TribalEAST: igbo musicians still sing a lot in yoruba language neglecting theirs e.g don jazzy, dr sid, d prince, chidinma etc.

Yoruba is very easy to understand such dat if parents dont speak it to their children, the streets will in terms of music and movies. Igbos hardly have igbo movies.

Yoruba language has even mixed with english and pidgin english in nigeria. Words like jo (joor), jare, oya, lepa, o(i give am o!), soji, gbajue, nogere, komole, suwegbe etc are constantly used by all tribes.

Chartey: True! But I'm more concerned about either the hypocrisy or clueless-ness of these people. They complain they want to promote the Igbo language through this university but the very name of this university is European. Can you imagine this in Yorubaland. If it's in Yorubaland, the school will have a proper Yoruba name and the school will gain popularity in no time. All in all, i think making learning of Igbo compulsory at pre-degree and 100 levels isn't a bad idea.

Chartey: Everything you've said is just the other way round. In fact, some few years back Igbo musicians had to incorporate yoruba into their music to sell. People like Ruggedman, African China and Dj Zeez couldn't even identify with their Igbo heritage boldly.

To the topic, these people should have started with giving the school a very fine Igbo name. I have a feeling they think the school won't be attractive to even Igbo people when it has an Igbo name.

Orlando Owoh: You may kill yourself.

eggheaders: The same way asiere and his propaganda machine radio Biafra were saying you guys are winning the way, when the reverse is the case. Tell your alaigbo development story to the dogs not to we that have seen the hellhole.

agbameta: Thanks for letting us know you have nothing in iboland to show us even though you people and your isi ewu governors are all Christians... talk about hateful and bitter fake no christmas lights and decoration Christians...lmao

01mcfadden: Ada Ada is irrelevant?
you sure need lobotomy.
Are you telling me skelewu is more relevant than Ada ada?

Keneking: Anyway Sha, Igbos are indeed doing well.

Orlando Owoh: Why do you deceive yourself by saying the work of Wole Soyinka is not known worldwide? His poetry, drama and prose were considered when he was announced as the winner of the Nobel Laureate Prize in Literature. It was even announced that his "Interpreters" could not be interpreted by six intellectuals. This is a Yoruba man that is commissioned by the Queen of England to write play(s) in her native English dialect.

dayokanu: The only Nobel from Nigeria says Hello

eggheaders: After taking the Igbo all to the dissection room and playing with their cadavers.

agbameta: But you are yet to show us anything from any of your villages where you and all your governors are Christians. Do you not believe in Christmas lights and celebration?

superstar1: Which ojukwu released Awo?

Another of their many lies.

The eye old man sucks. They lobbied IBB to cancel the election and OBj, the albatross of the y1bosruled them for 8years.that is Yoruba sense.

He thought we will allow north to just annul our election. They can ever try it with us again.

It is by far easier for an Ashanti man to become the President of Nigeria, than for a y1bo man to smell the seat.

odua boy: You are a bigot....Skelewu is undeniably the biggest song of 2013.....

atlwireles: Who was responsible for those loses?? Soludo or Sanusi? As far i'm concern, the person that screamed fire in the market is responsible. Soludo did not bury the confidence of the Nigerian stock market and our financial sector. Sanusi was the one that called everybody a thief, only to leave the industry in worst shape than he met it. No amount of fake awards and noise will change this fact.

agbameta: Lagos state, olodo villager.

omusiliyu: Proudly team ada ada. Have you seen my beautiful baby have you seen my tomato baby oooo, baby suffering dey cool temper, ada. Baby Nah sugar sugar oooo. Everybody dey wait...

odua boy: I agree completely with this list but Ada ada is not the biggest song of 2013 and shouldn't be the no 1 song on the list.That position rightfully belongs to davido "skelewu"

I didnt compile the list,the source is there for all to see so people should stop blaming me for the exclusion of skelewu.

agbameta: There is Christmas tree in Yorubaland where the governor is a Muslim as depicted in this thread. The question is, where is the Christmas decoration in your christian villages..?

dayokanu: Yes Soyinka bribed the Nobel committee to award him, The govt of IBB sent oil blocks to the Nobel committee

And a Yoruba man was the one who gave Soyinka the award
