Shymm3x/Superstar1 I don't know If you guys are familiar with the !dd!otic romani who calls himself pazi.enza,pizza or whatever the mo.fo who sired him named him

The stan keeps spamming the whole place with how he comes here to laugh and blahblah and how the thread is bullch!t

Even if it is, maan give it a rest you know he has mentioned it in like 6 different places

That's how sad!sts console themselves

Igbin cannot help it. 300 pages! We're cruising

Iyalaya awon haters Je ko mo

that dude is a worldclass id1ot.

LOL, in what world is Equatorial Guinea obscured compared to Benin Republic? No offence to Beninians (?).

Beninoise have richer and well documented history than the the Equinox or Equitorian Guineans. The Dahomey Kingdom comes to mind and it resonates all over the world.

What is EG known for?

ezeagu:
Igbo is an actual recognised language of Equatorial Guinea, an economy whose per capita income is almost four times of Nigeria. Even though there's massive inequality, their HDI is several ranks above Nigeria.

Sorry, it has nothing to do with culture or history, but money influence and most especially power.

Your language is recognised in only one obscured country and you expect us to be rolling on the floor.

You need to read up on the spread of yoruba language from Ile Ife, to SW Nigeria, to Benin Republic, Togo, SOuth America, and now Scandinavians where it is being taught in schools..

Shymm3x:
I get what you mean and every MSM (mainstream media) is a tool for propaganda either directly or indirectly.

However, in this case, you have to check the objective vis-a-vis the end goal and target audience, for expanding the BBC brand. In as much as much as it will still be a tool for propaganda - I think why they picked Yoruba and pidgin is basically cos the two languages are the most widely spoken languages in Nigeria and its environs.

I don't think they are maliciously targeting Yorubas for propaganda. It is just bigger market for the BBC brand and it will also facilitate more recognition for the Yoruba language and enable Yoruba speakers get the news in real time. Regardless, it is nothing to celebrate.

I quite agree with you.

Can those western nations do anything without an objective or hidden agenda behind it? Extremely rare.

Aareonakakanfo:
Hahaha! I haven't stayed long enough in the north so I can't say much

But do you have any idea of the kind of information being dished out on the station?

We need to start from there first If truly that's the station they mostly listen to

There must be a reason why they're glued to it

And also don't you think Illiteracy is also a factor?

Illiteracy might be a factor for the northerners, but it is an effective tool for the British.

Listen to BBC Africa service and you will have an idea of the subtle mental neo-colonisation. Africa is always being depicted as a continent of war, misery and poverty. They create the picture and it stays on your mind. If you are not careful, it limits your mind. They can't be saying anything better on BBC Hausa

ezeagu:
It has nothing to do with history or heritage. The BBC is a form of British soft power which they use to spread their influence in whatever way they can, they literally said it in the article.

"The World Service is one of the UK's most important cultural exports and one of our best sources of global influence. We can now further build on that."

The BBC or the British do not care about your culture or heritage. Lol.

Coming from a person without any history, culture or heriatge to share with the world.

Abeg park well jare and let better person pass.

laudate:
Nah....I actually think it is the Igalas that have the numerical advantage in Kogi State, and a number of them feel that since their ethnic group is in the majority, they should always call the shots.

Yes, it is the Igalas. Was a typo. Modath corrected me earlier on.

Obiagu1:
No it's not.

BBC programs are done in Official Languages as well as second languages where there are mass illiteracy and inability to understand Official languages like Hausa and Yoruba.

NAaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

They broadcast in language of influence that offers rich history, culture and heritage. That is why you have BBC Swahili, hausa, Yoruba and pidgin.

This is not a station for hate preaching, war mongering and violence instigation.

We can all remember your SOS call to Multichoice, before they pitied you and dashed you a station.

Aareonakakanfo:
But those are the ones who live in Lagos.I don't think its that way up North.They probably listen to their own stations

Its the most easily available station they can connect with in Lagos

You can't even listen to a station based in Kanu when you're in Lagos

I don't know why. probably superior technology

And most of the programs on the channel are more of entertainment programs anyways

Whattttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!! Have you been to the north. Even the almajiris, the mai tea guys, and almost every tom and jerry know the frequency of BBC Hausa.

They hardly listen to their stations. Ask anybody that lives or that has been to the north.

Aareonakakanfo:
Hmmmn Oro! but at the same time,it will still boil down to who and who is in charge of the information being dished out on the Channel

I believe educated Odua sons are the ones who're going to be the ones running things there

I don't know the kind of information being disseminated on BBC hausa so I can't say If this one will end up that way as well

But going by what's on ground,BBC Hausa hasn't had any effect on the mind of the average hausa person who listens to it

Do you woonder why they are always carrying transistor radio about? They all know the frequency of BBC Hausa and it is their first station of choice.

Obiagu1:
This shows that in Yoruba land, education standard is degenerating to Hausa level with mass illiteracy now equaling what's obtainable in the North.

A local language program is needed by a foreign organisation to keep millions of of ever increasing illiterates in Yorubaland informed on global matters.

Joker.

It shows the yoruba culture and language is of international standard.

jump inside the lagoon if you are pained.

Musiwa419:
how has bbc hausa service, using your own word, 'further programmed the mind' of the hausa folks up north 'in a form of neo colonisation' ?

BBC is a well known propaganda tool.

Aareonakakanfo:
Egbon mi can you please elucidate more on the emboldened?

