Dear All,
In my own view, i think libyan will definitely regret what they did to Gadafi, the following are my reasons
1. Over 60percent of libyans dont work yet the man feed and cloth them with the oil money.
2. Gadafi try all his best to protect the libyan and libyan people from foreign attack, that is why libya is one of the most powerful country in Africa.
3. NATO and other western invasion into Libyan are doing all they are doing for their own interest i.e at the detriment of the libyan. They will destroy and rebuilt the country so that they can have control over their oil money.
If America and NATO are truely fighting for africa and not their personal interest why cant they intervene in civil war in Syria, Tunisia(recently concluded) and egypt(recentrly councluded),  They are more particular about libyan because of the oil money and they have succedded in killing the only man who can stop them from achieving their aims.

The only area i fault gadhafi is that he outght to have surrendered honourably rather than  ending his life in a misrable manner like this.

RIP Gadhafi A true Comrade,

kcjazz:
So? Is it not the Libyans money?

Ayowumie:
Am ashamed of you. Look at the kind of question you are asking. Ok, answer, even with Libyans money, you agreed that he did something, what does Nigerian govt do with Nigerian money?
Let me help you out, they still the money and impoverish the massess.
Can you provide source please. I have googled it but couldnt get most of the points you put here

some day, the lybians will regret this

9ja4eva:
Seconded

He was a dictator but he was way better than all our presidents put together.

I still think they wouldn't have bowed to international pressure to get him out.

Oh well i wish Libya well.

Oludashmi, I agree with you on Andre's statement, but my post was addressed to the topic in general, since some have tried to use land mass to give examples.

ChinenyeN:
Why don't people just state it simply, land mass and population size are not mutually inclusive. Land mass is not a determinant of population. This isn't a difficult concept to grasp.

[s]Once again, land mass is not a determinant in head count, why is this a problem for you. Agreed, Igbo land is small but you will not travel half a kilometre without finding people. I gave you an example of Mbaise in Imo state. The original natives of Lagos is no where near in size to Mbaise population.
FYI, if an ethnic census is conducted in Lagos state, the 4 million out of 12 million people in Lagos will not be counted as Yoruba but Igbo. In Oyo state, 1 million Ndigbo out of 5 million people in Oyo state will be counted as Ndigbo.

In Kwara state, the northern part is not Yoruba, the middle part is a misture of groups while the south is Yoruba. Even at that, the Igbo population in Rivers state is bigger than the entire Kwara state population.
in KOGI state, the Yoruba population is nothing compared to 1.5 million Igbo people in Delta state.
The Olukumi in Delta state who are less than 1,000 can not be compared to Okpoku LGA of Benue state who are Igbo speaking and number about 100 thousand.[/s]
In total, Igboland is half of Yorubaland in land mass while Yoruba population is just about half of Igbo population.

@ alj harem
I have to say I always respect your comments and I hadly agree for less.
You 've got well analysed facts while the guy arguing with you cant stop talking based on we we, without having a single back-up.

I wonder oo
Infact ! doubt if they are up to 500 in population especially when someone already claimed that some indigenes of Egba, Ijebu, Kwara and Lagos, appeared to him in his dreams that they are not Yoruba. This guy sef

Desola:
When did abokis become your brothers? Isn't Kwara in the North?

Abi you wan start doing longer throat for other peoples property?

You disappointed me with this statement . Dont you know a geo-graphical location has nothing to do with ethnicity? Kwara is geographically in the north but not ethnically. Kogi is in the north but it is made up of Yorubas, Igalas, Ebira, etc Delta is in the SS but the ibos in there know themselves and they will rather do with ibos in the SE.

Beaf:
Kwara is mainly Yoruba. Ilorin has Fulani rulers (who bear Yoruba names), but thats it.

@topic
We can now expect an almighty bruhaha for Kwara to be split into two or more states. Where there is oil, there is sorriow.

