So you ar talking of the e-war here on nairaland, you ar such a joke. My bro igbos hv no problem with yerubas nd it's not on record that igbos hv clashed with yerubas in the past. So let us live in peace nd harmony

Ogbuefi, remove your head from the clouds, biko nu. Do your research before you comment. Is that too hard for you?

mightyhaze:
u obviously lack comprehension skills dude or perhaps u didt read d op at all. No sensible observer will fault dose truce lines,not if uur not a natural noise maker. Yorubas hav always been d aggressors on dis forum. Igbos only beat dem bak wen it seems dia madness is gettin out of hand.do u knw dat a certain dayokanu was d father of tribalism on ds forum.describin a whole ethnic group dat almost doubles his in population as flattheads? Do u know dat dis same ape wit his pack of neanthertals wud at d slighest arguments,start postin pictures of dead n dyin biafran babies n boast of dia awolowo who masterminded d starvation of dese kids?now igbos r suposed 2 sit bak n play dumb on d face of such provocations abi? Wot hav u 2 say abt ur oba who openly threathened a peaceful group wit death if dey ventured 2 vote a candidate of dia choice? Igbos shd jst laff it off as one of dose tin abi? U bunch r d aggressors my dear. Igbos will not sit bak n watch u poke dirty little fingers in dia face. U shd naturally expect occcasional smackdowns ok.now go and proclaim dese facts u jst stumbled upon on nairaland ds evnin.

Cut the crap! You have started to recycle this your fake, deceitful propaganda on this thread again. Even me that am not Yoruba, I can see clearly that the Igbos are the aggressors. You keep regurgitating that story about an Oba threatening your people. Was the threat not issued in the presence of the Eze Ndi'Igbos in Lagos who were in attendance?? What did they do?? They clapped for the Oba like excited school kids and promised to follow his commands.

Yet you always omit this part from your stories, when you want to play the victim.

Your people are the ones that are always quick to label anyone who disagrees with them, as 'Yoruba'. Then they accuse the person of all the real and imaginary woes they can think of, before they launch their campaign of calumny and hatred. I fit borrow you my contact lens make you take check all the posts for Nairaland, o!

DeeManD:
Please ignore those hateful, jealous and filthy popinjays. Just like during the subsidy removal campaigns, they are now also playing out a script of sectional interest. The grab and keep all that's Lagos to the exclusion of others, especially IGBOS, is falling down badly, hence this engendering of e-warriors to trumpet these endless chatter. LAGOS, and anywhere in this country WILL CONTINUE TO HOME TO IGBOS REGARDLESS, UNTIL THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA CEASES TO EXIST. WE ARE ALL IN "ONE NIGERIA" as they wished and killed/died for it back then.

Erm... does that mean you do not want Biafr'a, anymore?? Let us know. Your people have been calling nigeria a 'zoo', and advocating for their own country. But you have now come here to say you want to continue living in Lagos.

Last time I checked, Lagos was still very much a part of Nigeria, that your folks keep calling a 'zoo. So does that mean Nigeria is no longer a 'zoo'? Please kindly make up your mind.

IGBOPRINCE:
guy, all ladies that got married to an igbo man, go and check if these yoruba women re still with their husband?
Marriage is easy to arrange but the everlasting practice of marriage is not easy bro.
That s where yoruba women comes to my picture, some that got married to their men do not last long, whether successful, rich or poor. They don't stay in husband house.

The igbo men that got married to them,well I am not saying that it s not possible nwanne, it s but it s hard to see an igbo man married to a yoruba girls, it s o.15% igbos that may engaged in such act.

But I am sure, there re many igbo women due to love or other reasons married a yoruba guy, which I know I can account upto 5% of our girls in the hands of ofe mmanu(ewedu yoruba) for marriages but so cannot be say to their women.

Anyway, my take

Nwennemuo

Guy did you even read the list that was included in my previous post?? All those Yoruba women are still married to those distinguished Igbo men, except in the case of Sir Francis Akanu Ibiam, whose wife died before he did! Do your research, nah! Haba!! I can still list some more inter-ethnic couples whose marriages are still going strong! if you are not used to seeing such marriages, it means you did not grow up in a cosmopolitan South-Western city, or a Northern metropolis where such relationships are common.

You need to free your mind, o! Anyway, why am I not surprised? In your usual myopic manner, you would rather believe in propaganda, instead of accepting the fact.

mightyokwy:
Bros easy ok, you have not answered my question. Just like Fulanis please can you give me a good example where igbos are physically fighting or attacking the yorubas.

