I dont think you deserve to be taught about Igbo culture. Your posting history have been largely anti-Igbo.

how is it anti-igbo

explain

how does my post make you suggest that i am anti-igbo

i do everything on this forum to make us look good and u call mme anti-igbo

maybe something i post things that might be deemed as an offessive post to igbo people but i just like to post the truth so we can learn from some of the mistakes we do on this forum

jerseyboy:
Tinubu is a THIEF.
Tinubu is a Certficate FORGER.
Tinubu settled DRUG TRAFFICKING and money laundering charges with US law enforcement agency.
Tinubu has the most documented case of operating illegal foreign accounts with several account numbers published with balances.
TINUBU ROBBED LAGOS AND IS STILL RUBBING LAGOS BLIND.

gbammm

a big thief

it is only fashola and adam that is making him look good

Jakumo:
Sadly, Ayatollah Buhari is suffering from the advaced stages of penile syphilis, which he contracted from a nocturnal liaison with a dead camel, but even worse, what remains of his brain has, due to this grievous illness, shrivelled down to a microscopic size small enough to be dislodged and vented out of his bony cranium via his enormous ears, should the slightest wind blow when he is outdoors.   

Ayatollah Buhari's hysterical ranting and issuance of daily ultimatums are all well known medical symptoms of his severely debilitated physical and mental condition.  I submit this disclosure with bitter tears in my eyes, knowing that my favourite punch-bag will soon be fertilizing the desert soil of his goat herding village, for the rest of all time, and after LOSING ten consecutive presidential elections in a row.

is he telling a lie

how is he suffering from whatever u call it,,, if a country at 50 yrs of independence can not have constant eleelectricityood secsecuritystem, a free and fair election, 2.1 billion can go missing and no one can locate the money back

capcapitalojects are for looters for the taken

no good road, boko haram, mend, opc , massop etc are all there, why should we still be in nigeria

buhari is right

[quote author=Musiwa, link=topic=574686.msg7422044#msg7422044 date=1293547340]There is injustice inplace and we cant allow the Injustice to continue, and Jonathan is not willing to change the injustice, how can you think, we would vote for him. Yoruba people will not vote for PDP, Jonathan should not take it personal , it is an issue of injustice his Party the PDP have done against the Yoruba people, which his govt have refused to change. And do not intend to change. And we too do not intend to vote for the PDP. It has nothing to do with his ethnics group. Just a matter of correct injustice. even if you change him, they dont trust the PDP, no matter the person

this is where Obasanjo lives Ota. see how the place looks like.[/quote]hmmmm hm hmm hm hmmmm hmmmmmmmmm hmmmm hm hmh hmhmh hm hmmmm

I understood what Tench is saying. But I'm going by the sense of the word Os's which means those devoted to the service of the gods. His own point is that such devoted ones are not considered outcasts in his place. I agree, but that doesn't change the fact that their family is tied to those gods. It's just the belief system that determines how you consider certain concepts.

OK brother, i perfectly understand what you are saying but if that is the case, most Yoruba's go by the name fadeye, etc does that mean they are also outcast (i know they are osu) because my say in Lagos about 80% of the people i meant we either fa something (ifa) or sangodeyi (Sango) or even ogunsola (ogun) etc,,,, please i would like you knowledge on this

thanks

Akhenaten:
Haven't you heard of the untouchables (dalits) in India? They are one of the largest outcast groups in the world. 160 million Indians are considered untouchables, in which they are the lowest of India's caste system and are treated with disdain.

In Hawaii you have the Kauwa caste, which are considered the slave out outcast caste. Among the Wolof, you have the the jaam, which are considered the slave caste and the neeno, which are the underclass.

The Somali people also have a caste system as well, in which the Mahdiban are considered outcasts. You will also find outcast among the Tuareg and in Mauritania as well.

