AMAKA, I know that once I take you into my confidence now and show you my Bank Account Balance, you would immediately become my friend. But I would not do that until my Amina go for pilgrimage at Mecca.

@namfav
as i said before, most of the successful Fulani people are usually in politics, and what else exactly? that only reaffirms my earlier point. how many, of all the Fulani people in Nigeria are productive? just because many may be in politics does not speak for the masses. many of you are in office and politics, yet your group remains the most uneducated, poverty-stricken, and unproductive of them all.
shame shame shame.
you are here to boast of all your leadership, yet look at how your people live.
SHAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!

besides, why are you harping on the past? well we are talking about 2011 here, not the 1700s. living on past glories, huh?

hahahahehehehe, i reckon there is no significant igbo for the past 200 years, that is a real shame  

there are many fulanis who are successful in other sectors too, like economics, agriculture, law and so on, fulani are not confined to 1 thing, we are in broad sectors, and if you reckon that there are in fact many many fulani in politics then it goes against what you are saying that we are not productive, being productive is a broad term, you can be productive in many things next time be specific, you reckon that we are productive in agriculture, fine, then that means that we are not unproductive, you cannot just go around using terms like uneducated, poor without being specific, we are educated, anyway speak of education why are you talking about us not being educated, when did ibos start being educated? isn't it just 30 years ago? it's not like iboland is paradise or in the g6, my sister you are living in another world, i don't know what reality you are living in

namfav
i am not igbo.i am a proud yoruba man
but without being boastful i can say without any fear that you are poorly educated.
exactly what do you mean by that word significanT please define it for our purposes here.
then we can examine your assertions

the last time i checked chinua achebe,justice oputa ,ezike mbonu,buchi emecheta all seemed quite significant to me,what have you foolanis contributed to scholarship or literature in nigeria??

namfav:

give me 1 ibo from 200 years ago who holds any significants?

namfav:

for the past 200 years or 200 years ago? please make your statements clear and stop twisting your words around.
did i say there were no successful Fulani? im talking about the majority here. the majority are absolutely useless. im talking about being at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to education and productivity that comes from having an education. AND YOU KNOW IT. its funny how you haven't denied that the masses are illiterate. no matter how hard you try and twist it around, you and i both know the truth.
"many" is a loose term that i use. many can mean 100 reps out of all the reps in Nigeria, but does that speak for the masses? NO. look at how the masses live and tell me what all your politics has done for them. NOTHING. just because many Igbos don't go into politics means nothing. is it everybody that is going to be a politician?
my Igbo land may not be paradise but its better than your arid desert land for sure.
lemme be more specific. . . when it comes to intelligence actually acquiring a degree to be something in life, the Fulani are hardly anywhere to be found. you claim you've been "reading" for 200 years now, and what do you have to show for it? many are still backwards and living in the stone age and many are still nomadic,  
as i said, stop living on past glories and face 2011!
you claim to be born in Katsina, i know that you know how your peeps get down over there.

please cite one scholarly article published in an academic journal of repute by a foola

what i mean is that 200 years ago, was there a igbo who was in any way significant? the answer is no i reckon
the majority of ibos are not successful, the majority of ibos do not have degrees, what are you on about girl? i am studying for a b.a so does it mean i am a exception of fulanis what is your problem lol, you are speaking like a majority of ibos are living the high life, you are living in some kind of fairytale such a typical ibo, i didn't even knew you were like that

what you are talking about being productive is such a loose term, you already stated that the north is very productive agriculture wise, so what are you on about? if we are productive in that sector than we are not unproductive lol, i have been to iboland and it is not paradise actually far from it, if you have all the degrees than why is iboland not in the g6 or are you degrees useless? you measuring the degrees by degrees, listen girl 40 years ago the ibos did not know how to read, what does it say, all of a sudden did you become smart hahahahahehe, you are making a a joke out of yourself my sister

THE AMAKA:

so you have converted to Islam?

AMAKA is trying hard to draw me into Religious and Ethnic/Tribal Politics, but I shall with the Last Pint of my Blood remain a Non-Religious and Detribalised Nigerian.  Just for the record, I am neither a Christian nor a Muslim. In fact, that is why I have Buhari, Amina,  Emeka, Adebayo, Osazee, Ogboru, etc. as my friends and can live peacefully anywhere in Nigeria.

why is the 200 year benchmark more important than 20 or 531.
really i am wasting my time with you.clearly you are not able to enrich my knowledge in any meaningful way.

to answer your question, YES. lol
so now you're back to saying 200 years ago? lol, don't worry, i'll do my research on that.  
you seem to be missing the point, the MOST UNPRODUCTIVE. gettit?
at least the average Igbo child goes to school, can the same be said about the Fulani, or their women even?  
when it comes to agriculture, the NORTH, not Fulani alone, does seem to be good at that, and that alone. lol. why can't you educate yourselves? why can't you allow your women to go to school instead of marrying them off to men old enough to be their fathers as second wives at the age of 13 and 14?
all the education you claim you've been seeing for more than 200 years, WHAT IS THERE TO SHOW FOR IS? the majority are still backwards, illiterate, poor, and living in the stone age.

and go back and read what i wrote, i said MANY is a loose term. just because i said many may be in politics does not speak on the masses of Fulani that are still very much unproductive and illiterate.

why are you bent on bringing up 40 years ago? as i said, you are living on past glories. we are talking 2011 and you on about something else. given you claim we've only been reading for 40 years, we have done way more with it than you have done with your 200 years of reading the Koran.

