Rossinnki:
You're the one who reasons like a drunkard.

The Chinese are not an ethnic group, but an amalgamation of peoples.

Yes and the Igbos is not an ethnic group but also an amalgamation of peoples

Rossinnki:
Ethnic groups did not arise in Africa ''out of necessity''.

It was the white man that came in and told YOU that you were ''an Igbo man''. And separated you through stroke of a pen, from a ''Yoruba man''. and an ''Hausa man'', many of whom were hitherto your known blood relatives!

So was it colonialism that made Hausas to invade the Yaribas? Your talking as if Africa was a land of great peace and unity before colonialism

Rossinnki:
Comparing it to using a phone is ignorant. A phone is helpful. Tribalism is the opposite.

You don't have to use EVERY import they send you. You have the ability to decide which to discard, based on their impact on your society.

Tell that to Anthony Joshua proud of being a Yoruba explain to him that his tribalism is useless if tribalism was so deadly for us how come it has still stayed and survived?

Rossinnki:
DE-TRIBALIZATION is AFRICAN.

Living as a detribalized person means going back to the ways of our ancestors,
whoo judged a man not by the language he spoke, but by the content of his character.

This is a very false misrepresentation of your ancestors, did you know your ancestors saw nothing wrong with Human sacrifice? Your presenting an European version of your ancestors

Rossinnki:
Seeing yourself as a ''Yoruba man'' or an ''Igbo man'' is playing out the Divide and Rule agenda of colonizers, whose aim was always to bring disunity among previously integrated peoples.

Previously integrated people... i drop my pen

You can as well tell Chinese the concept of belonging to a nation is unasian

Mind you Japan Taiwan and China were once together

Now you said Biafra is a Portuguese name but Nigeria itself is gotten from Britain the name Yoruba is a hausa name, the name Africa came from the Romans, people are always named by outsiders

Tribalism is not a Western invention it's a social one, people need groups to satisfy their wants the bigger the wants the more complex the group... In the olden days there were small wants so there were smaller groups like clan etc but as they grew the clan grew bigger

Now what if tribe is a Western invention the phone you are using is also a Western invention but should you get rid of it?

I wonder if your even in Africa at all, look at the xenophobia in South Africa look at Boko Haram in the north how on Earth do you expect people to come together to solve their problems without becoming national or tribal

Read books and stop getting wisdom from kai kai

The pastor was correct...

The foolish mother should have taught her daughter how to think for herself...

She neglected her daughter made her to start seeking hope in pastors and now she's paying for her witchcraft

Rekhina:
tinubu is famous for keeping Lagos treasure ba?

Tinubu might be looting his own people atleast he's doing it reasonably

Lagos is still an international hub

But Igbo politicians don't even know how to loot sensibly they loot and leave their own regions terrible chasing away investors

jimyjames:
This country was looted by northerners and Yoruba's , abacha and obasanjo took the lion share of the loot


The hands of the Igbo's are clean when it comes to looting this country

But igbo politicians are famous for looting their own people, strangely enough against their own interest

Rossippi:
You don't dictate to a people how to react after you murder their leaders and refuse to bring the perpetrators to justice!

That you expect them to act 'rationally' after such a grievous injustice and disruption of their world, just shows the deep narcissism of many Igbos.

If a small group of Hausa barbers in Onitsha woke up one day and slaughtered all the Igbo leaders, including the Obi of Onitsha with machine guns in cold blood, and were allowed to walk free for 7 months by the Hausa ruler of the country, would Onitsha residents target only Hausa barbers, or would they target Hausas?

This is a very stupid point by ignorant people

Many Northern and Western elites wanted Ahmadu Bello dead, he had terrible economic ideas

Nzeogwu the man who killed Ahmadu Bello was buried in northern Nigeria with military honors

The so-called revenge killings were simply excuses to seize power

Rossippi:
After Ojukwu fled and the East surrendered, they were at the mercy of federal troops.

The federal troops were ready to march into the east and slaughter every single person there, thus ending the existence of the Igbo ethnic group.

Then they received a call from Lagos.

From Yakubu Gowon, who ordered them to sheathe their swords, and return to the barracks.

Without that call from Gowon, there would be no Igbos today, as an ethnic group.

There would be no Onitsha, Enugu, Owerri, Umuahia, Nnewi, Aba, or Abakaliki today.

Those places would have been renamed and would today be called,

New Kaduna

New Benin

Orisha Town

New Lagos

New Ilorin

New Zaria

Osun City

New Ilesha etc etc.


See, THAT is what NORMALLY happens when you lose a war.

You are not just left alone to carry on where you left off. All your leaders are executed. Your cities are burned to the ground, and your men massacred or enslaved, and your women carted off as wives and concubines, and scattered across the land.

But in Nigeria's case it was different, thanks to General Yakubu Gowon.

After the war he declared ''No Victor, No Vanquished''. A WORLD FIRST.

The entire world was STUNNED.

They least expected such a rare display of humanity and magnanimity from any country, least of all, an AFRICAN country.

Africa was a continent they had long dismissed as a savage, barbaric land filled with primitive, warring tribes who despised one other.

