Igbo kwenu...
Am very sure most tribe wont see this ''Even the bitterest adversaries of the Igbo cannot but admit that, as a people, they are very resourceful and ingenious. Indeed, this has often been the cause of their envy and dislike by others''.....

Well, dont worry, its same hate the Israelite get till date buh we will always forge ahead till we get to the promise land....

What's this Nonsense about others hating igbos? Who isn't being hated in Nigeria? Do you not hate others?
And then you compare yourself to jews. ..as if Hitler 's hate for jews represents the whole world
Pls get sense and stop playing victim. .it makes you appear weak and clueless

firstolalekan:
Believe me brother, try Islam. We have many answers to your questions.
Just give a trial and insha Allah, your soul will be redeemed.
God bless you.

Make me sef advertise my own


@OP, heed the word of the Gods, Repent and revert to the ways of your ancestors

Radoillo:
Also, I think I have to restate that Falashas do look different from the average Western Asian (i.e, the Arabs of Asia). Falashas have the Horner look. Apart from being darker-skinned, they also tend to have more frizzy hair, though not as frizzy as a Southern a Nigerian's.

I had a Saudi roommate last year. He says they have loads of Ethiopians in their country, and they call tell them quite easily from their looks. I can tell them apart very easily, too.

You know Ethiopians are diverse right? But sure one could spot an Ethiopian amidst arabs just as you could spot an Hausa amidst Igbos

RasslerSoulton:
Looool! Clearly we have different views on this. Why is it that some Scandinavians don't practice their Viking cultures but are still ethnic Vikings? It's not about practicing the culture mate, I believe it has everything to do with ancestry.

Again I ask, who are the original Berber and why?

Well at least you didn't argue against my statement of "white" berbers (like Zidane) having Turkish and Arab genes hence polluting the "Berber" in them both biologically and culturally

First there are sects who still uphold certain Viking rites, and no other people practice the Viking culture. What would you think if non descendants of the old vikings had picked up the Viking culture? Certainly not what you are saying now

Radoillo:
What is this about 'Semitic' look? There is no Semitic look. Same way there is no Indo-European look. Those are just language groups. The dark-skinned Ethiopian Falasha is every bit as Semitic as the lightest-skinned Saudi.

Really there's no look that defines the whole bulk of any group of people speaking similar languages
Not even a small ethnic group

But when I say a non Semite looks Semetic I mean "having features that can pass you off as a native Semetic speaker eg. Arab"

Falasha Ethiopians might be dark but they aren't as different from a Saudi Arab as you seem to suggest
So you would prefer I maintain better specifics than just " Semitic "?

RasslerSoulton:
You're right, the white Berbers are called arab Berbers, and they speak Arabic and or French. But after that,I disagree with everything else. So if a black man from Congo starts speaking old Norse and praying to Odin and all that....he is suddenly a Viking? Again the same thinking that's plaguing my people today.

Actually yes. Being a member of an ethnicity is not based on ancestry alone but assimilation and orientation.
If a German was to speak yoruba and worship Orunmila I'll consider him a brother

You seem not to realize that these "white" berbers have more Turkish, Levant and Arab ancestry than original Berber

Fulaman198:
To define a Berber is hard for me here is how I define a Berber

1. Can they speak an Amazighen language? If yes they are Berber
2. Do they practise Berber culture (Amazighen culture)?

The pictures i linked the dark black berbers (Zanati Berbers) and the Medium complexion Berbers (Siwa Berbers) both live in remote regions and speak their Berber languages.

The so-called white berbers don't even often speak the lang or practise the culture. They are Westernised.

What's this about white berbers? I believe if you don't represent the identity of the people then you aren't one of them
Berbers aren't white so there's no such thing as white Berber

Most of them have more non-berber genes in them

RasslerSoulton:
If you say the Berbers look Semitic I'm inclined to agree with you because they are arabs, basically. Agains the fulanis do not look Semitic, they have their own unique look, a fulani man if he were pale would not look like a Semite.

