Normal SW propaganda 100%....I guess the fact that the Chinese are doing business in Nigeria means Nigeria is more developed than China undecided..Same way,Nigerians in Togo,Niger,Chad e.tc means these countries are richer than Nigeria..

Una matter tire person.

Una matter
Chinese do business here, not bring their entire generation over to live here their whole lives here, marry here, die here and some getting buried here.

Besides, the major reason Chinese are in Africa is to compete with the West and expand their Global influence, not really for the profit because the truth is that china gives out nore money in loans to africans than they get back via petty businesses!

Besides how many chinese are in Nigeria compared to china’s 1.3billion people?

Now conpare the number of Igbos in SW to those remaining there and spot the difference.

Some of you people reason like people with IQ in the low 70s

I've never think of it but I think it's not in their culture to beg. Igbo's can't beg they're more of entrepreneur s unlike our lazy Yoruba's and Hausa's idly roaming the street. Some able bodied Yoruba's have even taken it as their profession.

P.S. I'm a Yoruba o so don't quote me.
Who cares if you are Yoruba or Gogobiri?
That is the number one method to catch Impostors-

Abi OLODO ni padi yi ni? Pls go and read history Alimi did not only conquered ilorin but also helped Afonja to defeat Alaafin of Oyo the only Mistake Alimi made then was his oversight to install a ruler on Oyo empire if he had done that as rule of War Oyo too would have been under Emirate but he was not interested he only concentrated on his primary assignment which is to propagate Islam. The Yoruba traditional rulers in Kwara are all subject of Emir if ilorin, they are of the same rank with the four Baloguns in ilorin.
How can Afonja impose a ruler on something he sacked and destroyed? angry
Afonja revolted against Oyo NOT Alimi so what you are saying is complete rubbish. Alimin was a mercenary and Afonja had to be killed via backstabbing before Alimi could usurp the leadership of even Ilorin township, so pray tell how exactly he could have imposed anything on Oyo town with Afonja his enployer and superior alive and kicking? Are you okay?

Again the Yoruba Obas on kwara are not subject to the Emir in the cultural sense, except you are confused and mistaking being the “appointed head” of Kwara state traditional rulers council to meaning they are traditionally under him- unless you want to tell us of any traditional connections between the Enir in Ilorin and towns like Erin Ile, Shaare or Oro which we don’t know.

And if you are verse in history you would have known that after afonja was killed the marauding fulanis later came back for remnants of the old Oyo enpire and the rest of Yorubaland, only to be defeated by the Ibadans, not once but Twice. They never came back after their defeat.

Sincerely speaking I don’t want to inst you but you are a complete Idio.t and a cancerous mole in the Yoruba ethnic community.
Your types are the ones causing problems for us.

Baruba you meant. What of The Fulani people? or have you forgotten the Ilorin indigenes do say they are fulanis and not yoruba.? I just wonder how 3 or 4 Ilorin LGs managed to conquer about 12 Yoruba LGs to become the state capital and the center of attraction.
Lol they (Ilorin prople) are NOT Fulani, except for a hardly noticeable micro community.
Perhaps they are Fulani by mouth sha. Loool

And how exactly did Ilorin local governments conquer other Yoruba local governments except for the fact that Ilorin is the government designated state capital? Did the Igbominas, Ibolo or Ekiti Kwarans tell you they are Caliphate people ?

Ps: Barubas as you might want to call them are also known as Baribas.
CultureRe: BROKIN; The Nigerian Pidgin History And Origin. by scholes0(m): 3:10pm On Oct 22, 2017
Furthermore....

Broken English refers to a poorly spoken or ill-written version of the English language, sometimes considered a pidgin. Under the strictest definition of the term, broken English consists of English vocabulary grafted onto the syntax of a non-English speaker's native language.
EXACTLY what pidgin is in Nigeria.
CultureRe: BROKIN; The Nigerian Pidgin History And Origin. by scholes0(m): 3:08pm On Oct 22, 2017
If I give the same text in proper English to three different speakers of pidgin, one in Lagos, one in Sapele and the other in Calabar and ask them to do aome traduction , it would surprise you how different what they come up with would be.
The only binding factors between the three translations might end up being just the general Idea.

Let’s. Ot mid ourselves here, Pidgin has no fixed grammar or atructure.

The partial structure obtainable in pidgin as it were, is largely derived from english just like most of the vocab, and word order (SVO) don’t differ most of the time, with the rest derived from innovations based on the local languages spoken in the local vicinity where the particular version of pidgin is being spoken.

I see am - I saw it
And I began to sing - As I come dey sing
Etc

Baribas have 2 LG, Nupe have 2 LG

RedboneSmith:
She knows what she is saying. Pidgin actually has structure and all those things. Just that it is widely different from what obtains in Standard
Pidgin has no structure abeg. A creole has a structure but a pidgin does not. That is why Pidgin in Nigeria differs from place to place and is constantly changing and evolving to include new forms and convoluted ways of expressing the same things that already had a previous form. In short, no rules.

The way someone in Jos will speak pidgin (structure, grammar and all) might significantly differ from what you may hear in Benin.

What makes pidgin not broken English?
CultureRe: BROKIN; The Nigerian Pidgin History And Origin. by scholes0(m): 12:39pm On Oct 22, 2017
mayberry1:
For record purpose, 'Broken' is different from 'Pidgin'. Broken English has to do with poor use of English language(either spoken or written) the type that the individual struggles to speak fluently and correctly with so much grammatical errors
So what is pidgin??

Does “Make I come dey go” sound like rich use of English (either spoken or written) with perfect grammatical tenses and lexis?
lipsrsealed

Pidgin= Brokin abeg.

These Wiki figures cannot be trusted
because propagandists have hijacked
the editing of especially the political
and historical entries!

This is the reason why schools in the
Western word do not allow students
to give references from Wikipedia.
Exactly.
I remember when I used to view EQG’s wiki article and there was nothing like Igbo in it.
Now some people have edited it and included Igbo there under the “others” category. I am not saying it is wrong though- but then, how true is it as well.
Sketchy things will always look somehow sketchy- and to be sincere with you this looks sketchy.

Yorubas in Benin and Togo is well documented, Efiks and Ejaghams in Cameroon arr well documented, Hausa in Niger isn’t even a question- why is the Igbo in EQG one just being discussed IN 2017 if it is a long established fact?

What do you have to say about the aecond entry I posted from joshua project?
