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.

@ 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.

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

thats my kobo kobo

Roland17:

abeg leave my kobo J alone.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=721357.msg8797257#msg8797257 date=1311736499]Definitely. And it took some time to go away.[/quote] why, what made you feel like such ?

I can tell you i do not really care about africa or black but yes Nigeria is my pride anyday anytime

because the country has such great potential. I always thought that being a Nigerian is different from bring an african.

i might be wrong

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=721357.msg8797245#msg8797245 date=1311736255]Most people go through these feelings at some point in their life. Some overcome, others fall to the wayside.[/quote]did you go through that feeling as well

Obiagu1:
If you're looking for an Igbo suitor, go and marry one yourself if you have money.
There are a lot of struggling ones, with good heads on their shoulders, that will marry you.

but she is a woman, or is she meant to pay for that as well ?

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=721357.msg8797219#msg8797219 date=1311735765]oh wow.

no wonder i could never get an igbo suitor.

too dark or is it too black.[/quote] don't mind them. they don't understand that black means beauty. it is what white people call inferiority complex where black africans want to be white jews by force or according to them "they want to go back to there natural complexion"

yes they are the most pan-african group.i dey laff o

nebeolis:

don't take this forum serious every time. some people are just mad and would do anything to discredit the other

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=721357.msg8797194#msg8797194 date=1311735333]I should post pictures of Kidd and Farmar for those who don't follow hoops:
It will be funny if one day Igbos all look like this[/quote]hopefully they would if they work hard on it

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=721357.msg8797174#msg8797174 date=1311735047]Just read vicenzo's post. Imo a faster way to do this is just to marry a white chick. Do that for two generations and your grandkids will be 75% white, and thus super light. Kids will look like Jason Kidd or Jordan Farmar [/quote]

EzeUche:
The public sector is always ineffective when it comes to running a parastatal. Rice cultivation should be left for the private sector which is more efficient.

Government parastatals are a waste of money which can be used to improve infrastructure and education.

gbammm well supported

ezeagu:
Why are you guys calling each other Omo Igbo to start with?

to insult or castigate people just like the whites hate been call gypsys

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=721567.msg8796555#msg8796555 date=1311722229]That part I don't agree with. It doesn't make sense, if you think about it.[/quote]Christians can set up their own non-interest banking. To see which is better if it is the Islamic banking and their rules or the Christian banking and their rules. All we should really be consided about is if small and medium scale businesses can get cheap loans of little or no interest issued by the bank.

this is very good for business and the economy if u ask me

his analysis is good

[b]I got a few scud missiles from my Christian brothers and sisters last week over what they called my support for Islamic banking. Some say I was ill-informed, completely ignorant about what is happening. Their argument is that the CBN governor, Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has gone too far by setting up a Sharia-regulatory department for the sole purpose of Islamic banking, which they argue in illegal. One of the respondents said the same rules should be applied to all non-interest banks and Islamic ones shouldn’t be subjected to a different regulatory organ. This, they argue, offends the laws regulating banking and finance in Nigeria. While I respect their arguments, my position is that we should not throw away the baby with the bath water. Christians can set up their own banks and provide non-interest loans. That would make the whole system more exciting and competitive. As for Sanusi breaching the law, well, that must be sorted out in the courts. My interest is that small and medium scale businesses need soft loans and cheap funds to grow—and whoever can provide that must be encouraged. Shikena![/b]

I know now, your village is in Anambra, I think I remember you called it Aturocha, am I correct?

no nnewi north

ezeagu:
I can just imagine the millions of Igbo girls chasing after Yoruba men.

Population of 90% Igbo, 10% Efik.

Everything everyone has to say about Igbo people is usually a compliment, calling your most beautiful girls Igbo, calling Igbo men money chasers, calling Igbo people strong enough to swallow stones without drinking water.

do you know i am igbo as well ?
