By love - you mean you really like the fact that he has enough resources to take care of you, your needs and wants. You are looking for a man to slave for you so you can stay home and breed. Ko?

An indirect way of saying Moyes was NEVER the man for the job. Abeg leave Moyes alone - abi has he not left England (to Spain) for you people?

That's the evidence that you need. It only involved a little google search.

Not impressed. - you don't need a civilization to built that - a crew of 12 men would finish that in a week at most. My little nephew and niece build more impressive sand structures when they go the the beach. Even the 'pyramids' (mounds) in Zimbabwe are far more impressive. Now see the Egyptian Pyramid shown below - now that takes civilization - 10s of thousands of man hours.

@bold...isn't the ancestors of the Yorubas supposed to be Oduduwa (i.e.the bini prince Elkhaderlan) who supposedly 'fell' from the sky? Where did the Yoruba migration from Benin republic supposedly take place?

are you daft? Do you really believe some guy fell from the sky? The Binis are Nok(ians) who migrated South and took on the language (old Urhobo) of the majority tribe in Niger Delta at the time. The Noks (and by extension the Binis) are the original Nigerians. Everyone else entered from somewhere. The so called Hausoids came in from Niger (kneejare), akpu-eaters from Cameroun and later from Bini; the amala-eaters from somewhere West Africa probably Benin Rep (and also from Niger (some say Sudan)). When the amala-eaters came into Nigeria the saw that the Bini's were already established hence the 'story' that connects them to Bini.

Video or Idonbilivit. Gerrout.

Great - I see the amala-eaters are tired of hearing Mr. Kanu and IPOB threaten to shed their bloods. Jaw Jaw is easy War War is hard now we know who is really ready for war.

Amala-eaters and their dangerous politics.

Graphic pic or Idonbilivit. Gerrout.

Where did this fool come from? Common basic primary school geography he doesn't know. You are disgrace to the great Bini people.

When this becomes an established and published fact, maybe only then will you realize your folly.

Not likely because it defies logic and known migration patterns. Those of us who are conversant with Nigerian/African cultures know that phonetic semblance does not an origin story make. The akpu-eaters entered Nigerian from Cameroun - and became Efik/Ibibios before the became Igbos. The amala-eaters entered from Benin Republic with their language (known today as Yoruba) and expanded Northward towards Oyo and Kwara. Then their Empire spanned back west past Benin Rep. (again), towards Togo and current day Ghana. So tell me how did the amala eaters and the akpu-eaters share a common origin? You are not making sense, dude.

The first Igbo civilization of Igbo Ukwu came into fore in the 9th century when iron casting and bronze casting were flourishing and the Igbo-ukwu artworks were created, at a time when Europe was still in the dark ages with no visible progress, and of such great quality unrivalled by no European artwork of that time. The Igbos also built pyramids which no Yoruba tribe was documented to have built. Ife was to establish itself 300 years later.

When we speak of great African empires, the Bini empire comes readily into mind, with its influence stretching over thousand of miles, across some parts of Yoruba land to Lagos (Eko in Esan dialect). Oyo empire does not even come close to the Bini empire or the influence that it wielded.

Where is the proof of this pyramids? (Show pictures of the pyramid and please not some mound built by ants -Thank you) STOP lying. Yes the artifacts date back 9th centuries but it was nothing but a village civilization. This artefacts were only found in one spot in current day Anambra. Where are the other artifacts in other parts of the even the SE that should a widespread civilization? And what is so special about a 9th century village civilization when Nok culture that spreads through the Plateau of North Central Nigeria dates back to 1000BC?

No one is saying the amala-people's empire was more significant than the Bini empire (even though it was definitely more wide spread geographically), just stating a simple fact that the amala eaters' civilization is far much more significant that the akpu-eaters' village civilization known as Igbo Ukwu. QED.

Anyone who says that the Igbos 'FOUNDED' the Ijaw communities is an absolute fool.

The so called Igbo-Ukwu civilization of the akpu-eating people was not really a civilization. All they found was a few pottery with decent intricate designs. That a civilization does not make. But nobody disputes the civilization of the amala-eaters. Even those of us who love to hate them admit that it was very substantial. A civilization that spread all the way to current day Ghana is not something to be minimized by claiming that akpu-eaters who were living inside dug up holes somehow spurn this people and culture. Again, the bulk of the amala-eaters have their original somewhere in Benin Republic, they carried the language (known today as Yoruba) into Nigeria from the WEST. The claim of an original from the SE of the akpu people is quite laughable to be honest.

