Deadlytruth:Many Afemais have Nupe origins and Some Afemais have Nupe origins are both indefinite statements which are not very different from each other, but depends in the context in which they are viewed/used. I stand by these words of mine and there is nothing wrong here. I stand on my word that I always claimed that Oshuku never existed in the ethnic sense and not otherwise. You do not readjust your assertions even when busted because you are a unrepentant and shameless liar who stare at facts in the face and still deny it.
Same you who claimed that Akoko edos stopped giving yoruba names to their children immediately after midwest region came, yet I showed you how almost every Akoko edo person I met in Uniben who was born in the 90s had a Yoruba name, then you readjusted your claim. You also claimed every single Yoruba influence on you guys was as a result of western region influence and they showed you your traditional leaders, the titles they answer and their traditional attires looking purely Yoruba, then you started readjusting. Abeg e. Thank God these things are there for everyone to see. You have no right to blame the Yorubas who claimed that some Akoko edo towns were founded by Yorubas afterall they showed you evidences of renowned Akoko edo intelligentsia who claimed their places were of yoruba origin. You must be the biggest fool in the world if you think it is impossible for a people of an ethnic group or nation to have multiple origins (ancestries). I gave you the example of Ethnic Turkish people today who were originally Hittites, who were mixed/conquered by Greeks and became ethnic greek for almost a thousand years before the Turks arrived and mixed/conquered them and today they identify as Turks, not forgetting the huge number of Balkans who came too. Today if the DNA of the average ethnic Turkish person is tested, it shows Ancient Anatolian, Greek, Balkan and Turkish blood. Most times it does not even show Turkish blood, cos the Turkish people who came to Anatolia were very small compared to the number of people already there. If you were to be asked the origin of Turkish people today, where would you say it is? If you were asked the origin of Mestizos today, where will you say it is? Native American or European? Since according to you, nobody should claim multiple origins. Many countries/ethnic nations all over the world officially accept multiple origins for their people, yet one imbecìle from nowhere is saying this doesn't exist. Now you have changed goalpoast and given many exceptions to Etuno people who claim Ebira identity, same you who authoritatively questioned me if any of my friends or Etuno people I have met in real life have ever claimed Ebira identity. First of all, if you are not a manipulative Psychopath can you show me from the beginning where I ever claimed that Akoko edos and Owans claim Afemai identity in the ethnographic sense for you to warrant me buttressing such claims? Same me who before we came in contact corrected an Etsako person who made claims of an Afemai ethnic group which doesn't really exist? MANIPULATIVE PYSCHOPATH ! You always force words into people's mouths in order to create a safe landing for your foolishness. Let me assume that what you are saying is correct, even though you are known to always bring facts from your anus without any factual backing. I said it before here that I was born and bred in the South, so I am more of a southerner in personality, behaviour, thinking and everything, so there is nothing wrong if I involve myself in arguments of the south because this is the culture I am immersed in the most, however, I will not involve myself in a purely Yoruba or Igbo thread and start arguments there especially when none of the people's I am affiliated with were evermentioned. Your level of ignorance is shocking. Weren't Yoruba speaking and Edo speaking communities sharing same boundaries before they were seperated according to regions? Are there no Igbo communities sharing the same LGAs and even wards with Idomas and Igalas in Benue & Enugu states? Ette (one town in Enugu state) has both Igalas, Idomas and Igbos as indigenes of that same town. Does this mean that middlebelters will not be seperated from Igbos if need be? Let me not talk about Kwara, Kogi and even Niger state where Yorubas, Nupes, Ebiras & Baribas share the same towns and LGAs equally as indigenes. Mugu without a direction.
I AM NOT TALL does not necessarily mean that I AM SHORT. I AM NOT WHITE does not necessarily mean that I AM BLACK. SHE IS NOT FAT does not necessarily mean that SHE IS THIN. WE ARE NOT FRIENDS does not necessarily mean that WE ARE ENEMIES. Stop talking like an uneducated foøl. Words and opposites does not always work the way your Manipulative psychopathy makes you think they do.
