This thread is informative and educating which deserve digesting without being bored of reading it despite its volume unlike the dolphin kissing thing or baby showering stuffs! These are people that have carved a niche for themself in Nigeria through hardwork,intelligent and talent which is worth commending and emulating. Kudos to the trio. |

genieluv: My sister abeg help me ask them oo. Seriously, this stupid Nigerian culture where all the credit goes to the father is very very stupid. The mother owns the child as equally as the father does. U will see the father's people reject the mother and her child when the father dies, but tomorrow when the mother has managed to raise the child on her own and the child becomes succesful, all the stupid father's people will come out to start laying claims and the same uncles will sit down to collect the bride price if the child is a female. Where were Margaret's father's igbo people when her mother was struggling to raise her up? If Margaret's father's people were truly responsible, they would have collected Margaret from the mother when her father died, but they didn't, but when she became succesful, all of them wanted to lay claims. Thank God Margaret later married from her mother's side to further bind her lineage to her Efik-Ibibio roots, but see Margaret, her father's side even enjoyed more of her than her mother's side because almost all her works were based in Aba, and Aba women benefitted more from her. 1 Like |

Tell Dangote to come and pack all the hausa almajiri children from Jos, Minna, Abuja, Lafia, Bida, Wukari e.t.c before i can take u any serious.

PreciousBro: Margaret was not raised in Aba at all. Try to read her biography again. She was born and bred in Calabar, she only went to Aba later in life after she married. Aba was a centre of government in the old eastern region of which Efiks n Ibibios were part of and this was the reason why both Margaret and her Husband went to live in Aba. Efik definitely should be the language Margaret first learnt and not igbo, pls don't embarass yourself here. Mind u am not Efik nor Ibibio am an igala lady before u start insulting Efiks. |

kaura5000: See, u this hausa man, never u insult middlebelt people in your life because u people can never be better than us. The most successful women from Northern Nigeria were from middlebelt areas. People like late Hajiya Gambo Wasaba who fought and advocated for women's rights in northern Nigeria, she was Nupe by tribe. Ladi Kwali the only Nigerian woman to be on the naira note is a Gbagyi woman See other people like Sarah Nnazwa Jubril who was the first Nigerian woman to contest presidency, she was also a Nupe woman. U hausa-fulanis are too backward. Silly people, al u do is force extra large hijabs on ur women and deny them their rights, using them only as sex objects and u are here insulting middlebelters who are making waves all over Nigeria. foolish almajiri 2 Likes |

havennie: My dear if I were you, I'd hide my face in shame, it is clear you have nothing to bring forth. You confuse yourself with the bolded as though its a basis for argument, the article even gave credence more about her igbo side and nothing at all about her mother's efik ethnicity save for the fact that she was born in cross-river. Read below again. "She later joined the decolonization-leading National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), as a platform to represent a marginalized group. In the 1950s, she also teamed up with Funmilayo Ransome- Kuti to protest killings at an Enugu coal mine; the victims were leaders protesting colonial practices at the mine. In 1953, Ekpo was nominated by the NCNC to the regional House of Chiefs, and in 1954 she established the Aba Township Women's Association. Basically all her movement centred igbo towns, her knack for women rights and independence and strong willed self reflects igbo if you ask me. 2 Likes |

ianSweet: I said all her works and affluence she was identified with is aba related and her movement for women right stemmed from her works where she relocated to. Don't quote me again please. |
Re: The 3 Most Influential Nigerian Women That Ever Lived by havennie(f): 9:56pm On May 08, 2015 |
PreciousBro: Margaret's activities were more or less based in Igbo areas simply because she acknowledged the fact that Igbos were the major ethnic group in the old eastern region, so her influence on Igbos would make more influence in the region, nothing else. This was the same case with late Hajiya Gambo Wasaba, she also deserves to be on this list. Wasaba is a Nupe woman but she functioned from Kaduna, Zaria & Kano because Kaduna was the centre of the old regional northern region of which her own Nupe people were also part of. The Emir of Kano even had problems with Wasaba because of her fierce feminism strategies and he banned her from entrance into Kano for a period of time. Wasaba needed to function more in hausa land because Hausas were d major group in old Northern region and not because she had any attachment to Hausa. Till date Wasaba's family house remains in Zaria and all her children have been naturalized as indigenes of Zaria, Kaduna state but that doesn't make them hausa. Pls let us learn to get some facts right. We are not illiterates here. |

NCNC is sub group that stemmed from the political party founded by igbos then (correct me if I'm wrong) she couldn't have spoken English or Efik to the women in that eastern region as Nwafor that she was. This argument is ridiculous! LoL They were little or no information about ibibio or efik about her save for the fact she married one and was born in cross-river ,but more of igbo talks and igbo towns. Smh End this squirming display of embarrassment. She was more igbo than efik or ibibio. Y'all need to read the article again. |

The old regional system of govt did not favour we from minority groups. Hajiya Gambo Wasaba did all her campaigns and her agitation in Hausa language and not her own native Nupe language simply because hausas controlled the Northern region and she must blend in to gain acceptance. This was also same case with Margaret Ekpo. I bet if Funmilayo Ransome Kut had been a Bendelite, she would have functioned from Lagos or Ibadan which were the centres of the old western region and not Warri or Benin. Get d difference Nitwitt We minorities were like slaves in the old regional govt system, but thank God today nothing like that anymore. |

PreciousBro: Silly igbo boy Understand what havennie & IanSweet are trying to explain to u and stop bragging like a slowpoke. The regional system of government was what made Margaret Ekpo to function more from Aba and igbo areas. Where were the igbos when Margaret's Efik mother struggled to bring her up? Where were her igbo people when her ibibio husband helped her to realise her destiny and dream as a political activist? Where are igbos today when Efik people named their airport in Calabar after their beloved daughter Margaret? infact u people are supposed to hide ur faces on this thread instead of bragging unnecesarily here.

Havenine, please be guided by what is true and not what isn't written. The way you talk one can surmise you are older than the generation X. LoL Like you are not of this generation, Margaret Ekpo's I guess ? For you to say all these. First negating her paternity as though that isn't the origin we all know. ![]() Please I don't wanna sound harsh again. |
Re: The 3 Most Influential Nigerian Women That Ever Lived by havennie(f): 10:15pm On May 08, 2015 |
somegirl1: No! Wasaba did not have any single hausa origin. She's a real nupe woman born and bred by a strong Nupe mother in Nupe land. Bida is her homeland, yet she hardly did anything in Bida because she was fighting for all northern women, so she had to take her battle to the major centres of the old northern region. |
