very good but this has been employed in states like kaduna, kano, lagos, abuja

infact i remember an incised that happen in lagos, in bola street ebute metta. the emergency unit was quike to respond and save the man's live

this was during tinubu's era

LOL so he noticed that people would not talk it likly with his plans .lol

at least let him just do his job and stop wasting time on unimportant issues such as this

Ngodigha:
Alh, can you stop this brainless argument of yours. I thought you know better than this or are you putting up this crap to cajole the Igbo. Anyway, those who wrote Igbo were schooled in the old British fasion. But now Ndigbo controls their literary work and has made it clearly known even to the Europeans that it is Igbo. Chinua Achebe even in the 1950's also wrote Ibo but has since stopped it but writes IGBO now.
It is IGBO.

ok but according to history and what is thought in school round the world maybe apart form SE it is written as ibo or sometimes igbo

which i think is no problem given the fact has been used for decades before now

now changing it from ibo to igbo is not going to be that simple. no matter the insult

yes i respect you views that it should be written as igbo but is Hausa is meant to be written as hausawa

so you see

werepeLeri:
I thought the guy excluded himself from benefiting from the proposal.

beef i think you are getting sick again

bashr4:
did he mention igbos? i thought he was talking about other yoruba states abi u wan force word for im mouth

no no no bashr4 he was talking about igbo

Hambolaj01:
They are birds of the same feathers. Jonathan, Atiku, Obasanjo, IBB, Bankole, Mark and the rest are on tujedic level. If Nigeria is to get right, they all have to be sidelined. Majority of people In PDP are obvious enemies of this country. May God Almighty see us through.

very well said

Arosa:
We don't need an "ex-muslim" now pastor that wanted to be vice president, telling us that Islamic banking is the best for Naija. My problem with Bakare is that I don't know what he is.

He is a Christian un-bigoted pastor that does not only do the work of God but sees the business and economic advantage this Islamic banking would give to people most especially small scale business men and women

another mumu. good for him

Arosa:
I think what Atiku is trying to say is that OBJ is his problem.

u day mind the mumu he should answer the question

WHAT DID HE DO WHILE HE WAS IN POWER

this people think we are fools. i no go lie

[quote author=haka_nai link=topic=722637.msg8806337#msg8806337 date=1311846869]^^^^^ Thank you.Exactly what i had in mind.He is just being idiotic like the Obj himself.The days of Obj and Atiku was like all for one and one for all until they decided to fight on issues very unimportant to Nigerians.[/quote]can you imagine. fighting over presidency when they have not done what they were elected for at the first place what an annoying statement.

atiku has a university in adamawa now. why can't he create employment by employing Nigerians insisted of oyinbo yet he is talking as if he is better,

One day na one day monkey will go market. he no go fit come back

maclatunji:
The greatest problem we have after corruption in this country is the massive ignorance of many Christians. Chei, so if you add Mallam to your name, you have become a Muslim. O my God! Thou art very ignorant indeed!

gbammm

wrong atiku. Infact it is a very stu.pid an silly statement from a man that was the vice president of our country

OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN NIGERIA NOW IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND OBJ infact ur whole PDP party is our problem don't single out OBJ

Mr atiku, what did you do for people in adamawa.

What did you do for us in the north

What did you do for Nigeria. Mr atiku

Nothing yet you open you mouth to say OBJ is the problem. How stu.pid

PDP is still in power for the past 4 years that OBJ left. WHAT HAS JONATHAN AND PDP DONE ABOUT ELECTRICITY

nothing

atiku should go sleep because his political career is over. Insha Allah

lol Goodluck to u all

Are the Igbos different from the Ibos? Posted on 27/07/2011 by Prince Charles Oforkaja

Sometimes, some Igbos get offended when their ethnicity is described as Ibo. They say that the word “Igbo” is the only correct term for their ethnic group. That is not true.

Our founding father, Eri Ben Gad described himself as Heebo, after his Hebrew ethnic group. Olaudah Equiano described himself as Iboe- remember, he is the Equianoist icon. In the Jamaican Revolution of 1816, the Reggae nation named their leader “The King of the Eboes”.Many other great Equianoists (Igbos) have described themselves by different variants of this name. What matters is that we all know they were talking of the same people, the great Igbo race.

So, next time someone calls you Ibo, don’t frown. Smile! That is what you are.

Igbo is the people

ibo is the language

thus you can say igbo is the same is ibo

igbo=ibo

some call it eebo or heebo which to me might be offensive to igbos

but igbo and ibo is the same thing, do not let all this nairaland revisionist lie to you that it is igbo not ibo. that is a lie

IGBO or IBO is the same but it all depends on the context in which you use it

President Boni yaya :- I am yoruba

President of Benin Republic, Dr Thomas Boni Yayi, on Saturday shocked prominent Yoruba Obas and leaders when he announced in impeccable Yoruba language at Ile-Ife that he was happy to be back home.

Yayi, who was in Ile-Ife to receive an honorary doctorate degree from the Obafemi Awolowo University and a chieftaincy title from the Ooni of Ife, said he was happy to be where his story started.