Guy, go to the search field on Nairaland and just enter 'Igbo and Yoruba'. What you see will amaze you!

adeitoro:
Onye ofemmannu, married women are not included in TRADITIONAL Igbo ashebi.
Igbos are not yolobas that includes both men in ashebi

Guy, put a stop to your tales by moonlight abeg. Ashebi is NOT part of Igbo tradition. It is a modern fad which sprang up about a decade ago. They copied it from the South-West, who have a long history of wearing aso-ebi. You chaps should stop concocting fake stories, biko nu.

ALTERNATEID:
You can't have two kings in a single territory. The Eze Ndigbo of Akure is at best the leader of the Igbo community in Akure and not a king. If a real Igbo king like the Obi Onitsha is to visit the Akure palace, he will be accorded all due respect.

If the Obi of Onitsha were to visit the Deji of Akure, wouldn't he be allowed to enter the palace with his beaded crown??

breadandtea:
Igbos and Yorubas won't burn this country for us!
I'm posting this photo to correct this rumour going up and down about people in diaspora leaders can't wear their crown to visit the state king. That is the Eze Ndigbo of kano with Sanusi.

Whenever my owan people want to visit the Emir in kano, our Enogie goes with his full regalia, and nothing has happened.
Even in universities, when a tribe in the school want to visit a traditional leader, they go along with their appointed or voted king/queen.

The Enogie of your Owan people, kwa?? Is he resident in Kano and is he the Enogie of Owan people in Kano, or the Enogie of Owan people from Edo State??

IGBOPRINCE:
who does not know laudate in this kind of discussion, I ve read where you said an hausa man married a yoruba woman and a yoruba woman married an igbo man .

All this your baseless assumption about having a relative all over nigeria and seeing where an igbo man married a yoruba woman .
na wa o. Na only you dey see am for imagination. Tho I know it s 0.15% rare.

Chai!! Eewo! Guy, why does it pain you that I have relatives all across Nigeria? Is it my fault that my family is not as clannish as yours', and they are quite hospitable, approachable and welcoming to other folks irrespective of their ethnic background? I even have Camerounians in my family, sef. British, American, German and Liberian cousins are also found all through my family tree, in addition to Igbo, Igala, Fulani, Sayawa, Gwari, Itsekiri, Efik and Edo people. It has helped to cut down on hotel bills anytime I travel. There is usually one family member or the other who is eager to offer me accommodation during my trips.

Free your mind o, bros. The world does not begin and end at your doorstep, in your village. And not everyone is as parochial or as clannish as you are. Bia kete, come and see all the distinguished Igbo sons that got married to fine Yoruba women.

Chief (Dr) Emeka Anayaoku, the former Commonwealth Secretary-General and the Ichie Adazie of Obosi, married a Yoruba woman Olubunmi, a royal princess from Abeokuta and they have been together for over 45 years;

Prof Vincent Chukwuemeka Ike, the Eze Ikelionwu IX of the great Aro town Ndikelionwu in Anambra State is married to a Yoruba woman too. Her name is Adebimpe Olurinsola Abimbolu, and she is also an accomplished Professor of Library Science. They have been married for over 50 years.

Sir (Dr) Akanu Ibiam, former Governor of Eastern Region, Nigeria from December 1960 until January 1966 also had a Yoruba wife, named Lady Olayinka, from the great Sasegbon family of Lagos state. In April 1974, Dr. Ibiam lost his dear wife. She died at the age of 68. Out of respect for her, he refused to marry any other woman. She was given a state burial. Dr Akanu Ibiam the late Ezeogo and Isiala 1 of Unwana and Osuji of Uburu, was given the title of "... Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George by Her Majesty the Queen";

Dr Vincent Ifeanyi Maduka the pioneer Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority, (NTA) also married a Yoruba woman. His wife is Engr. Joanna Maduka (nee Olutunbi) from Ilesha in Osun State. she was an undergraduate of University of Ife (Ibadan campus) when they met. They got married in 1967 and are still together till date.

There are several other successful Igbo leaders who were (and still are) married to the Yoruba women, and they are among the most successful Nigerians in history.

And I assume you were living in Mars when Atiku Abubakar' was vice-president under Obasanjo and his wife, Titi Abubakar was launching her NGO. Here is a brief autobiography of the woman. Northerners have been marrying Yoruba women from time immemorial.

