This is so sad. Losing so many of our youths all in the name of cultism is just too bad.

Nothing of value of was lost.

ruggedtimi:
sinwar was a monster...man killed people for fun. Him fighting for the palestines doesnt making him any better.

Is that what your rabbi in Onistha told you about Sinwar ?

Biodun556:
I which the news is true. The Israelis fight senseless war to test American weapons because of lack of deterrence. Satanyahu and the top officials should be eliminated. Let them feel the war.

They know their Zionist project has collapsed .

They are just heaping their frustration on the Palestinians .

But what I do know is that the Jewish century of lies and deceit has finally come to an end and with that antisemitism will become what it has always been - a natural repulsion by the gentiles on seeing or encountering the filthy dirty Jew.

Natbrowny:
Na vex make me drop dat comment

Everyday, we r bombarded with isreal hamas war just to keep us informed, misinformed and disinformed

Sudan and some for africa dey on regular war, hype no dey, dem dey kpai demsefs, innocent and guilty, noone cares, why shud i care about some asian war about people who gives zero f*cks about what happens in Maiduguri or Cross river states here.

Ask a Nigerian the capital and currency of isreal or saudi or kuwait or Armenia or phillipines.. Dem sabi am
Ask people from mentioned nations same about us.. Dey give no sh*t.

I don tire. Make dem drone up demselfs. Zero f*cks given..

That's because both the war in Ukraine and the ones Israel is pushing for in the ME can easily escalate to a nuclear war and if you don't know, a nuclear war won't be limited but will affect the entire global north. And the aftermath of that will be a nuclear winter that you that are in the global south will wish you died in the initial exchange. A nuclear winter will unleash hell on earth for those who are unfortunate to survive the main nuclear exchange. The entire earth's atmosphere will be enveloped by radioactive ash that will block the sun. Temperatures globally will drop drastically, and with that there will be hardly any rain. Crops will fail as there is neither enough sun or water to ensure crops thrive. Famine will ensue. With no west anymore to supply you food, Africa will descend into full blown anarchy. Govts will collapse. The fragile order you have will collapse. It will be an anarchist's heaven. Roaming armed gangs will terrorise the landscape. Cannibalism will thrive. Death will no longer be feared but welcomed.

But a war between Sudan and South Sudan might as well be a local bar brawl and will not affect anyone. A better analogy is comparing the insecurity in the north to that in the SE. Nigerians are more concerned in ensuring peace returns to the north because the north provides the bulk of food we consume. No one cares if the yeast burns down because the SE produces nothing of value.

cjudy:
Because both of you are Zone B

Now this is stale.

cjudy:
This is the result of what your brother Wole brought to Nigeria. It shall never be well with him

Nna, they said it's the overflowing mortuary homes that is causing all the lunacy over in your SE plus the yet to be buried biafran soldiers roaming the entire SE as demons.


Abi nah Woke Soyinka be the reason for fugitives of the law and criminals occupying places like orlu ?

cjudy:
Zone B. No one will like your comment. It look stale. Try again

I did and I gave him a "like".

Akwamkpuruamu:
Mehn, this unnecessary deaths in Igbo land is unbecoming. This is not the spirit of Biafra. Cultism introduced by Wole Soyinka is not our culture

Nah so.

Blame others.

Biafra go sweet oh

LadyExcellency:
You can't confirm yet you posted it.

Maybe you can read Yiddish Hebrew and confirm what they are discussing in that channel.

Abi you no be Jew again?

Barrywilly:
That is why it is a war. There will certainly be casualties. Isrealis are not invincible to fatalities of battlefields.

Be Israel.
Get massive military support from super power America
Get unlimited funding as well plus the highest rated quality of military intelligence from US and NATO
Get US vetoing all UN resolutions to end the conflict
Still Get US deploying their diplomatic muscle to threaten the UN
Send death threats to ICC judges and prosecutors so you can continue murdering women and children .
Still fighting an impoverished, half starving militia for over a year now that was estimated to have about 30k members before the start of the conflict .
Battle is confined to a 45 sq mile area that has most of its land borders with you.
Deploy indiscriminate aerial bombardment on said area.
Break every rule in the Geneva convention regarding war crimes.
Still can't defeat Hamas.
Have the commander of their armoured brigade ambushed and killed.

