For me, I agree. Fulani should be politically ostracized.

How do we achieve that?

As seen on Facebook. What is your take?

This type of crass hypocrisy is hard to swallow for many Igbos. But regardless, Fulani is a common enemy that must be defeated

Wrong. These names exist outside SE. Common in SS. Friday & Sunday are not that rare in SW either. Remember former police IG Sunday Ehindero?

The late Sunday Awoniyi was Chairman of Arewa Consultative Forum, the Northern Nigerian organisation and he came from NC.

I know some siblings outside SE called Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday respectively. Only Monday & Sunday are missing.

Post says Geographical South-Eastern (Igbo and non-Igbo) You know what it means to say geographical SE and not political SE, right? Anyways, you are correct about Sunday Ehindero and Awoniyi. But those names are not as rampant in the geographical SW as they are in geographical SE

amarachi06:
Nkaa bu nka anyi!

Hehe!

What is the logic behind ''Ingli-Igbo'' names?
Friday, Sunday, Monday, and (to a lesser extent) Saturday are English words representing names of week days. In Igboland and the entire geographical South-Eastern (Igbo and non-Igbo) part of Nigeria these names are borne by MALE human beings as a mark of their birth day. To the best of my knowledge no other group of people on the planet bear these names; and there is no FEMALE Eastern Nigerian with these names, either. It is exclusively for males. On the flip side, however, specifically among the Igbo, females bear similar names, but this time in Igbo language. There is Mgbeke, Mgbafo, Mgborie and perhaps, Mgbankwo, representing traditional Igbo market days of the week. Curiously, these Igbo versions are not limited to FEMALES. Thus, there is Nworie, Nwankwo, Nweke and Nwafor, borne by MALES. I have always wondered what the logic is about some of the week day names as listed above with respect to gender segregation. Moreover, why do Eastern Nigerian parents not name their children Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday?

Is it Ibo, Igbo, or IPOB? LOL!!!

Expertise:
Christian Dimkpa has 25 years of pre -and post- doctoral engagement in plant-environmental sciences with strong nexus with chemicals. Since 2009, he has been involved in agricultural and environmental nanoscience research, including plant and microbial nanotoxicology, development of enhanced efficiency chemical fertilizers based on coating with nanoparticles, and studies of plant beneficial responses to mineral nutrients as a function of particle size (nano and bulk) and solubility state. He has expertise in investigating crop response to differently packaged micronutrients (zinc, copper, boron, iron and manganese) for yield enhancement, acceleration of phenological development, resilience to drought and disease stress, and fortification of edible tissues with nutrients critical for human health. He also studies the role of micronutrients in improving plant use efficiency of nitrogen, with implications for mitigating nutrient loss and associated climatic effects. An important aspect of Christian’s expertise involves examining how micronutrients influence plant uptake of phosphorus. Experience prior to 2009 include serving as a Technician and Supervisor in banana crop improvement research. He has published over 75 journal articles, book chapters and technical reports. He has given presentations and attended national and international conferences/workshops in multiple countries, including United States, Germany, Belgium, Canada, China, Brazil, Uganda, Kenya, India, Myanmar, Nigeria and Morocco.

Professor Charles Egbu

Professor Charles Egbu has been appointed Vice-Chancellor of Leeds Trinity University.

Professor Egbu will return to Leeds, a city in which he studied and taught, to begin his new role on 1 November 2020.

He will take over from Professor Margaret A House OBE who will step down after seven years as Vice-Chancellor.

Professor Egbu said: “I am honoured to be joining Leeds Trinity; a University who’s values and ethos around widening participation, offering a personalised approach and encouraging all students to achieve their best, align with my own. The University has an impressive track record in learning, teaching and employability, and I am looking forward to building on the strong foundations established under the leadership of Professor House.

“I have already been impressed by the sense of community at Leeds Trinity and I am looking forward to engaging with students, colleagues and alumni as we shape the future strategy of the institution. I am also looking forward to returning to Leeds; the city in which I spent much of my early academic life.”

With more than 25 years’ experience in higher education, Professor Egbu was previously Pro Vice-Chancellor for Education and Experience at the University of East London, where he was responsible for student experience, student success, student retention, quality assurance and enhancement, the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching, and the Students’ Union. He is also a member various external bodies, including the Advance HE Pro Vice-Chancellor Network and QAA Panel of Experts.

Prior to this, Professor Egbu was Dean of the School of Built Environment and Architecture at London South Bank University and Head of the School of Built Environment at the University of Salford, and held academic posts at University College London, Glasgow Caledonian University and Leeds Beckett University (formerly Leeds Metropolitan).

Professor Egbu’s research interests focus on project management, construction management and sustainable development; subjects about which he has written 12 books and contributed to more than 350 publications in various international journals and conferences. He has strong links with industry, professional bodies and policy makers, and has managed several large multi-disciplinary research projects.

Jamie Hanley, Chair Designate of the Board of Governors at Leeds Trinity University, said: “Professor Egbu brings with him a wealth of experience and extensive knowledge of the higher education sector. His energy and vision stood out throughout a very competitive recruitment process, and it is clear that he recognises Leeds Trinity’s strengths and values, as well as bringing with him a detailed understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced from across the higher education sector. I very much look forward to welcoming him to Leeds Trinity University.”

