You only see things from one angle, definitely the one that favours you. Can you quantify the weight of investments the Igbos have built in the Yoruba states, thus helping them develop their land. How many Yorubas invest in the SE? And yet you'd be the first to chant 'One Nigeria'. It's an issue of "wash my hand and I wash yours". We help you develop your land.....the list you can do for us is award us small titles. If Igbos eventually leave Lagos, people would start renting flats 10k per annum

In your heart of heart, you and I know that the kind of opportunities in terms of investment that the yorubas have in the east are limited. An ibo man would hardly sell a piece of land to a Yoruba man in the east. The same thing does not apply in the west. And then you talk about ibos helping to build Yoruba land. In what ways sir? Is it in terms of road construction or schools? The truth is, the Yoruba land developed faster , in terms of infrastructure, than any other region in the country : The first universities, the first TV station etc, so it's normal that it became an investment haven for others. More so, everybody has almost equal opportunities in yorubaland irrespective of your tribe.

Sorry I mistook your moniker for one Yoruba guy like that

However You don't get my point
What's the point of investing outside Igbo land(in the name of one Nigeria) and watch it go down the drain because of one cartoon in Denmark?

Let me ask u one question sir. If you were born Yoruba or Hausa, would you commit suicide? It marvels me the way people go about this issue of tribalism. Now, the ibos are agitating for Biafra, pls who are going to b their leaders if eventually they succeed? Is it not still these present Igbo leaders? Are they better in terms of integrity than any other leaders from other parts of Nigeria? The truth is, most of our leaders are bad irrespective of tribe! I'm not saying you should not be a tribalist, but just remember that nobody had a chance to choose his tribe. Again, I am Yoruba, and I dare say that the kind of privilege igbos enjoy in Yoruba land, a Yoruba can never enjoy such in Igbo land. Ibos have been commisionners , held various positions. In fact, the university where I graduated, on two occasions, ibo guys became the SUG president, not to talk of faculty and departmental presidents. I have been to the east, a Yoruba guy can never be given such opportunity. We should be realistic. This tribalism must stop! I could have been created Fulani after all!

Why will I do bad belle for him. I don't know him.
I'm proud of Nigerians and African that have contributed to genuine scholarship.
Eg- guy that invented yam pounder.
Dr. In the USA that first diagnosed and named the brain trauma associated with American footballers.
The work of Dr. Stella to recognize the Ebola symptoms.
The Nigeria engineers that worked on microprocessors in California
But frauds like agbalaka, TB Joshua, Gabriel oyibo,emeagwali deserve scorn and shame because they detract from.the works of the reputable ones and give us all collective bad names.
Peace.

haha, even Gabriel Oyibo that was nominated thrice for the Nobel prize?

Interesting! I can't remember when OAUTH did her first kidney transplant. It's such a long time ago. Anyway, LASUTH is a state hospital. Congrats all the same.

......'built by Nigerian army after the civil war'. Was it built for easy access into the south east? Hun , I just hope this 'collapse' of the bridge has nothing to do with the Biafran project. It is well.

lord i need this

As much as I won't like to fault ur request from God, I just feel there are better things to ask for, or better still, thank God for what you have. Have you seen a burns victim before? Or a severely injured victim of road traffic accident with multiple lacerations and fractures? Or an amputee? These people's life don't usually remain the same afterwards. Am not trying to claim 'holier than thou', but these are what I see everyday, and I have learnt to appreciate my being. I thank God that I am still 'complete'.

"when I looked left, I saw you close to a similar to correctness, later I realise it was actually correctness. for among the 10, a one without a broomstick. lol

Haha, pls could pls interpret what you just typed?

The answer is simple. It's much easier to transform to a female. It's much easier to create the breasts hormonally and the vaginal surgically. Scientists have still not been able to create the penis. To grow breasts, all you need is oestrogen, That's all.

Bonapart:
before your for Fathers and their dirty idols, the bible was already in existence... when you get to where they are you ask them that question. am sure they're in right position to answer you

This is supposed to be an intellectual conversation. When you raise a good point, nobody argues it. See, if u had lived at the time those forefathers lived, you would have worshipped the idols and partook in the 'dirty' traditions. Meanwhile, the traditions were not all about idol-worshipping . There were so many beautiful things about the tradition. Calling the traditions dirty is , at best, obnoxious.

