becoming the first player since Pietro Anastasi in 1968-69 to reach nine goals in 13 games for the club.

He sets or breaks record everywhere.

Bring the new provisions added to the electoral act here, and we will be able to tell you why the president is withholding assent .

Now we can rest with the heehaws and guffaw of brexit.

I'm not an Urhobo but I quite agree with you. Urhobos are many. In fact, I think they are more popular in Nigeria than any other ethnic group in the ND save for the binis whose dynasty is well known. Ijaws are smaller compared to what we are made to believe online. I

ijaw figure na scam.

HarryDuce:
When you say homogeneous, I wonder how knowledge you are about Bayelsa. First, there's no central Izon/Ijaw language that everyone who ascribes to be Ijaw can speak.

How do you know who is Ijaw and who is not? Except you're counting for only Bayelsa state, then I'd agree with you. But that would be ignorant.

your people are without central language everyone understand, but they claim they have more speakers that the Swahili.

scholes0:
Don't be silly Tivs are more than Igalas.
Urhobos very likely more too.

That's what you're.

Modify zombies please let my mention be abeg. I don't post comment for a leaving, so please don't mention me again..ode aṣiwère

That man is not buhari, the buhari we know is sick and prior to 2015, buhari is always on medical tourist. How come this man have not gone for medical tourist since he came back from London hospital.

And what did Amosun and okoroawusa wanna say??
Alot of questions are still begging for answer.

All in all, both jubril and buhari is Leaving that sit.
EOD#

"medical tourist".

English is hard.

asamaigho:
Funny enough jonathan is not an ijaw man....he doesnt even understand ijaw language......He is an ogbia man from bayelsa state.
Henry seriake dickson is an ijaw man.
Timipre silva is a nembe man from okpama..brass lga..their language is quit similar to ijaw, so can be considered an ijaw man.
XALLING JONATHAN AN IJAW MAN IS JUST FOR POLITICAL REASONS.

I told tonye this last time. Bayelsa is not homogeneously ijaw. Where did they get the number from when in their own state they're not alone?

Like scholes0 said, militancy and gej's(misunderstood to be ijaw) ascendancy to power gave them the voice to claim that outrageous figure.

Let's do the right census.

Eziokwu1:
The Central Intelligence Agency- CIA, The much quoted American intelligence unit website has made a revision on their website's Nigerian section under People and Society, Ethnic groups as well as Religion.: Updated November 09 , 2018.

According to them, this is the reflection of Nigeria's ethnic statistics:
Hausa 27.4%
Igbo (Ibo) 14.1%
Yoruba 13.9%
Fulani 6.3%
Tiv 2.2%
Ibibio 2.2%
Ijaw/Izon 2%
Kanuri/Beriberi 1.7%
Igala 1%
Others 28.9%
Unspecified 0.2%

It then goes on to say Muslims are 51.6% of the country, Christians are 46.9 (of which Roman Catholics are 11.2%), Traditionalists are 0.9%, while unspecified are 0.5%
https://www.cia.gov/llibrary/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ni.html

But knowing that this same CIA is the same agency responsible for the much peddled Hausa-Fulani 29%, Yoruba 21%, Igbo 18% Ijaw 10%, Kanuri 4%, Ibibio-Efik 3.5% Figure that was brandished around for a very long time, is it safe to say these new figures are also unrealistic and suspect?
Also the way they seem to be able to arrive at such precise percentages, plus their inclusion of an "unspecified" category seem to suggest that they did some sort of survey? (If they did, then when, where and how did it happen)

Take for example, How Igalas be 1% but Urhobos don't rank?
Hausas and Fulanis together are now 33.7% from 29%
Igbos are now 14.1% from 18%
Yorubas came as the biggest shock crashing down to 13.9% from a previous 21% More than 7% decrease.
Ijaws also went frm 10% to 2% (This one i am not surprised, because trust me, everyone knew Ijaws were not 10% of Nigeria)

The consequence of this is that Hausas alone are now the same population as Igbos and Yorubas combined, without even factoring in the fulanis YET.

What actually happened? Are the new stats more believable than the old one from the same Agency, or are both figures old and new total crap, which would only suggest that this so called agency are just amateurs sitting in some armchair in faraway Washington D.C making wild unresearched guesses? Hmmn.

you make me laugh when you say because igala is 1% , urhobo should be there. Lol! Urhobo people are more popular for the crisis they and itsekiri were having than their numbers. I told someone on another thread that, igala people are not happy with the mistake they made in the 1973 elections which saw Tiv having an imaginary higher number over the igalas - you know that census forms the basis for every figure you see today. They made mistake of failing to come out and be counted. In their own words, they felt coming out and to be counted would mean the government will force them to pay more taxes.

As for the ijaws, they're even far less than 2%.

bedspread:
Definitely He will !

The USA Is a Law Abiding institution

"US a law abiding institution"?

GBOKASINCHA:
Hmmm judging by their dressing they are either afonjeeezys or boko haramites

we shall find out soon if it's not some nkechi's dressed in that garb so they could hide the laptops.

TissuePaper:
exactly, these machines should be better made to accommodate the taller specie, I hope .

sure!

