In as much as I detest this APC led administration.

Yes, its true.

Sowore behaves like a content creator

maasoap:
I'm interested in knowing why he is interested in Oyo state and not his state or Abuja or Lagos, or even in areas with pipelines.

Oyo is not the only state he is doing it. He donated 57 vehicles in LAGOS same day.

He has done same for Kano and many other Northern states

All the struggles, calculations and sleepless nights to make life easy and worth living, only to be snatched away at any time

I wonder how the ethnic warriors will feel over here in Nigeria, considering that they always draw their swords when people outside of their regions represents them.

Here is a Nigerian girl representing Britain in far away land

Lamasta:
Our star girl, my lovely crush Tobi the next outing should be a gold medal

We all praying for that, but Russel is in the form of her life presently.

She has been at it for one year now, and looks like she will even get better. Her closing speed is terrific

Luckysbab:
The construction of this article leaves the reader confused.

How many finals took place exactly?

Did she compete in separate finals with the American and Bahamian?

Semi final against the Bahamian - Tobi came second.

Final against Masai Russell the American - Tobi came second and pocketed 75k dollars.

The Bahamian that beat her in the semi final came fourth in the final while Tobi came second.

Final:

1. Russel - USA
2. Amusan - Nigeria
3. Forgotten her name
4. Devinne Charlton - Bahamas

Let me advise you. It's not all the time you jump into defense of tinubu. Sometimes It's best you keep silent, this is one of such occasions. This Your comment makes absolutely no sense.

I always wonder how you guys are able to put up with that guy, and even respond to him.

Since Buhari's government, that guy say nothing else than nonsense all the time.

His comment that you responded to makes absolutely no sense

So president and his vice weren't in the country at the same time?

Yes na, as usual. Their people said there is nothing wrong

There is nothing special in the skill. I can post five videos of white people doing the same. The people are not professionals, just ordinary folk like you and me. I won't. If you want to see similar, Youtube is available.

You don't get him, do you?

You are making it look like it is an innate ability of oyinbo people.

Now, you are talking about 5 videos of oyinbos doing it when the average population of oyinbos is over a billion.

It is not a random thing that your beloved oyinbos do. For the ones you have seen doing it, they learned and practiced hard over time to master it just like this black kid is doing.

If you think it is not special, can you do it? Or your understanding of what is special and what not is only when oyinbos are involved?

PoliteActivist:
Who told you? It is reciprocal

"It is reciprocal"

That is what they tell you on paper, and that is what they want you to believe but it is not.

Nigeria always only get the short end of the stick when dealing with countries like the US, France, the UK.

They will not extradite their citizens to Nigeria to face prosecution.
I'm even surprised you actually believe they will because it is suppose to be reciprocal.

Good one.

But the issue is, the US will not allow their citizen to be extradited to Nigeria to serve punishment.
It is particularly very interesting that the Attorney General appealed the case after the Federal High Court rejected the extradition application.

The US get whatever they want from us.

For the Ijesa

There are between 350 and 400 settlements with at least four over 50k in population and the biggest one is Ilesa a well known city in Africa.
Osogbo is an Ijesa founded city and the royal family is Ijesa, the land is also contiguous with the rest of Ijesa. The title of Deji of Akure was inaugurated by Ijesa though not the city itself. The Ijesa founded Lagos Island alongside the Benin and the present dynasty is descended from the Ijesa priest that accompanied them etc etc.

If there is an Ijesa country today and Osogbo is added to it then the population today will be around 3 million.

If there is an Ijaw country what will be the population and which cities are the major cities? That is the real thing that matters

If there is say an Igala country today, the population will be around 4 million or over and that is not small by any means. Their towns include Idah, Ayangba, Ankpa etc. They are enough by Nigerian standards to have 3 senators.

Can you do the same analysis for Ijaw?

Kogi including Igala have probably the most scattered indigenes in Nigeria. Nigeria scattered them by giving them shortage in state creation. Ijesa too is the same

A huge percentage of Kogi indigenes including Igala don't even live on their land explaining why I have encountered many of them

From data available and assuming all Nigerians from different states sit for the UTME at the same rate and given the fact 2,243,816 students sat for the UTME across the country in 2026 then Kogi state deserves only 0.75 states if shared by residents and around 1.5 states if shared by indigenes if the total number of states is 36

Have a good day my friend.

This your new response is even worse than the former ones. I say so with respect to your person.

Even the Ijaw clans of Kalabari, Okrika, Ibani, Abua etc in Rivers alone will dwarf whatever you are pointing to in this your absurd response.

Again, we are done with the back and forth.

Have a good afternoon sir

Atheistan:
Which one is "took them to the beach for the first time in their lifes." Dem never see coastline before..
Also which one is ghetto kids.. still projecting Africans as underprivileged.

