Their stupidity and ignorance is mind blowing, just take a look at the dubious way they were trying to link akwete to to some un-existent ijebu clothing lines and ijaws.

Thank-Goodness I had to tag u, before they start leeching themselves into our history like they did to the benins and bullied them into submission.

That is where they will be disgraced like that fake Oyo calvary.
Yorubas don't even have indigenous clothing but most of them here don't know.
Like the OP bundarina, most of them swallowed the fake things their dubious blogs and fake historical books fed them whole but God/Nature has a way of doing things.

She (Nature) makes them to jump into arguments like this so that they will be exposed and helped to reconnect to their roots (Their original history and culture that they are running from).

In matters like this, I present evidences that makes them realise that those books have been deceiving them all along. For example, the picture below, just one have already summarised who clothed Yorubas and where the cloth came from. The picture is of Sudanese Fulani. You can see Aso oke, Aso whatever and other names they call them in one picture.

bundarina:
Lmao the copium is real for you. Actual history instead of your cope.

He is right.
Take your time and read real history not your usual Yoruba blog articles.
Akwete isn't the only Igbo cloth.

bomb24:
Akwete yoruba?

Afonjas are eternally foolish!

yorubas had no indegenous clothing line.

the aso oke u claim today came from the fulanis.

Honestly, most these Yorubas are filled with ignorance.
Did one say Ijaw make clothes? Lol
Not just make clothes but export it to Ndigbo

I saw one claim head dress as part of Yoruba culture. The same Yorubas that their women either plait hair or wear Chinese kind of hairstyle?
Most of these Yorubas have deep inferiority complex. The way they rush to claim ownership of what isn't their culture is shamefully amazing

OK, Mr OP bundarina what you need to do is ask those you think Ndigbo copied from "who owned it"
Your ascertions is actually the reverse. Ndigbo exported textiles to all including Igala.

Yoruba on the other hand, doesn't know anything like cloths. Only those under Islamic influence have access to such luxury, either from Fulani, Nupe, Hausa or occasional Mali/Songhai traders (mainly those outside Nigeria).

Honestly you Yorubas should dedicate much time to studying yourselves than poking into people that are actually superior to you.
No matter the slander, whenever Ndigbo take up the argument, you can't help but feel the difference quality.

As for "gele" my dear, prior to Islamic /European contact, Yoruba women don't wear such. Your women rock Chinese "queue" like hairstyle. The type that Jet-Li wear in his films. Head dress came to you people primarily through Islamic contact. It is not your original culture

scholes0:
He is right.... most Akwete designs and styles come from the Ijebu Yoruba clothing called Aso Olona with motifs made in the osugbo.ogboni, Awo/ifa and itagbe designs etc.... the Ijebu waterside people traded it via the coast with the Ijaws who then introduced it to the Ndokis.
Google Aso Olona and then google akwete cloth and notice the undeniable diffuion of ideology from west to east.

Yoruba has no indigenous clothing except for animal skin. So I wonder what you thought your people were trading.
Akwete (so named after the town that weaves it) is traditional indigenous Igbo cloth that spread across Old Eastern region nations. Put it this way as something uniting Ndigbo with Ibibio, Efik, Annang etc. I have seen many propose theories mainly hamitic to make it second but never have I seen one as petty as yours.
"from West to East?" my dear you need to have indigenous cloth to export one.

As for Yoruba indigenous animal skin clothing and what you people now claim as yours. Look at the pictures below.
1st /2nd pic = Yoruba Prince in traditional animal skin.
3rd pic= The Fulani clothing, they (Fulani) clothed Yorubas with. The picture is of Sudanese Fulani

I am not here to revise those blog articles you Yorubas fool yourselves with. If it is not 1st person recorded history or reasonable discovery, it is not fact.
1st pic

Chei!
Afonjazz doing what they do best.

But let's look at this thing critically, who in his right mind stays in Ogun state without Skull insurance?

What kind of stupid thread is this?
You sit in your bed all through morning and you have the guts to tell the entire Awka businessmen when to wake up and not. If customers come by that time, they will definitely open.

Is this not the definition of the "madness" people have been talking about?
Na you open shops for them?
You that came out by 4am, what were you looking for?
Who were you expecting to see?

Ndi mmadụ sef

helinues:
Do Igbo people themselves know their history not to talk of outsiders. You be are good in knowing history about others.

If you people really know about your history, then it's time to sit down and think critically about what the word "Biafra" has caused your region and still causing till date

See who is talking. A Yoruba person talking about history. Someone that believes that his people once had a calvary and doesn't know that the full indigenous dressing of his people is animal skin.

Oga between me and you, my people are the only ones that know their history and their struggle for independence is a proof of it.
If you know your own history, you won't be here arguing about Biafra but looking for a way to reconnect to your kinsmen scattered around West Africa by Europeans as if they were throwing seeds in a field

I can give you cordinates/map/directions to where your kinsmen are located outside Nigeria if you like, except the link between you people has been totally eradicated by ignorance.
What do Yorubas know about history?
Yoruba people that don't even know their own real name

okeysoninv:
you shamelessly admitted to new group taken over ESN. what you forgot is that hunger and death can't be won by propaganda. alot of Esn members are moving into Simon fold.

