These politicians already know that they are not just strangers but enemies to Ndigbo in Alaigbo.
Is this how he will govern the state when he has trust for his own safety in it?

Lol. The hunters think they can kill dozens of Fulani Herdsmen/Bandits and go scot free.
Where is my popcorn? This Niger state movie go sweet pass Plateau own

I knew some idiot would bring up this falsehood. But repeating a lie multiple times doesn't make it truth.

The agbada style clothing isn't synonymous only with the Yoruba's but the fabric such as aso-oke done in parts of Oyo and adire done in parts of ogun state for hundreds of years ago is testament to the fact that we didn't inherit agbada from any fulani from futa jalo.....plus have you even taken time to research the typical fulani dressing? A simple google search would cure your ignorance; first picture below is the known fulani dressing, after that is an ancient picture of an ibadan bride, groom and his best man taken in the early 19th century, after that is a picture of Igbo women taken around the same time.....you can't revise history to help your damaged ego unfortunately.

Are you talking about this Oyo or another one?
PS: The picture was taken not far from now. Even the people in the picture are waiting for a Motor (lorry)

And what you showed as Yoruba clothing (Aso oke and the rest) are actually Fulani clothing. A little research would have saved you from this self induced embarrassment. As we progress I will be posting the real Fulani clothing you got the Aso oke from and where it happened. FULANI was the ones that clothed and civilised Yorubas not Britain

TheLionofLasigi:
Demonic history revisionist. Abdul wasn't even a Yoruba name so how would a yoruba witch doctor bear the name abdul witch is clearly an Islamic name, plus reverse search those images and you'd find out that those are American Samoans. In your stupidity you failed simply edited a picture without doing your scam well. Dumb flatin0 pig, and you're yet to show us pictures of your fashion designer gucci tribesmen stupid rettarded bush running ngwua cannibals.

An Afonja always deny and betray each other.
See the way you have denied Prince Adeliayo Glawumi of ABEOKUTA and his witch doctor Abdul. If you know your people's history you would have known that many Yorubas have been converted and civilised by the Fulani by then but many after accepting Islam still went back to traditional religion with their Islamic names (that is why the North and Fulani can never accept Yorubas as true Muslims).
Now that aside.
What do you have to say about the Ijebu Women of Lagos below?

TheLionofLasigi:
Red cap like isi-agwu is a recent introduction in Igbo culture. Your fore fathers had no civilization talkless of an empire.....they ran around, hunted and fvcked around half naked in the forest.....your dressing was similar to that of the Zulu's of south africa....not that it's a bad thing. Have you seen Zulu women in their traditional wears....the problem with you Igbos is that you're always trying so hard to westernize your culture.

Ndigbo were fashion designers before the white people came

It is only one tribe out of the big three that dressed like zulu and I have receipt for my ascertion

sarrki:
General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu gave his last speech as Biafran Head-of-State before leaving for Côte d'Ivoire, on this date. On that occasion, he said:
“In the three years of the war, necessity gave birth to invention. During those three years of heroic bound, we leapt across the great chasm that separates knowledge from know-how. We built rockets, and we designed and built our own delivery systems. We guided our rockets. We guided them far, we guided them accurately.

For three years, blockaded without hope of import, we maintained all our vehicles. The state extracted and refined petrol, individuals refined petrol in their back gardens. We built and maintained our airports, maintained them under heavy bombardment.

Despite the heavy bombardment, we recovered so quickly after each raid that we were able to maintain the record for the busiest airport in the continent of Africa. We spoke to the world through telecommunication system engineered by local ingenuity; the world heard us and spoke back to us! We built armoured car tanks. We modified aircraft from trainer to fighters, from passenger aircraft to bombers. In the three years of freedom we had broken the technological barrier.

@emboldened, we(Ndigbo) have really broken the Technological Barrier.
That is why we are not in the same level with the Nigerians surrounding us.
It is fruitless for a Nigerian to compete with an Igbo man because the barrier was broken by our father's not us, so we are merely walking through paved path.
Nobody how much Nigeria increase cut off for Ndigbo in their universities, we will still excel and get admission because we are not in the same level with them.

God bless Alaigbo

Fejoku:
You don't know history nwanna. We are talking about mid 19th century yet here you are telling us about early 20th century. When was Nana of Itsekiri deposed and Dore Numa appointed as Warrant Chief? I know this topic more than you. Allow the matter to die.
Some Igbo clans had kings but such kings weren't absolute as is found other places. History recorded the interaction the Europeans had with such men. If Eze Obi Ossai and Jaja of Opobo weren't recorded, you would have argued if such men ever existed.
Go and read up about the British expedition on the River Niger in the early 19th century. There you will learn more about our people.
A lot of Igbos don't know much about our history.

