you, you know the world has changed yet you live in the caveman's time when you call ethnic tribes parasites. you see how dumb you are ?

Who is spearheading the business there?

[size=18pt]Who cares who spearheads the businesses there, keep talking like you people have no brain when it starts then no complaining just enjoy with you brought upon yourselves. I have stated that the yearly migration of you people have not brought the state down so all the mouth you all are making is just funny.

In england the India have majority of the businesses yet they are not as loud mouth as you people[/size]
