Ikengawo: British creations from top to bottom. The britsh created them based of course on the reality on the ground. Yes there were groups of people that spoke the same language and it's thus easy to name them after that language and have them except it as an identity, but it is known by every reputable scholar that the british created Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Bini etc as concrete identities of 'different people' that had these 'walls' around their tribe that made them all family.


As much as we say the britian 'brought us together', to a great extent the level of togetherness prior to colonialism was also shattered. We traded one form of togetherness for another and the terms of an 'ethnic' union.


Before the british there was no 'yoruba'. There way Oyo, Ekiti, Ijebu etc etc and they were trying to kill each other. the Bini people who are linguistically and to a great extent nothing like the yoruba were ruled willing by a yoruba king. the bini founded igbo cities like Onitcha and 'niger delta' cities and groups as well ('niger delta' is the newest 'family' we've created out of thin air).

There are tribes that speak igbo but aren't igbo. tribes that don't speak igbo but are igbo. Igbo tribes with more in common with efiks and ijaws than other igbos. As it stands, nothing but colonialism makes an anambran and an abia 'one'.

Before colonialism Jaja, and igbo man could raise the ranks in Ijaw man an become a king as he did. Efiks and Ibibios and Igbos were in the same cultural fertrnities and shared the same written language.

The same goes for yorubas. Iilorin has a Fulani head, and has more in common with the people in that area (nupe etc) than the people on Ondo.



The north is the most striking example of this. What is Hausa/Fulani? Hausa is simply a language. It became a lingua franca and due to heavy trade a dominate culture in the region and now I'm willing to say almost half of the people who speak hausa aren't 'ethnically' hausa, including the Fulani.

and what do the city Fulani have in common with the rural ones? Culture, lifestyle, religion, language even look, they're in two different worlds that seldom cross paths.

The Ijaw are the worst. exactly what is an Ijaw? They even speak different languages among each other and will openly tell you they have nothing to do with each other. It's only the oil struggle that have brought about a stronger identity for them as biafra did for igbos.





I do understand that there are a people you can call 'igbo' because they speak 'igbo', and people that call themselves 'yoruba' because they speak yoruba, but it didn't mean a single thing to these people until they were told that's who they are. Sure it made sense once the combination happen but consider this example.


Nigerians call whites Oyibo. All whites are Oyibo. Hispanics, Asians, Arabs, Europeans, all Oyibo. What if Nigerians would have colonized the world and told "oyibo" people that they were Oyibos. Suddenly it would exist as an ethnic group. After all you can say they all have the same color of skin, and similar hair texture so it has to mean something right? This is exactly what happened in Nigeria.

Yoruba isn't even a Yoruba word. Fulani is an Hausa word. We need to stop being so simplistic in our understanding of ourselves.

I speak for most of us when i say,shut the fucck up

I-am-Winner:
uhm.. No vex oh but this is a Fake News!

We all know it's fake. It's just another government scam.

Smooyis: Is it really that Nigeria is broke and we do not have enough money to invest in our educational sector, or is it sheer apathy on the side of the government to the plight of University students and their lecturers, going by the decay in the sector? Relationships are built on trust. ASUU seems to be saying. Once beaten, twice shy.

Can you not see, why are Nigerians so blinded of course there's enough money deal with this situation,a country as rich as Nigeria could definitely sort this out in no time, the government which if you and many other Nigerians take your time to look at are not stupid at all, they know there future of robbing will COME TO AND END, if they try to educate the country.

Nigeria has one of the highest positions on the Gini index. Meaning there is a huge gap between the rich and poor and that's all due to educational system. The Nigerian government is currently winning.

ochilikoko: what on earth is d problem of this old men? Do they think that d whole Money can be paid in a day? Nawa 4 Naija ooo

They have no problem, what is yours.

Sagamite: What a dumbfuck you are!

That is "thinking" in your moronic world.

What force is Nigeria?

Force for corruption and chaos?

There is no need to abuse the mislead guy.

A 14-year-old pupil, Divine Toruemi, has been rewarded with N1m for rescuing a boy during a boat accident in Mgboudohia waterfront, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Also, Mohammed Kenubu, who rescued a baby in a bomb blast in Kano, received N750,000; while David Adekunle, who cannily got the police to arrest some armed robbers, got N500, 000.

