If the British had not created Nigeria, most Yorubas and Hausas would not have known who Igbos are

Ask the average Nigerian who the Fon ethnic group are, they won't know

But the Fon ethnic group are the largest tribe in neighbouring Benin Republic

The average Nigerian doesn't know them because they are in a different country next-door

Your highlighted statement may not be true, and that's because the Fon are closely related to the Yoruba people. As a matter of fact, the people you know as Yoruba in Nigeria are the same people who are called Fon, Ana, Ga, Aku, and Ewe in Benin Republic, Togo, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Ghana.

A Yoruba person from Nigeria will understand any of these people—Ana, Fon, Ga, Aku, and Ewe—when they speak their native languages. In the same vein, a Fon, Ewe, or Ana from Benin Republic, Ghana, or Togo will understand Nigeria's Yoruba language too.
His Majesty King Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, the traditional king of the Ga in Accra, Ghana, recently visited the Ooni of Ile Ife in Nigeria, where he openly acknowledged the Ga people's Yoruba roots and spoke briefly in his native Ga (Yoruba) tongue, which was well understood by everyone present at the event.

The Fon of Benin Republic are the same people as the Ifon people (Yoruba) of Nigeria, who are in Osun and Ondo States. They share the same historical lineage—descendants of Obatala.

Oga stop trying to twist history. Who voted NCNC to be the majority party in SW did Zik threaten Yorubas to vote NCNC? The whole debacle started when Awo used tribal sentiment against Zik in Ibadan where people now cross carpeted to AG. Let us stop these lies.

Chinedu, the attached screenshot below shows the real 'tribal sentiment.' I won't argue with you any further. As an Igbo, you should be ashamed that Mr. Azikiwe preferred to be the Premier of the old Western Region instead of his own native Eastern Region. If some individuals from the land of primitive, forest-dwelling ancestors are calling Lagos a no man's land today, what do you think would have happened if Azikiwe had successfully schemed his way to the premiership seat of the old Western Region? The truth is that Azikiwe was obsessed with Yoruba land, just like those who are calling a part of this same Yoruba land a no man's land today! Were there no electorates in the old Eastern Region who could elect Mr. Azikiwe as the Premier of the region? Lol, like Azikiwe, like the Lagos-is-no-man's-land proponents; greedy land grabbers!

The same way our forefathers did not open their eyes and allowed a foreigner to impose himself on them in their land is the same way we, the offspring, will reject any such attempt in our land. You can call it "tribal sentiment" or whatever, but it is on record that a certain coup (January 15, 1966) in Nigeria claimed the lives of many political, religious, and tribal leaders of other ethnic nationalities in this country except for those of Eastern extractions! What "tribal sentiment" is greater or more evil than that?

I won't even engage any of you guys from that side in any back and forth; it's not worth it. Thank God, today, everybody can see the Igbo's true colour.

Ngozi123:
If this has nothing to do with Yoruba people, why are you in this thread?

It gives me joy to see Igbo being rejected once again, that's why I'm "in the thread"!

Tflex01:
Lol that is why the same Nnamdi Azikiwe fought Awolowo endlessly to make sure secession was not included in our constitution but few years later his tribesman wanted to seceed from the same country and they want Awolowo's people to take them seriously. 😂

Exactly!

sonofsteven:
Well

More like saying badagry and lagosians .. same as yorubas having different indigenous tongues


Tongue differs just like when abakiliki man tongue, nsukka man, aba/ngwa tongues, anambra tongue, imo States get like 3 different tongues, orsu, mbaise and co tongues etc

We all speak differently in our dialect but we all have a common language which we all refer to as the general igbo language


Well, I don't think it's right to force anyone

But we need to checkmate this people because how come they speak general igbo and have igbo names and cultures yet they aren't together

Well my problem for now na this bill or creating orlu state, I no wan find myself outside ANAMBRA STATE na that one go pain me pass

Make them just leave am the way e dey than bring confusion, we've been like this for yearsssss and we no die

If them dey find wetin to created,make them create oduduwa republic, arewa republic and BIAFRAN and other states wey wan divide

Please don't involve Yoruba in this;it has nothing to do with us! Yoruba people,from Nigeria to Benin Republic, Togo to Ghana, Sierra Leone to the Gambia, Brazil to Cuba, the Olukumi in Delta state to the Okun in Kogi state,etc don't deny their "Yorubaness". The Yoruba are one indivisible ethnic group irrespective of geographical locations they are found. Ile-Ife in Osun State is our ancestral home;no controversy.

