FrankLampard:
I didn't called anybody stupid, I will never do that.

But why are the Yoruba's, Hausa/Fulani claiming Niger Deltas Oil in Niger Delta soil.

I never said you called anyone stupid



The federal government is the one claiming oil and not Yorubas or Hausa nor Fulanis


And the federal government consists of all the tribes in Nigeria


All the best to you

miky2002:
And what is reperculsion of not being submissive? I case you don't know! It is perish... We Yorubas are submissive that is why we're on top of you guys...

Check out all the countries that were colonized and check the countries that are not?

See the difference.

Because you were submissive, you subjected us all to slavery.

LIE CLOCK!!!...(Laffmatazz)
Stella Obasanjo died and went to heaven ... As she stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly gates, She saw a huge wall of clocks behind her...
She asked, "What are all those clocks For?" St Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks... Everyone on earth has a Lie-Clock.
Every time you lie, the hands on your clock will move." "Oh," said Stella, "whose clock is that?"
"That's Bishop Ajayi Crowther's. The hands have never moved, indicating that he never told a lie."
"Incredible," said Stella. "And whose is that one?"
St Peter responded, "That's Nnamdi Azikwe's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Zik told only two lies in his entire life."
"Where's my husband, Obasanjo's clock?" asked
Stella. "Obasanjo's clock is in the Angel's office. He's using it as a ceiling fan, its rotating with high speed:
What of Lai Mohammed's?: His own clock is being upgraded to be used as a Helicopter rotor blades for its incredible speed!!!

Yam and Okra did not originate from Nigeria. It is just like saying tomato originates from Nigeria as well.

Educating

There are some lies in there e.g. Patience Jonathan does not have a PhD from UNIPORT.

AuthorX:
#4. Can not be correct. I can assure you that no Nigerian or Nigerian of Igbo origin lives in any of these remote island nations with populations of about (or less than 10,000) :

(1) Vanautu
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanuatu

(2) Nauru
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nauru

(3) Tuvalu
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvalu

and there are a few other such countries, where no Nigerians live in. Don't get carried away by the popular Nigerian nuances.

I met a Nigerian who plays football at a club in Fiji Islands, he moved to Fiji from Vanuatu. After asking how he knew about the pacific islands, he told me quite an adventure only Robinson Crusoe would be familiar with.
Now I don't know about Nauru or Tuvalu, but his presence in Vanuatu speaks volumes about Nigerians and violent migration.
By the way, he is Igbo.

Patience doesn't have a PhD but an honorary PhD much much different

Patience Jonathan does not have a PhD but an honorary degree from a South Korean University and Benjamin Nnamdi Azikiwe never ruled Nigeria. He was just a ceremonial (figurehead) president.
