I would say that the strongly individualistic nature of Igbo precolonial societies actually worked better for them than the supposedly better organized societies that existed elsewhere.

I mean let's be serious, monarchy as it is practiced in both pre and post colonial Africa is simply a wasteful and prohibitively expensive style of governance with latent dictatorial tendencies.

The present sorry state of politics in Igbo land has more to do with the warped and inverted value system that ALL Nigerian politicians operate under, regardless of tribe or ethnicity.

omonnakoda:
Well ,his clansmen had bent went he was in exile .

Yoruba say
Moja Mosa laa n mo akinkanju
Know how to fight
Know how to flee
That's the one that's truly brave
This statement refers to starting fights

My take is Ibos developmentally never evolved any form of political administration beyond the village level.

They have little understanding of statecraft and often act individually in an impulsive way heedless of consequences and unable to restrain their egos.

Those traits that serve very well for village level politics are destructive at the national level when facing larger and better organised adversaries .

Okonkwo personifies a strong Individual incapable of subordinating his pride and ego to reality

Same as we saw with Ojukwu in 1967 and more recently Nnamdi Kanu

Negro was still considered a polite terminology back then (unlike its ugly counterpart Nigger) Even Martin Luther King and Malcolm X used the word when referring to people of African descent.

omonnakoda:
Struck by the fact that both men still used the term " Negro"
Aged 30 and 34 Hmm

PhDs are sold and bought by the highest bidders these days. Nigeria's entire education architecture is a sick joke.

qwertyboss:
Seriously!
I had one GSP lecturer who often say " actually eventually " regardless of the context of his speech and up till today I don't know how those two words collocate.
Imagine he is even a PhD holder

You hit the nail on the head! They will brandish that Certificate everywhere, but when you hear the backstory of how they got it, you'll know that 90% of the so called certificates are just worthless pieces of paper

bigdammyj:
That was when Education had meaning/value. Phonetic was a pride then
Today, it's all about the "cert"

O boy, listen to the articulate use of the English language by these gentlemen. But if you hear some so-called lecturers speak English in our present day universities, even in the English language department, you'll be feeling like muzzling them.

22-year-old tennis superstar Naomi Osaka has been named the highest-paid female athlete in history, surpassing Serena Williams by $1.4 million and earning $37.4 million over the past 12 months. Osaka also bested the $29.7 million record set by fellow tennis player Maria Sharapova in 2015.

The Japanese-Haitian tennis star raked in $37.4 million from prize money and endorsement deals, including a deal with Nike worth over $10 million that does not require her to wear full Nike-branded apparel during her games. She is backed by 15 endorsement partners ranging from Nissan Motor, Shiseido, and Yonex, with nearly all of them pulling in seven-figures each year.

David Carter, a sports business professor at USC’s Marshall School of Business, explained to Forbes why Osaka's career is surging. He stated, "To those outside the tennis world, Osaka is a relatively fresh face with a great back story. Combine that with being youthful and bicultural, two attributes that help her resonate with younger, global audiences, and the result is the emergence of a global sports marketing icon."

A recent interview with American comedian DeRay Davis proves that not all pedophiles are men. The comedian recently went on popular YouTube channel Vlad TV and said he lost his virginity at 11 years old in a party with two 30-year-olds who were his mother’s so called friends.

[img]https://images./2hqy6ErBEnsDHj9ILuE79L.jpg[/img] [img]https://images./6agWcjfYz9AezeWlTDoMpf.jpg[/img]

In a 10-minute video recently posted to the site, at around the 6:00 mark, Davis starts talking about his experience after the interviewer brings up the sexual assault charges that are proliferating in Hollywood and refers to them as “the apocalypse.”

“I’ve been as a young guy … my mother’s friends ... my mother was involved in a lot of stuff. But I’ve had older women … that have taken advantage of me.”

