what we must do is to get rid of those that have nothing to add to our democracy.[/quote]So is there any justification for their disenfranchisement?

Why do you think they shouldnt be allowed to have a say in the kind of leaders that rule over them?

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=582591.msg7500451#msg7500451 date=1294659664]If all those illiterate delegates happened to be in the class of sarah palin,i'm sure Nigeria would have been a better place than this.
Every tom,di-ck and harry want to steal money without adding any value.rubbish ![/quote]Are you trying to say that it is right for Chuba Okadigbo , OBJ, Tinubu, Andy Uba, Bankole to steal, and it is wrong for someone like Omisore to do the same?

I dont get your point really!

All d same goodluck 2u madam though im nt one of your fans

I actually like Kema Chickwe since her days in Aviation, the only Igbo woman I like

But all these internet warriors with their child-like chest beatings infuriate me and I just felt like I needed to talk some sense into their thick skull.

You seem like a nice guy, sorry if you feel offended by my previous post!

@all, it is really true that some tenants are bad and refuses to pay dia rent when the paid ones expires, but come to think of it, because a particular person got drown in a river, does it mean other people will not go dia to fetch water, becos a particular tenant behaved irrationally, does that mean landlords will have to make other people suffer,
The economy is bad, the government is actually sleeping or turning deaf ears to the cry of the citizens, can't we the citizens help one another. [b]I know areas in Ikorodu that will allow a year option but does it make sense. I work in surulere, coming to surulere from ikorodu, monday to friday, will be so hectic. [/b]I know it is even to our own advantage if we can pay for rent in advance, afterall, after paying for 2 years, it is not [ossible for the landlord to come back after a year and tell us that he wants to increase his fare, but what when the cash is not available, can't the landlords consider that.
The worst part is, most of dis aganets that ask for hue amount actually resides in some rickety houses and cant pay such an amount just like most bus conductors cant pay bus fares but always hang on buses when they want to go out.

God help us o

Why are you complaining?

You dont always get what you want.

You need a place to live, you got one in Ikorodu, why the fuss?

I did the same thing when I was still in Naija. It was a long drive, but not un-doable. If i were you, i would take it, pending when something better turns up.

The problem with Nigeria is that we complain about everything and would rather have everything the easy way. Very unfortunate.

[quote author=tpia* link=topic=582709.msg7499616#msg7499616 date=1294650070]they might have to start revising the grading criteria to reflect the reality on ground.[/quote]Revise what Missy?

Didnt we all take the same exam before jetting out?

Lets call a spade a spade

The problem is not with the grading system itself, why do we need two parallel exam bodies in the first place?

You'd think that the Sarah Palin would have been arrested by now for inciting people to commit heinous crimes.


Double standard?

When the Military guy committed the same crime, they went after Awlaki, now they are dragging their feet with Sarah Palin


I really dont care about them, They guy is my hero. I hope they keep the killings to themselves though. Bloody racist mofos!


Long live Jared.

^^^

What happened?

Banned again?

Thats unfair to you?


Anyway, Jared is my hero!

Akhenaten:
Igbo women are too much o! I support this move. We Igbos are known to empower our women and they are flexing their muscles. Igbo women are tough.

Stop fooling yourself

Igbo women are thriving because Igbo men are incompetent and have become a minority

Try another way nau, the insult wont do  [/quote]It seems like you have a  thing for madam Kobo, dont you?

Why do you always  attack me when  I try to beat some sense into her.   .    .   you know, I like to watch a girl on girl action. Just make sure to record it and send a copy to moi.

Do your thang girl!

Your head dey there

Orie fokasibe!

seems like you prefer licking to sticking!

Ola edo:
You are right. They've spoken for themselves.Go to the fist page and see my conversation with one.

Yeah right,

It is safe to assume that some deluded 16 yr old is capable of articulating the wishes and concerns of a whole ethnic group!

Akhenaten:
Sorry fstranger1, but if the Igbos leave, I am 100% positive that the Ibibio/Efik/Annang and Cross River communities will leave with them.

Why speak for them?

let them speak for themselves!

This is why I like the American people, some of them dont just lazy around, they take actions


I wonder if there are courageous Nigerians who coould do the same.


I'd personally pay anyone willing to take out Omisore, OBJ, Daniel, Tinubu, IBB.


There must be a revolution in Nigeria too.

Long live Jared, Long live the Brave people of America.

I am for anything , minus the Ibos

I think the rest of Nigeria can do without them Ibos

The SS, SW and North can stay together, Let Ibos leave!

Very stupit!

I wish someone would come out and tell us why they took such a drastic step!

We dont want them speaking our language

Let them go back to their country.

Of course, this is ordinary. I see FBI written all over it!

OYINBOGOJU:
Stick to your opinion.

word of advise,    It is in your best interest to Listen when Learning about a country you have deserted for a long time.

i humbly invite you to come back home and help straightened things out,if you think you have better opinion.

rather than staying in Obodo oyinbo as an Alien.

I agree with you.