The trio earned the Indomie Independence Day Heroes Awards for 2013 at an event organised by Dufil Prima Foods Plc in Lagos.

They were among the 14 children earlier selected for performing bravery act by the organisers.

Toruemi, a Senior Secondary School II pupil of Foundation Group of Schools, Port Harcourt, said her recognition by the firm would spur her to serve humanity better.

The youngster, who said she did not expect any reward for her act, pledged to always go the extra mile in assisting people.

She said, “We were travelling in a boat on Mgboudohia waterfront that day when the boat capsized. Those of us who could swim maneuvered and luckily, we found ourselves at the bank of the river. From that point, I saw a boy who was still floating and struggling to swim.

“I felt pity and decided to risk my life to return to the water to rescue him. Others that escaped did not bother to do anything. But thank God, I brought the drowning boy out of the river successfully and he did not die. At the end, 49 people died in the accident.

“If I had not done what I did by saving the drowning boy, I probably wouldn’t be here for this award. My message to children out there is to help save lives whenever they can. I’d like to say a big thank you to Dufil Prima Foods for the cash prize, which will be very helpful to me and my family.”

For Kenubu, who picked a baby in a blast in Kano, it was mere instinct that propelled him to accomplish the feat.

He said, “I was going and I just heard the sound of a blast. Everybody started running and I ran too. As I was running, I decided to look back and I saw a woman with her baby beside her.

“People were jumping over the mother and baby, but my mind told me to go and pick the baby. I later ran back to pick the baby and took him home. When I got home, my mother was shocked and furious at me. She asked me to return the baby to where I found it, but I begged her to let us save the baby’s life.

“She agreed, reluctantly. The second day after the blast, we decided to go back to the garage to see if the mother was alive or looking for her baby. We met those in the garage and they told us that the mother had been crying around looking for her baby and when we found the mother, we gave her the baby.”

Eight-year-old Adekunle of Galaxy International School, Minna, Niger State, who got robbers arrested through his intelligent, careful and good judgment, said he took the decision because he hated stealing.

He said, “I was washing plates in the kitchen that day when three robbers came into our house. They went into our bedroom and took my daddy’s laptops and other electronics.

“They never knew I saw them. Immediately they went down, I followed and started tracking them. Luckily, I saw a neighbour of mine who rides motorcycle. I stopped him and explained what happened. I told him I wanted to know where the robbers were going to.

“The robbers at a point suspected that I was tracking them, but each time they did, I pretended as if I was playing. I later found out where they were going to and went to my dad’s office to explain everything to him. My dad and I reported to the police station and the robbers were arrested.”

The winners, who were tagged ‘Heroes”, thanked the firm for the money given to them.

Justifying the awards, the Chairman, Dufil Prima Foods, Mr. Haresh Aswani, said the gesture was meant to identify and reward children whose heroic acts touched lives.

He added, “This event is significant because it is rooted in the recognition of those whose best efforts are very often overlooked by the society. On a daily basis, our beloved Nigerian children perform thousands of heroic acts at great personal risk.

“In 2008, we decided to take up the challenge by not only recognising these young heroes, but also providing them scholarship opportunities since their actions have touched lives in their immediate communities and beyond.”

The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Deepak Singhal, in a documentary tagged ‘IIDA: The Journey So Far’, promised that the company would always celebrate children who serve as change agents in their communities.

Human rights activist, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, who spoke on “Children as Agents of National Transformation”, lamented the dearth of moral standards in the country.

She said, “The future of every nation is dependent on the youth, many of whom are children. Hence, it is pertinent for a nation that wants to grow to make conscious efforts to provide a better future for them, as the nation’s destiny lies in their hands.

“Initiatives such as the Independence Day Awards were necessary, since they gave children the hope of a brighter tomorrow. Dufil Prima Foods Plc is rekindling the hope of the Nigerian child with this enviable initiative, which rewards unique acts of bravery and heroism among our children, thereby inspiring them to aspire to greater heights.”

What's the point, when we all know the boys parents are going to embezzle the money.

