yemmybx: These Biafran Soldiers are looking, haggard, hungry, tired and clueless.
The above post showed you are intellectually anemic. The Nigerians who crossed sword with the gentlemen showed in the post you responded who did not loot the Nigeria's treasury like Obasanjo, Buhari and rest of them died drooling.
I guess the plot is thickening day by day. Up Republic of Igbo land and/or reconfigured Republic of Biafra. There will be a time when suddenly the arrester becomes the arrestee.
lygn19: As a result of the out roar in the social media over the recent happenings in Akure, Ondo state, caused by the Eze Ndigbo of Akure flogging, me being a part of the team that criticised the Obas actions have come to apologise to the Oba and the Yorubas over the action of the Eze of Akure. After doing some indepth research and reading some articles I found out that the story had been exaggerated and blown out of proportion that the Eze was at fault. A King passed a law in his domain stating that the Eze of Akure had been removed, instead of the Eze to humbly beg that the law be reversed in the most quiet and diplomatic manner available, the Eze organised a protest questioning his removal, to me that was utter show of disrespect and I support the Oba for his action. Note; (1) this is the same treatment that a fellow yoruba would have undergone if he or she had behaved in such manner not that the Oba was witch hunting anybody. (2) if this kind of behavior was displayed in the north or in a place like Bayelsa or some Niger delta areas by now not only would the Eze be beaten the youths would attack and start looting igbo shops around. (3) kudos to the yorubas for handling this matter is the most matured way possible, truly u guys are accommodating. * I cant understand yoruba but below is the protest video, watch if u can, its a proof that the protest really took place*
When did the Obaship replace the local government or state government or federal government authority in Nigeria? Why are the Yari.ba peeps so dramatic? Deji of Akure is nobody in term of authority in Nigeria. Anybody who has iota of brain cell should even realize that Ndiigbo do not have anything remotely such as Eze of Akure.
kingsolex: I am proudly omo odua from osun but I am presently living in the north, An average Igbo being is arrogant, full of empty pride and ego but as a psychologist I understand and live with them but respond with fire when they cross my red line. to be honest the eze ndi-igbo messed up in akure incidence instead of him to respect the oba and lay low for a while and pull strings while at it, he decided to turn the deji of akure's levity to stupidity and the youths decided to protect their culture/heritage their tradition but instead of e-igbo warriors to correct their brothers they seem to have deliberately, blindly toed the eze's path. The fact that you spit on a Yoruba man 7 times and he did not react does not mean he is weak, we are peace loving people but I can promise you one thing fear is not in our dictionary but my Igbo brothers will see every calm reaction as trait of weakness that's a wrong notion. secondly the Igbo community pounced so hard on oba akiolu during the last election I keenly followed and even apologised on behalf of the oba, its not cause we are weak it cause we are peaceful in nature need I remind you no Yoruba man living and working in Onitsha will insult the obi of Onitsha and go scot free but you Igbos have such leverage why try to use it against us in Yoruba land?? now the akure youths having observed you people are rude kids that needs to be flogged to their right senses you Igbos now play victims, please to avoid another flogging... respect the Yoruba culture, obas and laws then you will have nothing to worry about, cause now the igbos are painting a bad picture of them on Yoruba minds. don't let other Yoruba's react ohh. just an advice. God bless Nigeria.
Only a fool will fight his/her visitors. You and all Yari.ba seemed to fall into the category of cowards fight their visitors. I plead the dumbass Deji of Akure to step out of his village in Akure municipality and venture nonsense.
JigsawKillah: you blame everything on Buhari. . . ranging from your failure in life to the failures of your fathers! fool!!!
From the above, one can get the whiff of your foolery from afar. The day you had a dream of present situation, your day will be made. I never needed the zoo called Nigeria for anything in life. I had a better qualification than Mohammadu Buhari during the process of my intake into NDA.
Even youth level soccer where Nigeria used to show spark of intelligence is dead. It is very shameful thing to see that Nigeria could not field good and intelligent footballers at this stage level. Anyway, what else could be expected from a country that just elected a dumbass junk as president. This team may not make it out of the group level. The boys cannot even pass the ball correctly. What a waste of time.
