PROVE IT !, if you can't you lie.

Beaf is right. It is a joint effort between retardeen's FG and Fashola's corrupt govt, supervised of course and as usual, by a competent representative from
The smart People's Republic of China

Thank God there is a "chinko" around to supervise all these dumb home based Nigerians.

solaceguy: this person did not attend RUN, and d person that said d writer has good vocabs is obviously a graduate of a sub-standard university. Emerole is a Professor and not a doctor. he was the first 1st-class-in-biochemistry graduate in nigeria. I saw many other lies you told about RUN, #Godiswatchingyou ....btw d past tense of 'Dive' is 'Dove' and not 'dived'

London (CNN) -- Weddings in Nigeria are colorful, creative and extravagant productions, with guest lists of up to 2,000 people considered standard.
"In England, if you had 400 people at a wedding, that would be considered a huge number," bridalwear and couture designer Yemi Osunkoya said.
"In Nigeria, if you had 400 guests, people would say 'Oh, dear,' " he continues. "The more (people) you have there, the more friends it seems you have."

Yemi Osunkoyah, designer for Kosibah

Osunkoya should know. With his wedding gowns highly sought-after by Nigerian brides, he attends about 15 of his clients' weddings in Nigeria each year, and his London-based label, Kosibah, is at the heart of that country's booming wedding industry. Last month, it was one of 129 businesses exhibiting at Lagos' Wed Expo exhibition, which drew 10,000 attendees over two days.

"I would say weddings are one of the fastest growing industries in Nigeria right now," said the event's organizer, Akin Eso. "A lot of people term it that they're 'going into events' -- but the money is really in the wedding industry."
The publisher of Wed magazine, a wedding-focused title that launched in Nigeria last year, Eso said the typical Nigerian wedding has evolved in recent years into a high-concept "production."

"There's always been this joy around weddings, but now there's also this whole creativity: It's more like a production, and nobody knows where it's going to stop," he said. "People just imagine it and make it happen."
Themes such as a "snow wedding" would involve decorating the entire hall to match the concept, he said.

"Ten years back, you would normally do all the arrangements for the wedding yourself or with your friend," he said. "Now, for every aspect of the wedding there's a vendor that can help you."

The trend has been driven by the many young Nigerians living overseas, who had introduced ambitious ideas for wedding themes, along with the concept of the wedding planner: a professional event organizer who could realize the happy couple's vision for their big day, typically at their parents' expense.
Osunkoya said families typically put much effort and expense into the event, as a wedding was an important status symbol -- although "not in a negative way."
"It's showing how well you've done, and for the bride and groom, this is their time," he said.
"Most times in Nigeria, the parents take care of the wedding -- and there are many weddings where it's just a blank check," he said. "It s a thing of joy to have your children married, so most of the time, the parents want to go all out. That's where you see total creativity."
UK-based makeup artist Lola Ibekwe caters specifically to Nigerian weddings and has been hired by brides who fly her, all expenses paid, to Nigeria for their weddings.

She said, "Nigerian brides really know what they want and demand the very best. Some of them have been influenced by the big weddings of Hollywood stars and don't mind spending big to achieve the perfect look on their big day. Most of the brides I work with reserve a big part of their budget for makeup because the pictures will last a lifetime."

Timbuktu's treasure at risk from armed uprising
There are two parts to a Nigerian wedding, Osunkoya explained. The first ceremony was the "traditional wedding," sometimes also referred to as the engagement. This was typically attended by fewer guests -- only family and close friends -- and may be held in area that one of the couple originally hailed from.
The couple would wear traditional dress, with the bride usually wearing a traditional fabric gifted to her by her new parents-in-law, sometimes sewn into a modern Afrocentric design.

The second, "white wedding" -- with a guest list at the reception potentially running into the thousands -- could follow days or even months later. For this, the bride would wear a white bridal gown and the bridal party formal attire. The most popular time of year for weddings was in December, when expatriate Nigerians return from abroad and can face a schedule of weddings seven days a week.

