Absolutely. I do no understand what is wrong with us Yorubas. Why are we very stupid, as in stupid?

Thanks for noticing how stupid you guys are. That is what we Igbos have been telling you since adam.

Let the fire consume them there in Lagos. Eko ti baje tele tele.

Besides making agriculture better, the other goal is to feed, not kill.

If you want to see those who kill, its here

As long as you depend on IITA scientists, then you depend on Igbos. We rock ,you suck.

Aigbofa:
Look my friend, you cannot use your hydroponic mumbojumbo to feed about 35 Million people with voracious appetite. Don't promise what you cannot deliver. If you are travelling to some far away planet and you need to grow your own food, I would say maybe.
But, Okoros will simply go bunkers if your hydropo doesn't deliever garri.

lol
Igbos will feed themselves using conventional agriculture+hydroponics+aeroponics+rack farming+other new technologies that innovators like me will see thru before the time they are needed (that is, after we have milked your land dry)lol

[/quote][quote author=vicenzo link=topic=586478.msg8191460#msg8191460 date=1303596994]ekpeye people have the stronger identity crisis than any other igbo tribe,i have never met an ekpeye person who would accept the igbo tag,the easiest way to get lynched is to tell them they are igbo,the least they can accept is igboid,the educated ones among them will easily tell you that igboid=ekpeye+igbo.I think their problem is inferiority complex.
I met one of them in a bank in okigwe,he was making a call,and he was speaking a language i was sure is igbo but i could only understand 3% of what he was saying,he was having problem with the bank security man who was insisting he should off his phone,out of curiousity i decided to check out his withdrawal booklet,i saw that his first name sounds non igbo but the surname was AGUIYI,when asked if he was igbo, the dude got so explosive and made it clear that he is ekpeye and cannot be igbo.
There is one of them here in nland who wil not hesitate to derail this thread if he sees bayelsa in this thread,bottomline,akwa ibom can be included but not bayelsa

I guess it depends on whom you meet. I know Ekpeye people who readily agree that they are Igbo.

^^^^
This thread is about agriculture. If you want Igbos in hard-core science, we still pass una there. It is only in babalawo[b]-ing[/b] that we cannot compete.

In the West, Igbos take charge
In the East Yorubas cannot take charge, why is that so?

Okigbo was a colossus while at IITA. The greatest agriculturalist produced by Nigeria.

Professor Bede N. Okigbo is the renowned agronomist and retired Director of  the World Agricultural Institute in Japan, former Director of the United Nations Institute for Agricultural Research in Africa, Accra, Ghana, and the former Deputy Director-General of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Ibadan, Nigeria. He is widely regarded as Africa’s leading Agricultural scientist.

No Yoruba, whether in Nigeria, Brazil, Togo, or Benin can match the bolded

Aigbofa:
Hydroponic ko, hydrochloric ni! You are a very amusing fellow.

You wait until we begin to feed you, both by our ''hydroponics innovation'' and by our scientists at your backyard (IITA)

Akobundu wrote the only book considered as the bible of weed science for the tropics. If you did not read that book, you had not studied weed science in college.lol

Ystranger:
.     .     .   like Emeagwali being the greatest scientist ever?

Ibo people and their loud mouth. If we check now, the guy might be nothing more than a janitor, yet he is proclaimed as the greatest weed scientist by his people.

Lonk on Akobundu, though quite old news.

http://www.croplifefoundation.org/Africa/News%20Conference/Akobundo%20-%20Weeds%20in%20Human%20Affairs%20in%20Sub-Saharan%20Africa.pdf

The man is now somewhere here in the US as a distinguished professor of weed science. Or he could be retired now, not sure.

Aigbofa:
If any iboman is waiting for your hydroponic nonsense, he will simply starve to death.

Ouchh. The realization that Yoruba feeding themselves will depend on Igbo scientists at IITA must have hurt. Pele. No be our fault.

So if you are depending on IITA to feed yourselves, you will most certainly be depending on an Igbo man

Abia state former governor and current gubernatorial contestant under PPA, Mr Chris Akomas, was a senior manager at IITA.
Dr Paul Ilona, Farm Manager
Dr Richardson Okechukwu, statistician

Among the Nigerian scientists at IITA Igbo ones have been running things

Apart from Prof Okigbo (the highest ranked Nigeria who ever worked at IITA)
there is also Prof Akobundu, greatest weed scientist from black Africa-former head of unit IITA
Prof Nweke, former head of unit IITA

Dr. Ude, etc etc (too many to count)

^^^^^
I am merely taking my pound of flesh for the insecurity your people exhibited here

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-652704.0.html

Your people there are just janitors and gatemen. lol

I am a resource person to IITA till tomorrow. We rule there.

The highest ranking Nigerian ever in IITA is an Igbo man. Prof. Bede Okigbo, former Deputy Director General.

Professor Bede N. Okigbo is the renowned agronomist and retired Director of the World Agricultural Institute in Japan, former Director of the United Nations Institute for Agricultural Research in Africa, Accra, Ghana, and the former Deputy Director-General of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Ibadan, Nigeria.

Did you notice who the webmaster of NRCRI is?

Webmaster: Alawode A. Olaide,. HAHAHa! Omo Yoruba don chop money wey dey give am to maintain website. Omo ole.

ekt_bear:
I'd rather have a premier African/International agric institute in my zone than a poorly funded local one that cannot even afford to maintain its website 

Maybe I should chip in $15 to pay their internet fees for the month

While it is in your zone, is it being funded by your zone? No. Also it is located elsewhere within Nigeria and its research is widespread far beyond your zone
Be it known to you that IITA has some financial crisis that may lead to its closure (from Nigeria); when that happens you are finished.

Oh!! Was it for IITA Eko Ile was bragging about how you guys will feed yourselves? That is a non-starter. IITA has been there since the 1960s/70s and you still import from the North. lol
