When it comes to brain mention Igbo AMAKA

Igbo mara nma nke ukwu

Yes oo, Igbo's are the brainy............
I dont know what moderators are waiting to make this encouraging post front page.
But if its to make posts that will instigate tribal war, hate and all that, they will be fast to make it front page.
im just hoping iether the founder or the moderators has not forgotting the primary aim of nairaland.
I knew nairalander years ago as a place yu can get educative infos, how to make money tips and more info that add values.
but now, wot i see at the front page is more of trashssss everyday. 95% of political info. Nairaland should be the community of Nigerian youths where we discuss on how to better ourlifes since our politicians are looters and criminals but, moderators go still carry their matter full everywhere

The mods are cursed for not moving this educative thread to front page.

Every morning that I wake up from sleep, the first thing I do is say my prayer
The next thing i do is to check my PVC
Voting out BuBu is a task for all Nigerians who are eligible voters!

Lalasticlala eh!

Nigeria amaka!!! One nation

Useless state

Proudly igbo....proudly Nigerian

Igbo amaka


This time around no disappointment

Nice!!

If yorubas and igbos unite and work together to break the northern hegemony, Nigeria I’ll become Dubai in 10-20 years.

I’ve never seen so much intellectual capacity concentrated within two tribes in any African country like that of the igbos and yorubas but we keep getting ruled by mostly illiterate northerners that can’t tell their right from their left!!

Ibo amaka, Yoruba Amaka.

Let’s work together!!!



Igbos are political disorganized.
Yorubas keep aligning with the wrong side.

If yorubas bring their political expertise and vast knowledge and igbos bring their doggedness and innovative spirit, it will be an excellent combination. We will rotate president and Vice President amongst ourselves until we fix Nigeria.

IGBO Amaka

KanuIsCursed:
Useless state

Even if am not Igbo, so sick of you to hate the young lads who made the state proud

Igbos again? I was at a bar few weeks ago, the topic of who is the most brilliant tribe came up, everybody in the room of over 25 said Igbos. The 5 Yorubas there didn't even dispute it. It's dawning on afonjas Igbos are way ahead of them. You remember when they use to say Yorubas lead in education in Nigeria? You notice they don't say that again? Reality is finally dawning on them. Igbos have decimated them and Other tribes know.

that fallacy that yerobas are more educated should be debunk

Igbos are miles ahead of yerobas in any aspect

igbo Amaka

nice one Enugu

Encouraging, educative and innovative


More of this news abeeeg



Tired of politics, boobs and stories that touches the liver

You know when they say all the Igbos "sabi na business" I just laugh ..

The truth is that an Igbo man is good with anything he chooses to endeavor in. It's a gift and talent from above.
You can't wish it away..

They're good in all areas including business..

Can you imagine if Nigerian politics was merit based? Who do you think would be on the lead?

Do you think weac was stupid when they put Igbos unity schools exam cut off marks above that of the other tribes? It's so that others can catch up.
Even the self-acclaimed suphisticated ones needed that headstart to be able to compete with the Igbos

They call them cone headed yet they are making waves across the world.

U can never see the Northern children here. They are busy learning how to kill

South East rules in everything positive.
Igbos are really special awesome people
