^^^There's this website i posted the link a few years back....it showed old pics from colonial Nigeria! A few of the pics showed some white people posing for pics at a Nanka gully erosion site.....and this was in the early 60s i think!

Besides the issue of our soil type, i think a huge part of the problem is our disregard for the environment and the attendant indiscriminate felling of trees! I'm sure all those areas would have been thick jungle even as recent a time as the reign of Queen Victoria or the period in which the fictional character of Okonkwo in Things Fall Apart lived!

Most of our erosion problem has to do with the caliber of heavy bombs dropped on it during the war. a military personnel was talking about it on Tv around 1999 during the transition period. the bombs simply "scattered the head" of our soil strata.
no be small thing our papa dem see o.

Please DO NOT send me e-mails with attachment as i do not like opening attachments because of concerns on spam mails.

Thanks

i sent you a mail, you have not replied. br****sec**e@yahoo.com

this road sweepers thing, honestly, i never thought an igbo person will agree to take up such job. the pay probably is good otherwise, here in lagos, their monthly salary ranges between 12k to 15k.

Having seen/heard/read the ministerial list, there is no doubt Yorubas have bagged most of the 'juiciest' ministerial portfolios.

Of the 7 Yoruba ministers presented, 6 of them got substantive and 'juicy' ministerial portfolios while the 7th is a minister of state in a very sensitive/key ministry.

One of them has even made history by bagging 3 substantive portfolios at the same time.

They are:

1. Kemi Adeosun - Finance

2. Babatunde Fashola - Power/Works/Housing - Great, Epic! As in? What's PMB thinking?

3. Kayode Fayemi - Solid Minerals

4. Isaac Adewole - Health

5. Shittu - Communication

6. Lai Mohammed - Information

7. Omoleye Daramola - State, Niger Delta.

No doubt, all I can say is congratulations to Tinubu and the entire Yoruba ethnic nationality. Our efforts at bringing about the much desired change in govt has paid off once again just like it paid off when we emerged numbers 2, 3 and 6 in the order of precedence. And in addition to that the Senate Chief Whip position and House Leader position.

To all the my ibo brothers who have been wailing 'used and dumped' , 'Yorubas are slaves' etc at we Yorubas, all I can say is 'ndo'.

Between 2011 and 2015, ibos held sway at the expense of Yorubas. Today, the tide had turned in our favour.

As far as Nigeria is concerned, ibos will NEVER measure up to we Yorubas. You will only die trying.

Nigeria is jointly owned by we Yorubas and the northerners. No more, no less.

If I say ibos are slaves looking for freedom from Nigeria via Biafra, nobody should crucify me.

I'll like to hear from the loud-mouthed, empty chest-beating ibo crew as follows:

chukwudi44
freeglobe
onenaira
pazienza

victorciza
ekafine the housegirl from Akwa Ibom

This is the time to stand your ground in the face of humiliation rather than run abstain from Nairaland for some days with your tails tucked between your legs like petrified dogs.

Believe you me, I have nothing against ibos. I am only responding to their 5/6-month long wailing on how Yorubas have been 'used and dumped' by their 'abokki masters' in their deluded minds and world of fantasy.

Up Tinubu!
Up PMB!!
Up Yorubas!!!
Up Nigeria!!!!

One love.

I have not accepted anything, I have only diagnosed the problem to be something else. With what I see as the problem, I can assure you that if we break away today without setting some pre-requisites in place, it would be a disaster which would be worse than south sudan.

In my opinion, I liken a secession to transplanting a kidney when it is actually a liver that has failed. It can only be disastrous and black nations for long have always fallen into the mistake of wrong socio-political diagnosis. In the 60's, a secession would have been the answer, but now is absolutely not the 60s. Even Ojukwu himself saw that Igbos had a bigger problem of leadership at the local level, that was why he formed APGA to tackle this. Today Igbos have sold APGA to PDP, PDP has failed and we are chasing secession as if it's a holy grail.

