Somegirl, Africans did not sell other africans into slavery that is a white mans lie and he has made sure to educate black children in school to believe this. Ok, then the Igbo did not sell off your ancestors. Somegirl, what is the name of that Albino topic we were in? I have something to post there, I think you will like it Can You Get Married To An Albino? http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=25260.msg648922 |

The tendency for people to generalize about tribes, race or colour is extremely dangerous and divisive.
As an Igbo man who lived through many of the crises that a lot of people take for granted, it is utterly despicable for anyone to blame the image Nigeria has on the Ibos.
I especially take exception to Sista who clearly knows little about the history of Nigeria or the Ibos - or how else do you interprete her comments about the Ibos cuddling with the Bristish. Pray, when did this happen? The British were clearly on the side of Nigeria during the civil war, and have never shown any favours to the Ibos in their dealings with Nigeria.
The Igbos have been extremely tolerant of the abuses the Nigerian state has made them bear, more than 35 years after the end of a genocidal war that saw a lot of us lose loved ones - a war, we must make clear the Ibos did not start (even with the attempt of revisionists to change the facts of history).
I do not make generalizations about others, and if a Yoruba or Hausaman or other tribe or race say they are the most brilliant, enterprising, beautiful etc., so be it. It is their God-given right to say so, just as it is the right of my Ibo sister, babyosisi to make the same statements, without being attacked.
And when humans are talking,we have a subhuman of no descent opening her mouth wide.
@ babymama with a drama,keep ranting and raving.
I hope you don't get a heart attack on Nairaland with the way you're carrying on,no Nigerian is losing any sleep on my boastings,I'll understand them if a Yoruba man said the same things but your pediatric akata brain riddled with inferiority complex cannot comprehend it and I don't expect it to.
You must be proud of your stupidity. |

I am afraid you did not read all of my post in this topic, I was responding to things that Babosisi said which had nothing to do with her God given right as an Igbo woman.
As far as the Igbo cuddling with the British go, I made that statement based on my knowledge of British colonialism in Nigeria, British in direct rule.
It was the Igbo who took so called advantage of the so called education the British had to offer when no other tribes had nothing to do with the British. As a result, when the British left, they left the Igbo in charge. It is my opinion based on the Attitude some Igbo have that they feel they are the chosen ones by God because whitey chose them to rule Nigeria in place of him during that time. Some of them have carried this attitude into the present. If you are Igbo, I wouldn't expect for you to put yourself into the shoes of the Yuroba and Hausa. It would be considerate of your brothers and sisters if you could but I can't make anyone do something they do not care to do for what ever reason.

Did blacks now sell off blacks into slavery or not?  Otherwise, Sista, I think what Babyosisi wants to tell you is that horrible things happened to both African slaves sold off and Igbo people in Nigeria and that denying the suffering of the Igbo is comparible to denying the suffering of the African Americans. Even a Yoruba friend of mine once said that the Igbo did and still are suffering in Nigeria. Other tribes are suffering too. Just so you know or remember. other small tribes.  If this was then,sista would have definitely been sold for half a shilling or given away without money.
She is worth next to nothing.

It is clear that some Igbo discriminate against other tribes because the Igbo are not letting anyone by property in their land accept for the Igbo themselves. @SomegirlOk, then the Igbo did not sell off your ancestors. No somegirl, the Igbo did not sell Africans into slavery nor did any other African but that is what black children in American schools have been taught. I only said what I said to Babble mouth to get her to see how ridiculous it is for her to play with something like Africans who were stupid enough to get sold into slavery. She say's she is a good christian woman, I wondeer what that means?

Like you, I disagree with many things Sista says - well, maybe more with HOW she says them - (Sista, if you wish to discuss this with me, feel free to do so  ). However, you both are human beings and, to me, it doesn't seem like any of you has done anything as horrible as to deserve being called "worth next to nothing".