Ko ye mi dada

I fully agree with the second part

Warfare are waged on 2 fronts -- 1. Military (on the field) 2. Media

The Media warfare is subtle, effective and more long lasting. That is why they always depict Africa with the worst pix of humanity.

The BBC is the propaganda tool of the British Government, with a sole responsibility of brain washing the world from the perspective of the British Govt. BBC Yoruba will not be left out.

After this, what's next?

Aareonakakanfo:
https://cdn.smosh.com/sites/default/files/bloguploads/haters-gonna-hate-peacock.gif

It is really not a great news because it will end up being a tool for mind conditioning and further programming of the minds of the blacks, in a form of pseudo-colonialisation.


The pros are that it will keep propagating the language, promoting our rich culture and heritage our forefathers handed down to us. It will alos give us an international pedestal to tell our story in our own way.

Idrismusty97:
We are talking about languages here. Many of you speaks Hausa and Yoruba better than your language anyway. Right now the pidgin English is much important than your inconsequential language.

Just wait and watch the way they will dance to Bush House like cannibals, with cries of marginalisation like bush babies.

That was how they danced to Multichoice.

Omo yoruba ni mi oooo........................ Swagger.

fastjett:
Idiot akaluka as you mention is not IGBO rather from Benue state, you problem is lack of History in school. Fool, EWU CONGO

How daft can you be?

Gideon Akaluka an Igbo trader was beheaded by the supposed group led by Sanusi in Kano when they attacked the jail he was being kept. He was dragged out in broad daylight and beheaded, with his head paraded all over Kano.

Keep denying the obvious, flat.head bantu.

Katsumoto:
Is it necessary for a Yoruba son to be governor in a state where Yorubas are a minority? Otherwise they risk being accused of what they accuse others of doing. If Faleke is wanted by a majority, then all well and good but sneaking in through a technicality will create problems for him and the Yoruba.

I really don't get why Nigerian people always want someone from their ethnic group to be governor/president.

They are not migrants in Kogi State.

They are indigenes of the state. By right, they have every right to aspire to the highest post of that land.

It is left for other ethnicities to vote for them or for even the yorubas to contest.

This case is very different from the scenario you are trying to create.

SonOfEl:
Envy personified.....don't die just yet okay? Monkey.

Son of Perdition, what is in you to be envious of.

Is it your criminal tendencies or your lack of culture and history?

Orango tang.

IlekeHD:
Nah, I read a lot about them and I watch the alien shows They're beautiful creatures I'd love to meet, if they really exist.

I don't understand why everybody's mermaid is beautiful, but the Naija own is ugly and wicked.

If you are very fair in complexion, tall, pretty with long hair, you are an "omo omi" here o.

Your mum will first scream when you bring such home as your fiancee. The next thing you will hear is "ibo lo ti ri omo omi".

Lol.

basilo101:
Lol, check waec and jamb data and see what is real achievemnt. not producing ido.ots to be used for election

Yeah, no thanks to the millions of miracle centres that dots the land of red mud.

Like baby factories, like examination miracle centres.

patrick89:
this place na village na!

So, Aba is a village!!!!!!

I know it is a cesspit, I never knew it is also a village.

.

IlekeHD:
Yes, those are great speculations that we never study. We've gone to mars, moon etc.

But we don't know what's down there. We can't begin to fathom it.

I'd love to meet an alien/mermaid tho

I hope you won't freeze in your track.

IlekeHD:
lmaoooo.

It's funny how we've study the sky/the galaxy, yet we don't know much about the deep blue sea. Something is down there.

Things like the Bermuda Triangle, lost city of Atlantis, yemoja and orisirishi omo omis.
Lol.

modath:
2 things...

1. You're welcome..

2.Then there would be no contestant...

99% of senior citizens are walking around with myriads of metabolic syndromes, factor in a carb heavy & no exercise lifestyle , you have a walking time bomb....


That certificate of fitness is discriminatory, death comes in many ways...

You are absolutely right.

IlekeHD:
You mentioned that you're not pro APC and it seems that you're paying close attention to the Kogi circus.

Who do you support in this case scenario and why is it important for Audu to beat Wada?

I am not supporting any. It is or was an election between the Devil and the deep blue sea.

tonychristopher:
14 million senseless followers ....14 million morons that can't think out of the box


1 million sensible and logical followers are better than the 14 million phantom followers

Where are the 1milion useless logical followers that have never achieved anything in this country, apart from noise making and whining like bush babies?

The nonsensical 1million that cannot even return a sitting president back to Aso Rock, despite the fact that they were the useless pillar of his government.

I am laughing in jukun.

kaycid77:
This MUMU is calling his fellow YORUBA E-DOGs...... If Nnamdi Kanu was a yoruba man he would have been like a "chicken" just like Abiola and Awo, the highest respected yoruba Men killed like a chicken by Hausas.... they cant even try any rubbish on NNAMDI KANU-the hero of our time.... so Yoruba wailer continue wailing for us we like it

I never knew Abiola's life was equal to the lives of 3million y1bos that were suyanised for fun.

That is outside others that have been sacrificed for fun afterwards. The likes of Akaluka and the nameless ones.

IlekeHD:
Ahh okay.

Let me guess, WADA is PDP.

Yeah Wada is PDP.

ProfessorPeter:
Nnamdi you called a terrorist has more Followers around the world than Buhari.

It was confirmed by INEC that GMB has 14million followers.

No one has confirmed that of the Lunatic Albino. Let him contest in a gubernatorial election and let us see the vote he will garner.

Even OBJ had more votes than Ojukwu in SE, how much more the Ayatollah of alaigbo.
