phreakabit: You are blind. I said Judaism is independent in origin. not christianity. christianity is plagarized version of Judaism. I said plagarized version. I didnt say they are exactly the same. the only difference being, christianity propagates man version and is the more terrorist/evil form due to its proselytizing aims. |

Abagworo: I spent 5 years in the Nsukka environment during my university days and I can assuredly tell you that the Nsukka people are very proud Igbo people. I never for one day heard any of them deny being Igbo, not even one. Rather, it is other Igbo people from outside Igboland that try to classify them as non-Igbo because of the difficulty level of their dialect. Nsukka dialect itself is 100% Igbo but may not be easily decipherable to the first-time visitor, especially when spoken fast, like it was to me when I landed there newly. But when spoken slowly you'll understand what is being said. Over the course of my 5 years, I noticed that the people of Nsukka and neighbouring towns (enugu-ezike, orba, obolo afor etc) have developed a central nsukka dialect sort of with which they use to communicate with themselves whenever they meet, in contrast to the core respective dialects they speak in their villages. This central nsukka is easy to understand and speak, however the same cannot be said when they switch to their respective core native dialects. Oh boy! |

coolzeal: My dear, you'll be sorely disappointed to get to Nsukka land and feel the strong Igbo identity and vibes emanating from your place. Don't suffer a heart attack though. |

PAGAN 9JA: You are so demented to the point you hardly understand what you type, and base facts on your own ideologies and concepts. You really need to stay off whatever substance you are on. A Point you should note is : You and your fellow atheists aren't making any progress on this forum. |

How old are you? I think we are saying the same thing. The father was wrong in refusing to let the daughter marry just because the guy was Osu (big hypocrisy). In my place we have an Osu village so we always hear this gist of wedding plans getting foiled, and that's probably why though I am far younger than you I have experienced it more. Not everyone thinks like that sha, I agree that the mentality is changing big thanks to the efforts of the churches but fragments of it still remains in some communities. Abagworo: |

Where's your place and what's the name of the Osu village? I'm 30years old. I still want you to understand that in marriage a lot of beliefs is involved. In many rich homes, it is forbidden to marry from a poor family but I see nothing wrong with that because the poor still have other poor people to marry and so do Osus or Catholics have other Osus and Catholics to marry. |

PAGAN 9JA:. Phreakabit was right when he said that u harldly understand what u wrote. U earlier termed christainity dangerous cos of her proselytising aim. And here u are bragging over ur number of converts to ur paganism. Now can u state the diff. btwn the two religion? |

Ishsoph: . Phreakabit was right when he said that ur harldly understand what u wrote. U earlier termed christainity dangerous cos of it proselytising aim. And here u are bragging over ur number of converts to ur paganism. Now can u state the diff. btwn the two religion? I have every right to gain converts. Its my birthright as a Pagan. so many of my fellow Pagan brothers and sisters and ancestors have been converted to christainity at swordpoint/gunpoint or faced being ra.ped, tortured and murdered or simply burnt at the stake. we never did anything to them other than worship the Gods of our ancestors. 80 % of christians ancestors have been converted by unfair means. its payback time. |

PAGAN 9JA:. I find this hillarious. I have no qualms though wit ur choice of worship as our constitution handed the liberty to us. I only pointed out a percieved discrepancy in ur post whch to me undermines the logic of ur claims. On the part of forceful conversion by the christaindom against our brothers, I only say that true christains had had it all too. History is there to prove it. Just google christain martyres and get back to me. |

Just google christain martyres and get back to me. then there is no true christians. what martyrs? those bunch of thieving liars. they tried to stir revolts and colonize countries. they were preaching and trying to undermine and insult the Gods of the land. Imagine Pagans going and preaching in christian countries 50 yrs ago. (we dont do that but just saying) We would be killed. Just because our country didnt make martyrs of those christian missionaries, see how much we suffered and got looted. They spread discord in our country. look at Japan. the first missionaries that came to Japan to convert the Japanese were trying to stir rebellion among the Samurai and Shogunate. In the end what happened? Tokugawa Leyasu martyred and crucified all the missionaries and kicked them out. Because of that Japan was never colonized and retained its culture and was able to progress. It was the only non-european ethnic Nation to fight on fully equal terms in the WWII and not as slaves or pushovers. They have progressed and advanced so much today and they have mantained their standard,religions , Pagan culture and heritage and are one of the richest if not the best nation in the world. The Gods Bless the good thinking of Japans Rulers and its people. |

It was what christains xperienced in the hands of pagans that made them to ally wit them and adopt so many doctrins today that has no root in the bible such as xmas, easter, new year celebrations, trinity etc. If u doubt the above then europe should weep no more over this marriage of convinient!

I can only say that u beat d highest and equally cry d highest. they did not experience anything. We Pagans did not feed Jews to the Lions. We even except the Jewish Sarheddins decision and helped to execute them. During the battles against prophet muhammad, Jewish and Pagan Tribes fought side-by-side against the muslims. We never harmed them even though their beliefs are 100% against ours and they gave birth to christainity. We fed christians to the lions because they were trying to destroy our cultures and beliefs by proselytizing and trying to stir revolt among the masses. Look at Europe today. all the tribes have become extinct because of christainity. Great Tribes such as the Saxons, Jutes, Angles, Norse, Celts, Vikings, Visigoths, Britons, Goths, Franks, etc. WHERE ARE ALL THESE TRIBES? the answer is: christianity. Thankfully the same has no happened in Africa and our culture is still intact though its decreasing. you see how dangerous christainity is. |

salt 1: Good discovery. I never thought of it. I've never heard a name with the other tribes in it. The person you quoted is wrong. The Edo have numerous names where the ethnic group is mentioned within the name. I'm sure some other ethnic groups in Nigeria do it as well, but people who aren't from their ethnic groups just don't know much about their names. Nobody knows all the names that each ethnic group in Nigeria uses so a person can only guess what naming conventions and patterns other groups use unless they go and find out about those groups for themselves. |
