No it makes Kwara a Northern state

What of chief Adedoyin of Doyin group, Lai Muhammad Rasidi Yekini etc.

You can even google kwara state and you will find it posted that 85% of the population readily identify as Yorubas, or what language do you think is spoken in ilorin ? Even in the Emirs palace. cheesy

Please and please Kwara can't be Yoruba state. You already violated the rules of Geopolitical zones without recourse to balance .

Iamgrey5:
Rivers state is entirely different because while igbos make a substantial minority, it's no where close to 50% of the population, same can be said of Delta where igbos should be closer to 50% of the population.

Of course, it will be a different issue while kwara won't be a different issue. Though not interest go research again on the states and clear your doubts. Don't allow ignorance finish you because no minority exist as you stated rather overwhelmimg majority..Research well

Moving on, Wole Soyinka has more internationally recognized award than any other writer in Nigerian history.

[s]He is a social crusader that has even spent month in prison for issues that should not ordinarily concern him like Biafra.[/s]

He started a group that was made up of predominantly students from poor background to give them a voice, he was never part of groups like Aye, Eye, Vikings of today.




Soyinka is all politics.


Today our universities are now Den of cultism and all forms of cult activities. They all same cultism is cultism.

You can talk about cultism in Nigeria without calling Soyinka. That's a bad precedence.

So are the igbos in South no longer igbos because they are in the south ?

So why should Yorubas in the north cease from existing as Yorubas even when the Yoruba language is the only language they understand.

You are starting to sound off key again or are you simply ignorant of the facts? cheesy

Are you no longer aware that some Yorubas are in Benin and Togo?

Or have you forgotten your own twisted narrative you championed not so long ago that Yorubas should have either been with the northerners or in Benin republic grin


Is igbo the official language in Rivers or Delta? Are any of riverine areas in Delta or Rivers state igbo dominated?

Answer this question in all honesty and you would get the ANSWERS to the emboldened

on Prof Wole Soyinka

I can't really help you with Wole Soyinka any further because you seem to be a poor student of history and facts even when it's slapping you in your face.

Yoruba can't be official language in Kwara afterall Nupe and fulani also exist there with Emir as the head. So you can't tell me Yoruba is an official language there when bariba tribe is also there...So no domination

What I argued with you is simply number and Geopolitical zones which I clearly stated the majority in that state and quite distributed.

Get to work and research well.

Or take bus down to ilorin to find out yourself.

The Nupes and Bariba don't have up to more than 4 local government area combined. The Fulani have mixed with Yoruba and speak Yoruba.

Bruten LGa for baruba ( A mixture of Bariba and Yorubas)

Edu (Nupe)

Patagi (Nupe)

Kaima

All the other 10 local government areas are dominated by Yorubas with some minority Fulani in Ilorin who now speak Yoruba.

You exposed me? How laughable grin

Same you who I boxed to every corner with hard facts, then you run away and avoid quoting me? Why don't you quote me for a head to head debate?

You could not explain to us why Igbos (the only majority tribe in Nigeria surrounded by minority tribes on all frontiers), yet they do not have a good relationship with all these tribes.

You people do not accommodate these minorities in your states. You don't give them admissions and job opportunities in your states, yet you collect from theirs.

You tried to excuse yourself by claiming that all other Nigerian cities had federal govt presence and were old capital cities hence their being more cosmopolitan than Igbo cities. I clearly exposed you on this one and you ran away.

If you think you can challenge me to a debate, quote me back and let me deal with you here. Nonsense.

Read Yujin's comments and learn from him how he responds on behalf of Igbos in a more enlightened and mature way, unlike you who comments like a lady who has been experiencing ceaseless menstrual flow, cramps and mood swings for a month non-stop.


Boxed into corner? Are you for real, where, when and how? You must be hallucinating bro. Quote you as in how? I quoted you when needed. My message you quoted was meant for Igbos who have started to think you and your likes Igbophobia can be avoided. It was targeted at making the picture clearer to them.

If you feel touched by the post. You could have easily picked them apart and refute them all, but you couldn't, so you came up with a dismissive rant.

Israel is surrounded by many nations and yet have no good rapport with any of them. Arabs and Persians fight themselves yet when it comes to Israel, they all align. Sometimes it's like that.
I don't understand what you mean by Igbos not having good rapport with minorities. That's a rather vague statement? What sort of rapport are you speaking of? Do Plateau minorities have rapport with Your Hausa neighbours? I remember you were in another thread crying about Hausa domination in Jos.
You amuse me.

