HABA, WHY DO YOU PEOPLE LIE JUST TO PROVE A POINT?

HOW CAN ANYBODY SAY YORUBA ARE MORE IN THE NORTH THAN IGBOS, I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN KADUNA AND MY FATHER OWN A SCHOOL AND HOTELS IN KADUNA(MY FAMILY IS VERY INFLUENTIAL IN THE NORTH, WE EVEN SPECK HAUSA THAN IGBO). THEIR ARE WAY MORE IGBOS THAN YORUBA IN THE NORTH, INFACT IN KADUNA THE ONLY PLACE YOU WOULD SEE A LOT OF YORUBAS ARE IN A REMOTE AREA IN KAKURI(STILL IGBOS OUT NUMBER THEM THEIR). EVERYWHERE IN THE NORTH IGBOS OUT NUMBER THE YORUBA INCLUDING JOS, THE REASON WHY PEOPLE MIGHT THINK ITS EVEN IN JOS IS BECAUSE MOST IGBOS STAY IN THE SUBURBAN AREA(BECAUSE OVER TIME THEY HAVE MADE MONEY AND MOVED FROM THE CROWNED AREA TO THE RICH AND QUIT NEIGHBORHOOD JUST LIKE ROCHAS OKOROCHA WHO MADE HIS MONEY IN JOS).

I DONT GET INVOLVE WITH ALL THESE DIRTY POLITIC BUT DONT LIE JUST TO PROVE YOUR POINT

bros, just because you see a man who you think to be fulani, kanuri, or hausa does not mean he is any of the above

he might be a northern yoruba

he his name might be IBRAHIM MOHAMMED etc and dress like an hausa/fulani

he might even be speaking hausa but ask he might still be yoruba or nupe or even igala

we are not aguring about the igbo population which we all know is large

but we are saying the yorubas int he north are more than the igbo

Dede1:
You can never disapoint. You read Rino.5dm’s rubbish and you could only muster this gibberish; “Na wa oh, so na naija women all of una dey abuse? Are you ppl mentally stable? For real, I'd say Nigerian men are the big time prost-itutes.”

Yet you have the effrontery to repudiate abadaba’s response to rhino’s idiotic fantasy. If Rhin.5dm has issue with the thread, he or she could either address the thread originator or the author of the piece.

EzeUche:
I am getting tired of you, but I wont insult your ethnicity.

I am simply going to insult the skinny little boy who is hiding behind the internet. You think you are strong? You think you are bad? Well stop hiding behind the internet and let us know who you are.

Have fun sleeping with the Igbo outcast. Maybe that will build up your low self-esteem you ugly little man.

do not mind rhino, he is just pulling your legs

just forget him ok brother remember we are one

we all know the importance of igbos in nigeria even their strong women

Allah bless ndigbo

fstranger3:
Did I ever dispute that?

Andre Uweh:
Sometime ago, you said you are from Kukawa LGA in Borno state, I can't be precise now. In that Kukawa, how many Yorubas do you see compared to Ndigbo. In Borno, you have Yorubas who are mostly civil servants while Ndigbo are in business as well as  in civil service all over the state and other regions. Do not take away this gospel truth.

if you do not believe me, rhino, jarus are northerners

ask them

fstranger3:
That was funny.

Seriously, living in Nigeria, you'd think there were only two ethnic groups, Yorubas and the Hausas. But, on NL, it is as if Igbos are the only people in Nigeria.  And its mostly from people who have no idea what they are talking about, unfortunately.

:::SMH:::

igbo are also well known all over the world and nigeria

ha ba andre i do not go around asking people what ethnic group they are from

but from their names and dress sense i can tell if he is igbo or northerner/yoruba

now i am speculating that the population of yorubas are more than igbo becuase of various reasons

1.) they have muslim names
2.) they have 2 states in the north
3.) most doctors in the north are mostly of yoruba/hausa extract
4.) in densely populated markets they sell clothes eg lace etc

also igbo are easlier from their names

1.) specialist
2.) civil servant
3.)traders
4.) some are even surgeons and co

so it all depends on the point of view

Andre Uweh:
@Al Uche and Jason, Kogi and Kwara states are places that the Yorubas outnumber Ndigbo. Reason, because those states have indigenous Yoruba population.
the Igbo in the north have been more assimiliated to the northern culture than the Yorubas have done. It is not surprising that Nigerian soldiers who people thought were Hausas all came home to fight on the Biafran side.
@Alh Uche, I thought you are no longer biased but am wrong. Even in your home state Borno, Yorubas are found in Maiduguri while Ndigbo are all over the place even in Malam Fatori and other Chad borders.
@Jarus, you being Yoruba will naturally incline you to relate with the Yorubas more than others in Sokoto, but it is not a reason for Yorubas to be more than Ndigbo in Sokoto state.

no no no

i not saying igbos do not hold a sizable chuck of the population of the north, far from it

all i am saying is that in the north there are more yorubiod groups than igbo

i do not what to sound baised or anything, believe me on this even in borno state igbos have there area, yorubas have there are as well

Seems like Yorubas are bearing the brunt in Jos. I hate sparring with intellectual inferiors.

sorry brother but i do not think you know what i am talking about

i said a man named oyedele or dapo etc will proparbly get caught in the violence

but a man named ibrahim babakusa or Amedd Jabari etc will escape because you do not know if he is yourba or or fulani

EzeUche:
Stop peddling lies. Doing the recent spates of violence in the North, the Yorubas have been bearing the brunt of the attacks.

