[s]Very senseless post.
Men have done same and more to women who sacrificed for them.
Quote me when you have something sensible to say, not gender blaming.[/s]

You are just ranting because African men worship una pussy and behave like dunces, when you are dying somebody step in to rescue you from shackles of death then you turn against the person, helping some girls like you is just like helping a snake to escape from the trap that will choke it to death.

Do Eastern states have oil? My State, Edo, has oil.

Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia have no oil just like Oyo, Kano, etc. But Oyo has more population than Enugu and Ebonyi put together. Oyo has more land area than all 5 Eastern states. We can also talk about Kano population and land area.

South East is the one marginalizing the rest of the country.

Why fulani are killing and burning down your farmland in Edo if your actually you are from Edo and not an impostor, you carry hatred for Igbo people for head they move around like unburied dead soul.

elampiro:
Looking at the population of South East States other states, there should be more states in the South West and North.

The South East is marginalizing the rest of the country in terms of land area, population visavis number of states.

Tribal bigot, after depending on eastern Nigeria oil money to survive, you want more state for your parasitic regions.

uyplus:
The North can't determine the presidency again! When Buhari was in CPC, he failed woefully because he thought that only the Northern region could land him the job. Not until he aligned with Tinubu to win over the southwest, and that made him win the election. Now, there are more registered voters in the southern part of Nigeria than ever before. There are no more freshly minted voters in the North, because prior to now, 90% of Northerners were duly registered! PMB or any Northerner won't win the 2019 presidential election! Besides, PMB can't win in states like Taraba, Plateau, Adamawa, Benue, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Gombe

Buhari will surprise you in 2019, you think say na voting or abi na GEJ, after 2019 election una eyes go clear by fire by force but it will be too late.

jrusky:
Hahahahaha Northern people I no tell una? Now see una lives.

When tribe or group of people exist only to just be president either good or bad this is what they get. Presidency is curse to the North either you people choose it or being chosen for you makes no different, you have 2nd ruling Nigeria for ages can you point to any serious development in your region? Hell No.

They enjoy the Niger Delta oil money and that is enough

The girl did what I would do.
I owe no one marriage for a kidney.

That seems like subtly blackmailing me to accept the proposal.
I won't marry him for that.
I will appreciate the gesture...most definitely.

I pity men who do extra ordinary things for a woman that is not their wife, many men na mumu dey worry them.
This your word is what we are talking about, dont give what you cannot let go to a girlfriend, regret await any man that does that.

Those who think that they can send Buhari back to Daura through voting him out just dey make me laugh , maybe is just because they didnt grow up in the core north. The Alamajiris that will vote that day just need a friday summon and a plate of well cooked rice and meat and the did is done, if anyone stand on their way, you will see your head rolling on the ground. The millitary and police forces controlled by the Fulanis will decend on the south and perfect the rigging for their master and kill any resisting infidels.

Omololu2121:
Oyo state is 7 times larger than alambara

And lagos the smallest of all is accomodating close to 20m people and Oyo have vast land that is wasteful, they cannot even farm it to feed theirselves, owing workers salary here and there, strike and hunger everywhere, nobi by size.

Anambra state is far more economically viable and sustainable than Oyo state with it vast land mass.

Stop lumping the North together and segregating the south, Geopolitical zone is not in the constitution, SE is carve out for only Igbo speaking tribe and there are indiginous Igbos in Rivers, Delta, Edo and Benue.
The North, South South and West have several tribes and it is not carve out for a particular tribe like SE.

For me, I help people without looking for a pay back,when a woman is not your wife, any help you render to her, you shoud be able to take it if the woman throw it at your face. Dont go extra miles if you cannot bear it when it goes wrong.

paulibling:
Ukamaka means communication is good. Wait for Mazi Onwù to translate so that you go learn naa.

It can mean that also, but most parents that gave their daughter Ukamaka, the child was born on Sunday.
Uka- means church.
Uka also mean communication, that is talking with someone.

Worldbest281:
please what's the meaning of Amaka,I be Yoruba but I love d name maybe because that's my ex name

Chiamaka- God is beautiful
Ukamaka- Church is beautiful
Nwamaka- Children is good or having children is nice

Twrecks:
What does Chidozie mean?