How exactly were you able to refute my argument of many multiethnic cities today being former capitals of multi ethnic entities (States, empires, etc) ? I didn't get your rebuttal on that. Not to talk about the other point of FG deliberate DE industrialization of SE by starving her of many important factors of production.

This statistic is absolute bullshit. There is no way in hell Hausas & fulanis combined can equal the population of Yorubas & Igbos combined, let alone only Hausa being equal to Yoruba & Igbo combined.

Also, muslims can never be the majority in Nigeria.
In Southern Nigeria, only in Oyo & Osun states are muslims up to half/more of the population, meanwhile you have Northern Nigeria where Benue, Plateau, Taraba and FCT are predominantly/overwhemingly christian, and Kogi, Nasarawa, Adamawa & Kaduna states as around a 50/50. Then Borno, Kebbi, Niger, Gombe & Kwara who have at least 25-40% of it's population as christian.

With this, how on earth can muslims be a majority in Nigeria? Americans should shove up that stupid and useless statistics up their asses.

According to CIA book of facts, the Hausa-Fulani remain the most populous ethnic group in Nigeria by far, constituting over 30% of Nigeria Population. Igbos at 14.1% are the second most populous ethnic group, while the Yoruba at 13.9% are the third.

However, the big surprise is the fact that Ibibio/Tiv at 2.2% each and not Ijaw at 2.0%, are considered the most populous groups outside the traditional tripod.

Additionally, Nigeria is largely an Islamic country , with Muslims making up 51.6% of the population, in contrast to the 46.9% of the Nigerian citizens who are Christians. The other significant group are the traditionists who make up 9% of the population.

Nigeria as you can see from the above figures is an overtly religious country with an insignificant number of agnostic/atheists.



Let the discussions , calculations and permutations begin.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ni.htm

Another moronic and wasteful attempt to look smart. There is nothing such as Hausa-Fulani ethnicity in Nigeria. It is either Hausa or Fulani. The largest single ethnic group in Nigeria is Igbo. The Hausa-Fulani narratives are handiwork of treacherous colonialists.

In Nigerian political sphere, there is a well known amalgam called Hausa-Fulani. A union between the ruling and the subjugated .

You amuse me.
Hausa fulanis are only disliked by their christian neighbours. They are however loved by their muslim minority neighbours.
Some of these neighbours have even culturally integrated with them. Most of these minorities have their largest populations outside their homelands living in Hausa land.

Ebiras are one of the minority groups neighbouring Yorubas and approx 500,000 of them live in Yoruba villages all over Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo & Kwara. Many have been integrated into Yoruba culture.
Same with the Nupes (northern neighbours of Yoruba) who yorubas call Tapa.
Even Urhobos who are direct neighbours of Igbos are many in Yoruba villages settled and integrating.

How many Igalas, Idomas, Ogojas, Ijaws, Ibibios, Ogonis, Urhobos/Isokos & Edos are settled and integrating in Igbo land?
How many of them are admitted/ employed in Igbo universities & civil services?

I gave you Benin, Jos, Ilorin & Maiduguri and you said these places were former capitals of multi ethnic states, true. But these cities have tribes outside their previous states.
Benin, Jos & Maiduguri have lots of Yorubas, Hausas & SE Igbos and I ask, were these 3 tribes part of old Bendel, Benue-Plateau or North-east states?

Wail on, I'm only just starting.

See, I have never begged Igbos anywhere in the name of christianity. It was an Igbo person that first made the comment here that christians are suffering in Nigeria because of neglect of Igbos. All I did was to corroborate the statement, but you are now talking rubbish as if I opened a thread to start begging Igbos in the name of christianity.

You are here spewing and promoting hatred against people who are accommodating and hosting millions of your people in their lands and giving them academic and job opportunities in their states whereas your own people do not give shii to anybody else.

Igbo people can freely live, do business and succeed in most parts of Jos & Kaduna cities because of my people who have bled keeping these places.
Do you know that the same Igbos still betray our people sometimes? Hausa-fulanis know that our people will never sell lands for them, so they sometimes use Igbo middlemen to get these lands.

An Igbo man killed his Ijaw girlfriend in Bayelsa and the Ijaw natives went on an attack and looting spree against Igbo traders. Have you ever heard anything of such thing in our territories? Yet you guys still beg and stand behind Ijaws to your cause.

