₦airaland Forum

LoL, that's what u get on a faceless forum like this. So many childish peeps. I dont think any matured person will do such.
Besides why do u care? Or do u crush on ladies here a lot?

Hmm, just seeing this post. Wonderful tips. I hope the guys get the message.

Delonn:
For the record. Urhobo occupies Delta Central, part of Delta South and Sagbama in Bayelsa. This is verifiable. Gwari could have produced two heads of State, that doesn't makes them one of the largest ethnic group. While IBB was a Military head of State AA was an interim head of State, these two regimes had nothing to do with population.

Urhobo people occupy the 8 LGAs of Delta central and i think parts of Warri south and those in Bayelsa are just in 1 LGA.
Gbagyi people on the other hand dominate the whole of FCT (6 LGAs). Gbagyi people dominate the 11 LGAs of Niger east senatorial district. The same Gbagyi are found in 3 LGAs in Nasarawa state, In Kaduna state they are the second largest tribe found in 4 LGAs and they are also found in 1 LGA in Kogi state. Now tell me how on earth Urhobos can challenge a tribe like this.
Gbagyis are the most widely spread tribe in the middlebelt but Tivs and Nupes can challenge them in the region.

Okay nice

Which kind of story is this?

The musculature and a handsome face

I am neither yoruba nor Igbo but the truth is that Igbo men are extremely strong, hard headed, tough, resilient and defiant. Even the european slave masters had it in record that the igbo slaves were very stubborn.

But one thing i want the Igbo men to know is that physical strength and stubborness does not pay all the time. Sometimes you have to act like a 'coward' in a wise,cunning or diplomatic way to have what you want, just like the yorubas do.

It would be almost impossible for yorubas and Igbos to ever unite.

Rubbish

NovusHomo:
"Hausa-Fulani" is the myth (scam) that has been sold to make us believe that "they" are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria. If that is true, then various combinations are possible. Example is Yoruba-Edo.

Hausa fulani identity is not actually a myth. They have somehow become one in most parts of the north (northwest). Milliions of fulanis have been hausanized because they settled in hausa land. And both tribes have over intermarried and cannot be differentiated in many places.

iconize:
Don't mind these people. Any person with an IQ above 10% knows that the Ijos are not even the 8th largest ethnic group in Nigeria.

Even another Ijo clown on here claimed that the Ijos are up to 15million. Lool.

Ijaws no even reach 5 million. Bayelsa is a very scanty and empty state. In Rivers the ijaws are heavily dominated by the igbo groups, in Delta they are minority behind Urhobos and Delta Igbos.
Now how can someone compare Ijaw with a tribe like Kanuri? Kanuris control the in and out of Borno and Yobe states, they are also very many in Bauchi, Jigawa and Gombe states. Not to talk of Tivs who are even recognised in Cameroon and are the largest tribe in the middlebelt.

tivity101:
the 4th largest ethnic group should be the ijaws. reason is because they occupy the entire bayelsa, some parts of rivers, delta, ondo and even some coastal region of lagos state

Bayelsa is a very small state with a small population, can u compare Bayelsa with Borno and Yobe states where Kanuris rule and dominate?

Kanuris are the 4th largest. Tivs are even more than ijaws. It's not about having one village is every state. What is the size and population of the state, how many local government areas and senatorial districts do you have in those states?

ceejayxy:
ijaw has produced governors in rivers bayelsa n even president..but wetin concern governor concern Large tribe ni?..

Ijaw only produced governor in Rivers because Bayelsa was part of Rivers then, but since Bayelsa left Rivers, ijaws can no longer produce governor in Rivers.
Kanuri has been producing governors in Borno and Yobe states even since when Yobe left Borno till tomorrow.
Sani Abacha was a Kanuri man.

It is extremely embarrasing that someone can say Urhobo or Ijaw are the 4th largest tribe in Nigeria.
Where did the person put Kanuris, Tivs and Nupes?
Urhobos are found in only Delta central.

Nupes are the only minority group who have produced governors of 3 different states (Kwara, Niger and Kano).
And the same Nupes are also all over Kogi state and Federal capital territory.

Kanuri people are the only ones who produce governors in Borno and Yobe states. They are the largest tribe in the north-east. They are also found in Jigawa, Bauchi and Gombe states.

