It is okay. If the yorubas do anything about it, wouldn't they be accused of tribalism. And if they do not do anything about it, then they are cowards. Abeg, I want them to do NOTHING about it, personally. Moreover, it is a situation of ex-militants vs a village not the whole ijaw ethnic group vs the whole yoruba ethnic group. It is okay!

im in yankee-

the yorubas should not do anything leave it up to JTF/Law

these ijaw youths are thugs no different from the idiot thugs in america. in america if thug kills someone we know civilised people wont retaliate by murdering a whole neighborhood thats LOW and just uncivilised, barbaric, disgusting.

i would rather the yorubas do nothing and go about running thier schools, hospitals, business then bring themselves LOW. back in the 1966 when the ibos were being massacred in warri sapele benin asaba BY civilians, the yorubas CIVILIANS didnt join in. they left everything to the Armyand continued on with their lives. LAST THING YORUBA NEED IS TO BE DISTRACTED BY MILITANCY OR ETHNIC CONFLICT.  though im in america would NEVER send anyone in my family to retaliate militancy kidnapping and senseless ethnic clashes isnt OUR portion

[size=13pt]when we talk about rwanda are the Hutus braver than the tutsis because the hutus chose. or in sudan are the Afro arabs braver than the blacks?

it baffles me HALF OF THESE GUYS ON HERE ARE IN UK/AMERICA. If a black american/Brit kills their father they will not go to the ghettos of Brooklyn or South or SE london and start killing  everyone in that ghetto neighborhood. LOL[/size]

[size=13pt]which ibo person dey talk of fulani in ibadan no let me post the subject about fulani in Anambra and imo where all the babes who where raped died of one disease or another.[/size]

Nigeria is the yorubaman's play ground - Oil ours, schools ours, hospitals, Economic hub ours babes helen and dakore even general azazi daughta is being smashed by a yoruba.[b][/b]

Ijaw lol i dont even kno for deez people sef cause these youth have nothing to begin with, education no, Business no, even doctors no? their Oil is not even their. same with fulani I mean I DONT REALLY SEE A DIFFERENCE

Ozin:
Funny and Unfortunate.Fashola is all ACN can boast of!Just because of mere road repairs.My dear go to Akwa-Ibom and compare the achievement of the Governor there to what your Fashola has done

who d hell wants to go to akwa ibom if not for Oil and babes?

[size=13pt]ALL OTHER THIS NEW PAPER REPORT IS FALSE- i read other new paper reports on the SAME subject and non of the other ones said anything about GEJ being a fisherman.[/size]

i believe both GEJ and tinubus comments were made false and turned into something else.

alj harem1:
[size=18pt]who reads sun newspaper

there accounts are never accurate and most of there sources are from other newspaper[/size]

THEY ARE NEVER CORREWCT THE SAME ONES THAT SAID TINUBU SAID JONATHAN IS A FISHERMAN- when i looked at other articles it mentioned NOTHING about fishermen

debosky:
When did GEJ copyright the word rascal? Is he the only fisherman in naija? Abegi

if GEJ can foolishly claim he wasn't talking about ACN governors/leaders, then Tinubu wasn't referring to him.

jason123:
That is the point!

I wonder ohhh how ijaw become the only fishermen in WHOLE OF NIGERIA.

AND . .  i wonder what would make one think ACN is a regional party?

even if it was can you name any other southern party or even northern party as relevant as ACN?

i think not. but I like the SW as a regional party- if it goes national it loses its appeal to yur average SW person

if ACN get elected in other states and co . . . I wont like it anymore.

Beaf:
-GEJ

[size=14pt]What is so wrong with the statement above, except to fools?[/size]

Why a drug baron like Tinubu, whose mind is likely adled beyond measure should insult Niger Deltans is beyond me.
ACN is indeed a regional party that is not only small minded, but ethnically bigoted and led by rascals.

