NNAMDI KANU IS GETTING OLD.


IS NOT EVERYTHING HE SAYS WE WILL DO, ONLY THE ONE WE LIKE.

BIGGIE IS A BIAS YORUBA MAN.


AM NOT SURPRISE, I SAW THE WAY HE ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED TOBI TO RAPE CEEC IN LAST SESSION BBNAIJA.



IT IS HIGH TIME ONLY YORUBA GO TO BBNAIJA.

pazienza:
Interesting.
No one except Ijaw supremacists took Asari serious in his claim of Ijaws enslaving Igbos, especially when many Ijaws of that era were even Igbos themselves. Think Of Jaja and Oko Jumbo. Additionally, Asari himself is paternally Igbo, as his ancestor migrated from Abam in modern Abia state.

Asari was only seeking for public attention with that outburst. Nevertheless, it's good you tried to set the record straight by providing adequate evidence backed rebuttal to his verbal diarrhea.

Good job.

Nwanne u are too much...


much respect...

BLACK WOMEN SOLD INTO SLAVERY ARE THE WORST ENEMY OF THE BLACK RACE.


SEE AS THAT BLACK WOMAN SIT-DOWN THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT NIGERIA POPULATION REACHING HALF A BILLION.

IF SHE IS SELLING HER YANSH TO WHITES FOR HER DAILY BREAD, KHAFFI IS A PROUD BLACK WOMAN,ENJOYING HER HOLIDAY IN HER FATHER LAND.


IN FACT, GOD JUST CURSE BLACKS TO BE STUPID, I SWEAR.

Abdul05:
ofcourse,you're right

2023 presidency will destroy Nigeria.


The way Yoruba are going about it have cost so many to lose their life already.


They even supported Buhari thinking he would die.


This is 2019, from Abiola to unfair and many more blackmail will be rolled out by Yoruba media to claim right of Presidency 2023.

Abdul05:

You can bet your @ss on it! We will enslave you all over again from where Ijaw, Igala and Fulani left off.

Ooni said we are inseparable. You believe?

Hahahahaha!

U are funny.

Nobody have enslaved the Igbos but the gods.

We had our own fair share of slave raiders but the British got to Igboland in the 1800s.

MelesZenawi:
Am not here for semantics or pipe dreams neither do I engage in such.


Adios.

U know wat i said is true.

Just this week, in far away London, Adeyinka Grandson was arrested for call on Yorubas to attack Igbos living in Lagos and SW.

I dont want to post pictures or headlines of other Yoruba figure threatening Igbos with genocide and even going as far as saying Igbo land will be nuked. Statement such as this are very hard for people like me to forget.

They are too many and that is a topic for another day.

MelesZenawi:
Alright wait for the invited guest to arrive so you guys can argue it.


At the end make sure the argument bring dividend of democracy and food on the people's table to both side of the divide.

Man must not live by bread alone.

We still have time to know wat is going on with our country, people and lives.

MelesZenawi:
There was never a time such was believed, is only your mind that believed such because you allow your inner recess to be acted upon by mere words.


If you believe that lion is goat then you can believe anything, it doesn't matter who you are.

Do you know that we share country without knowing wat binds us together as a people.

U have people who have shared border villages for nearly 1000years call the other enemy and not knowing they are actually brothers that became separated as clans?

Look at Yoruba and igbo, we share many linguistic similarities but never cared to explore wat we have in common and how we are related.

This was why Awolowo killed three million igbos and yoruba constant threat of genocide against the Igbos.

I think if Yoruba came in contact with nuclear bomb, Igbo land would be in grave danger.

MelesZenawi:
Finally this research is scanty of details to disprove asari as am not in anyway in support of such statement but that has died a natural death to be resuscitated again.

For what gain please?

One man's work can't disprove unless collectively verified and agreed.

This thread is of no use.


The asari topic is a forgotten issue.

The research is more than the lies Asari Dokunbo told on youtube with no work of authority as reference.


Secondly we have a minumum of three refernces up there.


The historical date and figures have been clearly stated.


In Asari comment, wat dates or figures were mentioned?

MelesZenawi:
Waste so much energy writing nothing and arguing rubbish.

There aree many definition of time and one of them is this thread.

Paper upon paper has not solve the problem of manner.

Africa as a continent is a tragedy while their leaders are double tragedy who has no atom of hygiene.


We have modern day slavery and someone is still researching on history as of old.....sorry.

Ndo.

And, it is all because we have refused to learn.

We dont even know who we are as a people.

How can we progress wen everything we believe is lies?

