Sammy07:
Abeq leave am, is the whole yagba or whatever it called developed up to Ondo west local government?

We don't force people to join us.

Maybe his or their negative views is why they haven't become a governor in their co owned state.

Nonsense and rubbish

You are are comparing 5 LGA to one local government in Ondo? You are a clown. Download a map today and study.
You can't force me to accept Yoruba tag.
You don't need to.
Majority of Okun people agree they are Yoruba so if a few of us say we aren't, leave us alone.

Sammy07:
Whatever bro, If you Like.claim Ebira.
Who u help?

U don chop?
Happy New year

myobjective:
I think you have a serious inferiority complex.
How would anyone make me feel less 0f my self or disassociate myself from my ethnicity?

I'm of Ikare and Ilorin origin, I speak Ikare dialect and I have had uneducated Yorubas from Oyo and other places try to ridicule me when I speak in Ikare dialect, I don't get offended I only lecture them that Ikare dialect is closer to proto Yoruba than even the Oyo dialect.

Being from Akoko makes it easier to understand Kaba-Okun dialects because we are both eastern Yoruba speakers. In Ondo, Ekiti, Kwara and Osun state no one will mistaken Okun people has Egbira or Igala. They know and acknowledge that they are Yorubas.

You failed with your psycho analysis, I have no inferiority complex.
And to your second paragraph, they don't know. They don't know anything.
They are culturally and historically dumb.

MrEgghead:
Pls, go and create your pharmacy thread and stop disturbing our peace with pharmacy this, pharmacy that here. This is strictly for medical students.

You are a very stupid individual and I'm sure you know it.
Your eyes go soon clear na, Shey you dey final year.

MrEgghead:
Thank you brother. Some people are suffering from inferiority complex,hence, their desire to discourage others. When I see posts like that I scroll because I know those who really believe in themselves wouldn't be dettered.

I know you must talk. Mr Inferiority complex. Hope you're through with Uniben?

AkalaJ:
@yunqdady: I've always held the view that anyone is free to be whoever he chooses to be. Your case is rather unfortunate because your obvious anger stems from firsthand experiences you had during several encounters with SW-based Yorubas. You're only human, therefore I cannot fault your reaction to these unwarranted/unpleasant experiences from your supposed kinsmen.

Their attitude towards you was borne out of sheer ignorance. Let's just say Nigeria happened to all of us; we're all victims of the geographical fraud that previous administrations perpetrated on our race to balkanize, divide, and engender this exact attitudes towards one another.

However, in spite of all of that, I would still urge you to sheathe your sword out of maturity. You have more to gain as a component of the larger yoruba family than as an ethnic minority (there's power in numbers). There may well come a time when the geographical aberration/anomaly that birthed this problem would be redressed once and for all. Until then, all the best.

I just wanted to be controversial.
All I said were the truth though, I don't even think about all those tribal issues. What's my business? If they like, they should burn the country. Me that I'm processing visa and citizenship of another country.
Ko kan aye mhen

Sammy07:
You're not.Yoruba so what are you? Where do you come from? What is the name of ur king?

I double dare you to interpret Adeyemi in Okun language

Nothing like Okun language. Olodo

Sammy07:
He's stupid who force am?

Mtcheeew. So because some just downgrade him it means anything?

He probably never heard that in the past Ondo and Ijebu don't marry. If not things that have changed.

Mtcheeew. He should interpret their names in Okun dialect and not Oyo Yoruba

Or never listen to Yoruba music, Culture, food and studies

Nonsense.
Even the Ijebu or Egba that should be doing this no do am.
Mtcheeew

I will flog you if you don't stop quoting me. Nonsense

Sammy07:


Nonsense, bear whatever you want to bear.

No be you wan join South West? We forced you?

