Gajagojo:
It was well Documented by Mr Basden in the 1920s in unwisely publicised photographs of Igbos who were largely naked

It seems only masquerade been dey cover up those days.

Kukutenla:
That's a stupid question and irrelevant to this self-defacing thread

You can't be claiming champion of Africa and Africans while claiming to be Jews.

Choose one.

Kukutenla:
What nonsense are you saying?
Do you think if NYT sees igbos as Jews that headline will come out like that?

You're getting dafter per minute

Una no be lost and found Jews again?

Kukutenla:

You're getting dafter per minute

So there are people alive today that 60ys ago they went full naked.

Kukutenla:
You just keep bringing baseless screenshot. Abakaliki was a provincial hq not a province. Oya mention the provinces that were created along with it in 1959

The article strikes at the heart of fake Ibo revisionism on their nonexisting superiority and exposes the barbaric savage nature of original Alaigbo.

This is why you are angry.

Kukutenla:
It pains me because I'm ashamed to share same skin colour with bumbling idiots like you.
As at 1960, US was a deeply racist state. So that headline was obviously a racist headline and to see you fools masturbating over it in 2023 is beyond shameful. News items like this were used as propaganda to justify racial segregation that people like MLK fought against. So to see fools like you and Reno using it as instrument of bigotry is repulsive. Even Malcom X and MLK must be turning in their graves right now.
Darn foolish Africans!!

But you are not African nah.

No be sun burnt lost Jew you be?

Pathetic !

opamoses1:
He is trying to divert attention from the fact that Ibos were stark naked as reported by the article. Whether ogoja province, whether Abakaliki province, what matters is the fact that Abakaliki is in Alaibo and they are ibos.

I know their way.
He even attempted guilt tripping us to see the article as racist towards Africans in general despite the article specifying that other provinces and regions went about fully dressed.

Sense is far from them.

opamoses1:
Even dey it states clearly in the article. You are still arguing.

The article pain am wells

It exposes how backward they were as at 1960.

Reno really shut their mouths with that old New York Times dig from the past.

Kukutenla:
Go and read your link again. It claimed Abakaliki became a province then went about claiming it was a division.

Look here
The second is even from Ebonyi state govt website not some phony newspaper
https://www.ebonyistate.gov.ng/town.html
Here is also a list of provinces in Nigeria
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provinces_of_Nigeria

Why e dey pain you ?

Stop grasping at straws in the New York Times article .

Tell us why this piece of news from 1960 dey pain you so much so that you dey deny say Abakileke was never a province.

opamoses1:
Abakaliki province in Alaibo.

You dey mind that liar.

Kukutenla:
What's my business with new York Times. I'm sure if this is brought to their attention, they'll be ashamed of it until they see idiotic Africans like you and they'll be like "oh well.... we've given stupid Africans something to tear at each other with. Thank God it's Africans we wrote this trash about and not Indians. We'll be toast by now"

You should be ashamed of yourself

Can you tell us why this article dey pain you pass other Nigerians ?

E no pain me because I am not from Abakileke not from the old eastern region .

This article has the same effect on me as it will have on a Ghanian, Zambian or Kenyan.

But it pains you more because it hits right close to home.

So enough about whatever their headline captions was, why e dey pain you?

Can you honestly answer this because no one other than you is pained by this article from 1960.

Kukutenla:
Well, I'm not explaining. I'm giving you hard evidences. You're the nitwit who is explaining with no evidence

Lol.

E pain am.

As at 1960, majority of people in Abakileke Province in the then eastern Nigeria went about fully naked


Cry harder.

Kukutenla:
You're still showing your daftness sir.
Anyone passing by will see the headline as African Nudity not Abakaliki Nudity. Not only that, the body is painting it that Africans don't know what is good for themselves until told by a white man even on the eve of independence. If that's not racist enough for you I don't think your brain can be fixed.

And?

Their audience is the American public who can't for their own life know what or where is Abakileke Province .

If you insist on this line then you should ensure that all Indian, Malaysian , South African , Brazilian and Thailand Press also make the clear distinction in ethnicity of drug dealers arrested and not generalize them as Nigerians.

Kukutenla:
He's lying.
I already asked him to provide a link. I'm not an ignorant idiot like you to swallow white man's shite all because of bigotry.
Abakaliki was never a province. It was provincial headquarters.
See more links below even from Ebonyi state govt site

Lol.

