Mad men


They are not even richest people in their community but misbehaving

justtoodark:
your sistas and blodas are terrorits....

Your Father, mother, sister, all descendants of Uthman Danfodio and prophet Muhammad are all terrorists

Not surprised

The same man that filled sand in bag of rice and mixed with some bag of real rice then built a pyramid


Edited: OK not him
That's Ogun state governor

justtoodark:
your fada is a terrorits....

Your father and mother are terrorists

Who the fvcks are the "we"?

Buhari is a terrorist.

Smh

Real women go for

God is a Fool

We are still hoping for the 3 million jobs Buhari and Osibanjo promised us!

If you can't find the right man, get the wrong man and make him right

bibe:
But the face in the isi agu is that of a lion. OP is right, cos I remember that line "odum na egbu agu" vividly.

What you see obiano and kachikwu wearing are leopard skins (agu) while the face on the isi agu prints is that of lion (odum)

What are you saying, Agu is Leopard and I never doubt it, the clothes should be of Leopold skin,
The op claimed that the people who introduced it made a mistake naming it isi-agu instead of isi-odum.
And I said the isi-agu is right because that's what our forefathers wore.

emmysoftyou:
oga this your assumptions is the biggest lie so far from this thread.

All what you said is not close to whatever they believe.
The Hausa and Fulani including middle belt had been living together before the coming of Nigeria.
Don't bring emotive defense here.

Which middle belt? Unless you meant already conquered Niger State and others, go check the map of the Fulani(Uthman Danfodio) conquered territory and know where they are fighting next to conquer

greypencils:
The East was hard hit. The war didnt go beyond Benin-Ore road for Yoruba's. The north felt nothing. No Yoruba child died, no northern child died. I still have pictures of my grandfather's tenant's Igbo children that died during the war. I grew up knowing this stories because my aunts and uncles were all in sapele. We can never live in peace until we realise that we were wrong, our leaders were wrong to see war as a final solution. They surely would suffer for their sins. Innocent people died, people who had no business with the war died.

Don't mind that idiot
Biafran soldiers didn't kill the Efik Ibibio,
Cross River and Akwaibom where in fully support of Biafra and fought for Biafra with the Igbo's against Nigeria,

poseidon12:
Nwabobo, thanks a bunch for posting this article from The Cable.
I didn't know about Chris Mayrock and Steve Jobs support for us in Biafra. God bless their souls. Whites are generally closer to God than blacks. I used to view Whites as racist generally, until my room mate in college in US, who is White told me about how his mom made him and his siblings donate food and clothings to be sent to the starving children in Biafra. His mom would scold them for wasting food while children are starving to death in Biafra. I felt eternally grateful.
Nigeria will never recover from the civil war as long as they keep living in denial of the atrocities they committed against Biafra.
I forgive Gowon, Danjuma and co. But Karma is real.
We should always strive to be on the side of truth. That war should not have happened. Gowon and Co should have kept to the Aburi Accord.
Buhari and the Fulani seem bent on leading Nigeria into the second and final civil war which will definitely lead to the disintegration of Nigeria. It is good that an influential person like Danjuma is speaking out. More people like him need to speak out so that Buhari will not succeed in finally destroying Nigeria.

Steve Job is became an atheist when he saw the images of starved Biafran kids

Strikethem:
Where do you belong, today, you abuse afonja, tomorrow, you abuse Igbo. Is it desperation for likes? Only those that do not know your chameleon character on this forum take you seriously.

Leave those Hausa/Fulani

Is isi-agụ the right name for this cloth material that is associated with the Igbos?

Yes, isi-agụ is its correct name but what is on the cloth is isi ọdụm (lion's head), not isi agụ (leopard's head)

Does that nullify the name? No.

Is it the first time a wrong name has been given to something in Igbo, English, Latin, etc? No.

The people who named this cloth mistakenly called it isi-agụ. But that wrong name has become its name. It can't be changed soon. It does not even matter anymore.

It is that mistake that contributed to the confusion many Igbos who are under 50 have over which animal is agụ and which one is ọdụm.

Ọdụm is lion.

Agụ is leopard.

That is why we say: Ọdụm na-egbu agụ (the lion that kills the leopard). That is why God is called Ọdụm nke ebo Juda (the Lion of the tribe of Juda).

Tiger never existed in Africa and was never seen or known by our forefathers. So they had no name for it. But in modern times, some people also call the tiger agụ. However, I have suggested that it be called agụ-ukwu (the big leopard), because it is the biggest of the big cats, while cheetah should be called agụ-ọsọ (the speed leopard), because it is the fastest land animal.