Solomonadejo: BUHARI IS THE ONLY NIGERIAN LEADER FROM GOWON'S REGIME WHO NEVER TOUCHED THE PRICE OF FUEL.
NOTE: YAR'ADUA WAS THE ONLY LEADER WHO DID NOT INCREASE BUT RATHER, HE REDUCED THE PRICE OF PETROL FROM N70 to N65.

What is your problem,have never heard of global consumption.

Fossil fuels is running OUT very quickly meaning prices are meant to rise with IT quickly.If not for Obasanjo and his intimidating ways Nigerians will be buying oil at around 250 naira. OBJ made it very clear to the IMF when he was in France,and I was there at the conference spectating the issues as an economist in training.

seedord247: happy birthday in advance to suffering and smiling Nation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

norigams: Who care's anyhow . 2me the dude is good but PDP factor dey him body

What makes you say that.

petrov 10: President Goodluck jonathan , u have my vote already siiire [b][/b]

why?

Goddex: OP is obviously one of the haters and does not need anyone to convince him. He can go to hell since he pretends not to notice the huge improvement in our roads, our airports, the railways, steady progress in power sector, stable economy, low inflation rate, agricural boom. Even with last year's devastating flood food is still in abundance. Since when did he see queues at our filling station? Our federal capital territory is sparkling and receiving utmost attention.

what improvements,you are all talk.

Is everything you just wrote some sort of a joke,or sarcasm.

No please expand,show me some of what you are talking about.

FACT:there is not one good or quality single road in Nigeria.

fagbalex: i don't know a fool and retarded individual like you still on earth. why can't you adhere strictly to the person question rather than going outskirts to directly or indirectly insult the person. you need to enhance your manner articulation.

Abi o

GooseBaba: LMAO..!!!! Guy you still continue to showcase your madness...."experience British born and raised economist'" " who can TALK muitple language...village He-goat with your write up you are clearly not educated.

Next time Compare Apples to apples...not apples to plantain. You are still a demented fella my book...

There is no point arguing with an illiterate,it will take forever to explain simply things for your arrogant head to understand correctly.

ujoinme: @ anulaxad there is no point resorting to name calling in a public forum as that takes away from your integrity. Its simple you made and assertion on the world class infrastructures you found in somalia all you need to do is say what the infrastructure is and cite your source to back up your claim. just like i did with the dry cleaning service so anyone can check it out.
that will rest the case.!!!!!

I did not take take pictures.but i AM 100 PERCENT SURE YOU WILL FIND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT,if you want to google it.

ujoinme: ok then why don't you elaborate on the world class infrastructure in a country that just celebrated a 'First drycleaning service" in 20 yrs? i havent been i mogadishu and apparently you have so am interested in hearing from you what infrastructures you saw there.

MR.MAN,i did not say the whole country,i said a certain part of the country. OK.

It was a fully developed small seaside town,which there was a very maintained drycleaners,with the most beautifullest roads,and you can tell this people were not abandoned illiterates like that MR.BABA guy.Somalia in general was ruled by the italians first,but then the british took over,
so after that you and i would think there will be no more italian influence anymore,but most of these somalis can not only talk somali,arabic and english but also italian. I would like to finish and continue but i am really busy.

GooseBaba: Calm down...! Evidence ^^^^^You type like an imbe..cile. That's your proof.

As a village he-goat you made a claim and ask another person to bring proof. Guy logical reasoning is my proof.

When I talked about "first class infrastructure & sustainability" the paradigm of that statement covers transportation air, sea and land. Food supply, healthcare, schools etc, and the means to sustain it. However, With the rot in Nigeria I said "na small small" it will not happen overnight.

I never knew a MO--RON would use the word "first class infrastructure" of a country and narrow it down to marble side walk and brick road to a strip of land that is probably built for the elites of that society.

I do commend your courage to exhibit your daftness and arrant stupidity on a public forum. Besides, You need to stop drinking warm goat pi..ss because it sends the wrong shock waves to your brain. You demented economist..!!!!

You this,ungrateful bast ard of a village born illiterate of a mother,when did i say the whole somalia was developed, i have kept and kept on repeating myself that i was specifically talking about a seaside front,but your arrogant little spectacle you call a brain won't let you process anything i am saying,you just keep on insisting that i am talking about the whole country,

Yes i am a experienced british born and raised economist,who can talk multiple languages,what has your sorry useless,worthless soul have to say that they have achieved or to be proud of in your dreadful existence of living.

now tell me whos silly or ignorant!

