You guys should ignore eko ile.He is an in bred.A dirty Yoruba pig.A product of an incestous relationship.A shriveled maggot.This bastard and tribalistic moderators will never ban him because he is one of them.Eko ile,may the gods strike you with leprosy

Fani Kayode is simply playing to the gallery the way i see it. He's one man that knows how to hop on the latest finest bus to gain some kind of credibility. If he's not talking about the power of Igbo women in Government, he's joining the subsidy protest. Now his latest gimmick to deceive unsuspecting citizens. If he loved what Ojukwu fought for, then why did he join the gang of thieves in aso rock to loot the treasury. Why was he the mouth-piece of the corrupt government saddled with the responsible of assassinating people lyrically. Anybody who takes this guy seriously is a tool.

Yoruba singing praise of igbos because he thinks an igbo man is in power.
They have no principles. They just follow whichever way the wind is blowing.
Stand up for yourselves for once!
Slave mentality.

FEMI FANI-KAYODE is see your life,you are a bad politician and a renegade

FFK!Its not too late nah!All you have to be is bornagain>hold tenaciously what you belief.

Guys do not trust that guy FFK too much he has a caustic tongue. Do not be surprised he may turn round and deny the speech and even start to abuse the late Ikemba. That guy's mouth is super baaaaaaad you are warned.

this matter dom pass me I dey laugh in swahili

akuna matata

Yoruba vs Igbo

watch out for part 2

FFK still remain a yuroba product,and a fine man who admired good thing.

What a political statement by Fani Kayode?

Thanks to Femi. To All Igbos (who naively do not understand Igbo by accepting "Igbo enwe Eze) and to the whole world . this is my main point of interest  from the piece
"He told me that unlike the Yoruba the Igbo were republican in nature and very independent-minded and that an Igbo father could not easily dictate to a son what his career should or should not be"

I am Igbo and understand the culture well, interpret it from contemporary world concept. Igbo is highly Republican than any Western or African culture.

rip ojukwu

yaribas and other groups are learning from igbos

Ejiné:

By the way, Onlytruth, take no offense, but I think you're unnecessarily sentimental and easily deceived.

All ibos are sentimental and easily deceived.

If I run for election today, add Okechukwu to my name, throw in a few heroic balderdash about Ojukwu. I will have them eating out of my hands! What a people!

Thank you for your kind words about Ojukwu, You had the opportunity to contribute your quota in the development of this country, did you do the right thing?

You can wear every meaningful and non-meaningful Igbo names on your dilapidated body surmounted on a dirty leatherwork, you will never win position of a dog catcher in Igbo land. How can Igbo man eat from a hand of a deluded and malnourished bigot?

It is an age long thing that many people tend to construe republicanism nature of Ndigbo as sentimental. Igbo people tend to differ in thought with other ethnicities in Nigeria and it has been manifested in business or other human endevors. Undoubtedly, it has led to ludicrous misjudgment of the actions of Ndigbo.

I fully understand understand where Femi Fani-kayode is comming from. Most black people on this planet wished they were Igbos. That Igbos are republicans is a given fact. I had a Yoruba room mate in my University days in naija. One day his father visited. Kayode, that's his name fell to the ground and lay down flat with his hands stretched out, face to the ground as a way of greeting his father. I was shocked. I did'nt know what to do. I could not bring myself to lie flat on the ground for him. I had to shake his hand. That is the way i greet my own father whenever he visits.
So FFK has a point there. Igbos are the freest of Nigerian tribes. And of course the most intelligent. By intelligent, i don't mean book. just plain natural intelligence. The type that people like Steve Job or Bill Gates have.

Different strokes for different folks. Prostrating to an older person is a way of showing respect, that is all. I guess you will be equally shocked if a Japanese old enough to be your grandpa bows to you in greeting, right?

He stood firm when others ran,

I thought Abidjan was not in Enugu

Add money to the mix and I will have 100% Indigbo votes. I can even put my pet dog on the ballot if possible and he will get votes too.

birdman:

RFK, aka Fani Power was flogged and jeered mercilessly by soldiers in front of his whole family, including his  young son FFK. I sometimes wonder if FFK ever recovered from the trauma. Even among Nigerian politicians, dude is one glib talker

You never knew, on the opposite, his experience or your socalled trauma made it easy for him to be able identify a real man (IRRESPECTIVE OF TRIBAL LEANAGE), as the one who risk his own life in order to defend the defenceless, just is his father was flogged and jeered before his eyes, trying to protect his defenceless family.

Whether successful or not doesnt matter, what counts is the action and not the result bty any chance.
Unlike some of you that call black a white, just because the black is not of your tribe.
What a terrible life that must  be.

Shut up your putrid mouth for a second in the time. Yoruba will roll on the flooded floor because of the sign of money. If you are poor in Yoruba land, you do not get prostrated greetings. But if you flaunt money, a Yoruba will roll on the wet floor while shouting baba and kabiasi to the mix.

No, i will not. Taking a bow is certainly not the same as falling flat face to the ground. We all bow to the queen or stand up when a judge or reverend father enters the court or church. That is simple courtesy. Lying fully stretched out on the ground is dehumanising, degrading and intended to subdue. I do not want to subdue, nor degrade my child. Anyway, you are entitled to your culture.

That is the koko. I've heard stories about how you wake up your elders with a kick to the groin. You are also entitled to that, this is what I meant by different strokes for different folks.

I lived in Yoruba land for years and believed little to be informed about rituals in the greetings. Also, I had the opportunity to travel far and around Yoruba land. If you are very rich and could flaunt the money, you will definitely receive elaborated floor rolling greetings regardless if you are Yoruba or not.

However, if Owo is hard to show face, you can forget the roll on the floor and be lucky if you receive ordinary lip service of “Ekushie”.

Dede1, if nobody prostrated for you, it is most likely because of your sour attitude. Not because you weren't rich. There are some things money cannot buy in Yorubaland, unlike iboland.
Even if you are rich, with this your attitude, you will only get Yoruba dogs to use your legs as fire hydrants.

Dede 1 is 100% correct. I've seen it happen. No Yoruba banker prostrates to an elder bus conductor.

Yoruba boys not only prostrated to me, they used to wipe my car with their shirt just to get a few coins.
Shameless tribe.

It's more like Anini singing one's praise
