This seems to be a trend

From Adeyinka Grandson to Simon Ekpa to the Igbo woman threatening with poison, to the Yoruba guy insulting the Oba of Benin...

Depending on who you ask, you might also include Nnamdi Kanu and Reno Omokri on the list.

These are people that left Nigeria, they are usually disconnected from the social life of the average Nigerian, they live in a better country, they have access to good education and infrastructure...

Yet in a bizarre twist they seem to even become more toxic and promote more poison than even the poor uneducated Nigerians living in the country.

Could there be psychological forces at play? maybe loneliness?

Thank God Labour party is weak and useless this time around, they can't be used to split PDP vote like during the election.

Lol be deceiving yourself or better still keep dreaming
Nothing was borrowed from your ibo language infact most of English is borrowed from Greek and Latin so I don't know where you got your own info from and besides there's no raw facts to back your claims

Some people are not capable of understanding sarcasm

wow good to hear

Whenever I hear Igbos complaining their language is dying due to westernization, I'll be sure to remind them that English is simply borrowed Igbo so Igbo language is actually one of the most popular language worldwide.

This is good news, may we hear something similar about Simon Ekpa one day.

I was hoping they would tell us the name of the Nigerian boyfriend

Can a Yoruba man from Oyo state go to Osun state to run for elections without discrimination?

Ps: Italians and Irish were heavily discriminated against in America (they weren't even considered white)

Today Mexicans (who are descendants of Spanish and Native Americans) are heavily regulated from migrating into USA

I hope this not a reaction to the real Lagos state indigenes claims

How polite they are is a problem...

They should be more detailed in explaining the reason of the ban or deletion of topics.

What did you do? Or what did you not do?

This one is mental problem, real ritualist don't make noise like this

It is better that way, not when something bad happens they start looking for one Emefiele to put the blame on.

I don't hate Tinubu and I think he is a good politician but he is not invincible. Power comes from the people, there is a certain level of unpopularity a leader will reach where no force on earth can save him, the people don't even need to hate you they just have to start seeing politics as a job for 'those other people not for us', you hear statements like "it doesn't matter who rules they are all the same", Government becomes a force of nature, something they adjust to but can't influence.

That is the kind of mentality that encourages coups, because the coup plotters understand the people just don't care anymore.

Ironically Tinubu might jubilate about the lack of protest in the South but the lack of protest proves that this kind of mentality is becoming very popular in the South.

aariwa:
warrants chiefs were imposed on igbos because the British couldn’t subdue them to slaves your people are now. Igbos don’t believe in slavery mentality the reason some of your rely on a jobless London blogger to tell you the story of your tribe is because factually you people have no credible history except for the ile ife bronze heads discovered to be less than 400 hundred years old while igbo ukwu calabash was estimated to be around 7th century by British archeologists meaning Igbos have been at least 700 years in present Nigeria before your people migrated

Warrant Chiefs were imposed on Igbos because Igbos were so disorganized, Warrant Chiefs were the only way they could get anything done. Funny enough many of the Ezes and traditional rulers in Igboland today were descendants or beneficiaries of the Warrant Chief System including Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

It's interesting you mention Igbo Ukwu, which were beautiful art works. But where was it found? In the Nri Kingdom, one of the few parts of Igboland that were organized and had Kings.

babasolution:
He never acted as the emperor of Greece though,each state had their systems

Well he freed the Greeks from Persia regardless and he was an Emperor.

We can agree on that

babasolution:
Alexander the great was emperor of Macedonia not Greece, Greece had fallen by his time

Macedonia was a city in Greece, Sparta, Athens, Thebes were cities in Greece too, it was Alexander the Great that unified Greece to fight against the Persians.

babasolution:
Note,Greece didn't have emperors,America didn't have emperors,America and Greece dis more for civilisation than the rest

Alexander the Great was from where?

America had democracy sure for white men only

babasolution:
No one wasn't easy pickings for SLAVERY, the Hausa's even far from the coast were sold by their own LORDS to slavery first to Arabs and later to the coast,Yorubas also fell to SLAVERY by their own hands with constant instability and wars in their polity.only BENIN were somewhat shielded from slavery ,only due to their monarchs disposition to SLAVERY otherwise they too would have been victims,so in all emperor system was no BETTER

Good you mentioned that Benin Monarch not the Benin Democracy shielded the people from slavery

babasolution:
It was simply a better ideology because it allowed people to live more freely,this is based on the fact that igbos are mocked for not having supposed "statehood" with emperors.