If those dark fulbes truely have Mande link then the fulanis definitely adopted their language from them because the Mandes speak a Niger Congo language, based on how the fairer fulbes look, their original region is definitely further north from there and therefore could not have been the true speakers of fulfulde. Hausa in Nigeria is not an ethnicity, it's a tribe.

I won't say they are arabs but unique. .looking like Arabs yes but their own people. .
Anyway all Berbers don't look the same. ..some are very much like Nilo-saharans of Sudan (this I have seen)
Africa is just one diverse continental I tell you

But most light skinned fulani I've seen don't look like your typical negro...they would pass for a native Semetic speaker

Can you please explain more about hausa being a tribe(not an ethnicity) in Nigeria

tonychristopher:
Oh Mr history

Is it the oduduwa sky fall or is it the benin man that is a oduduwa or is it the wandering man named oduduwa which type of history are we talking about

I will prefer not to have history that make a jest of myself

Now which history again

If you wanna know about Oduduwa pleas go through the appropriate chanel - Initiation

tonychristopher:
Yoruba will claim and distort every history because of fallen oduduwa

But you igbo don't have history

Fulaman198:
First and foremost there is no such thing as looking negroid, secondly there is no such thing as looking "Semitic" as it's a linguistic group.

The Fulanis that look "stereotypically" black (when I say that I mean non-Sahelian) are Rimaybe typically speaking meaning those who are not truly of Fulani origin as you know there are many Fulani people of Mande descent (like Juldeh Camara).

If you want a good idea of the true Fulani look, look at us the Mbororo'en and other groups further north like the Wodaabe. Ayub Diallo has the look too. A Fulani knows a Fulani when he/she sees one.

Why are you in such denial? There's a negroid look just as there's a Caucasian look. ..and it goes beyond skin colour

By Semetic I mean looking like Arabs and other native Semetic speakers with the skin tone and curly hair - Berbers have this too, btw my use of the term wasn't out of place at all

I believe you are saying those fulani looking "really black" have a Mande link. ..Hausa too maybe

I used to think I knew a fulani on sight

Fulani just don't have a "look"

Some look very negroid others Semetic

The way forward is for those with enlightenment to get up and do something

Obiagelli:
like this, the cows look good and smart. Smarter than some tanoids I have seen

you must be very stupid to say this about human beings just because they belong to another party

italo:
Oduduwa has no meaning abeg!

And he didn't fall from the sky!

Lagos is no man's land according to Lagos Govt. Hit your head on the wall.

pls tell us the meaning of Igbo. .. bush people
You are just a pitiable underdog in African civilization, a people without history

Because I refuse to tell you the meaning doesn't = it has no meaning. .. go and learn yoruba language and get initiated if you want to know about Oduduwa

Lagos State is Awori, Ijebu, Egun with scattered Owu settlements along with Saro and Aguda but there's no Igbo
Go hit yourself on the wall cus Lagos is yoruba
Of course you being an idiot with an underachieved history would wish to claim a prosperous land that doesn't belong to your father

italo:
Imadoduwa and Izoduwa are the same name. Same meaning.

Tell us the meaning of Oduduwa in Yoruba and if it is the same as Oodua.
Even the word "Yoruba" is a name derived from "Yoruba," the slave name your Fulani slave masters gave you. Not so?

You are still displaying the same stupidity
1. You don't speak Bini...so you don't know
2. Those two names are different, they not only mean different (although similar) things
3. Lemme use examples here, seeing as you are born to be stuupid - Ian and John mean the same thing
But I can't be named John and answer Ian. ..same way an Imadoduwa cannot answer Izoduwa

I don't need to tell you the meaning of Oduduwa...go and learn yoruba language if u want to figure the name out

another false claim by an igbo iidiot...Yoruba is a name given by the Songhai of Mali
Btw It's actually the yorubas who slaved fulanis not the other way

italo:
Whether I'm Edo, Igbo, Hausa, Nupe...or even Japanese.

