Let me tell you the naked truth, most Nigerian women have some of these attributes but some don't exhibit them yet because conditions are still favourable.


You can silence these attributes in them with prayer, love, care and above all MONEY.

Even a bad girl can act like a good girl (for some time) if conditions are favourable to her and may even turn from bad girl to good girl if the favourable conditions persist for long.

Almost all women need and respond well to Love (with good sex), care, gifts and money.

gaius01:
a feminist lover spotted.
what the OP said is very correct
unless you serve and worship women then you will be single.

So many kids on Nairaland.

Elections are NOT won either by bravery or cowardice but by political structures.

You need to be sponsored by strong political structures of a party that enjoy popularity among the electorates. If you can't inspire love and confidence of the party, it will be difficult to get their ticket.


The alternative is for Ambode or any other politician to test his/her popularity on another platform e.g PDP, Labour Party, APGA etc.

However, these other alternative parties don't have strong political structures in Lagos politics and have reduced chances of winning.

Great ideas!


However, which year exactly is being proposed for Independence of Biafra?

selemempe:
port Harcourt is igboid too so no issues there.
This is the map of Biafra confederation. Each region will be almost independent. Only few areas will be handled at the federal level

The problems with most people on Nairaland is that they don't read widely and most have limited education which makes it very difficult to have intellectual discussions like we do on Reddit or Quora on this forum.

This is worsen by the fact that most of these people like to force their opinions on everybody and wish everyone just accept such opinions unquestioned.


Why are you shifting the goal posts?

I have just told you that people have rights to bear, change or even adopt any name they like. I even cited examples from the US and from this country but you are now talking about moving to Kano and such funny stuff that are unrelated to the subject matter.

Your assertions that Buhari and Atiku made these names great and popular are borne out of ignorance about the origins of these names.

It's just like saying Peter Okoye of P-Square made the name 'Peter' great and popular.

The President was named Muhammad (corrupted to Muhammadu in local Parlance) and he adopted the name Buhari from Muhammad Al-Bukhari, the 7th century Persian Islamic Theologian/Scholar who was a native of the city of Bokhara, now in Uzbekistan. He compiled the most authentic Hadiths called 'Sahih Bukhar' which is highly reverred next to the Glorious Quran among Muslims.


Bukhari or the corrupted local version Buhari/Buari simply means 'a native of the city of Bokhara'


The former Vice President was named Abubakar after Sultan Abubakar Atiku (the 3rd Sultan of Sokoto Caliphate) who himself was named after Abu Bakr As-Siddiq Ateekulah, the first Khalifa Russullah, companion and Father-in-law of Prophet Muhammad.

In the core North, a male child named Abubakar may also adopt the appellation, Sodiq or Atiku (the corrupted local version of Ateekulah among the Fulanis).

Gov Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State is one of such people who adopted the name 'Atiku'.

A child named Ibrahim or Usman may adopt the appellation 'Sheu' if they are named after Sheu (sheiks) Ibrahim Niyas of Senegal or Usman Dan Fodio of Sokoto Caliphate e.g Ex -Gov Ibrahim Sheu Shema of Katsina State and Ex President Usman Sheu Shagari.

nku5:
Abeg Abeg Abeg Atiku and Buhari did not move to Kano and change name to Dantata. Atiku and Buhari made those names great and popular

This is not what's called innovation.

Osun State Government under Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola once invested in this Sewage generated cooking gas and the O-Clean Gas policy in 2012-2014 and it failed in the long run.

Government aren't good manager of business.

The man should look for smart investors to invest in his business , it's the surest way to commercialize this lofty project.

phantom24:
Our clueless govt. Will never encourage or support this kind of innovations so they can continue to loot from nnpc

Good luck in your deportation busines

SLAP44:
Because we can deport him Niger.

Professor of Tinubu's Affairs,

I hope you know that anyone has a right to bear whatever names that he/she fancy?

Bill Clinton, the former President of the US was born as Williams Jefferson Blythe-111 but later adopted the name Bill Clinton.


I hope you also know that the names 'Buhari' and 'Atiku' were both adopted and not the names of their fathers?

nku5:
Tinubu is not even his real name

And how exactly is that your problems sir?