Bonapart:
Tradition: one of the straight part to hell

Refrain from it and be saved

haha, that's funny. Is it every part of our tradition that is bad? Are you saying all our forefathers who never heard about Jesus that would be condemned to hell? We don't have to sound dogmatic before we sound reasonable.

This is not a fair report. The pastor didn't cause the stampede or the death. According to you, the roof of the stadium caved in. so, why are u being mischievous with that title? It's baffling when we condemn our ourselves and begin to throw dusts when the white people paint us black. We are our own enemies: always in pursuit of the other person's downfall!

[color=#000050]In as much as I like Tuface's music , I won't buy that book with my money, wetin he wan talk about ' A very good bad guy '

I don't know how he does it, like 7 children born out of wedlock, oh it's Tuface, no one bats an eye...

Just one child from the likes of Wizkid n Davido, we tag them irresponsible and call them all manners of names

Hypocrisy at best. [/color]

Well, u may be right. But 2face had two options that he didn't go for: one was to make those girls terminate the pregnancies or deny responsibility outright . I think to some extent, the guy has some sense of responsibility, more so that he married one of the 'baby mamas'.

Am sorry, but I think you would attract more ladies if you could improve on your English. Because I guess attracting ladies is your mission in life......I may be wrong, but just improve on your English . It's really bad, I must confess.

MOVE

ernesty20:
Type "move" in the comment box and send

Thanks. If I may ask, where is the comment box?

could somebody please tell me how to move a post from one section ,on nairaland, to another ? Thank you.

exxell:
So the guy couldnt find another Igbo girl to marry? Is he aware that his children will become hybreeds? And to think he is mixing it with a Yorubasstard is even more annoying. Igbos, stop marrying from other tribes that are not Igbo. They are making you loose your unique identity.... Be full blooded Igbo... Not mixed Igbo!!

Sir, what would you gain in being tribalistic? Just ask yourself, did anybody choose his/her tribe? what if you had been Hausa or Yoruba , would you commit suicide? It's a pity, big pity!

Did anybody notice 2face avoids 'touching' any of the girls in d pics? ..........D fear of Annie, ryt? lol

Bros, it depends on the kind of toilet!

Lyk seriously?isnt 6 the average?

So which size is the ideal?

pheyikemi:
What's the relationship between OAU and OYO STATE @ Op, why can't they protest in their state - OSUN

so they don't have parents in Oyo and beyond abi? It's a federal school for God's sake! Not an osun state owned school. Meanwhile, its high time all Nigeria students and by extension all youth rose against any form of oppression or injustice. we have been too cowardly for too long.

the movie is abt a true life story

Google titanic

That's not true. The story about the ship sinking is true, but the love story is fictional. It is not true! Check your facts please.

ojimbo:
how did he know that it was the woman that paid the tithe or was he at the offering pot checking on how much every member is dropping or is he trying to buy recognition? Nigerians are becoming more foolish as day goes on

This your comment is so so disheartening. It gave you away that you didnt bother to read the details before passing a comment. Please try and read it. Reading doesnt kill, it broadens the mind.

Photography President.

when I hear people say what you just typed, I get really disappointed. Is it that we can no longer think outside the box, despite being educated? Buhari is the president, and anywhere he is, pressmen are there. Should he stop them from taking his pictures? Or how do people think? When it is not that he goes about taking selfies............o ga o!

eme1n:
Good for you, don't hold a grudge, just keep a positive mind. Pray for those who tortured you.

That your advice is too casual. Do you know what he went through? If you know what real torture is, you would know it's not your business to advise the victim to forgive the perpetrators.

Am suprised some people are happy that the guys were killed. The guys were obviously conscripted into boko haram. They were tired of it and they wanted to surrender to the nigerian army. Anybody could have been conscripted, including you.

gidjah:
we've got some handful of gorillas who are more brilliant , Godly and well cultured with good manners Than the so called white supremacists , I am one of such.well cultured ,mannered and with good sense of morals than the average mr white skin.So I do not csre what sny one terms me. I care more about what God my Creator says about me

lol. That, to me, sounds like an inferiority complex-induced statement. It is well dear.
