SOCIAL CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE.

For the purpose of briefly describing the social condition of the people, Southern Nigeria may be divided into two parts, the Western Province forming one, and the Central and Eastern Provinces together forming the other, The Yoruba-speaking tribes, which occupy practically the whole of the Western Province, lave attained o state of civilization many degrees higher than that reached by the numerous tribes of the other two provinces, and on this account should be considered separately.

Pride of race is one of the factors that have pushed the Yoruba onward, whilst past wars with neighbors, together with internal disruption, have asisted in making him keen, wide-awake, and comparatively energetic. Excellent ougonic marriage laws late helped him to keep down disease and maintain unimpaired the physique of his race.

The Yorubas are law-abiding, and a sound system of Laws is administered by the native authorities with the assistance of the British officers stationed in the various districts.The most per-fect compromise between British and native low in nil Southern Nigeria is, perhaps, that of the "mixed" court ot Abeukuta, the capital of Egbaland, where the District Commissioner sits os president, with two Egba judges to assist him.

The Yorubas are to a very large extent pagan; there are, how ever, numerous European missions established thronghout the province, while the Moslem faith has many adherents. A large number of well-attended schools, Government and otherwise, exist, and the advantages of education nre much sought after.

It may be said of the Yoruba that he is to-day the readiest of all the tribes of Southern Nigeria, possibly in all tropical West Atrica, to adopt, and to adapt himself to, that "civilization " which British rule deems good for him.

Turning to the Central and Eastern Provinces, we find, with few exceptions, the pure-bred Inokun or Aro of the Ibo race, the Bini of the Benin territories, and the Igarra with his wonderfully organised feudal system--a congeries of tribes speaking a multitude of different languages and dialects, all in degree somewhat inferior to the Yoruba-speaking people.

Of these tribes, the lowest in the social scale are undoubtedly the Ibibios and the fishing folk of the creek region of the Nigen delta: these people have the most degraded customs, and lent lives Between these lowest
the Cross River tribes, the Efiks of Calabar, the Jekris, Ijaws, and Sobos of the Central Provinee, and the various Iho-speaking tribes of the country lying between the Niger and Cross Rivers-all of them inferior to the Yoruba of the Western Provinee, but superior in various degrees to the Ibibio and Niger delta people.

The bolded is very, true. Just a little case study of Ghana, Burkinafaso, Niger, infact any African countries which Yorubas have been living for so many decades have built a reputation of not wanting anything that will make them to be arrested by police let alone end up in prison.
Go to the prisons all around Africa today, check out the Nigerians in their prisons find out their tribes you will notice a particular consistency when you tabulate your out come. I won't say more than this.

Flood in Anambra State?! Is that even possible at all?!

When Jonathan was President, his National Security Advicer had this to say.

givedemwotowoto:
The usual suspects will tell you that this man is on his own, that nobody knows him. But if he had said anything to support the government, then you would’ve seen “Obidient Movement is finished”

Na you carry Obidient movement enter thread o, and still dey complain.😁

Same sentiment was entertained by Muslims when Jonathan was the President.

Especially when the CAN President's jet was caught in South Africa, involved in the smuggling of weapons for Jonathan's government.

Just imagine how Nigerians are talking with pride about corruption of this thread.

Is it true he offered to pay them off with five years salary before PENGASSAN pulled that string?!

phorget:
Bandits just overran the Nigerian army with lots of catches in their possession but Kanu is your problem...
It's all well and good Sha, I hope we can all push for the igbos to go away so we can have a breather with our Fulani brothers but like I'll always tell everybody that cares to listen, IGBOS ARE NEVER YOUR PROBLEM.

All I said is I will give Igbos their wish if made President which automatically means Kanu being released as a fulfilment of his wish. You are the one bringing up issues.

FarahAideed:
Its people on the thread that were saying that

Well your thread will educate them. You see, the whole Genesis of this Boko Haram wasn't meant to be this tragic. But the Nigerian government really mismanaged the situation most especially under GEJ, though it started with Yar adua. I think GEJ was afraid he would lose Northern support to be re elected if he went all out for those who were behind Boko Haram in the North.

