This did not happen overnight. We Ndigbo in the U.K fought for the inclusion and recognition. Thanks to the Umuigbo Katolik community in the U.K as well as Igbo Cultural Support Network (ICSN) for achieving this feat.

Every hospital trust in England and Wales has policies which all employersa nd employee abides by it. Before one takes up an appointment, you are given a form written in small alphabets to sign. You have to be careful before you sign because once that is done, you have consented to abide by the trust policy. In this case, this woman 's case a lost one.
In the words, nurses may not wear trousers but in the operating theatres, it is different. For every operating area, it is scrubs top and buttom, cap of different colours and sizes, protective shoes or theatre shoes, a mask may be required of everyone and an eyeshield for some certain procedures.
Take it or leave it before you take up your employment letter.

@The poster--It's high time you stop starting threads of this sort that results in ethnic bashings. Boy stop this nonsense.
@The mods, threads of this sort always results in ethnic bashings. Why not destroy it upon arrival, or do you enjoy all this Yoruba bashing of Ndigbo all the time?.

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion. If this is your opinion and pple around me say go ahead and call whatever, is it my fault? You guys should organise a worldwide conference and address this. Until then, we will pick words from your mouths.

It is only someone who is ill that needs a physician.
We are Igbo people. When the missionaries and colonialists were around, we corrected them and told them that we are Igbo but it suits them more to write Ibo. Now they have gone, it is only those who want to insult us that continues to spell Ibo. It is also an insult to spell Yoruba. Let us respect one another. We are Igbo.

Mike Okiro from Rivers state is in the regime of Rochas Okorocha in Imo state.

oludashmi:
To be frank. . . .
Some pple say the pple are igbo while the language is ibo
Some former school colleagues said igbo or ibo depends on where you are from
An Agbor lady recently said to me that the abia, anambra, enugu, ebonyi and imo (SE states), are igbo while the Aros are ibos. But the Kwales and Ogwuachuwku said they are neither ibo nor igbos.

So, cos I cant ask someone for his state before addressing him, I just call any that comes to my mind .

You have said this piece of rubbish before and we corrected you. Mind you, there is no place called Ogwuachuwku in Igboland but Ogwashi Ukwu. Tell your confused friends that Ogwashi Ukwu is the home town of Amb Ralph Uwechue-President gen of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo (the top most position in Igboland). It is also the home town of NGOZI Okonjo now Iwuala and Jay-Jay Okocha. They are all proud Igbo people. While Kwale is the home town of Sunday Oliseh, the captain accused of running Igbo mafia in Super Eagles. Sunday Oliseh's mother in Lagos is one of the leaders of Ohanaeze women's wing in Lagos. Kwale is also the home town of Hon Oputa- one of the founding fathers of Igbo state union now Ohanaeze.
From your post, I can understand that you hang out with illiterates and those who do not know their left from their right. It is Igbo and the language is Igbo. The plural of an Igbo is Ndigbo. For the third time, understand this simple logic.

See your ignorance in public Andre Uweh.

Mind you, Yoruba is a major tribe in Benin Republic. They will tell you they are Yoruba, I communicate and negotiate goods in Yoruba anytime I go there. Yoruba is one of the 4 major tribes in Benin. The separation was as a result of the Berlin conference of 1895. When Africa was scrambled over and divided with a ruler on a straight line without regards for their cultural similarities.

Meanwhile, this thread is not about competition of where one tribe in Nigeria or the other is found. So keep your ibo and hausa info for another thread.

Poor girl, this thread is: Who are the Yoruba in Benin republic?. Deal with it and spare us your long sermon. My post was in response to what the poster before me posted. It is an outright stupidity to quote me without understanding the circumstance that led to my post.

Very interesting.

Hahaha, commitee of bigots. Yoruba threads r always boring. Open an igbo thread nw n see comments n view. If nobody talk about you then U̶̲̥̅̊ r nobody. Mind U̶̲̥̅̊ guys. There is no yoruba in benin rep. Alj boko haram n co stop spreadin false news. Yoruba ke benin rep ni. Mshewww

There is Yoruba in Benin but they are small. It is about the size of two local govt areas in Ogun state. The three major ethnic groups are found outside Nigeria. For example, Yoruba in Benin, Igbo in Equatorial Guinea and Hausa in Niger republic.

kindla:
Inferiority Complex because she fears that she might not be able to prove her igboness before other igbo due to her lack of knowledge of her history hence the easy escape route of claiming to be a different igbo or non-igbo to cover up her lack. If you say you are not igbo, then give us the historical antecedent rather than bandy ordinary words not based on history.

Well said.

Ebi, the pride of Okonko, it's accompanied with a special music called Oso-nkwa.

Ebi-the grand mmanwu of Okonko, culture of the Isinweke people of Ihitte-Uboma, Etiti, Imo state.

Isinweke, Ihitte-Uboma LGA, Etiti, Imo state. Our culture must not die.

We are a people with culture. Long live Isinweke and Igbo culture.

Since when has Bini bronze heads become Yoruba bronze heads?.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=721452.msg8801842#msg8801842 date=1311784818]First of all, OPC is not militant. Its a progressive group for the defense of Yorubaland.

Their action that yu described is inaccurate. Here is what happened.

You see Yoruba peple, we always warn before we strike. Or let me say, we used to warn before a strike at the opponent; not anymore!

Several times the Northereners tresspased beyond their boundaries. They were warned repeatedly. When our noble OPC struck, it was against the Hausas/Fulanis but you see the Igbos never witnessed or known Yorubas to be insane, . . .the bloodshed they saw shook their apirit and even though they were not under attack, they took to their heels and left town and went East. You can imagine if they were the target, I wonder where they would go.
So OPC is not like MEND, MASSOB, BOKO and all those amnestied terrorists out there. You hear my friend?[/quote]Has Massob ever been violent?.

@the O.P.
Some Ilorin people are Yorubas while others are not.
Final word.

I lived in Yorubaland and have been to almost all parts of Yorubaland. I was in Ibadan last year's April and till date my relatives resides there. While you have never been to the east before.

On this day, the most important position in Igboland is held by Amb Ralph Uwechue.

Ézè Ǹrì usually doesn't come out for anything, he's the most important man in Igboland, most people don't know this. Can this museum be a mini Mecca for Igbo in the United States?

Not true.

Interesting.
