I'm laughing at Ochi_Agha and his wild delusion of dragging Igbo into a Yoruba confederation.
Sometimes I wonder where my brothers leave their brains. 

If Nigeria divides, no sane southern tribe will form a nation with Yoruba. They are better on their own.

As for Become-goat and his lunacy about Igbo poverty, he should dream on.
I know that no single tribe is richer than Igbo in Nigeria (and possibly Africa).  And it has nothing to do with Nigeria's conducive environment. It has everything to do with Igbo grit and resilience.  We are like Jews. You may hate us, but that doesn't stop us. When we go on holidays, you must go too. 

As for me, I am more interested in designing a country where things work, where a secondary school child can have an opportunity to design technological things. A country that exports technology not one that simply consumes.

Without serious structural changes, Nigeria CAN NEVER be such country.

What is stopping Alaigbo from doing that now?

Beaf:
Do you have a clue where I am? Dumb arse.

Somewhere there is snow?

Beaf:
Good riddance to all cowards.
The rest of us will struggle on, either to make the country a better place or split it ammicably.

Goodluck with that!

May be you should start by going back to Nigeria

Only then will anyone take you seriously!

i AM HAPPY TO WELCOME YOU TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY

With your US pali, the opportunities are endless. You are now forever freed from the shackles and ghost of Nigeria's past, including the unfortunate situation we found ourselves some 40 years ago.


Once again, on behalf of President Obama, the US congress, and Oodua in Diaspora, I welcome you.

Why dont you mind your business
Let Nigerians talk about Nigeria


Go elsewhere and mingle with your fellow Jamaicans
Are you ashamed of your heritage?

You got Usain Bolt, go talk about him with your fellow lost soul!

[quote author=Ochi_Agha link=topic=574674.msg7425561#msg7425561 date=1293600748]I am perfectly fine with Igbo culture. We had a true democracy, in which the Igbo figured out a thousand years ago that we have no need for chiefs of kings. The fact that we were practicing democracy before the Athenians were practicing democracy is an example of our ingenuity. In addition, our belief that every man and woman are kings and queens in their own right shows how egalitarian the Igbo people

Did Oyo have a written language? I don't think so, not that it matters. Oyo was still great. We Igbos had a written language through Nsibidi. Not that many African ethnic groups besides the Ethiopians had their own indigenous written languages.

I respect the Oyo Empire, but I will not say it is superior to any other African civilization. Let us not forget the Nri Kingdom of Igboland was built on peace, not warfare.[/quote]You have a good sense of humor!Nsibidi's exact origins are unknown but it is traditionally said to have come from the Uguakima, Ebe or Uyanga sub-group of the Igbo people of which legend says that they were taught the script by Baboons

Ola edo:
So what you are saying is that the yorubas were civilized before the portuguese showed up?

Yes!

What kind of crackpot theory is that? More tribal chest beating. 

Oyo is quite a young for a civilization, ompared to the civilizations found in Messopotomia such as Sumeria which is the oldest civilization in the world. Let us not forget Babylonia, Hittites, Assyria, Persia, the Indus Valley civilizations, Chinese civilization etc. Or how about some ancient African civilizations like Axum, Nubia and Kemet?[/quote]Speak for yourself
If you have nothing to say about your rag-tag, follow follow ethnic group, keep quiet and let the persians, the Nubians etc speak for themselves. Abi Alaigbo extend reach those area?

[size=28pt]CIVILISATION STARTED FROM YORUBA KINGDOM[/size]




According to historical studies, the Oyo palace is estimated to be sitting on about 640 acres. We still have excavations of the old Oyo Empire, and centuries after, some of the walls of the old Oyo Empire, are still standing in its original form. That is a great testimony of the architectural ingenuity of the Yoruba race.

The old Yoruba Empire distinguished itself in the world; with three very distinctive and unique models. First, it evolved a wonderfully developed constitution, though unwritten. The average Yoruba man is governed by strong convention. Secondly, the Yorubas evolved a military system that allows them to develop weaponry. The Yorubas are the first to smith iron and thus, they built foundries from where they also produced agricultural implements to boost food production. Thirdly, the Yoruba race evolved a very practical method of administration, by adopting the cabinet system of governance. If you are a good student of the evolution of British Constitution, you'd know that the cabinet system came about in Britain only as a matter of temporal expedience; it was not by design. So, as far back as the 16th Century, the old Oyo Empire developed the cabinet system of government. And from the Prime Minister, to the Alaafin, and the various divisional heads, all tiers have their roles and responsibilities clearly spelt out and adhered to with separation of powers, and inputs for checks and balances.

One can therefore say that civilisation started from the Yoruba race! The Yorubas established a contact with the Portuguese as far back as the 17th century and the Alaafin had maintained an ambassador with the Court of Portugal, ever since.

[quote author=Ochi_Agha link=topic=574674.msg7425394#msg7425394 date=1293595697]Dez, my proud Biafran brother. So you have no problem with a Confederation? I think Odua has a lot to offer and so does Biafra. Africa needs to be interconnected. I have yet to see Igbos killing Yorubas just because they are Yoruba and vice versa.[/quote]Who wants to be in the  same geographical location with you?

UP YORUBALAND!  UP YORUBAGIRLS!  FOREVER YORUBA!

We lead, others follow

We produced the first lawyer in West Africa. We the best. The most educated, the smartest, the most handsome, the best in everything. Thanks God. I am not Ibo.

