This is a useless comment by Obiano! No state can ever replace Lagos in investment destination. Not now and not in the foreseeable future.
The infrastructural development in Lagos dwarfs every state and the fools arguing their foolishness here should be better informed.

'peaceful IPOB attacked Ekweremadu and beat him up. That's a sure way to be peaceful

How many Igbo's came out to condemn the harassment of Ekweremadu by IPOB, numerous? Some applauded it with some Igbo's castigated the beating.
But how many Fulani's have come out to condemn the activities of Miyetti Allah?

gwarotango:
Oh so it's now a favor not to kill someone? Anyway Nnamdi Kanu ordered his IPOB to kill any fulani they can lay their hand on so I'm n surprised

Someone said and didn't act on it and a Miyetti Allah that said and has been acting on it are what?
IPOB are peaceful in orientation while your demonic Fulani Miyetti Allah needs to be banished back to wherever they come from.
You people are the malaria affecting the north. The killings you instigate in Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Benue, Nassarawa and Taraba will forever keep hunting you as well as those carried out in the program that led to the civil war.

olisaEze:
As laudable as your statement is sir, I am yet to hear any northern elder say the same whenever people of ibo descent are threatened by northern elements. BTW, Oga Germany nor dey ur travel plans dis year?

You are yet to hear a northern elder say this? There are many northerners like the Emir of Bida who would rather kill his own than allow them ferment trouble against Ndigbo in his state.
Because majority of the ACF or NEF members are callous in attitude doesn't mean that you don't have sincere ones in the north.

Nnamdi Kanu despite his commitment to the Biafran cause should learn to be open to all interest and calibers of people.
Nnia Nwodo and the SE Governors forum were elected by their people and from recent events these individuals have never been silent in matters that concern the Igbo people. The Operation Python dance wasn't their call. Oh, yes they were lukewarm in challenging the Buhari led military order, but Kanu didn't give them an iota of respect after being informed to lay low while given bail.
Did Kanu listen? He didn't and went all out with his 'No Election, No Referendum' mantra, even to the extent of travelling to several places to hold rallies. Kanu knew the court decision in finally granting him bail as well as the political risk those who surety him took.

sreamsense:
I believe several factors were put in consideration for the cut-off, the cut-off mark from the west is low because of numbers of other public secondary schools available, candidates already spread to other available public and private secondary schools available which relieve pressure on unity schools in the west. Public secondary schools in Oyo alone not to talk of Lagos and Osun or numbers of standard private secondary schools is huge; more pubils applied to other public and private schools which put less pressure on unity secondary schools in the south-west

That of the north is due to low numbers of enrollment to unity schools and being academically disadvantaged

This old 2014 statistics can suggest idea, even though lots must have been changed and more secondary public and private secondary schools must have been created in each state in Nigeria

Story. The gospel truth is that the South West is doing badly in education. Your governors and stakeholders need to sit up and do something about this fall.
In the case of the north, nothing can change their generational educational backwardness. I think it's time the north stop looking for favours through quota system and fully integrate Qur'anic education.
You can't give what you don't have. Rather you breed lazy cheats and those always looking for government handouts. There is need to scrap unity schools in places like Yobe and Zamfara and enforce technologically advance almajiri education.

Barbilius:
Well, at least the skull mining is on our land, how about una wey dey commit atrocious crimes both home and away. Should we start reeling out names of igbos who have committed crimes in the SW-Evans readily comes to mind. That ratio of Yorubas committing crime in Igbo land to igbos doing same to Yorubaland Will be 1: 50

This is the internet age stop lying. The inventors of highway robbery, kidnapping and rituals originated from the SW. The early Igbo settlers in Lagos and Ibadan exported it to the east.
How can a son be greater than a father? The Yoruba's are the inventors of crass killings from cultism, ogboni, abobaku, Oro skull harvest, operation wetie, gbomo gbomo and Shina Rambo armed robbery crew.
Before Evans there was Gbomo Gbomo!

coolzeal:
This university should be sold to private corporation and also, plant lots of palm trees all around to give it that aesthetical look.

Sold to which private! It should be renamed to Imo State University Ogboko. IMSU Owerri should be relocated to place ASAP.

Horror! I see no end in the Boko Haram insurgency. Watching such videos on a daily basis is enough to ginger Shakau and ISWAP in their revenge for blood.
May God forgive this country.

An Afonja will always support his lord.

A prophet is not regarded in his home! But history will be kind to John Obi Mikel. Once a legend, always a legend

Elemosho478:
All what you wrote is full of gibberish and absolute fallacy

Nupe now Yoruba?