Hajiya (Dr.) Titilayo Amina Atiku Abubakar, the first wife of Nigeria’s former vice president and Turakin Adamawa, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar comes across as a humble, motherly figure with strength of character. The 61 year old grandmother has for a long time been speaking with a loud voice against the travails of women and children through her pet project, Women Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication Foundation (WOTCLEF) as the platform.

The University of Calabar, in recognition of, and obviously impressed with her efforts at restoring back the human dignity into the society, conferred on her the honorary Doctor of Science (Social Work). Hajiya Abubakar is a very hardworking person. Before joining her husband in the Presidency, she was a lecturer at the popular Kaduna Polytechnic where she worked for ten years. She effectively combined her teaching job with household chores and responsibilities. “I love taking care of my family”, she said.

Being born into a Christian home in Lagos to the Albert family from Ilesa, in Osun State, she did her primary and secondary education at Catholic schools, after which she was swept off her feet by the love of Atiku Abubakar, and had to get married. “It was in my husband’s house that I attended Kaduna Polytechnic”, she said.

There was nobody in Lagos that did not know that I wanted to marry this handsome Fulani man because my mother was going from house to house appealing to people, telling them to come and talk to me that I should not marry him, that if I married this man, I was going to lose my identity because he is an Hausa and not from Kano that they used to hear about. He (Atiku) is not from Kaduna but Gongola (old Gongola). She said she understood that Gongola was not even on the map of Nigeria and that I was going to get lost.

Sorry is that figure for the 2-bedroom flats , 30 million or 3 million? Kindly clarify.

The advert on your opening post says =N=1.5 million. But now you are saying =N=2 million. What is the correct price and how far is it from the Lekki-Epe Expressway??

delpee:
What more evidence does one need really of the embarrassing situation of today. How many deemed it fit to read the story? You get to hear comments like ' it's too long',
'its boring' ,'thats in the past'. Really? Even the kind of grammar I read here sometimes makes me wonder. That is after taking typo errors into consideration.
Lets do ourselves a favour by reading biographies of successful men and women. Most of them started out without any undue advantage. They're many in our society.

Meanwhile to learn and be entertained at the same time, those who care should visit the Nairaland Picture album thread. You won't regret it.

Na true you talk, jare. If it was an epistle about D'Banj's new girlfriend, or Korede Bello's new hairstyle, you will see them commenting in droves. God dey!

IGBOPRINCE:
we don't value your women, they bleach a lot and they don't stay in husband house. It s o.15% hard to see an igbo man married to a tribe that don't stay in husband house or that disrespects his husband . They like enjoyment(owambe) and don't value marriage.

Pls this is our reasons, if not I could ve married two incase one leave me one day.
But I want a wife and that s igbo , the one that will permanently be there for me, in rich and for poor , till death do us part.

Amen.

Guy, but you sabi lie o! I have seen several well-educated, high class Igbo men married to Yoruba women. I guess part of the reasons those men were so successful in their careers, were because they married Yoruba women who taught them how to build cross-cultural relationships, respect the opinions of others and conduct themselves appropriately in their daily interaction with other ethnic groups.

I know a lot of Yoruba women married to men from different tribes. It does not cost an arm and a leg to marry them, and if you show them love, affection, respect and integrity they will stay with you for life! Ask the late HID Awolowo!

400billionman:
Igbo boys to the rescue.

NNPC and FINANCE ministry.

Una wan try. ?

....after your guys had wailed over the 5% comments on the previous appointments??

theV0ice:
Personally, I believe Amina Ibrahim is more suited to that post. Kemi Adeosun should do Minister of state finance.

Nah... Kemi Adeosun should be posted to head the Ministry of Women Affairs or Ministry of Sports.

CSTR2:
I have compared both CVs and professional achievements.
Adeosun or whoever she is, is relatively a learner.

God bless you, jare. I no know say you sef see am!

Vikkie14:
You want to go for one? #JustAsking
You can go there and get the real-time info.

I don't need one and will never need one, by God's grace. In my spare time, I volunteer for an NGO that conducts medical outreaches. The problem with Nigeria is getting adequate info on where certain types of treatment can be obtained. Even a lot of doctors do not have adequate info in this area.

They send patients off to a teaching hospital for advanced treatment, only for the patient to get there and the machines are NOT working, or the specialist is unavailable. So if there is any available information on a medical centre that has conducted a successful operation, or that has functional equipment, you verify it and file it away for future reference.

