Kip quiet.

I dey laugh.

Now that they heard the americans are coming they want to abolish the almajiri system a.k.a. their street army. Too late. The quick the U.S. sets up base in the north, the better.

White elephant project.

lagcity:
Are u not the clown who said ibos wear Yoruba and Hausa clothing to blend in and do business? why are ibos still wearing it in America and Western world? is it also to blend in with Yoruba or what?

The names chyz* and no i never said anything like that so go bury you face omo.

Obiagu1:
Better don't jubilate yet.
The governor should do his maths proper and give allowance for 3,000+ Abia indigenes that will be sacked nationwide.

Bingo. Why approve an excessive amount when you are in a matter in which retalliation for sending non-indegenes back to their states is still on grounds of talk. I'm hoping Jurist knows the write up makes his governor look even more clueless.

tpia@:
There is no problem.

We welcome every potential yoruba into our fold.

Let us know if assistance is needed with governance, romance issues, cultural know how, etc. We'll send someone over to teach these things.

No biggie and nothing new. We are all one.

How can you teach something you lack? Now scram. Dont jump your boundaries.

yinx007:
Now, I'm dating a guy who happens to hail from Anambra state but somebody was now giving me the gist that they don't marry people outside their tribe. Pls if u hail from Anambra or know about their culture can u help confirm this because i'm a yoruba girl. Your responses would be highly appreciated.

Not true at all. Do keep in mind that there is no such thing as "Anambra culture" or "Anambra tribe". It's just a place which has various Igbo clans with varous traditions and beliefs. Whoever told you that is just trying to discourage you. You should be weary of that person. Anambra men are the main ones in igboland that mary white woman so if that's the case how bout you. You are fine my dear carry go.

[size=15pt]Assembly decries sack of Rivers’ indigenes from Abia[/size]

By Clarice Azuatalam, Port Harcourt 18 hours 21 minutes ago

•House debates motion



A lawmaker in the Rivers State House of Assembly has moved  a motion for the  sack of indigenes of Abia State from the state’s civil service.

Kelechi Nwaugo, representing Omuma Constituency, yesterday said he received a petition from 68 Rivers State indigenes, who were disengaged in Abia State.

Nwaugo said non indigenes, especially those from Abia State, be disengaged from the Civil Service to create room for the 68 who had been laid off in Abia State since October 1.

Another lawmaker, Golden Chioma, said: “ If we keep quiet, tomorrow other states will take us for a ride.”

Chioma noted that there are about 500 Abia indigenes teaching in Rivers State-government owned schools.

He said: “By the time their names are compiled and a letter sent to Abia government, the Abia State indigenes who are working in Rivers State civil service would begin to call their government to order.”

Belema Okpokiri, representing Okrika, also lamented that most teachers in  government-owned schools are from Imo and Abia states.

“Our  people collect money from them and employ them and even post them to schools in Port Harcourt metropolis while indigenes are posted to rural communities,” he said.

He posited that the names of Abia indigenes be compiled as a signal that the sack could be imminent.

Arguing against the motion, Ewor Robinson (Ahoada East 1),  said the state needs non-indigenes to help grow its economy.

He reminded the House that it had once cleared a non-indigene as commissioner and given scholarship to non-indigenes.

Another lawmaker, Igbani Ikwunyi, representing Andoni constituency, said: “Rivers State is the economic hub of the nation and so should be seen to accommodate everyone working in the state.”

He pointed out that in view of the just-concluded Investors’ Forum, this is an inauspicious time to kick people out of job in Rivers State.

The lawmaker also argued that the  government had also just engaged some non-indigenous medical doctors to run its numerous primary health centres.

Ikwunyi  advised that the matter be handled with caution because of the reverberating effects it might have on the state.

Benjamin Horsfall representing Asari Toru constituency also advised that the matter be referred to the House Committee on Public Complaints and Petition for investigation.

The Speaker, Otelemaba Amachree sought the leave of the House to commit the matter to the Committee on Public Complaints and Petition headed by Michael Chinda and gave it “two weeks to carry out an in-depth investigation into the matter.”

You're funny.

Great move!

This is what we've been looking foward to, an Igbo governor encouraging Igbos to come back home to develop our land. And I see that the SA of Lagos position created by the Rochas Administration is really paying off. Good job to Rochas.

The bow tie.

[size=15pt]IMO GOVT TO PARTNER WITH PRIVATE INVESTORS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT[/size]

Posted: 22-Nov-2011 [12:54:50] by Online Unit 


His Excellency,Owelle Rochas OkorochaDetermined to revive the economy of Imo State and make life easier for the citizens, the Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has announced the setting up of a committee that will facilitate joint businesses between government and private partners as well actualize the establishment of International Electronics Electrical Auto-parts Market (INTEMARK) at Naze, Owerri North LGA.

Speaking during a business meeting with a cross section of entrepreneurs
and businessmen of Imo State origin resident in Lagos, Governor Okorocha explained that government Ministries, Departments and Agencies are currently strengthened to function independently as part of measures to commercialize the activity of government, adding that the abandoned plots of land at Onitsha road Industrial Lay-Out is to be re-allocated to any investor who is ready to establish an industry there-in within 3 month of being issued with a certificate of occupancy.

