Nairaland is so dry nowadays, not too many people give replies anymore.... Where has everyone ported to?

They have systematically killed nairaland...oh technically speaking

But why are you people complaining ..your man bubu confirmed it and British airways endorsed it.

Get used to it

excellentmomma:
Oh the price of oil starting going down as soon as Bubu came? There must be something bad about his face then.

Bubu even said it ..that he doesn't know why any time he enters the oil falls


He must be a bad luck

ogbs2020love:
I hope he has shares in slot, cause he is just building slots brand.

I also see him delivering to diamond bank staff , very nice

Has d banj turned to delivery man...I thought he was selling garri ?

BellaElla:
Wow, this is astounding. So u mean Igbo ladies like myself that married out of our tribes are bad with dirty histories. Simply incredulous!!!! Your logic is embarrassingly flawed. I wonder where u have been to or how you grew up, your thought process is shockingly backward. If you have mingled at all or worked with big organizations you would know that one great factor that influences choice of life partner is location. It would be foolish of one to pass up on good men or women around them simply because they are from different tribes or because they do not want to be termed wayward. God! I feel retarded even typing this. I have heard lots of ludicrous statements but clap for yourself, this one takes the cake.

No I am not generalist but I am talking from my own observation ....not that it is all but 90% of the ladies that lack decency or have ruptured history go for the external ....ok lets take for instance an igbo lady that has two kids from different men yet not married ..tell me which igbo man will marry such ?

But I strictly tend to follow the injunction of bible

Marry your types ...mind you that's me
Oh I am even married
So follow your heart


Thanks

Hello Tonyechristoper, I had to create this new moniker because the mods are always blocking the other one. The mods has corrupted my mind.

Why should you allow mod to corrupt your mind ....pls don't allow that . ALWAYS STAY ON THE SIDE OF TRUTH

gentleheart1:
Shush don't be a fool, you are very daft.
Now let this sink into your head slowpoke,you smellos where under the bini kingdom not like I care but you people are very stupid for twisting history and comparing your politically installed Obas to the great Oba of Benin.

Fyi I am not igbo dimwit.

Igbo are their nemesis


They get fidgeted


He called u igbo

I am laughing

Brilliance9000:
When I tell people yoruba are responsible for the destruction of Nigeria, they think I 'm being hyperbolic. This fellow just confirmed it. Yoruba are bastardly tribalistic..it runs deep in their blood and DNA.

They blame igbo for everything that befall them

MayorofLagos:
Nigeria is going through a rebirth. In the process treading carefully to avoid pitfalls of past mistakes and making cautious forward progress in new area of unknowns.

One of our past errors is giving position of authority and leadership to Ibos. Time after time it has been proven, through historical and performance records, that Ibo lacks self-reflection, self guidance and respect for legacy when given public trust. This laxity is cultural and does not discriminate on the social status of a candidate, so that a highly acclaimed individual in a professional or academic field is as much a carrier of this malady in his consciousness as is the truck pusher in Idunmota or the porter in Apapa Harbour.

In government appointments it can therefore be expected that a position of authority will come to ruin under leadership of Ibo. We cannot totally exclude them from governance, but it is imperative that they are tutored on how to lead and exercise power and authority. For that reason Ibo in government appointment, particularly one in which importance is attached to ego and drive, should be put under supervision of a superior intelligence in administrative and leadership qualities, like a Yoruba or Hausa, so that the even handed guide can act as voice of wisdom and reasoning to correct his subordinate Ibo on how to self preserve and succeed.


Mod, you can go ahead and ban me now. I violated rule#2.

Your stupidity is pristine .....you talk like a deranged person . Did igbo traumatise you

Blame igbo
Blame Jonathan
Blame PDP

But don't blame your confused president and his rag tag team

freshvine:
I see a disconnect Here!

All the igbo ladies commenting here are married to Yoruba men and they're proud of their marriage but not a single igbo man here relating to marrying a yoruba lady.

What's the problem?