SLAP44:
No, if you deny him being from Iragbiji, that throws the doors open for wilder speculations, , he can be from Niger republic or worse still, from Abia state which you love to hate

What of Oguta and Onitsha?

warripekin:
I hate it when adult lie for silly reasons. Theirs no relationship between ikwerre and Bini. No history or anthropological pointer to show ikwerre is from Bini. A day will come, when this lies will stop.

Where is your sense of humanity?

How is this your post about Palestinians Vs Jews related to the killings in Southerns?

Did these young ladies brutally killed knew anything called Palestinians or Jews?

ODB2:
I don't want to see any Biastard comment against the Fulani menace here when they blindly support their Jewish masters killing innocent Palestinian Christians and Muslims in their land grabbing and genocidal agenda.

If you love the Jew then you must love the Fulani as well.

Evil is evil any where it rears its head.

Buhari is simply copying from his Jewish cousins

Big hips are part of the requisites qualifications being demanded by party chairmen before appointing women as 'Women leaders' of these parties.

majamajic:
Women leaders all get big hips
Why ?

Tinubu might have been born in Mars or Jupiter that is his business.

The only thing we know is that he is a humanbeing and a Nigerian.

SLAP44:
He made the assertions and if you can prove him wrong, come with your facts

If you say Tinubu is not from Iragbiji, where is he from, because he wasn't born at Bourdillion.

If you say he was there to bury his mother, where are the pictures apart from your beer palour denials without substance.

Is professorship a Nigerian creation?


Are Professors without Ph.Ds in US, Australia, Canada, Germany or UK inferior to Nigerian Professors?

rhemauni:
Lol

Kids talking what they don't know

Let me educate you all

PhD is the beginning of academic career while Prof is the pinancle of academic career.

In Nigeria of today by NUC standard u must have a PhD for over 10 years ( usually 12 yrs) before you can be assessed for professorship. Of course u gather relevant teaching and research experience within that period with over 50 academic publications in high impact factor Journals. Scopus, Thompson Reuters, WOS etc, with good citation index as will be seen in Google scholar, research gate, scopus, Wos etc

Academic career progression in Nigeria

Professor
Associate professor
Senior lecturer
Lecturer 1
Lecturer 2
Assistant Lecturer

PhD will only qualify u for as automatic lecturer 2, to move from one cadre to another u will spend a minimum of 3 yrs on teaching, research and community service.

U won't find a Nigerian professor in the last 15 yrs without PhD. U can't even become a senior lecturer without PhD. Without PhD ur academic career will end in lecturer 1 n u won't teach PG students.

You don't necessarily need to have Ph.D to become a Professor.

Professorship is a ranking attained while teaching and conducting researches in the Universities.

There are some Professors who have carried out many researches in their various fields without having Ph.Ds.

poiunt:
A Phd is required for you to be a professor.

receiving a Ph.D. doesn not mean that one is automatically a professor, Ph.D. certifies that you are a bona fide qualified researcher in your field.

One can only become a professor by having a position at a college or university that is After receiving the Ph.d

PhD is title through research, Professors are titles that are awarded by universities.

Is Mr Chuks Akunna, the former Chief Press Secretary to Dr Chris Ngige who brought out this issue of car an Afonja or how exactly did Afonja comes into this matter sir?

ogbuefi677:
Afonjaz are easily conned,just like Borrowhari conned them into thinking he was bringing change
To think that a serving governor of a rich state like Anambra,a former director in d federal civil service with a successful medical practice needs to solicit for a car is ludicrous.
I mean,Ebonyi or Ekiti receives d lowest allocation but any governor from those states can afford whatever car he/she wants

Pastor Adebayo is from Ife-wara in Osun State and Bishop David Oyedepo is from Omu-Aran, Kwara State.

jidxin:
Adeboye is from ijebu and oyedepo is from Kwara st

Instead of you to face your State and start holding your leaders accountable, you are carrying Tinubu's matter on your head like Brazilian hair.



