Can't this accidental Senator just shut up.

how about you shut up and let someone who is ready to speak up against the system do!

a glance through the comments could faze a freedom fighter, But I believe Ben Bruce will march on and won't pay attention to likes of these low lifers for the majority of Nigerians who needs someone to be at the forefront doing their bidding. This man knows the job of a senator and will definitely make a fine one.

calebo101:

The man that won more souls for Buhari than he won for Christ . How pastors become core politicians in Nigeria is baffling and a disgrace to the church.

Galatians 6:7.. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

abeg go and sit down, God cannot be mocked, he is not a politician either running for an office with an expiring time span.

Deltagiant:
Half caste is equally appropriate though not popularly used...you can consult your dictionary

I do know what it means but it isn't appropriate. read on how the word was used back in days.

wtf is half caste? she is Biracial or mixed

this man is on another level compared with rest.

ocheejemb:
Great, so you know about confidence intervals and p values for instance. These wouldn't be necessary if science was so exact.

and you do know that, 206 bones are exact numbers of bones in the body, or that acceleration due to gravity on earth is 9.8 at free fall, or that the atomic numbers of each element on the periodic table are exact numbers eh?

ocheejemb:
Read up on scientific method and statistical significance.

I don't have to, I know what I am talking about, good thing u mentioned Statistics.

so where is the Bentley tho? all I see is a Mercedes, a Ferrari and an old Porsche.

Fireflame144000:
I actually agree with the other guy, Science may get most of the things right, but sometimes there wrong. Scientist don't even claim that science is always right, all they will tell you is that Science changes every day with every new discovery they find that sometimes debunks one of there theories, or supports one of there theories. If science is always right then why does it keep changing?

you're talking about something else entirely, he said "science is not exact" but based on scientific principles and laws and constants that statement is not true. He is right about one thing though, sometimes estimates is given as result based on the type of science we are dealing with.

Bruce is a sane man, his PHD is common sense is like no other in the Nigerian government

ocheejemb:
Oh really.

yes really.

she most likely had an infection from the bite

ocheejemb:
Science is never exact, basically very good estimates within set confidence intervals. All your other ancestries could easily be noise to yout 60% Nigerian signal. Or it could be that some of your ancestors might have migrated from one of these places. With no records, you might never know.

your statement about science not being exact is false!

no Human on the planet has 100% of any ethnicity.....learnt this genetics.

yay!! she gets to keep the award, but whom among you Igbos has had his/her life changed because of this minute event.

jcmaiah:
There is no wrong living like a king when u r one. The guy is just poor and its affecting him badly. No be so he tell him men to respect traffic! you will call that one leadership by example too?

dude go and read about the french revolution!

EgusiSoup:
.I am first to comments in this topic.

This is why Igbo woman are more attractive than Yoruba woman. Even dangote want to shine the Congo.


**continued swallow EgusiSoup**

really this is why.......... lmaooo so pathetic.
work on your English bruh.

erunz:
SOME STUP**D APC CLOWN WILL JUST BE SCREAMING JAIL AS IF THEY ARE D COURT O JUDGE.

you're an 1diot, are you saying you like the way sh*t is being run in this Country. think before posting your rubbish.

zicoraads:
Jobless APC apologists.
Jobless dults...the whole lot of them!
Your mates are working and thinking of bettering their lives, and even being recognised for their achievements, some jobless noisemakers and useless Iguanas are babbling for Yale to withdraw what?

Keep making noise on nairaland why she keeps getting international recognition. I don't know if some of these illiterates think the awards from Yale is the same as that which is given to individuals by Nigerian Universities. Senselessness!

shut the fvck up! comparing your comment with the petition, anyone can tell the writer is more grammatically sound than you, seating behind your computer talking about illiteracy.
Stupid people nowadays! do us a favor and don't breed.

my observations so far on this post

quote from original post:
[size=14pt]

it suddenly became the Hausas Versus the Yorubas with the Hausas drawing Knives and Cutlasses while the Yorubas were seen carrying bottles and sticks.

[/size]

I present comments from Igbos to you. The Irony. If you are Yoruba don't take the bait.
It amazing how they've managed to involve themselves why actually wanting the opposite.

Their collabo is bearing fruits. cheesy Somebody will still find a way to drag igbos into it angry

Someone will soon blame the SE

the person dare not.. All these clowns are feeding too much on my silence. I won't be that magnanimous this time.

