Diiet:
Mynd should do something pls.



Idiots typing afonja all over the place as if worse crimes are not happening in their region.

There are people in this country who don't mind blowing themselves to pieces.

There is another tribe that is verry popular for drug smugling,
robbery,
kidnapping,
cannibalism and some other evil crimes.

Ritualists are being caught frequently in SW because yorubas don't condone evil like some people.
When a yoruba sees his/her neighbour commiting crime, he/she would alert the police immediately, unlike some people who would cover it up in the name of brotherhood.

Ritualism is one of the satanic acts common to all tribes in this country.
Igbos are doing it.

Hausas are doing it.

Edos are doing it and also few

yorubas.
Crime knows no tribe.

Please hold it there!

Rituals is not common to all tribes in Nigeria!

How many times have you heard of any ritual cases from middlebelt states?

Yorubas are naturally fetish than other Nigerians and that is why 90% of ritual cases take place in their region among their people.

We hear of human abbatoirs in the SouthWest that have been operating for a long time before being busted. You can imagine. What have the natives of that place been doing all these years while that human abbatoir thrived there?

In my state Plateau for instance. Things like rituals are completely unheard of. Where will this human slaughter take place and how? No community in my state will ever allow that madness taKe place on their soil, not for a day.
Our people are not obsessed with fetishism or money let alone blood money.

LordVarys:
Exactly PDP is actually leading in those 5 LGAs declared inconclusive. If that result holds, that's 10 LGAs for the PDP. These are states Buhari normally routs totally but if PDP can reduce his margins here as this results show they can. 2019 would be very interesting

Southern Kaduna people are naturally Anti-APC. APC nor Buhari nor anything that represents Hausa fulani islamic interests can ever win in Southern Kaduna.

EMMAACHILE:
Jos infrastructurally cannot be compared to Abuja. Jos is more like bauchi.

Of course you cannot compare Jos to Abuja but it is unfair to compare Jos with Bauchi.
Bauchi can be compared with Jalingo, Makurdi, Lokoja, Yola.

EponOjuku:
See who's asking.
Someone who has no idea of his ancestry, has no explanation of his creation or existence, has no achievements today and no hope for the future.

Yorubas built the Oyo empire, Binis built the Benin Kingdom, Hausas built the Kanem-Borno empire. Mention a single civilisation built by your fathers.

Just for the records, the Hausas did not build the kanem-borno empire. It was built by the Kanuris and Kanembus.
The Hausas built the Hausa city states/Hausa kingdoms before the fulanis built the caliphate.

bigpicture001:
..30years?.. not tru jare

What do you mean not true? Lagos was Nigeria's capital from 1914 to 1992. .... That's 76 years!

wristbangle:
Well for me, here is my analysis

Abuja

Serene structure
Good road network
Less traffic
High cost of accommodation
High feeding cost
Quite low employment rate except political & federal government jobs
Moderate power supply
Quite low social life

Lagos
Rough structure except Island areas
Poor road network on mainland areas but good network on the island
Jam traffic congestion
Cost of accommodation depends on area
Moderate feeding cost
High employment rate
Moderate power supply
24/7 fun place

Left to me, if I have a job with N200,000 per month, I would prefer Lagos. Taking same job at that amount in Abuja would not make one meet up daily expenses.

Wait oo. Who told you guys all these lies about cost of feeding being higher in Abuja?

Abuja is situated directly in the foodbelt of Nigeria where a lot of farming activities go on. Food is more expensive in Lagos due to long distance transportation of these farm products from the north!

NwaAmaikpe:



God bless you OP for this honest writeup.
I tell anyone who cares to hear.
If you are broke,
If you are jobless,

Get a rich married sugarmommy.
But never attempt yahoo-yahoo.

God hates fraudsters.

Are you really sure that God hates Fraudsters and prefer fornicators and adulterers?

The Americans and western world who are very progressive whom we all celebrate today, don't you knoe that they are the biggest fraudsters of all time?
They defrauded and looted entire continents and are still doing so till date. Has that made God to destroy them or stop them from progressing?

I used to have your kind of mentality in the past until I really sat down to think and see that almost every nation in the past that have succeeded above others have done it fraudulently. Even a lot of our men of God today are also involved in fraud one way or the other.

I do not support Yahoo boys, neither do I condemn them. I am only against Yahoo plus boys (those who use diabolical means).

These stupid white people need to pay for all their crimes and exploitation against Africans.

Millz404:
BET award for blacks

If whites make an award for just whites, nobody will hear word untop racism racism

This is because the blacks are a marginalized minority.

PassingShot:
Yet, they say we are not fighting corruption.

Some say the fight is one-sided, not that those being prosecuted are not corrupt o.