Remman:
Intermarriage happens everywhere, since we settled closer to the igbos, our ancestors married Igbo daughters to avoid marrying their own siblings and somehow the Igbo daughters married into our land taught their children the Igbo language. And this practice happens till date where children found themselves speaking their mother's language. If the Igbos claim we came from them, let's hear their own Kanu and Ojukwu story about the ancestors of Ikwerres. Before the civil war, the Igbos came to settle in Ikwerre land and began to rename our streets bearing our true ancestral names to their language names. Now during the civil war they killed us and did a lot of evil to us whom they now claim is their brothers (since they're unaware of the language-work of their daughters married by our ancestors). Now, when the war was intensified, they ran away (why would they run if they owned the place?). When we saw how we were tricked by those tribes, we took back our properties they stole from us, we won the battle.

This is exactly what Giannis Adetokunbo's mother did! She taught all her Yoruba children Igbo language and change their mentality and worldviews to that of Igbo! That's exactly what the GRV's mother has successfully done. She brainwashed that fool to the extent that he hates himself - his own identity and heritage! The fool claims he doesn't even think in Yoruba;what a shame! It is the same thing Mrs Akeredolu of Ondo State is trying to do with her children.

Given what we know about these Igbo women,I believe this your faction of the story. I think it's authentic. Ikwerres are not Igbo;they are a distinct ethnic group different from Igbo. Why won't I believe so when majority of these Igbo are already claiming and celebrating Giannis Adetokunbo,the Basketballer,as an Igbo man! Truly,Igbo people's attache by force is quite appalling.

Lanre1st:
Try to learn, Lagos refuse to join SW does not imply they are Igbo or not Yoruba!

Their stance is clear, they were never part of SW region that Awolowo or Akintola governed, they were independent City of Yoruba

Lagos was part of the Southwest region that Awolowo and Akintola governed. Only a tiny part of Lagos, the old FCT, was not part of the old Southwest. The far larger part of Lagos was an integral part of the defunct Western region. Please, go and read about this.

Lagos is wholly Yoruba; no Emeka or Chinedu can ever change that! What you need to understand is that the Igbo have always been senselessly obsessed with Lagos; it did not just start today. A certain Mr. Nnamdi Azikiwe preferred to be the Premier of the old Western region, which Lagos was part of, instead of his own native old Eastern region! Does that make any sense to you, an Igbo man wanting to be a governor in Yoruba land?!

Antoeni:
You cannot see the likes of MC Oluomo in a sane clime . It is only in Lagos that you see the likes of Oluomo

The likes of Oluomo are thrown behind bars in sane clime but in Lagos, the likes of MC are worshipped because he's the only reason Tinubu is winning in Lagos


Copied

The animals from the land of primitive forest-dwelling ancestors who called Lagos 'a no man's land' don't exist in a sane clime either! The truth is that native Londoners wouldn't tolerate anyone calling their land 'a no man's land' either. Sore loser, kiss the bitter truth.

Interesting statistics! Ratio 3:2:1 - Yoruba:Igbo:Edo.

Region ( Schools) - South West.

Yoruba l'agba!

Your inability to read and comprehend suddenly means I'm supporting drug trafficking I doubt they'd consider Nigerians as one of the smartest people if every Nigerian is like you *sigh

Gibberish! No smart person would ever spew the thoughtless nonsense you did. If you had an iota of a brain in your empty head, you would have realized your statement was akin to tacit support for the criminal. Anyway, I don't expect you to know or understand my point; you're such a dumb-head!

I won't even respond to your childish tantrums again. Now,crawl back into whatever primitive cave you came out of and remain as dumb as you're already there,f00000l!

Semaj77:
People don't read the full articles again they just comment based on the title of the thread and their own limited knowledge but it was clearly written that Cambodia doesn't have a death penalty for drug trafficking yet people , especially in the first page , are saying he's going to face the death penalty

Okayyyy, you're one of the criminals who advised him to take his illicit trade to Cambodia because "Cambodia doesn't have a death penalty for drug trafficking",right ?

MADU EMEKA,the Gburugburu 1 of Cambodia! The Cambodian government should do the needful without wasting further time: behead the criminal!

Tell the world bro.

Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas have vehemently fought against full electronic voting and collation in Nigeria so that they can continue to use thugs, almajiri and INEC manipulation of election result during manual collation to win Nigeria's elections and claim they know how to play Nigerian politics more than Igbos. Whereas it is all about politics of gangup, thuggery, killing, result manipulation and voter suppression that they are using to brag of being good in politics in this 21st century.


Because of their fear for a competent Igbo person to emerge President, they have refused to do things that will make Nigeria grow and become better for all Nigerians.


