Otherwise I’m in 100% agreement.

scholes0. I noticed you haven’t really said much as far as most populous tribe in Nigeria goes once it was established that Hausas are actually the smallest. You running out of ways to degrade Igbos?

bigfrancis21:
Igbos are not excessively sizable in most of those cities you mentioned because economic opportunities are not plentiful compared to Lagos (former nation's capital) where 6 or 7 out of 10 migrating Igbos would go to. That explains the difference.

You are yet to tell us, for the sake of history, why Oba Rilwan nearly peed in his pants over '5% Igbos' choosing to vote in Agbaje. The lion isn't scared of a cat, is it?

Aunty scholes0 is getting worked up like her twin sister sisiekoorioda....sorry ma o. But once again, 30% to 45% is more like it, ma.

I’m with you for the most part but calling someone female shouldn’t be used as an insult.

bigfrancis21:
I've been to Lagos a couple of times and I know what I observed. A proper census in Lagos will shock you.

There's a reason Oba Rilwan and Yoruba alike were shaky and scared when they thought Igbos would vote massively for Agbaje. They knew we had the population, coupled with SS groups, to topple the ruling class, for a free and fair election. Go figure.

Once again, anywhere between 30% to 45% is more like it.

Any official Nigerian censuses conducted by half-civilised people (aka non-Igbo haters) available for reading, you know?

Because most black peoples have a deeply rooted inferiority complex. And it’s not entirely without cause.

Bump. Bearing in mind that the real Hausa population (Fulani excluded) has been established around the order of 25 million.

bigfrancis21:
Lol, you need to understand that zodiac characteristics are not always 100% comprehensive to every one. At least 70% to 80% will apply to you and the rest may not due to influences from your environment, culture or even certain tendencies/habits a soul tends to develop over time from several past lifetimes. I'm a Libra male myself and at least 85% of what i've read about Librans on literally all zodiac websites apply to me. Some do not and this is because they may be more applicable to the writer of the article due to cultural or environmental difference between where I grew up and where they grew up.

Zodiac signs and their influences are real and tend to have a greater influence on people born under them. Depending on certain lessons a soul needs to learn in an upcoming lifetime, some souls choose to be born under a prevailing zodiac sign just for its influence that they need for that particular lifetime. Think about certain babies suddenly being born prematurely by a few weeks or a month early, or overstaying by a few weeks or a soul finding the perfect pregnant mother due for delivery in a zodiac month of their choice. There's quite a lot to this world than meets the eye.

Anyway, my 2 cents jare.

Libra huh. Happy birthday season.

Mmttccheeew...

Step out.

He’s into promotion of Igbo culture but he’s only a young guy, can’t be much older than 25. He takes certain elements to extremes at times but the kid’s good at what he does. Anyone else on here onto him?

Bumped. Taking all sorts of questions.

Horlaidex:
Crime doesn't pay.

Senseless crime doesn’t.

RedboneSmith:
Igbo women appear to have a long history of being... "headstrong" (for lack of a better word). From the powerful Umuokpu/Umuada to the Nwaobiala Movement of 1925 and the Women's War of 1929. There is a common trend.

They have always been assertive.

Imo State women in particular.

God bless Igbos.

bigfrancis21:
If you're respectful and co-operative when pulled over, you'd have little to no issues at all. For the few times I've been pulled over, i've never gotten a ticket. The officer always comes out with a warning (don't do it again), and I must admit that all those times I was pulled over, they were because I had been slightly over-speeding or I had switched lanes abruptly (trying to make it to an appointment) etc. I've never been pulled over while driving 'simply because i'm black'. Also, Nigerians understand very well that the police has power and they are doing their job so they defer to authority.

Also, I've noticed that my accent tends to help me also. On several occasions, upon walking to my window to speak I've noticed the officer's countenance as one of caution or fear but as soon as they hear my accent, they all tend to relax and become friendly. Been driving for several years now, never been ticketed for once.

Speaking akata Igbo now are you?

I don’t know how many Nairalanders are in need of specialised help but in here can go anything and everything allied to mental illness.

