Na wa. Every tribes has it's first. The most bla bla bla. A Fulani man can easily make his own list same as the Yoruba's. The funny thing is while this may be is legit you expect people to 'counter' you. Isn't this complex issues, when you have to routinely do this stuff to prove your greatness. A king does not need to constantly remind people of who he is. Some of those thing are ridiculous btw. Most night clubs..most bungalow?? |

Omoluabi16:You can open a thread for your people. I mentioned igbos when i opened the thread. I don't know where the parasites came from to infect the thread. It is an igbo thread. I didn't open it for anybody. Now, please, can you explain to me why kids from the east should have the highest cut off point to be admitted into unity schools built with tax payers money. That is number 11 on the fact sheet. I got admission into federal government college Akure when i wanted to get into secondary school. I am so shocked and sad to find out that myself and other kids from the east were admitted on a different cut off point. I thought we all scored same or close. I am sure our parents didn't even know. 2 Likes |

Gforce2019: Indeed, only God will open the eyes of this generation of Yorubas to understand the truth behind the reality of your Lagos/country as regards the Igbos.(those truths are still with us today). Igbos are blessed. Your older generation knew it. Arewa know it. Other Nigerians know it. Igbos themselves know it.(Am not taking away Yoruba blessings or greatness..... but here Igbo is the focus). Creating or not creating their own Lagos came as a result of wicked and evil policies of previous governments (dominated by hausa-fulani/Yorubas with one single purpose, to stifle the Igbos because of firstly, envy made worst by Igbo's boastful nature/chest beating. ..... but should the above pettiness lead to destructive policies/genocide towards a group or are there other factors at play here?. Igbos don't want to be in Lagos. "They are in Lagos and other SW cities against their collective will", because you Yorubas in conspiracy with the North are doing #11 to them in the areas of infrastructural developments etc. The cut off marks in every aspect of Igbo man's life in Nigeria driving primarily by envy is unsustainable for Nigeria, Yorubas, Hausa-fulani, Igbos and others. Remove the above constraints, creat a level playing field imbibed into true democratic principal with merit based system, international airport/sea port in the SS/SE zones, you will quickly find out you Yorubas didn't actually created Lagos. Just as your older conspiring elders(who cannot exist without Igbos in their land) initiated policies that saw Igbos migrated in their droves to SW in order to develop it, so is your present generation cannot take their gaze off Igbo women. Only God can calculate the amount of wealth transfer going on from economically viable able bodied Yoruba men into the bossom of Igbo women. So you see, if you agree with the above stated facts, then the Lagos you lagosians created is fuidly fake, the Lagos the Igbos didn't create in the SE is by design. 3 Likes |

nwanyionitsha: First of all using the word parasite is an insult on your own brothers. This should never come from you. Secondly, which one is Igbo thread? When did that one start? This is tribalism. Why talk like that. I didn't see Igbo thread but Nigerian Thread. We are one Nigeria. Why are you sounding this way. Every tribe is great in Nigeria and that is why Nigeria is still standing tall among African countries. Since we are Nigerians then this thread is a Nigerian thread. The achievements talk more of Nigeria. Enugu was mentioned as a resilient city in 2014 as a Nigeria city in South East and not Igbo city. We know its in Igbo Land but our brag to the world is that it is in Nigeria. Its high time we became matured and desist from tribalism. Infact Nigeria's strength is rooted in its multi ethnical and cultural diversity. Imagine with what you have listed, if the Yorubas should list their own, Hausas/Fulanis should list their own, Efiks/Ibibios should list their own, Ijaws should list their own and so on what do you think will be said of Nigeria? People from other countries will respect the country and begin to shout our praises. Just imagine when other countries start seeing igbo achievements, yoruba achievements, hausa achievements etc their mentality about Nigeria will change they will know Nigerians are great. All tribal achievements are Nigeria achievement and you cant single out any tribe here. All the tribes have mingle to the extent that we have contributed to lands in Nigeria that are not even our own. So please just stop this and embrace the diversity God has blessed us with. |

Olumyco:Even African Americans have their own black achievement write ups and Ebony magazine. Nigeria isn't one. Stop the deceit. One Nigeria indeed and people are being disenfranchised of their voting rights in lagos. Some are made to have higher cut offs while some have catchment areas.

nwanyionitsha: Olisa Agbakoba too took them to court... The Federal Ministry of Education has said that the results of the 2017 National Common Entrance Examination can be accessed, contrary to the claim of some parents. This is just as the Federal Government has put the cut off mark of the examination at 126, while declaring 25,000 carrying capacities for the schools. https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/common-entrance-fg-releases-cut-off-mark/amp/ 1 Like |

nwanyionitsha: Yes we have disunity problem in the country. But is your thread created to breed more disunity in the country? I think we can't be using a vice to fight a vice and expect virtue to be born as a result. We should be known as problem solvers and not problem creators and contributors. So to me it is good to preach unity and oneness in the country as a virtue and not promote disunity which is a vice. Man will be remembered for two things in this world, the he solved and the ones he created. So what do you want to be remembered for? |

knowledgeable: About the cut off marks,it was done initially like that because a lot of Northerners were reluctant to go to school. Igbos,pls we must be our brothers' keeper.Let more Hausa/Fulani go to school and the boko haram like incidents will be banished totally from Nigeria.Even giving them 1 as cut off marks will not deter the South from excelling.South is the power house of Nigeria but pull him down,envy,suspicion,I know it all,bickerings,I am better and foolish negativities have continued to be the norms among them. Everybody except a few,knows that Igbo leaders removed the level playing ground in Nigeria and the North continues to enjoy what Nigerians are negatively disposed to now. Everybody was given a level playing ground during regional system.How did the Igbos fare? Lagos port was not built by Nigeria. Igbos are mainly traders and largely need a large population for their livelihood,so they will always move to where there is a large population. Yorubas were heavily discriminated against during Balewa/Azikiwe leadership but the Yorubas excelled more than anybody then and now. Yorubas have been in opposition(except when you all.....Hausas and Igbos..... brought in Obasanjo who favoured the Igbos more than any other just as Jonathan....Obasanjo's stooge continued the favour). Yorubas only came to the centre after decades when the economy was sick....Nigeria started borrowing money to pay workers etc since 2014. Most properties/ideas owned and developed by Yorubas....which worked for them....were turned to federal properties. Igbo leaders objected to secession,performed the first coup,removed federalism,introduced unitary system...which is killing Nigeria....etc. If Nigeria goes today,the SW will be one of the fastest growing economy in the world. The SE cannot stand alone because they generate one of the lowest IGRs in Nigeria.Trading does not grow the economy as does industry. Nigeria will continue like this if we do not eschew bickerings and come together to salvage it. As far as I know,Yorubas have never shown hatred,envy or whatever you call it to Igbos,they just like to be left alone and protect their collective interest.We were taught to accommodate good visitors because they will help you one way or another. Lastly,you can create a level playing ground for yourself if you think it does not exist.Yorubas did back then and built the first skyscraper, television,olympic swimming poo,best civil service,free education etc until Igbo leaders removed the beautiful playing ground and put this rocky one. 1 Like

StaffofOrayan:LIB is owned by an igbo woman. Many blogs and online forums are owned by different people from different races and tribes. I won't stop visiting any forum because of the tribal or racial origin of the owner. There isn't any big deal about owning a forum. There are many bigger forums and platforms and they don't make noise. You can get upset as much as you want.. You are not the owner of this forum and you are not his mouth piece. 4 Likes |
