Kobojunkie, I live at the heart of Ikorodu. The Ikorodu people see themselves as Ijebu. I have never met an Ikorodu man that says he has Awori roots.

Although I strongly advocate for merging of states, because the current arrangements will lead to disaster in the long run. That is when oil dries out or the price of oil crashes for a sustained period. The reason why there is so much inter tribal and intra tribal conflicts is because of the "rent" economy we are currently operating. If each town, state or region has to fend for itself and compete (in a healthy manner) with other towns states or regions, then they would see the wisdom and strength in merging units with close relationships to each other.

I am surprised some Ogun State indegines are too proud to consider joining with lagos, because the present Ogun state economy is heavily tied to the economy of lagos. Also most Ijebus has very strong ties with lagos, whether economic or social. In fact i can say that a considerable number of people calling themselves Lagos indigenes today have their roots in Ogun state.

If you mean dying to break Nigeria up, i would gladly do it. But me dying for this dump as it is presently constituted ? I'd rather be caught in bed with the queen of Saudi Arabia.

i guess o gi ni is yoruba while oghi ni is igbo.

ChinenyeN:
Okay, so we've both been observing the same thing. I guess it means we're more or less on the same page.

ChinenyeN:
No paranoia. No funny ideas. I simply just don't care enough for that. I just like observing and making my side comments and preferential statements, and people make too much of them. Anyway, this initiative took too long to come about. The Igbo in general don't seem to care enough, and finally deciding to wake up now isn't worth me clapping. Can and will this initiative be maintained? Can and will Igbo be made relevant again? Are my only questions.

ChinenyeN:
Oh well. It is what it is.
Of course, they can by all means decide to do that. I have no problem with it, so long as they stay in their domain. As for the other Igbo states, I don't know what their issue is, and that's why I said that this could give them the incentive necessary, at least to preserve their own respective lects.

ChinenyeN:
It's just the way they behave as a group. I can't remember coming across many non-Anambra based person/group who shows as much "Igbo initiative" as Anambra people, in general. Most non-Anambra based people/groups I've come in contact with seem typically concerned with their own. Then there's the aspect of them speaking as if they're the 'Voice of Igbo'. . . It just makes me wonder sometimes about their mentality. . . maybe they feel they're special. . *shrug*

ChinenyeN:
Well, I don't know of any groups or people that don't want to preserve their lects. So I'm thinking that this may give some lazy/unwilling parents an incentive. I'm curious about how they plan on applying this to the diaspora though. . .

Anyway, it could only be Anambra people that would attempt something this large scale. . makes me wonder sometimes. . . .

@Andre,

I have to result to this because some people surfs the internet only to dig out the negatives about my tribe. Trying to point out their lies will not work since already they have found us guilty of any accusation contained in the shtye they are banding around.

Am not ready to engage them, but to insult them to submission.

ChinenyeN:
Hmph. . . are they just now waking up? Anyway, this is all school Igbo, so meh. . . maybe it'll make parents wake up once they start seeing their kids speaking something other than their lects. Anyway, I won't clap for this until I see reasonable results.

He also gave cash donations and scholarships (university) to the two best Igbo students in the West African School Certificate Examinations, WASCE – Mr. Kevin Anozie of Holy Child Secondary School, Isuofia and Mr. Chika Echeta of Bishop Onyemelukwe Secondary School Onitsha.

The governor also, during the ceremony, signed into law, a Bill to Enforce the Speaking and Writing of Igbo and Widespread Usage of Igbo Language among Ndigbo in Anambra and Diaspora.
He explained that the law would be enforced and announced the stoppage of giving corporal punishment to students, who speak Igbo in schools in the state.

Cohomology:
Can someone get the identity of that bi.tch and put it up?

How can they reveal the name of the defendant and leave out the name of the victim liar?

May God punish all the bi.tches who lie about ra.pe just to punish a man.

If I ever become a judge (happy to be an engineer, thanks), all ra.pe cases must be proven beyond reasonable doubt. No conviction without hard evidence; crying in my court alone to attract sympathy will never send any man to jail. Never! Also, any bi.tch found to have lied WILL be prosecuted for perjury and jailed! F$@king bi.tches!

20k hausas in ngwaland?. Fuc.k.ng lie.
I was in Aba in yr 2000 when the massacre of hausas took place but for my driver who saved me I could have been killed even though am a Yoruba guy. They later came to my house at night and wanted to finish me and my younger brother but my security guy stood against them late into the night.
The following day I told my coy I wanted a transfer after what happened, my MD approved immediately and I came back to lagos.

ngwas killed almost all the hausas then and where this dude got his number from, i don't know.

[size=14pt]Who was the man who called for the colonialist to come back and rule Imo State back in 1983, the crying Governor his honourable Sam Ibakwe. The man has more sense than some of u Igbo’s who are not ready to smell the coffee.

The man knows that the Igbo’s lack the tact, patience and decorum needed to govern, the reason being that the Igbo’s inherent believe that everyman na oga in his or her own right, such thinking does not auger well for development, it is an anti-establishment stance no wonder authorities in the East are treated with disdain and with kid gloves, the moment the Igbo’s learn to subdue themselves to authority that day they would see the light.

50 Candidates (are they really Candidates, bandits would be a more correct description of these desperadoes) for one Governorship post, I don’t think any state would ever break that record.

OBJ has never being a Governor and cannot be mentioned in tandem with these low lifers who call themselves Governors.[/size]

[size=14pt]Akala might be ineffective but not brutal, I don’t believe he is not performing, he is performing to the best of his abilities (his abilities might not be = to minimum standard but he never pretended to punch above his weight) what do u expect from sacked semi -illetrate Police Officer

Fayose was bullied out of office by OBJ hence his anger and aggrieved attitude. I would not blame him, if na u nko, u go, go quietly like a mugu without fighting, the man is fighting for his right and his stolen mandate.[/size]

How is this going to help Ghana?. Methinks competition is healthy and these companies are paying their taxes.

Very bad move by the ghanaian government. Their economy will soon self destruct.

All those businesses leaving can come and invest in lagos and other states in nigeria.

Giving plots of land means to dash/gift/free. These lands belong to poor people who were forcefully evicted in the name of the "Abuja masterplan". These gifted lands run any where from tens of millions of naira to millions of dollars and many of these thieves have got them all over the place. Even El-Rufai did the same thing though to lesser degree. I don't know why abuja has to have a minister, that position should be democratically contested for.
