[img][/img] BKayy:Problem with u is that your ego has blocked ur sense of reality. Are Igbos the only people in the south The Great Benin and Oyo Empires have rich cultural heritage thats unsurpassed by any tribe in the South. They have a thriving civilization before the white man stepped foot on the coast of west Africa, but same cant be said about Igbos. Though the use of cavalry in warfare is alien to your tribe, it is not to other tribes in the south. Benin and Oyo had cavalry army too, do they get that from the Arabs too ? Fact of the matter is, Igbo people were among the most backward tribes in the South of the Sahel. You know it, and everyone knows it. Which is why you have been easy preys to smaller tribes even in your region, for centuries. Just because the white man found you yesterday, clothed you, thought you how to read and write in english, suddenly you are the "superior" tribe that want to re-write the past; hence achievements order tribes have attained in the past, could not have been Indigenious to them but to Igbo boogeyman i.e "Arab", "hausa", "Fulani" etc. Why yorubas had clothes, at a time your tribe were wandering naked? "it because of Arab, Hausa, fulani" . why Borno Empire conquered part of Libya, and had embassy in Turkey at a time, your tribe were living the life of hunters and gatherers? "its because of Arabs". Why a non-Igbo tribe like Fulanis, yorubas, Edos had Cavalry Army and superior war armour, at a time when there was no single horse in Igbo land or you were fighting almost bare naked? "its because of Arab". Why the Ancient beautiful architectural cities and building the north? " it is because of Arab". Why the existence of fine Yoruba Architectural buildings and clothing, at a time there was nothing of such in Igbo land? "its because they copied from Arab, Hausa, or Fulani". Why non-igbo tribes like Igalas were wearing shoes, at time igbos were wandering barefooted? "it must be because of Arab". Thus displaying ur low self esteem for all to see ![]() Btw, do you know the Red hats that has for centuries become a symbol of status in Igbo land, came from the North? https://media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2014/02/Igbo-cheifs.jpg Sophisticated Mkuru Mmiri Army Corps ![]() [img]https:///e3cc0dbe873bfc2092e38ad2e65c59b6/tumblr_mukldjlSEl1qjh37to2_r1_1280.jpg[/img] Can they even fight against the All Female Army of Dahomey? https://humanzoos.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Amazonen-Corps-a.-d.-Leibgarde-des-Konigs-v.-Dahomey-in-Westafrika-800x523.jpg

Donmobi:The art of warfare is always evolving. In the olden days conventional warfare is via close combat, hence camouflaged uniforms were not necessary. The development of longer range and deadlier weapons of the 20th century made camouflaged uniforms necessary. However, with growing development in heat seeking laser guided weaponry, even camouflaged uniforms will soon be a thing of the pass. With 100, 000 strong Cavalry Army, at its heights, the Kanem Bornu Empire stretched from Nassarrawa State (Nigeria) to Modern day Libya. One cant help but to marvel at the sophistry of the Ancient Bornu Cavalry Regalia, as compared to our Igbo warrior army of early 20th century. ![]() BKAyy, you derailed this thread. While I find the initial thread posts educating, it was not my intention to participate in this manner. If you want to compare ur heritage with others, at least be fair and objective about it. Besides, you dont have to distort or belittle other people's heritage/history, for yours to seem "special". It just shows desperation on your part, and is counter-productive. We all have a lot to learn from each other as you can see.

