Femmyfamous4u: I kept saying it that all the noise about centenary is sham, wastage of resources, misplaced priority and as a matter of fact, distortion of history. I've been hearing in the media that Nigeria is 100 years old. For God's sake, let's not distort history!! Let it be known to all and sundry that decades ago, countries like cameroun, Benin republic and others were separated from Nigeria and it would be wrong to declare such date as their day of independence as a country since they were still under colonialism.

It was all over the media that FG had budgetted about 74 billion naira to build a centenary city for the celebration. In the face of unemployment, poor power supply and looming insecurity the FG chose to squander such an amount to an event that will add nothing to us as a country.
To me, if the FG wants to celebrate anything other than independence, then, it has to be being a republic.

As I've argued in the past, Awolowo and Mandela are different in their achievements, one is a nation's builder and while the other is a freedom fighter., in fact I will only compare Mandela to Ken Wiwa, not Awo, and not Kwame.

In terms of international recognition, of course, Mandela had to deal with white supremacists which automatically puts him in the watchful eyes of the world, but Awolowo was simply trying to bring civilization to his people which usually doesn't elicit passion or praise from the outside world.

My African heroes are Awolowo, Nkrumah and Mandela in that specific order, but lets not totally forget the struggles of Thomas Sankara

chukxie: Tecno is making a kill in Nigeria more than it's doing in any other African country. I hope the Chinese government realizes the importance Nigeria / Nigerians are making to the development of Tecno as a brand /company!

greatwaters: Yea, thats true. BTW, have u heard anything about Ilori's internationa future?

fluidity , technicality , finesse on the ball they are
mostly clunky in their style of play... I hope dey improve

Two4Two: Yes it is a business lesson to all of us, but we should not forget the saying NEVER SAY NEVER. They have already studied the characteristic of Nigerian market and discovered that giving us quality products with low price will break even and that's exactly what they did combined with aggressive adverts ( huge capital investments) to endear the hearts of many Nigerians thus making their products house hold names especially among the students. Don't forget the purchase of the right to BBM etc or what do you call it.

Chinese guys sure know how to take over market. I saw them sometime ago in the remotest part of my village, hawking lace materials this also shows the extent they can go to get the market share.

ketoprofen: what and what make up generally studies

ketoprofen: And who told u igbos hardly have Igbo movies?
Are u in the east?
All the cds i bought these last 3 months are of Igbo movies.
Do u think there is any Yoruba movie CD in the east?
Same way easterners are not aware of yoruba movies unless when they flip thru dstv.
Moral: talk only what u can defend.

ketoprofen: And who told u they don't study Igbo Lang in 100 levels in eastern unis?
I learnt that in my time, so what does that make u sound like?
Which univ in Yoruba is named after a Yoruba word?
Trash

ketoprofen: who is incorporating Yoruba to sell a music album?
Is there any language they don't sing urban Nigeria music with?
what of yorubas that sing in Igbo?
U stay in ur Yoruba villages and get to hear of Yoruba songs only, u ppl shd civilize for once and get exposed globally.

Tonylyte: Ghana must go is neva an african(negroid) nation. We have mongoloid, caucasoid, negroid and charcoaloid races of the world. Ghana fallz under the charcoaloid race. Dnt mistake an average ghanaian 4 an african shekinah!

TribalEAST: igbo musicians still sing a lot in yoruba language neglecting theirs e.g don jazzy, dr sid, d prince, chidinma etc.

Yoruba is very easy to understand such dat if parents dont speak it to their children, the streets will in terms of music and movies. Igbos hardly have igbo movies.

Yoruba language has even mixed with english and pidgin english in nigeria. Words like jo (joor), jare, oya, lepa, o(i give am o!), soji, gbajue, nogere, komole, suwegbe etc are constantly used by all tribes.

Xtfield: I have always admired the Igbo people. Unlike my Yoruba people, Igbos are very good at passing on their language and traditions to their children wherever they live. Hardly can you see an Igbo child who will not understand and speak the language at age 6. Not like the Yorubas who view speaking Yoruba as a sign of backwardness. We sure have a lot to learn from the Igbos on this and other issues.
