Beaf:
Why would you spell Yoruba as Yoruba? I'm getting really tired of these things on NL.

My brother, am also tired of people spelling Ibo instead of IGBO.

To work alongside mates to establish an Igbo library in London.
So help me God.

^^^^ you people should give it a rest really.

Ojukwu is a hero to some people and as such we should have the decency enough to keep shut if we don't have anything better to say about ojukwu.

we really should join hands are reduce bigotry on NL.[/quote]Alh Uche my brother, it shall be well with you. Happy new year. Onlytruth starts work from 2nd Jan, please report to him any part that annoys you about Ndigbo online. Please do not fight any of them.

Aigbofa:
All of a sudden, you all have Yoruba friends who never spoke ill of Ojukwu, lucky you. How I wish I had an ibo friend who never spoke ill of Awolowo!
This Yoruba love wan tin tin na wah o.
What is going on? Is there something I'm missing?

Aigbofa, you are a goodman. No need to fight. This is an attempt to pay a last respect to a fallen Nigerian hero. In the fast approaching 2011, there should be no quarrels between Igbo and Yoruba. If you notice any Yoruba making trouble, tell him off. If any Igbo upsets you, politely report him to Onlytruth from Jan 2nd.
The late Ikemba never hated Yorubas and there is no need for any Yoruba not to wish him well even in death.
To all the Yorubas, Ndigbo, Itsekiris, Eguns, Urhobos, Tivs, Hausas, Kanuris, Ogonis, Efiks, Nupes etc, happy new year in advance.

N_Oviedo, this your epistle is too long and boring. You are a very partial observer. It seems you are too blind not to read what Ogbuefi1- an Ika son has been writing. You only read Agbontaen's because it pleases your bigoted mindset.
You mentioned Owa, yet you were too blind to read the part where the Obi of Owa claimed that they came from Nri.
I can't believe it took you so long to know that Edos are not Yorubas, yet you are Edo. You are a disgrace to the Edo community you come from. There is nothing at all that will suggest to any Edoman that he is Yoruba. I feel ashamed of you. Even the Edos born in far away land as in the U.K know whom they are.
Why do you have to come here to tell Ndigbo to leave Ikas alone without you warning Agbontaen to leave Ikas who are proud Igbo alone.
I think this is the last rubbish i will read this year in Nairaland. I don't know why people can be so biased and pathetic. It's a pity.

true only on cyber cafe

One Yoruba friend of mine has a photograph of Ojukwu as his lappy screensaver. Some Yoruba chaps who talk ill of Ojukwu in nairaland I suppose, are the school drop-outs.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=836245.msg9871730#msg9871730 date=1325359892]Andre, you owe Yoruba people kolanuts for peace.[/quote]I have always had good relationship with the Yorubas. My senior secondary education up till uni was in Yorubaland.
Come this January, I will be attending a wedding of a very good friend of mine and a Yoruba boy. Venue is all saints church Old Bodija Ibadan North.
Most Yorubas I know do not speak ill of Ojukwu.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=836245.msg9871634#msg9871634 date=1325358834]Yeah Andre I join you in wishing him a restful death but how crazy an idea that umuigbo choose my birthday to put him in ground. Sink him into his grave now. Whats the wait for? This is pathetic!! [/quote]Negro stop it please, you are not known for this sort of stupidity. I know those who acts as such. Or do you want to join them?. Stop it, you are more than that.

I look forward to attending the burial on 3rd Feb. Ikemba, May your Soul rest in peace.
I wish to use this medium to thank Umuigbo Katholic Community, U.K for all those visits and prayers for Ikemba at Reading, Berkshire.
Thanks also to the stroke consultants who worked round the clock treating Ikemba. To the Philippino nurses and other nurses, domestic staff at that Unit, God bless you all.

@The poster, we went through this last week. The thread still exist. Search for it.

cogitoErgo:
there is clearly not going to be a religious war in Nigeria but there may clearly be a civil war of everybody against hausa/fulanis (and they are mostly, if not all Muslims) I am in Osun State and on the OSBC, there is this cartoon of the Governor (a devoted Muslim), dressed in father christmass atire and dancing a funny dance! Could this happen in Kano, Sokoto or Bauchi? definitly no!

It is true. I like the Yorubas for this.

stagger:
There is no reason why Nigerians should not be speaking at least three ethnic languages; the language of their ethnicity, one of the major languages and another of their choice.

Thankfully, I can speak at least 2 and if I complete my mastery of Hausanchi, that would make it 3.

