JulianBond007: meaning? I am from anambra state and I have lived in onitsha for close to 20 years. What's your problem?

Nne I was simply joking...no ves

Abagworo: I agree with you 100% but the use of the phrase "by far" is too extreme. It is better you simply use "the most populous". Anambra is the 2nd smallest State in landmass and that makes its population density higher than all States except Lagos which is the smallest. Imo is the 3rd smallest and is also the 3rd most densely populated.

The total population of Anambrians by my estimate should be around 16million while Imo is around 13million worldwide. In terms of residence Anambra might be around 5million to 5.5million people while Imo is between 4.5million to 4.8million people.

The first time abaworo is making sense since joining Nairaland!

Sard: I saw this on the news. link to read about it online :http://www.ceoafrica.com/viewnews.php?tabnews=3272

Heheheeee, Southwest desperate politicians has made the yoruba race a laughing stock in the eyes of the word.

To be sincere, if I'm a yoruba with the amount of ridicule& embarrassment they politicians have brought them, I will denounce my yorubaness

Ayekotoo: so why spreading lies that he bought 600 of them? no wonder media companies hardly employ your kinsmen due to the aforementioned

Don't even try to engage me in this ur back-and-forth argument or else I will tear u to shred

Ayekotoo: How are they lazy and unproductive? that they own 70% of the media houses, 80% of stockbroking firms, 60% of insurance companies, 60% of restaurants, 60% of aviation coys, 60% of higher institutes etc? you must be an ignorant

Are u an aboki?

ilugunboy: Irrelevant...

Learn to put on your thinking cap next time before jumping into a conversation....

Relevant, the ports u cited, the business activities going on there is because of southeners,if u put this into consideration, u won't be bragging over revenue generated in this ports.....

Who needs to put his thinking cap now?

Ayekotoo: liar! Have never seen Fashola in any bulletproof car other than the same UNTINTED range rover jeep he uses. you can prove us wrong

U are dumber than lacasa, thesame jeep u are looking at is bullet-proof

This is kettle calling pot black, coming from a man who ordered 600m armoured suve& 300 exotic cars for a common Eko sports festival.......hypocrite

ilugunboy: Stop talking ignorantly....you've never heard of NON-OIL revenue?

Customs generates almost 80% of its revenue from Apapa & Tin can ports...while making substantial revenue also from the MMIA as well.

Cure yourself of ignorance disease.

Who are the importers of those goods in those port u mentioned, the civil servants abi?

Pukkah: Is the benchmark of $1 or $1.25 per day the issue or the fact that millions of Nigerians are swimming in poverty?


According to the Statistician General of Nigeria, 93.9% of Nigerians considered themselves to be poor.

According to the same man, poverty rate stood at 69% in 2010. According to this report, about 112million Nigerians lived below poverty level.


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/02/93-9-nigerians-considered-themselves-to-be-poor-nbs/


Clearly, owning a mobile phone or buying a bottle of beer is not the yardstick for measuring poverty.

Considered is different from actually been poor.,Me I considerd myself poor, but I don't live on one 1$ a day!!

I subscribe to the op's opinion, one dollar can't afford average plate of food.
For instance, 1$=170, Average plate of food is 200 to 250 so where did they get this 1% dollar myth.
For once, I had never believed that 1$ bullshit

jbaur24:
You know yorobars loves Ngige more than us, and they so much believed in him that he can deliver haven been 'tested and trusted'. We therefore offered the same Ngige for them to make him there presidential candidate.

And that would be good, atleast we will have less thus to fight in Anambra!

mike404: IT'S ACTUALLY A MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD PARTY

Heheheeee

egift: Keep up the hatred coming. Will you have a problem with a Christian-Christian ticket? When it is time to get competent hands to lead Nigeria to greatness and kick out the Ogogoro, APC will do the needful

Actually, Christian Christian ticket should be encouraged. I & u knew that there are no Christian fanatics or extremist in Nigeria that would want to Christianise Nigeria

Nwa nnaa jbeur, it's like u are restrategizing for APC now?

egift: Sounds good BUT cannot win the Presidency.

I will go for Buhari/Fashola any day. Buhari majority of the North if they can get the Northern elites to back it. While the SW will back Fashola. With a little from MB, SS and SE - it is a landslide.

The SE can be given the Senate and SS a top slot too. It is possible to pull this off.

Muslim, Muslim... God forbid

The people pointing to census figures as beeng inaccurate in imo state, but believe it is correct when Anambra is concern, are simply bunch of hypocrites....

