@Southeast:
My friend, I'm not ready to argue or join issues with you, My point is just that most state in Nigeria have failed and instead of arguing about what state is richer or poorer than each other we especially the present generations should start looking for ways of changing things just like youths around the world are beginning to demand for change.

Well said.
But people here have not admitted that Ekiti state is a very failed state.

Lanrefemi:
what indices are we using to measure poverty level here? is it how beautiful a state is? or the no of SME as someone was asking on this thread!
I have been to a lot of state in Nigeria, from south to north and I can't see any difference among most of these states, as a matter of fact I was really shocked at the poverty level among the people of Rivers state when I was serving there, despite the fact that they have one of the highest GDP in Nigeria! Even as "rich" as Lagos state is it has the highest homeless and jobless people in the country, a lot of hausas are professional beggars even with all the money the northern leaders have looted over the years

Guys stop arguing about what state is poorer or richer than each other, all Nigerian states have all failed! As a matter of fact I will even say that Ekiti state is a model for other state i.e it's one of the few states in the country that can choose their leaders (governors) without any imposition.
Ekiti state is one of the major state producing the human resource of the country. apart from the professors everybody is talking about go round the major sector of Nigeria economy from the Oil sector, banking, education, Law, civil service, Ekiti people are there, they've done well for Nigeria and themselves.

It's about their so called professors. They are all or almost professors of Islamic and arabic studies.

SouthEast:
But where are all these so-called professor s from Ekiti? What are they doing for their state?
Are these just passers of book exams with no practical applicability
Or are they parading with fake credentials (olowole)
I hear 95% of the professors there are professing in subjects like History, Yoruba Language, Social Studies, Accounting and Law, all of which cannot solve poverty problems

90% of their so called professors major in Islamic and arabic studies.

Thank God none of them died. I love the Yorubas and I do not wish them death.

Aigbofa:
Your response is even more idiotic. I thought ibos were super smart when it comes to business. Do you locate your business based on sentiments or on your ability to make a profit?
If an Ekiti man is building a cocao processing factory in Lagos, I would suggest that is not right, but to suggest I move my factory to Ekiti just because I'm from Ekiti is patently stupi.d.

In any case, I love to see those ibo labourers back.

Quit all this your idiotic posts. If an Ekiti man relocates his industry to Ekiti, it will create jobs for natives, bring construction of roads or widening and other infrastructures as well as basic amenities lacking in this good for nothing state. It is sickening for them to stay in Lagos and claim Lagos as their state while the state lags behind and becomes an object of caricature.

Aigbofa:
I am from Ekiti and I can tell you why Ekiti is not as productive as we used to be. Ekiti is an agrarian state and we used to have a lot of ibo farm labourers working on our farms while the children were away at school.
But things have changed, ibos are now going to school and we didn't anticipate what effect that would have on our farms.
The next stage is to take the initiative again and start mechanized farming and we will be just fine.

What an idiotic reason above. To start mechanised agriculture is good but not enough. Ekiti state natives should relocate their industries from Lagos to Ekiti. They should be proud of their state and give up this idiotic idea of claiming Lagos.

mithel:
I love the way the yorubas have not fallen for the trap the igbos are setting.

If continued,tribal wars on NL would reduce drastically.

A yorubaman under the monicker Gbenga (Gbenge77) started this thread. Not an Igbo setting.

doesnt surprise me!

So how can you help this very very poor state?.

kettykin:
so why is ekiti still called fountain of knowledge instead of fountain of poverty. My problem with the southwest is that they are not good in anything except claiming lagos as their own.

Ekiti is not a desert place, is did not suffer war or religious crises, it is not erosion ridden or prone to flood , it is not in any border crises with its neighbours, it didnt suffer genocide or progrom ,yet ekiti is the second poorest state in nigeria. And some lunatics come here to tell us ekiti has the largest number of profs , profs of chronic poverty who cant develop their states

Well done, especially claiming Lagos. They all do. What a shame.

chino11:
Then you guys should start converting the above to cash, yes cash that is what matters or stop disturbing us here with your poverty issues. I never knew you guys had agricultural land still you guys are still starving, drinking only white garri.

I think they drink mostly Ijebu garri, which is not white. They drink that with beans meal which they call ewa.  They drink that garri and ewa x3 in each day. As you know, the state is poor.

airmark:
Igbos are known for poor grammar and lies. Yours needs divine deliverance.

Monkey, concentrate on the topic and do not involve the Igbo.

They should release the Igwe, but his manhood should be cut off so that he will not rrape again.

boy t:
The reason is, we Yorubas concentrated more only in Lagos state, thereby neglecting the indigenous states.
The reason why most SW states are poor is they all claim to be Lagosians. Compired to our Ibo bro./sis who will never forget their state of origin no matter where they resides. we must not attribute dev. to only Federal allocations

The best response from a Yoruba. Well done.

