[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=594164.msg7623613#msg7623613 date=1296247745]Yorubas are rabid tribalist.

Look at them show their fangs when it comes to Lagos.

Maybe we Igbos should claim Ibadan for fun.  

Nightmares of Ore are still fresh in their mind.[/quote]I knew you were just having fun

You prolly laughing your azz out there in DC, anyway, dont try it again ok?

That was expensive!

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=594164.msg7623567#msg7623567 date=1296247358]Watch your tongue boy. You do not have the right to mention Arochukwu.  

Let alone any Igbo city.

All Igbos towns are far superior to any city Yorubaland has to offer.[/quote]Very funny!

Igbo Kwenu!

Igbo Kwezuonu!

Igbo Kwenu kwezuonu!!!

^^^^

Next time OPC starts killing your folks, dont go running to the Oba of Lagos for help  ok?

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=592779.msg7623248#msg7623248 date=1296243631]You have been screaming the thing all through this thread. Do I sense jealousy? I mean are you jealous of a scammer? The man is intelligent. Now get over it.[/quote]Very stupidd assertion

Why would he be jealous

what he  did is simply not that impressive. Any idle person can pull it off. Remember, he used to work in a bank and had help throughout

There is nothing impressive about what he did.

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=594164.msg7623104#msg7623104 date=1296242130]Interesting new posts.

@fstranger1: You probably take the Yale 2:1 guy over the University of Maryland 1st class guy. Dunno how these things translate into GPA and class percentile, but you generally take the person who went to the better school, unless that person has a terrible GPA or the lower-tier school guy is exceedingly brilliant.

Regarding tribalism in hiring. . . basically, a private business can hire whoever they like. If it is a Yoruba-owned or controlled business, then it is their prerogative to look to hire Yoruba first before others.

Part of that is just natural human tendency. . . if you can hire your cousin to do a job, why give it to an outsider?[/quote]Exactly my point: OAU is the Yale of Nigeria while UI represents the Harvard and Oxford of the Nigerian educational system. Therefore a 2:1 or 2:2 from either institution is generally better regarded than any first class form other institutions. OAU and UI accept the cream de la cream of JAMBites. Some schools in the East arent better than elite secondary schools (like Kings, GCI etc) in the SW.

cap28:
How many nigerian housewives make public speeches and parade themselves in front of tv cameras talking about women's issues?

Please compare like with like.  Michelle Obama is a first lady and the american electorate have certain expectations of a woman in such a position - like being able to speak and read english coherently, this is the same way we expect that Patience - the wife of nigeria's president should also be able to speak and read english coherently

She has placed herself in the limelight and on to the world stage, in doing so she has given up all rights to her privacy.

When did she place herself in the limelight? By contesting for the post of the First Lady?

Who knew? I for sure did not know she was voted in by the people of Nigeria for the post of GEJ's wife


Comparing like with like, hun? Princeton Educated Michelle versus what? You are very silly for comparing Michelle with Patience. Very silly comparison.

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=593399.msg7623033#msg7623033 date=1296241400]I'm sure you know exactly why I said it.  Tearing apart Mrs. Jonathan is a LOW BLOW. Same as focusing on Michelle's aesthetic flaws.  
Nothing to do with WASPy look, since I did not menton her skin color or any negroid features.  

Anyone of any race can have WONKY TEETH and a GIANT FOREHEAD and a POOR GRASP OF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Do you see how unfair I think this criticism of Mrs. Jonathan is?[/quote]Fixed!

playboy19:
I dare you fstranger1 post your picture here or in your profile, i bet you don't look an inch as good as michelle even with her WONKY TEETH and GIANT FOREHEAD.

Are you gay? why the phucc do you want to see my picture? Leave me alone fagggot!


Just so you know, I love DDs more than anything else. Ask Isale and ileke?

Mobinga:
Its not what they'll do to Igbo's.

In 1966 the Northerners slaughtered numerous Igbo's. The manner of the slaughters according to the western documents, "Beyond Human Understanding"

They cut open pregnant women's stomach just to remove the foetus.

Didnt the Igbos do the same thing to Colonel Shodeinde's pregnant wife?

Why are you trying to pass falsehood as truth?

Vigilante:
@kobo - what do you like about the post? We are yet to get the Oshiomole's side of the story.

What did you just do?


Dont you know who Madam Kobo is?

I don warn you oooo

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=593399.msg7622890#msg7622890 date=1296239714]I tried to listen but I was too distracted by her WONKY TEETH.  Oh, yeah, and the glare from her GIANT FOREHEAD!!!

You see what I did there?  It's a low blow.  Same as tearing apart some middle-age housewife, who happens to be married to a politician, for not sounding like a. . .  I don't even know wth!