Another distinctive feature of the Nigerian wedding was the wearing of "aso-ebi." The phrase, which translates from the Yoruba language as "clothes of the family," refers to the garments of matching fabric worn by the bride's family and friends at the ceremony.
"You've got 2,000 people there, so it's a way of spotting people you're meant to be with," said Osunkoya. Although, in recent years, it is not uncommon to see the entire party wearing the aso-ebi.

While there are occasional grumbles that the trend for elaborate weddings had gone too far, nobody seems to mind on the day. "Not everyone is equal or has access to the same amount of wealth, but everyone aspires to it," Osunkoya said.

So what?

He who dares wins. Simplicita.

icon aus: Yoruba show us the proof of being accomodating.

Read the article. Thats the proof. It was written by a non-Yoruba. What more do you need?

Does lagos represent yoruba tribe in all ramifications?

Yes. Lagos is Yoruba and Yoruba is Lagos. You cannot separate the two.

What is the evidence that yorubas are more accodating in osun, ekiti, ondo oyo the core yoruba states .

Because most of the Yorubas living in Lagos are from the states you mentioned. You may or may not be well educated, but if you read the article again, slowly this time around, the answer to your stupidddd question will come to you.

Lagos looks so because it was the capital city for ages.

Meaning?

Yorubas will smile at you and stab you in the back how does this atribute depicts hospitality?

. . .Because hospitality is about "smiling at you and stabbing you in the back." Simples!

The topic is totally uncalled for[b] as i hate associating my self with Lagos[/b] .

You dont have to. All we are asking for is that you and your ever-whining lazy brothers leave us the fuk alone. Is that too much to ask for?

Lagos is shame to Nigeria .4th worse city to live in the whole world.

Whare are you from? The fact that Lagos was ranked at all makes me proud. One wonders why your state of origin was not ranked . . .

A documentary about lagos shown in Australia was an eye sore and an embarrasment to Nigerian citizens residing there.

Wait until they do a documentary about your state, you might want to start thinking of how you'd describe it when your Otokoto shrines are finally shown on TV for the world to see how wicked and backward you guys are.

Lagos is the epicentre of suffering in the whole Nigeria

It wasnt always like that when Yorubas were the only people inhabiting the place . . .

In a different angle. Are we not one Nigeria ?

Yes we are one Nigeria, but we all have different surnames. Its time each person start answering hin papa name. If you are Chukudi or Emeka or Okoro or Nwokocha you do not belong in Lagos. Period!

why the noise about accomodating ?

No one is making any noise. We are just here setting records straight.

is such said about cities like NY, sydney, los angeles etc .

Meaning?

I would say that the people who migrate most are the most accomodating given that they will always feel safe as visitors much as they will protect people in their own domain. People who migrate less are scared of being maltreated by their hosts since they maltreat (e.g area boys and yoruba land lord in lagos) their visitors. This the fact .

You have the logic upside down.

Odenigbo Aroli:

Be smart,dude !! Maybe you should say non-Igbo south south !! Are you the owner of this organization? If the answer is NO which I am sure it is then you should go back to the farm and keep chewing grasses untiil you hear MR. DUNDEE ZOMBIE then you can come out !

Kind of. The owner of this forum is Yoruba, which makes every Yoruba part owners of this great forum. So again, I reiterate, GTFOH. GO here: www.igbolandforum.com

Bandit C.:


No..only when you change this one to yorubalandforum.com. The word naira does not belong to you but it is expected of yorubas whose greatest feats include stealing what does not belong to them.

You just dont wanna leave us alone . . . hun?

You hate us so much, yet you dont want to leave us alone. very typical of you guys in RL . . . always running to the SW. Yoruba/SW can do without the rest of Nigeria, however, the rest of Nigeria cannot survive without the Yoruba people/intelligentsia. We are the fabric holding the country together, in real life and online.

agiboma: Yeahhh dbanj i love the song

But I love your p/u/n//y more

Odenigbo Aroli:

I am so sorry but I didnt know that this was strictly for yorubas !!

