There are Yoruboid communities in Delta State, not only the Itshekiris. We have been long neglected by Yoruba nation which is why our Anioma neighbors are trying so hard to change our identity. They call us Odiani as part of their political plan to make us have a sense of belonging among them. But we the Olukumi are Yoruboid by blood and all our communities of Olukumi, including Ugbodu community and others must be recognized by Ooni as he does the itshekiri.
We don't care where you are from so far you guys don't start laying claims to those lands like Fulanis do.
MrMaestro: I've come to the conclusion that there's a significant enough number of igbo people that have a LOT of self hatred. I don't understand why but it's becoming increasingly clear. Between Aconomist, Ezenri, and all the dumb IPOB members chanting for Trump all the way in eastern Nigeria like self hating slaves. As if he's ever once given them a single iota of a thought. It's really starting to become clear. Never have I seen a black tribe so willing to align themselves with white barbarians. {/quote] Yorubas have a culture of self-deceit. We don't.
Our culture recognizes Dike (the strong) and accords them with every respect they deserve but never bowing to them. We bow only to our Chi.
While your people were begging the whites to colonize them, we fought them. Today, we are still fighting to dismantle while your people are begging for unity.
We supported Trump and your people supported Hillary and Biden despite their atrocities in Africa. So, who is a better black man?
[quote author=MrMaestro post=100527833] White people were never the smartest, strongest, or best. They were, and are, the most ruthless. Point blank period. Only an uncivilized man would venerate this. You can respect it, but veneration is something different altogether. If the United States didn't have 400 years of unadulterated free labor, it definitely wouldn't be the biggest economy in the world. The same can be said for Europe and their plundering of Africa. The only people that legitimately developed on their own merit was the East, middle east, and eastern Europe.
Stupid excuses.
Were was Africa when the white were plundering them? Keep up with your victim mentality while the rest of the world develops.
People like Aconomist and Eze Nri would simply bow to white people in whatever they do.
I am Igbo and we bow only to our chi. Or do you want me to post the photo your kings bowing to the Queen with only the Obi of Onitsha standing tall as a proper Igbo man?
All I'm saying is when Blacks ruled the world there was never a world war, and huge lands of the earth rendered uninhabitable because of a pissing match (Hiroshima & Nagasaki). Talk about recklessness, they could've made humanity extinct like the barbaric children that they are. An Earth that has been proven to be a rare life nourishing planet not only in our solar system but rare in the universe overall.
Selective amnesia. Go and research what Egyptians did as then world power.
But whatever, I've made my point. The only thing I'll say is this. African leaders need to get their shit together and take back control of this planet like we are supposed to. We have the natural resources, there's no reason why every major global decision shouldn't be going through us. If every country did what Ghana is doing now (refuse to export their natural resources, make products themselves), the world would bend to their knees.
No silicon for your devices, No more plutonium for your wars. You can guarantee that white people would do that if it were the other way around. I'm not saying it should happen overnight, but I'll know Africa is serious when their Year 2050 plan for Africa includes a goal of less than 10% natural resource export. Adding value to all their resources before exporting anything. Most of the rest of the world is already set up to be consumers anyway
50k for 100,000mah guaranteed to power you pc for more than 10 hours. 75k for 180,000mah guaranteed to power pc for more than 18hours. All are built with brand new liFePo4 battery.
Garbage. I don't think you know what 'ambition' and 'wickedness' really mean.
Unbridled 'ambition' has led to a world in which we stand at the precipice of destroying all life on earth.
Are you aware there is an Armageddon clock which is adjusted according to the state of world affairs?
Right now it is something like 2 minutes to midnight, the highest it's EVER been, even higher than during the Cold War.
I think those who invented guns and bombs, using them to invade and colonise the rest of the world, killing billions of people in the process, in order to corner their resources, and then built nuclear weapons to destroy the planet, are, by a magnitude of 2000, more ''wicked'' than any people of AFRICAN descent.
Assuming you’re capable of learning anything, then read the following with your mind open.
The dates associated with the Igbo-Ukwu ‘bronzes’ are those submitted by Professor Thurstan Shaw in the 20th century.
However, Professor Thurstan Shaw himself issued his disclaimers regarding these dates which he associated with the ‘bronzes’.
His disclaimers is simply to effect that those dates (as associated with the ‘bronzes’) are NOT facts based but on assumptions.
In simple terms, the ‘bronzes’ themselves were never dated — either by radiocarbon or another technique.
The actual samples dated are entirely different items most of which are also from an entirely different place.
These samples are:
(1) Four (4) “composite charcoal samples” from Igbo-Jonah.
(2) The “sample I-2008” — that is, a piece of “wood from what is interpreted as a stool” from Igbo-Richard.
