tpia@:
you're too eager to pick fights over anything edo/bini.

Compared to yoruba culture, edo has more in common with the cultures towards the east, than southwest.

in any case, edo doesnt always mean bini- there are other tribes who lean more towards igbo/southeast/southsouth in nature.

He said urhobo, not edo.

mbatuku2: Well, for me, I consider tall women(who are not obesed) with good facial features as beautiful.



I think the only complaint here is yoruba women cant cook. Culinary skills are some of the last things a man would find out when dating a woman.

You make it look like there's something inate that will never allow an Igbo man to find a yoruba woman as an ideal mate. I'm yet to see it, though. You better dont buy into false information. There are many Igbo man/yoruba women marriages. I saw a lot myself when growing up and still know a quite a number till date.

What false information, dude let's be realistic on this forum. In Lagos, you are more likely to meet an Igbo man with an Igbo, Ibibio, Ijaw, Urhobo, etc. than Yoruba. I was raised in a community where such union should be common and it wasn't and still isn't. I now live in a community, though with little Nigerian community, but within the Nigerian community there are more Yoruba than Igbo and more Igbo men and Igbo women so the union should be common yet it is still rare. Let's realistic... No offense but some Yoruba women exhibit ways Igbo men do not find attractive such as attitude, physical, etc. Even on this forum some of the Yoruba women act ways if an Igbo woman ever does, she would be shun within the community. It can't just be a coincidence if it's the same occurrence everywhere be it US, Lagos, Asaba, PH and probably UK too. If it is not happening where it supposed to happen, then it would not happen anywhere else with an opposite situation. You are in an Igbo/Yoruba relationship so it is understandable our position will differ just like I know an Hausa boy whose mother is Igbo whom tried his hardest to implicate his family union is very common even though we know its a rarity itself.

mbatuku2: You made some valid points that got me thinking in a new perspective. But I have a feeling you might not be perfectly correct. I know there's a generalization about yoruba girls not being good-looking, but there are quite a handful that are more beautiful than the average Igbo girl.

Of course there are beauties among the yoruba communities. Beauties and wowo's are in every community. You are not getting what i'm saying, I said overall the attraction is not there between the two groups. Even though you'll see it once in awhile here and there but overall if you count the entire community it's a rarity. Maybe another direction might clear what i'm trying to say. Take Ethiopians for a example, once in awhile you'll see an Ethiopian man dating a west African or even akata but overall it not common because of the same attraction policy. Another illustration Ghanaian for an example, even though Nigerians and Ghanaians have been interacting with each other alot longer than Nigerians and Zimbabweans or Nigerians and south-African, Nigerian and South African marital status is alot higher than Ghanaian and Nigerian marriage which again all boils down to attraction. Let's be realistic if it didn't happen in lagos, it didn't happen in asaba, it didn't happen in PH and didn't happen in USA, it probably won't happen in ontisha, enugu, etc.

What is standard for mutual attraction? Looks? character?

IMO both

Omotola Jalade comes to mind. Maybe I need to understand your yardstick for attraction.

Dude yeah. We both have different taste. In my opinion, omotola is very average

My yardstick for attraction is beauty (physical), attitude (confident), educated, strong, can cook, can clean, not-dependent, etc

Nigerians are trying desperately to find someone to blame for this tragedy. First they blamed GEJ, now they are blaming and attacking akpabio. Whose next? Jesus? Boko Haram? Chinese man? I'm just waiting for when una will pass the blame to the real culprit and that is the aviation. If there was a problem with their airplane, they shouldn't have used it. The man did an honorable thing by informing them but we all know Nigerians are greedy, they will ignore your warning and continue with what they are doing till some sh1t goes wrong and the next thing we go here is "ewoo. wahallla don happen".

This is like the dumbest question brought onto mankind. You skipped Abacha, IBB, Obasanjo, etc reign and jumped to GEJ?

mscheww 1diot of the century na so u be OP?

nice pictures. A past present in the future is always an enlighten thing to watch.

