No problem, thanks for the interest

It says "A poor man steals maggi and the police hang him. A rich man steals money and they shake his hand"

Ngwa is the equivalent on oya

the most handsome [/b]
[b]lol you've got it wrong, I've always wanted to be a lawyer and what drives me to it is to give justice lol i feel like punching you you're mocking me right?, I'm not short okay 5'5 is not short

and that's great my uncle is a petroleum engineer , like men the guy makes goooooood money, gets to travel out of the continent now and then, and lots of other stuff, its gonna be great if you study that, anyways they are both good


@pleep why the hell are you shocked, as if we don't have petroleum engineers here

Lol no im not mocking you Ok 5'5's tall if you say so lol
about your uncle, yeah he he must be lucky. the road to a sucessful career isnt easy but after you there it its just cool enjoyment.

pleep:
oh, haha well ive been planning on how to become a millionare since i was three and last yr during the recession I got my lucky break. 

So now Ive got enough money to start exporting and importing electronics to Naija with my uncle, we already have buyers. And eventually we going to start mining solid minerals. like lead, iron etc.
I cant wait! 

so in these circumstances college seems kinda pointless (except for the parties).

you may not be Igbo but in your head your a pure Igbo businessman lol

pleep:
we need people like that in Nigeria also!

No not yoruba.  r u Anaang/ibibio or efik?


worked for bill gates  Anyway your right, it would probably be better to get a degree in business management or something.

Im guessing shes Yoruba or Bini maybe Ijaw since her uncle works with petroleum

How can he pay what he doesn't have?

seedord247:
Isiewu calling someone a goat.


now i know that Yaba left has access to Nairaland

You don't see? You no sabi read wetin I wrote?

The same difference between a human being like yourself and a goat.

Its amazing how the Moderator couldn't take time to wrote "Igbo" instead of "Ibo" when posting it on the front page. Yet we still say Nairaland's elite are free of Tribalism

pleep:
love short girls.

petroleum engineering? haha dayum! Nigeria really needs ppl like that, do u plan on going back?

Lol who doesn't?
And yeah I plan on going back as soon as I'm done.

pleep:
haha, Whoever ends up the richest  .
lol, typical Nigerians if not aerospace engineers, then doctors or lawyers. Me, i'm unconventional,  I'm gunna to start my business this December and hopefully drop out of college if my parents let me.

Don't take it the wrong way but why are you dropping out? If it's personal I understand. And GoodLuck with your business

divinereal:
It is an inhumane and discriminatory aspect of Igbo culture and thus should be abolished. My 2cents

You have no say in Igbo culture. Omenali bu omenali. Your 2 cents aren't needed

I think every guy, after a hard day at work appreciates a nice homecooked meal prepared by his wife. Besides not all women are privileged enough to learn how to cook. However it boils down to the husbands decisions.

AmeboAjela:
It's so narrow minded to say that. So Oprah Winfrey is irresponsible cos she doesn't cook? While it is good for a woman to know how to cook but it shouldn't define us. Nigeria is a part of this world and shouldn't be looked upon as an alien village in Mars. It is okay for a Nigerian guy to ask his girlfriend to give him head, that time it is not a taboo or western thing, but when it comes to cooking she has lost touch with her Africaness abegi! For your info the best Cooks in the world are men. They make the best Chefs. So what's wrong with a Nigerian man being the best cook? If your girlfriend or wife doesn't know how to cook for whatever reason, why don't you ask your sister (who I suppose knows to teach her?) or better still why don't you teach her yourself? Incase you don't know, please know it now. A lot of Nigeria guys cook well and some even better than their women.

Why do you think Oprah is still single?

Boyloaf:
i dnt hav time to argue wit dis ibo bois!!! Now i knw d group of liers and deceivers in nairaland!!! No wonder d seat of power in 9ja keep eludin your pipo!!! Una too dey talk lie!!! Anambra needs help!! PERIOD!!!!!!

You mad ?  

Boyloaf:
i prefer cross rivers there than anambra!!! Guy i say na anambra i dey!!!!! My pipo notin dey here!!!

Anambra has more spread development. Everywhere there are beautiful neat cities, organized road structures and fair development such as street lamp poles, organized sewage drains and etc.
Although Calabar is also very good, it's really the main site development in Cross River State. Most of the state is still thickly forested, mountainous and meandered by questionable roads.

jason123:
In terms of OVERALL development, I'll go with: lagos, Delta, Ogun, Enugu, rivers, anambra, oyo n edo. These are in no particular order. But top 5 will definitely be Lagos, rivers, delta,Ogun n Anambra. My statement is further backed up by Beaf's post.