Never learn Igbo history from Wikipedia or some journals by Anglophilic people.
If you are conversant with Igbo history you will realise that there was a mad obsession in trying to make our history, political structure and way of life look like that of our neighbours because then they thought that was the thing. They never saw the sophistication of our Democratic lifestyle until date.
Such obsession brought about;
1) Communities being founded by one man
2) ERI being the father of all Ndigbo
3) One king like that existing and names made up to back it up
4) Now the new one is Ndigbo being of Jewish origin.
It was the same obsession that made NCNC reinstate Traditional Rulers in 1950, almost 30 years after abolition by the British. The result was that most of the reinstated were sons of former ones abolished on seat, thus bringing about the lie that some monarchy was hereditary in Alaigbo. This didn't last long until the military cemented it in 1975 with their decree.
Like I told him (Abohboy) before, you as well should investigate.
What you read online is not the real Igbo history or even close to it.
That was how they lied of Eze Nri, Aro and Onitsha being ancient kingdoms until that one was demystified.
Investigate

Boko Haram has finally made it.
I reserve my congratulations for Pantami.

This is the effect of PUBG

Totilopussylick:

He deserve to be keep out of the street.

Black people. Chai
Who do una this thing?

TripleOh7:
Lol.

Christianity and Islam are tools of oppression.

Even till date.

Exactly. I believe this generation will break this chain of white supremacists

Fejoku:
You don't know history so it's best you avoid this history. Obi Ossai was so powerful that the British had to send an advance party to get clearance before they head to Aboh. How can you now claim he was a warrant chief ( instituted by the British)?. It's better you go and read up more on our history. Like I said, kingship among Igbos wasn't something we celebrated. It was more of a religious head assumed a communal leader or a ceremonial position. Warrant chiefs started after the partitioning of Africa in the Berlin conference.

Mtcheww... I think I have explained this your confusion somewhere.
I don't have energy to repeat it. Just read about the Warri protest in early 20th century and the warrant chiefs the protest was against.
I don't have time to clarify Nollywood induced history today

The same people that believe and broadcast that Ndigbo are not united are the same ones saying that Ndigbo meet once a year to discuss an agenda against them
Is this not the greatest confusion mankind has ever seen?

Finally the reform is coming to Islam.
All thanks to our new mummy GO Aisha

Fejoku:
You're wrong about the Eze title. It is the right word for king in Igbo language. What we may argue about is the concept of kingship as is widely held by others. Igbos by default don't subscribe to kingship with absolute powers. The few kings like Eze Obi Ossai of Aboh and Jaja of Opobo were only revered because of how strong they were possessing both armed men and much wealth that caused fear among any would-be dissidents. Other Igbo kings were either powerful priests like Eze Nri or ceremonial like Obi of Onitsha or Eze Aro. Most other unknown Igbo kings were mostly ceremonial. If you ask the Nnewi people, they will tell you their kingship stool has been around before the British came. How come were such kings not known or recognized? It's simply because they were ceremonial without absolute powers to command any person to be put to death. This is the type of leadership that sits more comfortable with our people.
Obi of Aboh(I don't know the specific one you're speaking of) wasn't any warrant chief. The most famous of all the Ezes of Aboh being Eze Obi Ossai, died in the early 1840s. His son Eze Obi Chukwuma succeeded him. This one wasn't as strong and influential as his father. He did welcome the British especially the missionaries as his father advised him.

You must be talking from a Nollywood point of view.
All the people you listed were all warrant chiefs (with exception of Jaja who was a mere beaurocrat) which the British later abolished in 1929

I understood nothing from it.

Fool

TripleOh7:
Most people will not understand this meme.

Jihadhists and Crusaders joining forces to clubber down gays, blacks, feminists etc

This is exactly what I saw.
Both Christians and Muslims see we black same was as Gays, feminists and everything impure. This is why I am a proud Igbo man. A proud black man and I have denounced all the stupid religion designed to keep my people down forever

Nobody has right to decide for anyone. So Afonjas can never decide for us.
If they want new Nigeria then what it means is that it will be a new Nigeria with people that also want it. In that case I believe it is only Fulani that wants New Nigeria.
We from the right hand of God wants Alaigbo.
Simple

Back to the matter, all I have to say is that Annie Marculay messed with the wrong family and fans.
Idibia is not Okoye's family.
Tuface is not Peter Okoye

saphiere:
The want women to shut up

You are the one the whole world wants to shut up. But because we are liberals, we will allow you to air your confusion

Annie Marculay messed with the wrong circle, family and fans.
She thought she was married into Psquares Okoye yeye family.
On behalf of Tuface, family, friends, fans and well wishers "welcome to the Idibia Family". Madam Marculay

Annie Idibia messed with the wrong circle, the wrong family and the wrong fans.
She thought she was married into Psquares Okoye yeye family.
On behalf of Tuface, welcome to the Idibia Family. Madam Marculay

Depending on who the Nigerians he is talking about are.
Probably his supporters below

Even if you’ve unambiguously explained to a donkey, it will still choose to be obstinate, one of the great wonders of Confucius.

