Goodvibes007:

Whatever rocks your boat.

what rocks my boat is facts and figures

we don't even have Biafra but SE is the most built up Region by percentage land mass

Again, apart from Lagos SW is just one big slum

no wonder no SW state have up to 80% of their people living in Thier states of Origin all Una na from Lagos

Goodvibes007:

You posted 2021 and you are asking me what year is mine. Lol. You think StatiSense is the only agency releasing datas abi. LMAO.

mine have date yours does not


SE has the least number of poor people in Nigeria

by miles!!

Goodvibes007:

Stat here.

what year is that?

I gave you not only 1 data but two

obviously you can't read properly

SE has the highest literacy rate in Nigeria today by miles!

Goodvibes007:

Even your stat, if you find the average, you will see the SW is still ahead. E.g. Add the rich, middle class and poor, them divide the percentages by 3.

😭😭😭😭

cry me a river

I showed you stats you dey cry

you people are doing well.Good to be back

Goodvibes007:

Are you minding that guy. He was lying with so much with confidence. SW is the next oil rich region after SS. In addition, SW has the richest household and it's economy leads in internal revenue generation as well. The reason why the SE who move to SW to do business succeed is because of the spending power of the SW, else they would have stayed back in their region and sell to themselves.

garbage 🗑️


SE is by far the richest region

SE dominates the rich and mid class of Nigeria

SE are the most literated

SE has the lowest amount of out of school children

SE is the most urbanized region in Nigeria


keep living in denial

minus Lagos SW is a sh!thole

illicit:


Yeah

That's why I said 'usually'

Some words are just used because of its popular usage and acceptability

But when u borrow a thing from a language, u often borrow the name with it, for example Pressing iron, in Yoruba it is still "Iron"

Table is still Table or "Tabili'

Sugar is sugar

Block is block

Pure water is usually pure water

There is also agglutination, etc

true

Ekiti? My favourite state from SW

That state na Peaceful place o


With alot of educated people I can testify to that anywhere


It's well

illicit:


Ok now

When u loan a word from a language to call something

It usually means that that same thing was not present in your environment before

It's usually that you borrowed that thing and the name it's called

If you have that thing before, you will have a name for it

To the best of my knowledge, the benins used to have Ogiso, which is a duke

When Yoruba introduced Kingship to them, the name came with it

Not necessarily true

For example

I can say "

That's your mom over there ọkwa ya?

But I always prefer saying

That's your mom over there abi?

Abi is Yoruba word and ọkwa ya is igbo word for same thing 'right'

It's just convinience


I have seen Yorubas saying
Biko alot that doesn't mean they don't have a word for 'please'
It's just convnience.

Again I might be wrong one thing I'm sure tho is oduduwa can not fall from the sky who knows Binis might be right saying he's Thier son
. Binis might be wrong too sha who knows

cutecommend:
What language does members of your family speak often to each other?

English

Igbo

illicit:


You are diverging


Does Oba mean anything in Benin Language

It's either yes or no

Talking about Igbo Language is very irrelevant here

Because Oba in Igbo doesn't mean what it means in Benin or Yoruba, so it's out of point


In Yoruba, O - ba means King, he who presides...

In Benin, explain how oba means King, simple

I am a Linguist

If you're a linguist you'd know that

Words can be borrowed from people you've made contact with and doesn't necessarily means they don't have a word for it . They just prefer to use the borrowed word

I had a conversation about this topic with my friend yesterday . He's actually a linguist , He said it's absolutely possible to replace a local word by a borrowed word from another neighbouring language. According to him it's called Lexical replacement or loan word replacement.
It happens alot especially with society you've come in contact with and it's the basis of English language . English is 80+% loanwords! So what's the fuss about.

