ojadetayo: The main point of writing this is to never allow your mistakes to hold you down. Never allow your mistakes to hinder you from getting to the top. Even if it is a career mistake, the fact that you have realized your mistake is a good thing. You now have to stand up and pursue what makes you happy. It is true that starting over again is always difficult but it is better to start over at pursuing what makes you happy than to continue in something that will always make you cry. The time is never late to start again. I wish you the best in your journey to success. Thanks |

So what if it's a major career mistake?
You are in this field and you just know that it isn't where your strength lies. But then, you've been in it for quite some time, and you're even earning a decent pay.
But you just know that this was a mistake from the start. Where do you even get the courage to stop and start over? |

donTbone: Reading through an article on the subject, I was expecting a list to eventually show if my present gal is a virgin or not. At the long run, after reading and waiting for some list, the writer ended listing nothing and ending on this note which I quote < .
just pray for a woman that you will be able to accept for who she is and who will give you joy...
It was then it dawned on me that there might not be a specific way to know a womans virginity. And like seriously, I asked is virginity more scarce than 1st class degree?
But stiil, am throwing this out...is there any way to really determine a womans virginity  The bolded shows how you tried to downplay the fact that you're still interested in knowing if your girl is a virgin or not Apparently, you created a topic for this purpose, so you're still interested Are you a virgin yourself? Don't you have like actual real life worries other than virginity matters? Please grow up |

Culture › Re: Some Similarities Between Ijaw , Urhobo And Itsekiri by Favolly(f): 3:33pm On Sep 07, 2015 |
laudate: I have gone through this thread with a lot of interest and honestly, am baffled at some of the generalisations that have been thrown up here.
I have just 2 questions:
Did anyone conduct a census on the number of educated Urhobo people, before they came to a conclusion that they constituted 5% or 50% of the entire Urhobo ethnic group? 
Are your comments based on just your own personal observations, or the general stereotypes that keep floating out there? 
Did you obserev a high level of illiterarcy among the Urhobo folks, living in either: (a). the slums; (b). the cities (c). urban settlements?
The reason I ask, is because it is difficult to win an argument without verifiable data. If the level of education has been dropping among the Urhobo ethnic group in the slums, then it cannot be said to be representative of the entire Urhobo ethnic group as generally, literacy levels among slum dwellers are poor.
If the literacy level among Urhobo in the villages are also poor, then it means the state govt is not doing enough to invest in the education of the citizens of the state, irrespective of whether they are Urhobo, Ijaw or Itsekiri! More needs to be done at all levels! By all state govts! 
If your sampling is done among Urhobo in different parts of Nigeria, and the observation still remains the same, then it would appear that somehow the Urhobos have been denied the benefit of, or access to a good education. Or it could be that they are not sufficiently motivated to seek education. But you would need a lot of proof to support this assertion. 
There is a lot that can be said, but one needs to be careful about tossing remarks like this into the public domain, without adequate facts to back it up. Just my 2 cents.  I clearly stated previously that it is my opinion. I never claimed I have all the facts. I obviously didnt conduct a census neither was I quoting NBS figures or anything. I spoke based on my experiences with people I have interacted with overtime. I have met a lot of people from there who either aren't educated or who are but still think like they aren't. I'm not even talking about villagers, because I've never even been to my village. The other day, a family friend was lamenting that after looking for so long for an Urhobo man to marry, she still ended up with a Yoruba man. I asked her why she was so particular about marrying an Urhobo man. She said she didn't want her children to be treated as an outcast after she dies. Apparently according to the 'tradition', a woman must be buried in her own home town or else her children would have no stake in her properties or something silly like that. So I'm like 'Seriously? That' mentality is what held you? Ever heard of medical power of attorney??' This is just one example, I've met many others, and it's something I've been worried about for some time now I don't understand why Mr. Dafinone is taking it personal, I didn't make generalizations. Also, I have the right to my own opinion. His clan is educated, yes. But I still insist that doesn't consist 5% of the populace. I dont need to conduct a census to know that, there are thousands of them out there |