You are just making a stupid argument when there is none. Jihadists did not win all their wars of course, just like they did not succeed with those of us in Plateau, Southern Kaduna e.t.c and this clearly shows with the fact that most of our people never accepted islam. However, in the case of Etsako west where the jihadists ruled from, every single person became a muslim. How did this happen if the jihad was unsuccesful? Auchi people were never muslims before the jihad, how did they become 100% muslim with so much Emirate cultures and royalties immediately after the invasion? I guess it was magic right? Ilorin was not conquered by Fulani invasion in war. Alimi (Fulanis) supported Afonja to fight Oyo for independence and immediately betrayed Afonja by taking over power immediately independence was realized. This was what happened, can you kindly explain how this was a war of conquest? You like arguing stupidlÿ! Can you compare this to Yola or Gombe where there was full invasion and open war between Fulanis and the tribes? If you have any senses, you will know that this is what is called INVASION WAR 2 Likes |

Deadlytruth:Religion was not a very important factor in the north in early times (except among Hausa fulanis) and this was why inter religious marriages were very common then. People practicing multiple religions was also common then (for example, my mother practiced islam & christianity simultaneously while she was a child, my greatgrandfather practiced traditional religions & islam, then later christianity together), just like Yorubas are doing today. This was why Arewa seemed possible irrespective of religious differences. On the part of the core-northernerns, the Sardauna heavily preached and promoted religious coexistence among all northerners, afterall his mother is believed to be a Bachama woman from Adamawa of traditional/christian roots. Fastfoward, the Sardauna died and more extremist northern leaders like Buhari began to emerge. Also, people started to become exposed and more aware of their religion and religious identities, hence the project blew up. Only a very big idìot will claim Hausa fulanis and middlebelters always had 100% the same political inclinations from the beginning. Since colonial times, even before independence, the United middlebelt congress (UMBC) was the choice party for middlebelters in the Northern region parliament. Many of our representatives came from this party. This party was formed by the fusion of the Middlebelt league party and the Middlebelt people's party. This party was one of the main opposition parties in the old northern region. Fastforward independence, when national elections came, the UMBC formed a merger with the NCNC and part of the AG to form UPGA which was the opposition party to the Hausa-fulani NNA (NPC). If not for the call to boycott the elections from the Eastern region, UPGA would have gotten massive votes from the middlebelt. In1979, Nnamdi Azikiwe won old Plateau state with the NPP and not Shagari. The first elected governor of Plateau state (Solomon Lar) was also elected on this NPP platform. So, tell me how we were in alliance with Hausa-fulanis? In 1993, Abiola won old Plateau, Benue and Taraba and not Tofa. Same party with which our governors were elected. Most Nigerians voted Obasanjo & Yaradua from every region. There was nothing like Hausa-fulani choices here. Can you tell us how the 2011 elections were split in the middlebelt when GEJ won all the middlebelt states (including Taraba & Adamawa) and lost only Niger state? Can't you see the level of your foolishness? In 2015, we all tilted to Buhari, yet GEJ won Plateau, Nasarawa, FCT & Taraba? In 2019, we fancied Buhari yet Atiku won Plateau, Benue, Taraba, FCT & Adamawa? (mind you most votes Atiku got from Adamawa were from the christian areas and not the fulani-muslim areas). Can you see how shameless you are? See, let me give you an advice that will help you in life, if you don't know something and you are not sure of it, never you say it, or you end up disgracing yourself. The internet never forgets. Even though Nairaland is a faceless forum, an Etuno person may be reading this tomorrow and will be ashamed at how much his tribesman is disgracing himself with poor facts and ignorance. So you expect civilians without any serious weapons to overpower Boko haram who posses even more sophisticated weapons than our military and even overpower our military? Can you see the level of your stupidity?. I wish your children would see this someday. Nupe-Ilorin-Ebira-Igala axis is the only muslim predominant part of the middlebelt. Apart from here can you show me another part of the middlebelt with muslim majority? Yes, some of our tribes may be classified as predominantly muslim in some old rankings, like mine, cos islam came first and not until the 70s, many of our people hadn't accepted christianity in the rural areas. You claim you have lived in Gombe south/Plateau axis, while going through these areas, did you see a muslim majority? Double faced liar. We mostly copied Arabic names from the Hausa bible and not really from thee Hausas. The British colonialists force the Sudan missionaries to evangelize our people in Hausa as opposed to Ngas language which they initially wanted to use. Most of our tribes never spoke or understood Hausa language until the gospel came in Hausa. The British knew that Ngas language will unify our people and become our new lingua franca, hence creating a new majority ethnic group in the north which they wanted to be Hausa majority only.
