I thought you would have said "black man" replies "white man" who busted him.

Funny guy.

These are the things that will eventually make me quit this increasingly tedious platform. What is the relevance of the man's skin colour? Are you people mad?

Instead of writing Ola of wherever busted by an aviation or whatever expert, you emphasised his skin colour. Meaning the man's skin colour is what lends him his relevance here?

Says who. Even if this particular one is fiction; you believe it can't happen? Bro if I didn't engage in such I will also believe this is fiction like you. I met her on 2go some years back, the very day we were knacking she told me it was exactly one year she did her introduction, anytime she's going to visit her fiance, she often tells me. We stopped seeing when she was about preparing for her wedding. Bro, forget fiction oooo. Many things dey happen. If you haven't witness it before you will think they are fiction. But all those were in the past sha. Old things have past away.

Like he clearly said, anything can happen but this one looks like fiction. How many men will willingly marry a woman who is obviously not pregnant for them? How many men will then go about informing their families that their fiancee is pregnant for another but they still want to marry her? Why is it that it is only twitter influencers who hear of such tales?

Okay assuming it is true, that means all the family members plus friends should've heard about it by now, including the lady's enemies and frenemies, and not one other person has come out to tweet about it?? Only the twitter influencer?

Try to be smart.

Fiction!

Things like that happen a lot. Even worse things happen. But this particular one is likely a fiction to grow traffic. Examine how it is written and presented.

Nigerian bloggers are scammers, and they cash out big time because average Nigerians lack common sense. Take note, those bloggers don't give updates on most of their stories because most of those stories are fabricated. So, they put their misguided fans or readers in suspense. But for a true-life story, you will definitely get updates.

Absolutely agree with you. The personality of the poster made me certain this is just another fictional tale just like probably 70% of the stories that hit nairaland frontpage. Nigerians as a people seem so silly and thirsty for fantastic stories to fuel their regular gossip habits that they will eagerly lap up every tale sold t them. So disgusting.

Graham340:
Fake news on the front page. Nike didn’t announce any jersey for the Super Eagles. This is just a concept kit circulating on social media. No surprises because this is how Nigerian media share fake and unverified news all the time.

That's quite disappointing but not surprised. The Nigerian media is the worst I have ever seen anywhere in the world.

Wow! These are stunning. Must buy!!

robosky02:
Yaya Toure got the 4 awards not because he was too exceptional
But because no better players does season.

Because if you talk of African legend's apart from the awards he is way below the pecking order when you call

Roger Miller
Abedi Pele
Kanu Nwankwo
George Weah
Didia Drogba
etc

Brov what are you saying? Toure scored 21 goals and 11 assists as a deep lying playmaker. That is unheard of. Please don't say this again - Toure was not too exceptional? What?

Not a single player of those you listed is better or more exceptional than Toure except maybe George Weah. It's totally laughable to claim Drogba was more exceptional than Toure. Drogba had only one season where he scored more than 20 goals. Toure did that as a defensive midfielder!

Right from France to Spain, to England, Toure was an absolutely exceptional player who could play centre back, midfield, striker and deliver an 8/10 performance each time.

This has to be the most shocking football opinion I have ever heard.

IamDora:
How many men on NL can play football like Oshoala?

And you tell me what a man can do, a woman can't do better

Many. Female football is at a very low level compared to men's football. Very very low.

Dude, there’s no diplomacy in soccer. In soccer, particularly in the Nations Cup, there’s no dulling.

If you want to be diplomatic, go to United Nations or AU.

Eagles are going to war.

This set of Eagles? Don't get your hopes up.

robosky02:
She is a bigger legend

He won 4 African footballer of the year men award

She has won 6 African footballer of the year women award

Come off it. We don't disrespect our female icons but the men's game is a whole different ball game. Toure is one of the best footballers, male or female to have ever played the game.

I get her point but honestly, you don't get to say "talk is cheap" when talking to one of the greatest African legends of all time. He walked the talk already. I know the context in which she meant it but it would have been better expressed diferently.

abdeefggh:
Three south west states made it to top four, this is one of the indications that South west has the biggest population by far, not northwest. It also indicates that yoruba is most likely the biggest tribe in Nigeria

That's a hasty conclusion. The two SW states other than Lagos who made it to the list are States that attract a high population due to proximity to Lagos. I would suggest that Lagos, Ibadan, and Abeokuta are possibly populated by as much as 40% of Nigerians from other regions.

You can test this theory by comparing with the next largest Yoruba state.

Wait.....


You earn 400k and donates 200k monthly to a girl that is merely a girlfriend?


I suppose, if you channel the amount ofoney you dash your ungrateful gf into a business, you'd be having a bountiful profits. Or giving such to your parents will attract more blessings.... Innaaaaa, you chose to be a lover boy🙄


Asking us if you should breakup with her means you don't even know your right from your left .... You're confused whether to continue wing a simp or to man up and plan for yourself and future.

