xharder: olu jacobs is not a yoruba man, he is edo man and does not identify himself as yoruba same as omotola ekinde. Most top actors with yoruba names are usually not pure yorubas if atall they are. they are mostly mid western yorubas (edo).

Where your shop dey for Alaba. I pity all your customers. You can sell ice to an Eskimo. Satan self respects you when it comes to lies.

It hurts one tribe that Desmond Elliot is is not from their side while the other tribe is angry he identified himself with an industry dominated by the former.

We are blessed with tribalistic Southerners. I am also from the South who has found a solution to all these rubbish. I no longer give a damn.

MissMeiya: For those of you asking why she didn't shout, or why no one saw them. Let me educate you. America is not Nigeria.

1. If something bad happens, people DO NOT jump in. People have been killed in broad daylight, and their killer walked away. There is a culture of self-preservation, partly due to the individualistic nature of America, and partly because of general public confidence that the police will do their jobs. If you don't believe me, Google the TV news series "What Would You Do?" The series sets up certain dangerous or shocking scenarios to see if bystanders will intervene. They rarely do. People do not interfere in ongoing crimes. Sadly, they rarely even call the police.

2. Remember that America is not as crowded as Nigeria. ESPECIALLY in the suburbs, where everyone drives. You can literally look down the street for miles and see maybe 5-7 people on the street. Never within hearing or running distance from each other.

I was unfortunate enough to experience the reality of both of these things earlier this year. I screamed for almost an hour before someone finally stopped their car and called the police for me. Luckily I managed to prevent myself from being dragged inside the house. No one came outside their house to help me. And several cars drove past me struggling with my attacker before one finally stopped and came outside to help me.

So if this story doesn't make sense to you, realize that situations like this happen often in America.

Please help me enlighten them. They always view US from the Nigerian Perspective. People mind their business here.

Babymama1: Why should I like a rapeest?
I suspect he is one of those kids nigerian men had in the quest for green card hence the last name

Unfortunately, I do not consider Pennsylvania's penalty for rape weighty enough. With a few thousand dollars the guy will be released. That is if he does not and serve his terms at the same time. See the penalty below

Babymama1: I hope they lock him up in chains and throw the keys away

Babymama. You don't seem to like the guy at all

Dreambeat: I don't get you?Was it the exclusive right of Nigerians to work at African stores? ,that a Ghananian attended to you meant that Nigerians were no more employed at African stores?

Sorry I did not complete that. It is the way the people react at the mention that you are a Nigerian. Other customers quickly get what they want and leave. May be it is because of Ebola. I really don't know or our attitude in diaspora.

hijayoma: In as much as I am not going to defend the accused,I will not totally support the story so far.
The neigbhours say he is calm amnd quiet"
She claimed to have screamed and shouited yet noone heard this noise??
She was dragged from the gas station,noone saw or noticed that?

I may be wrong,but wat if it realy isn't wat it is?maybe a set-up or an overreaction.

Gas stations. Have cctv don't they??

I would love to hear the accused's side of the story before I conclude..

My brother cctv is not everywhere as you think, that is why Police, CIA and FBI still do a lot of investigations. Then most Americans and non citizens who commit crimes look cool. They don't look rough like the area boys we have in Nigeria. They are well fed because food is cheap in America. No matter how poor you are you will get something nice to eat. That is why they deduct Social Security from our salaries. In all many still abuse this privilege.

I visited Brooklyne few days ago to get some stuff from African store. I was attended to by a Ghanaian. Those of you in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania may know what I'm talking about. In fact other Africans are beginning to run from Nigerians with this our attitude. Our numerous churches and mosques are not helping. Parents need to start helping their children at home. Women should stop bringing home bastards for another man to raise and men should be men and stop behaving like boys because of that restless thing between their legs

Asoozy: Modify what exactly?

You know what? I can't drag your title with you. You are the legitimate heir to the throne of simpleton.

May your reign be long.

Lesson for you. Think before you post. See as everybody dey attack you. Swallow your pride. You are wrong. Do you need a toddler to come and tell you.

As for me I have lost hope in helping you. May people not lose hope on us.

Asoozy: The dumb carnival must be in full swing. Did you fall off your wagon?

There is no point deviating. Unfortunately you can not modify your previous posts because I have copied you. Go and see if you can bribe Nairaland moderators. Oh! I forgot you might not find a bigot like you among Nairaland moderators. May be you should just resort to my initial advice of hugging a transformer or travel fast to Liberia. You know what I mean.

Asoozy: But you accuse me of 'tribalism'?

The bulb in your head has burnt out. Replace it sharpish!

