the igbos led by ojukwu were really foolish. they somehow thought they were going to win without support from their neighbours? hell, the ijaws their so-called closest cousins were not fully convinced and fought gallantly to see the demise of biafra and ‘abandoned properties’ in ph have still not been returned.

even though ojukwu schooled in the uk and was trained by the brits, and with achebe's superior knowledge of the english language, they still failed to convince the british to support biafra? how is that not an all-round failure in the making?

even cameroon blocked their border to biafra. where was achebe when this was happening? why didnt he use his brilliance and superior knowledge of the english langauage to negotiate with cameroon to open their borders? oh wait, the cameroonians dont give a shiit about the english langauge and only understand french. achebe should have mastered french instead of english language, it would have done biafra some good.

CultureRe: Ethiopia Vs Somalia----the History Behind The Hate by ezotik: 12:38am On Oct 08, 2012
In the late 1970s, Ethiopia and Somalia fought over Ethiopia's barren Ogaden region. Why, who the f*ck knows or cares. In any case, both nations were Commie-ruled at that time, but the Soviet Bloc put their money on Ethiopia. This was probably one of the saddest wars in history. To really understand what a war between Ethiopia and Somalia was like, picture two homeless niggers engaging in a drunken fistfight over a two-day-old piece of fried chicken. In the end, the Somalis got pwned by the Ethiopians. Or rather, by the Ethiopians' Soviet and Cuban-supplied weapons. Funny how the Ethiopians and Somalis both had money for guns and tanks, but no money for food. Hmmmm.

CultureRe: Modern Traditional Attire Of Nigeria by ezotik: 1:02pm On Sep 30, 2012
as a child, i can remember my mum saying:

'ya rie ukiofon mwen re' meaning 'go and bring my headtie'

there is no usage of the word gele as headtie in edo language. the word gele means true/truth in edo lexicon. ukiofon is the word for headtie in edo and that's what my mum and sisters call it.

so the way i see this gele issue, gele is the adopted pidgin word for headtie..coz outside pidgin english, the word means something else in edo.

lol..tufia whats up with the long speech? i never knew someone like u would take what i say so seriously.. grin or u are just mad i didnt mention u? grin u should have kindly asked instead of the long irrelevant essay.

never seen a more incorrect statement since i joined nl.
unlike u who have been here since the inception of nl, i joined last year so i dont see how u expected my statment to reflect what u feel is correct. besides, i cant honestly remember anytime we have agreed on anything.

may i ask you if you were the one who appointed people as sole spokesperson/s for their various tribes?
yes.

unless there are individual yoruba, edo, igbo and hausa sections on nl where seun specifically said only certain people should hold sway,your statement is extremely misleading.
how and why?

anybody is allowed to post, and oftentimes serious threads get derailed by some who think they know more than others when in actual fact all they're doing is mixing wild fairytales with implausible fiction.
and the wild fairytales leads to discussion where different sides of the story are put toward by other users.

I'm not saying negro falls into this category, but people get tired of trying to correct the wild cards with the menagerie of disney-esque fables who have more energy and incentive to push their blahblahblah than ordinary folks without an agenda but who know their onions. No need to name names. That is the reason for the silence you are noticing. To the best of my knowledge, Negro does not do that (ie abandon such threads)- instead he believes in opening doors of discussion for every point of view.
ok, so why are u whining? isn't that the purpose of a 'forum?'

basically, my point is there are other posters of note, in culture section, than just the three you named
so why dont u name them? if u name three more like i did, that will make it 6 abi? so what's stopping u? too proud becoz u have an e-ego to protect?

I'm not a fan of sycophancy ie nl naming conventions, hence my post. Things like that undermine genuine research.
of course u are, if not u would not have been bothered under the guise that it 'undermines genuine research' or u think people who come here are not bright enough to form their own opinions about what they read here?

if you want to admire them, just say so without mincing words, its not a crime to state your opinion.
in case u didnt notice, i have already stated my 2cents.

well, i can certainly agree with you about physics anyway- he certainly is the spokesperson for binis on nl.
good.

andre uweh is for igbos no doubt, but he's not the only one posting on igbo related matters in the section.
ohh, genius thanks for letting me know. but why u expected me to name all of them is beyond me. but i guess to u, thats not sychophancy..