Call yourself egbira self, who cares

You don't matter. Omo ale

Wow, why do twins share so much bond?

ariesbull:
Me i am not Yorùbá but I find it hard to even differentiate itshekiri and Yoruba or Ilaje and Yoruba

But if Okun say they aren't yoruba. So be it. They shouid be respected

Are they members of odua in Okun the way we have Ọhaneze in Anioma and ikwerre

Yea, there are Oodua association
In fact, Okun is more Yoruba than some tribes in South West but those Yoruba ignoramus believe we aren't part of them due to geographical location. Many of them do not even know about anything called Okun.
It's ignorance on their part.
We have Obas, OPC, Oodua whatever whatever, cultural traditions same, ifa, osanyin, everything, dress, language all points to Yoruba.
Majority accepts being called Yoruba. Many do not even know about all these divisions until they leave the Okun land and see that many SW people don't recognise them.
Imagine all your life you have believed you are Yoruba, of course you are, but getting into the midst of the core Yoruba people, they deride you and call you fake Yoruba, agatu, aboki etc how would you feel?
We actually don't have to claim Yoruba to feel whole, we have the okun/yagba identity and its solid.
What should happen is education of the young ones about Okun people.
The elderly Yorubas, let's say 60years and above know but to the Young ones, life start and end in their local huts, any one outside is a stranger.
My cousin had a baby for an Oyo man, till today, the teenager is seen as an outcast just cos he's partly from Kogi yet he's a Okun part.
You can imagine.
Same way many Anambra sees Ebonyi people as not part of them.
It's sick!

ariesbull:
You are right. Seun is from Okun, she is my great babe then and she said she isn't yoruba but I told her that he name is... She said in clear terms she is Okun.

There is also this babe at ilupeju... She works with insurance firm.. Kemi is her name and she said that she isn't yoruba but ọkụn


I have also seen where yoruba deride ondo people calling them Omo Ibo yoruba that they aren't pure yoruba also

You get it.
I remember then, one Kabba lady in class, we almost fought, I told her she's Yoruba, she said no she's not. That her father told her she's Kabba/Okun and not Yoruba.
It was later on I understood her stand. The father must have been embarrassed before hence his stance.
It's just like Black Americans vs African Migrants in the US. That sort of beef.
When it's time for politics, they suddenly remember you are Yoruba but aside that, they insult and quote stupid history.
Even Ondo people sef, those Osun/Oyo people don't regard them.
Very tribalistic people.


I'm typing out of anger. But it's funny you people calling me impostor.
Don't worry, majority of Okun people accept being called Yoruba but few of us that have tasted tribalism prefer to choose our own identity as Okun/Yagba as the case may be.

acidosis, erokun sir, what's your take, I learnt you are from Isanlu. Do you see yourself as Yoruba or Okun?

walefresh3:
oga keep shot... If u are a Yoruba person u wont talked like dis ? You can hardly differentiate between ondo Yoruba and okun Yoruba... So who are the people discriminating you... Don't ever call yourself a Yoruba person with dis kind of attitude...

And go tell your baba ni le to keep shot. Omo ale

walefresh3:
oga keep shot... If u are a Yoruba person u wont talked like dis ? You can hardly differentiate between ondo Yoruba and okun Yoruba... So who are the people discriminating you... Don't ever call yourself a Yoruba person with dis kind of attitude...

I'm Okun and not Yoruba ok.
Leave Ondo and Ekiti people out of this, those ones not even all o, regards us cos we are neighbours.
One stupid Ogun boy would always refuse to speak Yoruba to me but English and sign language cos to him, I'm not part of them.
I will be speaking correct central Yoruba, uncle will be replying with English and sign language while calling me Egbira. And u want me to associate myself?
But those Oyo and Osun ehn, very very stupid set of people. One boy living in a hut in one abule IN Osun will open mouth to call you names that you are not part of them, so why should you form attache by force?

Those VO read this thread. I think it's good to be mindful of what we type. Just a general advice. Una fit dey use broken yan some

ariesbull:
You are right... I know many Okun that will not like to be called yoruba just like the Ilaje, the Akoko and even some Ijebu... They don't like the tag yoruba

