Yanminri and Fulani are both from the same root...both are kafirs!

When they open this bridge just two years ago they no let people rest with noise. Obiano said he has turned Awka to Europe. Bloddy haggadanon!!! See as Europe dey crack.

Na house those people think say dem dey plaster? Na so dem go patch the crack?

Ibo is a misfit in urban setting. These people need to be returned to their simplistic village life.

Bloody kafir!

You are mean and brutal with facts.

GoldNiagara:



I am tired of that 20 pounds narrative really! A lot of Nigerian soldiers and civilians died in the senseless war started by an effeminate soldier!


We will sued federal government for our own 20 pounds.

20 pounds times 60 million Yorubas is 1.2_billion pounds. Do the maths nairalanders.

That is like approximately 7 Trillion Naira. This need to be seen to a logical conclusion.

IkpuMmadu:



You are killing these people with facts and links ...I love your narrative

Facts and links! Are you shyting me.Ngwannu Ikpu juroyi.

You could not be more correct. Unfortunately, the dude is the product of liberal section of European sects. He is used to slight Achebe after Achebe destroyed the cynical myth of Europeans with the classical essay of Africa as against the crap from Joseph Conrad.

Achebe with his trashy rejoinder to Conrad Art of Darkness is a poster boy of mediocrity, little wonder he won nothing significant.

PDJT:
A classical example of an individual who doesn’t understand that acquired knowledge has limitations. Empowered by the West as an African poster boy, he feels entitled to comment on American National affairs whilst his Yoruba people are just another Tribe in Africa.
I’d have said more if not for his historic support of my beloved Nation, Biafra.

They could not empower Achebe! Other Africans have won Nobel prizes, why this thing dey pain una like this. Sore losers!

Habakus:

In as much as you were not the person I referred to in my quote, I'll give you a few pointers : When a people is not very honest with their history, there's bound to be disaffection within them. Here's what the Olugbo of Ugbo, Oba Obateru said here : http://wakaaboutafrica.com/2017/01/04/feuding-facts-fiction-royal-ancestry/
He insisted that Oduduwa was not the founder of the Yorubas. Now, you don't have to dismiss his postulation with a wave of hand, because it is very certain that when Oduduwa came ( where he came from is debatable) , he met some people there. People were already on ground there.
Now the questions are :
Who were those people?
Were they Yorubas?
If they were Yorubas, why do some of the present Yorubas posit that Oduduwa was the progenitor of the Yorubas?
Now check this out :
The title of the ruler is ' Olugbo of Ugbo '.
Olugbo is clearly an ethnic Igbo word.
It even has the 'Olulo Udaume ' that is consistent and common in the Igbo language Structure.
The 'Ugbo ' itself is also an Igbo word.
All these are not by chance.
Also, Abeokuta which is a place presently in Sw is indisputably Igbo word.
Abeokuta simply means 'ebe okute,ie, place of stone. I'm very much aware that the Yorubas have a similar word for translated to stone. Ask yourself this: why such similarity? Does it mean the Igbos in far away east adopted that word in their language from the Yorubas from antiquity?
Or what?
You also have to take into account the story of Moremi of Yoruba history.
Who were the people Moremi manipulated?
There's another thing: If you objectively and carefully observe the physical appearance of the present day Yorubas, you'd see a very marked inconsistence in their physical characteristics.
Certain Yorubas from certain parts of Sw have more closer resemblance with the Igbos than the normal 'Yoruba characteristics'.
What does 'Ile ife' mean in Yoruba language?
The Internet is plentiful with rich sources were you can get the true account of Histories, if you know where to look with an open mind.
How do you think that the Yorubas came about the 'Igbo ' word in their language?
I leave you to research.

lmao! Eko sounds like eke an igbo word. Ndi ara.

TheArchangel:
How can a man speak for a woman?


You say women are very emotional and have sex with emotions attached?.....well ......where does this analysis placed the rungirls and the prostitutes or are they not women.?
Women enjoys sex much more than men, it is just the society that made it seem otherwise.

We are talking of married women not women in general!

WetinConsignMe:


Of course Awo was a legend and a great man but that doesn't put him beyond public discussion. In fact it makes him most eligible for a forum like this. A new thread is created on NL every 3 mins on average. In this particular thread we are discussing Awo's controversies.
He was a great man. No discussion can take that away.
Once we establish that we can then move beyond tribal sentiments and freely discuss the man.

A discussion steeped in fibs is not fit to be discussed by serious minded person.Gold Niagara 2017.Lagos Portugal.

Every political party save for Apga. Get your facts right.

Op do you mean living in Nigeria or leaving Nigeria.If they are leaving it will be superfluous to expatriate them.

This annoying,stuppid man called Junaid mohammed is correct...The ever loud and empty blabbermouths from the SW have the tendency to hype and inflate whatever little contribution they make to any one or course that is not theirs..

Lies,false-hood,distortion of facts,turning truth on its head and twisting facts appears to be their forte..such scary bunch of people.

Men Yoruba really gives some people night terrors.

A young Nigerian lady who was reportedly harassed by some police officers in Ilorin might just get the justice she deserve following the arrest of the officers in Ilorin.

