Noneroone:

Omeny:

No wahala, that's ur way.
I can never be inferior to anybody and am not superior to anybody.
I serve a must high God that made EVERYBODY in HIS own Image,then who am I to say this is Igbo and this is Yoruba or Hausa?
Sadly many of our youths really need re-orientation to purge them off their stereotype and brain-wash and the National Orientation Agency has failed in this regard.
Whether u are from South or North,I Love u.
There's nothing in life to fight for.
U have many to gain to go with love than hate.
From this juncture,am done with u.Bye and God Bless u.

Omeny:

Don't be tired ooo.
U never start.

Omeny:
Propaganda, Lol.
Everybody knows the father and mother of propaganda nau.

Afam4eva:
I thought you knew all these. I'm sure you've never stepped your foot in the east. You only rely on beer parlour gossip for your analysis on Igboland. Go and ask the Yorubas who live there why they do.

Omeny:
What do u know about history?
How old are u?
Like I said earlier, Keep having fun kid.

Afam4eva:
I just clocked 30 in July and there are some lame arguments i will not go into especially when the opposing person refuses to be reasonable.

How exactly does your analogy add up? You're just making it seem that there's something in Yorubaland that's not present anywhere else and that's why they're rushing there and that is not the truth else they won't be in Kano, Kaduna, Benin, Maiduguri (war ridden), Zamfara, Calabar, Uyo, yenagoa or even smaller towns like Kafanchan, Dutse, Bida etc. It's because they're really going to these places to offer a service that the native either are not interested in or don't have the knowhow. The biggest complaint against immigrants globally is the issue of immigrants taking the jobs of the natives. Can you sincerely tell me that Igbos are taking anyone's jobs as the last time i checked Igbos are usually involved in one form of business or the other. I can bet that Yorubas makeup atleast a whopping 80% of the workforce in the Lagos civil service despite the fact that they don't make up that much percent of population, so you can't say Igbos are taking your jobs.

A lot of Igbos who live in Lagos will choose Lagos over the east, south, North or anywhere else in Nigeria. And it's about Lagos being the commercial capital and not because it's Yorubaland. Have you forgotten that almost everything Nigeria is located in Lagos and it's only commosensical that Lagos should be the number one subject when the issue of rural-urban migration is discussed. It will also be moral for you to know when to use Lagos, West and Yorubaland. Don't use them interchangeably cos they're not the same.

Omeny:
Bravo. Continue.
We are watching what u make of ur hate.
But as a brother,take my advice,U can't fight Igbos ooo.
This one na just noise oo.

Omeny:
Keep having fun I take no offence because am more matured than u by far.
Keep more coming. But pray the worse don't happen that's when we will know who's who.

hesilo:
hmmm ...u meant d opposite I guess. Av u eva been 2 igboland and seen ow d yoruba girls trip 4 d fine fine igbo boiz?...I was once in Ondo den I cldn't believe ow d yoruba girl I met wnt 2 av me jas cos I was looking quite different and cute and becos I wasn't like most of d urgly yoloba boiz. Well it was my first landing in a yoloba land, she gave me a treat I wld neva 4get. Dat's one of d gud tins I knw yolobas av. Deir woman can sabi do

Omeny:
Lol
Don't worry,we will not run to Yoruba land and Igbos are not threat to us.

Afam4eva:
I just gave you one minute of silence for your ignorance. You're really at the top of the chain.

If the SE was not economically viable then no one will remain there, not even Igbos. Globally, people leave their homelands to find opportunities elsewhere because those available in their homelands are not enough for the population. There are people making it in the east but every Igbo person can't be there. All spare part dealers cannot be in Nnewi, so the may decide to move to Lagos that has a bigger market or move to Ile Ife to compete for the smaller market. It doesn't mean that Ile Ife is better than where they're coming from in General but because they see an opportunity and the're tapping into it.

It's funny how you guys always replace Lagos with Yorubaland. Lagos house 70% of Nigeria's oil sector (according to you) and that's because Lagos is Nigeria's economic capital. There's really no much difference between other cities in Nigeria apart from Lagos, Abuja and PH except for landmass.

Coming back to the eat being so bad. I would have believed that lie to only that whenever i'm in Owerri, i see a lot of Hausa people hustling at Douglas Road and elsewhere. based on my understanding of Yoruba people, they're the kind of people who love to stay in their comfort zone especially as it relates with Nigeria. Anywhere other than the 3 most important NIgerian cities, they're really not down with it. I don't know if it's due to a fear of the unknown.

Omeny:
Empty vessel.

MDsambo:
English of course...

over 80% of the southerners can't speak in thier mother's tongue

HAUSA LANGUAGE COULD BE THE NEXT OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF NIGERIA.

Hausa language is the most widely spoken indigenous language in Nigeria, and the only language in which the population of its non-native speakers surpasses that of its native speakers. One very interesting feature about the language apart from its rich vocabulary and grammar is that, it spread like a wild fire within and without Nigeria through peaceful means (mostly through the activities of Hausa traders that visit or settled in numerous areas).There was no time in the history of the language that it was forced upon any certain community or people, most if not all of its non-native speakers learned the language willingly, and in the charming and easy going Hausa people you always find wiling teachers. Amongst all Nigerian tribes, you will not find those eager to teach their language to others more than the Hausa people love to. They are by far the only Nigerian tribe that value their language above the official English language.

While most Nigerian languages are recording what I would term ‘native decline’ in their speakers, Hausa language’s non-native speakers population is increasing day by day, and the most interesting thing is,

Jalubarika:
My point is, it's not fast growing anything

Jalubarika:
Ibadan shouldn't be on this List. I'm presently in Ibadan and I'm pissed.
1. The Literacy level is not encouraging .
2. So much pressure on the infrastructures, e.g. Olorunsogo--Amuloko axis.
3. The pictures representing Ibadan on this thread had been existing even before my Dad was born. Mapo Hall and Ibá Mapo
4. Ibadan is not fast growing because religion has crippled their reasoning for Development. They look contented without development, so what the need?
Many Ibadan guys on NL can attest to this.
Note; I'm from Ibadan