Gowon's declaration of ''No Victor, No Vanquished'' made world headlines, and was aired in every newspaper and TV station on earth when it happened, to serve as an example to the world, and to humanity, that military victory does not have to translate to the annihilation of your foe.

He even gave the defeated Biafrans money! And sent in federal funds to help rebuild their fallen cities! And allowed them to continue with self governance!

That simply never happens in warfare.

If you don't know warfare, go and study warfare.

Message for secessionist haters: Truth is, if Nigeria was anywhere near as evil, wicked and hateful of Igbos as you say she is, you wouldn't actually exist.

This Op is clearly ignorant of war

First of all genocides are really really expensive, Nigeria didn't have that kind of money even Hitler himself didn't succeed in wiping out Jews, majority of the Jews died when they were free mostly from diseases

There is also the Economic factor which is why Britain or Russia didn't exterminate Germany, because Germany could be their trade partner killing them would crash British economy for good and also Germany could be a potential ally in the future

War isn't about how many people you can kill it is about winning every good military general understands this...Even during the Biafra war there were times when the troops would stop fighting each other get together and eat


Lastly he should have gone ahead and extinct Igbos just like the dinosaurs...

Just like the dinosaurs we haven't really forgotten about them we still preserved and study their bones

You think killing your enemy makes them die

azimo:
This blood oil is the biggest problem, Africa you don't need oil to survive all you need is you natural brains. Japan is a good example

Do we have natural brains?

Let us use the one God gave us abegi

Foolish people everytime Abacha loot since 1999 I'm even doubting if the loot exists

They should use the loot of Obasanjo and co

Rip Fulanis

Sanwo olu is simply doing his job he's just following orders

We all know who is in charge

Liars

Be honest abegi You banned Keke and Okada to promote other means of transport especially Uber and co

Because the companies settled you

Sabby1:
The young lad parent or guardian seriously need immense enlightenment. From the look of things, I strongly believe that the boy didn't post that. His parent or guardian are probably trying as hard as possible to trend on social media platforms, using the kid as sacrificial lamb or bait.

Come to think of it, what is a 6 year old doing on social media?

Lol so the parents are pedos

People are so fond of saying Religion is for the poor but in every society this doesn't work the most religious are always the Rich

here are some side notes

Osama Bin Laden was a millionaire

Buddha was a prince

Jesus was an upper middle class

Mohammed was a wealthy trader

Borno state we are fine

But which one is Regional-Community police

Is it a regional or a community police

These are not the same

RaptorX:
Nothing like a Chinese green card.

Acceptance from Chinese government if you like

He wants Chinese green card

Well he deserves it sha

otuekong1:
What I mean is,it will be bad and wrong if the family of CP ene Okon are attacked,cause cross riverans might now see it as an attack on them by igbos

Why do Igbos always have to be on the civilized end

Chest beater

Prompto:
Bro I don't know why Ipob refuse to bear arm since O. Their matter tire me ! Ordinary boko haram is showing Nigeria pepper I don't know what Kanu is waiting for instead making foolish mouth everyday he should import gun n start the fight for Biafra freedom if he is not a foolish coward everyone is calling him.

Great things cannot be accomplished in a short time it must be little by little

Boko Haram haven't gone anywhere

otuekong1:
This might lead to ethnic problems,if IPOB hunt attack the children of people that are not from their tribe

Good morning ALL

but it didn't lead to ethnic problems when a commander is disturbing burial of a people not from his tribe

Blah blah blah blah blah

just say you want more military power and you want to monitor the lives of lagosians very simple

Prompto:
Are all those states without Tinubu puppet doing beta than Lagos or don't you think if you advice your governor to the beta than Lagos other state might emulate him which in turn prompt Lagosian to vote out Tinubu's puppet.

Why should Tinubu's puppet be voted out when it offers the most development among the governors in the country. You can imagine what amoeba Ikpeazu as turn Abia into, Enugu is gradually but steadily being degradeded into another shitbole by the fucq face Ugwuayi. Even God as removed his hands from Ebonyi matter that one is doomed from generation to generations.

You should wail more about those than Tinubu's puppet that are commissioning developmental project weekly while your destiny n that of your bigoted unborn generation is being exchange for 3 litre of kerosene.

You should be a little bit scientific how are you sure Asiwaju puppet is responsible for the development

How sure are you that he isn't holding it

Voting Asiwaju puppet out is the best way to find out

Foolish people now the government has time to disrupt it

hisexcellency34:
If we know the health benefits of trekking, we will thank this man

We don't know so it's okay to curse him

Nigerian soldiers should do the needful abegi

So password was not required?

OyinO:
Yeah, short form of colonial mentality is colo mentality. Chinese students in England first translate English to Chinese, do the assignment or homework and translate back to English for submission. You are a happy slave to the colonial slave masters. Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Bob Marley spoke and sang in pidgin. I don't think anybody in your lineage will ever be popular or great as those two. Fela's rememberance is celebrated annually in English America. Bob Marley is celebrated world wide annually too. They spoke and sang in English. Who English or England epp!?

But Pidgin was originally a slave language
