rectifiedsorry
i was only replying this post on the igbo tribe thing in freetown

mukina2:
where did i say Ojukwu is not Igbo?
I said one of my uncles have Ojukwu as his middle name but we do not have any ties to igbos.

Oku is not Krio, its the language being spoken by the people of  Fourah Bay/foulah tong/Aberdeen.

This flew over your head right?

You people should stop  claiming everything with Similar Igbo names.
and there is nothing like igbo tribe in freetown

KnowAll:
We must recognise one fact, there are a lot of stateless Lagosians, Stateless because this is the only state they ever knew, in some instance some had all their education in Lagos, Primary, Secondary, Uni, even NYSC by virtue of the fact their parent's state is not Lagos. To deny these people who in some instance are Igbo, Efik, Ijaws, Edos , hAUSA the right to claim a city, in fact the only city they ever know is a crime against humanity. How can somebody be pointed towards Oturkpo in Benue State, or Brass In Bayelsa State because he/She did not have a Yoruba name, to say it is scandolous is under-stament.

The Following people grew up in Lagos but had to go back to their parents home for recognition because of the salient view Nigerians of Yoruba stock would not see them as Yorubas


Donald Duke - Grew up in Ogunlana Drive Surulere, is a Surulere bOY

Samson Siasia - Is Boundary, Ajegunle, olodi Apapa boy

Wande Coal - Taraba BOY - But real Mushin homie

Tuface original from Benue - But grew up in Lagos,

why should any of these guys not have the same rights like Yoruba's  in Lagos.

Kanu is a very common name in Sierra Leone as well. (Looks at EzeUche_)

Igbo descendants have been president twice in Sierra Leone. Irony.

Christopher Okoro Cole
Yahya Kanu

Why would you visit 'random' people? Oh creoles (Sierra Leone, Liberia, Caribbean, US)! No longer need for any bitterness!

sbeezy8:
kanu is a name shared by alot of people from different countries

Colonel Yahya Kanu, an ethnic Temne;

Temne people with the name kanu
Alhaji Andrew Kanu
Ahmed Kanu,
Colonel Yahya Kanu

igbo gal nice one sef i kno kanu is not only an ibo name cause ive met different people with the name kanu but from different countries as for okoro ojukwu girlllll you igbo well atleasst you uncle is haha how does it feel.

I personally only highlighted the yorubanames cause there aint no confusion there people in Ogun and Lagos state will tell anyone that their ancestors were egba slaves from who came from freetown at the end of slavery

FACE:
Although he is not Igbo, his name was likely inherited from Igbo slaves that were in Sierra Leone.

Schon was a German missionary who learnt a variation of Igbo (Isuama ) in Sierra but was soon disappointed when he got to Igbo land because that variation was not readily understood as it was highly adulterated.

Ajayi Crowther was next and he also learnt Igbo in Sierra Leone and actually went with Sierra Leonan Igbo men (Simon Jonas and Taylor) on the second expedition and they acted as interpreters. I can't recall now but I think Taylor was later ordained to remain in Onicha. Although the Isuama Igbo was not widely understood they still based their first publication of bible texts in Igbo on the dialect.  

My point is that his name "Obi" has the roots in Igbo land, but Igbo language and culture in Sierra Leone was not carried forward.

ezeagu:
Are you doubting me?

Chaaaiiiiiii! Are you Igbo? Heeeeeaaaaaaa, I don't want to know the answer!

How can "Rivers" Igbo not understand Anambra Igbo when many Ijaw people can understand Anambra Igbo? Did you say slaves? Are crazy? Did you just say there was no Igbo union before the Biafra-Nigeria war when there was an Igbo union in the 19th century in Sierra Leone? He le o! Politicarry corase will not kill us.

jason123:
After the first paragraph, I stopped reading.

THE WEST AND SOUTH DO NOT THINK MUSLIMS ARE ANIMALS OOO! my own dad is a muslim but he does not take it to the extreme level the northern muslims take it to. Infact, my mother is still a christain and the islam religion was not imposed on her. The southerners respect muslims and we demand that the respect should be reciprocal! How many times have they heard southerners killing muslims? Why is it that the killing only occurs in the north?

Toaskarity:

henry101:
3rd world War surely would be trigerred by North/South Korea conflict with China and Russia standing the be intimate with by. We ready for North Korea.

If South Korea is American puppet, what would you call North Korea r/ship with China and Russia.

Sun of god:
The most likely cause will be because of South Korea becoming to bold and provoking the North into action.

Look at the way they are behaving - American puppets.
