Ibo Tribalists Are Attacking Me!

ol'boy ibo no loose anything if u waka, !!!!!

LNG boy there is nothing new in what you are experiencing. My travails on this forum are well documented. And someone even had the time to locate my phone number once in order to tell me not to go near Onitsha. . .

Birds of the same feather,  why am I not sure if you are really IBO, you both can take a hike.

The "Iboist" that sent me the hate-mail did so in ignorance. Because he mistook my username for my real identity by thinking that I am half Yoruba and half Ibo. My mother and father came from Umuahia. And I was a refugee child in Biafra. My mother was left alone to take care of us on her own during the bloodiest civil war in Africa from 1967 to 1970. My father was on the Federal side working in Lagos. He fought in World War 2 and knew that Biafra would be defeated. My parents lost three children. My father lost his younger brother, cousins and relatives and my mother lost her younger brother and others in the Nigerian civil war.

Anyone who thinks he is more Ibo than me is an ignorant fool.

I don't believe in Biafra or in the illusions of grandeur that Ibos are one of the lost tribes of Israel.

I am a Nigerian and I thank God for that and as most people know I fly the Nigerian flag proudly on my Nigerian Times blog and I have no apologies or regrets for being a proud Nigeria.

God bless Nigeria!   

LMFAO! Hahahahahaha!

I believe I have answered all questions you have ever posed me. That you are never satisfied with my answers is because you are not ammenable to the concept of a united Nigeria.

That my friend, is your problem, not mine.

@orinkinla
you had the guts to come up here and post this crap!!! , what do u want from us huh?, to pet u on the head and say sorry!!,  Fight your own battles, cause as far as am concerned, u probably made up this quote for whatever reason. The fact that you made up this quote or some ibo guy sent it to u (like u claim), does not change anything about igbos Ok, so please handle ur own vendettas and keep the igbo name out of your mouth since it seems you are not proud to be one of us

Please everybody stop calling yourself Yoruba tribe or Ibo tribe or the even bigger lie: Ethnicity's.

Calling them tribes is too damn good for them.

Call them gangs, that is all they are.

Then put an end to the gang violence of Africa.

Nutter,

I'se tired now.

I think we are going to have to face the fact that our African anscestors were tribe members and the only thing that exist in Africa that very slightly resembles the tribes of ancient times is a useless skeleton of gangs that is more of an albatross around the African neck, than a benefit that our anscestors intended.

A modern African trying to claim some relationship to the ancient tribes of our African anscestors, is telling a lie. A big one.

Let me give you a couple of examples:

Shaka Zulu devastated nearby tribes and took soldiers and women from those tribes. Do you really believe that the modern people of the tribe named Zulu, are Zulu's by blood?

No, their Zulu by some fiction whereby they have been saying their Zulu for years.

The same is true in Nigeria. Where now historians just from the white era can tell you how a lot of the tribes of Nigeria, are actually the descendants of Yourba's. Branches that broke off during white rule.

So what do these distortions that I am Yoruba or I am Zulu and you are Ibo really mean?

Absolutely nothing. Their meaningless. Their gangs. The crips and the bloods now. And they sit around fighting like teenage members.

You put on a purple shirt and have a big pow wow on tuesday, the next gang over puts on a yellow shirt and has a big pow wow thursday.

Big deal.

This is not culture nor is it African culture.

Nutter,

Can African culture be purchased at the store?

Can I purchase an African dress and an African mask and declare myself to be African?

Can I eat African food and declare myself to be African?

Is that what culture is? Something you can buy at Walmart or Kmart and Target?

Maybe if they sell African culture at Macy's, it makes it really African if it is expensive?

Is that what African culture is, something you eat, something you wear, something you buy?

Maybe we should pass out hand books and tell people,if you want to be part of the Ibo tribe, or Zulu tribe or Xhosa tribe here are the well articulated beliefs and values of African cultures.

A purple shirt on tuesday, a red paint for the funeral for the dead, and we sing this song after we drink.

Anybody who follows these rules is Ibo or Zulu!

Maybe African culture is genetic racism: A belief that something in our blood makes us different from those black people over there. Gee, our nose is thinner and their hips are wider, and we are taller.

Maybe we should tell our kids terrible lies like: Yoruba's are slutty and Ibo's are thieves and this makes us very different from them black people over there.

Exactly what do you expect me to recognize as culture or African culture? In all of this mess presented here?

The only true difference I see between all of you well defined articulated beliefs and values is the same difference between any American gang:

Geography:

East coast, West coast, This is our hood, this is our block.

This is not African culture.

Nutter,

African Culture:

The truly universal language of the world is it's beat, it's pulse, it's music.

Scientists have found that even the universe is NOISY. Although it may appear to us when we look up from the sky, that the universe is a place of stars and darkness and silence.

In fact scientists have found that the universe is making all kinds of noise. It is making it's own music. It has a sound.

And as you know on earth, everything from the minutest insect to the birds above, to the whales in the ocean, to the wind, the trees, EVERYTHING.

Is making music. Music is the universal language.

As the whiteman said upon arriving to the coast of Africa: These people are the most naturally musical people in the world.

It's not one musical style, that defines us.