Tiv people are all over Benue, Nasarawa, Taraba and even Cross river state where they are among the majority groups. They are also in Cameroon in large numbers.

Gwari people have produced 2 head of state in Nigeria (Babangida and Abdulsalami Abubakar). Gbagyi (Gwari) people are among the largest tribes in Kaduna, Niger and Nasarawa states, they own majority of FCT and they are also found in Kogi.

The problem is that most southernerns think the whole north and middlebelt is Hausa-fulani which is very very wrong and ignorant!

buchilino:
HONESTLY, BW D TWO I REALLY DON'T NO WHO IS D INDISPUTABLE SEX CHAMPIONS

You guys should leave the Niger delta and visit Benue. The average Benue woman gives birth to 12 children in her lifetime. Dont try Tiv people o.
Have u not heard that in those days in Benue people use their wives to welcome their friends with sex?

But wait to how come you people are not mentioning NUPES and GWARI people? These are among the largest tribes in the middlebelt.

Nupe people are the largest tribe in Niger state, the second largest tribe in Kwara state and they are found in large numbers in Kogi state and FCT.

lekkie073:
which kanuri?
ijaws r larger than kanuris
kanuri r not even occupying 30% of borno state

Oga u dont know what u are saying o.
Only Kanuris produce the governor in Borno and Yobe states. The same kanuris are also found in Jigawa and Bauchi state in large numbers.
Kanuri are the 4th largest group. I dont think Ijaws can even be up to Tivs in population.

nwabobo:
The Igbos are the largest followed by the Yorubas and then the Hausas. The 4th are the Efik/Ibibio and then the Ijaw

So where do u put Kanuris, Tivs, Nupes and Gwari?
For the fact that you have been living all ur life in the south does mean the south is all of Nigeria.

dimieprincess:
Do you even know the Ijaws? They are the largest indigenous ethnic group in Rivers State. Some of you need to purge your self this hatred. Ijaws have a governor, 2 deputy governor, 5 senators and 13 reps, so tell me the language other than Ijaws with this feet

The Kanuri people of Borno and Yobe state have 2 governors, 6 senators and over 15 house of reps

Roman83:
muslims re not up to 35% in ondo state.. We ve not heard of christian deputy governor in north west and north east out side kaduna dat is even a Christian state but ruled by a muslim.. Lets see d examples from north west and north east first then d rest state will follow.

Even the north-east is not a muslim zone. It's only the North-west (hausa land) that is primarily muslim except Kaduna.
Taraba and Adamawa are christian dominated states with minority groups but the muslims have succeeded in silencing the christian majority in Adamawa, but Taraba christians are stronger and more united that is why no muslim will ever rule Taraba.
One third of Borno is christian dominated (Borno south).
Only Bauchi and Yobe are overwhemingly muslim dominated but still you have strong christian populations there.
As for Gombe, that state is a 50/50, even if the muslims are now more it is because of so many hausa immigrants from Bauchi and Kano.
So, only Hausa land (northwest) is primarily muslims. Even the southern parts of Kebbi state who are not hausas are dominantly christians. Kaduna is a 50/50.

ColdHeatt:
Check the Middle Belt; anywhere the Christians have a population advantage, they occupy both Gov and Dep-Gov offices. Plateau and Benue on point here.
Where Muslims are more, they give the Deputy to Christians. Nasarawa, Kwara, Kogi and even Kaduna in NorthWest attest.
Niger has Muslim-Muslim just this once.
Let's try to feel how the minorities feel.
Muslims are up to 35% in Ondo State.

U must be very silly to claim thag Nasarawa, Kaduna and Kogi are predominantly muslims. These states are very much 50/50 or the christians are even more, but because the christians do not unite the muslims keep on winning elections.
As for Benue and Plateau, these states are overwhemingly christians, almost all the muslims here are settlers and are not indigenes.

Why did u not mention Kebbi, Borno and Bauchi states i Mr Liar. Or don't u know that these states have over 25% christians each? Muslims are oppressing christians politically in Nigeria because christians are not agressive or fanatic about their religion

I rep Federal Government girls college Langtang, Plateau state.

