French Cameroon became Cameroon in Jan 1960,Nigeria also became Nigeria on the the 1st of October 1960,so my question for u is which country was Jada from Oct 2 till the date of the referendum,going by your logic we had 3 countries Nigeria, Cameroon, and British Cameroons right?

Perhaps you want to time travel to hand a British territory over to a francophone country with your troops to satisfy your paymasters.

Before 1961 and after 1946. We had Nigeria (Country), French Cameroun (Territory under France) and British Cameroons (Territory under the British). Many territories still exists worldwide that aren't considered countries. The islands of Guam and Puerto Rico are examples of territories that are not considered countries.

Jada was part of a British territory before 1961, not Nigeria. After 1961 it became part of the country called Nigeria.

Get or upgrade your inadequate education and stop making a fool of yourself online. You are fortunate people can't put a face to the El Stupido that you are in person.

What is considered Nigeria before the 1961 referendum is the colony and protectorate of Nigeria under which British Cameroons is a mandate state,therefore Jada has always been Nigerian territory since thy kingdom come

Stop twisting yourself in a pretzel to now sound ridiculously stupid.

Cameroon was split on 20 July 1922 into British Cameroons (under a Resident) and French Cameroun (under a Commissioner until 27 August 1940, then under a governor), on 13 December 1946 transformed into United Nations Trust Territories, again a British (successively under senior district officers officiating as Resident, a Special Resident and Commissioners) and a French Trust (under a Haut Commissaire).

The Northern British Cameroons which Jada was in, wasn't considered any part of Nigerian territory till the eventual referendum of 1961 after the referendum of 1959 nominated to postpone the decision. It was never under any protectorate of Nigeria, rather it was a Class B mandate state under the British protectorate. You don't automatically extend British protectorate to mean Nigerian protectorate and then pull from within your ass that Jada was Nigerian territory given the above.

Don't be stupid

neyobills:
I have been able to let your see reason that your hallucinations about Atiku not been a Nigerian by birth is illogical and a futile attempt to rewrite history for political correctness.

You can as well extend your logic to every entity under the british commonwealth as native born Nigerians. Don't know how it's difficult to grasp what was considered Nigeria before the 1961 referendum.

You see how dense you are? A complete joke

neyobills:
Sigh......
what kind of Lil jackrabbits do we have on NL now that can't comprehend simple English.

And u too will be saying u have something between your ears while comprehension is rocket science to you.

Your case is indeed different.

And what have you done besides blowing hot air and wasting bandwidth?

Nincompoop knucklehead dragging his brains under his socks. You can as well extend your logic to every entity under the british commonwealth as native born Nigerians

neyobills:
Dude I don't need to read anything,there is a difference between Northern Cameroon and Northern part of British Cameroons,dont let your fingers work faster than your brain.

British Cameroons had a North and South. South went to join French Cameroon and the North joined Nigeria.

Reading is fundamental

neyobills:
Northern Cameroon was never under the British ever,and there is no way Northern Cameroon would ever be Nigeria because they are totally different entities,French Cameroon turned into present day Cameroon while British Cameroons turned into present day Nigeria, what part of that is so hard for u to understand?

Yes he is a Nigerian by birth because he was born in Jada in 1946,Jada happens to be a mandate called British Cameroons under the the British colonial Nigerian government as Jada was governed from Lagos.

Nothern Cameroon under the British wasn't part of the Nigerian entity till 1961.

The only way out for Atiku is to prove either of his parent being born in what was considered Nigeria pre-1960. It's quite clear in the constitution

press9jatv:
the same waec body has authenticate the results of senator Ademola Adeleke too. well it's the Supreme Court that will put an end to it.

He still sent a forged certificate. That is perjury under the law

tactius:
Atiku is a Nigerian

Yes, I don't like PDP, but this is just a long and tired story.

We might as well declare half the tribes in this country not to be Nigerian since most of them migrated from elsewhere to settle here centuries ago.

Or we might declare most of the Lingala speakers in Congo DR Nigerians since they emigrated from here to there some centuries ago.

Atiku is a Nigerian, Buhari has his WAEC ....now can we focus on more important stuff please.

Atiku is a Nigerian 100%. But that isn't the argument doofus!

Is he a Nigerian by birth is the question.

