Nwannem Let us stop deceiving ourselves. Let us tell ourselves the truth: we Igbos have a fundemental problem. Even beyond politics, we also have deep rooted social and ancestral problems too. We hate ourselves passionately, we discriminate: we still practise the Osu caste system. hate, bitterness, tribialism and clannishness thrive very much in Alaigbo. It is just as if we Igbos are cursed

LMAO!!!

.D.

I will go for option D.

One of the best states in Nigeria.

LeSudAfricaine:
South Africa is in this list just for convinience

You guyz are okay.
Maybe not first world yet, and a few shanty settlements here and there, but nothing like the rest of us in SS Africa.

YourNemesis:
Stop this folly already, Ekiti is a largely rural state. Rural is different from slum.

About 60% of Africa remains rural, can we say 60% of Africa is slum?
Slumming remains a feature of huge urban settlements.

Aba has a projected population of 619,583 [9]and is regarded as the most densely populated urban slum in Nigeria [10] with a population density estimated at ...

This is a google earth aerial of Aba... Tell me and every reasonable person on this forum that this isn't a slum.

Keep fooling yourself there.
That Aba wasn't listed in the OP's post does not mean it isn't a slum, fool. There are several huge slums in Ibadan, Warri, Benin, Kano, Onitsha, Jos and several other places that were not there.

Ewo!!

We the best.

Osu people

Aguleri and the entire Nri culture is an Igala cultural by-product.

One language in nigeria that I really love so much.
It took me less than 6 months to learn Yoruba during my NYSC.

Vello:
It'll be too shameful if you're resident in Lagos. I'll simply ask you what's your mission there. You first need ask your friend ask your father, brothers, sisters and mother what is it that got lost in your Igbo land that they're looking for in Lagos as fake spare parts dealers in Ladipo; your mothers as hawkers and corn roasters; your brothers as PEACE MASS TRANSIT, IFESINACHI, OKENE DILI chukwu transport companies touts and conductors-not that Alaba Intl market and SURU ALABA market is not part of where they constitutes nuisance and your sisters as harlots in all brothels that dots the landscape of Lagos and other Yoloba lands as it were. I'm certain there hardly any Yoloba person above 15 - 16yrs that has not sampled a Igbo kitten countless times. I must add that though not that the pussy is that special or sweet but because when the preferred is not available, the available then becomes the preferred.
Hope you're catching my drift? What the heck do you motherfuckers want in Yoloba lands if you don't want us.
Your post is nothing but childish, misguided and uneducated

He who asks to be insulted such as the OP will get it in bucket loads today....LOL!!

Rockmyworld:
You're very correct sir. But there is something I'll really love to point out to you. And that's the love of the language or the pride of it. Forget about migration of other ethnic groups into Benin.
My emphasis is on why will two bini people be standing together and never for once speak bini language. I have met a lot of bini people in my life and I'll like to say we don't like speaking it to each other.
Two IBOs, Hausa, and Yoruba can never be together and choose to use the English language or Pigin. That's my point.

Maybe because the Two Ibos, Two Yorubas or Two Hausas might be coming from monoethnic states?
Since Benin is a city in Edo state, and binis account for only 1 out of 3 senatorial districts in Edo, not everyone in the state speak the same language, so I don't think the Edo state government will be able to do anything about the issue.
I think Binis are a great people who are proud of their culture and history, maybe they should extend that same pride to their language. Do Binis have town hall meetings, developmental conferences, community meetings, and the likes? Maybe they should start making it a point at the meetings, the importance of teaching their children Bini language. Remember that the family is the smallest unit of society, and the only place where representatives of individual families meet to discuss common issues are at meeting such as that.

Rockmyworld:
That's the amazing thing. I was teaching for a while after my nysc in Benin. But unfortunately no bini language subject. I remembered when I was about writing my waec years back in akure, I was asked to register one compulsory Nigerian language. They offer yoruba subject right from ss1. And here in Benin no language subject in most private schools. It's bad, and I don't know why.

I think one of the problems in various Nigerian cities such as Benin is the multicultural nature of the city itself. Are ethnic Binis even 50% of Benin city anymore? the city has been heavily creolized, and that is why languages such as Pidgin English thrive in place of Bini or any of the various other local indigenous languages of Edo state such as Ora, Esan, Etsako, Okpamheri, Igarra Etc. As well as those brought by "outsiders"
Ondo as well as most other places where Yorubas live on the other hand are clear ethnic strongholds of Yoruba people.
To be honest, It is a sad development, but I don't know what the solution is, since Rural-Urban migration will only continue to increase in Nigeria, bringing all sort of peoples and cultures of a different nature into Benin.

Firstly, is Bini language taught in schools?

Icon4s:
It is statistics like these that make APC feel dat d SEners have little efect in the equation of d presidential election. They always forget dat atleast 30% of dat SW figure are Igbos.Atleast 30% of d SS population are Igbos. U need to know d population of Igbos in NC particularly Abuja and Jos. For NW nobody needs to tell u abt d high presence of Igbos particularly Kano and Kaduna. For NE BH activities have driven a large number of Igbos away, however dey are still in areas like Bauchi and Adamawa.

The election results will swing in d favour of who ever d Igbos throw their support for.If Buhari wants to b president he needs to seek how to win over d Igbos.

LMAO !!
And how has that worked out.. Igbos 30% of SW. lol

No, it is inside Edo.
