[quote author=M-16]Yorubas are useless set of people that has this high profile when ever you ran into them , After railing through this useless NAIRALAND JUNK hosted i.p board forum, any body can host from any where .I have determined to Hate any thing in fact every thing about Yoruba . living in this wicked world one can not be forced to live with his staunch enemy ,I do not hesitate to live my life but one thing i do know ,is that any single Yoruba person is my enemy ,I might be wrong but GIVING the fact that majority of yoruba have one reason or the other in hating igbo's because when majority carries the vote you don't need an assistance to remind you that your life is in danger .I have not seen where a Yoruba man sided or talk good about igbo's . You Igbo keep sleeping and keep trusting GOD ,as God will never come down to liberate you from the hands of your notorious # 1 arch enemy , Yoruba .foolish igbo Keep befriending Yoruba ,stop chit chatting with YORROBERS they are not your friend ,heaven have to come down before you believe.[/quote]since you've now admitted to hating yoruba you can pack you nylon bags and move east. perhaps we would have more peace with you not around anymore.

My friend the fact that you can speak where I am speaking tells me that something must be wrong with your head.
something must really be wrong with his head to speak where an slowpoke is speaking.

Elueme: That one! We should give kudos to her for summoning courage to utter a word in the chambers after two years of acting like a statue. My only surprise is that she doesn't even understand her own statement, she also wanted to talk since others are talking and since talk is cheap so she talked the talk

well you are right at that. if talk is not cheap you dumbasses on the nairaland wouldn't be gibbering nonsense.

bashr8: ojukwu did no lead anybody to anywhere , nigeria agreed on aburi accord in ghana and when they came back gowon rejected it, gowon attacked bisfra and gowons govt was illegal to start with .learn some history at least

towing attacked ibos at ore abi? why don't you talk like a human for once.

CyberG: Can you tell us how many German soldiers died of starvation while prosecuting a war on Soviet ground in WW 2? You mean when Marshal Zhukov cut off Von Paulus 6th Army, he waited to have them receive their food and supplies before continuing the battle? Tell us exactly.

You want to use battle of Stalingrad to explain warfare to an iboman? he wouldn't understand! please let them continue to blame ghosts. that's the only strategy they understand.

All of you are just yammering and yabbing, yet you refused to point out why ibos lost the war.
1. ibos fought a modern war with cutlass and charms.
2. they fought with food insecurity.
3. they were new to any form of warfare.
4. they fought modern warfare without allies.
5. they fought without proper strategic plans.
6. they went for the offensive against a better equipped opponent.
7. they attacked the west!

pazienza: Biafra lives in the heart of any noble igboman,both the vocal and non vocal ones, am glad biafra still lives in the heart of achebe.One Nigeria, a country built on the blood of millions of igbos is living on borrowed time. The next biafran war would be fought differently.

hen!hen! learn from your mistakes and errors to fight the next one differently instead of blaming others that won. but tell your would be strategists to play defense before attack, if you attack the west again you will be beaten over and over again. maybe then you won't need to blame anyone.

afam4eva: I don't know how true this claim is and even if it's true, it doesn't mean that it's an Igbo town.

but if its lagos you would believe it.
I almost forgot...you are already claiming it to be Ibo City.

truth about prostrating in Yoruba culture.
1. you bow your head lightly to someone a little older or honored as a sign of respect.
2. you bend your head with your hand touching your knee or the ground to an elderly.
3. you fall completely on the floor if you offend someone(s) or if you are requesting for something unwilling to give out.
4. pre-colonial: you fall on the floor rolling in complete humility if you offend an older and powerful individual.
so prostrating during wedding shows that you are seriously demanding their daughter which they are unwilling to give out. it's a sign that you are begging with humility for someone you love.

[quote author=conn-kg]Please, I do not want to create confusion, but I would like to ask:

How do present-day ibos relate?

"Egho" sounds like "ego", meaning money in ibo language.
Nosamega, you saying something there?

No offence, please. Just say what you know.

_{I'm learning AND nodding. Naija go make am!}[/quote]this is strictly Yoruba-Edo (family)matter, don't bring ibos into it.

Aigbofa: I did and I answered your question. If you don't have the urge to take the next Ekenedili Chukwu whenever there's uncertainty in Lagos, then you are a Lagosian.

simpulu!

Ngodigha: In that case only Eguns are Lagosians. Others are immigrats to Lagos.

you're an insufferable ignoramus! do you want to claim that people of ikorodu epe and ibeju are not indigenes of lagos?!

Ngodigha: Minus this few you mentioned, others claim Lagos state. It is nice though for them to see pride in their towns. Probably, they are following your footsteps.

this goat is extremely stubborn. if you mention a few more names he will still stand on his 'minus these few 'more'.

saxywale: Oh boi, I am not igbo. Infact, I am an Ife Prince from the Oshikola ruling family (The same fam that produced the former governor of the Western Region).