I ALREADY IDENTIFIED THIS.

GooseBaba: Remember you wrote this nonsense. Now you claim you did not compare.

Have you been to all states in Nigeria..!? If you are not ignorant how can you conclude that improvement in Mogadishu's sea side is first class and nothing of such standard exist in Nigeria. Your ignorance carries the stench of a rotten corpse.

Is that your case just because i forget i compared,it shows you are immoral deluded ,if you had finished reading my paragraph you would have saw that i compared Nigeria to Somalia again in the same way.


Now if your ignorant,stinking illterate f....ing unwiped arse,of an unawnated disabled adhd child,wants to actually prove something get me some proof.

Now if your ignorant,stinking illterate f....ing unwiped arse,of an unawnated disabled hasbo child,wants to auctually prove something get me some proof

ujoinme: I listen on BBC yesterday about the first dry cleaning service provider that opened his shop i mogadishu. is that the same mogadishu that has world class infrastructures?

You will not be silly enough to believe that will you,do remember europeans ruled them aswell years ago, i am pretty sure that information is wrong.

Please show me the article,if you feel i am being too ignorant.

I actually did some research,and its the first drycleaners to have been opened in two decades.,not partially the first in the whole of somalia's history.

WOAH!!!,what's with the unnecessary insults,i have done absolutely nothing wrong,wait

GooseBaba: LMAO....!! You be heavy Mumu....! So one strip of land in Somalia with marble sidewalk and brick road equals first class infrastructure for the whole country. If you like, you write in caps your stupidity still shows.

By your shallow example, Somalia has some sort of first class infrastructure and in Nigeria nothing equates that..!? And to show how stupid you are, you foolishly used the word "develop" Guy you are daft..! Take it or leave it..

I will repeat myself,you stink of illiteracy,did i say the whole the country was developed,wait what made you think i was comparing,infact even if i was there is not at all any first class infrastructure in Nigeria,the whole seaside border is fully developed in mogadishu. Wait it seems like i am dealing with a ignorant c..t,what does your develop mean,because my own one just simply means to improve.Please i want to know.

GooseBaba: Now you have to elaborate on your stu..pidity. From first class infrastructure in Somalia to this rubbish. Guy waka...!

Firstly you need to correct your grammar.But I will also advise you to go to school again,you stink of illiteracy.

NOW IF YOU CANNOT READ I WILL EXPLAIN WHAT I SAID.I SAID SOMALIA HAS DEVELOPED AT LEAST SOME SORT OF WORLD CLASS INFRASTRUCTURE,EXAMPLE:IN THE SEAFRONT OF MOGADISHU THERE PAVEMENTS ARE MADE OF MARBLE AND THERE ROADS OF BRICKS.

IF YOU CAN AFFORD A TRIP THERE YOU CAN ALSO CHECK IT OUT YOURSELF.


ACCEPT CORRECTION OR YOU WILL NOT MOVE ON.

mandarin: One of the indices ,for measuring economic performance is energy consumption,Ibadan is the next after Lagos in Nigeria.Its that a surprise? well I do not base discussions on assumptions but economics. Thanks for your comment though.

You know i can talk fluent chinese.
I had just became an economist,when i was sent to my first oversea assignment,and it was China,of course i had only a month to learn mandarin before i was sent off and yes i did it.This was 5 years ago.

GooseBaba: People just dey yarn anyhow. Have you been to Somalia..?? Besides, the rot in Nigeria did not start over night. Therefore, you can't have positive growth overnight. Na small small. You forget that first class infrastructure demands first class sustainability.

Look at yourself,yes i have been to somalia,you very senseless, i mean every single country that i have been no matter how poor or rich has developed some sort of first class infrastructure except nigeria even somalia(mogadishu),and wait do you even know what sustainability means,do not use long grammar if you have no idea what you are saying,it means when you maintain or redevelop something to make it have a higher life span or better energy efficiency.

Look at what people are praising,a country that has enough money to have 1st class infrastructure,not even in somalia will this be classified as first classed.
