hmmm good story, this is what a nation should be like ,.,.,.,.,., love, hope and peace

Gbawe:
Indeed . The ACN still remains a far better option than the PDP and in that respect one must hope it gains more prominence at the expense of the PDP . Nonetheless,  its prominent members must impress the need for greater internal democract on Tinubu. I have not been impressed with Tinubu's recent conduct or Akande's undemocratic talk about imposition of candidates . it is one thing for a candidate to emerge unopposed but something else totally to support imposing a candidate on your Party if other popular and porven candidates are bullied out of the way. OBJ became a master of such tactics to the detriment of the PDP and , ultimately , Nigeria.

Gbawe, ACN is not a better option than PDP

Fashola is a better option not the party ACN

infact i know people in lagos telling me how ACN will be killed out of lagos

if you talk of Labour party and co then it is alright but ACN ,.,.,., NO

infact ACN is Nigerians worse party ever

Tinubu is doing a monachy system here without the yoruba elites support him,.,. eg falaye, and afenifere,,.,. even OPC and yoruba council of elders

If you look at what tinubu has done in the SW, he will only lead to the isolation, mirgnalazation of the yoruba/edo people

Now he is even enemy with OBJ,.,, although he is not regarded as SW leader but i am sure he knows top people in SW that have decamped to PDP due to the tinubu system of rule

enemies with bode geroge who is still regarded as a tough leader although is in jail,.,. people still influx his prison cell ever

dosumu a top man also in lagos because he is the PDP aspirate in lagos

etc

TINUBU is just holding on because of fashola and adam,.,. and once that relationship between him and the guy is over, that might not be the end of ACN but surly the end of TINUBU

johndoe200:
This thread has bee derailed by the[b] tribal nuts[/b] once more. Why can't you guys give it a rest?

alj harem started it, probably cos there is nowhere in his desert lands that can compete.

alj harem what's up no camels to hump?

i do not see anything tribal about the post above

all we are aguring about is port harcount that's all,,,, what is tribal about that did you see any insult or otherwise

ChinenyeN:
Odo nunu!? Enough Already.

ok i will stop

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=374942.msg7597543#msg7597543 date=1295931361]Is anambra clans Igbo? are Imo clans Igbo and how about Enugu and Abia? Also, I am from Delta state(Anioma) and whe are Igbo so don't add us to the group you just listed, thank you. [/quote]hmmm chyz,, i think you do not get it

some of you ngwa and delta ibo claim to be igbos while others don't

i brought out trends to Ateketen to while if delta ibos are igbos ==== and he noticed they claim otherwise

ok i still have one about the ikwerri gotten from jason123

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=374942.msg7597534#msg7597534 date=1295931180]People tend to forget that there are Aro-Ikwerre. The Aro have settled with Ikwerre long ago. And continue to have sch hybrids. I will claim Port Harcourt as a home away from home. My birthplace if Port Harcourt. I speak the Ikwerre dialect. That makes me Port Harcourt to the core.  [/quote]well go, i think you should leave a room space for me because i also will move to port harcount

Beaf:
Exactly! Oyibo no get tribe.
. . .And we proudly help them call us monkeys.

ok ethnocentric u mean

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=374942.msg7597523#msg7597523 date=1295930972]Please can I have a real answer? You said "they are not Igbo", i just want to know how come? I understand the whole name thing,but because EzeUche's name is Uche, does that make him Igbo? and if not, what makes him Igbo?[/quote]now you are talking, what defines igbo

i think we should go and ask our elders because ngwa, ika, ikwerri, delta ibo etc are saying they are not igbo

we need to ask our elders who igbos are

Onlytruth:
Well, dapobear admitted proudly to be a tribalist. End of story.
This alj harem  is running around trying to dispute it.

There are really sick people in Nigeria.


I like dapobear because he does not pretend.

shattap dai

he did not admit anything because he does not understand the meaning at the first place.

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=374942.msg7597499#msg7597499 date=1295930515]They are not? Huh, I didn't know that.I was always told that was an Igbo town.You learn something new everyday.What makes them not igbo though?[/quote]because they are not,, i think that is very simple your you and others to understand,.,,.,.,. just because my surname is Ciroma, are you going to call me hausa NO

so they are not,, simple

it is an ikwerri town, which i know they are not igbo,.,.,., or are they ?

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=591988.msg7597410#msg7597410 date=1295928161]That's a damn lie!

I lived in Ghana for a couple of years. There are no native Yorubas in Ghana. The Ewe are similar to Yorubas through conquest, but they do not speak the same language. And I have traveled extensively throughout Ghana. The Volta Region which is the Eastern portion of Ghana is thoroughly Ewe.

Yorubaland does not even extend past the Fon, who are found in Benin. And anyone who thinks the Fon language is part of the Yoruba language is sadly mistaken. Fon is more related to Ewe, Aja and Gen language.[/quote]that is right

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=374942.msg7597467#msg7597467 date=1295929850]And who the hell are you?   Have I ever talked to you before to warrant such nonsense?[/quote]can you see your life, ochiaga must be your village somewhere not the port harcount in nigeria that i know

how many time do i want to tell you portharcount is not an igbo town,.,.,. haba mumu

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=592030.msg7597455#msg7597455 date=1295929626]I think it might help to differentiate being "Tribal" from being a "Tribalist."  At least for Nairaland use.  It seems this issue will never go away here.  

