TewMuch:i thought you are for disintergration ? |
Ola edo:when you travel to the north to do something and you get caught up the any mayhem ask this question again. |
Ola edo:well most often than not |
Ola edo:hehe guy your blood hot o.however i have come across a number of them they say they prefer up north because competition for business and life in general is lesser there and food is cheaper.for igbos there there is a population issue down south. |
[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=578229.msg7455431#msg7455431 date=1294088340]What occupations are the yorubas and igbos generally involved in up north?[/quote]trading,taxi running,hotel and hospitality businesses,building materials,spare sparts businesses |
Ola edo:bros i hope you know most of them do not have homes in the south inlcuding the yoruba and other southerners. |
[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=578229.msg7455352#msg7455352 date=1294087465]tell them to move back south. ![]() 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'. |
[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=578229.msg7455303#msg7455303 date=1294086999]"Customs and politics in urban Africa: A study of Hausa migrants in Yoruba towns" by abner cohen. 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 ![]() 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 )[/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 |
ROSSIKE:you dey yarn cigar |
[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. Happy New Year, and as Eze Ndiigbo Gburugburu would say, Good Morning.[/quote]i am sure jos bombings are mend too abi? mehn you got jokes |
he should be recuperating from his fainting episode |
Limaoscar:guy there is nothing to moern here unless you are ready to be mourning everymonth till election date as this kind of attacks will not abate till then. |
jumobi1:i wonder what will happen if by any chance atiku and the other northern corhots oust jonathan from vying for the presidency.will the ijaws let it slide? |
well na so life be for naija.i have seen so many quick and disastrous death around me that i do not feel any emotion for death any longer. |
[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=576482.msg7441959#msg7441959 date=1293832350]Is there a reason why some Igbos on NL love Yoruba IDs? A thing to feel amongst abi kini? [/quote]you think ola edo is a yoruba word? ![]() |

ChinenyeN: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 |
ChinenyeN: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. |
DapoBear:There has to be major upheaval in the country for the bolded to happen |
ode remo: |
Do we really value made in nigeria goods? |
DapoBear: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. |
Bidemi and sagamite i think the issue is not exposing fifa's corruption per say but the timing of when they did it since they were bidding for the world cup.If england was not bidding then no issue but expecting the same people you are accusing or exposing for corruption to vote for you?i do not think so. |
dayokanu:What was the average temperature during mexico 70 and 86? |
Andre Uweh:Enjoy your nonsense debate |
Andre Uweh:i do not care what obi or eze said.enough of this posting of ohaneze did this or youth group did that.how is it going to change the average man's vote on the street?same old round and roung debates.how many other ethnic groups do you see endoresment this endorement that.chineke ekwela njo. |
