Justcash:
Even Jesus go laugh for this one.

why

is it not the smartest person in igboland that said this one

maybe that is why they voted ACN

wired123:
Read up on what Philip has to say. You will be surprised. The current Igbo language was from the Ancient Yoruba language, the OLUKUNMI. I am surprise as well. Who knew Igbos are actually Yorubas . . . .

yes they were

they evolved for 1000's of years mating with , ,.,.,.,.,. and now you know what, we have igbo

anioma is defienatly a yoruba clan

i just had sex what a song funny

agbotaen:
1. not all anioma people or delta north people were massacred , the killings were mostly towards communities that are near asaba ,and around asaba.
2. many innocent people were killed by both the biafran troops and the nigerian troops , but i agree that the nigerian troops killed more , may be because they won the war.
3. the nigerian troops and the biafran troops should make attonement for the lives they both destroyed.
4.

yes that is right, but do u accept your igbo connection now. I mean do u accept ika is a sub-group of igbo just like ikwerri, nnewi etc

[quote author=haka_nai link=topic=659931.msg8258231#msg8258231 date=1304519985]Ok o! when do we start the war proper  
We better start serious camp training in case to avoid any attack from the south o! For me it is regrettable.I believe that this has happened and no life is more important than another.But continued treats would not force the hand of the Government to take irrational decisions like how some people keep jumping on the of sentiments driven reasons.
Like Eminem would say "i just said it ,i didn't know you do it or not". Every man should be caught for his actions.The perpetrators should be caught and punished and that is my honest view.I still feel for there families.Only and Only if Buhari has a direct connection to the attacks not just campaign rethorics we all use everyday whilst in his own case he is judged specially based on sentiments
While i would say an attack on any of my kinsmen in the name of revenage attack would only make my people act in same way.Because i know they never joined and never cared but such actions the southern militias treaten or may act upon may escalate the situation.I am neutral for now but if my people call upon me in such situation it will be wise to answer.
Don't be fooled to think one man in partial control of a complex country like Nigeria can gurantee you rights to violate others right to live.Because i think the motivating factor is that you own the country now but, i tell you anyday anytime the challenage comes its also a right to live and defend yourself.[/quote]this people no get time for u my friend

they are on each others neck


trust me, we don't need to go to any war,.,.,.,.,., igbo, yoruba and ijaws will kill themselves by the time we get to kogi or kwara; the war would be over

i am proud of them

i ama proud northerner anyday anytime,

Tada! My dad's from the Iloko clan!! And my Oriki is MONRI EWORO ABELU IGBO, MONRI EKUN A MEJIDOR. (lol, dont try it with yoruba,luks similar though). Meaning I saw a rabbit and flee to the bush, but saw a Leopard and wait for it ferociously without shaking. That is just a little from the, WHAT IS EGBE pages. The book is an interesting must-read 142 pages. Hope u enjoy my story??

hmmm

quite interesting history

i would go check the books out when i have time

this is just the beginning

alex101:
I asked you because you're for one nigeria and I know you want the best for "one nigeria". Don't you think going to the moon will be good foe nigeria? LOL

with ur signature saying "death to alj harem= ndu chuks"

well i take that u are an educated preson from the south (igbo to be specific) so it is just natural for you to want to advance like the western world.

the way i see things is that we nigerians do not need to go to the moon or go to mars

all we ever needed Allah has provided for us, all we need to get our acts together are work as a unite

now igbo vs yoruba will not help the matter at all

to be honest, I like what Amaka/Gbawe/jason/Abagworo/ndu chuks are doing here

yes i may act like a tribalist and post crap but really, it for ur own good

people like eko ile/beaf/ chyz among others inculding you and me are not needed here

all we doing is make discord between breathern and friends all in the name supreirority

if i do something i am not doing it for the north or kanuri but for nigeria ie for igbos and yorubas

the sooner be start leaving this views the better it is for all of us

once eko-ile/seant02/chyz/ezeuche are ban, i think thi forum will be better

that is to be honest

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=658521.msg8255090#msg8255090 date=1304475100]Learn to ignore that one. LOL, [/quote]

alex101:
Too much bad blood on NL.

