wow! Is that ur post?

A typical IBO man is ambitious & 4 one dat lacks conscience bcoms greedy. Imagine my neighbour building along d fenceline & roofing d house 2 pour rainwater in2 my compound, also locating his toiletwaste water near my bedroom window & after pleading wit him several times, he kept insisting I shouldn't build fence BT as a thorough Ekiti man- I ran out of patience & set up a fence in jst one day 2 his amazement & now he can hardly open som of his doors. How would hate end btw us?

How do we owe you igbo appolog-es when you guys treaded foolishly by the. Way of. Your generals killing our military Governor before the War?
When the northern leaders came to. Lagos for a paliamentary meeting back in the years before the war, was it not you igbo men that theey the hausas spotted mocking them on sigthing them coming out of the paliament house?
Is it not that foolish mistake you igbo's commited that made those blood sucker that killing your brothers in the North at Sabon Gari? Even my relatives who were yorubas were not spared as long as they are Southerners. But the Hausa's truely knows that it was you igbo people that did the mockery and name calling at Lagos.
You igbo's are arrongant like the hausas though not so much as theirs. You do not look before. You leap. And when you fall into a pit, you blame someone else.
Why did Ojuckwu had to bombed lagos to claim Biafra?
Can you tell me.
Did we yorubas retalite when your generals killed our then western leader Akintola?
Look we Yorubas can do withouth any tribe in Nigeria and it is evident back in 1957 when your coward leader put you igbos ddestiny in the hands of the Northerners saying it is when they the Northerners are ready that you the igbos are ready to bé alone. Was that not the response he gave to the colonial masters? We are only mnaging you every guest we have in the west. We CAN DO WITHOUT any of you.
Yourubas are all over the world. We think before we act we do not act like women.
We consider others too before we take actions.
I do not hate you igbo's but I hate they way you people do reason.
It's just nonsense and insultive to demand for apologies from us whhen you acted foolishly.

PedroJP:



Wats ur say about the 3 million who perished cos betrayal from our dear friends ? Do u think those souls will spare u if u ignore and put aside wat they suddered in matters like this.


Seems u don't understand wat really happened. Our bossom friends saw us as pple standing in their way and wanted to seize d opportunity provided by the civil war to annihilate their powerful friends. Thank God, we survived and we are progressing. Yorubas are good pple and co-operative but we only demand apology and acknowledgement of their mistake for the sake of those lost souls

K

The reason why Nigeria is like this is because we are cohabited with an Unambitious tribe who always want to lean on another tribe inorder to get its status....

One of the factors of a strong nation is unity among it's people and aiming for a common goal. We should tolerate each other

Lol. Should be telling you that.

Tom and Jerry indeed! If Biafra had not Invaded the west, there would not have been Nigeria today. Chief Awo had successfully gotten northern soldiers to leave the West and they withdrew to ilorin only for biafra to attack

I have debunked this false video many, many times. See one of my comments below:

(1) Regarding your bitter lies about the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the following piece-by-piece devastating refutation:

(A) Contrary to your ignorance, captives weren’t taken from “all across Africa” as you imagined.

Rather, captives were taken from Central Africa and West Africa — including people from Benin kingdom whom the Nupe, the Ibadan, Ogedengbe, etc. raided.

(B) Contrary to your ignorance, the Yoruba people have long been known by the name Yoruba (and they’ve been living in their present homeland) for centuries prior to the period when ex-captives began to be returned to Africa.

We know this because the process of returning ex-captives back ‘home’ to West Africa didn’t begin until circa the late-1700s.

Whereas, there are manuscripts written in the early-1600s which list Yorubas (by their name Yoruba) among some of the ethnic groups of our region of West Africa.

This manuscript which was written by Ahmed Baba in 1615 is attached below.