Th ratio of igbo men that married outside is very low even if they will marry they marry from near by tribes like cross rivers and Delta

An average well brought up igbo lady wants to marry an igbo man and will marry one but when the bad ones with dirty history doesn't see husband they end up as available becoming desirable


Look at tonto

Even God told the Israelites to marry within their tribes

So what are we arguing here

You see what it means ..how can a mother be in cocaine business

This is shameful... For those calling igbo or Yoruba ..crime is a universal thing so emancipate your mind

theshaderoom:
The name Nweze is actually delta ibo but what is your point though?

Oga NWEZE is a general igbo name for prince

dearpreye:
My brother, sometimes one has to engage and attempt to enlighten these people. We are heading a dangerous direction.

Some people are unengageable

Bros learn how to write people off and give up on some people...That I have learnt ..so pls toe the line

dearpreye:
And this one is amongst the youths that are supposed to become leaders tomorrow? This is amongst the same leaders Ben is passionately making a case for? Obviously there's more hope for Nigeria TODAY than it is for tomorrow.

They (Zombies) wont see this, Why? because they are morons and zombies

They(Wailers) will ponder over this and make an informed decision


How did we get into this mess?

who are those that put bunch of Gerontocrats

Buhari is not a democrat but a Gerontocrat

We are not in democracy but Gerontocracy

Muafrika2:
How would you then, explain the discrepancy with African American performance, considering that a huge number of African Americans are actually descendants of igbo slaves?

The question of who is African.

While the variability hypothesis is intriguing, it is not without problems. For one, it may be that certain groups possess greater variation in genetic material than others, but this property has not been shown to be isomorphic with skin color. As well, even if one could demonstrate such a relationship, it would be necessary to also demonstrate that this factor was causal in black athletic preeminence. To date, none of these relationships have been shown to be true.

Furthermore, in the United States, where black athletes have excelled on both the national and international level, the assumption of intra-group homogeneity is problematic since migratory patterns and intermarriage among peoples from different groupings have created a genetic admixture which is too complex to meaningfully disentangle. Price (1997b) points out that although most black Americans are descendants of slaves who emanated from western Africa, 90% have some white blood in their ancestry. An interesting example of this point is illustrated when one attempts to categorize Tiger Woods. He has been hailed by some as the first black golfer to win the Masters. But Tiger contends that he does not consider himself black, but "cablinasian," which more accurately portrays his Caucasian, Black, American Indian and Asian heritage (El Nasser, 1997). Again, from a sociological viewpoint what constitutes a black in the United States relates to whether or not an individual has any black ancestry, rather than whether his or her underlying genetics is representative of a group of people a common gene pool. Consequently, even if we were to subscribe to the variability hypothesis conveyed by Burfoot (1992) and Gladwell (1997), we would still have the problem of identifying individuals who were members of the group to which the idea applied. Simply categorizing individuals as black or white would not be enough.

Muafrika2:
How would you then, explain the discrepancy with African American performance, considering that a huge number of African Americans are actually descendants of igbo slaves?

PHILADELPHIA -- People who identify as African-American may be as little as 1 percent West African or as much as 99 percent, just one finding of a large-scale, genome-wide study of African and African-American ancestry released today.

An international research team led by scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University has collected and analyzed genotype data from 365 African-Americans, 203 people from 12 West African populations and 400 Europeans from 42 countries to provide a genome-wide perspective of African and African-American ancestry.......................The data reveal genomic diversity among African and African-American populations far more complex than originally thought and reflect deep historical, cultural and linguistic impacts on gene flow among populations. The data also point to the ability of geneticists to reliably discern ancestry using such data. Scientists found, for example, that they could distinguish African and European ancestry at each region of the genome of self-identified-African Americans.

