TewMuch:
This is like a chihuahua threatening a pitbull. The chihuahua will get eaten for dinner. Ijaw youth's with their all but how many population want to fight who? They forget the SE has serious beef with them over Biafra, and the North cant wait for the opportunity to do ethnic cleansing on them. They should not bite more than they can chew. Yoruba's will not get involved because they have already gone to overdo themselves by trying to bring their nonsense to the SW. Its best they either call for regionalism or find better ways to solve their issues. If they use violence, they give the big 3 opportunity to tear them apart. They will gladly wipe them out to make the oil rich area no man's land. The big 3 will remove Jonathan and they will not be able to say "pim". What is Jonathan doing about this threat to Nigeria's unity by the way? No one should be allowed to threaten Nigeria, like he warned Atiku, Ijaw Youth's should get the same treatment. cool
i thought you are for disintergration ?

when you travel to the north to do something and you get caught up the any mayhem ask this question again.

why would you want to live in a state that's trying to install sharia law and think you can get away with practicing christianity there?
especially in a country like Nigeria where the govt does nothing about it?

how do the yorubas and igbos live? Do they live in quarters or settlements or are they dispersed?
I know I do not live in the north or even in Nigeria right now so my views are not accurate but i'm sure there are people who share my perspective and i'm also trying to learn about others' too. [/quote]the bolded is the question you should have asked initially and not make assumptions.

in jos it is mixed.quaters and settlements and they also leave amongst the natives as jos is a majority christian city.nothing like sharia there.

in other sharia instituted cities of kano and others they stay in sabon gari which translates to strangers quaters.yoruba muslims also stay here as they feel safer there and morever the core mulsim northerners do not see them as 'true muslims'.

No body has to tell me, Everybody knows that the clash is mostly a Hausa/Igbo one.
even if yorubas are complaining at all, they are doing it silently
[/quote]even it is silently is it still not a complaint  huh

as for saying that it is mostly a hausa/igbo clash that was about a decade ago.in recent times yorubas have been complaing more because most igbos in the north have stockpiled weapons to fight when there is issue there especially after 2006 debacle so the attack yorubas more these days.if you think i am lying go ask any yoruba that has been staying in the north recently especially kano,jos axis.ask the yoruba mulims there where they usually seek refuge when there is a crises as they they too are not spared not minding whether they are muslims.

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=578229.msg7455185#msg7455185 date=1294085315]I won't be surprised if hausa people live in the east. They are usually always peaceful you don't even know that they live there.
Even in yorubaland, hausas live there peacefully and adjusted. despite some terrible things yorubas did to them in the past like forcing them into settlements.

igbos need to adjust to their environment. if you live in the north, you have to live differently. It's not your land so you have to know your limits. I'm sure there are also yoruba people living in the north. why aren't they complaining?

this is not saying the violence against igbo christians is acceptable. I will have to blame both sides in this case.
If I were a igbo leader, I would tell igbos to leave the north with immediate effect.
even the US when trouble occurs, they evacuate their citizens from those lands. it's very simple.[/quote]who told you that yorubas in the north are not complaining?

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=577593.msg7450304#msg7450304 date=1294003914]Sad, but true. The major problem I see is that families spent a lot of money in the 60s, 70s, 80s etc training people to do jobs that can only really be done outside of the state elsewhere in Nigeria, or better yet the US and Europe.

Sending your kid to get a masters in chemical engineering, then they aren't going to be practicing their trade in the state.

My own area of expertise is something that can be done within Ekiti, but requires good power supply and fast internet access (not the slow-@ss access we have in my village  angry )[/quote]Well they were doing it because that was(or is still) were the money is.i do not think they were training their kids to do jobs that will develop ekiti.until there is a change or mindset then i am afraid the story will still remain the same

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=577593.msg7450053#msg7450053 date=1294000782]What are you trying to say? That the villagers dont need to survive?

By the end of the day, if they still had pocket money, atleast they'd thank God. My people work hard to live, and to live, they must survive. So yea, Nigeria can take it's pocket money, and shove it where the sun dont shine.

How has any of that money helped developed Nigeria , talkless of Ekiti? Go to Ekiti state and see the state of the roads. I believe the fixation of those roads [and electricity]  [b]will [/b]begin the development of EKITI. Hoping it's left to better hands.

