richyblack is also biased. i think I should be nominated as a moderator. what do you guys think?

yes, the british aided and abetted the nigerian FG during the civil war. I can guess their reasons, but does anyone have real data exactly why?

So how am I expected to love somebody who defended his people to my own detriment? Little wonder then that Awo has no respect outside Yorubaland

I dont think anyone is here trying to make you love Awo. I for one dont love any nigerian leader- i believe we should learn from their mistakes, but not to monumentalize them. And I think Awo's action was in line with the politics of that time. Yoruba people are like gold-diggers, if you do not give money to a golddigger (i.e if awolowo did not in anyways take steps to defend his people) then the golddigger would leave his/her lover in the cold. Awolowo was probably not tribalistic- ambitious yes- but who isn't?

I think we should also avoid a linear and simplistic perspective in debate- consider the dynamics of a culture, b4 placing criticism.

so stuff that happened 40 years ago, and crimes committed by men long dead are major contributors to nigeria's problem?

^ agree

It is good that Nigerians of all hue can work together, especially the Igbo and Yoruba, the two tribes I consider most important in Nigeria. However, we should not defend what is wrong. On the bolded part, who is federal govt that made the federal law? Was Awo not the defacto VP and finance minister who hatched the idea to decimate Igbo finances? Yoruba should learn to look beyond Awo and work with others. The tribalism that Awo introduced into the system has remained the root cause of Nigeria's problems till date. No hard feelings, though

that i didnt know, could explain more how he hatched the plan, and how he introduced tribalism. I am actually interested in learning, and not for arguing senselessly sake-you seem to be one of the few people who actually tell things as they are.

If the 20 pounds was an insult. . . why did your people accept it? T[b]hery should have shoved it back at the FG[/b]. Its unlikely that in any future Biafran uprising you will be as lucky as was the case in the 70s that your abandoned properties were returned to you. I honestly cannot fathom the reasoning behind the returns. . . in war there are lessons to be learnt. You continue to invest heavily in foreign territories that are rival to your political interests, at the same time that you incessantly beat the war drums to reinvent Biafra and its associated hostilities. Doesn't sound like the lessons are learnt to me. . . what do you think?

What a beauty

^ goodpoint, very few people in nigeria actually listen to dr alban now, unlike dbanj. Even dr alban asking to do a collabo with dbanj tells you that no condition is permanent. I dont know what caused the trouble sha and i am not going to comment.

sticking with traditions . Anyways, as they say "no long thing", if she dey look, remember say to tellam that sefago dey

Some people go argue with you.

I meant non-africans outside africa. It would be rare to see some european guy singing "booty call booty call" or "mo gbono fele fele" but I have seen a lot who actually like dr alban, and I have met a shitload who admire Fela kuti too

Insert Quote
you see Yoruba people don't know their mate, they forget too easily

what did dbanj do again?

Its not about tribe mate, its about being african- dr albans decision to proudly sing in the thick african accent was ballsy- I am sure if you live in europe/america you will understand how difficult it is to use your thick nigeiran accent infront of other people except fellow nigerians. Many atimes, i have seen people with crisp british/american accents who break into thick nigerian ones when they find out i am from nigeria. Usually my response is .

And guess what his music also sold too

you get older one?

Infact both him and haddaway are one of the two greatest pioneers of dance music. Dbanj na small boy- he should know his level na. Immediately you leave the shores of africa no one knows dbanj.

What is it with yoruba guys with igbo girls?Are yoruba girls no longer fine?

, i am trying to spread sefago love around. I am planning a harem anyways consisting of both igbo, yoruba and hausa girls . Tell your younger sister to apply if you think she will meet the requirement

So, I was just sitting down, and thinking about nigeria- then it came to my mind that how much it would suck if nigeria's soccer team was no more and there was biafra soccer team  , omo oduduwa soccer team  , and northern sultanate soccer teams.

just consider what would be their nicknames from all I have learned on nairaland . Instead of the super eagles we would have for the igbo team would be called the super complainers squad , the yoruba team would be called the indomitable 419 squad, the northern soccer team would be called the roaring cattle rearers. I was also worried because it would be unlikely that people from the north would be able to spell their names correctly on their shirts. In addition- if anyteam loses to theother, it could lead to serious clashes.