To Tinubu, Niger Deltans are drunken fishermen who venture on land to seek favours from "genuine" Nigerians; is there it any surprise that ACN is condemned to being a regional party with little consequence outside the SW? Has'nt anyone told Tinubu the incredibly obvious, that there is no Nigeria without the ND?
Ethnic bigotry is Nigeria's biggest problem. Tinubu stands condemned.

youre actually doing the same thing those who turned goodlucks statement into a tribalistic one.

I dont see whats tribalistic about tinubus comment or GEJ- considering I dont know any SW who doesNOT EAT fish and Aworis Ijebu Ilajes Okitipupas, ETC who dont fish themselves. or do you think there are no fisherMAN in the SW?

hahaha

jason123:
WELL SAID! It was the so called Yoruba man that imposed him on Nigerian. In fact, the SW was happy but now his statement was just politicised.

GEJ wasnt being tribalic and neither was tinubu- its just what some DUMB nigerian want to make us think. i mean Im sure you know the NUMEROUS yoruba peeps who eat FISH.  and thats what we are known for

THIS IS NOT A TRIBALISTIC POST-

but its funny

According to him, “in 2015, it will be free for all. Anybody from anywhere can go for it because we have said bye, bye to zoning in 2011. I don’t know what is wrong with Nigerians; you can’t blow hot and blow cold at the same time. If zoning is bad in 2011, it cannot be good in 2015.”

hahah @ "I don’t know what is wrong with Nigerians; you can’t blow hot and blow cold at the same time. If zoning is bad in 2011, it cannot be good in 2015.”

that had me rolling Laughing- atleast he didnt say it was zoned to the North I GIVE HIM THAT.

[size=13pt]Crack in Northern Leaders Forum, As Kanti Bello backs Jonathan, slams the forum [/size]

There appear to be a crack in the top echelon of the Northern Political Leaders Forum (NPLF), as some of them have broken ranks abandoning the agitation for a northern president.

The NPLF has top actors like Adamu Ciroma, Kanti Bello, Shetima Ali Munguno, and Lawal Keita.

These die hard advocates for a northern president had vowed that President Goodluck Jonathan, would be President come 2011, over their dead body, insisting that the zoning arrangement had to be respected.

Some of them who had used strings of very vile words to describe Jonathan’s resolve to run, had pressured Abubakar Atiku to head for the courts.

In a dramatic twist, one of the advocates, and an arrow head of the General Ibrahim Babangida’ s campaign, has jumped ship. He has abandoned the ‘northern president’ camp and teamed up with the Jonathan’s camp.

He said the agitation for an Igbo president in 2015 was a mirage, because, according to him, the whole arrangement went up in smoke with the emergence of Jonathan, a southerner.

In an exclusive interview with the Sunday sun Bello said “my opposition against Jonathan is nothing personal. It is based on principle. I see President Jonathan as a good man but my stand is he was part of an agreement that retained zoning in the PDP and he cannot now turn back to ditch the arrangement. It is based on morality that I made my position and I know that people understand me. That was my grouse, not because I am a tribalist.”

He however added, “Since my party has handed him the ticket, I cannot go against the wish of the party, I will work for PDP victory no matter what.” The Deputy Director General of IBB campaign Organisation, further slammed the NPLF led by former Finance Minister, Mallam Adamu Ciroma, for “messing up the agitation of the North to retain the Presidency in the zone for the next four years.”

According to him, “the choice of the NPLF as the consensus candidate was faulty ab initio. I have nothing against Atiku Abubakar. We’ve been members of the same political family for a long time and we share so many things in common. But his choice was wrong. He left the party and came back and we all knew that anyone coming back must be given a waiver. As at the time he was being named a consensus candidate, the party just gave him the waiver.

“But the issue is this, will you give a person you know will give you problem a waiver to come and slug it out with you? The answer obviously is no. Jonathan gave Atiku the waiver because they know he was not a threat and should he be picked they will have an easy ride. Unfortunately, the NPLF overlooked all those and picked him and the rest is now history.

