Politics / Re: Reno Omokri Compares Southern Geopolitical Nigerian Women Dressings In The 1920s by Alfo65: 1:06am On Dec 03, 2023

I will be surprised if that yoruba photo is actually from 1920, it looks several decades later. But anyways:

I think it's better to compare like with like. You're comparing yoruba women with igbo maidens undergoing marriage preparation.

For example, Igbo women from the 1920s in the first photo below and yoruba maidens in the bottom photo.

When he said there were only a few good places in Lagos, and a significant proportion of the settlement is just blatant slums. cry

This guy was not smiling when he did a tour around Nigeria.

The guy went around predominantly the western part of Nigeria and parts of the North.
He went to the biggest cities there, the ones that were no doubt constantly hyped to him prior to visiting as some of the most 'developed' areas in Nigeria.

Only to actually arrive there and see not even cities but 'slums that seemed to sprawl eternally in every direction'.

It was only a few months ago when a yoruba woman pretending to be igbo asked a similar question to an Igbo female audience, only to receive a resounding no.

A weird scene:

A Yoruba girl creates a video pretending to be Igbo, asking if she is the only Igbo girl that wants to marry Yoruba undecided

{In the video she is dancing like an Igbo person, while Igbo music plays in the background}

All of that is true, it is not even a question.

That is the reason why particular groups, too scared to compete with Igbos, would hide under fulani women when trying to beef with Igbo beauties, as we can see in this thread already.

It is also why certain groups of men keep trying to spread propaganda that Igbo women dislike Igbo men and like them instead, when in reality Igbo women no send them.

Culture / Re: The Amazing And Advanced Social Values Of Igbos Of Old by Alfo65: 12:05am On Aug 28, 2022
Narcop:
In an ironic turn of events, the criminal incident at at Enugu pointed out that Igbo social values were fast deteriorating; to the point it was rapidly reaching the level of 'civilised development' that the colonials were looking for when they arrived in Igboland.

Rethinking on the turn of events, I still feel saddened on the dramatic decline of the Igbo societal fabric, but some circumstances like this make me appreciate out ancestors even more.

Apparently, the fact that Igboland allowed people to wear what they wanted meant they were underdeveloped. For the colonists to consider them civilised, they should have been like Afghanistan.

They will rush to the thread but will be utterly disappointed.

grin People that were still making making animal sounds, living in trees and bushes, and using leaves as clothes when Ibadan was making waves with civilization and many firsts in Africa.

Why do you guys always love to project?

XerXers:

Igbo settlement pattern is decentralized. Ibadan being large is meaningless. Igbos have beautiful country side that decongest the city

Igbo's decentralised living pattern is one of the major reasons why their settlements look leagues more organised and presentable than some other places in Nigeria.

In a more decentralised setting, you can also beter maintain hygiene and your neighbourhood is less likely to look like a giant slum.

Ijaws are not igbos why will they look like igbos in the first place?

Exactly, they look nothing the dominant southern Nigerian groups. Nor is their language classified as part of the 'southern Nigerian', YEAI family.

But somehow they just look and sound like Ghanaians.

Even foreigners in the past were easily able to distinguish them and Igbos, which means that they must have migrated from somewhere relatively recently.

It is believe by many that igbos are from isreal that is why they have flat heads, have you ever see any Nigerians with flat heads like igbos? i doubt.

Nothing to get angry about. It's just that the normal Ijaws tend to be short, stocky and very black. Their features are also tend to be foreign as well.

They don't look anything like Igbos despite being neighbours, which is pretty odd.

Actually the land they occupy is not theirs, they stole those land from their host ( kirike) people. That's why you will never see any of them defending themselves on any cyberspace be it here on nairaland,facebook, or anyother platform.
They are trying so hard to please kirike people by adopting kirike culture (eg. names, tradition and so on ). Infact they even came up with this concept that they and kirike people are one and the same,because deep down in their hearts, they know that krike people don't regard them as their own.
As for Okrika people being immigrant from Ghana lol you have no idea what you are talking about,okrika people don't even share one ancestry to begin with.

Go and read son, stop displaying your ignorance for all to see.

To be honest, it is believed by many that the Ijaws originated from Ghana just like modern day ghanaian tribes, ewe and ga migrated from Nigeria.

Have you ever wondered why your original people dont look like neighbouring southern Nigerians? Many Ijaws abroad often get mistaken for Ghanaians groups, etc, Akan.

To be honest, I wish those people who are accusing Igbos of being Jews would please receive sense.

It's gotten to the point now that you can't research Igbo culture and history easily unlike some other groups; because it has been warped and perverted by that Jewish nonsense.

The truth is fulani, Edo igbo and co will rather marry within themselves than marry a woman from another place.

I'm always so ashamed seeing yorubas on Twitter lusting over habeshas and other people women while mocking their own.

Big shame

I thought I was the only one seeing that, it's so embarrassing. And it seems to be happening more regularly too. It's okay to appreciate beauty in others, but to the point when you make your own look like trash?

To make it worse, many foreigners can't differentiate and will just tag the whole lot as 'Nigerians'.