Andre Uweh:
This your post above is brainless. If at all you have travelled to places around Nigeria and speak different languages, then you would have known that what people of Edo speak is not Yoruba. You would have as well known that those Edos who speak Yoruba were either born in Yorubaland, lived in Yorubaland or have learnt to speak Yoruba. It is an outright stupidity to turn a simple logic upside down.

Andre, Andre. . .
Cool your temper and work on yourself.

To answer the OP like the likes of alj harem, and others who have made reasonable contributions, you have a long way to go!
You were the one who turned the question upside down and I can see you are getting the topic wrong.
The OP did not say Edos speak Yorubas as their language . Read to understand and dont just disturb your keyboard just cos you are not charged per word. If this were an sms, I can bet you wont appear as much as you do. Take care.

odumchi:
Since when did the Ikwerre and Ukwuani clans stop being Igbo? Man you should really stay sway from things you don't know. Ikwerre:Igbo is not the same as Itsekiris : Yoruba. Ikwerre speak a dialect of Igbo. A more reasonable comparison is Ekpeye:Igbo Yoruba:Itsekiris. But I'm sure you've had no previous knowledge of them.:

Andre Uweh:
Your post on the bolded reveals you are as confused as the original poster. It also reveals that you have not set foot outside Yorubaland. To improve your knowledge about Nigeria people without going outside the south west, you should write JAMB and aptitude text at Universities like Unibadan or Unilag. Such places will enable to come across people of different origins, languages and tongues. It is just a humble advice as it seems you have not been to a uni yet.
For someone to think Edos speak Yoruba and another one feels the same way shows lack of sufficient knowledge of Nigerian people.

You know your problem. . . .halucination!
Your post (especially your first reply) shows your level of hopelessness. And I pray you dont pass this genetic arrogance and ignorance on.

You talk of jamb, talk of aptitude test, talk of unilag and bla bla bla. . . .I laugh in francaise . Andre, you were still walking lifelessly across the streets of Etiti when I acquired all of that. You were still hopeless and without life direction when I travelled to places as a result of the various languages I speak. You always think everyone is a local champion like you  .

A little advise for you . . . .stop feeling irritated whenever we are mentioned. Reduce the number of village festivals you attend cos the breeze there is not good for your health mentally. Reduce your level of obsession. . .And you will be fine again .

Andre Uweh:
Edo people speak Bini, Esan and Etsako. Some Edo people who have spent years in Yorubaland speak Yoruba just like Yorubas who have spent years in Benin speak Bini.

Andre Uweh:
@The poster, once again, no Edo speaks Yoruba without learning it. No Yoruba speaks Edo without learning it. Yorubas speak Yoruba and associated dialects while Edos speak Edo and related dialects.

Ibime:
We already solve disputes in the church internally. There needs be no organisation of a formal legal structure for Christians to settle disputes as Christians are too denominational. A Wesleyan Methodist can never respect the decision of catholic clergy, neither can an Anglican respect the decision of Cherubim and Seraphim clergy.

chamber2:
Lame! Just because Sanusi and co are going crazy about religion does not mean we should join in their madness.
And this is coming from a judge?

Gbam!
The judge is using sharia has a yardstick . . . .hmmn, two wrongs are now making a right in this country.

Old ijebu winch, so you still dey alive? Stop your Igbo-hating. Not good for your health.

What did I say against the igbos now?
You must be sick.
Dont derail the thread. . .let it flow.

rhymz:
[s]I was going to ask this question by the way; which tribe/ethnic group has the most of local dishes? Me think it is us, Igbos, you need to be in the east to appreciate our very many local delectable dishes that will make you want to shove down pizza and hamburger into dustbin. I may be wrong though but I am yet to see any tribe with so many dishes to boast of like the igbos. I remember back in them days when my mum was alive, jeeez. . That woman made some soups that till these days I am yet to see in any local restaurant here in lagos. calabar people too have some very nice dishes too but I doubt it is in variety like that of the Igbos though.[/s]

lagcity:
and just because the ppl met with Abubakar does not mean they took the money. why would he accuse Ijaw leaders when we all know that Abiola was Yoruba and that Yoruba leaders were the ones spearheading the fight for Abiola's mandate?
