The op made more sense than people who r castigating him.
Ibokette ibas the ex cns is from biase.
Ibokette is a ibibio name.
If u go to biase, biase is a local govt in cross river state, they have their own language, dont really know what they speal and which ethnic group they r whether ejagam, mbube or part of qua or efik... But in that biase, there is a community called ikot ekwere if am not mistaken. That community is strictly occupied by akwaibomites...
Will these people say they r ibibio when they r in cross river state?

NIgeria is complex jare.

We should start deemphasising tribes and relate with citizens based on their personal competence.

The only Yoruba Movie I love so much is TALONGBEMU (Who dey carry nose).

It was released in 2001 and I think it was the first major production of Mr. Latin (Not Sure).

Around 2006, I went to Eko Idumota and rumaged through the entire Movie Section at (Ebinpejo Lane or so) looking for this movie and I couldn't get it.

Well, I stopped watching Yoruba Movies long time ago since they only promote Cultism, Oloshoism, Armed-Robbery & other useless societal vices but - there can never be any Yoruba Movie as interesting & funny as TALONGBEMU BABA ONI WAIDI.

Mr. Latin, if you're seeing this, kindly make TALONGBEMU available for us.

Did you watch Tade Ogidan's Madam Dearest and Tunde Kilani's Thunder Bolt?

I Mean, When These Fulani's Commits Attrocities, Do They Announce It?

What Will Happen After All These Video Arrest And Audio Release.


Can't They Murder These Jerks On The Spot?

Mtchw,

I remembered in 2017 when i visited republic of benin,
they caught some fulani's that usually rob and kill people travelling back to the river boarder that linked my village to ayegun,
the vigilantes has huts in the bush just like the fulani's, so they caught 7 of this fulanis and believe me when i say these vigillante's shot and butchered all the fulanis on the spot. i was happy af

I don't support Jungle Justice but what I know for sure is that Fulani Herdsmen in other countries are law abiding and they don't go about killing people like they do in Nigeria.

isthatso:
Nobody opposes southern presidency in principle. People only oppose SE or SW presidency. SE oppose SW presidency saying it’s their turn and SW oppose SE presidency saying they haven’t worked for it.

Whenever any Southerner is mentioned as running for president, it doesn't matter if it's Osinbajo, Tinubu, Orji Kalu, Okorocha, Dave Umahi,Wike, check the majority of the people that will fiercely oppose their candidature.

isthatso:
your story always changes, depending on whether you think there is hope or it looks like there is no hope.

It's a simple observation.
Whenever any Southerner is touted to run for the presidency, check the majority of the people that will oppose it.

isthatso:
and some people are thinking PDP will zone their ticket to them

If you read the comments of most Igbo online, you will see that they are strongly opposed to ANY Southerner running for the presidency in 2023.

paulolee:
wont b surprised if wike have nothing to do with this early campaign, maybe its d handwork of a group of jobless individuals dt wants to cashout..
even wike knows dt atiku is PDP best shot of winning dt sit back, if he decides to go this way, it may spell doom for him and PDP because I dnt think he would win votes from even a PDP state aside from rivers because the people are wiser..
obaseki edo victory proved dt politics isnt abt the party but about the credibility of the individual dts going for it..

Why is Atiku a credible candidate but Wike is not?

Remember our ovens are multipurpose
They can be used for
1) baking
2) smoking
3) drying

Confectioneries
Fish(any type)
Vegetables and ginger

Can these oven be used to bake pelletized fish feeds?

Amopeekun:
Thank you, I appreciate.

1) No, Gambari is a fusion of many ethnic groups, mainly from the north, especially the bazan bakwais, others from gobir, a Hausa bakwai and the others from kanem-borno.
Hausa became the main language since it was and still the most popular among the northerners. The different groups are mainly identified by their tribal marks, till this day. And of course, every group has it own location. I don't know, but their proximity, similar way of life, religion and the likes, earned them that name, Gambari.

