Nairalanders, let's come to reality. The most peaceful city in Nigeria and to raise family and also build a house at low cost and enjoy your life with your family is simply AKURE the capital of ONDO STATE. If you disagree with me, then go for your choice. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5698794-146/story.csp [b]HOSPITALS IN AKURE alone[/b]Abitoye HospitalsAkure Bamaca Hospital, Oniparaga Estate,Akure Federal Medical Centre, Owo Saint Louis Catholic Hospital, Owo General Hospital, Owo Leo Hospital,Akure Hope Hospital,Akure Hope Specialist Hospital,Akure MoMaak Specialist Hospital, 3 LafeInn Way,Akure Visionist Hospital,Akure Saint John and Mary Hospital ,Akure Mercy Specialist Hospital,Akure Gbask Hospital,Akure Oke Royal Hospital, Ikare Akure Metropolitan Hospital,Akure Oludare Hospital,Akure Shekinah Hospital, Owo Garrage,Akure State Specialist Hospital,Akure State Specialist Hospital, Ikare State General Hospital, Ondo General Hospital, Alade, Idanre http://sharpedgenews.com/news/2011/02-22-11/mimiko_project_pix.shtml http://ondostate.gov.ng/ http://maps.google.ie/maps?hl=en&q=Akure,+ondo+state&rlz=1R2SKPB_enIE382&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x10478f90695c5dfb:0xe0a5d2bbf32a9161,Akure,+Nigeria&gl=ie&ei=j79jTtnINoHChAfGm8yiCg&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBoQ8gEwAA

@op, Sincerely,just b4 i opened thread my mind went 4 Abeokuta. I had my childhood years there and i can say that its many time better than the much hyped lag,abj n ph. Its cheap,u can get solid schools there n d chances of your kid mixing with pple is lower. I laugh out hard @ those living in lagos(esp ones not living in V.I,Ikoyi,lekki,magodo etc) that try to look down on other pple from other place like abk 'cos 90% cant stand some of us. Your income level, locatn within d town,school n yourself will define d orientatn of your kidz if u opt 4 abk. |

Well when talking about the Yoruba language I admit the ara-oke's speak proper Yoruba. But honestly their English accents are being laughed at by a lot of Lagosians I know. Its just an opinion and dont want my kids laughed at simple. Not like I'm bashing them. And from news and stuff I hear crime rate is on the high in Ibadan. Though IB is our closest neighbour , I see more families settling between IB and Lagos (The mowe/ibafo axis) |

@tEsLim I have to give it to you that when it comes to being st.oo.pid, you are top-notch. You talk about English "accents" (whatever that means) and I wonder what the hell you are talking about. We meet a lot of you ediots who think because you were the first to come in contact with slave merchants, you really have mastered their language and culture. Why are you so daft? What is the level of your education Mr. "English accents"? No, you cannot bash the Ibadans, nor can you bash the Ilorins. You are not qualified to. Where do you live in Lagos? Isale Eko where gutters pass through your bedrooms, or Lagos Island where your life is limited to 10 square kilometers? Of course, you "Lagosians"" will laugh at Ibadan and Ilorin accents since you are the most "civilized" among the Yorubas, thinking that speaking hardly understood English is a sign of your education. In your "Ibo gb'ami odun de", ( second hand clothing, good business by the way in which Lagosians are not engaged), you strut your stuff as the area boys that you are. It does not matter to you that most of the jobs in Lagos are not held down by "Lagosians". Stop the BS, Epe village boy. |

@Pafuri, well said indeed. |

Pafuri, I think you are taking things personal here. You even had to bring up this same topic on another thread that was clearly not about this just because you saw Teslim's post. You know you have unwittingly derailed that thread,right? Abeg free the guy, he only aired his opinion, I wonder why you are so mad with him that you had to write himan epistle. Enuff said abeg |
| Re: Best City To Raise A Family In Nigeria by moremi2008(m): 9:57am On Sep 05, 2011 |
rhymz: I agree that Pafuri is taking things a bit far but you must agree that this Teslim guy's arguments are ignorant, irrelevant and terribly annoying. It's like he has never seen the four walls of a tertiary institution and his reasoning has remained stuck at the J.S.S.1 level. |

tEsLim (m) Lekki Phase I, Lagos Posts: 731 Offline Re: US Places Top Nigerian Politicians On Terrorist Sponsors List « #17 on: Today at 06:23:51 AM » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well the Yoruba's should be have an independent state or sovereign state and let the northerners continue with whatever they want. I will be nice if Yoruba can bail out first or if Biafra can rise again. @rhymz: Look again at what tEsLim posted and you will agree with me that there is a correlation here. I am not taking things personal. How could people like tEsLim talk about a Yoruba soverign State when they are so biased even against their own people? I am not stalking him, I just want people to know him for what he believes. I have said on the other post that I will have nothing more to say on the matter. Thank you though. I respect you. @moremi: and of course, someone has to call him to order. That is all I did. |

