STOP SAYING NONSENSE, HOW CAN YOU SAY IGBO MUSLIM POPULATION IS UP TO 2%
DO YOU KNOW THE MEANING OF %(PERCENTAGE)?

I said they MAY just be about 1-2%. There's a significant population of Muslims in Afikpo area and many parts of Ebonyi. Let's not also forget Imo State.
If there are 40 million Igbos, 1% will be 400,000. It's not a terrible estimate.

RevenGeMission:
And some asswipes keep using the word "Yoruba moslems" to insult Yoruba race, you would think Igbos are mainly catholic and Hindus

Of course Igbos are mainly Catholics. They constitute probably more than half of Igbos. I'm not Catholic by the way. Muslims on the other hand may just be about 1-2% of Igbos (and it's mainly cos of their population in Ebonyi. Imo also has a number of them).

Throwback:
He is telling you politely to stop asking a foolish question when you have already been told the ethnicity of the mother to the son.
[quote author=Kestolovee95 post=65926440]Your son look Igbo/ Efik.

[/quote]1. He didn't ask a question. He only made a statement.
2. That the author met his wife in Calabar doesn't confirm the woman is Efik. If the woman writes her autobiography tomorrow and mentions that she met her husband in Calabar, will you also assume the man is Efik? She might have moved Calabar from any other part of the country after getting a job there.
3. Saying that the son looks Efik/Igbo is just like confirming that he has the facial looks of people from the Old Eastern Region. It's just d same way you look at some faces and you're sure they must be Yoruba.

GavelSlam:
You feel insulted? Then excuse me.

Was your opening line not BMC?

Let me guess, those are pleasantries in your homestead.

The government is providing for the children of this country but somehow you are unhappy about it.

They are providing for the young graduates, the low income earners as well as the elderly but deep in you is something that manifest as hate.

Spare me the rhetoric and get on your bike buster.

Bros, the issue is that as laudable as feeding the school children and giving out money to traders are, they shouldn't be done with borrowed funds. You don't borrow money and squander, otherwise you won't be able to repay. You borrow and invest in profitable ventures that when they start yielding profits, you can easily repay your debts. That's the problem with APC government's borrowing. It's better to empower the people, then they can feed themselves and their children.

It was not an achievement while government was building it up. Now that it's going down, Buhari must take the stick for it. Why are you wailers like this?




Crude oil sold averagely for over $100 all through Jonathan's government and not a single kobo was added to the foreign reserve. Instead, what he inherited from Yat'adua were squandered. Buhari met the reserve at around $30billion and has build it up to over $45billion despite oil averaging at around $50 for the past three years but Buhari is the problem. Again I ask, why are you wailers like this?

Jonathan 'squandered' the foreign reserves in maintaining our exchange rate, and that's why life was easy for Nigerians. What do you think would have happened to Nigeria by now if Buhari maintained exchange rate where Jonathan left it? Let's not also forget about fuel subsidy and the price at which petrol sold under Jonathan. Those are all contributory factors. Also, remember Buhari has borrowed more in 3 years than PDP's 16 years borrowing.

Who wrote this story again?
ok, tell the person its all lies. pictures or we will not believe it.
in short, i cant take this rubbish from you oP. just come and apologie.



Nigga... here it was a catholic church and the Bolded was in charge.



when did catholic church start having pastors? Niggga stop this trash make thunder no locate you o.

Do Catholic churches use hymn book? It was probably an orthodox church. Anglican priests are sometimes called pastors. Moreover, maybe they wedded in the guy's church who could be a pentecostal.
Better still, it could be a Baptist Church. They use hymn books, and their priests are called pastors.

This country has gone to the dogs.
If a five star general can go missing
Who am I?


Me taking cover....

He's a (retired) 2 star General. It's clearly shown on his collar.

