Yeah, Im also waiting for Oyb's discourse on his final year project.
Dude already told you he copied while in school. What else do you want?. He will download a pdf file of some graduate engineering student in Carnegie Mellon university or some Russian university and post it here. He is a disgrace to yorubas.

ouch. forgot that you are a pharmacist. so you actually do know something. . .i truly thought that skull of your was a new design, intended to house hot air. . .

though your knowledge of the drugs for STDs undoubtedly arises from your familiarity with STDs
I repeat, if you have syphilis, Herpes or HIV, stay away from our women because you will be doing Nigeria more harm than breeding children. Why am I wasting my time here with this nincompoop?.

you have missed all the debates on emegwali the charlatan
So his Gordon prize is charlatan? . What of Ezebuiro? He is charlatan too or Chike Obi(RIP)?. I tell you, achieve half of what emeagwali achieved and I'll be ok instead of strolling the streets of lagos and looking for whose land to sell. Civil engineering is not about selling lands because anybody can do that.

will the Christians in the house please come and tell this eejit to stop making a fool of herself ?

i have no particular beef with ibos - other than the ones who try to sell me crap , and those who feel that having money is an excuse to be a prick - you meet a lot of those in lagos; but i don't where someone gets off on coming to a multicultural forum to blather about ethnic superiority.

what nonsense

If they sell you crap, sell it to them on your own accord and desist from abusing those that did not. May be world class scientists Emeagwali, chike obi and prof Ezebuiro are dumb too because they are igbo. Do you know Ezebuiro's name ring a bell in engineering here in America?

of course i'm using individual instances - our experiences are much better at shaping our perceptions, than someone blathering on the internet
Like you confessed yourself that you dubbed yourself to 2.1. No wonder many modern Nigerian graduates are as dummy as they come.

it would do you good to look at the numerous logs in our(yoruba) eyes rather than your incessant bitching on hausas - abeg go and marry wilywily

please tell me - are the majority of African Americans not raised as Christian and with christian values?

You need to leave that your village and travel for once. Do you even have a passport?.Majority of them do not have any religion at all even though they will tell you they are largely baptist. What kind of christian goes to church only once a year and some dont even go at all. Americans are not as religious as you think. Get your facts right.

you seem to be switching your argument - now uncontrolled procreation is a black thing. . . Grin

i suppose the women the men are breeding with are doing it against their will
Religion is a very powerful tool over a man's psyche. Your 'group' use that to dominate your women and education contributes it's own quota. That is why i think you are an educated illiterate. If you think Igbos are thugs and all that but turn a blind eye to yorubas doing the same, then you need to see a shrink. Come to MD, over 90% of WEWE boys are yorubas. Ask anybody that desires to tell you an unalloyed truth. At home, your religious group are replenishing our population through polygamy. If polygamy fueled by religion is not the problem, why the surge in area boys in the west? . Can you compare their population to the population of thugs in the east or south south?. Get real my friend and stop yarning bull shit because you wanna be a tribal bigot. If Yoruba christians did it, then your muslims brothers can do it. 80% of the successful families in yorubaland can be traced to their christian background, Go figure. You may also tell me how many of Abiola's over 100 children as rich as he was are up and about. Bloody gay. embarassed embarassed

ask 2face idibia Grin - or maybe he is muslim Grin, i wonder what you equate with civilisation -

perhaps the ibo's obssesion with lucre can also be linked to christianity - enogh fake drug barons were knighted by the church, if my memory serves me well. maybe their psychotic armed robbers, who gave rise to the dreaded bakassi boys are also linked to Christianity.
Using one person again to judge a whole state. I think you have serious issues.

49% are African American (compared to 11% of general population).

