bbbabes: Imagine being interviewed by a top organization in the morning and they decided to make a background check on your social media timeline after giving them the consent to do so, and they saw this.
This actually happened and I think it is just the time for everyone, especcially matured people to start censoring what they have posted on their social media pages. It is no surprise that most companies now deem it fit to check your timeline. Since what you post is most of the times a portrayal of your personality.
Martins98: The photograph of ageing and sick Chief Francis Arthur Nzeribe, with medics around him has gone viral in the social media.
Nzeribe who is now 78, had vanished from the limelight since he was defeated in the 2006 primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party to elect a senatorial candidate for his Orlu Imo state constituency. He has not been a factor in the Nigerian politics for close to a decade.
He once ran for office as president and was elected a senator in the short-lived Babangida military-Civilian rule experiment and in 1999 and 2003.
Ask4Info: Watch as they will all troop out like bees to attack my next statement and call me a hater.
It is ONLY IN NIGERIA a man will wake up overnight and term himself a multimillionaire or billionaire without people bothering to enquire concerning his sudden wealth.
Crime will forever be on the increase in Nigeria and by Nigeria globally because rather than building our children on morals, dignity and hardwork, we emphasize only on money! money!! money!!!
Pardom me to say Most Nigerians irrespective of their wealth are outrightly backwards. What is an American flag doing in front of that house? Where is the Nigerian flag? Or is that the American Consulate Office in Biafra Republic?
IgedeBushBoy: To my utmost dismay, I found, recently that the Igede ethnic group of southern Benue was classified under the Idoma tribe on Benue map. More shocking, however, is the fact that with so much curiosity, checking for the list of Nigerian ethnic groups, Igede was also found to be missing!
Well, I'm sure Igede is not the only tribe suffering from that. At this Age, one is forced to wonder why in God's name a country as vibrant as Nigeria will still have tribes unaccounted for, shame! To make matters worse, in a State as vibrant as Benue (the last time I checked, Benue is among the top five most populous States in Nigeria, with the past Senate president hailing from there) . Igede is the 3rd largest ethnic group in Benue (after Tiv and Idoma!). The (ghost) Ibo-speaking part of the State is put into consideration, but no, not a far more populous one, SMH.
Well, fellow Nairalanders, I just pointed that out so you can understand your country, and criticize well. For those in the helms responsible for collating such data, IBB has woken your lazy ass to your job; arise and do the needful instead of relaxing in the comfort of your office, reading one Old Map and giving stupid reports from your comfort zone. Lastly, google should sack their entire information collation team.

HDVideos: A twitter user by the username @bahaushee claims Igbos are the reasons for the attacks on Nigerian's outside and this is thereby causing an embarrasment to the nation. The Katsina state indigene and graduate from Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto made this know on his twitter account. Most people have the opinion individuals from the Core North (North East and North West) think this way about people in the south while ignoring what Boko Haram , Fulani Herdsmen and Islamic Terrorist mainly resident in the core north have done to the reputation of this country abroad.
laudate: J.O.F. Ideal Family Farms Limited, is a family-owned enterprise based in Owo, Ondo State. It is reported to be the biggest private employer in the State. The firm is a sole proprietorship that has now become a distinct household name, in the manufacture of organic soya oil, cashew processing, citrus farming, produce merchandizing, poultry and livestock feeds, table water production, construction, commodities brokerage and haulage interests. It was established by the late Reverend Canon Johnson Olajide Fagboyegun and the late Mrs. Fagboyegun. The company started life from humble beginnings, as a family business, named J.O. Fagboyegun and Sons, until it metamorphosed into J.O.F. Ideal Family Farms Limited, which is now a leading employee of labour in Nigeria.
Apart from dominating the manufacturing sector through their subsidiary JOF Vegetable Oil Company in Owo and allied produce companies in Akure and Lagos, the family also has an array of petrol stations and several hectares of lands having crops of industrial value. In the assigned role of balancing the business books, the late Mrs. Florence Olawunmi Fagboyegun, was able to put many university and polytechnic- trained accountant to shame.
