₦airaland Forum

demmy: First you all claimed he was speaking the truth, now it was his opinion? Which is it?

I am not surprised the above came from your skewed stream of thought. Who is he in your useless response?

demmy: Sorry to break it to you but Yorubas are not a monolith. People are free to believe whatever they want. Its called freedom of religion. Heard it before? Now how is this relevant to Achebe and his ongoing possible induction into the Nairaland Hall of Shame again?

In your damnable wild imagination, you did not think it is oddity to put someone who enjoyed freedom of expression into your idiotic Nairaland’s hall of shame? Probably, your psychotic skull have not heard people are free to express opinions freely.

Aigbofa: This above applies to you and some of your people who are fascinated by Oduduwa. Everyday they lift up their eyes and pray to somebody who basically did the reverse of what Oduduwa did!

Do not forget about Yoruba indebtedness to one crack head heading to Mecca.

dayokanu: Who has denied that Yoruba embrace Christianity and other religion or whats your point?

Yoruba are bent on messing with people in the cesspit called Nigeria. They tend to point filthy fingers at other people. Sometimes, they seemed delusional and fall for everything and it shows. In one instance, they are for a fellow descending from sky and in another they are for another drunk ascending to the sky. Yet in another instance, Yoruba are for another addict heading to Mecca.

dayokanu: Havent majority of Ibos adopted this Roman myth?

We hear Ibos are from Jews so its also Jewish history that God created a man from clay

I use to know one Samuel L. Akintola. The last time I checked, Samuel is not Yoruba.

Aigbofa: Now it is Roman religious myth? Am sure it doesn't look like that in Churches across Igboland today. And next time you want to talk about Oduduwa, remember there are millions of your people who pray daily to a fellow that ascended to the sky, just like Oduduwa decended from the sky.

If this is the case, I guess Yoruba peeps seemed to be more delusional than Igbo. There were more pastors, even with private jets, in Yoruba land than Igbo land. It is two strikes you are out. Yoruba have struck out twice with one drunken fellow descending from the sky and another ascending to the sky.

Aigbofa: Come of it! We all know most Ibos are Catholics, there's nothing bad in that. Your problem is that you cannot reconcile Yoruba believe in Oduduwa decending from the sky with Jesus ascending to the sky.

I knew it will get to a point where European\Roman religious myth will be equated to Igbo religious myth. You started off by revealing my frustration over Yoruba creational myth to none Igbo. Suddenly, you find a way to join Igbo to Roman’s religious myth.

Aigbofa: Achebe was a party to the whole mess. He is in not in a position to question the motive of anybody involved in the war. He did what he had to do, like using images of dead and dying children as a prop for his propaganda war. And people on the federal side did what they had to do.
Trying to call Awo's motive into question was a great miscalculation on his part.

The above is a figment of imagination borne out of ignorance. Awolowo fought for his people on Nigerian side as Achebe fought for his people on the Biafran side. Only a drunken rascal will find fault with this statement. Achebe simply stated the obvious when he spoke about Awolowo’s motives in joining the war on Nigerian side

Aigbofa: That would be like 90% of ibos. So, do you think most ibos are drunken, idiotic fools for believing Jesus ascended to the sky?

I am not surprised you arrived at the above conjecture. You must be a super human to know certain percentile of the belief on the conjectural crap by Ndigbo. This is not the first time a Yoruba peep has arrogated such spiritual knowledge to him\her self.

Aigbofa: He is stuck in the sense that he narrates such events not as matter of history. He does so with venom, with hate, lies and without any sense of shame and the part he himself took in the whole saga.

It is safe to deduce that Yoruba peeps would rather believe bunch of falsehood than simple truth. I can not fathom how you discern sense of venom, hate and lie from Achebe’s narrative accounts of what transpired in Biafra. I have read the book and did dictate an iota of caustic phrase used by Achebe. In addition, nitwits who seemed to call Achebe names were not present in Biafra during the war.

In addition, Awolowo never denied the policy of starvation by Nigerian government.

Aigbofa: I assume you are a catholic. Don't you believe another fellow that died and rose up after three days and then ascended to the sky?

Talk of being rational!

