Stop making this argument. You are comparing tribes that cannot fill up one state with those who filled up an entire region and still have significant numbers in the South South. In fact, you will rarely see any Catholic parish in Nigeria without Igbo people.

Who told you those Tribes can't fill a State.

The TIVs are the 5th largest tribe in Nigeria, behind the Ijaws.

In Benue State, they have 14 LG areas to themselves.

Stop Denigrating other Pple other Tribes.😏😕

Everywhere seems so DRAB and DULL .

*No Harmattan.
*No Christmas Children's parties.
*No Entertainment shows for Teenagers.
*No Exchange of Food between Neighbours.
*Pple hardly visiting their Friends and Relatives, to eat Rice and Watch movies

*And the Heavy Rains that got Everywhere wet and some places flooded.

This 2025 Christmas is the DULLEST I have seen since I was born.

Please, Nairalanders, Am I wrong?
How was the celebration in your area?🤔

SmartPolician:
It's understandable. Wikipedia stats show that 70% of Nigerian Catholics are Igbos. It should be more than that. The church is very popular among Igbos.

Not up to 70% percent, my brother.

Maybe 50 or 45%.

The Idomas, Tivs and particularly the Esan Pple of Edo central have a Huge Catholic population.

Lawalemi:
Mine

This meat looks like Tiko which Urhobo Pple uses to eat Owho soup.

Or OverDried Donkey meat.

We4all:
What stops you from creating your own site and improving it the way you want? The owner has done well by coming up with an awesome forum. Show us your own initiative and stop criticising others.

He is Right.

Membership/followership of this Nairaland site has Declined seriously.

Tinibu's Bad Government (which has affected many financially) + Lack of Creativity/Unwholesome attitude of the Mods have driven many members away.

Angelfrost:
Lol... This thread go dry die!

Lol
When you talk about Tinibu/ APC bad govt, some peeps will be getting paranoid.😏

My side, the Christmas looks like a Midweek/ School day.

No Loud Musics, no Xmas jingles, no children walking around in Fancy, colourful clothes and shoes.

Anither563:
I don't think he has an ailment. It's just the pressures of politics and public service. With time, everyone will see the truth in my statement that Wike is the best Governor in Nigeria's history. I wish him well.

Pressure ke.😏

Its his Desire of always wanting to Inflict Pain on others.😕

His love for WICKEDNESS is consuming him gradually.

brain54:
I don't know if your concern is genuine or not o...


But Some people on this thread are definitely making mockery...!

Stop your Emotional Defence.😏

Nobody ages like how Wike has aged.

How can one Transform so horribly in a span of 4,5 yrs?

The Man's Wickedness, Restlessness and Penchant for Planning Evil schemes is eating him up.

The way PDP as a party crumbled is something that should be studied like a university course.

dominion001:
Osihmen complains too much. He is not the only one in the field, coach should talk to him.

Na Pride nah.

Dat's why no Major European Club e.g Real Madrid, Arsenal, Barca, etc will buy him.

He has BAD Character issues.

OriOko88:
The stupidest arguments are always found in viewing centres. People are fighting at the viewing centre here over argument on who's richer between Tinubu and Ronaldo.

Nigerians are really special breed.

How can anyone compare Ronaldo to Tinibu

Without Stealing or OverTaxing citizens, Tinubu na Poor man.

My Papa even get Money pass am.

For Christmas, should be Roasted Dog meat with Calabar Palm wine.

Rice na for SMALL CHILDREN.

owobokiri:
Which one you be sef!? Data Boy, errand boy, abi BOT

Lol
The Akpobome boy is a
Nairaland 24hrs Roaming, Active Spirit.

stuffs2002:
Where were people like you when Jonathan was busy destroying the South West in his administration.
I can't blame south west for kicking out someone who was hellbent on destroying their region.

How did Jonathan destroy South West region

The way you Pple tell CHEAP LIES ehn.

Its like most of you underestimate the DESTRUCTIONS and CALAMITY the Tinibu/ApC govt has heaped on Nigeria.

I support this OP.

Seun na AkaGum.

He should free his palms and do Giveaway for Nairaland peeps.

This OP wants to know the Old Papas and GenZs in this forum.

If PETER OBI does not have Anything, countless threads would not be created about him everyday on Nairaland. 🙄

OP, when the Election comes and he decides to contest, you will see what he has.🙂

lauzun:
As a Man Utd fan, that Januzaj own pain me eh. He was supposed to be the next Giggs. Had the talent but the mentality wasn't there.

