Was me who said this. I should have been more specific about what I meant, or better yet not said at all. In any case, I apologize again for any offense caused.

Most of the time i dont see eye to eye with your views but this time around I duff cap for you, It takes a Real man to admit wrong,

Being a Christain does not automatically translate to being a good leader. This Pastors message is full of ignorance and half truths in most cases outright falsehood. I dont blame him some people down south have set assumptions about people from the North. For example not all of us down North are Hausa. There are over $50 tribes and languages in the North, InPlateau alone there are a 120 lauguages spokens, in Bauchi, 0ver 60, in Borno over 40 different languages. 2. Not all Northers are moslems. A personal example, during my service year, a fellow corper from one of the south west states who had probably spent his years in the same place walked up to me while i was taking a cup of icecream to ask me if I knew what ice cream was and if that was my first time of tasting Ice cream, i let the guy ride in his ignorance and told him, yes it was my first time and ice cream is too cold for me. The guy was grinning and i was feeling sorry for his foolishness.
Pastor reminds me of that guy. What do you say about Moslem Leaders like fashola and Christain leaders Like Alao Akala, Gbenga Daniel, Joshua Dariya, james Ibori. People are bad and good irrespective of their religions. Am happy that religious leaders are taking more interest in politics but they should pass the right message. I went to his Church once in Lagos, in the whole 2 hour show where he kept going on and on only one phrase made sense, the rest was like a one man stage play. Going on about his designer collection and his cars

Bush girl these people are neither muslim nor christian leaders. A christian leader would be adeboye, oritsejafor etc muslim leader would be sultan of sokoto, emir of kano, Boko haram leader etc.

In fact in most cases for the north their political leaders are their religious leaders also because over there they interwine religion and politics.

In the south far from it. No southern governor would ever fight for christian/bible based governance. NEVER, that is most likely in the North

becomrich5:
Is like this. I have been saying edo, delta and Yorubas  should join benin republic . If a pastors comes out and tell edo,delta and yoruba to remain in Nigeria and continue to suffer, I am telling you, religion or no religion in nigeria. people would  leave his church. That is church would become empty. That should better tell you the impact of ethnicity in Nigeria. even if the pope goes to igbo and tell them. THey would give order to igbo never to step thier foot in his church. He would be lucky if they dont burn down that church.

Guy werrin concern edo and delta with yoruba? Ah ah if u wan go benin republic u fit take the OYO route (On your Own). Abeg leave delta state out of your plans,

I dont even blame Yakubu, Kaita and all dem super eagle for performing horribly at the African Nations cup and World cup. Imagine you play your heart out for your country and your country done even show you mere appreciaition.

fstranger:
@Igbo boy

Igbo kwenu?

Nna kwezuonu , Kilode?

Ade na ur papa own Lagos?, Some kain things can pepper the flesh such as the presence of Igbos In lagos, Nna all you can do is complain all day, sharpen your teeth for internet as a cyber warrior but at the end of the day you go go sleep wake up and Igbo man go still dey Lagos,

Geez the way people talk as if Lagos or onitsha or kano are their own countries, Last time I check they are all in Nigeria so deal with it PUNK

DapoBear:
I dunno why certain non-southwesterners are here commenting on this. It doesn't concern your land or territory. Of what concern is this to you all, really?

Well until SOuthwest or Yoruba or odua is a country, Till then I'll continue to comment on any issue that concerns my country NIGERIA so Ndo

IGBOboyy:
Hey guys lets take it easy here, This thread is supposed to be about the Stadium right?

Bia Nwa nna why are you bearing a close resemblance to my profile name? Pachara anya gi o! Ngwanu change Afa your profile osiso 

I got plans to settle back in Naija in about 30years after I have retired, Definitely miss my friends, hood and all In Warri but hey I need to do me  for now and that includes taking care of my needs which Nigeria cant provide (I'ma do regular visits tho and see whatsup with y'all    )

cap28:
hmm i wonder what would make "sir" shina peters attack young, good looking tuface - could it be jealousy

before nkor? Jealousy at its height, Was he not the one that came out with one wack song about henessy or so with all these young cats(MI, NNeka and some other?), THAT SONG WAS EMPTY

jason12345:
all i can say is, igbos be encouraged and don't give up!!! even though people deny being igbo. but first, igbos need to be united before any thing can happen. that might be more difficult as it seems because igbos are very individualistic!!!!

Never thought i would say this But you make sense with this post, The problem with igbos are fellow igbos and not yoruba nor hausa,

alj harem:
look, no one is saying that there are no ethnic group

but for the country to progress, there is need for 247 need to drop there culture and embrace others.

Why dont we start with your people losing their culture and embrace others, Ethnocentrism at its best, Always ME ME ME, MINE MINE MINE, WE the ISH, we the ISh, we the ISh.

noru:
The problem with you Ibos is the non-unity among yourselves. look at the way you are washing your dirty linen in front of the world talkless of Nigerians. Thank GOD we Niger Deltans (South-South) are not like you people.