You go explain tire.

Kukutenla:
But don't you see New York Times is lying or don't you think it is stupid of you to see a blatant lie and swallow it just because of bigotry.
Africans are becoming dumber with each generation

There are tonnes of archivial photos of vintage Alaigbo attesting to this nudist lifestyle.

And what is my busines if they used "African Nudity" as a headline to their story?

Their audience is Americans who don't know where Abakileke is.

But the article clearly stated that this nudist lifestyle was limited to Abakileke and not to other regions or provinces.

Drag New York Times on their X handle and stop trying to get us involved in your latest racial baiting trope

Kukutenla:
Oga shut up
There's nothing like Abakaliki province
Is it the sun or you're really this daft
New York Times is insulting the whole of Africa based on an imaginary province and you're defending them?
This is madness

You lie.

Another poster schooled you that Abakileke Province was later created from the Ogoja-Abakileke province following ethnic agitation .


Lol

Kukutenla:
This is a daft thing to say
The headline boldly reads African Nudity
Is it really hot over there

Yes it does and who are we to blame?

Is Abakileke not in Africa ?

When they arrest any of your fellow tribesmen abroad for drugs do they not label them as "Nigerian drug traffickers"?

Shift!

Kukutenla:
You are daft sir.

Let us assume for a moment that the story is true. Does Abakaliki represent the whole of Africa in anyway? Not to even mention the fact that Abakaliki was not a province but a division under Ogoja province.
So you see that when you lack understanding and knowledge, the white man will lie to you?

Fool, where in the article did they say the entire African continent went buttnaked ?

They said Abakileke Province natives refused to wear clothes and the authorities had passed laws mandated every native nudist to acquire and don clothes.

Your attempt at racist baiting has failed.

We will not buy into your useless racist baiting to dismiss the authoritative journalistic report of the editors at the New York Times.

Go pound sand.

Zhunnurayn:
Exactly. People don't want to open up their hearts to learn. It amazes me Christians defend Jews who don't even believe in Jesus.
They terrorized Jesus, prosecuted him and his disciples, and plotted to Kill him. Slandered against Mary. They ignorantly confuse Religion of European jews with the race of israelite mentioned in the bible. They don't know even jesus warned against the Jews, (in a parable about the gardener, or something like that)
As Muslims the Quran and prophet muhammad told us about how the Jews terrorized Jesus Christ, and they did same to prophet muhammad.

Jesus peace be upon him, is a holy prophet, a Messiah, a Breath of God, the immediate predecessor of Muhammad. Jesus prophesied about coming of Prophet Muhammad. Such is the revered status of jesus to us.

This Christians who worship Judas are not Christians.

Real Christians will not put Jewish worship above the teachings of Christ


They are not and will never be Christians.

The church has since been polluted by Jews .

Sharap.

The article made the distinction that in other regions ,people wore clothes but in Abakileke Province they refused to wear even a loin cloth.

And stop dragging the whole of Africa into your latest racist trope baiting.

The article is very specific and never generalised .

Kukutenla:
You mean this was Nigeria and Africa in 1960?
Clap for yourself
The stupidity looks good on you

The New York Times article did not generalize but specified Abakileke Province as a nudist paradise.

Stop dragging us into another racist trope .

We know the New York Times report was accurate at the time of publishing.

Validated:
Reno is already suffering from dementia. How is donning clothes in the 60s related to developing swampy Lagos?

How can a savage people who went about buttnaked develop the most developed capital in Black Africa outside South Africa ?

Reno is telling iwanyanwu to go and learn who his people were as at independence before claiming they developed Lagos with their unclothedness.

Kukutenla:
You are daft sir.

Let us assume for a moment that the story is true. Does Abakaliki represent the whole of Africa in anyway? Not to even mention the fact that Abakaliki was not a province

The New York Times piece clearly stated that in Abakileke Province which was located in the old eastern region, the colonial figures and local authority had placed an ultimatum that the natives most begin to put on clothes and not go stark naked on or before August 1st.

The article was specific about this nudist lifestyle being only in the then old eastern region and specifically mentioned Abakileke Province .

No where did the article say the whole of Nigeria or Africa rather the article even made the distinction that nudity was confined to the SE province of Abakileke.

opamoses1:
Actually. Reno spoke the truth. I had to filter with paint brush.

