There's this Latin maxim on your profile, so methinks u did Law for the plethora of these Latin maxims in their terminology and vocabulary at their disposal.

Aww so it was a wrong guess.

Reply my pm

I studied English. Close guess though....

modestdude:
Beautiful!!! The last pre post-ume/supplementary form generation. I guess you did Law. Am I right?

Law? No. But why?

modestdude:

Lol,ok. Long live Imo star. I don tey since i grad from there.

Prof Nwajiuba of Life! Imsu no dey carry last. Proud Imsu star.

Don't really understand why Non Igbos wouldn't leave Igbos alone.
What is this delta igbo and south east igbo nonesense going on in this thread? Always trying to cause division amongst Igbo people.
An Igbo name is an Igbo name irrespective of geographical location, besides Nwaeze is a FULL igbo name,period!

ril19:


The name Nweze is Ibo. delta Ibo is Ibo. ibo is Ibo.

please use your head next time

It is not Ibo. It is Igbo! Don't join ignorant people to corrupt the name of your ethnic group.

theshaderoom:


The name Nweze is actually delta ibo but what is your point though?

That's wrong. Nweze is a general igbo name and all the Nwezes i know happen to come from Abia state.

Mekyno:
Can say for sure bt i believe it's in Enugu. Once more, relax, if there is a will there will be a way. My laps are free for u........lol. Hv a nice day

Lol,thanks. I'm applying right away biko. Can someone with a Masters degree apply?

joshuajunior:

I think you should first get the job first. That one would be taken care of with time. You don't reside close to the east?

Thanks. I'm in the east at the moment but no friends and family in Enugu since the training will be in Enugu.

Mekyno:

apply and get d job first, oda tins will fall into places. They cover d whole south east states.
Many ppl get job where dey hv no one naah.
Moreover, i bu nnanne nwanyi, nwafor ......gudluk

Dalu maka okwu a. However,where will the training take place? In Enugu? The training location is the main
cause for concern.

Those of us that have no one in enugu kwa nu(accomodation,feeding). What do we do?
Make una reply.

Besides,all Nigerians and West Africans have discovered the evils in Yoruba men and have labelled them Yoruba demons!
@those of them spewing rubbish.
This is about a wedding in Lagos,i don't know how these demons, foools,tribalists and illiterate manage to turn everything into Igbo vs Yoruba war.
They use Igbo swear for Una since 1914?

All of them are not Yoruba boys.
They are men from different ethnic groups that have come to support and celebrate their friend on his special day.
To the best of my knowledge, Noble Igwe and Ebuka Uche Obi are not Yorubas,don't let the asoebi deceive you.

tpiaobsession:


it's possible.

Supremacist statements like Nri civilized a group of people and pygmies make Black Africans look stupidd and ignorant. Which people did Nri civilize and what does Nri have that others do not have.
The only fact here is that people were already settled in Igboland before Nri migrated into that area and probably displaced a group of people.
It's unfortunate that West Africans couldn't sit down to develop a written language and document their original history.
Igbo people are just a group of people with a distinct identity that probably birthed other people.

What is igbo women feet kwa? There is nothing i wouldn't see here.

aim5:


Why are you quoting me from August? This is a dead topic, so move on.

This is on the culture front page. Anyway,you pay so much attention to mundane issues,so move on. I will still catch you on same issue.

aim5:


I know some Yoruba girls at my university who are light without bleaching.. so I guess that stereotype is smashed.

Nothing has been smashed. Even Yorubas will tell you that Igbos tend to come in lighter skin and eye colour. It doesn't mean there are no light skin yorubas.
If you are assumed to be Igbo then there are features you exhibit which is commonly associated with Igbos.
The problem is that you are obsessed with Igbos and their light skin. This is probably the 1000th time you are discussing igbo features and skin tone. That you saw some light skin yoruba girls doesn't mean anything. Apart from some Northern Nigerian groups, people in the East/south are more or less known to exhibit interesting physical features.

scholes0:


lol, what a load of bullshit....
Until you explain to the world the difference between these fair skinned, hairy, strong and light eyed igbos:







And these very dark, short, bootylicious Yoruba people:







Then you are only demonstrating your stewpidity to the world.

If a non Igbo had answered this question you would have replied differently without throwing insults on that individual.
I don't seem to understand the unnecessary resentment of Igbo people on nairaland. Instead of addressing the Ops questions,you decided to unleash personal attacks on her.
It will be ridiculous if we pretend not to notice the obvious physical differences amongst Nigerian ethnic groups. Whether they come off as steroetypes of not,it is interesting to note that people associate certain physical characteristics with different ethnic groups.
In the East,a very Curvy and Plump woman is said to be like Yoruba/Calabar women irrespective of her ethnic group. A very tall lanky guy is said to look like Fulani people. If you are looking for a girl for a fulani part in a movie,we all know the type of features that will be looked out for. When you meet a Nigerian with green eyes or so,there are higher chances that the individual is Igbo.
More often than not, Keke and Motor cycle operators from Akwa/Calabar region that reside in the East have a rather short stature. Igbos, Niger Deltans and certain groups from the north are mostly associated with light skin and coloured eyes and we can't pretend we don't notice that. Even in West Africa, Ghanaians are known to darker and buffer than Nigerians,it doesn't mean there are no natural light skin Ghanaians These things are visible to the naked eyes.

We may call this stereotypes put there are elements of truth which may not be applicable in all situations.
This 2016,make a resolution to attack the issue at hand not the individual. Calling people stewpid doesn't make you intelligent.
Those random pictures doesn't make sense. I expected clear pictures of popular igbo and yoruba figures for proper comparison. Even Nollywood igbo, Hausa and Yoruba would show you that we manifest different features.

emmysoftyou:
we the people of imo,abia and ebonyi state do not believe that nri is the father of all igbos.
Nri end and stop in anambra state.