I bet you this guy would be one of those Niger Delta igbos that would say Ikwerre or start naming their village as their ethnic group. Anuofia, What if i burst your bubble, here is an igbo boy from the niger delta oya go and cry ogbanje

~Bluetooth:
Ijaw communities is defined by water and oil ? Lwkmd ! .If lagos have oil,we'd have seen them coming to claim indigieneship.smh

Seriously what do you take the Ijaws as? Homeless people? Just stereotypical of you to think their communities is just oil and water, Well then again as a typical outsider wetin u know?

Mobinga:
I hate when daft non-niger deltans make asinine comments about the region. If you have no sensible input, don't input at all.

I second that

Abagworo:
From the core point of view only three states are Niger Delta but by extension,the fringes touch all the 9 NDDC states.In Nigeria oil defines Niger Delta.For example Crossriver has nothing to do with Niger Delta while Anambra forms part of the fringes.Another informal definition of Niger Delta is non-Igbo/Yoruba southerners.Hence in[b] Delta State people refer to the Igbos as fake Deltans while the non-Igbos are the real Deltans[/b].

Only people from the Edwin Clark school of thought talk that way, I consider myself 100% Waffarian born and raised. I am Delta Igbo and non of my friends talk about fake or real deltan. Highest na joke about igbo people in general which is ok

EzeUche0:
On that point, then I agree with you. Thank you for the counter-argument. That definitely makes sense. Therefore, with this statement, the geography question about the Niger Delta is correct.

Thus, the Niger Delta is made up of many groups. Igbos, Ibibios, Ijaws, Urhobo, Itsekiri, Yoruba, Isoko, Ogoni to name a few.

Yorubas actually are not part of the Niger Delta. Yes Ondo is an oil producing state but mind you its the Ijaw communities in Ondo is where the oil is (yes they have Ijaw in Ondo)

Y'ALL BETTER GET USED TO IT COS THIS IS JUST THE BEGININNING

1. DURING THE WESTERN EXPANSION OF AMERICAN IT WAS THE [B]NATIVE AMERICAN BEING DEPICTED AS SAVAGES[/B]

2. DURING WORLD WAR II IT WAS THE [B]JAPS AND GERMANS[/B]

3. DURING THE COLD WAR IT WAS [B]THE RUSSIANS (YOU REMEMBER ALL THOSE RAMBO MOVIES AND CO WHERE THE BAD GUY NA RUSSIAN)[/B]

4. AFTER 9/11 NA [B]ARAB AND MUSLIM TURN TO BE DEPICTED AS TERRORISTS[/B]

5. NOW AFTER SO MUCH CREDIT CARD AND EMAIL SCAMS NA UNA TURN , [B]YUP I SAID UNA, U NIGERIANS ARE THE EXAMPLE OF FRAUDSTERS[/B]

malabite:
What is wrong with tax  avoidance?

my guy abeg help me ask am again, oil money never do them, dem wan add our own personal money join their embezzlement

bawomolo:
a thread about basketmouth turns into ethnic warfare. whats wrong with you people.

Welcome to Nairaland, Its the avenue for people to come layoff whatever crap they have about others but enjoy the benefit of being annonymous cos they dont have the balls to say it to their friend's face,

Nna Ndo but na so we see am,

Ileke-IdI:
Are you sure?

ogbanje na u and ur father that have jewish dna,

Andre Uweh:
Nwannem, jiri nwayo. I hate it when juniors insult their elders. Everyone has a right to make a choice. Do not insult them over their personal choices. At a time Ndigbo were undecided over the matter. But now, Ohanaeze has provided the direction that was missing. From 50 percent to 70 percent within 2 weeks, mehn! hope rising for GEJ. Thanks to Uwaechue and co. Not only in Igboland are opinions divided but amongst other ethnic groups. Respect biko.

Nna men when all this agadi nwoke na ne chu mmadu afa (ne me mmadu ihere) ke di ihe e choru kam me'?

Akin-Egba:
Fasola must also be Ibo, since he is as ug as Obj. All ug Yorubas are ibos.

we can do the ethnic draft here, we take fashola and obj and you guys take dj zeez and soludo

NOW I KNOW WHY SOME IGBOS IN THE WEST HATE COLLABORATING WITH IGBOS IN THE EAST OR EVEN STOP ANSWERING IGBOS, ANYANWU, SOLUDO, AM BEGINING TO LOOSE RESPECT FOR EKWUEME SELF, AH AH HOW MUCH ARE THESE NORTHERS OLIGARCH PAYING YOU THAT YOU MUST SIDE WITH THEM OVER GEJ, THE SOUTH SOUTH AND SOUTH EAST HAVE MORE IN COMMONE THAN THE NORTH YET THESE MORRAFOCKERS WANNA STAB GEJ COS OF SOME KUDI PROMISED TO THEM

HOW MANY CANDIDACY WOULD THE IGBO LEADERS SUPPORT? VERY UNDECIDED BUNCH UNLIKE THE IGBO MASSES COS COME RAIN OR SHINE NA GEJ ALL THE WAY IN ALA IGBO,