@ Sista, which history book/s have you read on Nigeria. I suspect this will be the second time on this forum that I will be making an effort to correct your rather mistaken quotes on African history (the first being your comments on another thread that no Africans were involved in the Civil rights movement). Firstly, the Ibo were not the first tribe to be British-educated (as a group). This honour belongs to our Yoruba brothers, and they are rightly proud of this. Secondly, NO BRITISH LEFT THE IBO IN CHARGE at independence. The British appointed Abubakar Tafewa Balewa, a Fulani from Northern Nigeria, as the first Prime Minister on 29 August 1959 and he was subsequently elected during general elections in Nigeria on the 12th of December 1959, preceding our Independence on 1st October 1960. The ceremonial post of 'President' (similar to the current model in Israel) was given to the Ibo (Nnamdi Azikiwe), not by the British, but by the winning coalition during these general elections. I would advise that you visit the site below, to learn more about Nigerian history from 1000 A.D. to date. http://www.ngex.com/personalities/voices/balukonigeriaevents.htmI take umbrage with anyone who attempts to belittle the suffering of my Ibo people, or for that matter, any oppressed people, including the minority tribes in Nigeria and AA in the US. Your feeble attempts at getting support for your views from my Yoruba and Hausa brothers, by stating that they have been tolerant of the Ibo is ludicrous. As a child, I witnessed the slaughtering of close relations, during and after the civil war (every imagineable reason is given to kill Ibos), spent 2 years in a refugee camp in Gabon suffering from malnutrition and without seeing my parents, brother and sisters - yet I survived. I bear, till today, the scars of this experience and you have the audacity to speak about how the Ibos are responsible for their problems. What, in your experience, can justify the slaughtering of another race/ tribe like cows? What do you know about the suffering of the Ibo before, during and after the civil war, when their hard-earned property in various parts of the country were confiscated and handed over to other tribes as 'abandoned property'? What country talks of reconciliation, without as much as addressing the continued slaughter of one tribe - and the only issue a Yoruba brother can raise here is that 'they have not slaughtered as many Ibos as the Hausas'? Where is the justification for the continued 'tolerance' of the Ibos, as you put it, when at the slightest grievance our shops and houses are burnt by other tribes? When have the Ibo initiated a massacre of any other tribes in Nigeria, or even retaliated, in equal measure, to the massacre of their people? If AA history was 'twisted' to speak about tolerance by the whites, you would be shouting until you got hoarse, and yet you belittle the suffering of others with your flippant comments. Our African and AA brothers who led the Civil rights movements would turn in their graves to see an AA sister misrepresent the suffering of any people.As you would observe, my anger in this case is boundless and I take personal offense at your effrontery in speaking about matters you know little about. |

@ Sista, I wait for your return - but please stick to the facts about Nigerian history, after you have taken time off to consult and read a little more.
PS - I spent a number of my early and later (post-war) childhood days in the US, and all my folks are still there. I have a very healthy respect for the struggles of AA people, and for your information (and you may check this - ask your uncles and aunts), AA were the groups that offered the greatest support for the cause of Biafra (the nation the Ibos tried to form). The British, MOSTLY sided with Nigeria, due to selfish economic interests they sought to protect.
No right thinking Ibo man/ woman considers that the Bristish were or have ever sided with us!!!!!!!!!!
Your comments bring shame to the efforts of your people (who I consider as true African brothers and sisters).

To Sista,
I 've been a gentleman, to make you shut up but you can't , you called me a hypocrite and whatever, you spent a lot pages on this forum, talking about me and my family, what a surprising thing to have done by somebody whom Immediately Babyosisi mentioned your family you started complaining, your ranting about the Igbo's lately has a lot to do with this your discursions below on one of your threads, which unfortunately did not work out, who is the hypocrite?, is it me?, when i came to this forum, I made it clear that my wife is white and tryed to share my experiences with my people, then it must definitely be you who came here in pretext of loving black people. Initially you thought every one that is good to you wants to marry you, and now that you 've seen you are wrong, you went neurosis and you are spreading all the shxt around, you have to be hournest I ve taken enough shxt from you not to do these.
These is you discusion in one of your threads for your perusal: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Sista
@ To all
check this out, yall keep talking about how us Black Americans was not born and bred in Africa, So what! That don't mean a bag of bricks.
I have several African brothers and sisters that live in America, infact I met up with one today. I told him about this discussion and who I talk with when I come in here. He immediately told me I was waisting my time and although I disagree with him on this, He did say to me that it is the poor uneducated Blacks in Africa that say the things you Black Africans in here been saying. When he said uneducated he meant the white mans education.
When I told him about some of the positive African black men that came in here, he kept asking me to find out what tribe they were from and were they married because he swore that the men would be trying to be cool so that I might consider marrying them and bringing them back to America with me. When I told him that it was some open minded African sisters that came into the discussion from time to time, he stated that these days Black Africans are going both ways, he was basically saying that the women would also try to get me to marry them or to do some type of favor for them.
He was kidding about that, I think but this is what he said and he is a African black man born and bred in Africa.