SirShymexx: Lmao!! Interesting and insightful celestial message you have got there, big bredrin.
There's no one out there with a better prognosis of Igbo mentality/problem than the great Dr. Ozodi Osuji. He's an Igbo with tons of qualifications in human behavioural pattern and he understands his people better than everyone else. Even the late Achebe said, "Igbos are noisy exhibitionists with disregard for humility and quietness" (paraphrasing here).
Anyway, I'd wager that the Ashkenazi Jews are more of the Trojan horse in the middle east than Arabs, since Arabs are more semitic than them and the whole of MENA is more of an Arab enclave. The Jews just came in to foment trouble like their lost Jewish brothers are doing Nigeria. And since a Jewish state was created in that axis - peace has eluded the whole place. I might be wrong though.
However, the rest sounds interesting...and the picture you painted makes Mona Lisa look like fake art.
Per the bolded, the dumbass claimed to be Igbo. He is fathered by a Yari.ba dude named Taiwo. You can draw inference from the dude's mannerism that apple does not fall far from the tree.
SirShymexx: What are you doing at an Indian restaurant when there's a loner searching-for-your-love on here, while stalking me everywhere? You wanna Lamar Odom that nyggah like you're the Yoruba Khloe Kardashian, no?
I honestly dunno if there's an Fela thing going on. I'll have to check.
I simply cannot believe you asked IlekeHD what she is doing at Indian restaurant. Have you heard about intrigues that surround Taxi?

No shaking for Ndiigbo. The so-called Deji of Akure is not a noted authority in Akure. Any form of authority in Akure rests with LGA chairman housing Akure.
osemwengie1: SOME WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THEIR REAL ORIGIN. BUT JUST DO YOUR THOROUGH RESEARCH YOU WILL COME TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF THIS HISTORY YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ.
Who are the Edo people?
EDO, is what you can describe as the "generic name given to a group of people who have a common ancestor and have a common language, with some different variants, depending on the distance between the group and the " tap root, " resident in and around the present day Benin City. In short, the land, the political state, the people, tribe, language and the principal city -Benin City is called EDO. At a point in the history of these people, another name called BENIN came into use. These Edo-speaking people are divided into the following clans today:
a) " BINI " derived from the word Benin for people living in and around Benin City, in Edo State. People living in and around Benin City, are gradually accepting the word BINI, as descriptive of their clan. Otherwise, they prefer to be simply called EDO.
b) ESAN/Ishan-for the immediate neighbor to the north are people living in around Irrua, Orhodua, Uromi, Ubiaja, Ewu, Ewatto, Igueben and the almighty Evbohimwin (Ewohimi))" the city by the big river " or " the city of Ikhimwin trees " etc.
c) The Afemais known as IVBIOSAKON by those living in and around Benin City to the north of Ishan/Esan clan.
d) Akoko-Edos based in Igarra, Ibillo and its environs to the north of Afemais.
e) The Owans-ORAS occupying Eme, Sabogida-Ora, Afuze, etc. Uhobe (SOBE) and Ifon in Ondo State.
f) Ekas-to East of Benin. A sizeable chunk of the Edo speaking people flow across River Niger and ending at ONITSHA.
g) Isoko, Urhobo, Itsekiris and about 70% percent of western Izon (Ijaws) in Ndegeni and its environs
h) A sizeable chunk of the Edos is found in River States and Balyesa States e.g. Ogba land and Diobu, Port Harcourt.
i) A sizeable chunk has been " Yorubanised in Ondo, Ekiti, Lagos and Ogun States. The descendants of Edo soldiers stationed in Akure are referred to today as ADO-AKURE (Edo ne ’kue) There are many Edos in Ekiti land, Idoani, Idanre etc going through life in Nigeria with Yoruba names. Acculturation has taken place. You are either a Yoruba man or you go nowhere.
j) The ILAJE community at OKITIPUPA and its environs.
k) The Edos who conquered and settled far way land like Dahomey, Togo and Ghana.
