Any1 who compares any German machine with any of those Japanese shaft-pulling plastic machines is completely basking in the euphoria of ignorance & automobile bondage.

Sire, there are 3 cars in the world; Bmw, Audi & Merc. The others are not even cars, they're bicycles.

Engineers like the Germansss - None!

You know your machines

Mckennedy:
hahahaha abeg ask them oo ,,, maybe they want to introduce yoruba language to igbos of Delta...lol yorubas are weeping..

They have to act speedily here

onenaira3:
This is one thing I hate about you annoying illiterates. It's one thing to make yourself spokesperson for SS, it's another to make yourself spokesperson for anioma. The same way SS didn't ask some Edo imposter to speak for the entire SS, is the same way we didn't ask an edo imposter like yourself to speak for us. Wtf is your ignorance. In your ludricous mind you think anioma would join some SS republic? For what reason? The only anioma group in Edo state is currently trying to get the hell away from Edo state and become part of delta state and in your ludicrous mind you honestly think anioma would join edo in some "SS republic"? Are ypu f2king kidding me? I don't know why you people keep pretending to be Edoians and disturbing us all over the internet regarding biafra when in fact Edo state (excluding the anioma group in edo) have NEVER been part of biafra, both in the past and present. This notice me by force is not just irritating, it's disgracfully disgusting.

While I'm at it, SS republic does not even exist, for one several tribes in SS have constantly expressed dem no want be part of any ND republic, SS republic, Lower Niger Congress or even Biafra but rather they support their agitation and once achieved would rather be a country by itself. Every SS knows this except imposters like yourself.

Why waste precious mb on that antelope

Mckennedy:
Anioma people speaks edo language?

I keep asking why these non igbo especially Yoruba r keen is dividing igbo
Okay anioma are Latinos

Many Amerindian minority languages are spoken throughout Brazil, mostly in Northern Brazil. The main indigenous languages are: Apalaí, Arara, Bororo, Canellla, Carajá, Caribe, Guarani (also in Paraguay), Kaingang, Nadëb, Nheengatu, Terena, Tucano and Xavante.

One of the two Brazilian línguas gerais (general languages), Nheengatu, was until the late 19th century the common language used by a large number of indigenous, European, African, and African-descendant peoples throughout the coast of Brazil—it was spoken by the majority of the population in the land. It was proscribed by the Marquis of Pombal for its association with the Jesuit missions. A recent resurgence in popularity of this language occurred, and it is now an official language in the city of São Gabriel da Cachoeira. Today, in the Amazon Basin, political campaigning is still printed in this Tupian language.


Despite the fact that Portuguese is the official language of Brazil and that the vast majority of Brazilians speak only Portuguese, there are several other languages spoken in the country. According to the president of IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) there are an estimated 210 languages spoken in Brazil. Eighty[citation needed] are Amerindian languages, while the others are languages brought by immigrants. The 1950 Census was the last one to ask Brazilians which language they speak at home. Since then, the Census does not ask about language. However, the Census of 2010 will ask respondents which languages they speak, allowing a better analysis of the languages spoken in Brazil.[14]

At least one of the indigenous languages, Nheengatu, became an official language alongside Portuguese in the municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira.[15]

Immigrant languages[edit]

Language in Brazil

Language is one of the strongest elements of Brazil's national unity. Portuguese is spoken by nearly 100 percent of the population. The only exceptions are some members of Amerindian groups and pockets of immigrants, primarily from Japan and South Korea, who have not yet learned Portuguese. The principal families of Indian languages are Tupí, Arawak, Carib, and Gê.

I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT BENZ DID A RE CALL IN THEIR CARS OH BUT JAPANESE CARS THAT IS AN ANNUAL OCCURRENCE



The $29,900 CLA coupe-like sedan has become the fastest-growing model in Mercedes history and the maker is about to launch the only slightly more expensive GLA crossover later this year. Audi, meanwhile, is bringing to market a new version of its A3 line, also starting under $30,000. Already available in Europe and other markets, it has matched the meteoric launch of the Mercedes CLA line.
(Lexus goes turbo with new NX compact crossover. Click Here for a look.)
Both makers are expected to add still more low-end offerings. Mercedes’ parent Daimler AG recently announced plans to enter a joint venture with Nissan to build a factory in Mexico that will produce several new small, low-priced models for both Mercedes and the Japanese maker’s own luxury line, Infiniti.

Though some have criticized the CLA for not offering quite the level of refinement of other, more expensive models, Cannon told TheDetroitBureau.com, “This is a true Mercedes-Benz.” And he dismissed the claims by Lexus boss Templin that you can’t build a real luxury car for under $30,000.

If anything, he said, makers like Mercedes have to go into that niche if they hope to win over young, first-time buyers who will be the life-blood of the brand going forward.
Whether this blitz of low-end offerings will hurt Lexus remains to be seen. The maker has other issues to deal with, including a general perception that its products are too bland. It has launched a push to put more “passion” into its offerings, a drive symbolized by the more polarizing spindle grille design it has adopted, as well as the more powerful engines being offered in many Lexus models.

(Mercedes turns shoppers into customers better than any other brand, says study. Click Here for a closer look.)

It is also introducing new, sportier models dubbed F, and F-Sport, including a high-performance version of the new RC Coupe. This strategy has sharply driven down the age of Lexus buyers, officials note. Lexus has largely been a Baby Boom brand, analysts note, and needs to attract Millennials and Gen Xers to grow.
If it won’t do that by low-balling its price, they add, it will have to find other ways to compete with the new German entries.

oweniwe:
For me, the word "igbo " means only one thing : the generalization name given by the white folks to describe the people living around and east the Niger river.