Rt Reverend Marcus Stock, Bishop of Leeds and Ex-Officio Chair of the Board of Governors, added: “Since gaining University status in 2013, Leeds Trinity has gone from strength to strength as one of the three Catholic higher education institutions in the UK. I have no doubt that, under Professor Egbu’s vision and leadership, the Catholic foundation and identity of the University will continue to provide inspiration for its future development and success.”

Since the institution gained University status in 2013, Leeds Trinity has achieved record levels of student enrolments; diversified its income streams with the introduction of accredited work-based learning routes, degree and higher apprenticeships and foundation year courses; transformed its approach to research, resulting in world-leading research and a thriving community of PhD students; and is striving to achieve Research Degree Awarding Powers (RDAP).

Professor House will continue in her role as Vice-Chancellor until the end of October, when Professor Egbu will join the University.

Graysons:
I know you are IBO that's why I avoid you, i don't trust lost Jews.

Burger flipper!! You are Yoruba. That's what most of you are here, frigging burger flippers. That's why it's mostly Yorubas who are angry with African Americans.

Graysons:


Remind me who you are again? I have no business with black America wanna be. Ok?

You are a frigging nobody. I am a Nigerian (Igbo) and I am also American by nationality. Now, who the hell are you?

Graysons:
I'm talking about worthless akatas who kill themselves over black on black violence, or you want me to put to pen how pathetic you ghetto gaggers are?
https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2019/12/22/the-need-to-discuss-black-on-black-crime/

Lol. What is more black-on-black than Fulanis killing other Nigerians like chicken? What is more Black-on-Black than gbomogbomo and ritual killings all across Nigeria? What is more Black-on-Black than deadly kidnappings across Nigeria? What is more Black-on-Black than Boko Haram killings Nigerians like cow? I am Nigerian myself, albeit a US citizen. I am in a good position to say which Black-on-Black is worse between that of Nigerians and that of African Americans. Okay?

sexylassie2:


continue deceiving yourself

AA are aggressive to Africans, so who is the bootyscratcher if they were so nice

You have made my point. You are their bootyscratcher and they are your bootyscratcher. You and the ones you mingle with compete at that bootyscratching level.

Terryishere:


Why are your murdering heros being prosecuted if they did nothing wrong? Why do some of their fellow officers find them appalling?

Please stop wasting time with ignorant losers

sexylassie2:


You are very ignorant. MOST AA HAVE NIGERIAN ANCESTRY, most ridiculous statement ever on Nairaland

for your information, AA despise anything African, they hate Africans, if you think they accept you, go work with them

Lot of Africans hate AA and they hate us back.

You must be working at Walmart or Burger King where angry African immigrants (like you) and angry AAs meet and compete for low paying jobs. That is very understandable. Where I (also an African immigrant) work and earn my cool 6-figure pay I have several AA colleagues and we are cool with each other.

sexylassie2:
shame to people idolising criminal George Floyd

This criminal was an armed robber who did a home invasion into a house of a black pregnant woman, threatened her with gun and stole her stuffs
This criminal is a drug dealer
This criminal also act porn
the criminal is 40 years old and cant put his life in order.

Those people who suffered in this criminal hand, do you think they will be happy seeing this criminal as a hero to thousands of gullible people.

I believe in Karma and Karma did a good job by removing the criminal from earth.

Total thrash. Complete tabula rasa

Terryishere:


Shame on you for being too naive to understand
that the protest is not about George Floyd. It's about the corrupt police department and the injustice in the US. Regardless of what Floyd did in the past he paid for it with time in prison, regardless of what Floyd did in the past had nothing to do with him being murdered. The police are supposed to serve and protect they are not the judge, jury and executioner.

If you believe in karma then the murdering police officers will have the same destiny as Floyd.

Please don't mind the extremely and dangerously ignorant people on this forum

Terryishere:


They despise us simply because the people they idolize (whites) despise, us without even meeting one black American in their lives. It's out of ignorance.

Lol. Most African Americans (AA) have NIGERIAN ancestry. So, not sure any real Nigerian will despise an AA and vice versa. May be you misconstrue negative online banters with despise?

kabillionaire:


I can see you're hell bent on associating such a devilish person with naija.
Do you think it's only someone that pulls a trigger that kills? anyone involved in the planning, abetting or whatever name you call it too is guilty of murder.
For example; those sponsoring terrorism, rituals and kidnappings in this country are all murderers.
For his name, na waoh for you oooh.. which one come bi keung again biko

Just shut up with your ignorance. No one called him Nigerian. He is an American with a Nigeria ancestry from the father's side. Most African Americans have Nigerian ancestry too.

kabillionaire:
which Nigerian-American? when did Nigerians started bearing the name"keung"?
must you associate every evil with naija?
we only know how to scam abroad, not to kill innocent blacks, biko

He did not kill anyone. He is accused of abetting. That in this case means watching when another person killed and not intervening when he should have. Talking about name, what does Mercy Johnson or Herbert Macaulay mean? Is that Nigerian or English?

Mightyhaiz:
was he not the bloke shrugging indifferently to the lady questioning him at a mall.. he is arrogant and without qualms..

I expectorate thickly on his bald head

Yes, he is the one. His little saving grace is he is not the one who chocked Floyd to death. So, he could get may be only 10 years.

Ugaboy:
ok...so what are they insinuating...nigeria blood led him to d crime

Nobody is insinuating anything. The fact is just being made that he is an African American of Nigerian fatherhood.
