please, what does that have to do with where she is from

Like you dont already know that Hausas are mentally inferior to Yorubas and Igbos

I dont have the time to entertain your silliness.

This is a well known fact that you can easily Google-up.

Anyhoo, she is Yoruba. She could not have been anything else, maybe Edo or Igbo, but then she would not have had it that good. the fact that her father is an academic and her near perfect SAT tell the story.  She just has to be Yoruba.

Anyhoo, I am out.

well done, is she from the north or swest?

You are so annoying?

Do you even need to ask?

15, Harvard, NJ, near perfect SAT, Harvard, articulate.    .   .  you see that combination and you still ask your silly question?

Just to humor you, she is from the SW, Osun-State, as expected. She could not have been from the North. no way!

@ ekt bear

A Nigerian living in Nigeria cannot be an immigrant in his country.

Secondly, you cannot advocate for a heavier taxation for the SEners who actually are job creators in whatever territory they go to, that would be unfair.

But then again it's fine since everyone would still enjoy the infrastructures put in place by such taxation.

Stop thinking with your arse.

All Nigerians are job creators. Others more so than the Ibos as a matter of fact.

importing fake paracetamols is not a legit/taxable job creation modality. No one wants an economy driven by kidnappers/fake paracetemol importation/Okirika mentality.

The biggest employer in Nigeria is Dangote, who employs more Nigerians than all the spare parts/Nollywood employers combined.

I dont buy the idea that Ibos are more business savvy than the rest, the facts just dont back it up.

igbo boy:
^^^ ooo wee the truth is bitter hahahaha,


First I aint from Imo you morrasucking boi, second, never lived in any yoruba territory in my whole damn life (what for?),

So TALK I AM LISTENING

Hmmmm, Ibo men always talking from both angles of their big mouth

igbo boy:
homeless you say? haha guy no make me laugh. I am literally accomodating your odua brothers in lagos,

frustration? far from it daily.  isi ewu wey i dey chop from the rent wey your odua bros dey pay me dey sweet me, life is good

Am living comfortable son so i dont know what u talking about,  AM doing my best to help my fellow nigerians hence renting out to your odua bros,
Like i said lagos dey for naija, me i be nwa naija so why i go hate?

Eko O ni baje o 

igbo boy:
the insult was uncalled for, SORRY but still my point remains, dont let things such as what language a song is sang in be an issue, Afterall we are not forced to buy it (even tho we are forced to hear it all the time if we live in lagos)

You got jokes, Ok yoruba is the best language in the world, does that make you a millionaire, or does that make you smarter? grow up son, regardless everybody is going to like their culture and thats cool BUT DONT BECOME an ETHNOCENTRIC chauvinist.

^^^

That ediot lacks home training, just leave him alone

If we investigate now, he is prolly living in the SW dealing in spare parts and living the Nigerian dream courtesy of hard cash from the so called "cowards"


Ingrates!

I would gladly go back, but I dont like hanging with Ibos

If y'all can leave the SW, we, Yorubas, would gladly leave Obodo-Oyinbo

The Lagos State Government is to spend N102 billion ($ 650 million) on the construction of the Lekki International Airport which is expected to commence operation in May 2012.

The Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mr. Adeniyi Oyemade, a Public Private Partnership projector told reporters in Ikeja that the proposed airport would handle 5 million passengers annually.

“The state government has obtained the site approval for the airport from the Federal ministry of Aviation and completed the master plan on the 3500 hectares of land for the project.

The Governor has also approved the conduct of the topographical and geotechnical survey of the 3500 hectares of land allocated for the Airport,” he said. Its construction will engage over 2,000 direct and indirect workers.

Also speaking on the project the Special Adviser to the Governor on Commerce and Industry, Mrs. Olusola Oworu, said “the state government believes that this is an investment that can be run only by the private sector because it is commercially viable to have the second international airport in Lagos state which will be running at maximum capacity.

“What the state government will do for the private companies is to create an enabling environment for the investors. And as we speak today, the state government has appointed a commercial adviser who will assist the state government in putting the data’s that will be sent out to prospective investors who will send in their codes for the project,” she added.

The state government has appointed Mace Group, a United Kingdom based firms International Development Unit (IDU) team as the project manager for the preparation of a master plan for the new Airport which will be built next to the 16,500ha Lekki Free Trade Zone.

Akunyili Plans Defying Family, Akunyili Plans To File Election Petition By Proxy
Posted: May 7, 2011 - 04:57
By SaharaReporters, New York
Saharareporters has learnt that former Information Minister Dora Akunyili has decided to defy her husband and concluded plans to file a petition before an electoral tribunal challenging her defeat at last week’s Anambra Central senatorial election.

Mrs. Akunyili, a professor of pharmacy and former director-general of NAFDAC, contested the senatorial seat as a candidate of the All People’s Grand Alliance (APGA), but lost to former Governor Chris Nwabueze Ngige who ran on the ticket of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).

[size=15pt]Two sources close to the Akunyili family disclosed that Mrs. Akunyili’s husband, a medical doctor, had advised his wife against filing a petition against the election.[/size]

“Dr. Akunyili and some members of the family felt that it would damage Professor Akunyili’s reputation and image further if she goes to the tribunal,” said one source. He added, “After agreeing with her husband not to file an appeal, Professor Akunyili then spoke with [Governor] Peter Obi and they arranged to file a petition in the name of APGA.”

Mrs. Akunyili provoked widespread criticism when she announced that she would not congratulate Mr. Ngige, claiming that the ACN candidate had hired thugs to intimidate those who wanted to vote for her. Some critics felt that her attitude smacked of contempt for the voters and exposed her as a sore loser.




