Those brown roofs again? From Oyo, to Ibadan, to Ogbomosho, to Abeokuta, to Egbaland, to Ife, to Ekiti, and to Ondo, it's brown roofs all the way. Lagos is the only exception and that is because it is 50% Igbo dominated

Another name for South West is private infrastructural poverty

Igbos and lies since time immemorial! Igbos are less than 11% of Lagos population, Yorubas make up 50% & other make up the balance, as per brown roofs; I have lived in Igbo land & I known how backward they are. Your roofs are far worse than that of other regions but when you want to talk you keep beating your chest whereas you are bush people. Yorubas live in towns and villages apart from cities but you Igbos live in settlements and small villages were all the buildings can be counted in few minutes.

Foundation of some few shops & he is posting pictures when his other mates are into very meaniful projects not posting pictures of substandard foundations of shops that ordinary local developers can build; this is one of the reasons Ekiti is the least developed State in Yoruba Land.

Lusola15:
I don't think this is even 5% of what they have

You just said my mind & these weapons may be the least sophisticated of what they have. Who be MUMU.

princdebola201:

bushdoc9919:
One non -Igbo colleague of my dad was once scammed by someone he trusted....and that chap was fromhis tribe.

Scammers exist everywhere.

True, every tribe have bad representatives but a tribe have it more than others.

Linqsz:
The media should get this right for once;
It is AYE and not AIYE ,which means African Youths Evolution.

No be Yoruba something oh!

Its an Edo thing & its Aiye but their member may correct my spelling if am wrong.

Popular Nigerian musician, Dapo Oyebanji, better known as D’banj, has revealed his willingness to still work with his estranged producer, Don Jazzy.

He spoke weeks after he blamed Dr Sid as masterminding the break-up of the Mo Hits Crew which had brought him together with Don Jazzy.

Speaking in a recent interview on Olisa Adibua’s chat show, The Truth,

D’banj said: “I know that everyone wants me and Don Jazzy to work together again and I think there is a possibility of that happening, if the price is right.

I bumped into Don Jazzy in America and we discussed the possibility of a reunion, a business reunion.

Don Jazzy told me that it would have to be for the right money for that to ever happen.”

The energetic performer, who not long ago celebrated his 10th anniversary as an entertainer, insisted that he had had great success since leaving Mo’Hits contrary to public perception that his career suffered most from the split.

He maintained that he has won awards, traveled the world, had the most downloaded song in 2013 and reached the point where he wanted to “expand and do something new”.

D’banj, who said the fact that he hasn’t been spending all his time in Nigeria has not made him less successful, denied reports that his new song, Feeling the Nigga was written for Akon and that he made a cameo appearance in it.

The artiste explained that notwithstanding the fact that he featured Akon in the remix of the song, “both songs are mine”

Old twisted news.

The lawyer is a big disgrace to humanity.

Imagine 20 of this kind in Benue.

this is why NIGERIA CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER WAR.

Arms proliferation has become terribly uncontrollable.

It means that this guy and his team can wipe out an entire village in one night.

The arms in Niger Delta and South East is shocking and OPC is not left out.

they have all embarked on arms racketeering and pile up since military era.

Militia groups in Nigeria are armed with the major ones heavily armed, I laugh when some people say a particular militia group is armed with Dane guns; they don't know that some groups are better armed than the Niger Delta militants but they will never reveal it to the public because the government will go after them. When Boko Haram issue started, some people were saying that Niger Delta militants should be allowed to finish them; I laughed in Swahili and argued that Boko Haram fighters are better trained, better armed and better motivated than the Niger Delta militants and this is evident today. I just thank God that God is helping the government to suppress this groups one after the other. Finally if I must say, that if another civil war occur ( God forbid ) it will be brief but more deadly than the previous one and the outcome will be the same, so far those alliances of the first civil war remain the same to a large extent; we don't need another civil war as thousands if not millions of precious lives will be lost; On which side will one fight when I have hausa friends, some igbos are my blood relatives, my ancestral root is Edo and I am Yoruba? It complex and I think it is madness to think of going to war against another tribe in Nigeria, its sheer madness! As we are all one in one way or another.

People in these communities better start going around with proper identification documents because soldiers and the police are known to always revenge the killings of their own, those I pity are the known touts, hemp smokers and those without proper identification because they may be killed in revenge attack. People should not venture out every early in the day & very late at night or else they will have themselves to blame.

Saraki trying very hard to win our heart's, though he knows that he messed up big time, he should just summon courage to do the right thing so that i can play B ball with him instead he being the lone ranger.