I ask: if it's correct that PDP ruled for 16 years, does it not make sense that 99% of the looters are their members?

Yeye wailing haters supporting their oppressors.

Did the APC members fall from the sky? A lot of them decamped from PDP.

laffwitmi:
Another fulani muslim!!

Thank you God

Dankwambo is not a fulani man

TayserMahiri:
Nuh dude just stop the bad manners. It makes some people sick.

Besides are you now tired of comparing Nairobi's BRT lanes painted with 'children crayons & water colors' with the advanced BRT system of Lagos state?

Come on, Nairobi can do better, don't tell us that you have given up already

TayserMahiri:
Nuh dude just stop the bad manners. It makes some people sick.

Before I stop. Can you tell Africa why a grown ass Nigga like you so much love 'Blanket and tea parties'?

TayserMahiri:
The passion you put when writing the name tashamaria is just something else. I was thinking by now you'd have found a boyfriend in the middlebelt. Or they'll kill you? I dont fancy your gaish advances. And you're two of you with the other Oba fella. Someone told me Nigerians are only gay online so I kinda get the drift. But you have to go to gay sites. Here its straight business.

Says a 'Blanket, tea & biscuit festival' loving Nigga!

With things like this, some educated fools from the South/Middlebelt Nigeria still think there is hope for one progressive Nigeria with these Hausa-fulani retrogressive people..

A people who prefer to register their children for PVCs and Almajiri than for Primary or Secondary education.

We can never have a progressive country with these people and their mentality.

goaldynman:
You are the most stupid ediot and hypocrite I have ever seen in nairaland! You took out time to list the number of people who died in Palestine; but boko haram and Fulani herdsmen have killed thousands of people in Nigeria and you have never listed their names!

You are not different from those Aboki that killed Nigerians and destroyed properties worth millions of naira just because a danish man drew a cartoon of Mohammed!!

Don't mind that animal in human skin called neolboy. It's a pity that we share the same country with retrogressive fools like him.

Imagine him listing the names of Arabs for us here. What business do we have with names of Arabs when our own people in Nigeria here are dying by their hundreds daily due to Boko haram and fulani terrorists?

Seriously, this guy make me dey para.

neolboy or whatever you call yourself. Don't try that nonsense next time. Mehn, I wish the internet has a physical contact button or something. Some peoples face need physical resetting to function properly. Nonsense..

Yusman316:
Nice write up but hate to burst ur bubble. There was peaceful coexistence between the three religions even when Jerusalem was under Islamic control. There trouble started when the state of Israel was created. The whole situation there is political and not religious. For ur info there re all three faiths on both sides of the divide

There was peace as long as muslims were ruling right? Now that muslims are not ruling no peace. This means that only muslims are fit to rule. There can never be peace when they are not in charge.

Thank God they have met their match in Israel. They either accept non muslim rule, they park out or they die! They must choose one. Idiots!

obaaderemi:
Only in Kenya will brt lanes be painted on the ground.

Hahahaha, TashaMaria, so Kenya does not have enough money to build demarcations for their BRT lanes? They have to use 'children water colors' to indicate their BRT lanes.

Hati13:
It’s funny that your president said that Boko is defeated. It seems political and like you said Boko won’t end or will take many years to end.

Had there been any attack by Boko in where you live considering that middle belt is near to where Boko Haram main base?

Yes Boko haram will take a long time to end. Even if it ends, another fundamentalist group may re-emerge which will be highly politicized.

Yes, there have been many attacks by Boko haram in the middlebelt, in my home state. But it has been a long time now. 95% of Boko haram attacks take place in the core-north.

Hati13:
Yes majority Tigray don’t have higher standard of living than other Ethiopians.

The government of Nigeria is responsible for the poverty of Hausa-Fulani, but can it be reasonable for lack of education among those 2 ppl? I ask because I read that majority of the 2 ppl are extreme Islamist and hate modern education.

You are right. Hausa fulanis are mostly religious extremists.
They already had a very strong islamic culture and Arabic educational system before the British colonial masters arrived here. So, their culture is quite anti-western and they found it difficult to abandon their preference for their Arabic education.

However, the elite Hausa fulanis are very very well educated and they maintain the wealth and high educational status among their families.

The Hausa fulanis have a very strong class structure whereby one only marries or relate with people of their socio-economic status through arranged marriages.
So, in their society, the rich only become richer while the poor become poorer.

maestro2000:
When are you going to call out your ward councillor, your LGA chairman, your state HOA honourable, the commissioners in your state, the deputy governor and governor, your MHR Rep, your senator? ... Yes the government is making things harder by the day, yet there are thousands succeeding in this harsh economy. Its time to gather your wits, think about something that wikk generate funds for you without government input. atleast the government try for you small by paying a peanut of your overall tuition fee.

