Ileke-IdI: My sister, I am Hausa-Fulani from one of the Core Northern states, but about 95% of my lecturers at the undergraduate level, and during my study for one of my MA degrees, were YORUBAS; I am a proud alumnus of TWO of the first-generation universities in the SW! However, I do not agree with what you are insinuating in the part in bold; that we the 'Abokis' and our 'Nyamiris' brothers are any less well="spoken" than you the 'Ofemanus' LOL |

chiefsabi: David Mark any day. he is the right man with a solid pedigree for presido in 2015. He would be easily elected if he has a southwestern running mate In the complex politics of Nigeria, selecting a VP from a particular region does NOT necessarily guarantee a party an electoral victory in that region, especially in the SW; but you may still be right - he could win if he could do well in North and most part of the South. |

Jeel: David Mark insha Jesus I personally believe that if David Mark were to clinch the PDP nomination in 2015, he stands a very good chance of 'winning'; he would easily win in the NC, NE and NW and fare reasonably well in the SS, and even SE to some extent; it is only in the SW that I cannot venture a guess, esp at the moment. 1 Like |

chima12: Mr northsharp,carefully go through your last post,you are beginning to sound more deluded than the nduchuks.there are hausa and fulani assuming Igbo names in the real world just to shortchange the SE during army and civil service recruitment,how much more on a faceless forum like this.this is nairaland,not facebook. Even some of your Igbo brothers and sisters would shake their heads in disappointment at the level of absurdity you exhibited in your claim in the part in bold; a Hausa of Fulani man claiming to be Ikechukwu "just to shortchange the SE during army and civil service recruitment"! Every sane person who is familiar with Nigeria would tell you that it is THE OTHER WAY ROUND! But in any case, can you take up the challenges I threw at your NL Eze, which are as follows: !. Can you tell JUST ONE Hausa-Fulani poster on this forum who uses an IGBO NAME as part of his moniker, for whatever reason or motive, and he/she sticks to using that moniker so religiously, passionately, proudly and for so long as your !! And can you name ONE Hausa-Fulani or Northerner (or any NON-IGBO for that matter) who would so proudly state on a public forum like this that HE/SHE HAS IGBO BLOOD RUNNING IN HIS VEINS if that is NOT the case? |

Onlytruth: Okay, I have a few observations and would follow them up with assertions. 1. I am sure you know fully well that you are being both dishonest and mischievous by describing your Igbo brother Ndu Chuks as a "total and COMMITTED Core Northerner" in this post; just check our exchange on this same subject matter, find out what you YOURSELF had previously conceded as to his Igbonness, and come back to me. 2. In as much as I would detest any threat of use of force from any section of the country against any other section, I find it even more objectionable how you Igbo posters turn your apparent PSYCHOLOGICAL DISCOMFORT at having to deal with A BONA FIDE IGBO POSTER (who may even have MORE Igbo blood running in his veins than some of you) simply because he so openly and vigorously rejects your 3. As I stated in my original post, I am sure if Ndu Chucks were to join a Hausa-Fulani/Northern discussion forum today, it would take only a few posts from him for us to find out that he is NOT a Hausa-Fulani or even a Northerner. 4. Just as I cannot find "ONE (other) Igbo who reminds us that the Nigerian airforce bases are in the North, or that the jets taking off from those bases would obliterate Igboland (PH ) or Warri", I am sure you too CAN NOT find ONE Hausa-Fulani on this forum who would do so; in fact, the way he specifically mentions WARRI AND PH as targets for his hypothetical air strikes, coupled with his apparent beef with Clark, ONLY RE-ENFORCES HIS IGONNESS!. 5. Now, let me give you my own challenges; as faceless as this forum is, can you find ONE Hausa-Fulani poster who uses an IGBO NAME in his moniker, just for the fun of it, and sticks to it so religiously, passionately, proudly and for so long? 6. And if I may repeat the other challenge to you, and to all Igbo posters (including Ndu-Chucks), can you name ONE Hausa-Fulani or Northerner (or any NON-IGBO for that matter) who would so proudly state on a public forum like this that HE/SHE HAS IGBO BLOOD RUNNING IN HIS VEINS if that is NOT the case? 7. It is clear that most of you Igbo posters only reject YOUR IGBO BROTHER on NL Ndu-Chucks)PURELY ON IDEOLOGICAL GROUNDS; you find his strong pro-Nigerian views and anti-Biafran stance so discomforting that you feel you need to find a psychological, escapist way of banishing him from the Ndigbo fold!. 8. But as Sam Ikenna has rightly pointed out, Ndu-Chucks is a nice and lovely person, and I personally consider him as one of the best-informed, most objective and most detribalized posters on ND. However, you Ndigbo on NL, most especially you as their Eze, have to accept that HE IS YOUR IGBO BROTHER, shi ke nan (note how I write it, not 'shikena'! LOL) |