As for the GEJ confab, GEJ organised it strictly for political hoodwinking reasons. Dont allow yourself be deceived.

I just don't get it when people play the victim card on the number of people that died in the inglorious civil war. I don't care about the number be it 500k, 1m, 3m or even 10m! Afterall, it was a war and the biafra soldiers were not saying the lords prayers - they were busy killing Nigerians too.

For some reasons, I took a public transport some weeks ago I heard some guys discussing (they were both ibos). One of them ask the other "how on earth do you fight with someone that feeds you?" According to him, although Awolowo was wrong for the so-called starvation policy, but should be commended for ending the war sooner because he (Awo) could have chosen to poison the foods and kill millions more instead of the blockade.

I never thought of it that way before but it rang through to me. You can't pick up a fight with your boss and later turn around complaining that he sacks you! His point was that the ibos started a war that they were not prepared for and now complaining of the consequence - fighting someone that feed you and later complain of not giving you food.

Having said that the truth is that everybody has a GOD given right to call for self-determination. BUT it must be through peaceful means. Otherwise history is notorious of having a way to repeat itself. A friend showed me a video on a questions and answer summit by some Igbo group with Mr Kanu. It was shocking to see how unprepaired the guy is as he couldn't give convincing answers to some of the questions asked.

Any group is free to ask for independence but it has to be peaceful without insult to others especially those who they think should follow them.

you are just fooling yourself. we dont want to be with you, we want to be one our own in our own land, but nyash no gree una stay una lane.
it is amazing that in all these things, you people still see yourselves as blameless, let alone the agressor.

Group sues Buhari, seeks to halt ministers’ inauguration



Nigerian youths under the aegis of Youth Concerns Realisation Initiative have filed a suit seeking to stop President Muhammadu Buhari from inaugurating the 36 recently-cleared ministers.

The members of the group are protesting against the non-inclusion of youths among the ministers-designate.



Media officer of the initiative, Ms. Blessing Luka, who spoke on behalf of the group at a press briefing in Abuja, on Monday, said it was now clear that the administration has no intention of giving Nigerian youths a chance.

She expressed regret that politicians across party lines had formed the habit of using youths during elections and dumping them afterwards.

She said, “We at YCRI have filed an action in suit No FHC/ABJ/773/2015. We expected to see youths among the President’s 36 nominees sent to the Senate but we were disappointed to see no youth in the list.

“For this reason, we have gone to court to ask for an injunction to restrain the President from inaugurating them until they give the youths a sense of belonging.

“This matter was filed on Friday October 30, 2015. What we are simply asking is that they (ministers-designate) should not be inaugurated or assigned portfolios.”

Luka stressed that it would be a total disservice to the nation for youths who formed the bulk of Nigeria’s population to be left out of the decision-making process.

According to her, Nigerians youths had restrained themselves from resorting to self-help, hence their decision to seek legal redress.

sorry, dont mind me. i do office work, just that i own mine so i never needed to move things about. my mistake.
all the same, why search a man's bag? do men search women's purse?

investnow2013:
Poor channelling of flood water again is another problem here!......I must be honest with you to say that most of these so called erosion sites in Anambra State/Nigeria are man made!..... I am very surprise at the level of negligence now taking over govt!. This should not have reached to this level, if Obiano's commissioner of Environment & that of Works are leaving up to expections!.We don't want more life lost again in Anambra State again because of this, for a lot of people had lost there lives this year already.! They need to be pro-active!. Please Umunnem we must learn to hold any govt of the day to account on every issue where they have failed totally!. This is called constructive criticism! Udo dili unu!. Invest now

a good example was/is the hitherto erosion site at tarzan, nkpor express. the idiots that built that expressway, channeled the drainage just into the adjacent street where one of our houses is. you will even see where the government "drainage" ended and where the people of the area (especially my dad and or neighbour) continued what was meant to be government responsibility. put in lay terms, they basically emptied the drainage into the street and the erosion menance started. we thank God for GEJ, otherwise na minus one house we for get by now.

