We are people with dignity. some Igbos in police are not even proud of it cos is not a thing taken serious in Igboland.

Praktikals:
Indeed.

What other slogan will they use to console themselves?

BudeYahooCom:
Lmao! Hahahahahahahaha!

Methinks the way they make noise here against Biafrans they'll be eager to fight for the lugardian establishment. Why are they running from 'fighting for nigeria'?

Did you know that this also happened in 1967? I read a British war journal about the Biafran war, it said that yoruba men were 'kidnapped' off bus stops in Ojuelegba, surulere, ikorudu by hausa soldiers and shipped off to war fronts in Biafra crying like babies.

The way they make noise you'll think they have fire on their heads. yoruba can 'coward' for Africa. LWKMD!

Where is victorvexz and omonnakoda? The biggest yoruba chest-thumpers on this forum.

Please post the link to your 1967 story, or provide the source so we can all read it. Thanks.

Galaxie:
Afonja is a name given to a person that is highly hypocritical, a person whose cowardice knows no bounds, or a person who is phenomenal in back biting and very prone to betrayal. A typically afonja can betray just anybody to get a porridge of yam, and is usually very unintelligent because he looses out at the end. The stories are always the same

Ok, is that your own definition of Afonja?? But people who studied history in school, have told you that the man was a warrior. Where did the issue of betrayal come in? Or is that something you fabricated?? Now please tell everyone the meaning of Osu.

ZZ22:
Afonja Afonja Afonja.. How many times did I call you

His moniker is Aigbofa. Why are you referring to him as a warrior (i.e. Afonja)? Did he subdue or conquer you on the NL battlefield?

Funnicator:
Go to helll. Initial garagara. All work and no completion. We have nothing to say until the Daura President completes it.. And when he does, we'll still call him a dullard cause he is one.

Unfortunate it's pains you.

Even if he gets it half done which I'm sure he'd complete, he's better than those thieves who awarded the contract, siphon the money and some IPOBIGOTS voted for them.

Buhari restarted the project that he himself stopped and people are asking us to give him credit for restarting it? What do we look like? Zombies?

Another e-skirmish warming up! Na me go do referee for una, free of charge. Thank God say I waka come with my zobo. Na on top this thread I go match brake today.

Freedom2016:
Useless people...trying hard to tarnish the names of our beautiful, remarkably educated Biafraan women...who sacrificed their marriage, families and careers just to serve this USELESS, ARRANT NONSENSE OF A COUNTRY WITH BLOODY INGRATES! THEY WILL NEVER ALLOW BIAFRAANS TO REST! Today it's Diezani, tomorrow it's Okonjo Iweala, next week it's Stella Oduah, next month is Aruma Oteh, last month was Patiace Jonathan. These are people who helped shaped this country and these wicked people will not let them rest! Instead you have illiterates and unqualified kleptocracts running this country...destroying everything like little kids!

I thought Diezani was from Bayelsa in Nigeria? When did she change her nationality?

FuckTheMod:
Billionaire?

Most influential?

Are you shitting

Nonsense!

No mind dem. All these yeye awards sef, wey no get head or tail...

Unionised:
Try Covenant.

Do not say what you do not know. Covenant University in Otta Ogun State does not even have a faculty of medicine.

Babcock University in Ilishan-Remo has a full-fledged medical faculty and one of the best cardio-vascular specialist hospitals in Nigeria. It is called the Tristate Heart and Vascular Centre, which cost over =N=2 billion naira to set up, according to the school. The faculty of medicine is known as the Benjamin Carson School of Medicine.

The first-generation public universities such as University of Lagos, University of Ibadan, Obafemi Awolowo University Ife, University of Nigeria Nsukka, as well as Ahmadu Bello University all have good medical schools.

One of new universities, University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED) in Ondo, has a full-fledged faculty of medicine and is reported to be dedicated to providing education and research of exceptional quality, in all healthcare-related fields.

