voltron: unless my recent promotion and salary increase somehow got out on facebook or instagram.. i really doubt that

facebook. The walls have ears

voltron: somehow you cannot take the tribalism blood out of (BLACK) Africans, it is why we are so backward even when we have stupendous intellectuals in our fold

wooow. Could this be d same voltron everybody in lagos is dying to see?

duni04: From your previous antecedents, we can infer that you deliberately selected this topic and that website not for informative purposes but for tribalistic ones. People like you should be rounded up and shot dead for poisoning peoples minds and always causing controversy and discord

interesting to see that u still live in d civil war era.
***rounded up & shot. Lol
that was d only place i heard that.

since u take pride in giving d dog a bad name; finish it up by hanging him

ogbonge9grian: u de mind seun and him mods? He claimed he is fighting tribalism yet he banned me for giving him a solid advice while the same tribal bigots are having a field day and throwing tribal slurs in the same thread that seun created to fight tribalism and yet he didnt ban them. Who is he deceiving? Seun dont hesitate to ban this my profile o. Dama ur site is becoming too unhealthy and toxic

if only u could just gain from d info & leave d rest.

whitecat007: I think we should do it the right way this time, we must light up every moving thing in iboland. Ibos are just too despicable to allow to walk free among free-born.

yea...thank u for opening my eyes.
That's your darkest secret.

Zoharariel: Sincerely speaking - I look forward to us having "Biafra War - Season 2" in this Country so that we can nip Nigeria's problem right in the bud once & for all b'cos the Igbos are the bane of all the major cities in this Country.

Even most of them in Alaba Market, Trade Fair & Ladipo are all armed robbers, they only sell wares in the daylight & resume robbery at night.

No matter how anointed or spirit filled a Pastor is, as long as the ojukwu blood runs in their veins, they're never to be trusted.

The Hausas are 10,000 times better than the Igbos. Infact, I will rather do business with Hamas, Hizbola or Boko Haram than with the Igbos.

Afterall, most of them wake their fathers up by kicking them in the stomach every morning.

Reading "The Bitter Truth About The Igbo, By Femi Fani-Kayode" every morning gives me so much joy & vitality. U know Y? B'cos the seed of hatred which the Igbos have sown since the era of Awolowo has finally germinated in me, and u know what they say, You Reap What You Sow.

Note: if u're not happy with this comment #In Adams Oshiomole's Voice - Simply Go And Die!#

yea.... U were probably born in 1997...i'm not suprised about your bitterness.
But i must tell u what... Bitterness, resentment & what have u...
It has never taken us no where.
It's a matter of u sitting down & thinking straight & sincerely about it.

The bitter truth about d igbos by Fani was written out of bitterness & in d end contained no bitter truths.

***Fyi, i am an igbo....dont let d name mislead u in treating me softly

bigfrancis21: There are speculations about his Nigerian ancestry though he has not come out yet to address the issue himself. Ne-Yo's girlfriend named their son after his father's middle name, 'Chimere'.

Nas Oludara is African American named after his father, Olu Dara Charles Jones III. The name was given to his father by a Yoruba priest during one of his visits to Africa.

Another person speculated to have a Nigerian name is Kanye which coincidentally means 'let's give' in Igbo. Kanye hasn't confirmed this speculation himself actually.

There's more to the list of influential Nigerians in the diaspora actually. The names given above are only a quarter of it.

interesting...
Only that majority of them are either basket ballers or artistes. That doesnt even make them influential.
The likes of Don Jazzy, Wande Coal, Tiwa, 2face, Psquare, Phyno etc. as artistes are even way more influential

SirElaw: What you should learn is that you don't have to sound so self-confident and cocky, you just might be wrong.
You know why I like guys like you, you make mistakes and bring up excuses at the snap of a finger believing that the excuse erases the mistake. You therefore see no point to learn from your mistake until you make a very big one on a very big stage. Now that's what I love, those blunders are always hilarious to watch
Kontinu

overreaction...wasnt needed

snaiper: Where is my brother,Shaffer Chimere Smith with stage name Ne yo
Imagine a world without "NDIGBO".

na wa o. So Neyo is a Nigerian?
I had once heard someone saying that 'Nas' is a Nigerian but it isnt clear from wikipedia if he's truly one.
Can someone help out?