Specialist900:
Those guys on top of the collapsed building get mind o. Abi them photocopy their lives keep for house

She's by herself a pretty woman. Makeup just shows possibilities...

I think you are right. otherwise, let the make up artist go for baba iyabo let's see.

I give it to ishans, their girls are quite pretty on the general, but they are not predominantly fair skinned. I schooled there myself. I don't see how they look like Igbo's either unless we are arrogating beauty to IGBO girls alone. between them and the Bini are also a coin toss as to who have prettier girls. one thing no other tribe can beat them in is superior craft. the worst of mankind can be easily found amongst them although I also have to say, the best of the best can also be found there. there is no middle ground. either you are totally for God, or for juju.
their language is also a high point for them, I mean, I thought they were singing when I first heard them speak, so sonorous.

standingtall:
hi guys,

I have been dating my fiance for 3 years now. In the beginning everything was cool until recently. About a month ago, I found condoms an, empty pack of condoms in his bag, I confronted him about it and he told me he saw the pack on the floor and he liked the colour of the pack so he picked it up.

I let it go because I didn't want to upset him since he started getting upset.

Fast forward to today, I was looking for change in his bag and this time I found 3 different brands of unused condoms in his bag.

I didn't say anything and I won't say anything. I am hurt and crying inside.I just don't understand what he wants again. I hate him so much right now.

Please my sisters, I need a coping mechanism until am safely far from him. Sorry about my epistle. I needed to let it out.

abeg talk another thing joor, which kind bag man dey carry? if na wallet u talk, I for believe u small.

Elosky20:
those days in skul was one of the bullies then.so there was this girl i was eyeing but there was a guy she loves more.so on this particular day i cornered both of them on a bush path while going home so told the guy to start running but he refused, so we started fighting o next thing i saw my self on the floor recieving blows o, only for the girl in question to assume the role of a ref. i saw hell that day, to make matters worse he called the girl to come and feed me with sand and grass. i have to leave skul to save my face

you should have known. when a guy is fighting in front of a girl he fancies, he cant loose!!. no matter how small he looks.

Obiagu1:
Well the door is not shut on Edo people, even Kanu gave conditions mainly concerning the powers of the Oba of Benin.

Biafra don't want overwhelming influence of monarchs.

i think all minorities in the south shoud be included just for the purpose of getting away from these mob. we can always grant them their edo republic immediately afterwards. we dont need slighted people around us for the struggle.

bigfrancis21:
I have one here in my office in the US, born to a Yoruba father and Igbo mother and she is so proud of her maternal ancestry. Physically, she looks very much Igbo. It also seems that non-Igbos born to Igbo mothers often tend to look more Igbo than their father's ancestry. Another example is Eberechi Yemi Alade, a half Igbo half Yoruba girl, who looks every inch Igbo.

no wonder. our women need to stop subsidizing this yoruba gene.

Onijagidijagan:
they cud b igbo as u do u knw dat plenty ibos change Names to yorubas and also their name 4 ashawo things.

igbo women are prostitutes anywhere. if ur Mom or sisters comes to d South west, i'll Bleep her with less than 1000 naira.
d best igbo females are all in d SW region of which igbo females r not precious in South west cuz they r in ever corner. seeing ur women is like seeing a prostitute already just believe me. igbo males suppose to be dating them but they cannot get them bcus of their inferiority complex, na yoruba guys can ffuck them d way they want.

see yoruba people that dont even have power for anything claiming they can fvck igbo women properly. u wan die?

let us ask your yoruba sisters that keep shouting "haaa" "yeeh" etc and cursing you in mgbati language while you are doing them the thing.

Melancholy:
Abi oo, the likes of ayo adesanya,yemi black,bimbo akintola, were there for him as mentors. What a mediocre way of thinking!

you guys need to stop feeling insecure. if sola thinks his mgatimgbati name is not corporate enough for the igbo nollywood, he could have ported to the yorubawood - no dispute.

we have rita dominic and stella damascus as well, so zip it. awon obe ekpo.
