This is a very misleading headline. What else do we call fake news?

No where in the article was it started that Ekwueme introduced the siuth-south nomenclature...even in the interview he granted.

What Ekwueme proposed was six geopolitical zones to cushion the situation whereby the big-for-nothing northern region will not dominate the rest of the country "forever"

The op has always been a hateful e-diot

.you're the greater ideot here if don't give us the name he (Ekwueme) gave them (south/south)

eldoradoxx:
South always insists on the artificial division into SE, SW and SS. When it comes to North, u often hear of one North/Arewa and their Governors meet regularly as one North. The first time Southern Governors ever agreed to seat together as a bloc was the last meeting held in Asaba where they banned open grazing in the South.

That not in anyway the fault of the north, if we southern Nigeria can not think deeply come together and form one political block regardless of been called SW,SS,SE,then we have nobody to blame

gidgiddy:
South/South, South East and South West are just one of the many instruments the North uses to keep the South divided

Why didn't south use the same instruments to keep north divided?

kvin33:
Those obsessed with Igbo hate think they can fool the rest of us who know how the name South-South actually came to be. Ekwueme DID NOT COIN IT!! Sorry you are wrong.

"In this interview Dr Ekwueme explains how and why he came up with the idea. The interview was conducted and published a few years before his death and it was republished after his death."

Can you please educate us, what name did ekwueme called them?

[quote author=kvin33 post=102837126]Ekwueme proposed 6 geopolitical zones. The name South-South was not explained anywhere in the OP -spare us please. Those who choose to traffic in Igbo HATE should know that they fool no one but themselves and that hatred will consume them and no one else.[/quotas]

When ekwueme proposed 6 geopolitical zones what name did he suggest should be given to the new region about to be calve out for Eastern minorities?

gidgiddy:
Balfour Baikie was one of the first white men Igbos met in person, and actually made friends with Igbos.

His name "baikie" is why Igbos started calling all white people "bekee". To this day, Igbos still call white people "bekee" because of him

Interesting its no longer oyibo Igbo used to call white people its now bekee?

The fear of Tinubu

Except they don't host convention till 2023, and don't host Presidential primaries, Tinubu's goons would still beat them for party Chairmanship and Presidential primaries

Tinubu hasn't said a word yet they are all jittery

APC delegates list in a National convention or National Presidential Primaries

*Aminu Masari would get Katsina for Jagaban
*Sanwo Olu would get Lagos for Jagaban
*Oyo State is for Jagaban
*Ganduje would get Kano for Jagaban
*Boss Mustapha would deliver Adamawa
*Uzodinma would deliver IMO
*Akeredolu Ondo
*Matawale Zamfara
*Dogara Bauchi
*Oyetola Osun


Except they have a powerful Magic to stop APC National convention constitutionally and not hold APC National Presidential Primaries, the Governors have lost


.

Ogun
Kwara

ahahnow:
what is akata?

Akata=were wolf

Nice

But please don't claim pidgin words as yoruba.

SONG IN YORUBA IS ORIN

GBEDU is pidgin

Thanks

Ajebo gotten from Ajebutter is also pidgin

Then again, wahala is hausa which further derived from wahl an
arabic word which means trouble.

.

Mr, gbedu is a type of musical drum in yoruba

Tex42:
U're on point @OP...and oh! Add this word "LOBATAN" to the list, seems to be the most used cliche/slang in ma area here in Awka.

Someone tell me the meaning pls...

It means THAT'S IT

YungMillionaire:
I love that word 'lobatan.' I don't know why it makes me laugh even before I decoded the meaning.

Lobatan means 'THAT'S IT'

theTranslator:
E shock me too o

It was named keke marwa which means marwa's bicycle, because they don't consider it a vehicle nor motorcycle

bigfrancis21:
Some of these words listed are not Yoruba. For example, wahala is not yoruba. Baba is not Yoruba as well. Baba originates from India where it is used to refer to 'sir', just as we use it in Nigeria. It has hinduist/Islamic influence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_(honorific). Alibaba.com is a popular website owned by a Chinese man.

'Keke' also is not Yoruba. The tricycle originates from India where it is called Bajaj or Keke and imported into Nigeria. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Gasoline-KEKE_60272954462.html?spm=a2700.7724857.0.0.UPyV43&s=p

Moreover, most of these words are more popular in the Pidgin spoken in Lagos. The Pidgin spoken in the SE and SS, for example PH, Warri etc. has much less of these words and more words from the native languages in the area. For example, in Lagos while people would commonly say Okada in Pidgin, in the SE, people would say 'Inaga' instead. 'Inaga' in Igbo means, 'are you going?', which is literally used to refer to commercial motorbikes.

You say wetin? Keke is India!

Ofodirinwa:
Lagos didn't do abandoned property, During the war Lagos was a shell of it's self economically.

Lagos was the shell of it self? The bulk of money kept for and given to SE after the war where did you think it came from?

sinkhole:
we may actually learn here!
There are things in Yoruba that have multiple words to describe them, yes "Orin" = song, but it could also be "gbedu"

Gbedu is a type of drum in yoruba

Ofodirinwa:
So 2 million homes enter the market, and you fill them with 2 million homeless nigerians, and this, in your mind, will end the housing deficit in Nigeria? 1 million empty apartments in Lagos and you think it there will be a Lagos the next year? You fill them with people who currently can't afford a home. What happens next? Because they have a free apartment they now have the money to pay the rent? Lets say 1 million people are refusing or unable to pay rent, what happens to the landlord? What happens to the property? How will anyone sell another house or rent another flat again?

