NoFoolishness:
Igbos argue with Ghanaians (Akan) all the time about who dominated Jamaican culture. It's a shame really because both were influential yet neither represent the majority or the main ingredient (so to speak) of our existence. We are too mixed up with different African groups for anyone to be arguing about something as meaningless as which tribe influenced the diaspora the most.

Especially since in 2021 nobody in the diaspora claims these tribes anymore and havent for over 400 years. ��‍♀️��‍♀️

Covid 19 is of more importance than tribal affiliation in the west. I'm js.

NoFoolishness:
Who told you that lie? The Yoruba were certainly taken to Jamaica they were called the "Nago" people while on the island. Where are yall getting your sources to where yall think we in the diaspora belonged to specific tribes only? Jamaicans dont only have affinity to Igbos or even just west Africans. We central African and south east African as well.

But to get back to the point why would there be a community named after a Yoruba settlement with no Yoruba in Jamaica? That makes no sense. The answer is there were Yoruba taken then mostly from the Republic of Benin. They were captured by rival Fon groups if not sacrificed.

descarado:
This thread is nothing without attacking South East.

That's the reason we still have nairaland.
Remove South East and this place will die a natural death.

SE are parasites?

Pic 1. NBL beer factory in Enugu...

Pic 2 . HisbaI/slamic police destroying bottles of beer.

...and yet Kano and Kaduna takes more from VAT on beer produced in the East than the SE states...and you say SE are parasites?

How are you able to walk along the road?

Dont claim this as SW victory

The only one with enough balls to do this

Onepeople:
In as much as i totally conforms to the idea that state should collect their vat ,just imagine that the eastern are the one's championing this reform, the argument would have been different, especially on nairaland the headquarters of hypocrisy.

Nope

They've been reported countless times before, nothing was done about it or they'd be released prematurely. So people take the law into their own hands - just like mobbing is also common in Nigeria. Like I said, its an issue with a very long history.

I've been hanging with him for 3 years now so I know exactly what he meant.

TMKsouth:
I haven't come across that but I can understand why people would think like that. Remember the article I sent u about the CIA and drugs among African Americans.

Is this the article you're talking about?

Abohboy:
Not all of the words are exact but I definitely agree with this apart from language there are even cultural practices and evidence in our religion the only question that needs to be asked is why didn't their knowledge and infrastructure come here as well? Or were the skilled artisans kept in Egypt and only basic workers and civilians emigrated

PROVERBZ:
I did not see any reason to continue that arguement. You argument was based in conspiracy theories. Ancient Egyptians where not blacks!!! And they were certainly not igbo or Yoruba.

TMKsouth:
Try keeping up.

SA brought in many men from Southern and Central Africa into the country during the apartheid era to come work in the mines. That's how HIV arrived in SA. From there it quickly spread because these men used the services of prostitutes who often hanged around the mining hostels (which were all-male). Months later, the men (both South African and foreign) would then return home to their wives (usually to the rural areas and townships) and then infect them. That's why HIV is more rife in Southern Africa more than the rest of the continent because of the SA mining industry.

Of course today it's still spreading because it already exists in the country, and there have been poor interventions by the government.

TMKsouth:
I'm speaking about how HIV first came to SA and why it spread so quickly. The mines and prostitution around the all male mining hostels helped spread the virus to the rural areas and neighbouring countries where the miners' wives lived. Read up on it.

philip0906:
How can something be unlimited and still have data cap?

TMKsouth:
U should first understand how the mining migrant labour system worked and destroyed family bonds, hence the rapid spread of HIV in SA. Then u can return and give intelligent answers.

TMKsouth:
I'm just dealing with that troll coz he also uses twisted facts and lies. So I'm playing his game . He doesn't even know where Cameroon is but plays expert on SA issues

TMKsouth:
Yeah but if they're as holy as they like to claim then your population size shouldn't matter. Heathen SA should be topping the African porn industry because "everyone is loose and has aids", as they like to portray the country.

TMKsouth:
Dude, Nigeria has the biggest porn industry in Africa so shut up about morality and religion - u guys are just as messed up behind closed doors while praying on Sunday. At least SA doesn't pretend before God's eyes.

TMKsouth:
The same aids brought in by your gorilla-eating brothers from West Africa and then spread through SA mining towns through the migrant labour system? Learn your history first before shouting nywei-chaivy nyweids.

Propaganda seems to be all that fills the news these days

That is how the other day the southwest was claiming having highest IGR.

All.these under bridge stats churned out by Brown envelope media this is why the international community never takes us seriously.

You took all the oil company head offices from my Niger Delta to Lagos . When southwest has no oil ;Do you realize the taxes these oil companies pay to the state since their head office is in Lagos ? Their staff salaries are taxed too... So far the head office is in Lagos if you like work in a rig in Qatar your salary is taxed by Lagos state. Them they now took all embassies of foreign countries to Lagos too ..

Etc I could go on and on. But my joy is slowly the reckoning is coming. Every state collecting their vat is just the beginning. Eventually all the oil companies must return to the Niger Delta. Same with so called fuel depots.

Then we will watch that IGR shrink.

We move Niger Delta will get there

Also note that there would ofcourse be dire need for funding, as means of facilitating any proposed project we wish to embark on.

This would be done from freewill donations with open declaration of funds at hand, to all and sundry.

Also status report of projects will be shared to members across board (email is also a consideration now) and maybe on a website to be opened.