and something that just occurred to me is that our quest to become more christ-like may have affected our architectural designs.. coz all the old houses were built like a courtyard no matter the status of the person that we called 'oteghodo' and it catered to all the wives who had different sections in the house. but these days nobody builds like that again because now the ideal family is one man, one wife and few kids..so the need for a courtyard type of house with an oteghodo is dying out.

bilms, when i said they lost it, i didn't mean literally. it is no longer a dominant part of their culture. but when u get off the fone, i'd be interested to know how u can separate religion from culture without coming off like the clerics. and the traditions u intend to do away with and what u intend to keep.

but i agree with the thread though because of the way he banned this id some time ago.

and i actually laid a complaint against him that he should be removed...but i guess the powers that be tossed it in the garbage.
CultureRe: Seperating Culture From Religion by ezotik:
@ bilms

different ethnic groups worship different idols..the idols worshipped by the hausas will not be the same worshipped by the igbos. so the idol u worship is related to ur ethnic background. if someone is to say 'i just came back from an okija shrine'...can't u guess his ethnic background without him telling u?

and unless u want to clarify ur statements i think they are at odds with each other. if on one hand u don't want idol worshipping that is part of ur culture which i guess is unacceptable in ur christian belief coz im assuming u are a christian, then why do u have problems with clerics who do not want same thing or other aspects of ur culture that are not welcomed in christian or muslim traditions?

bilms: even the whites who brought Christianity also worshiped idol,the same with the Arabs...so,worshiping idol is not synonymous with Africans,but the world.. but we must separate idol from culture....
but are they still worshipping the idols today? no, they lost it all to another idol, jesus. while the arabs lost theirs to another idol, mohammed. so whites built their life around jesus and while arabs built their life around mohammed, and their cultures were developed around tenets of the bible and the quran.

europeans do not marry more than one wife at a time because jesus said so... and that became part of their culture, while arabs can have up to four wives because mohammed said so, and it also became part of their culture.

now, the culture of most african societies were polygamous so the african societies that adopted islam were not in conflict with the polygamous culture of islam and it worked out well for them.. but those that adopted christianity will have to drop that aspect of their culture to fit into the tenets of the bible.
CultureRe: Seperating Culture From Religion by ezotik:
saintvc: Culture/tradition and religon cant be saperatd. Even in d bible,some of d laws are just d tradition of d people.
exactly!
...take male circumcision for example, it was already part of african tradition and since it was also part of judaism and later christianity, that culture did not conflict with each other...but since female circumcision is not part of christianity but part of some african traditions, what do we have today? an outcry against it. i bet if male circumcision is not part of christian traditions, there would also be an outcry against it and it would have been crudely termed 'male gen.ital mutilation'.

CultureRe: Seperating Culture From Religion by ezotik:
bilms: I am very sure that religion doesnt prevent one from observing their culture,provided it is not worshiping idol and associating anything with God.
bilms: But Some clerics have label most of our cultures as bad even though it is not in the holy books,this has lead many people to abandone our culture to adopt foreign cultures in the name of religion.
lol.. why are u contradicting yourself? in one statement u seem to think 'idol' worshipping and associating anything about your ethnic background with God is bad (which i guess is the christian God, Jesus) then you go ahead to blame clerics for labelling same thing as bad? and now, you are seeking a way of how to separate religion from your culture?

your whole thought process is moulded by your religious affinity and it influences your morals, what you see as good and bad, how you see yourself and how you carry yourself in the society. so there is no way you can actually separate religion from culture because if culture is a way of life, then your religious affinity helps mould that way of life.

so the most you can do is adapt any religion to fit your ethnicity. for example, the early Binis were introduced to Catholicism by the Portuguese who they traded with, but since they already believed in a supreme God, Osanobua, they were able to transform Catholicism to fit their ethnicity and they have the Holy Arousa where the Omo N’oba is the spiritual head of the church instead of the pope in rome. and with the Omo N’oba as the spiritual head of the church, they worship God through someone who is the guardian and custodian of their customs and traditions...so everything is included, including what u think is bad, like 'idol' worshipping that you and the clerics who are trying to fit into a religion instead of transforming it to fit you.
