Why is it that some Ibo like claiming Jewish origin, Some even speculated that they are the lost tribe of Israel. I once watched a video where a group of Ibos dressed like Jews with a rabbi observing the Jewish passover, incredible!

There is no historical nor genetic connection between Ibos and Jews. Moreover, the Israeli government has never taken them seriously. Why are some Ibo people determine to scam their way into Israel and pollute the Holy-Land; God forbid , tufiakwa.

Bilymuse,

We igbos are used to your kind. the kind that Mpele described. USelss, loud mouthed, hateful, vengeful, dedicating their lives to igbo destruction, lazy, empty-headed, opinionated and above all murderers of truth. Whether you belive it or not the igbo people are matching forward forcefully. You just rant like an ant. Perhaps we may not be genetically related to the Jews but we share so much in common - Industry, thrift, unique ability to survive in hostile environment, geographical spread, business acumen and skin color.

which skin color is that?

I tire for some people, honestly.


I think some of the things folks come up with in their brains and parrot everywhere, is the effect of illiteracy combined with ignorance and fed by lying mercenaries who take your money and feed you what you want to hear.

Nothing you are saying here which is also not found in any other tribe, group or race anywhere in the world.

Indians and Chinese are the ones who should even be boasting, not you.

So you arent aware Owo has a very large number of people from other parts of Nigeria who live and do business there? I checked with a friend who confirmed this emphatically. Go and ask about the non-Yoruba population of Owo.

Owo also has ties to Benin, from antiquity, as anyone can see from the location and also from the ancient Owo/Benin art on display at many museums abroad.

Please do your homework properly before rushing to unfounded allegations. And yes, you are very paranoid. If you consider your state of mind as being normal then that in itself is a scary thought., and I hope people are safe around you.

No, paranoid is not a compliment. Its a condition that needs urgent and strict management, because it will turn to a more serious incurable problem eventually.

Thank you for all the information, so sad that when pple are making fact as the one you have made, you will be labelled as owo touts, sad, isnt?
I think instead of worrying abt what tribe is kidnapping what tribe, i think it is better to look for way out of this and find a lasting solution and stop all the finger pointing.

Do you know how ebulient a tribe can be for a war that Gowon wrote off in the beginning as "We would overrun them in 30 days" to last 3 years?

by 1968, biafra was shrunk to one-tenth of it's size, he war was effectively won by them. ojukwu's pride led to the unnecessary starvation of biafra. extending the war to the extent of using child soldiers was idiotic.

kindly direct your complaints at Planner, who brought up the kidnapping issue here.

And try to stop reading posts out of context in your haste to point fingers at others ignoring the ones that are pointed back at yourself.

Unless you are Planner o.

It makes me laff when the pple that are asking for war and the liberation of Biafra, they actually think they have all it takes to fight a war and these are same pple that will be scared at the shot of a bullet.
Pple tends to forget that war is no respecter of anyone, and that the pple they care most will be the first to die, cos most are defenceless, and pls always remember that when there is a way, the first to die are always mothers and father and the children, cos they cant fight neither cld they run, so guys, be sure of what you ask for, there are more to lose rather than to gain, but if all uses such energy to rid Nigeria of the leaders that has plagued her, we will surely win.

Tpia or Tipia Your reply above is poor attempt in been logical. I sent you a link on the specific kidnappig of igbos in Owo and you posted an answer that does not in anyway address the question. I wu Ewu? Why can't you Yorubas for once accept that the biggest terrorists are not even from the Niger-delta regionbut fro yorubaland. Why do you kidnapp non-indigenes? I guess you people are the decendeants of arch-tribalist, Obafemi Awolow. Call me paranoid or para-normal i don't care. That is what Chief Ikemba Nnewi was called and today he is vindicated.

How come it is always most people from the Oil belt that always asking for seperation from Nigeria? i will just like to know.
Lemme guess, the same lunacy that made Nigeria jumping up in 1960 cos they have Oil and they are all independent and cld do whatever they want? tell me where is all those jubilation then? what have they achieved with it? Nothing and i mean absolutely Nothing, instead of Nigeria to be healed, she is constantly blaming others for their own wahala.
I have heard Nigerians blaming USA for their problem
Some have blamed Brittain, Bakassi has contributed a lot according to some, so who is next to be blamed.
Besides, i guess Oil belt in Nigeria are following same foot step now, blaming every other tribe but refused to look inward.