Seun:
They are just wrong. Prayer only works when not praying would also have worked. If you pray for the sun to rise tomorrow morning, your prayer will be answered, but if you pray for something that requires supernatural intervention, it simply won't happen. 2000 years ago, Jesus promised that Christians would be able to pick mountains up and cast them into the sea at will. Till date, nothing like this has ever happened. A thoughtful spouse is worth a thousand prayer warriors.

jaymejate:
Truly, fasting and praying even with bible quotes ONLY will NEVER solve any problem. That's why "a solution without step or move is just a theory with no problem solving ability".
Praying works but a step must be taking. And that's FAITH
I have never seen someone that pray concerning a problem and get miracle without taking a practical step in solving the problem. If something like that happen, it's just meant to happen naturally (nature).

U guys may have a point that some things that will be will be whether being prayed for or not, but however you guys cannot deny the fact that prayer has also worked for some people.

What will you say about some sick people whom the medical professionals have given up on their cases and given them up to death, but only for such people to be prayed for and they become instantly whole again? Or dont u guys know that medical science has it's limitations? There are many cases of sudden healings and miracles which even the medical practicioners are shocked and cannot explain. If you doubt it go and confirm from them. What do u have to say then?

Some people who share healing testimonies in church bring evident medical before and after results to prove.
So what will you guys say about these?

We have seen a case whereby a woman whose womb was removed due to damage yet she conceived and gave birth. All medical practicioners were dumbfounded. Have you guys ever watched Pastor Chris healing school program for instance and see the instant miracles performed and televised live? Or the atmosphere for miracles where live healings are testified and confirmed? Are you guys saying all these activities involving millions of people are all stage managed or they were meant to happen naturally? If you say they were meant to happen naturally, then why did the natural happenings choose to take place exactly at those times synonymously? You guys have to admit it that there are many phenomenon that neither science nor logical reasoning can explain.

Seun:
I think a spouse who offers practical solutions to your difficulties is far more valuable than one whose solution to every difficult problem is prayer and fasting and what does the bible say, which tends to fail precisely when you need it most. (Actually, it always fails, but you won't realize it until it fails you in a big way)

LoL, how do u know it always fails? What of people who share testimonies of miracles and actually believe that it works? What do u make of them?

GiantParrot:
The atheist very likely does not believe in any of this. The agnostic would only be swayed by objective evidence completely devoid of foul play. Not hearsay or fear mongering. Any suspicion of attempts to deceive contaminates the evidence. So far, many agnostics have seen no objective and repeatable evidence.



What exactly is a spiritual encounter? Hallucination may actually be a credible explanation for what many influenced by fear interpret as spiritual encounters. I'm no expert here, but psychologists know today that influence of drugs and malfunctions in the brain for some reason can lead to what could be perceived as paranormal encounters. It is far more logical to believe explanations that use premises with repeatable outcomes, as can be seen with experiments using hallucination inducing drugs, than to believe in some indefensible explanation that thrives mostly in the presence of fear.



As of today, right and wrong is determined by the law. Granted, the law may have some roots in religious principles. However in advanced countries, the laws have evolved in an attempt to ensure everyone gets justice and fairness. Am I saying just legal systems supersede popular religion? Yes of course. For example, neither Christianity or Islam condemn slavery. Both the quran and the bible's Old Testament encourage slavery. The New Testament admonishes slaves on how to be better slaves. But a completely earthly body in the form of UN has been working very hard to eradicate slavery! Legal codes recognize that justice and fairness to all provides the best environment for collective human progress, and there lies the basis for morality.

Ok, thank u for ur response.

anigbajumo:


Stop deceiving people out of yer ignorance, Muslim has nothing to do with terror attacks.Terrorist attacks Muslims mostly nd they had killed more Muslims than people from any other religion in the world.Pls don't come here nd paint Islam black in the name of justifying atheism. How many times av u seen Muslim on this forum open thread to against atheism or write something bad about atheist. So pls,stop tanish the image of Islam.

Nobody is tarnishing the image of islam my dear, Islamic fanatics are always available to tarnish the image of islam.
For instance in Nigeria, everyone can attest to thr fanatic and destructive nature of many hausa-fulani muslims compared to the yoruba and middlebelt muslims who are more liberal.
So whether you admit it or not, about half or one-third of the world islamic population are islamic fanatics and these people have already tarnished their image enough. So swerve.

stephenmorris:
haba lol,then come and marry me na abeg,just dump the other atheist guy na, ;Dhaba lol,then come and marry me na abeg,just dump the other atheist guy na,

LoL

stephenmorris:
open a differnt thread for this abeg and summon all the atheists u know here

Ok, i think i will

ianSweet:
LoL, OP thank you for describing Nigerian and African men, they are the most insecure creatures ever created.
This is why i usually tell ladies to live their lives naturally and just be themselves and let any man who will come your way love u for who you are. If he wants to leave, he should leave, because even if you kill yourself, you can never still please the average Nigerian man. He will always find some reasons to complain about you.