God settles problem

Since you disagreed, maybe i should ask you, How did the fulanis spread Islam to all yoruba speaking region?. pls educate me

Actually Yoruba muslims should show us where this mosque was located in Osun 500yrs ago and how they have been practicing Islam with facts, from history books in Nigeria we where told that Usman dan fodio came to Nigeria and spread Islam from the North to northern fringe of yorubaland, that is why Islam is found more at the northern part of yorubaland and it decreases downward to Ondo and very small in Edo where it terminate. Christianity increases from Eastern Nigeria down to Yorubaland also and the north.

Fulani people also boast about how they introduce Islam to Yorubas openly without any objection in any manner both written or verbally from yoruba muslims, one notable Fulani man even said it openly in an interview media chat that when they came to Ilorin that they kill the locals and force them to abandon their Idol worshiping and embrace Islam, it is all there in national newspapers.

ballerin:
You see why you need to stop arguing.
I advice you should go learn to acquire more knowledge.

If actually that Yorubas are practicing Islam before the fulanis came,then why is it that the number of yorubas practicing Islam decreases from Ilorin to Ondo, North to South trend

Y0ruba:
No! You did not get Islam from Fulani. Islam had been in Yoruba land before Fulanis or Hausa began to take it serious - see Iwo town in Osun state for example. A good number of Yoruba people in Oyo, Iseyin, Ibadan, Osogbo, Ijaiye& so on were mislims before Afonja invited Alimi. In fact, some of the Ibadan army who fought against Fulani army and defeated them in Osogbo & Odo-Otin were muslims; for example Aare Latosa the head of Ibadan army was a muslim.

Contrary to general belief, Fulani, Hausa & Kanuri were slaves across Yoruba land who served domestic purposes & used during wars. They only used Ilorin as a haven when Afonja declared it a safe zone for them which made all of them flock there. When they invaded Oyo they killed people both Yoruba that were muslim & those who were not.

They did not give you Islam o! This is the mistake most Yoruba people make. We think Fulani brought Islam & introduced it to us, no they did not.

The Hausa which our fathers called Gambari, the Kanuri which pur fathers called Kanike & Fulani were used as our slaves when we were practising Islam way before Alimi & Afonja.

Pleas note this.

This one na your own yoruba version abi, history book did not capture this, Usman dan fodio spread Islam in Nigeria. Fulani brought Islam into western Nigeria, it is on record, it is even said that the fulani scholars gave the name yoruba to yorubas.

If actually that Yorubas are practicing Islam before the fulanis came,then why is it that the number of yorubas practicing Islam decreases from Ilorin to Ondo, North to South trend

ballerin:
Are you aware of what politcians say with their mouth? if you understood ilorin politics as it relates Northern regional government pre independence, you would hardly be surprised.
By the way, SW aren't insinuating Amaechi is not igbo rather ikwerres are denying their being Igbo.

Politics or not, how can a man deny his tribe and ancestral heritage publicly because of politics, it tells a lot on the person.
Amaechi is Ikwerre and he is saying that he is Igbo, those at the forefront of pushing that Ikwerres are denying their being Igbo are people of SW through media propaganda, tell me one Ikwerre man that have said publicly that he is not Igbo, don't quote faceless social media where many yorubas disguise as Ikwerres. Even in Rivers state official website it was stated that Ikwerres are Igboid group.

Quality20:
everybody should strive for d good of himself and family and forget about tribal wars. tribal wars have no endings and could only get complicated leaving in its trail destructions, loss of lives and gross underdevelopment/ regrets.
And at d end of it all oyimbo ppl will call u animals after u must have used their AK47s to destroy and help reduce ur populations to their amazement ,joy and comfort

If you don't defend your ancestral territorial land, how do you intend to strive for the good of yourself and your family

deji17:
Those who did, were only quoting Ikweres, Aniomas etc . Some of whom refused to be identified as eboes. Some even seized your properties in PH. Ikweres seized your properties in PH. I guess they dont like you or dont want to be identfied with you.

After the war there was chaos, Ikwerre is just seizing properties of non Ikwerres not necessary Igbos, but other Nigerians turn it into political opportunity to cause permanent enemity and division within the Eastern Nigeria. If a yoruba man own land or property in Ikwerre area that time he will also lose his properties or investment.It is just a chaos and grab i grab that normally occur where there is breakdown of law.

ballerin:
Nonsense!
A Fulani man from which clan?
why did none of his children has no fulani name?
Why was he refused by the fulanis to be a member of the Arewa Consultative forum?
why was he rejected to contest as a presidential aspirant in favour of Sheu Shagari?
Think! Use your brain.....
political expediency.