Truth234:
After watching Dana White post-fight interview, I will give him a pass for this fight. He was on vacation when they called him for this fight, he said he took it immediately. Conor will never do that, Dana White actually believe Isreal can be the next PPV star.

Unification is in the work for August, Isreal might just be next big thing in UFC.

Even White admitted this is the best UFC fight he has seen.

Kevin has been in training for this fight, Isreal replaced Whittaker.

He is one of the most skilled UFC fighters ever, it would be hard to beat him based on skill level. He dismantles wrestlers even faster, you won't touch him, he will break you from a distance.

This is a title fight, Gastelum is no joke.

Nigeria now has two world champion in UFC, press are already asking if UFC will stage a fight or do something in Africa soon.

Make we celebrate abeg.

He's had too many fights in the past year and a half. But that's not an excuse in MMA. Kelvin trained for a different opponent, Whitaker. Which was also during Adesanya's last fight.

He needs to focus on his holes and not excuse them away. I am a fan of Israel even back in his Muai Thai days. I want him to succeed

"... Fighting out of Auckland, New Zealand,.. "
Una nor dey listen to Bruce Buffer?

Izzy needs to start finishing more of these top guys. He plays too much.

...By the way of Lagos. NIGERIA

Listen to Buffer again and look at your screen. Which flag was next to his name? Kiwi or Naija?

Yup. Israel Adesanya is now the interim middle weight champ at UFC.

That Yoruba warrior spirit is alive. We speak softly, but carry a big stick

meobizy:
Who cares?
During the match all the commentators kept repeating was ‘he is bringing the title to New Zealand.’.
It means no matter how many times you people ring it they will only recognize the country which trained him.

What flag did you see next to his name and which country did Bruce Buffer, the announcer, say he was representing? Nigeria

Israel is a proud Nigerian. Omoluabi to the core. You saw his Yoruba parents too abi? Dem speak Kiwi to you?

Stop hating. Omoluabis keep representing.

meobizy:
We should stop claiming champions created by foreign nations and develop ours.
Mayweather said once ‘the strongest competitor I ever faced was a guy from Zimbabwe. That dude hit like a ton of bricks.’.
Yes we don’t have the facilities but we can bring international trainers to teach what they know.
Our fighters lack discipline and throw away strategy to emotion.
If good trainers make their way here we can create the next Tim Bradley or Daniel Cormier even without proper training equipment.
I’m not saying we’ll make Mayweather and McGregor types but athletes able to hold their own in weight divisions.

Are you mad? He claims Nigeria in his fights, same with Kamaru. He isn't like Jimi Manuwa that claims England

Truth234:
It was 50-50 and Dana White picked that particular match up to either end Silva reign and launch Isreal to stardom or kill his hype.

Why did you think he was picked against Kelvin Gastelum for UFC first ESPN PPV (200 million subscribers)?

Dana White and the rest of the UFC team understand he is growing on people. In Fact, people are saying this fight against Kelvin Gastelum is the best PPV they've seen in a long time.

We knew Kelvin Gastelum can punch going into the fight, but Isreal was too careful, hence, allowing Gastelum to rock him and touch him up way too much given his height and reach.

However, his takedown defence was good tonight. He will need to do more against Rob if that fight ever happens.

I saw a lot of holes in Israel's game tonight that worries me.
1. He's not using his reach advantage effectively like Jones cause Kevin kept tagging him. So he will have difficulty with anybody with decent footwork that knows how to quickly cover some distance. Whitaker fight will be interesting to watch.
2. He didn't release his full striking arsenal as often as I'd like. Kevin is one of the best, but that fight was mostly on the feet and for an ex Muay Thai fighter, it was highly competitive than it needed to be.
3. His take down defense tonight was great, but how does he handle a high caliber pressure wrestler in the mold of Weidman?
4. He took too many shots in the head, so his movement was pretty flat tonight. But i noticed that happened after Kevin dropped him in the first round. Everyone has a plan till you get punched in the face, according to Tyson. I don't see him surviving a 3rd round Romero onslaught
5. His jujitsu looked sloppy when he tried that triangle. He better not get on the ground with someone like Jacare


Those are my top concerns based on this performance, but Israel learns quickly and keeps improving for someone that just started mma a few years ago.

I'll keep supporting. Now, he better shut up about fighting Jon Jones. Ofe ku niye

The methodology focuses on SWF and all of a sudden you changed the methodology to ECA for Nigeria to make her look bad. Why did you change the criteria for Nigeria Why?