My sister Babyosi please my sister you too intelligent for some akata chick that don't know a thing about we Igbo people. We have this saying in Igbo land, "If you argue with a fool people may not notice the difference."

I'm so loved in Nairaland, 925, you are too funny, LMAO
I am sure this post will also be distributed through out Nairaland but who cares? Not me.
You think because I showed my ability to flirt that that means I wanted you? Please.
I can't help that I am a flirt and a charmer when I want to be. I called my self flattering you at your expense, not mines. Infact, I have flirted with many of the Nairaland African men, your not the only one. Now you are flattering your self, this is so funny - I am LMAO!
I come home from school, turn on my computer, log onto to Nairland and I see the prank you are playing. This all reminds me of the prank that was played on me in Junior High, someone placed a fart bag under my ass without my knowledge. Back then, It wasn't so funny but today, that was funny as hell. And, what you are doing now reminds me of that situation, good thing I have a very good sense of humor these days.
Okay, here comes the psychotic Sista, are you guys ready?
But, let's say that I did want you? After hearing that not only are you with a white woman but you are married to her, Yuck!
Any Black man who has been outside of the black woman is a turn off for me. You can call me a racist all you want to, Sista don't care. My flesh crawls at the thought of being with a black man who has been up in the wet walls of the white woman. You 925 disgust me and you are a turn off. Nothing about you excites me.
Okay, now that I got that off my chest, moving right along.
Next!

I see you really enjoying the publicity you getting on Nairaland. I can bit on my first son(when I have one) you just an over weight AA woman seeking attention on an African forum which you know nothing about because in real life no man in his right mind would give you a second look.
My dear sista I feel for you, it must really suck to be lonely. I pray you find you a Nigerian brother looking for a green card, I'm pretty sure you'll get some attention while his partition is being processed. You know the trill by now.