 

“The agitation for a northern candidate fell flat the moment they picked Atiku. He didn’t enjoy the support of so many members of the party and it showed in the results. Apart from the manipulation, many people didn’t find it funny voting for him. I bet if it were to be that IBB was picked, the story won’t be what we are saying today.

“But my grouse is the NPLF messed all of us up. They were blowing hot before the primaries and now that Atiku failed, what is the backup plan they have? They are now very quiet and I find that strange. I would have thought they will have a backup plan in the event that Atiku failed to pick the ticket,” Kanti-Bello noted.

The senator, who expressed doubt over the pledge by the President not to contest the 2015 election said, “I doubt so much that promise; If you look the other way in the matter that you and others willingly signed, what will you do in a matter that you made a promise in far away Ethiopia? But the onus is on us to ensure that we assist him to abide by his promise. We must assist him going by 2015.”

He also dismissed the agitation by Ndigbo to produce the next President in 2015. According to him, “in 2015, it will be free for all. Anybody from anywhere can go for it because we have said bye, bye to zoning in 2011. I don’t know what is wrong with Nigerians; you can’t blow hot and blow cold at the same time. If zoning is bad in 2011, it cannot be good in 2015.”

up APGA- do they ahve no good candidates

[size=13pt]The best thing for yoruba do is support related ethnic groups like the Hausas do and the Ibos do.[/size]

the section of the country that was calling for presidency to be transferredto GEJ of the country was from the SW.
When Obj said Yaradua should hand over thats when Gowon, Danjuma decided to to agree.

are you kidding me? When did Apga and the nplf decide to supprt Obj was is not AFTER he won the PDP primaries.

SW-pdp always had his back. I cant wait for 2015

[size=13pt]I’m not in the House of Assembly race, says Tinubu’s daughter – The Nation[/size]

Daughter of former Lagos State Governor and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) leader Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Mrs. Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, yesterday refuted speculations that she was in the House of Assembly race in Agege Constituency 1 of the state.

Mrs. Tinubu-Ojo said she would remain committed to the cause of the party, stressing that ACN is a party of ideas.

“I remain emotionally attached to the progressive cause and vision of our founding fathers for development and progress, and the only ideologically inclined party and route to the promise land is the ACN,” she told reporters in Ikeja.

Mrs Tinubu-Ojo, who is the Deputy Chairman of the State Market Development Board, traced her involvement in active politics to 1998/99, when she was on her father’s campaign train.

She said she joined politics because she was propelled to serve the people.

Mrs Tinubu-Ojo said: “The history of our household is synonymous with diligent service to Lagos. I grew up learning how to serve and solve community problems.

Why are people so TRIBALISTIC- Im not talking about GEJ or tinubu

because neither of their comments were tribalistic.
I just what these dumb Nigerians who viewed it as that.

what yoruba from the sw  does not fish or eat fish? Tinubu also said GEJ boat is about to sink and theres nothing tribalistic about it.

GEJ- obviously didnt mean that SW people are rascals he meant opposition, and it turned into something else.

fact remains GEJs support team is MAINLY the SW. cause if the SW jumped shipat PDP primaries and didnt support him I guarantee EVERYTHING else would fall apart.

Imagine if the SW PDP-obj vote for a northerner or SWer I GUARANTEE the middle belt core north and of course the SE would ahve never supported GED. SE would be thinking of zoning, Middle belt would have been used by the north etc

Though I DONT LIKE obj AND THE pdp SW - fact remains HAD THEY SAID THERE IS NO zoning Niger deltans east and core north would be singing the same tuneZONING TUNE

aint nothing worse than a light skin girl with terribly nappy roots.

mods do you wanna clean up the thread.

why would yoruba team up with anyone ?

you guys have imagination sha

EzeUche_:
By average, Igbos are fairer than most Nigerian ethnic groups except for the ones up North and our immediate neighbors like Ibibio/Efik/Annang. But makes us more interesting, is that we are Africans and not mixed with foreigners like Arabs or Europeans and yet we are still fair.

