alizma: this is just one of the problems with the igbos and that is why you keep on failing in politics. you are so much buried in the past figures that you have lost your analytical skills. I will ask you just few questions and I hope you answer them sincerely. 1)do you understand both arithmetic and geometric progressions(A.P&G.P)? 2) do you agree with me that between the period, 1933 and now, the average woman marriage by a Yoruba man can be reasonably put at 2 while that of an Igbo man can be put at 1? 3) do you also agreed that going by the number 2 above, average children in a Yoruba man's household can be reasonably put at 8 while that of an Igbo man can be put at 4? 4) if you agree with me, 80% on the above, going by your understanding of A.P and G.P, which tribe in 2016 should have a higher population?
Ur 4 questions are stupid, baseless, senseless n false
Terrorism + Internet fraud + drug pushing = battered, shattered, irreparable tainted international image to detriment of this hell hole called Nigeria.
Yall so called big three tribes are largely the sole reason why this country is what it is today. We in the minority tribes deserve a downright apology as una (hausa, Igbo and yoruba) don spoil all our name finish come make us dey carry cross wey no be ours dammit, fuuuk yall!
MayorofLagos: Igboid, You ibos told us that Yoruba was limited to Oyo only and that Lagos is Awori, Ogun is Ijebu and Egba, Ondo and Ekiti are Ijesha and Ekiti people, Kwara is fulani.
So the population you are looking at coincides with the era Ibos concluded as distinct people of Western region identifying by their dialect and is excluded from Yoruba,which according to you is OYO only.
So, the population count you are looking at and giving comparison is just Oyo against entire Iboland.
How do you feel?
How can a human being sit down & comfortably write trash?
Igboid: For example, in CIA world fact book. You find ridiculous claims like this:
Hausa and Fulani
29% Yoruba
21% Igbo
18% Ijaw
10% Kanuri
4% Ibibio
3.5% Tiv
2.5%
Who exactly came up with those ridiculous numbers?
In what planet are Yorubas more populous than Ndiigbo?
This information from CIA world fact book seem to have originated from Nigerian sources and was politicized before submission to them. It simply has no source or ground. Just from thin air and must be debunked until Nigeria adds space for ethnicity in the next census.
These figures cannot come from CIA world fact booo sha
omonnakoda: Stop telling stupid lies that have already been debunked. There was no census in 1933. I challenge you to prove otherwise. THe British did an estimate and it is clear their premises were not well informed. Again you tell stupid lies when you say groups were captured. I already addressed this before. No Itsekiri ,No Urhobo,No Ogoni and the list is endless. There was no credible census in Nigeria before 1950s and even those were hotly disputed but that is the first time there were real censuses in Nigeria. The others were all based on guesses and projections taken at different times(several years apart) in very limited parts of the country
Please tell us what are these figures based on Is it a census. Simple YES OR NO
Then tell us what year the Census was conducted before being reported in 1933.
Please answer these two simple questions and stop all the dodging and ducking
Jamesbally: True talk. Mazi BUHARI has done in 6 years what PDP Couldn't do in the EAST for 16 years. We Igbo's hold President Buhari in high esteem. We see him as our Messiah.

The problem I have is that, the girl's family come to greet almost every time and when they come they eat like elephant, anything eatable they eat it, they don't use eyes to see bread tea or butter in my room, they will finish it within a day, I will end up spending a lot during the time, when I noticed that it becomes offen i started telling my wife that I am broke, I don't have money. Although my wife is very nice she earns salary of 40k a month, and do funds and cook many times with her money.

yorubarere: Fani kayode don collect money from APC again to sing for them.
Give kayode some foods and some money and he will sing for you ~ Obasanjo
Fani is one of those few Yoruba I hate to share tribal identity with. They are everything wrong with our race.... Including Muric and that yahoo king, oluwo.
But fani is most hypocritical of them all. Speaking from both sides of the mouths is nothing for him as long as it feeds him.
Cchuks27: I have come to realize that most people on Nairaland don't think before they write. Most people on here kept criticizing the government (of which they aren't right to pull the plug on Twitter but also not entirely wrong to have done so considering the circumstances). Below are my few takes on Twitter:
1. It was highly disrespectful for Twitter to locate their African office outside Nigeria when at least 40% of their revenue in Africa comes from Nigeria. 2. They ought to understand the geopolitics of some countries and should not think what applies in the USA would automatically apply in Nigeria or elsewhere.
Which university did u attend?
" It was highly disrespectful for Twitter to locate their African office outside Nigeria"
seunmsg: Like I said last week, the ban is bad business for everybody. Nigerian users are affected, FG international agencies image is dented in the west and Twitter losses lots of users and also its invisibility.
If the ban is prolonged, Nigerians will find alternative platforms, FG will find a way to launder its batteries image and more countries will ban Twitter if it doesn’t change the way it is currently operating. Whatever is the case, this is not looking good for Twitter.
seborrhic: I was just imagining how possible it is for a python no matter how big to swallow a cow. Reminds me of stories I used to hear when we were kids that a traveller once went to a bush to ease himself. After waiting for long without seeing him the other passengers and driver decided to head in the direction he took to look for him,only to see him being swallowed by a python. It still sounds like fairy tale to me.
Personally from what I've watched, A python can swallow a full grown man, but he has to be unconscious for that to happen. Once a man is awake, They can easily fight off a python.
Even if a very large 100kg python is able to mill a 400kg cow n swallow it, it can never move out of there for weeks and thus is already in real danger
joyandfaith: I wish I am his cousin. I would have been a billionaire by now and would employ some southern fools to sing Buhari praises everybody at rate of #100 per post.
Okay, So ubare a southern FoOOooOooOOooOOOooL den abi?
joyandfaith: Loving their people living in Nigeria is enough for politicians in the South. What did Gej and Obj did for southerners. Both paid more attention to north. Definitely, Buhari has root in Niger and he is paying attention to them.
''Definitely, Buhari has root in Niger and he is paying attention to them."
chatinent: Please remember that your illiterate senators earn over N13m monthly before you comment.
Man's government has failed.
A senator doesnt take home that 13m
Most importantly, money wey senators de chop pass N13m monthly, what is N13m? N13m de buy houses for Dubai? Do u know how much they receive in bribes n lobby money annually?
Please I need advice on this. I was given fasting and praying which is supposed to end today but yesterday night i was not feeling alright then I visited a doctor who gave me some medications and placed me on drug, I'm suppose to use some this morning but I'm afraid I might spoil my fasting.