Olukumi people are Yoruba cry harder

I can't teach a tapa history for free, first trace your roots before saying gibberish about others.
Olukumi's are Yoruba's are you happy now? Ondo and Osun are their dialectical brothers. Their people eat Amala and ewedu. Tiger clawed mark adorn their faces. Kunle, Abike and Ajasin are their lovely names.
Let the celebration begin in Oduduwa land.

fowlyansh181:
thats still lesbianism, a man should marry a woman and a woman should marry a man, not this nonsense up here.. I’m Igbo and fck this culture.

It's not Lesbianism. You can spot the difference! You don't Bleep a culture you don't know. The culture is widely practiced in Igboland and has really helped a lot of Ladies have children of their own.

oyatz:
So you know more about the Okukumis than they know themselves? What do you know about the Yorubas?
Have you read their History?

The problem with most Yoruba's is the militant fascination you have for the Olukumi people of Delta north. Yes, its obvious that the Olukumi clan still retain some linguistical links similar to the Yoruboid language, however the truth remains that this people are now fully part of the Igbo nation in the past, present and in the future.
Don't forget that centuries have long passed, generations have come and gone when the Olukumi's long sojourned to their current abode. How on earth will a rational human being begin to start running amok on Wikipedia, sponsoring online propaganda in the cyberspace to now want them to turn around and become Yoruba overnight?
It's similar to the Nupes of Oyo who are now fully Yoruba's and no longer Nupe. Same goes for the Akoko's in Ondo, who are now Yoruba and no longer Edo. Same goes for the Eko people in Lagos who are are Aworis and no longer Edos. And same goes for the Igbo's in Bonny who are now Ijaws and no longer Igbo's.
You guys don't know the problems you are fanning amongst the Olukumi's in Aniocha North LGA. Do you know the distance that seperates them from the South West? Do you know the cultural and traditional affiliations that unites them with Ndigbo? Do you know the emotional affiliation of the Biafran war, the post civil war marginalization, and political cum economic survival of Ndigbo of which they are part of? Maybe you don't understand.
Do you know the centuries of brotherhood and peaceful coexistence that binds them with Ndigbo to the extent that we now tag their clan as the Olukumi clan of the Igbo people. Note, Igbo people and not Yoruba people.
Don't be surprised that Ndigbo see the manner at which some of you (both press and individual groups) are trying so hard to ginger them to begin a cultural revolution that may in time if foolishly not discontinued may lead to mistrust and send them evicted to your beloved embrace in the south west. But such acts, we shall never do, and so we expect you to accept them for who they are now and not what they were 400 centuries ago.
You Yoruba nationalist should stop fanning the embers of division amongst us and our brothers the Olukumi's, because what makes us Igbo is stronger than what doesn't connect. It is actually not a big deal to marvel at the preservation of some retained Olukumi Yoruboid dialect, but you should also know that they are now, Igbos and even have an Olukumi dialect of the Igbo language too. The Olukumi you think is Yoruba is only a few preserved word, which is fully Igbo in sentence and structure. You guys should be guided.

The Olukumi people are Yoruba

Check up the edited version and celebrate the family reunion.

Go and Change their History if you can


Olukumi people are Yoruba and will always be Yoruba

I believe celebrations are ongoing in all Yoruba towns and forums. Enough Eyan, Amala, Gbegiri and Ewedu with fresh palm wine will be used to celebrate a family reunion of the Olukumi to the Yoruba fold. Kunle and Saheedi must be jubilating now. This celebration go bad gan.
But please, did the Olukumi tell you they are Yoruba's? Olukumi is Olukumi, Yoruba is Yoruba.
I don't know why you Yoruba's like attaching yourselves to the Igbo's. If it's not marrying Igbo wives, na to come rewrite Omo Igbo history.
The other day it was Ooni telling the world that Ile-Ife is is the origin of the Igbos. Today, the Yoruba's are trying all means possible to deep their hands into Igbo territories. Despites all the affiliations, have the Igbo's at any time drag all the Igbo sounding towns in Yoruba land? Why can't you guys allow us be for once. The Olukumi's you're carrying their matter for head like gala no even send una work. To them, the Yoruba's are another tribe who dislikes their people and who helped commit genocide against them during the civil war.
Olukumi's are not Yoruba's! Go find your brothers in Benin republic and the North Central. The Olukumi's are part and parcel of Igboland.

Its like saying the sun does not shine. Who says that?

The sun must always shine.

pinkPUSSY:
Wikipedia ?... I give up!
How come they have Obi instead of Oba through Okpala Obi system.. ?

When did Yoruba's start adopting Obi as their traditional ruler instead of Oba ?
I don't have time for blind argument..

Abeg help me check am. There are no tricks our brother's from the West won't pull on Wikipedia

FisifunKododada:
Is that so? East_link you sabi lie o! Tell me more, sometimes I enjoy listening to tales by lantern light

Lol! . But check out the fact abeg. Between Olukumi and Yoruba who come first. Please who's older than the other. If Olukumi comes first and if Yoruba is a recent invention, don't you think that Olukumi should be the ancestors of the Yoruba's?
Check am abeg

Elemosho478:
Shut up , why do you guys love crying even when no one is beating you?


