It is very possible for a person to be both good and evil

This Vivour Rhodes is slowly looking like the Kemi Badenoch of Lagos State.

The way he will turn against Igbos and be pro Yoruba will be terrifying.

Here's what i found in just 3 minutes of research on ChatGPT AI

By research you mean Chat gpt, noted

Are you claiming before the arrival of the British in Nigeria, there was no discrimination and everyone lived in peace and harmony?

This story makes no sense, unless you read it this way...

Police officers were at the checkpoint faithfully doing their duty when they saw a man in camouflage, this man had no ID or any evidence of him being a soldier, the police suspecting him of being an Unknown Gunman immediately tried to arrest him for further investigations...

Some civilians, some sympathetic to terrorists, some anti police, some hidden terrorist in civilian clothing - began interfering and violently tried to free the potential terrorist, the police in turn defended themselves, and successfully arrested the potential criminal for further investigations.

Kemetian:
Mr Man, there have been books and scholarly research published about how the COLONIALISTS created TRIBES AND TRIBALISM in Africa, not just in Nigeria.

It was a deliberate policy in order to prevent the ‘natives’ from uniting against the invaders.

It’s called Divide and Rule.

Go on Google and research the topic and stop arguing blindly.

You know from a colonial perspective, 'divide and rule' is not a good strategy...

The British were very stingy and didn't like spending money, divide and rule is a much more expensive strategy than keeping people united and singularly colonizing them.

This is why the British loved Fulanis and the North, they made colonization easier for them because of how united and organized they were...

This is why they disliked Igbos, Igbos didn't have a united single recognized ruler they could negotiate with / threaten / bribe. The Nnewis did not regard themselves as brothers of Onishas who did not regard themselves as brothers of Mbaises who did not regard themselves as one with the Aro Confederacy. The British had to colonize Igbos, community by community, village by village, installed and paid multiple warrant chiefs only for those warrant chiefs to be overthrown by women, Igbos made them spend too much money.

Division makes it easier for an outsider to defeat a group of people but once the people have been defeated, that very division makes it extremely difficult for the outsider to rule them.

The British tried to foster a sense of cohesion among Nigerians because they knew they could save more money that way.

The British did not invent tribalism

Tribalism is a natural part of humanity, it is a survival mechanism... it is a by-product of civilization, in order for a society to be organized and function properly, people have to be placed into blocks and divisions, into classes and tribes, as the society changes - the blocks changes as well and the 'tribe' changes in the process.

Even in the USA, Italians and Irish were not considered 'whites', they were classified as half black, but as more immigrants arrived in USA and blacks began to protest for their rights, the Irish and Italians suddenly became full whites and respected members of the society.

Even before the British arrived, people had tribalism but the tribes were the 'communities'.

If Nigeria gets invaded today and the invaders indiscriminately kill all Nigerians regardless of religion or ethnicity, the meaning of tribe would change very drastically.

Some people just like work and stress

Simple "I don't have any money right now to loan you" is what is so difficult...

You said you refused to give her loan, so explain how you 'assisted' her to get a loan from fairmoney...

And how is it your problem if she doesn't pay back?

Ofodirinwa:
This isn't serious.

The reason Igbos can clamor for independence is partly because the SE is the only region that actually speaks with a single voice and has a united interest. The mistake the success of northern politicians to some sort of regional unity but the truth is the north has no single identity voice or even leadership and it can never has a real movement for anything. Same applies to the SW. Igbos collectively went through Biafra together and that gave them the ability to unite over specific topics, especially Biafra ones.

Is this irony? Even during the Biafra war Igbos couldn't speak with one voice

Ojukwu executed Ifeajuna for alleged betrayal

Ojukwu arrested Jaja Wachukwu

Ojukwu arrested Hillary Njoku

Nnamdi Azikiwe resigned as Ambassador to Biafra and left to Nigeria

Even the infamous Nzeogwu had issues with Ojukwu on the Biafra issue.

There was never any one voice, it was simply one loud empty voice drowning out the more quiet reasonable ones like they are currently doing with unknown gunmen.

How is Islam the solution? Has Islam stopped the flow of blood in Northern Nigeria after many decades of dominating the region?

I was replying the guy in question

He claimed Igbo land issues were stopped by Christianity and i was trying to point out that the hero worship fanatical insanity he condemns actually started with the introduction of Christianity, the early Christians of Igboland were not the noble class, they were the Osus, the slaves and the physically and mentally unstable - the outcasts of Igboland. These outcasts ganged up together in envy and revenge and overthrew the more noble stable savage class with the help of Christianity. Overthrowing this ruling class caused serious political, economic and cultural instability and that is what started the problems of Alaigbo.

The very tenets of Christianity itself can cause insanity...

Love your enemies.
Turn the other cheek.
Do not judge.
Blessed are the meek.
Blessed are the poor.
Guage your eye out if it causes you to sin.
The wisdom of heaven is better than the wisdom of earth.

