Interesting.

They may need to ask Shell why their environmental practices in that region are worse than elsewhere.

Somehow, I suspect there may be a local connection as well.

naijaking1:
For people used to inaccurate and misleading census, no wonder many people here don't appreciate Rickblack's perspective. Any method likely to show Nigeria's real and true ethnic proportionality is condenmed. Why did we not want tribe listed during the census? Because, the results were already predetermined, and the ruling minority assigned majority proportions--- after all that's how the federal cake is divided.
So don't make fun of social demographic of Nigerians, because when you combine the figures with other studies, such as satelite, school enrollment, hospital admission and birth/death rate, then you begin to see census figures quite different from those released by Hausa people.

@ bolded: not necessarily so.



It must be a headache to rule Nigerians, I swear.

Outstrip:
This strory get as e be? Ahmed Okoro Evbhon.
Arabic first name
Ibo middle name
Bini last name

I wonder too oh.

Which kind of family is this, with the sister having a Christian name -Patience- while the brother has a Muslim name?

Something's fishy here.

QuotaSyste:
Your response didn't surprise me at all. Coming from a son of the low life scums that refused to include ethnicity and religion to hide the fact that Igbos are the mejority ethnic goup in nigeria. Don't worry, soon we shall reverse all those rubbish that was put in place by your illiterate parents so the whole world will know what they are supposed to know about your rubbish country.

I think you need to up your medication and cut back on the cocaine.

QuotaSyste:
Any reason to live out Ethnicity and Religion during census??

Religion and ethnicity were left out because unfortunately Nigeria seems to have an abundance of bone headed ignoramuses of your type.

ie, the almajiris of an ethnic persuasion.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=137773.msg2757312#msg2757312 date=1220592559]My ancestry are from two directions - one of them came from Bini in the 1600s and settled in Lagos.[/quote]1600 is far nah.

I myself should be claiming all kinds of places if I were to apply that yardstick. (assuming the family history even goes that far back).

Are you sure it wasnt sooner?

Ibime:
Yorubas are probably less tribal. . . . we discussed in the culture thread why Yorubas do not go back to their village for Christmas and we saw that many Yorubas do not identify too much with their village or town, but rather the city they live in.

@ bolded: You saw wrong.

The vast majority of Yorubas identify strongly with their hometowns and villages, regardless where they actually live.

iceland:
GBAM! :oWell said!

I was disappointed too when I read seun's reply.He lacked foresight.Go to Ghana and see how clean they are.and look very well if you'll see public toilets and waste bins up to the ones currently in Nigeria.WE ARE DIRTY!Period!

Kindly read The Beautyful Ones are Not yet Born, then come back and repost.

don't know about these statistics on facebook.

Igbos are generally very community oriented, so a facebook group called Young Fly and Igbo is likely to quickly fill up and have a lot of members. Its quite rare for an Igbo person not to identify with fellow Igbos.

A facebook group called Young Fly and Yoruba, on the other hand, will have some Yorubas, but it doesnt mean the majority of Yorubas on Facebook are members of this group. Some Yorubas will see it and still pass on by, not bothering to join, or else wanting to stay in their own clique elsewhere.

Take me for example. I'm Yoruba and active on nairaland yet I've only checked the Yoruba thread (see below) maybe twice. Never posted there either. Why? I find the discussions hard to follow.

What I'm saying is I'm not sure the group numbers are an accurate yardstick to base a categorical statement on.


Check this out:

Igbo kwenu thread, Join us if you can speak Igbo/are proud to be Igbo:  17059 replies, 78455 views.

Yoruba speaking thread: Join us if you can speak Yoruba: 4746 replies, 34840 views.



draw conclusions then look at some other data:


Igbo Kwenu thread: first post July 2006.

Yoruba thread: first post April 2007.



https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/board-55.0.html


Igbo kwenu thread was started almost a year before Yoruba speaking thread. This is one of the facts which should be considered in order to make an informed analysis of the initial information.


Am not sure how many Igbos there are in general, but I do know they're very community oriented, and tend to respond to anything that involves the culture.

KarmaMod:
Other countries would be just as Dirty if not for the fact that they get a HEAVY FINE for littering.

if Nigeria can install such laws and actually SEE to it that they are enforced, I'm sure the amount of filth would decrease

100% AGREE.



Very interesting thread though I almost barfed in my yogurt at Siena's last post.


tru talk though. Defecating etc shouldnt be done in public. I mean, these are grown people who should know better, illiterate or not.  They arent disabled in any way so they really have no excuse.

@ T Pain:  don't assume everyone you see peeing on the street, is an illiterate.

hollandis:
NORTHERNERS ARE THE DIRTIEST .YOU NEED TO GO TO KATSINA OR KANO ON A RAINY DAY

can you carry your tribalist sentiment to another thread?

Both Seun and the OP are right. The miscommunication here is that the thread title could be open to misinterpretation by daft people.


People should keep their trash inside their vehicles. Why would you open your car window to throw something out? Keep it in your car until you get to your destinaton.