Human sacrifice was not stopped in yorubaland or Benin till the 19th century.

If you know the real act's of the emperors you'll hate them.

Research on the life and times of say the oyo rulers you'll understand my point of view BETTER.

Most of them ruled with gross impunity, though there were checks,but it didn't stop their gross impunity

Rome had Emperors, France had Emperors, Egypt had Emperors, Greece had Emperors, Britain had Kings

It was Alexander the Great who freed the Greeks from the Persians

It was Emperor Augustus Caesar who gave Rome Pax Romana.

No leader shaped the 19th and 20th century like Emperor Napoleon who brought greatness to France and defeated the ruling European powers.

Today Oyo and Benin Empire artifacts are admired and studied in British museums.

Great civilizations are founded by Great Individuals, they can be preserved by the masses but they are founded and reformed by Great Individuals.

Your 'free society' brought nothing to civilization, on the contrary 'civilization' brought a lot to your 'free society'.

babasolution:
It was the times,things like this were done all over the world, even the whites considered as who some considered as having developed systems were burning women on stakes accused of witchcraft

Twins were not considered abominations in Yoruba land and Human sacrifice was abolished centuries in most Western cultures and even among Fulanis. Mind you they didn't have the superior democracy.

If you committed the same crimes everyone without 'Ancient Democracy' are commiting then why would you claim to be better than them

Ancient Democracy where Twins were considered abominations

Ancient Democracy where certain people were labelled Osus.

Ancient Democracy where women were pursued from her husband's house if she didn't have a son.

Ancient Democracy where sick people were labelled cursed.

Who gives a bleep about the largest tribes?

Quantity does not equal quality

The vast majority of leaders in Nigeria have belonged to minority tribes, the exception is Yoruba

We will take you seriously when you stage a protest against Simon Ekpa the way you did under Buhari...

Lots of insults targeting Ekpa would also be nice

They won, Chidimma dropped out and left their country, they have their 'proper South African' winner but despite that, they won't stop the insults.

It's good this way let the whole world see them for what they really are underneath their so called patriotism.

Shinjawestern:
Lies...some Nigerians from a certain region always come into south Africa to deal in drug business...

Why do U think southafricans hate Nigerians..


Why is their complain always on Nigerians selling drugs in their countries...

Why do their always mention Nigeria always?

Your assuming some people are reasonable and can make fair judgements, whereas the truth is some people hate first then look for grounds to justify the hatred.

*Confirmation Bias*

Why do Igbo politicians love copying Lagos politicians and they never copy the best of Lagos politicians but always the worst.

Is this girl worth voting for?

It's clear she loves clout, she should have resigned from the SA competition a long time but she really dragged it out and allowed Nigerians to be insulted for no reason...

Next she came to Nigeria, she didn't even try to take the time to learn about the country or her history - she just immediately jumped to miss universe contest...

Is it by force to be a miss something?

Namaster:
"He simply woke up and decided to destroy somebody's career (and get views) for no good reason."

So church business is a "career" now?

Thought it was a calling.

A career and a calling aren't they the same thing

Jos

Yes I know Prophet Jeremiah product might not heal, but why is Verydarkman targeting only Prophet Jeremiah?

Don't catholic church sell rosary to people marketed for similar reason? Don't other churches sell things like holy water for the same reason?

I know a guy who once had 'holy biro' before.

But Verydarkman ignored other churches and just singled out Prophet Jeremiah, why?

He simply woke up and decided to destroy somebody's career (and get views) for no good reason.

CriminalTinubu:
Always chest beating and bragging.
What exactly did the disgraced druglord achieve? A coward that was hiding in his room whilst protesters reigned supreme at his doorstep?

Where was this writer during the protest? Hiding like other Agbado leaders?


Tinubu has lost Northern votes.
That was why the protest begun and its goal was achieved.

Didn't even read the post, the writer was wrong about you