This newly acquired genetic data revealed a number of important advances, including:

The rich mosaic of African-American ancestry. Among the 365 African-Americans in the study, individuals had as little as 1 percent West African ancestry and as much as 99 percent. There are significant implications for pharmacogenomic studies and assessment of disease risk. It appears that the range of genetic ancestry captured under the term African-American is extremely diverse, suggesting that caution should be used in prescribing treatment based on differential guidelines for African-Americans.
A median proportion of European ancestry in African-Americans of 18.5 percent, with large variation among individuals.
The predominately African origin of X chromosomes of African-Americans. This is consistent with the pattern of gene flow where mothers were mostly of African ancestry while fathers were either of African or European ancestry.
A technique which can reliably distinguish African and European ancestry for any particular region of the genome in African-Americans. This could have implications for personalized ancestry reconstructions, personalized medicine and more effective drug treatments and could aid in developing more effective methods for mapping genetic risk factors for diseases common in African-Americans, such as hypertension, diabetes and prostate cancer.
The similarity of the West African component of African-American ancestry to the profile from non-Bantu Niger-Kordofanian speaking populations, which include the Igbo and Yoruba from Nigeria and the Brong from Ghana
A comparison of the West African segments of African-American genomes. This is wholly in line with historical documents showing that the Igbo and Yoruba are two of the 10 most frequent ethnicities in slave trade records; however, most African-Americans also have ancestry from Bantu-speaking populations in western Africa.
Population structure within the West African samples reflecting primarily language and secondarily geographical distance, echoing the Bantu expansion from a homeland in West Africa across much of sub-Saharan Africa around 4,000 years ago.

Yeah..along the line the genes has been diluted or watered down by mixing with Natives American , you know the drop rule

We Don’t Need Anymore Black Entertainers or Athletes- We need more SKILLED PROFESSIONALS!



It’s Graduation season. And Shawn wants to give some advice to the class of 2014.

Boys and girls we don’t need any more Black Entertainers in the Black community. We’re full up.

We don’t need any more rappers. We got enough Negroes running around here with sagging pants baggy T-shirts and bling looking hard, flexin and posing talking about they’re going to be the next Diddy and Jay-Z.

We got enough little girls twerkin’ jerkin and shaking their narrow little behinds trying to be the next Lil’ Kim.

We don’t need any more of these hip hop minstrels buckdancing and Coonin’ as they rap about bitches, hoes, and the dope game like it’s 1986. Stop trying to make Demo records on your iPhone and burning CD’s on your mama’s desktop. Stop harassing people in the neighborhood shopping districts on the weekend handing out free copies of your CD hoping to become a rap superstar. Diddy, Jay-Z and his producers ain’t coming to your neighborhood to discover your ass.

Black Boys and girls we don’t need any more Divas. We got enough Black females running around in short slinky dresses with all their cleavage and ass out talking about how they’re gonna be the next Beyonce. Or the Next Rihanna.

We don’t need any more of our sistas parading around half-naked and butt naked in music videos, on the covers of magazines and on record albums. We got enough little Black girls singing about how big their booties are and how sexy they are when they don’t even know what the word sexy means.

Sistas, we don’t need you to be Beyonce. We don’t need you to be Rihanna. We need you to be you. And we need you to go to school and get your education.

When you head down the wanna-be Diva road all that’s going to happen to you is you’re going to get told NO in the next series of American Idol auditions. Then what are you going to do with the rest of your life?

Black Boys and girls we don’t need any more Basketball players aspiring to be in the NBA. We got enough Negroes running around here with their chest and arms all tatted up talking about how they’re gonna be the next Lebron, the Next Kobe, or even the next Michael Jordan.

Half these Negroes think because they can dunk a ball on a playground court against some neighborhood guys they got the skills to be in the NBA. And the other half think because they scored a few points in a Varsity game or two in high school that they’re on their way to the NBA.

I’d advise them to focus on their algebra, trigonometry and calculus rather than their jump shot. If they did the math they’d see the chances of them getting that million dollar sneaker deal from Nike are a billion to one.

In most cases the handful of brothers who do make it in the NBA wind up second or third string. And most wind broke in three to five years after their careers end because most of these ballers lack the math skills to manage their money effectively.

It’s better for most of these brothers to focus their time on learning about finance and building wealth than being a basketball . Screw the Varsity and focus on getting a degree.

Boys and girls we don’t need any more football stars. The Black community is full up of Negroes running around trash talking about being the next Michael Strahan, Adrien Petesen or Jerry Rice.