@Ugwumba@ Sista, which history book/s have you read on Nigeria. I suspect this will be the second time on this forum that I will be making an effort to correct your rather mistaken quotes on African history (the first being your comments on another thread that no Africans were involved in the Civil rights movement) . I have read many books on Nigerian History, in fact my man is Igbo, in fact he has stood behind me watching me type many past times when I come into Nairland. He told me to stop coming here. Well, I wasn't going to stop and I didn't want him to give me that Nigerian man attitude, ignoring me because I didn't listen to him. So, I don't come on when he is here Any way, he has taught me a lot and what I have not learned from him, I learned from Ashra Kwesi a visual documenter and griot. Also, some story's my man has told me about the Yuroba was quite disturbing and made me at one time want to distance my self away from him but I think he is learning that the Yuroba are his brothers and sisters, and that is the bottom line. You don't say bad things about your brothers and sisters. Firstly, the Ibo were not the first tribe to be British-educated (as a group). This honour belongs to our Yoruba brothers, and they are rightly proud of this. Secondly, NO BRITISH LEFT THE IBO IN CHARGE at independence. The British appointed Abubakar Tafewa Balewa, a Fulani from Northern Nigeria, as the first Prime Minister on 29 August 1959 and he was subsequently elected during general elections in Nigeria on the 12th of December 1959, preceding our Independence on 1st October 1960. Okay, I went to the site you gave to me and I think that site may not be that thorough with events. Also I don't think that site listed all events. Here is a site I will direct you to. Hopefully you will check it out. Between the information at this site, and the site you provided me with, you can be the one to determined which one is credible sense you say I am AA and you are Nigerian. All that matters is the truth and I hope we don't let our ego's make us avoid the truth. However, let's say that your site is credible and the site I provided you with is not credible? If I believe this site, How much more misinformation do you think is out there? Igbo, Hausa Yuroba and Fulani to this day fight over a lot of past issues and some of them don't even know about the past. They just fight each other because the knowledge they do have say's, we have been fighting so that is why we keep fighting each other. The point is, we are all brothers and sisters. Any way, check this site out and you let me know what misinformation is in this site, if any. http://www.cidcm.umd.edu/inscr/mar/assessment.asp?groupId=47503I take umbrage with anyone who attempts to belittle the suffering of my Ibo people, or for that matter, any oppressed people, including the minority tribes in Nigeria and AA in the US. I think your umbrage towards me is rooted in the fact that I am not Nigerian so you feel that what I say is not credible when my people have also been slaughtered, hung, beaten, killed, raped etc. and the list goes on. Not only that, but my people are also your people so this is my business weather you like it or not. Your feeble attempts at getting support for your views from my Yoruba and Hausa brothers, by stating that they have been tolerant of the Ibo is ludicrous. Now I really know your umbrage is more about my being AA, this is sickening. Nigerians have no problem letting the British come in and get involved with Nigerian business but you have a problem with me, Hmmm. You are attempting to make the Yuroba and Hausa think that this is all about me getting support from them, please your are even more sickening for thinking that way about your own sister. That really reinforces that not only do the Igbo think other tribes are peasants but they think AA's are peasants as well. All the statements I made were not personal attacks on all Igbo people. If you really read this topic through, you would have seen that it was me who told people not to be generalizing that when we say something, to be clear that we don't mean all Igbo, however we do mean Igbo people who think like Babiosisi. IMO, yes the Yuroba and the Hausa have been tolerant of the negative Igbo ways, (some) Igbo have. Again, not all Igbo are negative and not all Yuroba, Hausa and Fulani are negative either. Not one group is better than the other and people in this topic, Igbo people in particular, they have been saying horrible things about other tribes who are not Igbo. When they talked about the physical characteristics of other tribes, it made me sick. How can they do that when black just recently started being recognized as beauty in the eyes of our own people, now we are trying to take that away from each other? Are we trying to live in the past by bringing each other down? As a child, I witnessed the slaughtering of close relations, during and after the civil war (every imagineable reason is given to kill Ibos), spent 2 years in a refugee camp in Gabon suffering from malnutrition and without seeing my parents, brother and sisters - yet I survived. Igbos are not the only black people who experienced these things. That is what all the fuss is about in this topic. Igbo complain to much and then they tell you that you are complaining to much when you complain. For instance, Babisosi told me that I complain about the white man to much this and that. She told me that not all white people are bad, and I should get over past sufferings and not blame the white people who are the ancestors of the white people who did my people bad. I tried to get her to see that white people still harm my people to this day but she would not let her heart understand because she is riding high up on her white horse. Yet, she is in here provoking and dredging up past hurts with the Yuroba and the Hausa. The only difference between Babosis and I is, she is complaining and Igbo people like her are complaining and seperating/marginalizing their self away from their own brothers and sisters. Me, I'm just complaining about the white man who is in no relation to us. I am not saying that the Igbo have not suffered but it seems like the Igbo in this topic are doing nothing but playing victim to their own people. I thought the Igbo had moved on and moved on with their heads held high as Babosisi said. If they did, why are they still complaining? Well, as someone said, the Igbo like to be hated and envied so in the mind of the negative Igbo, he or she really believes that his brothers and sisters are jealous of the Igbo. This is not helping to bridge the gap if what you people really want for each other is peace. I bear, till today, the scars of this experience and you have the audacity to speak about how the Ibos are responsible for their problems . Okay, heard enough of the sorrow tears and blood, again, you are not the only one. Stop holding a grudge against your own people and move on with your head held up while embracing them. Any way, as far as i am concerned, it was whitey who has caused all of the confusion that is aking place amongst Nigerian people. Alot of the madness that takes place has been due to hearsay. I can bet on it and win when it comes to the one who began the hearsay. The one who has taken over my country is out to do me harm. I will be damned if I let him tell me anything about my brother or sister. Example: black children in American schools were being told by white teachers that they were sold into slavery by their continental African brothers and sisters. The Biggest lie ever told in an attempt to promote sepratsim and fighting between blacks.

@ZulunationMy dear sista I feel for you, it must really suck to be lonely. I pray you find you a Nigerian brother looking for a green card, I'm pretty sure you'll get some attention while his partition is being processed. You know the trill by now. This just goes to show how desperate you think or know your people are. Stop telling on your self, it's not very becoming

@Babblemouth A seller usually sells to the highest bidder,I'm sure same applies in your neighborhood Your selfishness just won't allow you to get it. If someone is trying to make life hard for you, if someone is hating on you, if someone discriminates against you. I don't care if you are the highest bidder, you money will never good enough for them.Break down below to counter act, any selfish or ignorant thoughts, that will most likely occur,
causing you again, to not get it, or to continue with your ego and pretend to not get it.If the Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani want to make the life of the Igbo hard. If the Igbo are hated by their brothers and sisters. If the Igbo is discriminated against, by their brothers and sisters. It would not matter that the Igbo is the highest bidder, the Igbo's money would not be good enough. |