I’ll kick-start this topic by challenging some myths about psychiatry but like I say this is the thread to discuss mental health and illness. Ask your questions.

lonelydora:
Any age between 18 - 30 is ideal.

18.

Come see idiocy.

Black Brazil’s deeply rooted in Yoruba just as the same goes for Afro-Americans and Igbo. Whether we like it or not.

masseratti:
Wow, the Yoruba guys really took people trying to mock them to the cleaners on this thread, well lesson learned don't talk about others if you don't know much about them.

People from either side need to accept that we share foods in common’s the bottom line I’m trying to get across at least. I like a lot of Yoruba food putting aside the stereotypes. It’s never that deep.

9jakool:
Yes, you are right. It's the same thing but with different names.

I forgot to mention egusi ijebu, garri ijebu, and ikokore.

You got anything to say for traditional Oyo/Ibadan food 9jakool?

Nigeria’s got enough issues of her own.

fero007:
here in the west, they believe it strongly

Yoruba people whose egusi can’t even pass Hausa’s own.

People from either of the main sides need to allow their attitude of superioriry and learn that common soups and words are share between Igbo and Yoruba because we share the same Igbotic root.

And either way Igbos do better justice to egusi soup than westerners ever can. Tell your Eko and Ibadan squad to stick to gbegiri and ewedu. Your egusi’s so rank I wouldn’t even let a dog eat it. You people are absolutely useless when it comes to real ofes. Have your party jollof rice and your efo riro stew but your egusi is jokes. That’s a fact.

fero007:
it's like you are yoruba, what makes u guys so sure the soup originated from the west

It’s only on this Nairaland that I’ve heard that claim.

Christistruth00:
Egusi soup is “confirmed”Yoruba Soup , before it went global.

It’s shared between Igbos and Yorubas.

And Igbo style trumps Lukumi style any day of the week.

bedspread:
U Lack Understanding of your Life and Living Bro... Make haste so u Don't Destroy urself

What is that?

bedspread:
So Disgusting to see men on skirt!!

Including your ancestors and Jesus himself, right?

Ignorance has spread like a plague in this silly, forsaken country.

IrepChrist:
But why are dey wearing skirt?







Jesus is our MENTOR and model.

Jesus wore skirts in his time.

bidak:
None of them.. How can men be wearing skirt

They did pretty much universally until trousers were invented only a century or two back.

And so did your ancestors before the white man came. And so do traditional village men.

It’s funny watching you people hang onto Eurocentric dress codes that have been in existence some 200 years.

naijacentric:
Are dey gay because i dont understand wat dis pix message means

Skirts are traditional gear for men and women all over the world. Trousers are only a recent innovation. Did you know that?

Obalufon:
thanks i will give it a try i will know if i'm monkey or not as whites claim

If you were you’d be imbecilic though wouldn’t you. Always give yourself more credit than that.

Obalufon:
So I'm dumb? ..IQ test is not parrot knowledge people boast about garbage in garbage out that makes our well educated youths see no wrong in white man's dehumanization of black race . IQ test is pure logic based on white man's reasoning .. where can i get the real deal IQ test.i know for sure i can't score less than 100 despite my little academic knowledge

Unless it’s standardised by Mensa IQ tests are useless.

100’s bang on average as far as IQ goes and there’s only a select few countries that can boast of an average IQ reaching into triple digits. Nigeria’s not one of them (unless you’re Igbo).

[quote author=TheVerdict post=70226281][/quote]That’s not exactly true though is it. Jellof rice has been cooked in Igboland since time immemorial. And mai-mai.

The rest of Nigeria know these things as jollof rice and moin-moin through the Yorubas. But jellof rice and mai-mai are as Igbotic as food comes.

Stay in your Yoruba lane when it comes to shared foods.

Emmy2009:
I'm good at cooking or should i say i dey try. But no matter how i try to fry my beef it doesnt actually taste like the fried beef shared in ceremonies like burial and marriage. Please is there a special something added to the meat or is there a procedure i am not following.

Add a drop of Wright’s liquid smoke if you can get your hands on it. Applewood flavour.