During the meeting which was held at Lagoon Restaurant, Victoria Island, the governor affirmed that his administration has embarked on a massiveinfrastructural development to create the enabling environment that will attract both foreign and local investment into the State.

Speaking further at the occasion, the governor enjoined wealthy Imo indigenes and entrepreneurs to consider establishing their businesses in Imo State as government has provided the enabling environment that will guarantee safety and profitability. Said he, “On assumption of office, we met a State that lacks the basic infrastructure needed to drive economic activities but as I am speaking, we have commenced total reconstruction of roads in Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe towns and revival of all abandoned projects initiated by late Sam Mbakwe, all in an effort to make Imo attractive for investment opportunities.

According to him, his administration has resolved to partner with Imo indigenes under Public Private Partnership (PPP) in its drive to industrialize Imo State and create more jobs for the teeming unemployedyouths. In his words, “The doors of this administration are open for partnership in all aspects. We are ready to give support to whoever that has good business concept that will contribute in the rapid development of
the State because we are in a hurry to develop Imo State as well as
make it the economic hub of the South-East and South-South States”.

Earlier in a speech, the Chairman of the occasion, Chief Damian Odenigbo
re-affirmed that Imo indigenes in electrical and electronic business
have shown enough willingness to build an international market in
Naze.

He requested for government to build a lighter terminal in Oguta to
boost economic activities in the area.

Also present at the meeting was the Imo State Deputy Governor, Sir Jude Agbaso and a host of others.

The nationally known tribalist will always be just that. Anybody else who talks nonsense and say that ACN isn't a yoruba tribe is only lying to himself. This article is the evidence. All moves are made to favor and position the SW over other regions.

tpia@:
i've posted the story of king onyeama of eke, who interacted heavily with ilorin mallams and also brought them to igboland.

you do the math.

Who told you those mallams from ilorin were yorubas?

And i hope you are aware that we igbos also border the northern people so what makes you think we were not getting some attire from them? Also if Onyeama of eke can travel all the way to ilorin from anambra, what makes you think others weren't traveling to hausaland,nupe,etc. and acquiring the sahel wear you people call agbada? You people are so funny i tell ya.

Ileke-IdI:
Is there anyway to post this on the front page?

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-807895.0.html

Thanks.

Is there any way you can make your life worth something?

Ileke-IdI:
Chillax, calm down your ranting.

Resort to insults like Chyz plz, because this your feminine display sef get as e be

So just because i called you a bytch I'm now insulting you?? Wow, wonda shall neva end!!!!!!

Ileke-IdI:
Then I guess there's nothing about a refined Igbo attire?

Bingo,my dear.

Gbam! Gbosa! Who says bytches dont understand.Gotta give it up to you you just deminished the stereotype.

I always like eastern attire and festivals. They are always colorful and never dull unlike a certain part of the country(chyz looks and points to the left)

ijaw_girl:
yo I will rather wear the Ijaw hat than that Peacock ofala mess up poo

ijaw_girl, no mind them. dont stoop to that level. The outfits are a collage of beauty.

Ileke-IdI:
More refined and sophisticated tah the Arab's and Hausa's. We refine them esp for our "Owambe"

But truthfully, what you see being worn by SE'rn Igbos are the Yoruba's refined agbada, coupled with the hat. You dont see them wearing the hausa hats either


We should be celebration this bridge of gap.

The is nothing like a refined yoruba attire with the igbo>get it right omo. In fact maybe you can show up a comparison and stop living in an owambe.

lailaiwala:
me too. the op has an agenda. very anti-igbo boy/girl. pot calling kettle black on the peacock hat too. considering the hideous faggoty outfits she's being posting.

The ijaw_girl is nothing like "anti-gbo". Cut it out. Stop making enemies for us.

REP S NIG:
^ Ageb, go siddon joor, you are a daft illiterate. Read the article. . . . .it speaks for itself!

Darrrmn! Some people DAFT OOOOOOO!

Never argue with a bytch who has 365 days of PMS. 366 including leap year.

PeeBee:
^^^^^^^^Superman

Cool

Lmao!!! You're soooo wrong for that one!

[quote author=Aigbofa link=topic=807895.msg9602636#msg9602636 date=1321890172][/quote]What you people have his called modifications to sahel clothing. Even the peter pan cap that you all wear sometimes are modification to european hats that the esquires use to wear(I'm not talking about the hat that looks like a burray that leans to the side either).

ignis:
People should start practicing family control or else, Lagos no go enter us in five years time.

It has nothing to do with having children. Its just that too many people are moving to lagos. When the FG lessens corruption and tribal bigotry then there will be a decrease in population in lagos.

I heard the yorubas also created the "British" dress shirt and tie. I believe that one though,but, I don't believe the attire in the first pic has anything to do with yorubas. After all, since when have sahel clothing become yoruba,unless we are saying that they(yorubas) are sahelan? Also, didn't the yorubas modify the sahel african outfit which made the lower part of the upper-body wear wide like a dress? In the first pic there is nothing like that so how could it be yoruba attire.
