The last time Ibos had Senate Presidency was through Obasanjo, it's also possible under Tinubu

The last time the shinning stars came out from the land of the rising sun was during Obasanjo tenure.

You all are celebrating Soludo, Madam Ekwesili and Okonjo Iweala

rainluv:
Mugu..so the old Bendel wasn't also referred to as the eastern region?

Know your history and stop embarrassing yourself, Old Bendel was never Eastern region, it was formally in Western region and later became Mid-West comprising of the present Edo and Delta states

tctrills:
I know you really don't know that there is no tribe called Delta. The word Delta is actually English.
Delta state was named after the Niger delta.
It consists of various tribes.
Hope this helps you.

Delta state was carved out of old Bendel state and not from Enugu, so your grammar here no enter

The last Olosho wey Atiku carry bin get Ogbanje.

Na only ogbanje spirit fit make person get this kind plenty problems

Yes

A man like Tinubu don't even have barbing saloon in the north, now he want the north to vote for him and some fools are thinking in such direction. Tinubu have all his investment in lagos, but today he wants the northern votes. It is even better to vote for peter Obi if you cannot vote for Atiku. Atleast Peter Obi have his investment in the north. Atiku have his investment in both south and northern parts of this country. Tinubu have nothing in the north.

Thank God northerners are more enlightened than you bigoted jingoist.

Buhari didn't own a cow farm in SW yet SW people voted him. What are you saying?

Ogbuefi2020:
You see your ignorance? That culture only applies to village property which was inherited from far back ancestors. Any property purchased in modern times is subject to will in accordance with new laws brought by westernization. See, no culture is more flexible and adaptive to change than igbos

This is just the point. Others are irrelevant.

Ogbuefi2020:
Bros, most west African cultures are patriarchal. I don't know how Igbos own is your problem

If you can be civil then I'll engage you.

Africa and world over has traditions and cultures that have outlived its time, such culture should be changed. One of it is the perception of Igbo culture not giving due right to a female child. Example is on farmland inheritance which none among Igbo on this thread has condemn.

Am not here to judge whether such practice is right or wrong, but just to ask what a female child thinks of that culture that deny her of her parents properties, how do you justify the success of a female child you denied of her right?

Ogbuefi2020:
What's your business with our inheritance culture? What has it got to do with the topic

This is a public forum where we gather to share ideas and learn. Turning it to a battleground by your types only shows true self

An that Oseni Rufai will ruin that media house

Ojiofor:
Says who?
Didn't you hear Peter Obi said he is making savings for his children in one of his interviews.He have one daughter and one son and a billonaire like him will leave a lot of inheritance to his daughter.
Does your married sisters live in your father's compound?
Do your culture share ancestral farmlands to their daughters who lives in her husband house?
Anyway respect my culture as I respect yours.Some of you are married to your cousins so she can be given a share of your farm lands and family compound because she is still lives within the family.In Igbo culture we do not marry our relatives even to 8,9 10 generation.

Yes my culture does that, and it appears you're like that same culture that limits the right of a female child on inheritance but only enjoy claiming a female child's glory you do not not respect

That's an individual thing, but talking about a general culture is what we are discussing here.

Yeah civilisation, religion, exposure and personal conviction can make one deviate from cultural norm.

Maybe a better point can convince me but not this one

Afonja Muslim pig.. you cap too much, why are you in pain? is one of your organ missing?

Do you trade in organ?

tctrills:
What tribe did she tell you she was from? So if your parents are Yoruba, do I need you to come out and make a speech telling the whole world you are Yoruba?
You guys always say absurd things.
So let me ask you, is Obafemi Awolowo a Yoruba man? Do you have a record of him claiming to be Yoruba?

You should have asked instead if Oritshajafor is a Yoruba man.

I think individual should be allowed to declare his or her identity rather than chosen one for them.

We you call Dele Momodu a Yoruba person?

Ogbuefi2020:
Confused afonja

Your brothers have been civil enough. We can argue and be frank but should not be unnecessarily tribal.

Ojiofor:
We still have more men in school way more than many regions in Nigeria that is a fact.
We believe and value our women and invest heavily on them.

Is there record to back this up, I think otherwise until I see reliable data

technicallyrich:
Derty coword that shitt and pooo in pots,plates and custard rubber.
No wonder your girls don't wash their pantt and smells everytime.
Just remember that theifnubuu will lose

You are only animal among the men on this thread, so sit down your butt and learn

Ojiofor:
Which social right is more than giving a girl child sound education?
Btw rich Igbomen buy properties for their daughters and 'will' properties to them too.
What women do not inherit is their father's compound in the village or family land farm lands, that is the inheritance of the male children as the daughters are supposed to get married and live in their husband houses where her children will inherit their father's family inheritance.In case she is unmarried she will live with her brothers in her father's compound.

This sums it up.

Do you remember Governors owns and issue CofO in Nigeria context, if that's applicable it mean your culture doesn't give a female child ownership right.

gidgiddy:
You seem to know Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala well? May be you can tell us her ethnic group then?

Stop missing ethnic group with dialect

kettykin:
Yes you have a lot of catching up to do, this woman served in Biafra her dad was also a Biafran soldier, how then will she be a Nigerian when the country splits

So also many Yoruba, the likes of Victor Banjo and some others like Soyinka who we're sympathetic to the cause of Biafra, will that make you accept Soyinka to be your President?

Fighting in a war is the least criteria in determining indigenous people, your argument here is poor

tctrills:
Oga there are many tribes in Delta and Igbo is one of the 3 biggest.

Let Iweala claim Igbo and not you assigning tribe to innocent woman, that's the greatest insult to a fellow human

Ojiofor:
In which history book did you read that?
Girl child education is highest in Igboland more than any other region.If we don't believe in our women would we send them to school?
Instead of sending them to school we have married them off at the age of 12 years like your tribes men does.

No, I think the reason why you think Igbo women are more in school is because more men chose trade so early.

Because there are more dropout of male child in SE doesn't translate to culture of empowering women

Am talking about inheritance and social right

Greatkenny2:
Please don’t stop crying

As your family members dey cry of the horror from SimonEkpa

Ojiofor:
Yeah she is indeed Deltan by state of origin.
Abian through marriage and Igbo by tribe.

But Igbo tradition doesn't recognise women gender, or has the practise changed?

toneroforever:
She is an Igbo woman. Delta is her state though

What made her Igbo woman?

By the time you get your Biafria of 5SE states, will you borrow Iweala to come and be your president?

Because Brazilians speak Yoruba doesn't mean Salvado will become president in Yoruba Nation

Deltan

This was the years of abundance for the IPOBidients, but they started yelling and gnashing their teeth the moment the feeding bottle was removed from their gluttonous mouth

Don't loud it

They would start to wail, the wailing wailers of Nairaland