I am a caramel complexion and I love it.

Everyone wants to be "Igbo lite" that they will bleach their own skins. This is common amongst the Yorubas, sorry to say.

I never heard of igbo lite only "Bonny light"sorry to say.

if anyone wanted to look like anyone in Nigeria I hear more about fulani . . . . not really igbo. sorry

henry101:
If this will make you happy, then continue with your senseless judgement.
Do you need to go this way?

Did he say that?

Though the reason is simple.
You find more light-skinned people from than zone in southern Nigeria.

yea I dont doubt that but he was riding off the back of uduezes comment . of igbos in sierre leone are known to be light skinned,

Blyden Roye who is said to be igbo not very light tho

like uduezes comment about what some "guy" said - "igbos in sierre leone are all light skinned and only marry light skinned"

when Edward Blyden was as black as coal HAHAHA

https://rlv.zcache.com/edward_blyden_daguerreotype_1856_poster-p22824705660830293589jsf_152.jpg

i wish i can reach through the computer and slap him

henry101:
My sister is light but I am dark skinned.
Mom's side is very light but dad's side is dark to brown.

it would be better if some igbo just said yea igbo people range in color instead of the ezeuches of igboland saying all igbos are light.

I have igbo fam and I kno that being all light skinned is far from the truth.

Chyz*:
My brother we thank God.

alex101:
Gbam!

This is why I've recommended that Igbo should only marry from any tribe east of the niger to preserve our good looks. We should prevent tainting of our blood.

As a typical 100% Igbo dude (both parents of Igbo extraction), people have always wondered if I'm related to Denzel Washington. I know say

tribalists go attack me for this fact!

does that include nappy hair?

Andre Uweh:
The gene from his mother's side is a clear manifest of him even in his speech and language. What a shame.

ur kidding right ? i like djzeez but he looks like an ibo guy typical one.

henry101:
Ishaq D. Al-Sulaimani wrote that crap,
So, his name sound Igbo to you.

his name sounds arabic/muslim.

does edward wilmot blyden sound igbo to you?

EzeUche_:
I had to laugh at this.

I'm not going to lie, I don't know why one family can have such a fluctuation in colors. My siblings are from dark brown to very light and we all have the same parents.

dont forget that albino papa of urs. , , , , , I have a number of half igbo cuzzins in my family none of which got our looks some are really dark and some brown.

Infact one would think because their dads are yoruba, they are dark but the real reason they are dark are because their ibo moms family members are in different colors from (BLACK to white i mean "albino". So we all know that the dark skinned gene they got was from their mother side not their dads. being that on their fathers side.

I said that my dads grandma was from Umuahia and was soo dark people used to comment cause it was unsual to see a light skinned mixed man with a dark wife.

EzeUche_:
I have come to the conclusion, that only Igbo men make pretty children. When an Igbo woman has children with a man from another tribe, they do not have looks like a child born to an Igbo man.

dont know where that came from dj zeez is half igbo and yoruba by igbo father but he looks very ibo and he looks like a regular ibo guy- big head wide forehad where his shape up begins. soon to be balding

Onlytruth:
Quote from: sbeezy8
Truth is very easy to spot. Yes you are speaking the truth!
But wait a minute, what happens when the in-laws (bride's junior brothers and sisters as if often the case with Igbo families) show up? Are they treated with understanding or are they called names and targeted for ridicule and other types of abuse? That is what determines whether the bride feels comfortable in the family or not.
Most Igbo girls will quit a marriage if her family is not accommodated.

I will always advise my Igbo sisters to stay away from inter-tribal marriage unless the culture is similar to Igbo, eg delta, cross-river, river, akwa-ibom and parts of benue. These areas are not much different in how they approach marriage and in-law relationships.

