Literature / Re: Two Nigerians Nominated For 2015 Caine Prize For African Writing by yibobasher2: 7:39pm On May 06, 2015 |
Logicalmind1: Sorry I misquote you, you said your mum is Delta-Igbo and that for sure doesn't make you a Delta-Igbo . My bad To your point, I will like to correct some mistakes. You said Yoruba hasn't produced more than 2 presidents and for that there is nothing to brag about. I will like to enlighten you that the pride of a tribe is not in the number of presidents it produced but rather in the number of prominent sons and daughters from such tribe. Take for example Kenya, the 2nd and 3rd largest tribe luhya and Luo has never produced a president since the country independence in 1963. However, the 2 tribes have produced prominent people. A good example is Barack Obama Snr, he was from Luo. And Luo people can rightly take pride in saying that their son became the first black president of USA. If you really care, I can mention tons of achievement from the yoruba nation. The other mistake is mentioning that the Igbos has produced two president/head of government in Nigeria just like the Yorubas. That's incorrect because the igbos have only one in Aguiyi Ironsi. Nnamdi Azikiwe wasn't the head of government, he was just a ceremonial president just like the queen is ceremonial in the UK. List of Nigeria past/present leaders from 1960 for your enlightenment are Tafawa Balewa Aguiyi Ironsi Yakubu Gowon Murtala Muhammed Olusegun Obasanjo Shehu Shagari Muhammadu Buhari Ibrahim Babangida Ernest Shonekan Sanni Abacha Abdul Salam Abubakar Olusegun Obasanjo Umaru Yar adua Goodluck Jonathan Muhammadu Buhari (elect) 2 Likes |

Logicalmind1: Like the way you came to say you are Delta igbo Talking about inferiority complex, the tribe that have the least in Nigeria is the Yoruba. We have everything working for us to be bragging about our superiority , but due to our nature of not being proud people we always keep quiet. 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Soyinkas Speech At Harvard. The Real Text by yibobasher2: 3:29pm On May 06, 2015 |
BushidoBlue: I'm really less concerned if prof actually said that or not. They fact still remain that the Yeebos have no unity among themselves, they are the only tribe wishing downfall for Nigeria despite living peacefully and making money in the country. History has shown that the Yeebos vote on their stomach has rightly said by who wrote the speech. If not, how would you explain the gburugburu himself Odimegwu Ojukwu losing presidential election in 2003 in eastern nigeria. He did not even win one state from eastern nigeria under an igbo party APGA. Who can the ibos trust if they can't trust this man. It may sound tribalistic, but the fact still remains that the ibos must learn how to co-exist peacefully with other tribes for them to be given due respect |

All I can see is that most of them that have their background from Nigeria went to Southwest universities. After some people will say they didn't benefit from Awolowo free education. |