Anyway nice write-up.

Cc B2mario,customized13,rarediamond, neduo9 and my mentor Ihuomadinihu and abagworo, abeg come clarify us..

Lool Emmysoft. Anyway this is 2016 and i think it's high time we(igbos) put a stop to these Supremacy claims. I don't know why some of you insist on washing our dirty linens in Public. Nri is not the Father of all groups in Anambra not to talk of the entire lenght and breath of Igboland!
We have told the rest of of you that we don't trace or acknowledge Nri in our ancestral records and that should be respected. It's my earnest desire that we dump these divisive assertions and channel our energy into threads that will uplift our ethnic group this New year.

All black Africans including Yoruba and Fulani are struggling to be part of the Egyptian civilization through a reference to the Neanderthal dna in their genetics,lol.
If you really want us to make researches,you will find numerous connection between Egyptians and all regions of Africa. But to instigate an exclusive connection between your group and Egypt is a No No.
When you say all humans have non human genes,which dna are you referring to?
Apart from Neanderthal and Denisovan,which other Non Human dna exist in Africa?

Fulaman198:


many black Sub-Saharan Africans are not Sub-Saharan.

Then you have to go straight to the point and be explicit about Who is really Subsaharan and their relationship with Egypt.
In your opinion only Saharan Africans now living in subsahara were part of or contributed to Egyptian civilization.
#DontbedivisiveandreasonlikeEuropeans.

Cozy ko? This Toke is only hyping herself. Wetin Trey songz no go see.
Personally,i believe Toke went over to Trey's table to famez him but Trey just decided to quickly hug her and save himself from hearing those yarns. A good look at her face will tell you she is surprised and star struck.
Wetin we no go see from these Nigerian famzers....o di egwu!

The funniest part is that he is from South Africa, a country thousands of Miles from Northern Angola, which as the southernmost reach of Slavery.
The predominant YDNA haplogroup of all Niger Congo groups is E, and predominantly the subclade E1b1b.

It is preset in some sample African poplations in the following ratios

Bantoid Cameroon: 93.3%
Bamileke: 100%
Ghana: 92.3%
Mandinka: 79%
Igbo: 90.0%
Bantu (Gabon): 80.0%
Mossi (Burkina): 90.0%
Kikuyu (Kenya Bantu): 73.0%
Fon (Benin): 95.0%
Nande (DRC Bantu): 100%
Yoruba: 92.0%
Hutu (Rwanda Bantu): 83%
Senegalese: 81.3%

And someone is here claiming what does not exist... lol

I'm really laughing out loud.

@Mr Slave We have finally been able to convince and teach you that Bantu is not a race but a linguistic group that left West Africa years ago. It's interesting how you now decided to compare and contrast the regions with the highest number of slaves,lmao.
Go and sit your Bantu ass down!

We don't care about Bantu slaves or whatever trashy bantu contribution. Slavery is Evil,it is never an achievement. You should really be ashamed of yourself.
The most important thing is that African Americans don't create any divisions or associate with any bantu complex. They identify as African Americans only. For your information, Blair Underwood is Igbo via ''Paternal ancestry'' and a whole number of the people you posted their pictures have a combination of other African genes in them. Slave Lover!

The Bantu post and pictures are not important or beneficial to Nigerians/West Africans. You keep struggling to be part of a Slavery record. Isn't that ridiculous and extremely preposterous?
Anyway, Bantu and their origins/relationship with West Africa is a common knowledge in the intellectual world. Everyother argument happening here is just a waste of time and energy.
Your post and pictures are very inconsequential and irrelevant among experts in this field! :DToo bad!

Why not go to your Bantu forum and educate your people that Bantu is not a race. The more you keep posting here,the more you come off as an idiott!

I,just like other Africans in diaspora don't care about any Bantu slaves that were sent to Brazil or Jamaica. It's only a backward African that will boost of sending more slaves across the Atlantic. Something as Evil and Inhumane as African slavery is not something to be proud of. It has already happened and those guys have moved on to embrace their African identity irrespective of any Bantu majority trash you are trying to instigate.
The Last time i checked,non of them were even proud or spoke of bantu,they don't care about your existence.
They just identify as African American and move on.
Keep your Bantu trash to yourself,bantu is not a race!

CAMNEWTON4PRES:


What is west African ? You call alanwemne dumb, yet you are trying to compare a linguistic group according to you and a geographical region ? Does that make sense to you ? What do bamtu share with Mauritanian or Gambian ? Who are in west Africa ? The answer is nothing . I'm q firm believer that Igbo are bantu, but this your Wes af -Bantu connection is nonsense and baseless. Igbo are isolated bantu group in west Africa(which is even subjective) . and like alanmwen said you can't compare Bantu with Igbo , you will only make a fool of yourselves .

When you understand the clear and unbiased meaning of the word 'Bantu',you will understand that Igbo,Yoruba etc are not Bantus. Bantu is only a Linguistic unit of the larger Niger Congo group.

CAMNEWTON4PRES:


I don't buy the dutch account and then again the adaption is not particular to south Africa , anyone in botswana can have the same features as anyone in south Africa without having ever setted foot in SA . by that I simply mean him sseing Bantu entering in SA (modern or not?) does not negate my point don't forget we were talking about Botswana, and the same setup exist all over southern Africa (from Zambia to south Africa)

After all said and done, Bantu is still and will keep being a Subgroup of the Niger Congo linguistic family of West Africa. It's not a race or ethnic group.
Take it or find your way out of this thread.

Phut:


Ihuoma, Igbo's also use Ose to mean God (as in Osebuluwa/God who has the world in his hands)