Can you imagine telling a patient to leave Abuja and go all the way to Ilishan in Ogun State to first get the cost of fees for the surgery?? What if he does not have enough money to make the trip or pay for the surgical operation? There should be a phone number or something, where more details can be obtained. You never know when it would come in handy. Getting the right kind of info in Nigeria is like searching for a needle in a haystack. BU should have all the relevant info about its hospital on its website, but it does not. How sad.

OnTheMoveWA:
When an Igbo tries to translate Yoruba!
ILU = town.

ROFLMAO!!!

OnTheMoveWA:
Urban settlements are part of Yoruba culture. Same for Hausa. Igbos lived in villages and used leaves and hides to cover their unclothedness like in the Garden of Eden. Name a traditional Igbo cloth like the ofi of the Yoruba and the kente of the Ashanti. All your traditional clothes are recent creations because you didn't need clothes in those days.
Villages can be cool but there are reasons they're not capitals of anywhere.

Wait, o! What is 'ofi'? Is it like adire or ankara or is it like aso-oke? Among the Delta-Igbo, the traditional cloth is called Akwa-ocha. Don't know what the traditional cloth for the SS Igbo and SE Igbo is called, though...

tonytony208:
In Yoruba land, we believe that respect is reciprocal. If you respect us, we respect you. If you do otherwise, we will deal with you dastardly via any means possible, and we don't care if you call it pent up anger or call it frustration; na your grammatical palave be that.

We don't take shit from any king, who is overbearing. We are not like some eeeediots that will be shouting rankadede or igwe even when the king is making their lives hellish. We are too enlightened for that.

Hmmn, for anyone who went to secondary school in the South West and studied history as part of the curriculum, they would have been taught these principles. Another thing we were taught during our history lesson, was that among the Yoruba folks, even though their king's position was revered and considered sacred, there were checks and balances that prevented him from becoming a tyrannical despot.

He could be deposed if he was high-handed, evil, tyrannical or just plain greedy. He could also be deposed for consistently working against the interest of his people. The selection of a new Yoruba king or Oba in other parts of Yoruba land, is similar to this method used in selecting a new Oba for the Oyo people, also known as the Alafin.

The actual selection of a new Alafin (or king) was in the hands of the Oyo Mesi, a supreme council of state, whose seven members were collectively recognized as king-makers. They consulted the Ifa oracle as to which of the candidates was approved by the gods. The new Alafin was then proclaimed as the appointment of the gods.

In practice, the Alafin did not have such absolute power. He could ill afford to offend the members of the Oyo Mesi or the Ogboni (earth cult). Although he could not be deposed, the Alafin could be compelled to commit suicide. If both the Oyo Mesi and the Ogboni disapproved of his personal conduct or policies, or if the Oyo peoples suffered serious reverses, they would commission the Bashorun to present the Alafin with an empty calabash or a dish of parrot’s eggs.

On handing over these meaningful symbols, the Bashorun pronounced a fearful formula: `The gods reject you, the people reject you, the earth rejects you.’ The Alafin was thus informed that his political position had been completely undermined and his removal decided.
https://seunfakze./2012/02/19/the-oyo-empire-by-prof-george-ayittey/

In many parts of Yoruba land, it is also reported that kings can be deposed if they embark on a series of bad behaviour, that brings their community into disrepute.

CFCfan:
She's worth N2.7bn for real?!!

Not possible. Those bloggers always exaggerate their net worth. How many adverts are featured on their blogs every month, and what is the value of each ad? How many followers does she have? Are they up to 2 million? If they had said maybe =N=100 million, then it might be possible.

Here is another report of soldiers court-martialled for desertion of military duties and cowardice last year.

22 Nigerian Army Officers Facing Military Court In Lagos | (24-12-2014)

A batch of 22 army officers is set to be court-martialed in Lagos in connection with recent military failures in the northeast of Nigeria.

The court, set up by the Major General Tibi, the General Officer Commanding the 81 Division of the Nigerian army, will take place at the Officer’s mess of the Military Cantonment in Ikeja. The five-man panel will be headed by Brigadier-General CO Ayara.

In the dock will be mainly those officers recently alleged to have abandoned the frontline of the military operations in Adamawa State as Boko Haram militants invaded Mubi and overran Vimtim, the hometown of the Chief of Defense Staff, Alex Badeh. It is alleged that the officers did not lift a finger against the insurgents.