TissuePaper:
This height is a bit much, I'll pass

Also, the world is not made for tall people, I'm just 6'1 and I still find myself ducking through some doors and getting claustrophobic in taxis and buses...talk more of this guy that's about 7feet...hmmm, he's sure going to encounter some very uncomfortable situations during his lifetime.

I feel this when I feel the laden on the roof of the bus is touching my head . I can't sit with another person in front like it's done in most commercial taxi. If you're tall , own your own car real quick. I can imagine the pain when on public transport.

The board urged parents to abide by the rules of the school to enable the institution to fulfil its mandate of providing sound education for the pupils.

stupid Africans. So, wearing hijab stops you from providing "sound education"? Or in developed nations where uniforms are not worn, people don't get "sound education".

We are too backward as a people.

francisMKD:
the title of this topic is misleading...

very misleading. I saw " Duncan mighty surprises Toyota Camry".

Secondus always sound like an illiterate!

They always cry of marginalization - but they're more abrasive to people outside their religious or tribal circle.


Na dem de marginalize pass.

They come to your place to ask for everything, but won't give you one in their region.

No wonder that hunchback was able to manipulate them.

Jomandi13:
[color=#006600][/color]You should ve wonder why the Governor has always been a Muslim while the deputy a Christian and going by your anology it is a mis represented facts stated above.Do the needful in researching.However,you should ve seen the hand writing on the wall of El-Rufai intentions,I see you completely missed it.

it was IBB that started political equation when Sadauki was appointed to deputize a military administrator. It's not because of numbers, it was because of political correctness. The same ibb created the "population imbalance" you have in taraba state simply because he wanted to please TY Danjuma - now as a result of that, we have Christians claiming imaginary majority.

We have been having christian deputy governors in Kaduna state since 99 , has that brought peace? Under Yakowa in 2012 , we had crisis. So what are you guys saying?

If you have that number to produce a governor, go ahead and fly Christian-Christian ticket.

Thief!

Jomandi13:
Plateau state is not like kaduna,get this into your brain for clarity.

You can't turn facts on their heads. Why are you deceiving yourself?

ollah2:
Don't mind them, they are bunch of hypocritical bigots and intolerant people.

we have the most hypocritical set of Christians in Nigeria.

Jomandi13:
Ok but you should know that kaduna state is not entirely a core Muslim state like Kano,Sokoto,Zamfara and the likes.

what do you use to define a "core Muslim state"?

Going by your theory, is Edo, Benue, Ekiti , plateau, core Christian states?

Jomandi13:
You a're definitely wrong about this,don't get mixed up in this issue.It clearly shows you are yet to understand social political and ethnic diversities of this country.I urge you to take time out to make your findings to get a well informed perspective.

in a state where it's 60-40 between Christian and Muslims, you think the Muslims don't deserve the seat of a deputy governor? What "well informed perspective" are you talking about?

Patrioticman007:
.
The southern Kaduna people are traditional worshippers, they claim Christianity just to be among & get sympathy. Had the Europeans not intervened they would have been Muslims. However its not late for them to worship one true God. The White Europeans taught us might is right, they colonized us with machine guns.

Even those in the southern part of kaduna can't deny the role Muslims played in giving them identity and upliftment. But today, you have them being goaded by the southern Christians to play the spoilers and they're doing just that.

They have the opportunity to stamp their numbers on our faces, yet, they opted to be crying.

backnbeta:
I hope your brothers will one day allow a Christian/Christian ticket to show that religion doesn't matter but competence.

It's not handed to anyone, it's won. They have the space to fly a Christian-Christian ticket now. No one is stopping that.


Why are you guys not talking of Edo, ekiti, plateau, benue, etc?

OgaToby04:
Tambuwal's popularity is deeply rooted in Sokoto, so for Ahmed to usurp him from that office will take the intervention of the Lifeless one through massive rigging, as seen in Ekiti and Osun

you kids don't even know where sokoto is, let alone knowing who's "rooted" there.

@henritinecy

But it hurts me so bad that after making this money, some other lady will be the one spending the rest of my life with me.

Are you OK? Why would you even bother yourself on a girl missing out on your potential success due to her own crass impatience with your "brokeness"?


Were you blind to have seen that girl is heartless and materialistic? Why would you wish to spend the rest of your life with such person?


It's hard to be in love and be sensible.

Dump her and move on.

chiedu7:
Please muslims whats the use of wearing hijab and wearing makeup!

that's a modest makeup. I want to meet that lady.

Congratulations!

"Sad fact"!

Stanweezy:
So this people know the rules better than the school, don't combine school rule with Islamic rule. If the school said no wearing of hijab obey it, if u are not satisfied with that you can change your ward to another school that allows that. For Christ sake this is called school UNIFORM meaning everybody must wear this same thing.

you're a headless kid for commenting without reading. Didn't you see where they made reference to rule 7 that does not forbid wearing of hijab?

Kid, give us the school rule that says otherwise.

Nigerian Christians are the most intolerant set on earth. Imagine if this happened in the north. Even in ibadan where Muslims are in the majority, look at how they're treating them.
