My friend, what you called "simple thing" is the job of a highly trained professional (Analytics Expert). Its not a job or task you can find so easily like that, even in the developed world. Whoever did this knows his/her Onions, I know this because this is what I do too. Think of what this can do for a firm with certain product(s) in the market. As in, people's perception of a product, personality (entertainer or politician, public figure) via the social media.. Gathering data from blogs and social media websites and analyzing that data to make business decisions. The most common use of social media analytics is to mine customer sentiment in order to support marketing and customer service activities.

Its a very broad and emerging field my brother, one in which Nigeria and most companies are yet to look into...

Reekado banks carry go. As for that street agbero called olamide and his herbalist group i say go and jump into a lagoon mudafucker. You think music in nigeria revolve around only your stupid language.
The funniest part about all you Yoruba haters out there, is that you don't know Reekado Banks is Another Yoruba guy who sings very well in his native Language.
That same music Video 'Katapot' that won the award, still has parts of it in the Yoruba Language..... But of course, you probably didnt hear that part.
That is what tribalism does to the mind.

Who ask you not to sing in your language? Yoruba people tie una mouth??

rdokoye:
No way in hell there is 3 million Igbo people living in Northern Nigeria; because if there were, it would be reflected during elections in the North. The only place outside of Igbo land where you find many Igbo people living is Lagos. Igbo people number in excess of 1.5 million there, which is still relatively small.

The only reason why Igbo people are visible in the North and anywhere else we inhabit, is because we're business people. Which puts us out there, in the faces of the people we live amongst.
You know, it is similar to the way you go to a large US city, and then you start thinking black are probably around 20-40% of the USA, because blacks are mostly Urban dwellers, not knowing that they are only around 12%

Ugbodu Community - Yoruba settlements in Aniocha North LGA.

ABOUT UGBODU TOWN

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1452/24119903395_322190a720_o.jpg
HRH Ayo Isinyemeze, The Oloza (King) of Ugbodu community.

Ugbodu Town lies at a latitude of 6.379 and longitude of 6.458 and it has an elevation of 241 meters above sea level. It is a Yoruba speaking community based deep in the heart of Igbo speaking communities. The village is one of six villages which trace their origin to Owo Town in Ondo State of Nigeria. Ugbodu consists of four villages namely, Igwisi, Idumu-Agba, Ogoza and Idumu Ogwa.
The people through interaction and centuries of living in their present location speak both Olukumi and Igbo languages. Olukumi is the Yoruba language spoken by Owo people in present day Ondo State in Nigeria. Collectively, the six Olukumi speaking towns make up what is known as Odiani clan.

Ugbodu is the place where the East of Nigeria "meets" the West of Nigeria as this town and its other Olukumi speaking communities of Aniocha North, Delta State of Nigeria is the only place in the whole of Nigeria which speaks both the Igbo and Yoruba languages fluently as a people. It is also one of the most deprived communities in Nigeria today.
Despite this, the town boasts of many graduates in various fields. It has produced lawyers, doctors, engineers, agriculturists, scientists, and a national beauty pageant amongst others. It also boasts of a nursery school, two primary schools, one secondary school, a hospital, a post office, several churches etc.
Culled from the Ugbodu Development Union (U.D.U)
http://uduuk.com/Town.html

On a courtesy visit to the area, the following was gathered from King Ayo and Prince Adebowale Ochei of the Royal house:

“We are a Yoruba speaking community and the name of our language is Olokumi,”. Finally the king, H.R.M. Ayo Isinyemeze, the Oloza (Obi) of Ugbodu, met the desire of the writer. The youthful looking, handsome royal father explained. According to the monarch who is also the chairman of the Traditional Rulers Council in Aniocha North, the Ugbodu Oluku mi speaking people migrated from Owo/Akure axis in the current day Ondo State between 9th and 11th Century AD to settle down in Benin during the reign of King Ogiso of Benin. They, however, had to leave Benin for their current abode after a particular incident which rendered them unsafe. “The language, Oluku mi is a dialect of the Yoruba. Interestingly, we are not the only speakers of the language. It is spoken even as far as far away Cuba, part of Southern America. Our history dated far back, very far back to the time of Ogiso’s in the Benin Kingdom.