The Edo language is part of the Kwa-Niger group of languages according to Linguist. These people have lived were they are now for " Thousands of years." The monarchy centered in Benin City is about 6000 years old, including pre-ogiso and Ogiso era of history. All the clans had various functions, which they perform at the palace. For example, the Ishans/Esans were principally the medicine men and warriors of the ancient empire. They were the medical practitioners. The chieftancy groups responsible for the Oba's well being are dominated by Ishan/Esan descendants. The Ivbiosakon (Afemais) were the dental surgeon of the palace. That is the origin of the name IVBIOSAKON. Oba Esigie assigned that function to them in the c1500's.
The Owan/Ora people were the propitiators of the physical earth for the Oba of Benin. It was their responsibility to prevent things like earthquake, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes and anything associated with geological disturbance to occur in Benin. In short, they were the geologists and weathermen of their day, forecasting and preventing physical calamities. Those we call BINIS today, were the traditional bureaucratic administrators and military generals. The Izons (Ijaws) were the " OZIGUE" -SAILORS The Ekas were farmers. They were in charge of the royal farms.
The Ibos across the Niger call the Edos, IDU, the name of the progenitor of Edo race, the Yorubas call us ADO, which is a corruption of the word EDO. However, the Itsekiris, another sub group in the Edo clans call us UBINI. Tradition asserts that it is derived from ILE-IBINU, which is descriptive of the exasperation and frustration encountered in Benin City, by Prince Oranmiyan of ILE-IFE. A further research may prove that, it was the Itsekiris who gave that name, to the people living in and around Benin City. The Itsekiris told the white man of the powerful overlord living in Igodomigodo. It was the Itsekiris who told the Whiteman that the name of the tribe of this powerful king was UBINI- a term which Whiteman corruptly wrote down as Benin. For example, the name of the eldest daughter of Oba Osewende, the mother of the OSULAS and the AIWERIOGHENES is today known as AGHAYUBINI. A closer examination of that name would reveal that the name is an Itsekhiri phrase-" The Ubini Lady or woman " i.e. the woman from Benin. Aghayubini was a very wealthy trader among the Itsekiris, from whence she got the money she used, is getting the throne for her brother, who became Oba ADOLO. An Itsekhiri descriptive phrase has simply over powered her original Edo name, to the extent that nobody knows anything about it now.
The ancient Edo/Benin Empire covered the whole of Bendel, parts of Bayelsa State and I repeat Balyesa State. The second son of the Enogie of Brass, popularly known as IYASE NE OHENMWEN became the Iyase of Benin under Oba Osewende. Iyase Ohenmwen is the ancestor of the OTOKITIS, THE OKEAYA-INNEH AND THE AIWERIOGHENES of Benin today. It also covers the IGBO-speaking areas of Delta State stretching to Onitsha. People hardly know that the actual title of the Obi of Onitsha is AIGBOGHIDI. The historical Chief Agho Obaseki of Oba Ovoranmwen era and later the Iyase of Benin under Oba Eweka II, was a descendant of the second son of Enogie of NSUKWA now in Delta State. It extended to the whole of Ondo State, parts of Ekiti and Ogun State and the whole of Lagos State including BADAGRY. It stretched to southern Dahomey (Republic of Benin) and on to the coast of Togo and Ghana.
THE OWANS /ORAS:
Oba Ozolua is traditionally regarded as the ancestor of the Owans/Ora. He was known as Prince Okpame before he became known as Oba Ozolua. He had sought refuge in Uwokha in Ivbiosakon areas in c1473. From Uwokha, Oba Ozolua founded Ora and other villages. Oba Ozolua was a warlord. He beat the people of Uzea near Uromi to a pulp when there was a revolt. He extended his carnage to Uromi when the Enogie was reported to have been rude to his messengers. He went up through Akoko land, wandering into Nupe lands where he acquired a lot of sophisticated weaponry then. He attacked the Igallas and Igbirras in the present Kogi and Kwarra states. After spending the greater part of his life in ORA, he left behind his son UGUAN and returned to Benin City.