Tell me why Nigeria should be relying on manual collation of election results in 2023 when we have more efficient, secured electronic systems to handle it fairly, transparently and faster?


Hausa-Fulanis and Yorubas have been ruling Nigeria since 1969 and refused to do the right things to change Nigeria. These two heartless tribes have been rotating Nigeria's Presidency amongst them and achieved nothing but total destruction of Nigeria to what it is today and whenever you make effort to change things for better they use their majority at the national assembly to fight it but to them it is Igbos that is the problem. Igbos that are tired of how they have destroyed and ruined Nigeria and looking for a way to leave them to enjoy their Nigeria and start afresh to build their own dream nation from scratch.



God will definitely disgrace all the people holding Nigeria down from progressing beyond where it is today.

The highlighted part is not only funny but also highly laughable!

Charity, they say, begins at home. How do you expect anyone to believe this when all your regional governors are perennial failures? Are your governors not Igbo men? So, what stupid narrative are you trying to push with the highlighted part of your statement above? Ekene Dili Chukwu and Young Shall Grow buses keep bringing your poverty-stricken people from the East, yet you want us to believe that an Igbo man has magic to perform! All your governors in the five southeast states are Igbo. Why is it that none of them has been able to perform the magic of turning around the misfortunes of Alaigbo, such that you guys will stop running away from your own land as if you're being chased away by some demons?!

[.

MC OLUOMO was also responsible for this (attached screenshot), right? The embittered souls from the land of primitive forest-dwelling ancestors will always find a speck in someone's eye but will never say anything about the big log in their own eyes! I have been saying it, those idiots need to be taught a very brutal lesson, one that will reformat their oblong heads permanently! No wahala, may God spare our lives till 2027 and beyond, you idiots will see the real shege!

Capitalists are extremely selfish and greedy people;they won't help anyone but themselves! Tinubu has to look elsewhere for help.

Why do all these beneficiaries of the ageless immigration policy usually hate the same policy they benefitted from when they reach the corridors of power? Like Sunak, like Trump! I knew the Indian man would learn the hard way!

Niko on the other hand is too petty.

I was already tired of seeing the Indian man's face. We wish him good luck in his future political endeavors.

Congratulations to Sir Keir Starmer,the incoming PM.

Continue crying.

21st century slaves of Fulani.

Shameless tribe 🤣

Nobi only expose 😁

A certain Mr Nnamdi Azikiwe started it all;he sold the southern people's interests to the Fulani for selfish political gain! What about the infamous Biafra warlord,Mr Ojukwu ? Did he not join NPN, political party of the Fulani? Remind us again,Chinedu,who was Alhaji Shagari's running mate and VP ? Now,who are the real slaves of the Fulanis ? You embittered souls from the erosion-ravaged land of primitive hinterland bushmen must really think democracy in Nigeria started in 2023,right ?

Trust me,you foools have not even started crying yet,your real agony is just around the corner! You've always been slaves in Nigeria,and slaves you shall remain. Your forefathers cried over it,and now you the offsprings are doing same,lol! Osu will never rule Naija!

Why am I even doing this back and forth with a nincompoop like you; it's degrading! Now,crawl back into whatever primitive hole you came out of and remain as dumb as you're already there,Osu!

Mikel talks very carelessly

He goes uninvited to Podcasts hating on people for no reason

It's in the blood if you get what I mean.

Just take a look at the kind of riff-raff we have in government: people without any enviable quality. What does this 'Dewe' (his mouth suggests that) have to offer anyone in terms of quality of advice or suggestions? Mtchew, all manner of nonentities are just being given political titles/appointments as rewards for whatever sinister roles they played in the build-up to their Principals' victory. Yeye dey smell, senior Aide indeed!

Angel55555:
Good morning. You're not making any sense with what you just wrote. He admitted that he assaulted her, I believe he is currently being investigated for the alleged crime. However, no arrest has been made. That's what his Legal representative is trying to shed light on.

Gibberish as expected!

Angel55555:
He assaulted her, that's the issue, not the taking of a second wife.

Mummy's boy,you were there when he was assaulting her,right ? Ninnies like you are the root cause of the problems men are facing at the hands of these evil women.

It's a pity that Nigerians haven't realized yet they have to troop out en masse and beat up these fraudulent people who make up that inefficient company called DISCO, wherever they are found! Nigerians are too docile; gullible lots!

Na their blood e dey;born criminals!

Village people from the land of primitive forest-dwelling ancestors.

One of the many reasons why they are being dealt with ruthlessly in Benin Republic. They are cursed criminals;they will never change!