So if.... just like the ogu/egun people being refered to as yoruba cos the are in the s.w, to the white man in the 18th century, once you are from around d river niger or east of d river, to them, you are igbo.

but for the indigenous people, there was nothing like "igbo". oka (awka) man is simply oka... igbuzor man is simply igbuzor... owerre man is simply owerre... there was nothing like "igbo".

if you go back to the 17th century and call an nnewi man igbo, he will tell you he is nnewi and not igbo.

the word "igbo " is only for socio-political classification the white ppl use to identify lower niger folks.

Culturally, every "igbo" community, are very distinct, though they share similar attributes. you cannot say the cultural practices of idemili, owerre, ikwerre ukwuani etc are all the same. even the language spoken in those areas have slight variations.

so if you call me igbo as a Nigerian, okay... afterall Nigeria is all about ethnic politics ... but in the cultural roots, I am not igbo; I am ukwuani.

to be honest i use to respect you as my in law from ukwuani but I think my admiration for you has been upgraded to that of an intellectual and factual approach to things of life...you just analysed it...the ukwuani, enuani, ikwerre, nkwerre, nnewi, nneni man are distict in their attributes but same in cultural and language which is mutually intelligible with dialectical difference...just as the anglo-saxons then where c alled english and the whole Britannia then were called British so is igbo...that doesn't rob

kingreign:
do you know your C180 does 0-62mph dash in about 11 secs, while a C320 does same in approx 7 secs. whereas, a 4cyl xv40 CAMRY does same in approx 8 secs and the V6 does same in 5.8 secs?
A base C class is never better than a CAMRY CE. keep lying, don't forget people deal with facts and figures, and in terms of sales, it shows, even a base model Lexus IS200/220/250 has more gadgets than a base C class (both belongs to same class) a how dare you compare a rust bucket, wiring harness expiring vehicle with a CAMRY?
keep lying, we are watching you. I won't even discuss about an Avalon with you because even the headlamp of a 2014 Avalon is more premium, more of expensive, more engineered, more luxury high end than a E class 2014 headlamps.

You might be right in your own view and luckily I have driven these two cars you have mentioned and all I can say is that Mercedes is a marquee and the finest ...nobody ever compares a Toyota with Benz

Benz is for luxury and performance while Toyota is for utility and people car..benz is niche market

Where is my friend oweniwe

biafranking:
i will advised igbos in dis thread to forget this fool,he s nothing but a fvcking uninterested and boring mallamm...

Hopeathand where re yu.since chino dealt with you by displaying ur ass,yu nolonger appeared on igbos identity crises why..?

Stvpid cowards denying their major tribes cos of fears..

Gist me bout that hopeathand idiot ...I trust chino....

mustafo:
The Ibo dilemma is that their 5 landlocked states surrounded entirely by Nigeria is too small and not a viable country.

So they want to swallow SS but she is bigger and more economically viable than SE.

Further SS are mindful of Ojukwu's debacle and don't want to be tarnished by association.

Eh why are most of Yoruba despicable.... Not all..so in your idiotic mind we don't have igbo in as

What do they speak in pH bonny elele asaba agbor etc

He is right GI find your two faced brothers in west

Ephemmm:
Futile dream.

I keep asking why are Nigerians scared of igbo leaving ....especially Yoruba

Why afraid

kaeforum:
Its a luxury right, but does not hold its value , the Japanese on the other hand hold their value even when the clock 200,000 miles.

Give me the Japanese that have Won a formula 1 racing convincingly then I give you many Benz

I use Benz n Japanese

But there are two cars in the world ... Benz and others

chucky234:
LMAO a base model C class will make Camry and Avalon of same year look nothing but empty box.
Don't even mention Rav4, Corolla and Highlander because they are boring and soulless cars.
Honda, Nissan and Mazda make better cars than Toyota.

That c class was the first Benz I drove ...bro come and see how it was embarrassing Camry muscle and Avalon ...oh what about the handling and connering. Whtbtrios me is the clearance of that car and ease maneuverability... I just started hating my Nisan car

When you drive a Benz on 160 kmph you will understand that Japanese build paper calling it cars

imhotep:
LMAO
See their cut-off marks.
Tomorrow they want to go and compete with Americans and Germans
Lazy folk

They admit that we are intellectually better that is why they gave u higher cut off. May lord be blessed for making me igbo

patrick89:
Ay is not yoruba, skales is not yoruba, reekado isn't yoruba, suspect is not yoruba! most companies yyou listed have nothing to do with never do well tribe called yoruba!!

Easy on him bro

imhotep:
He is not tribalistic, he is realistic.

Nigerian sub-standard quota system education is a big embarrassment.

Emvarresment to them because they set a higher standard for Igbo and lower standard for themselves ..confirming that Igbo are smarter


Anyway I am not suprised ....wise men will always come from east

patrick89:
I beg the moderators Lalasticlala and Afam4eva please never you move this misleading research to front page it's very misleading! there so many distortions in this report! this will misguide some ignorant researchers that swallow everything on Internet. Please do not push this to the front page! scholes0 is known for his misguided research

Why is it misleading ?is it because the lies thy father's told are now out

Breeze don blow we now know say fowl no get toto

WarRLaY:
You are not Igbotic, you are tribalistic

If your definition of tribalistic means that I should not be proud of Igbo ...call me tribalistic..I don't have any iota of apology


I am too proud of my Igbo origin and people be they good or bad

Igbos putting Nigeria in Map since the time of Alexander dynasty

BuddahMonk:
King Hate the Great

He looks mummified and petrified though

kettykin:
It seems the more this people are marginalised in Nigeria the more God emancipates and promotes them in the world.

Thank God for his infinite mercies over the igbo race.
If it had not been the LORD who was{a} on our side, now may Igbo say .....Psalm 124:1