Tinubu (Full name= Osun-tinu-Ibu-wa) is a old popular Yoruba name with many people from Kogi, Kwara, Osun,Oyo, Ogun and Lagos bearing it as surnames.( Type Tinubu on Facebook, you will see so many Tinubus).

It's just as funny as saying Okafor is an Anambra Surname.

nku5:
no wonder the man no wan make Lagos breathe small. Even changed his surname to Tinubu (Lagos indigene name)

That guy, MelesZenawi specializes in peddling falsehoods especially in ways that can stroke Yoruba-Igbo e-wars.

delpee:
Oyedepo is from Omu Aran in Kwara state. He has invested heavily in the town. Landmark University is there in addition to huge investments in agriculture among many other things.

The thread is NOT harmless at all but borne out of tribal bigotry and foolishness.


So you honestly believe that there is only one upstairs in Iragbiji ,the Headquarters of Boripe LGA?

Where is his evidence that Tinubu was born and grew up in Iragbiji apart from beer parlour gossip?

Did he give any credible evidence that Tinubu didn't bury his mum?



By the way what is his own with Tinubu? Even if Tinubu was born truly in Iragbiji, there are millions of people who don't go to their hometowns and why hasn't he opened a thread for each and every one of them to call them out?

*He who asserts must prove!

SLAP44:
And this one goes tribal. That's so unfortunate. In a harmless thread like this where the OP just wants the asiwaju to look at his roots you are trying to mix tribal issues with your response.

So unfortunate.

What stops Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Mazi Uche Ukachukwu, Hon. Chigozie Okafor and Lolo Stella Odua'h from pooling resources together, buy Ngakalagu Cement , expand it's operational base to become one of the largest cement companies in Africa?

hungryboy:
Dangote is involved in cement manufacturing business with very few competitors(Bua and lafarge) because you need very huge capital to set it up, majority of his wealth is in the cement division of his holdings, yes, he has gotten tax waivers and custom duty exemptions from Government, but he is not the only businessman given this favours.

Licenses have been issued by Government to so many businessmen to build refineries, very few have broke ground, na only Dangote were don almost finish him own, in a few years now, when he adds maybe $10b or more to his networth, una go begin cry say na Buhari give am monopoly to build refinery.

You guys like changing the narratives in order to appear as victims;


1) Obasanjo called all the importers of cement to a meeting and told them Nigeria couldn't continue to import cement.

2) He asked them to transform from importers of cement to manufacturer by applying for license to build cement Factories.

3) Many importers obtained the license but only BUA and Dangote finished their Cement manufacturing factories. Ibeto didn't during Obasanjo's time but wanted to continue importation of cement but the Government stopped all the importation.

4) Yar'Adua became president in 2007 and started reversing many of the economic policies of the proceeding Obasanjo administration, including lifting the ban on importation of cement which allowed Ibeto to be back in cement business.

5) I think Ibeto later completed his own Cement manufacturing company much more later after the ban was restored.

BiafraforTrump:
Is Jonathan Igbo?. You Yorubas can be foolish eeh, why did Obasanjo bring Ibeto down in the first place and you to turn around to shout your usual "victim mentality" crap.
Why not allow people move their businesses forward on a level playing ground than witch hunting ONE and expect subsequent regimes to lift him up, is that not pure foolishness sponsored by envy and wickedness.

There were

1) West African Larfarge Cement company, Ewekoro, Ogun State.

2) Nkalagu Cement Factory

3) Benue Cement Company, Gboko, Benue State.

4) Ashaka Cement Company, Gombe State.



In 2003, Dangote Industries Ltd, bought the Benue Cement Company and merged it with their newly built Obajana Cement Company, Obajana, Kogi State to form Dangote Cement PLC.

Iamgrey5:
Was there truly a monopoly in the cement industry too.

We had Lafarge(Elephant) in the Sw

North had one in Benue or so

And I believe one was also in the East.

In reality because of our Porous borders, no one ever enjoys Monopoly in Nigeria.

You people believe in peddling propaganda.

There is no business that Dangote is doing that he is the only one doing the business.

Bethel4Life:
Wo will forget how obj gave dangote the leeway to monopolize the cement industry by persecuting competitors and allowing tax cuts on dangote inports..

