phreakabit:
I think if its a Southerner he should be arrested and "deported" back to the south! Fair enough?

but a northerner should be killed, isn't it ? even though he is innocent

phreakabit:
As long as JTF remains there in the North to kill ANYONE that "misbehaves" (misbehavior should be enough to deserve being killed, as long as they are Northerners). Then, I have absolutely no problem at all!!!!!

u are wicked. what about southerners that misbehave in the north

yorubas indigenes in cuba, togo, Ghana, and other countries

The homeland of Yorùbá culture is West Africa. Due to the European colonial policy of partitioning*, this homeland spans the four West African countries of Nigeria, Benin Republic, Togo, and Ghana. (Although the culture is also found in the West African country of Sierra Leone, this is part of the Diaspora.) Various myths, legends and stories enshrined in Ifá, the Sacred Scriptures of Yorùbá Religion, proclaim Ilé-Ifë to be the place where the Earth and all its inhabitants were created. The name Ilé-Ifë comes from the noun “Ilé” (which means “home” or “house”) and the verb “Ifë” (which means “to expand” or “to spread out”). The belief in Ilé- Ifë as the cradle of life is one key element of Yorùbá culture in Africa and the Diaspora.
It is estimated that the population of the Yorùbá in West Africa is twenty-five million. This makes them one of the largest groups in sub-Saharan Africa. Their largest concentration is in the southwestern parts of Nigeria where they number about twenty-three million. With an estimated population of 10 million, Lagos (also known as Èkó, its original Yorùbá name) is by far their most populous city. Eko is nigerians commercial capital


In the Benin Republic, which borders Nigeria to the west, there are about one-and-a-half million Yorùbá people living in the central and southeastern parts of the country. Some of the main Yorùbá cities in Benin Republic include Kétu,cotouno Sábëê (also spelt Sabe), and Porto Novo (also known as Àjàsê, its original Yorùbá name). port Novo and cotonuo are benin republic major and commercial capital


In Togo, the Yorùbá occupy the south central regions of the country. Togo’s second largest city, Atakpame (also known as Ifë-Aáná) is a Yorùbá city. There are about 50 Yorùbá villages in Ghana. Yorùbá-speaking slaves were settled in Sierra Leone after the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Ife-aana or atakpame is togo commercial capital


As a result of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, contemporary economic migration, and voluntary cultural identification, close to seventy-five million “black”, “white”, and multi-racial peoples in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Columbia, Cuba, France, Haiti, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, UK, USA, and Venezuela now organize their day-to-day lives on the basis of Yorùbá beliefs and cultural practices.


Brazil has the largest concentration of Yorùbá people in the Diaspora. Although demographical data is not readily available, field research by this author and others suggest that close to twenty million people in Brazil will readily trace their ancestry to the Yorùbá of West Africa. This is also evidenced by the various denominations of Yorùbá (or Òrì«à) religion that are prevalent in Brazil.


Cuba deserves a special comment, not just because of its citizens who trace their ancestry to West Africa, but also because of the significance of Ifá in Cuba. Santería and Lukumí are important denominations of Yorùbá religion in Cuba.
Despite the fact that no comprehensive study of the dialects of Yorùbá culture has been published, on-going field research by this author and others indicate that there are over fifty different dialects of Yorùbá language in West Africa and the Diaspora. Although languages such as English, Portuguese, French, and Spanish are the main languages spoken in different parts of the Yorùbá Diaspora, due to the continual emigration of Yorùbá peoples from West Africa to Europe and the Americas, Yorùbá language is still spoken by millions of people in the Diaspora. Moreover, the slaves in the Diaspora generated new dialects of the Yorùbá language. These include Creole in Sierra Leone and Lucumí in Cuba.

We had an election to win and we won at any cost!! Spin and spell inclusive

The important thing now is to move this potentially great nation forward! And things are looking up!!
Don't you just love the new Trade and Investment ministry?? The country is expanding and opportunities are cropping up in numerous areas. The man with an eye would take advantage and harness the opportunities! In this next 4 years, the private sector is king!!

I am comfortable with the Jonathan presidency and I'm happy, like most other Nigerians that voted him en masse that the man had a convincing victory! If anything, at least the world gave immense accreditation to his victory!!


