I'd say I'm absolutely proud of the Yoruba e-warriors, you made my day.

However, till I see: "Igbo's are either uncultured or cannibalistic" on google search as the most populated entry, just the same way Igbo's populated google's servers with "Yoruba's are dirty" - I'd say you're still losing.

Keep the fire burning!! cool grin tongue

bittyend,

You can do better than the above conjectural crap. I do not think a group of people that invented gbomogbomo and other forms of atrocities could be termed as cultured. grin grin grin

It is good to hear you just did a scholastic review on the crap you vomited above. In my case, I lived in Yoruba land and in some cases passed as Omo-Yoruba. In addition, I performed empirical research on the gbomogbomo and the cannibalistic practices reserved for royal class, olodo.

@ op, yes it is a disappointment. First it was intriguing, then it got funny, den it got sad now it's just plain annoying. Imagine someone in nigeria calling another place in nigeria backward because a bridge collapsed? Don't bridges and house collapse anymore? The problem are people that stay in lagos. Many of them aren't well travelled and base there prejudice on hear-say. The Internet if filled with lairs so I don't believe em wen they say they are educated. Educated people aren't this primitive

Directly an enemy was slain, his head – and sometimes his body, if the people were strongly cannibalistic – was taken to the village and a great dance given, either at once or after the skull has been cleaned of its flesh by boiling, or by being buried for a time in the ground. At the feast, every man-slayer of the village danced round, generally with a skull in one hand and his machete in the other. Sometimes the body of the enemy was brought in whole; sometimes it was cut in pieces in advance to facilitate transport. It was then boiled in native pots and shared out, occasionally among the man-slayer's family and friends, but sometimes among all the people of the village, until it was wholly consumed. In some tribes it was forbidden for women and children to partake of human flesh; in others, for example among the Kalabari, the eldest sister of the hut was forced to taste it, however strongly she might protest.

Among the Abadja, the whole body of anyone slain was ordinarily taken back to the village and there consumed, though it was tabu to eat women or children. A man only divided his ‘kill’ among his own family. The body was cut up and cooked in pots; the fingers, palms of the hands, and toes were considered the best eating. Sometimes, if a family had been satisfied, part of the body would be dried and put away for later.

When an Nkanu warrior brought a head back, everyone who heard of the deed gave him a present, and much palm-wine was drunk. The trophy was boiled, and the flesh cut away. The skull was then taken out, accompanied with all the others in the village, and the flesh was then boiled and eaten.

Much cruelty was practised among certain of these tribes. For example, the Bafum-Bansaw, who frequently tortured their prisoners before putting them to death. Palm-oil was boiled in a big pot, and then by means of a gourd enema it was pumped into the bowels and stomachs of the prisoners. This practice was said to make the bodies much more succulent than they would otherwise have been. The bodies were left until the palm-oil had permeated them, and then cut up and devoured...

P. A. Talbot, Southern Nigeria, Clarendon Press, 1926 (3 vols.)



Every moment, men, women and even children passed me. One would be carrying a human leg on his shoulder, another would be carrying the lungs or the heart of some unfortunate Kroo-boy in his or her hands. Several times I myself was offered my choice of one of these morsels, dripping with gore.

Father Bubendorf of Freiburg, an eye-witness to the slaughter of a group of captives outside the hut of a tribal chief, Onitsha, Nigeria, c. 1921

Well, I used to be the King of anti-Ghana and anti-South Africa on nairaland. Heck, I grew up cursing Ghanaians and other Africans out - that's the normal banter out here. And best believe, you can NEVER curse them out better than me because I've got more than a decade of experience in doing that ish. grin grin. I chased a few of them out of nairaland. However, I had to think about it - and for fvck sake, Ghanaians didn't populate google's servers with hate and bile about Yoruba's. Neither did SAns. So, I decided to embrace them and show them that African-love.

But with Igbo's - till Yoruba's populate google's servers with the same hate and bile - it's game on. I support them!

Mr. Gull,

What was posted about Onitsha took place way back in the 1920s. I'd be more worried and grossed out by the practice of cannibalism which still takes place with impunity in the South West.

In the SW we still have the ancient and obnoxious practice of mutilating the bodies of traditional rulers after death. The rituals and sacrifices which parts of the body of a dead king, especially in Western Nigeria, are used for are barbaric and a disgrace to the country in this 21st century. These evil practices which are not in consonant with the will of God and against the fundamental human rights of the affected traditional rulers and are worse than the events of Onitsha of the 1920s.

Today, in 2013, when a king dies, they say they have to give his heart to his successor on the throne to eat. They explained that it will make the new king strong and courageous but, is that not deceit? How can eating somebody’s flesh give courage to another person? They mutilate the remains of these kings and engage in fetish and obnoxious activities which add no value to anybody or the society in general. Barbarians!!
