How pathetic. Shame no even catch una. Just coz una no get any proud history to identify with, you had to fabricate one by attempting to forcefully inject yourselves into Yoruba history. Una sha wan form attached with Yorubas by fire by force. I feel your pain but it's way too late to rewrite or superimpose yourself into Yoruba/ife history. undecided

Just look at! Provide proof to the contrary or stop all these your rantings! These and many other facts on the topic are well documented in published material- don't make me go search for that book right now!

The British used the Scots(Lord Lugard, etc.) to administer colonial Nigeria not because the Scots were kinsmen of the Queen (they ate not) but because the best administrators in that area happened to be Scottish.

Continue what! Some people have been making noise about most of the players being igbos. That's what the op was responding to. I just hate it when people try to sweep matters under the carpet. Issues must be addressed. If these guys have not played well,they should be replaced with whoever would do better .i don't know what tribe has to-do with football.people were tribalizing the whole thing.its not even like they are being paid anything reasonable.its so annoying. We must not continue to degrade merit in Nigeria or keep quite over blackmail.

This is not true, the problem is that many insecure Igbos on social media boast too much, they started this arguement of super eagles players and their tribes while Nigerians were rejoicing, many had to remind them that MOST OF THE KEY PLAYERS SPAN ACROSS VARIOUS TRIBES IN NIGERIA.
Simon Moses, leon Balogun, Victor Moses, Odion Ighalo, in addition to Mickel, Ezenwa, and Ndidi these were the major guys.
It was Nigeria (not Biafra) that one the march. Don't let anyone destroy your joy when you celebrate your country's success. Let them celebrate in their own way if they will, but it doesn't take anything from your own celebration.

Peace, Bros

The coach is not Igbo man not even a Nigerian I don't see any reason to be on defensive for action taken by a non Igbo coach.
Sometime we have to learn to ignore inconsequential noise makers.
Those boys were not employed by the federal they came to honour an ungrateful nation.

Take a look at newly appointed NNPC managers by Buhari and accusation of marginalization that have followed and yet the North have kept a sealed lips.How many threads have Northerners opened in defense of Buhari?
You can continue anyways.

No they insult other ethnic groups nah! Just praise your own!

Speaking on the issue, Igbo Defender discovered that most Afro Americans, including Afro Carribeans are of Igbo origin. We think that explains a lot.

Guy stop this foolishness. This fabrication of yours has been refuted times without number yet you keep parroting it like pesin wey dem swear for. The Ugbos that you are appropriating are the ones in present day Ondo state. This sick attempt to inject yourself into Yoruba/ife history is dead on arrival. You no get Shame??

I thought they were nri and Jews
Igbos are a people lacking in history

We don't need to be replying you on Igbo history, because it is to be told on a need-to-know-basis and you don't need to know. But let us humor you in honour of one rare detribalised post you made some days ago, and for the benefit of Great Igbos and indeed Their Honoured Friends thethe worldvworld over:

Igbos are Not a group of people with one origin. Igbos- like Jews - are a group of people with diverse origin who never-the-less share one culture, the excellence-inducing Igbo culture with its cultural gene of Equianoism and love for freedom. You are welcome to join if you want to.

Let us explain and you may get it:

The first Igbos were Eri Ben Had, his household and the Nubian Egyptian households they met in Africa. Due to envy from people like you, they started a journey Southwards and settled in the Aguleri-Umuleri-Nri area. Before that, on there way Southwards, they met other people who wanted freedom and they allowed those people to join their community as long as they would accept Igbo culture.

At the NRI area, the pattern of accepting lovers of freedom to their group continued. That is why: Aro Igbo's are Igbo plus Ibibio; Olu Igbo people are Igalla descended Igbos; Ndoki Igbos are partly Ijaw partly Igbo, and so on.

Research shows that some of Igbos went Southwards and became the progenitors of the world famous Bantu culture that covers many countries in Southern and Central Africa and has 250 million people!

Another group of Igbos sojourned and became the aborigines of Ife. The Obi of Onitsha, a descendant of these Lucumis, has comissioned scholars from a top university to gather more evidence on this. Also, Most Afro Americans are of Igbo origin.

That means you are more ignorant of history than it first appears. Let me give you a tip. Use Google. You will learn a lot.

And while you are at it, go to your primary and secondary schools and demand a full refund of your fees! Or sue them jointly for 'withholding critical information that caused you odium and opprobrium in a public forum'. Thank us later.
