Mortgage

Am I the only person that doesn’t like the idea of mortgage? Paying for a house for the next 30 yrs, I want to own the house immediately. What if I don’t feel like working for the next 30 years, or I want to stop working after 10 years? Because of mortgage I will na stay hooked.

It’s a mortgage not a blood oath. You don’t want to be locked in? Pay it off or sell the house and go back to renting. A mortgage system allows middle class families to own homes and property, it by far beats a system where only the wealthy can own property and the rest remain landless serfs

Don’t turn this into a fight thread. Go and perform your internecine squabbles elsewhere

Such an asinine post. As others have pointed out, where is the evidence of this collective industriousness in Igbo land? It doesn't exist.

Why?

Igbos are an individualistic people. There's nothing wrong with that (to a certain degree), but that doesn't make you a great partner when it comes to building up the collective. An igbo man will strike wealth, build a marvelous house in the village, but won't fix the roads that lead to said marvelous house because it's the government's responsibility and not theirs, and why should they fix something that will be used by others as well. They're not wrong, but it displays their thinking, which is only caring about themselves and not the larger community.

Even with your very long meaningless epistle, I can tell you something for free. IKWERRE WILL NEVER REGRET NOT BEING IN YOUR BIAFRA.

Igbo people were stealing Ikwerre people lands and allocating only to Igbos in perpetuity, immediately the British created and handed the defunct Eastern region to them. This intensified immediately Biafra was declared when they started to brazenly invade Ikwerre farmlands and declaring them as ‘biafraland’ because they had guns and others didn’t. Many of these invasions were led by some Igbos who had hitherto, lived in the communities and doing menial jobs for the indigenes. Today, the same people will be feeding their children with complete lies and half truths.

Ikwerre elites were killed and some incarcerated. Igbo people were renaming Ikwerre towns and villages using their control of government. 95% of the appointments were Igbos.

You think that making Ijaw to appear like Ikwerre enemy will make them want to become Igbo but it will not happen. Ikwerre along with the Ijaw and other minority ethnic groups in the defunct Eastern government had already started agitating to be seperated from Igbo people even before independence.

No one is going back to Golgotha!

This is the absolutely truth. The Ikwerre chiefs where I'm from were buried alive by Biafra soldiers. If Biafra succeeded we would have been made slaves to these people

Makavelli001:
Who no ikwere in 1968?
Those people in that video are not ikwere.

Ikwere only started identifying their self as a distinct tribe after the war to avoid the wrath of feds and ijaws.

Haha You're insane

You Ipods and your revisionist history. The irony of it all is that before the civil war, Igbos would be the ones to remind you of your Ikwerre/ minority status. My Source? My older Ikwerre relatives that lived though the civil war

This is some low IQ shit lol.

When these people start dying from a new Ebola type disease, better not cry to Europe and the USA to save you.

There’s a reason humans can eat cows, goats, sheep, etc. Thousands of years of domestication and selective breeding of these animals to make them palatable livestock

This is one thing that fascinates me about groups like IPOB, MASOP in the Ken Saro Wiwa days. You pay lipservice to using violent means to upend the current order, rule of law, while at the same time expecting the same rule of law to save you when things go sour. You cannot serve two masters. Boko Haram are violent terrorists, but at least they're about that life. They don't expect the courts, international communities or NGOs to save them. It's either the actualization of their goals or their death.

Food for thought for the unruly among us

observanc1:
keep fooling yourself. There are only 2 tribes in Rivers - Igbo and Ijaw

Ikwerres will never be ibo/ipob. Know this and know peace. Fail to heed this, and you’ll be shocked when your people are dealt with

socialmediaman:


I don’t think he’s stupid. It’s possible he anticipated this happening, and wanted to use statelessness to prevent being deported

Good take. On first read, it seemed like a case of a hubristic professor that either misjudged the efficiency of SA systems or misjudged the amount of enemies with an axe to grind I.e. his ex, but your post makes me see how the renunciation could have been a strategic move if he anticipated this happening, and wanted to stymie deportation

MXrep:

While you were struggling with primitive monarchy igbos have already evolved into advanced democracy. If monarchy is good why was it overthrow all over Europe? Only Britain still keep theirs for ceremonial purpose only. It's the backwards monarchist mentality that keeps Nigeria backwards

Fair. Throughout history up until 100-200 years ago, the men that made the history books were monarchs, warriors, conquerors. From Charlemagne to Napoleon. Alexander the Great to Louis XV.

My question should be who were the great Igbos from precolonial times? Names that show up in the history books, I couldn’t name one, so please assist me

Maybe my question should be were there any renowned precolonial Igbos that ended up in the history books? Statesmen, warriors, anyone?




Btw for the people citing the USA, the USA was once a colony pledged to the crown of King George III, and eventually George V before the heavy handedness of the crown with it’s taxation and other matters led to the revolt against the crown

rogueztx:
Yorubas are very funny people and inherently self centered. Same Awolowo wanting to keep Lagos in the Western Region, supported the separation of Port Harcourt from then Eastern Region into the so-called region known as SS today.

Yorubas should understand the effects of politics of separation. Had Lagos been separated from Western Region, the owners of Lagos aka Aworis, will deny their Yoruba root, not because they don't want to be Yoruba but for political exigency and relevance. Federal government would have supported that like they do with former estaern Region territories, to keep them separated from Igbo and easy to control.

Same way Kwara was separated from Yorubaland and the Yoruba there as a unit, not individuals, do not identify as Yorubas. They identify as the Northerners. Same thing with Port Harcourt, a well know Igbo town, shies away from identifying with Igbo to stay relevant.

Port Harcourt is not an Igbo town. It's an Ikwerre city!

I've been perusing the various texts on the precolonial kingdoms that existed on what is called modern-day Nigeria, and I'm surprised to see there are no renowned Igbo monarchs. By renowned, I mean a ruler similar in stature to Oduduwa, Oba Oranmiyan, Alaafin Shango, Oba Ewuare of Benin, Sarki Abdullahi Burja of Kano, Sarki Yaji of Kano. Does anyone have any examples?

Please no tribalism

Bendeco2020:
I don't blame them I blame Igbos that are forming liberal for those people.

If am the president or chairman of Ohaneze Ndigbo, I will go ahead and fix the Igbo day celebration let them do their worse. The fight they are looking for, they will get it.

Being gentle don't pay in Nigeria, Igbos should learn when to fight back brutally to those that hates them so that next time they will know that Igbos are not their match and choose their fight wisely.

They're are lucky that they have boundry with calm Imo state, assume they have boundry with Anambra, anytime they want fight they will receive it.

Looks like Ibos didn’t learn enough in 67-70. Don’t worry, you’ll learn this time

Tranquill:


Ikwerre don’t speak dialect of Igbo language but Ikwerre language. Maybe Igbos speak a dialect of Ikwerre language I don’t know.

Ikwerre doesn’t have the same gods as Igbo. Amadioha is in Etche and not Ikwerre. There is more that defines one’s ethnicity beyond the bull.s you have stated but importantly, YOU CAN NOT FORCE IT!

Exactly! These people trying to foist themselves on Ikwerres annoy me so much

NotMagicBishop:



Shut your nigger ass up.


See this base commodity nigger claiming white .


The feral niggers in the US are all descended from you ohus

You and Akata people are one and the same that's why there is hardly any behavioural differences between the Niggers in Jacksonville , Alabama to that in Akwuzu, Anambra.

You’re a bit brash in your delivery, but I think you’re on the money. I’ve also noticed the similarities between American blacks and Igbos. Both groups are head-strong and unwilling to compromise, which is great when you’re trying to achieve a lofty goal, but terrible for politics and working with other groups

Story for the slaves joyfully embracing their chains..

That you graduated with first class perfect CGPA isn't a proof of wisdom.. you are running to live like a slave in the White man's land with the hope of getting all the goodies of life there. Tomorrow one white kid will see you, get infuriated and end your life in a brutal way or maybe it's white Police that will kill you.

Nigerian police don’t kill people anymore?

APOPTOSIS:
America never forgives.
Avoid Crime at all cost.
It's truly a land of opportunities.
That's one country I know where someone can walk in with an empty wallet, a bottle of groundnuts and torn clothes and leave with genuinely acquired wealth.

Just avoid Crime and keep raking the money gradually. It may seem tough at the beginning, of which such is expected for any country but you must surely smile in the end. What I made in America in one year was more than what I made in Nigeria after 10 years of working in the Federal civil service. So pathetic Ogaaa.
I pray you recover from this mental distortion.

2 Things God will surely tell u to avoid in the U.S.
1st...Avoid Bad women @ all cost ( If possible all ladies)
Finally......Avoid Bad Company and Crime.
Thereafter, watch yourself glow with pride...

Exactly, people come here and see the unmatched potential to gain prosperity, and lose their minds if they don’t have discipline. That lack of discipline sways them towards making fast money. Nothing that comes fast lasts, from gaining knowledge to love to wealth. Gradual, intentional accumulation always beats fast money grabs

The Jews are not your friends. Africans are the only group of people that kiss their ass.

I couldn’t care less about the Jews, just find it hilarious to see a black person using neonazi talking points

AuschwitzPrefec:
Slavery

More Goyim tax slaves .

This is the same situation in Canada if not worse.

But why anyone will see the JewK as a place to migrate to beats me .

Same Jewk that as late as the 60s the average Brit could only afford to take a hot bath once every two weeks .

If not for the 0koro coup of Jan 15 and the follow-up senseless 0koro instigated civil war that benefited British and Rothschild through war debt reparations, JewK would still have been a glorified serfdom.

In 1983, the Thatcher govt under the advice of the same instigator of the Nigerian civil war -Baron Victor Rothschild, backed a coup in Nigeria which saw the demon Buhari assume power and pay off all of Nigeria's civil war debt in one full swoop so as to bail the JewK out of an economic depression ochestrated by a spike in oil pricing. Fast forward to 2015, Buhari was brought back to finish Nigeria with more senseless debt to Jewish banksters so much so that the Jews in both London and Jew York own Nigeria.

Nigeria's case is so sad. A proud people who fell for Jewish tricks.

A Nigerian antisemite!?

There’s nothing you can’t see under the sun hahaha

YoungLionken:
You lots take jokes too serious ..

I have seen a bride posted "na mumu dey fall in love" and another "I came for the money" ..

It's all cruise . This type are usually the best ...

My brother, these niggers have no idea how annoying their fake accents sound. They deserve some brain resetting slap !!

Fake accent? Sounds like an Igbo accent. Are you saying he’s faking his Nigerian Igbo accent?

Didn’t know the n-word and “you lots”[sic] were part of the Nigerian lexicon

As an Ikwerre man, I will say it is the hubris of ibos that cause their issues in Nigeria. An Ibo man will go to heaven, and try to lecture god on the creation of the earth. They think they're smarter and wiser than all men. Good for you, but your lack of humility and know it all attitude is why every group will continue to stymie you

ChatterHouse:
Why are you this foolish

Ikwerre is Sub-igbo

Sub Igbo? Who are the ibos to say the Ikwerres are a mere cave-out of them? In other words, a lesser version of them?

We are Ikwerre-Ikwerre! You Biafrans better take note

I’ve repented from my Igbo bashing, but these people keep on tempting me

TheBillyonaire:
Increasing interest rates and tax rates due to inflation is basic, but at the moment, the inflation is not caused by excessive liquidity in the system so mopping up liquidity is not a good idea.

More people are not able to fill their car tanks, generators and those are indicators of rising cost of energy, that does not look like a country with supplusity of cash as a driving force on cost of living.

What Nigeria needs is developing and sustaining manufacturing and exporter capacities, massive construction drives and developing our tourism to keep currency flowing through people's hands.

So, BoA is called Bank of America and should focus on America.

This is the pov I’ve been searching the thread for. Hiking the interest rate is a useful tool when inflationary pressures are caused by excess liquidity, but Nigeria’s inflation is almost entirely caused by supply side disruptions.

Cost of living and interest rates have gone up abroad too. Despite the hardship in Nigeria some will still give birth to more kids

Exactly, people still popping out children they cannot feed

Maazieze:


Anything related to Igbos seems to pain you, you've wasted you time posting for 5 years about igbos, doing your best to drive a wedge within our nation. your mouth must smell to high heaven with the sewage coming out

I believe the smell you’re referring to is coming from your mother’s unwashed vagina

Ikwerres are not Ibos! I will say this until I am blue in the face. The narrative that Ikwerres disassociated from Ibos after the civil war is a farce. The men in my Ikwerre village were the ones that brought in the federal troops.

The Ikwerres are as Ibo, as a Frenchman is English. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk

WoroSeeWoro:


That is why i say they are a sub igbo tribe ....anybody that speak a.language that have elememt of igbo is a sub igbo tribe ..ikwere own is so obvious

Are the French a sub-English tribe, or are the English a sub- French tribe, since either language has words that show up in the other?

Otunbakayce:
Just another ikwerre slowpoke! You are all ibo people.
If you think you are not, then stop bearing Ibo names.

Ibos and your imposing attitudes. Imagine telling someone what their identity is lol. There’s a reason you’re strongly disliked by most Nigerian groups. I’ve said enough