You earn 400k and you don't have sense...🤔

How did almost 100k turn into 200k? Softly softly.

You're not serious at all. You don't know that Nigeriam leaders were given every opportunity in the 50s to split up if they wanted? You are still blaming Lugard who is long gone.

Jokers.

Ijaw dealt with your Yoruba https://www.nairaland.com/3259658/clash-ijaw-security-operatives-around

Ghana must go only happened in Lagos ...the Yoruba mob chased Ghana people away


Hausa dealt with yoruba at Mile 12 Ketu https://www.nairaland.com/2968911/yoruba-hausa-clash-mile-12

Igbo fought Yoruba at elections around Ago Palace

Bigotry has eaten so deep into this one. Funnily, I am from the SS, much closer in heritage to the Ijaws than to Yorubas but that is irrelevant.

1. I asked for a source and you gave me a nairaland link with no source, just rumours, of which the post itself fingers the Ijaws as being the troublemakers fighting with security operatives:

sotozo:
Early Sunday Morning and it seems this Ijaw people are at war with security operatives around Ikorodu /Igbo Olomu/Isawo /Ogijo area.

Been hearing sounds of gunshots and bombs all through the night.

These Ijaw people won't just stop causing trouble everywhere

So what have you proven like this, your point or mine?? Are you smart?

2. Hausa dealt with Yorubas in a Yoruba majority area and still live there till today? Wow these Yorubas must be real averse to violence. I wonder if that could happen in Kano or Onitsha.

3. Igbos fought Yorubas in Lagos and you're proud? Yet with all the killings and destruction of Igbo lives an property in the north, we've never heard that Igbos fought Hausas in Kano. Why is it Lagos they chose to fight in? These Yorubas must be rather on the gentle side, huh?

I think you need to rest.

It's imperative Nigerians who has been bitten by the Japa bug to try and read and understand the laws of their host country as touching what constitutes an [b] Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence, etc.

It really has nothing to do with the laws of the home country because we have similar laws here in Nigeria.

ariesbull:
Yoruba are the most accommodating yet they sent Ghana people away via Ghana must go in 80s

They are more accommodating yet they carry placard to send Igbo home

They are more accommodating yet the fight Hausa at Agege


They are more accommodating yet they fought Ijaw at Agility and boundary area of of Apapa


Tell that accommodating bullshit to marines

It's one thing to have an opinion and its another thing to tell lies to drive an agenda. I want to advise you to stop this deceptive way of behaviour.

1. Ghana must go was an initiative of the Shagari government. Shagari was a northerner which you know very well.

2. The Hausa and Yoruba fought in a minor riot way back in 2000 which is more than 20 years ago. Not one Hausa person has used this to claim Yorubas are not accommodating but you are here digging desperately into the archives to find evidence of some so-called acrimony.

Meanwhile is it not funny that foreigners can fight indigenes in their hometown? If not for being accommodating, how else could this happen?

3. Ijaw and Yoruba fight never happened. If you insist, post any source you have to back it up. I don't understand why you wold lie - why are you so desperate to prove this point?

4. Yoruba carrying placard for Igbos to go home yet Igbos are living and doing business in peace - does that not sound like a joke?

Both the North and East have done far worse so if you're not from the middle belt or SS, you are a big hypocrite.

Funnily all that you have cited, is all around Lagos. It's almost as if your understanding of "Yorubaland" starts and ends with Lagos. Smh.

Nothing weird about that. The weird ones are the ones to be found there.

ariesbull:
Are south Africans blacks welcoming with their xenophobia?


Are Lagos Yoruba welcoming others with their Ghana must go mentality and Omo Ibo go back ?


Tell yourself the truth

First of all, we are talking about black Africans in general being welcoming of people of other races. It's a racism question not xenophobia.
But beyond that, come of it.

After the middle belt, the Yorubas are probably the most accommodating of Nigerians. For all the omo Ibo talk, Ibos have settled happily all over the southwest with no fear of being targeted. I thought actions speak louder than words?

Igbos have even built some of the largest markets in Lagos. The same is probably true of places like Ibadan. When we grew up in Church and school in those days, we didn't know who was Yoruba or who was Igbo or who was not even from Nigeria.

The educated masses of Southern Nigeria have generally never had serious problems with each other, and the Yorubas have been quite noble in that regard. Has anyone ever been killed in Yoruba land solely for being Igbo or any other tribe? This has happened in the North and East, so how can you claim it is the Yorubas who are the problematic ones?

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Oga, imo has it all , from basic education to professorship .
I have always known that IMO has the highest number of professors in Nigeria , nuc stated that.

