Don't mind that guy, Uyo would be an El Dorado and majority of their billionaires would be spending multi-millions on owning a house in the Lagos he was trying to condemn. He stated that apart from the Island, nothing is in Lagos until I made him see that the Omole, the Okota, the Festac, the Ikeja, the Yaba, the Magodo, the Ogudu, the Surulere are on the mainland and are quite better in term of development to whatever his Uyo may present.
Even the slums in Lagos are better than most parts of Akwa Ibom state. Or can he compare Ajegunle, Makoko, Bariga, Orile, Oworo et all with all the villages in Akwa Ibom? These slums are regarded as such by the standard of the City of Lagos but are better than an average town in many other states. That's the basic truth.

Are you maaad? Comparing Ajegunle and makoko to villages many of which are oil producing? Are you maaad? What rubbish have you been reading about the Niger delta? Makoko the worst slum in Africa. You are stupid

How can it be 300years, when Lord Luggard created/ discovered Nigeria in 1914

Do the maths Bro!

So there was nobody in Nigeria before him abi?

Freeminda:
Lol. Imagine when Yoruba finally get independence, some people will go back to 20th century.

Including those rejoicing above. Yoruba land is where you make a living and you still hate the Yorubas so much

Straight to the point, Zamfara state government should remember Nigeria is made of three major ethnic group Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. In times of PANDEMIC, INSECURITY (including war), Yoruba has every right to guard and safe her people.

If you feel uncomfortable, get sniper

You are a big fool. What does 3 major ethnic group has to do with this Which of those ethnic groups are funding our budget?
Stupid ethnocentric idiot

Jasonjay101:
Please I'm new here on this platform and I just want some advice to clear my mind.

Let me just go straight to the point. My girl that we've been dating for a year plus now just told me a week ago that she lived a couple's life with her ex back in school right from when she entered 300l (4yrs course) and the guy 400l (5yrs course) and I've not been able to get over it.

It happened a week ago, we were together and she saw a post of her ex engagement to his current girlfriend and she started feeling bad, so I asked her what happened and a little bit angry with her thinking maybe she was not over her ex yet. She told me she has gotten over him but she just remembered her past so I try to console her to let go and if there's something she hasn't told me yet about her past that is still eating her up she can tell me because before now we've talked about a lot of things about our past and we've try to forgive each other and let the past be in the past.

She had told me it was this only guy she had dated and it was the same guy that disvirgined her. I was not bothered about that because I was not a virgin either. She told me she has moved on even before I came and she stayed for close to a year to heal up and all through this time I was asking her out but she never said yes and never told me she was going through heart break.

Now, it's a year and few months into our relationship, she's been a very good girl, supportive and hard working. And now she just told me this, coupled with some lies she has used to cover it up in some of our previous conversations about her school life.

I'm not perfect either and I've had my past which I have told her. I never lived a couples life back in school and it was only a girl I've also had anything sexual relationship to do with.

Why am emotionally down now is because I know what it is like to live a couples life in school. I never lived as one but I know of people that lived as such in school and I know what happens.

Now I don't know if I can forget about this and we move on. I love this girl so much and she has shown to also love me as much and I've tried to forget about what happened but most times when I see her now I tend to always remember and it eats me up.

Do you guys think I can forget about this?

I'm not an authority on this sort of issues but I think what she feels is regret for having wasted 2yrs of her life with the said guy, she now realize that all the sacrifices and decision she made with him wasn't worth it hence the deep feeling of sadness and regret. Next thing she would feel is fear, yeah because she would be afraid you might do the same thing to her hence she might seem to want to distance herself from you for a while but you might think it's because she still loves her ex, which is still a huge possibility. The only solution to this, is if you love her, just tell her you her that and also let her know that you are not like her ex and provided everything goes as planned you won't leave her and lastly you both should attend the wedding together

Nowenuse:
50-50, just the way Pidgin/English and Yoruba is like 50-50 in Lagos.

Oh much better answer. I thought kanuri was dominant as the largest minority in the North. I saw "kasuwan" something in the picture of one road and I know that should be hausa was why I asked

Arrewa:
here you go! Maiduguri!

Very very decent. Is kanuri/hausa the street lingo of maiduguri?

No correlation with the matter on ground
Absolutely zero

Yujin:
Badagry belongs to the Ogu people. They Yorubas call them Egun. They are not Yorubas neither are they Yoruboid but a good number of them understand and speak the Yoruba language alongside their own. The king of Badagry bears the title 'Akran'. This is a non Yoruba word. His name is De Aholu Menu Toyi I. The Yorubas will always write his title as Oba Akran of Badagry to confuse unsuspecting people but the Ogus will write it as The Akran of Badagry. Just check Google right away to confirm what I wrote here. The age of lies is gone forever.

There is nothing Yoruba about egun o. I don't think he has heard that language at all. It closer to togolese languages and even Edo sounds more similar

Urhobos don't own that land . Ibos own it. Chase them out to Benin where they came from!

