We are talking about the slave trade era. Not today.

Did you even read the links you posted?

And the settlements were existing during the slave trade era. Actually, that was the reason for establishing them.

Just listen to the effortless ease and confidence with which these brilliant minds discuss complex ideas about African cultural identity and how it can be adapted to reflect modern societal norms.
Just watching them interact is like drinking from a fountain of wisdom.

Buhari is far better than both laureates. Lol

omonnakoda:
Well ,his clansmen had bent went he was in exile .

Yoruba say
Moja Mosa laa n mo akinkanju
Know how to fight
Know how to flee
That's the one that's truly brave
This statement refers to starting fights

My take is Ibos developmentally never evolved any form of political administration beyond the village level.

They have little understanding of statecraft and often act individually in an impulsive way heedless of consequences and unable to restrain their egos.

Those traits that serve very well for village level politics are destructive at the national level when facing larger and better organised adversaries .

Okonkwo personifies a strong Individual incapable of subordinating his pride and ego to reality

Same as we saw with Ojukwu in 1967 and more recently Nnamdi Kanu

Haha omonnakoda, you again? What did Igbos do to you bikonu?

It's very odd that you spend so much time thinking about them when they could care less about you or your clan.

It is already established several times here that Igbos are very different from you lots, so it makes sense that you can't understand their society or values.

That's why Igbos want their own homogeneous country, so they can be free to uphold their traditional egalitarian and republic values and Nigerians can be free to regress back to their traditional feudalistic, "abobaku" style society .

I will keep on asking this question are yorubas truly cursed. Why so much evil. Tufiakwa.

selemempe:
yes i noticed that. The ibos seem embodied in okonkwo. A man who will rather commit suicide than bend to tyrant.

In your opinion, what do you think about that ibo character

[/s]Another cursed tribalistic skull miner.

omonnakoda:

First I don't know what you mean by correctly.

You are not comparing like with like.

Wole Soyinka was a University lecturer of literature ,a playwright and dramatist
Buhari is of the same Generation

Unless my ears got corona... they effortlessly pronounced words like strength, the, those, that etal correctly unlike today’s celebrities/journalists, news anchors that try so hard to sound like UK/US peeps

Effortlessly? Correctly
Do not allow your mind to be colonised



Wole Soyinka and his generation were educated by colonialist white men in secondary school.Our generation was not
Wole Soyinka was a theatre practitioner which means more than average professional voice training

But our generation is more obsessed with fake US/UK accents than pronouncing words correctly. Somebody like Sanusi Lamido has good diction and pronounces correctly without imitating Oyibo accents
