RomanceWhy Women Must Stay Away From Scorpio Men by diamond68(op): 11:09pm On Jan 20, 2025
They are narcissistic men with ruling class mentality meaning very bossy and demanding and they take delight in putting pain on you if you try them. A Scorpio man will take delight in inflicting pain on you if you try him. It's just not someone I would ask my daughter to marry unless he has some complementing factors. But then again some women love challenges and dangerous living and a Scorpio man would definitely be all that

Sounds like Gnostic doctrine. The Gnostics believe God is actually the devil and that he trapped humans in the flesh. The real God is the Father of Light.
God is the light, I agree but the light and darkness project the information in them and express themselves in humans and a human subject to the darkness is in hell but if you can align with the light then you break out of hell and so you don't necessarily have to be in hell when encased in a flesh. You have to jailbreak yourself out of hell and into the light . The flesh can be your ally and not your prison

Absolutely well said. The original folks who constitute the Ikwerres claim NOT to be Igbos, but it's a historical fact that during the slave trade, some Aros and their allies settled among the Ikwerres and Ijaws to facilitate that insidious trade in human slaves who the Aros brought from the interior Igbo areas. The folks who descend from the Aros know themselves but are in the minority. The Ogbakor Ikwerre Worldwide which was founded in 1963 (before the 2 years and 6 months Nigerian Civil War of July 1967 to January 1970) have since 1963 emphasized that they are distinct from the interior Igbos and also affirmed in the January 9 2025 Press Release video right BELOW that they NOT Igbos but of the Ikwerre ethnic nationality which is known to the Nigerian constitution.

January 10 2025

Did you know that Alex Otti, the current Abia State Governor is also of Aro descent whose ancestor migrated from Arochukwu in Abia State and settled in the Aba region in the 1800s? He actually said this himself in an interview he granted to Punch newspaper in the 2010s when he wanted to contest under a different political party. He went on to say that their was some resistance to his becoming a Governor then because he was of Aro descent. He further claimed that the Aros and Ibibio migrants of centuries back in the Aba axis constituted about 10% of the population while the Ngwas who migrated from Mbaise in Imo State were in the majority in the Ngwa/Aba area.

I remember that interview because of my gravitation towards advanced world history for decades now and I have a fascination with how the Aros evolved (from the original Ibibio settlement of 400 years ago) and went about organizing small colonies in areas outside their enclave while engaging in the notorious slave trade of majorly Igbos of the interior and more.
interesting stuff Chief. Very fascinating. What has been hidden in darkness surely is coming to light because of brilliant researchers like yourself, respect to you my kind Sir 🙌

Just for further emphasis and clarity.

The vast majority of returnees from Brazil and Cuba to Lagos Island (Eko Island) from the mid-1800s were Yoruba people from the Bahia region in Brazil, then from Cuba, some Yorubas stayed back to take advantage of opportunities in business and other trades while others returned from Matanzas Province and Havana (Habana).

Many of them (such as the FIRST ever Nigerian Pounds Sterling millionaire, Candido Darocha were of Ijesa ancestry through his father who was taken as a war captive and got shipped on a Portuguese slave schooner to Bahia in Brazil in the early 1800s) were highly skilled people who had a high standard of living leading to them being very wealthy through international businesses exporting and importing commodities with ships between Lagos Island and South America before 1900!


Now, to the Ikwerre issue, the Ikwerre folks that I've known since the 1990s right from back in Port Harcourt ALL told me emphatically that they are NOT Igbos. I did ask them about why SOME similarities exist in their names and the interior Igbos and it turns out that a cultural ion took place. This isn't strange because acculturations occur a lot at border areas where different cultures and ethnicities converge. The ONLY recognized Ikwerre organization since 1963, "Ogbakor Ikwerre Worldwide" ALSO rejected the Igbos tag and affirmed just this January that they are of Ikwerre ethnic nationality.

Right in Kogi and Northern Edo States for instance, there are Ebiras and in parts of Akoko Edo (who are ALSO ancestrally related to the Ebiras of Kogi State) that are NOT Yorubas, BUT they understand Yoruba language in addition to their indigenous languages and some bear Yoruba names. There are Ebira communities (that share direct boundaries with the Okun-Yorubas of Kogi State) who speak and bear Yoruba names due to intermarriage and acculturations. You will NEVER find the rest of cite Yorubas of Kogi, Kwara and the West of Nigeria forcing themselves rudely on the Ebiras people despite some shared similarities!

