PoliticsRe: Why Buhari Wants Islamic Books Included In Federal Schools’ Curriculum by phyllosilicate(m): 2:17pm On Aug 04, 2015
People would always look for faults in Buhari. Islamic religious studies and Christian religious studies are taught in schools. This books are to be added to Islamic religious studies curriculum.
People that are complaining are like Art students complaining that two chemistry books would be added to secondary school curriculum.

It is unfair to compare the votes the North gave to GEJ in 2011 to that the SE gave to Buhari in 2015. In 2011 the whole north gave GEJ 8 million votes.

You always rush to comment on front page, yet never have anything useful or intelligent to say. First of all, are you a businessman?
What's the difference between conventional banking and Islamic banking? What are the advantages of Islamic banking over conventional banking?
How is Islam a problem in this country? You call Nigeria a zoo, what does that make you? When did Nigeria become a zoo? After your principal GEJ lost elections?

Take advantage of the luxury of the internet you enjoy in this modern world to train and develop yourself, rather than spreading hate and ignorance just to gain likes and mentions. Fucking idiot.
if the bank gives him an interest free lone, will he reject it.

CultureRe: Biafra Shocker!!! Sunday Oliseh Refused To Be called Igbo!!! See 0:35 - 0:40 by phyllosilicate(m): 11:12pm On Aug 02, 2015
bayooooooo:
Well, the real issue is not what Sunday Oliseh calls himself(I think he is in a best position to know who he is ) but what others perceive him to be. I think most non-Ika-speaking people would, on first instinct, call him Igbo. I have always thought He's Igbo but I can now see I was clearly wrong. I guess most Nigerians from the North, on first instinct, would categorize such names as Omatseye, Omatsola, Omawunmi, Omajuwa, Omagbemi, Oritsemeyiwa, Oritsemodupe, Oritsejafor, etc as Yoruba. It's only people from part of the South who understand the nuances that can actually differentiate and thus properly categorize the names as Itsekiri.

It's a bit difficult for me to call someone who bears Ogochukwu, something other than Igbo. Based on this stereotype, he would have benefited from being perceived to be Igbo but also suffered from similar perception in some circumstances. That may explain while some, who are not as bold as Sunday oliseh, present different faces to different people. When they thought their perceived Igboness would be helpful, they claimed Igbo. Otherwise, they claimed something different.

The real problem lies with people who treat them based on what they perceived them to be without giving them a chance to define themselves. Thus a man could be favored or punished for who he is not. That's the problem of double identity and part of Nigeria's complexities.

In this Small-Big intra-linguistic identity schism, the more successful the larger group becomes, the less the likelihood it claims the smaller one but paradoxically, the more the smaller one craves to be identified with the bigger group. The identity crisis is thus, in a way, a product of brand management. Since they can choose to be either A or B, it comes down to just one question: Do I gain or lose more by being seen as A or B?
You nailed it.

CHM11:
And igbo is a tribe right? That's the problem, you guys just keep ridiculing people, where they are from and what they choose to call themselves.
I am from urhobo, I font go to edo state to call my etsako sister an urhobo woman because our language look alike, or call the isoko man an urhobo even though we speak almost same language.
The yorubas have not come to delta to Lord over the itsekiris cos their language is like yoruba...the Benin have not come to lord over the urhobos cos we bear names that look alike....

Just learn to respect other people and what/where they are from and people will learn to live in peace with u.

If he says he is Ika, who are you to tell him that Ika is not a tribe?....there are pockets of yorubalike speaking tribes in Edo and Delta, the yorubas respect these tribes as akoko edo and itsekiris respectively. If someone comes and tells you that he is Ika and not igbo, respect him as an ika man just as he respects u as an igbo man. You don't have to insult and curse him for telling you that he is Ika and not igbo.
Seriously, I don't blame them. All this things you have said can best be understood by people that come from Edo and Delta state. Even yorubas find it difficult to understand. I have met severally yorubas calling benis yurubas and using the world Oba has a prove. Most people find it difficult to understand why benin is small while the benin empire was vast. If you see it from their perspective, you would understand them.
