Is this the Wilywily on NL

no wilywily is a small girl

but them again

hausas/kanuri have been using it for years before igbos

and so did yoruba and edo people

so the first to use it would be yorubas, igbos just adopted it just like other words they use today

yorubas use it for shocking expression or supportive words

hausa/kanuri use it for supportive words as well

Gbam is an igbo iconic word to signify expression such as

supported

comfimed

well said etc

One would think it originalted for igboland but that is wrong and false to a larger extent

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=465853.msg8962682#msg8962682 date=1313768816]Odumchi you are quite wrong here.

Those wrappers are typically associated with yoruba because its part and parcel of yoruba culture.

The dressing is usually worn by oba's wives and in olden times they werent allowed to wear anything else.

I've seen a photo of my grandma(yoruba) when she was young-maybe in her twenties or so- and that was the kind of wrapper she tied.

Yoruba cultural dances also feature that exact dressing combined with horsetail. Horsetails are very prominent in the traditional culture.

I really dont know what you're trying to accomplish with these lies of yours. Its getting too much.
I could assume an edoid link for the photo because of the hair beads, but some yorubas also use those and the horsetails are more conclusive.[/quote]really i don't understand the man

he is even talking of horse tail made from dogs, etc

NO

1. The south capitals where calabar in the SE and Lagos in the SW. Let us too Have One in the north

2. doing the most violent unrest in the country, the capital was still in Lagos even when biafra army bomded obalende and fadeyi all in lagos, the capital did not change

3. Boko haram is National problem and it is not a northern problem, what grantee do u have that if the capital was moved to the south where Mend and co are that the New FCT would be save

4. MEND bombed abuja, do what makes Boko haram any different

lastly where in the south do you intented on putting it

Not the SW because of OPC

Not the SS because of Mend

Not the SE because of rapist, kidnappers etc and Massob a secessionist group. We can not invest there Untill Massob ends for good and we are sure our investments there are save and are not taken to a possible biafra/ new country

odumchi:
You don't have to agree of you don't like. Ignorance is bliss. I'm an Igbo telling you facts from the inside and you still won't believe. Take it from me that such items were present in Precolonial Igboland. I don't want to derail so let's get back to the topic.

Agree! what you are saying does not make sense at all. All i am asking is how did it get to igboland unless it was imported from the bini people who either got it from the igala, nupe or yoruba people. there is no way it would have been present in "Precolonial Igboland" . I mean does it make sense to you?

not to derail the thread i would leave it here

economic genocide i have pity for the man because it is his investment and his money but using GENOCIDE  in every word is a stu.pid thing to do.I mean how silly can this man be

1. he should ask the people or minister of FCT why his properties were demolished

2. he should be arrested for trying to make it an "ethnic scene" i mean why are this people this tribalistic

3. and lastly. if he was building in an illegal land. then the government has every right to do so, i mean demolish his houses but if not, then he should be compensated and he should sue the people involved in it

odumchi:
They can be made out of dogs, porcupines, hedgehogs, etc.

is it ? that is shocking because dogs and hedgehogs don't have this much hair at least of this length

porcupines are spines and don't have hairs of this length, more over am yet to see any of this animals with white long hairs unless u want to talk of the European breed dogs which started occuring about 25-30 years ago

odumchi:
I just told you in Igboland it is made with animal hide not horses.

ok thank for the clarification. Now please would you mind sharing with us what type of animals are those with large amount of hair on there tails as shown in the picture below

www.nairaland.com/attachments/504752_igbo_woman_representing_igbo_attire_jpg533ca18968a85bb6c8c884288cee705d

odumchi:
^^^
Those pictures are of Igbo women. Igbo women wear double wrappers after marriage and single prior to marriage but after the coming of age. Horsetail has always been a part of Igbo culture even prior to the colonial era. Traditional rulers, women and etc use it. However it isn't made with horses in Igboland. It was made with other materials such as animal hide not necessarily horses.

