Josh090: @tomakint, I don't have any thing against igbos, I had a Igbo room mate for 4 out of my 6 years in the uni and he is my brother. I served in south south but go to south east often so, am not a stranger to igboland, although I was robbed at onitsha once but I don't hold it against them, but I only speak against those peddling lies about Ibadan and yoruba people in general both Igbo and Yoruba doesn't matter.

...then I have a friend in you! I am only against chronic bigots in the house be it Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Ibibio, Edo and so on!

ITbomb: Never too late to add yours
Nice collections

thanks pal, infact that is the object of the topic, I want nairalanders to come up with something unique, I mean form your own words and give it your own transcription, that's all!

Josh090: @tomakint, I don't intend for you to be a tribal bigot o, whenever you want to defend the easterners you are free to do so, but in this case they are the aggressors and you should keep away if you don't have any positive thing to say about your homeland.

I have more than 1 thousand good things to say about my race (the Yorubas) if the atmosphere permit me, but all the while I maintained my 'guest status' before I became a member of Nairaland and the rate at which 'tribal warfare' was going on then really made me felt discouraged to join, but when I took the courage to do so, I decided to lay the truth as I see it. I am not against my people is just that what we condemned the Igbos of doing (ritual killings, armed robberies, kidnapping and other vices) we also do if in doubt pick the weekly Yoruba magazine; Akede, Alaroye etc So, my point is why try to remove the plank in the eyes of other while the log in your own eyes is not removed. My point!

Josh090: It's not about this thread really, it's just that you are mostly pro Igbo (which is not bad in itself) but you always claim Yoruba, it doesn't match.

Well, I must confess, you talk like a wise guy who sound objective especially in your last post (the one I am quoting now). I would have loved it if you can point my attention to those ‘posts of mine’ that were somehow according to you. I don’t think you’ve ever stayed in the eastern part of Nigeria before. Most Yoruba-raised children are born to engage the Igbo-raised children in an ‘unnecessary innate rivalries’, which on the long run blossom into ‘games of hatred’ that is still prevalent till date. I was born with those traits and I live with those traits for many years until I was privileged to visit the Eastern part (Abia State) and lived there (Isuikwuato) for more than a year. After my departure from Isuikwuato, I was renewed; my hatred was replaced with a deep love for my Igbo brothers and sisters! I understood their positions, passions, ways of lives, ethics, traditions, dos and don’ts, merits and demerits, tastes about lives, beliefs and lastly their weaknesses.

Most of the tribes (particularly the Yorubas) have failed to understand the feelings of the Igbos toward the contraption called Nigeria. Up to now, they have not been integrated fully into Nigeria’s political mainstream, they are still being suspected after 42 years of an ill-fated Nigerian-Biafran war that crushed them and left them totally broken spiritually, financially and emotionally. After 42 years, some goons still deride them of what befell them in the Civil War! I thought I heard and read it in history that after the unfortunate war, the common slogan of the then Military Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, to the new unified country was ‘No victor, no vanquished,’ perhaps, I was wrong! They (the Igbos) have been the butt of jokes everywhere on Nairaland as if other tribes are better of on what we accused them of. I have realised that majorities who always poke fun at this progressive tribe have neither visited Igbo land nor have stayed there for a while even though they might have paid a visit. The Igbos may have made some costly political mistakes at the beginning of the journey called Nigeria through their leaders (especially the sly Zik of Africa, who wants to have it all) but that doesn’t make all IGBOS sly. Yorubas have bad leaders too; does that make all YORUBAS bad? No!

My position is; the N’digbos is a race who found themselves in a place where they have to chart their own course, regardless of the odds stacked against them! They took their own destinies in their own hands and today by dints of hard work, never-say die spirits and knack for commerce they are the better for it. President of Nigeria or not, Igbos have no cause to worry. I visited so many places while I was in Igbo land and I must confess I have to give it to them; the Igbo story is a unique example of dreams do come true!

Once again, I am not expecting you to believe me but I have to state my opinion about a race I will forever love for the rest of my life. For the records, I am a Yoruba man from Ondo State, if you are still being bamboozled by dayokanu's scams I am afraid I cannot help you, my point!!!

dayokanu: He is Yibhoe as well, He is the same as Andre Uweh.

Most of the comment of Tomakint are always quoted or liked by his other ID andre Uweh. He thinks he is Yoruba because he attended University of Ibadan and can speak basic Yoruba

Dayokanu is that you? Oh my goodness, I can't believe you are still here, wao ...merry christmas and a happy new year in advance ***tomakint giggles to himself*** I thought by now your dementia would have healed up, stop your character assassination of me, I am tomakint, (and not Andre Uweh, Ngodigha1, Abadaba that you were aimlessly propagating all around) a Yoruba man, who studied in OAU, Ile ife, stop the lying it is not going to help your case and for once in your life be civil when conversing with me stop peddling those innuendos against me! How is your family?

Josh090: Are you the mouth piece for the east?

...and in what way has my post made me one? Just asking and I need your response asap!

omojesu123: olumide or what did u name ur self..u are big fool...it's beta 4 GEJ to rule till 2019 .than 4 buhari to rule 4 a day..mumu like u...u only sat down in d SW typing rubish...do u tink pple 4rm benue,jos,southern kaduna,taraba,nasaraw.,kogi would vote buhari.? If dat wat u tink then u are a big mumu

You wonder why I times I just laughed at clowns in the house who keep referring to Jonathan as 'retardeen' as if to be the President of this country for a day is a big fun. It seems the spirit of collective amnesia have started to take its toll on my fellow Nigerian Youths, I mean its that weird and demonic. If you ask some clowns they will still prefer Sanusi Lamido Sanusi to Jonathan, it is that bad!! Despite what these 'funky mallams' have done to us as a nation!

