Nigeria= Nigger area


LOL

Sparkle777:
Wait ooo. The writer said that the eboes are fair in complexion,some almost white. Where did the fairness come from? Does it mean,no other tribes had fair ppl?

ImperialYoruba:
Ibos are rejoicing because the slave master called them ni..ers. Slave owners place more worth on their dogs and treat it better than they do even their house slave. Ibo n.ig.gers are jubilating on the account of a cruel slave holder celebrating their value in the field.

Chukwu okike abiamo!!

Ramnon2:





Well! Well!! Well!!! Can anyone interprete what the bolded portion means: It means even if the Ibo man is angry, he must not be punished for it because he is the best you can get, unless you want to destroy your own house. This is a message for Nigeria

pazienza:
Beautiful thread. The good niggers", obviously don't agree with the author, but that is to be expected.

70% of Igbos are not light skinned. Just about 20% are "truly" light skinned,the Rest falls within the spectrum of hues that lie between "truly light skinned" and "truly black skinned" .

Ramnon2:
Something on the Yorubas on page 103

Summary: The people (speaking about Yoruba) near the coast are more barbarous than those of the interior

wisdomguy4u:
This explains a lot. No wonder in Nigeria, the Igbos are hated and tagged as trouble makers, yet they will not let them go, because they can't live without them.

I stumbled upon this thread and noticed that no one had properly addressed this brilliant comment. The emboldened statement is very correct. However, what you seem to have missed is the author's description of certain non- Igbo groups, including yours, as "good niggas" i.e the subservient and compliant ones.
Indomitability and stubbornness, traits attributed to enslaved Igbos, aren't quite compatible with a servile dispostion.

The joke's on you.

OPCNAIRALAND:


The proof for your claim is deficient in historical records or legacy left behind in cultural synergy of the American society where attributes comprise of donations from Yoruba, Italian, Irish, English, Hispanics, Dutch and Jewish customs.

Point to me any deity, cuisine, fashion, worship or divinity assimilated from Ibo culture.

The joke is bumped back to you!

OPCNAIRALAND:


When a white man extols a slave it means the nigger is a good slave worthy of keeps. What makes a good slave? Obedience, simple! Yessa Massa!

In Haiti, the Dahomeans and Ashantis revolted. In Bahia the Yorubas revolted...to the point that many were repatriated out of Bahia and back home to West Africa rather than risk another uprising and victory in the hands of slaves.

It shows what Iboes have always been, and what they are till today .....a people perfectly endowed for servitude!

The "Eboe nigger," was from a fine open country, above the delta of the Niger,.........he was trusty, intelligent and industrious, but remarkable for an absolutely indomitable spirit, to which even the master must yield, when the Eboe was aroused, unless he should choose to shoot down the best slave on his plantation........

somegirl1:


You either have comprehension or memory problems or you're simply clutching at air to save face. This was your comment that I responded to:


I simply agreed with what you said and pointed out the article described Igbos as the very opposite of the emboldened. In case you missed it, See excerpt below. Joke is still on you.

OPCNAIRALAND:


The narrative is given in the Ibo native land, the only one the author is familiar with.

My response is a review of those qualities against the background where the stated Ibo qualities is genuinely available for inspection and reporting. No where is more proper than in the Americas. The indomitability of Ibo failed to show itself when faced with real life challenges that demands strength of character and physique. We see the strength of Yoruba in the Americas. Had the author visited the Yoruba native land as he did the Iboland he would not have reported Ibo in the positive.

Prime evidence is for you to go and review two great narrators of the Southern peoples land and customs - Bascom, Lander.

Joke is turned to you, shake it off!

The oyinbo man described you guys as half civilized.and Yorubas as civilized. How can half civilized developed the civilized.

He went further to described you guys as oyinbo ass lickers and you think that is worth celebrating.

Why do you guys want validation, why don't you let your success speaks for you.
