I've had arguments with several people in the past. Some of them were easy to defeat, while other were very stubborn. I later learnt that it was common knowledge that Ekiti people are had to defeat when engaged in arguments and i now realised that those people that were adamant in the past were from Ekiti. Is there a reason for this?

Thats because you sucks at it.

Ekiti dialect na die.
I no even dey wait make person use am talk to me.

For dream or for where?

Ekiti are very stubborn and love that my state sooooooooooooo much , Fayose,Fayemi and I may be the next and change my name from Adewale to Fawale

I'm quite disappointed. I expected to see Ileke as the poster. Yeye girl!

@OP Cmon son. This thread failed

i agree.they are very stubborn people.they do not accept defeat easily.

Don't know. I was in Ekiti State for the first time ever on saturday. All I saw was rocks, enormous rocks. Capisch!

@ Mobinga
The thread failed yet you left a comment. Doesn't that make a failure?

Of course we dont! After pounding yams everyday, why do you think we won't have the raw energy to argue. Ekiti ni ma ti ha jooooooooooor!

May God bless Ekiti people and our fathers that laid good foundation for us to follow. Ekiti people are knowledgeable, they know their right and they are ready at any time to claim it. Knows that winners dont quit and quitters dont win. Aba ri a agbe a oooooooooooo.

Where s Ileke? Talented @ arguement don turn commodity, Make una xport some na

i am an ekiti lady, but that doesnt mean i have never lost an argument, wining an argument is not a function of where you come from,
though i agree pple say ekiti pple are quite stubborn

If Nigeria were trading in "stubbornness", I think the processing plant will be sited in Ekiti, Just give it to them, they are second after none

As Ekitite, we accept our wrong doings, but if we are right we always stands on our points.

Laff wan kill me die!        Ekiti kete!

seconded.

Ekiti my nyash

people living in deep forest surrounded by mountains with dust brain.

what could be identifiable about them or make any sane person to quit arguing with them (assume to be defeat) if not for the fact that they spit on you when talking at you with their wide mouth.

what else could make those bush people been known in naija

they are too backwards and primitive when talking about states in naija from all aspect

@OP Cmon son. This thread failed

#epicFAIL ! ! !

Very true, even if you agree with Ekiti person he/she still argues the reason behind your agreement.

Ekiti Nor dey try.

So dump thread. i cant stop laughing, ekiti ni ekaete ko

they have nothing to offer naija, just one of those states we feed

Not always true, Its just that we don't like cheating and we don't settle for less. We crave for knowledge so as not to be deceived and we like to hold on to our beliefs.

WHERE IS ILEKE IDI This thread is not complete without her contribution, lol

It's not like they don't lose an argument. They just never it that they've lost the argument. Even if you present them with facts and figures, they'll keep arguing blindly.

feeling proud to be an ekiti person right now!

If only winning arguments translates into development, there is no difference in of development between Bayelsa and Ekiti, "The winner of an argument is not necessarily telling the truth"

@OP

There are constructive arguments and then there are mindless rantings of idle people looking to while away the time. Which of the two are you referring to?
I am an Ekiti man and we don't spend our lifetime arguing so at some point we must have lost an argument.
If you mean that Ekiti people due to their high literacy rates are good at adopting a sound logical basis for their arguments then yu're very right, why the hell I should accept an illogical point of view beats me and would require some serious convincing and headbanging on the part of the person putting forth such a view. 

May be u right!

I think Ekiti people are very inteligent and smart. They don't start argument without having enough points even if they know they are on the wrong side of the debate they still get holes out of their opponents.

sup babe, I think I know you.
@OP, is not about Ekiti people, its about temperance. Cholerics are great arguers and debaters; no one can be more biting or sarcastic.