Andre Uweh: They hardly step out of their natural habitat.

My brother, you wonder why my people commit the 'fallacy of hasty generalizations' most times on this forum?

Hi Nairalanders, I just stumbled on the following words, let me know if you find them worthy, of course they don't exist at the moment but I felt should, happy studying;


1. AQUADEXTROUS: (ak wa deks’ trus) adj. Possessing the ability to turn the bathtub tap on and off with your toes.


2. CARPERPETUATION: (kar’ pur pet u a shun) n. The act, when vacuuming, of running over a string or a piece of lint at least a dozen times, reaching over and picking it up, examining it, then putting it back down to give the vacuum one more chance.


3. DISCONFECT: (dis kon fekt’) v. To sterilize the piece of confection (lolly) you dropped on the floor by blowing on it, assuming this will somehow ‘remove’ all the germs.


4. ELBONICS: (el bon’ iks) n. The actions of two people maneuvering for one armrest in a movie theater.


5. FRUST: (frust) n. The small line of debris that refuses to be swept onto the dustpan and keeps backing a person across the room until he finally decides to give up and sweep it under the rug.


6. LACTOMANGULATION: (lak’ to man gyu lay’ shun) n. Manhandling the “open here” spout on a milk container so badly that one has to resort to the ‘illegal’ side.


7. PEPPIER: (peph ee ay’) n. The waiter at a fancy restaurant whose sole purpose seems to be walking around asking diners if they want fresh ground pepper.


8. PHONESIA: (fo nee’ zhuh) n. The affliction of dialing a phone number and forgetting whom you were calling just as they answer.


9. PUPKUS: (pup’kus) n. The moist residue left on a window after a dog presses its nose to it.


10. TELECRASTINATION: (tel e kras tin ay’ shun) n. The act of always letting the phone ring at least twice before you pick it up, even when you’re only six inches away.

All these tantrums, brickbats, salvos launched at Jonathan will blow us no good, the scheming of the day is being fanned by the 'enemies within' who never wanted Jonathan in the first place. If by error of commission or omission a 'funky mallam' should rapala (gatecrash)into Power in Nigeria trust me the case of Nigeria will be worst than 'season film' eni duro wo tan! Jonathan should be encouraged and prayed for, my point!

veraponpo: The reality you dont want to face is that Ibadan is not in the class of any eastern cities. Ibadan is well industrialized I believe after Lagos and Ogun or better than Ogun state but far better than any Eastern state. It is big, With over 3 milion people
It is a good market for Foreign direct investment, small scale companies as well as agriculture. If you dont like Ibadan, you can go and hug power plant.

I don't intend to join issues with you, have you been to any major cities in the eastern part before?

A nation that spends 70% of her budget on recurrent expenditures (salaries,allowances of real workers,ghost workers and political appointees) and 30% of her budget on capital expenditures is bound to go bankrupt! Exactly the sign of what is to come, seriously that guy called Sanusi Lamido Sanusi has a secret agenda, he must be closely watched! He has a secret agenda to rule, just watch out!

..

Will they allow that to work for my Naija? No be tuday we don dey hear all these juicy stories, ***tomakint slams door and moves to his library for better things to do***

dayohope1: You see them as Igbo, Ghana military see them as Nigerians. Go to Ghana and tell them you are not Igbo.
Note: I am from Abeokuta.

Friend, I just 'liked' your post now for that!

Be careful what you post here JeSoul (that princess of Nairaland) is watching you

akpomeme: I agree, Jesus had dread locks and was dark skinned. Hebrew people where Jesus's root can be traced are actually black people. The zoinist Isreal of today is part of the plans to subdue the truth and uphold lies... David, Solomom etc had black origin. Google it and educate yourselves more.

we all knew where the Jews originated from, we all knew the colour of their skins, we all knew Jesus was a Jew while on earth.....and the next thing you are referring us to Google to read another ludicrous contributions perhaps writen by a psychobabbler, my friend don't do research beyond your power ooo, there are limits to researches

Naija must represent sha at all cost

Before nko? Nigeria has been the dumping ground for anything 'fairly and now seriously used goods from abroad. ***No pun intended***

[quote author=gree-die]im exactly as my name depicts... gree-die, not greedy [/quote]...why not try a career in stand up comedy, never mind you are female I have a feeling you will thrive there coz you really rock with your 'good sense of humour' no pun intended, I am dead serious! Oh by the way, thanks for seeing my '9 Dolphins on the other post'!

Ola one: The same Wale Oke who engaged in extra-marital affair in the '90s?

....and who had since repented of his deeds and move on with life in Christ getting bigger and bigger in his Ministry and you are here still whinning about a forgotten case

The gospel truth we all love to ignore is that, most men only plan for WEDDING forgeting that wedding along with its attendant elaborations and effizzies are just for few hours but failed to realize that MARRIAGE is the real issue and the cruz of the matter! So if you ask me, I will also reply; WHY WON"T THEY CHANGE? Because they actually did not prepare for it in the real sense!