And folks should stop peeing on the street plz. Privates should be kept private nah.



Its a well known fact that lagos and many other Nigerian cities are overcrowded. Thats why its majorly cities that have this problem of excessive trash, and not the villages. Short of the government declaring a state of emergency on the trash problem like Italy did, it would be hard to get people organized enough to handle the mountains of trash generated by overcrowding.

iceland:
You got it wrong!Am a good christain and I will never promote adultery.what I was really asking is this.Sin a times might turn out to save us from a grave danger.If the pastor had died in the plane crash he might be burning in hell right now.Who knows by now may be has repented.

what if the pastor had missed his flight because he wanted to murder someone.

would you still be glorifying his actions in this manner.

KunleOshob:
Is it only tithes? you forgot to mention regular offerings, special offerings, thanksgiving offerings, offerings for the needy and seed sowing. That is apart from the sales of merchandizng materials such as T-shirts, posters, stickers, mugs, books, daily guides e.t.c Also sales of "prayer / annointed materials" such as handkerchiefs, annointing oil and holy water Money is also charged for special prayers. oh boy the list is endless and the opportunities are limitless. Abeg make i rush go corporate affairs commision to go and register my own business  i mean church I would need investors  trustees in this profitable project any interested person can contact me on this page

seriously, is it any wonder Jesus threw those merchants out of the temple.

So much profiteering in religion.

@bigrovar: are you sure other OS don't also have the same conditions in their licensing agreements?

@ negro: I thought you said you're a Bini guy?

donchichi:
I hope i don't get mistaken as narrow minded but if your g/f refuses sex, there are people who giv it willingly for a small fee of course. Obviously you can't exercise restraint so maybe you should split from her and get someone who shares the same passion as you. There are numerous brothels around where you can douse your urges.

this isnt about sex.

This is about a gorilla masquerading as a human being.

olanajim:
Na wa o! Deepzone! You failed the first test of wisdom. Sorry!

Topup,
I hope you aint the poster of that statement. I pray not, 'because you would soon join deepzone.

Take a look at my words and analyse them again. Draw inspiration from them.

I wonder why deepzone enjoys vomiting negative words as if she has no vein connecting her mouth to her brain.

When you replied a harmless post by calling the poster SILLY, it either show the depth of your understanding or your just enjoy attacking people. You don't even know me!

Anyway, I am cool!

well, you were the one advertising that you have no problem.

se now you don get the problem?

mojojojo26:
my girlfriend is startin 2 relly piss me off, sometimes when i make attemps to make love to her she refuses and comes up with excuses, to be honest i dnt think she has the right to refuse me sex nd it makes me really angry when she does this one time i nearly beat the shit out of her because of her refusin nd not givin a good anuff reson nd sometimes the way she refuses can be so annoyin, hlp me nairlanders what do u think i should do

oh you beat the shit out of her, did you?


hmmmm.

I hope you can understand how primitive you are?

keba:
una go kill person with laugther for this thread
as a matter of fact , i thot muslims don't do transplant
please correct me if i'm wrong

if Muslims dont do transplant, then why is the media telling lies on Mrs Yaradua?

In a polygamic situation, does for better for worse still apply?

I don't think so.

More like every man for himself and every woman for herself and her children.

Taking multiple vows with multiple partners invalidates them all, imo.



anyway, I hope he gets better. He should go to a proper hospital in the English speaking west, by the way. Nothing secret about his condition now.

naija women don suffer oh.

What if she even gives the kidney and his body still rejects it?

It does happen.

She'll be minus one kidney and the man and his family will regard her as the one kidney wife. Compared to all the other concubines with their own organs intact.

Queenisha:
his first wife is no longer with him.
her kidneys are offlimits to him

the other wives and girlfriends should be interviewed as well.

They shouldnt hang it all on one woman when there are many of them.


relatives too.

naijaking1:
The Saudi Arabians flock Mayo clinic like bees. So why should our president go to Saudi Arabia when the Saudis go to MN?

I wonder too oh.

Northern Nigerians flock to Saudi/the Middle east. Saudis flock to the US and the west.

Something's wrong with this picture.

Queenisha:
I'm not saying Mrs Yaradua was badly treated,I'm just saying you men should be on your best behaviour
You never know when your very ability to piss and excrete nyama nyama would depend on us
and if you're not well behaved,we'll simply say NO and no one can blame us

Isnt that why I was asking about the other wives and their own kidneys.

Even if na girlfriend.

No be all of them dey enjoy im money?

haba- is it by force to part with your kidney?

What about the other wife or wives- why can't they donate theirs?

Or brothers, sisters, relatives, etc?

And why must it be a wife's kidney they must use? Are they trying to kill the woman before her time? I'm sure they can find other donors if they keep looking.

Wishing him the best of luck however.

besides, the article may be exaggerating.

agaba123:
Actually I think it was the austrian woman that erected the statues. Guess I read that, not sure again.
If so, then you are right

she's the most popular Osun priestess and actually the only one known to most people.

I'm not sure if her portfolio is osun worship or African traditional art.