Must u guys always draw first blood...what is d meaning of...
''Shut up. The link said 50 but you picked out the 20
Ibos. Look at your thread title and what you have
been posting''...
>
If you guys are intellects & really claim to be one, dont come here & use rough, careless abusive languages b'cos d physical world wont give u d chance to do so. (of course a tooth might get knocked off in d process - so u resort to throwing all your garbages here).

He wasnt even arrogant with his replies - just giving reasons & yet some people here are still chastizing. Who then are d bigots?

FakeJews: smh... I only pity d owner of this site

why? Explain

bigfrancis21: When I stumbled across the article, the title read '50 influential...' but went on to list only 20 people. When I opened this thread I initially wrote '50' but seeing only 20 names listed on the original article, I edited this thread's title to '20' only to find out later that the page was just part 1 and there was a part 2 with 30 more names that completed the list. I re-edited the title back to '50' but before I could finish quoting the article here, the thread was immediately hijacked by Hiipower in spurts of bursting frenzy.

Observe that I did not compile those names myself. The blogger and writer of the article yoruba.

u've explained...lobatan

Suarezilla: Stop playing dumb girl. Come clean with ur situation cos a problem shared is a problem solved...if nt we r left wit d notion dat u both r practising lesbianism!

the ''dumb'' word isnt needed

ABEngine: Unfortunately where I come from all these items so listed are norms. We don't expect people to live stereotype lives tho, do we?
How to make the best out of your twenties is to plan retirement at forty even when the job hasn't arrived, everything else will fall in place. I agree with keeping fit quite alright but reading through No. 5 & 7 I suggest we all be cautious of fruitless friendships. I don't think anyone in this era was coerced into any relationship, " same leg you carry waka go endeavour to waka comot and comot alive".

How even do ladies make bold to say they are in bad relationships?? After putting us all through the scrutiny, feasibility checks and ultimately, a so uncertain yet long awaited YES? Did someone skip a routine? Or someone's expectations didn't meet those they have seen at the movies?

Biko, life is too short for one bad second ticking of any ones clock. Stay positive

when will people stop seeing life as short & see it as long?
U want to live 160 before u'll call it long?

i'm wondering how someone will start no.4 in a country like nigeria @ his/her 20s

jideomowunmi: Not dat easy to let go...especially if it's same sex relationship dats not yielding any positive outcome...aw can I tell my mum I wanna stop all communications wit my so called best friend (inquote and inquote) not knowing wats really inbtw us....u don't wanna imagine wa am going thru..just praying I come out of it alive..more dangerous dan wa u cud ever imagined...wit dis..i will stop on dis particular topic...

can i lend u a ''noose''?
U can return it in heaven - no problem

Suarezilla: Yeah I knw its not easy esp when u r emotionally attached bt if u keep staying there whn ur head tellls u to leave then u r heading to a point when u will even consider suicide as an option.....if u really want to leaave then start gradually by avoiding to meet this pason privately, discuss in a public place ur decisions maturedly n see how it goes. For me its very easy cos I hv been thr once

ahhhh. Suicide kwa? She's a nigerian not an arab

Bryan12: Crap!!!!! If I get enough money today I would break all these goddamnnn rules.

until then.

jideomowunmi: Number 5 and 7...d mistake am currently making...wish I know how to come out of it...

then it's not a mistake

Clinton594: Sorry can be used as a verb and as a noun .
As a verb it doesn't have an opposite and most times we use the verbal action part of it than the noun part. That's why its tricky to get the opposite. Because you can't be using it as a verb and expecting a noun opposite

very instructive

geedot: I hope this op is not mistaken, because I feel this should be moved to the joke session..
NB: i lent the wife got
information about both of them are in an hotel
by another olosho student. This got me laughing. Lmaooooooo.

and after u laugh your ass out, u might have to see d doctor to help u put it back.

how about we focussing on the story & not lampooning the english...
Better still, tell him to improve rather than this mumu thing some of u are saying here.

I was there...i saw Abohosandra.
But it was all good. I didnt make it unfortunately.
>
I just dont know, they disqualified all d 30 people in my group. It was so so unfair sha. But nothing spoil. My school (oau) was on shutdown so i wanted to take d advantage...
>
Fortunately we're resuming on d 24th August, so i wonder how it would've been if i scaled through.

Tex42: driver's licence is a must bro,at some point u will be needing it for the driving test.goodluck

so, no drivers license, no qualification? Hmmm

why is this thread so hidden? Took me time to locate it. I just got me a temporary National i.d card today.
My centre is Lagos, which means i'll be travelling tomorrow.
I dont have a drivers license sha.
