You can actually make your point without being insolent. It doesn't cost anything to be civil and reasonable. If you do not subscribe to my point of thought, then just walk away. I am not here to convince you to accept my opinions.

You have no point

Phoen1X:
LIES,..america is a country of migrants and am sure elon musk from south africa is did not migrate due to joblessness.

Elon musk was a rich kid, now an inventor and entrepreneurs...what have you or your criminal brothers invented

You criminals selling drugs, others robbing up and down.

oga this is unreasonable, we have limestone, we have granite, we have boulders...this man wan rip Nigeria?

igwebuike01:
Okay. Consolation for unambitious low achievers

igwebuike01:
To invent excuses no de hard una people

It's fact, na poverty dey make people run from their land, some dey prison for abroad, some dey street, the others dey do minimum wage jobs.

Chygoz01:
poverty and terorism caused by your government

Caused by ipob, Nnamdi kanu, Simon ekpa and southeast governors.

Nothing to be proud about, shows the mass migration from southeast due to poverty and terrorism...this is a bad sign.

ChidiCmatencore:
It doesn't matter how you perceive this story, what is there to know is that passport racketeering has become a norm at the Nigerian Immigrattion Service and it should be condemned. You obviously trivialize the fact of passport racketeering being an obvious crime. Just pray to your god that you don't fall victim of passport racketeering.

What's victim to fall here, stop talking nonsense...you either subscribe to it or not. People have been saying passport comes out quickly these days... nobody force you to do racketeering.

Olu317:
You are not even a good liar. Better learn the fact. The moat you claim is dated ?

You have no heritage without Yorubas. Oba bini is a Yoruba man. Even Ogiameh families from Bini who are the original Owodo link lineage stated it with even protest.

Bunch of liars, Ogbogbodirin Obalufon was the one who was on the throne after Ogun was rebelled against by some of the Elus and he fled when Oranmiyan invaded Igodomigodo from Usen.

To mention some Ibos to be part of Yorubas ancestrally are plausible. Even Hausa, Nupe, Fulanis, Tuareg, Berbers,Arabs, Semitic people, Europeans etc share DNA link with Yorubas. Go check the history of Yoruba relationship history with the world to have a fill on it.

Your 4×4 kingdom got her glory from Yoruba civilization through Yoruba descendants from a Prince of Ileife.

According to your obas yorubas are the first man on earth, igbos are yorubas

You people are known liars, even your obas...Ile'Ife is a weak town created by a Benin Prince, Aworis are ancestrally Benin...the delusions of grandeur of your tribe is just fables. Oba of Benin stated categorically, Benin empire, kingship have nothing to do with Yoruba, rather our prince created Ile'Ife.

Erelu Dosunmu will tell you she is ancestrally Benin, Oba of Lagos will tell you same, because they know the truth, we took obaship into southwest...Oba'to kpe'e. I'se has been the praise slogan of our kings since time immemorial, is that a Yoruba word?

If you are not great don't try to share in our glory, you people always like attachment.

Even today the greatness of the Benin empire exists, you can see it...compare your Ooni to our Oba, it will tell you a lot, your obas that lie anyhow, only you yorubas listen to them...show me any sign of Yoruba greatness in history, I mean real greatness...you people were singing praises to Oba of Benin, worshipping him, as your creator.

your oduduwa is our Benin Prince. Humans don't fall from the sky.

Educated slowpoke.

Doesn't sound right

Kayode for rest, Africa has more pressing issues...we have our own problem with terrorists. Go take a chill pill

He is part of them

It's express service, it's everywhere.

leokid866:
we had no use for you that's why we traded you for coin...thats how useless your people were back then......it was better that way.....and you need to go back to your father to tell you the truth of your history.....igbos have never held Yorubas captive on any level at any time and the one time your people thought they had the balls for it Obj quickly put them in their place.....and whether Oduduwa dropped from the sky or was born by a woman is none of your business face your osu gods after all na from Sango your amadiorha learn work from....

You don't even know the history, igbos have nothing to do with this history. You seem to be in the wrong place.

Israel will release and take them out, unless they relocate.

leokid866:
lol who has been lying to you that you were controlling the passage way to Lagos in the 18th century? You mean the same Lagos your people were been sold as slaves in batches? Better go sit down

Slaves like you were used to build our walls, including some artisans of course. He who has slaves must have work to show for it

Europeans used slaves to build America, Egyptians used slaves to build pyramids...Oga slave what great feat is in Ile'Ife that was built by 'slaves'

There are lots of reasonable yorubas, but you sound like an agbero, your head is filled with myths, fables and fallacies...they told you Oduduwa fell from the sky

That's a lie, he was a man!

Olu317:
Youngman , go get yourself milk to cool off your bitterness over Yoruba man lording over bini kingdom. It is no big deal.

It's fallacy, a figment of your imagination...just the same way your Oba claimed igbos emanate from yorubas

Sorry our heritage speaks for itself, the glories, the facts...from controlling the passage way to Lagos down to the 18th century, to controlling swathes of tribes, down to Dahomey, and to the borders of Ghana, and to the other side, conquered down to Onitsha, all these are facts. If Aworis paid us tax, clearly shows the reality ...Aworis are princes from Ile'Ife.

