OP I understand you want to upgrade your social class. you also feel being exploited by this friend of yours because you pay all the bills when you both hang out.

if you are that well to do as you claim (and he is your friend), why not connect him to bigger opportunities?

if you were friends with otedolas son (who is above you financially and socially), would you want him to drop you like a hot potato too? be sincere...

help him grow, but if you feel he is pulling down, talk to him about it (albeit politely) because no one wants to be seen as a parasite, so be nice and mature about it.

There are more people in Nigeria than Hausa Igbo and Yoruba.

Why is it so hard to give credit to whom credit is due : the Ikoi and Edgam around Nigeria and Cameroon. Then we can all share it as Africans.

Nsibidi is the pride of Africans period.

there is no source that says it actually originated from ekoi. credit was given to them simply because more nisbidi was found there.

my point? nsibidi transcends one ethnicity.... all the ideographic scripts were not made by just one tribe.

The ekoi, Igbo, Ibibio, efik are all nsibidi users and it became part of their culture. SIMPLE.

ImperialYoruba:

Superlightning, somehow you are blind.

You are supplying to me now what i asked for and you first denied to me in previous posts. Beside that, I also foretold you what I expected to get....insults, vulgars, memes...im surprised Ibadan rooftops are not already splashed on here, or tribal marked faces. That really surprised me. Im not timid at all when it comes to flogging Ibo on internet, but for sake of my interest to debunk nsibidi as an oroginal work im going to bite tongue and focus.

Thanks for links. Ill be back. In fact, no....i wont be back, ill excuse myself from this thread...but ill open my own to debunk nsibidi. I recognize the works that has gone into the project and i give creadit to those pioneers. Nonetheless, it is not an antique material.

go and die on top east matter, jobless afonja. your rant on naira land are inconsequential.

nsibidi was not a project, it was an ancient ideographic and logographic script. it has been reinvented today by researchers native to eastern Nigeria.

op, here is a third link on nsibidi and its scope

OP this link as well will also help. efforts are being made to restore and re-invent to the hidden and almost lost nsibidi.

ImperialYoruba:
Ajami was the lingua franca of West Africa, what is referred as SUDAN BELT. It is the writing system of ancient Black Arabs.

Arab as an ethnicity is different from Arab as a religion. So when we say Ajami some people get scared by that word because they instantly mis interprete it to mean Islam.

Islam met Ajami already in use in West Africa. In fact spread of Islam was aided by literate scribes who recorded history and accounts of ancient times.

For instance in Hausaland all records of ancestry that did not line up with Islam practice were ignorantly destroyed.

In Yorubaland the works of Ajami were preserved against religious fanaticism but our own intra-conflicts and wars torched many palaces and thus ruined written but preserved records. As at 1950 there were still many Ajami works on Yoruba that were retrieved from the palace of Timi of Ede. Even as far away as Timbuktu, scholars found records of Yoruba scribes documented in the Ajami linguafranca.

The same damage done to Hausa treasures were also done in the far away Arabian lands where all records and artifacts of the people before Islam were completely destroyed leaving only Islam as the recognizable history and antiquity.

On the topic of nsibidi, i dont believe the claim is authentic given that prominent articles are missing in the record itself...and these are records which no native people will ever ignore to identify or feature because their daily life and survival depend on it. It will be asking someone to draw his face and when he finished there are no eyes. When asked why its not included he said he forgot.

Nsibidi is a noble work and the people that started should be commended for initiating a way to retrace steps and understand how their ancestors would have exchanged ideas.

Unfortunately riffraffs are turning it into badge of honor to mock those whose ancestors taught the Greeks how to navigate waters and read the horizon.

insecure buffoon still pushing his agenda here in an Igbo thread. why not open a seperate thread on your ajami whatever and leave nsibidi to its indigenous users alone?

you are too insignificant to begin to question the authenticity of nsibidi use. open your own ajami thread and stop trying to be noticed. thank God for documented research....losers...:

Some are here shouting sai baba because of budget presentation...... LOSERS.

ImperialYoruba:
You say Yoruba envy you...okay make we inspect your nsibidi, now you begin yinmu.

Where is nsibidi? Bring am here and prove me wrong.

You are up no good. You envy is already derailing the thread. Seriously I dont have time arguing with sickos. You know nothing about nsbidi, I wonder what on earth you want to inspect.Your inspection is inconsequential.

You must really think am stupid to be as stupid as you. Blame your forefathers for not having a writing system.

ImperialYoruba:
Okay we go talk in nsibidi today. You and i.


Do me a favor, load the full nsibidi lexicon here or give me link to the official record and archive if you have it.

I go show you say this thing na ongoing project and is not an artifact.