Stop laying the blames at the stairs of the federal government. start from the root problem which are your immediate reps ( charity they say begins at home).

In a country like Nigeria where nothing works, what change do you think calling out all these politicians would effect? Don't you see people protesting everyday forr unpaid salaries, pensions, bad roads, strikes. What else do you want them to do to show their grievances? Take up arms?

More people are becoming wretched and failing by the day compared to the few who are managing to succeed through the right means in Nigeria.

If there is mass failure in a course in school, does common sense not tell the authorities that something was wrong somewhere and they look deeply into the issue to see how they can either upgrade the results or solve the issue?
In a place where far more people are failing than those succeeding, you have to check the leadership and the system and not the people. Common sense should let us know that.

userplainly:
Jealousy will not let Nigerians see their neighbor live better than them! ...... take out Yahoo n tell me what else do we have? simi is a musician who made money because Yahoo boys r investing in the music industry!... wen there were no investment n sponsorship in the industry how many musicians ever become millionaires? even ur song sell all over Africa you will still be in poverty!.......

No, the looting political class also gift these musicians from the looted money and sponsor their shows. So, many of them are trying to be in the good book of the politicians, so that they can continue having access to looted money.

maestro2000:
Maybe and maybe not but you're practically supporting fraud with the above quoted submission. Its time to let go of the blame game ( politicians has been looting this country and other countries dry from time immemorial, but youths in other countries are thriving without complaining abt their polithiefcians).

Can you mention any country that is as corrupt as Nigeria yet the youths are really succeeding? Do you know how many families that yahoo money has brought out of poverty and given up in Nigeria?

Why do you see so many people from 3rd world corrupt countries leaving their countries in large numbers?

rotadeco27:
U are so right on point concerning the post , the day I determined to study medicine was when I had a severe asthmatic attack -: status asthmaticus , I knew I was dying and mum and dad were obviously helpless. Thank God for a doctor beside my house that God used that day , he administered some injections and withing minutes ,it was like a rope was taken off my neck .
I promised myself to know the mystery behinds this.
Thank God I'm a doctors today and on training to become a neurosurgeon , but like earlier stated, I might not be able to replicate the same help for a long time as the health sector in Nigeria is so frustrating. is the low pay we should talk about or hostile working environment!?
I'm one of those that are about to fly , I can't be working and jerking like "nothing else dey" and some people in the name of johesu will be sponsoring bills to be at per. it is better one goes to places where things work .
My advice to all my young colleagues out there , let go out to make money and come back years after to establish group private standard practices: our nurses will stay on the ward to give patients quality nursing cares they deserve, we need dispersers and not pharmacist ( the latter should be on the research field finding formulas to solve medical problem and allow pharmacist technicians to to their work), medical laboratory scientist will process samples in the lab because that is what I'm paying u for., ward assist will stay withing his or her limit .
A reasonable person will leave his or her comfort zone when the comfort zone is no more comfortable!

I really love your spirit for determination to go make the money abroad and come back to establish in your home country. Many would never want to come back to Nigeria.
I usually tell those going abroad. Make the money there and come try establish yourself here at home.

davidnazee:
All Edo or Edoid groups in Eastern Yoruba are descendants of Edo people. They are descended from warriors, administrators, traders who settled those areas after driving out the Yorubas in those places. It’s all in history, go research yourselves and stop believing lies from these Yorubas on here.

Yes I know this very well. Just that I think we all west africans have ethnically absorbed each other at one point in time or the other.

There are Yorubanized people of Edo descent, yorubanized Nupes, yorubas of hausa-fulani descent.

There are Edos of yoruba descent (Usen), Edos of Igbo descent (Igbanke and environs), Edos of Nupe descent in esan/Etsako areas..

There are Igbos of Yoruba descent (Olukumi), Igbos of Edo descent, Igbos of Igala descent, Igbos of Ibibio descent.

Many more. As long as we have been neighbors and have been interrelating for centuries. We have mixed with each other a lot.

TayserMahiri:
The song is KEnyan. Nigerians were included because they need the good message most.

A song that was produced by a Nigerian and shot in Nigeria? Did those girls in the video look like Lupitia to you?

Daejoyoung:
lt was shot in Lagos.

You can imagine? And that lady called TashaMaria aka TayserMahiri is coming here to claim the entire song as Kenyan. Shame!

