seunlayi:meeeen the first green one is wonderfully lovelous senciously sexy... (chai!!! See grammar). This is really a new start for the Super Eagles & other teams... I hope this will give us sexy goals & trophies... |
Jaypea98:lolzzz... I dont know what u mean by ur link. Saying i will come & actually coming are two different things. People waited for GMB the day he said he will come. But he never came until around 4 when Ngige came around to run his mouth like parrot that needs water. |
gustoville:does Silver bird hve good picture quality? It has neve had as for NTA it depends on which NTA you are watching. Our regular NTA does not have good picture quality but other ones like NTAi, NTAnews24 have. I dont see any difference between silver bird colour quality nd that of our regular NTA. Ben Bruce improved manything in NTA. He introduced the reforms that brought about different NTA channels. So let us forget propaganda and slandering. The man is too inovative and i love him for that |
isaacjohn82:funny u... The question i asked is “who is CHINWE ACHEBE? And not Chinua Achebe. I know Chinua Achebe, i know his home town Ogidi. So before u send me to google read what i wrote that quoted very well. |
naijainfogalery:bros na you and who dey ague here. Igbos have fought a 3year bloody war. They want BIAFRA and they have gone very far with their new aproach to it. Just wait and dont mention me again.. |
san316:so your point is that GMB really forgot the number of states in NIGERIA...lolzzz It means that Nigerians are in real deeper shit. No wonder some people call him BBB (Brainless Baba BUHARI)lolzzz |
naijainfogalery:i never fought u. I only asked you a question and made a point. I wonder who told you that he doesent care about Biafra. We never knew that Obama cared about Kenya and muslims until he became the USA president. |
naijainfogalery:if he were a thief or a drug pusher and waiting to be hung, will you write what you just wrote? You are just jealous that he is Igbo and not even a Nigerian... He is a Biafra but he doesnt live inside this Zoo called Nigerians. He is a free man because this Zoo is a big cage that limits the Igbo spirit... Tell your northern Zoo keepers to let Biafran go... |
cramjones:lolzzzz this is from a born again cramjones... so unlike cramjokes |

Which of the NTA does not have good colour and good transmitter? are you talking about NTAi or NTAe or NTANews24, abi are you talking NTASports24? which one of them... And you are asking seun and lalasticlala to send this your trash to front page... |
The Ebira (also spelt Igbira or Igbirra) are the outspoken and very hard working agrarian Nupoid-speaking ethno-linguistic group located in the Central Senatorial district of Kogi State (not far from the Niger-Benue confluence) in Nigeria. Recent in depth research indicates that the Ebira have been part and parcel of what is now generally known as Central Nigeria since 4000 BC (Ohiare 1988). The Ebira zone is also prominent in the prehistoric civilization of the Iron Age generally characterised by the Central Nigeria as epitomised by Nok Culture. Even recently the iron-working site of Ife-Ijummu (Kogi State) has been dated to 260 B.C. Thus, it could be deduced that the Ebira as a group existed for a long time in locations within Central Nigeria not far from where they are located presently (Ohiare 1988, Willamson 1967, Beneth 1972). Many Ebira people are from Kogi State, Kwara State, Nasarawa State, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and Edo State. Okene is said to be the administrative centre of the Ebira-speaking people in Kogi state. The word “Ebira” refers to the people themselves, their language and their geographical location. Using the name of the most popular town of the land, we may refer to them as Ebira Okene. The Ebira Okene occupy the hilly stretch of land southwest of the Niger-Benue confluence area and share boundaries with the Yoruba-speaking people of Akoko, Owe and Ijumu to the west; the various Akoko-Edo people to the south and south west; the Hausa, Nupe and Ebira groups at Lokoja to the north; and the River Niger to the east. Nigerian Nollywood stars Mercy Johnson and Halima Abubakar are from Ebira tribe. Other Ebira groups are Ebira Igu in Kogi and Koton Karfi local government areas of Kogi state; Ebira Toto and Umaisha ofNassarawa (Toto) local government area of Nassarawa state; Ebira Mozum of Bassa local government area of Kogi state; and Ebira Etuno of Igarra District of Ako-Edo local government area of Edo state. Other Ebira are to be found in Abaji in the Federal Capital Territory and Agatu in Benue state. The Ebira people are republican by nature, outspoken and very hard working. Farming and cloth-weaving are occupations for which the Ebiras are well known. The paramount ruler of the people is called Ohinoyi of Ebiraland. The Ebira cherish their traditional festivals in spite of the infiltration of some negative tendencies. GEOGRAPHY (ENVIRONMENT) A common physical feature of Ebiraland is the conspicuous presence of blocks of dissected hills and the metaphoric rocks enveloping the greater part of the land. The hills rise to a peak of 2000 ft and probably represent the remnants of an old post of Gondowana pedi-plain (Clayton 1957). The African laterite and plain which embraces the greater part of Ihima, Okengwe and Ageva are occupied by extensive undulating plains (1200-1400ft). They are studded with smooth rounded rocks of in selbergs. The laterite soils are derived from metaphoric rocks of greyish-buff (18 inches) and clayed pan which overlay vascular iron stone (Omorua 1959:1). The depth of the soil is however variable, ranging from two to three feet to about three inches where the ironstone approaches the surface, as in the Itakpe hills in Adavi district.There is also the Niger literic plain forming a lower terrace below the higher plains. This is conspicuous in Ajaokuta, Eganyi, Ebiya and part of Adavi in the north and north-east of Ebiraland. Another very important feature is the rim from the highland. This enscarpement which extends to Ihima, Eika and part of Ajaokuta widens into abroad zone of dissected hills. The soil formation of the rims are mostly skeletal, consisting of pale brown and orange brown sands and grits. The enscarpment contains