And Michelle ain't all that.  Dig beneath the surface.

Hi, Cap!  [/quote]True talk

but that is the truth brother

i will not cover the truth,.,.,.,. that rubbish they do in lagos can never happen in the north,, ,., FACT

all that rubbish they say about yorubas is just sad

l[b]ook at ezeuche, can he insult a northerner even on NL not to talk on the street,.,.,. he will just waste his life for nothing

that is the reality

jahman, why not come apply for a job in kano or borno state and try to see if they job will be given to you when i am there

yes i can not speak english properly, but i know i will get a job before you in those states,.,. fact[/b]

Omg!

You just made my day!

You da best, Alhaji. . . how was Jumu'ah? Did you pray for me?

Anyway, you've spoken the truth and nothing can change that!

In your part of the world, have you ever heard of assassination before? what makes you think the killers aren't hired Igbo assassins or even Yoruba assassins?

Please we that claimed to be educated should always show that in the way we reason and type.

Never in your life should you make the mistake of mentioning Boko Haram and Igbos with Yorubas in the same sentence. Yorubas are way too sophisticated for that.

Please take note.

How many languages does she speak again?

jason123:
I thought you all boast that igbos control the economy, then why are you now shouting that yorubas control the corporate Nigeria? You are a hypocrite who would do anything to discredit the yorubas and credit the igbos. I just laugh at the way you change the goal post. Do you know that there is an igbo man in my university that is sponsored by the lagos state fovernment although he is not thst smart (academically).

Onlytruth, your lies know no bounds.

Dont stoop low to their level, let them wallow in their ignorance.

The other mumu in his original mumu post tried insinuating that Yorubas only rely on Expos to do well on WAEC. Imagine such level of ignorance from the co called "smart guy"

Like you said yesterday, Inferiority complex is really really bad for business. Didnt know how bad inferiority complex is until I joined NL.

Quick question: Which of the following would you employ:


A 2:2 from Yale or A First class from University of Maryland?

Please be honest?

tensor777:
Oyb could it be that you have lost the plot here. In the grand scheme of things it does not matter whether or not she speaks like a news presenter. She is at the end of the day just a housewife and not a politician.
Anyway as far as she does have basic literacy skills that is good enough for me.

The British, it seems, have done a lot of damage to our psyche.

And, It will take eons of years to repair the damage.

It is very unfortunate that some of us think like Oyb, DK, Kobokunkie and the rest.


Colonization is indeed a really bad thing. May God save us.

oyb:
absolute bollocks. that sort of thinking is responsible for so much of the misery in the world.  i'm sure all those who have looted our country blind were very happy when they did so.

we should allow her to make fools of nigerians because it makes her happy?

How is she making fools of Nigerians?

Do you judge the Italian people by Berlusconi's Actions?

oyb:
we do get it

she should stop speaking in public, since she cannot speak presentable english.

is that too much for you to understand?

is it by force to showcase your illiteracy?

She has the right to live her life however she deems it fit

She , like the rest of us, has the right to do whatsoever that makes her HAPPY.

oyb:
i have no problem with typing , writing or speaking in english.

you are the hypocriite making ridiculous excuses for ILLITERACY and blathering about official languages and making ridculous wikipedia quotes to hide your stupidity

amazing that someone who is schooling abroad is defending [b]illiteracy [/b]in public figures who shoule be role models

oh i forgot

unearned wealth is more your style. are you sure you aren't related to one of our thieving minerals= coke and fanta senators?  

Are you calling her[b] illiterate[/b] again?

Look seriously, what is your problem?

How is she an illiterate, please explain.

Jah Man:
@fstranger,bluetooth,Aigbofa 'la nwoke',etc,

Do you really represent the yoruba tribe?If yes,then shame on 'you' all.
I called a yoruba colleague to come and see what you guys type in NL and he was shocked.Why?He thought that the majority of NLs are enlightened,and if they can be this tribalistic,then,there seems to be little or no hope for this country.

I like ignoring tribalism,though I have been a victim.After NYSC,I passed Arthur Andersen test,and we were only 4 that passed,but one senior manager then(names withheld) from the west felt I wasn't so good at the 3rd stage.
I applied for CBN job via phillips consulting and they refused to call me and my guys,however my guy had someone from Abuja call phillips and he was allowed to take the test without IV.He came out and told me that 90% of those invited were just from 2 schools, OAU Ife and UI.
The same consulting firm refused to shortlist me for Mobil and LNG test and in the process even omitted my yoruba friend because he studied from UNN.
I passed FCMB test and went for interview panel constituting of westerners only.Aside Bolaji Balogun who was thrilled by my result,others were behaving like they saw shyt.I never got the job.