In many places in Igboland, the python is regarded as a ‘sacred being’ which no one is expected to kill, harm or maltreat. It is an age-long observance because to most Igbo communities, Eke or python is seen as the symbol of the sea or river goddess. It protects and provides for the people, both in terms of wealth, fertility and long life. To the people, eke is a harmless ‘being’ and it is actually harmless to those who do not kill it. To them, eke symbolises peace, prosperity and abundance, especially in the waters.

At Umuohi, Okija, in Ihiala local government area of Anambra state, a man called Ukata Nnanna in an interview gave a clearer picture of why the eke has come to be regarded as being so sacred and in some places is worshipped as a goddess.

"The story of eke we have here is sacred and different. But before we go on, it is good to point out that the mystery surrounding eke is greater than most of us can actually understand. Our own case is quite peculiar. In the olden days, our people used to provide shelter for strangers. This was how the issue of eke became a symbol of respect and regards here in our village", Nnanna said, grinning and shaking his head repeatedly.

"There was one certain aged widow who was said to have been driven away by her husband people. She set out on a journey, a journey she did not know where it would take her. When she got to Umuohi, Okija, she stopped and begged our people to provide a place for her to rest her feet. She was by then too tired to continue on her way.

"Our people did not only give her a place to settle down, she was also asked to remain with us. Without knowing it, our people had given shelter and hope to a woman with plenty of mysterious powers. Before the woman died she made a lot of promises to our people. In the first place she asked that her house be built by the riverside. No one knew why she made that sort of request. But then at her death she decreed that no Umuohi woman should be maltreated by her husband people. And wherever she is married to, on the first night of her arrival, a python would appear to encourage and strengthen her. To date, this situation still exists; that once an Umuohi woman is being threatened at her husband’s place, a python appears, sometimes a very big one that would frighten people out of their wits. For this reason, a lot of people are sceptical about marrying an Umuohi woman.

"The woman did not even die. She turned into eke. She lives inside the Okpu stream or if you like river, which is along Owerri-Onitsha road, Anambra state. There you can see this big python and it comes out once the sun is out to suntan. This is what it does everyday. It is so huge that a lot of people are scared of it," Nnanna stressed. "But we the Umuohi people are not," he boasted.

The python which is called eke ogwugwu-mili therefore is said to be the mother of all the pythons that litter the length and breath of Igboland. Today, anyone who kills or maims eke either knowingly or unknowingly is compelled to buy all the necessary materials with which to bury it. These range from white cloth, to coffin, kola nuts, white chalk and so on. The coffin would be placed in a conspicuous place where passers-by are wont to pay condolences and show some sign of remorse. Where one fails to bury the eke in the traditional way, more stringent punishments will be placed on him and members of his family. Sometimes he would be ostracised or banished from the land depending on the circumstances of the death of the python. Some even have small pox sickness placed on them.

It is because of all these that eke does not bite the natives of Okija and other places where these observances are made. If eke bites one by error, all it does is to hiss, and then the bite will have no effect on the person. Even then, Christians also obey the law; they too do not kill eke. Why would anyone kill it when it does not harm him? Some people would often ask. Eke is a common sight in many places in Igboland where they are at liberty to crawl without let or hindrance. There is the eke Idemili (for Idemili, river). There is also eke Ogba which is supposed to be the king of all the pythons. That one lives inside huge forests and so has no contact with human civilization.

Each area gives the eke a name according to what it does for them and the deity it represents. For some, it is eke atamili’ or eke nkwo ocha, all in the name of what place it has in their communal lifestyle and existence. Today at Umuohi, Okija, eke still remains their symbol, some kind of rallying point. And you are not expected to treat their daughters with disdain and disrespect.

Told you Igbos are the most fetish people in Nigeria but they will keep trying to portray the Yorubas as fetish.Yes some Yoruba people are fetish but almost all Igbos are fetish.

EMANY01:
I made this post on a different thread and i will say it again:

I like the protocol that the Niger delta activists have adopted beginning their agitation with an IMPASSIONED REASONABLE NON-THREATENING FACTUAL AND INTELLECTUAL manner.

The world needs to see that this is our first recourse in pursuing this matter .
The south west with its now arrogant control of most of the news outlets and multi media platforms would have loved the struggle to begin right out of the gate with violence then they would spin the story to all the world to support their long running narrative that multinational investments of any kind is only logical safe and guaranteed in the south west.

I can almost guarantee now that the next card they will play is to spin up disagreements between the different subgroups within the Niger Delta as to who gets what then spinning the story that internal struggles within various groups within the NG makes the entire location nonviable for investments.