1- because you others are parasite.

2- Nigeria's income is mainly generated from oil sales,
Meaning without Nigeria's oil, You people would be competing with the likes of Burundi economically.

hahahahahahaha, u are so funny.
What is the definition of a parasite, Oil that cant even be refined in the Oil city?
How about you wake up and realize that dependancy on Oil might not even help u at all, cos the notion of "we have oil" and we shd be entitled has made y'all some lazy bunch.
If there is no Oil, trust me, that will make so many Nigerians to wake up and develop other means of making money, be it farming or mining, which we need anyways.
I guess texas shd be asking for break away from America too, or Alaska.

it's the truth that Nigeria is a monoeconomy. 

What is the definition of a parasite, Oil that can't even be refined in the Oil city?

and whose fault is that?

I guess texas should be asking for break away from America too, or Alaska.

even after the discovery of Gold and Oil, the american economy continued to be diversified.  how many people today realize california was a mainly a Gold mining area?? that's the difference between nigeria and the oil producing scandanavian countries. they invested their money in other ventures and there's way too much mouth to feed to be dependent on oil.  considering that most nigerian states depend on federal allocation, we are indeed parasites.

Yes, i do agree with all u have said so far and i blv that Nigeria need to invest in other ways to make money into the wallet of the nation, and that is why i said, maybe without the Oil, the nation would have been a better place afterall.

If Texas was like Niger-delta, They would have no choice.

Trust me, This would be the end of the appalling Nation called Nigeria.
By then you people would be using 100billion naira notes like Zimbabwe.

that will make so many Nigerians to wake up and develop other means of making money, be it farming or mining, which we need anyways.

Nigerians are not saying they don't want to farm but your stupid governments are not encouraging them.
I got a friend who exports farming chemicals to Nigeria and trust me,
It is selling like hot cakes and that should tell u Nigerians are not a lazy bunch as u claimed they are.


The only state which has a slight chance of surviving if Nigeria breaks up is Lagos.

Lagos is only active becos of the oil trade in the Niger Delta, take oil away and the state is finished. The backbone of the Nigerian economy is export of crude oil. The banks are triving cos forex is being brought in thru trading in oil.

But fortunately for Lagosians, the state has enough oil to sustain it. Also its neighbouring state, Ogu, also has some amount of crude oil. So all hope might not be lost for Lagos should the Niger Delta choose to cede

that is why i said, maybe without the Oil, the nation would have been a better place afterall.

the only people that scream oil is a curse are usually africans in gabon, nigeria or angola. i wonder why. folks from UAE, romania, norway, denmark etc sure don't mind.  this country would be a much better place if the Oil boom was properly managed.  

Lagos is only active because of the oil trade in the Niger Delta, take oil away and the state is finished.

lagos has a finance and trade sector, something most nigerian states can't boost off.  internally generated revenue in lagos state is the highest of any other sate.

Trading and commerce indeed, what do u think is stimulating the trade and the commerce? Let the over 90% income from oil stop and u think and u would see how seemingly boomking Lagos economy would vaporise.

At the moment, oil is very thing to the country. And it is going to take a lot of restructuring to change this. If u ask me, I think the states in the east have a better chance of surviving if the country divides.

there are huge pharmaceutical companies, paint industries etc that import goods through lagos.  a port state like lagos is very important.  access to the sea gives people a lot of advantages, see panama. a tourism service based economy can easily be built in lagos if not for our bonehead government

but he truth is that some Ibo folks are deluded, how could you claim to be Jewish, when you are not. Its called inferiority complex and a lot of Ibos are suffering from this mental disorder ever since they lost the Biafra war. You guys truly have my sympathy.

funny, I thought you were Igbo.

anyway, your sympathy doesnt really matter since like the Nazis, some haters are the ones turning around to accuse others of hate.

In Nigeria, as I'm sure you know, you are hated on the basis of your tribe, not as an individual. And this attitude is shared all across the country. No one tribe is innocent of xenophobia  tribalism.

The thread was for people's opinion on the viability of Nigeria but trust Nairaland members to turn it into a mudslinging contest.

You don't need a crystal ball to know that Nigeria is in need of a major shake up.  Could come in the form of a revolution (don't see that happening because of the huge tribal differences) or in the form of a dissolution ( more feasible in my opinion). Truth is that we can't keep on living like this. Something has to give.