IDF is shit.

Meanwhile, British Govt issues warning to the general public to stop idolising Yahya Sinwar who became a martyr and is now idolised by many across the world for his bravery and indomitable spirit even in the face of death.

IDF goofed releasing the drone video thinking they were mocking him now they made him a legend .

Also, commander of the 401st Armored Brigade Battalion, Ahsan Daksa, was killed today in Jabalia, north Gaza Strip along with several soldiers.

The commander is the highest IDF officer killed so far.

Can't confirm but Israeli Telegram channels are reporting it .

Tareq1105:
Obidients would mar Obi chances to become anything in Nigeria.

His justification for felicitations with Gen Gowon has given Obi out completely and it shows there are ill feelings and he's just managing it politically.

His birthday message was okay but the justification, after being dragged by obidients, made caricature of the earlier message portraying that the sweet things he said in the birthday message were said for political expedience.

Obi should talk less.

And he had the gall to even tell his mob that he had forgiven Gowon.

So in his mind, Gowon was the one who provocked the civil war.

Why is he spewing trash about "forgiveness"?

If there was anybody to make an apology it is those who through their greed for power and the resources of the nation, led this nation to an avoidable war and it isn't Gowon but Ojukwu and all those who supported his conquest ambition masked as secession.
And where on earth did he get the powers to offer forgiveness? Does this idiot thinks he is the Pope or the supreme ruler of the world ?

nairalanda1:
Thanks for enlightening me on how much you hate others.

Good evening. Beware, hate for others is destructive.

Truth is bitter.


No more room for revisionism that is only meant to fuel Ibo supremacist ideology.

T9ksy:
Why does everything about you people always have to be "tribal hatred" ? One can't
correct you guys without it been out of hatred for your tribe?

I corrected a statement by you that aquino was only 10yrs old and hence he forgot everything about his culture, language, heritage and had also been westernised hence he had no means of finding hiw way back home and i referred you to the fact that Ajayi Crowther was only 12yrs old but stoll found his way home. How has my rejoinder to you excuse for aquino has to do with tribal hatred?

In addition, ajayi too spent time in england maybe not as long as aquino but nevertheless, he did ɓut was not westernised enough to forget about his homeland.

Desist from perceving everybody you engage with by your own thought process. Not every response from others ( to your claims) should be constru as tribal hatred-induced by you guys. It's cheap ang infantile cop-out.

The truth is anti Ibo

Is it now you are knowing

nairalanda1:
That's because there was no milleu for them to return to

Anyone taken before 1801, won't have been ever able to come back. The yorubas who came back were able to do so because of the small milleu of christians in their region.

Any Igbo won't have been able to come back until the early 20th century. Ibo land was resistant to christianity for a long time.

Even then, some may have gone back to Sierra Leone, and Liberia. And...some may have come back as missionaries with Crowther.


Oga, calm down with your hate for igbos and jews. Hating people makes you look funny.

Story.

I am telling you the obvious truth about precolonial Ibo society and how much it was such a terrible place that even emancipated slaves never thought about going back there.

If you call it hate speech nah
Sabi.

I want you to know that if not for the British you all like to blame for everything and their intervention
in ending all the barbaric practices (which you still cling on to) and ending the Jewish slave trade, your freeborns would have harvested you all into the Americas .

nairalanda1:
Hating people does the hater more harm than the people he hates.

Stop crying.

Truth is bitter and I am here to give you a whole bunch of bitter leaves to chew


This topic was meant to fuel the ego of Ibo supremacists but I had to fck it up for you guys.

nairalanda1:
Many slaves who were not Ibo never returned to their homelands.

