"What is also interesting about us is that we have all embraced different kinds of identities especially the ruling classes in Nigeria. The Yorubas for example call themselves what they are but the word ‘Yoruba’ is not a Yoruba word because actually, the Yorubas didn’t give themselves the name. The word was given to them by Ahmad Baba of Songhai and Ahmed Baba used the word “Yoruba” not even “The Yorubas" to describe the people who live in what is now modern day Oyo, Osun, Lagos & Kwara states but it simply meant people living in the south. In the same way that word “Hausa” is not a Hausa word and the Hausas didn’t give themselves the name. It was simply given by again the same Ahmad Baba who was living in Songhai and Songhai as you know is the modern day Niger. He just used the word to refer to the people who are living to the south of Niger. In the same way that we are very proud we know a people called the Igbo people, but Ibo is not an Ibo word. The word Igbo was used by the people of Onitsha who were largely monarchical and felt a sense of contempt for other uncultured people who lived around them. So, they used the word to describe others but now it’s been adopted and of course there are people who call themselves Igbo.” ~ Bishop Matthew Kukah

So arresting someone means he's powerful? So what do we call the one that arrested him?

Flat heads with daft logics.

Forcefully beg you by making you swim in mud water and killing your supreme pig leader? Your elders had to even give buhari chieftaincy title to please him.

Are you saying Benue and the rest of the middle-belt that have always dominated the army that kept this country together, are angry with Yorubas?

Are you saying that a largely Chrisitan Benue that voted in Buhari after the disappointment from the Christian Jonathan they earlier voted, are now blaming Yoruba's for their choice?

That Benue must be a Benue Igbo.

If it quacks like a duck, it is most certainly a duck.

Who did they arrest? What is this One saying? Why did they send soldiers to occupy the east? Why are they having sleepless nights and falling over each other when the name biafra is mentioned? We have control over your lives and you think We don't have power

Re: Yoruba, Igbo And Hausa Did Not Name Themselves by AnambraDota: 8:13pm On Jan 22, 2018
So Onitsha people name us Igbos while Igboukwu the cradle of Igbo civilization is older than Onitsha.

So who call them Igboukwu (Great Igbo)? Because the town have been in existence before the arrival of the Europeans before you say name them Igbos.

Igbo is an ancient Igbo word for "gbuo" meaning old or kill. Igbos have neighbors as well.