Four Special Anti-Robbery Squad members who’d reportedly harassed the young lady with the name, Kachi Anifela Zion have been arrested according to the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Lawan Ado.

Anifela had taken to Instagram to narrate how she was sexually harassed by the officers who labeled her a ‘ yahoo girl ‘ and also a prostitute in Ilorin. She specifically accused one of the officers of inserting his fingers into her private parts.

The officers have reportedly been arrested and will now face investigation over the matter.

This doddler is still gnawing about insensate some sort of rare idiocy. You don't even make sense, now I will not slang match with a pig.You really sound pained is this thing more than equiano.

Keep better traction your emotion, you are a mess really. Dumb bleeps every where.

Olodo, how did the name 'books' find it's way to your username... I'm shocked.

I'm sure the whites were too educated and couldn't have corrupted word 'Igbo' as 'Eboe'. I'm also sure you only read arabic ile ikewu books. Odoyo!

You had to result to ad hominem and eloquence of dog. Focus wet fart, address the issue and not the issuer.

Now lets address your stupidity, ...Really don't have time, now piece this shit together: autobiography, eboe, corruption. Damn impatient with corn for brains.

BudeYahooCom:


Your muslim anti-Igbo ewedu-dripping mouth can cry to Allah 100 times the truth remains that Olaudah in his book made it very clear he is Eboe (Igbo) without leaving a shred of doubt, he only passed through benin enroute to slavery. We know you this but can't live with the fact that the great Igbo man is being celebrated globally due to your prehistoric envy. Pls die if you want to.

Fact number 1.
He translated his name Ikwuano (Equiano) Olaudah (which mean loud voice in Igbo). What does Olaudah mean in Edo or yoruba (as you would like to claim by extension)?

Fact 2
He mentioned 'Esseke' which is a town actually spelt Iseke in Ihiala local government area Anambra of today. I am from Ihiala and today a 45 minute drive from Ihiala will get you into the region that was the old benin empire. You see the proximity?

Fact 3
In his book, he mentioned our Igbo for market days as 'Oye' (Orie) 'Ukwo' (Nkwo) 'Ah-for' (Afor) 'Ekeh' (Eke). Where does benin come in here?

Cry till you die, grit your muslim teeth till you quench with hate. Everyone knows Olaudah remain IGBO as every true historian knows. Bitter pill for you right?

You conveniently corrupted the guy's name to claim him as Igbo, he wrote his autobiography meaning he is educated and therefore why would he corrupt his names. Your post is highly suspect!

rlauncher:
This write-up is in response to the interview granted by the highly respected leader of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Pa Unongo that the late sage, nationalist and former premier of the defunct Western Region of Nigeria ,Chief Obafemi Awolowo was responsible for the introduction of tribal politics in Nigeria.

I wish to unequivocally state here that this is further from the truth. This is not to say that the elderstateman is a liar, as I believe he sincerely spoke based on the information available to him.

We in the southwest who have a good sense of our national history have always known that the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was never the nationalist many people had always wanted us to believe he was because of the many things he did in the then Western Nigeria which were unknown to many people. But we always tried to keep quiet about these things in order not to malign the memory of our great men and for the sake of peace and national unity.

However, when a voice like that of the respected statesman comes casting us, the Yoruba people in bad light as a people responsible for tribal politics in Nigeria, we are left with no choice than to defend our name and integrity and set the record straight.

First, Awolowo did not start tribal politics in Nigeria, Azikiwe actually did.

It all started after Herbert Macaulay , a Yorubaman handed over the reins of the leadership of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroon (NCNC), Nigeria's first nationalist political party to Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, an Igboman without rancour. No tribalism. No sooner had Azikiwe took over the rein of the political party than he started filling all the strategic posts in the party with people with people from the Eastern region especially people of Igbo extraction. This essentially transform a once national party into an Eastern or Igbo party. In the process, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his followers were forced out of a political party founded by a Yorubaland by an Igbo man . This was when the seed of tribal politics was sown by no other person but Azikiwe himself. The Action Group(AG) was founded by Awolowo as a result.

Apart from the above incidence, Azikiwe was using his national political influence to fill most federal positions in the federal civil service mainly with Igbo people in nowhere else but Western Region.That was at a time when the Western region indigenous people, the Yorubas could conveniently field four for every one qualified candidates the Igbo people could muster. A case in point was when about 104 lecturalship positions was made available at the University of Ibadan, the capital if Western Nigeria, and Azikiwe used his influence to ensure that Easterners got 94 of the 104 positions.

These and many other covert actions of Azikiwe in the Western region cost him the premiership as the Yorubas realized before it was too late that he could not be trusted.

Don't waste your time on unongo, he is becoming senile.

Exposure to all those stupid soap and Korean movies.

In short my entire extended family is mixture of both religion and when I think about each and everyone of them I see an extension of myself not a religion. Next...

You get time, they have make it a career to x-ray anything Yoruba in and out, it is easier cos they are economic refugees in lagos state.

Remember how everybody wanna be like an American. We love them, admire them, wish to be like them, talk like them and do everything like them, that is the phase the Igbos are going through.
