Ofodirinwa:
Our obsession with politics has created an environment where if you say Adamawa is in East Nigeria, people on the street will fight you.

Same way if you say Europe and Asia are the same land, some people will fight you.
It is called Geo-Politics for a reason.

beautiful

2 out of 3 Kids wey no resemble papa or mama...
there is Goooodu o .....

Source? or did you pull all of that out of your yansh?

UYCO:
It is the yoruba language that brought brought all independent itsekiri communities together as one Itsekiri kingdom. Some are from Ijebu, some are from Owo, ikale etc.

Are you from Itsekiri land?

HAKEEM OLUSEYI

(Associate professor of physics)

Oluseyi’s enthusiasm is infectious, making him an inspiring educator. Besides conducting research, he teaches astronomy in Africa and leads the One Telescope Project to supply every country with at least one research-grade telescope. He also appears regularly on four Discovery Channel series. In How to Survive the End of the World, which debuts on the National Geographic Channel on Tuesday, he explains how to survive a killer pandemic, volcanic cataclysm and other doomsday scenarios.

As a kid, Oluseyi moved with his single mother from one inner city to another. When she noticed him getting in trouble with the law, she moved him to rural Mississippi to live with his dad. When Oluseyi wasn’t acting up, he was tinkering with his chemistry set. “I just love to discover and invent,” he said. “It’s what always fulfilled me.”

Oluseyi doesn’t see himself as the next Carl Sagan or Neil deGrasse Tyson … ”I want to be the next Albert Einstein.”
After high school, Oluseyi enrolled at Tougaloo College in Jackson, where he struggled to stay afloat. Although he aced his physics classes, he got Cs in math and kept getting in trouble on the streets. Dejected, he dropped out during his junior year and took a hotel janitor job. But when he couldn’t move up to a bellhop position, even after months of working, he’d had enough.

So he returned to Tougaloo. But this time, he resolved to do things right. While his friends partied, he worked on solving every problem in his calculus textbook. To master math, he majored in it.

Oluseyi had another breakthrough when three black physics students from MIT and Harvard invited him to meet graduate school recruiters at a conference in Washington, D.C. Recruiters from Stanford University ended up accepting him to the school’s physics PhD program.


But Oluseyi had to fight through Stanford too. He had trouble navigating social norms. On his first day, he asked a classmate, a little too loudly, “Man, see all these squirrels on campus? How come nobody eats them?” The room fell silent. Other students were just mean. He isolated himself from them and retreated next door to East Palo Alto, the murder capital of the country at the time.

He continued lecturing at the University of Lagos until 1988. He furthered his studies and earned an M.Sc. degree in Statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a PhD in Chemical engineering also from the same University in 1981. He was a Research Engineer with the Process Control group of the Shell Development Corporation in Houston, Texas from 1981 to 1982. He worked as a researcher for DuPont and was also a consultant to several companies including Gore, PPG Industries, and Corning Inc. He joined the faculty of the University of Delaware in 2002 and became the Dean of the College of Engineering in July 2011.[2][3] He has been a visiting professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the African University of Science and Technology, Abuja.[4] He is the author and editor of several books, papers and book chapters, used to educate engineers in instrumentation, systems and control at many universities.[5] He was associate editor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology and the American Chemical Society’s Industrial & Engineering Chemistry. His research focuses on modeling and control of industrial processes; the application of process analytical technology for control of pharmaceutical processes; identification and control of nonlinear systems; the interaction of process design and process operability; applied statistics; biological control systems; and systems biology with application to neuronal responses and cancer.[6][7]

Hmmmmn....
Ijebus are something else .....

Hmmmmn
Reading a lot about so many Yoruba achievers, that I never even heard of before....

cheruv:
I want you to do something for me...look at this maps very well

www.nairaland.com/attachments/3007545_map5_jpega5b77f7849d09e5b8ab516f2496d3c98

You'd see that the colonizers knew ijo land very well and carved them into 3 divisions viz Western ijaw, brass and degema divisions. These areas are not needed by Igbos and even if they secede with us,we'd do as Malaysia did to Singapore by expelling these areas from Biafra.
Like I told Goodboiyy,you're just taking panadol over a phantom headache

In the same map by the colonizers, Aboh, Ukwale, Ika are all under the Western region (Benin Subdivision)
So Yes, the colonizers knew the history of these places quite well.

PedroJP:
Pls what language do they Niger Deltans speak ? Once Biafra comes, goats will be separated from the sheep without stress and dragging.

ohh...I thought every group that ties two piece wrapper is a born Biafran na
Abi no be so again?

Goat from Sheep ko, Turkey from Chicken ni ....

Setaje:
Sorry the igbos committed terrible atrocities. My dad saw everything. If not for the Nigerian troops, they would have taken over naija delta wiv the help of the anioma. Anioma people secretly helped biafra. But when the Nigerian troops came in they were d same people pointing out who the real igbos were and denied being pure igbo. My dad's principal was killed in front of them. The Igbo troops killed a lot of minority groups. Starting from porthacourt.


The only people I think that might be loyal to your course is anioma. As far as I no, they have never been trusted by pure delta people. Just as u people see them as fake igbos, the Nigerian delta see them as traitors. That's my observation. But my friend amaka will never agree she is igbo. Strange.

loooooooooooooooool

Goodboiyy:
You haven't heard of how Biafra army intimidated us ?.. How they rape our girls ? I remember the story my mom told me, When the Biafra troop arrived warri, they ordered everybody to come out, my mom told me how they shot an Urhobo man that have Mark on his face thinking he his Yoruba..

This is not 1967.. as itsekiri will align with Yoruba Troop to defend our territory from any invasion.

You are warned

My God!

cheruv:
You're talking like an amateur in politics even if it were me I'd deny too after all why sacrifice your fortune when the show is yet to start
If you understand the Chinese technique called "face the east gate and attack the west gate" you'd understand my true position regarding those ijaw LGs and even the whole of ijawland

lool, when the Itsekiris come out to deny Biafra, it is because you have "never involved them", but when The Ijaws, Ibibios, Ogonis etc come out to do the same, It becomes "Oh.... they are only coming out to please their paymasters"
Listen, no well thinking Ijaw man will leave their brothers in Ondo, Edo (Ovia SW), Delta (Ogbe Ijo, Burutu, Bomadi, Patani) and Western Bayelsa behind , just so as to form some phantom Banana republic with igbos.

baby124:
I honestly expected this from Itshekiri. When I saw their name in ND republic, I laughed

wait till the others come out and do the same .... very soon.

cheruv:
Goodboiyy
Pay no heed to those putting Jekri or Sobo(urhobo) land in Biafra. Always have it the back of your mind that no Edoid tribe has a place in Biafra.
The only part of Delta inclusive in Biafra are Anioma and the 3 ijaw LGs of Delta South

See you....
Who dash you Burutu, Bomadi and Patani LGA's?
Not even Ekeremor or Sagbama in Western Ijaw areas of Bayelsa are within your sights.

Next to come deny this silly movement will be the national spokespersons of the Ijaws and Ibibios. E go shock you.