Just my two cents 

I am so happy we made the world cup

But theres no reason to hate another tribe. I have igbo fam in anambra, abia and delta they always talk mess about yorubas and vice versa but theres no hate between us. Who knows I might actually go the east/southsouth after the kindappings and militants calm down

yes, infact, I am considering having igbo wivesss, wife. That doesn't mean I wouldn't poke fun at ignorant igbo ppl

Next time chillax small eh but no u r right sha so no categories to be added

africans have a very interesting concept of democracy

Call it "transgendered

As a true democrat I will add 2 other categories for the pleasure of Ajanlekoko, No2Atheism & Ezeagu

Thats not fair now everyone would want their category. i want a new category for myself too, i am still thinking of what it should be called though

Abeg, forget my name . Your group ke! Homo is a jailable crime in 9ja.

I dont live in nigeria. Good, you have now officially joined the group.

Being a Homo Sapien? No wonder people are dying everywhere in the country!

you see, of all of us you have the highest qualifications to join the ignorant group

Ignorant group- 3 people strong

I now have to recruit becomrich

Beaf assemble here and repesent us strong. Billy muse you too. B4 NEPA brings light and all the other naija ppl can logon to nairaland, let us win quickly by repping our group.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-353347.32.html

thats just semantics- you know that is a synonmy for ignorant group, abeg join- if we lost, my vexxing no go small

U drank too much of your kai kai today sefago

I am very well aware of what i do on nairaland (aka look for trouble where I can find it )- everyone should too.

ezeagu, abeg join my group you know where you belong, dont run away. Can you call Beaf too? We have to stay strong in the midst of other opposition. I know you are not a tribalist so you are in the same category with me

NL is a true representation of Nigeria. You have the tribalists, the idiots, the uneducated walking around in posh clothes and the very witty. Some of the arguments that go on here are pretty daft if you ask me and unwarranted!

Glad you are a big fan of gandhi. Your post personified one of your citiques.

2) The Ignorants - These people provide the comedy I alluded to ealier, some of them believe that grammar equals intelligence and when backed to corner will resort to insults. All most all the time everything to them is either black or white, you'll have a hard time having a sensible conversation with them and for this group common sense is not common

yayy, representing strong. All my fellow ignorants should assemble her too, let us represent strong. Don't make other groups beat us too

i love billymuse's response

The major difference between us is the language. We can look above the labuage difference and unite.

Language is the least of our differences- culture is probably the largest. However, I agree that we can look past these differences

I was joking oooh

or are you serious ?

beaf incase you didnt get it- it was a joke

MG this has to be the funniest thing I've read today. U dey really vex o tpia.
@ SEFAGO I see u have shed your transexual status and reverted back to your true gender. How was the op

It was fine, but expensive- I couldn't use health insurance because i didn't have any. But now that Obama's universal health insurance seems likely to pass, I might actually have full coverage for subsequent operations so that I can keep switching between male and female anyime I want.

But I think I really want to go back to being female   .

I miss being called lady sefago, countess sefago, transexual and such buy people with stupid anmes like beaf and onlytruth.

@naijababe
Why the interest in my short transexual period- oh I get it, you kinky little girl  

yorubas eat where they shit

yorubas are[b] filthy animals[/b]

yorubas are the lousiest and smelliest tribe

yorubas are[b] horribly ugly[/b]

yorubas arent human

yorubas are the blackest negroes. they are so black because they betrayed Igbos

This is termed dehumanizing of a specific ethnicity by one group. In case you guys dont know ezeagu and company are preparing a genocide against the yoruba and hausas, while using jona and becomrich as a smokescreen to hide the real issues in mind:


Now, I am beginning to display igbo paranoia.