Oma307:
Oga, Taraba is not part of the North East, the state is under middle belt region. always get your facts correctly before misleading the public

Taraba is North East. It was created from the defunct Gongola State alongside Adamawa. Yes, their people have a lot in common with Benue and Plateau people especially their Tiv nationality (which is the reason they are often called Middle Belt), but it doesn't mean they are North Central. It's just the same way Kwara isn't South West even though they are mainly Yorubas.
North Central states include Kwara, Niger, Kogi, Benue, Plateau and Nasarawa.

stankezzy:
every body must not be a Christian but in nigeria we atimes behave stupidly to disclaim what we know that is a truth , instead of the police to ask him the time and location of attack so that they will go and meet the eye witnesses since it did not happen at night and there is no time in express road that either another vehicle will be coming from behind or will be in front or villagers will be near by , they stay in their office to disclaim an attack without investigation, it looks so unprofessional, do you know that why benny hinn and other pastors are still allowed to continue miracle crusade in American is that if u say this person is healed then they take the person to specialist hospital were more than ten specialist will examine him, they always say we don't understand what happened but the cancer is no longer there , so in nigeria no one is forcing u to be a Christian but be professional in your work

Thanks for this contribution. So on point.

Follygunners:
You get sense sha?

Don't come here and insult yourself. Tell me, what exactly happened? The police statement didn't make any sense to me.

I don't understand this police spokesperson, abi Deputy commissioner. You haven't said anything. Was his vehicle riddled with bullets or not? I can even see bullet holes on his clothes. What exactly are they debunking?

TundeBricklayer:
You can compare Gov Obiano and Rochas in infrastructures, Gov Obiano is miles ahead of Rochas, mind you Rochas is oldest serving governor, Obiano second tenure just started, what he has achieved can be compare to Rochas

Of course it's obvious Obiano is better. I only said that to make a point to the person saying Owerri is better than Aba, therefore Rochas is better than Ikpeazu.

LIFEisSIMPLE:
Seems like you have never been to abia state. Aba is a mess compared to owerri

Ikpeazu has not earned an E for his effort

PDP abia state chapter owe the abia state populace an apology. 20 years of living in bondage

Is it Rochas that built Owerri? Perhaps Rochas is also better than Obiano since Owerri is finer than Awka and Onitsha.

Shelloween:
take Buhari in a wheel chair to Kano, even the sucklings would sing his name.
this man get more followers than Jesus in Nigeria.
no offence to my Christian bros.

And yet he lost election a whooping three (3) times until Tinubu came to help him out. So much for his massive followership.
Abeg, comot for road!

Sarkin:
can you reason he joined as a cleaner due to the fact that he could be what he wanted and God graced him!
Can you study law and apply as a cleaner at a bar? Unless because of harsh situation of things!

And it took him 24 years to be promoted as a captain? Even some babies born in the year he joined as a cleaner have becomes captains already. If we're talking about 2 or 3 years, then it's possible but not 24 years mehn.
Moreover, it's not in Nigeria that a professional will apply as a cleaner in an establishment where he should be working as a professional. Imagine a Nigerian doctor or pharmacist applying as a cleaner in a Nigerian hospital, and staying on the job for 24 years as a cleaner. That is not possible joor!!!

NobodyKnows:
Dude , be objective.
There’s no way he would have been promoted to be a pilot if he wasn’t qualified to be one in the first place

He joined as a cleaner 24 YEARS AGO. So if he was trained as a captain from the very beginning, it took a whooping 24 years for him to be promoted as one? Are you for real?
He obviously joined as a cleaner, then went to aviation school while on the job and having gone through his training as a pilot, he just got promoted as one.
Often times, we hear of people who started working in hospitals as cleaners, then went through nursing school and later became nurses.
It's not very difficult to appreciate, is it?

Sarkin:
Congratulations.

I just want to use this medium to thanks Buhari for putting Nigeria back on the right track.

I believe this man actually studied to become a pilot but he ended up a cleaner, you can see how dammed this country was! But Buhari is making things turn around for us!

After he emerges champion come 2019 Nigeria will become greater and greater.

PDP is a taboo to Nigeria; they say they want to work, I'll say you don't have to be in power to work for us.
When they lose 2019 they can still work as individuals for the country.