The amala-eaters did not originate from the akpu-eaters. Its impossible. While the amala-eaters built huge civilization centuries before the advent of the Europeans, the akpu-eaters were living in dug up holes all across South East Nigeria. In fact, the Oyo Empire created by the amala-eaters is considered one of the biggest pre-colonial civilizations in Africa. The amala people's language is far more comprehensive and far more detailed than akpu people's language for it to be an off-shoot of it. The Most of the akpu-people originated from president day Cameroun they are actually descendants of present day Efiks/Ibibios. The rest of them originated from Benin via the Onitsha axis. All those so called Delta Igbos are actually descendants of Benin. The so called Olunkunmis are brothers of Itshekiris who originated from Ondo State - they are NOT akpu-eaters. The amala people MOSTLY came into present day Nigeria via Benin Republic and Northern Nigerian through Kwara. Kwara used to be Hausa-speaking until the Oyo-empire invaded and colonized it. Most of the Amala-eaters in Kwara, Kogi, Northern Oyo used to be Hausa speakers before the advent of the Oyo Empire.

what tribe would that be ? tribe called quest ?

See this amala-eater running his mouth - please go and tussle with your akpu-eating enemies and let sleeping dogs be.

Jagaban the amala-eating Slayer of Political parties and opponents. I hail o. This guy is a badt guy. My tribe needs someone like this.

Wow wow the amala-eaters have really showed the akpu-eating flattheads who REALLY owns Lagos. This is the problem with these chest-beaters. They gave you access that no other tribe enjoys and you starting running around saying their land is a 'no man's land' whatever that means. Now they are showing you that its 100% amala-eaters. Akpu-eaters have this problem, wherever they go. Meanwhile, they will never appoint any non-Igbo in their part of the country. My advice to akpu-eaters STOP claiming other people's lands, go and developed your erosion damaged region of the country. My advice for amala-eaters banish these chest-beaters from your region, ONLY a fool accommodates his sworn enemy. Their leader Mr. Kanu has consistently called for the blood of amala-eaters to be spilled wantonly in case of a 2nd war. They hate you with a passion, you are a fool for making life comfortable for them. In the North they disciplined them, to the point that now they are well behaved and nice.

Racism is not new but I understand how you feel. You simply paid for the sins of our brothers who have tarnished the image of our color but I'm glad you didn't make any trouble n that's mature. Just move on bro

Rubbish - there is no excuse for racism. The real sins were committed by whites stealing, raping, torturing, murdering and enslaving countless millions of Africans. If anyone should be a victim of racism, it should be the whites not their victims.

Ikechukwu in Agbor, Edo State?

stewpid girl

Jagaban - been there done that. What a Legend! Wish my tribe has such a dominant leader!

Give it to the amala-eaters though - their culture is the most resilient in all of Africa.

Physics is No.1.

This one is a Bini woman. The amala-eaters, their cousins, will not be pleased at all. Amala-eaters why do you and your cousins love disgracing the name of Nigeria? Granted not half as much as the way the akpu-eating flattheads do but disgracing all the same.

This smells suspicious. The amala-eaters are definitely cooking up something. They want to have a record of Lagosians simply to let the akpu-eating flattheads know once and for all that their claim of being the majority in Lagos is an absolute fraud. There are other political reasons behind the move but I need to think more of those. Don't trust amala-eaters. And akpu-eaters are not even Nigerians but Biafrans so they don't count.

This Igbo man has made the Igbo NLers happy today - but why does the press keep referring to her as SHE, HER?

Shocking!!!
Could it be that a demon told the guy he needed heart transplant to be free frm failures of life..

Sometimes this stories don't come complete, this kids sometimes act what the parents configured them to OR possibly Karma playing her part.

Well, demonic kids will not be our portion.

No such things as demon - its mental illness

untreated, unmanaged or even unrecognized mental illness.

Look here. You are a Nigerian and you are here displaying your passion for English football clubs. Arsenal you love. Chelsea you hate. When was the last time you showed passion for an African team not to even mention a Nigerian team? I have noticed a disturbing trend of young Nigerians (aka our future leaders) displaying passion for the affairs of people who couldn't care less about their existence. They are busy hyping up foreign clubs while neglecting their own home made products. How did you think Arsenal and Chelsea became big? Do you think they became big by English men supporting league teams in Brazil and Argentina? If the Europeans did not embrace and support their teams how will they become a force to be reckoned with today? But I am very conversant of the typical Nigerian mentality. You go around the world bragging about how intelligent and savvy you are but simple supporting your own league teams you will never do. A few decades from now, many of these idiots in their 60 and 70s will still be running around feeling pain, joy, sorrow and sadness over the result of a premiership league game while they will never even tune in to watch a single NL game. Keep helping another man to build his business and lets see if your children will not become slaves to his children. BUILD YOU OWN. BUILD YOUR OWN. BUILD YOUR OWN. I don talk my own. Shikena.

Let me just say God ain't got nothing to do with it. The poster above me is a comedian.

Shekau why are you hiding. Is your God too small to protect you. Come out and lets do hand to hand combat you and I. One knife for each of us and lets see if you God will save you from me not to talk of Nigerian military. You are a coward!

Bukola Saraki where you dey? Ole! This people here might be able to help. Oya contact them o.