Donmobi:Arab Murals Indeed ![]() FYI, Ancient cities in the Sahel North and in other parts of Southern Nigeria (Oyo, benin etc) are still there for everyone to see. The only ethnic group with something to proof is yours, cos they have nothing of such, Beside being sold as slaves by all other tribes, its still debatable whether Igbo had a civilization when the white man found you. See early nineties photo of Igbo warriors, looking like hunters and gatherers ![]()

Shiver99:Stop deceiving people. Those are (temporary) made shift huts made by nomadic dwellers. You cant show what a real ancient city in the Sahel looks like, lest it hurts your ego. Do you really wanna compare Igbo cities/civilization with Ancient cities or civilization of the the Sahel? Here are some: BTW the 3rd photo is a museum display of a full 16th century battle regalia of Empire of Bornu (Sahel) Cavalry Soldier. Do Igbo civilization has anything remarkable close to that ![]()

WillyDave:This your analysis is self refuting. What guarantee is there, that APC would not play the same card PDP is playing, if the hypothetical "Igbo man" who served as vice decides to run for president under PDP? So long politics remains a game of numbers, the North would Always have the upper hand, hence It is common sense that both parties would be tempted to zone their party presidential ticket to the North whenever the other zones its ticket to the South. My humble advice as a Northerner, is that the South (particularly SE & SW) need to get their shit together in both parties, ensuring their parties zoning are in synch, else they'll both be at the loosing end, more so for SE which is already heavily invested in PDP. Rather than blaming the SW whom are reaping the fruits of their investment in APC , the Onus is on SE to have PDP zone its ticket to the region, else an Igbo man would never win a presidential ticket in our lifetime. |
BoBiafra:You people have no shame playing the "Fulani" card to justify your bigotry whenever it suits you, yet you all hate everyone that doesnt share your Biafra sentiments with a passion. Northernersthat have lost their lives and properties in SE, did they get asked if they where "Fulanis"?. I guess, Igbo victims of Ipob terrorists must have been "Fulanis" too, abi? . To an average igbo miscreants, ALL northerners are "Fulanis", Yoruba Muslims are "Fulanis", even igbos that disagree with them are "Fulanis". Fact of the matter is, "Fulani" , "Jihadists", "supporters of APC", "invaders" etc. etc are just pseudonyms for anyone that disagrees with your Biafra Online Country. |
FaithBrain1994:Point is, you have never set foot outside the country you love to hate. Otherwise, you won't be imposing standards that doesn't exist anywhere else just for the sake of criticizing, Mr..."Nigeria is a Joke". Still looking for that Yankee baby eh? ![]() |
FaithBrain1994:You know all that how? ![]() Btw, In which particular country does mounting surveillance - to mitigate fire disaster at a shopping Mall - falls under jurisdiction of Environmental Safety and Risk Management agency or whatever?? ESA professionals perform environmental impact and risk assessment of sites to provide guidelines and mitigation protocols. Enforcement or surveillance is not there thing... If you hate Nigeria that much, least you could do is know what you are talking about. Here in the west, I have witnessed a fair share of seemingly shocking disasters. Just last month, a car at my office parkade went up in flames because the owner didnt have a fire extinguisher nor know how to use the one he hurriedly borrowed. Atleast in Naija, cars are mandated to have fire extinguishers. |
Atheism is a religion, that's a fact! It's a religion borne out of desires for those who though they know their is God, but chose to live in denial. Their reason for joining atheism is ALWAYS an emotional one. When the chips are down they always expose their foolery. Here's Richard Dawkins, the "pope" of Atheism, calling out for God,when he was caught off guard with the simplest of questions. ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv2U2Xp2Nu8 I don't argue with Johnny Just Come "Atheists", whom for the most parts, are just self confused Theists masquerading as Atheist. "Atheist" is a trendy word in this our modern age, and many are just simply trend followers. The premise for establishing any rational or logical debate is in itself contradictory to Atheist doctrine. The concept of Objective Morality does not exist in Atheism. An Atheist whos trying to use the concept of right and wrong to make a case for Atheism is not only hypocritical, but also fooling himself. Evolution, Darwinism, and Natural selection are their gods. They would tell you human behavior is shaped by their need to survive so as to procreate. " spread the genes" they say. Yet, same Atheist would tell you it's bad to have more than one wife and many children, and theyll rationalize homosexuality. Their very lifestyle and belief is self contradictory. Objective morality is inherent to human nature. It's not something humans need to be taught or experience. It's the ultimate proof of the existence of a higher Supreme being, who made it inherent upon his creatures. Atheism is not a rational belief. |
"Have you considered him who has taken his whims and desires for his god? Then God knowingly allows him to stray, sealing his hearing and his heart, and has placed a veil over his vision. So who can guide him after God? Will you not reflect?" Quran 45:23 |