A tweet from the airline’s official handle, reads;  “He Joined the Aviation industry 24 YEARS AGO AS AIRCRAFT CLEANER. Today He is getting the Fourth Bar to becoming a CAPTAIN. “Congratulations Mohammed Abubakar from all of us @AirAzman

Read the above carefully, especially the statements in bold, and ask yourself if you made sense.

fiercehillz:
There is something called a waiver...academic feats are rarely celebrated in this country jare. Imagine being the best graduating student in a Federal University and you are officially given 5k with one coloured A4 paper, while your mates that ate free food for 3 months were given cars, 25M, endorsements, vacation overseas etc. I still took my coloured paper to the student affairs department and I was told to come back during the next convocation to collect 5k. Thunder fia una there

After one year, I still couldn't collect the 8k that accrued to me from 3 awards, and I actually went to Exams and Records Office about 3 times within that one year to see if they could give me the cheque to go and claim the money. It never happened. I gave up.

Sirjamo:
Boko Haram are our brothers and sisters - President Jonathan 2012

We are giving 100 billion naira to states to build ranches - President Jonathan 2014

I guess he was an Ijaw Christian terrorist!

An attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North - General Muhammadu Buhari 2014

We know Buhari is a Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen patron, no wonder Boko boys nominated him to negotiate with the government for them, and he's busy defending the atrocities of the killer and terrorist herdsmen.

taiyesoul:
About 12 presidential aspirants alone from PDP, all eyeing Asso Rock seat come 2019.Each of them is willingly pay the N55m nomination form fee.
N55,000,000x12
=N660,000,000

Now, where does this money goes?.

N660,000,000 is enough to develop and sustain a section of the economy.

With this, all Nigerian Poli theif cians are THEIVES.Vote for them at your own peril.None of them is a saint.Our mumu don do.Be wise!

PDP nomination ticket isn't 55m

NCAN: Northern Christian association of Nigeria. Lol

Oh really? Not sure I knew about that. Maybe I've heard of it before but forgot.

Narldon:


When I saw NCAN, first thing that came to my Mind was Name Checkers Association of Nigeria.

Exactly!

The only NCAN I know is Name Checkers Association of Nigeria (on Nairaland). Any other NCAN is fake.

4601CE:
I should leave my state and travel to Lagos to take pictures because some dude is being foolish?

Whatever your state is, can you show us pictures of the train station there?
Some of you use every little opportunity to insult Igbos whenever talking about PDP and GEJ's administration, forgetting that the progress made in rail transport today was initiated and almost completely executed by PDP governments. The Idu Station OP was talking about was built by GEJ's government.
As for the stations along the Western and Eastern narrow gauge corridors (of which Enugu is a part), the government didn't bother building new stations there, as there has been a plan to build standard gauge along the Western and Eastern corridors to replace the old narrow gauges. The new standard gauges would have newer and modern stations. The blueprint was set up by the PDP government, and Buhari has started work on the Western corridor (Lagos - Ibadan standard gauge line).

4601CE:
Shut the hell up.
Why didn’t your hero jonathief do anything about it?
Well, no worries. Buhari will visit it in 2021 .

Can you show us pictures of any of the Lagos stations?

Phewy:
Lol some people can be ignorant
999 actually works too in Nigeria

True. I remember several years ago (I think in 2005 or 2006) while I was in UNIBEN, I dialled that emergency number thinking it wouldn't go through. Lo and behold, someone picked up the call within a few seconds and asked what the problem was. I was afraid. I lied and told him there was a fire incident somewhere in Benin, but it had been put under control. Since then, I never dared dial the number again.

ElectroLyte:
Mod pls change your weed, its 911 not 999

It's 911 in the US and 999 in the UK.
Seems like it happened in the UK.

resurgent2019:
Lol! You just want to believe contrary to all available evidence that Yorubas want you around. Let me tell you something for a fact, my mother is from the SS has always warned me not to ever bring an Igbo girl home. That’s to tell you what other Nigerians think of igbos. Yorubas are tired of your BS hence their apathy and indifference to igbo issues. We are just sick of you.