So you finally agree you are a tribalist. Now that you have agreed, you are forgiven. Go and sin no more.

oboman: The problem people have with Desmond Elliot's political ambition is Lagos State is because he hasn't been true to his identity.....

I never knew he is a Yoruba man until I clicked on this post, which doesn't bode well with Nigerian politics, where identity matters more....


People who are accusing Desmond Elliot are accusing him based on his sudden change of name when he sees fit.... Why hasn't he embraced the ''SOLA'' name in Nollywood? Is it because he is scared most Igbo producers in Nollywood won't pick him for roles?

Is he just a trickster that appears Igbo when he goes into Nollywood and appears Yoruba when he intends to go into Lagos politics? This is why people don't trust him and not because of his mixed heritage...

He feels he won't get a role because he's a Yoruba man which is usually the case in Nollywood

Asoozy or na Asoogoat

Accept it you messed up. Everybody saw what you were driving at. She got you and corrected you to trim that your ego and bring down your bigotry. You must be shedding tears now.

Asoozy: You make valid points. However you seem to have disregarded the fact that none of the aforementioned is seeking political relevance by virtue of their origin. Becoming a house of assembly rep necessitate you to exhibit your indeginous affiliation. Elliot though qualifies by his half Yorubaness has not convinced me that he is Yoruba at heart or in deed. He is more ibo to me and if the few responses on this thread are anything to go by, many didn't even know he was Yoruba to start with. Hence, he may just have lost legitimacy in the eyes if the voters that truly matter. I'm talking about the omo Ekos here.

See as hatred is brewing in your mind that he is Yoruba. You will be shocked to see many Yoruba actors here in US movies everyday. By that time you will go and hang yourself. Who told you guys many don't even know he is Yoruba. Be living in fools' paradise. I'm sure you think Ramsey Noah too is Igbo. Bunch of tribalistic beasts

EkoIle1: Ignorance, tribalism and bigotry is very pervasive on this site especially by people with nothing productive to show from their own states even though their governors collects taxes and allocations too...

Eastern governors have been looting since their ancestors started growing Igbos. They breed looters nothing more.

seyigiggle: .. however kwakwaso is a tribalistic Governor

Jakpon: How is Kwankwaso a tribalistic Governor? Some of you dimwits just open your stinky gob to spew trash. Kwankwaso has non-indigenes in his cabinet can the same be said of your own Governor?

That should tell you the guy does not know the meaning of tribalism. He just sees others use it on nairaland and he felt like feeling 'among'. If he truly knows the meaning he will know his region leads in tribalism than any other region in Nigeria.

Collynzo16: Do you know what even one oil well is worth?
Do you know how many there are in the South east?
Ignorant fool

Or you mean palm oil.

Obasanjo and his son are not like some Cowards in the military who took off in the middle of the heat and ran to Ivory coast while his people were slaughtered like turkey.

Wish him well as he recovers. For those wishing him dead, bad news for you he's alive

Babymama1: Sore losers
Una no fit see expo
Even for the unity school scores the SE and SS students get expo

The land that produces oluwole certificates and visas no dey do expo
I hear you

Kano and kaduna states saw the expo that Osun and Oyo didn't see explaining why Kano and kaduna did better than oyo and Osun

Baby mama you are a lady now at least if your men are more economical with the truth I do not expect that from you. You people are too smart to be caught now. I've you forgotten how you parkage those fake items at Alaba and oshodi. I suffered a little in your people's hand when I was in secondary school to the point that I stopped attending any church owned by an Igbo man. The deception portrayed by you people is second to none. You have not stopped there you are still giving us bad names here in the US. You need to watch the program called American greed and see the worst fraudster to ever come out of naija. I will update you with his name in my next post with sites to back up my claims.

Try and talk to your people. They need to change.

Nwanne, there is no doubt in my mind that you are an eddiot.

There are more Igbos in Oshun and Ogun state than those living in the whole of Alaigbo. Without Yolabar land, we Igbos cannot exist.

I am an example, I have shops in Alaba and Awka. The one in Lagos makes 100 times more than the Awka shops, I only keep the Awka shop open for emotional reasons.

Every state in Nigeria is a no mans land under the constitution. Anambra is a FG enclave, which is why Fulanis at the drop of a hat can decide to graze their cattle whenever and wherever they want. If Anambra is not a FG enclave, why dont you declare a Biafra state tomorrow ?

Oshun is a better place to live and do business than any Igbo state, that is for sure.

Anambra adigo mma cheesy cool cool cool

oneeast: ^^^^^You don't always make sense..

What do you use to smoke at times? Now I have listed areas of development indices above for you to rank Oshun your state but you have dodged it. Oshun is a rural rag-tag state with over 98% of its homes built with rust and mud.

