Who/What is JowiZaza? GODPUNISHALABI: |
What of the new generation of Southerners? HedwigesMaduro: |
What I know for certain is that in Yoruba culture, if a pregnant dies during labour without delivering her baby, she won't be buried with the baby. Both the pregnant woman and the unborn baby must be buried separately. They had 'native surgeons' that will cut the woman's abdomen and bring the baby out and sometimes, the babies may still be alive. |
Prof Ibrahim Agboola Gambari is the CoS. Owaincouncil: |
The Oracle has spoken! [quote author= post=89956376]When I told ignorant minds that Famfa own by Alakija isn't into oil exploration they will be arguing, claiming audio richest woman in Africa , check the table the only woman in oil exploration in Nigeria is Uju Ifejika owner of Brittania U, Uju Ifejika is the richest she is just playing cool[/quote]

The Candidate (not regions) that have the backing of the largest power blocks win the tickets of each politucal party. AhoadaRivers: |
That's not exactly true. They are many people that are in between male and female genders (intersex) MejiLoyon: |
Is this the best answer you think of? AwkaFinest: |
This is how you fail exams in School. The question didn't ask about tribes and who loves who or the need for people of the Niger-Delta to HATE the Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis. fugarlion: |
Excuse me bros, who was arrested? RuudVanNisteroy: |
And this post was written by one of the 'educated citizens of Nigeria' ??Just look like the level of reasoning of this guy ![]() Pentagon007: |
What brought Aba and Enugu into this discussion about the development of Or Town? Are Enugu and Aba in the same State with Ore? What exactly is the basis of comparison? Must every city be like Enugu and Aba? Igbochief001: |
Where did he say Western Nigeria? Western media can mean Western European and Northern American media EsomahJD: |
Gov Wike is not a Yoruba man, the guy he was responding to is not a Yoruba man and the discussion happened on Twitter which is neither owned or controlled by the Yorubas. What exactly brought Yorubas into this matter sir? There are over 300 tribes in Nigeria. You didn't mention anyone of these tribes, why this fixation on Yorubas? EsomahJD: |
Excuse me sir, What brought Yoruba into this matter? Is Twitter also a Yoruba media? EsomahJD: |
From THE SAME BOX BabaRamota1980: |
It's funny o. People can die by mistake, people can eat something by mistake and people can have sex by mistake. A man that is drunk for instance can have sex with the wrong lady (a good example) PrincessJr: |
Tribalists like you always spoil every thread on this forum. Each State post it's IGR and you are here accusing the Yorubas. Are Rivers, FCT, Kano and Kaduna States also Yoruba States? Internally generated revenues (IGR) has more to do with level of TAXATION by each State Government. It has nothing to do with tribes and less to do with wealth . Asgard13: |
Although I don't participate in inter-tribal e-wars but your analogy is syllogically defective because of the following reasons; 1) The Emir of Ilorin is just one man out of the millions of people in Kwara State. Just like we can't say the Fulanis are the dominant ethnic group in Nigeria because Buhari, Yar'Adua, Shagari and Murtalar Muhammad are Fulanis. 2) Ilorin is not exactly the same as Kwara State. DrGoodman: |
You guys are weaned on propaganda and like to deliberately resort to peddling falsehoods in your narratives about Biafra, one major reason why Biafran collapsed and it's not likely to succeed. God detests the use of falsehoods to achieve any means. 1) Awolowo NEVER collected Igbo money. 2) Igbos withdrew their money from banks and moved their movable properties, headed to Eastern Region. 3) On getting to the Eastern Region, Biafran Government under Ojukwu asked them to submit their money in exchange for Biafran Pounds. 4) Biafran Army looted the CBN vault in Benin and Calabar and used Nigerian money to buy arms. 5) Nigeria changed it's currency during the civil war so that Biafrans having Nigerian currency couldn't come to Nigeria to exchange it and the money became worthless. 6) After the civil war, Biafran Pounds ceased to be a Legal tender in any Country in the World and nobody was willing to accept it as a valid money. 7) Igbos with Biafran Pounds were demanding that Nigeria should give them Nigerian currency in exchange for Biafran Pounds! This is like someone asking you to give him #500 MTN card while he pays you back with the old #500 NITEL card when NITEL no longer exist and it's card is now worthless. Awolowo was never the Head of State during and after the civil.He couldn't have singlehandedly made a post war policy, moresoever that he resigned from the Government shortly after that civil war in 1971. hammerP: |
Get your facts right sir. 1) A significant portion of both Chad and Niger Republics lie mainly within the Sahara Desert which is hardly habitable let alone support huge population. Northern Nigeria lies within the Sahel with much better rainfall and fertile land than both Niger and Chad. 2) Saudi Arabia lies in the desert and because of the wealth from her crude oil sales, it has entered Stage-4 in the 'Demographic Transition'. Polygamy is less practiced in Saudi Arabia than the North. Polygamy predated the religion of Islam and it's not exclusive for Muslims, only that the Islamic religion is not oppose to it unlike Pentecostal Christianity/Western culture that now demonize it.