There isn't much development in Ogun state. In fact there's only sporadic development in parts of Abeokuta and etc. I'd say Lagos, Anambra, Enugu, Delta, Imo

Boyloaf:
my guy i tire for them oh! Nor be dis same anambra wey i for dey do my nysc since sept. 2010?  Which development dey here? God purnish all of una wey dey come nairaland to deceive pipo una hear? I dey nnewi since mornin, no road to pass go my house, onitsha is full of shi.t!!!  abeg make una nor provoke me oh. I neva wish to hav anytin to do wit dis state after nysc. God forbid! Insecurity here is 100%, no local govt chairmen to oversee d activities and development of d L.G.A , peter obi eats and share everytin amongst his cronies. Infrastructure is indecay, i wonder sometimes if they even hav a governor. Na him some idiotic loyalist come here dey mention anambra!!! I swear u guys r high on sometin. My pick is ABUJA, LAGOS, CROSS RIVERS. I nor wan see anambra near first ten oh. Hmmmm

Why are you talking about what you don't know? Who told you Cross-River was developed? Most likely you've not stepped foot in anywhere outside of Calabar If at all you've been there. Cross Rivers Stats is mostly thick forests and mountains. Intact u can see Cross-Rivers from my backyard.

Lagos-Anambra-Enugu-Imo-Rivers-Abia-Plateu-Delta-Ebonyi-Cross River-etc

Natasha,,:
Yeah you should so what's up with you? I want to study law, but sometimes when i think about the years i'll spend in school i just get to shiver  , what about you?that's good,

hey seems like I'm the shortest here 

Lol yeah its a long process. Im sure you'll never want to see a book again when your done. About me, I'm thinking of either Automotive engineering or petroleum engineering, haven't really decided yet.

About being short, don't worry everyone likes short girls

1. That is something you can inquire by yourself. However their numbers are more realistic than any that Ive seen.
2. Chai, you no get sense. How does Ibibio pop in Aligbo being greater than Yorubas and Hausas mean they ate greater than Igbos? Just sit a second and lookbat what you posted.
3. Ngwa subgroup of Igbo which lies mostly in Abia is in excess of 3 million people but you wnt to tell me that Abia was 2.8m as of 2006?
4. See your problem, I'm talking about Igbolanf and you hop to the North. Igbos are the largest non-ondegine population in every part of Nigeria outside Igboland. You can't seem to focus on one thing can you?

^^^
It is only a dialect of Igbo 

But besides an Igbo dialect more intelligible than his is spoken in Agbor. Here's a video of some women of Agbor (Igboland's Westernmost city).

now apart from the millions (4 million) of yoruba and (8 million) hausa in SE

i bet u can do your calculation

What part of census figures for states are not reliable don't you get? Besides this is 2011 not 2006.

Are you delusional? 4 million Yorubas in SE? 8 millin Hausas? You de craze?  The largest non-Igbo group in the SE are Ibibios who number around 50k.

Here is an accurate/modern presentation of the population of Igboland.

Anambra- 8.5 million

Imo State-5.2 million

Abia State-4.3 million

Ebonyi-4.4 million

Enugu-5.6 million

Rivers-5.8 million (4.7 million Igbos)

Delta- 3.8 million (2 million Igbos)

Total-35 million Igbos in Igboland + 7.3 million Igbos in Lagos + a possible 3 million throughout Nigeria = 45 million Igbos in Nigeria. Making Igbos 29 % of Nigeria.

MBG4Real:
Kanu Nwankwo is. Though retired. If you are talking current, then Osaze Odewinge should fill in.

I wish ETO the best of luck in the new club. Let him not have fortune like Fenado Torres of Chealse

Nah, Osaze isn't that popular he's very arrogant. If anyone I'd say Kanu followed by Ahmed Musa

Natasha,,:
lolz are you kidding me, you should be happy oh, take my self for instance I was suppose to be in the university at 15 but  our educational system, jamb post ume blah blah blah, last year my jamb centre was cancelled so i didn't get my result, and i couldn't go for my post ume exam, but thank God this year I saw my result and I'm going to write my post ume next month on the third with God I'll gain my admission  , here sometimes even when people finish early they might noit still get into the uni because of this jamb and post ume , its just too bad and sad. you shouldn't my dear even here there are epople your age who are just in jss 2 so there's nothing to be ashamed of okay 

Thanks 
So what do you plan on studying in the university?

mykhel995:
oh and im 5"10.5'

Nice lol

Osu are quite different from slaves. For example let's say an Igbo army raids a neighbouring village. Their warriors are killed, their men are sold into slavery and their children are taken as slaves but none become osu. The children will be treated well as servants/slaves. They'll be fed, respected by foreigners and might gain power and influence within a community.

An osu is someone who is shunned in the community and estranged for committing a Crime or for some other complicated manner. Osu were lower than slaves in the social ladder. But it's a complicated matter and isn't widespread. It's a complicated topic and shouldn't really be discussed by outsiders.

Eto's the face of Cameroun
Drogbas the face of Ivory Coast
Who's the face of Nigeria?

But nevertheless congrats to Eto'o

Chiemelie (Chee-eh-meh-lee-eh)
Chimamanda (Cheem-ah-maa-nda)
Emenike (eh-meh-nee-keh)
Chike (Chee-eekeh)

Chima (Chee-mah)

Hope that helps and good luck