Any South South or South East person who does not see the entrenched INSTITUTIONAL DUPLICITY of the south west by now is much more of a bigger fool than our parents were and you know i wouldn't call the old folks fools so much as i would call them extremely naive which coming right after the civil war might seem understandable.

I will spell it out in RED so there is no mistake about my meaning:
[size=15pt] THE SOUTHWEST IS DOING AND HAS BEEN DOING FOR DECADES WHAT THE NORTH HAS BEEN/AND IS DOING IN POLITICS:APPROPRIATE TO THEMSELVES EVERY OR ALMOST EVERY PLAN/OPPORTUNITY FOR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND INVESTMENT WHERE ITS POSSIBLE.[/size]

They (south west) have learned to use the media as a tool/weapon effectively so watch as they will seek to discredit the arguments presented by the agitators and where they cant logically defeat the case made by the agitators (a most likely scenario), they will do two things:

[1]Kill and bury any and every story of the issues raised and seek to bar it from the realm of National discourse and where that approach fails

[2]The media sections controlled by the southwest will massively turn their attention to the South South and to a lesser extent , the South East :every gunshot , every death , every confrontation between the security agencies and whoever , will be reported in great detail a pipeline will not burst without it being in the news circle for at least a week.Strategically and psychologically, the image they will try to evoke is of a region in chaos or precariously close to it.Not the place any right thinking business big or small local or international would want to invest in, regardless of the resource base or the advantages it has.

Some people are too subjective and are more of a tribalist and these have affected their way of reasoning correctly; The South west media reports majorly the wrongs that happen in the South west so that it can be corrected, while other regions don't do such as they rather try to remove the dust in South west eye rather than removing the log of wood in their own eyes. The main reason why the South west is developing is 1. The foundation put in place by its leaders. 2. That is the most accommodating region in Nigeria, 3. They are slow to anger( they don't start destroying other tribes properties after every disagreement) 4. They have the best gate way to the sea. 5.Education etc. I can keep going on & on but due to time, I will say that it is very difficult for someone to really make great success if you keep holding to the past as such a person will keep getting into trouble one way or the other. Your past should be a motivation to a great future; it shouldn't stand as a barrier.

Mogidi:
Imagine the employment opportunities we're being denied by siting this project in Lagos.

But companies are being milked dry in the Niger Delta as you have to pay the community certain amount mostly in millions, you have to employ people from that community who are mostly not qualified for any position, the community dictates how much you must pay them, most of the people from the community don't contribute anything to the growth of the company as they don't come to work and when they come, its usually for some few days in a month. The same people take company secret to their people who will come once in a while to seal up the company premises hereby using it to ask for more money; I am by root a Niger deltan but from the Yoruba side and a professional who work in the Niger Delta for years, so I understand what companies are going through and this is why most companies will rather stay out of the Niger Delta if they have the opportunity. If the Niger Delta can change their attitude then there would be improvement but till then; they don't have a choice as some investment would be taken outside this region.

lol, weren't some igbo masquerades caught and arrested in Enugu some 2 weeks ago for highway robbery?

I have lived in the East and I got to see that they are the most fetish tribe in Nigeria, they have shrines all over the place even in market places.

alcmene:
They are the masters when it comes to idol worshiping

In Yoruba land it is restricted but in you area it's openly down as huts where idols are kept for you worship are all over the place even in market places. I have lived in the East so I know what am talking about.

CHESSBOARD:
They have been doing it in Yoruba land thinking other places are the same

where in Yoruba land? Ilorin I assume? If its the case of Ilorin then you missed it has the Yoruba warrior betrayed his own people by forming an alliance with his Fulani friend who later overthrew him & other Yorubas didn't bother to help him because he was a betrayer.

Fourwinds:
to be sincere I'm angry with my Delta brothers and sisters. in ur own state people are terrorising u. y can not u people look for guns and ammunition to battle. I know very well dat dese fulani idi..ots must have smuggered arms to Delta state to harrass d villagers. until u stand up to them dey will not learn. Tompolo and Asari Dokubo this is when u are needed must.. save ur peoole from d herdsmen

Fulanis are more dangerous than 20,000 Tompolo & 100,000 Asari Dokunbo combined, if you attack them they won't stop until they kill everyone in that community; they're are heartless. They only fear 2 or 3 other tribes, they the fulanis will keep coming to attack that community and the surrounding communities: the Igbo community being attacked should take it up with the CP and the state government as soon as possible before it gets out of hand but if they believe they can get help to defeat the fulanis on their own, then they can try but they should know that the fulans can continue fighting for years. See jos & Benue as case study.