She was ever meticulous and careful to find where leaks could occur, and prevent wastages. The kind of love and close bond she enjoyed with her husband, purposely showed in this attribute. Her husband, Canon Fagboyegun, was an unequalled resource manager. Late Mrs. Florence Olawunmi Fagboyegun was the matriarch of 30 biological offspring, including grand and great grandchildren. She took care of the biological children, and several other adopted family members, by paying attention to every developmental issue in the lives of all the children she adopted. She died in the early hours of Friday May 17, 2013. She was 83 years old.
When her son Tunji Fagboyegun took over the running of the farm, he focused on Agricultural Commodity Export and also teamed up with others to establish an organic fertilizer plant. His strategy allowed the firm to make substantial inroads into the US and UK market, by consistently providing high quality products to end users in those countries. The proceeds from the export sales of the Brazilian jumbo cashew nuts and other products, increased the revenue and profit base of the firm, and today, the company is a success story in the agricultural & agro-processing industry. http://www.sharpedgenews.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=823:memories-as-florence-the-fagboyegun-martriach-departs&Itemid=501
Gracebae: Innocent question please to my so called south south people.
what is Niger delta, what commonalities does an urhobo, a benin or an itshekiri have with an ibibio, ikwerre, efik or even ogoni over an igbo man, who is not only a direct neighbour but shares cultural similarities... For the records, Abiriba people in Abia state today are a mixture of Ibibio and igbos.Also to note Aro-Ndizuogu in Imo state, Aro-Chukwu in Abia state, Aro-Ikot ekpene in Akwa ibom and Aro-Echie in river state are of the same descendant of the biblical Aroli(younger brother to Eri in Anambra state) who are all the children of Gad who is also the first son of Jacob, that is why you see Arochukwu people and ikot ekpene people wear the same dress and their men tie wrapper. igbos and efiks shared the Nsibiri writings, the ekpo festival in some parts of igbo land originated from the efiks, the igbos,ijaws and ibibios all worship Amadioha and were always going for pilgrimage in Arochuwku all before the white man came and all through our history, there has never been a case of enslavement or fighting rather we traded with our neighbors, lived peacefully and intermarried ourselves. I want someone to tell me something similar that had happened like that in the so called identity crisis suffering Niger delta....An ibibio man jumped over the whole of igboland in southeast all the way down to benin, itshekiri,urhrobo and became Niger delta and one people..yeye dey smell.... I need answers

Twaci: There's a current news going around Twitter about some friends who beat up a friend of theirs cause of a stolen iphone which later resulted to the victim attempting suicide.
The person who reported the issue to @AHoeStory on Twitter is a Babcock student who preferred to stay anonymous, but had a lot to say about the issue.
These are the "evil girls" handles; @_munachii @jolixjola @fifunmi_ And one Rose Mary Awoh
While the victim is; rubianna_
Here are shots of the report made by the anonymous reporter.
^^^^^ Babcock must never allow such a thing to happen again as a private faith-based school. There are appropriate sanctions for any infractions and not jungle justice which can lead to the death of an alleged thief!

She emerged out of a total of 216 entries submitted when the Search began in October 2015. She has been involved in Agricultural technology called hydroponic used in the production of fresh vegetables. Other finalists are into affordable housing; manufacturing of agro-allied food processing machines; production of animal feeds and student internship placement.
AAinEqGuinea: I'll have to check out the official AfricanDNA test one day.
I'm going to visit Nigeria one day but moreso for business and some sightseeing.
Micro-countries are what keeps Africa moving. Who'd ever think tiny Eq Guinea could manifest with no bloodshed? You don't need the UN for that,looke how useless they were in Darfur, Sudan, etc.
^^^^^^^^ @AAinEqGuinea
Just a quick one...
I wrote that Whoopi Goldberg's DNA test indicates that her direct ancestry is Equatorial Guinea. The correct country is Guinea-Bissau which I originally intended to type. Guinea-Bissau shares direct boundaries with another West African country called Guinea-Conakry! Quincy Jones has a paternal lineage with the Tikar ethnic group in Western Cameroon.
