Isahalbash:
OLUWA is a Yoruba word for God while NAGODE is Hausa word for " thank." D combo mean " God I thank you."

So Seun is Yoruba? I saw his name is Oluwaseun

genieluv:
yaaah, Ishalbash is not hausa n neither am i nor nowenuse. We only speak hausa cos hausa is the lingua franca of most of northern Nigeria.
>>>> yaah, hausa population tends to be exaggerated cos of the fact that it has become a 2nd language to most northern nigerians of other ethnic groups, so the entire northern Nigeria is sometimes classified as Hausa.

Dangote is a Hausa or a Hausa of fulani ancestry (a hausanized fulani).

That is serious

genieluv:
Yaaah, holly this was a colonial problem. The British colonialists in a desire for administrative convenience decided to classify all Nigeria into 3 major ethnic groups. Hausa, yoruba n Igbo. The minority groups were all expected to fall under one of the classifications.
>>> This led to the absolute domination & control of minority groups by majorities, not until independence when democracy n creation of states started giving we minority groups a voice
Unfortunately, this old system had already wrought some irreversible damages to some minority groups, which may never be recovered.

If only the domination had led to a unique Nigerian national identity as opposed to fragmented ethnic identities.

Muafrika2:
They just won a court case against eviction from the May forest.

Seriously I thought they had long been swallowed. Seems they have a few thousand remaining. Glad they won their court case, at least they can now protect their heritage. But they hardly speak their language

NairobiWalker:
Thank you dear! I'm glad you noticed. I share it with Che Guevara and Donald Trump!

What a contrast, Che Vs Trump

9jakool:
Yes! There are some tensions. Take for example, many Hausa have settled in indigine(minority groups) towns and cities which has created tension in the past. In many instances, like during the Jos riots, the conflicts often take on a religious dimension because some ethnic groups are predominantly muslim and others are predominantly christians, and some have more religious diversity.

Another form of tension that often takes place in the rural area between farmers who are the indigene of the land and Fulani herdsmen who are nomadic pastoralists. Many of the conflicts can be attributed to land/grazing rights. Some of the tension arose because the animals of the Fulanis often graze and temper near or over the farmer's field. This toxic mix leads to violence in some instances.

There are similar, though rare occurrences of the same in Kenya as highlighted

Muafrika2:
That Pokot warrior

Sadly, he's saying the truth. But the surrounding communities are tired of being beaten too. They think arming themselves is the solution, Their brand new guns will be Pokot owned very soon.

How hard it is to modernize people peacefully! Sometimes I think those guys should be forcefully modernized like colonized and forced to school

fanficgirl:
This is what an Angolan told me . This has nothing to do with not being able to attribute sucess to Africans, but the reality on ground.

What did the Angolan tell you?

PissedYagami:
Kenya Power has launched a Sh13.2 billion project to lay underground cables in Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa, expected to stabilise electricity supply in the three cities.

The electricity distributor on Tuesday said implementation of its terrestrial network cabling in Nairobi is 20 per cent done.

The underground cables will provide alternative supply to existing power substations.

Currently, 22 kilometres of the planned 25.71 kilometres of 66kV transmission lines is complete, while installation works on the Likoni Road substation is finalised and pre-commissioning test is ongoing.

Kenya Power acting CEO Ken Tarus said fibre network cables will also run along the underground cables to boost communication network as well.

Seems I am behind the news. What happened to their CEO that they have an acting one?

May be that's because of the constant evictions, stating with the colonialists.

Nowenuse:
It has led to extremely bloody conflicts and the religious polarization of Jos city.

Its just the availability of opportunity. The Turkanas in the North have become a headache to the oil companies demanding to be employed.

BTW .. Those people will become politically louder than our Luos in future

These wars are usually just a matter of survival. We are just recovering from a dry season. They just need options.