quartz stones interspersed with pockets of deeper sand wash (Omorua 1959:1-2).The implications of these features to the past and contemporary history of the land are many. A few of them are as follows. The nature of the topography has affected the relief pattern of Ebiraland,which is marked out of the dissected peaks with knife-edged ridges,and steep V-shaped valleys. Valleys of this type occur in Okene,Okengwe and Eika towns. Apart from exerting much influence on the climate, the features in part provided security and protection for the ancient Ebira. Thus they resisted external incursions into their geo-polity as in the case of the Ajinomoh jihadist wars in the 1880s discussed elsewhere (Okene 1990:26-30). Furthermore, the features influenced the pattern of the people’s technical know-how as it relates to the production of crafts like pottery, dyeing and blacksmithing and of the people instruments of production or destruction such as hoes, cutlasses and spears and bows and arrows.The Ebira were famous in Central Nigeria for the production of these crafts (Barth 1990:510-515; Jones 1969:38). In contemporary times, these features serve as a reservoir of the iron-ore deposit now discovered in large quantity in some hills of the land. Itakpe hill inAdavi district alone has an iron-ore deposit estimated between 37 and 47 million tons, and of more than 60 per cent iron content (Okene 1995:37). This is meant to provide raw material for the Ajaokuta Iron and Steel Industry set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria.Other minerals to be found in substantial commercial quantities in Ebira include marble, limestone, copper, chalk and mica. |
cramjones:cramjokes you will never change... you are appearing little by little... but using falsehood to announce your return to nairaland is really a bed omen... well at least you have made front page two times today with a bad post... |
Malawian:lolzzzzz it is not necessary if you ask me... however Biafrans will observe sit at home on May 30th... |
obiak4:well I dont know how to make you understand that all those you people die for are all friends... they chop knuckles and banters... they all drink wine and pump champagne together... that is by the way... Let me tell you that politics brings you to a place where you become conscious of your environment... enjoyment and fun to me has nothing to do with what one eat or drink... it is all about expedition and discovery... that is what i call fun... |
Built2last:well the northern ZOO keepers do not want it so shove it into some space... Well my BIAFRANS BROTHERS or LOWER NIGER REPUBLIC... Independence is given but FREEDOM is taken & it is always done with force. Nigeria is a big ZOO. Humans do not belong here. Freedom to be called LOWER NIGER REPUBLICE or BIAFRA is what we take not through anything other than backing out of this zoo. I am waiting to see what happens after our leader make their presentation at UN this June. |
Islam is religion of Piece |
obiak4:i am right here in Nigeria. Let tell you... Politics in Nigeria is more fun than in any other country. Those who die cause of politics are not politicians. They are hungry & over zealous people. politics is all fun & having fun... am enjoying it BIG TIME |
OkutaNla:did i read sw/northern alliance? Lolzzzz there is no alliance anything... Time will prove us right... Igbos have never been hausa slaves sir. It is the yorubas that has been hausa slaves and they have always paid dearly for it. Igbos only need one thing & that self actualisation which translates to not to be so keen on depending on the government of this zoo to fend for them. Every igbo man wants to free. Every igbo man wants to get out of this cage called Nigeria. Take it or leave it... The incoming government will favour the igbos more than the yorubas. Because they know that NDI IGBO have reached advanced stage in actualising their DREAM country called BIAFRA. |
ibkgab001:dear politics is a game of wits... It is a game of men with big heart... It is like this anywhere in the world. It is also fun to be involved in it. |
lazsnaira:who is the master here & who is the slave... But if u know history at all... U will know that what brought about the end of slave trade is the agitation and infighting between slaves and their masters... Now on Tinubu & GMB: When results started droping in northern states during the colation of results. I told my friends that these results that comes from the north is to RIG Tinubu out of government if GMB wins. The person that will run “madt“ and get himself impeeched is Osinbajo because for four years if he stays put, he will be like someone in prison. Those that were boasting about him will know that VPs are nobodies in government. The fight will soon get sour & the bouble of lies & propaganda used against GEJ will finally bust and our eyes will clear... Too bad ... Too late |
glowithdan:Tinubu will understand that his lion's den wont exceed the south west... watching as the fight brews |
LKO:Dream of the night... night mare... Bad dream... Fashola wont be given any ministerial appointment near the portfolio of attorney general and minister of justice... just watch and see |
adamskutty:are you talking about Igbos who live there for business & work or are they indigines of the place. Igalas in Anambra are indigines. They own where they live. They are not visitors. So if you mean Igbo men & women who have gone to Igala land fo business or work, lolzzz. Because IGBOS are everywhere all over the world. |
adamskutty:but you know that there are Igalas in Anambra which is a Biafran land? |
lalasticlala:you people should forget this lies... What they used in killing Abacha was given to Yisa Arafat and he used it to kill Abacha... all was planned by CIA. the same way they planned and killed Abiola and also used some of the substance to kill Yisa Arafat too. No prostitute anything killed Abacha |
drstone1:abi oh... If u check you will discover |
midolian:lolzzzz just as you just typed... |
FreeGlobe:i have warned you in the time past... Sorry not warning but... I adviced you in the time past to becareful before you develope high BP cos of Mr Peter Obi. Since Peter Obi messed your Ngige your pay master, you have waiting & praying that he falls too... Sorry is your name...