angelEmade:You seem like those folks who think everyone up north is either hausa or fulani. Do not confuse lingua franca with ethnicity. Who told you those countries don't have ethnic minorities ? FYI, even the ruling dynasty of England (house of windsor) are not English, but German in origin. European countries are geographical boundaries based on assimilation by conquests. Most smaller tribes have been wiped out or completely assimilated by the dominant tribes. That being said, there are still ethnic Germans, gypsies, Hispanics, Dutch within geographical boundary called France. Their are still Swiss, Dutch, ethnic French, gypsies, jews, poles, Czechs, Austrians, within geographical boundaries of German, there are Germans, Austrians, Hungarians, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, ethnic jews, within Poland. Russia have ethnic slavs, Swedes, Finns, romanians, Bulgarians, chechens, tartars, Georgians, Armenians, Mongolians, Siberian Ukrainian, and many other ethnic minorities, within Russia. Do you know how many different ethnicities India or China has ![]() |
Polygamy this, Polygamy That, ah ah.....There is no where in the bible that says polygamy is a sin. On the contrary, It a popular practice among biblical figures. The notion that polygamy is somehow a sin, is influenced by European cultural practices. You'll be arrested in any western country for having more than one wife, yet polyamorous affairs between marriage couples is encouraged. Lets not even open the cans of worms about how "same-sex" marriage is now being rationalized in christainity as if it is written in biblical scriptures. Oh and btw, there's a transgender, Feminists, and LGBQ bibles currently in development. Apparently, the world is so civilized that the usage of masculine pronouns for God, and feminine and masculine genders in the bible is deemed offensive, as it undermines people struggle for "Equality". With all this happening, yet it is polygamy that's giving Nigerian xtains sleepless nights. Una never see anything ![]() |
WHO REALLY NEED FIXING? 1.The trader who removes 2 bowls of rice from the bag, repackages, and sells as a 'full' bag is complaining about the wickedness in Nigeria. 2.The lecturer who insists on sex for a young girl to pass is complaining about the rot in Nigeria. 3.The Pastor who pays his driver 15K in Lagos or Abuja while his son schools in the USA is complaining about the hopelessness in Nigeria. 4. The Mallam (Local Islamic school teachers) who send other people's children to go and beg in the name of Almajiri and bring the money to him on oath so that he will take care of his family while the Almajiri's are looking like slaves is complaining that Nigerian leaders don't know God. 5.The civil servant who comes to work once a week and shows up at the end of the month to receive full salary and kickbacks is complaining about politicians who do nothing. 6.The student who spends the whole weekend at the party after party only to start posting Instagram pictures on Monday is complaining that Nigeria is stealing his/her dreams. 7.The "VIP driver" who can't join a simple queue but keeps overlapping in and out of traffic to shunt is complaining about disorderliness in Nigeria. 8.Doctors in public and teaching hospitals on the government payroll who abandon patients on the floor but are thriving in their private hospitals are complaining that Nigeria is hopeless. 9. The officer who sees 'roger' as his/her birthright and keeps on complaining that our leaders are evil and therefore Nigeria is doomed. 10.Until we realize that the value of Nigeria today is the average of our values, we will keep fooling ourselves. Stop the blame game. |
The problem of Nigeria is hypocrisy, we the citizenry do not like to acknowledge that we are bigger part of the problem. Instead, we look for convenient scapegoats, blaming our leaders, the country etc. Given the opportunity, 99% of us playing the blame game would do exactly what we are criticizing our politicians for. A honest politician in Nigeria would most certainly first be criticized by his friends and family and even ridiculed if he completes his tenure and not steal to share piece of the "national pie" . Charity begins at home. We deserve the kind of leaders we get. |
MrBrownJay1:Ma broda, It depends on her looks oo. As an engineer myself, I can tell you that e no easy to find a pretty girl studying engineering. If you've been to an engineering class, you'll know what I mean. ![]() |
9jah:You think US gives a hoot about you guys abi? If I were u, I'll be more concerned with the Turkish Drone FG just ordered. |
XXXXTENTACION:There no routine to be "formally" accepted as a Muslim. Becoming a Muslim is not any Muslim's decision to make, but Allah's once you make the shahada. To become a Muslim you only need to declare the Shahada I.e" There's no God Worthy of Worship, except Allah. And prophet muhammad (PBUH) is his final messenger". You may also add, that Jesus (PBUH) the son of Mary, is not God or His son, but only a messenger of Allah. You can say this only to yourself and you are a Muslim. Saying it before a group of Muslims is not a must, as some people wrongfully believe. Though, it serves as a welcoming ceremony that offers its psychological benefits, it is not necessary. After Shahada, you'll need a Muslim to teach you how to perform a "cleansing bath", ablution and prayer etc. May Allah Guide you. Amin. |