THE AMAKA:


my Igbo land may not be paradise but its better than your arid desert land for sure.

do not mix educated Nigerians with Nigerian politics. two totally different things. if jobs can be created, then YES, Igbo land would look far better, but who is standing in the way? abeg, don't give me all that crap.

well, it's a pity that you are a typical arrogant ibo, because i thought you were better than that
what is difficult just to get a significant ibo from 200 years ago? it is not even an offense lol, if you ask a british to name a significant british from 200 years ago will he take offense hehaha

who cares if the average igbo child goes to school, did the average igbo child go to school 30 years ago? fulani youth are educated from a young age, they are not forbidden from having any knowledge. our women are allowed to be educated, they can draw inspiration from great women like nana asma'u to better themselves, it is not at all forbidden, and as for marrying at 13 or 14, what is wrong with that? there is alot to show for it, we have a history, go around the north, you still see a rich heritage, and proud people who have a rich history, i don't get it how you are making fun of our lifestyle, where were you pre-colonial? head hunting, eating human flesh, murdering twins is that your tradition abi? sis are you telling me that the north is standing in the way of iboland developing, lol na wa o, what do you smoke? i want that sh_t

Below is my contribution to other thread which I would like you to read and be informed, educated and enlightened just like my and your enlightened and matured Easterners Living, Enjoying and Dying With Dignity in the North.
"Have you ever ask yourself what would have happened to the VP-Sambo(a Muslim and a Northerner) if they have met him alone in his family home immediately after the Ridiculously Rigged Presidential Election? We(a Core Niger Deltan myself and majority of Northerners) had expected a Diplomatically Rigged Presidential Election where everybody would go home happy and not a Ridiculously Rigged Presidential Election?
Here is the Diplomatic Rigging we had expected:
NW-GEJ(20%), Buhari(75%)
NE-GEJ(25%), Buhari(70%)
NC-GEJ(26.5%), Buhari(69%)
SS-GEJ(75%), Buhari(5%)
SE-GEJ(76%), Buhari(9%)
SW-GEJ(77%), Buhari(6%)
GEJ & Co. would have won and Buhari & Co. would have gone home happy."

The point I am trying to pass across is that most Northerners know their common enemies. Besides, I just came back from Bauchi with my friend-Amina and everywhere I want while in Bauchi, it was 'RAKADEDE' all the places.

why are u guys deviating from the topic?

call police naa

please what exactly is GEJ and co saying about all these unnecessary killing of igbos?
What does the Igbos leaders also saying about all this?
GEJ is said to be Ijaw, then why killing Igbos?
Northerners formed PDP, then why are Igbos the victims?
Besides, Corpers are not INEC officials, then why targeting them?
The Christians out there are not politicias, then why killing and ruining them?

Surely, i dont understand why the innocent should be the target and victims. Can somebody northerners explain

Or are Igbos and Christians escape goats for any malice in nigeria?

only-truth:

sorry but please do not be stu.pid here

GEJ is igbo his name is Ebelechukwu or is he ijaw again

because that what igbos and ohaneze made the whole country believe

moreover when GEJ was shouting the population of igbos in sokoto was 40% and lagos 70% did igbo leader come out to condemn him from uing there ethnic group name for campiagn. NO

so STFU and accept GEJ represent igbos and won through the population of 90% of the SW and also igbos are 70% of the north

I guess it's time to start acting cowardly and feigning ignorance like you clueless about how far GEJ went to align himself with ibo people and the major election rigging role ibo people played to secure Aso Rock on behalf of EGJ?



Abeg stop the foolishness

I decided to ignore this topic to watch it deviate and it as usual has done that.My family suffered a direct loss in the 2002 Jos crisis.All my Iife I have wondered why Igbos invest lavishly outside their homeland.It is these investments that are holding them back even in the face of danger.

I have once told my friend that if all Anambra millionaires contributed 10,000 Naira monthly,they would raise more money than Lagos State.

Igbos should learn to invest at home and avoid very glaring acquisitions in foreign lands.

It's cheapness, they know they can't have it as easy in the east as they do in other regions because of the intense competition, so they move to other places. The only thing that would bring them back to the east is if south easterners become lazier. The business mindedness of the Igbo is both a blessing and a curse in more ways than one.

iwonbaoko:

ouch!!

it's not ouch, i am more than proud to milk my family cows, to get my milk, to make my butter and to chill and drink, if you do not appreciate that lifestyle then you should just go and jump in the sea, she is a silly girl, does she drink milk? does she know where it comes from? i am proud of my cows

i tell you, arrogant ibos work on my nerves

GBAM! I doff my cap for you.

i think igbos tend to mistake retail/wholesale trading for business. trading is a small part of business.
but there are others in manufacturing and services e.g. banking,telecomms,insurance,security,haulage,catering etc who are business people too. all nigerians do business of some sort.

I'm talking about business mindedness, not who does business or not. Not everyone who sells puff-puff will be successful at it.

only mind readers will know what you are talking about if it is not clearly articulated. i do not know whether there is any consensus on what business mindedness means

not every athlete,armed robber,musician,footballer,drug dealer,prostitute etc will be successful so i fail so see how your puff-puff analogy reduces your elevated thinking to mortal terms

You know what I mean, and there's no need arguing what we can see everyday in Nigeria.