First and foremost, every African American is not christian and their family structure is akin to the polygamous setting in Nigeria. One common ground here is the men are breeding with as many women as possible and that is why their poverty rate is the highest in the US. Compare that with the situation in Yorubaland today and you'll see that although the word 'marriage' is attached to it, it's basically the same thing. African Americans are still better off because they have a working system, a welfare, school loans and all that. Who will give all those kids you are breeding in the name of Allah school loans? OIC or what?. You must be delusional. All I ask is for you guys to look at what is on our plate and stop populating Yorubaland with almajiris.

considering the fact that you have an iq in single digits, what religion are you? Grin Grin Grin

ps whats the religion of all those gangbangers and drug dealers and excons in the hood where you reside? Grin Grin Grin


i can't salute statistics until i see hardcore evidenec of their effect.i served in ogun state. my camp was 80% easterners - this is what an ibo graduate said when he saw me reading a novel -

" bros, all the book whey u read for school no do you?"

within the engineering dept where i work - only two of us have 2'1s

one is from delta, schooled in the east, and is the dumbest engineer you've ever seen. one time last year, during a meeting it was all about blasting him ( any 'sharp' dude can get a 2'1 - but the real world needs the ability that is supposed to come with it)



so i can understand that to foreigners outside the country, these 'statistics' are a straw to grab onto in their wild quest for ethnic superiority, but down here in naija, they are just dubious facts that employers would consider warily.

You see how dumb you sound?. You are using individual instances to justify a whole ethnic group. You sound like you have a serious complex issues with igbos and it may be career related. i suggest you go and sort it out. I also suggest you look into the inherent problem among yorubas first before taking out the speck on another tribes eye. it's a pity that as educated as you claim to be, you still turn a deaf ear to the idea of one man marrying multiple women to procreate abundantly even when he has no resources to take care of them. Oyb, you don't need an engineering degree
to figure out the problem.


i have heard from more than one source that UNN professors grant engineering graduates 2'1s( unless they offend in a major way) to give them a competitive advantage. this may be why employers don't take the revered 2'1 that seriously anymore

Were you not the same person that took offense when someone said that those that went to school in Illorin are semi illiterates and the person cited the same example you wrote above?. You also claim that one nna boy graduated from your ivy league school without knowing how to write his name, is that not a contradiction?. Living in denial will not solve anything, boo. I was banking on you to tell your muslim brothers to back off and breed responsibly.

The Article was not written by the poster and there is this misconception that all Almajiri’s are Hausas. That is not the case at all. There are Yoruba muslims who live as those too.

Even though we are not as mature as hausas in the almajiri business, what do you think should be done to curtail this trend since it's more of a religious issue which can be very volatile?
Politics / Re: Yorubas Littered With Homeless Beggars, All Children And Women by earTHMama: 12:03am On Jan 26, 2009
The underlying factor in this new trend is failure of the Nigerian State on one part and the laziness on the part of these women. Most of them don't want to work, In those days, when everybody's occupation was farming you dare not beg. You must find something to do. But these days, our women and children are too lazy. It is either they steal or beg. In most cases a mother and child become almajiris at social events. So the question now is can a Yoruba man now refer derisively to a Hausa beggar as almajiri when we have many of them now in Yorubaland? The answer is no! This trend must be arrested before it goes out of hand.
@ bold, I don't think so.



The almajiris in the North these days engage in novel forms of drug abuse like sniffing of gutter water to get intoxicated
, sniffing of adhesives and other drugs so that they are ever ready to unleash terror on the rest of the society whenever they are called upon to do so by the political wing of almajiris. I strongly recommend that guests at public functions must stop encouraging almajiris by giving them money.

Refusing to give them money will not nip the problem from the bud, rather it will make them accept robbery more comfortably as a necessary source of livelihood.

Politics / Nigerian Big Player In Bank Fraud Jailed by earTHMama: 11:56pm On Jan 25, 2009
Nigerian big player in bank fraud jailed

AN INTERNET fraudster has been jailed for his part in a worldwide scam, which saw millions of pounds stolen from people's bank accounts. Adewale Taiwo (26), who worked as a process engineer at Grimley Smith Associates Ltd, based in Brigg, was one of the 'big players' in the UK arm of the Dark Markets website - an invitation only forum for criminals to buy and sell bank card details.

Taiwo obtains confidential online banking details from chat rooms and bank workers. He then use the details to hack into personal accounts and transfer huge sums of money - of which he took a percentage - to clients worldwide. Taiwo, of Victoria Dock, East Hull, admitted at Hull Crown Court, of defrauding around £600,000 from bank accounts around the world, including NatWest and Halifax. Of this, about £240,000 was successfully frozen by the banks.

Police involved in the investigation believe the amount the Nigerian national, actually defrauded could stretch into millions. He was jailed for five years at Hull for conspiracy to defraud between June 2004 and February 2008.

