₦airaland Forum

@the poster, your emphasis is only on the Yoruba recaptives. History tells us that not only yoruba groups were resettled in Lagos. Make it general please.

Okeke tara ose oji
daa n'ala tie.

This thread belongs to the health section. It's high time people respect the culture section.

afam4eva: You're spot on.

This section has been abandoned by the Nairaland government and this marginalization must stop because we're the ones that produce bulk of the languages that people speak, so we can't be marginalized. Is it until we go up in arms before they'll hear our cries?

Well said Afam, take a look at nairaland front page, there are up to 50 threads there and none is from the culture section. Even that thread on Nsibidi in culture section is more informative than 90 percent of threads in that front page. All the nairaland mods has something to explain about this negligence.

The major thing to improve upon is the readership attendance in the culture section. How do you go to the front page and see up to 25 topics yet not even one is from the culture section. If the supermods and adm do not visit the culture section, then the mods in this section has to draw their attention. Most threads created at the culture section is more educative than half of what you see in the front pages of nairaland.
Most of us who post here are not encouraged to do so.

Brazilian club deny Oscar Bid.

Och77: I still remain confused and don't know why at the olympics England, Scotland, Ireland and the rest come together and compete as Team GB but at the world cups they do it individually.

The F.A in England, Wales, Scotland and N.Ireland were formed before FIFA and has remained independent till date. At the olympics they do not take part in the football event, but in Lonon 2012, FIFA forced them to participate because it is a priviledge giving to host nations. In 2016, there will not be team GB in the football event.

Beauty this and that should go to celebrity or general sections.
Moreover, the cultural section is the most neglected section by the super moderators. hardly do they visit the culture section nor post threads from this section to the front page.

I do not understand the need to buy Oscar when already we have Piazon coming through. Anyway Sky has denied it.

chelseabmw: Chelsea have had offer in excess of €20 million for Germany winger Andre Schurrle rejected by Bayer Leverkusen.

-  On the move: Transfer blog
- Di Matteo backs 'fantastic' Torres
- Lampard dismisses MLS link

The Blues first showed interest in Schurrle last season but renewed their pursuit after a bid to sign Wigan Athletic's Victor Moses hit the skids last month.

Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo is keen to bolster the attacking options of his side and Schurrle, who played in Germany's 4-2 win over Greece at Euro 2012, is able to play out wide or up front.

However, the Werkself have decided to keep hold of their 21-year-old attacker, rather than cash in on a young player who scored nine goals last term.

"We were presented with a very concrete offer from Chelsea for Andre of beyond the €20 million mark. The sum was pushed back and forth between the two clubs, but we eventually opted to hold on to Andre," Bayer Leverkusen CEO Wolfgang Holzhauser is quoted as saying by German news agency SID.

"Andre is very valuable for us on the pitch. He has also made it very clear that he is happy to stay with us."

Chelsea have already bolstered their attacking options with the capture of Eden Hazard and Marko Marin, but the bid for Schurrle shows they still have money to strengthen.

What a silly bid from Chelsea if at all they made any bid. Having just acquired Marin from Germany, what on earth do we need Schurle for. We have Sturidge, Malouda, Marin , Hazard and Mata who all play from the wings.Chelsea does not need him for now. What Chelsea needs now is a supporting striker either Jovotic or Hulk. One central midfielder with physical prowess e.g Fellaini from Everton and a right full back-Maicon/Perrreira or draft Ivanovic permanently to that position.

In Imo state, it is Aro-Ndizuogu.
Abia---Abiriba.
Anioma-Igbuzo
Enugu--Nkanu.
Ebonyi--Abakiliki
Anambra--Nnewi.
Upland Rivers--ONELGA.

They were sacked because they were not elected. No one voted for them. We do not need them back in Imo state.

You can watch all Chelsea's pre-season matches live on Chelsea TV (Sky 421).

ChinenyeN: You really have no idea. Omonuan, as far as my actual opinion is concerned, you Anioma are more Igbo than I, but that is beyond the scope of this discussion. I'll admit that I do understand where you people coming from. You feel hurt by your [mis]interpretation of my statement. You perceive it as insensitive, and you believe I owe Anioma an apology. I on the other hand, see your reaction as overly sensitive and unnecessary. To me, you all seem to care more about taking offense, than anything else. It's as if we might as well just forget about having a straight discussion, since taking offense takes precedence over comprehension.

