Politics / Re: Ndigbo Wont Vote For ACN In Lagos by Zeruchi: 2:22pm On Jul 22, 2012 |
manny4life: If all Nigerians could go back to their hometowns and leave Lagos, Nigeria would be better for it. Right now everyone who can afford it abandons their home to head to Lagos while their hometowns a left to rot. Lagos for all its bitchin.g about overcrowding benefits from this situation. If Nigeria is facing a brain drain overall, internally Nigeria is facing a brain drain as well with everyone migrating to Lagos. The only thing people do is build a house back in their hometown and stay put in Lagos. Who is left back home to challenge the theives that masquerade as politicians or to put pressure on officials to provide basic services to the people. If for one year Lagos refused people from other regions, when you come back Nigeria will not be the same Nigeria from memory. People rise up to the challenges when faced with adversity, but when they are given an easy out they will take it. |

AdeCisco: Ndigbos are minorities everywhere even in their own states. Why can't they go and vote and develop their country and leave Lagos alone with its beloved ACM. Ndigbo kor!! Oun do obo ni mshewwww. Awon ti won ti so nu tipe. Please if you truly care about the welfare of the Igbo people you will send them back to the SE ASAP. That tough love might be the catalyst for great change in the SE. If you have to confront your problems head on you learn how to deal with them and overcome them |

shymmex: Then do the honors by chasing them out really I can't understand why you want to keep "useless" people around you. Send them packing You can't because even in your heart of hearts you know Lagos functions by the shear fact it relies on the collective effort of all Nigerians from all regions. So I'm calling your bluff chase everyone out8) Nigeria will see the net gain in every region by the end of one year. |

Danka7777: I don't know, in my mind when you all live a country as long as you contribute positively to the community, pay your taxes, and are a legal resident of that nation you have every right to live anywhere and everywhere and the right to contest for any position under the sun. Maybe you should direct your question to the Lagos for the SW only committe who thinks if you are not from Lagos and are not from x ethnicity you should shut the hell up and be grateful that they allowed you the privilege to live and work in your own country. Nigeria I hail thee |

cheddarking: Everyone believes they are telling the truth let me tell my own. In some people's minds they think making Lagos indigenes only will be to the detriment of others but actually Nigeria would benefit by and large. |

shymmex: [/s] Yes ignore the truth that Lagos the king of Nigeria is the pauper of Africa lmao even tiny Gabon has cities worth looking at. Go to skyscraper city and seem how big mighty Lagos is mocked for its gaudiness. Even blessed Abuja doesn't fair better. Tell me how is it that old a.s.s Nairobi built mostly in the 70's is more modern in appearance than Lagos and Abuja? Yes all hail the mighty substandard Lagos Dear learn how to read I never mentioned 10 anything, O mentioned the fact that SW people seem to have Lagos on the brain more so than the non-indigenes lol does Ogun and Oyo no longer have cities worth mentioning? Some of you guys were not even born there and Stan hard as hell for that place, are things that bad that nowhere in the SW is worth mentioning? Who cares about empires, the same Europeans who had kings and queens dropped them for republican systems long after people in the SE figured out that it's the best way to go lol. For all your empires you have nothing to point to but Lagos how sad... The irony is that you guys think that chasing everyone out of Lagos would be a bad thing, if anything you would be doing large swaths of Nigeria a favor. If you have no choice but to stay in your hometown and do whatever it takes to make it better instead of running away, you benefit in the long run. If anything Lagos who like the US benefits from a brain drain from other places will suffer the most. So please chase out all non indigenes of Lagos, you would be doing a great service for the nation 1 Like |

shymmex: First of all who told you I was Igbo...lol just because I said Lagos ain't sh1t don't mean I'm Igbo. Second, Lagos like crap because of the God awful buildings that pass for Nigerian architecture. Even if ever slum was removed the city would still look garish because homes constructed from Lego blocks is the standard. Third, why is it that the only city worth mentioning in the SW is Lagos? I'm not familiar with the North but I can name you at least 5 northern cities and towns, same for the SE and SS. Ask me about the SW and Lagos is pretty much it because that's all you guys talk about. Is all of the SW concentrated in an area known as Lagos? It the SW on comprised of Lagos? Damn as crappy as Aba is it still gets a mention is Lagos the pinnacle of the SW? The last bastion of Yoruba civilization? Jesus some of you guys are not even from Lagos but talk as though you were birthed on the Lekki Expressway. No some Nigerians are idiots and like violence when they think it's a big deal to tolerate people who share the same country as you. Well done you have caught up to 19th century concepts another century more and you might get to where the rest of the world was in the 20th century in 2100 2 Likes |

nagoma: What a disgusting thing to say. God I wonder for some of you folks. After the blasé attitude towards rape the insinuation that Fulani men are gods gift to the world like you guys don't have some ugly fuglies in your group is just icing on the cake.