Now you know. Do the right thing, go join your fellow sicktards on : www.igbolandforum.com


Now run and leave NL for Yoruba people and friends of Yoruba people like the SS, ND, Hausa/Fulani, Ghanaian and everybody but the dorty Ibos

Attahemma: I disagree with u cos if a yoruba man kw dat u re a stranger nd can t speak his language, he device every method 2 ensure dat he exploit u. 4 dia gals is de worse, u cant friend dem if u re nt a yoruba.

Thats good to hear. Yoruba gals should be for Yoruba guys only. Dont dilute our DNA

Chinom:

If it's always been about geography and demography,then the Red Indians still own the entire USA and Canada. Get real, Bro.

That is a historical fact!

bashr8: my point is that igbos move to other parts of nigeria as much as yorubas move to other other parts of nigeria , yorubas move to portharcourt as much as igbos move to lagos thats my point.

The Yoruba people in PH are expats. Most of them are doing well in the SW before moving to PH. The Ibos on the other hand move to the SW for the proverbial greener pastures, just the way Nigerians move to the UK and US for higher living standards. You need to pay attention to details.

Enoquin: It's not so hard to believe that few men can sit on their backside without doing anything for years. I once knew a man who did such and his was more than 10years. We moved to that neighborhood in 1996 and till after my service in 2010...the man didn't move his butt. I became aware of him when after my secondary school while going for jamb lessons, I usually saw him every morning with the same tee shirt and three quarters day in, day out.
Of course, after the wife came complaining/seeking advice from my mum about the man's stance on wanting another child (a male) since she had two females; my mum had to lie to the man that the wife's health wouldn't allow her take in.
This woman was the breadwinner, she gave the man pocket money each morning before going out to wherever she went to each morning, pay the rent, pay her children's school fees and still come home to cook for everyone. First time meeting the woman, one would think her too bitter except one hears her story...the woman died of hepatitis and brain tumor (according to what I heard) in 2010, she was buried in the a very cheap coffin because family and friends had contributed heavily to keep her alive. Her two daughters have been split, one with the church pastor and the other with the mother's best friend. The mother was her parents' only child. The man is in the village and is working as a school teacher in one of the village schools. Then when everyone begged him to work,his wife, the church people, his friends, the wife's family....he refused claiming to hate menial tasks...
A woman that stays at home for 8 years cannot be compared with a man that does, because a woman at home will take care of the house and kids but a man at home will nearly kill the woman of stress...haba! She is the help mate and not the care-taker, I bet the man does not help out with house chores...perhaps that is why she needs a maid for when the children come back from school

Is that you for real or Photoshop?

bashr8: of course yorubas wont fight with igbos just as igbos dont go about fighting people ,but yorubas sure have done a lot of fighting with hausa fulanis from lagos to ibadan to ogun

Yoruba people arent cowards anymore?

bashr8: another idiot, post the population of 5 states in the south east and 5 in the south west plus lagos and rivers and tell me how you came to the conclusion that we come to your region , olodo.

whats your point exactly? That Yoruba people troop to Alaigbo for better life or that Yoruba people are belligerent & violent prone, making their abode unsafe for prosperity and growth?

Olodo oshi.

Chinom: I don't know why you people always make such issues an Igbo vs Yoruba issue. Maybe because both tribes are most active on NL. But are guys aware that the sea port that made Lagos what it is today are in the hands of Dangote, Isyaku Rabiu, Ibru and to a lesser extent Ibeto. The first 3 are not Igbos. The Lagos question has gone way beyond the Yorubas. The yoruba claim is nothing but Geography.

It has always been about geography and demography. I am surprised it took you this long to realize that.

Now retreat to the vulgar sewer hole you came out of

stillwater: Very true. Nobody can take it from them. Credits should be given to whom it's due. The Yoruba miscreants on NL like dayokanu are not the face of the Yoruba people. Yorubas are very accommodating.

nice t/i/t/s, is you a call girl?

^^^ Musiwa, are you part of Illuminati?

Leave, get a rich man and enjoy your life.

Tinubu must be paying this guy really well. He is doing his hardest to keep his plum job it seems.

jason123:

I agree. Only the Igbos will drop their language to adopt the host's language! Nice one Ndigbo!

They have no choice.