Your either a sane Christian in that case a 'hypocrite' or you are a 'true Christian' in that case a madman or a fool, there is no 'true sane Christian' (except in Norway).

Islam by contrast is much more practical much more straightforward, it doesn't promote hatred for the masters 'unless those masters are not muslims' neither does it promote hatred for the weak 'zakat'.

Islam would have struck a better harmony between Igbo traditional religion and kindness for the weak. Christianity was the worst religion for Igbos.

Say what you will about the North, the truth is the North is more powerful politically and economically than the South East and that is due to the reduction of Christianity.

AntiZikist:
The yeast, especially Anambra is a terrible Hobessian shithole .

I did a thread on this very topic under the title "The Hobbesian state of Alaigbo".

The atrocities committed by Bakassi boys is more than meets the eyes if you examine how they framed many innocent people and executed them in the most gruesome manner in broad daylight in what can only be described as human sacrifice.


That land has an oath to Satan to saceifice human blood to it.

The precolonial history of the land attests to this. Forget Achebe's white washing fairy tale renditions. Sanity only began under European colonization and introduction to Christianity.

As soon as the Europeans left, Satan came upon the land demanded for his arrears of blood with interests which the civil war fulfilled through the senseless deliberate starvation of the people by their so-called leaders. 3 million died.

A brief period of sanity returned to the land for most parts until the return of democracy in 1999 and with ritualists in power. The Bakassi boys were state empowered, funded and backed by legislation. The fact that none of the governors at that time did not see reason to curtail their excesses when we know the Bakassi boys were directly under the control of the governors is testament to this blood oath sacrifice. Kanu introduced his own madness to use as excuse to appease Satan.

The land will continue to demand blood until they all return back to Christ.

You were making sense until you proclaimed Christianity as the solution...

Christianity itself is the problem or at least part of the problem.

Islam is the solution.

"British racists" rally for Donald Trump

The deportations would soon begin, everybody will rest.

easzypeaszy:
Christianity does not work on physical war but spiritual.
It is normal for Islam to fight physical fight just like every mad person on the street like Agbero
Dis world is dirt, full of sick ppl believin the only way out is to fight war just like Cultist, Crimanals and Islam
But Christianity is the only sane group with diff and peaceful Idealogy...So safe ur crap

Peaceful ideology, how many Christians pray for their enemies to die by fire everyday.

Islam encourages one to fight, Christianity encourages one to be a coward and curse their enemies instead.

Spiritual my foot.

To be fair he said nothing wrong

There are no civilians in Islam, Prophet Mohammad did not die on a cross, he fought to the end.

Christianity is a disease, "love your enemies - turn the other cheek - do not judge" very unpractical religion.

Christianity is a slave religion, Islam is a warrior religion.

Islam will do lots of good for Southern Nigeria especially the South East.

Seek greener pastures where you will be discriminated against and help otherwise incompetent politicians win elections by promising to kick you out.

I now believe that Peter Obi and the entire Obident movement live in an alternate reality, a fictional universe.

The North and jihad are practically inseparable, even before the days of Usman Dan Fodio it has been the case, and the only way to fight extremism is with extremism.

But why didn't we hear of much terrorism during Buhari era? Or during the long decades of Northern military rule?

They will collect their money back, with interest

Federal and State Universities are actually for upper middle class and middle class families.

Polytechnics are for standard middle class and low middle class

Private are for Upper middle class and above.

They must have spoken out against Nnamdi Kanu and his Unknown Gunmen

He is 75 if they kill him he lost nothing

But why challenge someone who has a gun

:-XI had very high expectation for that movie. The storyline turned out to be unimpressive... "Tom Hanks talk" just too much for the movie.

True, aside from the beginning at normandy the rest was just "Americans are the good guys" moralistic propaganda

If you see a helicopter made in Nigeria and a helicopter made in Germany which would you buy?

Reminds me of the movie Saving Private Ryan

Three brothers died in active service

Political blackmail

This is why it's a good thing for Igbos that Peter Obi lost, just imagine the level of emotional and political blackmail the North would have unleashed on an Igbo man - a Christian Igbo man.

Tinubu is the best thing that happened to Nigeria. Exposing their madness.

This pastor's hand is not clean, I have never heard his preaching instead he is always showcasing his vanity.

Sometimes I feel Happie boys were the unfortunate victims he used to get clout.

mrvitalis:
People act like culture is static Lmaooo

Of someone wears is ishi Agu deep down you already assumed he is Igbo... That's enough to show u that it's Igbo cultural attire

Every nation picks culture from somewhere na

We can say England practically have No culture because they borrowed almost everything even their Royal Family is French

Actually their royal family is German

12 years old is wild when she is 30 her child would be 18

So if she didn't get pregnant no one would have known

That bolt driver should have simply fought back and spare us the pity drama.

Wow less gossiping

Suspension? Arrest is more proper

This westernization wokeness is seriously getting out of hand now even our religious institutions are not safe.