He continued: “Centuries later and interestingly, we would always claim that we were the first to settle in this neighbourhood which is why we have a name for practically all the communities around us as they refer to us simply as Ugbodu. “Sometime in the mid 90’s, the Ife monarch traveled to Cuba and then it was reported that he met a group of persons who were speaking an ancient, according to them, form of Yoruba that was called Oloku Mi.” What exactly does the name Ugbodu connote, the monarch disclosed “Ugbodu simply means, we have found solace in this land”. “We began to acculturate and over time we had adopted largely the way of life of our neighbours. We now bear Igbo names. Me, for instance, my name is Isieyemeze but that’s not Olokumi name, that’s an Igbo name. It is a tribute as it were to my family because, I bear an Olokumi name as a first name. My children all bear Olukumi names. I think there is renaissance, an effort of going back to our roots.

So, most of the children being born these days are named Olokumi names. “Outside from that, our dance, dress and food we have basically adopted our neighbour’s lifestyle in those regards. Interestingly, practically everybody here speaks Igbo but only as our second language. Our primary tongue is Olokumi and everybody born here speaks that language.
Traditionally, the area was divided into a number of societies, Some of which include The following:

Awo - This is the group of society called HERBALISTS IN UGBODU KINGDOM. They consult oracles and prepare herbal medicines for both the sick and injured for the young and old.
http://ugbodu.net/content/awo-group-society-native-doctor-ndi-dibia

Egwungwun - This is a group of society which was originated from Essan (Ishan) in Edo State of Nigeria in the 1390s till date. It is a societal group that enforces Laws, Rules and Regulations in the community. It is equally needed for traditional entertainments. It is believed to be a masquerade or groups of masquerades representing our ancestors, as the name implies the unbearable sound of the hooting alone, it is highly disorganizing whereby, all non-members keep to running,
PS: As a Yoruba person I know that Egungun is a Yoruba cultural phenomena passed down to the Olukumi as descendants.
http://ugbodu.net/content/egwungwun-arinmi

Ighare - Elders above 70
Ogun - Society of Blacksmiths
Olotu - Community of Chiefs
Inwene - Female version of ogun group
Etc
According to Ugbodu.net the community's online website, there have been two dynasties of Obas and Olozas (Probably culled from the Yoruba and Benin terms: Olaja, Olareja, Onoja, Onogie Etc) who have ruled the communities at different points in history.

Traditionally, the Yorubas organized themselves into networks of related villages, towns and kingdoms segmentally, with most of them headed by an OBA, (KING) or bale, (a nobleman or mayor). The main Yoruba cities and towns are Ile-ife, Ibadan, Lagos, Ijebu-Ode, Abeokuta, Akure, Osogbo, Ilorin, Ikorodu, Owo, Ondo, Ilesha, Ilobu, Ede, Ado etc. There are other Yoruba cities and towns, such as Ketu, Sabe, Dassa and others in the Republic of Benin and beyond.

There are other towns and cities with historical affiliation with the Yoruba people because they share one or more similarities together. Some of these cities and towns are Benin-City, Warri, Auchi, Okene, etc.
The Yoruba is the main ethnic group in the States of Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Kwara, Osun and Oyo as well as Edo and DELTA STATE, which UGBODU KINGDOM is one of them. Undoubtedly, this is a clearer evidence of why the first set of OLOZAS were continually indigenes of Yorubas from OWO town in ONDO STATE which their tenure of offices lasted for Two-hundred and forty years (240yrs) with effect from 1150 to 1390 from the available records which stands thus: -
