An moronic imbe like u think u hv an opinion...go back to ur face me ghetto

Should be 'a' before a word beginning with a consonant.

Then it should be 'thinks' and not 'think'

I hope you are not a graduate... because if you are, your Parents would have been better off using the money for Nairabet!

Beverlyjean:
If she can't speak yoruba and has never visited her village...then she is not yoruba

Let me screenshot this imbecilic statement for future reference!

Love sometimes can hurt,a friend of mine came to me telling me how he loved a girl so dearly but the issue is that they are both AS,
After finding out,he has really been sad about the turn of events,
What is your advice or word of encouragement for him

They can do IVF.
They can screen for SS genotype before implantation.

Life is no longer that hard

Your brain is filled with saw dust now it is clear. Oga they were already in Lagos and had put all administrative structures while conquering the south, so it is a misnomer to move all those structures to calabar it is not economically smart.
So stop being stupid abeg.

Why would the British make 1 Coastal town a Colony?!

One town...if it was a village like you desperately want to be true.

How would Lagos, which was a major port for the sale of slaves and other comodities to Europe and thr Americas be non viable for business?

...and it had been ongoing for hundreds of years.

That was also before the returnee slaves came back with all the advantages of the West and settled there.
The wealthy Lagosians amongst them were also sending their Children to European Universities.

Your desperation at discrediting the Yorubas just makes me laugh.

If there was nothing about Lagos, Kings would not have fought for 100s of years to control it.

The British would also not have recognised it as the most important City in the area.

They divided Nigeria into 3, and made just the Lagos area stand alone.
Should tell you how important they though it was

If e dey pain you, sorry!

obyno82:
Did you just see the rubbish you just typed? Lagos Colony was used as a staging area for which they launched into the interior to colonise southern Nigeria. If you are sensible you would see that it was for Administrative convenience, because all their facilities were in Lagos Colony already so it would very costly to relocate all to Calabar. Try and have sense and stop arguing like a 5 year old.

You are not making sense.

1. If Britain thought Lagos was important enough to make it a stand alone Colony, shows it was viable.

Just Lagos alone!
It means they thought of it as a Country.

2. Lagos was where they then moved into and conquered the South-West.

3. Other official/un-official Capitals were Calabar in the South and Lokoja for the North.

They used the placess to then administrate those areas.

So are you telling me, that the facilities the British put in the stand alone (unviable) Lagos Colony was more than that used to administrate the rest of the Country?

Does that make sense to you?!

Except the other areas were dead and not worthy of their investment.

Besides if Calabar was made the Capital of the whole South ( South East and South-south), shouldn't it be an improvement from the previous Capital?

But no, they had to go back to Lagos again.

Once again supporting the point that Lagos was an economically viable and organised town.

Live with it!

tishbite42:
No tribalist allowed anything
The British handed over to capable brains and hands
Live with that

Is that how they choose VCs in your Village.

Someone just handsover to another person?

A Council does not vote?

obyno82:
Oga you see the problem with lies ehnnnn there is always an expiry date. Lagos Colony was actually left on it's own and there was now Southern protectorate with Calabar as capital and then Northern protectorate. Later on the Lagos Colony and Sputhern protectorate were merged with Lagos as the capital territory, after that in 1914 the both protectorates were amalgamated. Make una dey stop to dey lie..... see we are ready for you guys any angle you want to use to spread lies we are ready. The lie has expired.

What gibberish have you spewed!
Does it make any difference?

So, why did they not continue with Calabar as capital?

An invading force will use the best available resources and not start building again from the scratch.

Lagos was a viable coastal town, and that was why they made it Capital, simple!

I know hate will still make it fly over your head.

obyno82:
Oga once again you are court jester, which is even more demeaning than a clown. If e sure for you Google it and read it, why are you afraid of googling it and showing me excerpts where I lied.

Because what you say, does not make any sense!

If somone claims India beat Nigeria 99-1, must I spend my valuable time trying to disprove it?

Won't I be stupid?

Besides, 'he who alleges must prove!'

So, oga, if you no get evidence, zip it!

obyno82:
😆 🤣 😂 ohhh my God you are real clown walahi. Yoruba extending ended when Gezo liberated Dahomey, so just shut up your mouth on that. Again Britain established the Lagos Colony as a base for movement into the interior it was not about viability Oga so stop being daft and dense.