A source told SaharaReporters that Mr. Akunyili felt that his wife’s vow to mount an appeal against Mr. Ngige’s election could be perceived as a kind of desperation that might damage her political career. Since stating her rejection of the results, Mrs. Akunyili has been castigated as a sore loser as well as a hypocrite whose famous “re-brand Nigeria” campaign during her tenure as Information Minister was bogus. 

[size=18pt]Our sources indicated that Mrs. Akunyili had promised her husband that she would call off plans to file a petition, only to turn around to ink a different plan with Governor Obi[/size]

A source who is a commissioner in Anambra revealed that Governor Obi was stung by the defeat of Mrs. Akunyili, who comes from the same town as the governor. Governor Obi and Mrs. Akunyili had distributed massive amounts of cash as well as bags of rice and bales of cloths to voters in a bid to snatch the election from Mr. Ngige. Saharareporters published exposes of Mrs. Akunyili’s operatives handing out bags of rice and financial inducement to voters in Nimo, one of the communities where INEC organized rerun polls.

“It seems as if the voters took their money and yet voted against APGA,” said the commissioner, adding, “the governor is in actual fact responsible for the way that Professor Akunyili and others lost in the elections.” [size=18pt]The commissioner said that Governor Obi and the people around him know that Mr. Ngige won the election, but disclosed that “anything ‘Onwa’ [Ngige’s titular name] gives our governor stomachache. That is why he and [APGA chairman] Chief Vin Umeh have convinced Professor Akunyili that they should pursue the case in court.”[/size]

I heard the news on NPR and I instinctively knew the perpetrator had to be Ibo

Ibos. . .

Another thief is taking over the reign of an important Alaigbo state.

Good one!

If these guys are outperforming Fashola GREAT then its time for you to stop living in the West and relocate to the East.

He is not going to move

I dont blame him though, who wants to be kidnapped?


he was just being sarcastic with his post, I think.

He probably posted that shyyt in an Lagos, with all the serenity and security it provides, in a cybercafe owned by a Yoruba woman using an underwater fibre optic cable between Lagos and London laid by another illustrious Yoruba man

What an ingrate!

Lucky woman- hope my man cries like that at my wedding but for where. Aint gonna happen. To even get a man sef is a big problem.

You are still thinking of getting married at your age?

Hmmm,  well, goodluck.

PhysicsMHD:
I think it has at least something to do with the title obsessed culture of Nigeria and that title loving mentality that could rub off on youth. If you feel like a big man after you get  your graduate degree and feel like you've "made it," are you really going to strive as hard in science or technology to outshine everybody? I think Nigerian culture (s) may in some sense hinder Nigerians from trying to become develop a very high level of competitive, like Europeans, Asians, Americans, etc.

Interesting!

Marrying a white girl that seems hot, at least from the picture, not one of those White trash you see Black men salivating over.

He just couldnt believe it I guess.

When you a marry White woman, any one, it is like passport to money, fame and peace of mind.

But I guess it is pretty[b] clear why southern Nigerians outperform Northerners[/b], no? If you are wasting so much talent by marrying girls off at 13-14, and then making your boys spend however many hours a day memorizing the Koran, not much good will come of that. They need to tweak their culture slightly and incorporate some new things into it to be more competitive.[/quote]Where did you get that from?

Going by JAMB results, they do pretty well, better than southerners as a matter of fact.

SEFAGO:
^ egbon, why u vexed now, elaborate more, dont get your point.

Agree, this s/h/i/t is overquoted though.

I am not angry at all. The point is we have not really achieved much, PRACTICALLY,  with the 'pali' we are always eager to parade.

How many patents do we have, collectively, compared to others? And, even beyond that how have the so called 'highly educated' ones amongst us impact the community they live in,  here or back home. Over the years, even before Clarence Page's article came out dubbing Immigrant Africans as model minority, it was evident to every one that Africans, as a whole, and Nigerians in particular parade lotsa degrees with very little to show for it in terms numbers of high value publications, patents, inventions, and even, no offense intended,  WRT original ideas. We just seem in-capable of translating our class-room smarts into real-life smarts that could be beneficial to others.

My point is that relative to others, eg the Indians, who have been able to produce people like Ramachandran et al, Tata Motors and Nanos etc.,we are just lacking behind, satisfied with shyyty/ subliminally deriding accolades like model minority, and getting into Harvard in trickles, while the rest of the world move past us developmentally.

PhysicsMHD:
An interesting article I came across:
The Myth of Black Immigrant Privilege
I don't agree with all of it, but it was well-argued.

That article is an indictment of our collective mentality as Africans:

The argument that black immigrants are more highly educated also distorts the reality by conflating black immigrants together. [size=18pt]African immigrants are, on average, far more highly educated than Caribbean immigrants, or even white Americans, having the highest portion of advanced degrees among any ethnic group besides Indians[/size]. By contrast, Caribbean immigrants have roughly the same levels of “low” educational attainment as African-Americans,[4] and are more likely to come from poverty than are African-Americans. According to one recent study, 22 % of African-Americans had incomes below the poverty level, compared to 34 % for Haitians,[5] for example, despite the fact that Haitians have significantly less “low” education than do other African-Americans or Caribbean immigrants. Language poses a significant barrier to Caribbean immigrants from French and Spanish-speaking societies, and they are as a result less likely to do well on standardized testing or to get jobs with employers who favor English-speaking employees. In this respect, the English-speaking Caribbean groups have an advantage over other Caribbean immigrants, although their socio-economic status still falls below U.S. norms, and most Anglophone Caribbean immigrants tend to live in the same impoverished inner-city neighborhoods, as do African-Americans, with the same limited access to good schools and educational services

That right there is enough for us all to bury our heads in shame.
I have seen it countless times and it saddens me every time I see that.

Too bad, my people no get brain at all.
