Nnamdiojukwu: An old hag without manners,how do you intend to train your kids with this gutter language? This is a clear manifestation of a failed home,only a failed home can produced a child like this.
Yulk! Afonja head slammer is suddenly the 'dad of the year' from the best home on earth. See this local tout speaking of manner and home training. Welcome to Nairaland, the forum of jokes for the jokers.
DanseMacabre: It's straightforward. In the buildup to the 2015 presidential elections, I vociferously campaigned for Muhammadu Buhari of the APC. I did this not because I really knew him as such, but at least his antecedents were common knowledge, etched into the fabric of Nigeria's history: the then General Muhammadu Buhari was vehemently against corruption, so much so that at the height of his war against corruption he attempted to forcefully extradite Umaru Dikko from London - by trying to smuggle him back to Nigeria in a shipping crate. This deed alone cemented Buhari in my mind as a no-nonsense leader: one deed among others such as his jailing of corrupt politicians when he first took over power, and of course the stories you heard from those who were old enough about his War Against Indiscipline (WAI) campaign - for the first (and perhaps only) time in our history, Nigerians queued for buses, in front of stores, at train stations etc.
Forget that my mom tried to dissuade me from my course by using two main arguments. The first (which I recklessly shoved aside with impatience as the typical angst of a Southern Christian against a Northern Muslim attempting to put a Southern Christian out of office) was that Buhari was an unrepentant religious fundamentalist, and the second (which I'm slowly coming to believe, with the rumours of his government being hijacked by a cabal and the resultant actions speaking for themselves) was that he wasn't really the brains behind the campaign against indiscipline and corruption. That Tunde Idiagbon - Buhari's then deputy - was really the brains behind the policy.
I used this latter argument to reinforce the fact that it indeed appears that Ol' Bubu isn't the one in charge of his government. I do not choose to believe that Buhari is the one making all these horrendous, rule-of-law-defying, legislature-ignoring, anti-people, corruption-glorifying decisions that this government has sadly since become infamous for. the Buhari I know, the much touted anti-corruption messiah would at the very least have suspended Kemi Adeosun as Minister of Finance pending when she clears her name on allegations of certificate forgery. If you notice, I used this as the least example because it is least among the other weighty scandals this administration has been involved in.
To cut this story short, why I have indeed come to love Buhari is that simply, in Nigerian parlance, the guy no just send. I no know if na the ear problem wey dem say dey worry am (in which case if true, might just make this discourse futile), but the guy dey make like say him no dey hear anything wey Nigerians dey talk. His lopsided appointments o, oho! His Chief of Army Staff buy properties wey him entire pension and gratuity no fit afford o, come defend himself say na snake wey him dey sell o, oho! Him service chiefs apparently dey overwhelmed by the spate of insecurity in the country, comot them put new ones o, oho! Him Inspector General of Police deliberately flout him order to go Benue go flush killer herdsmen o, oho! Him Minister of Finance allegedly (with ample proof) forge her NYSC certificate o, oho! Him don spend almost half of him tenure on medical vacation for London when him budget billions for Aso Rock Clinic (wey the First Woman wey dey ze oza room don clear us say no even get basic painkillers) o, oho! Him son wey no get any handwork dey drive super bike wey cost pass hundred million o, oho!
Him know say Nigerians in the long run na cowards wey go just shout, para, rant for social media, all huff and puff, so him dey deliberately shun them.
That's why I love my president.
P.S If by any chance the president has a debilitating ear infection that doesn't allow him hear Nigerians' shouts; or if the amnesia he was rumoured to have been diagnosed with back on his first London missionary journey is real and makes him instantaneously forget any Nigerian problem brought to his attention; or if his government has been hijacked by a bloodsucking cabal, then of course I will stop loving my President Muhammadu Buhari.

With due respect brp, the man in question is such a wicked soul and his likes should not be anywhere near leadership. His administration is the worst I've ever experienced in Nigeria.
What she said is the truth. It's funny how some brown roofers are crying here. It is also strange how the same Yoruba people call Igbo men noisy, like seriously? Yoruba of all people!
Iamgrey5: Do you know what popularity is at all? 1) of or relating to the general public
3)adapted to or indicative of the understanding and taste of the majority
Secondly do you know what heritage is at all
features belonging to the culture of a particular society, such as traditions,languages, or buildings, that were created in the past and still have historical importance.