When you do intend to visit Nigeria, please do your due diligence, always keep in touch with the American Embassy/American Consulate in Lagos, have a network of friends from Nigeria and in the U.S. who can put you through your movements in Nigeria and the TRAVEL Section of Nairaland and everything will be fine.
There are dubious people in a lot of countries of the world who always look for loopholes to take advantage of people with foreign accents, so you have to move or walk with some swag so that will show them you know what you are doing and where you are going!
I would suggest you visit Obudu Mountain Resort in Cross River State by air and a quick visit to Uyo in Akwa Ibom State which is next door.
Inagbe Grand Resort in Lagos State is also a great place to visit among other locations like Badagry's slave trade era relics.
The hilly city of Jos and the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja also have fantastic natural and geological views.
You can also contact credible tour guides who will make your visit memorable and have your 3rd-party mobile tracking apps on your mobile devices just in case anything happens in a worse case scenario. I hope this helps.

360frolic: According to Segun Adewumi, President of the Nigeria Cassava Growers Association, the recent reduction in cassava supply and increased cost of cassava products is due to herdsmen attacks on farms.
“It has been a very difficult time for cassava farmers in Nigeria because of the incessant attacks by herdsmen, who make it difficult for them to go to their farms.
“Farmers are afraid to go and cultivate; some farmers have lost their lives for venturing into the farms.
He said “garri”, flour, “fufu”, starch and semolina had become more costly, because these attacks caused cassava farmers to stop farming in some parts of the country.
Also, insurance firms did not compensate the affected farmers because policies taken by the farmers did not cover malicious damage to farms, he said.
A small paint bucket measure of cassava flakes, otherwise known as ‘Garri’, costs between N900 and N1,100, depending on the location in Lagos metropolis.
A 60kg bag of the commodity costs between N11,000 and N12, 500 at the Mushin Oloosa Market, depending on the quality.

Before I Proceed I'll like to explain a few things for those that dont know much about farmlands .
All lands we have for sale are not under any acquisition of any kind but the Government can acquire any land at any time, thanks to the land use Act. Most lands we have dont belong to one person, some belongs to multiple persons / families. The difficulty of making different persons / families accept a price for their land is extremely difficult at times. Although some lands belongs to individuals like us. After purchasing a land there are some mandatory fees that has to be paid like agency fees. We can help you with the following using the professionals and experts in their respective fields to assist us 1. Deed of Sale / Agreement 2. Survey Plan 3. Registered Survey 4.

Obviously, the title of this song, “Wavy Level” is a total reflection of the height Baba Milli has attained in the music industry.
As far as local audience is concerned, Olamide doesn’t really need to worry about acceptance when releasing any song. Whether good or bad, anything baddo spits will make wave East, West, North and South. That’s exactly what it means to be on a wavy level!!
Now, without being blown away by that Olamide Wave, here is my own verdict on the song:-
Fast rising beat maker, Adey deserves a big applause for doing a good job on the beat. Even Young John wouldn’t have done any better. The beat comes a strong engaging rhythm that grabs my attention from the very first minute of song to the last. Truth be told, Adey played his role well on the song.
Meanwhile, Baddo himself jumped on that solid beat with what I will describe as matured lyrics but not good enough for his standard. As a big fan of Olamide, I don’t always expect anything less than a street banger, but lyrically, this song is way too far from being my room banger talkless of being a street anthem.
With all due respect for the wavy Olamide Baddo, I will rate this song
Overall, I rate the song 4/10 ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆
Over to you guys,
Would you say “Olamide’s New Song “Wavy Level” is Another Street Anthem or An Unexpected Thrash From Baddo?”
AAinEqGuinea: I once took a DNA test from this incredulous company named "ConnectMyDNA", admittedly it was a cheap DNA test compared to most pricey ancestral tests, but at least it gave rise to my NL moniker. It was fun and affirmed what I already knew.
This test claims to compare your DNA with modern populations so it's not a ancestral test, if one is even possible.