Half these Negroes think because they can run with a football in Varsity they’re ready for the NFL. The other half think because they can catch a football tossed to them in a game of catch on the block they’re ready to take on the Super Bowl champs.

None of these Negroes are ready for Prime Time.

What they need to do is take them books on and learn more about plants in science class than practicing their End Zone Dance.

The chances of making it in the NFL are a billion to one. And in most cases the handful of brothers who do make it there wind up second or third string. And again, most wind up broke in three to five years after their careers end.

Let Shawn tell you what we really need in the Black community:

We need more scientists. It’s been decades since we’ve had a Dr. Charles Richard Drew create innovations like the Blood transfusion. Blacks have made countless innovations in the field of science. And we desperately need more brothers and sisters to enter the field of science to continue creating innovative medical procedures that will enrich the lives of mankind.

We need more doctors. Thirty years ago we had thousands of Black people entering the medical field and there was literally a doctor in almost every family. Now there’s a desparate need for medical professionals in the Black community.

We need more engineers. Engineers design everything from soda cans to skyscrapers. And many great inventions were created by Black engineers. However, we don’t

We need more Black people in Information Technology. Lots of brothers and play video games. Lots of sistas spend their time texting people. But how many of us are creating games? And how many of us are creating apps to communicate with others?

Computers now are an integral part of life controlling everything from lights to our cell phones and even the content we watch on the internet and our televisions. However, most Black people are still living in a proverbial stone age thinking they can get by with a VCR and a tube television with a coat hanger attached to it. In Black communities more people are interested in being entertainers than IT technicians, coders, web designers and systems analysts. We need brothers and sisters to learn how to break down a tablet, a laptop or a desktop and put it back together. And we need people to learn how to build networks, Internet Service providers and web hosting companies so we can control the Black part of the World Wide Web.

We need more Teachers. Enter any inner-city classroom and you’ll see all the teachers are White. That’s bad for Black children. When Black kids don’t see someone who looks like them as their teacher they learn White Supremacy at an early age because the first adult authority figure they see is a White person. They grow up believing White means smarter and associate being intelligent with being White. And when they’re told that there’s something wrong with them for acting out in class, they believe it in most cases for the rest of their lives.

When Black kids have Black teachers there’s a positive impact. When kids see someone who looks like them as their teacher, they grow up believing it’s possible for a Black person to achieve something. That it’s possible for Black people to be authority figures. And that being intelligent isn’t a “White” thing, it’s a human thing. There’s a desperate need for Black teachers, especially Black male teachers in the classroom. If more Black boys and girls saw someone who looked like them in the classroom the chances are better for them to aspire to be something other than a rapper and a ball player.

We need more screenwriters. Less than 2% of all the screenwriters who work in Hollywood in a given year are Black. And In order to get films, TV shows and movies made about the Black experience we need Black people with the ability to write our stories in format for the screen. Screenwriting is a craft and a skill trade that desperately needs more Black people in it and learning about it.

We need more directors and Black people behind the camera. The film industry in America is 95% white and 95% male. And we desperately need more Black people behind the camera. Film production is a skill trade with dozens of careers that can last a lifetime. But most Black people don’t think of becoming grips, best boys, stage hands, set designers, set decorators, wardrobe specialists, prop supervisor, camera operators, script supervisors, visual effects specialists, make-up artists, stuntpeople and other people with better paying union jobs behind the camera because they’ve been made to believe that the real power is in front of it.

We need more actors. Most of our Black actors and actresses are now in their 40s 50s and 60s. And there’s no one learning the craft to replace them. Right now we need young talent to become the next Angela Bassett, the next Denzel Washington, and the next Morgan Freeman. We need more Journeymen like Samuel L. Jackson. We need young brothers and sisters to pick up the baton and learn the craft of acting so that our stories can be told to the next generation.

We need Black Studio Executives. Want to know why there are so few Black films produced in a calendar year? Because there are ZERO Black executives in Hollywood. In order to get films greenlit you need to have a seat at the studio table. And because Black people don’t have the business skills to get a seat at the table great screenplays by Black writers never get the greenlight for production. Without a Black man controlling the money at the top, Black people at the bottom from actors to commissary don’t get jobs.

