His Excellency Dr Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan deserves the Noble Peace Prize of 2015. My position is premise on the fact that he took a decision that averted a potential civil crisis in the country. It was not just about concession of defeat, it was actually about concession of defeat that averted potential crisis. We can all recall the event of 2011 and how President Buhari who was opposition candidate refused to accept defeat nor calm nerves when the crisis erupted. If GEJ had insisted on contesting the 2015 result, all hell would have been let loosed by the ever-ready to kill Sai Buharists up north and the bittered pro-Jonathans in the Niger Delta. Who would have suffered? The poor masses!

So in all fairness, Nigerians must jettison partisanship and support the candidacy of Goodluck Jonathan.

So to speak the truth is to be a hater?How many people speak hausa compare to Swahili?Wiith Tanzania(40millions) and Kenya(36 millions) you already have ways more people speaking Swahili than hausa.Then add Drc,uganda,zambia,comores.....etc...Don't forget that 3 out of 4 Somalis speak Swahili and a lot of Ethiopians as well.Beauty wise there is no contest between Swahili and hausa.Swahili wins hand down!

Why do nairalanders pay so much attention on Igbos? Whats so special about them? They are just like.the rest of.the nigerian population.

Fulaman198:
Ladies,

As much as i'm enjoying both of you going back and forth with your great debate, don't you both have more important things to be doing like putting your feet on Fulaman's face (oops I mistype ).

But in any case, you both have great opinions and I think that in essence you are both trying to say the same thing though in different ways.

Ihuomadinihu:
Lol,if you followed my arguments you would have realized that i agreed that Timbuktu was a Southern Saharan city. That has been concluded. You were probably hanging onto other issues which am not aware of. After that we argued about the definition of Black and Negro in Africa. You didn't pick any of these? Lastly,we argued about the classification of 'blacks' in Africa which is plain to a layman. Why are you drawing me to a fresh ridiculous argument?
When you argue with people,learn how to pick up vibes and responses of your co debators.

Ihuomadinihu:
Geographical terms doesn't negate the fact that both regions are populated by people that have distinct features. Am so done with this argument!

Ihuomadinihu:
She brought in the white element,so lecture her.

Ihuomadinihu:
Saharan is Negriod/Berber/Tuareg and Arabic Influenced. Africa may be diverse but that doesn't mean i see myself related Khoisans or Berbers of the Sahara. *different classification of blacks.

Ihuomadinihu:
Those civilizations are not considered 'black' African civilization. They are more related to North African and Berber populations racially. You don't only need to redefine Subsaharan but also the word Negro.

Fulaman198:
Exactly also many people make the erroneous claim that Berbers are "white". I believe the true Berbers (like the Tuaregs, Siwa, Gourara whom actually practise Berber culture and speak the Berber language) are black but a different "kind" of black.

Funjosh:
But we can't just abandon the blacks in the sahara desert just because they are located above the sub-saharan region mainly dominated by blacks.

Ihuomadinihu:
The Black Africans of Congo and Yorubaland are different from the blacks of most parts of Niger and Chad. That is a fact! I don't care about your defintion of Black Africa but we are dealing with different types of black. No,it doesn't have to only Subsaharan before we can call it an African civilization but i will not pretend not to notice the difference in both geographical regions.
In simple terms, subsaharan is associated with groups of negriod extraction anything above it is associated with ''Arabian/Berber division of black Africa

Ihuomadinihu:
In that premise,it's not a subsaharan civilization. Do you see the point now?

macof:
Wow! This much bullshit from one person.

Now I'm a fake for condemning the atrocities of the fulani. I must insult igbos and blame them for all yoruba problems (even those caused by the fulani ) to prove that I'm genuinely a yoruba man

Sorry, a genuine yoruba person is not a slowpoke, coward, liar or slanderer to see someone killing his people and protect the same person to blame another person, igbos haven't caused 1/3 of the evil the fulani have done against yorubas in the last 200 years. You are the fake here that shouldn't be taken seriously. ..its apparent your issues with the Igbo is personally not a general Yoruba issue

From the middle belt to the yorubas in SW all of you that hide and shield the fulani all morons. . I wish your sisters and mothers get raped and hacked in the skull. .that will surely wake some of you up as it would then become personal

macof:
I guess members of the royal family( the Prince Tsola Emiko especially) don't even know their history
a chief states something contrary to the history and known tradition and they just accept? I don't think so

macof:
Lol Wulfruna you just know how to spot ojoro

Well we see that even politics now hides under the guise of tradition

Ioannes:
wow. But Borno state is very big o, shuuu!!!

macof:
I really sad thing. This is why the northern fulani monsters will continue to have the upper hand.