Madam Kobo is a hypocrite

Seun should stop her from posting on NL.

@ Katsumoto

The oral traditions does suggest that Oduduwa met some people at Ife but he united the kingdoms according to the same traditions. On the issue of Ekaladerhan, it's simply a question of who came first? The chicken or the egg?Still not sure what to believe as regards as this.  I've never heard Orunmila being referred to as the progenitor of the Yorubas,  source please would like to learn more about this.

Jason, you have Samuel Jason's history of the Yorubas to blame for the Lamurudu version that is taught in schools

I really do not think you can convince Katsumoto

As you can tell, his version is the Edo version of Yoruba history. And, we will never agree on which version is right or wrong.

Look at his post history, you'd see what I am talking about. He has had the same argument about 2-3 years ago, and he completely distorted Yoruba history, parading it as fact to unsuspecting and gullible Nlers.

I am glad there are people like you who are a lil more careful. As you can yell, most people on this thread, other than may be Aigbofa, never took Yoruba history rigorously in school. Even those who claimed to have read Johnson's book do not seem to have understood what they read.

Katsumoto:
Are you sure you want to engage me?

What version of Yoruba origins do you know? I do not want to digress too much from the original topic. You can open another thread.

I have read everything you ve written on it and I have compared it with what I learnt in school, heard first hand from the Ooni, and from other older people. I am sorry, it just doesnt add up.


I dont wanna argue about Yoruba history today because I am not in the mood. And, I have a feeling you are from Benin. If that is true, there is no point arguing because we will never agree.

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=582273.msg7496911#msg7496911 date=1294604915]Yep. Lagos version has numerical and economic might to support it.[/quote]Everything is not about economics! Where do you think the people in Lagos come from? If at all, the language is going to eveolve into one language, the Oyo version aka the one spoken by the ara okes, would eventually be the dominant one.

@Katsumoto: Interesting.

Believe those who seek the truth, doubt those who find it; doubt all, but do not doubt yourself

Katsumoto's version is not accurate! But I can understand why you think it is interesting!

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=582273.msg7496879#msg7496879 date=1294604712]Interesting. . . .never knew. . . . I wish they taught Yoruba history over here.
No, I am not going to read some books. . . .yet.[/quote]Stop posting

Just watch Ok

You seem to be more confused than our igbo brother, Jason!

Let me handle Katsumoto.   .  .

Katsumoto:
Yoruba did not originate from Oduduwa. When Oduduwa got to Ife, there were Yoruba people there and the ruler was called Oreluere. There were at least rulers before the Oreluere that Oduduwa met. Oduduwa himself may have been a Bini prince called EKALADERHAN, the run away son of the Ogiso of Igodomigodo (Benin). The rulers at Ife were from Ugbo (Ilaje); after the uprising, they returned to Ugbo and Oduduwa was asked to become ruler at Ife.

According to oral traditions, Orunmila is the progenitor of the Yoruba race. He had 16 children whom he sent to rule over 16 towns including Benin (then called Ado).

Sorry, Are you Yoruba?

It is important because your version of Yoruba history is simply not true!

jason123:
I[b] also speak the mainstream yoruba as well as the awori yoruba[/b] (because of my stay in lagos). However, I am just happy all the dialects are dying out and we are speaking a mainstream language we all understand.

No you dont speak mainstream Yoruba

What you speak is some ghettorised Yoruba.

Stop insulting the intelligence of the Yorubas.

naijababe:
I think this is happening already

In your dreams!

If you think we Ifes will ever speak the Oyo version, You are sorely mistaken!

naijababe:
In my previous post, I said a Yoruba suicide bomber is a possibility, meaning it can happen not it can definitely happen. The teachings of these Ahlus- Sunnah is so divisive than you care to know. I know it sounds like the most ludicrous thing you've ever heard but these people operate like cults do and I hope you are not suggesting that Yorubas are immune to the cult mentality

T[b]here were times that what I felt for my own parents was borderline hatred . If called to arms at the time, I'd kill them because I would have thought I was doing what I needed to do gain the favour of Allah SWT.
[/b]

Very well said

Do we know each other?

jason123:
So what is the real version of yoruba?

The Oyo dialect. Also spoken by the Modakekes ans some other people.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=582273.msg7496710#msg7496710 date=1294603333]Ekiti Yoruba[/quote]You shut up. Ekiti Yoruba is one of the most ugly version I have ever heard.  Calling Ile, Ule.   .   .   who does that?

jason123:
True! Most yorubas have droped their dialect and have adopted the "normal" yoruba. I guess it just cultural evolution . My mother's friend is egba (owo), though she can speak the egba yoruba, she did not teach it to her children but they were taught the normal yoruba that you and i speak.

What do you mean by normal Yoruba?

Lagos Yoruba is bastardized Yoruba

Normal Yoruba is the one spoken by the Oyos.  Dont let me see you call Lagos Yoruba 'normal' Yoruba again ok?

The Yoruba you and I speak is the bastardized version.