That really speaks volumes about your limited knowledge of the world. Now stop making ignorant statements. Cause your post make you look like an asinine buffoon.

i am not in a fight with u oooooo

but do not bring the fight to me or else u will HATE nairaland for the rest of your life,, i tell ya

i hope you know my past history so do not even try to take insults at me

thank you

i hope you will understand and behave youself before it is too late

knowing you are new on nairaland, just take it easy because your blood is still hot

bashr4:
i have noticed that a lot of igbos in lagos ,abuja and abroad cant even speak igbo or have not even been to igboland , igbo parents need to do more to make their kids more igbotic, the yorubas seems to be doing a better job in terms of teaching their kids their language and culture.

sorry bashr4, please and please each time you bring yoruba name or compare yoruba to us igbos it breaks my heart

you make them look as if they are better than us

why can't u just make the topic with out comparing it to yoruba people

Afam:
Ghaddafi is 100% correct here. It was very wrong for Nigeria to hand over Charles Taylor for war crimes because he was betrayed by Nigeria who promised to host him if he would agree to leave Liberia to put an end to the war there.

This is an issue that bothers on trust and credibility and one can only imagine what would happen if a similar scenario plays out where the head of state is being asked to leave the country for the sake of peace - obviously such a leader would cite the Taylor treatment and betrayal and would refuse which means that future mediations led by Nigeria will not be deemed serious or credible.

Why must the West demand for the trial of African leaders and a few other leaders from outside Africa where as the powerful nations commit worse crimes and their presidents are never tried?

Why is Bush not facing war crime charges in the Hague for the illegal invasion of Iraq based on lies that has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands if not millions?

Handing over Charles Taylor was wrong and unfortunate. This decision will hurt Nigeria the most as time goes on because we have basically told the world that we cannot be trusted to keep to our words.

Instead of attacking Ghaddafi we should analyze his comments. The average Nigerian is not doing any better than the average Libyan and that is based on the people oriented projects and policies of this man. Good leadership is about the citizens being happy not about whether the White House of No 10 Downing Street approves of such leadership.

bros what are you talkin about

Kobojunkie:
It is apparent from many of the responses on the thread that the politicians themselves are not the major problem to dealing with all the corrupt politicians. The people who continue to be enamored with them are.

gbam

in as much as i do not really like you nor support your views,,,, this time i totally agree

if the corrupt politicians are protected by there people how can corruption be tackled

from all of the above comment, i notice that most of u if not all of you like knowledge of islam or anything about religion and region

must of u here just like the idea terrorism is blamed on people of the north

Then you dont know what an Osu is. That you dont discriminate against them in your place doesn't make it different from the way they would have been treated were it in Igbo land.



Idol worshipping is not just extolled in Igbo land. Osus are in the sense of the world supposed to be given special respect, since they are in the service of the gods.

Like I previously said, Osus are everywhere in the world. The only difference is that they are seen as ill-luck in Igboland and thus treated as  'outcasts', while in other lands they are revered and respected.

Moreover, this isn't about Yoruba vs Igbo thing. I've been trying to get similar situations from other cultures, though it's hard since not much is published about these peoples. So take your tribalistic mind elsewhere.

EDITED: Slightly

tewmuch, i do not think u understand what tewmuch has posted

he is saying there are no osu in there land,,, he said those surnames are given to families that have worshiped some god in the olden days

i really do not think there are osu's in yorubaland or anywhere else expect maybe briton (gypsis) but all in all i will be happy if that part of our culture is gone

@alhajrem, you likd jumping to unreasonable conclusions, why is Tinubu a crook? Substantiate your claim or GET LOST

@alhajrem, you likd jumping to unreasonable conclusions, why is Tinubu a crook? Substantiate your claim or GET LOST

also, did you know why fashola and tiunbu fought last year

is it not because of tinubu tax company with 2.1bn lagos state money

Ola edo:
Here we go again.Always worried about yoruba business.  or do i not go to igbo business also

can i ask why i can not join yoruba business,,, am i not a nigerian again or do i not go to igbo business also no tell me

seanet02:
@alhajrem, you likd jumping to unreasonable conclusions, why is Tinubu a crook? Substantiate your claim or GET LOST

ok, did you hear of the railway project

he borrowed some couple of millions from the world bank,,,, in the name of lagos state

is lagos state is in debt,,,,,,

this project he did not do,,,,,

and were is the money he borrowed

fstranger6:
Well, FYI, this is NIgeria

Everything goes!

OBJ threatened Peter Odili with arrest in 2007; that was the reason Odili dropped out of the race.  

Abiola was arrested after he won an election!