But before he left, he proclaimed everybody free men and free women, entitled to enjoy the privileges of Edo princes and Princesses, for all the services they had rendered in his military campaigns. That is why the Oras call themselves today, the CHILDREN OF OZOLUA. Besides being in charge of propitiating the physical earth, they are responsible for ritually exorcising any harm that might come upon the EDO NATION-the land due to violation of sexual or other taboos. Their GUILD, quartered at EVBORHAN quarter in OGBELAKA in Benin City by Oba Esigie, demands steep fines from the culprits for their services.
A few years ago, the Oba of Benin created an Ogie-Duke-traditional rulership for the Oras because of popular demand.
Per the bolded, there is nothing Bini or Idu real or imagine after Eshan. Anything Bini or Idu did not reach Igbanke talk less crossing the boundary.
HopeAtHand: See me see case..this is a whole new dimension to arguments..
Bring proofs that Ogbakiri originated from Ijaw.i'd seriously love to learn something new.
I wonder what stopped the jackasses from transforming Ogbakiri to Ogbachree as they did to Amakiri to Amachree. Some folks in the zoo called Nigeria are really phony.
stebell: OP, I can bet ma 1cent that yu and ur kins are not from Rivers so jus shut ur mouth cos yu know nothing. And for ur info, Okrika peeps dont answer Timi. for sure it's an Ijaw name but not all Ijaw names are given to peeps in Rivers. Jus asking, why cant yu answer ur fathers name instead of ur mum. Are yu a b...............??
You are so moronic that Umusia Afam, Oyigbo LGA appears Bayelsa State or Cross River State to you. What a dumbass fool.
1. In 1966 when it became clear that the amalgamation was a ruse, the Igbos at the helm of affairs pointed it out and wanted a split.
2. The Yoruba, initially accepted to pull out also from the alliance whereby the north was causing every other region retardation.
3. But, the Youruba hatched a different plot and made a volte-face and united with the north. Aim -to crush the Igbos. Reason -competition and envy as I explain below:
4. It is on record that the white man (civilisation) came through Lagos colony which existed before 1900 and was, in 1906 merged with remaining southern territories under the British, and the territory was officially renamed the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. In 1914, the Southern Nigeria was joined with Northern Nigeria Protectorate to form the single colony of Nigeria. But as time progressed, under pure, clean and fair competition, the Igbos had shot ahead of the Yorubas and all other tribes in Nigeria to be leading in the military, trade and commerce, civil service, transport and real estate. Igbos were the most educated and most widely travelled, existing in all parts of the country at the door steps of Nigerian independence in 1960. This is a long established fact.
5. The reason the Yoruba betrayed the cause and joined the Hausa/Fulani to crush Igbo in 1966, was a way, in their mind, to crush the competition and their envy of the tribe of Igbo.
6. And they succeeded...... The Igbos best brains and youths were mercilessly and brutally crushed in the 30month Biafran war. While the Hausa/Fulani led the brutal edge of the onslaught and genocide, their Yoruba allies provided the brain, the policies and tactical support for complete subjugation of Igbos. These include horrid programmes like economic blockade that led to hunger and malnutrition, the popular 20pounds and the abandoned property policy. Many children, that should have been the brains of today, wasted under hunger and kwashioko. The surviving Igbo males were made to be grateful for not being completely annihilated as proposed actually, and started life all over again with only 20pounds a head.
7. But it was only temporary.....
8. The Igbos defied all odds, all ill-treatments and the age-long marginalisation and survived the conspiracy.
9. It remains a wonder to the Yoruba, that the Igbos they thought they had finished off forever, is now competing with them on equal level in Lagos of all places. The Igbos have even found themselves to be leading with a great margin in some areas like real estate investments (Abuja as a case in point). In politics, education, commerce, transport, etc. the Igbos are more alive today than ever.
