Like seriously, what criteria did they use?
Just 4 SW states minus Lagos and Ekiti made up more than half, 192 students.

13volts: Add Boko Haram terrorism to their popular trade of thuggery and cultism. The FG must watch Okene. For those that school in ABU Zaria & BUK Kano will tell how the Ebiras & to a lesser extend Igalas practically spearheaded the fight against indecent dress code, clubbing & male - female access to each other campuses.

I know Middlebelters can be really vicious.
If they actually taught Hausas fanaticism, why did you follow their evil ways?

christemmbassey: UJUKWU RENAMED CALABAR NEW ONITSHA, AM GLAD BIAFRA FAILED. AS FOR BAKASSI REPUBLIC, GOD WILL FIGHT 4 US.

I swear, na illiteracy and silliness dey worry you people. Calabar was renamed God have mercy, you goons seem to buy every crap and even lie to yourselves. If an outsider tells you an Igbo bought your father's compound, you will believe even if there's no record of it. You people are just unbelievable and indescribable. That's why Nigeria promised you relocation and you sheepishly left you homeland, Bakassi.

Anyway, good luck and remember to pray harder for God to fight for you.

I'm waiting on the Ijaw people to declare autonomy/independence. I think it's long overdue.

They shouldn't go into war with Cameroun if they are not fully ready.
Wish them luck.

Well, the man is nice and so are some other men.
I know a family whose last child was not that of the husband. The husband knew about it but never raised dust. The kid was loved by all and was never treated differently.

wesley80: Mba, Oshimili bu afa Niger siso. Onweni ke nde Aboh na kpor "Oshimili Ashaka"(Ase Creek) eseh shi obuni ibu diko "Oshimili Niger".
Osoni ele ona sah anyi akpo aya "mmili" (it is called "mmili" depending on its size and features) Onweni ke bu "ngbo"(man made burrow pits) nwe "Utu" (more less like a creek) nwe "oseh" (stream) nwe "iju" (flood induced) and a few more I'm too hippy to recall.

ChinenyeN: Now, let's revisit the statement about cultural similarities between the Igbo and other eastern peoples. The statement needs some reworking, because technically the cultural similarities are not between "Igbo" and other eastern people, but between specific peoples. We'll use Arochukwu as a case-in-point. The establishment of Arochukwu facilitated the cultural diffusion of the leopard society into other territories. I particularly feel that stating such diffusion as a "cultural similarity between Igbo and other eastern peoples" is a disservice.

It is more valid to say cultural similarities between Igbo and other eastern peoples, else you'll end up creating several threads on the topic. Moreover, Ala, the example he gave covers the whole Igboland. There may be some similarities that may not even involve Arochukwu.

Hahaha, this is a complete Igbo language.

odumchi: Here's a video I found in the Ogba dialect.

Don't go into this argument with ChinenyeN else it will run into 20 pages in 2 days. We've argued this before and the thread is still available.

So which bridge did Obasanjo award a contract for? Where's the money?

...yet Yorubas with their "sophistication" did not see the link between this "born-to-rule" mentality and Boko Haram.
They are being used cheaply to cut GEJ's head off

It's because Nigerians already know that the UK is like hellfire. Who wan relocate from fire to hellfire? No difference if you ask me

If na Canada or the US, then maybe, just maybe...

odumchi: Igbo, m choro iju inyi ajuju. Ngen ka inyi na eku 'anyim' (river) na olu inyi?

Iyi (river/stream), ezu (lake).

abouzaid: Cyber space propaganda. Since i was born, i have been hearing that nigeria electricity generation is increasing and black outs will soon be a thing of the past. The truth is that electricity generation improves during the rainy reason and falls during the dry season. The small improvement noticed now is because the lakes at the hydropower stations contain more water now and once we enter the dry season, we will loose all that extra output. They is no cause for celebration. Besides poorly administrated distribution networks mean that it's not all nigerians that gain from the momentary increase.

You are right but, at least, it peaked to a new height. Maybe next rainy season, it will peak at 5,700MW

osifred: @bolded maybe you are right, but i am yet to see how denouncing being igbo will advance anybody's personal interest (especially the ogbas). they are now neither igbos or binis but ogba not withstanding. pls tell me so i can learn. Apart from the similarity of language which am sure trunkpunsher and i has answered, why do you consider the ogba people as ibo? because as i said earlier i have never heard or known are trace of ogba being igbo.

Neither you nor I knew the ethnic make up of ancient Bini Kingdom. Binis have boundary with the Igbo. Just like Ezechima moved from Bini, so did Akalaka (both are Igbo names).
Okirika and Kalabari that have extended Igbo mixing and influence are not Igbos, then why Ogba? This is because Ogba were never a different people from the Igbos.

Igbos are a group of people with shared language, culture and religion.

Are the British claiming it back?

abdulkayus: c anoda nincompoop, so u dont knw dat isreal and UAE hav sea, u most be livin in anoda world. Let me tell u, no country can sustain wel economically witout sea port. U go school at all

What about Switzerland?

It's a war to lose by the North, MB will not support them 100% anymore, SS will be against them 100%, SE know their stand already, SW still unsure but this will NEVER be like 1967!

If it has to be war, so be it!
Afterall, we've been fighting war in Nigeria since 1950s.
I think the time is right to end this silliness.

A beg, they should buy land like every Igboman does. No handouts please!

Dogs can only stop thieves not armed robbers

Returned $500m to Obasanjo to embezzle?

No one can beat Ileke-Idi when it comes to propaganda.
Imaging taking pictures of a building in 8 dimensions, walahi, you're too much.

Ileke-Idi is a fraud

matrixme: FUTA [Federal University of Technology, Akure] senate building picture is included in this supossed picture of Ekiti State. Please be aware of the deception, @all. Thanks

A beg, let Jonathan go do his job!
Is it IBBs duty to condemn or approve issues facing the country? As far as I know, he is an ordinary citizen like me with no position.

delimit: Ekiti n Ebonyi were created on the same day Oct 1st 1996, lets compare the two pictures shown

With just 3 pictures of Ekiti
