Andre Uweh:
The west had no choice but to allow them go. If they had their way, they could have obstructed it.
Agreed, A.G had non Yorubas, but the rationale behind transforming a Yoruba cultural association as a political party that will represent other non Yorubas is what I hereby question.

Can you provide a link that proves your assertion that what you posted above was Awolowo's plan?

tyson55:
@ Ezeuche - I beg to disagree. My dad is a yoruba and my mum igbo. Where i stay, people always ask me if i 'm related to Will Smith.

Stop feeding their stupidity


It has low IQ and low self esteem written over it.

^^^

So because he lectured at Nsukka, that makes him Ibo?


Hmmm

Odunnu:
See kettle calling pot black!

Were you talking to me, sweet heart,?


I fear not!

Andre Uweh:
Just to know why a Yoruba cultural association could be transformed to a political party that will represent all the groups that are not even Yorubas in the Western region.

Let me know if that does not answer your question.

^^^

What is your point?

^^^

I was about to say that, but, I just didnt want to hump the gun.

^^^

So why do keep saying that the AG was a Yoruba party?

PhysicsHD:
Whoops, I assumed Edward Wilmot Blyden (born in the Virgin Islands as the son of Igbo slaves http://news.sl/drwebsite/exec/view.cgi?archive=3&num=148) was his grandfather on his paternal side. That's actually not the case.


So unless his father was also Igbo, like his mother, he isn't necessarily Igbo. My mistake.

I trust you. I know you made an honest mistake.


I doubt the Edward Wilmot Blyden III is Ibo. he actually doesnt look Ibo. I may be wrong though.

^^^

I do want to learn.

Could you be so kind as to tell us what is wrong with his use of the word "spurious"


Instead of criticizing, why dont you just be positive for once and teach us something we dont know.


Thanks Madam Kobo

sbeezy8:
BS the hausas THAT MARRIED into my family speak yoruba and their children speak yoruba. Hausa cannot just marry a yoruba and think they will not hear yoruba anytime the inlaws come. You must not know GOOD hausas people then.

Same with the efik, same with the edo, igarra , same with the urhobos in my family.

Dont mind that ediot

My mother speaks Igbo and Edo fluently and my father speaks Hausa fluently.

He is a confused college kid in DC who hasnt gone home in decades. Very confused kid, I tell ya

alj harem1:


so you spotted that

yesterday an ibibio came here and told him to type ibibio he could not and yet he claims he is ibibio

Just watch, he is going to claim his father speaks Yoruba.

He is a confused college kid, I tell ya.


He has nothing in his brain besides how to make Akpu!

Obiagu1:
One of his kids is Edward Walter Babatunde Blyden. In this day, you'll think they are of Yoruba descent.

How do we know he is Igbo?

alj harem1:
^^^^^^

congratulations!!!!!!

I like your sarcasm.

Liars are very easy to know, init?

Lets do it again!

ASL33:
Its only in Nigeria that people can assume anything to discredit their fellow citizen. You asked for source and one is provided you resorted to duration. Now that he has provided a date from 2005 what else will come up with.

Abia did the same within the same period as well, do you want source?

You dont get it, do you?

There is a gulf of difference between a commissioner and a special adviser. Special advisers are ordinary tea boys employed to wake the governors up and fetch teas for them, they are not integrated into the government per se. Commissioners on the other hand are part and parcel of the government, and it takes trust and a certain degree of political maturity and liberality of the other for, in the case of Nigeria, the governors to employ people of other ethnic affiliations as commissioner.

On that basis alone, no one else has done what the Yorubas have done to enhance and advance project One Nigeria.

ezeagu:
But do you believe that "Edo colonized Yorubaland"?

Yes, I do

The brought civilization to the SW and they taught me how to tamba, now what you going to do?

[s]Isnt H.O Davies a founding member of NCNC?[/s]

excanny:
Dont Yorubas also claim nas?
http://nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-3541.32.html

With your latest post, it is obvious you are having some mental issues

Are you one of the people described in this thread?


https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-548826.0.html

adeibi:
and to think that people are even congratulating the man as if that is what will solve the problem.
this life is really unfair

Dont be afraid, just marry me, I will tear you up nicely.

Digriz:
Why did d yorubas hate d igbos more than any other tribe even more than hw d hausas did.
Am a half yoruba and half igbo bt speakn d truth,yorubas are d most tribalistic than d igbos who ar more open minded and am a living example.

Yours is obviously a mental case!

So stop posting!


Why is that difficult for you to understand?


Demented?

^^^^ the day he was sworn in with craig robinson and his "igbo wife"- i guess shes blonde and WHITE

Could she be Jewish from the state of isreal? May be thats the Igbo connection

Excanny, care to elucidate?

^^^^


My Igbo people can explain better


Have you seen this? Just seeing it for the first time


http://www.compassnewspaper.com/NG/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2276:nigerians-in-us-fight-over-obama&Itemid=7966

And the claiming goes on and on and on:


This is another attempt at claiming Neyo, after they found out that Chamillionaire is 100% Yoruba, by my Ibo peeps:

excanny:
Dude, calling you silly is an insult to the actually silly people. You are DUMB!

How does Michelle Obama's brother marrying an Igbo woman=Igbos claiming Michelle?

Egwe tufuo gi isi. Anuofia.

Because there is no evidence

People made it up just to link Michele Obama with the Ibos

Comprehension problem much?

^^^

They are all Ewus. You really cant argue with them
They are all blinded by their desperate need to be accepted

excanny:
Big lie!    

You care to read this topic to see some of your Yoruba brothers' desperate claim for biniland.

You keep calling descendants of the skyman Oduduwa, and they've always told you they are NOT descendants of the sky-falling man.

Take a peep here to see how annoying your claims are.
http://nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-392592.64.htm#msg7727199

You obviously have comprehension issues

Again, go read PhysicsHD posts

PS; Imma goggle Tiger woods and see if y'all have tried claiming him. I as sure you have tried.

And they've also claimed Michele Obama:
