van bonattel: Yoruba keeps envying igbos, wishing they were as good as igbos, you go quench for ya hate!

We give these creeps something to live for.this thread was started by a yoruba claiming to be an igbo man just to get our attention

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]funny you said that.....they had to fight to get it. they won but it took three attempts and a boatload of canonfire on their pale behind. They erected a memorial afterward narrating their losses.

Royal Navy did not fight alaigbo....they only sent some traders skilled in selling salt and ivory to overpower your land and declare it territory of Royal Niger Company. no memorial anywhere tells of their losses on your land or in hausaland.

we might be calm and reserved...we got firepower.[/quote]The Royal Niger Company suffered untold casualties trying to capture igboland. All they had to do to get yorubaland was to give your kings mirrors and ogogoro.

When the british started shelling lagos island they found that you guys were quite dumb and easy to kill. They would launch shells from their ships with a timer fuse that would penetrate the marshy earth and yorubas would rush like ants to the crater and get blown up. The british knew yoruba intelligence levels well and took thousands of you that way.

bittyend: But did the Benin's buy clothes from the Ijebu's? That's the question, answer that and stop posting epistles. Dammit!

bittyend: Go eat ya mom's filthy and wall-less puzzy, gorilla.

Better still get busy with your long arms and jump from tree branches, gorilla.

Phuck off!

Lol! Small boy with multiple personalities playing e-soldier. Aye aye e-captain

bittyend: The clothes the Benins wore back then were sold to them by the Ijebu's. I doubt the Benin guy on the thread will dispute that.

Y'all have always been primitive and next time I see an ibotic gorilla say shiit, I'll unleash everything I have got saved on my PC.

Two can play that game, primitive gorillas.

Keep starting ish you can't finish, mofos.

How far Shytemmex/Batty-end/brixtonyute? How is your split personality coming along this morning

PhysicsQED: These are not intended to be depictions of Igbos, but are meant to be depictions of Binis at Ughoton ('Gwato'), except for the colonial soldier or carrier standing by the British man, who would probably be Hausa and except for the black man with the European hat, who was probably a guide from an Itsekiri or Ijaw area. As you can see in the image, the black faces, including that of the black soldier or carrier who is with the British, look like unpleasant caricatures. The drawing is from a British illustrated weekly newspaper called The Graphic and is from 1897, following the aftermath of the Benin massacre. The illustrator that drew this particular image, according to the newspaper, was C.J. Staniland, a popular illustrator of the time who never went to Benin and drew the images basically from his imagination. Ironically, many of the written accounts from visitors to Benin over the centuries have positive comments about the appearance of the people both in terms of physiognomy and clothing. Even Alan Boisragon, one of the British survivors of the "Benin massacre" of 1897, described the son of the chief of Ughoton who received him and his group when they got there as "rather a nice-looking youth."

The washing of feet was ceremonial and seemed to have something to do with both welcoming/purifying strangers and paying homage to Oba Esigie, the king of Benin who was most fond of Europeans and European ways:

'On entering the country or the town, there was the curious custom which compelled a stranger to have his feet washed. Before entering the city, Legroing and Balon had to visit the captain of war, and have their feet washed. (Landolphe, I., p. 332). Similarly, Mr. C. Punch writes me: "On landing at Guaton, we were received on the top of the bluff by the Ahuraku and his suite, and a great point was made of our having our feet washed by them at a place sacred to the memory of Assigie, or Asije, the king of long-ago, first connected with Europeans. A very ancient brass bowl was produced for the purpose. This appeared to me to have been a bit of old Portuguese repousse work, and was always left lying about in this place devoted to Assigie pending the arrival of some European." It will be remembered that all the members of Phillips' party had their feet washed at Gwato.' - H. Ling Roth, Great Benin, p. 123

[Whether the brass bowl was actually Portuguese or not is questionable, as it's not clear if the Portuguese were making and exporting repoussé brass bowls for trade. It seems to only have been Cyril Punch's opinion that it was Portuguese, though it could easily have had another African or European origin.]

It does not seem to have been about "worshipping oyinbos."

Very interesting stuff. You sure do know your history

Eko Ile: So you are trooping into Yoruba land because Enugu is a beautiful town? You sound very re.tarded.

So UNN and palm kernel was all your lazy leaders handed over to the next generations including you re'tard.?


You are not a good ibo advocate, leave the stage and let one of your other marginally competent ibo brothers handle the mic.

Typical lousy yoruba response, you puzzyfoot around my questions and pick on things that only bigoted clowns like yourself can enjoy and applaud.