Can someone differentiate the houses of Igbos in Delta and their Urhobo neighbours? Can one differentiate the houses of Yorubas and their Nupe & Bariba neighbours in Ilorin? Or the houses of Kogi Yorubas and Ebira koto/Bassa in Lokoja? Stop sounding foolish. Neighbours who evolved from the same topography and climatic areas would definitely and most likely have similar houses irrespective of their ethnic groups. Do Sokoto people have the same houses with Tivs, Idomas, Igalas & Ebiras? SS & Igbos are voting Atiku with the perception that he is not Hausa fulani? Can you explain why Shagari won in old Cross River & Rivers in 1979? and got almost 40% in Bendel, yet he lost Plateau state? Mumu wey nor sabi shingbain dey claim say he sabi something. 1 Like |

Deadlytruth: Go and google this topic, NOTES ON THE TRIBES, PROVINCES, EMIRATES AND STATES OF THE NORTHERN PROVINCES OF NIGERIA. By Charles Lindsay Temple, Olive Temple Charles Temple was the lieutanent-governor of Northern Nigeria from 1914- 1916. This book was originally compiled in 1912 by himself and his brother, before the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorates. You can download the book for free or by paying in the various sites suggestions you will find from your google search, but I got it for free in one of these online book stores. The free version though was limited. In this book, you will find stories about your Etuno people under the Igbira and Kukuruku ethnic groups. A section of Kukurukus (which were you Akoko edos) were also listed as a part of the Akoko people. I grabbed some screenshots which I will post here for you to see. Mind you, this book was the official book used for the registration of northern ethnic groups as the Temples compiled the stories/records/census figures from various administrating officers who reported the stories of every single ethnic group. So, get this into your thick gorilla skull. Your Etuno people (called Igarra) were identified as a section of Igbira people who were now merged with Edo tribes under Kukuruku umbrella. The part that got me laughing hard was when your Igarra people were described as a LAZY PEOPLE. Lol (hahaha). And just for the records as you were arguing stupidly, yes the Akoko (Ondo) & Ekiti people who were raided by the Nupes were also carved into Northern Nigeria. Everywhere Nupes raided were carved into Northern Nigeria as I rightfully said and you were stupidly arguing. So, while you Kukurukus and Akokos were rightfully transferred to the south later on, Kogi west & Kwara south yorubas remained in the North (including the Ekiti people you find in Kwara state today). This is why you will clearly find Ekiti tribe in this book as one of the tribes that made up Northern Nigeria. Go through the Igbira part of the book and you will learn of the relationship between your people and the Igalas and why the claim of your Etuno professors on Igala roots may not be entirely out of place. Next time, when I tell you something, in this miserable life of yours, you will ask politely to know more or keep shut to go make your further research before you allow your diarrhea hands sickness take the better part of you and put you in perpetual shame and ridicule. Tufia (I spit on you), small boy who knows nothing about Nigeria's history. Next time when you see people like us, you will run far. If you like, allow your stupidity take the better part of you and continue arguing while I keep disgracing you further. You would have avoided this disgrace if only you controlled that stupid argumentative character of yours. Nincompoop! 1 Like

Nowenuse: Which facts are you talking about? I have been offline for nearly two months now due to been in the field at a place located in a very remote rural area virtually without network. I am back now to refute your traditional lies. Your nightmare is back. I will soon start responding to your fairy tales. 1 Like |

Deadlytruth: You are a liar. Before I made my last comment on this thread, I checked your profile and saw that you came online many times after the previous comment. Even after I made my last comment, you were still coming online. I am done with this argument as it is already stale. You can go and argue with the Temple brothers who legally registered your people in colonial records as Ebira people and northerners. I wasn't the one who made the classification. |