FarahAideed:
The thread is not the same with the one on front thread , this thread is here to dispute the lies that Jonathan was the one that nominated Buhari ...it's not to cast aspersion on General Buhari but to bring clarity to who nominated him before he declined

Did Garba Shehu say Jonathan nominated him?! Or you are referring to those who are making comments on the thread?

It was BOKO HARAM that nominated him.

You have run here to open another thread that is already on front page.

What is in the article that is making you jubilate. Infact I know very well why Buhari was nominated. It was because of that aura of 'MR INTEGRITY' that would will do justice on both sides.

After all the Government of Yar'adua/Jonathan were responsible for the cold murder of Muhammad Yusuf the leader of the sect Leadership of Jama’atul Ahlis Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, labeled as Boko Haram afterwards. Till date nobody has told the world how an aimless man, in custody of the Police was killed.

Muhammad Yusuf preaching was that people who have western Education have been the ones being put in offices to oversee the affairs of the nation but have failed to be honest and diligent in their discharge of the trust given to them.

That was what earned the sect the label BOKO HARAM by a radio presenter.

AndroBlaze:
To be honest, with the internet, I wonder how sensible youths still fall for politicians traps by believing everything they say when a simple google search will show you that almost all of them speak from the 2 sides of their mouth on every issue.

Well done to the person who found the article but everyone that doesn't have the memory of a goldfish knew there was nothing wrong with what GEJ said earlier

ZombieDredd:
Spider man.

Keep spinning the webs
U guys never disappoint even in the face of clear evidence

Where is the evidence?! You can see why you are the first that crossed my mind?!

ZombieDredd:
Did you see that thread on IQ of nigerians?

Toh!!
Toh!!

Immediately I saw it. You were the first Nigerian that came to my mind.

jmoore:
Use of English 101, too hard for you.

The good news is that you must not understand everything.

I have not read any where about the insinuation made by GEJ. The article by Garba is about patronizing Buhari to accept Boko Haram 's invitation to be the mediator between them and the government which he rejected.

Yet I still don't understand what the thread aims at achieving.

What is this thread about because I don't understand. I have read it like 5 times now.

phorget:
I have never been against anyone having a separate country neither have I been in support, I only pointed out the fault in your choice.
Now let me get this straight, would you rather prefer someone destroying his own home or someone destroying his home and also destroying yours?The gentle Jack you mentioned is basically stationed in the SE and has not in anyway affected you whike the Fulani I mentioned are gradually encroaching to the SE through Kwara State route.

Nigeria is actually a funny country, their sense of judgement always baffles me. This is how hateful we can be in this country, a country that arrested Kanu who only threatened, but same Nigeria would prefer dialoguing with terrorists that actually carry out both threats and killing. This is strange though.

You want to down play the deaths instigated by Nnamdi Kanu in the South West?!

Kwara State is not a Yoruba State.

Igbos say they want to be left to themselves and I said I will gladly do that for them if I become President but you are still not satisfied.

Abuja youth and this is one of them below already dealt with by Wike.

CharlotteFlair:
I thought you and your type said Peter Obi refused to condemn Ipob wrong activities. Now tell me, where are the cows?

You mean after he was pressured to condemn them?!

phorget:
Then you'll live with the Fulanis that will keep sacking your villages and kidnapping and raping your people. Igbos are never your problem but you all made it look like what you want it to look like.

I can only sense a feeling of being offended by my sincerity.

Those killing Igbos in the South East are not Fulanis. Gentle Yahoo and his likes are not Fulani.
I am wondering why you choose not happy. I will gladly allow Igbos to have their own separate country if I become President today.

G0odharddick:
Seems like dividing this country is the best thing to do now.

For once I'm supporting nnamdi kanu

Lol 😂. Even Peter Obi couldn't deny the wrong doing by IPOB in the South East despite his support for them.

Bigchris01:
Before you start to drag Peter Obi go and read United Nations self determination rules there’s no place in the world where agitating for freedom is being refers to as terrorism, IPOB aren’t terrorist, they’re fighting to break out from Nigeria tell me exactly what Bokoharam are fighting for!

Simone Ekpa is in jail in Finland for what exactly?!
Bigchris01 yet Obi condemn IPOB for wrong doing. Why?!