Middlebelters have openly apologized for their role in the Nigerian civil war against Biafrans, the Niger deltan minorities and even the Ikwerres & Ikas whom you guys beg to join your fold, none of these people have apologized for their roles in the sabotage of Biafra and abandoned property saga.
Na our body una dey get power ba?

Our people have never begged Igbos to help us fight our battles and we will never do so by the grace of God.
However, Igbos have paid for our battles.
Do you remember the Yelwa-Shendam 2006 crisis in Plateau state where Hausa muslims were dealt with and driven out from Shendam LGA in their thousands? Guess what? Hausa fulani muslims in Kano could not bare it anymore and they descended on christians in Kano state of which Igbos were the major victims.
Of course, Igbos are the most easily identifiable christians in the core-north. Most of my people who live in the core-north can easily blend in and escape being identified.

Only very very foolish people spread hatred to people who host your people in millions and people whose actions and inactions directly affect millions of your people.

My advice for you is to first of all campaign for all Igbos to leave other parts of Nigeria and return back home, then you can go ahead and spew all the hatred you have in you against these tribes.
Your failure to do this and your continous spewing of hate makes you a suicide bomber to your own people.

Some of these neighbours have even culturally integrated with them. Most of these minorities have their largest populations outside their homelands living in Hausa land.

Ebiras are one of the minority groups neighbouring Yorubas and approx 500,000 of them live in Yoruba villages all over Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo & Kwara. Many have been integrated into Yoruba culture.
Same with the Nupes (northern neighbours of Yoruba) who yorubas call Tapa.
Even Urhobos who are direct neighbours of Igbos are many in Yoruba villages settled and integrating.

How many Igalas, Idomas, Ogojas, Ijaws, Ibibios, Ogonis, Urhobos/Isokos & Edos are settled and integrating in Igbo land?
How many of them are admitted/ employed in Igbo universities & civil services?
Did the whole Nigeria not witness Abia state govt sacking all Imo state indigenes in their civil service?



I rebutted this by giving you Kano. The most cosmopolitan city in Nigeria after Lagos.
And I asked you, was Kano the capital of a multi ethnic state? What FG institutions were established in Kano?

I gave you Benin, Jos, Ilorin & Maiduguri and you said these places were former capitals of multi ethnic states, true. But these cities have tribes outside their previous states.
Benin, Jos & Maiduguri have lots of Yorubas, Hausas & SE Igbos and I ask, were these 3 tribes part of old Bendel, Benue-Plateau or North-east states?

I have been on nairaland for more than 6 years, but that is very pointless.



See, I have never begged Igbos anywhere in the name of christianity. It was an Igbo person that first made the comment here that christians are suffering in Nigeria because of neglect of Igbos. All I did was to corroborate the statement, but you are now talking rubbish as if I opened a thread to start begging Igbos in the name of christianity.

You are here spewing and promoting hatred against people who are accommodating and hosting millions of your people in their lands and giving them academic and job opportunities in their states whereas your own people do not give shii to anybody else.

Igbo people can freely live, do business and succeed in most parts of Jos & Kaduna cities because of my people who have bled keeping these places.
Do you know that the same Igbos still betray our people sometimes? Hausa-fulanis know that our people will never sell lands for them, so they sometimes use Igbo middlemen to get these lands.

An Igbo man killed his Ijaw girlfriend in Bayelsa and the Ijaw natives went on an attack and looting spree against Igbo traders. Have you ever heard anything of such thing in our territories? Yet you guys still beg and stand behind Ijaws to your cause.

Middlebelters have openly apologized for their role in the Nigerian civil war against Biafrans, the Niger deltan minorities and even the Ikwerres & Ikas whom you guys beg to join your fold, none of these people have apologized for their roles in the sabotage of Biafra and abandoned property saga.
Na our body una dey get power ba?

Our people have never begged Igbos to help us fight our battles and we will never do so by the grace of God.
However, Igbos have paid for our battles.
Do you remember the Yelwa-Shendam 2006 crisis in Plateau state where Hausa muslims were dealt with and driven out from Shendam LGA in their thousands? Guess what? Hausa fulani muslims in Kano could not bare it anymore and they descended on christians in Kano state of which Igbos were the major victims.
Of course, Igbos are the most easily identifiable christians in the core-north. Most of my people who live in the core-north can easily blend in and escape being identified.