9jakool:
1. Yes, Akoko is an umbrella term. The people are lumped up as a subgroup of Yoruba, but in reality they are a diverse group of people. This is why you often hear Yoruba people say that every town in Akoko speak their own dialect, many of which are often difficult to understand by outsiders or even other towns within Akoko. Because of the proximity, the Akoko people have created a unique cultural blend. Intermarriage is common and the cuisine, kingship, religion, customs, and even languages have blended together through borrowing and exchange of ideas and people. All the towns in Akoko have linked history with stories of trade and migration. An important thing to note is that the Akoko umbrela identity and affiliation with Yoruba existed long before colonial rule and before Yoruba people even started calling themselves Yoruba.

2. Well Akoko settlements are unique in that they are separated by mountains. The rocky terrain provides some degree of cultural isolation. To answer your question, you have to understand the linguistic nature of Akoko settlements. Akoko towns are very old (I can't stress how ancient they are). The old languages of Akoko are very archaic and conservative, changing very little and they offer a glimpse of what proto-Yoruba was like. For example, the Yoruba spoken 1000 years ago would be closer to the Akpe, Ahan, Ayere and Akokoid lagauages. Many elements lost in Yoruba language overtime are preserved in the Akoko languages. In towns with multiple languages, each community have oral tradition pointing to ancient immigration. So in essence, the non-Yoruboid and non-Edoid speaking of Akoko have been there since the very beginning. They are aboriginal to the land, just like the Yoruba and Edoid speakers. All of the Akoko languages including the Yoruboid dialects share a common ancestor, but a degree of isolation have created the differences we see today.

3. Yes, they do. Do they speak Oyo dialect? Well, currently yes, but historically no. Akoko people have always used Yoruba as a lingua franca, but not the Oyo dialect. Prior to the introduction of Oyo dialect as the standard, the people of Akoko use a general Akoko Yoruba dialect (a type of SE Yoruba) as a lingua franca with different variations from town to town to ease trade and communications. This is still true today, but over the past 150 years, the Oyo dialect has gained much influence and popularity.

4. This leads to the next question. Yes, these languages could face extinction. The most critical languages are Ukaan and Ahan languages. But the extinction is true for all Akoko lects including the indigenous Yoruboid ones as well, that are rapidly declining in favor of Oyo variety.

Ok, thanks for the enlightenment.

Danielnino00:
They get cold feet anytime Dangote name ia mentioned...

Could it be because there are very few Kenyan billionaires (millionaires in reality ) ? ..I mean black Kenyans ..not those Indians oo..

Seriously, the name 'Dangote' is worse than a nightmare to Kenyans. They shiver whenever they hear the name.

Dangote is not even richer than all the Billionaires in Nigeria put together. He is not so invincible in Nigeria. Yet Kenyans cannot spend a day without talking about him.

fanficgirl:
That song was created by a Nigerian producer, with Nigerian women though . And wouldn't bleachers in general want to be more white? Sauty Soul is so good though.

Been a long while dearie. How have you been?

Where was this song shot by the way? And how are you sure that the ladies in the song were Nigerian ladies?

Of course they actually look more west African.

gallivant:
My point was about Islam and slavery. I was drawing parallels between Dangote and Mansa Musa dumb@$$! Whats yours?

Very pointless hence you resort to insults. How do they relate? Just listen to yourself.

You pointed out to Mali's illiteracy. How does that relate to Mansa and Dangote?

Ikechukwu12:
Ooooh they in deep tears that i denounced their hellhole. . To this pigs denouncing their shithole means denouncing my race, continent and turns identity. To this miserable goats their niggeria equals African, black, igbo and biafra. What an insult to Africans and black people everywhere. What a joke. I never knew my denouncement of their shithole will create this much crying. Well damn, now i understand why they were wailing to high heavens about nnamdi kanu and Ipob. Typical Negro crab in the box mentality. Let me just add more to your misery so you can cry some more, I even burned your passport, your money and anything that associates to your shithole. I contribute to the development of biafra and would continue doing so until the day i die. As for your shithoke, it can rot to hell like it's currently doing in an alarm rate. I don't give a Bleep and will NEVER in a billion years give a Bleep.

Love that my denouncing of your shithole is paining you lots so damn much. I fucking love it. You should go cry your misery to your president that's even ashamed of you lots hence he continously insult una and drag una to the mud once he leaves your vicinity.

How has your denying Nigeria changed anything in Nigeria? You remain just one small insignificant creature.
We are only exposing your foolery to you. Continue in your foolery and your children will be the ones to remind you about it tomorrow.

gallivant:
Mali of today still has gold but is broke and the inhabitants highly illiterate. What's your point?

The Mongols conquered almost half of the world, today where are they now?
Weren't the Kingdoms of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) and that of Nubia (Sudan) extremely powerful and rich kingdoms in the past? Today, where are they?
What about Egyptians?

How powerful is Turkey, Iran and Greece today compared to when they were world powers who controlled the entire world?

So, what exactly is your own point?