Atleast he didnt borrow to pay workers salaries, like GEJ did. ![]() |

klonboi:Google or not, why not prove me wrong. Why shifting the goal post? What has Fulanis who "migrated" or Hausa got to do with the fact that you made a wrongful assertion? And those tribe claiming to have "migrated" from Israel nko? you children of hate are truly senseless. |
JaroMan:And President Buhari whom you love to hate nko? among many other positions he held, he was a one time governor of the whole northeastern region, and also a former president. Stop thinking with ur yansh...If holding previous Political office equates to smartness or competency, we won't be in the mess we are in. |
Better a polygamous society than a society filled with born bastards. While it is a crime for a man to marry another wife from the millions of women who cant get husband ( New York alone has atleast 10M more women than men), it is acceptable to beget bastards with them. And there's no limit to number of bastards you beget, the bastards and their single mothers, won't be the fathers responsibility, but that of tax payers, until adult hood. While you fancy such society, their way of life is not based on moral or economic factor as you insinuate, it's just an European culture influence. Unlike in China, western countries do not have limit to the number of bastards a woman or man could beget, infact the govt encourages it. If polygamy is a factor for poverty, then All countries where polygamy is practiced would be dirt poor. I think you are beating the wrong bush. Good leadership and corruption is our problem, not polygamy. |
FreedomfromtheT:Wonders shall never end. Anyways, If covid patients (in India) are claiming they were healed by Cow Dung and Urine, what else is there to say ![]()

klonboi:Reading ur statement, I can only pity our poor educational system. For centuries b4 now, Europeans have been at each other's necks fighting over lands and trying to conquer one another, hence it is naive to think European countries are separated along ethnic lines. Those wars result to forceful assimilation of smaller ethnic groups which adds to misconception . Africa may have more ethnic diversity than Europe, but there's hardly a country in the world that doesnt have ethnic diversity, just because they are associated with certain dominant language. For starters, let me give u a bit of homework for some European countries: FRANCE: Dominant language French Ethnic groups: Germans (1.4M), Corsicans (Napolean's tribe), Catalonians, Bretons, Flemish. gypsies, Basques Spain: Dominant language Spanish Ethnic groups: Catalonians, Basque, Galicians, Valencians, etc GERMANY: Dominant language German Ethnic groups: Poles, Dutch, Croats, Frisians, Gypsies etc BELGIUM: Belgian Ethnic groups: Dutch, German, French Italy: Italians Ethnic groups: Albanians, Romanians, Sicilians |
If someone like Jonathan could be president, why not Osibanjo?? |
FlipModeSquade:To IPOB sympathizers and cheerleaders, there is a Hausa proverb that says: "yaro bari murna, karen ka ya kama zaki" meaning: "oh boy (hunter), cease jubilating that your dog caught a lion". Interpretation: A boy from afar 'sees' his dog caught a lion and started celebrating, but as he got closer he found out that it was indeed his dog that was caught, and by then it was already too late to save himself from the lion. Lesson: one should hold off, use his senses to ascertain most probable outcomes, before celebrating. Indeed what we see unfolding in SE is an exact reminiscence of boko haram at its inception... They started as one organized group, wining 'heart and minds' of the general masses in NE using religion fanaticism to forment anti-govt sentiments , until they started loosing their foot soldiers who decided their leaders aint doing enough to accomplish their crazy ambitions. Foot soldiers who want to become bosses in their own rights went to form their own BH enclaves, rest is history. For at least a decade now, they have become the very nemesis of their former sympathizers. If God forbid, the Dejavu we are witnessing continues to play out, the whole south may not be able to accommodate number of fleeing masses from Igbolands. Considering strong anti-igbo sentiments sweeping the country (thanks to IPOB and their sympathizers), there's no choice but to flee to non-igbo communities and regions? God help us! |
FutureIsFemale:You feminazis are something else ![]() Who is the irresponsible soul? Is it the irresponsible man you go open your legs wide for to enter, or the yet unborn soul who never had a say of such immoral and unsensible behavior ![]() A law that stipulates one must face the consequences of their irresponsible action is not an unjust law. So the greater responsibility is on you to start doing the needful before opening that conji. |
naija1stnigar:I totally agree, but .... you really need to start practicing what you are preaching, biko nu. naija1stnigar: |
The Great Benin and Oyo Empires have rich cultural heritage thats unsurpassed by any tribe in the South. They have a thriving civilization before the white man stepped foot on the coast of west Africa, but same cant be said about Igbos. Though the use of cavalry in warfare is alien to your tribe, it is not to other tribes in the south. Benin and Oyo had cavalry army too, do they get that from the Arabs too