So I wouldnt put anything past GEJ; Tinubu is a crook and they can legally arrest him

And BTW, they dont have to arrest him, they can also kill him, prolly a better option.

thank you

seant

i undersatand that tiunbu is viewed as your leader but he is a crook and can never be compared to awolowo or even jakande

during tiunbu era what did he do your your yoruba people not to talk of lagosain

he was even fighting with fashola the person that makes him look good

tinubu is really not good for the yoruba people, he has too many enemies and even in lagos he is not loved

even isale eko(real lagos of lagos) he is not loved there because of Ajose who rules that area does not llike him

Ola edo:
I agree Jonathan will definitely lose votes off of that act alone.Would make him seem just like the average joe nigerian politician. The outcome of the Delta governorship elections has begun to paint him in that way.

how is it because PDP won

and do not tell me it is because of ballots were stolen etc because there is no evidence or report of it

hmm

hmm

Kobojunkie:
WOW . . .  you really do believe this all has something to do with your person, don't you?   Anyways, I have lived long enough to know not to expect any rational analysis from persons who argue from an angle caked in sentiments. So, if you want to believe that this rumour has something to do with you or will directly affect you in one way or another, go right ahead, I will not ruin your delusion there. 

kobo, you really lack manners when you post

seanet02:
Kobo, do you want to enjoy the peanuts GJ gave to you? Gj dare not. Dont forget the REMOTE CAUSES OF THE COLLAPSE OF THE FIRST AND THIRD REPUBLIC!!! Yoruba will not take any insult from GJ. Dont send call me back to death neither do you flash it. Kobo, on "FI ORI OKA RUN IMU"

what insult how will the country progress if you people (yorubas or whatever group) do not see him as a leader or president

why can't him arrest tiunbu

jason jason jason,,,,io beg shattap dai
u are shouting tinubu etc opc etc

is tinubu not a thief just because fashola and adam osh are doing well does not make him a good leader

ibb ciroma and co u are shouting about are all going to die soonest etc one is about 70 years so stop this ur stu.pid rant and open your eyes

violent:
^^

Please what?

I'm not putting in a word for Tinubu, but it beats my imagination that the Federal government will be looking to arrest the AC leader while OBJ is playing "AYO" and eating bitter kola in his Otta Mansion!

c'mon violent,, tinubu is one of the most corrupt people in nigeria follow by obj and ibb and co

do not think because fashola is there, makes tinubu a saint.

i think they should arrest him as soon as possible,

Andre Uweh:
Superstition was very rife in the 19th century Igboland and Africa. What our fathers believed in then is not what we believed in today. They so much believed in the santity of ALA, as a result they will go to any extent to keep it sacred.
But killing of twins was not Igbowide, only a handful of clans practiced it then including my own very clan. It was prominent in the Ibibio-Efik areas as a result Mary Slessor devoted her time fighting against this obnoxious tradition in that area.
At the moment, we should be thankful to christianity for all the good tidings it brought to mankind not just in Africa but the entire universe.

thank you Andre for sharing with us



fstranger, i think you should respect there culture, because it is a rich an vibrant culture

also, abortion is not any better than killing of twin when they are born

violent:
dude Boko Haram killed over 750 people using machetes and axes in 2009, at what point in the death toll do we qualify to become another Afghanistan?

a political solution will NOT solve a problem that is largely religious, those guys were taught it is the acceptable, and honorable thing to kill infidels , and unless these teachings are stopped in earnest, they'd continue to kill faster than my neighbor can tell lies

i am not sure of the figures but u made a good point there

the problem is not the religion but the politicians that are using our religion as a tool for violence

this is taught to the illiterates and those that do not really know much about Islam

i mean the leader of boko haram a leader that is meant to be arrested for treason 

our religion has never preached violence before but in recent times there is a disturbing thread that is going on,,,may be due to the media of america

but in the past it is not so

also, illegal school are built were children are been taught crap about islam  they should be raided and destroyed

if a region recieves less public attention, terrorism takes place

beautiful

can't wait till it gets done

balo:


we need dem abeg, their presence is long overdue
9ja problem needs "spiritual solution"

i think you are right, but not in terms of witches and wizards i think that is too extreme of a solution

all we need now is just to pray to Allah for hope and a future for this country

i hope this is not beaf's job

when and why did chad attack nigeria?

in lake chad, there are islands there, this islands contains people from borno empire and other chad people

now because of the years of negelate of border by the nigerian government over the years, the chad took the opportunity to call those island as there's,,,,,, at least that's what i know
