Stop living in the Paradise of fools grin.Igbos are the only people in Nigeria who have been living off the developments of other regions while leaving their own states to rot.

Even at that Igbos are no match for Southwesterners in levels of human development. Most of the professionals, technicians and skilled artisans are from the southwest.

Whenever Igbo people want to build houses in the east, we normally take southwesterners there to build the house cheesy
Bring out the human development stats for the regions then we can discuss. Otherwise there's nothing else.

Plenty! For one it displaces your argument against Elder Clark's assertion that East had no means to develop the way Awo developed West and Bello developed North.
MayorofLagos, if Awo and Bello developed these regions and the East was lagging behind, why does the east have the highest human development today outside of Lagos and Abuja?

Hmm, that's interesting, I would have thought it would be well known, unless the descriptions are so primordial that they were left in their basic nature. And could 'aju udu' be in reference to the moon looking like a upturned pot with a cloth padding?

In 1929, Asaba was considered Western Nigeria.
Anything west of river niger was Western.

Where do you guys get your bshuh?
Did you not see the breakdown of eastern Nigeria? How many people are in old Mid-West? Even if you are correct, if Coastal tribes made up a mere 2% and we assume Asaba and co were put into Western Nigeria as 1%, then 9% of the town was still from non-Igbo Western Nigeria in 1929! Maybe it's malaria.

AjiereTuwo, I asked you to swear that there are no Igbo women in your lineage and that Rivers men are not all mothered by Ijoised Igbo women, or is it true that they are? AjiereTuwo, if Ijaw people marry Igbo women because they are cheap what are you saying about the average Ijaw family? AjiereTuwo, if you've acknowledged that Ijaw men shi na mgbe gboo na horo umunwanyi Igbo di ka ji mmanu, ha tuwa kwa i jiri onu nke ha ji sukpu na otu nwanyi Igbo i kparikwa ndi Igbo who are then these phantom women raising Ibani or Kalabri women?

MayorofLagos:
Even in current pace, West is still the pioneer and most advanced. The yardstick of measure is to look at which regions today, under unitary system, is able to operate in parallel with the center and would not miss the center if it were to dissolve. Only West can say that and show it effectively. Everyone else is a pretender,East in particular. So imagine what would be if we go regional.
Nah, everything is still centred in Lagos under this one city-state set up so of course surrounding states will get the dividends of that. You argument for a pioneering and advanced region today would be more credible if we through out the fact that the so called south east was almost completely levelled for example.

By the way Gwari people would look funny bragging over Abuja.

But Yorubas are not trooping to our region, why?
Don't be sheepish, this is about historical accounts, many things have happened since then to have the status quo as it is.

"In 1929, ethnic groups (according to regions) in Enugu town were represented in the
following proportions:

From Northern Nigeria – 2%
From Western Nigeria – 10%
From Eastern Nigeria – 87% (Coastal tribes, such as Calabar, etc. – 2%; Igbo – 85%)
(Hair, 1954:3)."

I don't know, are you saying the Igbo women Rivers men marry are second hand, I don't know where you're going with that, because these Igbo women are in fact in wedlock with these Rivers men. Can you swear that there are no Igbo women in your lineage or that of your kinsmen?

We're tired of this topic. Let's talk about how genetically and genealogical, whether they accept it or not, the majority of Rivers State descends from present day Imo and Abia State and that's why the Igbo language displaced Ijo in some communities.
PoliticsRe: Clark Spills The Beans On What Each Region Contributed To Nigeria. by ezeagu(m): 11:27am On Oct 02, 2016
This topic is very irrelevant anyway and has been overdone.

Lagos was the colonial center of Nigeria for decades, money the British got from the oil trade they started using to build Lagos hence all the railways and telegraph lines starting in Lagos because of Europeans, naturally new technology would diffuse from there and the logistics would make it easier since Lagos was the official port.

All of this stuff happened with heavy support from the British, the first university people are bragging about was an offshoot of Oxbridge in London. The question should be the viability of each region if left to their own today.

Nigeria exists because of eastern Nigeria, the Lagos Colony was an after thought when Jaja was king of the coast. The palm oil that the British were feeding off was from eastern Nigeria. If you want to go back then go all the way back.

Didn't make sense either. His definition doesn't even correlate with the name. Can't make sense of it. "Na eje ama ana eze" doesn't even mean "they go to be the indigenous kings".

I thought Njemanze just meant the 'gait or demeanour like that of an nze titled man', a well polished man, as in 'Nje mma nze', or the journeys they used to take for the ikpu aru rituals. There are also people who answer 'Ijemanze'.

Besides in Rivers State, like in Delta State, Igbo groups whether some deny being Igbo or not are broken into component parts to lessen the visuals of the upland (Igbo) dominance.

I am happy for them honestly.

I try as much as possible not to judge people's taste,in who they date or even get married to.

Because as they say,beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Would HungerBAD be caught with a lady dressed like the one I am seeing in this pictures in Public?no.

Let alone even making her a wife.

There are a lot of things the White people took from us Africans when they Colonized us. They took us as slaves,they stole our artifacts,they forced their religions on us,they forced us to speak their languages.

But one thing they did not take from us is our Culture and Beliefs. The African Culture teaches our women how to dress respectfully by covering themselves up decently.

Ishilove come here.

I have started gathering money to move from Sango to Agege for us. If this is how you dress,tell me make i use my money start pure water business.
Is this the "African culture" you're on about?