Any Okun person that claims Yoruba has not met with a Yoruba person from South West before.
Maybe such Okun person lives in the north or lives in Okun region or lives where yoruba people are not present.
Yoruba people will be the first to tell you you aren't part of them. But call you agatu, tapa, Ebira or abokiii. It is due to ignorance because majority of Yoruba people don't travel. And they are very tribalistic. Even their fellow people IN South West, they show tribalism, how much more you that is outside their region.
Nonsense.
Only the educated and INFORMED SW person will agree to Okun being called Yoruba.
I spent 17years in my little town here in Kogi West, and I always call myself Yoruba.
When I gained admission into a university in SW, I stopped.
I was made to feel inferior. My Yoruba accent and some mispronounced Yoruba words( imagine an Ijebu or Ilaje speaking Yoruba with their own accent) always make me stand out and I was laughed at. So why should I still claim to be who I was told I wasn't?
Although, I blended after a semester but that experience is enough to deny.
Yoruba people need history and geography lessons, too bad and poor!
Imagine someone living in face me and face you having guts to look down on you living well all because he's "proper Oyo".
Thunder faya them. Nonsense

babtoundey:
I served in Lokoja and I never for a second met an Okun person that believes he is not Yoruba. Such thought is difficult and impossible to conceive. What differentiates the Okun Yoruba in Kogi State from the Yorubas in the South West is the geographical location. They speak Yoruba, have Yoruba culture and have in place Yoruba traditional system of government. In fact, they are from Ile-Ife like every other ancient Yoruba Settlements.

An Okun person can relate with you the central Yoruba language while he/she still maintains his distinct Okun dialect. And when he speaks his/her Okun dialect, a Yoruba person from Lagos, Oyo, Osun or Ogun might not be able to grab the meaning of his utterances word for word but he doesn't need a seer to know the language being spoken is nothing but Yoruba and that the person speaking it is of Ondo/Ekiti stock.

The difference is the case with Ogori people. Most of the Ogori people in Kogi state bear Yoruba names. They have culture similar to that of the Yoruba and I even had some parts of them journeyed to their present location from Ile-Ife, the cradle of all Yoruba race. However, Ogori people and their culture have evolved into a distinct ethnic groups. The language is a merger of Yoruba and Ebira. They only share some identities with the Yoruba they are Ogori , a tribe absolutely independent of Yoruba.

Ignorant yoruba people that have never stepped out of their brown root huts in their villages said we are not yoruba. Therefore we can't force ourselves to be what we are not. . We are Okun. We are not Yoruba. Nonsense

sirwilly5:
You know nothing of the Yoruba's in Kogi. Their language is total different with little similarity to the Yoruba's of the south west.
The Kabba people speak okun while the Amoro people speak yagba.
Same thing with the Igbo in rivers and delta.
Am from Kaduna pls but a constant traveller.
Thank you

You are wrong. There's nothing like Okun language. Okun identity is just an artificial construct. Okun means strength, and it's a form of greeting here. So they call us all Okun. Well, no problem with that but each town have their distinct(Okun) language.
Kabba speaks Owe. Yagba people will struggle to understand this. Northern Ekiti people understand this though.
I don't know what Ijumu people speak, they share boundaries with Ondo.
The remaining 3 local government areas speak Yagba, boundaries with Ekiti/Kwara .
Even yagba sef is not a single language cos every town in the 3 Yagba LGA has their own slightly different language but the beauty is that you can understand one another if you are from one part.
Just like how Lagos pidgin is different from Benin or warri pidgin but still same pidgin.
Same as Yagba.

Isn't it great how people talk about know-it-all parents forgetting that the fool you know today will someday become someone's parent?....and the recycle of mediocrity continues.

Always talking trash as usual

Ayanwukoma:
The thing that upsets me more is when we start narrating our experiences of been dealt with toxic parenting from our fathers some people will be saying, we were products of manipulations of our mom. but that's a lie... they just don't know our pains.

Here are the attributes of my father, don't know if it's redpill or not.

1) My father swear for us at any slightest provocation (he uses word like, YOU GO DIE, YOU GO USE YOUR MOUTH RUB GROUND, WITCH and so much more) imagine as a kid growing up till this day and this man still uses same languages on us his children.

2) HE'S CUNNY IN NATURE TOWARDS US HIS FAMILY.

You don't dare have an issue with a neighbor in the presence of my dad which he's aware of, because the next morning he be sitting with that same neighbor and talk ill about you in your presence ( how many times my mom has quarrelled with people because of him...but before we know it, him and them have reconciled. my mom would be the bad person in the town)

3) IS WITCH A GOOD NAME TO CALL YOUR CHILD?

This man has called us witch to the extent the whole area is looking at us as one, he has literally made us look bad in the presence of people. compare us with other people.
he has spoiled us with his bad tongue. full area gossiping telling people their papa self dey call them witch...belike them don confess before.
just because of my father toxic tongue.