Even if they are Muslim. Why do you think the Yoruba community in Jos was complaining?

The Hausa to differentiate between Yoruba and other Southern groups. Or have you forgot about that?

what yorubas were killed, is it the christian yoruba or the muslim one, please answer ?

the jos yorubas are mainly christians and there names like oyedapo etc which sounds yoruba enough

if any yoruba is killed in the north, it is always a mistake quote me on this

you rearly see yorubas fighting in the north, why

it is because before you say you are killing a yoruba man, you have probably killed your friend or family

why do you think yorubas are not dealling with igbos in lagos

their have been intermarrages for hundreds of years

EzeUche:
Well I hope Yoruba do outnumber Igbo up North. About time. . . Finally Igbos are wise enough to not travel to the North in large numbers, because of the constant danger.  

as i said earlier, the yorubas in the north are not easy to spot because they dress fulani but the igbos are very easy to spot

also a man named Kabiru Ibrahim can be fulani, kanuri, yoruba or hausa even igala or nupe. it all depends on if he tells you he is yoruba or not.

i even dare say the population of yorubas in the north are almost at par with my people kanuri.

you have not been to the north, i know what i am telling you

the good thing is that the northern yorubas are so well adapted to the north they vote like us

Andre Uweh:
@Jason, stop spreading falsehood here. There is no state in the North that Yorubas outnumber Ndigbo. Even Gowon, a former head of state claimed that Ndigbo are second to indigenes any where in the north.
Ndigbo and Yorubas are at par in Jos but add up Ndigbo from the South South in Jos, then Ndigbo are more.

andre there are more yorubas in the north than igbos believe it or not

because they have 2 yoruba state up there

secondly if u go to kano or sokoto you would think you are talking to an hausa/fulani man until he tells you his name

to some extent i believe jason on the population of yorubas in the north

but also i strongly acknowledge the igbo population

the thing is that the yorubas in the north have blended with the locals unlike the igbos who can be easlly spotted

jason

ndigbo still hold the ace card here

because they have a sizable population all over the country in each state

they might not have it is SE OR SS

but it is spread, thus jonathan only needs 25% from each state and i bet ndigbo is at least 15 % in each state so they are still strong

EzeUche:
Abagworo just shut up. You are not welcomed to speak on behalf of the Ndigbo. I revoke your privileges. [/b]The way you beg for recognition amongst other groups is not something an Igbo man does. It is beneath us and it is quite sickening that you have been reduced to this.

You don't have to agree with us, but you there is a certain tact you have to realize. Maybe you should learn from Chief Eziachi. We NL Igbos may not agree with Chief Eziachi on certain positions, but we respect his contributions. I cannot say the same about you.

[b]Abagworo the Igbo efulefu.

you must be sick brother, have you used you drugs today

i am igbo and i do not really support abagworo post here but at the end of the day he has his opinion

and either you or i can take that away from him

that is the beauty of being igbo no man can take your freedom from you

aribisala0:
today we talk about pa awolowo as if he was a saint. how democratic was UPN??

ha ha

brother tinubu can never measure up to awolowo

awolowo never ever imposed his family or wife on anybody or state

the only wrong i know awolowo did in is life as a politician was to make series of investments in the bank he built (i think ebge omo odudua) in his wife's namemeaning he owned a bank and also made investment in it with people's money

this investment is still used by madam awolowo and afenefere today

apart from that, that is it

awolowo never did drugs

awolowo never imposed his family members on any body

awolowo never had this level of enemies tinubu has now

and i can continue on and on and on

Lagosboy:
Remi Tinubu desreves to lose woefully, in fact i am really hoping she loses like hell Lagos islanders, mainlanders, surelere guys abeg vote for labour. Remi's loss will humble the chameleon lord of Bourdilloun, it will clip his wings and it will stop them from imposing candidates.

There is no proof that Fashola himself wrote those messages and in fact Tinubu can do it himself and even if fashola did it , it makes no difference as this is not about Fashola but about principles.

