Population growth of minority groups

Abkreizi:
I said had they joined.....
If they had joined the union they wouldn't have grown like this

Buhdeuce:
Did you read about the woman's mental state or you just have itchy fingers?

NonsoWow:
Aba doesn't have limited land. Infact, it is the largest city in Igboland by land area. The similarity in building pattern is because many Anambra businessmen are based in Aba and have shaped their building style.

Buhdeuce:
This judgement is probably one of the hardest pronouncements this judge has had to make in his/her career.

Nigerian naira is too weak.How can a plane cost #79b? That is a budget in some African countries in a year.

Anyway what's my business

tactius:
Seems he is well qualified for the job...

Modified...

I have been quoted by several people who seem to think that the only qualified person for the job of NNPC GMD is a Southerner. Apart from the bigotry of the idea (which is jsut as bad as the APC Northerner bigotry)....there are a lot of educated Northern professionals who do a good job in both public and private sector.

If you want more jobs, simply start by getting government to deregulate petrol and electric power. There would be bountiful jobs as a result....directly and indirectly...and we the SOuth would be in the lead.

This aggressive market strategy by Uncle Sam will likely backfire. I trust the Chinese government to compel all the mobile phone companies in China to go for the Huawei OS and you know what that means, they have the African and Asian Market and will compete for the European market. Huawei might just become the biggest beneficiary of the trade war.

tee59:
It matters to me personally. I can't marry from the riverine areas. These people are too wicked and can do anything for money. Also, barrier in communication is not my thing, except English. I can't relate.

laudate:
Aworis see themselves as Yoruba. kindly read a little about their history. As for "mixing with slave returnees like the Cokers of this world," you may need to expatiate a bit further. Does mixing refer to social interaction or marriages, or business transaction or what exactly??





This is debatable. The Egun (or Ogu) are said to have a dialect that has been influenced by the languages of others, that they have come into contact with. Don't forget that their major town Badagry was a slave port in the 16th century, and merchants, slave traders and coastal folks from Togo, old Dahomey and Ghana were always in transit through the town. In latter years, many of these migrants settled among the Egun people and their languages, customs and mannerisms were assimilated by the Egun people. That is why their language/dialect is so difficult to understand by the average Lagosian. People say their dialect is not easy to understand, as it is quite deep.

It is like asking an Ossomala indigene from Anambra whose dialect is so different from the Izzi people of Ebonyi, to interprete or translate the Izzi dialect, without learning it.

Please read a bit about the history of the Egun (or Ogu) people, here:



Scholars say: "Culture, we are reminded, is in a perpetual flux and cannot be subjected to the frozen view ". So you find some people who claim that the the Egun are not Yoruba (even if some of them bear Yoruba names). So, why impose Yoruba cultural institutions on them? They claim that their relationship with the Yoruba is like the kind of relationship the Itsekiri have with the Yoruba. Similar customs with respect to nomenclature and languages, but totally separate identity.

Unfortunately, the jury is still out on this one. Only the Yoruba people and the Egun, can give an accurate picture of their relationship with each other.



The king was talking about the various migration patterns that brought the Ijebu people to their present domain. Among the Ijebu, there were various waves of migrations that brought them together. No human being or community grew from the ground or soil. They all migrated from somewhere.

Binikingdowm:
Mhen this industrial park will likely be the largest in Nigeria with export base system.

When completed I don't want Edo state government hiring non indigene of the state oo.

Let them go back to their own state and hold their leaders accountable

kingzizzy:
If an Izzi man met an Abiriba man, without central Igbo, their communication would be very slow because both dialects are different.

That's why everyone switches to central Igbo to make life easier

NwaEzefuNaMba:
Clear which ignorance?
That I am Akassa man from Sangana but neither speak nor understand Ijaw language; which ignorance are you talking about clearing here?

NwaEzefuNaMba:
Well, an average Ijaw man doesn't understand Akassa native dialect.

KIA51:
Please for the records.... Bar. Uche Onyeagocha is from umuagam in Obinze which is in Imo state; quote me anywhere. Honorable which happens to be the name he is fondly called is married to aunt Nengi, from Bonny in Rivers state; he might have a good relationship with the Bayelsans, but that doesn't make him a bayelsan.

I happen to know all this because my elder brother is married to his younger sister. On this regard i urge the reporter of this info to get his facts checked.... No disrespect to the reporter tho.

Daniwak:
who told u Ijaw does not understand Nembe? U ppl like displaying crass ignorance on this forum.. Nembe, Ijaw, Kalabari,Okrika can hear each other.. They have much similarities in Language.. An Ijaw man calls God Ayiba,same with the Nembe man while the Ogbia man call God Aziba. We are all Izon ppl just that Dickson and his cohort are bringing a nonsense sentiment of core Ijaw & non core Ijaw

Agbaletu:
You're right, I am an outsider, but I have been around for 7 years. I have staff from all the LGAs in Bayelsa state. They actually don't understand themselves especially Nembe. Except if they are pretending to me.

Agbaletu:
Correct me if I am wrong, in Imo State, they all speak Igbo language and they understand one another, right? Epie person does not understand Ijaw and Ijaw person doesn't understand Nembe. I think an Epie may understand Akassa.