Get it into your one track fuji singing skull, nobody in his right mind troops to yorubaland, ppl are drawn to the hub that is lagos. I have told you to stick to your areas of competence such as copying and pasting pictures of fashola drinking tea or something. Yes enugu is beautiful go hang yourself if e pain u.

Only an ignoramus would call palm produce, a multi billion dollar worldwide industry , "palm kernel". Modern malaysia was built on palm crops exported from the south eastern part of nigeria. Of course ignorance is bliss in your neck of the woods. But don't change the topic, why is yorubaland a one-state region - lagos and a host of glorified villages upon all una 18th century success

Eko Ile: I've hard all the silly chest beating before? Tell me what your people did in iboland before the war? Your leaders were incompetent then and they still are today and this is the reason why you eave to leech on other people. Your past leaders before the war didn't not provide for you and the present ones don't give a damn too.

Let me ask you again. What are they doing with all the taxes and monthly allocations they collect? Why is it that only ibo states have nothing to show for tall their taxes and allocations? Is there another civil war going on in Nigeria today that's preventing them from doing anything for ibo people?

Are you not even ashamed to ask questions that YOU have been asked or you want to start the yoruba tradition of drowning out common sense with acres of bullshyte? It aint working tonite. Enugu is today a beautiful city despite the war and it has been done with federal allocation and hardwork why is ibadan a filthy huge garage weas there war there too?

The old eastern region gave us UNN and was the largest producer of palm oil in africa among other achievements. Imagine a yoruba calling hardworking igbos leeches, not surprised though you guys are known worldwide for lousiness and barefaced hypocrisy as exemplified in your omo onile industry

Eko Ile: It's always the same stupid excuses. iboland was bleeped up and neglected and undeveloped by your so called achievers before the war when the west was delivering the firsts in Nigeria and Africa.

After the war, there's been ibo vice president, governors, ministers, directors, SGN, ministers, party leaders, senate leaders and reps leaders. Your states collects taxes and allocations juts like any other states in Nigeria so the question is, what have they done? What have hey delivered? Quit with all the silly excuses.

Lazy people and lazy leaders..

What I find most amusing about yoruba bigots is that you all read from the same template like zombies and spew the samee gibberish with enough confidence to overwhelm the intellectually challenged.

Yorubaland except for lagos is a shytehole despite all your own ministers, president o!, governors, speaker etc. Abi na igbos cause una poverty

Cities like enugu were startlingly beautiful before the war came and bombed them to dust. many of the structures put in place by michael okpara that survived are still visible today. The subsequent regimes were either too corrupt or tribalistic to reconstruct the east or even yorubaland for that matter. Check ota roads after obj's reign and u will understand.

At least the east was the theatre of war. What is your excuse.

Its a no brainer that in the world today more people live in urban centres and it happens that lagos due to the combined contributions of all is a major urban area in the country so your yoruba bigot template needs to be reviewed so you all don't end up sounding alike and infinitely daft

NRI PRIEST: Wow,this is still going and some of my Igbo brothers like DEDE whom I have deep respect for also fell for it! Very shameful...I am really holding myself from placing a curse on the creator of this divisive thread but I pray that they grow up really fast.

The creator of this thread is the godfather of tribalism on this site.he's very good at his job of playing devil

alj harem: if you think I created a thread like this after not being on NL for so long then fine. Now you just confirmed my observations about Anambra Igbos, btw when I say Anmabra I mean the core Anambrans of nnewi, Awka, and co.

Very funny, what observations have been confirmed, stop dribbling yourself because you look more naked with each response.

So now you were referring to "core anambra". Are you this slippery? I didn't believe it was possible even for u

alj harem: LOL I did not create this thread nwannem. BTW my observations are true, so correct me if I was wrong

What observations are you talking about bros? That you feel anambra ppl feel superior to other igbos. It goes to show u created this thread. I am from idemili north in anambra state and I have many friends from imo and abia especially. The issue of one states people being superior to others has never been a topic for discussion not even in a passing joke. In the minds of our enemies maybe but not among us

alj harem: its been time. How the * did I miss a thread like this very funny though

Manny and afam very mature responses.

Nice thread my guy. You are really good at creating divisions and strife

Eko Ile: A dependent ibo society and generations after generations on the magnanimity of other people and their land for survival. You have a worthless land that even your own people don't want to stay in and the ones that stays gets kidnapped by therir own people for money so When you people say enormous achievements, what exactly do you people mean?

Dude stick to topics and skills that you are expert like lapping at tinubu's butt crack to make your monthly cheques appear.

Igbo land was devastated after the civil war and survivors gravitated to other places to make a living after the war especially as there were no reconstruction or putting in place of basic infrastructure. Common sense is not common in your neck of the woods it would appear.