You haven't answered my question;

Is there any DNA that is ONLY among one tribe and can NOT be found elsewhere?



*One person doesn't make a tribe.

mrvitalis:
Google is your friend ... DNA can be traced to your great great great 12 generation father's tribe ...it's simple

Okay, what is the true picture?




Is there any DNA that is exclusive to a particular tribe and can NOT be found elsewhere?

mrvitalis:
Oga that's not true

Okay, you have won.

Feel free to believe whatever makes you happy!

vicenzo:
Ogori mangogo was never grouped as a Yoruba sub group at any time in history. They always maintained they were distinct. I know Ogori mangogo well, I have even been there.

2. Awolowo was Yoruba political leader when he was alive and his emergence helped nip Ijebu Yoruba denial on the bud.

3. Wars and persecution affect people self esteem leading to self denial. War divided Germany into East and West, the Manchurians started denying their identity with many of them claiming Han after the fall of China to British with the Han Chinese blaming the Manchurians for the fall.
So you are wrong. The persecution that post civil war Nigeria subjected Igbos under is the key driver of identity crisis in hitherto proud Igbo groups outside SE.

4. Ethnic groups might be man made, but common mother language and culture is not man made . Its a natural process.

5. True. Like many Akoko Ondo communities are actually Edoid speakers though claim Yoruba identity and speak Yoruba as a second language.

6. Hmm.

7. I disagree. You are not who you say you are, if not any one can wake up one day and claim to be a lawyer and enter court room to litigate?
Or I can wake up oneday and say that I am now Yoruba, that my ancestors migrated from Ife?

You can't wake up oneday and change your identity, because your identity doesn't exist in isolation, its connected to those around you.

The problem Ndiigbo has with Ikwerre identity is that for it to stand, they have to lie against Ndiigbo, they have to erase our own history by presenting us in the mould of empire builders who colonized them and imposed our language on them, or as supermen who has the powers to make a people to abandon their own mother tongue and take up our own just by merely interacting with them.
They have to toy with our intelligence by telling us they showed up here on Bini language when our ancestors told us they havd always been Igbo speaking.

The normal Igbo don't care about Ikwerre, problem is that Ikwerre identity as independent ethnicity cannot stand without them first of all distorting Igbo history and presenting Ndiigbo in bad light. Ikwerre nationalism is built on Igbophobia which starts with distortion of our ancestors history, and its in trying to challenge these historical distortions of Ikwerres against Ndiigbo that an independent onlooker get the feeling that Ndiigbo is forcing Ikwerre to be Igbo, when nothing could be farther from the truth.

There is no DNA that is exclusive to a particular tribe.

The most appropriate thing is that certain DNA components are more common among certain tribes in varying percentages.

The DNA profile of Ijaws will be more similar to that of the Ogonis and Ikwerres than that of Bachama people of Adamawa State.

mrvitalis:
Oga DNA analysis would show u your tribe ...it's no big issue

1) Obviously you don't know the Ogori-Mangogos. You can Google them or visit their Facebook page.

2) Awolowo was a great Politician but never the leader of the Yorubas.
Throughout his life, there were great Yoruba politicians who were not in the same political parties with him.

Awolowo had nothing to do with Awori.
He was from Ikenne, a small town in Remoland.

3) Civil War happens all over the world, it's not a pecular thing to Nigeria and don't define or change ethnic identities.

4) Ethnic groups are man-made groupings and are NOT grouped into water tight divisions.

5) Ethnic groups overlap in all parts of the world where people live in close proximity unlike in the desert or thick jungles where people live in isolated communities for long time.

6) Ethnic groups are NOT permanently fixed, they dissolve and evolve with time.

Where are the Biblical Jebbusites, the Hittites, Moabites and the Amonites now?

Where now are the Celts, Saxon, Anglos, the Vikings, the Vandals of Medieval Britain?

In 1256, there were no ethnic groups called Yoruba, Fulanis, Igbos or Hausa.