The Yorubas who returned had a small already Missionised community to come back to. Otherwise, most Yorubas never ever came back, so did most Igbos (christianity was not even preached in igbo land until after 1860, so what would a returnee have had to come back to...a culuture he was ailien for), and most edo, middle belters, efiks, ibbibios, ijaws, and a host of other tribes...because slavery did not affect just yourba and igbos.

It affected a host of tribes. SO many tribes . Infact when the british came in, they found a lot of deserted areas because so many people had been taken that people fled into the mountains.


There is one scary photo in a book of African history. It was taken in 1904, and it shows a Moroocan boy with his hausa female slave. Ya think that young girl was able to go back?

Of course , the vast majority never returned but some did and this is important.

Those who never returned were those who never secured their freedom or forgot their origins of did not know how to get back. But the bottom line is many returned. If you go to Lagos , you will see Brazilian quarters and it was were most Yoruba returnees
from Brazil settled . There's Strachan street in Lagos and this was were the Yorubas freed by the British navy settled.

But the issue here is that there's no record of any Ibo slave returning back home.

Take Olaudah Equiano for instance. He knew his origins and obviously could afford the travel back to his ancestral land but he never did.

The answer to this is that Equiano knew his homeland and he was not too keen to return back to it.

And the reasons for this is that Equiano being sold in the first place to Jewish slavers must have come from the slave caste in the first place. Returning back to Ibo land was him resuming back to his slave status irrespective of whether he was set free by his Jewish slave masters.

Now that's the truth and that's why no emancipated Ibo slave even thought of going back to that hell hole.

nairalanda1:


Most slaves never found their way back home. If they did, the Americas and the Arab world and even places like India and Iran would have had zero native black populations.

Infact, some of them had no idea of how to get home. This was the 18th century...there were no detailed maps of the interior (infact Mungo park did not discover the Niger...he wanted to prove people wrong about how the Niger flowed...many people had the wrong idea, and he corrected them with his discovery). Gannibal and Ukashaw Gronishaw knew where they came from, but not how to get there.

I have already explained why Crowhter was different.

Many slaves, including Yoruba and Igbo, and other tribes never ever ever got to go home. That is the tragedy of slavery...be it the atlantic, or the slavery that was practiced centuries ago.


If you know your bible...you would know the Roman governor Felix. Felix was the one who put St paul in prision. Felix was a freed slave. He had become so Roman that he did not know his original culuture. He probably never knew. SO, he became Roman.(and even married up).

So the emancipated or escapee slaves of Yoruba origins who returned to their homelands nko?

The fact is that most Ibos who ended up in the hauls of Jewish slave ships were slaves in Ibo society.

Returning back to Ibo land was only returning back to being part of the slave caste that they , their ancestors and lineage to come had been condemned to by the Ibo slave caste system.

Do you think the freeborns in Ibo land will recognise a slave emancipated by his or her European master when they are of the slave caste ?

nairalanda1:
Yeah, a few things about crowther

1. He was not taken to Europe...he went to SIerra leone...same climate. And he found a community of people like him who were commited to recalling where they came from.

2. By the time he came back to his ancestral land, there was a small and growing community of christians like him. (Thanks to the work of people like Birch Freeman, and others...look up Birch Freeman).


3.Equaino was taken to Europe, and was westernised. By the time he was kidnapped, it was the 18th century, there were no christians in Southern NIgeria (the last native christian community was in Warri, and it was on its last legs after 300 years of existence), and there were no westernised regions, and Sierra Leone was not set up until over 30 years after he died.

4. I can give another example of a Nigerian who was taken away. Ukashaw Gronishaw. He could never return for the same reasons. By the way, he was not igbo...he came from what is now Borno.

5. And there was Gannibal. Gannibal could not come back home because he had forgotten where he came from . He had been so europeanized...

6, And even then, there was a chance that Crowther would have not found a home to go to...like the Sierra Leonean CInque...who led the mutiniy on the Amistad, a slave ship that was taking them to North America. He got lucky, went back home...only to find that his house and village had been burnt to the ground, and his wife and child had gone. (Sadly, he got so bitter and became a slave trader...sigh)




Oga, let's drop the tribal hate. I am not here to play igbos vs yorubas.