4) MY FATHER HOLDS HIS BROTHERS CHILDREN IN HIGHER REGARDS THAN US.

you need to see the way he's happy whenever they come around, especially when they give him money like 5k, 3k ... prayers uphon prayers on them.
as soon as they go he starts the curses on us.. I don't know he just don't want us to succeed or not.

DO I HATE MY FATHER? I hate him with every blood in my veins yes, how can I love someone that abuses us immediately he sees us eating his food, looking at us like we are wrecking him from day one.

Any small thing, COMOTH FOR MY HOUSE (you must hear that word)

honestly speaking I myself am in my mid 20s and with what I experience to this day it's affecting me in my life, you can never see me smile.
am always angry, even when am happy.
when I talk, my words are always hard.. except when I try to be nice sometimes.

I SWEAR ON MY LIFE, I REFUSED TO BE THE MAN MY FATHER IS, EVEN IN MY NEXT LIFE TO COME.

He might be psychotic

Kolawole2130:
We have been married for 3 years now. We stay in a self contained apartment. He tries as much as possible to pay his bills while I support him too with paying the bills.

Since we married, anytime I talk about childbearing he gets angry. Like he may not talk to me for days. I will be the one to come and beg him later. He says his not ready to start bearing kids that he wants to have enough money to take care of the kids. He says he doesnt want his children to suffer.

I am so pissed off, I am 32 now and he is 35 and he earns 100k while I earn 70k. Is that not enough to raise a family. Plus age is not on my side he doesnt look like he will be ready in a year time again. Am already getting tired and people around me are getting married. No body can even talk to him. His mind is made up already.

The last fight we had he said i can go and divorce him if i cannot wait till he is ready. He is busy reading for professional exam instead of him to be thinking of how to produce seed. Professional exam that will last another 2 years. His family can't even talk to him. Am just frustrated already.

He might have an issue which he doesn't want you to know.
Use your head.

Young042galaxy:
No university in Nigeria is cult free.
But since after Chimaroke tenure elapsed, cult activities reduced drastically in Esut.
Have you heard of cult related cases in Enugu for years now?
We are 102 in class now.
Esut pharmacy is doing well. They have graduated their 1st set, same with medlab SC.

Interesting.
102 seems much. Usually, unaccredited admit little so incase of necessity, only the few would be affected. But since Pharmacy and the rest got accredited later on, yours should not be different.

Help me find a young beautiful Muslim Nurse. I need a Nurse friend

Go study nursing yourself

Slimdan360:
I am a nursing student and I opened this thread as I could not find a thread where nursing students could hangout and share ideas and also where aspirants could get information from.
Graduate nurses are very much welcomed as we would love to learn from you

Look for online lectures like Nursing Lecture Room, etc. They are plenty. You can get them on Facebook. Download telegram too. Very important. Make good use of your search engines. You will find community of like minds. Don't joke with telegram

Young042galaxy:
I rep Enugu state university of science and technology.
DEPARTMENT OF NURSING SCIENCES 300L .
We are the pioneer set. It's not been easy as we are made to do virtually all the medical courses even those we don't need because we are still fighting for accreditation.
But I am glad did all those courses.
My question is.......
Are we going to be allowed to sit for council exam without NUC accreditation?

Pray for accreditation before you graduate. Once you get accreditation by NUC, Nursing council will come inspect for accreditation. If passed, you can then be allowed to index and subsequently sit NMCN exams.
How many are you guys in class?
Is ESUT now cult free?
How's the pharmacy? They started recently too.

A nurse cannot diagnose patients.

30naira:
No, not true. She isn't paying any debt. I am leaving Nigeria next month on similar arrangement. I have the visa and flight with accommodation paid for already by the NHS trust. The only condition attached is that I ll pay back only if I leave the job within 3 years.
Otherwise, I don't owe them. I have nearly half my class there, they are not repaying anything

Half your class? You must be Edo or Igbo

IPDGP:
m sister in-law Is working in a federal medical hospital and she has no been paid for the past 4months, please if u can help with the process make she too dey go UK

She's not interested. If she is, she will seek information. Even non nurses know everything about the process. She never ready