Regards the Benin-Ore road, everything I wrote is true!! The pictures I snapped are true! The Ore section as I acknowledged in the article(which is less than 10km out of about 400km) still stays bad till this day and I am not sure why. Perhaps the rains have slowed down work!

can you imagine, yet we say we are suffering

Gbenge 77:
To the average Ibo man,Lagos is the "eldorado".And of course,they have flooded Lagos in record numbers,seeking to "sell market".I m willing to bet the most daring,audacious and notorious criminals are ibos(no offense).its high time the LASG sent them back to their states of origin.

ah ah ah careful please i beg you

do not join them in this tribalism, they have changed a lot of people on the forum, please my advice for you is to stop reading every post

some posters are not even worth read once you see the username

just ignore it.

odiaero:
^^ Make we hear wor jor, why OBJ no fix am? any small thing GEJ  

abeg shut up and stop all this crap

so because OBJ no fix am

e mean say Jonathan should not fix it as well or should remain blameless

see ur reasoning

jmaine:
MEND has never targeted a particular tribe or religion . .and the never used the Bible as an excuse for their violent actions . . . . So your post is void


The Berom have never said they were fighting for Christianity or reference their fight to the bible . . .theirs is land dispute with a largely tribal infusion . . .

Even the OPC is a mix of both Muslims and Christians and that was a one off crisis situation  . . .with an ethnic colouration . . .and again . .no religious excuse was given for it . . . Tell us another killing that happened before this episode and another after this event

They reacted to your Northern folks incessant sacrifice of their kinsmen . . .and it was largely ethnic . . .they never gave an excuse related to the bible . . Tell us another killing that happened before this episode and after this event


Oga, would stop kidding and get serious   . . . What was the security report  . . .What are the newspaper, television and the internet for . . so it should be dismissed since i was not there . . . The Sultan is right afterall  

When a particular event is recurrent in a particular part of the country and for a particular reason . . .what do you expect people to think . .more so, in consideration of the peaceful coexistence the south where we have Muslims, Christians,Animist and Atheist (very few) e.t.c  without any form of friction other than mutual respect for each other . . .Compare that to what is happening in the North . . .

BTW what was your Sultan injection suppose to serve . . very hilarious i must admit . .ma guy . .you no get case for the matter wey consign this thread  . . .

so I have one question for you jmaine

Just because some people are commiting atrocities, it means Islam is bad or all muslim or northerners including me are all evil

i would like to hear you reply knowing fully well how much I have castigated boko haram

.

Beaf:
It was necessary to consult and invoke forces for the release of broda Aregbesola. After Osun people took his case to higher dimensions by killing 7 white chickens, 7 goats, seven cows at okeeshududu forest, the megalomaniac of Osun's eyes opened!

I really pity anybody from Osun state, they are in for a ride as wild mad looking hair on Aregbesola's chin. How did they vote in such a clown?
The man has seen fit to make several grandiose and abandone his state while touring Earths four winds.

You gats to hail!
Here is a man single handedly lifting the Nigerian 'hidiot' scale to impressive heights. He was going to massively sell yams to Lagos and bring farming tools back on the return journey; the goal? To industrialise Oshun by building their very own version of Oke-Arin market. Thats true visioneering!
Not stopping there, Aregbesola set up camp in Lagos, supervising Fashola and his choice of commissioners. All the while making vaporous speeches that would have made customers of Yaba-left quake with jealousy; bereft of the weighty strain a cabinet would have placed on his "agile" mind and no doubt with boko haram his leading light, Aregbesola set up the very first sharia court in Southern Nigeria.

guy you and your president are a big joke

why not talk about your president that is just looking as the country is going to blazes slowly

beaf i no go lie, you be mumu, ideeiot after selling us jonathan

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=723856.msg8818588#msg8818588 date=1311997096]The north or yorubaland. There is more space there and high unemployment. Would be great to site it in either of the two places. If the north, then the NW is the best because of its vast size.[/quote]lets not turn this to ethnic reason. let be clear headed and objective

the north is too hot for a nuclear power plant

the west is to conjested and more over, they have given a lot of land to the country already

the SS is an oil area and would be silly if it is put there unless they are looking at the avilability of cooling water

just the middle belt and east left

the middle belt also carries our food and dumb if a nuclear power plant is there, also abuja is the capital

leaving the east.

antitpiah:
Actually it can. Have you heard of SNPs, haplotypes etc.

You need to learn about genetics before making fun of stuff. Honestly, We are more diverse and different than you think.

The difference between an Awori and Ijaw is more pronounced than the difference betweeen an Awori and a White man.

just read it now, it talks of mapping of the human genes but that does not prove anything

yes just going to look to it now but i am sure DNA test can not tell the difference which amor4ce comfirmed from his links

i would look to it thanks

jmaine:
Did you call them lazy . . . guess the comfort of technology they churn out on a consistent to make your life easier is due to laziness . . .