Januzaj was unfortunate to play under Loius Van gaal era.

If he played under Sir Alex Fergusson, he would have become a World class player.

Some players are unfortunate to be brought into a team going through a Crisis period and it kills their career.

FaAbData:
There was this guy about 11-13 years ago or so, he was so good that people were predicting hell even do more than Messi.

I can't recall his country, seems they won a junior world cup that year. Dude was so good and hyoed

Likely Geovanni Dos Santos of Mexico.🤨

obrian888:
How can you forget Karibe Ojigwe,the midfielder who won the under 17 world cup with the likes of Kanu,Wilson Oruma and co,and later sign up for a German team,Bayern Leverkusen,but injury knock him out for a long time and eventually his career couldn't blossom.that was the man behind Nigerians Japan 93 victory

I remember Karibi Ojigwe.

I think he was one of the Boys Onigbinde invited for Japan/Korea 2002.

He was also part of the Bayer Leverkusen team that reached the UCL final in 2002.

Hezzyluv:
Just reproduction and nothing to add to the economy. Na to just dey breed menace into the society. Nigeria for don go far... without north.

Big LIE from you.😏

Without North, Nigeria would still remain where it is.

Our Leaders are very GREEDY and Avaricious.

Good example is Roads.

In the North, they award Contracts for Roads and Projects and It is done
But in the South, A rehabilitated road can collapse after 2 weeks.

Consequences of very Early Marriages and Illiteracy in the NORTH.

Some in the South are now following their footsteps.

In Sapele, Ughelli and Benin City, you will see 18yr old getting pregnant and giving birth to Kids for broke YAHOO boys.

And their parents will keep the Child at home waiting for when the Yahoo boy will finally pick.

Nigeria should sit at home Plz.

Trying to use BojuBoju to go World Cup.

Kalulu44:
Is it Victor Brown you're talking about?

That should be him.🤨

He scored 5goals in the Tournament in 2001.

He was Red-hot striker.

In the 2002 world cup, Onigbinde overlooked him and took Opabunmi instead.

Opabunmi later went to the WC and was smiling Sheepishly when he saw David Beckham.

Palmercole:
Pablo Aimar....?
You sure say, you dey watch football so....?
Do you even watched Valencia back to back champions League final losses.
Remove Pablo Aimar from that list
He didn't disappoint.

Immediately i saw Pablo Aimar( the little magician) on the list, i know the OP na learner and can't be taken seriously. Maybe he thinks one must play for Barca or Madrid before he can be considered a legend in la liga]

The Talents of Pablo Aimar could have won him a Ballon'dor.

He was in same Talent levels as Kaka, Iniesta, De Bruyne, Fabregas and Modric.

But suddenly, he fizzled out.

ComingKing:
List without Robinho and Wright Phillips is a Gen_z prepared list. These names where speculated for follow popularity of Ronaldo Delima, Ronaldinho and the likes.

Robinho's career is not all that Bad.😏

In 2010 World Cup in South Africa, he was Brazil's best player.

As for Shaun Wright-Phillips, I do not think he was that Exceptional.
He was another Speedy Winger like Aaron Lennon and Walcott.😒

Kalulu44:
Where is Ansu Fati and Theo Walcott

Theo Walcott should NEVER be mentioned in a discussion like this.

Scored lots of Goals for Arsenal, won like 2,3 FA cups and also did well in the English National team.

saintopus:
1. Sinama Pongolle

2. Macauley Chrisantus

3. Bathelomeo Ogbechie

And finally one small size winger in 1998 World Cup. I think his name was Opabunmi, that guy was promising in that World Cup with chief as the coach.

Femi Opabunmi played in FIFA Under 17 world cup in 2001

And the next year, our Super eagles coach Festus Onigbinde took him to Korea/Japan WC bcus of Y0ruba connection.

NoahHadNoArk:
That was never his true age, so don’t put him in that category.



Who remembers Hatem Ben Arfa?!


Someone quote me with his photo

Yeah
Ben Arfa of Newcastle FC was a fantastic winger
But I don't think he was that exceptional like the ones mentioned.

Solofresh2:
You dey follow mumu gen z argue 😂

Many of you Guys LACK basic Comprehension Skills.

Dbanj and Psquare featured Foreign Artistes but Foreign Artistes never considered them good enough to be featured.

Wizkid is the First Artiste that Foreigners took note of as a real Talent and started Identifying with.

All the Rema, Omah Lay, BurnaBoy foreign Collabos and concerts success was facilitated by Wizkid's entry into the International Music market.