The Olukumi people never denied their migration from Ondo

They are Yoruba and you can go slam your head against the wall

Olukumi are not Yoruba's! They may have migrated from somewhere in Ondo but they are not Yoruba's. They have no link to Oduduwa sons or lineages. Their link with the Yoruba's is only on linguistic grounds.
On close grounds, the Olukumi's are older than the Yoruba's and may be seen as the ancestors of the Yoruba's and Itshekiri's.

FisifunKododada:
East_link calm down now. You seeing things that are not there. Olukunmis been descendants of Yoruba has never been up for debate. Is like trying to debate the existence of the sun - its an exercise if futility.

Yoruba's are the descendants of the Olukumi's and not the other way round. The Olukumi's predates the Yoruba's fact.

olisaokere:
Lol..you didn’t even complete the names of the people stated as olukumi people from your write up..let me add other names of olukumi people


Nduka Ugbade - (Former Nigerian football star and coach)
Helen Anyamelune - (Former Miss Nigeria)

Those guy have been editing Wikipedia pages with alien Yoruba names. We know their pranks, Lol! Mozin Ogooluwa ko Mozi ni..

Elemosho478:
[s]The Olukumi people in Anioma are Yoruba

You guys should take note[/s]

You guys have done a good job editing Wikipedia pages, with fictitious Yoruba sounding names with all intent to connect Anioma to Yoruba links too. Una try! But at the end the Olukumi's remain Igbo's till this date. Even the word Olukumi pre-dates the Yoruba abi na Oyoruba identity.
Keep fighting a losing battle. As far as Ndigbo and the Olukumi's themselves are concerned the Oyoruba tag is dead on arrival. Go look for your siblings in Ilorin, Kabba and Benin republic. Yoruba map west of the Niger ends in Ondo.

anonymous1759:
You don't own a big business that's why you're talking trash. Hausa's don't value property but you people do if it starts you'll know who will cry the most.

Hausa don't value property my ass, tell that to the Dangote's, Abdulsamad's and other business men in the south. Well these are Hausa men and not Fulani's, because Fulani don't usually have properties in the south. It's really a shame that the Hausa's unfortunately feel the brunt of actions of the Fulani's.

Basher8583:
You dont need a country to leave together as igbos unless you habour selfish intent.
Stay in your region first. Build it to an enviable feat to compete with Lagos. Your Govnors already have autonomy on the states resources so whats the noise about a separate country all about.
Or are u using lazy man's format for us?
All your silly talk is trash. Wat structur? wat building? Theres is no market dominated by Igbos that is not in a total mess

Have you ever built any city to the standard of Lagos in your own region. Keep kwayet and stop deraling the topic.

gwarotango:
Why can't the albino terrorist also reciprocate by ordering his own people to leave the north en mass? I think its high time the north expels the IPOB aliens within their midst too. Let it be a game of tit for tat, lets see who has the most to lose

Fulani herdsmen were called to order and the north became jittery. When did Fulani become the sole ethnic group in the north?
If the Fulani led north want's to play the eviction card, then the south will give them full dose. Southerners leaving the north also means the eviction of both Hausa, Kanuri, Nupe, gbagyi and all the treacherous minorities in the same north supporting their evil masters. We know all these servants, mind you.
All northerners in all the oil facilities in the Niger Delta will be evicted, all the northern seafarers in the south will find their way, Bureau d changers of northern origin, bankers, textile dealers, civil servants and all will be evicted.
Then, let's see who wins the tit for tat.

Is this a family reunion Tomakint or you're becoming noslagic of the post 2015 nairaland politics section.

The Latino's will be the major casualties, as well as the illegal Arab immigrants. Nigerians won't be affected except those with criminal records. We form the bulk of the professionals adding value to the American economy.

Bighead9:
God bless you.
Other Nigerians are actually doing Igbo's a favor, by allowing them freely leave and do Business in other regions peacefully.
After they have turned their tiny under-developed region to the Crime head quarters of the World.

I guess the skull miners ritualising the SW are from the moon? Or the bandits wiping out the north from the face of the earth are from Jupiter?

Tribal Bigots are masturbating on the thread! Una weldone Nde 'We SS'.

toprealman:
The game we all should be watching is Argentina Scotland.
Draw: Falcon qualifies
Argentina win: Falcon out
Scotland win: by high goal margin: Falcon out

Argentina winning only gifts them the third best loser spot. It will finally boil down to the match between Cameroon vs New Zealand. As well as that of Chile if they can beat Thailand by a 3 goal margin.
The Red Card against France has damaged our goal margin chances of qualifying.
But let's hope for the best.
