TSOM:You don't know what you're saying. Kurdistan is made up of loosely related tribes who speak different but related languages and surely identify themselves as neither Arab nor Turk nor Persian. From the map you can see different tribes of the Kurdish people:- Kurmanji, Sorani, Gorani, Zazaki, et.al.

In the process of filming and interviewing the leader of the sect, he was offered some quantity of human brain, And. He. Ate. It! The reporter describes himself as a Muslim and he shuns pork (Pig meat) and alcohol. But he had no qualms eating human flesh! Oh, and he was also offered an alcoholic drink in a human skull, And. He. Drank. It! |

DONGOYARO1:Look! Arewa secession a.k.a. ARABA! riots were the first agitations for the breakup of this country even before independence in 1960. This was what led to the compromise by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe to become ceremonial president and leave executive Prime Minister for the North. Following the success of the counter coup in July 1966 and installation of Yakubu Gowon as military head of state, the same Gowon went ahead to carve out the northern region as an independent country separate from the rest of Nigeria. Yes! The North did secede, successfully, then a few days later, they changed their minds and reversed the decision! It probably had something to do with the newly discovered commercial quantities of crude oil in the eastern region. |
| Foreign Affairs › Re: How Saudi Arabia Played Donald Trump by chijiblaze(m): 7:31pm On Jun 06, 2017 |
vantage001:Not so. Rather it's the Saudis who surely have America under the armpit! Look at how they've recruited the USA to fight against their enemies in wars in Syria and Yemen that don't concern the American people. America sells them the latest technology military hardware for some money which the have an unlimited supply of and then these weapons end up killing innocent civilians threatening allies or even in the hands of terrorists. America has so far failed to get the Saudis to adopt democracy human rights press freedom yet they're making the US adapt to wahabbi Islam. Saudi still refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist yet both countries surprisingly are America's allies! In the regional cold war and proxy wars which is just a struggle for supremacy between Iran (Shia) and Saudi Arabia (Sunni) America has weighed in strongly on the Saudi (Sunni) side and now blames Iran for supporting terrorism and ignores the reports of Saudi funding of ISIS. All these because America can't live without Saudi oil. |

| Foreign Affairs › Re: Donald Trump Withdraws US From Paris Climate Deal by chijiblaze(m): 9:24pm On Jun 01, 2017 |
I listened to the pulling out speech which he made, I think he really made some sense. The deal doesn't seem to achieve much though...1/20% of 1 degree centigrade in temperature reduction in 100 years! i.e. If it is properly implemented. Not to talk of if one or more countries decide to cheat and don't fully implement it. The deal is quite lopsided. Placing a lot of restrictions on the USA whereas leaving China and India with lots of room to manoeuvre and emmitt more greenhouse gases. Renewable energy generation now cannot meet up with the current energy demands. Hence fossil fuels are still indispensable. CO2 isn't the only greenhouse gas that causes the warming. President Trump offered to negotiate a new better deal or to improve the Paris one. 2 Likes |

The absence of away wins and draws does truly indicate the unhealthy nature of the league and its predictive nature. The Nigerian situation is so bad that you can almost surely expect it to happen everytime. It's now so predictable that most football match bookmakers don't accept puts on the Nigerian league matches. |
| Sports › Isn't The Nigerian League Just Rubbish? by chijiblaze(op): 12:56pm On May 29, 2017 |
Something is really wrong with that Nigerian Professional Football League. All over the world, wherever football leagues are played, it is done with the utmost impartiality and fairness in order to provide both sides with a level playing field where anybody has the opportunity to win a match or even the league. In the Nigerian situation however, we can see that this is hardly the case. Take a look for example at the screenshot of the results of matches in the Nigerian Professional Football League week 21 2017 season played during the weekend 27&28/05/2017. Notice that all the matches ended in a victory for the sides playing at their home! It was so bad that only one of the away sides managed to score a single goal; though they still ended up on the loosing side. None of the other teams managed to find the net in any of the other nine encounters. The win-at-home syndrome is still very much alive and present in the Nigerian league system. Unlike other countries. This is not unconnected with the state of abysmal officiating occurring in the league. What can be done to remedy this ugly situation?