They first rank your DNA by continents and my strongest match was Africa. If interested you can further see your strongest matches within each continent and my strongest matches within Africa are Eq Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Namibia, Mozambique, South Africa and others, my weakest DNA link was Nigeria We cant possibly run from this science. I can post pics of the results if you'd like. What's interesting is that my second continental match was South America, with the strongest match within South America being Bahamas, a popular slave destination. So there probably was a slave ship once titled Jesus who carried us away to His promise land.
Biafra: Why cant Africans form their own boundaries without bloodshed or international polity like many other countries, when these are your brothers we're talking about? Its not like they are going anywhere, Biafra will remain next door.
Nigeria chokes the life and potential out of people who choose to remain. You know that this is true. Somehow theres this belief among AAs and Africans alike that there's dignity in the end of endless suffrage. For Nigeria, it's suffrage accompanied by quit notices and threats for anyone who dares leave to start over on lands belonging to them. Nothing against the Nigerian people, but there is so much more wrong with Nigeria. Even Buhari doesnt want to remain in Nigeria. Last year Aisha was in America at the same time Nigeria's soccer team was in America practicing in Atlanta for Rio. She flew back home and left the Nigerian soccer team stranded during the 2016 Olympic games in Rio. The whole world saw this. That's when I knew I had enough of Buhari and Nigeria's polity.
There's more to their incurable mayhem and their madness, but if not for Nnamdi the Nigerian govt wouldnt bother with this new idea of restructuring. They should be praising Nnamdi for helping apply efforts to finding looted funds and then reflecting on other forms of social chaos that they have fueled all while they stuff their greedy pockets and taking pointless foreign trips every week... all in the name of Africa and everything pure.
^^^^^^^^^^ @AAinEqGuinea
I appreciate your response.
First off, I think the DNA test you took is a first step towards that renewed sense of self-awareness among Diaspora's. In the late 2000s, I read about Whoopy Goldberg having her direct maternal ancestry Guinea-Bissau as well and the iconic Quincy Jones had a direct paternal ancestry leading to the Tikar ethnic group in Bamenda or West Cameroon (Anglophone Cameroon).
You may wish to retake the DNA tests at DNAland and/or AfricanAncestry.com which are very perfect. A U.S.-based Nigerian from Delta State who goes by the name of "waphyguy" on YouTube did his DNA test from DNAland and it showed his ancestry to be of Yoruba[Itsekiri mother] and Esan[Edoid, with an Urhobo father]. This test was indeed ACCURATE!
To find his 2 YouTube videos online to gain deeper insights into what I mean, you may wish to Google Waphyguy or use the YouTube search box and the 2 DNA video results will instantly pop up. I intend taking mine too because I have always been interested in genealogy and world history.
I will try to post the YouTube videos here later or you can kindly do that for us.
I'm aware of Oyotunji, a Diasporian Yoruba community in South Carolina were AAs speak Yoruba and have a king or Oba who visited Nigeria in 2017 to meet with other Royal Fathers like the Ooni of Ife. So there are AAs, Cubans, Brazilians, etc, who are connecting with Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia just like the iconic Alex Haley of the Junta Kinte and the "Roots" fame.
The objection of a lot of right thinking people to NNAMDI is that he in his delusion included several surrounding states and non-Ibo Nigerian ethnicities in the so-called map of the enclave of Biafra WITHOUT consultations and permission and this is what has led to communiques being issued by up to 8 ethnic groups expressing anger and disgust by the inclusion of their territories in the map without any referendum. This was the same mistake the bearded leader of the secessionist group did in the late 1960s that led to needless deaths of over 1million people! He has also preached hate messages and then you wonder how TACTLESS a person can be in a multicultural country like Nigeria.
I believe that if a defined Federalism that suits Nigeria cannot be attained, then that country is better off splitting after a United Nations organised referendum into about 11 new countries who can continue to do business with one another in peace!