Pafuri:Funny enough, Teslim is not the only one that shares that view. I realy find it a little discomforting to the ears when some supposed exposed kids speak with heavy-laden accent of their language. Truth be told, we all at some point laugh at them, I am from the east and you can be sure, Teslim is not the only one who jeers people from his own tribe that speak with local accents, everyother person does it at some point, there is nothing repulsive or self-hating about it. When I was in the University, I remember those of us from cities like Lagos, Portharcourt, Abj and some other more cosmopolitan cities and towns, how we used to mimic the the heavy igbo accents of guys and gals from Aba, Onitsha, and some inner towns in the southeastern states, we all laugh it off and still continue being friends. Many of them even call those of us from Lagos "umu lagos, ndi ofe mmanu boys" and all that but we still get along very well. Many of them are still my friends till this day. It is nothing to get all Blackie Chan on Teslim for. After all said and done, everyone speaks with an accent, it just depends on who is listening. However, I will prefer to hear a Lagos kid speak english than say, a kid from Ibadan, Aba, ogbomosho, onitsha, abeokuta and so on. . It does not take anything from the kids, it is just my facking preference just like Teslim's. Don't get rabid and start cursing over that. the matter. Thank you though.

Even when I have friends from Akure, Ibadan and my spouse Illorin/Kwara and attended OAU. I didn't even mean it in a derogatory manner and all this pafuka dude can do is to attack my character. A forum is all about hearing peoples opinions. Its left for you to consider or ignore opinions. Can someone tell me its not constructive? Its just an opinion and I said I wouldn't like my kids to be laughed at for accents. I have Ibadan friends that spent time in Uk and still with So sior (shey o sure) accent. Its no biggie. Raise your kids anywhere you want. I would want mines to have a taste of everything all-round exposure simple 1 Like |

Teslim – It is indeed true that you have the right to express your opinion in a forum such as these; it is equally true that your particular view on this occasion is slightly superficial and shallow. One should of course go to great length in choosing where to raise children (given the choice), I however don’t think an accent nor intonation is one those important factors. I am an employer, and in my selection criterion, I will certainly be prevalence in considering a candidate that speaks with good constructs, have clarity of thoughts and expressions and displays intelligence and depth of knowledge over one that simply has good phonetics. I think the world has seriously moved on from being this aesthetic. Pafuri – There is simply no need to go to that level of derision and diatribes in reacting to Teslim. I quite frankly think you allow your frustrations to get the best out of you. Civility, courtesy and diplomacy in a forum such as this, especially when the issue being discussed is somewhat serious, is I think very important, and will only help all of us to become even more knowledgeable in the subject-matter. The most important thing however is to know that no matter where you find yourself and your children, bring them up to the best of your knowledge and ability, and the outside world will have little or no influence in their development. Thanks. 1 Like |

sundaysule:Funny in your comparison you had to tilt the table in favour of the employee with heavy laden accent and blessed him with all the right features only to leave the "phorne" guy with the only ability to blow big grammar and nothing more. You make it sound like there are no "phorne"guys that can articulate their thoughts and show creativity. How about comparing both of them on thesame scale- same abilities and intelligence except that one speaks with heavy local accent and the other with a rich exotic accent so cool like ice down an icycle, huh  Who will ya choose? Your guess is as good as mine, yeah right. . Lol |
| Re: Best City To Raise A Family In Nigeria by tunnytox(m): 9:12am On Sep 06, 2011 |
Lets bare it in mind that you may even bring up your child in Ibadan, Ilorin etc and they may still not develop the accent because it largely depend on the area of the town where they are brought up and the school they attend as well as how the parents communicate with them. This is evident from the fact that many kids brought up in Lagos nowadays can't even speak Yoruba! At least I have met few of these Lagos kids that cannot communicate in Yoruba at all! |