Ive said it over and over again, I know many many professional Ekitis in the USA, ready to help develop Ekiti state, even my family and relatives are compromised of high paying, educational professionals. But who should they trust with their funds? All Ekiti ppl talk about over here is WHEN and WHAT TO DO WHEN they go back to Ekiti. Most of us wants to go back home!!! But to what? Fcccux it, Nigeria is so shoitty!!

Sorry, not taking my vexation out on you jare  embarassed kiss[/quote]if ekiti people wherever they are cannot develop ekiti now then they can never develop it anytime in the future.the truth is that ekiti people see ekiti as a place of rest rather than a place that can be transformed to a thriving business area.

ROSSIKE:
There could also be an Ivory Coast dimension to this.

Gbagbo, fearing a military invasion to topple him, may be looking to make Nigeria refocus on internal issues by causing this mayhem. For him as president of Ivory Coast, it's a cakewalk getting some goons to plant a few bombs here and there in Naija.

It would be a masterstroke on his part because he knows the blame will fall on the likes of Atiku and other local malcontents.

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=577473.msg7442319#msg7442319 date=1293838681]I find it interesting that people are starting to point fingers at Atiku while ignoring the more credible threats from (1) General John Togo of the Niger Delta, (2) Threats from the Orkah crew , and (3) MEND at large.

They will start blaming IBB for the bombing soon and GEJ will invite MEND thugs and others to Aso rock and have a press moment to show solidarity. olodo.

ChinenyeN:
Okay, let's review Egobiambu's only post in this entire topic. . . .

I don't see anything to be overly concerned about here, unless someone is willing to point out what I'm missing.
first and foremost is it all delta igbos that are familiar with that surname.

do the ikas or ukwuani speak the same way as the asabans.

although i agree some of the aniomas have some affinity with the binis but he saying they feel more comfortable with binis depends on who you ask.most of the peopl who suffered the massacre in asaba and some parts of anioma will disagree as it is a bini monarch that pointed them as igbo.

i hope you kow the onitsha people and asaba people and ogbaru peolple speak in an almost identical way.

i guess because onitsha and ogbaru are on the geographical southeast and asaba is in anioma but seperated by a river then onitsha and ogbaru people will interpret it differently from the asabans.



even if we start looking at names chinenye do not tell me you do not know that some names are distinct to some igbo groups.when you see an igbo person answer 'ubani' and he is not from mbaise or ngwa or you here 'kalu' and the person is not from the old bende division let me know

I can't believe you all are still on this. I mean, really. . Leave the non-koi koi Igbo for themselves, a begi. Na bi force?
I said it before. These non-koi koi people are small in number and not detrimental to Igbo survival.
Not entirely correct and depends on the context.please do not ask me how until you live in nigeria for a long period of time and get some real life experiences in the country.also as much as i see andre s comments as a bit annoying you aslo have to take your own advice.you can focus on your area of interest and let him focus on his own.

1. Power supply
2. Better roads
3. Economic development, less dependence on oil revenues
4. Less powerful presidency and federal gov't, more powerful states
5. Good government in every state, less greedy politicians


This is my wishlist. Not sure how much of it will happen, if anything.

But yeah, it is depressing sometimes seeing the disparity between the development levels of other countries and that of Nigeria sad

As I said earlier, they probably have the correct #s in their possession. They just don't release them. If they have the data in their hands, then the false publicly released figures will not negatively affect national planning.
Lol, I'm not pro North, dude. What common interest do Yoruba and the North have? Zilch. If anything, I'm anti-North. But again, think about it. If you release correct population figures, then doesn't that also suggest rewriting federal allocations too? Do you think they'll be willing to give up billions of dollars without a fight? Especially as they have nothing really else to fall back on? No education, no infrastructure, no foreign investments, a land being slowly consumed by the Sahara desert?
People are at their most dangerous when they are backed into corners with no way out. I think a better approach is to slowly take away the North's power over the course of time, as is basically happening now. There is nothing wrong with achieving your objectives slowly and steadily.

BTW, like I said earlier, it is not most dangerous for my ethnic group, it is most dangerous for yours. Yours will be the one that swaps places with them in the nation's demographics, not mine. Yours is the one that has a lot of their wealth and assets in the north. Mine does not. In any case, I'm not opposed to correct figures being released. I just don't see how it benefits my group in any way, so don't see why we should extend a finger in fighting for this particular change.
So you believe the population of igbos is more than yorubas?i thought you guys think it is the other way round as many yorubas will disgree with you.