Tribal meaning someone who is aware of tribal distinctions and traditions and history, as oppossed to someone who is a Tribalist, as in racist towards other tribes.  

If you can come up with a better classification, let's hear it.  [/quote]to me the classification of TRIBAL or TRIBALIST can not be used in the context here

if a man loves his people and think good about his people he is neither a tribal person or a tribalist.

A tribalist is someone like ezeuche, onlytruth, fstranger because they show love to there people but also hate other ethnic groups because they are yoruba or igbo etc

Mickoman:
thank you.
now what does that make the OP?
low self esteem is really bad. smh

mr man, do u even know what a tribalist is?

A tribalist is someone that discriminate against a person or groups of people due to there ethnic background.

dapobear has not done anyone of the defination,,.,. would you say awolowo is a tribalist because he developed the yoruba people ? certainly not because his alliainces was with the yorubas and he was there leader not nigerians leader, so why should he care about other groups in nigeria [quote author=eku_bear link=topic=592030.msg7597393#msg7597393 date=1295927764]I don't even know what Nigerians mean when they use this term. They seem to use it both for (A) racists and for (B) people who want to protect the interests of their folk.

I don't view myself as a racist, but I guess since I fall under category (B) I'm a tribalist.[/quote]dapobear, u are not a tribalist,.,. ok

Mickoman:
thank you.
now what does that make the OP?

MR. NO HE IS NOT A TRIBALIST

i think he is just drunk today

ask him another time,,,.,.,. maybe tomorrow

how are you a tribalist

all you do is "you want what is best for your people regradless of nigeria" how is that tribal

are the hausa tribal when they only do business with northerners (mostly)

are americans racist when they protect there people in other countries

NO U ARE NOT TRIBAL

all u do is protect the interest of your people just like everyone in the world does

Abagworo, thanks for the honour

jason123:
@ bolded . Hell yeah.
Anyway, I do not want a merger of Benin and Niger because it gives these groups an advantage in Nigeria. Even now, we witness how people from other neighnouring countries vote in Nigeria to give these groups and advantage. So, what is in it for the "minorities" like mine?

nothing

just keep your tagging with the yorubas as you do

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=591988.msg7596465#msg7596465 date=1295911042]Yorubas only make up a small percentage of République du Bénin. The Fon are the majority I believe in the République du Bénin. And people need to remember that there are also Hausa and a good amount of Fulani in Benin as well.

Don't understand why someone like Becomrich believe République du Bénin is majority Yoruba. However I have been to Porto-Novo and Yoruba seems like the most widely spoken language in that city.[/quote]ezeuche shattap dai abegi, go and research about fons before u start to change history again

hmmmmmmm

why not say nigerians why say yorubas and nigerians

good one, there is always hope

Kalu Akanu:
Your whole response is ludicrous of the highest order. I never heard someone wanting to be labeled a terrorist.

Do you know those people cause the ire of the West?

If you rather be with Muslim radicals, then be with them, but I rather a 419 Biafra nation then a Terrorist Nigeria which can be like Afghanistan.

No wonder most Muslim nations are backwards.

and the igbo christian nation are forward

or is it kenya, ghana, etc that have high population of christians that are forward

Kalu Akanu:
You fool, what would you rather be recognized as? 419 or terrorist? Nigeria name went down the drain when that aboki boy tried to do that terrorist act.

Criminal elements can always be cleaned up but having a terrorist stigma is too much o!

why are you calling him a fool when you are one urself

is he lying, the way igbos behave in SA is bad, they can not even try that in the north not to talk of aboard

ezeagu:
But what's wrong with just comparing?

why can't egyptians say they originated from aligbo why the other way around

Kalu Akanu:
Well brother, you haven't been posting like that. What you wrote in 2008 is very true. This is the Abagworo I have come to appreciate.

If you are still upset with that poll, many of us could not believe why you were placed on that. I simply think it was, because you are Igbo and they needed another name.

But please don't sell us out. We must speak with one voice.

what i do not think he is selling anyone out here,,,

@bolded he is nwoke (a man) do you what him to to take you idea as his

why not listen to him

Kalu Akanu:
I wu onye ara nnegi wu akwuna nnagi wu onye ohi.

onya ara ewu nwoke nnegi as in i really mean it from my heart

Kalu Akanu:
alj harem my little pet, remember what I told you about concerning yourself with Igbo affairs.

Just sit back and watch how we civilized Igbos debate, without turning to insults.

look it is because of igbos like you makes us real igbos look stu.pid

why not reason and learn from Abagworo,,,, try to digest what he posted,, if u do not understand ask questions not just chest-beating about.

as i said earlier i can see what Abagworo is saying

Kalu Akanu:
I didn't know that was the reason. He was never that clannish. The man has always been fair, but he was never against Igbo unity.

and is he against igbo unity now

abagworo is just smarter than you people

even me as an igbo man what igbos to unite but we must maintain our cultures and tradition of each clan