BUT the man SARAKI said that he is not Yoruba but Fulani with his mouth, he even mention the part of fulani land that his father migrated from in that interwiew, is just like Chibuike Amaechi the transport minister saying that he is Igbo but people of SW are telling him that he is not Igbo.

ballerin:
Ilorin is saraki's estate. He is Yoruba but pledges allegiance to Fulani Muslims for cheap political gains.

No, Saraki is not yoruba, he said in an interview that his father is a fulani that he is a fulani man, that they bear yoruba middle name because of their grandmother who is a yoruba woman, google it.

Why is it that Yoruba and Igbo are topping brainy creative works in Nigeria and Hausa-fulani is ruling over them for donkey years

ezenwajosh:
And Igbo doesn't?

A man from anambra can not understand indiginous language of an ebonyi man but he can hear traits of igbos in his language same applies to itsekiri, ibibio as u call it.... Have same traits of Igbo when they speak their indigenous language

What of traits of Igbo in Yoruba language or vice versa, what will you call it.
Igbo doesn't because it is the influencer language as a result of higher population and net migration, that is why fulani conquer hausa but assimilated hausa language because they are more bigger in number .

ezenwajosh:
And their native names happen because of language assimilation, traditional title happen because of language assimilation

Language assimilation doesn't affect something indigenous... Like igbos call pap akamu and akamu is not an Igbo language it's Yoruba or so but when it comes to indigenous terms, traditions and surnames its not language assimilation

Igala have a distinct language but some speak Igbo, it is only Igalas that is living near the Igbos territories that is bearing Igbo names and other cultures.

Eastern Nigeria have many diverse languages, you cant say Isoko, Itkekiri, Urobo,Ibibio,Efik,Ijaw, Okirika are all offshoot of Igbos. No, they are languages on their own. The north also have the highest number of diverse languages distinct on their own.

ezenwajosh:
See explanation

Why do someone from Niger delta has onicha ugbo as a village name and ebonyi has the same name as a local government?

Why do u have attah of igala.... In obosi as attah of obosi in anambra state

Anioma and Ika in Delta, Igbanke in Edo, Ikwerre in Rivers are Igbos. Igala answer Igbo names as result of language assimilation, Niger Delta is not exclusive of Igbos, there are Igbos in Niger Delta. Onicha Ugbo people and Ebonyi people are all Igbos, they can bear similar names.

Why is Yoruba call rock Okuta and Igbo call it Okwute also yoruba call goat Ewure and Igbo call it Ewu and so many other words, does that mean that they are the same people with common origin.

ezenwajosh:
Why do South South and Niger delta have the same four market days as Igbo.... Do yorubas or hausas has four market days EKE ORIE AFOR NKWOR

There is nothing like South South and Niger delta as a separate name, the are the same. Niger delta is just the area that river Niger tributaries covers just like bird leg, it include Imo, Abia, Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, Ondo, and Rivers state. On the other hand South South is a recent political creation by Obasanjo in year 2001 and it is not in Nigeria constitution.

Nigeria is have 4 regions

North
East
West
Mid West ( It include the present day Edo and parts of Delta state).

The Eastern region have 4 market days as result of assimilation of Igbo culture, that does not mean that they are of the same origin. Hausa language dominated the north while yoruba dominated the west, in the west they have Iladje, Awori, Egun etc that have their own languages.

Nigeria is divided into,

North (19 states and Abuja)

East ( 10 state)

West ( 7 State)

Any other thing na story.

ezenwajosh:
It's not true....pls why is Governor of delta state ifeanyi okowa...

Has there been a governor or serving government official with YORUBA name in delta state?

A YORUBA man with ayo can reside in delta state or be married to deltan and give their child a YORUBA name

So tell me a delta state man or woman with a YORUBA name as a native name or surname

Istekiris in delta state answer Yoruba names but they are not Yorubas. Igbos are indiginous to Delta state but yoruba are not, Yoruba are found from Ondo sate downwards to Illorin.

deji17:
Busy body. What is the status of the eboes in Benue state? Some of them have been complaining of slavery, but you seems not to care about their plight.

hmm, so Igbos is longer indigenous to only SE , a lot fact is coming out.

Ilorin and some parts of Yorubaland is lost to Fulanis forever, fulani never let go, attempt to recover it is a journey to nowhere.

Hausa did not lose their land to fulanis, they lost control over their land and fulani surrendered their language to Hausas and adopted hausa as general language in the core north.

Niger Delta oil money talking