Not one emancipated Ibo slave returned back to Alaigbo.

Why would he return to a society that had a caste system discriminating between free borns and slaves?

The slave caste system in Ibo land did not recognise an emancipated slave.

The emancipated slave was sold into slavery in the first place because he or she was from the slave caste. Going back to Ibo land even when freed by his European masters will not change anything and the emancipated slave will still be seen as a slave in Ibo land .

So there you have it.

There's no record of any emancipated Ibo slave returning back to his ancestral roots because that was even worse for him or her as they are going back to a society that has condemned them and their lineage to slavery.

nairalanda1:
Let's put away the whole Igbo and Jews things, and think about it for a moment.

You have a kid who has been taken from his culture and language at the age of ten years old, and literally Europeanized, and also christianized, and then you want him to return to his people.....

He would be like a strange being to them. He no longer speaks their language, or respects their gods, and culture...and probably has European sensitivites.

Yeah, it would be a disaster.

Plus it is very likely he would die. He's lost his immunity to Malaria. So, he goes back.?...


Plus, the guy had found his place, as it was, in European society.


How about Abram Petrovich Gannibal. Maybe he should have gone back after all the training the Tsar had put in him. Well, he had essentially become a Russian. Woild his people have recognised him.? Infact he might have even regarded them as barbarians.(It is a good thing he stayed in Russia though...he gave that country its greatest ever general, and also was the ancestor of Pushkin, who essentially modernized Russian language).

One guy from what became Ghana was taken as a slave, and eventually got freed, went to Germany, became an intellectual, and then tried to 'go home'. It did not work out.


Let's even remember most of them did not knw which village they came from. Gannibal did not know his village, and even Equaino...all he was able to remember that he came from a village west of the Niger and that he was Ibo, which could be anywhere in Delta state.

The Jewish Atlantic slaver trade and it's Jewish slavers did not deal exclusively on children. Matured men and women were sold to Jewish slavers . The vast majority of those sold were adults


Are you now telling me that out of the millions sold none of the adults escaped or secured their freedom ?

There have been several accounts of emancipated African slaves returning back to their homeland . Notably are the likes of Ajayi Crowther . We even have accounts of Yoruba Muslim man (can't remember his name) who led a slave revolt in Bahia, regained his freedom and returned to his homeland . There's also King Bayano who was captured by Spanish slavers and sold into a Jewish plantation in Panama. He led a revolt and returned back to his homeland.

Are you telling me that out of the millions of Ibos sold into slavery all of them were kids?

I laugh.

It's no secret that the Ibos suffered greatly during the Jewish Atlantic Slave trade as they formed by far the highest number of abducted people .

But what is really strange that despite such high numbers running into the millions , not one single emancipated Ibo slave like the one referenced in this thread never found it in him or her to return back to their ancestral land .

I have asked severally here for just one emancipated Ibo slave who returned back to his roots.

So even after being set free not one Ibo slave returned back home. That's to tell you how fcked up Ibo land was that even freed slaves had no intention of going back home and reconnecting with their kindred.

Yep, I'm sure weenjoying Nigeria with smiles our faces 😆 🤣 😂

Yes.

For whatever it is worth, Nigeria is still far better than being genocided by cannibals .

God punish him
He should keep quiet and celebrate his birthday with the Fulanis killing his kinsmen everyday

Karma is a bad biitch

Your Ojukwu is in hell surrounded by 3 million malnourished 0su piglets crying to him and asking why he starved them to death and asking for their parents.

gidgiddy:
I'm happy he lived long enough to see the disaster his 'one Nigeria' has become today

Nigeria is still a billion times better to us from the SS than what life would have been under the cannibal Sodomite Biafra.

If not for Gowon, the plight of the SS people would have been like that of the Palestinians .

God bless Gowon and all men and women of the federal forces that drove you banzas back to your evil forest where you came out from.

God punish Ojukwu and all the cannibals around him that thought they could colonize and genocide their betters.