Those that were happy at the python dance invasion were only baying for some igbo retribution over all the needless insults from igbos, not that they want igbos around. Go to the frontpage and see two different stories of igbos caught with drugs in Far East Asia. Nigerians are not happy with igbos and you know it. You can continue lying to yourself sha.

Your mother doesn't want you to bring an Igbo girl home, the same way an average Igbo family will never want their son bring a Yoruba, Bini, Urhobo, Ijaw etc girl home. That doesn't mean anything.
We only need to look at a few popular Yoruba men that married (or are with Igbo women today) and listen to the kind of songs they are singing. Men like FFK, Davido etc will tell your mother that she is wrong in her opinion.

I will rather have my brother do drugs than rituals or terrorism. As much as I hate the fact that many Igbos are involved with drug dealings, it's not the worst vice in Nigeria. Yorubas are still the leading ritualists and Yahoo Yahoo scammers.

KingLennon:
Yea that's the End of discussion. But Barca fans don't wanna admit the relevance of Ronaldo to La liga. They claim Messi is always the superior.

The argument is about superiority not relevance. Both of them are massively relevant. That's an objective view, which even their haters cannot debate.
Regarding superiority, it's purely subjective. While I prefer Messi, I personally admit that Ronaldo has been better, perhaps luckier, in recent times.

KingLennon:
EPL is more competitive than La liga but notwithstanding EPL felt the lost. Ronaldo made La Liga more Interesting. How many still go to watch madrid games? Many people don't watch the league. They watch Ronaldo. He is a brand that's just it....

I am not arguing that Ronaldo isn't important. I'm only saying that all these points you're making regarding Ronaldo and Madrid equally apply to Messi and Barca. If Messi leave Barca today, that's d end of the club (at least for the next couple of seasons). Messi is the life of Barca, and that's why the club gives him everything he wants. There's no way he will leave. Ronaldo on the other hand asked Madrid for salary increase but Madrid refused. Juve offered him the 500K per week, and he left. Meanwhile Messi had been on 500k (or is it even 550k) for a while.
EPL didn't feel anything jare. Even Man U went ahead and won more leagues after Ronaldo left. It was Alex Fergusson's exit that killed Man U.

KingLennon:
Messi was in the La liga before Ronaldo. It was when Ronaldo came that the league had more spice more competition. Ronaldo made the league get more views. Ronaldo is a brand bro..

Messi was in La Liga before Ronaldo came. How many Ballon D'ors had Messi won by then? How many trophies had he won for Barca by then? It was even while Ronaldo was in Madrid that Messi achieved most of his highest career feat as a footballer. The presence of both of them and the competition between them made La Liga interesting. They both achieved most of their success within that same period. If Messi had left, it would have been as bad, even worse for La Liga.
If you say it was Ronaldo's moving into Madrid that ignited La Liga, how come EPL didn't crash when he left?

KingLennon:
Check the Stats they don't lie. Ronaldo made La Liga what it is today. Messi is still in La Liga but when Ronaldo left they felt the impact. El clasico is not going to get massive views anymore without Ronaldo. The league has gotten Boring without Ronaldo. It has no taste anymore. 450goals in 438 games. Respect the Legend for once

So you think if Messi left and Ronaldo stayed, all these wouldn't have happened? My dear, it would have been worse if it was Messi that left. There is simply no La Liga without Messi.

PDP is irredeemable. It's very sad.
I think Igbos in PDP should pull out of that party and maybe join APGA. Let PDP die a natural death. The truth remains that even if PDP comes back to power again, Igbos will still be ignored ultimately. Northerners will come back and start dictating what happens in the party. Imagine PDP saying they will give VP ticket to South West cos Igbos will always vote for them. What effrontery?!!! South West has had presidency for 8 years under PDP and VP under APC for 4 years, yet the stupid, dying PDP wants to give them VP ticket for another 8 years. That's idiocy of the highest order.
PDP should just die.
APC will still scatter ultimately, after Buhari is gone. Maybe newer and more decent parties will be born then.