The name Yoruba is shown in red highlight (among the other ethnic groups) as can be seen in the original manuscript as well as in the translation embedded below respectively:

This translation was prepared by John Hunwick and Fatima Harrak for The Institute of African Studies Rabat, Morocco

Oh, I should add that we know that this manuscript was written by Ahmad Baba in the year 1615 because he himself penned his date as highlighted (in the attached verso) below:

www.nairaland.com/attachments/13082305_6e49d8d129844a578af9272699e1586a_jpeg_jpeg2d5891d724a6428e2c0f4e6898bd60cc

The highlight here literally shows the wording “(the year) one thousand and twenty four (of the Hijrah)”.

When converted from this Hijri “AH” calendar into our Gregorian “AD” calendar; the year 1024 AH falls into the year 1615 AD

The formula “D = 0.9692*H + 622” proves practically useful for this conversion.

In sum, your falsehood that returned-slaves (from all across Africa) are what became known as Yorubas is nothing but a but-hurt lie from a depressed bald-head.


(C) These ex-captives who were of West-African origin and Central African origin were repatriated directly to Sierra-Leone and Liberia.

Some began a new life there, while some decided to go back to their homeland from which they were taken ab-initio.

Nobody was repatriated to south-West Nigeria, bald-head.

A number of Yorubas among the returnees chose to return back to Yorubaland — just as many others who returned to their respective original homeland.

(2) The only ethnic-group whom I know of who couldn’t fight their way to freedom and be returned back to Africa are ……. [take a guess].


They couldn’t think of returning until about 400 years later when some of their descendants decided to tap into the science of Genetics as a guide to finding their way back home. ~ See video. below:

(1) “Occupying a key site on the route from the Bend to Ife, Oyo was probably one of the earliest-founded provincial capitals in the Ife empire.”

~ Robin Horton, “Ancient Ife,” (1979), p.115.

(2) A ”bight” is a feature of a water body (Atlantic ocean in this case).

Ife, in contrast, is deep in the Yoruba interior. It is in no way near the Atlantic coast.

How could the 1400s Portuguese then have named a part of the Atlantic Ocean (the bight) after it?

You see your life? See how you embarrassed yourself, family and friends.

(3) Yoruba is not one kingdom. It is a land of free-borns, where each of its many kingdoms has got some sovereignty.

As such, the bight could not have been named after a land as a whole. It was named after one of the two major polities near the coast — particularly the one which the Portuguese first had trade relations with.

Of the two major kingdoms near the coast in the late 1400s when the Portuguese first arrived, only Benin kingdom was willing to sell its people. The bight was thus named after that kingdom whom they knew.

*It wasn’t until in the 1520s before Benin embargoed the sale of its men (allowing only women) due to fear of depopulation of able-bodied men.

(4) First of all, Britain didn’t have any fight with Benin. It was a punishment, not a fight. It is called a “punitive expedition” for a reason. A punishment in relation to which Ovoramwen recanted and trembled in court.

Imaging “canning” a child as a punitive measure for mis-behaviors, and then the child suddenly turning around to say s(he) had a fight with you. No be juju be that?

There was no reason to punish Ife, hence no such expedition happened there. Instead, they helped to end the ongoing wars within Yorubaland.

(5) The country called Benin Republic did not take its name from Benin kingdom. Neither does it relate to Benin kingdom.

The country’s former name was “Dahomey” — a name which doesn’t reflect the diverse ethnicities in the country.

The name “Benin” (after the bight which the country sits on) was then settled for due to its neutrality.

“In the late 19th century French colonizers making inroads from the coastal region into the interior borrowed the name of the defeated Dahomey kingdom for the entire territory that is now Benin; the current name derives from the Bight of Benin”

~ https://www.britannica.com/place/Benin

In contrast, an entire group of people in today’s Togo, have insisted to be known by the name IFE. Yes, it is the “Ife” of present Nigeria they want to be associated with.

Yoruba language is being spoken in Benin Republic. Tell me where (outside of Edo state) Bini language is beinig spoken.

Peace!