By the way
@ thread

Moremi in Yoruba history loved and seduced the Igbo. While many were forced to change their confrontations and assimilated; marauders were expelled. Yoruba and Igbo histories remember Moremi. Yoruba also disguised or changed locations during wars. History teaches us that there were a few Ife locations moving north and south but the original one remain around the area it is today in the rain forest. It is backed by scientific research of spreading out of Africa not into.

ogini bu ihe ka? Yoruba's biko nu anything una have to write whatever, stop dragging Igbo into. leave us out haba

Abagworo: I used the upper middle class because they are the ones that you can see marry Yorubas because they've traveled and mingled with different peoples. The Igbos in the village or less exposed will likely believe that the distance is far too and will think their child would be ill treated. If Yorubas travel out and settle in large populations in say Onitsha, Aba or Enugu, It is likely there will be an increase in the girls marrying Igbo guys.

As for the fears being justified, the answer is "No".You will definitely have a mix of experiences no matter where you marry from. I've heard of Igbos killing their Igbo spouse and Yorubas killing their Yoruba spouse. The girl involved should know her man before getting involved in a life long commitment.

That is highly unlikely. Yoruba/Igbo marriage has more to do with attraction than location. Let’s be realistic, majority of Igbo men do not find Yoruba women attractive thus the rarity of Yoruba women and Igbo men marriage. Naeto C for example: He was born in Texas, moved to DC during his college years, when he moved back to Nigeria, stayed Lagos, interacted more Yoruba men and women than he did with Igbos yet he ended up with an Igbo woman and during his time in DC and Lagos, he barely dated Yoruba girls. If you've ever been to DC, there are more Yoruba’s than Igbo but vice versa for Maryland though. Another illustration: If you've ever been to Asaba, there are lot Yoruba residing there yet it is very rare to see an Igbo man with a Yoruba woman but it is not rare to see an Igbo with an Ibibio, Urhobo, etc. Here in USA, the same, most Igbo men both young and old I’ve seen if they aren't married or dating Igbo women, they are married or dating Akatas or Caribbean women. It is rare to see one that is married or dating a Nigerian but of different ethnicity at least in USA. In Nigeria it is of course different. Marriage in Nigeria has nothing to do with location but more in attraction. Take a look at Igbo and Ibibio marital status; even though there are few Igbos in Ibibio land and very few Ibibio in Igbo land, the marital status between Igbo women and Ibibio men and Igbo men and Ibibio women are very high. In the percentage of Igbo marrying outside, Igbo/Ibibio marriage is actually the highest. Let’s be realistic. Even if a lot of Yoruba women moved into Onitsha, Aba, Enugu, etc., the marital status between the two will probably remain the same or have very little effect. You aren't to waste your time chasing after something you aren't attracted to. There is no difference between Igbo men in Lagos and Igbo men in Igbo land therefore if it is not happening in Lagos then it is not going to happen in Igbo land.

What do people expect from a thread opened by alj_harem? SMH

Why omit the word "MASSOB leader cannot question his authority as "THE NATIONAL SECRETARY OF APGA, EITHER INDIRECTLY OR DIRECTLY"

Which is a FACT!!!! Umuzurike is not an APGA member therefore he does have a limited right to fight or dispute a members contribution to political party meetings.

SMH alj-harem is pathetic as it get and takes no shame in it. what a shame

onlytruth
I support Uwazuruike in his efforts to sanction and rein in Victor Umeh who is desperate for power and position.
Infact MASSOB should make life HELL for Umeh and whoever is trying to destroy APGA for personal reasons.
Mr Shinkafis of Nigeria would never shut up until we deal with people like Victor Umeh.

supported I hope they continue to make his life a living he11.

DaLover: I did it because the reason why APGA was formed was to imitate what the yorubas are doing....dont forget that the yorubas are the undisputed leaders in ethnic politics...
For example the AG..action group evolved out of a yoruba cultural society.

Imitation kei Hmm if the accusation is true and APGA started in an effort to imitate ACN then yeah, I'm in support for the dismantle of APGA. Tribal politics is not something I wish nor hope Igbo people would follow thus dismantle APGA if the accusation is accurate in my honest opinion.

Asari Dokubo is a funny character. Shebi the man just talk because he likes the sound of his own voice.

I have now conclude Nigerians on NL have gots to be the dumbest people on Earth or there is reading comprehension problem circulating the entire Nigerian population.