Seriously, when are nigerians who always claim to be "giant of africa" going to lead the the black race to the moon/space. I thought by now (50 yrs after independence/11 yrs into the 21st century), the "giant" of africa would have built a space ship that will land a black african on the moon/space? Or is 50yrs not enough for "one nigeria" to achieve this feat?

Eko Ile or alh harem, please can any of you give us an insight on how to go about achieving this noble objective for our "beloved one-nigeria"? Something different from the usual tribalism that has overwhelmed nairaland

Thanks in advance.

why not call chyz and ezeuche

why alj harem, what did i do

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=659494.msg8254993#msg8254993 date=1304473243]No one is envying you Yorubas. What is there to envy?

Igbos do not envy Yorubas. Yorubas do not envy Hausa. Hausa do not envy Igbos. Igbos do not envy Hausa. Yoruba do not envy Igbo and so on and so on.

Can't you all stay in your sphere of influence?

We can divide Nigeria up in different spheres. Remember there are 247 other tribes in Nigeria![/quote]no no no

everyone in the country have always envy the ndigbo because of there strength and determination

uche namesake, no fall my hand now o

our population beats the yorubas 2 folds over

i think we should take over lagos first before we move to other SW states

"once the center fall, the rest cannot hold"

what do u say brother

THE AMAKA:
can you just sharap for once? stop dragging other ethnicities into everything, then people will begin to say that ALL IGBOS are this, that, and the other because of ONE PERSON'S COMMENT - YOURS.

but i expect the SS/SE to win  

so how will the railway project link the whole of ss/se together

we need that u know

Beaf:
The SS and SE simply reject any sectional etnically bigoted party led by a drug baron. The movement has begun to call our people home, all those who used ACN as a ladder to office will find their way into decent parties without a sectional/ethnic outlook. There are APGA, DPP, LP, PDP etc.
This is a time of building, healing and restitution.

The real goal of the leaders of such parties is to be next to oil which both SE/SS are pregnant with, they dream vainly of replacing the Hausa-Fulani who foisted basta'rds the likes of Ibori on us; animals that don't care about the suffering and pollution they bring.
Hausa-Fulani have been thrown off, so why should we accept facists like Tinubu in their place?

It might be painful to bigots, but thats what bigoted politics brings. Let Tinubu stick to defrauding Lagos off 2billion per month, frustrating Fashola and driving the state into dept; we reject leprosy.

yes i agree tinubu is a drug this and that

he is bad and also a crap person and i do not like the mumu presonally

but do u not think u a hypocrite because u did not say anything why GEJ used a preisdential jet to pick him up

do u not know that GEJ is shameless for talking with a drug baron

sugabelly:
OMG these stup1d people have come again.

Shameless Igbo people with low self esteem desperate to be Hebrew

You are not Hebrew and you are not Jews

You are IGBO.

Sorry if that's not good enough for you. Move to Israel and see if they welcome you.

why are you angry

if u were igbo and u have nothing better to do with ur life in this forsaken world, wouldn't u claim jewish as well

Desola:
@Ileke,

O n da wan lohun ni?
Can you believe that these people can be so scared like this? These are the same people that call us cowards o. Shey at least na real blood we dey fear but what about these people who are scared of the person wen never even carry bucket go yenagoa to fetch oil. Lol, this is comical.

Ginigini ti ba wan. Who says you need arms to be feared,ehn?

Shameless people. We shall continue to take our share to develop our land. When we are done, we will kick them out like a milkless cow and start to dig our own oil wells. They haven't seen nothing yet, dem go hia 'WEN'!