My point still stands. One Naira had no reason to be surprised at his family owning supposedly "restricted" lands since they come from Delta and that definitively makes them not Igbo, as opposed to someone who comes from Imo or Enugu who carry Igbo/Biafra war stigma. Simple, now carry on.

Anyway, I'm done here. Monyem adii iri la hnwe Anioma. Ma ra we akwuu.

Can you stop this idiotic attitude of labelling someone more Igbo than the other. As far as Ndigbo are concerned, no one is more Igbo than another. Boy, admit it.
A lot has happened to Ndigbo before the war.During the war and immediately after the war. But in this millenium, Ndigbo are one and moving ahead as one. If some people in the past has wrongly termed the south east as only Igbo, now, it is your job to correct them. The Igbo in Rivers and Delta are not more Igbo than any south-easterner and vice versa.
My warning to you is to desist from labelling a certain people of Igboland as Igbo and others as not Igbo. Second, do not claim that one certain Igbo group is more Igbo than another. It is just daft.

omonuan: Chinenye, saying that Delta Igbo is "technically not Igbo" is the most absurd and despicable thing to say to an Anioma man. This assertion is what irk some some Anioma people into de-emphazing their Igboness. You are no more Igbo than me who is from Delta. Mind you, there is no accreditation board for who is "technically Igbo." You owe Delta Igbo an apology! Being technically Igbo is purely subjective.

Biko, do not be offended by the foolishness of one man here. He has not got the backing of any person over his utterance. We are one and we are one love family.

@Ezeagu, in addition to what Ify has said above, the histories of our people before this century were just political histories. Historians were only interested in writing about kings and leaders and neglected the social and cultural aspects of our beautiful ways of life.

^^^It has become the an Igboman's way of life. The Ezes have come to stay. The Yorubas have it as well as the Hausas, so the casae of the Igbo should not be exceptional. Government pays them and they work for the govt.
How can we inprove the Ezeship stools in the east?.

ZUBY77: Good news for Chelsea.

but chelsea has never been interested in him. Moreover, chelsea hardly comes for Arsenal players. Even when Chelsea bought Cole, Cole engineered the move.

cris-ngige:
Are Igwes elected, or chosen by oracles?

The answer
https://www.nairaland.com/950035/king-making-igbo-lands

The status of the Igbo women now is all inclusive and tolerant to those who were not originally Igbo. What prevails now is the Igbo culture which the new arrivals have adopted. This makes them Igbo as well. What do you think?.

Swansea.

Thread owner.
What is your tribe called?.

1025: i dey like players and teams wey no sabi play like torres and chelsea but they sabi win trophies.

Spot on.

@The poster, this your thread belongs to the waste bin.
Most hostels, shops and buildings around the college of education in ONELGA are owned by Ndigbo from the south east. At the moment, they are still developing the area.
This your thread has not achieved anything.

afam4eva: I did not insult one-naira oo. Are you mistaking me for Chinenye? Why should i insult him when he is one of us.

Sorry, I didn't say you insulted him. It was Chinenye who insulted us.

@Afam, that Odenigbo called One_naira has never insulted any of us before and it is not fair for anyone to insult him here. An insult to him is an insult to us all. Am not happy.

@Pleep, there is a lot of confusion about Oduduwa, some claim he fell from the sky, others said he came from Bini, while a tiny few recetly claim he came from Egypt/Arabia axis. What do we believe?.

ChinenyeN: Don't play dumb. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, and it's certainly not an insult. You're Delta state, so you're technically not Igbo. Someone else like me for example, who by design is Abia state, is technically Igbo. That's simply the way things are. So it shouldn't come as such a surprise to you that your family apparently has land in places where Igbo supposedly "can't".

You again. I thought you have stopped all this your useless assertions. Oh my God, what has made you to go back to those your days of retarded posts?.
Did you sleep well last night, or what part of your body is in pains?
Above all, why are you insulting one naira and his fellow proud deltans of Igbo origin?.
Don't go there.

If this is a reality, then it should be sited in Ibadan. Ibadan is the the heart of Yorubaland and it will be near to every south westerner.
About MKO, MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY that UNILAG was named after him.
So restore the name UNILAG and let the new uni be called MKO Abiola university, Ibadan.

^^^
Nice to realise that Ezeagu is back. It's been long. Nwannemadu, Udo odikwa?.

May be this uni should be called M. K. Abiola university.
Where is the uni going to be located?.

Umu chara acha.