You cannot find a single Igbo man in yolobarland because Igbos do not live in mud house since entire yolobarland was built 100% with mud and rust..

Go and tell your governor to pull down entire oshun state to pave way for decent development as can be seen in the East..

I am done with this back and forth. This is weekend..bye

He's not dazed and consumed by bigotry like you. He simply told you the truth and you are barking like a rabid dog. Why not accept the truth for your life to be better for once. Why not allow truth to set your burdened heart free. The way your BP is running over this matter can make others around you mistake you for another ebola patient. Take it easy.

Collynzo16: That oily soup?
Ofe mmanu!

modelmike7: . . . . . Ewedu, oily? See what ignorance can cause!

That guy has been swimming in the sea of ignorance snice 2014 bc.

Babymama1: Ratings from Nigeria is absolutely rubbish
Means nothing.

Raw results from JAMB and WAEC plus unity school admission scores and every measurable and verifiable parameter of education already declared the smart ones and they are from the SS and SE

Same Jamb and WAEC with lots of expos flying around. Then those regions are truly smarter than others.

I'm glad I graduated from a Federal University of Technology where all we know is Engineering. I am here in USA on a special knowledge class of visa with another junior from same FUTA and one Unilorin graduate supporting ExxonMobil projects and some nuclear power plants but that does not make my school the best in Nigeria. The best school should have a crop of the best brains, best facilities and endless number off accomplished alumni. The teaching hospital should be second to non.

Considering the criteria I listed above, I will give it to no other University than University of Ibadan. This is the only university of medicine in Nigeria that can compete with those in some European countries not America.

How many of you remember Bose. The girl that had a 6" nail bypassing some of her vital brain parts. It was only UCH Ibadan that stood to correct this in the whole of Nigeria even United states gave her a 50:50 chance. Where were all these universities you are shouting their names. Has it also occurred to you that if LUTH or any other teaching hospital can not handle a patient the last resort before the patient is flown out is UCH. Go do your findings well.

I am also shocked to find some delta state schools on that list. I still feel only UI deserve to be on that list. Other schools should for now consider their school of Medicine a vet school.

kabba7: GEJ till 2019 after which an Igbo man takes over..


By 2019 JONATHAN will likely be in the prison serving a seven year jail term so said the prophet of God so no problem !

You are living in fools' paradise. So you think Jonathan will hand over to igbos. He will surprise you again. How many of his promises to igbos has he fulfilled. The seaport of an airport or which one. He will rather put A sari Dokubo than a red cap man

Riddles

There are these two clubs from London who detest each other so much that their coach share in the frenzy of this hatred too.

There are these two clubs in reds that their rivalry knows no bound. Be it friendlies or competitions they are always holding each other by the heels.

There is this club that sacked its manager for conceding 9- 0 to a famous club in England in two meetings last season. Spent a fortune last season to recruit players and still conceded 3-0 to the same team to make it 12-0 in three meetings.

There is a club with once a great coach in England with lots of league titles that recently decided to make itself the laughing stock today. This club sacked a coach to recruit a coach that will improve on what the previous coach had done.

thoollz: bro wat of arsenal?

My apologies to mukina and all Arsenal fans. I'm not too sure of Arsenal. I have been missing their games but they can't be more than 5 out of 10 but for now I give it to Chelsea. The fact is premiership has come off age. It is too early to be jubilant over one or two victories. Arsenal is a fantastic club and if they can be focused and not lose courage they will be a title contender. They've got a die hard attitude but they sometimes let their fans down to smaller teams when it matters most, just like Liverpool did at the end of last season but like I once said it promises to be a season of great twist and thrills.

I still feel Liverpool should have done better. Glad we won but I always measure our performance with our arch rivals chelsea and Mancity because Man U is out for now. We still need a lot of improvement at the attack. The attack needs to convert more chances at least 6 out of 10 because I think Chelsea is currently on 7 out of 10 and Mancity 6 out of 10. We create more chances than these 2 teams but we still average 4 out of 10.

I'm proud of my club today but Mario really needs to buckle up. Is Lallana still on injury. With Lallana fit we should be ready for the other big teams. YNWA

The last time Liverpool played Real madrid with all the stars 2010 it was 5-0 on aggregate before Liverpool lost to chelsea in a fierce battle. Liverpool surprised the whole world that year so Madrid should not celebrate. Liverpool puts on a different spirit during Champions league

F117A: Jimi agbaje better travel out and wait for 2015 before they kill him.
No sane lagosian would vote against him.

That is there is no better option. What is he looking for in PDP if he's clean. PDP and APC, two parties with the same grand parents.

Sijo01: which of the channel should I click on?
