Eco101: Pained soul, get it at the back of your mind that the plan will fail. Only God can kill the dulard. But even if he dies in God's time, the northern cabal will frustrate the mere Commissioner out of office and no one will come to his rescue. You can hit your head on the nearby wall for all I care
Guy, you are a frustrated soul. I am not buhari's supporter but your continuing restlessness over who another people support makes you look stupid not frustrated. You said something n call it fact. Which fact, is that how fact comes from your race? What is your problem with who Yoruba's support? When your tribe slavishly supported northerner against awolowo, did Yoruba cry? When you did same against abiola, do they complain? Why can't you hide your frustration for one's. Do you think anyone cares about your existence? Oh, for your mind now, you think the rubbish you said will make them not to vote him. You are just fooling yourself and it is a shame on your race.
Ojiofor: Ponponkon na Ngwa supremacist at least here in nairaland and I just hear you say Ngwa people dey choplet human flesh hmmmmmm.the guy go vez for you o.lmao.Mean while say no to any kind of skull mining and human flesh chopping.
Shut up, ngwa people n other osus enjoy feasting on human flesh. Not long ago una dey serve human meat in restaurant in anambra.
WORDWORLD: you mean you also contributed to the same Wikipedia you are telling us lacks authenticity?!
Any way HISTORY means his own story, HIS-STORY. Thank you for your time. Perhaps Wikipedia ought to be banned for being a hood of misinformation.
Then I still find the following on Wikipedia to be so true.
"The first recorded repatriation of African people from Brazil to what is now Nigeria was a government-lead deportation in 1835 in the aftermath of a Yoruba and Hausa led rebellion in the city of Salvador known as the Malê Revolt.[2] After the rebellion, the Brazilian government fearful of further insurrection allowed freed or manumitted Africans the option to return home or keep paying an exorbitant tax to the government.[3] A few Africans who were free and had saved some money were able to return to Africa as a result of the tough conditions, taxation, racism and homesickness. In 1851, 60 Mina Africans to put together $4,000 to charter a vehicle for Badagry.[3]
After slavery was abolished in Cuba and Brazil in 1886 and 1888 respectively, further migration to Lagos continued. Many of the returnees chose to return to Nigeria for cultural, missionary and economic reasons. Many of them descended from the Yoruba. In Lagos, they were given the watery terrains of Popo Aguda as their settlement. By the 1880s, they comprised about 9% of the population of Lagos. Towards the end of 1920, the migration stopped.
[b]Though, coastal Lagos was the preferred destination, most of the returnees were descendants of groups such as Ijeshas, Oyos, Ijebu and Egba based in the interior. [/b]The Agudas were aware of their home cities but preferred to set up shop in Lagos because it was conducive for trade, they were warmly received in Badagry and also because of on-going wars in the interior. A ship with Agudas docking in Badagry can be welcomed by crowds of children hailing them as they disembark from the ship.[4] In some cases, the Oba gave them land to build a house and provided men to assist them in their transition to local life.
WORDWORLD: My point still came out open for all to see with the # bolded.
And how did you come about "Yoruba's were slaves who were freed in the Americas". Slaves to who and freed by who and when?! Can you elucidate. A question to you just like I just finished asking someone how Judaism, Islam, Christianity have their roots in Yoruba cults of which you quickly answered that it all about superiority complex. WHAT ARE YOUR EVIDENCE TO YOUR OWN CLAIM.
He will never answer you, the guy is a compound fool.
prolog2: As I have said severally, the maps, (they are more than 5) are available right here on nairaland. To get them, one only needs to type "Gallica" on nairaland research. I will not post the maps at your command. I have indicated where they are, all you need to do is go and get them rather than needlessly asking me to post them. I posted them more than 30 times already, at some point in my life I have to stop or else I would be posting these maps all my life. I seriously hope you have enough braincells to understand this, but I think you don't
I do not care about what you say. All I want is, bring out the so called map n indicate those states. Not unintelligent rant. Proof that you have a functioning brain cell.
mightyhazell: u must be very daft ,..and backed up by legendary stupidity if u think u can continue peddling malicious and baseless lies without any form of reactions.. mr helpers,Why not help urselves and ur starving Headhunting uncles first?
googi: One has to be careful with some of you guys, otherwise well meaning Igbo would get caught in this.
I don't think this self congratulation and love for Awo would work on those with any sense of history.
