The '20 pound' lies peddled by Igbos is a testament to their gullibility and victim mentality, its a known fact that Biafran army invaded Nigeria's banks spent her money on weapons and other nonsense they deem fit, collectted royalties from oil firms and so on.

Asked them if they ever paid back the money they stole before crying over 20 pounds handed to them.

I just pity the Yorubas that harbor these vermins, the day they rise up against you because of their hate for you draws nearer.

attackgat:
Awolowo was a coward, a failed Lawyer, a war criminal, an ex-convict and a clueless politician. We Igbos will forever remember him as the lily livered, northern a$$ licking traitor who sold his people down the River for a pot of porridge.


I read somewhere that in ancient times in England, dead traitors were sometimes dug up and executed a second time.............

You shitty opinions about Awolowo will not change the fact that he's revered by his people unlike your 'Dikeodiorama' that ran away to Ivory coast as a slayqueen, rejected by his people several times at the polls for his barefaced cowardice.

Iphone7SPlus:
Are you Ilaje?

My relatives are.

Iphone7SPlus:
They have this uniformist tendency.
I remember how one came as an inec poll officer during this just concluded Ondo guber election and was calling everyone militant and biafra because of the riverrine environment and other stuff.
Well sha, one luv.

One luv ke?
Bro, Your tales are simply incoherent. Lol
Let me not join issue with your insinuations.( I wan sleep)

Iphone7SPlus:
Obe Nla.
Do you know where that is?

That should be in ugbo kingdom(ilaje), what has Oyo Yoruba done to hurt you? Sede di ma fi oma ulaje we ha.

Iphone7SPlus:
Kini wahala e?
For your info, if Itsekiri won't join Oduduwa republic, consider us in Ondo South senatorial district out.
We are joining Niger Delta republic too.

It is like you Oyo people think being Yoruba is all about you.

Where are you from in ondo south senatorial district?

onuwaje:
there are two names i know that has that tag Jolomi

1. Oritsejolomisan (God has fixed me well)
2. Esijolomi ( i am on track )

The meaning is similar enough. Thanks

excanny:
Itshekiri stands out because there is an Ijebu/Ilaje, and subsequently Ife, claim of origin.

Igala has no such origin.

Bro, I meant they're proto-Yoruba/Igala or whatever label they now go by, the various tribes probably splited from a common source, for instancd the ugbo people(a Yoruba sub group of ondo state) have stories of origin that almost predates ile-ife/oduduwa claim, anyways let's agree to disagree.

onuwaje:
it is true they borrowed words from the Europeans.

the ones i know is
1. Kosini (Council)
2. Kemejé (Camissar)
3. Woske (Whiskey)
many others i have to ask my elder ones but i will get back to u on this surely

traditionally Itsekiri practice a religion called Ebura, Ogboni is also predominant amongst them. we also have Egbejugbelé.

The Itsekiris worship Umalokun (Sea God)

What's the meaning of jolomi in itshekiri? In ondo dialect its rough translated as amend.

excanny:
Nah, Igala has only Yoruba influence the way Itshekiri(an actual yoruba group) has Benin influence.

Igalas are not ethnically yoruba.

I ne'er claimed Igala or itsekiri people as Yoruba, what I meant was they're yoruboid.

The Yoruba, itshekiri, Igala and fon were not labelled by such labels in the past, in fact they were one.

Prior to colonization the Yoruba people regard themselves as separate tribes with a common origin(ife).

We've the ijebu,egba,ondo,awori,ikale,ekiti etc
(the same way we've okun people in kogi state)
now divided between or within by rough state/LG boundaries but now united as a powerful tribe similar to what we've under Oyo empire.

AreaFada2:
Chai! Waje, thanks for this thread.

I see Yoruba & Edoid languages (Benin/Urhobo/Isoko/Esan, etc) blended nicely.

Kokodia is an ancient Benin name for Coconut, a term only used by elderly people or babalawo now.

By the way Itsekiri closely resembles dialects spoken in some parts Ovia LGAs in Edo State: Usen, Egbeta, Ogbese, etc.

It's called kokojia(coconut) by the Yorubas of the ancient ondo city.

Some forms of old Yoruba are spoken in those town listed above.

Can you guys stop talking politics, let's celebrate our brothers from the other side of the divide, the itshekiri tribe has shown us the extent and influence of the Yoruba race,we even have Yorubas in benin, Togo and Ghana, are they lesser Yoruba if they are given other identity by the whites or other africans, even the Yoruba tag is an identity that separates us from a larger pool of homogeneous people.

Another tribe in Nigeria similar to Yoruba after itsekiri is Igala.

Fearlez:
Tonto Dikeh, I never knew she was of that region. Honestly, I think she should be an expert in failed marriages and a crusader of desperate women who race against time by paying their own bride prize!

Sunday Oliseh was appointed national coach and I'm not surprised. Ask him what his father's name Olise means in Igbo.

Elechi Amadi ? Do you mean the poet I read in secondary school who scripted great works like "The Concubine" depicting Igbo culture and practices? You can't be serious.

Are you of that region? If you're not, you're attempting to rebrand a people with the cheap reach of 21st century social media.

In 2014, the head of Ohaneze was from Delta North, Anioma. Where did Kaduna Nzeogwu hail from ?

You say the denial of igbo by southern igbos began before the civil war? Where did you get that information from ? Where you born before the war? Have you read "There Was A Country" by Achebe? Do you realise Nigeria's first President, Nnamdi Azikiwe an indigene of Onitsha in the East is Eze-chime from a clan in Anioma Delta state?