*yimu*

ImperialYoruba:
I already told you i know how Ibo approach matters like this. Attacks, assaults, if that doesnt do it you will soon introduce pictures of Ibadan roofs and Yoruba tribal marks...all because you cant get your way, so im prepared for your assaults but I will also use this opportunity to shut this nsibidi lie down.

This is not envy just plain truth.


I dont care if its recorded in smithsonian, nsibidi is a falsehood.

Nsibidi is a project, and when it started it should correctly have been promoted as an experiment to codify "how the indigeneous people would have exchanged ideas, if they had a writing record". Thus it will be received as a theoretical project to uncover past....instead of claiming it as a manuscript of ideas.

Anybody can put figures and symbols together to represent an idea....all humans had this capability. It is different and dangerous however to translate cave drawings to thesis and scholarship. They are not!

All these junk post just because Yoruba had no writing system before the British came?

You don't blow another's candle off because yours isn't on. Envy does not pay. A million likes for your rant won't change a thing.

Project my foot. You know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about nsibidi. Let the Easterners tutor you on that.

It pains your demonic heart deeply that a writing system existed in the east before your ewedu tribe embraced civilization.

ImperialYoruba:
We have understudied Igbo and we know by now how you frame history to portray false greatness. When you are caught then instead of admitting you will begin to attack others. We know this.

All those ethnicities you listed dare not say nsibidi is their ancestral custom. They dare not say it out in public...not in the age of internet and online archives anyway. It is only ibo that make claims shamelessly hoping it will pass test time and the falsehood will become a truth. We didnt know you before...but we do now in age of instant verification and access.

Nsibidi does not belong to ekoi or ibibio or igbo or efik or any of these people you listed.

I wish I could see how green your envious face is.

You can't rewrite history. Nsibidi was part of Igbo civilization. It is well documented.

Ekoi, Ibibio, efik all had nsibidi as part of their way of life as well. It is not limited to just one ethnic nationality.

ImperialYoruba:
This info must be included for readers awareness when you post anything Nsibidi.

Wetin i wan jealous? Watch yourself.

Mmtcccheew.

Well, agree or not, nsibidi was part of Igbo civilization. That's the point.

Edodefender:
what bridges?

We are the most friendly ethnic group in Nigeria.

Most what? Error.....

ImperialYoruba:
Yanminri civilization is to hunt humans for feast and go nayked. Britain put cloth on you and taught you to hunt animal instead of fellow humans.

Nsibidi belonged to a different people, not Ibo owned. Stop this nonsense.

Nsibidi is trans ethnic (ekoi, Igbo, Ibibio, efik), because more scripts were found in ekoi region was the reason why anthropologists said it MAY have originated from there.

Don't let jealousy kill you biko.

Isuama was the very first dialect used.

googi:
If the op is a scholar, I could have called his lie intellectual dishonesty.

Isibidi is NOT ANCIENT IGBO ALPHABET

Compare the heading to the body in the text.



You do not take credit away and usurp it fom other people. Stop this nonsense. it the written language of Ekoi

May insecurity not kill you. He was quoting an excerpt from Wikipedia so why the rant? NSIBIDI cuts across different tribes, DEAL WITH IT.

HigherEd:
Bifrost actually graduated from UNN and exudes the character of a true Lion. A lion doesn't go around trying to convince a tiger that it is a Lion. UNN is great, we know it. But you harrassing this thread only reveals your personal insecurities.

Another impostor on the loose.

Just because I said UNN pioneered the tech hub in Nigerian universities, you want to have a heart attack.

Bifrost:
Don't sound idiotic trying to prove a point.


P.S: I graduated from UNN.

Which UNN? Because a UNN graduate won't respond like you just did. Moronic impostor. No matter how you try to cover up, we expose you. Loser claiming UNN

GarriKoro:
Why should anyone be hating on your vast network of cheat miracle centres?

Speaking of miracle centers, I give to you Yoruba people.

Envious leech

AgbariOjukwu1:
You are the dumbest person I have ever argued with on Nairaland....Lol, I'm done with you..

Naturally....you rant and run. Loser.

Bifrost:
Be honest with yourself, would you regard that bungalow (formally PTDF building) now used as Roarhub as world class?

You don't have to make everything a competition. Pls.

Keep ranting. several world class tech companies started that way. Go to ROARHUB and see what it is NOW.

Go and flaunt your insecurities to other universities. UNN is your pacesetter in so many ways. UNN competes only with itself.

AgbariOjukwu1:
Lol, You be mumu Aswear... You won't know something yet you will be arguing..

I have told you that Waec don't release performance rankings per states... Waec denied that of last year too.. We discussed it here on nairaland.. Na wa ooo

You keep disgracing yourself over and over again.....

