Nowenuse: Hard to pick one - at the moment. My most admired or influential wouldn't be any of your three. But, amongst your 3, I am most interested in the potter, Mrs. Kwali. I hadn't heard much about her so far. I like your initiative. Nice topic for discussion, OP. ![]() You overreached a little when you described it as "a very realistic list." Whose realism? Whose objective research? What criteria? You also limited it to women who all lived in the same century. Maybe going back a little in time would have enlightened some and broadened the history to show women were doing great things before colonisation. Ultimately, I see it is a good thread of "Nowenuse's 3 most admired women." Overall, A2. ![]() Women Rule; Black Girls Rock! Thanks for playing. ![]() 1 Like |

Nowenuse: They know all this but their greediness and attache by force would not allow their clouded brain to agree with you. Typical example of this is Yemi Alade who is Yoruba via her Father and Igbo via her mum but if you listen to her music, it all radiate Igbo culture simply cos she was brought up by her mum in the East. Despite d fact that her father is a Yoruba man and has her full name in Yoruba; everything about her radiate nothing but Igbo culture. 1 Like |

shame on all NL tribalists who dont know what it means to be a Nigerian...who were never taught and do not understand what patriotism means....these women stood for the Nation called "Nigeria" a collective stance of different ethnic groups........what a lost generation trying to tear their legacy apart!...... |
Re: The 3 Most Influential Nigerian Women That Ever Lived by dotune(m): 7:47pm On May 08, 2015 |
Lol. If ethnicity and tribalism can cause commotion on NL, just know that it is really a serious problem in Nigeria itself. |

CaptainOjemba: Margaret probably learnt Igbo later in life as her works were based in Aba, but her native and first language remained Efik. The write up noted that Margaret had a huge set back in her education and life at the time of her father's death. If her father's uncles stood by her, it wouldn't have been as bad as it was. |

If Lady Ekpo was born by an Igbo fathers then she's Igbo. What is fascinating is the fact that her mother had so much influence over her zthat she raised her to rep the SS and even got her married to the SS. Mothers can be a great influence over their wards. So are u planning to be one? 2 Likes |

kaura5000: U must be a very useless monkey. How do u hausa-fulanis surpass we middlebelters? in begging & almajiranchi? So because of Dahiru Awaisu Kuta u conclude that Gbagyi muslims outnumber the christians? then u must be an slowpoke. What about people like David Umaru and Shem Zagbayi? David Umaru contested governorship and won if not for rigging in 2007 elections but today he is a senator while Zagbayi was an ex deputy governor now acting Senator. So u see that Gbagyi christians still surpass the muslims in the politics of Niger state. stupid almajiri beggar. 2 Likes |

havennie: Perhaps the ones who stood by her couldn't help at the time and she returned to school when they were able to. Perhaps, perhaps. We weren't there so we'll just have to take the available accounts of her life as they are. She's part Igbo, that can't be disputed. |

dotune: She rep-ed Old Eastern Nigeria not SS (there was no such classification at the time) or Efiks, if you choose to go down to the ethnic group. SS have nothing solid in common. They haven't an intertwined history if we are to be honest. 1 Like |

somegirl1: I watched one of her interviews in anticipation of seeing some Yorubaness in her but bro, she is completely influenced and lost to Igbo culture. She ll look awkward in the midst of Yorubas. Even Chidinma is more Yoruba than Yemi Alade |

PreciousBro: Seriously i used to have respect for u igbos as a middlebelter but it seems that respect is now dwindling because of the reactive, hypertensive and silly character of u igbos sometimes. If u read d quote well u will clearly see that i was just trying to pull the legs and make a slight joke with the person i quoted and not deserving of the insults u are throwing at me u silly scallywag. Do u actually know what mother's tongue/native language means? It purely means the language u first learn from birth and have fluency first. Margaret spent her entire childhood & teenagehood in Calabar with her Efik mother, so she learnt to speak Efik first as her 1st language before she probably later learnt Igbo due to her later works in Aba. Margaret had married first before she and her husband migrated to settle in Aba. try to read and comprehend u silly man before u start reacting at the slightest deemed threat. 2 Likes |

somegirl1: Yes of course her Yoruba ancestry is undeniable but like I said earlier, during the interview, everything about her success was completely influenced by Igbo culture. The Yoruba ancestry of Yemi Alade ll continue to be part of her but trust me, her Igboness is obvious to d blind and audible to the deaf. If not cos of her name, nobody ll ever take her serious |
Re: The 3 Most Influential Nigerian Women That Ever Lived by PreciousBro: 8:12pm On May 08, 2015 |
havennie: This is the reason I say you have an IQ of a retaarded house fly, always around shiit because I'm very certain you pulled that out of your yansh! The article didn't tell us she learnt igbo later in life as you put. And her native tongue first is her father's side for identifying as igbo by her paternity side which is her origin. The article talked more of her affluence in Aba, igbo town ,given the fact that she was partly and mostly raised there, hence her works and association with her igbo lineage. Like someone said, she couldn't have spoken efik to umu nwayi aba" lol You are ridiculous with your incessant and embarrassing claim of her being more efik and ibibio than igbo. 1 Like |

cutietokunbo: Exactly. That solves the issue of Margaret Ekpo's ancestory. She is part Igbo, end of. Children will usually gravitate towards their mother's culture, whether or not their father is present. It is one of the perks of being a mother. 1 Like |
Re: The 3 Most Influential Nigerian Women That Ever Lived by PreciousBro: 8:17pm On May 08, 2015 |
havennie: Shut that spoiled afang soup infested mouth of yours. Mother tongue is your parental language, could be father of mother's side. You are too quick to deny the paternity side because of obvious reasons stated in your post as you have admitted your dearth of respect for the igbos. I discerned it in your foolish post. I'm very certain you lack respect for your paternity lineage and men in general hence your feminist approach to negating ones origin and paternity . 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: The 3 Most Influential Nigerian Women That Ever Lived by PreciousBro: 8:23pm On May 08, 2015 |
I don't get that whole partly thing that people sling about. Nonsense! I am for balance. You first and foremost identify with your father's side as its your origin. I don't attach my self to imaginary things like self delusions, its condescending. Yemi alade to me is yoruba, hell she doesn't even in the slightest way look igbo to me. Brown skin and all. I don't do attachee. |

havennie:Stop.Am here already.Mrs.Ekpo is an Igbo married to Efik man.I have a cousin Ukeme by name,but he doesnt know a single Igbo word.But i learnt he is from Owerri.His father was working with NPA calabar,and later got employed in HR department in QIT here.the man was already married from his place,with kids.But coming here,he got along with my Dad's sister,and ukeme was the fruit of that relationship.Today,the man is aged and Ukeme a grown up.But he still bears his surname Ihemtuga.Last year Xmas,grandma forced him to go see his father,and know his people.Ukeme has money to buy land and build anywhere,he cant speak Igbo,but grandma and our family knows that UK is 'aju unege' as we do call igbos.so,that Ekpo grew up anywhere,partenity is the source of origin by birth. |
