diffusional or genetic resemblance''


If you really want to classify languages under your terms, Mr poster
You will find that the whole world really does speak one language.

The 'Edo' language does not exist, please where are the 1million speaking this language??

Well, It's the process called Assimilation, that's not to say they are Yoruba.
If a Monkey wears a suit today and bears the name ''Chyz'', Does that make it a human being?

EzeUche22:
I will extend the olive branch to the Yoruba if they give me three of their finest daughters for marriage. That will seal the deal and my and favor.

jahrule:
why is it that whenever any person talk about yoruba Legends topic on NL, The Igbo guys on NL always start abusing in the tread. why can`t you people keep shot and go to any other tread if you have nothing to contribute to the tread. Are you jealous of the Yorubas or what? if not pls stop abusing people personalities because you cannot produce someone that can give you an astonishing achievement, stop being biased when analysing issue. Awolowo remain a great legend & his legacy will continue.

mukina2:
Yes, I am a tribalist my colour is Green, white and blue
The thread is where it should have been created and where it should have been moved to long ago.
its about a tribe ,its in culture, it has nothing to do with the politic section.

mukina2:
I moved it.

Chinenye, my issue with you as a person is that you don't even admit your intentions. You always deny it when confronted, and you accuse me of being presumptuous, or drawing conclusions without facts. You are clannish to a fault, and frankly I have nothing to say to you because there are other Ngwas here who should say them to you.

On your accusation that I am clueless about clannish issues, let me double assure you that I am not. I only think that they are childish and stoopid, and should be the least of my concerns when I am fighting for the survival of Igbo.

You want me to focus on them, right? So, why not I focus on my blood brothers whom I have issues with? Or my cousins, uncles, umu nna, village, or town?

Why should I not even be at war with myself, after all I argue with myself before I make a decision? Why not I split myself into clans?

I would say this: Anyone who cannot see beyond his clan has no business discussing Igbo matters, and I would henceforth belittle and ignore anyone who comes here to tell me about Igbo clan issues.

THIS IS THE INTERNET. Everybody is reading what we say here.
If you have issues with other Igbo clans, go to Aba and tell them there.

Guys if you ask me, i would say that this guy is saying the truth,The reason is that he has nothing to loose by saying it now,remember he is already and old man so it will be better he says the truth now before he goes to join his ancestors.
I am IGBO,as i am a Nigerian and i believe in unity hence i believe we should analyse the historical facts before making conclusions.The events surrounding 1966 will forever be a source of debates and theories because the principal actors are either dead or those that are alive will not want to say the actual facts(because they are the beneficiaries of this confusion that has continued to haunt us) in order to put this matter to rest let the nation move forward.But lets not forget one thing which all the principal actors in both coups acknowledged.Chief Awolowo was the one that was to be installed as the Prime minister.
We IGBOS suffered the biafran war because of Ironsi's careless attitude.Why i said this is because his inaction in prosecuting Nzeogwu and Co was actually labelled by the Northern Officers(Murtala,Danjuma and Co) was labelled as tribalistic.If he had acted decisively then considering that a particular region was nursing bad blood already,the careless loss of lives would not have been,because if you look at 1966 the electoral violence was centred in the Western region the Igbos had nothing to loose in the political scheme of things,judging from the fact that we were amongst the top officers in the Military and Civil service and we also had captains of industry then too.Hence my conclusion is that Nzeogwu's stemmed from the feeling of saving the country at that time and installing a leadership that was more people oriented,and i also believe that the elder statesman revelation is infact Correct. I REST MY CASE

komando.:
My only regret is the lack of participation of our women in this discourse. I had expected to hear from Ohsisi who is one of the biggest authorities of Igbo history on Nairaland. The Amaka showed consistency in the opening pages of the thread. Our Umuada we expected/expect more from you. The best female participant award should go to Ijaw-girl. I disagreed with almost everything she said, but I respected the fact that she fully represented for her people. Kudos to her. She is a real daughter of the East.

mens dept:
Has anyone cared to ask why there's no Anioma State today? That is relevant to this topic