Police authorities are delighted the court recognised Taiwo as a big player in internet banking fraud. "For non-violent crime, five years is seen as a stiff sentence and it recognises the impact it has had on our banks in this difficult economic climate and the misery he caused to individuals. Evidence gained from his computers are still being investigated by the Serious Organised Crime Agency. The actual loss to the industry could ultimately run into millions of pounds."

Taiwo was finally caught after the IT manager at Grimley Smith noticed other people's bank account details on his computer and alerted the police. Officers found thousands of chat room conversations, emails and bank details stored on his home and work computers.

Simon Wayley, prosecuting, said: "This is international fraud on a grand scale, which he has been heavily involved in for a number of years. Money was dropped into accounts in Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, the US and Russia and more than £160,000 had been deposited into Taiwo's own personal bank accounts since 2006 from unknown sources."

The court heard one method he used was to set up a joint bank account with the customer, then transfer the money into an anonymous account. Another involved moving the customer's money from a savings account to a regular account, then setting up a fraudulent standing order. His targets are personal bank accounts, including a pension fund and even a clergyman's account.

Sentencing Taiwo, who moved to Hull to work in 2006, after graduating from The University of Manchester,

Judge David Tremberg, told him: "You played a heavily active role in an international conspiracy, in excess of 100 victims and dozens of financial institutions were put at risk. You have undermined public confidence in the safety of online banking." The Judge then recommended that Taiwo be deported to Nigeria at the end of his sentence. A proceeds of crime hearing is to be held to determine how much of the money he stole can be retrieved.

Detectives investigating Taiwo said they may never have caught him had he not taken his criminal activities to work.The 26-year-old Nigerian had set up a normal life in the UK, studying for a degree in civil engineering in Manchester before moving to Hull and getting a well-paid job at Grimley Smith in Brigg. But his lifestyle was a front for his criminal activity, as he was a major player in organised banking fraud. Taiwo was discovered when an IT manager at Grimley Smith became suspicious after noticing other people's bank account details on his computer screen at work. He contacted the police and, when detectives arrived at his workplace to arrest him, they discovered he had a hard drive concealed in a briefcase, on to which he was downloading information.

Det Sgt Chris Dawson, who led the investigation, said: "His criminal activity had become such a big part of his life at home that he had to start doing it at work, which was how he was caught. These people are very difficult to catch and it is really down to the IT manager in this case that he was caught initially. If he had not done it at work there is a chance he would still be doing it today."

After the sentence, Mike Smith, managing director at Grimley Smith, said: "In late February 2008, suspicious activity was detected on Adewale Taiwo's computer. We operate a state-of-the-art computer system with the latest security controls and monitoring systems and it was obvious that the activity was not related to our business as process engineers. We immediately notified the police, who responded very quickly and Taiwo was arrested." He said Taiwo was immediately dismissed for gross misconduct and was later charged with conspiracy to commit fraud. "I would urge any other company, large or small, to be vigilant and ensure that their computer systems are adequately protected against this sort of misuse," he said.

When police searched the computer equipment in his Hull flat, they discovered 211 files of information - one of which would be large enough to store the complete works of Shakespeare 364 times over. Within the files, officers discovered a comprehensive guide to internet fraud. Taiwo had information on all types of online fraud, from taking over people's accounts and transferring funds, to attempts to bribe bank employees for information. Police discovered he had links all over the world and a lot of the technology to commit this fraud was coming from Russia. He had about eight online identities and had set up online groups, including a Yahoo group called bank fraud, on which he swapped information and techniques with other users about how to infiltrate banks.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Polygamy and uncontrolled procreation are the reasons why Yorubas are falling behind in education and guess the religion of yorubas that are responsible for populating our streets with alayes without making adequate plans for their upkeep. Stop pointing fingers at the igbos and help yourself out. Change will never come if we don't accept the truth.

Why can't we modernise our writing and write on other cultures? Foreign writers do the same thing, comin in2 Africa and doin well here. Why can't we do the same thing here? We fail woefully when we try this. Anyway, I'm trying2change this with my smashing new hit novel, 'The Black Book.' You can all download half of the book4free at www.lulu.com/freedownloads

You are right. I've also wondered why our movies are limited to our culture. Why not make a picture or write a story that has a setting in an Australian city?