Op they're coming for you o children of hate liar
Them say oduduwa fell from the sky

illicit:


So what does oba mean in Benin Morphology

Explain pls

You realise bini and other languages of southern Nigeria are from the Niger-Congo language family


And yes there are converging linguistic links here and there


For example

Oba in ìgbo means Barn for yams and other produces

Obà still means that plant used in making calabash


So don't brag about origin of word with people you're in same language family with


It ight mean something in their language you never can tell


If na lie ask any Igbo person wetin Olaniyi means in Igbo you'll be shocked

ednut1:
https://www.nairaland.com/7591924/geo-political-breakdown-2023-presidential-election the stats shows that south east was the tribalistic one.

How many times have you people voted Igbos but Igbos have voted obi twice!


Tribalists!

Godfullsam:
An average Igbo thinks too high of himself.

How on earth will you even entertain the thought that, if igbos leave lagos, the Lagos economy will collapse?

No be mumu be that?!

What's wrong with thinking big about one's self?

Alot of cries of from Af0njas

xavuv:
Pain killers, folic acid every now and then, cancel all mosquitoes in that area , balanced diet, little stress and enough rest.

Plus ready on demand emergency fund just incase.

These are from my experience when i lived with someone having SS.

As a health professional I'll say

Malaria is the least concern of people with sickle cell

They're almost immune to it

yoruboid:
Another chest thumping thread

Have you heard of Eva Care or Duchess Intl Hospitals in Lekki and Ikeja GRA respectively?

SE the indigenous manufacturing hub of Nigeria

Vp you're welcome

maruzia:

Anambra never carry anything for head except money

especially our Onitsha and Nnewi brothers

dbestcno:


Nice but I wonder why Imo carry our Ojukwu ikemba for head pass us.

I think they're rotating amongst state

humilitypays:
Not true.


Ojukwu stood and fought Nigeria for 3 good years until Britain backed Nigeria to blockade food passage to Biafra which led to mass starvation of Biafran children mostly and Biafran soldiers started losing morale to fight, hence Biafran elites begged Ojukwu to throw in the towel he refused, they then proposed that he should just leave Biafra and allow his Vice Philip Effiong to surrender to Nigeria to save Biafran children from further dying of hunger induced by the food blockade that caused global outcry.

Britain via Awolowo suggested the food blockade as a means to end the war as they noticed Nigeria couldn't defeat Biafra just by military battle, they saw the economic and starvation policy as the only way to defeat Biafra.


Mind you, Nigeria was fully supported militarily, financially and otherwise by the below countries:


Britain
Egypt
Russia
USA who later withdrew
AU countries
Saudi Arabia
Chad
Niger


While Biafra was supported with some military weapon sales by:

France


Some mercenaries by:

Israel

Relief materials by:

Gabon
Republic of Ireland Catholic Mission

They know.


Why are you explaining

You owe him no explanation

HeroicMeastro:

But he ran away from the war he ignited, isn't that cowardice?
I think he is a coward!!!

I'd respect anyone who put up a fight with me than someone cowering behind others



Ojukwu is our hero may he rest well

Ikemba Nnewi rest well our hero

Pakute:
It is a fact that Ibo girls outnumber ibo boys in school. The boys mostly come through the apprentice system, hundreds of ibo boys are being picked up by uncles to the cities to serve them. It means that girls in iboland stayed back in school eventhough they regarded education of women as a waste of time and money, since the young girls will soon marry and leave the family. Female education was not considered important, today, however, there is a preponderance of ibo girls at school who currently far outnumber the boys both secondary and tertiary institutions as more and more ibo boys drop out of school. With the tide forcing many families to send their girl child to school, the parents would rather get back the monies spent on her since she is not considered a part of the family when she eventually leave for her husband's house, unlike the male child, she brings no value once she's gone. Bride price in iboland is calculated based on how they spent on her education and expected the husband for recompense.

Another garbage from a scarface person

I know say na cele

Corn247:

Before the senseless stories, name the things igbos are producing that govt is taxing.

I mean things that are selling throughout the country
