You are slow

Yoruba was used by Shogai empire in 1600 to describe Yorubas even before Fulani could arrive in Hausa land in large numbers. It's written in your screen shots.


So how can Fulani give Yorubas the name Yoruba ?

Because your name is what everyone else calls you we call China China and Taiwan Taiwan

Although Taiwan originally called itself China

You can invent whatever funny name you want if most people around you don't recognize that name then it is pointless

So it's very simple to see how Yoruba was invented by Hausas their closest neighbor

Wikipedia?

Try again!

What are your contradictory posts

Iamgrey5:
@ emboldened

Please go over your history books again

.

These northern animals are getting smarter day by day

They are trying to use their hatred for Igbos to bring unity they are indirectly saying Igbos are causing the problems in the north

The killing of Igbos is not causing the madness of the north, rather it is the madness of the north that led to the killing of Igbos

That if you allow your sit partner to copy from you he would steal your intelligence

Rossinnki:
They still conduct human sacrifice. Such as the recent sacrifice of 1 million Iraqis by a US president who stated he was asked by God to invade Iraq and Afhghanistan.

I said language was NOT a basis for ethnicity in precolonial times.

Language was not what united people, and language difference was not what separated people or led to animosity between groups, as is the case today.

Language is not a basis for unity today many Igbos can speak Yoruba very well and they are not seen as Yoruba people they don't see themselves as Yoruba either

Just look at North/South Korea at war, although they speak the same language

Language isn't what is dividing people today, it is ideologies

Rossinnki:
How do YOU know there is something wrong with 'human sacrifice'?

Have we ever sought to understand the philosophy behind it?

Or even research its prevalence?

The white man just came and said ''we'' conducted human sacrifice. And that colours your understanding of ALL African religion, including when and where no such practices existed.

The white man killed over religion.. It was called the Inquiisition. The Crusades. Nice names for murder in the name of religion.

Yes but unlike you white people are not saying we should return back to the days of the Inquisition they understand history a little bit

Rossinnki:
Why do you drop your pen?

Did you ever hear about ''Igbos'' versus ''Yoruba'' wars or enmity in pre-colonial times?

Conflicts were often between neighbouring clans who spoke the name language, but apparently DID NOT see themselves as ''one people'', or they wouldn't fight such bloody wars against each other.

There you've said it Our ancestors fought each other before colonialism and they didn't see themselves as one people

But how do you know they were one people?

The idea of African unity was also invented by Whites when they were trying to justify their racism, we are all the same to them

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