And how many hundreds of years does it take it to get to that harm[b]less[/b] state . . .The challenge of nuclear waste is in it's long resident time in a toxic state cos any leakage or unforeseen circumstances can lead to radioactive poisoning

So how can you ensure the emboldened does not occur for like hundreds of years . . . Won't that pending question bother you . . .

sorry saw you post late

1. this is not about technology, all they do is wanting to remove the waste without any stress and that is why they put it in countries shore line or export them to african countries

2. it takes hundreds of years sometimes even thousand, but we do not care so long as it is buryed in the core north and does not lick them the years in immaterial

3. it would not occur if it is sealed in a tight lead container and buryed to about few thousan feet down the earth surface

[quote author=Beaf link=topic=723946.msg8818466#msg8818466 date=1311993771][/quote]dude can you pls keep shut,

tell us what GEJ is doing about the flood in the west, erosion in the east and Boko haram in the north

you said you are busy with project when it is clear you and Jonathan are enjoy the country's money

bunch of mumu-s

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=721357.msg8818352#msg8818352 date=1311990692]Interesting. Yeah, I never quite understood how they'd be able to distinguish that closely via DNA. Maybe the science is good enough to tell the 250+ groups in Nigeria apart (or the main 3). If so, that is very impressive. But it seems like it'd be really hard.[/quote]LOL that is the point

maybe DNA can tell the difference of who is awori and who is ijaw

maybe who is bini.ika and who is igbo


i dey laff at ignorance,

No more argument!!!

Caliente:
[size=13pt]Question: Who or what made them uneducated. Answer: Muslims and Islam. Instead of sending your children to real school, you say western education is sin. You send them to be brainwashed with arabic understanding of ONLY the VIOLENT pages of Islam. Used them as foot soldiers always in the activated terror mode. Human beings are embracing education and you are embracing a pinch of arabic letters.[/size]

No it is not Islam or Muslims. The region is a bit poor and as such can not employ teachers as the south. Infact the whole yaba has more schools than the NE combine. Now this is not Nigerian's fault but our leaders like atiku and co

Western education is not sin or else, i would not be able to post , would I?

Northern elites are the problem not us the people. And moreover you can learn arabic and western education at the same time. as it is done in most schools

guy no vex me oo. u no see the pictures of the helpless beggars wey dem post for there? are those ppl not suffering too?

chino11 his brain was permanently affected like the whole generation of ibo ppl who grew up in the 60s and 70s. the only guy in ibo land who was well fed during the war is a coward named Ojuku who is now a vegetable in London.

i know you want to get to him back and heck it serves them right but please don't make fun of people in such state even though them do the same. you should not follow them in the same path

lagcity:
ibo ppl, i am back. let's make this a lively thread once again . you guys make me laugh becos you know the pictures you posted are not of yoruba ppl . i'll post pictures of how ibo ppl became who they are today and i don't even need to label the picture becos there will be no doubt about who's in the picture.

my friend please take down that picture

how can you make fun of people that suffered don't you think this is a bit extreme

thanks for the link but i hope you read my post and read the link you provided. ( i am not afraid to be wrong as i do not know know all this things) lol

Now in your first link to shows that they could not differeniate the difference in a welhsi man and an english man as they have very similar genetic pattern but differnt language. ( you can tell me if i am wrong)

so how can they now differeniate the igbo and yoruba

jmaine:
TAAA geraway you    . . .wetin cause am . . .  and the riot with respect to Mohammed cartoon in far away Denmark . . .   .  . . . The School Principal wey students kill cos of the Quran . . .why them bury the case . . .The guy wey dem behead cos of the Quran . . . .under which name dem give for all this unnecessary  bloodshed . Who dey control those youths . . . dey twist their brain any how . . You think say we be mumu

so does mend/ opc/ akpor akwara represent christians

the beroms that killed hundreds of hausa/fulani, do they represent christians

the yoruba OPC boys that kill hausa in lagos, do they represent christains

the igbos that killed hausa/fulani in onitsha/asaba and owerri, are they the representative of christains

Who told you it is becos of denmark cartoon, the riot started. Where you there to know. are u sure of the events before that?

Yes I agree that some Imams are nothing to right home about. This I agree but can you use that to judge Muslims or Northerner NO!!!!!!


this is the job of the police to enforce things like this and not the job of the sultan or whatever to tell people the reason of such action

[quote author=Abu-Maryam link=topic=723393.msg8818054#msg8818054 date=1311983351]Person we no get money na em de fear case, GEJ talk rubbish Sultan replied who go suffer? Nairalanders, [/quote]walihi aboki you no go kill me indeed

We don't seem to pick valuable lessons from the mistakes of developed nations . . .all we do is copy and copy without recourse to the peculiarity of our clime . . .

The developed nations have not yet solved their nuclear waste disposal head ache  and we are pretending we are not aware, also trying to get one for ourselves . . .common municipal waste that is largely organic is a problem talkless of  Nuclear waste with a long resident time in the environment . . .


This move is disastrous . . .What the heck . . .  The location itself would be a problem cos i would like to see the communities  who after the EIA public consultation would accept that the Nuclear plant be sited near them . . .have we even addressed our security challenges

developed countries are just lazy

to dispose nuclear waste is just an issue of burying the waste in a desertify enivorment for many years until it half life gets to lead

this can be done in the northern states but the burying has to be very very deep and it can't lick