But the empire extended, didn't it?

Where did yours get to?
From one erosions ravaged land, to another mud laden cave.
Land-locked also!

Besides Dahomey being liberated does not mean Yorubaland did still not extend beyond Nigeria.

The Colonial powers only cut it up.

So Lagos was the only place they could use?

Why was Calabar the Capital before then?

Or why didnt they use Igboland?

If you understood how human settle and how development spreads, you would know why Lagos was and is Viable.

Same way Civilization spread out from around the Egypt and the Countries close to it.

You are the daft one here

obyno82:
Oga please Google it, Google is your friend stop being dense and stupid.

You google it and post it!

Alaye, if e sure for you, post your ridiculousness for the world to see!

By the way, where were those tens of thousands of Igbo Drs. schooling?

Clown!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

obyno82:
Ehhhhh bros take am easy to dey lie. Lagos even from colonial times was a capital territory different from Western region. No western region investment developed Lagos even Odua investment never developed Lagos. After the civil war when Lagos became a state the massive investments were federal investments and that of Lateef Jakande. Make una take am easy to dey lie.

There is a reason the Colonialist chose Lagos-- it was viable!

It had an organisation some other places did not have and was close to the coast.


The White man did not make Yorubaland.

The white man did not extend the frontiers of Yorubaland into 4 African Countries.

Yorubas did!

So please don't try to discredit those who worked for it.

obyno82:
You want evidence. Please read the book History of Education by Prof Babatunde Fafunwa where he outlined the education trend between the three regions from 1940 till 1967. The civil war caused a slow down in enrollment figures but right now check it the south east has overtaken in enrollment figures once again.

You can screenshot the relevant pages please, and save me the stress.

Also Professor Fafunwa said you had 1 Dr for every 100 people?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Clown!

obyno82:
But Zik and M.I Okpara were doing things without crude oil, but with coal. Western region had only Ijora power station, but east had Oji River and Afam Power stations. You had Ikeja industrial estate, we had TransAmadi, Aba, Onitsha, Nnewi industrial estates. The Eastern region had better school enrollment number which made Awo in 1955 to introduce free education to catch up with the east. In medicine the ratio of doctors to people was 1 to 100 in the east, 1 to 500 in the west and 1 to 2000 in the North. Bros Park well abeg, you guys love this superiority complex and yet you have no knowledge of history.

Do you have any evidence to proove this hogwash
🤣

So for every 100 people in the East, one of them was a Dr?

In the 50s?

Did you get these lies from your Radio (Biafra) Propaganda?

Awolow trying to play catch up with who...?
Zik?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Occurstaem:
You have no evidence.

Kai!

See evidence!
See finishing!

I am sorry, but you are bastard!
🤣🤣🤣

That guy will not sleep tonight.

dominic17:
Ojo

I am sure you will find a buyer if you are willing to sell.

Personally, I will only be willing to buy property on the Island.

So maybe sell and leave the 'disgusting' Sad Waste?

What do you think?

dominic17:
If you can afford to pay for it I will be very glad to sell it

Where is your property?

dominic17:
It is only coward that will leave what he bought with his money just because the seller wants to claim it back without refunds

Then sell the property and leave!

Is it too hard?
Don't you want Biafra again?

oyebanji44:
what they did to you people at the governorship election in lagos.so to you was a child'play abi ...

dey play....

Won lu won baaje!
🤣

Absuchat:
So why did you lose Ilorin to northerners?

Well, the Yoruba empire extended from Nigeria into Togo, Benin, Ghana...

I dont think that is too bad, if it is only tiny Ilorin you will keep frothing at the mouth over.

Besides, how come your ancestors could not extend beyond the erosion ravaged forests you are from?

Whilst men organised themselves and built empires, you ran around naked in the bush!

Bliss62:
Northerners are cool people wey no dey chest beat

If you Ipob self calm down we will properly accommodate you without any wahala

Northerners are very humble people.

The 1 year I spent with them, taught me a lot.

successmatters:
What about the millions of northerners that troipnin with free Dangote trailers

The whole Nigeria developed Lagos.