Seun mynd44 lalasticlala obinoscopy please do send this thread to the FP to correct the wrong historical account presented by Asari and placed on FP here.

People deserve to know the truth.

How can Asari come out insult the whole Igbos and nobody checkmate him.

If u dont correct a wrong statement made publicly, it will become fact to the lazy intellectuals, who will cite it as an authority.

MetaPhysical:
Chei!
Come see community gathering. The who is who of nairaland.

Guys, it is learning about your neighbours time.

Let us get to know our dearly beloved neighbours.

The coneheaded structures@ work

Jokes apart...

My best advice is, if u can leave Nigeria, do so immediately.

Even as a child growing up, the adults felt a need to scare us with funny custom each time we head to the village and u have evil Nigerian movie.

I now know fear stop me from getting up to head to toilet at night. I bed wet as a child.

But as a country, Nigeria is a scary place full of wickedness.


I can no longer spend a night in any hotel in Africa. Fear no go let me sleep.


This started with the south african hotel.

..

All the tribes located in the coastal areas were actively involved in slave raid and the slave trades.

From the Efik to the Ogoni, Ijaw, Itsekiri and Bini.

It is a fallacy for any group actively involved in 'human cargo trade' to say none of their members were sold.

It is laughable because, they also sold slaves from among their own people to Europeans Slave Merchant.

Quick recap; these are the videos of Asari Dokubo erroneous claims.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqpLxsQTsas

Clearly we were all affected by slave raiders and no group was exempt.

The idea that coastal ijaw or efik were exempt wen Hausa in the far North still ended up in America as slaves is a fallacy.


American Judge Glenda Hatchett shares maternal genetic ancestry with the Yoruba and Hausa ethnic groups of Nigeria.


The Oba of Benin Kingdom sold alot of captured Ijaws, Igbos, Urhobo and Bini people into slavery.

NIGER DELTA ORAL TRADITION AND HISTORY
shrines on their original settlements that are sited in the
center of the island between the Atlantic and the Akassa Creek.
The original settlements are named ama-ogbo, central town or
town center. The reason for locating the towns away from the
river was clearly to escape the attention of pirates and slave
raiders.

The village of Elem Bakana in the Kalabari area is still
located in its old site away from the river. When I visited
the village in 1964, the men sang songs in which they suggested
that it was necessary to ensure that even the smoke from their
fires could not be seen by canoes passing on the river (Alagoa
1972: 140). Elem Bakana, as well as the neighboring villages
of Bukuma, Obonoma, and Udekama, may have been raided by
Kalabari slave dealers. These communities were of a different
culture and spoke a language different from the Kalabari. But
it would appear that raiding took place even among Kalabari-
speaking communities. Thus, the traditions concerning Agbaniye
Ejike, King of Bile, who ruled in the eighteenth century, state
that he raided and sacked all the neighboring Kalabari commu-
nities.


In a praise song to King Amakiri of Elem Kalabari, the
savagery of Agbaniye Ejike is contrasted with the constructive
leadership of Amakiri, who extended his authority by serving as
protector of the threatened communities (Alagoa 1972: 139).
In the western delta, the Ijo communities were placed in a
peripheral position in relation to Itsekiri and Benin. In
response they preyed on the trade of these two kingdoms,
sometimes supplying slaves to Itsekiri. Ijo piracy is reported
in most of the accounts of European visitors to the western
delta, and Ijo traditions confirm these piratical activities as
well as the supremacy of Itsekiri in the overseas trade (Alagoa
1972: 25-83).


The Kabo, for example, were notorious for their
piracy on the Forcados River. The Erohwa, an Isoko group, were
driven inland from their old site on the Forcados close to the
site of Patani, one of the best known raiding communities
(Hubbard 1948: 96-97).


There are few, if any, published accounts of European
raids for slaves in the Niger Delta, or indeed, on most of the
Nigerian coast. The Portuguese were more directly concerned
with the business of collecting slaves in the Congo, Angola,
and the Senegambia. A tradition among the Kabo suggests that
the idea of European raids for slaves was not a far-fetched
one, however. The Kabo account of how they lost control of the
slave trade on the Forcados River to the Mein group relates to
fear of European raids. During a period of low water, a rumor
spread that the Europeans would come up the river in the
following flood season and capture any persons they saw
(Hubbard 1948: 186; Alagoa 1972: 74-75). The Kabo proceeded to
dam the river and to divert it from their settlements. By the
following flood season, the river had been effectively rechan-
nelled through the territory of the neighboring Mein.