@xfactoria abeg rally all your guys and deal Remi a huge blow as she has no use in the senate except to go become a spectator. Tinubu is sending her to Abua so he can have more time for his many girlfriends in Lagos.

i rather vote PDP then vote ACN so tinubu can be the overall ruler of lagos

in lagos PDP all the way

Eko Ile:
These clownish and comedic stories are getting played out. These bored clowns obviously have nothing better to do with their time,

please don't be silly here

X-factoria:
How does he want to work against Fashola?

Lagosians have already made up their minds on Fashola, so all these Tinubu's ranting will not change anything.

We will vote out his wife, Fashola will win and nothing will happen!

gbammm

thank you

no he can not be trusted

ekt_bear:
This is pretty much the same thing I've seen. From what I've experienced here in the US (as a guy who has lived here almost his entire life) they aren't too different from everyone else. Not really different from the other Africans, Nigerians, Caribbeans, AAs you'll meet at top schools. . . no overwhelming numerical advantage. . . in fact, most of the time no numerical advantage.

It was only when I started reading Nairaland that I heard of this Igbos as übermenschen theory. If you read Nairaland alone, you'll get the impression that they are pretty much Jews (who are imo are on average a cut above the rest), immigrant Koreans/Chinese/Indians/Persians, or some other extremely high-achieving, badass group.

Who knows, maybe things are different in naija. I've not really observed this personally from my visits, though.

i know, i felt the same reading NL until you meet them for real you would know who they are

there are 2 types of igbos

1 are the carefree loving igbos awho would treat everyone equally

2 are the igbo supremasist that believe they are specially created and better than the world

^^^^^

fstranger u dey craze

I am sure you can take the words of that Awori man to the banks.

Half Yoruba/ half Igbo Nigerians are the most trustworthy people in the world.

Good luck discussing with him

he even schools in awo university the person they hate to love

What a nice Awori name you have there.

how come i say the truth and someone lies to me

and it has to be igbos my brothers

recoome:
@jason123: my mama na delta-igbo(isele ukwu) my papa na awori.

good it means we are the samething but fundamentally different in terms of our ethnicity

my papa na kanuri and my grand mama na nnewi from anambra

Ileke-IdI:
*faints*

Since when?

since i married an ekiti woman she has been cooking a food called eforiro

some vegetable like this and i love it

and the igbo woman is called adeze

recoome:
. As for the hausa ladies, they need 2 wise-up, move 2 the city centres and see what their fellow women are doing and stop milking cows & producing millions of children in the villages and leave their husbands in the cities to be doling out all their money 2 igbo/yoruba girls who know how 2 handle hausa men with an iron fist.

shattap dia, you this mumu,.,., i am married to a yoruba and an igbo woman so what are you talking about handling

EzeUche:
Who is making noise? It was a Yoruba man who wrote this article. He was singing Igbo women praise. Give us a break.

shattap dia ewu

i am not talking about femi or the article but talking about people like igwe 1

EzeUche:
I hope people understand that there is competition amongst Yorubas and Igbos. The author of this article is a Yoruba man and he perceives, rightly or wrongly that Igbo women are performing better than there counterparts.

Personally, I have seen Igbo women in the United States do better than the men. I hope my fellow Igbo men wont crucify me.

now you are talking

Ileke-IdI:
Offtopic. . . . Ghanaians are smarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttt mehn. I love those people die.
Their un-relaxed passion for education, yet so flawlessly smart. And they're not smug about it. Ghanaians have to be one of the groups of people I've been blessed to associate with.

i know, but yet they don't make noise

PhysicsMHD:
I haven't traveled around the world. I live here in the U.S. and I'm in college right now, so I'm not basing my observation on cursory glances through name lists or on sampling from afar.

Let me make it simpler:

1. Igbos have a population of 25-30 million.
2. Igbos go to America more than a country like the UK, so there is already a disproportionately higher number of them in the U.S. when compared with Yoruba.
3. Yet, they don't seem to edging out the Yorubas academically in the U.S., whether we're talking about students in engineering and medicine, or about going on to grad school and/or becoming professors. You would think the gap would be large enough to where you could notice it if what you're asserting is actually true, but the gap between Igbo and Yoruba must be either insignificantly small or not actually existent, despite the (reasonable) assumption that there are more Igbos in the U.S. to begin with.

thank you and this yoruba people are not even shouting praises

EzeUche:
Shut the hellll up. This thread concerns the success of IGBO WOMEN. You understand who do I have to put that into your thick skull?

Igbo women are being successful. And we are celebrating that fact. Do you even know who is Chief Femi Fani-Kayode?

you are asking me who femi is   what a dumb question i tell you

it is good to celebrate the fact that "igbo" women are the best and so on but when people like igwe1 start saying rubbish about

Igwe-1:
NIGERIA WILL NEVER REACH ITS BEST potential unless it fully taps into this can-do spirit of IGBOS, just like other countries and organizations have.

this are the things that piss me off the most