Why did the federal troop carry out the Asaba genocide? Today's aniocha north, oshimimi north local governments area had over 11 Colonels in the war.

If you're not from that region , don't speak for them.

Have you read elechi amadi's the quintessential giant?

And so?

There are thousands of Nigerian women hawking and selling, some even have more humiliating occupation to make ends meet, is Nigeria that bad that we celebrate people making honest living.

Amanapour should keep shut, is it Yorubas fault that we dominate the various sectors of the nation's commerce, art and entertainment, does she expect Quest to go to Alaba market to interview street hustlers, kano to meet the farmers, Onitsha to meet traders.

Lagos is the economic capital of nigeria and it's also a yoruba city, abandoning the movers and shakers of the various industries for triviality is bullshit.

Femi and kemi are a perfect example of a bastard, a child that brings shame and reproach to his father's household.

Undistilled trash tracks.

A lot of people will die of jealousy because of Lagos and SW.

Lagos is the largest and most populated city in Nigeria, and its normal for variety of numerous crime to occur in such high density environment, most of the crimes committed are reported in national dailies for the safety of its citizens, even crimes involving ritual killings happening in the south west region are reported in newspapers, we don't give criminal chieftaincy titles in Yoruba land.

Rivers state is known as the hotspots of political assassination hence the appellation 'rivers of blood'

Better change the headline into a title that will satiate your hatred for Yoruba people, while single Gbengba Aruleba out of all presenters, was the Igbo comedian the only person lynched in Ikorodu during mob violence, low self esteem is the cradle of your victim mentality and persecution complex.

Doctors are protesting in OSUN state over 22month salary arrears.....

Below is your brothers and sisters begging for just a plate of food....

We don't do statistics here....we believe what is on ground and what is visible....


SW almajiris

Yet Umahi is smacking his flat head against restructuring and secession because he realized poverty is gonna kill y'all when expelled to Biafra.

West earthquake and flood zone

Since geophysical and geological studies have discovered that a fault zone that connects with the Atlantic fracture system exists along Ifewara-Zungeru, hence, Nigeria, especially South-West is susceptible to earthquake occurrence

Bullcrap, yet your red cap donning uncles and their children are ready plunge into the quake cracks to make their living.
Get the FVCK out my sight.

This is a video of ebony state.....can you compare it with any SW state minus Lagos


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh96zkvO5xU

I don't give a rat ass about the shit happening in ebonyi or the erosion ravaged southeast, various infographics has shown the southeast to be the poverty enmeshed region in the south, whatever nonsense posted in your video can't change the fact.

FKO81:
Op I hope you are aware doctors are still protesting in Osun over 22 months salary Same state has been paying half salaries to workers for 26 months, why can't west high IGR on paper reflect to those dying in penury Five southwestern states received bailout funds twice to enable them pay the backlog of workers’ salary arrears.

The region dying in penury in the southern part of Nigeria is the southeast, this is according to the united nations poverty index.

Better hold your apku leaders responsible for the deep shit in which your region is drowning, the same southeast generated the lowest igr in the south.

According to your chart, the south east has the highest population density after the southwest, yet the southeast is the stiffest competitor with the terror ravaged north east as regarded the region with lowest igr in Nigeria.

The lack of mentally capable leaders in the southsouth part of the country is responsible for their low igr, even though it is low populated.

All in all I don't think your study shows that population density have anything to do with igr whether in Nigeria or abroad.

quid:
Is that why Lagos is 51% Igbo

Yes

That's why the political and traditional positions are firmly held by Yorubas (0.2%), it's a shame Yeebos are relegated species in Lagos where you've 51%.

Many of you Yeebos are brainless nonentity, even if the leader of the Yoruba forum made the declaration, was there any pact of friendship and camaraderie between Igbos and Yorubas, you don't like us, we don't like you, how's that difficult to assimilate.

Yorubas(Muslims and Christians) have no affection for you.

Anybody that believe this rubbish needs lots of lobotomies.

Uchihaitaci:
Hahahahhahahahaha
Obviously forcefully included by you

Kanu was clear in his last video only the south east states are biafra
So revel in the depression my brother it's free

But like I have stated it would be an honor to share a nation with the itsekiris that's if in future they ever indicated interest

Why does it pain you so that ibos like them ?

This I can't fathom
Did itsekiris offend you ?

How can Itsekiri offend me when they're yoruboid.

Revel in your misery kid.

Uchihaitaci:
Hahahahaha

You sound so bitter ...

Amusing

Bitter: To be rejected like a leper by all the minority ethnic groups forcefully included in the Biafra project.

fratermathy:
Do you see how they think?

When someone or a group of people denouce your cause; it behoves you who added them in the first place to argue on why they should follow that cause so that they may see reason to or at the very least, be indifferent to you or your cause. However, these guys churn our insults, tribalistic slurs, etc, just because you don't subscribe to their school of thought.

I bet you that the same guy (Uchihaitaci) insulting Urhobos (in an attempt to spark a tribal war -like the children that they are) will be the one to start praising Urhobos if the newswas in their favour.

Such a sad miserable way to live life!

Don't mind the pseudo-idiots, their tribal vitrols will drown them into bigger mire than the Kaduna declaration, some months before the said declaration a particular Yoruba nairalander 'Alcatraz' sounded a warning of discontent against the insults and curses on Yoruba people.

All I want is for this hateful souls to leave Yorubaland before they force our hands.