The officers facing trial indicate that the suspects include:

• Colonel Victor Ebhaleme, who briefly acted as the Brigade Commander of the 23rd Brigade in Yola;
• Lt. Colonel AO Agwu, who was the commander of the soldiers from the 234 battalion that fled Mubi on October 29;
• Captain S Raymond, who was the officer commanding and platoon leader of the Vimtim team guarding the home town of the CDS. He is alleged to have fled with his team as Boko Haram invaded Vimtim on October 28; and
• Lt. Col A A Egbejule, who allegedly burnt several brand new armored tanks as the insurgents overwhelmed his team in a fierce fight between Bassa and Michika; he reportedly fled afterward.

The officers had been in various military police detention centers before their arraignment today in Lagos.

Their arraignment follows the death sentence passed on 59 soldiers by a military court at the Mogadishu barracks in Abuja last week. The condemned soldiers were moved into a military detention facility in Apapa Lagos yesterday; they have not been fed since arriving, they are being held at an underground detention facility according to our sources.

Several of the officers have denied the charges against them, claiming that inadequate equipment and high-level corruption at the top of the military hierarchy are largely responsible for their inability to properly engage Boko Harm militants.

Meanwhile, some 2000 troops accused of abandoning the battlefront in Adamawa are currently sequestered in Jos awaiting transfer to their different units where they will also be court-martialed for various offenses. The soldiers, who were brought in from Yola, are being held under inhumane conditions at the Maxwell Khobe Cantonment at the 3rd division of the Nigerian army in Jos. The soldiers are mostly from 234 battalion, 116 battalion, Army HQ Team ‘A” and 213 battalion.

They remain in Jos subjected to grueling manual labor, denied their allowances while they await repatriation to their respective units to face further disciplinary action.

They go into the army with comnection and influence of their parents. When it's time to do the job, they show boko guy their buttocks and a clean pair of heels. Like Diya, Like Obasanjo, like Obasanjo junior, Like Ransome-kuti. The word 'yoruber' should be a synonym for cowardice in all dictionaries. lol

Did you read the list of those officers court-martialled for the same offence? There were Nigerians from different ethnic groups included in that list, oh. Four Igbo officers were also mentioned.

It was also reported that they did not have functional weapons. So what would they have used to repel the BH invaders or defend the villagers? Their teeth?

Fantastic news! Wow!! Am impressed!! I hope more private universities would emulate this feat and make it possible for Nigerians to get good quality medical treatment within our country.

May Babcock University (BU) continue to excel! Does anyone have an idea on how much the surgery cost?

BushidoBlue:
With the kind of responses I read here in this forum it would seem that there is a subhuman hatred for the Igbo. The reason I say this is because we hear Nairalanders threaten fire and brimstone ok the igbo's as if the flogging of the Eze Igbo wa not enough humiliation.

When the tables turn and these youth are found to err in another man's land where ever on this earth they may find themselves, I hope and pray their hosts will be more merciful than the youth in the palace of the paramount ruler, the Deji of Akure.

Guy, am sorry I had to edit your post as it was too long. But the part in bold refers. How come you have not seen the hate, vitriol and venom that the Igbo visit on other ethnic groups?? Or did you simply forget to mention it?

How come you have not seen the hateful drivel that spews from their posts anytime a non-Igbo person makes a comment on their Biafr.a project or something to do with the South-East or SS Igbo groups, no matter how harmless it may be??

It does not matter if you are Gwari, Nupe, Bachama, Itsekiri, Idoma, Edo, Igala, Ebira etc, once you disagree with them you are automatically labelled a Yoruba man and all the atrocities in the world are ascribed to you! Maka gini?? Is it that they are too lazy to realise that over 150 other ethnic groups exist in Nigeria?

They cannot get along with the Yoruba - they consider them betrayers and sworn enemies, simply because of something Awolowo was reported to have said or done over 45 years ago before and during the civil war.

They cannot get along with the Fulani, Tiv, Hausa, Kanuri, Sayawa etc or any tribe in the North, because they regard them as barbarians, islamic fundamentalists and infidels;

They cannot get along with the Edo, Itsekiri, Urhobo etc because of some perceived or imaginary injustice about what those tribes did to their forbears during the war;

And the list goes on.

And since nobody holds a monopoly on dispensing hate and rancour, other non-Igbo dish it right back to them! Abi na who be mumu??