I only pity those who takes the neo-colonialists reports serious, which are usually ladened with subtle bile against Africa and developing nations.

Imagine if it was an African nation that is as confused as the British on Brexit issue and issue of Govt not respecting the will and vote of the people? Your guess is as good as mine.

Imagine if it was an African nation that expelled ICC staff from their country like US did, Amnesty Int'l and ICC will be flexing their fake muscles. Imagine what sort of names western media would have labelled an African Nation arresting minors?

Where is Amnesty Report on American soldiers atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan? How many American soldiers or those of allied forces have they dragged to ICC for such atrocities.

How many IMF or world bank staff have been put on trial for selling bad economic products to developing countries for further putting those countries in economic misery?

Mumu Igbo pascal Dozie brought MTN in to Nigeria

HIS ROLE IN MTN Nigeria
When he was approached by MTN, a South African telecommunications firm, to raise 40% of the funds needed to set up a subsidiary in Nigeria, Dozie turned to friends and expatriates in the United Kingdom.

However, they turned him down saying if the Nigerian government could not make NITEL work, no one could successfully sustain a telecommunications business in the country.

He was able to raise enough for a 20% stake in the company and MTN made up the difference through debt funding.

The venture is successful till date, becoming Nigeria’s largest telecommunications company.
https://www.thecable.ng/close-up-pascal-dozie-the-investment-guru-who-sold-mtn-shares-to-rescue-diamond-bank-but-failed

Telecoms deregulation brought MTN into Nigeria. Not any Pascal Dozie. He was a local investor amongsts other local investors. Stop making a fool out of your self.

Ritchiee:
I don't know whether to call it a problem or otherwise but a lot chunk of Yorubas do not know about a lot of Yoruba' achievements and they would even argue with you and tell you that they have never heard of what you are talking about.
Whether illiterate or literate,an Igbo man knows about Innoson motor while the Yoruba guy does not know about Proforce or JAC.
Almost all Igbos know that they have been leading in WAEC in recent times but Yorubas do not know that they have 5 youngest Phd holders and 7 geniuses with 5.0 C perfect scores in the world.
The list goes on.If it were Igbos that have 3 world recognized Laurel giants like Wole Soyinka,Tony Adegbulugbe and Akinwunmi Adeshina,every Igbo will know them but Yorubas even a few educated ones do not know the worth of these Yoruba international champions.

As I speak,Yorubas lead Igbos in technology,ICT and innovation but how many Yorubas know this?

All Igbo leaders and followers have these village square things they do almost every weekend where they spread these news whether fake or genuine They also have Biafra papers where all sorts of fake and genuine reports are spread amongst the folks.
It all boils down to the fact that Igbos are really putting in all effort to catch up with the Yorubas while the Yorubas are somewhat complacent.

I think there should be a forum where the Youths and Elders interact in order for us to know where we were,are and going as per lapses and achievements.

Yorubas have done well and still doing well but they should not rest on their oars for a greater Yoruba nation,Nigeria and Africa at large.

Empty braggadocio and fake propaganda is not in our culture. It is wired into theirs starting from exaggerated claims of preparedness before and during the war and also exaggerated casualties as a strategy to help them end the war. It's their mode of survival, we have the exact opposite. We simply just achieve and move on. No small wonder we're the pioneers of most achievements in the country bar none. But these folks are hell bent on using fake news to distort the truth.

I agree we should celebrate ourselves more coz history keeps getting re-written anytime these folks bring up yet another revisionist story.

I don't know why you keep arguing with a numb skull. Ogunde, Ade Love, Baba Sala etc had been shooting high quality movies with professional and expensive production on celluloid and going straight into the cinemas and movie festivals worldwide. This uncivilized beast wants you to compete with who was first to shoot with a disposable camcorder and straight to useless VHS tape? Nobody wants to compete with who was first to mass produce gutter movies. A race to the bottom.

What manner of fuckery is that

Loluores:
Lol, funny thread. But make I just use dis time take clarify some language tins for una (no mind me oh, I be real boti but make I try speak small pidgin).