2) The beri beri are a group from Kanem- borno. They are sometimes called the kanuris. This is the group I belong.
I hope this helps.

Thanks once again for the matured response.

Your first paragraph confirm what I read in the History of Ilorin that the people collectively referred to as Gambari in Ilorin represent the the non-Yoruba, non-Fulani settlers in the 19th century Ilorin.

However in the modern day Ilorin, most Indigenes are descents of Yoruba, Fulani, Nupe and the 'Gambari' groups due to centuries of inter-tribal marriages, all united under the banners of Islam.

I have never seen an Ilorin Indigene who is not a Muslim.

Amopeekun:
Ni sire, i didn't get it wrong. I only wanted him to understand we aren't all fulanis. Telling him balogun this balogun that may be too tedious for me to type.
Thank you for expatiating.

Thanks for the matured responses.


It's good to hear it directly from the horse's mouth.

1) Is Gambari an ethnic group?
If yes, where precisely is their ancestral origin? Which language do they speak. Can you tell us the names of 3 of their native dieties.

2) Are Beriberi you are mentioning the same as the more common Bariba?

Amopeekun:
No sir, the Gambaris are a whole group.
We have four main groups: Gambari, Fulani, Ajikobi and Alanamu.
Good morning

You got it wrong ma.
In Ilorin, there are four Baloguns (Generals) ,each representing some ethnic interests;

1) Balogun Fulani: The General from the Fulani group
2) Balogun Gambari: The General from the non-Fulani, non-Yoruba population
3) Balogun Ajikobi: The General from the Ajikobi family and their allies/supporters
4) Balogun Alanumu: General from the descendants of Alanumu.


Both Num-4 and Num-4 are original Yoruba Aborigines of Ilorin.

Delta Igbo

Do Delta Igbo bear Awele?

Amopeekun:
No sir/ma, we are not. I am beriberi. Most Gambaris are. The other parts of Gambari, we have the bakastines, the nupawas, gobirawas and the likes. At the central, you have the ruling Sokoto clan, the descendants of Alimi.

I can't agree, unapologetically, that we are ruled by a Yoruba king, because what we have in Ilorin is a mix of all tribes. Importantly, the Emirates heads, because of our religious affiliation and Quranic foundation. We may speak a version of Yoruba but we know who we are.

The idi Apes, are the only ones claiming to be Yorubas with the alanamus, but hey, it is what it is and we are not complaining

If the Gambaris are not the same as Fulanis, how come an Emir of Fulani descent bore the name; Zukarmani Zulu-Gambari (the father of the incumbent Emir, Ibrahim Kolapo Gambari)?

Amopeekun:
The Gambaris and the fulanis in Ilorin are not one o. I am an original Gambari and I am not fulani

What's the difference?

I think the Gambaris are a subset of people who are Fulani-Yoruba hybrid in Ilorin.

Jollylolly:
Ilorin.. Kwara state is not Western Nigeria abeg; it Northern....Dont confuse us
Nice tour though

When it was first created in 1967, the State was originally named 'West Central State' before it was changed to Kwara.

AbujaCitiBlog:
How is the North Preventing your Tinubu from running for office? Why is he using his minions to bleat that power should return to the South? Why why why

What brings the North into this discussion?
Has Tinubu or S/West ever say that ANY candidate must not contest in the way you people are saying Tinubu must not contest?


Whether North contest or not, Tinubu and other S/West candidates should contest and pursue their presidential ambitions to a logical conclusion.

Do you have popcorn machine?

Pochettino:
Buhari and Awolowo's lineage will never know peace. I type this with tears in my eyes.

Stop being silly, God doesn't answer this kinds of prayers.

post=98164546:
North know once typical Yoruba man grab power,
1, they will privatize Lagos ports and air port to Tinubu or his cronies, these are areas north control for decades and Yorubas want to take over by all means
2, Many federal properties in Lagos that are located in choice areas in Lagos that
they're fighting to takeover Police, navy, and Army barracks in Ikoyi, Ikeja and VI, Lagos trade fair complex etc
3, They know once Yoruba grab power they will empower their regional security with more sophisticated arms to fight their people
4 The need to protect the power their forefathers handed over to them in Kwara.