My sister, i think you are correct. But not all of our men are like that, however i think about half of them or the majority especially in marriages.
You can imagine a married woman will be managing with her husband when he has nothing and would be there for him, but once he starts making money, he abandons her and goes for more babes outside. I can't count the amount of advances i have turned down from married men.
The faithful wife is managing with you African man and you claim she is boring and not fascinating enough, if she starts demanding for money for high cosmetic, hairstyling and expensive clothing and jewellry bills, you will call her a spendthrift and extravagant wife who spends anyhow.

I really think a lot of men do not actually know what they want from a woman.

firstking01:
Hope you are done with him finally??

Yes i am, why are u asking? Are you single?

Pls i have some few personal questions i want atheists here to answer, i will really appreciate your responses cos i really want to understand how all of u guys see life and probably learn a thing or two.

1) Do u atheists completely disbelieve the existence of the spiritual realm or spiritual powers?
If yes, then are u guys saying spiritual practices like witchcraft, Occultism, Herbalist practices and prophecies are completely non-existent or completely powerless?

2) What if u guys had a spiritual attack or encounter?
What will you do?
Who will you go to for counsel?
How will you inteprete it?
Or will you guys say you have never had such encounters before?
If negative, then what about those who have had spiritual encounters? will you guys say such people are all lying or are just hallucinating?

3) Since you atheists don't have an officially unified code of guideliness or scriptural stipulations guiding your ways of life, do you guys personally define your own personal codes of conduct?
If yes, how do u know what is wrong or right?
If you say you depend on your conscience for what is wrong or right, how sure are you that a conscience may never go wrong, be broken or be hardened and hereby deliver wrong judgements?

stephenmorris:
we are not willing to die,have u seen moslems attacking unbelievers verbally or physically, is it something you like,we are wiser than that these days ,we dont go about telling people physically except on social media

hopefulLandlord:
now you got my message clearly, good
it doesn't make sense to you because you're not in our shoes especially in an ultra religious country like ours
people get denied jobs for being atheist, some get killed for being one, some get called "devil worshipper", some get fired from their place of work, some get avoided like a plague, lecturers fail certain students for being atheist, certain people see atheist as something " subhuman" who doesn't even deserve to live
while a Christian and Muslim and has a mythical and imaginary heaven to look forward to, an atheist has NOTHING to gain from being persecuted or killed for atheism, he/she would only suffer and suffer for daring to come out, so we pretend like we are one of you, go to churches/mosques/shrines, do what many people do so as to survive and thrive
call it cowardice or anything you want but if you think through it without prejudice, you'll realise it only makes sense we keep our lack of belief to ourselves in the real world

Yes it's true that you guys are intimidated in religious countries especially and you guys are really misrepresented and misintepreted by people. Most people just think you guys are monsters, i used to too. If not that i have dated an atheist and really known what it's like, i wouldn't have ever believed anything u guys say.
Atheists are not intimidated in non religious countries like these Western countries and these socialist countries like China, Russia e.t.c where non religious people are the majority.
For me, I think you guys should be proud of yourselves and assert your identities. It may not be easy, but i think the pioneers of every struggle or belief in a particular place usually face strong oppositions, challenges and even life threatening issues, but at the end of the day their legacy lives on and spreads and is enjoyed by more people.

I dislike atheists for the way they completely disregard God and speak of God anyhow without respect but l like the way u guys provoke rational thinking, you guys are very very intelligent people. There are some kind of things my atheist boyfriend will say that i just dont have any answer or clue to and i wonder how or from where he knows or learnt all these. That's actually the reason i fell for him.
But my earnest advice for u guys will be to accept Jesus christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. That is true love. Always having someone to lean on and he is always there for u.

stephenmorris:
you sound like someone scared of men ,

Yes o. Their bad side terrifies me. I can't imagine the man i claim to love who also claims to love me and the one whom i gave myself to start maltreating me or worse off to hit me. I am so much afraid of the hitting part.
