CultureRe: The Attitude Of Urhobos. by IAmTobore(op): 1:53pm On Nov 13, 2016
hahn:
Honestly, I didn't really grow up among the Urhobo but the few I have met are proud of where they are from. So am I smiley
kisscivic:
Tobore how many urhobos have you seen denounce the tribe that make easily conclude that urhobos are not proud of being urhobo?
Secondly if you say urhobo is dominated by witches and wizard, then I won't be wrong if I infer you and your family are part.
I have seen many denying to be Uhrobo. Here in Benin, the ones i know are claiming Benin. Even my mum denied being Unrobo after she broke up with my dad(an uhrobo man too) and forced us(the children) to change our names to yoruba names, it was now that we are grown up that we were able to oppose it and it affected my academics so bad. Even my mum's siblings have tried to correct her but she wouldn't listen. As for the witch aspect, we have alot in our family. Now you see the reason for my question?

Tobore,Uhrobo people can never be inferior,we are proud of our heritage.
What you might say is that a lot of our youths don't speak the language due to the fact most grew up outside Uhrobo land.
As for the witchcraft issue,without admitting,it is a common phenomenon in all African societies.


#proudlyUhrobo.
I appreciate your opinion. Please help me invite more uhrobos to share their views.

CultureThe Attitude Of Urhobos. by IAmTobore(op): 8:02am On Nov 13, 2016
I will go just straight to the point. Why do people of the Urhobo ethnic group deny/denounce their ethnicity, and is it true that the Urhobo ethnic group is mainly made up of witches and wizard?

I am asking because i am an Urhobo boy that has been affected by this show of inferiority. Please your candid opinions will be appreciated.

CelebritiesRe: MTV EMAs: Alikiba, Not Wizkid Should Have Won - Tanzanians by IAmTobore(m): 4:40pm On Nov 11, 2016
Dottune:
The recently concluded MTV EMAs Awards saw Nigeria and Africa’s biggest Artiste at the moment, Wizkid bag two major awards for Best African Act and Worldwide Act adding to his list of International Awards this Year.

However, while Nigerians and Africans were busy celebrating Wizkid for his recent fit, Tanzanians went on to Social Media to claim that one of their Favorite Artiste “Alikiba“, who was also nominated for Best African Act  deserved to win the award and not Wizkid, some claimed that Wizkid “Bought the Awards”, even that of MAMAs.

This didn’t go down well with Nigerians who also took their time to lash out at Tanzanians, sayiing that “No one even knows Alikiba”

It should be recalled that Wizkid and Alikiba had an incident last month at a show that Chris Brown headlined in Tanzania, with the latter claiming to be the bigger Artiste and not the former.

And it must be with government money gotten from Niger Delta oil and not private donations like non muslims do.

They need to pray.

Sincerely, if all the oil wells in Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers should be drilled, the whole states would turn to oil fields. Sometimes, I just wonder these state are sitting on so much mineral resources.

Its no brainer that oil is waiting to also be found in the Nigerian side of the Chad Basin since the same geology extends into its already oil producing neighbouring borders. Same also applies to the Benue trough and the Sokoto/Niger axis.
Very soon the north will also be swimming in its own oil and the real hateful parasites will be silenced for good - as they are already silenced by their visible absence from this thread.

PoliticsRe: This Wole Soyinka Is Very Crafty. Igbos Beware! by IAmTobore(m): 2:28pm On Jul 17, 2016
Rossikki:
Actually, the Chinese haven't invented much of late... What they've done is 'replicate' what is out there, at lower cost, and in vast quantities. Igbos will thrive if they do this in the Nigerian context. Nigeria has leverage that can help them cut trade deals which a small 'Biafra' cannot. Can Togo or Sierra Leone cut international deals with the major powers? Or even with middle powers? For where? Their own is to take orders from the IMF, World bank etc. If they step out of line, those organisations will shut down their economies the next day. That is the level 'Biafra' would be on.
The bolded part got me cracking hard. I just hope everything dies down and fall into position. But i think if we want this country to be better, we should start from the legislature.
PoliticsRe: This Wole Soyinka Is Very Crafty. Igbos Beware! by IAmTobore(m): 4:52pm On Jul 16, 2016
Rossikki:
You will become Singapore? Do you have any clue how Singapore came to become a developed economy? How they and a few other Asian states were granted special, unrestricted access to western markets and capital after WW2, to help create capitalist bulwarks in Asia to counter rampant communism? What comparable impetus will drive them to grant Biafra similar benefits to catapault its economy? Africa was long ago designated by them as a source of raw materials, and nothing else. Trade barriers are in place. Even within Africa, countries are erecting protectionist policies to guard their local industries. So the only real market Igbos have access to is the Nigerian market. A 200 million strong market. Pure gold for an industrious people. And that, you want to run away from. The very definition of economic suicide. Your Biafran movement needs more intellectuals, and less Onitsha traders. You have no clue how the world operates.
They keep calling themselves "China of Africa", and i keep wondering what they've ever invented. Even the mallams event better than them. All i see for their Biafra is "Lesotho in the making". Them no know say the name Nigeria is a blessing to who ever bears it all over the world. Infact, they don't think at all. Why can't we take advantage of our size and diversity to oppress other African countries?

bluaero:
If were are ever visited by beings from another planet, that would be the end of mankind as we know it. Any form of intelligence that successfully visits us (especially from another solar system) would be thousands of years ahead of us in terms of technology.