So far I've not seen anything Yoruba or non-Igbo on this thread so let's keep the focus on inyom ndiIgbo.

please show me any link , picture or history book both now and past history that igbo culture has horses not to talk of horsetail

i would be waiting

[quote author=Rhino.5dm link=topic=739852.msg8961374#msg8961374 date=1313759208]. . .And the third fooool has join the party. Bunch'a mongrels!.[/quote]+1000

tpia and ifyalways

that attire is not igbo women dressing. although i learnt women have 2 wraps but the all set is not igbo women dressing

1. were did they get the horse tail from ?

horse are only in plain savanna and could have gotten to igboland thus those are not igbo women

[size=13pt]Why Igbo Youths Drop Out of School[/size]

Enugu — Failure to address the realities of the socio-economic problems facing the individual passing through the education system has been identified as the major problem facing education in the country.

President, Nigeria Book Foundation, Prof. Chukwuemeka Ike said that though there were many schools, the curricular of the tiers of education were not designed to make a positive impact on the socio-economic lives of the people, "including our traditional occupations, our means of earning a livelihood".

Failure to address the realities of the socio-economic problems facing the individual passing through the education system has been identified as the major problem facing education in the country.

President, Nigeria Book Foundation, Prof. Chukwuemeka Ike has attributed the reason why people drop out of school to the result of the Igboman's get-rich-quick propensity.

"Drug peddling, 419, internet business deals, political patronage, and other instant money spinning avenues have out distanced education as the means of acquiring the present day social indices of success, "namely a "white house", the okwu oto ekene eze automobile, paper titles from traditional rulers, and spraying of bundles of dollar bills at the slightest provocation".

In her remark, Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Education Trust Fund (ETF), Chief Mrs. Olutoyin Olakunri said that gender crisis manifests in Nigerian education system line in most of Africa.

To solve the problem, she said that a new awarenss and zeal in gender research must be developed, accelerated and sustained.

Olakunri highlighted the importance of Boy Child Education in Nigeria as a whole in the South East, adding that there is a national gender disparity in basic education in enrolment, retention and completion against girls.

She also said that there are regional variations in education with girls and women from Northern Nigeria and rural communities generally at disadvantage.

"The national literacy rate for females is only 56 compared to 72 for males, and in certain states the female literace enrolnment and achievement rates are much lower", she added.

She said that following this, strategies have been mapped out to address the imbalance by raising national awareness on girls education, building of schools technical capacity to develop girl-friendly school environment.

thisday 2006

etc

Look i am not going to reply u if u keep bring religion to this it should how dark hearted u are

well what do i expect before Nyamaria would always be an Nyamaria.

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=739368.msg8957256#msg8957256 date=1313707955]No need to apologize. They're your views - however evil and wicked they might be. And you wonder why we all are in a single country as Nigerians.

I don't know where you always get it from that Ndigbo eat people but never mind, such things don't make me angry cos they're false.[/quote]OH OH wait so I am wicked but ur brother that have been doing worst things than I are kind hearted. saying awo die like a rat etc. or is because I have tried to be civil and u people are so tribalistic u find joy in aying someone die like a poisoned rat

others even said yorubas should be locked in a concentration camp and be gased. they are all kind hearted

others stated hausa/fulani should be sent out of the country. etc are all kind hearted. now to give some of them the taste of there medicine back after some may weeks of warning. I am wicked

talk about double standards

PointB:
Fool, I thought you said I am from SE/Igbo? Nnewi, Okija, and Abia? Are you confused? You are not convinced? I think you problem stemmed from your almajiri background, the only thing you are convinced of is Boko Haramism. That is why you are a full fledged member of the sect.

Now if mohammed or allah ordered you to slaughter your fellow human being, can't you simply refused? How wont you understand that such order can only come from the devil? Or do Boko Haram member worhsip a devil called allahmed?

u bas.tard, when as Allah or anyone told any body to kill any one . so dumb

or has that okija spirit entered your head again why think of slaughteing men. or are u hungry 

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=739368.msg8957160#msg8957160 date=1313706902]Very untrue. You generalized here without much thought. I know of nobody who I schooled with right from primary school till University who dropped out for business. Even those guys you may know who're business men, are highly likely to have a degree with very minimal exceptions.

Our women are in top positions cos of Igbo culture which is very egalitarian. We don't look down on our women and while the success of our women has been very noticed and acclaimed by other Nigerians, Igbo men are very indifferent about this.[/quote]Ok i am not at home right now so i can not really prove you wrong. for now ( on the igbo men and women thing)

them- people, i have to apologize for my recent behaiour but i just had to put an end to some thing here. No malice

PointB:
Ok. The picture is getting clearer. So the hausa/fulani are the the purveyor of Boko Haram, it is the kanuri, magan, shuwa that are causing the great distress upon themselves. No wonder. So who are the other people causing this mess apart from the kanuri, magan, shuwa let's continue to name and shame them. It's not fair blaming everything on hausa/fulani, the kanuri, magan, shuwa should also take their own portion.