Waec only denies ranking not prepared by its body.

Trying to sound informed only makes you look more stupid.

How are ngbatis fallen!

AgbariOjukwu1:
Lol, You are just as dumb as your ancestors.

Punch reported something that was denied by Waec and waec even urged the public to disregard it yet your dumbass is still relying on an already debunked News.

Are you guys really that cursed in that your godforsaken and useless hellhole called biafuro .

Mumu, waec rejected that of 2018 posted by some tabloid.

Stop fooling yourself. Your envy is so amazing.

HigherEd:
Don't annoy yourself this morning. I know roar hub which is a startup lab. And CU by the way pioneered tech startup laboratories in universities with the Hebron startup laboratory.

The following first two pictures are CU startup pic, while roarhub picture is the last picture. So I wld advice you to enlighten yourself instead of advising me.


https://techpoint.africa/2017/03/23/covenant-university-hebron-startup-labs/

What this thread talks about is a full fledged technology hub in CU with study on tech and robotics not a two room office you cited in UNN and call a hub.

When you are done spewing your insecurities, you follow the real news....

stop your fake news....UNN started a hub first before ANY Nigerian University.

https://m.guardian.ng/technology/unn-makes-history-with-roar-nigeria-hub/

AgbariOjukwu1:
You are dumb just like your ancestors... Waec don't release performance rankings by states... This is not the first time waec will ask the public to disregard such fake News manufactured by the useless and godforsaken pigs of biafuro.. Oloshi.

Children everywhere.

Google - punchnews best waec states

Keep disgracing yourself. Lazy loser. Illiterate.

HigherEd:
I'm not talking about a startup lab.

Its not a lab. Its a hub of its own. Get the right information.

HigherEd:
The erstwhile director of the Physical Planning department, Arc. Alalade who recently has been succeeded by Arc. Timothy Obanewo unveiled the Covenant University Tech hub in a meeting with the vice chancellor of Covenant university.

The twin technology hub would be an highrise connected by a bridge and is intended to be built directly opposite the College of Science and technology on the stretch of land between Senate building and College of Development studies.

At completion the tech hub will have 2,000 computing systems which are collapsible to maximize space. An Ampitheatre that heightens collaboration between students and faculty and multiple world class laboratories where everything tech, robotics would be aggressively learnt.


Huawei is also currently exploring the feasibility of partnering on building a Smart CU towards the actualisation of the university’s Vision 10:2022.

Solutions Manager, Huawei Obiyemi told the CU team led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor AAA. Atayero, that with the management of personal computer plagued by challenges such as data security vulnerability, High O and M costs and resource inflexibility, desktop virtualization offers a stepping stone to ICT transformation.

“This is the future. Part of the benefits is that the date is secure, you can work anywhere in the world even though your desktop is at CU, there is simplified management and rapid fault recovery,” said Obiyemi.

Huawei FusionCloud Desktop solution architecture, he explained, offers end-to-end solutions which optimizes and consolidates resources to ensure comprehensive performance and user experience. There are rich options of Access Terminals and it supports multiple operation systems, he added.

Obiyemi disclosed that Desktop Cloud’s typical application scenarios include conventional office, secure office, cloud workstations; call Centres, public terminals and branch offices. Huawei, he stated, had installed the virtual desktop infrastructure for organisations like Hong Kong Airlines, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the Bank of China and the African Union with huge success. “We are more than happy to help Covenant University leverage this futuristic technology,” he enthused.

The Vice Chancellor of Covenant University, a Russian trained communication and Satellite engineer also spoke of the need for every new building in the University to be powered by renewable energy.

This isn't new. UNN's roar tech hub has already set the pace.

Philistine:
Another miracle center ratings.... who still cares about all this waec and neco poo? Why can't this states top in real exams like NBA Exams and Ican?

As usual, envy and facesaving is what you are good at. Is it every undergraduate that is interested in ican exams or NBA? Since when did it become the criteria?

Yeye loser

UNN has only one rival - ITSELF.

OAU is a lesser equal to UNN.

Don't run away little squirmy Afonja coward, tired of been bashed by your superior? much ado about nothing. You are as inconsequential as that word gets you loafing/grumpy musty piece of human trash, talking about big penis, you must fancy that so much don't you? like your gay a.s.s doesn't go about begging men for money, while offering yourself to be shafted like the pathetic little bi.atch that you are. Lmaoo you wish I used a techno phone, no point even proving any point to your scruffy gorilla silverback looking dumb ass self, cause my phone can buy up your entire miserly family with change to change your destiny. Next time know what lines you cross when picking your e-battles, you loathsome product of circumstance.

Mehn.....this knockout got me cracking..... Never laughed like this in a long time.... That was classic!