Anambra is far populous than imo, both in diaspora & a @ home

JulianBond007: I totally agree with you Odum! There are more of Anambra people migrating outside their state than any other southeastern state which makes them lesser in population. The highest population is between Enugu and Imo.

U be confirmed villager

BADNEAT: they came with brooms to protest peacefully. ..they were dispersed with guns....I don't see nigeria surviving 2015...Jonathan shouldn't run....lamido vs buhari for peace to return to nigeria...my innocent opinion. ...my fellow ndigbo. ..we've been deceived. ..we sold our birth right...wat key offices are we occupying today in this country? ? deputy speaker and deputy senate president. ...its a shame. ...we are now in d minority..truth be said. ..d people of core niger delta hv displaced us...we allowed them to anyways. ....

Them swear for u?

Good move

lorretta u: Apology accepted

Women aren't meant to discuss this

Why? I'd like to learn why

Nothing much, but if u are truly nwa-afo igbo, u should know that the issue of OSU in some part of igboland is a very delicate matter& it's not a public domain discussion& in thesame vain it isn't a matter for women to delve into.

As I said earlier, let us forget it, it does not exist anymore.
And remember it's now illegal& abominable to use that word in real life conversation in igboland.

Afam& his ilk have succeeded in turning this harmless thread into an Osu bullshit.
Someone tucked away in far away lagos & probably not have stepped his foot in igboland, is the one delving into a matter he has no knowledge of...smh

Blessy swt: Dis marriage tins cmes 4rm d hrt oh, so wat is bleve is dat is who eva ur hrt decide 2 b wit, i dnt tink language cn cme in at al

What are u writing, it appears, u are the only dumb-head here?

lorretta u: Please don't be rude to me
I don't take nonsense. I don't tolerate it either. Be civil or don't quote me to spout unwarranted insult.
Thanks

Sorry I don't mean to insult u , but there are matters women are not ment to discuss,& this, happens to be one.

Once again, sorry....

Spirit1: Osu has been abolished in Igbo land by who? What have you been drinking?..where have you been?? Go and read some history on Micheal Okpara who purportedly "abolished" Osu and other caste system in Igbo land. I am not advocating that people should be treated differently but "it is what it is" when it comes to Osu in Igboland. Be mindful that the Igbos are not the only group of people with a caste system. Indians have a well established caste system worse than Igbos.

Mister, shararrp I'm telling the reality on ground , & u naming one fictitious man & his outdated book

Truckpusher: You can actually lie to everyone ,but certainly not to your heart because the very lie you tell people originates from your heart.

Go google up things and see the systemic application of your shameful culture,infact somebody in this thread actually said that she jokingly brought up the issue before her people and that she was seriously rebuked .

Denying the obvious is as shameless as those that carry out such barbaric acts in this 21st century.

Would u rather believe what outsiders told u ,than a report of an insider.
As write this, the Osu balderdash had been abolished in igboland,especially Anambra state

babyosisi: [size=18pt]but the very rich Yoruba inlaws are always welcome
[/size]

We can manage those ones
If person must eat frog let it be one with berra adipose tissues

Nne u funny gaa

lorretta u: I was told that an osu is one who has been sacrificed to the gods (for one reason or another) or anyone who ran into a shrine for protection in case of danger or hot pursuit. Automatically becomes OSU,hence belongs to the gods and cannot mingle with free people,marry them or live with them
All his offspring is Osu and cannot relate to a free person (diala) even into the thousandth generation

Many igbos still practise this. My people can dig and dig into the past to make sure the bride or groom isn't of OSU lineage. Even The great grandchildren of the old OSUs aren't marriageable by free people. They believe it has grave consequences (barreness, death illness etc)

Me thinks *bladerdash*

Woman sharrap, go to romance section that's where u belong. Stop delving into matter bigger than u!!

dozai: Even me self marry yoruba, my people never kill me. and she is da bomb.

Soon than later he will marry another one join u, then u will hear wii

Psychedelia: Those communities that still engage in that practice are mostly in Anambra today.

Akpa-amu

Afam4eva: From my understanding, an OSU is a descendant of those that were sacrificed to the gods and the only way you'll know an Osu is if you're told. It's not written on the forehead. I've never seen an Osu in my life and invariably have not seen the discrimination people keep talking about. Though i heard there are communities that are wholly Osu people.

I will advice u stop commenting on that, that's not the topic of this thread
