Of course a person with the surname Bassey has been to the East.

How many times I have to tell you, but mind your own business.

This is an Eastern problem, and your post are starting to stink of tribalism. We don't need a person who has never visited the East to tell us our problems.

Once you been to the East, interacted with its people ie. Igbo, Idoma, Igala, Ibibio, Ijaw etc, then talk to us.

paddy_lo,

You speak my mind, my brother in Philly while I am in DC. We observe the same things.

we will still be at the stone age

Wrong. We left the Stone Age a long time ago in Africa. Our people were making Bronze Statues and other art, while the Europeans were running wild and they were painting their faces blue and purple.

This topic would have ran into 15 pages by now if somebody from a particular ethnic group made this statement.

I sorry for Nigerians.

Gbam!

When another person from another ethnic group says this, the One Naija crowd would have berated them! Double standard, I think so.

Radiocarbon dating placed the sites around the 10th century or earlier, which would make the Igbo-Ukwu culture the earliest known examples of bronze casting in Nigeria, centuries before the more famous Ife bronzes.

koruji,

Give me a break! I made a mistake lol

I have no problem with Yoruba (Africans). I love my fellow African brothers and sisters. I just thought it was a Benin sculpture.

Igbo = Ethnic Group

Ikwerre, Aro, Ngwa, Mbaise, Anioma, Izzi, Ezza, Mgbo = Igbo tribes

I do not consider the Igbo a tribe. Igbo as an ethnic group has 3 times as more people as the Scottish ethnic group, yet some people will erroneously call us a tribe! My particular subgroup the Aro are a tribe, but my ethnicity is Igbo.

Let us take it to East Africa, and while many Europeans were painting their faces blue, Ancient Ethiopia was building churches out of stone.

Let us not forget that African people were creating works of art that were attributed to Atlantis.

We Africans have fallen. Our empires were great, our cultures were rich. But now look at the continent.

Great Benin was very great, but how many people in Benin City know how to make these works of art like their ancestors?

I won't be voting Jonathan if I'm in Nigeria during the election!! He lacks a lot of leadership features. He seem like a person that will succumb to anyone threatening his position!! This is a demo of what Jonathan will do when he gets there. Senators and reps are still getting 85% more than they deserve!!!,  I don't think Jonathan is the man for Nigeria.


Referendum should be the first thing any good leader will think of first!!. Every tribe except Beaf's tribe should be allowed to have their own province and grow. Control their own people by their own people.

The way I have read this post, it would seem that the minorities in Nigeria would wish to join forces in order to become major stakeholders in this country and challenge, the Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa-Fulani. This is very interesting.

Also, I do not support Goodluck Jonathan either. I'll rather support Pat Utomi or if Fashola was running I would support him as well. He lacks the leadership quality and he is from PDP and nothing good comes from that.

He has some nerve. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. He probably stole more than the senators will ever do combined. Foolish man.

Who in their right mind would want to do business in Nigeria? I actually thought Richard Branson was crazy for this. And Jimoh Ibrahim is a nobody. Who even knows about him outside of Nigeria? You can't even compare the two.

Nigerian men and their overblown sense of worth. Who is he?

Chai! My Ibibio people. 

Well body parts are a common sight at markets though. I'll rather not know how he obtained these things.

tpiah,

You definitely need to get your history straight. Not knowing your history is a terrible thing to waste.