It is the actual radiocarbon dates obtained from these samples that he has admittedly assumed to be perhaps of the same date as the actual ‘bronze’ artifacts from Igbo Richard.
In fact, he later considered other arguments which points him to the conclusion that the Igbo Ukwu ‘bronze’ arteafcts are actually not that early but from a very latter period.
However, he has called for more archaeological work in order to pinpoint the specific and actual latter-date of the ‘bronzes’.
But as we wait for such definitive work, it is fair to work with the assumed date, while knowing for a fac ext that the ‘bronzes’ are actually from a much latter period.
Let me know if you need the references from Thurstan Shaw himself.
Cheers!
Lol.
TAO version of the history. Igboukwu bronze is over 100 years older than Ife art.
Your ancestors where playing with clay 100 years after Igboukwu first casted with bronze.
Aworis are “omo Olofin”. Olofin migrated to Lagos from Ile Ife the same way Eze Nri migrated from Ile Ife to Igbo land.
No proper omo olofin will deny his Oduduwa ancestry. They own and rule over most parts of Lagos with the exception of Lagos Island and Victoria Island that are ruled by Benin royalties.
Then how come the highest deity in Yoruba land Obatala is Nri priest.
Shut your dumb lips. What ''pandemic'' are ''the whites busy fighting''? MUMU. Don't go and read about their Great Reset agenda. Be falling for their stupid tricks about a ''pandemic'' like the dunce they hope you are.
They should not have 'bred' you either. What makes you more worthy of living than any other black person?
capitalzero: Arabs and Europeans came to document our history. If Africans had brought knowledge from other lands, we would have developed our writing system.Most Africans have no ambitions but to have sex, drink, breed, hunt, fight tribal wars and die. Human history is written in blood. Europeans took it to highest level.
You are not making sense. So rather than build on your success, you would rather have it demolished and restart allover again. You can reject Nigeria vehemently and still build wealth and develop. Catalonia is an example. You don't need to turn SE to Sambisa to show you want Biafra badly. You turn her to most developed region in Nigeria to show Nigerians you are a class above them and want no unity with them.
Good you believe UGM is not ESN, because I'm here praying and hoping they are not. Because if they are, they will lose support base in SE quickly. Not even their shouts of Sabo on dissenting Igbo voices will save them.
We want Biafra and we want development. We also know we can have them both same time. We will not exchange one for the other. If MNK and IPOB can not deliver both of them without sacrificing one, then they should step aside.
Simple.
I was in Aba when a joint team of the army and police massacred hundreds of IPOB members praying at National High School, PH road for the release of MNK.
What was their crime? They were praying to God to release MNK for them.
Go to YouTube and watch the gory videos.
I was in Aba when my close friend and others were shot died.
Was there crime?
They were protesting peacefully with Biafran flags asking for the release of MNK.
I was in Aba between 2015 and 2017 and I saw our people perished, killed in cold blood for just protesting with flags.
I have not business with IPOB and will never do, but I will never pity Nigerian Police and Army.
You may have comprehension problem but I don’t. The message is crystal clear for those that can read and understand. ESN is UGM and UGM is ESN. If you know, you know.
When the markets dry up because of lack of customers, when many youths become jobless, and resort to crime. When you can no longer walk down your street without being attacked by hoodlums looking to feed, when all you see around you is hunger, despair and squalor. Then it will concern you.
Nonsense.
Fvck out phool.
We survived a 3 years devastating war, and stillore developed than those that didn't.
Today, there is no non-capital city in the country that is more developed than Aba and Onitsha.
I support ESN, every other group can go to hell.
ESN is not UGM, only fools and mischievous elements associate the two.
If this is what IPOB hierarchy believe, then they need to stress on this during MNK broadcasts on Radio Biafra. Every iota of doubt of IPOb and ESN being UGM has to be strongly dispelled by IPOB and Kanu. This is very important if they want to keep the support ESN enjoy in SE high as it currently is.
They should know Ndiigbo are democrats. Our support can be withdrawn and ESN will suffer as well as our farmers.
He should take this rumour of UGM being ESN serious. Many Igbos will not support UGM and you know that.
Nothing concern me with una IPOB, RBL, RBI, UGM, BIM, BZM, MASSOB and other bullshits.
I am in support of anything that will flush Fulani supporters of APC out of Eastern forests without harming innocent lives.
ESN used to stay in the bushes doing the Lord's work until prevailing circumstances (repeated attacks on their base camps by the military) forced them to adapt to.a more mobile and urban type of guerilla warfare. Right now we (Ndigbo) can adhere to the code of "Ekumeku" in regards to the escapades of unknown gunmen for obvious reasons... but deep down we all know who these UGM are.