TerraCotta: This poster often makes these types of inane comments. He is not alone in being incurably addicted to ethnic stereotyping so there's not much point in engaging with him (although I'm grateful to others like Radoillo and Scholes who do God's work by replying!) I do have to correct some simplistic comments that I often see repeated by ignorant posters on Nairaland. Anyone who feels offended because they fit the bill of 'ignorance' may wish to look up the meaning of the word.
Yoruba entrepreneurs have lived and continue to live all over Nigeria and West Africa, in numbers rivaling if not outnumbering any other migrant groups. I'm not interested in score-settling with shallow-minded tribal chestbeaters but the facts are the facts and we have both anecdotal and empirical evidence to support this view. You will find Yoruba traders in every rural corner of northern and central Nigeria, and in a chain of communities stretching throughout West Africa up to the Ivory Coast. Entrepreneurial travel is a foundational aspect of Yoruba culture, as I've written here before. It's enshrined in the traditional religion through "Aje shaluga" and Olokun, and is well-presented in hundreds of proverbs, and in ancient and contemporary patterns of commerce. The market is still the locus of society in most rural settings, and cities built along traditional plans like Ibadan still demonstrate the central role of the market in Yoruba life. A brilliant, under-appreciated book on this theme was published in the early 1980s and is called "The Entrepreneur As Culture-Hero"--the author is Professor Bernard Belasco, formerly of the City University of New York. More recent books by Toyin Falola and Jane Guyer go further into Yoruba economic history and anthropology from the 19th century to the present.
Even further back in time, the economic development of Ile-Ife was most likely due to its trade in the luxury goods of the day (9th-14th century West Africa), which included the beaded jewelry, ivory and bronze/brass/copper-alloy artwork produced there: http://www.icom-cc.org/54/document/wg-glass-and-ceramics-interim-meeting-corning-2010--preprint-ige/?action=Site_Downloads_Downloadfile&id=1278 The city was wealthy enough to attract the attention of Muslim scholars like Ibn-Battuta, who is believed to have written about 14th-century Ife under the name "Yufi"--similar to the indigenous Ife-Ijesa and Okun-Ondo dialect version of the town name, "Ufe". There is some controversy about this record but it appears to be correct in calling Ife "one of the largest towns of the negroes, whose ruler is one of the most considerable of the negro rulers." As suggested by this record, Yoruba cultures have long placed an importance on living in primarily urban arrangements; they are considered one (if not the most) urbanized societies in Africa prior to colonization. Urbanization requires societies open to immigration, entrepreneurship, religious, linguistic and cultural mixing. To my mind, this tradition is strongly upheld in Yoruba culture and partially explain both the size and economic vitality of many Yoruba cities like Lagos and Ibadan.
Coming back to the revolting bigotry that pushes someone to say a group of 35 million people aren't "independent-minded and enterprising enough to travel outside their region to survive". The mindset that generates this type of simple-minded comment can't be cured by posting on the Internet, unfortunately. Thankfully, it can be partially relieved through reading and travel, so more facts:
The Yoruba ethnonym "Anago" or "Nagot" is synonymous with "Nigerian" in both the Ivory Coast and Ghana, which suggests the significance of the Yoruba migrant population in both countries.
This is senseless, given the documented travel patterns above. If there were economic opportunities and societal openness rivaling Cote D'Ivoire and Ghana in the East, you would expect to see more migration there. Unlike some of the silly inferences I read on Nairaland, migrant labor does not move to new areas out of an altruistic need to "develop" a community. Migrant traders like the Yoruba in these countries, or in London, Dubai and so forth, go to these places because there are more economic opportunities than they would have at home. They are leaving to "strike it rich", not to perform philanthropy. It is a clear comment on the perceived inferior quality of Nigerian schools that students would rather attend university in Ghana and Malaysia (and of course the U.S. and U.K.) It may wound Nigerian pride to hear it, but that won't make it less true. Likewise, if Yoruba traders go to every other region and nation on Earth but avoid specific ones in large numbers, there is likely to be a straightforward explanation that doesn't require the tortured logic of the quoted statement.
