I will use 2 case study, one in south africa and the other lagos.

Most people claim the igbos love to dominate, it might be true, maybe that is why they have an advantage over some Nigerians home and abroad.

Here lies the genius of the igbos.

The igbo system is built in a way where people are divided into smaller groups, each groups have their own leaders, laws and systems creating a kind of group communalism. With this group, problems and conflicts are solved and solutions are given.

Now, let's see how they have use this system to create something genius, which for instance the yorubas lack.

Take example hillbrow residential area in South Africa, the igbos came to the residential area because it is cheap, they created a union for each buildings in the area where Nigerians lives, each building union has a president, secretary and treasury and have its own rules of how Nigerians in the building are supposed to behave. fighting and stealing can attract a fine, automatically since the igbos are the majority and the leaders of the union, any other Nigerian group not igbo must obey the rules if they want to live in that building.

Another example, is computer village in lagos, every one knows that the igbos deal in computer equipments. As it is their practice anywhere they go, they created a union in the computer village with a president, secretary and treasury, the reason is to organize the people selling into one voice, this union has its own rules and constitution, there is a rule on the price of certain goods. Now if a non igbo computer equipment seller gets a shop in computer village, he must obey the rules or he can be kicked out, some see it as domination but to the group, it is for the survival of their business and of group communalism of which the igbos are expert in creating.

With this type of organization, the igbo man has been able to have an advantage over groups that practice individualism.

No be only see you see trouble, champion the teaching of every subject in Nigeria or Africa with local dialects and I will start taking people like you serious, you use the white man's technology, you wear his clothes, drive his cars and learn his technology, you learn in his language and we are even corresponding right here on nairaland in his language.
I can speak my language very well without adding English to it till I finish any conversation .
Anything that is worth doing is worth doing well, if you deem it fit to write and study in English language, why don't you do it very well

Dozis:
Mental slavery my foot, the last time I checked no University curriculum in Nigeria is written in in local dialect and one of the major requirements to study in any Nigerian University is credit in O level English language.
Moreover, he should have written what he wrote in pidgin instead of murdering English language.
Stop defending nonsense all in the name of Africanism

Dozis:
How did you manage to get a good grade with this kind of grammar??

NAIJAilliterate:
In this context you have to look at Nigerians and their behaviour.a Nigerian will travel to a developed country and vote for an idiot from Nigeria which could do nothing for him in that country illiterate everywhere

• Keep a body guard in the room to watch and keep you safe as you work. Not Spy police ooo. Preferably retired SARS operative.

Just because of that little clash at his house in Ibadan he wants to abandon the agitation for self determination?


This is how awolowo visited Enugu in 1967 and convinced ojukwu to declare Biafra that he will use that opportunity to pull South West out of Nigeria too, the next thing he went and accepted the post of finance minister and became Gowons right hand man, the afonja spirit is in every yoruba man