The fact that you believed a tribe popularity cannot be influenced by its language and the fact that you believed language is not part of cultural heritage when addressing the issues of the Zulus in your write up makes me wonder why we are having this conversation
In addition, most aspects of the Zulu cultural norms are not very unique to them, it is basically the norms of the eastern bantu people of which the zulus are part. The popularity of the Zulu people was established because if the use of its language in the southern region of Africa.
@ popularity of Anglo-Saxon people
So what do you think made the English push their languages on others? Because of their love for others?
@ popularity of tribes in Eastern Africa
Who are the most popular tribes in eastern African then, if not the Swahilis?
@ how many Americans know about the Hausas
on your last sentence, How many people even care to know the difference in African tribes not to talk of the languages spoken in those countries? Do you know majority of people in the west still believe Africa is just one giant country.
Do me a favor, enumerate the most popular tribes in Africa and give valid reasons for your assertion?
Bro, I think we have both tried. Let's not derail this thread. That said, I look forward to giving you graphic details on this subject but as of endless rants here, I 'gat' no strength for that.
Iamgrey5: The language being spoken in more than 5 countries makes Swahili tribe quite popular. Remember I said popular
Language and other influence makes a tribe popular
There's no tribe in Africa that covers much land mass
Furthermore, majority of the African Hollywood/movies always incorporate the Zulu language into their movies because of its popularity in southern region of Africa, even in south Africa, it is the most spoken language despite the presence of other tribes in that Country.
Finally, Hausas are quite popular because of wide acceptance of their language in west Africa. the Hausas and cousin tribes can also be found in countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Benin etc..
Although because of the fusion of the Hausas and Fulani tribes. one can say thesame about the Fulani tribe
So let me spell it out
Eastern/central Africa: Swahili
Southern Africa: Zulu
Western Africa; Hausa and Fulani to a great extent
That is my criteria for judging popularity.
Are you talking of people or language? We are talking of people here not language. Don't confuse yourself.
You still don't know the difference between popular language and popular people.
You don't just say that the tiny Swahili people are the most popular group in East Africa because the language is a the most spoken. Swahili language is popular but Swahili as a people is not.
Hausa is not popular outside West Africa.
What makes Zulu popular is not the language but their rich legendary culture. Zulu language is spoken by less than 15 million people.
I agree language partially make some people popular but not always applicable.
Swahili language is far more popular than Swahili people. Zulu people is far more popular than Zulu language. English is the most popular language on earth, does it make the Anglo Saxtons popular?
Hausa language is very popular in West Africa, how many South and North Americans know Hausa people?
DonFreshmoney: You becoming boring and stale now.. repeating one thing everytime.. be creative in your words, don't be a nincompoop who just spit hogwash from his slimy mouth. You went to school for a reason, use ur brain to think before commenting.
DonFreshmoney: Do you know am a Mod ere?? And you can be banned for just being a waste of space.. Yam leg, flat head slowpoke..
Mod for where? Afonja demon is not capable of telling me the truth naa. Their ancestor is the father of all lies so I don't expect much from head slamming ritualists.
DonFreshmoney: For your information, I ain't an afonja.. I just wanted you to drown in your stupidity and foolishness than to reply you. And u even added Muslim to ur idiocy.. why don't you have sense? The Lord gave u sense to make use of it effectively and efficiently. But u chose to be a mumu.
Oil soup eating head slammer, keep of disgracing your useless slavery tribe.
Iamgrey5: Swahili, Hausa and Zulu are the most popular tribe in Africa
Just stating the obvious for those that might want facts
Swahili people are tiny group of people in an Island with a population of about 2 million. How can a group of 2 million people be the most popular people in Africa? Do you even know the difference between Swahili (language) and Swahili (ethnic group).
I agree, Zulu is popular but are they the most popular in Africa? Hell no!
Hausa has the most popular language in Africa but are they popular as people? Nope. How many Hausa people are popular outside Nigeria and Africa? Is there any Hausa culture known across the world? Certainly not!
How many of African American heritage is of Hausa ancestry?
I don't want to derail this thread, maybe you should open a new thread on this let me reply it in full.
maasoap: Because the name of the girl is an igbo name, you automatically concluded that Donfreshmoney must have been a Yoruba? Hmmmm!
Nope, I read the content of the news and the girl clearly said that she is an entrepreneur. Entrepreneur! And yet hate and frustration won't let him appreciate the beautiful girl and move on.
I checked the stupid dude's recent post and saw his several vile against Igbo women, he has never abused any Yoruba woman or even man plus his defense on Yoruba Muslims so, he is clearly Afonja spiteful fake moozlem.