Areosapien: No, he is NOT a Hausa-Fulani; he is an Besides, as a full-blooded Hausa-Fulani myself, I have ample evidence (from Ndu Chucks' previous posts) to prove to everybody that he is not a Hausa-Fulani; and despite the fact that his posts attracts so much ethnic vile against the Hausa-Fulanis, he is certainly NOT a Hausa-Fulani Northerner, but an Igbo - apparently of mixed ethnicity!. As I pointed out earlier, his Igbo kinsmen on NL 'reject' him simply because of his strong anti-Biafran stance and ultra-nationalist support for the 'cesspit' called Nigeria, which might as well stems from his vast investments across the country. The ridiculous allegation that he is a Hausa-Fulani, which is mainly leveled against him by Igbo posters, seems to have stuck on him for a number of reasons; 1. This is a 98% Southern forum, nearly half of whom are Igbos; so as they vehemently 'reject' him for being so openly anti-Biafra, they sell this mischievous perception to other Southern posters, who buy into the deception. I am sure if this were a predominantly Hausa-Fulani/Northern forum, within days EVERYBODY, including the non-Hausa-Fulani Northerners, would quite easily know that he is NOT a Fulani or a Hausa - just as it took me only a few minutes of perusal of his previous posts to know FOR SURE that he is NOT one of us! 2. His apparently strong and passionate support for keeping Nigeria united as one country tends to create a false impression that he is championing the cause of 'the born to rule' Northern elite, therefore he must be a Hausa-Fulani Northerner. And unfortunately, he seems to relish this deceptive impression, which he maintains at the expense of the Hausa-Fulanis, as we continue to take uncharitable ethnic bashing, ironically mainly from his Igbo kinsmen, because of his postings!. So let me repeat to you, most emphatically, that the poster Ndu Chucks, is NOT a Hausa nor a Fulani. He is an Igbo guy who, apparently because of his huge investments in non-Igbo areas, would always support maintaining the status quo; successful Igbo business men like him with huge nationwide business interests, would naturally find it difficult to reconcile themselves with the thought of moving to a Biafran nation!. But just as many posters here seem to continue to believe that [b]Beaf [/b]is an Igbo guy hiding under the ND |

ndu_chucks: I agree with the part in bold - that you generally tend to take non-tribal views on most issues and, as your signature visibly shows, you are a die-hard believer in 'one Nigeria', a position that makes your Igbo brothers and sisters on NL reject you as one of them - even though you have repeatedly stated that you have Igbo blood in running in your veins. Now how would I know if your suggestion of the hypothetical 'air strikes' against WARRI and PH and your issue with Edwin Clark, and the whole attraction of the Ango-Clark story to, and your opening of the thread, were not motivated by the lingering historical problems you Igbos have with your neighbours, the Ijaws? I had pointed out on many threads that although you are NOT a Hausa-Fulani Northerner, you seem to be one of the biggest 'magnets' that attract the most insults against the Hausa-Fulanis on this forum, simply because your Biafran brothers and sisters on NL find it extremely difficult, psychologically, to accept that an Igbo guy would be supporting and defending the continued existence of this[b]cesspit[/b](apology to Dede 1) as vigorously as you do! Your Igbo bros and sisters who reject your because of your strong support for the 'cesspit' tend to forget that your support for 'one Nigeria' and your rejection of any idea of a Biafra country for the Igbos, might have been informed by your pure self-centred economic/commercial/business interests; you might be one of the top Igbo business elite with so many hugely extensive and intensive investments spread all over Nigeria that the mere thought of dividing the country is so, so frightening to you! It might as be that you support the continued existence of Nigeria out your genuine belief that the creation of Biafra might not be in the general interests of your Igbo people.! |