10. The Yorubas who thought and expected the Igbos to give up in 1970 and become their house servants and slaves have now become even more bitter.
11. Above is the reason for the ferocious attack on the new rising wave of Biafran agitation. Guess who attacks is the most -Yorubas. They won't attach Niger Delta struggle, they won't ever comment on the killings in the middle belt. They are obsessed with Biafra and IPOB.
12. Many of them (Yorubas) actually know that their alliance with Hausa/Fulani is not working. Today, Nigeria is stagnant as a result. But they are divided. Many are practically ashamed to admit it. Many are very bitter that the Igbos survived. But a few are beginning to wake up to stark reality -IT IS NOT WORKING!!!!!!!
13. In the 2015 election, instead of a united south to face and debunk the born-to-rule and the new i-must-rule-or baboon-and monkey-will-be soaked-with-their-blood, the Yoruba once again broke ranks and united with Hausa/Fulani. The very aim of it was to get at Igbos and the South-South brothers who, for the first time, was beginin to regain their voice and identity.
14, But this time, it is different.
15. The cabinet being cleared has clearly shown that the Igbos are more than a blowing wind. Just see the harvest of the best of Igbos. It is now being touted in the media that Igbo Okechukwu Enelama from Abia State will head Finance.
16. Yorubas, please ponder the current situation. Igbos (Biafrans) are not angry with you. They simply want you to wisen up. Come back home, we are Southerners. Leave the North. Or, just leave us ans stay with them, abeg!!!!!!!
Bros I say more grease to your elbows. Please keep it wide open. The Yari.ba are naturally deceitful and cunningly manipulative bunch. However they have struck a sand with Ndiigbo. It is said that unease rests the fool that drew the first blood. Ndiigbo must not forget.
Beremx: Dede what is your problem? Do you have to insult me to make your point. Don't ever quote again me if you have to resort to insults.
B, how body? I guess you remembered when I warned everybody about this fraudster called Rochas Okorocha. However one of the people who stood out and vocally defended Rochas Okorocha was you, honey. I shall never wish Rochas Okorocha to my enemy.
lygn19: this Ogoni people should make use of what they have to the maximum, good things like dx dont last long. Ogoni land houses one of Nigerias ports; Onne port. Eleme in Ogoni is a place made up of over 200companies, big companies minus the ones which produce stuffs like purewater and d rest, they are blessed with sufficient oil and gas, also every family in Eleme has I think an employment slot in the various companies. now the govt wants to pay them cash like this, plus other payments companies use in settling community and the rest. Ogoni is blessed.
Ogoni land does not need this insult from the dumbasses from northern and western regions of Nigeria. Ogoni land needs transformation equal in magnitude to Lagos and Abuja. If the Lagos and Abuja are man-made, why not Bori?
tpiander: it worked in Lagos, but can it work in other states?
your views.
Yari.ba are always deceitful in nature. If you are not interested in "One Nigeria", please say so and stop hiding behind native vernacular to conjure idiocy. The so-called official language in Nigeria is English Language.
PrinceBundu: As i was walk by on my cyberlegs,i came across biafra rising sun on ogoni coat of arms with our yellow sun and eleven rays, please ogoni people are u theives?, cant u make ur own design since u want an independent state of ogoniland,is biafra sun so attractive that even republic of benin stole it. Infact director must hear this
First pic was the flag of benin shortly after biafra was declared but later changed
Second pic is the biafra flag
Third is ogoni coat of arm
Ogoni land was integral part of eastern region of Nigeria. Besides, prominent Ogoni sons and daughters stood up and be counted as Biafrans. One was even a Biafran ambassador (representative) in London.
Beremx: Lemme comment first before the usual spammers of my mentions invade this thread.
So Rochas hasn't paid workers yet? The fraudster gives me more reason to dislike his administration.
You have been fooled for long time and cannot be socially resuscitated. Fools fall harder. Since 2011 I had informed that Mallam Rochas Okorocha use to owe "run girls" and elope without settling bills. He does not know how to settle bills. He specializes in the act of "obtain without pay".