WilWily:
The only people wishing Ojukwu death are the Yorubas, if God want him so be it since he didn't commit Suicide, unlike Awolowo who killed him self by drinking Rat poison and are now roasting in hell fire with Judas Iscariot.

Oh poor Awo, you shouldn't have acted so no matter the circumstance.

I am not surprised this news is coming from ezeuche. There is no need recounting my ordeal last week in the east. Suffice it to say my white turned turned red. It is the lame man without hands and legs that normally start a war[b][/b]. smmhhh

Mr man or is it mr Red, count Ezeuche out of this and concentrate on the thread. He is not the thread starter and he must not scare you.

alj harem:
Igbo is the people

ibo is the language

thus you can say igbo is the same is ibo

igbo=ibo

some call it eebo or heebo which to me might be offensive to igbos

but igbo and ibo is the same thing, do not let all this nairaland revisionist lie to you that it is igbo not ibo. that is a lie

IGBO or IBO is the same but it all depends on the context in which you use it

Alh, can you stop this brainless argument of yours. I thought you know better than this or are you putting up this crap to cajole the Igbo. Anyway, those who wrote Igbo were schooled in the old British fasion. But now Ndigbo controls their literary work and has made it clearly known even to the Europeans that it is Igbo. Chinua Achebe even in the 1950's also wrote Ibo but has since stopped it but writes IGBO now.
It is IGBO.

Are the Igbos different from the Ibos? Posted on 27/07/2011 by Prince Charles Oforkaja

Sometimes, some Igbos get offended when their ethnicity is described as Ibo. They say that the word “Igbo” is the only correct term for their ethnic group. That is not true.

Our founding father, Eri Ben Gad described himself as Heebo, after his Hebrew ethnic group. Olaudah Equiano described himself as Iboe- remember, he is the Equianoist icon. In the Jamaican Revolution of 1816, the Reggae nation named their leader “The King of the Eboes”.Many other great Equianoists (Igbos) have described themselves by different variants of this name. What matters is that we all know they were talking of the same people, the great Igbo race.

So, next time someone calls you Ibo, don’t frown. Smile! That is what you are.

@the thread originator and the article writer, you are brain-dead monkeys. The aim of you monkeys is to set the Igbo back by 100 years. Shame unto you all. It is Igbo.

obowunmi:
exactly why Nigeria will not move forward --- no one ever achieved anything with segregation.

Brain-dead monkey, you are one of those idiotts that any thing Igbo scares life out of them. What is wrong for a people of over 40 million to have a congress?. In America Jews and other nations do have their own congresses yet you do not run your smelly mouth about it. Get a life bigoted pig.

ezeagu:
You can't mention Anioma without Agbor. How are they bush? You know they are capable of feeding the whole of Igboland?

Can you stop that silly joke?.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=458875.msg8761061#msg8761061 date=1311258088]Eze,

Well, would you not like that people become knowledgable in your history?


Ogbuefi is the voice that shares that historical awareness. The problem is people in that position that are the voice of culture and history are very deeply rooted in the belief that they are speaking for the best culture around. So in their recital or narrative certain aspects are suppressed if they are humiliating and embellished if they are glorious. All native historians are guilty of that bias. History is not necessarily truth, its only an accountn, and since you might need it one day as a propaganda tool, proactive care is observed on how much need to be shared and what in it should be decorated for presentation.

You feel me?

History as a propaganda tool is very effective for beating down your rivals and winning against competition, particularly on issues of territorial disputes. What Ogbuefi is doing falls smack into that role.

He is not rewriting Igbo history, rather he is exploiting the lack of awareness and strong founding in others to retell who they are in an attempt to subdue their pride and spirit, thereby shaking loose their firm grip on their land. You cannot move or win over a strong person but by creating vulnerability and exploiting that crackline you can subdue him.

When you mention google, wikipedia, online resources as the spring for your claim, however false the claim maybe. . . . .people drop their resistance and back off from challenging your claim. Incrementally we all have unconsciously undergone social engineering and being conditioned to view these resources as a sacrament. By using wikipedia as source and he is therefore absolving himself by saying "if you don't believe at least you believe wikipedia".

Wikipedia is nothing but an open database. The word "open" is the keyword here. It reports to the world what you want it to say.

Anyway, you need to wake the fvck up Eze and develop a discriminating and shrewd mind instead of living a "follow-follow" life.

In my view, Ogbuefi is a propagandist, a mediocre one really! But I admire his style of wordsmithing and coherence.

I will be back later to adress his response to me from yesterday. I'm about to blow his Bini/Akure/Owo tale apart.[/quote]Monkey or baboon, choose one, which one are you?. You want to be an Igbo by force, no matter how hard you try, you will never be one, beast. Why not go and thrash out all the madness going out in Odualand and more recently, about your brother who jumped into the lagoon. You have never made any sense since you joined this thread but to display stupidity upon stupidity. Are you not ashamed of yourself. How about the insults you get from all angles.
Baboon phucking asz fart, I do not really know what makes you so dumb but it really works, it's true, idiott.