Cire80:
This has been the mission of the Igbos and they're already succeeding in Anioma and other minority groups around them. You people use your population to achieve this evil. Sometimes I wonder if what is happening to the Igbos is as a result of how they treat the minority groups around them. This may be karma catching up with you people.

Chimo!! What an epic response!

Timelezz, your insults killed most of the valid points you were trying to make. And that is so sad. LePrezident started on the same track with you trying to match you insult for insult, but soon stopped. OxygenO1 also did the same. All those insults were not just a turn off, but also portrayed all those exchanging it, in a bad light.

Is it so impossible to have a civil discourse on NL devoid of vitriol?? Just wondering.

Cire80:
These towns were never fully Bini of course but Igbo is never the majority constituents. Anioma for example is mixed with many different people but Igbos are on a mission to wipe out any trace of Bini in Anioma land. They plan to achieve this through propaganda and fabrications and if you put their population into consideration, you will understand how simple this is for them to achieve.

I no know say you sef see am!! Each time you bring up any info in public domain, pertaining to the dual heritage of these people, the IPOB-ians would fight tooth and nail, using as much propaganda as they can conjure, to make it seem as if everyone of them came from a single source. I weak o!

Half of the scholars they cite as a back up (not all) are not known in the academia for any kind of authoritative research work, neither are they known to have conducted any sort of investigative anthropological study that has been validated.

Cire80:
Anioma people were not marginalized in Midwest. I know many people from my area that were ministers and also held many good positions in both Midwest and Bendel. Even the Edo States government house is still named after an Anioma man from Asaba.

Biko, please tell them. The late Chief Michael Agbamuche has said this before in clear terms in a couple of interviews. Chief Philip Asiodu can also bear witness to this fact. Late Chief Michael Ashikodi Agbamuche, was former Attorney General and Minister of Justice from September 1994 to 1997.

A trouser?

He actually meant a matching pair of trousers. Get it?

pragbhi:
He has oh! he confesses his love at ep 342 of zee tv, which is 172 of zee world since they merge two episodes. But what annoys me is that he still believes all this petty accusations about her. Its frustrating

On what day did they show the episode where he confessed his love?? How on earth did I miss it??

Aww!! You guys making sly references to me on this thread are just starstruck. Each time you gossip about me, you make me look like a celebrity. The fact that you don't have the guts to put my name in there, means you are in awe of me, really shy or just plain scared. Which one is it??

vicenzo:
Not necessarily so.
Many Igbanke indigenes have Igboid surnames too.
The fact remains that the native word for king in Igbanke is Eze, and not Enogie.

Alright I get it now. You have stylishly dodged my question. Hehehe....

hammerF:
hammerf and Ngozi123 traditional.

Jealousy! Jealousy! I dont care! I dont care!

Una no go take laugh kill person for here...!!

YourNemesis:
lol... You lie....
Isiagu and wrapper is your dresss.
That yeye cloth.

ROFLMAO!! I guess the Isiagu & its' accompanying wrapper went through a metamorphosis, and got transformed into an agbada!!

Cire80:
do you know the history of Ugbodu? These people are from Owo area of Ondo state before the advent of Oduduwa. They are more related to the Edos than they are related to Oyo and Ife. They sojourned in Bini before moving Eastward to their present location.

Guy, you don try, I beg. Just siddon dey look. These people always make me laugh! No matter how hectic my day has been, once I log on to NL, I can guarantee that the IPOB-ians would say something clueless to make me laugh away the day's tension!

I just do not understand their affinity for propaganda. And the way they get so offended when their inaccuracies, lies, fallacy and half-truths are exposed. That is when they unleash their arsenal of insults! A wise man would take correction and thank those who point him in the right direction, but not this lot....

vicenzo:
Means nothing, when we know that there are long list of Ugbodu kings with strictly Bini names, when Bini still had influence over Enu-ani area.
Igbanke is still currently under Edo and hence under lots of influence from Edo, hence those Edoid names.

The word for king in Igbanke local dialect is Eze, and not Enogie, Enogie is a vestige of Bini colonial influence on Igbanke.