So should isi-agụ be changed to isi- ọdụm? It is not necessary. Languages don't develop like that.

Similar mistakes had been made in Igbo before. Some months ago, I asked people on Facebook what is the Igbo name for library, since school is already called ụlọ akwụkwọ (book house), and what is the Igbo name for pharmacy, since hospital is already called ụlọ ọgwụ (drug house). It caused a lot of confusion and introspection.

School has been "erroneously" named ụlọ akwụkwọ. It can't be changed anymore. Library will have to get a different name. Same goes for pharmacy.

In English, similar mistakes have been made countless times. When the world erroneously thought the earth was flat, they coined the words "sunrise" and "sunset", believing that the sun rose from the east and set in the west. Centuries ago it was discovered and certified that the sun never rises and never sets. Rather the earth rotates round the sun. Centuries after, the words sunset and sunrise have not been abolished in English. We use it everyday even though we know sunset and sunrise are scientifically wrong and non-existent.

Similarly, the months September means 7th month (ie septuagenarian); October means 8th month (ie octagon, octogenarian); November means 9th month (ie nonagon, nonagenarian); December means 10th month (ie decimal, decade, decimetre). But in reality they are 9th, 10, 11th, 12th month respectively in the Gregorian calendar we use today. This is because the old calender did not capture 2 months. The current calendar captured them, gave them names and adjusted the months by 2 months, causing the mix-up we have today. But nobody bothers to change the names of the months to reflect their true meanings.

Again when Christopher Columbus set out for India through a different route, he landed in North America. Thinking it was another part of India, he called the indigenous people he saw there Red Indians. West Indies also got its name via that mistake. These names have stuck till today even though North America has no connection with India.

So isi-agụ was mistakenly named by those who didn't know the difference between agụ (leopard) and ọdụm (lion). But that name has stuck. It can't be changed now. Isi-agụ is its name.

Interestingly, some isi-agụ materials bear no animal pictures (as can be seen in some of the attached pictures), but are still called isi-agụ. Some even have the pictures of other animals but are still called isi-agụ. So it is no longer the picture drawn on this material that makes people call it isi-agụ. It is the material and what it represents. It is the cloth material that points to the Igbos as a people. The Igbos have adopted it as the cloth that gives them their identity. So isi-agụ is it!

If you don't have your isi-agụ, nwanne, ndo.

Bro. Isi-agu is the real name, there was no mistake, our rich forefathers use the agu skin to make clothe and not the odum's skin, that's why modern Igbos stick to the isi-agu as their identity.
Just like Ibe Kachukwu and Obiano wore it.
Thanks, you tried.

There was a title for great people then like Ogbuagu.

Our leaders sef!

davidodiba:
I saw the pics of China and Japan you posted along your opinion on religion. It's pity you think there is no God. I may not be able to help you think otherwise but there is something I want you to do, allow China and Japan have control over the air they breathe, over the rains that fall and over the mystery of dying....maybe then you can conclude but for now...ONLY THE FOOL SAYS IN HIS HEART 'THERE IS NO GOD'

I prefer a foolish government like the Japanese and Chinese to Nigeria and other countries that hold religion high

If the fools understand that there is no God, what's your problem understanding it?!

From the same guy that wants to dump Yoruba culture and Change to Fulani culture?

He wants to become an emir in Yoruba land

Forta:
You must be very daft

You must be foolish

joudini:
Don't be a dummy. Have you heard of helicopters? It is a magical invention that is powered by engines to make it fly. It can take off and land anywhere with minimal space. There has been rumours of helicopters making drops to Boko haram. This solidifies that claim.

According to you clowns, anybody with constructive criticism against the govt is because of hate. Bill Gates also hates the govt too.

Pathetic filth.

They were taken to Chad or Niger then fly them with plane in that country

limeta:
We were flown in planes ,
to which airport
Anyway what am I saying
Buhari pls go and leave us alone resign

They were flown to Chad

PFRB:
This is the real issue. One of the Chibok girls narrated how helicopters used to drop supplies to the Boko Haram . Now we hear of the victims being air lifted. Planes, helicopters, trucks, buses etc etc. ? ? ? ? ?

They were flown to Chad

The governor of Kogi made the Fulani herdsmen indigenous people of Kogi State, gave them more land than they demanded and supported them, yet the Fulani slaughtered them like fouls.
Now the Kogi people have asked them to leave and the Fulani herdsmen are talking of peace meeting

Hmm