My 1st test after NYSC was for National Bank,and I was the 3rd nationwide(WAEC exam) but never got the job.
I wrote Nolchem test(now Conoil) but they deliberately brought my offer letter the same day I should be having the interview(and ofcourse I was already working) and so tried the next day,but they couldn't attend to me.

I wrote FBN test(WAEC also) and 15 minutes when we entered the hall,some yoruba boys were already submitting.We later found out that their relations in WAEC 'leaked' the exam for them.

I will go on and on.That is where tribalism pains me most.If it's about politics,let anybody enter there and if he performs,who cares about his tribe.But I am indeed really sorry to say this,the yorubas take this tribal sentiment too far even into professional business/career.
The North, yes, is doing it so as to get a slot even when they are not qualified.I sympathise with them.But the yorubas keep 'cheating' people with the myth that they are the 'better educated' ones and so should ordinarily have more share of whatever job/career.This is not true.
Let me stop here,but I will advise, those guys I mentioned above should learn to keep tribalism out of what they are known for in NL.

That says it all, my guy!

oohh i see, that u pass through the us but it doesnt pass through you. i should have known you are the sort of sycophant that we are so familiar with in nigeria, the type that will eat teh focal places of our illiterate big men because they have stolen our collective money . smh . i am ashamed to be from the same tribe as you  

What tribe are you from?

I am not sure what tribe I belong to, may be you should enlighten me more.

oyb:

Does public figure make you feel better

or was the king a politician?

why don't you start posting in yoruba if you're so riled

oh i forgot, there is NO WRITTEN INDIGENOUS NIGERIAN LANGUAGE

our languages are written in the English alphabet (in case that also goes over your head)

The modern English alphabet is a Latin-based alphabet consisting of 26 letters– the same letters that are found in the Basic modern Latin alphabet

You better keep quiet before you embarrass yourself even further

Take your own advice, stop typing since you did not even know that  English language was first written in the Anglo-Saxon futhorc runic alphabet

The alphabet you type in has its origin in Latin, not English

Will you stop criticizing Patience and go learn something about your so called "English Alphabet." You can start from here, buddy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_alphabet

oyb:
you were going on about a first class

i doubt if the good dame has a first school leaving cert  



[size=18pt]WOULD ANYONE OF THESE GRAND DAME DEFENDERS BE HAPPY IF THEIR KIDS SPOKE OR READ AT HER LEVEL? [/size]

I really dont get your point

Life happens

If I had my way, i'd want my child to be GOD, but that aint happen

If I gave birth to a child with cerebral palsy and she reads at a worse level than Patience, would you advise me to kill such child.

I just dont understand you.

So she should keep quiet, stay in a corner and wait for her death just because she couldnt speak like the Queen?  Your level reasoning is worrisome

oyb:
dude,

if she was a fish wife in some village, she is free to tabon tabon all she wants .

however, she is the first lady of the federal republic of nigeria,

by that alone , she is a representative of nigeria

i have been posting the first lady's speech and it has been going over people's head's

so

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_king%27s_speech

the modern politician has to have carriage poise etal. there is no way around this.

Are you drunk?

When did GEJ's wife become a politician?

Well you can call her the first lady, all you want. Did GEJ ever introduce her to you as First lady?

Did OBJ have any First lady?

You guys are just crying foul where there is none.

I see nothing wrong with her speech.

She, from her speech, acted like any other Nigerian woman of her age.

First ladies dont just fall from sky, they are people like you and I?

If your mother can speak like the Queen, good for you. Most of us cannot, and I see nothing wrong with that!

Maybe you should spent more time improving yourself instead of finding faults with someone who can take care of your sorry azz for the rest of your life without shedding a drop of sweat.

@ Rhino

Chinese people doesnt have to understand English because it is not their official language. Plus there are more than 3 billion people speaking Chinese and that's more than 3 quarter of the world's population. If you find a chinese speaking english language, its only a plus to him/her, so say something else my friend.

And it seems most of you guys have forgotten that we are talking about a first lady here. First lady of over 150 million people, is she crazy? her supporters, are you all in sane? My mom could get away with that. She could get away with it being Goodluck Jonathan's wife (if she wants to be Goodluck's wife, let her cook and wait for him in the state house) but she sure can not get away with it being the First lady.

Who was OBJ's first wife

Despite what your delusional state ,may make you think, the office of the First lady is not recognized by the constitution. In that case, i see no difference between your mother and GEJ's wife.

oyb:
please do tell, what is our constitution written in?

I dont care

There is a Spanish version on the US constitution, does that make Spanish US official language?

^^^^

Freedom of speech, you cant deny her that, will you?
