RedboneSmith:
Adding 'r' or 'h' at the end of words like Udo and Uzo has nothing to do with dialect.

AdeizaPaul:
Why are most Igbos Anglicizing the spelling of traditional words?

I mean for example a word like Iwa- they spell as Iwah
Ude is now Udeh

Udo (falling tone) is now Udor

Many words now end in: eh, uh, or, eh, ah.
Quite unlike before.

I have even seen many now spelling the old form Okpara as 'Okparah'

LionDeLeo:
Anambra election?

So last last, the election go hold?

Python is a deadly reptile.

Udmaster:
Statistics shows that Anambra is home to the largest number of gays in nigeria,
80% of Anambra guys are homosexuals,
they have turned unizik into sodom and gomorra,
they even have a ghetto in Anambra where their guys sell their ass for money,
Buhari should do something about it

IamZod:
So If I say "Who am I speaking with?
And Whom am I speaking with?

Which of the two are grammatically correct?

freeDR:
A little more expatiation on the use of "who" and "whom" will be appreciated. Thanks.

Confused977:
Good afternoon everyone here. I have been an ardent of this forum so, I felt it wouldn't be bad to bare my heart here as I know I'd surely get an advice that will make me see clearer. Please bear with me as I am not very perfect when it comes to expressing my self in writing. Pls pardon my write-up should you see it as too long. I just want to bare it all so one can know what to tell me. Thanks.
My Name is Amanda. I lost my parents when I was sixteen . I am from a family of five. I was about to sit for WAEC before the sudden demise of my parents. I had to drop out of school cus I couldn't pay bills and my older siblings were still struggling, so I got a job. I worked as a cleaner say for 2 years and I was able to save up something and enrolled for WAEC AND GCE and I passed. I tried my first admission it didn't so the second year someone told me to try a Polytechnic and fortunately I got admitted. I joined school but I kept working and I saved up some bucks and at the end of my ND at federal poly Auchi my G. P was 3.40 yes! I cried for joy.
I. T (Industrial Training) started and I felt it would make more sense If I could start something little within my environment. Since I knew a lot about female bags and wears I held on to the idea and started. My customer base grew as I went from department to department showing and convincing the "big girls" in school about my goods. I approached just anybody so long you female. I kept moving at that pace until I was heavily sought after. My room became my boutique.
Why I am confused now
All glory to God I have been able to establish a good relationship with people who sale to me on credit which allows me own varieties and sell more.
1. Not to exaggerate, I make a minimum of 40 to 45k a month as my own.
2. I ain't rich but I think I am comfortable for a young lady of my age. I will be 24 3rd October.
I focused more on my business and I didn't join my mates for the HND session. My reason was; after school now, I go carry certificate they Waka up and down. Make I kuku use this small money wey I don save use am run my business first as I thought school can wait. could I be wrong?

# I have a course mate who traveled overseas after our ND and she has been encouraging me to come over since I could afford the travel expenses (not to lie, I was considering this also which made me forget going back for my HND.)
Now my question is if you were me would you go back to school? I am of the opinion that schooling in Nigeria without a good back up could leave me frustrated after graduation. No job.
# if you were me would you just continue with your business and open up a shop or would you travel out, get a job and go to school there?
Pls advice Me as I would be turning 24 in no time and I am JUST CONFUSED I have the feeling that any decision I make at this point would either make or destroy me permanently. Pls help a sister
Should I go back to school? cus my dad always wanted me to get an education but I feel I should be able to know what works as times have changed.
Pls I am open to any form of advice. God bless.
Cc. Lalasticlala, seun or any mod. I'd appreciate if you can move it to the right section or where it could get a wider view. Thanks

If you want to know how possible this is, do you know the number of cows leaving one market in Katsina every day?

I know of one market, Charanchi in Katsina state, not less than 10k cows leave that market every week, and that is only one market. There are others, mai adu'a, batsari, sheme, jibia among several others.

Let me tell you, Kebbi state can sustain that export and to me, that is even on the low side.

Yyeske:
So surprised you didn't label me idiot or pig as your god Nnamdi kanu said, aboki and afonja are stale already.
Come over push me out of Nkpor and peel off my Igboness because you think you are more Igbo than I am.

fratermathy:
Okowa is only being a politician. This statement is saddening but then it may have been read out of context. We all know journalists.

ODVanguard:
I already called you out earlier over this same image you keep repeating. Read the text therein again, and this time slowly, so you can comprehend its import. According to that headline, Fayose was sending his boys to Abia and Anambra to TEACH your people about 'Stomach Infrastructure'. So you see that the joke is actually on you?

deomelo:
According to the imaginary nollywood movie.


Get out of here with that nonsense abeg.

About that little correction.?


Den don take hatred and bitterness swear for you ipobs..

totit:
So yoruba man owns that mall after all ?

Yey, but I saw this in one of these ibojews threads claiming ownership of the mall

Eh

Ha

ODVanguard:
Listen stupid punk. Your shoemakers are the ones begging for attention, Sotay your governor feels he has to go as far as cajoling our OBJ to help sell your substandard pseudo-brand ('Aba-made') that has become renowned and synonymous with everything substandard/fake. OBJ was merely playing his part in trying to rebrand/repackage a damaged pseudo-brand.