Good.

Chiori:
I speak Igbo and Efik fluently. Plus my impeccable English, and very good French.

Good.

wesley80:
^^^ Now that we've arrived where you wanted us to i'm sure you must now be proud of yourself arent you? So like you to bask in the sick glory of an opportunity to demonstrate your vile grammatical dexterity. Shame shame shame!!!

No Wesley, he has been trying to write other peoples' history with falsehood. The way he writes doesn't demonstrate that he is as educated as most Ukwuan's I have come across. Please reread the junk the guy has been posting and offer him some useful tips on how to write.
Even in an era when an Anioma son holds the top most position in Igboland today (Uwechue), yet the chap claims that there are no Igbo in Delta state. Am not sure the chap is informed at all. He has put up a lot of junk up there that I will not like to touch.

The Idea of French is a noble idea. As Nigeria is sorrounded by french speaking countries, it is important we learn how to communicate with them.
Some years back, the ministry of education under Babs Fafunwa introduced an idea of schools in the west teach Igbo language; schools in the east teach Hausa and schools in the north teach Yoruba. But it has not been fully operational.
I know that in the west, some schools teach Igbo but it mostly Igbo kids who attend such classes. Why?.

@ toba

Silence. There is absolutely nothing wrong in voting for our candidates. The only reason we succeeded was because it was allowed, for if it wasnt we wouldnt have been able to. Maybe if there were a system like 1 vote per IP, then we mightnt, but then again, you have proxy systems. Oops.

@ Jarus
Mukbot did not catch all; she only caught the last minute votes. We gave Gbawe 50 of our votes, albeit spread out on different days. To see people congratulate him is highly and freaking entertaining. Buahahahahahahaha. Next year, we shall be more tactful and all our candidates shall win. This was just an experiment.

These are the beneficiaries of our benevolence:

Do not mess with the Corks.

I know that is the only way he could have won. Am not surprised because I saw it coming. Having seen that Onlythruth was miles apart from the others, alarm was raised and a documented result was released instead.
Too bad.
Seun really has to speak up. His silence is not helping matters. Probably next year, Officials from Ghana forum will be hired to conduct credible polls for the politics section.

Ugbogloba, you are a no brainer at all. Your post is the most laughable in this thread.
At what stage did White people create Bendel for you?. Did the white people who left in 1960 create Bendel for you?. What an idiotic reasoning from you.
At what stage did Ojukwu betray Nzeogwu?.
And when did Nzeogwu become Anioma and Ojukwu Igbo. Yet the coup was an Igbo coup.
Ugbogloba, surely, you are a disgrace to the Ukwuani people who are well travelled and educated.
I advice you to stop posting more crap here as you will be displaying further stupidity in your post. What a shame.

It is a blessing and it has helped to enrich each others' language.

Congrats Ify.
Your victory is our victory.
To the mods, there is no section that does better in explaining our ways of life than the culture section. Please we need more of our threads in the front page instead of threads that make a mockery of our first lady and other irrelevant threads up there.

Mark noted that he supports the struggle of Nsukka people for the creation of Adada State out of the present Enugu State.
http://allafrica.com/stories/201112290733.html

Mark+Chime/Ekweremadu 2015- Already oiling the machinery. I like this guy's style.

It is an outright stupidity on the part of Mark to support Adada state when Njaba and Anioma are the most viable and most qualified states to be created for Ndigbo. Adada with only 7 local govt areas compared to Njaba with 13 local govt areas. How about Anioma with 9 LGA's and been in the radar since 1951. Aba state has 9 and more viable than Adada. Adada is the least in the south east.
The most thing to happen to Ndigbo is Njaba and Anioma.

It is either he plays or Van persie plays. Henry and Van Persie plays in the same position. May be for 2 months he will be on the bench waiting for an injury to happen to Van persie.
If Wenger plays him out of position, then Henry's imput will be what you saw at Barcelona. Semi useless.

Bia Wesley, I expect Swinginton to come and tell me all this rubbish you are vomitting. If he comes here and says am wrong, I will not hesistate to apologise to him or her. Why do you take up arms against your Igbo brothers or any time any thing Igbo emerges?.
I have my own dialect just like Ukwuani yet I did not advocate for Isinweke, Nsukka, Ika or Ndoni.
If someone comes here and says he wants to learn Abiriba and he can't see anything online, I will give the same advice.
As it is now, you can help Swinginton learn Ukwuani, but if you can't and he is interested in Central Igbo, I offer to help.