Do you think I am in a class of drunken and idiotic fools to believe the above conjectural crap? No wonder Yoruba peeps are twisted out of human form due to real account of human events by Achebe

Aigbofa: The problem is not that you mention Biafra. You mention Biafra, and then blame everything that happened there on Yoruba and Awolowo in particular. Biafra is ancient history to most Yorubas, it's done, it's over. Ibos are the ones who stuck in Biafra and can't seem to move on. Even Achebe is perpetually stuck in the 60s

Don't think for a minute you can heap insults on Yorubas for your own misadventure and not expect a response. This is how what you call tribalism started on Nairaland. If it wasn't Nairaland it would be another website. The key is that you all move on and tell Achebe to stop writing garbage and stop reopening old wounds.

I am not surprised you subscribed to the crap above to rebut the fact that mere mention of Biafra on Nairaland tends to jumpstart inherent tribalism in a Yoruba peep. It is very silly for anyone to arrogate sense of blame when human event such as Nigeria/Biafra war is recounted. The dingbats who assumed that they are being blamed in such narrative accounts need to do a soul search.

It is very childish for a person to accuse Achebe of being stuck in 60s because he, Achebe, tends to narrate recorded events. I guess anybody who attempts to recount the amalgamation of the protectorates must be stuck in 10s.

demmy: I understand why you're frustrated by this Yoruba creation myth, since ibos have no deep ancient history to speak of.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_myth

There is no doubt only delusional rascals will assume an idiotic Yoruba myth of a drunken fellow falling from the sky will induce frustration on average rational human being.

demmy: Well Achebe is nominated for Hall of Shame by majority of people who found him divisive.

I hope he win sha.

Of course, only majority of dumbazz jackasses such as you will find Achebe divisive and nominate him for the idiotic Nairaland’s hall of shame.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Ah Ah!! Can you take a break from the kind of shots in the bolded above, in the spirit of Yuletide? Anyway, nwanne m, Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year in advance[/quote]Truth does not need to take a break. In addition, virtues can not give way to inherent stupidity.

Nwannem, Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year in advance too.

jason123: Thank You NL! That old man is in USA trying to cause division in Nigeria! Age does not equate to maturity!

It is abundantly clear that neither age nor maturity is on your side, olodo.

seanet02: Frustrated man.

You are a renowned ill-informed and frustrated toddler who had been meant to believe that Oduduwa fell from the sky, olodo.

seanet02: @op. You are r.e.t.a.r.d.e.d
When achebe decided to publish a pack of unprecedented and frivolous lies, where were you?
Did you ibos not come here to support him?
Selection of Achebe into this forum's hall of fame was done through an election.
So STFU.

No wonder delusional rascals believed Oduduwa fell from the sky. I guess Achebe selection into the so-called hall of shame of Nairaland was conducted by bunch of moronic nitwits.

Aigbofa: Afam, let us be honest. The seed of what you see today on Nairaland was sown by your people. It was a relentless daily assaults on Yoruba and everything Yoruba by Igbos on this forum that got us to this point.

Can you be truthful for once in your miserable life? I know the hell will freeze up before a simple truth flows from the lips of a Yoruba. It does not take more than the mention of Biafra on Nairaland to send a Yoruba peep into a tailspin of tribally uncouth language.

Eleme is not Ogoni. Anybody who thinks otherwise is ignorant of the fact.

Katsumoto: Mazi Dede1

Please follow the context of the discussion.

Second, don't Igbo guys always brag about how strong they are and about how they can break others, most usually Yoruba, into two two with their bare hands. Can't you recollect how one of your brothers most famously declared that a true warrior is one who would drop his weapons and challenge his opponents to a physical duel?

Omo, you have to chill because Ndigbo do more than dwell on stories about wrestling matches. Ndigbo do not turn a mere wrestling match into a story about war of attrition. The act of indulgence in such fairy tales is left for women.

aribisala0: Why are you talking like this naa?? Every lunatic has a history!! It is called psychiatric history. In this case he has been mad for a long time. Ever since his rat poison business failed.As the rats were eating his poison with impunity

I am not surprised you showed such a great interest in rat poison. Should we raise suicidal alarm since you are staunch supporter of Awolowo?

Katsumoto: Hahahaha

You do know that is copy right infringement. You started referring to the Kiriji war as a wrestling contest after I jokingly stated that Igbo hamlets settled communal disputes through wrestling contests. And I said the Akagbe debacle was more likely a fight between a tiv man and an Igbo man over a tuber of yam. Learn to be original Dede1. In any case, the Kiriji war and its consequent treaties are well recorded by the Brits. Can you yell us about the events recorded by the Brits in Alaigbo?

