what do you mean his people's conducts don't justify his legacy blah blah blah. Just pay your respects and move on.
Mind you the Igbos have always been the number one supporters of our people. They have invested heavily in our lands, supported our political ambitions in 2003, never fought us and have always stood for positive change in Nigeria.
I don't know where you base but when you come abroad and accept help from an Igbo in your trial period, then you will know just how stupid your bigotry here is.
Your type is rare , with you Nigeria and her people can be hopeful.

Yhu see, we have problem with unenlightened mind like yhu.

Honestly, only a fool like yhu will make statements such as these.


I have been betrayed and defrauded more by some Yorubas yet I will never come to say Yorubas are fraudsters or whatever.

I still live and do business with the Yorubas and I have enjoyed so much loyalties and everything good from them than I have from my own people.

Yhu idiots should travel and be enlightened than sit yhur ass down somewhere and making silly comments. Stop all these fallacies.


Stop generalising. Don't be so slow.



Mad man, how are you sure the people that defrauded you are not your fellow ndigbos. You and I know that Igbos and crime are like Siamese trins

Is that how foolish Igbos pay their respect n move when the discussion is on Wole Soyinka ? What foolish iGbo invested in your foolish father's land n what foolish ambition did they support in 2003 ?! In fact how can anyone be amazingly foolish as you have chosen to be ?

Your father are bigger bigots than Hitler himself, you can ask the foolish dead brain Azikwe who couldn't tell who holds power in a parliamentary govt btw the president n prime minister or the foolish Ojukwu that wasted 2 million of his tribesmen foolish enough to heed his steps.




Funny how 2 irredeemable bigoted eboes are fucqing themselves thinking they are fooling anyone.



Funny how people from this bigoted tribe are the ones demanding for respect. We never talk finish they are already displaying the bigotry n hate their parent nurtured them with from childhood to the extend their tribe carved a section of it own people "!OSU" so they can be hated.

What a pathetic lot.




Isn't that what your tribesmen do daily on NL ? Went tru your post n I don't see you wailing to have them stop such abi only the foolish people from your tribe owns the right to making bigoted remarks ?!
you better have pity on yourself,pity your folks and loved ones too.
This hate fit do you more than strong thing.

Slowpoke, yhu are even denser than I had imagined.

It's even shameful replying someone with a very low mental faculty like yhu.

Yhu are too slow to engage me. Please get lost, yhu low life.


This will be the last time yhu'll ever have the honour of being mentioned by me.

I am in shock cos this is coming from a bigot that was nurtured with nothing but chronic hate m irredeemable bigotry from the womb. Na today I de see foolish igbos open senseless thread insulting Soyinka Awo Tinubu n co with provocation ? Ask pachukuddie77 the biggest igbo bigot of them all. CC Farahaided or whatever foolish thing that one chose as moniker.


meccuno:
you harbour all these in your heart at this age. Then you call the people who you despise. Haters. These comments of yours were unwarranted because no one abused or insulted Yorubas but you decided to express your hate filled bitterness. What has the post up there about Achebe got to do with your personal hate filled bitterness? How a human being can move with this envy and bitterness beats my imagination. I pray whatever evil or thoughts you have for these people who have done you no harm shall be returned back to you in ten folds. That is the law of karma

He should have included how one bigoted Igbo tribe did not want a bishop from another tribe close by to lead their church. A tribe that nurture their offspring from bitj with chronic hate n irredeemable bigotry they accuse the noble Yoruba race of bigotry.

What height of foolishness will one not encounter on NL.

there's no Igbo, born of Igbo that'll ever regret his/her heritage, in fact Igbos are the most proud of their heritage, or which tribe you expect Igboman to choose over Igbo? your hatred towards them will only damage you while they keep moving on.
no one will be damaged for hating Igbo because Igbos hate more than any other tribe in the universe. You can ask the Osy in their midst, n find out why only Igbo lament they are hate by Arabs Ikwerre Hausa Fulani Yoruba Malaysians Singaporean Chinese etc

just by reading your post and the picture you posted, it will be easily concluded that yorubas are nothing else but a complete joke as a people.

If foolish Igbo insult centuries ago pls be ready for payback even after a millennium. Foolish Igbo do not own the monopoly to insult a tribe. That aside Igbo open thread daily on NL to insult Tinubu Buhari etc so this didn't happen 10 years ago so Igbo deserve all the insult it get. I am yet to see where Igbo properties are destroyed or I recommended ?! But that insult hate n bigotry you igbos dish must be paid on kind even if it take light years from now

If you return abuse for abuse on a public forum like this, then you and the one you respond to do have a long way to go.

grin I laugh at your stupidity. If I have ever opened a thread insulting Yorubas then whatever you call me I accept. Truthfully,I don't have that time. If you know me in person I don't malign any tribe but I will not keep quiet when my tribe is insulted. The only business I have with Yorubas is that I live amongst them. You must be crazy to think that because I am neutral in tribal issues that I would come early in the morning and Igbos which I am one would be Insulted. Be that as it may,the person you are supporting had no justification to start abusing Igbos without provocation speaks more about your mental sanity as one who is educated. Because an Igbo insulted you ten years ago does not mean you would wake up one morning from your miserable life to start destroying properties owned by Igbo people. Apply the wisdom your parents taught you but if they didn't use an app.

Hmm. Abusive words?

I remember the story well. The Pope had to come into the rift. It was that bad. I think it was in IMO state. A certain priest was sent down and the community there refused to acknowledge him citing tribal reasons.