First of all let me just put this out there: I honestly do not understand why anytime there is an Igbo and Hausa conversation or Hausa and any Southern tribe conversation 95% of the time yoruba on NL are on those threads 24-7 fighting for the northerners. I have not seen any thread with this type of conversation is written without them butting their heads into it. What the f2k is with this kiss @ss or boy boy bullsh1t this people are exhibiting. Secondly, why is it that they are always the first to start sh1t and always the first to cry blue murder when people attack them back. The entire conversation, before the derailment by bittenyend, not one Igbo spoke of or even mentioned yoruba. Dalover, a non-igbo, spoke on Yoruba, funny enough every Igbo ignorned him and continue speaking on the conversation at hand. bittenyend joined in thread and derailed it and the same people that derailed it are the same people crying why Igbo are not focusing on the conversation. Wonder shall never end. Lastly, I also do not get why Igbo on NL pay mind to this people. The mystery baffles me sha. Like I said before una have time.

Now back to thread

The party’s National Secretary, Alhaji Sani Abdullahi Shinkarfi corroborated Ndigwe’s views. He questioned Menakaya’s right to call for the recent meeting of the party in the south east and the usual claim by some people that APGA is an Igbo party.

“This party does not belong to any Igbo man, it not a tribal or sectional party but a national party. This party belongs to us and not a singular tribe in Nigeria. In the Northern part of this country, we are the determinant factor because we host the highest number of delegates either in PDP ACN or CPC”.



“The Northern part of this country plays a determining role on who will be the leader of a party because the issue of democracy is a game of numbers and in the northern part of this country, we have the number, we can checkmate anybody in this party with our numbers. In a democracy, it is the people that count. In anything concerning any political party, we have 19 states and the Eastern part of this country has five states. What I will agree with any Igbo man is that APGA has more formidable structures in Igboland,” Shinkarfi said.

Either there is a reading comprehension people on una part or some people have a hard time deducting words emitted by another individuals or some people are too much of a bigot to learn how to read thus taking pride in ignorance.

A break down of this man words for those incompetent enough to understand.

This party does not belong to any Igbo man, it not a tribal or sectional party but a national party. This party belongs to us and not a singular tribe in Nigeria.

Do I honestly need to provide definition of national or the meaning of singular for people to get gist of what the highlighted portion is saying?

In the Northern part of this country, we are the determinant factor because we host the highest number of delegates either in PDP ACN or CPC”.

Again do people need definition of words to understand the meaning of the highlighted. The same so called "we own apga" added in the title of thread is spread out to "CPC, PDP and ACN" according to words of this man. In an effort to ridicule and chest-back some people are too clueless to realise the man said the same thing about their own political party.

Next portion

“The Northern part of this country plays a determining role on who will be the leader of a party because the issue of democracy is a game of numbers and in the northern part of this country, we have the number, we can checkmate anybody in this party with our numbers. In a democracy, it is the people that count. In anything concerning any political party, we have 19 states and the Eastern part of this country has five states. What I will agree with any Igbo man is that APGA has more formidable structures in Igboland,” Shinkarfi said.

Lastly, this forum continue to prove to me that the older generation aren't necessary the wisest generation as so many people have assumed for so many years at least when concerning Nigeria. The factor does not apply to other nations especially other african nations.

where in this man quotes did lagcity get the implication the northerners determine APGA leaders or is this one of those rare moment when someone brain only able to process one word and ignore the rest of the words that would help him determine the meaning of that one word he used.

According to shinkarfi words: The northern part of Nigeria play a role in determining the leader of A PARTY and judging from his earlier quotes, this "A party" is that of ACN, PDP, APGA and CPC.

Next he said "the issue of democracy is a game of numbers and in the northern part of this country, we have the number, we can checkmate anybody in this party with our numbers" meaning APGA wouldn't get far up in presidency without alliance with north due to the fact northern population is far higher than eastern population (or so they continue to lie to themselves with)

The ending quotes hinted like he11 what the man meant. WTF stupid1ty do you people display constantly on this forum? "In a democracy, it is the people that count. In anything concerning any political party, we have 19 states and the Eastern part of this country has five states." What I will agree with any Igbo man is that APGA has more formidable structures in Igboland"

Are una honestly that ignorant to understand the reason he used eastern state to illustrate what he said despite his statements are including all political party in Nigeria? SMH depsite the fact, the man's ending words explained everything on what he's saying but yet some people still did not understand it.