It's this FACT of historical acculturation that some of these ignorant younger Igbos don't get. Even the different Igbo subgroups in the core 5 Igbo-speaking states of today historically underwent acculturation and borrowed some cultural practices in the area of loan words, food, dressing, religion, etc, from their neighbors from different ethnic groups along the border areas. The Red CHIEFTAINCY cap in NOT indigenous to the Igbos BUT was originally brought into the Nsukka area of Northern Enugu State within the last 500 years from where it spread to other parts of Igboland that NEVER had contact with Igalas. Igbo culture is also NOT monolithic but varies from one community to another. I've seen viral YouTube videos of some irresponsible young Igbo members of ipob threatening to wipe out or deport Ikwerres to Benin and take Ikwerreland for the Igbos which is highly irresponsible and further portrays Igbos as the aggressors who do NOT respect people's wishes. Similar video threats have been made by these irresponsible ipob boys guys to capture Ijaw and Edo State areas and include them in Igboland and they mean it! These acts of ipob Igbo aggression have led to Ijaws, Bini-Edos and Esan-Edo firing back (in recent videos I've seen threatening to deal with Igbos from henceforth).

The REAL FACTS that I've gleaned from the Ikwerres is that the Few among them who are claiming to be of Igbo origin are of Aro (Arochukwu) descent who settled in their midst in the 1700s to 1800s during the slave trade. It turns out that the Aros settled in many interior Igbo communities and other areas such as Bonny Island in Ijawland from where they organized the notorious slave trade (where many interior tribes now referred to as collectively as Igbos) were captured and brought to the Atlantic coast for sale to the White men who bought the enslave people while the Ijaws made money by acting as the middlemen in the trade based off of what the Aros brought to them. The Trans-Atlantic slave ship records and other advanced archival documents that I've read since the 1980s show that 80% of the "Eboes" Igbos shipped out of Bonny Island were females. Jaja of Opobo himself was sold as a slave from the Igbo interior in the 1800s (he was from Ama igbo in Imo State) and was brought to Bonny Island where he was acquired by his Ijaw master and made to undergo an Ijaw initiation rites to become Ijawnized after he became a free man. However, an internal political war in Bonny led to Jaja (and others of different pure Ijaw and Ibo slave ethnic origins) to flee to Ibibioland (Ikot Abasi) in 1870 where he and his fleeing team were given a space in Ikot Abasi (Opobo). As a matter of fact, the advanced history books state that Jaja would have been killed, but his British trader friends that he knew from Bonny save him by repelling the better armed political rivals from Bonny Island who chased Jaja and his team to where they fled to.

The Aros actually worked in partnership with their allies from Ohafia and Abam (all in today's Abia State) to raid for many captives in the Igbo interior who were sold as slaves in Bonny, and other slave ports of the Ibibio and Efiks. This is the reason why Asari Dokubo who identifies as an Ijaw today emphasized in some of his videos that his direct male ancestor Ediabali an Abam man who was part of an Aro team (or contingent) from Obosi that got retained by the Ijaw ruler who needed his services in the Palace.
it’s great history and information Chief. Great info. It’s appreciated. Always good to read historical facts. And so there is no reason for wike to be trying to deny his heritage. The Ikwerre tag obviously is a coalescing of different peoples. The man knows what he is and if he says he is not Igbo then he is not 🤷🏽‍♂️

Yet another braggat.

The question I asked is so simple that even a primary school student can easily answer it.

No one cares if you earn 100m a month. Just list Nigerian owned companies that pay their staffs 1m above. Simple as ABC. Una go de brag up and down.

Have you ever worked in the cooperate world before? To even see 500k there and collect sef na war. And you're here saying you know over 50 people earning over 1m.

Even for foreign companies, if you remove oil companies how many foreign companies can you point that pays up to 1m? Microsoft that even hit the 1m mark has left the country. How many are left. Huge companies like Twitter and Facebook don't have physical offices in Nigeria. So what are you saying?

If you can't name the companies, don't quote me.
guinness and etisalat Dey pay oooo. I being know guys wey dey pull 6 million per month