This response is not for you because you are a demon with no hppe left for your soul. Other people who are not aware should understand this

I've never seen a man so dedicated to spinning cheap pulp ethnic conspiracy theories and farting them into cyberspace for consumption by an anaemic mob of shallow unemployed bigots. Ride on!

Nuff respect sir. Fact is that tinubu and company pay these social media hacks to continually launder their image on the internet. Unfortunately once there is any criticism of their employer they tap into powerful and despicable tools like tribalism. These people exploit distrust between ethnic groups especially yorubas and igbos to divert attention from the issues in discussion. Either by starting an e-fight when they hurl invectives to call out igbos or just plain label you a pdp member because they know people of the south west hate the pdp with a passion.

I was a card carrying AD member in 1999 in my university days but when tinubu paid his thugs to pelt the late honourable gani fawehinmi at igbosere high court i discovered the kind of man he was.

Pastor Kun: I got the story from www.naijahottestgist.com and it's a web site owned by a Yoruba man. That aside must you people always put a tribal slant to everything you discuss in this politics section Tribalism is a major part of what is wrong wih Nigeria and you are a part of it. And before you start throwing tribal slurs at me, kindly note that i am a Yoruba man as well. I just abhor tribalism.

Dem fine o! I nearly marry one when we been dey school

fatdon2: I think am gonna get married to one of her daughters.

Tinubu has covered these tracks very well. It'll be hard to pin these on him

Who do you mean when you say biafrans

noblezone: For the up-tenth time, we are calling on Southerners (esp Biafrans) to lea leave the Jihardists enclave.

The killings will never stop and there is nothing Government can do about it.
Except if it is possible to take over the mosques and change them to schools and that will never happen.

Leave the North en mass and that will naturally split Nigeria.

He who chooses to remain will have their blood added to the Arabic River Blood of the North!

Says who? The greatest writer to come out of africa and another upcoming titan whose book is being made into the first Hollywood movie to be shot in nigeria. Dey there dey swear and curse

Desola: Lol...ariran meji nilu awon afoju. Only two partially sighted people in a nation of the blinds.

The same way the skin-heads and BNP will come together and descend on your people and their means of livelihood in the UK at the right and inevitable time

[quote author=geez*]They are only rehearsing on how they will unleash their terror on your sorry asses. At the appropriate time, they will partner and we will turn them loose on you[/quote]

The guy drives like a lunatic. I hope the guy he hit isn't too bad for it

The Lagos State revenue collection drive is frighteningly efficient and ruthlessly thorough. Obasanjo created a monster by wickedly starving Lagos of funds and giving moral authority to then Gov. Tinubu then as Governor to turn Lagos State into a money making machine.

Tinubu almost overnight chose to be a step ahead of the rest of the federation. But I bet don't need to concession public infrastructure to afford execution of capital projects like roads or bridges

naptu2: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1036417

You call the greatest writer to come out of africa, a sad bitter man? He may be sad and bitter about the way his country has turned out and the things that led to this state of things but one thing for sure, the man has spoken the truth.

coogar: awo's free education failed? then i have no doubt you have the brain capacity of a slug.

the free education awo provided catered for the south west was way before jamb! when your own grand fathers were concerned with investing in cocoa pods, youths in the south west were busy schooling and producing doctors and professors in multitudes!

besides, jamb enrolment statistics does not prove the south east has any dominance - the graduating stats is a more balanced view of who has actually passed through the 4 walls of a school not who enrolled and dropped out to start selling spare parts @ alaba market!

there's no leader like obafemi awolowo in the history of nigeria - his achievements should be a template for any aspiring leader - chinua achebe is just a bitter sad man who should let sleeping dogs lie. he should direct his anger to ojukwu who led millions of people to their early graves because of a senseless war he poorly prepared for!

My brother, your uncle was one in a million! A fine officer and gentleman who was known for discipline, honesty and principles. A humane person and monstrous chess player. May his soul rest in perfect peace

aminho: may the soul of my uncle rest in peace..i dnt care what you say about him he was a good man

Tribalism really makes ppl more stoopid with each passing day

Not just hausas and igbos. A yoruba paddy man of mine joined about three years ago. Just goes to show what it takes to be a superpower state. They can easily attract nationals from all over the world to join their armed forces and indirectly have a very sound leg up just in case they need it

Eyaa! Why always me

Says who? Who makes the rules regardng how a person sees himself? You?

The guy is blessed not to be an extremist like you just let him be.ppl like u bring sorrow, division and loss with that type of mindset

baysol: There is nothing like Yoruba-Igbo stop deluding yourself. It is only natural to be born by both parents from different ethnic group but you can only belong to one. Oil and water can never mix in Yoruba abd Igbo case.