If this is the best your brain can do economically, enjoy your free apartment.

What happen to Lagos in 67_70 when all SE left did ruined or did the economy collapse?

Eriokanmi:
Minus fayose too, his dad is a retited CAC pastor while his wife a daughter of a cac assistant General superintendent, now late. I know her dad well. Moreover, fayose was a car dealer in challenge ibadan back in the days. He already had money before joining politics . He wasn't sponsored by anybody to go to school except his dad. He studied a science course at Ibadan poly. I'm surprised nobody was able to guess right from the beginning of this post

How old was fayose in 1993? He hasn't married his wife then I think,am not saying his the one tho

Asgard73:
Tinubu..

Ladoja

Akala

Aregbe...


Pick from the above...

Since Na Yoruba state

Minus tinubu, he was already a senator by then

Too late to.....

superjab247:
Please beware of the newly made in Nigeria phone ITF mobile.we shouldn't patronise that product it was unveiled personally by buhari.

A country that is against the press freedom social media freedom and based on lies can not guarantee your privacy on that FG schemed and manufactured phone,I would rather u a nokia touch light phone than that Trojan horse spy device called ITF Mobile, remember the FBI used the same pattern to burst over 800 criminal gangs by selling a compromised and repackaged Android phone to them.

ITF Mobile might contain some hidden spy software and whatever u do with that device is not private and safe.

My opinion.

Those you buy in the open market did you know the kind of spy chip/device that is in it? Or do you think its only the one produced in Nigeria that can be bugged?

Coldshisha:
This isn't psychological manipulation or gaslighting

Mention anyone with Tinubu's remarkable experience and contribution to democracy since NADECO days and perhaps I might start rooting for the person

Am not talking about his experience and contributions to Democracy and NADECO,but about all those companies you listed above, when did tinubu graduated that within that short period and 1992 he had worked in those number of companies, I'm a tinubu supporter tho

Coldshisha:
Okay who are you voting for in 2023 what party and candidate

Kindly state your valid reasons

Or we should scream Ofen Nsala day , no referendum no Election while Almajiri kids votes on our behalf

I can't vote Tinubu in peace again

A man who broke records at Chicago State University,

Worked in Aramco subsidiary, Delliote, Price water Cooper, ExxonMobil , General Electric , National Oil

Someone who's Lagos 1999 blueprint is the only template that is working in the whole of Nigeria

.

Stop gasliting within how may year did work in all this company? It to praise/surport our own but we should try to be factual at times abeg!!

colorsofrainbow:
Is that why your living Buhari and Osibanjo are yet to deactivate their twitter accounts despite being banned by them
Obviously they can't do without twitter

Oga make up your mind is it buhari or impostor from Sudan like your Mr delector would want us to believe?

This Nnamdi KANU and his follower's will not stop for a second and reason, which buhari is he talking about the one he claimed is long dead and has been cloned?

2ndBase:
You have shown and displayed ignorance by your self serving opinion and delusion. Google is your friend to know how dissolution of a country happens and how to share assets and liabilities. Time frame is given to settle issues by witnessing international community and not the fire brigade approach you spewed up there.
You no get sense at all.

Maybe you should tell us how many asset was share to in 1967

[quote author=Monogamy post=102508233]If you are aware of this, why going through the unnecessary hardship all in the name of having an independent.. All the questions the op raised, none of you have been able to give proper answers to them.

The new Biafra, are the leaders going to be from Jupiter or same SE region, cos if it's the latter, why have Igbo billionaires, Entrepreneurs, Musicians, Footballers not invested heavily in the same SE region.. Are they also marginalizing the region?

Why not turn your region into an eldorado before demanding for a new nation? Would you jump into a swimming pool you have no idea of the depth?

Kanu has been busy demanding money for ammunition, all because he is living large with the unrest in SE.. If Nigeria has marginalized SE as a region, can't Kanu and his group channel the funds into development of SE?

Kanu has been receiving funds for years regarding Ipob agenda about Biafra, then I ask?

Is Ipob creating any empowerment programs for Igbo youths?

Are they giving scholarship to students with high grade?

How many schools have they built, how many hospitals, roads?



Because they wanted to make buhari feel pained

mekaboy:
UK and catalonia already built. So you want to take igbos 100 years back to start building? Who will wait for you to finish building and come and meet up with others?

How will your government be formed? Which state will produce president?

The presidency is settle already leave that for the deflector Nnamdi

Look, you are a deluded fool, do yourself a favour and stop spreading your fake history. Your revisionism won't turn nri into an empire, nri is a village and always will be so. I know you are trying to copy yoruba with their fake history surrounding ife village, the world still knows ife as a village and will never see nri as anything else.

You this fraud you're here again claiming to be anioma/Bini at the same time,@Tao11 know you to be a con artist that's why he always disgrace you.

Every genuine historian around the word know the Yoruba history is as Clair/truthful as it can be, about the origin and source of Bini monarch/oba which is from ife in osun state Yoruba land, everybody world over knows that that the oba of Bini history revision of early 70s is just a politically induced revisionism just for the purpose of given himself force legitimacy born out of inferiority complex.