The op asked for meaning of a lagosian, I don't think he is asking for "state of origin". I was born and bred in Lagos, sure that makes me a lagosian but I am not indigenous to Lagos.

you've said it all. now to explain it for better comprehension, a lagosian is:
an indigence of Lagos.
born and bred in lagos.
that can speak the language of lagos.
if you fall into any of the category you qualify.
so afam are you a lagosian?

afam4eva: Where did i make that assertion? lagos doesn't belong to anyone. It's owned by the NIgerian state under the law even though it's indigenous to Yorubas. The constitution supersedes anything and everything.

now we are getting somewhere. if Lagos doesn't belong to anyone how are yorubas indigenes?
you are just going round and roundabout trying to prove a point. come on, spit it out.

Austinodark: 50 percent of the population in Lagos re IGBOS,we control the economy there and all over Nigeria with our various businesses,whether Yoruba like it or not.We re always Superior to them

bark! bark! bark!
animal

Antivirus92: and dis useless Yoruba won't leave us alone for once. We will sacrifice our live for our mother land. No be we go die abi na you? Why not leave us alone ? Fool @ 70

if you are serious about sacrificing your life, why are you still talking? take action now rather than barking every time.

Obiagu1: If need be, Ajegunle, if it's contiguous to Festac State, will be added to the new state and redeveloped. Development is what we know how to do best.

Talk is cheap, especially for mad men like you. why is your east so depraved of development.

anybody can claim any land as his own, its easy to draw out lines on a map and claim it as your land. I bet yorubas can say their land reach beyond forcados and Hausa can claim osogbo as part of their land(well, they are claiming otta already). it is not for anybody to say except the people concerned to determine who they are, town by town, village by village by vote. this is how all modern boundary lines should be drawn and lets forget boundary lines created in myths.

Freksy: Scientists have long believed that the earth revolved around the sun, which was stationary. This caused them to scoff at the following verses which, they said, taught the opposite…

"Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race. Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end;And there is nothing hidden from its heat". -Psalms 19:4-6 (NKJV)

However it was later discovered that the sun is in fact moving through space at an average velocity of 828,000 km/hr. It is traveling through the heavens and has a "circuit", just as the Bible says. It is estimated that its circuit is so large, it would take 230 million years to complete one orbit.

This discovery is very recent when compared to when Psalm 19:4-6 was written......more than 2000 years ago.

Oyawuni, the bible is not a science textbook, but it's almost always ahead of man whenever it deals on scientific issues.

Please note, when God created man, He never said they should not explore the universe and discover what He has in stored for them, provided they do not go contrary to His will, like what Nimrod and his men attempted to do many many years ago.

Man is creative simply because God created man in His image.

bro, their is no circuit in Hebrew. go and check direct translations from JWs.

the Bible is as accurate as a myth. science is as accurate as a fact.

was he not the one that gave the first boko haram's leader family 100m in february?

[quote author=Kay-Dee][size=13pt] I was in school (Univ.) and there was a mini-strike so I didn't go to class, TV was locked on CNN when news of the 1st crash came in as 'breaking news' and the 2nd plane crash as 'live news'. [/size][/quote]I just left the trade center and was trekking along the third street 'murray' to the center when the first crash happened, everybody thought it was an accident. i saw the second plane when it flew around a building before it hit the 2nd tower.

amaba: PDP - power to the people. decampees r those without any hope. It is the d only party with broad national coverage unlike other regional parties like ACN, CPC, ANPP, APGA...

the reason why Nigeria is such a dis functional state 'broad national coverage'... ha! you mean to say PDP is a virus. i understand you

y2kaustin: ...Reason why ur stil squalorin in abject poverty,turn to God.He's the truth and d light.

I hope you are living in a touched house somewhere in lekki, if not you should give yourself a serious headwash. you want to tell us that its your righteousness that pays your income in Nigeria. mumu.

jackbauersballs: Both I suppose...

God will not let his servants get blown up by those raggedy islamic vagabonds...

GEJ wont either...

Dummy, you are really deluded.

musKeeto: But Jesus sat with the tax collectors, didn't he?

then these pastors should go and sit with agberos. if they want to mimic jesus, cos tax collectors dont exist in the context anymore.

lagerwhenindoubt: For those who think God will Judge.. here is a nasty kicker for you... God has already Judged Nigeria decades ago.. the Worlds 3rd Largest Christian Majority and 5th Largest Muslim Majority with all their prayers cannot even make a positive change in the fortunes of Nigeria.. add one retar.ded drunk and shoeless fisherman to the broth.. guess what you have?

a country sunk in sea of shekpe.

Adaeze003: ^ Easy bro.. Do not judge!

Why not? if its seun's or someone else picture that is there you'll probably rain fore and thunder on them. Proper Nigerian, they are fooling you, you are lightening the candle.

ifyalways: ^ ^ after a bowl of amala, I have seen with clear eyes, the errors in my initial translation.

Mosunmola : I'm closer to my riches.

Atinuke : I'm pampered from the tummy. Pampered even before birth.

you still miss it. Mosunmola means closer to wealth not riches. Yoruba clearly differentiate between wealth and riches. wealth is ola riches is oro like or-or