Aa n mu eye bo lapo, wan n bere wipe se dudu ni, abi fufun ni. Lol,

desola, be careful not to join SS when talking about SE

there are not igbos in SS, chikena

please SS will not joinn igbos in anything, but igbos can join them does not mean they will join igbos

the op is an igbo attention hungry man that hates chikena

Emmyk:
Thanks alj.Harem and every contributor. I'm loving Okun more. We want our state! My dad told me the story last monday. I'm gonna tell ma pikins. LOL. Both my dad and mum are from Egbe. We have one of the best secondary school (titcombe college) and hospital (egbe teaching hospital) in Kogi. Have I told you Egbe is Jerusalem in Nigeria? Okay, maybe I will tell ya all some oda times.
But wait, why do Ijaws and Isokos (delta) denounce been Igbos

Are u okun ? if u are, then congrates

ijaw and isoko are not igbo because they are not

have u heard of apio-ijaw and other other ijaw clans in ondo state and speak only yoruba although they acknowlegde there ijaw heritiage

awori and ileja have ijaw connection as well but they do not claim ijaw for obvious reasons which is they are now different in there way of life.

ijaws leaders hate igbos for reasons as u can see for yourself( they talk without knowing anything they are talking about)

so ijaw is out, moreover i know some apoi-ijaw that hate been called ijaw

also isoko people are not igbo because there way of life is different to igbos

although if u go to ika or ikwerri, those are igbos they are just asking silly to deny there igbo heritage, just like few years ago when some aniomas were doing the same but now they are back to there senses

so my brother, isoko and ijaw are not igbo

Emmyk:
I didnt know untill I heard the story of its formation

this is a proper okun man talking for his people


Y[b]ou are from Odo-ere, in Kogi State; how would you access the politics and implications of belonging to the minority?[/b]


Unfortunately, the Yoruba in Kogi (State) have found themselves as the minority. Personally, I don’t feel good about it and I wished there was something I could do to change it. We have not been given the opportunity to lead the state because of ethnic and tribal sentiments, which need not affect us. I’m looking forward to a time that Nigerians will rise above these sorts of backward ideas and rather look for the best hands to manage our affairs. As an Okun man from Kogi, I feel pained that the excellent talents from that area have not been given the privilege to contribute to lifting the state because they don’t come from the majority tribe. In the same vein I don’t just expect that an Okun man should be given the chance to rule just for the sake of being an Okun man, he has to be worth that position of trust. It’s the same way that I don’t believe that anyone should be made the president of Nigeria because of where he comes from. He has to be competent and possess the right character. I believe that the time will come when those differences would fall apart in Kogi.


So, would you lend your voice to the call for the creation of Okun State?


I’m one of those who believe that Nigeria does not need to create more states. In my opinion, we have enough already. What we need is good governance. The clamour for Okun State owes to lack of equity in governance. If the Igara man leading the state will be fair and not site every social and economic monument within his people; if he spreads the benefits round all equally, who cares where the man governing comes from? No one cares where a good leader comes from. Take Gen. Yakubu Gowon in the oil boom season for example; we were all happy not caring where he came from. What I’m saying is let there be fairness in governance and it would not really matter where the governor comes from anymore.


How true is the tale of frontline Okun leaders trading off their people’s heritage by claiming to be northerners?


It is the same problem of greed and selfishness that made some of those people make statements saying Okun people are northerners. In terms of geographical division, Kogi State falls under Northern Nigeria (by political segmentation). [size=15pt]But every Yoruba man knows his ancestral roots.[/size] All Yoruba come from Ile-Ife; whether directly or indirectly. History has it that people migrated from Ile-Ife.

[quote author=nwaigbo_mg link=topic=657912.msg8241260#msg8241260 date=1304279946]the kogi west senatorial zone led by senator smart adeyemi is a subgroup of yoruba nation
you can see them in LGAs like yagba east and west, kabba etc

but majority of them don't like to be called youbas, they said they are OKUN---distinct from their kinsmen in the west[/quote]this are office holders in okun local government

i mean you people have not been to kogi before but yet you talk

Let us into who the Okuns are?
My understanding of Okun land is five Yoruba local government areas which include the Yagba East, the Yagba West, Mopa/Amuro, Ijumu, Kabba/Bunu and then part of Kogi local government which is the Oworo people. We believe from history, that they come from the same origin and share the same culture. So we would like to bring out this cultural heritage through annual festivals. The ultimate aim, to bring the people more together, to create the awareness that they are one and the same people because when you look at the political situation of Kogi State, the Okun people seems to form the minority based on population. But when you talk about culture, it is either it is rich culture or not rich culture it is not a game of numbers. So if we are not a giant when it comes to political life and we have very rich heritage, we should also be able to showcase that.