Thanks for buttressing my point

Oba Afonja stop doing damage control, you and your baban Riga were bounced out by security men at the gate.
Its not something to be ashamed of

Abohboy:
Go and read about Baghdad at it's peak and the golden age of Islam google is your friend.

The numerals we use today were made in India but spread by the Arabs they were a bridge between Asia and the Western World

You're really going to ignore how Spain owned 20% of the world at a time it was once a world superpower also the Islamic Moors did a lot for Spain and if you bothered to use google you'd see why

Islamic radicalization I have no clue of how it started but Islam is not just bloodshed and inshallah as far as I know there's a source of the violence and it isn't always Islam

I am not Muslim I am a Christian who just reads about African Religions and enjoys history

It was also the Arab Muslims that extensively used and spread Compass, thus marking the age of navigation. That was how the ottomans maintained control of the waters because they understood it better than the west that copied.
Unlike our neighbouring Muslims, the ones in the real desert really helped science.
They were the first to apply the Chinese invention (gun powder) in warfare (Persians) thus marking the beginning of modern warfare. So that is why I laugh at black ignoramus that mock Taliban for using US weapons saying that they are copying the West not knowing that those people (Afghans) are the real Owners of the Silk Road those inventions exchanged hands

Abohboy:
Actually you're right they only had Eze's but the British labelled them as Kings

Indirect rule was very evil but in some communities the Kings did actually sell out for example where i'm from the Obi of Aboh didn't care much for their traditional religion all he cared about was what would make the city grow faster and what would bring in more trade so when the British told him that without Christianity he can't be rich and indulge in trade he allowed dozens of missionaries into Aboh and that was where the decline started

There was nothing like Eze either.
Ndigbo never had any word for King. The word Eze was reserved for Priests as Eze mmụọ per Say.
Thats why those they wrongly attributed as Kings were never kings but Priests. Example Eze Nri, Eze Arọ, Eze Chime etc.
When you are ready, research about the Obi of Aboh. He is the first warrant chief.
Places like Ubani and Opobo had their richest called Kings, a type of Bureaucracy.

Where is Asari Dokunbo from?

Have you heard of abandoned property?

Ekealterego:
Actually, the first written account of New Calabar in New Calabar written in English was in 1699 by James Barbot. He witnessed and wrote about it.
He was the first person to also collect the Igbo swords during this same voyage.
He was the one who first observed their religion and mode of worship.

I know my brother. Let's just allow them to tell tales like we do to our brothers that think we had kings.
When they are ready, we will discuss recorded facts.
For example do you know that most of the none Igbo words in Ubani Dialect is actually corrupted Portuguese, though some as still near intact old Portuguese. I shock when I found out

Abohboy:
Humans did die in the run for Christianity it may not be known but the British started by forcing Kings and Chiefs to convert and once they did they made the Leaders force their people to do the same if they didn't comply jail or hanging although this didn't happen to often it still happened however small but yes the Jihad in the north was much worse

There were no kings in Igboland before the British came. What they did was impose their newly converted Christian faithfuls (sell out) on their communities as Kings. For example, Walter Amobi of Ogidi that was their catechist.
The people initially didn't care but as time goes on, their children converted and started making things up to make the imposed Kings look like they were indigenous

huptin:
Tissue of lies, Islam rule over Spain was very short, it didn't even conquer the whole of Spain, Spain had never been a world power either before, during or after Islamic rule.

2. Numerals was introduced by Egypt Years before Islam, Egypt under the Egyptian gods was the cradle of world civilization but Islam took their gods from them and turned Egypt into what it is today

3. Since the advent of Islam it has been war and violence even the brief spell of the only known islamic empire (ottomans?) was filled with violence and bloodshed

4. There has never been a golden age of Islam, it exists only in the imagination of you people, the ottoman empire is fairly recent just about 400 years ago and it didn't witness much development, it was filled with war and violence.

Please oh.
Islamic rule over Spain was not short.
And it was not part of Spain but both Spain and Portugal (iberian peninsula).
They called it Al-Andalus and the rule was for 700+ years, around 711-1492 if my memory serve me well.
If you look at both places, you'll see their legacy. Take a look at the Portuguese footballer called Bruno Fernándes again and you'll see one their legacy
