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)

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?

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

No point in bring back this thread vultures would soon come

Bliss4Lyfe:

OP[b], Edo and yorubas cultural similarities starts and finish with juju/agbero and even that is an African thing.[/b]

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

ikeyman00:
the world has change!! easier said than done

keep the fate

nothing will be let go that easy from ndi-igbo

1 nigeria has come to stay; trust

yes the bas tard like boko heram will come and go

then the igbos will continue doing it like supposed to

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 ?

Wislet:
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]

northern contribution to nigerians economy

Can we say the same of the South-east of ritual killings and kidnapping. don't let me bring up the mirror again

ikeyman00:
[size=18pt]Is LAGOS not South West??. If una like talk trash[/size].


then why are the awos asking to vacuate to ur smelly Osun cave?

[size=18pt]then don't complain if ethnic violence start with Igbos in Lagos. You said the same in kano, later to say they are killing us. Don't complain ok, and trust me with the way things are going it would start soon. [/size]

[quote author=Rhino.4dm link=topic=862653.msg10120784#msg10120784 date=1328371548][size=18pt]Is LAGOS not South West??[/size]. If una like talk trash.[/quote][size=18pt]we know egbon, some of this people are drunk and again I repeat they are digging their own pit

the total GDP FROM THE SW IS 77.5 Billion dollars which is more than the South-south but of course this people are drunk[/size]

I am sorry be it is like some of this people are too full of themselves at time

When they shout yaribbas lagos is not for yarribassss we own 45-70 % of lagos was is not awolalal land or yaribas land then I removed lagos which is still beating them then they shout again without any meaning or substance in the discussion other than tribal envy and all what no.

Some even say there are no yarrribasss in the south-south, what stu.pidity.

Johnpaul2k2:
South -south total GDP contribution = 74.52 billion dollars  = GOD BLESS THEM WITH OIL AND THEY HAPPEN TO MAKE USE OF IT

South-west total GDP contribution miuns lagos = 45.13 billion dollars = IGBOS CONTRIBUTES 60% (INCLUDING LAGOS)

North west total GDP = 41.28 billion dollars = AGRICULTURE AND STEALING OF NATIONAL TREASURE  


South east total gdp = 36.79 billion dollars  = EXCESS AND OVER MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT DEY WORRY THEM

[size=14pt]I even removed lagos from it since 70 % of lagos is igbo

if I add lagos to it, the SW gdp would par with SOuth-SOuth

those figures were just from the 5 South-west state which did not include lagos and South east has 5 as well so it is a direct comparison[/size]

Wherever you culled up this info from, be it as it may, I am so not arguing over this nor having sleepless night over this. Perhaps your right, I am so done wit this because apparently, you're just not getting it.

I am not asking you to have sleepless nights nwannem, it is just a discussion

[quote author=Sam_Ikenna link=topic=862653.msg10120600#msg10120600 date=1328369754]alj harem thanks for your love and respect for Igbos but may I ask you - are you listening? Did you read what Igbos went through in the hands of their fellow country men? If the ans is yes then don't you think Igbos must be fools to really trust this nation with their future. Personally I have taken enough of scapegoating in this nation so it will be a herculean task to convince me at this point that Nigeria is worth Igbos being part of it. We lost a lot and for me to always read and feel the bigotry that goes in both directions and not want out is a lie. Whether Igbo brings anything to the table is immaterial at this point, and for those that "bring their all to the table" I say this to them - save it for yourselves 'cause you need it.

Today we live in a world of rapid technological development and I don't want to be here when a "sicko" unleashes a dirty gas he made in his 12-by-12 lab room because he loves or hates me. We all can do better by ourselves. I used to give regionalism a thought but now Nigeria can shove that too. You don't know what I do and I don't know yours therefore, it would be better we all keep our sanity or insanity to our respective republics.

So alj harem my brother, you now see why its better to part ways now than waste more time. If we waste more time we may smell that lethal gas, if FG cant find people exploding noisy bombs do you think they would be successful locating the invincible? My brother many engineering/physics wizards are tired but still sane, at some point they might lose their sanity.

Again I say this, lets stop beating on each other. Let us rather use the energy we dispense in beating ourselves for solutions/disintegration before we all get infected with insanity.[/quote]I agree, there is no point on being on each others neck each time of the day

I hope you people can tell GEJ to do the split