Must u peddle malicious & mendatious fabrications about Urhobos and Okpe's on nairaland in a bid to sound intelligent?? Niqqa learn to keep shut whenever you lack facts. My Father's mother is from oviri-okpe of okpe local government delta state & so i'm okpe by history. Urhobo Has Over 24 kingdoms & The Orodje Of Okpe HRM Brigadier General Mujakpero, Ororo 1 is the most respected king in urhoboland, Because okpe kingdom is d largest kingdom with over 117 Communities in urhoboland. The orodje of okpe belongs to D council of urhobo kings & okpe is a part & parcel of UPU d umbrella body of all urhobos. I Wonder Wat u'all gain from peddling falsehood

FrLukas:
Mr Eugene, no need to try and lecture me on your history. I'm not interested. Let the people you are trying to co-opt speak for themselves.

For example, Itshekiri people are decidedly Yoruboid. Yet they have formed a separate identity for themselves.

If they want to join Yorubas when this contraption called Nigeria fails is up to them and they will be welcomed with a warm embrace. If they choose to stay away, it's up to them. The link will always be there.

But not you. Everything na agidi, stronghead.

Itsekiri is not Yoruba, abeg go and sit down. Apart from linguistic affinity what else do you have in common?

They Don't eat amala and slimy ewedu

They don't 50/50 (religion) like you

They don't do owomida @scholes

They don't have the same culture

mbaise1000:
I know of Togo and benin republic citizens who speak yoruba and no body is coming to nairaland at every opportunity they got to dispute their ancestry, there are fulanis from every part of africa in nigeria no one is trying to separate them, why is it that all of nigeria is all the time jittery and shaking like dry leaves during rainy season at everything igbo?

Which Fulani dey every part of Africa?

Here we go again with this argument, south Easterners don't c Anioma as Igbo. I have seen this first hand

Sanchez01:
So you are basically basing your argument on whether or not they have a Bible in their language?

Ororokpe is one of the groups that make up the Urhobo ethnic group. Note that Okpe is one of the tribes that make up the Urhobo Nation, similarly to what applies with the Igbos where there are Wawa Igbos, the Northern Igbo tribe, and there are the Southern Igbo tribe, the Western Igbo tribe, the Eastern Igbo tribe, and the Northeastern Igbo tribe. Each of these five can be further divided into subgroups based on specific locations and names. Of course, I won't delve into that.

And then there is the many subgroups of the Yorubas where you have variations and in some cases, tough languages quite different from the regular Yoruba Language.

The Ororokpe language is tough and most, if not all Urhobos can neither speak nor understand the language save you grow up among them. The reverse is often the case for the Okpe people as most of them who get close to the Urhobo speaking folks tend to understand the language.

The Wawa Igbo language or Wawa language, particularly that of Ebonyi is tough on the ear of the typical Igbo man. But does it make the Wawa people of Ebonyi any less Igbos?

The Ife language of the Yoruba people is somewhat unique and different from the regular Yoruba people, just as the Ìjẹ̀bú language is. It still doesn't make them any less Yorùbá.

All of these subgroups I mentioned, whether among the Igbos or the Yorubas are all branches of the main tree, just as Ororokpe is a subgroup of the larger Urhobo.

You spend your time in the travel section but argue like a caveman who has never left his cave before? You should take take out some time to study before testing your knowledge in this section.

Okpe that sounds like Edo with some isoko words here and there

where Do you reside in Delta ?.. I might recommend some books for you .. What school re your ward attending ?.. Most schools in warri teach Urhobo as one of there subject.. The earlier the better..

That means, a lot urhobo children would woefully fail their mother tongue in urhobo land

funnyboss:
And one meforyou1 was busy shouting the north has no infrastructure. Was even comparing Kano with Anambra fa.
The Northerners don't play with infrastructures unlike south and especially South-south. As in I pity the South-southerners. They don't know how much they are being robbed of their governments. The politicians can just use the hausa/fulani talk to brainwash and blind them while they siphon their funds. I mean they are supposed to receive certain percentage (of oil derivatives) 13% I guess? But what is happening? State government nko? They are supposed to tax oil companies and wells but wetin happen? I just pity them. They are truly the ones suffering from bad leadership. I pray God opens their eyes. Only Uyo and they are few sef. So far I think the west's got the best set of leaders in Nigeria. My personal opinion though. Followed by the north. (And Enugu ONLY)

Where in the south south have you been?
Last I travel to Delta State. From Edo border to my village in isoko south was tared except the ughelli - asaba which is still under reconstruction
In my village, an oil producing community, all the godamn roads are tarred, All!!They have even started opening up farmlands and building roads that lead to nowhere. Then in my lga hq. You can't find an untarred road. Although human capital development needs to be improved considerably. It is nowhere near as hopeless as you people paint it
The major cities of warri, asaba, etc still needs more work tho

Go through both links, they both show figures for last year 2019. Ogun was #52B while Rivers was #107B>(#52Bx2)

NigerianSage:
Rivers generated N112 Billion

Ogun state generated N84 Billion

N84 billion x 2 = 168 billion


So, Rivers did not generate twice that of Ogun state.

What you gave me is 2018. What you quoted is 2019. Please don't annoy me