We need more writers and artists. An image, a sculpture, a painting or a written or a spoken word can inspire a generation. The only way to tell stories about the Black experience and Black culture is for us to do it ourselves. We desperately need Black writers and artists to tell our stories in the arts for African-American audiences. Art is another skill trade with plenty of jobs. But because the money isn’t fast, most Black people don’t see it as a set of skills that are valuable.

We need more people in the culinary arts. Foodservice is a huge business. It’s a skill trade that can be taken anywhere once a person learns it. Whether in a food truck or working the line at a restaurant there’s always a need for skilled foodservice workers. Everybody’s gotta eat, so there’s always a job in a restaurant somewhere.

We need more publishers. The image of Black people is now controlled by six corporations. That’s dangerous. It’s due to these big six corporations controlling the image of Black people that we have so many images of minstrel rappers and athletes, and jezebel singers and reality show stars. If there were more responsible and conscientious Black publishers controlling the image of Black people we’d see more images of Black scientists, engineers, doctors and other Black professionals and less of these two bit entertainers.

We need more businesspeople. In Hollywood there are no Black executives. And in Corporate America there are next to no Blacks in any of the senior executive positions at multi-national corporations. Right now we need more Black people starting their own businesses and creating opportunities for other Black people. We need businesspeople focused on creating a group economic business model for the Black community to create jobs that get Black people out of poverty.


Brothers and sisters, as you finish school and take yourself to the next level realize that what your community needs are skilled people ready to make a difference in the lives of people in this generation and the next one to come. The average entertainment career barely lasts two to four years, and after it’s over most entertainers are broke or struggling to make ends meet. But people who have specialized skills have careers that last a lifetime and will oftentimes always find a way to make themselves money.

A Yoruba friend asked an IPOB Friend this ---:--- under what conditions would you support One Nigeria and let go of the Biafra agitation and let it died down and finally laid to rest for good ?. Here was my response:

1. Close down Lagos ports and Open up PH, Calabar, Onitsha and Warri ports.

2. Cancel all direct and major connecting flights to Lagos and Abuja airports…only local connecting flights will be allowed. While this is being done, open up Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo and PH to international flights…direct and major connecting flights.

3. Ask all international and diplomatic missions to move their embassies and consulates from Lagos, Kano and Abuja to Enugu, PH and Calabar.

4. All federal governments’ agencies in Lagos and Abuja shall be relocated to Enugu, PH and Calabar. CBN, NNPC, e.t.c shall and must relocate to PH, Calabar and Enugu.

5. All multinational companies in Lagos and Abuja, shall and must relocate their offices to PH, Calabar and Enugu.

6.All oil companies must relocate their head offices to PH, as the oil capital of Nigeria .

7. Let the northern children gain admission into federal schools with 300 score points while the South Eastern Children should gain admission with only 20 score points .

8. Let all federal road projects in the North/SW should be handled by one local companies and the one in the SE/SS should be handled by Julius Berger and foreign construction companies.

7.. If these conditions can be fulfilled and implemented for 50years , we can try one Nigeria and let see if you the North and SW will like it for a month. Meaning, Yorubas and Hausas needing to get visas shall travel to PH, Calabar or Enugu to do that. Same with flying or connecting flights, same with shipping and importing their goods, e.t.c.

The Yoruba friend replied: you can’t be serious, this is wickedness. I said really? Don’t you think South Eastern part of Nigeria have been suffering and enduring this very same wickedness for over 50 yrs? He was quiet for a few seconds and said: wow, you are right but it never occurred to me. I said, that’s the problem with One Nigeria, those who are benefiting from it, love it and would love to maintain the status quo. Let each region develop at her own pace , with airport, sea ports , industries , major projects open to be develop in any part of Nigeria without government interference or strangulation due to tribalism and nepotism !.

Let Nigeria be fair to all irrespective of tribe, religion and place of birth. Let there be true federalism and resources control, with the elimination of quota system and federalism character in Nigeria .Let have equal respect for one another irrespective of where the person is coming from in Nigeria.That is what Biafra agitation is all about ..