Anyways though, the vocabulary of the Nigerian Pidgin is predominantly from English. A number of words come from different languages across Nigeria though, which means that you probably have some words in your own dialect you use when speaking pidgin. An Igbo person is more likely to use "Nna ehn" than anybody else. Or a Hausa would say "dat one, ba?" Warri will say "Guy kpom, I hol bar, mek we just va go lanson."... don't ask me what that last sentence means oh

Some other words were introduced into pidgin from other languages like Portuguese, Dutch, French, even from Saõ Tomé, way back when the language was developing during like 5 or 6 centuries from now due to contact with different people that landed on our shores from Lagos to Warri (I hail una oh, the headquarters of Pidgin ) to PH to Calabar. The origin of some of them is quite interesting:

Pikin is from Portuguese peqeño (little, small, little kid)

Va or Vamoose is probably from Spanish (or should I say Portuguese, I'm not so sure) ¡Va! or ¡Vamos! (go, let's go)

Boku is from French beaucoup ((very) much/many)

Sabi is from Portuguese saber (to know)

The older pidgin word palaver is probably related to Spanish palabra and the Latin parabola (word, story, parable)

The words yeye and kuku (or kukuma) in pidgin are of Yoruba origin, that is undisputable. It's a wonder you guys even debated that one at all. At least, the way yeye is pronounced is phonologically close to Yoruba.

The Yoruba word yẹ̀yẹ́ is a noun which is sometimes used as an adjective to qualify other nouns. It means unseriousness or frivolous amusement. It could also be derogatory, with meanings like nonsense, rubbish, useless, silly/ridiculous. It's definitely not the same word that you find in some Yoruba names nah, how will that even be possible? The tone marking is different as you can see in a name like Adéyẹyè which is from Adé yẹ oyè as someone has already explained above.
The argument that yeye is from an Igbo word eyiye that looks like it has a similar meaning to the Yoruba word yẹ̀yẹ́ easily lends fuel to our tendencies in Nigeria here to start stupid tribalistic I-claim-dis I-claim-dat fights. There's no point in doing that. I don't speak the Igbo language. But it's a well known fact that both languages are linguistically related. A number of words in both languages are cognates; they are related. Such as the word for cat (olóńgbò, ólógbo), or the sentence "I am in the house", in both languages: "M nọ̀ nímé ụ́lọ̀" = "Mo wà nínú ilé". Whether yẹ̀yẹ́ and eyiye are indeed cognates is for the linguistics scholars to confirm, I simply don't know.

Kúkú is what is called a pre-verbal adverb in Yoruba, which is an adverb that is located before the main verb. Other Yoruba examples include tètè (early, quickly), ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ (just (with reference to time)) and kọ́kọ́ ((at) first). See how these words have two identical syllables just like kúkú has. Kúkú doesn't have one single meaning. Some of its meanings include: rather, anyway, indeed, just (not referring to time in this case), even, etc... depending on context. It has more or less the same meanings in pidgin.

Una is straight from the Igbo second-person plural subject or object pronoun únù, meaning you (all), no need to even debate that one.

Palaver is an English word

Baifrans bombed casino cinemas in Lagos in 1967,do your remember that?casino cinemas ,where they showed movies.you are talking of 1990 video

Why are you wasting your time on a lout?

Computers are based on binary code. Ifa is based on binary code.

Ifa predates Computers. The bigger question is if the inventors of computers got inspiration from Ifa or it was an idolated invention. I suspect the later.

Arysexy:
Afonja is shamelessly comparing Onitsha that was leveled in 1967 to Lagos that did not witness any war, a Lagos that was Nigeria's capital until d 80s, a Lagos that developed by the personal efforts of all Nigerians and federal allocation as a capital. Just as Abuja is being developed today. Tomorrow, some Gbagi ppl will come and claim they built Abuja?

I shame for an average Afonja, if they could only talk about Lagos when Onitsha that had no federal input after the war ended in 1970 could beat their brown roof settlement.

Another brain dead one. Nobody in his or her sane mind will compare Lagos with Onitsha. It's your Anambra brothers making the high jump.

Have you seen me mention Lagos outside of statistical references?

Why will I compare a Figher Jet (Lagos) to a paper plane (Onitsha)?

Do you even read Bro or Sis or Trans?

horsepower101:
Population growth which is what you posted is NOT the same as urbanization/development.

Demographia which actually measures urbanization listed onitsha as the 2nd most urbanized/ built up region in Nigeria and 5th in Africa.

Very soon, it will surpass lagos. Thank GOD demographia didn’t include slums in their metrics.
