Afonjas celebrating Buhari for recognizing Abiola as if Buhari was not among the conspirators that denied him the seat talk about gullibility.

Afonjas did nothing for the murder of Abiola and his wife talk about cowardice.

The so called ethnic groups are not actually homogenous in culture, tradition, and language. Most of these ethnic groupings were based on the majority of people constituting a region and not the languages per se. Taking ondo for instance the arogbo and Apoi people are not Yorubas but the whole ondo is usually seen as purely Yorubas.

N.B these are people that don't understand each other at all



☣ ☠
To me o Igbo as an ethnic group is homogeneous. Although dialectal differences do occur but. It's still Igbo. I don't understand how an ethnic group will be speaking another man's language and still be claiming different entity. Hausa serves as a lingua Franca in the North, but those other tribes that speak it still have their own language. Now if you have only Hausa as your tongue how are you a separate ethnic group.

Which ethnic group is that and I hope those Languages are not dialects?

Obinkuru:
some ethnic groups replaced their language with another(unintentionally).its only in the north sha,where d lingual there is Hausa
So you mean to tell me this happened to a whole 250 other Ethnic groups?
PoliticsWhy Does Nigeria Have 250 Ethnic Groups But 515 Languages? by derealj(op):
I've come to notice that the Languages in Nigeria are listed as 515 but the Ethnic groups are only slightly more than 250. Does it mean that some ethnic groups have more than one language? If so what are the bases for classifying them as a separate Language. What are your thoughts??

I just wanted to let you to have certain information about Ogun State which to you is the most hopeless...for your info, Ogun State is the second most rich state after Lagos out of the 36 states...The IGR is only second to Lagos State...So if States were to stand on their own today, Ogun State has the second best chance to survive ...only Lagos State is more prosperous that Ogun State in terms of internally Generated Revenue followed by those South-South States.

Do you still think they are hopeless?

Please leave that person. I know a lot of Delta Igbos who will get upset by just calling them "Delta Igbo ". They say that's how we marginalise them, I'm even surprised :oTo them Igbo is Igbo anywhere. The person Behind that moniker might not even come from anywhere around the Niger Delta.