This is how the Oba of Lagos will be talking about Igbos yet no Igbo has laid a physical hand on any member of any tribe. Let them blame jor

This why they are opposed to Biafra and ND Republic
They know once we leave they can't and will be left with Adamu alone
I can't wait for Sanusi to wake up one day and appoint one of his nephews as the emir of all oduastan

are they not slaves??
Their hausa masters are entitled to kill them any time, anyday!!

same old America is out to get us rant, always looking for someone to shift the blame on. Boko haram you say, aren't they Nigerians? if it is true the USA is behind it, why have those idiots allowed themselves to be used as tools to destabilize the lives of fellow Nigerians.

keep shifting blame for days.

I'm bout to go on that niqqa FB, and troll the shlt out of him. the assessment that a large number of Nigerians suffer from mental illnesses is true
and the evidence is all around us.

Ikengawo:
there's nothing wrong with bride price. It's a gift to a village for 'taking' their daughter and making her a part of yours. After during and before that a woman is free to be whoever she wants to be. Even the great Wole Soyinka has gone into sexist tirades and he represents the highest of educational achievement in the SW ('im not even looking at the north were the greatest progressive will have 5 wives all 15 years old). He was not above declaring the first lady was a 'shepototomus', which is funny because he has never insulted the looks of any of his male 'enemies'.

It is history, that women occupied the king's council in the Yoruba tradition. In Hausa land there was Amina that led an army, things have changed due to the sympathy towards sharia laws in the north. For Igbos I can't say the same.

while I don't like PDP, why would they want to merge? If it does happen, mostly likely not, it'll only revert us back to what we've had for the past 16 years....PDP with all the criminals calling the shots!.

Icon4s:
So so very true. Even in my company, the most senior woman is Igbo.

Some possible reasons:
1. Democracy. Yes, during d military era women were hardly considered for public office positions. They did nt even have d mind. Remember OBJ brought in d likes of Ezekwesili, Akunyili, Okonjo-Iweala.

2.Igbo women are well read: While in some parts of d country they see education as more important for men, in some parts of Igbo land they see education for the girls and learning trading for the boys

3. The Igbo spirit: Igbos are naturally reselient and hard working, including the woman. Have also asked why the Igbos dominate our national female football teams?

4. Igbo men dont feel intimidated by the qualifications and degrees of their wives: An Igbo man who is a tråder can support his more educated wife to any level she so desires without feeling intimidated. Most of those prominent Igbo women who knows their husbands?

5Most other tribes suppress their wives. This point is d opposite of my 4th point. A typical Yoruba or Hausa man would always want to remain above their wives hence would nt want their wives to achieve what they have nt achieved. All those Funmilayo Kuti and Kudirat Abiola memtioned are who they are bc of their husbands.

6. Lastly Igbo ladies are classy. They usually have high tastes and ambitions.

And you know this how? the famous bride price tradition practiced by the Igbos I would argue is the complete opposite of what you have written up here. We know you love your tribe, and it is a good thing to be proud of your culture but it's downright petty to make shitt up about about other's culture.

Nigerian architecture is really bad, the houses be looking like a vampire sanctuary. let some natural light into the house. Nigerian architectures need to up their game.

Africans throwing other Africans under the bus since the time of slavery.

winniz:
If Kwara state does not belong to Hausa/fulani why don't you have an Oba? Why is Kwara state not in SW? Kwara state was Conquered by Fulanis hence why an Emir was installed as the traditional ruler of the state so hausa/fulani owns Kwara state.

why isn't the north considered south and east, west.

winniz:
See ranting of a loser, is Kwara state not in North Central and headed by an Emir? So how is it Yorubaland? Quit whining the so called man is representing NC not SW, Kwara state belongs to hausa/Fulani not Yorubas so just deal with it.

I think someone is having problems with the English language.

let's have a little teaching session shall we?

north, south, east and west are geographical points. you probably know this but just acting spiteful on purpose. these terms have never been used or will ever be used as political boundaries. Before the creation of Nigeria, there were cultural boundaries. the Yoruba's Territory or Yorubaland extends from present day SW and NC Nigeria to parts of Benin and Togo. If you are Igbo, then you might not be able to comprehend this because the culture by land is only limited to political boundaries of Nigeria.
I was born and raised in Ilorin for much of life, a wise man once said "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

if you feel dumped and used, that's ur business, cuz I don't.