With this your theory, you want us to believe this so-called influence is why many of the indigenes as well as the Enogies, also have personal names and surnames that reflect an Edo heritage, not so? We are talking of entire lineages of different families bearing Edo names, o! Aren't surnames supposed to reflect a person's ancestry??

YourNemesis:
I was wondering that as well.
I was smelling a sinister plot, but sha didn't want to talk.

How can Igalas who are still fighting the Ibos over the same issue of land be giving them "free land" somewhere else?
Honestly, who even gives anything free in Nigeria?

IPOB-ians and propaganda are like 5 and 6!

hammerF:
That is Okon in Kogi. Where ever yorubas settle, they fabricate history to claim distinct indigenous tribe and that was wat the Oba was saying.

Besides those dress are not yoruba, they are middle belt and north.

Don't be funny! What proof do you have that they are Okun? Look closely at what they are wearing! I fit borrow you my contact lens make you take look am again, o!

YourNemesis:
Proper Ebira family from Kogi state.

They forgot that more than half of the Ebira & igalas are muslims. Meanwhile the 'nation' of Biafra is meant to be the Christian Democratic Republic of Biafra!!

hammerF:
That is not the question, stop all this invasion. Which one are u now. Confirm!

Why? You want to attach his ethnic group to your own, too??!

hammerF:
The entire Edo and Ebira are coming along to Biafra, we will just cut out the yoruba bits in Edo and Kogi.

Technically, they are our mixed tribe children. Though distinct from us. The choice is for them to make.

Hehehe.... you were obviously high on something when you wrote this! Edo & Ebira will follow who....to where??

hammerF:
Wen will Igala offer yoruba free land? See here.
https://www.nairaland.com/875712/igala-offers-igbo-free-land

You are busy recycling the lie and fallacy that was concocted by your fellow IPOB-ian on that thread??! So you honestly believe the Igala will dash the Igbo free land?? I laugh in Chinese . Please show me proof of Igbo people that were dashed free land according to that article. Post their land documents here, biko!!

Don't forget that these same Igalas have been teaching your brethren a lesson along the Ibaji -Odekpe axis over them tresspassing on their land, with respect to the Orient refinery project.

YourNemesis:
lol..... Have you ever seen an Igala person wanting to be Igbo?
Not me, not anyone.
Igalas interacted Heavily with both Yoruba and Benin,and are religiously plural, just like Yorubas and Edos.
The mask that the Atta wears (oju b'eju ailo) is even said to be gotten from the benins. Some said in a war, others said as a gift.

Ultimately even if we leave Igala alone, they will never be part of you guyz.... Just telling you that now, incase you think you can try anything.
If a referendum is held today, 70% of Igalas will chose to go with Oduduwa over Biafra. Thats just the fact.

Chisos!! See finishing! Hehehe.....

But my guy, you get time o! This issue of Igbo trying to attach themselves by force to Igala was thrashed out on another thread recently, with the same 'respondent. Read all about it here: https://www.nairaland.com/3548923/igbos-yorubas-must-make-peace/1

YourNemesis:
lol, laudate, I sight you.
Tauale!!

Hehehehe..... Bros, how far?

vicenzo:
Asking why the rulers of Igbanke bear "Enogie" title, is akin to asking why the leaders of Nigeria bear " president" title
Both are results of colonization.
King in Igbanke as is obtainable in all western Igbo communities translates to " Eze", and not Enogie.
Enogie is a vestige of Bini colonization of Igbanke.

Re-ea-ally?? You want us to believe this? Is that why those Enogies also have Bini/Edo personal names & surnames?

Igbanke is made up of six autonomous communities namely of Omolua, Ottah, Idumuodin, Ake, Oligia and Igbontor. Each of the six communities has an Enogie as a king.

Four of the clans that already have Enogies, as their kings are listed below:

HRH Dr Isaac Uwaifo, is the Enogie of Omolua.