As far as NairaLand is concerned, there are more Igbo posters/ bloggers/ users than others tribes! I'm sure that the % of Ndigbo is > 51% i.e. more than all of the other tribes put together! If this NairaLand is taken as a sample / microcosm of the Nigerian situation, it can be inferred that the Igbo far outnumber all others. And the population %ages would be something like:- Igbo: 60% Yoruba: 30% All other minority groups: 10% And the Northerners are not even there! 3 Likes 1 Share |
| Politics › Re: Breaking News!! 6 Countries Indicate Interest To Merge With Nigeria. Check'm Out by chijiblaze(m): 1:53pm On May 18, 2017 |
Don't worry, after Brexit, the UK will seek a remerger with Nigeria. They'll need to bolster their population to compete with or even surpass that of the new found enemies in the EU. With 0.19 Billion human beings available in Nigeria alone, the British government will be well on its way to achieve this aim population wise. Then the UK and Nigeria will simply be the same country with free movement of people thro and fro. The Queen would be our head of state(s) and our traditional rulers would be running thing locally. The official language would be pidgin English as a central meeting point between our native Hausa Igbo Yoruba languages and their native English language. Stay tuned... You'd get the fuller gist later from the official sources in the UK soonest. And well all vote in the merger referendum. |

Nigeria should just cultivate a system similar to what's obtainable in Switzerland and Belgium; where there are different regions with different languages. Switzerland has a French region, Italian region, Romansh speaking region and the bulk of the country is in the German language region. Belgium has a Flemish (Dutch) speaking region, a French speaking (Wallonia) region and a tiny German speaking region. In Nigeria, we could make the northern part a Hausa speaking region; southwest: Yoruba language region and southeast: Igbo language region. The other minority groups (south-south) can choose between the two of Yoruba and Igbo. |

The OP's right. Good morning in Igbo is ¿Ị̀ bọọla chi? Nothing more. All this Ụtụtụ Ọma business is just fake Igbo & a recent development with no connection to any village's dialect. Rather it's a direct transliteration from the English equivalent, done without regard to the form & structure of the Igbo language.

What if the Northern / Muslim elders just allege that it's a plot to prevent the fulfillment of their religious obligation to marry up to four wives? Or if a Northern president enforced the policy in the southern regions to decimate their population but was laissez-faire in his own place allowing his people's population to keep growing in order to claim greater share of federal government allocation? |

RobbStark:Perhaps not. But it can't be denied that Jaja couldn't possibly be the only Igbo person living there and involved in the politics of the land at that time. One reason he was able to gain lots of support was because many of his supporters were of Igbo origin. People whose names and deeds are not so remarkable to be remembered today like Jaja. Even his local political opponents were equally Igbo. And the people of Opobo today are the descendants of these (Igbo) people. |

What the OP wrote down here is absolutely true. I've heard of several instances of this happening. However it usually happens when a family has no male child to ensure the continued survival of the family's name and compound (Ka Ama ha ghara ichi) a daughter can be considered to be a man and given the full status of men in the community. She then proceeds to marry a "wife" another woman who would bear children for her family. Now this woman now considered as man may be already married to another man in another village that though won't stop her from marrying her "wife" for her family. Now it's not clear whether any form of homo-lez relationships develops between the women, Igbo tradition is silent on that matter. But the woman can conceive through any man of her choosing and the children would belong to the woman-man's family and carry on their name. The corresponding case i.e. practice of marriage between a man and another fellow man is however unknown. |

I don't think Nigerians are that bad in speaking English. The problem lies with the large portions of the northern part of the country where they speak Hausa and English is not encouraged. This gives a net drawback negative effect on the rest of the country especially in the English speaking southern parts of the country. 2 Likes |