Only very very foolish people spread hatred to people who host your people in millions and people whose actions and inactions directly affect millions of your people.

My advice for you is to first of all campaign for all Igbos to leave other parts of Nigeria and return back home, then you can go ahead and spew all the hatred you have in you against these tribes.
Your failure to do this and your continous spewing of hate makes you a suicide bomber to your own people.



Trash of highest degree.

Pazienza is right in what he projected. Don't get it twisted. He looks at everything only on Igbo perspective.

You on the other hand creates imaginary minority theories.


Can't you see that you the one deviating. He is looking at Igbo nation not all these your Nigeria tower of Babel.


Finally maybe is like telling those in America and other countries to go back. Same Nigeria dirty theory of evil minds.


If I can pay my taxes, foot my bills and obey your laws that what matters. The rest are normal Nigeria dirty minds.

Iamgrey5:
Your problem is simply because you have spent a whole lot of time with igbos you begin believe their lies.
If I accept all Igbo lies, then I wouldn't have been debating and antagonizing them here. Or are you not seeing my comments on this thread against them?


First of all, University of Ibadan started in 1948 as university of college Ibadan but it was actually a degree awarding university. Yaba tech which was established much earlier was an institution which awarded certificates not university college Ibadan.. (Note: there's difference between the first indigenous university and first university in Nigeria)
I don't understand what you are arguing here.
UI started out as a college of the University of London, while Yaba the first tertiary institution was just an ordinary college and people did not get a BSc from it. This was why staff and students were transferred from Yaba college to University of London's college in Ibadan.
Until 1963 did UI become a full fledged university of it's own.
What we are arguing about is a full fledged university and not a college of another university.


Secondly, can you please list the igbo educational achievers you are talking about, especially the ones that put Yoruba's educational achievers in second position.
Prof Kenneth Dike who was the first VC of UI was the first Nigerian professor of History.
Prof Vincent Nwuga, first Nigerian prof of Physiotherapy.
HRH Prof Chike Edozien, first prof of Physiology.
Prof Eni Njoku, first prof of Botany
Prof Dennis Ugwuegbu, first prof of Psychology
e.t.c


Thirdly, the igbos have only five state in which they absolutely dominate by population elsewhere they are minority, whereas Yorubas dominante 7 states and are strong minority in kogi state. Hence, it is not uncommon to find three of igbo states (Imo, Anambra and Abia) topping jamb admission on most occasions followed by the remaining seven seven Yoruba states (Oyo, Kwara, Osun, Lagos, Ekiti, Ondo and Ogun state) .


Please bring out this overall ranking by states by various bodies, let us break them down into actual figures.

Like I said earlier, massage the Egos of igbos all you want but please stick to the facts alone and not hearsay.

This is the only point I may agree with you.

However, Igbos are not a minority in Rivers state. Igbo speaking tribes dominate 10- 12 of the 23 LGAs in the state.
In Delta state, they are about ⅓ of the population. The Urhobos are also within the same range, so there is no clear majority in the state, so we really cannot say Igbos are a minority in either Delta or Rivers state.

Trash of highest degree.
You are a bigger trash if you cannot disprove the above mentioned points with superlative and salient facts.


Pazienza is right in what he projected. Don't get it twisted. He looks at everything only on Igbo perspective.

You on the other hand creates imaginary minority theories.
Pazienza's problem is his problem.
How do I on the other hand create imaginary minority theories? Can you elaborate?

Well, your fore fathers agreed to the establishment of the tower of babel. They also spearheaded the centralization of the political power of this tower and withdrew the option of secession for members of this tower.


Finally maybe is like telling those in America and other countries to go back. Same Nigeria dirty theory of evil minds.

If I can pay my taxes, foot my bills and obey your laws that what matters. The rest are normal Nigeria dirty minds.

Did Trump (the president) not tell that silly Somali woman lawmaker to go back to Somalia when she was talking ill about the US? Don't white American supremacists tell everyone else to go back? You can't be badmouthing me and still enjoying the milk and honey of my land.

Igbos in their tens of thousands apply for admissions and study in Universities in other states. They get jobs in the civil services of other states. Opportunities you people will never give to others in your states.

Many Igbo traders in some states do not pay any tax and they trade and freely make profit.
We all know that the taxation system in Nigeria as a whole is weak.