ndu_chucks: Recently, a leader of the Arewa Elders Forum, Prof. Ango Abdulahi, said the North was prepared to go alone if the nation breaks up, adding that the North would not, however, champion the disintegration of the country. Sir, I am kind of disappointed with part in bold; I thought you are too smart and, more importantly, too responsible and patriotic, to have resorted to this kind of petty ethnic baiting! I am afraid, the part in red is enough to convince all that you deliberately set out to throw a bait to the usual ethnic bigots on this forum (only for you to relax back and enjoy your Sunday evening as the ethnic/regional fight begins!). Haba, you should have simply gone to the gym/cinema/football match, or for a walk, if you were that bored, instead of starting an ethnic 'war' on NL! |

991: For me, it was really difficult at first(because i didn't come with too much money) but as years went by I was able to adapt and now am well settled married and doing greatly well. my first 6months was like hell, spending spending and spending without income, I was missing everything about yankee life, I was with family and a few friends but still felt lonely all the time, I was afraid of investing my little capital wrongly or being conned, as a single guy then I was missing my yankee babe. but everything started changing when I invested a little in transport biz and was getting daily income, gradually my income increased and I got an apartment, bought a private-car and then got a wife(no long relationship, just made a choice, pay the dowry and do the traditional wedding straight)......long story shaa Congrats bro. It is quite heartening to hear this success story of coming back home, sweet home!. I feel happy for you and wish you even greater success, ameen. |

It is quite heartening to note how several prominent Christian leaders OF OSUN STATE ORIGIN reacted with so much sense of responsibility, objectivity and decency to the serious allegations that were leveled against their state governor. Apparently THE VAST MAJORITY of Osun state indigenes, OF ALL RELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONS, see the allegations against the governor as merely stemming from sheer political mischief, irresponsibility and recklessness. IMHO, the governor has done well in proving his mettle with the intellectually robust and sharp defence that he reeled out so swiftly, which leaves no one in doubt as to his well-acclaimed intellectual prowess and the high quality of his team of advisors. And I can see the whole saga turning out to be a blessing in disguise for the Yoruba people; it may create even sharper consciousness among their leaders of thought that although their region is an epitome of peaceful co-existence between Christians and Muslims, yet it would amount to dangerous complacency to think that this would be the last of such attempts at creating religious disharmony in the region; there may be more and more unscrupulous, evil-minded politicians, from within and outside the SW region, who may continue with this kind of ill-motivated, ungodly attempts to create and accentuate religious tensions not only in Osun state, but throughout the SW region! 2 Likes |

