DOS mean nobody can access the site.

Hacking means the site can be accessed but with different content displayed by the hackers.

The ban is probably meant to have a wider implication, for those who have ears to hear.

The food is good but i think jamaican food is derived from indian cuisine, in a way. The curry and spices seem indian somewhat.

Kenyans also have marsala as a native dish i believe.

Anyway, you're right- indian food is tasty. I dont really eat much of it because i have to watch my food intake, but its very good.

I think there's something immoral about sitting in a far away place in relative safety while advising others to go and get themselves killed.

If oyibo or westerners are known for doing that with africans, then at least one can say they're outsiders therefore cant relate with the people. You who are part of the people (or at least used to be), what's your own excuse?

I wonder why diasporan nigerians are telling people to go out and protest.

Anyway, whoever does so should please admit its their own decision because nobody forced you.

Of course i assume the poster is simply trying to drive traffic or might actually be one of those multiple ids.

Dating one nigerian man does not mean you're dating all nigerian men.

Why do people keep opening these d.aft threads?

If more men havent responded its not because s.ex wasnt mentioned but because they dont know you from adam but you're calling them as if they do.

Jeez.

I think joseph and tosin.

Why dont you say what's really bugging you- namely that you feel hollow deep down.

This constant whining by atheists about church is so irritating.

You cant do ANYTHING without using church as your point of reference?

Didnt know he has a website.

But r.apists dont only target beautiful people oh.

Some types of beauty eg the one nigerians refer to as mammy water, tend to have the problems listed by the op.

What do they teach them in nigerian schools these days.

Yes, NTA is a federal parastatal.

odumchi:
How so?

an igbo monarch had an MOU with ilorin indigenes.

and didnt there use to be an igbo girl here who said her grandfather was a fulani man who became a naturalized igbo.

either that or her dad was half fulani [through his father] who was raised as 100% igbo.

the fulani side might have been from ilorin, just guessing.

and i think she was from enugu or anambra, cant remember.

^^that would also explain the presence of igbos in niger state from long ago.

we already know there was cultural exchange between enugu and ilorin in the 19th century.

in addition, large scale migration to the north of igboland, could have also gained momentum in that same century.

not saying it wasnt there before though. There are few records to go by.

[quote author=dem_people link=topic=841801.msg9922119#msg9922119 date=1326054751]There were many Igbos in Kano by the 1885s - early 1900s.[/quote]that's probably true.

Although he did not state the time his parents began coming to Igboland for trading, I guess it is within the railway era. How was it before the railways?

before the railways- not sure but i'd assume either by water or foot. There might have been lorries but its hard to tell unless further info is found.

^^you too dey find something sha.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-776050.0.html

but 80 years would mean he went there in 1932.

not too long ago, given the context.

many of them followed the railroad because of the job opportunities offered.

ie they settled in the north due to railroad jobs. However, it wasnt only igbos but the midwest through south south as well.

Going down memory lane, President Obasanjo recalled that "actual railway construction in Nigeria commenced in 1898 with a 32 km line of 1067mm gauge from Iddo (Lagos State) to Otta (Ogun State), which was further extended to Ibadan covering a total of 193 km in 1901. Railway construction continued incrementally in such manners between 1901-1910, Ibadan-Jebba (295 km); 1907-1911, Kano-Baro (562 km); 1909-1915, Jebba-Minna (252 km); 1914-1916, Port-Harcourt-Enugu (243 km); and 1922-1927, Kafanchan-Jos (179 km).

Do you know for sure if any Igbos lived in the North before the colonialists came?

i doubt there's any answer to this question unless you check by the individuals towns, not overall igbo.

^^thanks for the info.

it seems the baby has both a christian, muslim and a yoruba name.


not bad i suppose.

I had a cousin who despite her parents refusal married to a man somewhere in the Niger delta. unfortunately the man died and dear, it was better imagined when they dished out their funeral rites to be performed by my cousin, in fact, she ran away from the thick bush where she was left alone to prove her innocence to a neighboring town and from there back to my village

Jesu Kristi.

^^paranoia.

knock yourself out.

Zik was born in 1904 in Zungeru, meaning that his parents likely live in the North before 1900

true that.

Ego.

And you wonder why your men are running to others in droves.

^Enough of the attitude plz.

Makes you look foolish.

^Indeed.

Anyone with sentiments that conflict with his job, should consider finding another one.