That you released Awo from Prison, not Gowon.
That you sent Awo to Calabar not Gowon.
That you wanted to make Awo the President.
Did any of you have any control on Federal Prison?
If you did, Awo wrote Ironsi when he had power to release him, he refused. Ojukwu was the Military Governor in the East for Ironsi declared Unitary State.
Go back home and find out, every Igbo man or woman that ever prospered in Nigeria made it from the West. Even those that started in the North made their way to the West.
You had the gut to ask what Yoruba has ever done for Igbo.
Ingrate! Please do not provoke me. I will tell you your story from when you entered the West with only dirty "singlet".
mightyhazell: If u say so,...atleast igbos supported them at one point or another. Show me in history where yoruba supported Any igboman for anything...
Even tho majority igbo rascally soldiers endangered the whole igbo race,trying to rescue awolowo from the jaws of the balewa and sardauna led northern elements.... Only for awolowo to encourage ojukwu into a war he was not Prepared for and swiftly joined forces to exterminate him and the igbo race
[/s]Which awolowo. Where did igbo support Yoruba? So it is awolowo that encouraged. I dey laugh oo
WORDWORLD: # bolded is the reason the world of humans never ceases to bleed at our feet.
The American think himself most SUPERIOR. The Caucasian thinks himself most SUPERIOR. The Jew thinks himself most SUPERIOR. Amidst the Negros some tribes think themselves most SUPERIOR. I can go on and on............a race for SUPPERIORITY which leads to nothing but OPPRESSION of others and so pathetically true is how the oppressed eventually fight for a so called FREEDOM. So called because it is never a fight for freedom but POWER. POWER TO AS WELL OPPRESS OTHERS.
I was given a training of the Mind by my father to never ever take pride in tribe except to embrace humanity and to practice COMPASSION.
TO BE TRUELY HUMAN AND HUMANE IS A CHALLENGE TO US ALL.
Do not take that guy words, he was shouting Benin own Lagos, ogun n ondo. And he was challenged to bring his so called map n indicate those states on it.
prolog2: because like his Yoruba brothers, nothing they say relies on facts or history, it all relies on ethnocentric feelings. These guys don't even know what the word history means. All they want to say is just: "we superior pass you". And they intend to archieved their goals by ignoring logics and by intensively trolling and telling as much self serving lies as they can.
Shut up. You have been challenged to bring out your map n indicate ondo, ogun, n Lagos on it. But instead, you keep shifting goal post and ranting.
Ojiofor: What I saw was a celebration of skull mining by the Oo ni of Ife. What a sophisticated culture. Tufiakwa! Your Obas are known flesh eaters even today.
At least, they are not busy feasting on the human flesh n sipping its water like we see in your tribe.
Moneywomen17: the British fought the Benin with 1200 men and massacre and burn down the city while exiling ur king from his own land. It was never a huge conested war like u are making it out to be. They came and defeated u lot simple. The Ijebu fought against the British too before u forget history. And the egba too was also not defeated in a war instead they were recognized as an independent government even though it didn’t last long. Egba was only officially under British governor direct rule in early 20 century.
prolog2: History is taking a huge beating from you today. Your ooni and your alafin gave up to the British without a fight, in the whole Nigeria Benin Kingdom gave the Brits the hardest time. Where you are getting your imaginary 500 year war with the British is beyond me... But this is what you Yoruba do all day: make up stuff and act like it's true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh2Tac1gNPU
Stop looking for relevance. No one takes una serious. You guys with your oba are useless entities in the nation. We know you people to be a ravitionist. You were asked to bring map n indicate ondo, ogun, n Lagos as part of Benin, na pole you dey shift.
Moneywomen17: u are wasting ur time he will never do it cuz it’s not there. The thing is I use to believe until one day I clicked on the map and i couldn’t find out what he was talking about so I challenge him to highlight the Yoruba land under Benin and he started insulting me instead
[quote author=prolog2 post=74891707][/quote]Shifting of goal post won't save you. Show the map n indicate ondo, ogun n Lagos. Stop displaying ur daftness.
Moneywomen17: u mean the Lagos that was far better than Benin. Didn’t u say Benin own Lagos and u still own it. What are u talking about that they diverge from Benin. Ur lie is too much my guy. Do u know what a tributary is. The British didn’t recognize Benin in Lagos at all