"Kabiyesi, my being here today is home-coming. It is the water that weaned me that I have come to see. It is the breast that I sucked that I have come to behold. Just continue to pray for me, your son who is the President of Benin Republic," he told the Ooni after he was conferred with the chieftaincy title of Sooko Adimula Obaninuola of Ife.
Yayi, who is from the Yoruba-speaking part of Benin Republic, told his audience which included Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Afenifere leaders - Chiefs Reuben Fasoranti and Ayo Adebanjo – and the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji AbdulMumini Kabir Usman, that his country and Nigeria were inseparable brothers.

"Nigeria and Benin share the same culture, people and history. Indeed, Benin is Nigeria's 37th state while Nigeria is Benin's 7th department," he said.

He added that he was happy that the regional integration started by former President Olusegun Obasanjo was being continued by the Umaru Yar’Adua administration.
He was accompanied by over ten Yoruba Obas from Benin Republic.

kumamoto:
Were they really speaking Igbo? I could hear some Pidgin English mixed with it.

yeah the man was speaking pidgin but the woman was speak real igbo

londoner:
Yes, let them start with all the most lucrative Nigerian banks (refunding their investments first though), they should close down Silverbird Cinema for a start, they should send all the fee paying Nigerian university graduates back home, refunding any fees paid for the current semester of course. They should buy back all the land and houses paid for by Nigerians,

Err, doesn't look so attractive now does it ?

The point is, we need to get to the bottom of why these people where deported.

The state governors should be pressured into divulging details and made to redress the situation where they had no power to do as they did.

why should nigerian be in ghana at the first place.?

did they beg us to come and invest ? No

all this  nigeria is ghana big brother has to stop. you invested, you did this you did that only for them to rubbish you. leave ghana alone and come back to nigeria

lets to being proud that we build this we built that we invested in another man's country. It is a source of SHAME because after they would deport all of you.

leave ghana alone and if they deport any nigeria, it serve us right

For what?? Or is lagos liveable?? With the life-threatening situation in that useless garbage called lagos

Yes Lagos is liveable that is why I am still living there till today. 2face Psquare etc are still living there. What about Uche jombo is she not in lagos. Lagos has his problem which is due to overpopulation but saying lagos is unliveable is wrong

chino11:
Lagos has always been un-liveable. The most chaotic city in Africa.

grow up

dumb topic

i mean how do people think without putting things to prospective. SMH

odiaero:
Hi seun or Mukina2, please if u will ban this guy insulting people and going off topic in this thread, it will really stop him from going further https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-721925.0.html   the name is iwonbaoko.

so the kaseim that started it you did not report

bashr4:
your very silly for this statement , so igbo people should start killing themselves because majority dont have black skin? God punish you there i think your the one with inferiority complex. i dont know what it is with non easterners and skin color . we dont all have the same color deal with it or form your own country if you dont like the way God created you.

dude who said anything about killing or whatever u wrote up there

did you read what viceno wrote about his family. i dey laff ooo

he said he wants to eliminates all the dark skin in his family. that his parents have been doing it before him.

is that not inferiority complex.

I think the light skin issue depends on the family,my family loves light skin a lot,right from the days of my great great granfather,male members are adviced to marry a light skined and beautiful wife,there is always an unspoken sadness,when someone marries a dark or brown skined wife,even the girls are praised when they marry a light and skined handsome person,when a family member sees a light skined and [/b]beautiful girl child,he runs back home to report to the umunna,who in turn visits the girls parents to ask for the child's hand in marrage,the umunna then presents one of its male members as the suitor.[size=13pt][b]This was the practice long time ago,it is no longer practiced,but because of it,we have a lot of really light skined people in my family and less brown/dark people.
[/size]
When m[b]y dark skined brother wanted to marry an ngwa girl,my mum saw red,but when she learnt that she was beautiful and light skined,she thought that where she is from doesn't matter,lol,as long as she was concerned,it was a chance to eliminate the dark genes,and when she gave birth to three light skined children,it was a win-win situation for my mum and my brother,hehehe![/b]



Not at all,being light skined and good looking is an advantage[b],it stands you out from the crowd,it can open doors for you, especially when you have a good head on your shoulder.My grandfather told me that they did it because they wanted to have outstanding daughters,who would in turn marry influential members of the clan.

kettykin:
@ yinka , the people who stream into lagos everyday do so for no other reasons than the embassies they need to do transaction, the seaport they need to clear their goods or the international airport they need to go travel overseas.

A deep sea port in warri and akwaibom will change all that , the 4 intenational airports in nigerdelta and enugu will further consolidate that.

The embassies will basically close old redundant offices and open new consulates as business dictates.

I am still baffled and bemused on how a country that is supposed to be diverse operated only a seaport in apapa lagos

so what is the point of all this analysis. It is clear that Jonathan is build 4 international airports in the east and SS balysea int airport, asaba airport, enugu, some even say port harcourt airport. (some just need renovation)

and he is building 3 seaports which are port hacourt, onistaha and delta state

so why not wait and see. all this analysis is just not conclusive as people do not just come to lagos for business like you suggested

different facts come into play.

Here is a simple test of your intelligence. Point out the contradiction . . .  ! I challenge you!