DonFreshmoney: If I asked you now, u just spoke sense.. see as ur reasoning like to toddler.. perhaps because of the flatness of your skull, which led to your brain been compressed. The way your region is landlocked an filled with potopoto, is the way ur brain is landlocked
nYemisi in his usual chest beating. Afonja head slamming, spiteful, oblong head ritualists. When you are chased down from heaven alongside the devil, you ought to act like a demon. Afonja demon.
DonFreshmoney: So if am local, u are an international slowpoke, right? You should grow some sense into that thick skull of yours.. useless flat;head
Here he goes. Frustrated Afonja oblong head skull slammer. I didn't expect less from a local tout that is obviously suffering from brain infection, after drinking water from rusted roof.
resurgent2019: OMG. Did you understand my post at all? Lemme make it simpler for you: Other Nigerians DO NOT hate or envy igbo. The notion that Nigerians hate igbos only exist in your wild imaginations. I am doing you this service of disabusing your mind so you dont pass the persecution complex to the next generation of igbo kids.
Nobody has time to hate igbos. We have trashed out this issue for over 7 years on NL. Nobody get una time. Oya, concentrate on your makete.
No son, I think you are one that needs help as you obviously can't read. First of all, this thread isn't about other Nigerians hating Igbos or not. You just brought the dumb topic to this thread and stupidly thinks anyone cares about you. You can see clearly how dumb you sound by talking about other Nigerians bla bla bla. I've told you here severally, that you and your likes means nothing. None cares about your hates and likes as it doesn't mean anything to us. Long before Nairaland in NaijaRyders and NigerianVillage square, we have been telling your likes to take your likes or how you feel and shove it.
No son, I am not a trader. I'm at my office and can decide to take a week off. Some of my brothers are controlling real estates in Abuja, Lagos... Some of them are shooting movies in the most popular African movie industry. Some are producing new vehicles...
Now, isn't where I tell you to concentrate on your jadi jadi concoctions and 2 feet tailor shops?
resurgent2019: See raw bigotry. You will be alright in the end. I can only pity you and your ilk.
Dude stop disgracing yourself, I have no regard for a cocoon dweller like you. Stop hiding your stupidity and understand the fact that nobody cares what you think.
Moving trains don't care about inconsequential insects, you'll get crushed while the train continues speeding.
resurgent2019: Just purge yourself of the persecution complex. Nobody has the time to hate igbos. Kapisce?
Persecution by whom exactly? By ants and mosquitoes?
Dude go, site down and stop taking yourself too seriously. You can envy your superior by lying and crying against them. It does not stop them from being far better than you, your bitterness can't hinder them. You can keep on crying river, nobody is interested in your bitterness. One on one we will keep on dominating every look and crannies of Africa. Your sorrows means nothing.
Elose11: Reading some people's post here tells me how sad history is no more taught in our schools. For those who knows there history, the Binis have existed more than 800 years before the nation Nigeria came into existence. Now ask yourself how did they survive then? Asking how an empire, that at the zenith of its power,stretched from most of present day Igbo land, through most of present day Niger delta to as far as present day Ghana will survive if Nigeria, it predated, disintegrate is the height if ignorance.
I agree but you should note that Benin empire was not only made up of Benin alone. Some Igbos and other groups were part of it but that does not make them all Benin.
You should also note that if Benin is to form a country, you should not consider encroaching others as you did in the Benin Empire era. From what I've seen, Benin is fighting tooth and nail to take Delta with them hence their recent revived BenDel slogan.
I also disagree with whomever that is saying that Benin must join Yoruba. They are big enough and well equipped to stand on their own if the need arises. They just have to look inwards and cultivate their inbuilt strength. Thanks.
resurgent2019: Yes, Igbos are the best in the world. Happy now? I know you certainly feel good within yourself. So now go on with whatever business you are engaged in and please purge yourself of the notion that other Nigerians hate igbos.
Peace always.
Who cares, we are not psychopaths like one certain ethnic group. Nobody gives a damn about your love and hate. What I care is defending whom I am,anywhere. Insult me for being Igbo and I insult you the more. Life goes on!
resurgent2019: I started insulting how? I only cautioned him for opening e-war baiting thread.
I repeat, Nigerians dont hate igbos. They are too busy for that. Engage yourself productively.
Hate who? Who cares about your hate? Igbo is the greatest tribe on earth, a couple of nonsense from none progressive cowards won't deter it. Insult my tribe and I lambast yours.
