I dont like ebonyeyes posts too. She seems to be someone with a complex

Anyhoo this is not my concern

Too much hate, not enough lovin, such a sad world

Yeah caltech is hardcore lol, more than MIT. Most people dont know how hardcore it is lol.

Also they would be very biased against schools they dont and even moreso against schools in the US that are not good in science. I only know one person who is heading to caltech - he is doing environmental engineering while I know close to 10 have gone to stanford for some sort of Phd.

The Minister in charge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mallam Nasir el-Rufai over the weekend declared that Igbos have acquired about 73 percent of landed property in Abuja.
The Minister, who was addressing a gathering of Southeast elected officials also revealed how the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmadu Ali abused him for demolishing his house in Asokoro District in Abuja.
Speaking on a lighter mood, el-Rufai called on the Igbos to take Abuja as the sixth state of the southeast in view of their dominance of the real estate sector of the FCT.
He pointed out that such dominance explains why the Igbos appear to have been the worst victims of the demolition exercise in the territory.
For instance, he said “68 percent of the land allocations in the FCT belongs to the 19 northern states, but in actual land ownership, 73 percent belongs to the Igbos with the most aggressive in land ownership belonging to the indigenes of Anambra state, while Ebonyi lags behind.”

Sounds just like when Bill Clinton made a statement about Emeagwali

EzeUche:
SEFAGO

And you said economic power. Well the Igbos are already winning that race as we practically own Abuja and our sights will be on Lagos since our population is continue to grow in Lagos.

Igbo population is exploding and all you people can just wonder what that means. We will one day all of Yorubaland.

We are truly the "Jews" of Africa.

Here you go again with your silly statements . . . we own this, we own that, we own those, but no evidence of what you own

Yoruba people don't seize to amaze me. Is this the same education that Awolowo gave you guys. You can't even argue reasonably.

I think the right word is cease

Second time

EzeUche:
YOU SOB!

Nice to Igbo? Oh really, by starving us? Is that so nice?

Glad his region is going up in flames now. You reap what you sow.

Soon it will be happening in Yorubaland. Once the Fulani finish off what they started in Jos, they are going to move down to Yorubaland as well.

It was a war mate. What do you expect to happen during a war- being fed ice cream??

Fulani moving to yoruba land?  You are in another century. Gone are the days of matcheres and tribal warfare. Now is the time of economic warfare

afam4eva:
Why don't you open one.

I have no problem with Gowon, I think he was extremely nice to the igbo in such a situation. Please dont forget to quote me anywhere.

Tuyis:
If you want to be honest, you cannot hold him solely responsible for that policy, if there was really one. Falae was Babangida's finance minister and yet Babangida is held responsible for SAP.
Why is Awolowo different, is there a deep seated hatred for Awolowo that has nothing to do with the war?

hmm .  . . I beg to differ, Falae does get blamed for SAP. However SAP was an economic policy. Its likely Awolowo received orders from above to give the 20 pounds, but maybe he did not challenge it thats what my igbo brothers are worried about? Or they are just obssessed with Yoruba people more than with other ethnic groups.

At least you think he should be held responsible. Of course he's not t he only one but at the moment we're discussing Awolowo.

Please point to a thread on Gowon for me

afam4eva:
What was Awolowo's position at that time?

Minister of Finance right- so? Please dont produce a weak argument because I feel like smashing someone intellectually this morning

Andre Uweh:
Well done Afam. The best brains from the west are not even posting on this thread. Instead you have castrated maggots displaying how shallow their brains are. It is a pity.

The best brains are those that agree with you sebi?

FL Gators:
One of the reasons why Yoruba men loff Igbo women and Igbo men cant stand Yoruba women.
You're not far from the truth. . . . My mother will personally slap me if I take crap from any man.

bullcrap. All Nigerian women tvake crap. They are mentally wired to do so, but I dont wanna go off-topic

afam4eva:
Mumu, i meant static not statistics, check your dicksionary.

Thats very figurative, but I understand what you mean now. I have never seen it used that way b4, but I will let it pass

I think we have loads of educated illiterates in Nigeria. How can someone come here and say Awolowo was the best leader Nigeria ever had and expect no static.

Speaking of illiteracy its statistic last time I checked

I would further postulate that most Nigerian women are not interested in Nigerian politics as they are more into shopping, clubbing, doing their nails and goiing to the hair dressers. A quick look round the NL politics forum would even lend further support.