I created a thread here "Vintage pics from Alaigbo" and was accused of hate for posting the actual historic pics of Ibos who went about stark naked or barely clothed.

I was labelled anti Ibo for reminding them of their roots.

Zhunnurayn:
Good read
What are the roots of Roman Catholic domination In christianity? Why do they seem most compromised? Is there any Jewish influence on this denomination

The Jesuits seized control and ushered in Vatican 2.

The Catholic church is historically the most anti Jewish movement up till Vatican 2 and it's all traced to the Jesuits who are actually crypto Jews.

Just as the Freemasons corrupted the Protestant church so also did the Jesuits .

gawu1:
They were living like barbarians.
But they claim today that they were most civilized and developed everywhere.
Pride will not allow them to accept that they are at the bottom of the big Nigeria.

Slavery was still in effect up till the end of the civil war in 1970.

It continued with slight reforms after the civil war in the guise of the apprentice trade boy .


Everything those people say about themselves take it with a big bag of salt.

Zhunnurayn:
As a Muslim myself let me answer you, since you quoted the Quran.

Children of israel (Jacob) as mentioned in Quran were the ancient and original descendants of abraham through Isaac. These are a race and should not be confused with religion of judaism. The occupants of israel today are Europeans from austria, poland, ukraine and Germany who followed judaism. They have no connection with the children of israel mentioned here in the Quran. If those children of israel have any descendants today are the palestinians. You may ask, how come they are Muslims? Because when salaudin conquered the land, he asked them to leave, or pay tax or embrace Islam.


Tell a Israeli to show you his grave of his second grandfather, and he will take you to poland, or Austria or hungary.. tell a palestinian to show you up to his 10th grandfather grave and he will show you within that land..

Tell a palestinian to show you his generational monuments, and properties, he will do it
Tell an Israeli same, and he will tell you he lost them in the holocaust to Hitler or in the night of the broken Glass

DomPerignon i stand to be corrected

My brother, you are 💯 correct.

But don't waste your time educating those vile savage heathens who hate both Christ and Islam.

Kukutenla:
Reno is a fool
This kind of racist headline in racist USA should make any African cringe but this compound idiot is using it to chase clout.
Just look at the headline: African Nudity banned. And the first name on the body of the news is an European who is giving an order to Abakaliki residents to wear clothes. In order words, he's telling Africans what is good for them that they don't know.
Does he realise that US was still a deeply racist society in the 50s and that news might have been an outright lie or a misrepresentation?
I'm ashamed of Reno on this one

Shut up.

The fact remains that as late as 1960, people of SE were going about full buttnaked.

As for the New York Times , it has been the oldest liberal rag sheet and is owned by Jews.


If this was the Alabama Herald ,I would have said it must have been a racist trope article but this is the Jew York Times.

Always the victim

Its never their fault but others - constant victimhood

Makes everything about them.

Overly emotional.

Refuses to hold themselves to the standards they demand from others.

Constantly dragging irrelevant shit up from the past laced in a heavy dose of half truths to perpetuate their victimhood further while hiding their own ignoble faults and selfish evil agenda.

Has never built a civilisation nor a culture worth celebrating and emulating hence why Zionism and Jewish materialism holds sway amongst them. Those with proud cultures and heritages are mocked by them as "old fashioned and primitive" but deep down they are jealous of their betters.

Thinks deception and mind games are logic and reasoning even though their hubris and lies never go beyond their own circles , thereby proving that propaganda strikes those who deploy it more than the intended audience. Now they have a misguided population of young people who think they are victims and at the same time special chosen people .

Has an overinflated sense of self worth despite being more of a nuisance and a burden to the polity .

RedboneSmith:
You have to be a mouth breather to believe a word of this post.

See goal post changing.

Your fellow Ibo created this topic glorifying Azikiwe Snr as the architect of one Nigeria and you are here attacking me.

Your lies always catch-up with you people.

2elliot:
Dirty Yoruba pig

Lol.

Check mate !

Now run along and go contradict your hubris self.

And they will be insulting Lugard over 1914 almagation but here are the fools praising the house negro who happens to be Ibo as a hero.

How can you condemn Lugard and 1914 but still go on to praise Obed-Edom Azikiwe?