If resource control is implemented SUDDENLY in 2020, it will lead to national crisis. Only about 12 States will be able to cope (the first 5 largest oil producing States will do very well). About 24 States will face serious economic crisis that each State will reduce it workforce to just about 1000 people. There will be massive emigration from Most States into Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Ondo,Lagos and Imo States in an unprecedented rate while many citizens from Osun, Kogi, Anambra, Enugu, Kwara etc will find all means to leave the country, even if it's to Togo, Cameroon or Ghana. Lagos, Rivers and Cross River States will demand for 'Financial resource control' of revenues from their seaports. After about the first two years, the Governments of each non-oil producing States will start imposing heavy taxes on the few items that their States produce for the oil producing States e.g the smallest cattle from Kano, Katsina or Yobe State will be about #300,000. Eggs and Timber from Osun State will become very expensive. Yams from Benue States being sold in Rivers or Edo State will be like #1000 per tuber. Ondo and Osun States will go back to Massive cocoa Farming. Kano, Katsina, Sokoto will commence massive cultivation of Cotton, groundnuts, Onions, Tomatoes for exportation. Corruption and crimes rates in the non-oil producing States will reduce drastically because money will be so scarce and the electorates will transfer alot of aggression onto their Governors and politicians. 90% of the Governors will not win their re-election. Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB will become less popular and Biafra agitations will fizzle out. Gov Wike will become more dictatorial and proud to the extent that he will suggest that fences will be erected around the boundaries of Rivers State and other oil producing States will support this suggestion and will want to try it. If the inconveniences are well managed with maturity, after about 5-7 years, we will all get over it and the country will be better of it. If the inconveniences are not well managed, it can lead to change in Government or even civil war/disintegration. Coldie: |
Biafra will NOT be surrounded by Nigieria as there will not be any Nigeria again. Nigeria can not break into just two Countries- Biafra and Nigeria but into several smaller Countries. Coldie: |
The guy is correct. I have lived with them before in the North. Most people in the N/West are actually hybrid of Hausa and Fulani with small traces of other indigenous tribes. In the N/west, it's only the Migrant Fulani clans that live in the 'Bush' that hasn't mixed with their host significantly. In Adamawa, Taraba and Gombe States where the surrounding tribes are non-muslims, there is no much cultural assimilation and as such you can find pure Fulani people in these areas. meolaniyi: |
Thanks for this contribution. I thought many people may not understand it if I wrote that Awolowo was the 'Leader of Government Business in Western Region' from 1951-1954 and then Premier of Western Region till 1959. Dedetwo: |
Eeyah, see what frustrations has caused naw! [quote author= post=89811119]Very tribalistic bunch of people[/quote]
|
Awolowo was Premier between 1951-1959 during the colonial era. He had resigned as Premier of Western Region three years before the 1963 referendum. It's now over 30 years that Awolowo died, please move on and make your life better. Cheers. successmatters: |
And what's the big deal in this post? European Kingdoms fought greater and more destructive wars against each other for longer periods. The various Greek City States waged wars against each other. The City State of Sparta nearly anhilated the City State of Athens. The Germanic States; Prussia, Austria and Bavaria fought brutal wars against each other until the dissolutions of the Holy Roman Empire of the German People and formation of the German Confederacy of the Rhine. The events of the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire led to the First World war. The various English Kings/Houses fought bitter civil war. The Season film 'A game of thrones' was largely inspired by the rivalry between The House of Lancaster (The Lannisters) Vs The House of York (The Starks). In the Middle East, the Banu Hashem, The Al-Rashid, The Al-Hussein and Al-Saud fought bitter wars that led the Hashemites being routed out of their ancestrial homes in Mecca to establish the royal Dynasties in Iraq, Syria and Jordan. The ultimate victory after two hundred years of internecine warfare of the Al-Saud led to the formation of Mamluk Al-Saudiya Al-Arabiya a.k.a The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. # Summary: What happened in Yorubaland in the 18th-19th century also happen in other parts of the civilized world. Only primitive tribal societies whose political organizations didn't evolve beyond the village level with no known great kingdoms or Empire and Standing Armies didn't pass through such stages. [quote author= post=89820496]was there a Yoruba nation/ consciousness before 1950? Did the sub-nationalities, namely, the Ijebus, the Ijeshas, the Ekiti, the Oyo, Egbas, and Egbados among others see themselves as one people? No! As Ade Ajayi and Samuel Akintoye rightly observed, “By 1800, though the Yoruba, were one people they were not always conscious of themselves as such” (emphasis mine). There were sub-national rivalries among the peoples of western Nigerian. Beginning from the 1800 onwards, the old Oyo was under pressure from the Fulanis in the north and Dahomey hordes from the west against a much earlier rebellion by General Afonja. The threat of the Ilorin forces led to an exodus of the peoples of old Oyo mainly southwards. This led to the emergence of new settlements, namely, Ibadan, Ijaye and Abeokuta among others. Sub-national rivalries further engendered the sixteen years war (1877-1893) in which the Ibadan and Ekitiparapo, Ijebu, and Egba forces were major players which ended with British pacification of yorubaland. From 1861 British took control of the Lagos colony and subsequently the entire south west. Without British colonization, it is probable, as indicated by the shifting alliances and treaties, that the Yoruba people would have on the basis of treaty evolved into multiple nation-states as a parallel to the Westphalia Treaty of 1648 which resolved the thirty years war in Europe.[/quote] |
I think someone close to this man needs to watch him closely. Use all these negative energy that you are using online to peddle propaganda against a whole ethnic group to improve your life. All your efforts can NOT detract from the greatness of the Yoruba ethnic group. 1) The majority of the people (89.1%) voted to have their own State. QED 2) Was 'Voting against Yorubas' on the ballot? 3) Did the people of Abia State hate the People of Old Imo State when they demanded for their own State? 4) Does it mean the people of Enugu State were against the people of Anambra when they demanded to be given their own State. Is self determination to gain autonomy equal to HATRED? [quote author= post=89806546]89.1 % from mid-west voted against western region, well in excess of the required 60% [/quote] |
The whole broadcast is based on TOXIC TRIBALISM whipping up hatred against other Nigerians without any clear cut strategic plan to uplift the Igbo people or even ensure the success of the restoration of Biafra. |