Mtcheww... Ask someone else to explain that comment for you

okeysoninv:
akpamu, if your fraudulent kanu and his henchmen has not been squandering funds meant for ESN there won't be Simon ekpa. alot of young men are dying in the field and you expect them to be loyal to you. while the funds meant for ESN has been used by kanu and his band of thieves for their extravagant lifestyle.

What is this one blabbing about?
Go and read what you quoted again Mr Man.

You Nigerians are pathetic. You can't even fake reasonably

helinues:
Those who have refused to learn from history, advise from others shouldn't expect sympathy/empathy after the consequences of their actions have riped

LOL . Do you know Igbo peoples history?
That is the question.
What you are seeing today is the continuation of Igbo resistance since 1883.

Do you know Igbo people? I ask you again.

helinues:
The implications that have been happening in the affected region since 60's you meant?

In the 60s Ojukwu made a big mistake by taking the wrong approach. An approach Kaduna Nzeogwu criticised.
This century, the agitators out of improvision or maybe extensive research are taking the right approach when confronting a larger army that's why they are winning.

They attack you and win, they become heroes.
You attack them, they gain sympathy.
You now decide to attack their sympathisers, you lose credibility.
In all fronts you lose.
It is called guerilla warfare. Unlike others, they have almost 80% upper hand to dictate the flow and nature. One big advantage they have over you is that they have no rule and are unrestricted.
You can have some days like raiding their camps or repelling some attacks but they have the time. Whenever you get tired, their victory is sealed, ask USA what they saw in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

This is just a bonus/promo class for you. I won't dash you another one.
Nigeria is already losing and they know it.

helinues:
So this news na fixing?

Why do you people like to lie to una self like this?

Ipob, ESN, UGM or whatever are of no big worries to Nigeria as long as they keep their madness to their region

I don't give free history lessons on Saturday. Go out and ask anybody that knows anything the implications of what happened.
Goodluck

I predicted this a long time ago. The Funniest part is that Nigerians think that it is a victory for them not knowing that all those while they think the Biafran struggle has waned down that the agitators were busy fixing their house.

Ok now, I wish the Nigerians good luck in the new turn around. They now have a hungry new group with something to prove. The new group have already totally taken over ESN

adekolaelect:
small sense you no get.At least it will not be a propaganda any more when your family get involved in ritual killing.

Did they provide any evidence?
Pictorial or otherwise?
Or police report?

This is the most stupid propaganda I've seen in a while. It shows desperation from Yorubas to change the narrative of their skull mining

redPUSSY:
Lol..Sahara reporter owned by afonja man..

They want to shift the goal Post..


We all know the people that are dominating in ritualism and they know themselves as well..

If we don't act fast, they will end up rubbish the feaces they ate on our lips and claim we are the ones that ate it.
Look at the Nollywood they are dragging. They purposedly left out Yoruba films that showcase head hunting and rituals involving human parts to drag Kanayo O Kanayo and Igbo Nollywood that only shows spiritual stuffs if they act that kind of movie.

They know what they are doing and are not ashamed to keep on doing it but our people want to be seen as "detribalized" and "Reasonable". Whatever they mean by those two.

Armaggedon:
Nobody has been arrested, so how did they get to know it's ritual.

It is called propaganda. Yorubas are working day and night to change the narrative to include Ndigbo or better still shift the blame to Ndigbo as usual.
They did it in the first coup,
Repeated it in Endsars.
Now their skull mining and my people never learn.

There is no neutral media in Nigeria. Everybody is pushing his own nations (Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa etc) agenda and propaganda

heniford2:
this guy should pay you for educating his dumb ass.

LOL. It's just one of my once a week specials where I give free history classes in any lucky social media.

One thing aribisala0 don't know is that IPOB's Biafra agitation is recorded in history as the continuation of Igbo resistance to subjugation. Historians see it as the strong will and boldness Ndigbo are known of since the days of their ancestors. Like I said "no slave ship was ever stupid enough to carry only captured Igbo"
One that tried such lost his ship to revolts and the ship was used to sail into another slave ship, wrecking both and everybody died.
Another that did it was overtaken by the Slaves and they sailed to Georgia after failing to locate Igboland. They later committed suicide afterwards by walking back into the water with belief that they will reincarnate in Igboland. It is now famously known worldwide as "Igbo landing"
They chose death over slavery and subjugation.

Can Afonjas do what they did? No. An Afonja values life as a slave to free person that caters for himself and that is what they are doing in Nigeria. They prefer to slave under Nigeria than handle the responsibility of fending for themselves.

heniford2:
if we dig deep into even Han Chinese own he will be shocked too,let that brat be his no march to you,his just Todd to you.