Onlytruth: 1. But the poster in response to whom Ejiné always insults the Hausa-Fulani has come out openly to state that he is NOT a Hausa-Fulani, and he is NOT even a Northerner, but a Lagos state indigene and a member of one of the native ethnic groups of Lagos. 2. Even if he happens to be a Northerner but NOT a Hausa-Fulani (say he is a Nupe, Gwari, Tiv, Jukun, Kanuri or Berom), NO ENLIGHTENED AND FAIR-MINDED person should be insulting the HAUSA-FULANI as a response to a real or perceive ethnic insult from any of these distinct ethnic groups. 3. Even if, for the sake of argument, we are to accept your assertion that the ethnic divisions in the South are 'loud and clear' while those of the North are "nuanced if voiced at all" this STILL does NOT in any way justify what Ejiné seems to be fond of doing; namely, insulting the Hausa-Fulani in response to a comment from a member of a non-Hausa-Fulani ethnic group. 4. If any person is perceived to have insulted the Igbo people, and that person has CATEGORICALLY stated that he/she is NOT a Hausa-Fulani; no matter how 'nuanced' the difference is between the tribe of that person and the Hausa-Fulani tribe, there should be NO MORAL OR LOGICAL BASIS for any Igbo person to target the Hausa-Fulani ethnic group in 'retaliation' for that perceived insult against the Igbo. 5. I assume the Efik/Ibibio group is as close to the Igbos (a 'nuanced division') as the Tivs, Jukun or Kanuri can ever be to the Hausa-Fulanis; yet I can NOT imagine any sensible, rational, enlightened and fair-minded person heaping venomous ethnic insults against the IGBOS in response to a poster who had clearly stated that he is an IBIBIO, and not Igbo! 1 Like |

Desola: as a response to Ejiné: The worst part about the section in bold is that all these venomous ethnic insults against the Hausa-Fulanis by the poster you were replying (Ejiné) was in spite of the fact that the poster he was in turn responding to (Alj Harem) has stated in an ambiguous way that he is NOT a Hausa-Fulani, and in spite of the fact that I had specifically pointed this fact to him myself in a different thread long ago! To be honest, what I find inexplicable in his (Ejiné's) constant ethnic insults against my people is that he almost always lashes at the Hausa-Fulani as a response to Alj Harem's posting, even though the later, as I have said, has come out openly to state his non-Hausa-Fulani ethnic background. I am wondering how he (Ejiné) would feel if an ethnic bigot were to be heaping so much ethnic insults on his Igbo people as a response to postings from, say, Jason123, even after the latter has come out clearly to say that he is not Igbo. |

Dede1: in reply to shymmex I agree with you on the part in bold; this poster (shymmex) seems to be confused as to the image he would want to create for himself under this moniker; whether he wants a Gwawe's/Jarus'/Sam Ikenna's kind of image (truly detribalized and therefore well respected across the NL 'ethnic divide') or that of a typical NL ethnic bigot who enjoys fanning the fire of the 'ethnic warfare'. The earlier this poster makes up his mind and pitches his tent either way (i.e. with the bigots or with the truly detribalized camp) the better for him. Most people would detest HYPOCRISY more strongly than they would detest ethnic bigotry! |

Beaf: Thanks for the link. So from the point of view of FAIRNESS, which was one of the two issues I raised in my earlier post, I can say you have done very well; you posted ALL the pictures that are there on the Osun state government's website and, more importantly, you asked for MORE pictures, in case there are any, apparently to allow you to have better grounds upon which you would want to base your comments. But from A PURELY LOGICAL point of view, we still need to know whether these few pictures are JUST A PART of the whole of the road rehabilitation and construction initiative of the Osun state government or they represent THE ENTIRE road projects by the government. Until we can somehow find a way of knowing this, in a verifiable manner, we cannot LOGICALLY draw a safe conclusion as to the quality, extent and scale of the road rehabilitation and construction projects so far embarked upon or completed by the Aregbesola government. |

alj harem: But we should not fall for the fallacy of mistaking A PART of something for the WHOLE of that thing; unless someone somewhere can somehow prove that what we see in these few pictures represent the WHOLE of the road construction efforts of the Osun State Government, it is NEITHER LOGICAL NOR FAIR for anyone to ridicule the WHOLE of the road construction and rehabilitation efforts of the state government on the basis of this scanty pictorial evidence. Yes, the pictures might depict a small-scale rural road rehabilitation initiative that might appear shoddy and shabby, but what if that is just a tiny part of the whole picture? What if there are far larger scale, better executed and more completed road projects in the state that we have not yet seen? So IMHO we should wait for more pictures 'from the other side' before we can judge whether those who praise Aregbesola as a working governor are right or wrong, and whether his road construction and rehabilitation efforts deserve a praise or ridicule. |