I mean the hausa/fulani are actually saints compare to the real purveyor of boko haramism. And we all blame the hausa man for the Kanuri sins. By the way, the googled butcher - Abacha, is he not from Kanuri?

see this mumu, there are hausas in borno,

now i mentioned those ethnic groups to tell u that u can not label a state boko haram because there are groups in the state that are not involved in the rubbish

are all igbos kidnappers/ man eaters ?

hoopefully, by now fashola would have done something about it by now.

the flooding should not be as bad as the previous one. not that there would not be another flooding because it is natural but he should by now reduce the effect

Omen100:
I have never or ever added a comment to any thread before but on this one, I thinked ihave somethings to say because this has to deal with directly. First, what ever photo's was displayed, was a true reflections of today's Delta State. I don't if it is the same in other states of the federation, it's only in Delta state you will a notorious thugs & killers, parading themselves as hero's & they will be celebrited, even the people go to them to seek. For arms, Beef, please call me a lier, then I will start mentioning name & maybe I will end-up calling your own real name. I leave all my youth age in Sapele but I have tour all the local government areas of delta when I was still Primary educational board, so mr.beef, there is no lies in all the pictures displayed here, even Ibori that was a known crook was never as worst as this clueless & visionless governor. It's high time we has Nigerians start placing things the way they are suppose to be placed. Thanks Nigerians.

thank you for exposing beaf and his lies

insisted of him exposing our leaders and there error the mumu is there supporting PDP because of his own benefit

with his fellow ideeiot like jason, andre, gidson etc. shamless people. they rather allow the country to be run by theives then expose there errors

PointB:
Boko haram members are not Nigerians? Ok, I think I am on to something here. Pray tell me, full time Boko Haramist, where did your sect members come from? From allah? or from mohammed?

u bigoted religious ideeiot why add Allah or Mohammed to this.

why not talk of ur state, or are u ashame

PointB:
Of course because you are a foolish bigot. Did you notice me refer to any tribe here? I simply mention Borno, and you want to drag SE/Igbo into the issue? Why? Because you are no different from a typical Boko Haram member. They reason with the a$$. I thought you could hold your own in a one on one, but I am clearly mistakenly. You want drag SE/Igbo into Borno and Boko Haram affair? Are you that desperate?

So easy for you to pull out your bigot card? You are really a foolish boy. Come how old are you?

yes silly ideeiot , i mean see how he is trying to change the topic he stated

you said borno should be changed to home of boko haram, is it only boko haram people are in borno, what about kanuri, magan, shuwa etc people . quick to label the umbrella of people boko haram

ur bigoted head would not let u reason beyond ur nose

now i drag ur people to it u are complaining . how silly

PointB:
aboki sharap dia,
They must either represent Borno or they represent Allah and his boy mohammed, you must choose either of the two. How can you say they represent themselves? Are you one of them? Anyway knowing you, I wont be surprised if you are Boko Haramian, you exhibit their nature with all your scheming divisive devilish post all over the place. You are member of the sect. Own up!  

Lol see this man eater

I AM NOT A BOKO HARAM because they are not even Nigerians at the first place. I AM A NIGERIAN

but kidnappers okija people etc are all Nigerians of so the same can not apply to them. mumu

PointB:
You can see how foolish you are? You and I are having a simple conversation, where and when did I become 'you people'? If I (a single person) can be called 'you peopl[/b]e' certainly Boko Haram who are even more than me (numerically) certainly should also be called '[b]you people' by your logic? Right?  

i am refering to your people olodo mumu ie SE/Igbo

thrid person/party reference

PointB:
Ok they might not represent the whole of Borno, perhaps the represent Mohammed and Allah? Right? They sure must represent someone or something?  

No they represent themselves.

u a, hole

PointB:
No mumu, they represent Nnewi and Abia people! Guy, you go school at all?  

No i no go school.did you

because if u pride urselve as educated then would do the right thing and be honest