Ghetto Kids is their group name, so no problem with that.

But I certainly have a problem with "took them to the beach first time in their lives". That is nonsense, like beach is some life prolonging place that she needs to announce in her comment.
It is even more nonsense because the group "ghetto kids" are not new or some random group.
They've previously competed in talent shows in several countries, from the UK to several other countries, so what they did with Shakira is not new to them. It is just at a bigger stage.

Giving all of that and with their experience with travels and meeting celebrities, adding that she took them to the beach for the first time in their lives is not only unnecessary but pure nonsense

olat45:
Physiotherapist are not MASSEUSE please as they're health care professionals involve in functional restoration, pain alleviation of patientswith varying medical and surgical conditions amenable to physiotherapy

Bro, I don't understand what you are explaining.

Physiotherapists do massages too.

You can say they are more professional with a bigger view, influence and wider expertise in clinical therapy than ordinary masseuse.
But they equally do massages

Exousiang01:
Are you expecting the physio's to do their work in his office?

If a news report came out saying he had a therapy session in his office, you will be out there shouting.

You must be a terrible person.

So physios now do their work while being naked?? In a private residence?

My concern is that staff of Federal University of Health Sciences, seconded to Ministry of Works, and working inside Dave Umahi's house.

She is a Physiotherapist, was she massaging Dave Umahi as Ministry of Works assignment or doing Federal University of Health Science internship in Dave Umahi's house.

So the Federal Ministry of Works place of work also extends to Dave Umahi's private residence

Mix race is black 4 ur info

He doesn't know na.

Even one percent of black makes him black.

Timijo:
You can keep hiding your hatred behind the love for African football. Nobody cares. Keep making excuses as you cry me a river.

You accuse Argentina of racism as if Egypt is a saint. See, this thread was created to discuss the match, not to discuss racism. So, if you are honest with yourself, create a thread for your silly claim and then we can discuss that. It will interest you to know that no country is not guilty of racism.

That's how they behave. When they run out of what to say to diminish Messi, they begin to conjure up anything and everything.

Have you not seen them adopting Mbappe now

Una go just the lie unprovoked, which Liverpool football club was built with slave trade money?

Yes. Liverpool football club was built with slave trade money

lawani:
Why people don't agree with all this is you can hardly meet a Nigerian who has met more Ijaw than Akwa cross people or more Ijaw than Urhobo people and etc Which big city in Nigeria is under Ijaw control? I have never met an Ijaw person in Osun state. I have met maybe three Ijaws in total. One random student in OAU whose name I can't remember. He was my senior. One young man from Bayelsa who was a student at a private poly in Ife and a lady I met in 2001 or so when I was on IT in Owerri. Compare Igala. I have met 4 Igalas. One was my classmate at OAU, one a bus driver in Ilesa, one a fruit vendor in Lagos, one worked with me in Lekki. I think one MOPOL posted to the company I was at in Lekki is also Igala making five. There was also another that was our guard for a while in Ilesa, from his language he would be Igala making six

From your story, there is proof that you are not an ordinary person but someone that has gained knowledge from academic training.

Now, seeing you base proof of population on the number of Ijaw people, Urhobo, Igala, Ibibios you have personally seen is very shocking to me.

My long message that you responded to ordinarily should have discouraged this line of thought but no, you came back with more absurdity.

But lemme indulge you.

I have seen and met more Idoma people than I have meet Ibibio people despite the fact I am from the South-South but live in the South-West. By your logic, should I conclude that Idoma people are more than Ibibios?

I see you are even comparing Urhobo to Ijaws. I am actually tired.

Thank you.

But lemme tell you. You seeing Ibibios may not be unconnected to them popularly doing menial jobs outside their area - like house help, sales girls, cooking and all that.

Lemme go to your southwest. Ijaws are not just in your southwest. They don't reside in the southwest like the few Ibibios you said you have seen, in some, Ijaws are actually part of the structure of the state. They are aborigines in Ondo State with their local government and kingdoms. That is one state out of the six.

In Lagos, you don't just see Ijaws like you see Ibibios one or two at a place scattered. There are actually concentration of Ijaw areas.
I mean almost full communities of Ijaws concentrated at a place, from around Ikorodu, to Èbúté Mẹta axis, to Ojo, Badagry etc.

Then in Ogun State, the same thing.

They may not be so much in Osun State and Ekiti like they are fully concentrated elsewhere. So your basis for claiming Ibibio or Urhobo may be more than Ijaw is still faulty.

Are you aware that the Ijaw kingdom of Bille people are part of the structure of Adamawa state. Like Ijaw people who are indigenes of Adamawa.