You are having fun by surreptitiously chasing her, referring to yourself as her oko? Ko. In any case, I am sure Desola is a young lady and will not .......

Make sure prudence is on your side while attending to a worthy In-law like me. It is funny you have foolishly arrogated the invention of the phrase-“wrestling match” to yourself. I guess you invented Nairaland too.

Katsumoto: Ok Dede1

It is time to tell that tale of when Ndigbo fought back Fulani invasion during the Akagbe debacle (your words).

Do not pay any mind to the loudmouthed Yoruba lady called Desola. I am having fun with lengthy and often winded conjectural tales of wrestling matches known as Kiriji wars narrated by abler revisionists such as you.

Desola: and how does the alleged contortion of facts concern you or anyone of your ethnicity?

Weren't you supposed to concern yourself with all things biafrog alone?

I really do not understand your pain in this matter at all.

Perhaps you are trying to compensate for your own lack of history?

Have you forgotten the cultural etiquette inculcated in you by your mother on how to address your oko? Or have you forgotten the concerns of an In-law? I hate folks whose stock of trade is contortion of historical facts.

I have never expressed any concern towards your delusions such as biafrog. If you honestly deduced I am compensating for lack of recorded events, you need to get your oblongata checked.

It is laughable to read junks from revisionists who had desperately attempted to circumvent the true or accurate account of Oduduwa and Ife as given by Oba of Benin and historians of Edo ancestry. It is a known fact that Oyo-ile was situated in a place 30 miles north of Ilorin before the eviction. Some of us know how to perform simple addition. I urge the revisionists to allow us a moment of social decorum on this forum by applying breaks on telling makeshift stories of wrestling matches known as kiriji wars.

It must be noted these wrestling matches over tubers of yam or cassava and deceitfully tagged as Kiriji wars came after the infamous eviction from a place currently in Niger State. It is safe to conclude the story of Oduduwa and Ife by Oba of Benin and Edo historians seemed to be more correct than the cock and bull fairy tales about the wrestling matches aka Kiriji.

aribisala0: I am just waiting to die. I am tired of living.

What a fool. You forgot suicide is a valid option, olodo.

Geomac: This is senseless.

Of course, it can not make sense to people in the same IQ level with you.

Aigbofa: Sir, Adesoji Aderemi's appointment was a ceremonial one. In some commonwealth countries like Canada and Australia, prominent citizens are regularly appointed into such positions. Sir, Aderemi's appointment had nothing to do with the hierarchy of traditional rulers in Yorubaland.

You are just shooting your arrows everywhere hoping one will land on your target. Abeg reach for the recliner jare and relax.

Of course, I knew the appointment of Sir Adesoji Aderemi as Governor of western region of Nigeria was ceremonial but executive. You are still chasing the shadow and failing to understand the body politics that went down in western region under Awo’s AG regime. In the eastern region, the Governor was not an Obi, Eze or Igwe. Also in northern region, the Governor was not Emir, El Kanemi or Sultan.

[quote author=Dolly-Parton]No u are wrong. There no A in that result. A1 is 1, B2 is 2,B3 is 3, C4 is 4,etc[/quote]Please, write on what you know for sure. This could be a sound of different beat. When I sat for WAEC, there was no B in the result aggregates. There were A, C, P and F. Thus, A1, A2, A3, C4, C5, C6, P7, P8 and F9.

bilms: Nigeria can never go. According to chinu achebe, there was a country. Nigeria is a country not was a country. It shall continue to be.

Who cares if you make Nigeria a patent entity? You can keep it for good.

hercules07: @Katsumoto

The Ooni is a nonentity, yes Ife was and is the spiritual home of the Yorubas, but, the Alaafin is far superior to the Ooni, why did the Fulanis not make an attempt on Ife, afterall, they were after the Yorubas, it was Awolowo that gave the Ooni the mouth to talk (pardon my YoroEnglish), the Ibadans would have made short work of the Ooni if he had tried any nonsense, yet, when the Alaafin plotted against them, they still respected him.

Please tell the truth to some of the unrepentant revisionists on this forum. If Alaafin did not oppose Awolowo’s brand of politics in 40s and 50s, hence the appointment of Ooni as the Governor of western region by AG government, this debate should not have been born.