He called them two “ugly, horrible-looking women.” He said he was “11 going on 12 and had no hair on me.” He called it “disgusting.” He said that to this day, it’s difficult for him to “go down” on women because of what the two women did to him as a child, adding that they forced him to perform MouthAction on their "extremely hairy vaginas"

He called the women’s vaginas a “scary jungle” and a “terrible place to be."

And though someone in the background laughs and Davis smiles, this really is no laughing matter.

We are thankful to him for sharing his story and hope that he has dealt with his sexual assault—because what happened to him was a rape—as a child.

A petroleum minister cannot educate 4 children abroad if he's depending solely on his salary as a petroleum minister, especially in a country like Nigeria of all places.
Sigh. It's so disheartening how the boundary between dishonesty and stupidity is getting more and more blurred every day.

Simplyleo:
Yes, he was the petroleum minister in 1977 and petroleum minister in 2020.

Yet, clowns were screaming how he got money to sponsor his children schooling abroad.

So a one time head of states and petroleum minister cant sponsor his kids education within his legal income anywhere in the world?

Quote me and see, na ata rodo I go pour for your face.

He's driving at the fact that Europeans ended slavery at least a century before this clip was made in 1930, while Arabs still continue to buy and sell black slaves even to this day.

Empiree:
Always looking for something to criticize. This was 1930, almost a century ago. Arabs had their issues. White had their worst. Black themselves had their issues. So i don't know exactly what you are driving out of this?.

abduljabbar4:
Of course, since you rata-rata chanters can't take on Zakir naik, you resort to insults.

By the way, the monster that ordered the rape of thousands of Canaan virgins and even asked the warriors to keep some for him is the real rapist. Go and read your original Testament. You know, the one where your bloodsucking Yahweh reveals his 'jihadist' tendencies

Our friend debunked the numerous claims by idiots like Zakir Naik that the Quran contains scientific knowledge which was unknown at the time the illiterate child molester revealed them. That's actually very clear to understand by anyone with an IQ over 5

abduljabbar4:
Your friend said the Quranic claims were debunked, and yet he keeps telling us that the claims were copied. That's why he isn't making any sense.

Its hard to believe that people who believe in pastors healing the blind and raising the dead, Dancing and PRETENDING to faint have so much issues with a group of people that Prostrate before their Lord. It surely makes more sense than your "papapapaparatatatata" machine gun chants /incantations to me

Goodbye

You mean the Quran which says that sperm is produced from a man's backbone? That is the book you want me to trust when it comes to human reproduction? You people love setting your prophet up for ridicule

abduljabbar4:
One thing to love about the all knowing is that He doesn't care about what the infidels expect. BTW the Quran didn't only mention those six listed by the op.The Quran also talks about the development of the baby in its mothers womb and atoms/cells. He should "debunk" them as well

Copying what others have known for thousands of years before you were born does not make you a prophet, it makes you a plagiarist.

If religion was like a school exam your prophet would have been flogged for stealing other people's achievement and claiming them as his own.

agbolahan1991:
All praise is to Allah....
For you to go through this length so as to make Findings...
Kudos to you bro
More Greece to your elbow...
What you should take note is that.....
All this fact where unknown in the then mecca... Prophet Muhammad (saw) is not educated or literate...
He was born into trading not into seeking knowledge...
My question is this...
if truly he was not sent by Allah or u don't believe in AL Quran Kareem...
HOW DOES AN ILLITERATE AND UNEDUCATED PERSON HAS KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THIS....

Biggie82:
What you have failed to address is how the transmitter (pbuh) of the Koran, who was not a learned man by all accounts could have figured out all these scientific facts all by his lonesome self. Please keep your blasphemous thoughts to yourself.

Kestolove:
d guy didn't even make sense

Bitterness? Is the fake god I am flogging complaining about anything? he is quietly collecting his koboko like the criminal he is.

u11ae1013:
I sense bitterness from your name @op, but remember, the real Nnamadi Kanu wish he could apologize from his grave but it's too late

For what? She is a normal Yoruba woman.