Well, soldiers from other ethnic groups were also court-martialled for the same offence alongside the Brigadier-General Ransome-Kuti.

Thirty top officers of the Nigerian army are to face a judicial panel allegedly over the offences committed in the course of the fight against Boko Haram.

Based on the March 11 internal army memo sighted by the Premium Times, the military seniors would head to the army headquarters to be court-martialed for various offences.

Among those listed in the document is Enitan Ransome-Kuti, a Brigadier General and commander of the Multi National Joint Task Force. He was reported to have been arrested in Maiduguri earlier this year, over their failure to repel the attack on Baga, Borno state.

It should be recalled that in the recent period the army has ordered numerous proceedings involving the Nigerian soldiers and officers. Some of the tried soldiers were accused of mutiny and sentenced to the capital punishment. The move was followed by negative reactions, with Nigerians begging court to spare their lives.

The military authorities were accused of sending the soldiers to fight against Boko Haram without giving them the adequate weapons. The army tops insisted that fleeing and mutiny made the crimes which deserved death sentence. https://www.naij.com/436925-names-of-30-top-army-officers-to-face-court-martial.html

Some of the tried soldiers were accused of mutiny and sentenced to the capital punishment. The move was followed by negative reactions, with Nigerians begging court to spare their lives.

The military authorities were accused of sending the soldiers to fight against Boko Haram without giving them the adequate weapons. The army tops insisted that fleeing and mutiny made the crimes which deserved death sentence. https://www.naij.com/436925-names-of-30-top-army-officers-to-face-court-martial.html

It seems everyone has missed out on one vital point made by the OP. The house in Banana Island belongs to Linda Ikeji's sister! Not her...

Lol!
Even the unknown quack website you quoted was talking of the possibility of virus being a primitive cell! Note the word 'Likely' in the text, yeye dullard!
As a matter of fact, such theory hasn't been verified because even as a primitive cell, it should be able to reproduce by itself through asexual means like budding, cell division, fragmentation etc which a virus can't!
I will ask again, does the Dein of Agbor wears Ibo or Bini attires?
Yeye dunce!

Guy, a virus may be regarded as 'primitive,' but that does not stop it from creating havoc, if it gets inside a suitable host. And many of them are difficult to eradicate. Ask those who suffered from Ebola and HIV.

Sweetguy25:
Things have drastically changed. First of all, The quality of education you received in the 80s is totally different from what youths of this generation receives these days. Secondly, the population of youths weren't as high as it is currently. Thirdly, the country had not fully deteriorated to the failed state it is today.

You can't compare youths back then and youths of today. Youths back were the guys who enjoyed what was left of this useless country called Nigeria. They had free meals in Universities, better lecturers and education system. They had less competition, better opportunities and generally better standards of living. Cultures, media and technologies that promote laziness and mental retardation (pornography, video games, twitter and social media etc) weren't rampant or were virtually non-existent back then.

It is totally impossible for a youth to start a bank in this dispensation. It will amount to nothing but a pipe dream.
The current state of the Nigerian youth population shows that the future of Nigeria is very dark and gloomy.

Plenty of excuses were running through your post. In what way has the standard of education received in the 80s changed from what is being given out now?? Kindly be specific by spelling it out in chapter and verse.

In the 80s, there were no longer any free meals anywhere. Squatting had become the order of the day from the mid-eighties onwards, as there was no longer any free accommodation space in the hostels. I used to visit my older siblings in the uni then, and I know what they went through to get an education.

Today, you guys have social media, internet, mobile phones, Google and all kinds of NGOs offering entrepreneurial trainings, YouWIN and all kinds of programmes. Were those things available in the 80s? No.

There is an adage that says 'he who dares, wins!" Most of the youth today lack any direction for their lives. They are too busy sagging their trousers and their brains, to think constructively outside the box, and see what kind of innovative things they can create which would etch their names in the annals of history.

u can call it anything u like..falsehood or truthhood, all i knw is that i hv passed the massege across. So wateva

Guy, you didn't pass any message across, o! You invented a story or concocted a tale, to try and confuse people who wanted to know why your folks now wear aso-ebi.

athaboi:
u better dont mind him.. Ashebi is derived from english word "i shall be" so the single ladies on dsame uniform is telling their frnd getting married that they shall be like her. So is not a yoruba word aso ebi as d guy claim. Their mayb aso ebi but ours is ashebi

Hmmn... your tales by moonlight is getting more and more interesting! Derived from an English word, indeed.