Politics / Re: Fulani Herdsmen Attack Enugu Community by Zeruchi: 10:45pm On Jul 18, 2012 |
namfav: Do you support the killing of innocent men, women, and children all because they wanted to protect what they worked hard for what they produced? Because if you are honest you would admit that going on to private property and destroying someone's crops is a crime in most societies. In the US a farmer would have total justification for immobilizing a tresspasser, and that is the "evil west". Does that mean I support the killing of the Fulani cattle herders? No, but they are as guilty as the people who attacked them. Respect people's property and 9 times out of 10 most people will leave you alone. Do the Fulani ask farmers for permission to graze? Or apologize when their cattle mistakenly eat someone's crops? Try to make ammends? It's amazing how if you appologize for an error on your part people will be more willing to forgive and work with you. If you think it's going to work in reverse where you eat a person's crops and then they are willing to negotiate you are not being serious. You keep saying that people attack the Fulani herders before they even destroy farmer's crops, but do you honestly think with the way things are going that people will not start to treat Fulani that way in their community? Instead of waiting for them to destroy their crops people will chase them out or even kill them, because that's what the Fulani are becoming known for (destroying property). 1 Like |

odumchi: @ Zeruchi and Crayola Crayola1 and I are the same lol spambot got me for posting too much at one time. Actually in one of the post I put up the author of the blog mentions the fact that the script is still used by secret societies and that he will do his best to avoid those scripts. Also like you said Nsibiri is not as handy so the guy is developing a shorthand called Akagu which is simplied characters more practical for everyday use. I just haven't gotten around to posting that part yet. Akagu is also similar to Katana (Japanese script) that is used for foreign words. I'll post that stuff soon enough |

Malawian: @ Dudu, when you dig up yoruba script, i will hail you. Your problem probably is that your claims that yorubas are the most literate tribe in the country is under threat by this script. FYI, such scripts have been found in virginia usa and is said to have been from igbo slaves brought there. Lemme tell you what you are dreading to hear; while igbos were already reading and writting from antiquity, your tribe was busy trying to figure out how to cook Yoruba stop hatting igbos and humble yourselves to learn from us cos we are special people! I think it was the comparison to Egyptian script that got to him No Igbo people did not come from Egypt Nts_Negro, but it is interesting to note the similarities in the script which some academic did Go easy, Its not that serious I don't know why he got upset but no need to play the tribal game |

shymmex: I hold you to that Well it served them well, it was the last part of Nigeria to be under British rule and the scene of one of the longest campaigns by the British to assert their complete dominance (31 years to be exact8)) "One can argue" is the point of contention, I've seen photos of Igbo women with mow-hawk hairstyles in the very distant past, but the hairstyle is considered a western so which came first In addition to an Igbo name, its common to have an Igbo first or Middle name and an English name I've met Yoruba people with the same, other etnicities around the world do the same. So I'm going to need some more evidence |
Culture / Re: Between Igbo And Hausa Which Is Easier To Learn? by Zeruchi: 7:49pm On Jun 26, 2012 |
shymmex: Interesting debate so far... Can we have an example of this Western behavior? An example I can hold on to? Because right now I'm trying to build a point on a vague concept of "alleged westerness" when no one has said what it is that constitutes Westerness? Speaking English? And though this is a different argument all together, are you not among the folks who claim the Igbo had no culture or civilization Lol I do remember some of the things you guys say in passing even if you don't. |

Fulaman198: Once again name a ceremony by Fulani people that is not tied to Islamic religion, here I'll even give you one for Igbo people. Despite being Christian, the New Yam festival is held along with the masquerades for the Gods who bless the people with a good harvest. The outfits are similar to the ones wore centuries ago and the "Gods" are being celebrated. Tell us what makes one African ? Pagan9JA begs to differ with you on your assertions though |
Culture / Re: Between Igbo And Hausa Which Is Easier To Learn? by Zeruchi: 6:59pm On Jun 26, 2012 |
Fulaman198: No I'm repeating what you said, maybe its the context you are using that is poor My friend we live in global economy tradition can only carry one so far, and Indians and Chinese seek out education even more than Nigerians are they too Western as well? And they will celebrate when they get that degree too, because not every person has the talent to become an engineer, lawyer. or doctor. So what exactly do you want them to learn? African studies only? And only in a Nigerian institution of education? Well I guess Igbo people will just have to die off the face of the Earth en-mass because traditionally the celebration of and individual achievements is part and parcel of the culture. What you see as bragging is acknowledgement that this person worked their behind off to get where they are, it wasn't luck, magic, or godfatherism that got them there. No, but those things mean I'll have a much easier trip to the grave than most. Money is not everything, but you do need it. Well Igbo people are not the only Nigerians and not the only ones that flaunt their wealth. An expensive store in the UK recently put up signs in Hausa because Hausa customers spend a lot in their store, are they flaunting their wealth too much too? Getting a Ph.D means you have gone farther than most which is an accomplishment. Well when Nigeria the country you live in decides that English should not be its official language then come back to me. Its the Nigerian government that wants Nigerians to be fluent in English not Igbo people. So you think Nigerians being uneducated will solve Nigeria's problems? The problem is that the leaders of Nigeria fall into two groups: bumbling idiots who never saw the four walls of the school house and literate idiots who think that all there is to being educated is to get a degree Education is not inherently bad, and in a world where people of African descent are consider the runt of the litter its the only thing that gives us equal footing. |

Fulaman198: I'm not linking anything because its clear you are biased I'm talking in general and you are being very specific. But anyway there are hundreds of videos of Igbo dances and ceremonies, which is what I'm referring to. Flavour who is on nearly every artist track these days sings majority Igbo I know you don't care, because then you would have to admit to being biased Now Igbo are not humble too? What next Igbo people only take showers every 3 years? Personally, if I have a Ph.D I will let people know, I worked my behind off for over a decade and not want people to know? What nonsense. I guess professionals in America/India/Japan/China/etc are not humble because they have clearly stated on their business cards and nametags their level of education My doctor should remove his degree from his walls and remove the MD from his name plate Well I believe in Islam one is not to judge his fellow man but you must have missed that lesson And that's good for them, if I work hard for something I want the world to know especially the people (like you) who thought I would never amount to anything. I think is much better than flaunting your wealth while others are dirt poor like Northern Nigerian elite and politicians are fond to do (and we know many of them did not work for it) |