Another one is HRH Blessing Otabor Igiebor, the Enogie of Idumodin in Igbanke. http://www.ikaworld.com/index.php?mod=article&cat=IkaNews&article=1001 ; http://ikaworld.com/?s=enogie&ixsl=1

The Enogie of Igbontor is HRH Jeremiah Omorodion; and Enogie of Ottah-Igbanke, HRH J.C. Isitor http://ikaworld.com/?s=enogie&ixsl=1

Amen ooo but the family really tried and aimed well for Ibira people but their only mistake is living Kwara for Kogi State. I believe if they are still in Kwara they will have developed more than what they are today because the Igala have pocket them all.
At least they still developed and they achieved all these when they are still in Kwara than their present. The last time I passed through the town it's was so dried and tattered. The most painful thing is that I don't think the descendants are ready to continue their forefathers goals. Thanks for the info

Well, am not sure it was in their power to remain in Kwara State. Don't forget that it was the govt that carved out Kogi state from Kwara, and determined which communities and ethnic groups would be grouped together, in each state.

gerg:
The kings of Igbanke are called Enogie. It would be nice if you provide the author of your write up. Anybody can fabricate stories and post them online

The money spent on your education was NOT wasted!! I once asked this question earlier, on another thread: "Why do the rulers of Igbanke clans bear Edo names?" Afterall, in this day and age, people are free to change their names back to their ancestral ones, if they feel their current names do not serve any useful purpose. Yet they are still bearing their Edo names with pride. Why??

Secondly, do you agree that sons and daughters of Igbanke land bear Edo names like Omorodion, Idabor, Olubor, Osunde, Eni, Ogbomor, Irabor, Oghumu, Edobor, Idahosa etc., which reflect an Edo heritage?

Finally, do you agree that they are no less Igbanke, than those who bear Ika names?

Tidamsel:
I think so 4rm ha surname n 2ndly if u r nt a citizen of a country u CNT rule or b among d appointees or ministers.

Also 1 of Ghana's ex-president bears DAT surname, in person of " Late H.E. Prof. John Evans ATTA Mills"

So dear itz lykly shez a Ghanaian... Hope dz helps?

Stop saying what you do not know, and stop recycling false information. Saratu Atta is NOT related to Prof. John Evans Atta Mills!! Where on earth did you get that one from?? Chai!! Obviously, you did not read all the pages of this thread from the beginning....

FrancisTony:
It still doesn't negate the fact that Zoology is a branch of Biology while MBBS is a human aspect/branch of Zooogy...
MBBS is just a professional course and deeper part of human aspect of zoology...
Medicine students deal with human anatomy while Zoology do comparative anatomy..

Medicine is a second degree because they want them to have ground knowledge from main branch of Medicine...
Same way an Engineering student is expected to have a knowledge in Physics and Mathematics in secondary school...
And other courses likewise..

Guy, medical students not only study human anatomy, but also deal with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and some go further to carry out surgery. Do Zoologists diagnose diseases and treat them? Zoologists do dissection, not surgery...! No disrespect intended!

Hmmm i guess ur name is Laudate Attah?

Very funny!!

Wow...see a family pedigree my head dey swell up like gari as I dey read...the family is the real definition of success and it's still continues

Saratu's paternal grandfather was a traditional ruler, who ruled over the entire Ebira land for about 37 years. He was the late Ibrahim Onoruoiza Atta who was reported to have learnt the art of statesmanship from his grandfather, Atta Omadivi. He was a polyglot who spoke different languages - Hausa, Nupe, Igala, Edo, Tiv, Yoruba, Igbo, English etc.

Under his regime, the late Ohinoyi of Ebiraland - Ibrahim Onoruoiza Atta, lobbied to ensure that Ebiraland was the first to have pipe borne water in the whole of Northern Nigeria. He was also reported to have built the only existing Prison in Okene as well as the Native/Customary Courts, including the first Native Authority School (NA) in Okene. He believed firmly in education as a tool for shaping the future and ensured his own children pursuing higher education, both within and outside the country. You can read up more about his life, here: http://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/tribute/ibrahim-atta-remembering-the-ohinoyi-of-ebiraland-1884-1964/12730.html#KzpPEj85Sejj4tpq.99