Britain was raided and enslaved by the vikings. The British proved their worth by resistance and defeating vikings at Wessex

Han Chinese was enslaved by Mongols, they proved their worth by the resistance, overthrowing mongol emperor and today are world powers

Arabs were enslaved by Abysinnians and Persians in Yemen and saudi Arabia, they later proved their worth by resistance, counter enslavement of other blacks and finally conquering the entire Persian empire.

Ndigbo fell to British slave trade but proved their worth in series of resistances,even took over Haiti from France and today are resisting British Nigeria for total freedom (Biafra).

Yorubas on the contrary are just docile, everybody took turns subduing them, no history of resistance in both trans Saharan and Atlantic that they fell victim of in the hands of Nupe, Fulani, Hausa and Fon of Dahomey. Yorubas are the majority of slaves shipped to Brazil but the Portuguese recorded no resistance from them till date. They are just naturally submissive. Their kins in Nigeria are celebrating of how inclusive and recognise their slave generations in Brazil are not revolts or resistance for dignity

aribisala0:
So why did Eboes make excellent slaves? What is the secret?

Trying to twist the narrative? No, Afonja, there is no skirt to hide under here.
It was "choice" not "best" and the history of the trade stated why.
Every human wants to be seen as conqueror and you can't prove it by presenting a submissive like Yoruba Slaves as trophy that is why Igbo was choice and very costly.

They were extremely difficult to get and IMPOSSIBLE to tame. The revolts and resistances that followed suit justifies their worth.

They said that no slave ship was stupid enough to carry only captured Igbo during slave trade. But for Yorubas? Even old white women can transport Yoruba Slaves

aribisala0:
So you are proud that you were the best slaves
Anyway what is the secret is it genetic?

Costliest and symbol of pride for them.
Even at my worst, I was never in the same category with you worthless Yorubas

All nations have all gone through that stage including British, Arabs, Jews and Han Chinese but the worth of each at the time is what differentiates.

aribisala0:
Eboes were Choice slaves. Meaning anyone wanting to buy slaves PREFERRED Eboe slaves.

They must have been very good slaves

Even at the worst of our various histories, nobody confused the high quality of Ndigbo to worthless Yorubas.

Having Igbo as slave was seen as a thing of pride for the whites. Just like the way Arabs see owning lions or modern society owning sports cars like lamborghini, buggatti etc.

That's why the bill specified them as "choice" so that they don't come to price shit as if you are buying Yoruba or other ordinary black people

aribisala0:
Eboes were Choice slaves

And Yorubas worthless

aribisala0:
Yes Eboes made better slaves. You are right

NDIGBO and our cousins from the Eastern region are the only people that resisted slavery even to the extent of taking over slave ships, leading revolts and even taking over slave countries from the whites eg Haiti. The first king of Haiti that led the slave revolt that finally established the independence of Haiti Henri Christopher is of Igbo descent. That is why Igbo slaves were costly. They were very difficult to get and subdue.

But the Yorubas on the other hand are very docile, put up no resistance at all and are willing slaves, so their price went so low that slave traders have to clarify what they have to avoid someone suing them for fraud.
Yoruba Slaves were literally worthless, so they have to be sold in tens.

Here is the portrait of the first king of Haiti, an Igbo blood to the core that led the slave revolt that established the independence of Haiti. Henri Christophe

aribisala0:
Choice Eboes?

I don't know book o

Choice means preferences. That is, they were specifying that what they have with them is the real deal. The most sort after and costly Igbo, not Yorubas that worth nothing.

aribisala0:
Were Eboes sold as slaves ? Yes or No ?

Where did they leave from Calabar , Bonny and Forcados? That is not in doubt

Ask Asari Dokubo Ask Reno Omokri Ask Google

Now We all know Eboeland is a dot in a circle
Ask Buhari

So we know that Eboes did not have control of any coastal area

Also we know that Arochookyou under the Akpa Nnubi dynasty sold millions of Eboes as slaves

Quod Erat Demonstrandum

QED

See names you wrote, no single Yoruba in it, just hiding under the skirt of Minorities

BTW, when Asari Dokubo blasted your Yoruba Obasanjo few days ago, what did he call himself?
Igbo. His name is not Ediabali for nothing.

As for Omokri, he ended up disgracing himself when challenged by Ogbonnaya.
One thing is to talk trash, the other is to back it up
You cowards fail in the second part

[quote author=PressMyButton post=110140408][/quote]I told people that it was you chameleons that dragged Ijaw to that humiliation.

And this John Wedderburn is now Nigerian?
Not just Nigerian but Yoruba or Ijaw.
So it has now gotten to the extent of hiding under Scottish peoples skirt? Shameless Afonja rats

Yorubas are so pathetic. We are busy here baptising you savages with the original pictures/accounts of your ancestors mysery while you lie up and down, hiding from one minority skirt to the other, trying to drag them into your fight with lies.

aribisala0:
Calabar Bonny Forcados

controlled by smaller but more civilized people who sold off Eboe slaves for centuries

And your proof?