erico2k2: I finished sec school 1992, and Im a first born, guess his age you can figure out if he is my Dad or not,about questioning your roots or your discipline yes you where correct however I was only trying to put you in front of saying stuff without facts, I was in a bar in soho wen I was typing to you, my friend another urhobo guy a a psychologist was laughing at the %50 you pegged our education at,Now, what do you really mean By not educated? no school at all or you mean basic schooling ie just read and write cos the more i think of it the more funny it sounds tbh So you have all the facts? Speaking live from a Soho bar? Lol! you've been abroad for God knows how long. Yet you think you know all that's happening with the Urhobo race. Please wake up and smell the coffee! Anyway, there's something called the 'blind-privileged' syndrome. I will just attribute it to that. I don't even know why you're taking it personal. We've established the fact that you are educated. Well, so am I. But your clan and mine put together aren't even up to 5% of the Urhobo populace. Maybe you need to go to your village and see for yourself. Also, you just had to tell me you're in Soho. I mean, it was so pointless but you just had to. PS; Ain't nobody got time to calculate ya age. Tomorrow is Monday, I need my sleep.

erico2k2: nah you are getting it wrong, I said the first minister of finance in 9ja was Okotie eboh however DOD is an accountant, so i was relating him to you saying you are a chartered acct. so thats where you are misinformed,Im saying if you are urhobo and a chat acct as you said then you should know who D.O.D is . PS.I dont need to proof read waht I type, in as much as my mesage gets accross its all good.as saying I cant spell chartered acct None of my siblin can change their brake pads but I can cos Im an Engineer.If i go by your analogy then cos they have a brother who is an Engineer they should know how to change their Oil filters right? I got qualified after may diet, I havent attended the induction ceremony as the last one was held in May So I don't know who D.O.D is, neither do I care TBH I'm still Urhobo And yea, I'm still an aaccountant! Also, WRONG analogy up there.... Requiring them to know how to change their brake pads or oil filters or whatever is asking for too much, I mean it's not like you can prepare bank reconciliation statements or anything. Nah, let's just stick to the original matter and use the exact 'analogy'. Therefore let's assume that they can spell the words 'mechanical' and 'engineer' Have a lovely night rest |

erico2k2: what has okotie eboh got to do with ICAN? I was talking of D.O.D, meanwhile I'm using my mobile phone thank you English teacher.It might i ntrest you to k now I live where the only option I have is to speak English to everyone around me my kids inclusive.As I was saying unless U r not in 9ja and not a chartered acct.U must know who D.O.D is as he is a figure of ICAN in Nigeria you can never miss it. Are you confused? You were trying to tell me about the achievements of some Urhobos and you talked about the first minister of finance in Nigeria. Isn't it Okotie-eboh again? Isn't he Urhobo? At what point did D.O.D enter the matter? Maybe you didn't quite get the sarcasm when I said Okotie eboh's name is not in ICAN syllabus. Yea, I said that because you were trying to insinuate that I may not be Urhobo or that I may not be a chartered accountant because I said I couldn't remember any such achievement at the time. PS; If you really come from a family of chartered accountants like you claim, you should know how to spell the word. Telling me the only option you have is spoken English doesn't excuse it, you are on social media. Are you speaking English? Aren't you typing it? |

erico2k2: Thats my point, do not make any assumption until you are entirely sure,I'm an urhobo from a family of 7,I am a mechanical Engineer in the Uk our last born is in Uni and would soon grad as a pharmacist, My dad and my immediate brother are chartered accountants, my Mum is an head mistress,two of my sisters are lecturers,I come from teh family of the highest chattered accountants in the world, 7 in total,you can google it,the record is in the guinness book of records.SO If you don't know about certain ethnic group, do not assume from hearsay or waht you just see within your circle.It will be good to migrate out of your immediate comfort and experience life in a different region only then you can make comparison. Lol! Calm down All these stats you're giving me, does it account for 50% of the Urhobo race? Of course, there are educated Urhobo people. Also I'm not quoting hearsays, neither do I need to 'migrate from my immediate comfort and experience life in a different region' before I can give my opinion on what I have observed generally. I am Urhobo, an accountant and my family members are very educated too. However, I still maintain my stance about their general literacy level. The fact that your family name is in the Guinness book of records doesn't change anything. Cheers! |

Most urhobo men are lazy, their wives slave for them I don't believe up to 50% of them are very educated, i think they need to explore the world more too
The itsekiris are proud people, they think their culture is all that. They are highly tribalistic too. About them being accommodating, I really can't say. It's possible
They are all funny, especially the Urhobos