I'm shocked none of una bothered to read the article and if una did, the meaning of the words flew past una head. SMH!!!!

queensmith: She paved the way?? Did she build the car? Why do we celebrate mediocrity like this?

Thank you!!! I wonder oo!!

Biko can someone answer to me why peterKbaba dude is calling Igbo everywhere when very few Igbo replied on this thread. me, pointb and obijulius, other than us who else? Na wetin concern us with ACN or Fashola. If him wan run, let him run. If him no want, do we care? Abeg, ACN is no different from PDP. I'm even ashamed I used to think it was a good political party. I'm judging and watching what they've been doing, watching their supporters on NL and seeing how they conversant and I bet my entire life savings that if ACN grasp presidency of Nigeria, they going to be worse that PDP and other political party put together so stop disturbing us with all this sugarcoating bullsh1t. We were here when ACN used up billions just for a f2king cake, we were here when they increased school tuition and tolls to take money from the masses. We were here when they sacked doctors for contract of breach on their part and also here when they rehired those doctors and still refusing to pay them the desired amount both them and the doctors came up with. Good for them they are building roads, opening fm.1 and other things but does that have an effect on the ppl's income? would that reduced the fact that the citizen going to be spending more than they are making (as we are witnessing now-days) just to keep up with increase in price for everything. Honestly I feel I can make a good governor in Nigeria talkless president as long as I continue to build sh1t to beautify the place, I can milk the citizens dry and they would be happy like a clamp and still applaud me. I'm surprised the 1diot Nigerian government have not taken notice of this sh1t.

Is he not the same man that turned a blind eye when his followers went on a killing spree? Is it not the same man that threatens the entire masses every second he can get just because very few voted for him? Is it not the same man whom tried to rig himself into power and crying blue murder just because his opposition outrigged him each time? Is this not the same man that was past president and during that reign, nothing happened? Is this not the same man that tried to lie to us that Abacha did not loot even though many of us grew up during abacha reign and we still remember everything during that reign and we are in this recent years watching western banks returning money stolen from that family back to Nigeria. Na my papa dash am money olodo. Is this not the same man that said muslim should not vote for a christian?

Boko Haram, I mean Buhari save your crocodile tears.

manny4life

You are arguing against his opposition because? Nwoke mu, have you taken a look at Cameroon and compared it to Nigeria? Sh1t I rather have the entire Igboland in Cameroon than Nigeria anyday, any minute. You need to go seek an Igbo cameroon and ask them wetin dey happen? my guy you no go believe story. I truly wish engineered thing will come true. Any country is better than this f2ked up country.

@ thread
So the container surpassed Lagos and it's security team and made it all the way to Ontisha. What does that tell una? This country is f2king shame sha.

Anyway, the person that snitched is an 1diot. Who knows what they were planning to do with the arms. There are 2 option: 1.) it is for sale or 2.) protection for Igbo masses. If na 2 option, the snitch is an 1diot.

Ejine biko hapu ya. I'm begging you hapu ya. E ga egbu madu

eku_bear: Hrm. The rest might be true. But regarding Spanish accents, Mexican accents are pretty distinctive from other Spanish accents.

So they definitely won't use Mexican accents to portray Argentinians or people from the Dominican Republic, for example.

Have you watched Friday? I can't remember whether it was the second or the third, I know it wasn't the first. When dede moved into the surburbs with his uncle and cousin, the neighbor were both a spanish woman and thugged out puerto ricans. Despite the actors actually being latinos, they spoke with a mexican accent as oppose to puerto rican accent except the sister whom actually spoke in a puerto rican accent.

Nigerians are sad sha.

Just congratulate the dude and move on, all this tribe argument is irrelevant.

shymmex: STFU and take your jealousy somewhere else..

Don't derail the damn thread, your ignorant opinions don't count, inbred jealous goat.