BETTER HAVE GEJ GIVE YOU GUYS IN THE EAST LIGHT AND GOOD ROAD THAN YOU HAVE A LAME PRESIDENT, I DONT CARE IF THE PRESIDENT IS IGBO BUT WHAT HE CAN DO FOR THE REGION AND NIGERIA AS A WHOLE,

DAMN

TewMuch:
the irony of how Igbo's on NL have insulted Yoruba's with OBJ.hahahahahhahaha. They didnt know they were abusing themselves. I guess it is safe to say ignorantly now when fighting tribal wars that Igbo's sleep with their daughter in-laws, and look like gorilla's. ROTFLMAO.

u want to deny ur baba enh? na wa o, i think say na only igbo people dey deny fellow igbos, I must confess i wasnt sure about his ethnicity before but once i saw him eating that ijebu garri on youtube o boy the case was closed, that video exposed him as a confirmed odua descendant, Na only odua people dey chop soaked garri like that, he even shine plate,

TewMuch:
Because since the Hausa's believe in zoning so much,and Igbo's have been shouting presidency.Yoruba have check mate both groups.By zoning formula it is the Yoruba's turn.So OP with this your excitement, still nothing for IBB.Fashola 2015!

who dash monkey banana? Fashola better extend his stay of his mini country within a country lagos and forget Aso rock for the sake of peace come 2015

jason12345:
my brother, sorry i came across to the igbos like that .

there are itsekiris in ondo state and also in delta state. i don't think the yorubas regard me as an out-cast. even while i was in secondary school in nigeria, the itsekiris consider themselves as yorubas.

ok,i reduce the way i talk about the yorubas .

but bro, why can we all unite!!!

guy no dey yarn wetin u no know ontop of that they insult your people, I was born and raised in warri, itsekiri are one of the ethnic groups that make up warri Ok, I have never heard any of my itsekiri friends claim yoruba if anything dem dey represent their peeps very well, No doubt there are some similarities in the language and in some of the names but not to the point an itsekiri man would claim youruba

For igbo we go say e fuela, meaning u don loss, If you dont know who u are u must be a FOOL

tell me if u ever heard tuoyo or tosan as a yoruba name?
           
And no istekiris are indigeneous to Ondo state u dum.ba.ss did u even live in Nigeria sef?

saridon_p:
Genetically Nigeria is bleeped up!You might think Baba Obj is Ibo or Yoruba but the old man might even be a foreigner.Which applies to anyone because you grow up as Yoruba,Ibo or Hausa does not mean you are genetically linked to these tribes because there are lots of anomalies in the background of people of Nigeria and so there are many bastards at thesame time.Mandatory DNA at the time of birth will cause serious ripples in Nigeria coz alot of things doesnt add up.I try to weep for that country but its late.Baba Obj grew up in a village in Abeokuta with minority population,fathered by a Yoruba man and he has Ibo/Hausa as friends.Something is wrong with this story,maybe made up to reflect the usual federal character or the man has no clue to his own gene but he is sure that his father was Yoruba.

Gbam, this story is suspicious.

ObJ is 70 something odd years, In his days (pre independence) apart from places like Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, PH and some other few commerical cities that had a very cosmopolitan feel in terms of ethnic makeup

I doubt an Igbo man would be in OBJ's village in 1942 cos it wasn't that commercial wasn't and presently still is open in terms of its ethnic make up

TewMuch:
@Kettykin you must be crazy and confused.What does Abacha,OBJ and Adekunle have to do with each other?Abacha's reign of terror was on all Nigerians and Yoruba's majorly fought till he left.If you have malaria you blame Yoruba's for not coming to cure it.Yoruba's died and fought for their mandate through violent and peaceful constructive means.I know you are a small boy just repeating the vitrol and lies you read on NL. Get yourself educated my dude, you sound very limited.Yoruba's should save the country from failure of biafra/ojukwu, from Abacha, from Babangida,from Yaraduagate.Only Yoruba's!Or else the other weakling's will shout cowardice from the background.Don't worry,Yoruba's will soon come and feed you Eba.

Na Beans? This Super Yoruba you are alluding to Yea we hear but we dont see you ni..as. When it comes to mouth i never see who fit challenge una. Una vokings no get part II but when it comes to actions, O boy na there u go fear fear.

I see OPC boys making noise in Lagos, make EKE show first see discharge wey go occur,

Abeg leave that matter, Nigeria doesnt need to be saved by the Yorubas. NIGERIA NEEDS TO BE SAVED BY NIGERIANS

Nimshi:
So, you think those are good examples? Terrorists, suicide/homicide bombers, etc etc ?

That you count Emeagwali among that deplorable bunch tells you may know a bit about this consumate fraud's activities.

What's bad is bad; let's not sink to the pits in our search for heroes.

If you're keen on one, Prof. Bart Nnaji is as good as any brilliant scientist - and nationalist - you may want to emulate; stop selling Emeagwali, he's an embarrassment to Nigerian scholars.

my guy bia pachara anya gi o, no dey try me
