aribisala0:
There cannot be a contradiction in a question
It us an inquiry

One may hold the right opinion by luck not necessarily for the right reasoning

So I ask questions to understand your thinking

Opinions right or wrong are all processes of reasoning. How do you come about an opinion by luck? You were sitting in your armchair and it just dropped on your lap?
I think you were just trying to start an argument.

aribisala0:
Did it exist anywhere at any time?

You should ask the person who created the thread about ancient democracy in Igboland.
By the way, aren't you contradicting your own statements on this thread?
I can ask you the same question because earlier you said and I quote "Historically there is nothing like an Igbo democracy . It did not exist"
How is this different from what I said?

aribisala0:
People? Which people?
Even in a military government "people " choose. Leaders
So your definition raises questions for more definition

People
Freely
Choose

How are those things defined?

Democracy is probably impossible to define with universal unanimity

Just like goodness

A lot of people like to suggest elections imply democracy

They forget Hitler won an election

Whichever way you want to define it, my point is that it didn't exist in that part of the country as far as history is concerned.

aribisala0:
Well depends on how you defined democracy?

A system where people freely choose their leaders. How do you define it?

aribisala0:
That is not inconsistent with democracy
There is a better refutation

I agree but there wasn't any evidence of any form of democracy ever existing in that part of Nigeria.

Ancient democracy where clans raided each others villages kill or eat their captives?

loveth360:
So how come Ojukwu was still the governor of Eastern region before the war started?


You people have told so many lies to blame Igbos for failure of your Nigeria.



For over five years now Igbos are not close to ruling Nigeria,yet Nigeria have become worst.

Get a copy of the decree, it clearly stated that all the provinces with immediate effect will come under the authority of the Federal government and went on to spell out in clear terms in what cases the government of the provinces may make laws for themselves.
It says for administrative purposes the provinces may do this or that. Find the decree and read it.
By the way, Ojukwu was part of the military council that created the decree and he was ok with it until the July 1966 coup when northerners became the new beneficiary for what Ironsi started.

gidgiddy:
Why do these people continue with their never ending lie? The January military coup of 1966 only took away democracy. Decree 34 was about the civil service, nothing more

All 4 Region's existed under Ironsi with full resource control, so how was your sovereignty thwarted? The only thing that was thwarted was democracy

It was Gowon that came after Ironsi, promulgated Decree 14 which abolished the 4 existing Region's, and created 12 states to replace them. Gowon then followed this up with Decree 15 which ended resource control. It was Gowon that introduced unitary rule by denying you control of your resources

Why can these people tell the truth for just once!

You are talking nonsense. Find the decree on the internet and read it. If you need a translation to your local language that can be arranged.
Ironsi's decree 34 put an end to regionalism. The 4 Regions existed as what? The mere existence of the Regions didn't make them autonomous states within the federation of Nigeria. That is what Ironsi took away with his decree.

Who Jah bless, no one curse........

vanbonattel:
If Abike didn't write the police when a while Oba of lagos threatened to drown a whole tribe in the lagoon, or when Lagospedia threatened Igbo people, then she is a bigger tribal bigot than the unknown woman who was using Amaka as her screen name.

The woman doesn't exist in any live search.

Better say she will soon cease to exist. Bunch of retards.

hammerT:
I GAVE U A CHALLENGE EARLIER ON, TO POST 1 IGBO MAKING HATE SPEECH ON YOUTUBE DAILY.


THAT CHALLENGE STILL STAND.


JUST 1?

You gave a challenge to whom, seriously?

hammerT:
THE REASON THEY RUSH THIS TO FP IS BECAUSE IT IS SO RARE TO SEE ANY IGBO PERSON MAKING HATE SPEECH.


YORUBA BELIEVE IT IS THEIR CALLING AND BIRTHRIGHT TO INSULT IGBO PEOPLE EVERYDAY OF THEIR LIVES.


THE MINUTE OCCASIONALLY THEY SEE ANY IGBO REPLY, IT IS FRONT PAGE NEWS.

Very rare indeed, especially if you are selective about what you want to see and hear.

CatchMeIfUCanMO:
I repeat nothing will happen and if Una do anyhow una go too collect, you sef know whatsup between the two tribes.
This one no be running of mouth as you folks are known to be, a lot of threat has been thrown to Igbo people by your people but you're blind to it.

But this arranged one pained you.

Joe Igbokwe na play for your eyes abi?

Or can't someone create a fake account for such motive?

Cowards, your father and grandfather made similar threats and they never had the balls to carry out just one.
If dem born you well you know what to do. But your innate cowardice will make sure you can never act on your threats.

OfoIgbo:
Of course I am waiting for updates.

This is not the first time Tinubu is using some misguided Igbos.
Joe Igbokwe is the chief of those misguided Igbos.

I will even want the Igbo union in Canada to properly investigate this matter and come up with a press release. The Igbo Union should be in touch with the Canadian police and the woman herself (if she truly exists) and everything ironed out.

If it turns out she said those things, the Igbo Union must insist on the most serious punishment being meted out on her.
This is a perfect opportunity to properly deal with any Igbo-Ronu misguided person.

Nobody is buying your upside down logic about Tinubu. It is what it is.

CatchMeIfUCanMO:
Even though I condemn this in its entirety, and I think it is most likely an arranged work by some enemies to paint a certain tribe bad because Igbo people don't have time for this kind of thing, na una people dey do am well well, nothing go happen to Igbo people in the west, don't even go there.

Yeah, keep deceiving yourself. An Ibo woman was used to paint ibos in a bad light?
Nothing go happen? Just pray to whatever you pray to that no Yoruba person is harmed. A thousand things will happen and no power on this planet will be able to stop it.

Ugly old hag. She wanted to kill people, is she going to eat them afterwards?

Tflex01:
I thought they said the Yorubas are ones behind the video.

That is how they lie all the time.

OfoIgbo:
As you know her face, you should also be able to tell us her place of work.

Or is that a secret to you also?

Or you don't want Igbos to know her place of work, and deal with her?

Ronus, we are smarter than you all

You people and smartness shouldn't be in the same sentence.
Just wait for the updates on that hag.

One of the reasons people just drop dead in Nigeria. Too many junks.

Government this, government that. The things some Nigerians do to each other is beyond wicked.
More than 80% of the hardship you will face on a regular day will come from your fellow citizens.
From buying air as gas to buying fufu as IPhone. To buying ogogoro as Hennessey.
Na wah for Nigerians.

Mental health is a real problem in this country.

Kobojunkieee:
I don't understand. Are you suggesting he was arrested as a result of that?

You can always get in touch with those who arrested him.
I am sure they will explain to you why he was arrested.

Kobojunkieee:
He is an anarchist for speaking his mind in a democracy! Some of you ehn!

Was he just speaking his mind when he said Zulum's son was arrested for murder in India?

Subversion is not part of your rights. If you are one the people making Russian flags for protesters for example, the authorities are right to invite you for a little rendezvous.

They will respond when PO and IPOB says it's OK to do so.
Sad, this is akin to cutting one's nose to spite one's face.

Mariangeles:
I hope say you get rice and wheat farm sha.

He doesn't, those things just fall from the sky like manna. Also, in some other countries their president do the planting for them. Some Nigerians are simply lazy.
