Nobody to shout Afonja on this thread?

As it happened in 1993, the North showed more support to the West than their southern brothers. Nice to see AKwa Ibom and Cross River

Gbawe:
I feel that the SW has a solid foundation to build on and it is time we all get to work instead of expecting others to do everything for us. As I stated earlier, what we need 211are intelligent and visionary men/women who know how to think, plan and deliver solutions. Before the political environment did not exist to sustain these sort of men and women and this is why the SW, and indeed the entire Nigeria, stagnated badly to now leave us playing 'catch up' in relation to the world and even some African Countries.I think more sustained and politically deliberate efforts from all of us could pay dividends in an age we are seeing more modern politicians open to ideas.

Looking at this thread, I can see a lot of academics. Sure you can find a few who would be willing to do research on best policy practices across the world. Creating a forum for discussing and harvesting ideas would be a good start.

laudate:
No idea! I did a project in Akoko area once, and was surprised at the number of Akoko towns in that part of the South-West.

is it different from other parts of the SW? In terms of the amout of towns in a specific area?

laudate:
Oka-Akoko, Supare-Akoko, Epinmi-Akoko, Oba-Akoko etc; Yep...they are many!

Ever find out what those names mean? How come they speak different languages?

Missy89:
I haven't heard of Ikaram honestly. So many Akoko towns it seems.

Akungba, Irun, Okeage, Aiteju. Those I can remember now. Like the look of Ikare. Also say its the town on a rock. Akoko is just rocks everywhere. Love it.

Missy89:
You mean Ikare?

After Ikare then Iyani, Ikaram, Ibaram and so on. Don't know in which order though. The languages change as the villages change. Thought you're from there?

Missy89:
What dialect is that?

Ikaram - Akoko

Missy89:
Osha mi gbeme - I am Hungry Sounds different than the spelling thou

Du yin ba - Meaning?