History revisionism can't work with the Benin empire.

The Benin moat, the Benin great wall, listed in the guiness book of records(longest stretch of city wall in the world), and still existing today, are testament of who we are and the greatness... evidence!

Old man

I see and hear your wisdom

Nigerian political elites should be serious about eliminating public sector funds stealing. Stealing of public revenue by political office holders, Ministers, governors, local government chairmen, is the biggest problem of Nigeria. EFCC and ICPC seem like they are partial, it is glary that these politicians are stealing, the money being generated via revenue and state allocations do not match developments on ground. Kogi state, and all other states should be scrutinized by EFCC and ICPC, focus on political office holders, they are our problems, even worse problems than yahoo boys.

Nigerians una no dey shame

If I have your heart, I will make songs of our love everyday.

Mrfeel:
You fought with the British and lost just like everyone else, the colony dividend and shared Africa amongst themselves , so what colonial arrangement are you talking about?

Nnamdi Azikiwe, Akintola, Ahmadu Bello all agreed and worked with the colonialist, WAZOBIA sellouts.

Our prison needs decongestion though. But please stop releasing terrorists and bandits.

KwuoteYourFada:
Even the quote said the fight continued
Half baked education you people are receiving is alarming

Arochukwu didn't fall till spring which is around April 1902

Iti!

Everywhere else, pockets of resistance kept fighting, but it clearly states "Arochukwu was captured in December 28 after 4 days of fighting "

Mrfeel:
And anoima people are what ?


Earlier you cliaimed you binis are the only people that fought the colonys , others willingly accepted, now you change it to binis had the strongest warriors?

I said we never participated in colonial Nigeria arrangement...we never succumbed like you WAZOBIA people, I didn't say we alone fought them, you are misquoting me. I know that the battles were fought in Lagos Marina axis, Epe too was invaded, I know they invaded southeast, southwest and everywhere else in Nigeria, but my point is we never agreed with them in this arrangement. WAZOBIA are the unity beggars, and those that aided the colonization of Nigeria, which we are still suffering today.

onumadu:
But you conveniently leave out where the same document you uploaded said that battles continued into Spring of 1902.
Oga, i tire for you.
But na here I leave the matta.
Do as you please.
Bye.

Exactly my point, resistance continued, but in warfare once your town/state have been captured and your rival hoist their flags, arrest or kill your leaders, and take over your commerce, administrative areas, resources, technically you have been defeated, unless you push them out of your town/state.

KwuoteYourFada:
written by who?

Captured in 4 days.

Mrfeel:
The arochukwu war was not the only igbo war with British how about the ekumeka war ?

That was Anioma people of Delta, and again it was like an insurgency, rebels attacking and trying to resist the occupation, same thing happened in Benin too, pockets of rebels resisted even after British took the town/state. I know every tribe had their warriors, but everyone knows Benin empire had the strongest warriors in the South then, that was the only way it could control so much areas, and even collect toll from Aworis on trade routes to access the Lagos market.

onumadu:
Oga, this your WAZOBIA nonsense is ssssssssssssssssoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yesterday.
Who still thinks and talks in those languages today in Nigeria?
Igbo people and Zik didn't always align politically.
The men that actually captured Igbo politics are Mazi Mbonu Ojike, Michael Okpara, Emeka Ojukwu, Akanu Ibiam, etc.
Zik was a diehard one Nigerianist. The only Igbo that I know that is.
So, to my point, Igbo and Edo people are one people if you trace their history.
Like I said before, if not for Igbo people in Southern Nigeria (particularly south east where Edo is geographically speaking), the British and their Fulani allies would not show any respect even to your Obas there. Edo would probably have an Emir today.
There is something called "strategic depth", which only Igbo gives to the rest of south eastern Nigeria.
Those who know, know.
So, stop antagonizing your natural allies. It is self defeating.

That's why am telling you that Edos, Benin empire was the controller and protector of the south.

Igbos lived in small groups and hamlets, no empire, no army, no warriors. Edo people built the Benin city walls, Benin moat and defences. I have never heard of Igbo empire, history don't lie. We only know of Nri tribe, it was never an empire, and the Arochukwu clan, so where were your soldiers or glory at?

Igbos were scattered in bushes, no development, no civilization. Stop talking nonsense, you couldn't even defend yourself...there is no recorded wars between igbos and jihadists pre Nigeria times, no one ever heard of igbos in Midwest or southwest or south south, igbos were only active in southeast, and migrated into Ibibio, Efik areas, and formed the Arochukwu clan. Igbos had no strength or clout militarily pre Nigeria. Stop capping, we know history...you people only make mouth now because we live in civil organized times, with United nations, Amnesty etc, when tribes were ruling Africa you people were in the bushes hiding.

You people have never given Edos or South South nothing, all you do is to beg and form parasite everywhere...strategic depth when you attacked Benin even when your enemy was federal government forces. Snakes.

Mrfeel:
Just 2 yrs war and you are talking as if it's something how about the Igbos that held on for 30 yrs ?

The British Aro chukwu war lasted for some few days, the town capitulated, and British took over... pockets of rebels were hiding and attacking, but were soon quelled...this is normal with other areas of Nigeria they fought with too. But it took just 4 days to capture the town of Arochukwu.