What do some of you smoke ?

I don't doubt that Imo can have the highest number of professors, however I haven't seen data to support it, and in cany case, Imo is a state, not a region. We are talking about regions here. Please share the data though!

I smoke regular bush herbs, the Canada stuff and regular cigs. And Ghana herbs too, thanks for asking.

foleskay:
Africans are polluting the blood of Europe and America. Later some black will say Whites are racists. Blacks can never take what they re dishing at whites.

I'll never condemn the whites or Europeans. They saved us from misery.

What do you mean? For centuries we Africans have welcome migrants even though most came by force.

In South Africa there are people pf Dutch, British and Indian origin. In Kenya, a huge Indian population. Tons of germans settledbin Namibia.

Today Nigeria welcomes a steady stream of Indians, Chinese, Lebanese and grants them all sorts of privileges.

It's shocking that you choose to repeat that shocking line "Africans are polluting the blood of Europe."

You need to take some time to get off the internet and reason with yourself.

Not true



West Africans are the largest followed by indians in the UK

West Africa is not a country. Compare with South East Asia.

CheedyJ:
Even in the Uk, Indians still many pass Nigerians wella.

Pakistanis still before Nigerians.

PHIPEX:
You dont have the data but from your observations, how many states have you been to and observed? How many LG or community have you observed? You have not met 0.000001% of Nig population so where did you observe?

Forgot those baseless claims, check NYSC data, Imo leads by wild margin in higher education. Your claim is spurred by age old propaganda led by a section of the traditional media without data.

I don't need to have met all of Nigeria's population to form an opinion. I never insisted that my opinion was correct either. I didn't get my data from any media sources either so I don't know what propaganda has to do with it. After all the flip side of this education coin is that Igbos don't focus on education as much as they do business and that is equally good since a nation cannot be built on the back of PhDs alone.

Now, in order to make progress at all, let us agree on what the actual question is.

The question I am answering is which region is the leader by depth of education. That means, on average, in which region are we likely to find more PhD holders than others? That tells us which region places a higher value of going deeper with their education as one dimension of education.

Now, in that context, I would be happy to review any data that shows which region produces the most PhD holders, if you can share a source. You can also share the NYSC data or let me know where exactly to find it.

YourKarma:
PhD isn't a measure of literacy. If it was, the basics for contesting for presidency in Nigeria won't be a WAEC degree, will it?

Even my late grandma spoke English. I'm sure you've never met an Igbo man who wasn't, at least, able to speak the English language but during my stay in Ogun Waterside, I was shocked to meet people who couldn't speak a word in English.

I don't even want to talk about the people in the north, they're on a whole different level

There is nowhere in any of my posts where I said a PhD is a measure of literacy. My point has always been that literacy itself is one way to measure how educated a group of people are and another way to measure is to check how deep they tend to go with their education.

It's a question of width versus depth and I'm not saying either one is necessarily better either. Rather, I'm saying that education is a big picture and one piece of the puzzle, such as literacy alone, may not tell the whole story.

Igbos can be more literate because they go to primary and secondary school at a high rate, which I personally observed from my time in the east, but that alone is not enough to say Igbos are the most educated because education has several dimensions.

YourKarma:
All available stats on literacy says you're wrong

Literacy stats have nothing to do with higher education. A high rate of literacy means people are going to primary school and secondary school. How does that have any bearing on higher education, particularly up to the PhD level??

Jeon:
Why can't women be polygamous since men are polygamous in nature?.

I always laugh whenever I see complains like this, for fuvk sake men also engage in sexual explore with other ladies, but will get pissed off if the same card is been played on them.

Do you have some information to show that this particular guy was also unfaithful? If not, what is the point of your rant??

Goodday90:
Some people always say that Ekiti is the most Educated state and they have no evidence to back that up,just the bogus claim that every house in Ekiti has a Professor which has not been proven by any data

There are different ways to measure education. Most literate is one metric, and it measures the spread of basic education. The proportion of individuals with higher education is another way to measure it.

Now we may not have the stats but from observation, it seems reasonable to suggest that the Yorubas, and to some extent, the South Southerners, particularly of Edo and Delta, may be the leaders when it comes to higher education.

fidelmarshal199:
Did you read the post at all? The boy was only protesting with his father for making their private affairs public. which I think it's right.

Like an African Proverbs says "when 2 elephants fight, it's the grass that bears the brunt"

I wonder how a fight between a man and his wife becomes "our" affairs from the perspective of the child? A man is talking about losing all he worked for and all his son can say is stop talking about our affairs publicly, in other words, stop putting my mother to shame.

Read between the lines.

So 8 out of 48 is 30%? It's literally 1/6, or about half of 30%.

See the kind of person that you people give attention to in this country?

Obviously a skit.