Our own entrepreneurs are actually doing quite well. They have healthy brands that don't carry the 'Aba-made' baggage. These entrepreneurs are more sophisticated and 'I.T compliant' -- they don't just have physical retail stores and world-class packaging, but also have online presence -- they have active, attractive and well maintained websites and social media presence that will make anyone want to identify with their brand.

Now, that's a level your Aba shoemakers are yet to attain. The other day they were fretting coz Ikpeazu was trying to bring in Chinese investors into the Aba Shomaking space, obviously coz they can't compete and know for a fact that they'll lose whatever else is left of their current market share.

ODVanguard:
Lol. You are a fool. Did you read the text in the screenshot you put up there? It read that Fayose (ipob Hero) sent Ekiti youths to spread his 'stomach infrastructure ' gospel to your people, you dumb a$$. At least that's what your screenshot says. Fayose, being the poster boy for 'stomach infrastructure', was (according to your screenshot) merely sending his boys to teach/tutor una on stomach infrastructure (unless you are trying to imply that Abia and Anambra are better at it than Fayose), and you no shame to come here come broadcast am?? Odiegwu for you o.

deedeedee1:
Fayose only did that for political reason. We have better designers than u. That is the fact. E-bowls are not innovative. You are known to copy others innovation.

deedeedee1:
You contribute the most in terms of IGR but where you come from, it is one of the lowest. How is that possible?

deedeedee1:
Igbos have nothing. You only beat chest online.
Shameless tribe!
You are known for trafficking drugs worldwide

kn23h:
This is very false.
Yoruba leads. Ibos have no proof.

laudate:
Keep consoling yourself. Your claim that 'Igbos own most of the choice properties there by the way,' is not backed by any data, empirical evidence or hard facts. Several posts have been made concerning the landholdings of estate developers in Lagos, which shows the Yorubas are largest property owners in Lagos. Yet, you pretend not to see it.

Several posts have also been made about Yoruba businessmen and industrialists who are engaged in business activities worth billions, spanning industries from construction, to logistics, aluminium cans manufacturing, oil and gas, telecoms and even haulage. Yet, you still claim that they are nothing more than 'tissue paper owners and plastic chair manufacturers,' even though it was your brothers that first started posting pictures of Igbo businessmen engaged in such activities. It is okay.

We can all see that you are suffering from bad belle of the highest order, so whatever you cannot aspire to, you intend to pull it down. I pray God cures you soon of this malaise. You are going to need more help, as these people continue to record more successes in their endeavours.

ODVanguard:
You people just like throwing numbers around. Which 'most choice properties' in Lagos do Igbos own abeg? Where are the located? Is it the ones at Festac or Ajegunle The NorthEast would probably be more viable than the SouthEast but for the Boko Haram scourge, as the last IGR revenues report showed. You people are the least viable region (if we take out the NorthEast), inspite of all your noises and chestbeating. You can't even make your region attractive enough for you lot to wanna remain there and earn a living without emigrating all over the place like nomads. I don't know why you people like feeling important with yourselves.

Funsho Adeolu knows the real deal

Just found more standard footwear manufacturers that are Yorùbás

More misery for Aba made rubbish. Posting them soon.

Mouth does not win a competition or war but plan,strategy,action and facing the realties do.Anybody who wants to know who produces or owns companies more than the other between Yorubas and Igbos should just read from page one slowly and would be amazed and know why Yoruba or SW is the 3rd economy in Africa...such big biznesses some I know and beleive were owned by Oyinbos.This thread is really an eye opener especially for me but I hope the Igbos are not keeping back some companies which might overturn this landslide victory for the Yorubas.All said I think the govt should help Innoson because he has a very big dream and I think the sky is the limit if he can get it right.I really enjoyed this thread.Yorubas have really locked down the Nigerian economy..WOW!.

mercyville:
lol...if wars are won with the mouth then ojuku would have won the civil war.Igbos have the DNA of using their mouths to create what they want the situation to be but their laziness and lack of war and bizness acumen usually make them a laughing stock.I blame the Yorubas quoting you lazy things because reasonable people do not quote jesters who turns you into a jester too.Let the Ibos go and lick their astronomically deep wounds and learn how Yorubas did and still do it.Yorubas have always been achievers but I did not know frankly speaking that they can beat the Igbos in bizness this much.IT IS JUST TOO MUCH...ASTRONOMICALLY TOO MUCH.No wonder the SW is the 3rd economy in Africa.
KUDOS TO INNOSON FOR STRIVING SO HARD BUT I THINK HE SHOULD LEARN HOW PROFORCE DOES IT TO HAVE GONE INTERNATIONAL.Well basically most of the numerous Yoruba companies posted here have gone international while the few Igbos posted other than the oil companies are local.
I think bridges should be built between this bizness people and the Igbos should be taught how to be versatile lije the Yoruba guys.KUDOS.This thread is an eye opener for all Nigerians/Niaralanders.Everybody is a winner.

Omofunaab2:
Igbos are firmly in control of the hawking business in the south west.. ..

Dumaknesset:
Lekwe isi azu, if you don't have anything to say why not mechionu ngi, afonjaheadhunt and diplomatic opened alternate threads and openly conceded defeats by failure of the their respective thread not able to make two pages of igbos products without spamming.

Your Heroes conceded defeat and keep making demands regardless of what we give them. You can linger on this thread to hurl your usual insults, wondering why afonjaheadhunt has not hurl it's memes. It is terrible defeat for you guys ndi ofe akuko.