It is the fact that our music drops bombs every where it goes.

If it hits South America as slaves, it comes back as Latin Music today.

If it hits America as slaves, it comes back as the mostly widely listened to music in the world.

If it hits Europe, it produces Beethoven.

If it hits the farms of the south, white boys will be proud of picking the Banjo for centuries (african instrument).

If it hits India -- the same.

My point is that it is not the type of music, it is the Spiritual aspect that is important.

What you can not see and feel that Blacks are very good at translating. We are in rhythm with the whole universe.

Where other cultures don't seem to have that ability to communicate with the universe.

And they even recognize it in US, that we do. This is why they know that we have SOUL and they themselves are SOULLESS.

My point is this, the music comes from something WITHIN US, that is UNSEEN.

That which is unseen is the culture.

The outcomes -- Rap, Latin Music, the Beats, Opera, Classical, etc.

Are the seen but NOT THE CULTURE.   

The unseen -- is the reason black people know in our heart of hearts that the idea that you are better than me is utterly ridicolous since we are one.

The unseen -- when others come around black folks they get it, and they know it, even when we talk badly to them, they know it is not in our power to remove them from the cloth that has weaved them in. So thus they can stay and be called a white girl but they can stay.

There is no way for us to be selfish about it, it desires to be shared. And this is why once they go black, they never go back. Nobody who has experienced it, can ever leave it for good.

Nobody who knows about it, can then work in a different culture without feeling the loss of it.

We all bow our heads to it. We all want desparately for folks to see it and realize they only hurt themselves by being mean to it and trying to destroy it.

That is our Black culture.

Nutter,

Yes, I am alright now. Feeling much better. Thank you for asking.

I gave up the caffiene recently and it is making me wake up with headaches and feeling tired (no pep me up caffiene for me), so I have been a little more tense.

Just say no to drugs.

How are you?

Re: Ibo Tribalists Are Attacking Me! - they Should Stop wasting their tyme attacking ya and kill U instead

mrmayor,


Your missing the point. I am claiming that the idea of tribes and tribal membership in Africa.

It's dead. It died out with our ancients.

There are no tribe members, in otherwords, because of the great distortions and change that have unfolded in Africa. We are only playing at being a member of this or that tribe.

There is no religious, land, blood reason for this tribal mess to continue. We are too mixed up now. This was my point about having Zulu and a nearby tribes blood.

All that is really happening now, is whites have taught the people in Africa to fight over goods and cash based on their ethnic group.

i.e. the same way that a gang members used to fight over their block, because that means their gang can control the money for that area.

Read this: http://www.africaaction.org/bp/ethall.htm


Good idea. Let's all just quit our little small tribe and join the big tribe.

I suggest that the name of this bigger tribe the smaller tribes shall be absorbed into shall be called Black People or Africans, whatever you prefer.


LOL Mrmayor, you must in fact know that this is ALREADY being claimed by Muslims. Not Arabs but Muslims. So I take it you are being funny? You can put Muslims conquering the America's into your search engine right now.

Your reasoning is flawed in many respects. The denial of our very nature, our identity, will do nothing but help those wanting to sow the seeds of discord among the many, great people of Africa! You have all the worrying attributes of these neo-colonialists. It will thus be ill-advised to take your advice!


1. It matters little to me whether you choose to be nice or not. I am ONLY concerned with the truth being told.

2. You still haven’t answered my questions.

3. I care very little for an Ebonic apology at this point. Your condescending statements were made in plain English. It follows therefore that you make your apologies in the same manner. Yes, the people of Africa deserve an unreserved apology, tendered in the plainest English you can bring yourself to muster.

4. How dare you laugh? This is all a big joke to you, isn’t it? Well, it isn’t to me. I was trying to be calm about it all but your laughter has just set me off. I cannot see the ‘funny’ side when my very roots are equated to gangster life on the many graffiti-defaced, pee-lined street corners of the United States. The minute you made those statements, you were treading very dangerous ground. Your sorry situation has just been compounded by your lackadaisical attitude.

Up until your comparison, I was of the opinion that you were quite clever. Some have alluded to this fact even though I was, as yet, not confronted with the fallouts of your intellect – or lack thereof. I however have to state, quite clearly, that your analysis/portrayal/comparison is the most ignorant piece of convoluted thinking that I have ever had the displeasure of reading since the last time I visited a pro-Nazi site. You either have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about, or you have simply been masquerading in the garb of a black freedom fighter, with the ultimate goal of infiltrating our ranks and finding the most opportune moment to spew your tired, racist rhetoric. Either way, you leave quite a lot to be desired. It seems to me that your condescending attitude towards the people of Africa stems from an extraordinarily patronising aptitude which rests below the deepest layer of prehistoric crudity. You remind me of the ignorant Europeans and Americans who have a simplistic view of all things African. One would have thought you’d know better.

This has been an utter waste of my time. Sometimes I wonder why I bother.

Drusilla,

You don't live in an African reality,I live in a big tribe called NIGERIA within this big tribe there smaller ones with different languages,customs,foods.
If in a geographical expression called Nigeria how would you describe over a 100million people with over 250 languages,customs,gods.