7) In the long run, ethnic groups are SELF identified groups. We are who we say we are.

vicenzo:
This is nonsense write up. Ogori mangogo has Yoruba components just as ethnic groups like Ugep, Okirika, Kalabari, Andoni, etc have Igbo components. But they have evolved independent language mixed with other ethnicities far more in proportion than few things they borrowed from Igbos, so Igbos don't claim them.

No linguist or anthropologist ever grouped the Ogori Mangogo as Yoruboid, let alone Yoruba.
They have never been claimed by the Igbos, not for once.

Stop obfuscating issues this Yoruba man. The Ikwerre Igbo issue in Yoruba land would have been perfectly mirrored by Ijebu vs Yoruba issue, if not for the emergence of Awolowo as Yoruba leader.
And if Yoruba ever fight war against Nigeria, the Ikwerre issue can be repeated with the Aworis as the target group.

Please replace the word 'denial' in this post with 'identification'


You can't determine for Ikwerres or any group of people what their identity should be, this is arrogance taken too far.



The Igbos- Ikwerres relationship have similarities in all parts of the world.

Have you seen Idomas coming online to always insist that Igedes are Idomas?

Have you seen Kanuris always coming online to insist that Mangawa are Kanuris?

How many times do you see Yorubas coming online to insist that Ogori-Mangogos must accept the Yoruba ethnic tag?

Do Ijaws always come online to claim Ogbia must accept Ijaw identity?

All these people decide for themselves where they belong and most easily accept the ethnic affiliations voluntarily with a minority sub-groups claiming otherwise.

I have seen one of my ex-students whose Surname is Ogunmola and whose family speak Yoruba Language naturally without learning it but said they aren't Yoruba and also not Ebira but simply on their own as Ogori-Mangogo.

kingzizzy:
So what is the difference between someone from Umuahia and some from Diobu in Ikwerre? They both speak Igbo and have Igbo surnames. If the only difference is denial then what it means that tribe based on acceptance or denial. In other words, if the Umuahia people decide tomorrow that they are not Igbo, then that means they are not. If the Ngwa man of Abia, the Nsukka man of Enugu, the Ezza man of Ebonyi all decide that they are not Igbo, then they are not because the only thing that separates them from Ikwerre is denial.

Being Igbo is not based on denial or acceptance, its all about your ancestral language and ancestral surname. Ikwerre people are just as Igbo as anybody else.

Most Communities that have existed side by side and INTERACTED for centuries will of course have similar DNA make up.

Many Igbos will show similar DNA structures to Idoma, Igala, Ijaw, Ibibio, Efiks etc.

Most Hausas also have DNA from Bolewa, KareKare, Fulanis and surrounding tribes.

Many Yoruba people have Bini,Nupe, Afemai, Fon and Ibariba ancesteries and this show similar DNA structures to these surrounding tribes.

mrvitalis:
Sure DNA would show who u are related to , mostly likely tribe and origin ....infact clan u migrated from ....is all science

Most black Americans can trace their root to their village with just DNA

The last one I read was about okrika ...showing them having 50% Igbo DNA

You have just buttressed my points.

*There are some clans that aren't ancenstrally related to the Nris but nevertheless accept the Igbo identity because they have the right to do.

*There are groups like Ikwerres and Ekpeyes who speak similar languages like Igbo but aren't ancenstrally related to the Nris and reject the Igbo tag because they have the right to do so.


Issues like this happens all over the world because ethnic groups are man-made creations and it's always difficult to decide where one ethnic group ends and where another one begins. For example,

Mangawa & Kanuri
Ogiri-Mangogo & Yoruba

Akoko-Edo &Edo& Yoruba

Igede & Idoma

Normally, members of political parties who move from one campaign rallies to another, canvass voters to vote for their parties and ensure that their parties are rigged out during elections are doing so with the aims of being rewarded when their parties win.


The forms of rewards can be through awards of contracts, political appointments, employments, allocations of high yielding shops in Publicly owned markets etc

Esseite:
How does one reward another by giving them work during elections, are they corpers, security personnel or lecturers?...

You should be rewarded by giving you the chance to loot?..

We the youths are just useless... we are dying gradually but still afraid to die..