Again, the only and official source of population data in Nigeria is the National Population Commission, and their data from the 2006 census makes Ijaw the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria.
Until there is another record from them, there is nothing you can do even if your feelings tell you otherwise

victoryenergy:
Then give us your own statistics to back your claim, because the only real ijaw state is bayelsa, and they have only 8 local government, though the ijaws are scattered all over the south mostly riverine areas, but if you look at their main base which is bayelsa, you can do your maths from there.

don't forget only eight local government, why ibibios occupies over 23 local government out of 31 local government in akwa ibom state, and they are also in every part of Nigeria.

I don't have time for this sir. Especially if your statistics is based on number of local governments.

Kano has 44 local government areas. Lagos has 20 local government area. Oyo State state has 33 local government areas. Your Ákwá Ibom has 31 local government area.

By your above logic, Kano, Oyo and Akwa Ibom etc are all more populated than Lagos since they all have almost twice the number of local governments Lagos have.
Is Ákwá Ibom more populated than Lagos since it has 31 LGA while Lagos has 20 LGA?

You are calculating number of local governments as metric for your population figure and mentioning only Bayelsa, that it has only 8 local governments. That is a very pedestrian logic for me especially since using that as proof of population.

Who told you Ijaws are only in Bayelsa?
Even in your Akwa Ibom, Ijaws are in about two local governments.
In Rivers, Ijaws have 11 exclusive local governments while sharing another two with Ikwere and others.
In Delta State, Ijaws are in 6 local governments and are the majority in Delta South.
In Edo, Ijaws are in 3 local governments of Edo South.
In Ondo State, Ijaws are in 3 local governments.

Though it means nothing in statistics but you see that even in the nonsense count of local governments as a proof of population, Ijaws still have more than Ibibios.

Finally, since you asked for a source, that I should bring my own even when you did not provide anything credible.

Go and check the National Population Commission census records of 2006. Ijaw is the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

National Population Commission is the only credible population data source in Nigeria.
If you disagree with them too, then I don't have anything to help you with again.

Maybe you will go and conduct your own census across Nigeria and publish the figures.

Very daring.

His advisers should tell him not to. He can stay far away and leverage technology to give the advise

victoryenergy:
Ibibios are the fourth largest tribe in Nigeria, but so many Nigerians won't agree.

No, they are not.

Ijaws are.

The reason "many Nigerians" in your own words don't agree is because they are not.

You are using your emotions to generate statistical data, and that is not how it works

The USA is always intentional about their country and people in every activity, no matter how unpopular

Celebrate with husband..which one be white husband

Like, it is so ridiculous.

White husband.

If it is reversed and someone said Peterson celebrated anniversary with his Black Wife.
I wonder how that would have looked to them, including the person that wrote the nonsensical title.

Some Nigerians still celebrating white skin like a gift. Pathetic

These guys obviously look at Nigerians as fools.

Backdated letter to cover for their impunity. And he also decided to hold onto the minority leadership position until now

Which of the PDP

Is it Wike PDP or Makinde PDP

Even I who know of someone called Appeal Court (Apili for short) am amazed at your list. Surely you are joking about Aeroplane ✈️

No, I am not joking about Aeroplane.

Hon. Brodrick Aeroplane is the chairman of Ezebiri Community in Bomadi LGA Delta State.

All the ones I listed are people I know, not just the ones I have heard

I used to hear comedians use it in jokes I never really knew it was actually a name.


A had a neighbor one time in kaduna... one of the son's name was pikin I asked if it was a nickname or alias. They said no, real name.


For the most unusual names though hand the trophy to the Delta and bayelsa ijaws

Those ones can answer anything. And how can I forget my plateau people. Pan, rang and so many Chinese sounding names.


Someone made a joke about them dropping a plate at the birth of a child and naming the child after the sound the plate made when it hit the ground!

That undisputed title belongs to Ijaw people
No try am.
Ijaw people bear anything and everything as name whether in English or in the native language. You'll hear:

Lagos
Urban
Asset
Fullpower
Goodhead
Machine
Nigeria
Ghana
Aeroplane
Government
Famous
Accra
Navy
Light
New-world
Newman
Dijay
Barbar
Welcome
Christmas
London

Think-of-me
Water-owei
Courtkiri - (Courtyard) Ijaw people have names that Ijaw and English is joined together. They can add "ere" and "owei" to the end of any English name they want to identify female and male.


It is endless

If you can't see the common theme that Arabs and Jews see your race as a lesser, inferior race, then I can't help you.

Exactly, that is the point and that is what you should be talking about but you deciding to go about creating a false equivalence. Trying to be smart by half.

Your initial comment did not carry any point of Arabs seeing blacks as a lesser and inferior race until I called you out.

This report don't have anything to do with Jews. The report is about Arabs racially abusing a black man. Face that squarely and stop trying to deflect attention
