Rilwon:Wow. Respect. People who aren't afraid to show their real traditional dress. |
Say the truth, most of you guys wish you had her physique. |
Enjoy while your country is on fire. |
abagoro:Yeah, some of them have been used before. Useless "reporting" as usual. |
EdCure:That's for white people. |
otiigba1:Igbo is not disunited, if you doubt me then tell me of any prominent war among Igbo people. |
Hard to argue. |
Yeah, whatever, but worrafock is Phillip wearing here: https://360nobs.cdn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Victoria-Gowon.jpg |
What can you really say to Igbo people? |
The idea of African unity is fabricated and sentimental nonsense.

[size=14pt]Afikpo Expedition, 1902-1903[/size] In Southern Nigeria the Afikpo country is open and undulating. During the expedition (1902-3) against these people, the force advanced some distance in square formation with the carriers in the centre. The bulk of the advanced guard and scouts were extended at one pace interval equally on each side of the main road, which was slightly raised above the surrounding plantations. A 75-millimetre gun was on the road, and at the front angles of the square were maxims. The carriers closed up and marched in a compact body in the centre with a front of thirty to forty yards. The carrier guards and rear guard protected the flanks and rear. Intact bodies of troops were held in readiness in the centre to reinforce any face requiring assistance. As the country was open and the enemy only possessed dane guns, and were not in the habit of charging with swords and spears, they were harmless if kept at a distance of two hundred yards from any face. Thousands of them hovered round the square and watched it from the tops of small hills as a deliberate advance was made against the chief stronghold of the country.More on page 50 and 51: http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2012/dn-nd/D2-230-2008-eng.pdf |

[size=14pt]The Ibeku-Olokoro Expedition 1902 — Fight outside the town of Onor[/size] The force consisted of one 75-millimetre gun, 2 maxims, 12 Europeans, 226 rank and file, and 232 carriers. The 226 men were composed of nine sections taken from various garrisons in the Aro country. The advanced guard, commanded by Captain Grayson, R.A.,79 which was the fighting portion of this small force, consisted of scouts, 3 ½ sections infantry, one 75-millimetre gun, and 1 maxim, or about 90 men. The scouts were under Lieutenant Macdonnell, D.S.O., an excellent officer of the permanent forces of Canada. 80 Half a mile out of the friendly town of Onor the road ran along a narrow causeway, about 100 yards in length, and with a deep swamp on either side; there was a small stream at the enemy’s end of it which had to be waded. Fire was opened on the scouts, the enemy disputing the passage of the stream from the opposite bank. The scouts kept the enemy employed while the75-millimetre and maxim were got into position. A heavy fire was then poured in, and before the enemy had recovered, the guns ceased fire and a section of the advanced guard dashed across, and extended out in the open 11 yam fields beyond. The enemy retired precipitately, having only been holding the water with scouts. |

Tried, but didn't. |
Enugu is mentioned/part of the plot of a film just releasing based on the real lives of the London Kray Twins crime brothers. One of them was planning to invest in Enugu in real life and it made it to do film, although I think just a sentence in the scene or there about. Review: But despite the multiple flaws to Legend, there is an energy and almost pantomime fun to be had in the duality of the two twins. Hardy’s performance is often comedic, as Ron plans to set up Enugu (‘Utopia’) in Nigeria.http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2015/09/second-opinion-legend-2015.html https://www.filmoria.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/legend-.jpg |
I don't usually big up whites because I feel Nigerians put them on a pedestal they don't deserve, but here's an old school photo of Princess Diana in Enugu (with a young Atilogwu dancer). https://cache4.asset-cache.net/gc/73389832-the-princess-of-wales-watches-a-cultural-show-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=sMNWaF6UIq5AJznaHhSWNTVs7a62MHiLlDUltiEd8ZaVG%2bOoU84qk3%2bA0Okw0rpvDSRaFX4qXu21WIAkrb%2bfcg%3d%3d http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/the-princess-of-wales-watches-a-cultural-show-in-enugu-news-photo/73389832 |

Prepare. |
Deleted. Forget, too many idiots and idiot enablers in this thread. |
Against king Edward I believe. Elizabeth was 1952 I think, this happened in the 1920s. |
Nigeria, where you drown on dry land. |
onenaira3:I didn't say anything about Nigeria. |
onenaira3:Now that is confusing because I've definitely listened to a Biafra broadcast. Anyway. Why then call it 'Biafra' which has no meaning and not an indigenous name like Ala Igbo? |
xmich:I senior you in Igbo matters on this forum. You're not actually arguing any point raised here. |
onenaira3:I have definitely seen where Urhobo and basically everyone surrounding the Igbo people have been lumped together in this Biafra thing by IPOB coupled with the rejection and rain of curses from the supposed groups. It's embarrassing and annoying. The best ways people successfully secede is when they can succinctly describe the group that wants to secede, hence the Igbo people who speak Igbo want their own country for their nations. I've even heard IPOB people saying Igbo is not a nation and that everyone from Itsekiri to Ijaw migrated from Aguleri. Why even keep the name "Biafra" then if this is an Igbo thing. "Biafra" has no clear meaning and was used by Europeans to mark a particular part of Africa for trading and slaves. |
Princecalm:What are you trying to say? Just write it in plain English, please. |
onenaira3:But it's IPOB, the front runner of this 'Biafra' movement, who are claiming Igede, "Isobo" (Urhobo/Isoko), Igala "Igbo-Nta" (Ibibio) and Itsekiri because "their names start with I and they wear two piece wrapper". Is that not a joke? |
Princecalm:Guy, you're making absolutely no sense. |
onenaira3:So Biafra is an Igbo thing? Why are there groups talking about Idoma, Igala, and Igede and others who have never had anything to do with Biafra? |