STFU 1diot. The slowpoke that calls himself shymmex that everyone have schooled is talking.

Move aside!!!

Yewe2011: nah

they accused of being Nigerian because I knew a lot about the different ethnic rivalries and regions.

I'm Ghanaian.

I grew up with and have a lot of Nigerian friends though.

Aha. Like I've mentioned so many times majority of my friends are Ghanaians from Ewe to Ashante to Akan to Fante, to Lolobi, to Ada to Bono etc and it is easy for me to tell a Nigerian from a Ghanaian.

On NL: I don't care anymore, I tried to make sense of it, couldn't understand reason it so I stopped caring. As long as it's not pretension of my ethnic group nor related ethnic groups, I do not give f2k.
Do you shikena!!!

alj harem: dude don't you have a life, something of 3-4 months ago, you are now replying and insulting

Do you actually think he would read it ?

A dude with 1000 Ids, lying when caught red-handed and online 24-7 is asking if someone else different from that has a life.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I've seen it all. Wonder shall never end . That is hilarious as f2k.

Dude stop stealing my line.

By the way, anything dey for your head? The thread is on tOP of the politics page. Why wouldn't he see it? What differs this thread from other old thread that was months, sometimes years that was bumped up and people continuing speaking on the subject. Even your poor excuse of life person have done that ROFLMFAO. Dude go get your head checked because you are lacking hard there.

ekt_bear: No. They like, revere British accents.

Caribbean, French, Spanish, etc are not held in as high esteem.

Like, any movie about the Greeks, Romans, or ancient times, anything from fantasy...British accent they'll use.

I just find it kind of interesting.

I also wonder if it spoils some of these movies/tv shows for British folk. E.g., Game of Thrones where so many characters have a Scottish accent...does it spoil the "mood" a bit of the show for Scottish people?

To be watching something on TV set in a fantasy world, but where so many characters speak exactly like you do?

Anyway, just some idle thoughts.

I thought that had more to do with mis-education of Americans than holding British accents in esteem. Unfortunately the nation, though not all but the majority, have misconception that all European accents except Ireland, french and Italy sound British. Eastern Europe differ from other European countries but every country in Eastern European sound Russian. If you noticed whenever they pretending to be Caribbean, they use the Jamaican accent. For South America, they use the Mexican accent. For Asian (excluding middle east and India), they used Chinese accent. For Africa, they used Shaka Zulu accent(not SA but Shaka zulu from the movie). I thought they just weren't aware of the accents within the continents.

That is what I noticed but I could be wrong.

Chei insult upon injury. oh chineke na, unu ga egbu madu eba

ekt_bear: Heh. They always use British accents too in pretty much any medieval or fantasy movie/tv show. Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings...

Americans for whatever reason hold British accents in high regard.

It is not just British accent, the same can applied to Caribbean, French, Spanish, etc accent. American from what I can see find accent not of there own unique except maybe Africans and Asians.

Rhino.5dm:
Mechhie onu!! I have virtually step on every state in Nigeria and far beyond.
You are a foollll for saying that. Infact, i leanrt how to phocked on Igbo women way back in the north. We used to pay 10 naira/round. No AIDS then, so we are free to apply skin to skin.
       
                                    I dare you on that!!
Nkita ara.

Even though I know you are lying as far as satan himself can do. I do have to ask, do you have shame at all?

Dude in an effort to insult others, you used a lie that actually an insult to yourself. You proudly boasted you cannot get laid without seeking a professional prostitute. How ugly are you? Use your head dude. Do you have shame at all?

Chei Ejine

Jiri ya nwanyo. Hapu onye na ewero uche aka.

ROFLMFAO @ this thread.

I went to England and they spoke American.
funny!!!

Another Okija: The name of the perp was witheld, how do we know its not a Yoruba man that is responsible and trying to tanish the reputation of Ndi Igbo?!

The MY PIKIN saga comes clearly to mind when you talk fake drugs!!

Dude you've already been busted. Why da f2k you still doing this?

They've already busted you with jason, busted you with okija id and you are still doing it.

You need a life and stop dragging Igbo into your sh1t. If you want to insult yoruba, do with your id and your original ethnicity and leave us out.
