unfortuanetly they are substandard articles, but thanks for sharing

the term 'Yoruba' or the bastardisation yoruba means 'thugs of the south'. it was the term used by the Hausa's of the north who felt culturally superior to the ancient yorubas. they had good reason to feel superior, their culture had significantly been influenced by Arabs who were millions of miles ahead of africans in terms of develoment. Also, islam sort of taught hausa's to look down on all non muslims as inferior infidels


the yorubas didnt regard themselves as a unit and so had no name to refer to themselves as a group. they recognised a common ancestor though; and refered to themselves as omo oduduwa or children of oduduwa.

The Arabs are not culturally superior to anyone, as no culture is superior to any other. The Arabs had the best medicine of the time, but that was basically one of the few things they boasted of at the time. Anyways I think if the Yoruba were indeed called Anago, prior to the 19th century then I would love eo refer to myself as an Anago.

But one thing that must be realised is that before foriegn occupation, the people that occupied present day Nigeria hated each other more than the do today, there was bloodshed everywhere, it didn't matter wether you spoke the same language or not if your village was far away then you were a stranger and the enemy. Yorubas probably didn't see themselves as an ethnic group, they were killing themselves as were other tribes in Nigeria. I think it will boil down to which name was used to indentify the people that occupied south western Nigeria initially. I don't think Yorubas saw each other as one people

Atiku is disqualified?

hmmm, I dey

I am not a Pre Kanu Arsenal fan, but I became a Gunner cos of Henry not Kanu

Why should the Us. give infidels and corrupt bastards visas. The only visa to a destination close to America that Atiku will ever get is to Guantanamo Bay Prison

Pat Utomi of course, who else, is it thieftiku or coupuhari or weak Adua

Bleep the court rule, I'll rather have Inec disobey the court in the best wishes of the nation than have them follow some ridiculous rule and see Nigeria turn to Hell Fire in the first second of Atiku's regime, God forbid

Why not, If Inec is making the right decision, which it is then Bleep the Senate
If the senate wants to ruin Nigeria then maybe it shouldn't be held credible

unfortunately I do hate you, so gerrout

what's the news on Buhari, Aka Coup head

Who gives a shit , iz prob juss some ehack event

Hey ronkarazo, where's it @?

What kind of stupiduty is this

Seun please lock this thread, I am outraged

[size=15pt]America must be crazy[/size], Tell me this is a joke, because I am outraged by this suggestion. Seems to me like America is still the same deal. They want political instabilty for Nigeria so that they can exploit the situation and benefit from it. They are doing it in Iraq, and they are trying to it now in Nigeria. America must be on drugs if they expect Nigeria to allow coorupt candidates to run. I will not oppose this, but if Nigeria must comply, then they must also allow corrupt people to run for their elction as a sign of their democracy. This is complete stupiddity. Nigeria is developing not stupid

God save us from the apprentices of the Devil!!!!!!!

Hmm beats me

But the name of this topic is more descriptive hence making the thread more prodeuctive than the other one

It's a Powerpool, so they pay us for the electricity that we supply and we pay them for the electricty that they may supply to us, If Congo DRC comes into the picture, then you can expect to enjoy fantastic electricity. The Dam under construction in the DRC can produce 30,000 megawatts of electricty

But no we aren't handing them out electricity on a silver paltter, we get the better end of the deal because the money we receive is more than what we are actually giving

This is a bit random but here it goes
I pray to God that Bill Gates will Buy out Arsenal

Just imagine the number of Players that will be at our disposal

*Diarra
*Odemwingie(We need young talent, not that Van Persie ins't good, but he's not black

*Oliver Khan(Just in case Buffon is stressed out)
*Bartez (Just to show off that we have him)
*David Seaman(We'll bring him back, just to leave him on the bench )
*Who else have I not mentioned, hmmm
* David Beckham (Also to leave him on the becnch (every team needs their bench warmers Lol))

*Gallas

*And many other players

As you can see the list is quite extensive, but this can be achieved if Bill Gates comes aboard

This is a great topic, because it is the truth, hate it or love it.

How many of you would be screaming "Chelsea for Life", if Abramovich decided to invest his money in something else

I'm back

school's over so i'm out

I don't get you, but what do you mean by it's not suited to Nigeria, that's just degenerate bull.
They are as suitable in Naija as they are in Gotham city. The comapnies that will build these buildings are experienced firms that will surely look after their own buildings, DUH!!!!!

dblock are you encouraged to challenge your teachers at all?

I don't challenge my teachers in authing, because you shouldn't make a statement or ask a question if it won't benefit you in anyway.

ok. when you're done designing your own buildings, put the pics up.
I'm sure they'll be awesome

I will, I've finished my first building but I still have to put in the finishing tourches, I'll post them here and then take them down, cos I don't wanna make a thread just for them

sharrap, I'm da winner

and da winner is Dblock messiah