This looks so banal and jejunile, all what you listed have been put up for privatization in the past with varying degrees of success.


Besides, when did you become the mouthpiece of 'The North'?

Do you know the feelings of 'The North' more than Bashir El-Rufai, the son of the Governor of Kaduna State who put up this post?

post=98163681:
North knows southwest poltical games and Awolowo ideologies, go and read Obj last book, why north refused to hand power over to Awolowo and Abiola instead they handed power over to Obj that doesn't believe in Yoruba ideologies.

Politics is dynamic sir.
Alignment and Re-alignments of political power blocks do occur.

post=98163238:
One thing I'm 100% sure Tinubu or his group will not get APC ticket, same with Orji Kalu they are just deceiving themselves, I don't need to be prophet to read the political game going on. Save this post

Name the candidate that you are sure will get the APC ticket

Fahdiga:
If the two is the best that APC can field then they have already lost even before the election

So who do they already lost to?

so someone supplying logistics is now a boko haram member... no be business him dey do .. you go do research to write rubbish just to prove a stupid point ... now I know why you dey collect bashing here steady .. tufiakwa

Don't mind the silly propagandists.


So a businessman supplying foods and spare parts to the Nigerian Army Division in Borno can be regarded as a member of the Nigerian Army?

[quote author=AbujaCitiBlog post=98182220]How is the North Preventing your Tinubu from running for office? Why is he using his minions to bleat that power should return to the South? Why why why[/quote

You don't even know what you are saying:

People are campaigning for Tinubu all over Nigeria. Did this group mentioned anything about the North?
Why complaining on their behalf?

Did Tinubu/S/west say anyone should not contest?

Whether North or South is contesting in 2023, Tinubu has a right to contest.

You can only appeal to people to support you but you can NOT blackmail other candidates out of the presidential race.

Urging the APC leadership to respect the power sharing agreement does NOT in any way mean any candidate from anywhere can not contest.

No party can force candidates out of the race.
In 2014 when the APC agreed that the North should have the ticket, Okorocha still contested and came 4th position.
Abubakar Rimi and Gemade from the North contested the 2003 PDP presidential primaries.

Northern candidates are free to participate in the race. Indeed Atiku,the foremost candidate from the North already have the presidential ticket of the PDP locked down for him.

Wish 50% of the youths can reason like you!

"What was his major achievement when he was a former governor.?"

Many schools were closed, the school of nursing was closed, the water supply that used to function stop functioning increases the number of agbero, all tax goes to his company account even till now, land grabbing, stole government letterhead papers and stamps, installed omo Ibadan Akinolu as Oba of Lagos. etc

Are you a registered member of the APC or you are part of the APC presidential delegates?

kereman1:
U and wat army or minions, when the northerners are busy breeding like rabbit you think they don't have plan, as far as nigeria is concern the north has a very strong grip on power.

Don't deceive tinubu and he sudnt waste money. Cos it will end in tears

How is this your problem? When did you start caring about Tinubu?

And why are you crying more than the bereaved?

AbujaCitiBlog:
Only an evil minded person with intention to do evil will be talking about Tinubu and Southwest when, the rest of the country is talking about healing the wounds of the civil war!

By 2023 the South West where Tinubu hails from will have had the Presidency and Vice Presidency for 16 Years within a space of 24 years. This means that they must have had the Presidency and Vice Presidency three quarters of the time. And yet they are still seeking it. That is political greed! Pure and simple.

This is the turn of the South East!

David Umahi, Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas Okorocha etc! This is your time. Step out and step up!

Park well Bros.

How is Tinubu or the S/west preventing Dave Umahi, Orji Kalu or Rochas Okorocha from contesting for the ticket of the APC?