If you marry Yoruba,you will likely live ALL your life and die in Lagos (if you are lucky), if not, you will eventually wake up to cold reality if you have any sense of self worth. But more importantly, he is likely to marry a second, third and so on wives or baby mamas in tow who mess too much with juju. Be wise.

hmmmm strange ibo way of twisting everything I wrote into being about ibo. when I CLEARLY NAMED OTHER TRIBES.

EzeUche_:
And what is an African suppose to look like dumb arse? Self-hating bastarddd

I always said you hated yourself. Trying to claim you are fair. Probably bleaching your skin, kissed by the sun MOFO.

why would I bleach my skin. In every yoruba family - the family is either DARK or LIGHT or BROWN.

we dont have albino father , very dark son, brown skinned sister and and light skinned mother- what ur family probably looks like.

igbo suppose to look like dis AFRICAN AS FUK!

PhysicsHD:
Ah, thanks.
I guess the Blyden line became Yoruba, lol. Well it could become Temne, Mende, or Igbo in the future. Or stay Oku.

yea das why i didnt really go into names. cause I kno lots of people from edo state who have yoruba grandmothers and mother who gave their first name as yoruba but they still call themselves bini, igarra etc. . . .

@ezeuche stop posting pics of MEN- youre gay. . . . .

PhysicsHD:
@ mukina, what ethnic group in Sierra Leone has the name Abioseh? (E.W.B III's middle name)

Abioseh should be Oku what yoruba folks call Abiose

but i aint mukina

EzeUche_:
That's a lie. Not all groups are as accomodating as the Igbo, nor do all groups willing to learn other languages either. Only the Igbo are willing to learn Yoruba, Hausa, Edo etc. I have yet to come across a Nigerian who is able to speak another language outside of their mother tongue except Igbos and a few Yorubas who want to fit in with the Hausas.

BS the hausas THAT MARRIED into my family speak yoruba and their children speak yoruba. Hausa cannot just marry a yoruba and think they will not hear yoruba anytime the inlaws come. You must not know GOOD hausas people then.

Same with the efik, same with the edo, igarra , same with the urhobos in my family.

Obiagu1:
Don't say he was lying. This is evident in many cases, not just the one I cited though that one was my own friend.

I challenge you that those you cited have spent all their lives in the city and barely mix with their father's relatives except the few that come visiting them in the city, in this case they'll try to be good else they'll be sent back.

I cannot speak for all families But I can speak for mines and everyone in my family gravitates towards yoruba side of the family.

RARELY do you hear any language being spoken unless its the aunties and uncles who married into the family speaking it around their Igbo,bini,urhobo,hausa, nupe,ewe igarra friends or relatives.

Yoruba is the MOST acceptable culture esp if one speaks the Language. When you marry a yoruba you are marrying their family/culture that means going to their village and being one of them, infact we should not even know you are a  non yoruba!

Digriz:
why did u said dat? It points 2 d sem tribalism am talking abt. My step siblings frm my father didn't wnt 2 hv anytin 2 do wt me,they even called me all sorts of name in their local dialect like (omo ojukwu oloriburuku) and others,so i then realised that they didn't wnt me coz am frm ojukwu tribe. Bt wen it comes 2 igboland,they dnt descriminate wt their fathers child as long as he or she is hs blood. We hv so many men and women who are mixed tribes in our area and yet they were accommodated into d family wtout any segregation.

Bloody Liar!

Almost everyone in my family  is half yoruba but yet they claim ONLY yoruba and speak ONLY yoruba. so wtf are you talking about. even the adopted Ones who are nupe ewe urhobo and even ibo claim to omo yorubaz anyday to the point they have changed their names or married yoruba men and women.

people dont even know we are all half yoruba aside from appearance (looks). stop peddling lies

and we are FINE WITH BEING JUST YORUBA not ny of dis half this half that BS

lol funny thread tho