To make it simple, what would happen if a group of human soldiers enter a room full of cockroaches?

1. Will they look for the leader of the cockroaches to discuss with him?
2. Will they decide to teach the cockroaches their ways of life and technology?
3. Or will they simply eliminate ALL the cockroaches and use the room for themselves?

The correct answer to the question is what will happen to humanity if we are visited by any intelligent alien life form.
Why did you use cocroaches as example? Why didn't you use scorpions or bees?

PoliticsDemocracy And The Youths by IAmTobore(op): 6:02pm On May 29, 2016
Democracy they say is a government of the people, by the people and for the people. But in most cases all over the world, the so-called people's government has been turned into an avenue for enriching individual pockets, staging regions against each other, and even at worst; sponsoring terrorism.

Nigeria today is one of the numerous failed democratic states. A failed democratic system plunged Nigeria into it's current state of abysmal. In Nigeria today, tribal conflict is soaring at it's peak. Electoral candidates are selected not based on competence and credibility but rather based on tribe and religion. Political campaigns are characterised with thuggery. Electoral rigging is the art of the day. Only the elite class have a say in the country's affairs. The rest of the citizens show less concern. And even the youths always make themselves available as ready-made weapons for the politicians to carry out their conflicts whenever they have minor disputes.

Today, some regions of the country are planning to secede, and majority of the citizens are showing support without having the thought of the kind of selfish leader they would have after secession. Well I can't blame them, because I think they are pissed-off with the bad display from the youths.

This article is however aimed at the youths. Our role in the society, our significance in the development of Nigeria, and our relevance to our communities. Do we stand together to see the agenda of these plutocrats that disguise themselves as democrats, or we fight ourselves in order for these people to lead us into oblivion? The country is in a total mess today because, the youths show less concern. We rather join the politicians in playing tribal/regional politics because we think that's the answer, and by getting our fellow tribe into a vital position, things will be OK in our region. We always fail to realize that these politicians don't have us in their plans.

I will like to start with my fellow Niger Deltan youths because, charity begins at home. Truly , most of our communities are polluted due to the activities of the oil companies in the region, but I think we are not reacting to the situation in the right manner. We fail to realize the dividends of democracy. We fail to realize that power is not vested on the head alone, but rather divided throughout the body. And whenever we don't get what we want as a means of compensation, we always resort to violence which usually takes toll on the country's economy.

Not to forget, the Yoruba and Igbo youths are not also left out. Their display of tribal discrimination on the internet and in the society is very, very alarming. Not to mention the the northern youths. They are the worst! They never take correction. No matter how much you try to convince them, they will never listen.

Its in the gene of almost all Nigerian youths to serve any politician that comes from their region like a god, forgetting that these politicians are the ones that are supposed to serve us. I am not trying to condemn the youths but rather, I am trying to convince them to change their mentality. All I want is the total revolution of the Nigerian youths.

Before we blame the president for our negligence and predicament, let's always remember the following:-
(1) The local government chairman
(2) The state governor
(3) The senators
(4) The federal representatives
(5) The youths


I would like to throw more lights on the points listed above.

(1) The local government chairman

The post of the local government chairman is supposed to be a platform for the state government to reach out to the locals of each communities of a state. But today, it has been transformed into a means of embezzlement. Local government chairmen don't care about the communities in their jurisdiction anymore. All they care about is their pockets. If we look back to the previous tenure, we would realize that most these local government chairmen have nothing to point as an achievement. All they did was to enrich their pockets.

(2) The state governor

This office is meant to play a crucial role in the development of the nation. But most governors don't care about the lives of people in their state. The politicians become governor and feast on the state, leaving hope for nobody. They owe workers millions of naira undermining the robust budgets they receive. Sometimes, I wonder what they use the money for.

(3)&(4) The senators and federal representatives

The senators and Reps. have a crucial role to play in the lives of the people. But these guys have thrown their primary purpose aside. All they do now is to run after allowances like a rooster chasing a hen. You actually need to see the way these guys throw critical issues aside and discuss non-relevant issues when they are in the national assembly. You only see them on the TV during plenary. Once they are done, they disappear into the tin air, leaving no traces of themselves. These tiers of government receives the most allowances, yet they don't do any tangible thing in the communities they represent.

(5) The youths

I included us because we are the symbol of this country. There was a proverb I came across in a movie, it says; "NO FATE BUT WHAT WE MAKE FOR OURSELVES". We should start watching our counterparts all over the globe and emulate the good things about them. Nigeria is not the only country with diverse tribes. In other countries, they see their similarities rather than differences. We shouldn't neglect our role in the growth of this nation. We should unite! Some people say more youths are supposed to be in government. However if the attitude of the youths are very bad, then I wonder what the nation would be turned into when they are in power.

My advise to everyone of us regardless of our tribe is to stay united. We should embrace revolution and change our mindset. We should let our leaders in all tiers of government know that we are watching them. We should mount pressure on our leaders to do their jobs starting from the local government chairman. We should desist from all forms of tribal discrimination. Before we quarry the president, we should make sure that the leaders closest to us are doing their jobs. I hope to start seeing the changes in us.
Happy democracy day to all Nigerian youths.
