₦airaland Forum

@Ileke-Idi

Maybe we should do a study on Nairaland. Let us see the number of negative threads are dedicated to each group. Once the study is done, then we shall know who has been the target of the most negative threads.

It is an endless cycle. To me, it seems like a feud. If I could talk about development, politics and the Nigerian economy each day, I would be delighted.

aribisala0:
where is the Viscount of the DUCHY of UMD his lordship with the exalted degree??

That is Eze Uche to you. You may refer to me as Eze, Igwe or Mazi. If you prefer to use your own native tongue, Oba will be perfectly fine as well.   Prostration is a must when dealing with me.

aribisala0:
i hope you are aware of the scholastic rigor(or lack thereof)which goes into creating wikipedia pages

You fail to realize your own Yoruba brother has been using Wikepedia to support p his statements throughout this thread. Selective amnesia is a terrible disease.

I see Beaf has been battling the Yoruba Mafia on this thread as well. One man taking them all.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=646145.msg8130124#msg8130124 date=1302834084]Anyway, next time some Igbo man brags about the cities he inherited from whitey built, just remind him of the origin of those cities.[/quote]Unbelievable. This EWU wants to disrespect a group of people. He can't even speak his native tongue, yet he wants to feel superior. Sometimes NL never ceases to amaze me.

Can  ekt_bear please define a city?

I guess he doesn't know of the city-states that existed in Igboland. Like Onitsha. . .

Eko Ile should not even go there.

Do not start anything you cannot finish.  

Eko Ile:
Though this is the usual meaningless nonsese, but let's just pretend and set aside your fallacy for a min.

Of what use is your education when since independence, you got your a'ss whooped, you are still behind everybody and at the bottom of things, your leaders are mindless bickering fools with no sense of direction, the highest igbo public official is 6th place behind not only Yoruba and Hausa, but even the minorities, you've always been second fiddlers and you still are.

You are irrelevant in Abuja and that's why your leaders are back east fighting with each order like morons.


Again, of what use is your sorry backside education?

All I can say to this tripe is that we shall see who has the last laugh. . .

There is always pride before the fall.

LWKMD

Read about the history of your beloved Enugu. It is there on Wikipedia for everyone to see.[/quote]You should believe everything you read on Wikipedia. It stunts your brain.

When did white people start using words like Enugu? Hmmm

Retell the story to us Mr. Onye Ocha.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=646145.msg8130002#msg8130002 date=1302831947]Yes, in a country where electricity is moribund, and where China can produce anything you can make at FAR lower prices, millions of Africans are lining up to buy goods from Igboland. Goods that even my dad's illiterate Akwa Ibom employee derides as "Aba-made"   [/quote]You should never enter my realm. If you understand how global markets are changing, you would understand that soon China will be exporting their manufacturing base as their people become wealthy. As the Chinese people become more wealthy, they will have to look to other regions to produce goods. This is basic economics. Higher incomes mean higher cost of production.

[quote author=Βουκέφαλος link=topic=646145.msg8130003#msg8130003 date=1302831956]If the Igbo are prosperous, everyone will be prosperous. Nigeria would be a better place if Igbos controlled the economy and finances of the country.

Ezeuche,
Have you forgotten that FAT PI.G  at stock exchange was Igbo? what cam out of it before she was removed[/quote]And I guess you have forgotten the good work done by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who was able to get our debt forgiven and now look what has happened. Do not bite the hand that feeds you.

Eko Ile:
And they get mad when I call them illiterates,

Too bad my education trumps your education in every way. Do not talk to your superiors in such a manner. It is unbecoming of a peasant.

Is this your only evidence? If it is, you need to find more information, then ONE youtube video.

Desola:
Igbos only[size=8pt][/size] go to ONE area in the "SW" and that is Lagos. Lagos is no man's land. And soon Yorubas will be outnumbered in their "own" city, by not only Igbos, but Niger Delta minorities and your "own" Northerners

Olodooooo! I have been wasting my time engaging you. How can you make such erronous comment? I thought your people were gypsies who travel alot, yet you have only been to Lagos?

Do not run from me. I am not finished with you! I know you are used to hearing that from your customers.  

Desola:
Remove the rose tinted glasses, please! Regardless of the money they make, they are still what they are! Ordinary third hand spare parts dealers and guerilla movie producers when no even get qualifications. If spare part doesn't sell, they pick their next of kin for rituals.

Even more delighting.   Continue. . . I wish to hear more. It is rare for us to hear a woman so tribalistic as you. You are a rare commodity. A Yoruba woman with such hate. Your words are like giving me pure ecstasy. I wonder if you would say that to an Igbo's face.

Desola:
Feel insecure by who? Omo ibos? Abeg don't insult me o. I can ignore their infantile remarks and curses but having you say "insecure" is a slap to my heritage. Yorubas are simply not on par with the Igbos, we are simply the best. I just feel a little riled by their outward ingratitude.

There is nothing more delighting than a tribalistic Yoruba female.

If you feel riled up, then do something about it. Words are just words, but lets see you do something about it. We know how many of your people only talk.

yarodin:
Jason it goes both ways ooooooooooooooh, afterall Desola called Igbos ordinary spare part dealers and makers of inferior movies.

You speak the truth. Desola started with the insults.

How would she like it if we called her one of those Lagos girls that we hear so much about? Everyone knows what I am talking about. A cheap commodity. . .

jason123:
@Desola
LOL. . . .

I know how you feel. Do not feel insecure around your igbo friends, the ones on NL (the some tribal ones (they know themselves)) are just impossible but the ones outside are cool, kind and loving. DO NOT DEVELOP ANY HATE FOR IGBOS. That is what NL tenders to do in the heart.I repeat, do not hate any one. Igbos are cool, its just NL that some act up.

The same go for the Yoruba tribalist brigade. If you look at my very first post using this moniker, you can see how I found Nairaland. By insults against the Ndigbo.

I plenty of Yoruba friends, especially at my university. But sometimes NL makes me wonder if this is their private views.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=646145.msg8128699#msg8128699 date=1302816138]Lagos has its slums, but it also has its world-class parts. Just because you cannot afford to spend time in the nice parts and can only stay in the slums doesn't mean the city itself is bad

Get your weight up and you too can live in uptown[/quote]Whenever I stay in Lagos, I stay over my uncle's house on Victoria Island.

However, who would want to Lagos. Overcrowded and dirty city. There is a reason why they call it a SLUM CITY. I don't know which city is dirtier, New Delhi or Lagos.

Kobojunkie:
@Poster, Awo just rolled in his grave!!

Let the man roll in his grave.

Desola:
This seems to be a leading question but i'll take the bait.

I lived in Lagos and I am an Indegene of Lagos.

You claim a slum filled city?

People who live in Lagos need their heads examined.

Give us Anioma state with Asaba its capital. The Ndigbo do not interfere in the fractious fighting that is involved in Delta state, because our borders are clearly outlined. I am so happy Warri does not exist near our territory to be honest.

PhysicsMHD:
Hmmm. And all this time I thought Orikinla was Igbo based on his comments about Biafra and Igbos from way back. Because of those comments I still think he's Igbo. I don't know how people are getting that he's Ijaw or Yoruba when he hasn't identified as such.

He is of the riverine variety. They are very confused about their heritage. No clear distinction.

Same politicians, just a different party.