And, LAGOS STATE NA we own, We are the BESTEST!

udezue:
Jagueta, look u mindless rambling drunken moro.n I simply laughed my butt off @ how Beaf was serving u stinking backside but I see u want me to serve u more. Your parents are pathetically imbecilic for not offering u for adoption or better aborting u coz u aint doing them any justice comin here yarnin dust about Nigerian politics when u can't even locate your damn native village. I beg go and find urself then come back coz u aint shyt.

You dont have to get into the fight
Drop it already

Lets get back to the main topic, shall we? Or do you fools want me to remind you about Yoruba supremacy?

For starters, we brought civilization to West Africa: First TV station in WA was in Ibadan, coutesy of the great Pa Awo.
Make I continue? WHere is my friend. . . Omongbati?

Beaf:
Yes you do sound very lost and cultureless. A roaming spirit with no identity.
If you know how much I pity you, you burst into tears. Forget about Nigeria and recall how in your last post your nirvana is to suck white d.i.c.k. I saw that and said a prayer for you. To have no identity is a wretched place to be, but to be a fool is much worse.

Dude, pick your brain off the floor and use it. You claim that your family doesn't give a damn about Nigeria? Here we are crying tears of blood that the fools don't.
Who cares!

In the meantime, you are ecstatic that you see whites everyday?
Damn! It takes a special breed of psychologically damaged fool to think that way.

Drop it already!
No be only you sabi type

;DIleke has 6 children oooooooooooooooooooooooooo


no kill me wig laughter oooo

Pifa:
Why don't you guys leave this thread to those who respect this man and wish him well? I don't have the disposition to engage in silly banter with you, so I will only respond to those who are interested in substantive exchange. I wouldn't like to see this thread degenerate into another tribal sin assembly. You've made your point: you don't think much of Mr. Ojukwu nor do you subscribe to naming a street after him in any other part of Nigeria other than the east.

Those of us who think highly of the man should not be disturbed when we come to this thread to learn about the man's health or to wish him well.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: there is no one in Nigerian history who has acted on his principled belief to the extent that Mr. Ojukwu did. If Ojukwu had a contemporary in the west at the time of the civil war, Nigeria would certainly wear a different motif than it does today

What about BokoHAram and Mend?

Why are you guys so obsessed with Lagos?


You dont see yorubas crying over anything in the East; we do not even care

Nchara:
Awolowo has a raod/street named after him in Umuahia, Abia state, and that is one of the biggest roads there

Awolowo is a Nigerian

Ojuwku is a Biafran/Ivorian

Geddit?

It will never happen

Let him have streets named after him in Aba

Not in Lagos, Not anywhere in the SW

He is a pedophile and an ingrate.

We might as well name streets after MEND and BOKOHARAM since they are all fighting for what the believe in.  .   .   funny people!

Kobojunkie:
NO Mind Nigerians ooo . . . Till this day, I have never met anyone who was not happy ooo!!! I was on campus . . . all those thugs there united and danced around campus ooo. lol

Thank you!!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewo!

enough respect for Mrs. Kobojunkie
BTW, which campus?

SORRY

johndoe200:
I don't understand the fuss, the northern presidential candidate Alassane Ouattara, represens the predominantly Muslim north, often poor immigrant workers from Mali and Burkina Faso working on coffee and cocoa plantations.

Even in Nigeria, these people would not be classified as Nigerian. Ouattara's parents are not from Ivory Coast, [b]are you saying that the Nigerian president can also be a foreigner?[/b]Why are we supporting things in other countries that we would never accept at home?

What about Abacha?
Was Abacha a Nigerian?

Good riddance

Jonathan doesnt want a SNC because he is worried about the future of his people


Very unfortunate situation we found ourselves in Nigeria!

Although, I may be younger than you, I am light years ahead of you, intellectually.

Way smarter than the smartest person in your village.

You cant even read; yet, you want me to bow down to you

What an e-diot

I repeat, you are reetarded! Everything you say points to the fact you are a reetard!

I know your are hurting badly
Times have changed. These are different from the days when you roam NL unchallenged, as though you were the smartest dude around. Hey there is a new sheriff in town, actually new Sheriffs, counting Blazay.

Ode!

Faeb:
Tell am jare!
What we need is a system that is representative of the citizen, protects them, ensures their fundamental rights and rewards their creativity and labour. Nigeria fails every single one of the above; we need to either dismantle and rebuild our federalism or let each sub nation do the walkies.

A good starting point would be a debate that leads to a contract that concretises the definition of "Nigerian", state-citizen responsibilities and marshals a Nigerian ideology. Without this, we will continue to bumble along with drunken steps that lead only to backwardness, a meaningless geographic entity with an anarchic population; staggering from failure to greater failure.

I agree we all of the above; we need to phuccking walk our different ways. the problem is that your people will suffer the most!

Sagamite:
Look at this reetard!

Is that the only word in your vocabulary?

You are such a waste to your family, to your street, to Sagamu, to Nigeria,and, as a matter of fact, you wasted God's time.

[quote author=Ochi_Agha link=topic=574674.msg7421946#msg7421946 date=1293546221]If you call those small states "empires," I dey laugh o. They were only a few empires in Africa due to their sheer size. If you bring up Oyo, it was not even big. Compared to the Ghana Empire, Songhay Empire or Mali Empire. Even the Sokoto Caliphate was much larger and stronger.

We Igbos had democracies, because we did not see the need for dominating others. Our people were very peaceful in those times. And by all accounts the foreigners thought we were the most superior people due to our intellect. [/quote]Well, i thought the Whiteman thought Yorubas were smarter
