Banega is still a student. I don't know the meaning of that word you used there o. Buh I still don't mind, I love the babe.
So are there implications for marrying osu?

There are adverse implications when a Freeborn Igbo marries an Osu Igbo. When their bloods mix in "holy matrimony" grin grin, the freeborn automatically becomes an Osu and will forever be treated like an Outcast. They would both be restricted to a specific, minimal rung in the social and political Ladder...

On the other hand, when a Yoruba like you marries an Osu like Banega, nothing go happen at all! Na to dey enjoy her "Otuu Ocha" dey go...and live happily ever after!

While I appreciate the poster's pride in his rich heritage, I think there's a bit of arrogance and toe smashing in his brilliant write up



Let's be honest, I'm Yoruba, you're Igbo, if there's war today, ordinary people like you and I will bear the brunt while the stoopid politicians and power drunks will reap hugely from it



I myself don't like Nigeria as a nation, but sod! Sh1t happens



Let's rise above all these petty nonsense





I feel ashamed of myself when I see my Igbo friends and remember most of the sh1ts I write here

odinma1: Igbos are the problem with Nigeria. I stopped reading the thrash by the OP when he said-why are other tribes persecuting Igbos? What a ridiculous claim.

Most of my Igbo people on NL are pompous, have zero interpersonal skills, day dreamers and ungrateful human beings.

Ndigbo are wonderful people generally, come to Awka and see proper Igbo people. Respectful and not boastful.

A country with so many different tribes doesn't need any tribe claiming to be the alpha tribe, I've seen this with both igbos and Yorubas. Everyone really needs to compromise and tolerate each other, these are the key factors to every successful relationship.

Zoharariel:

@OP & his fellow Biafrans - Pls, I want my questions below answered truthfully & constructively

1.) If the Igboland is truly not landlocked, Y are they trying so hard to claim Lagos as a no mans land or even their father's heritage? Y do they not go & also lay claims to Abuja, Kano & PortHarcout?

2.) Y are the Igbos always bitter towards Awolowo & the Yorubas generally inspite of the hospitality & opportunities they enjoy in the South West?

3.) Y do the Igbos find it difficult to curtail their domineering nature & waywardness described by Sir Armadu Bello & written about in "The Bitter Truth About The Igbos by Femi Fani Kayode" rather than always launching verbal assaults & being belligerent towards their fellow Nigerians from other ethnicity?

Igbo Mods & Super Mods may ban me but b4 then answer my questions 1st!
above all why do igbo people use clothing materials furniture makers use in making chairs to make clothes?

Why did you respond to that. That guy (odinma) is a proper Nylon-sh1ting Yoruba from muddy village of oshogbo with an Igbo name. He's very popular in the politics section.

Always never respond to such goons. Allow us to the talking. Thank you.

80% of the comments of this beautiful thread is related to abuse and hatred, can't we love one another? and appreciate the fact that we are 1 Nigeria, our leaders might have sinned against each other in the past but must we go down the same lane of blood sharing and hatred? Let's forgive our mistakes, embrace peace, stop religious and tribal wars, if you don't know Nigeria belongs to 3rd class countries, yet we beat our chest as gaint of Africa and lay claims to our in diaspora with American and British passports(em gonna wanna) who can't speak in his/her mother tongue, even the Hausas that has been in charge of this country since 1960 don't brag like Igbos and Yorubas, what God has joined together let no Awolowo or Buhari or Ojukwu put assunder, God bless Nigeria and if you object to this, may you face the wrath of God almighty. The Land is Green for me. Live and let us live.

What do Igbos think of technological advancements? I know that many renowned Igbo people like Phillip Emeagwali have been pioneers in their own right. Do Igbos think we as a nation can put a man in outer space by 2015?

Please don't mind all these people that are here shouting 'dominate', 'dominate'. They do not speak for all the Igbo people. I wonder why somebody will see trouble and be rushing into it. That one na foolhardiness.