Your claims are demonstrably false as shown above, since there are literally millions of Yoruba people living outside their region for three or more generations, at this point. They live in a wide variety of other communities inside and outside Nigeria. The more probable truth is that you and others who think and talk like you represent a strain of thought and lack of openness in your region that most Yoruba people would find unacceptable. Coming from cosmopolitan backgrounds where they are used to celebrating a variety of ethnic and religious backgrounds, they are unlikely to be attracted to that rudimentary approach to life and a general lack of courtesy and decorum. If there were some overriding economic reasons to live in the East, there would undoubtedly be many hardy migrants who are indifferent to these issues. For instance, there are Yoruba traders established in Hong Kong and Dubai, which are certainly more economically competitive and less culturally-familiar to them than Eastern Nigeria. The appeal is the economic opportunity that the first two choices offer and that the last appears to lack. Whether or not this lack of opportunity is true has little to do with my point that BigFrancis typifies a lack of cultural courtesy and decorum that many (if not most) Yoruba would find repellant.
Bigotry comes easily to the shallow-minded and inexperienced and it's tempting (but difficult) to ignore it if you have a nuanced and open-minded view of the world. Nairaland taught me a log time ago that engaging with dyed-in-the-wool bigots is a waste of time--they either grow out of their ignorance through their own efforts or inevitably face shame and correction from a source they admire and trust more than an anonymous internet poster. It is important to correct nonsense like the first quoted statement because impressionable readers who don't have a wider appetite for information might buy it.
^^^^^^^^^ @TerraCotta
Well said... you did maximum justice with reference to the highly misleading information the guy who is also a mod gave in this thread. @scholes0 also stood up to the false propaganda... Maybe these guys think most Nairaland users are trolls who are not educated or well-travelled.
I travelled to Cote 'd Ivoire in 1988 and was surprised to see a large number of people of Yoruba ancestry engaging in business activities, and on my return flight via the same Nigeria Airways, there were some Lebanese, and other Yoruba traders/business people on board the Airbus A-310 [one of the 4 brand new Airbus A-310s that Nigeria Airways purchased in the late 1980s].
AAinEqGuinea: But Africans born in American are still considered African?
I've heard that it has to with culture... but id argue that many people from Africa, but are now in the West Indies, to this day retained and practice more of core African traditions than many Africans. We know that there are hundreds if not thousands of African cultures, so is ones Africanness confined to continental boundaries?
I've heard that because many whites had forceful relationships with enslaved Africans that this somehow nullifies their true and pure Africanness. Although this is true, many Arab also had relations with Bantu or Darker complexion African as well. Does this make Muslim or Christian Africans less African?
Is it because African Americans can't claim a nationality/colony so one is forced to carry the identity of his enslaved world, which on its own is a loaded discussion/thread. Proudly Jamaican, Nigerian, Ghanaian, Kenyan, Biafran when it's argued that ethnicity is far more important, see Culture above.
Are white Afrikaans more African than African Americans?
What and who defines the expiration of one's Africanness?
Any feedback is valued.
^^^^^^^^^ @AAinEqGuinea
It is all about semantics. I prefer to call African-Americans or people with African ancestry in America as "African-Americans. For black immigrants in the U.S., I prefer to use terms like Jamaican/Cuban/Haitian/Barbadian-Americans, etc.
DNA tests from DNALand or AfricanAncestry show that about 1 in 4 African-American men have a direct white/European male ancestry and not Continental Africa! Many Diaspora Africans whose forebears were deported from Africa on board slave schooners are now taking patrilineal and mtDNA tests to find their roots in Africa and it is near accurate especially via DNAland and AfricanAncestry which have a large DNA pool from ethnicities in Africa.
Last but not least, there is NO legal entity or nationality called biafra. It is just a utopian or imaginary entity that was not even recognised by the United Nations in the late 60s.

The offshore oilfields off the coast of Ugborodo [otherwise called Escravos] are known as okan, meji, meta, meren oilfields and are operated by Chevron since the 1960's. This was indicated in the Atlas of Nigeria we used in schools in the late 1970s.