Why did they not develop where you are from?

tishbite42:
This was done in Yorubaland

And so...?

What does that prove?
That the 'tribalist' Yorubas allowed your sons to head some of their institutions whilst that was not reciprocated?

Or does it prove you you had the first well educated Nigerians in the Country?

tishbite42:
Kenneth Dike was the first indigenous principal of the University College, Ibadan
Eni Njoku was the first VC of Unilag
How uneducated is that, dummy?

Don't think that is worth bragging about.
🤣

VEHINTOLAR:
The only known "Warrior" in Igbo land is that fictional character in Chinua Achebe's play -Things Fall Apart,so what's this chestbeating all about,man ? Even those whose territories extended far beyond the shores of today's Nigeria are not even bragging or making any noise about it,why is it always you Igbo people ?! Every little thing,you guys will just come out from your holes and start spewing gibberish !

As far as this data is concerned,take it or leave it,it shows,very clearly,that women in Igbo land are economically very weak and are not in the same league as their counterparts from the other regions of Nigeria. All this your "culture of inheritance" noise is nothing but excuse !

Warriors that were still living in caves when the British came?
🤣

More like E-warriors.

BreconHills:
So the girl child is a second class child? Just asking based on what you wrote above. Even in biblical times women bought property from their own money Proverbs 31:16-18. If descended from the Jews surely the SE should rank high in womens property titles. Or are there different strands of Jewish thinking?

Descended from which Jews?!

Every heard of delusions of grandeur?!

Na mental illness o!
🤣

I don't think anything could be dumber!

So students that read their notes/textbooks from their phones on the bus, on the toilet, whilst eating are not 'intentional'

You see how religion has screwed your brain?

Advancedman:
The Father lied almost all through.
26, and uk breed, stays off men then boom coerced by a friend who introduced the guy then blah blah blah unprotected sex, STD, gift turning to loan without written agreement, mysteriously found out she was expecting money yet in all this the daughter never listened to the father, mother or anyone else with sane counsel from her so-called social circle.

The story does not make sense.

What did thr girl do that made the guy blackmail her?

All the things said don't hold water...

So what if she used stimulants, does that change anything?
Is that something people kill themselves for?

Abegi, make dem talk true!

vannessa7:
Lies from the pit of hell, igbo women hankering after Yoruba men all over the place and igbo men running after Yoruba women like kilode, I almost married an igbo man because of several advances from igbo men, one was so heart broken I turned him down he went and married another Yoruba lady and came to tell me after their wedding. I know an igbo woman who told me she swore from childhood that she would only marry a Yoruba man, I was stunned when she said that, there are many normal Yoruba/igbo marriages without much money, the wife being igbo, we only hear about the celebrity own because they are famous. It's only on nairaland that igbos are working hard to create enemity for their tribe, many igbo people who don't come to nairaland are not toxic.

I know 3 igbo girls that swore never to marry Igbo men, but Yoruba.

One of them is married to a Yoruba guy already and flaunts it on social media, so...

Don't know what these people go on bragging about.

emmanuelbrown26:
Lolssss, abi u tink say na person go rubb Fanta and Pepsi for body Mak en white and sharp like igbo people?
Very soon cancer go dey visit most of ur people bcs of too much bleaching

Sorry, cannot understand the gibberish.

...and I am not trying to be rude.

But let me say it again-- you lot might have some things, but swag is not one of them.

Like zilch, nada, zero!

Even abroad foreigners can guess where we are from just by how we behave.

So oga, no dey carry one shoulder...

Swag my black ass!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

emmanuelbrown26:
U are just mentioning celebrities, chaiiii so that what u could bring out?
Why is it that any handsome dude in Yoruba land is refer as igbo
Any beautiful lady is igbo
Any fair person is igbo
Anybody with swag is igbo. Even during election same ting played out

Amybody with swag, Igbo?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Which swag?!!!

This is the most hilarious, out of the nonsense you wrote up there.

🤣🤣🤣

Irony1:
I like how you mask your pain with humor. Even simple integration in calculus you no sabi, so just shut up once again.

Mask what pain?

Pain that you can't think straight?

Or what should I be sorry for?

Only a dummy would swallow Al-Mustapha's lie hook-line-and-sinker.

Think about it, I actually feel sorry for you