Binis colonized Lagos. Fulanis colonized Ilorin.

I don't know why these simple truths are making you contemplate suicide.

No it matters that you are igbo

In all this earth only you igbos don't know your origins and claim anything that seems attractive, today it's israel, tomorrow its Egypt. in all southern Nigeria, only you disregard your ancestral Spirituality, and in all africa only you have lost so much of your identity and are fast becoming westernized, in all Nigeria it is you that pick a fight with other ethnic groups

You need to go to ur disgusting quaters to face your problems and stop attacking others. ..
But you won't do the needful, you lot prefer to just sit in one corner to attack Hausas, Fulani, Ijaw, Edo but mostly Yorubas. ..you know what your problem is? Jealousy! An underachieved people who prefer to attack others by calming history for others while your history is dead

Anytime you foolish people want to attack yoruba you do it with fulani or Bini why not face yoruba directly? Underachieved wasted people


Why not open a thread on Oweeri or any town, let's read your history if you even know it wasted bunch of silly people
You come here insulting a people that are better organized tthan you

The only fact here(one that can be verified by simply going down to these places and conduct a research.) is that Bini warriors settled in Eko and were received by the Aromire (an Idejo chief)..today the Bini lineages call the Aromire lineages by "onile" meaning "land owner"...the Bini lineages in Lagos today do not call themselves Bini but Yoruba. ..Oba Akiolu today is a Yoruba man of Awori stock

italo:
1. Binis know the difference between tales and reality, however importantly they might take the tales.

2. Imadoduwa and Izoduwa are the same name/have same meaning.

3. Are you saying Oduduwa didn't fall from the sky? What then? He trekked from Mecca?

look at this fool that doesn't even understand Bini proclaiming two obviously different names as one name answered by one man
I already told you that bigotry would shrink your intellect. ..look at the stupidity you are already displaying

I already told you go and do the needful if you are so obsessed with Oduduwa

liberty300:
"It will take much bloodshed to straighten this country out & I don't believe it can be avoided"-Malcolm X said this on Nigeria after his visit to nigeria 1964. 1967 war broke out in nigeria. Now the question is: is nigeria straightened out yet? Or do we need to experience more bloodshed

As horrible as it may sound. . A struggle for change that might incite bloodshed is what Nigeria needs

real change not all this apc change

my main issue with the nation of Islam is that they are simply confused and delusional. ..more so than regular Muslims of other sects

islam is not and can never be a tool for black emancipation. ..Islam is actually a tool for slavery - especially against blacks/Africans

italo:
1. Binis know that is a fairy tale. They separate fact from fairy. Their history and Tradition is very detailed. There's cultural and archeological evidence all over the place.

Yorubas call Oduduwa's skyfall a fact because they are too dishonest to admit that he came from Bini...or that they don't know where he came from.

2. Imadoduwa is Izoduwa. Same name.

shut your mouth you idiotic fool.
who are you to speak for Bini?

Bini are very traditional people and take their tales very seriously

again I would tell you that Yorubas don't claim Oduduwa "fell" from the sky(note the word "fell" is inappropriate). this is a recent claim by foreign scholars who were told anything by elders to get them away

if you want to know about Oduduwa so much, go get initiated
an uninitiated outsider like you cannot know such things


so you are so stuupid that you cannot tell that those are two different names?
if you wanna claim something be consistent and stick to one

italo:
You mean Bini Prince Ado came to be King over Aworis and just because Binis and Aworis were friends?

Tell that to the Marines!

lmao you this igbo fool. .. to think I actually mistook u for a Bini

I should have known as the Binis are much more reasonable than you lot.
as you are no yoruba or Bini I have no obligation to explain or narrate the Lagos history to you. ..you are free to believe what you wish, afterall a bigot cannot accept the fact that he is wrong

why is it that igbo bigots cannot face yoruba but rather use Bini to fight their nonsense ethnic war?

italo:
And we both agree that Binis subjugated Yorubas in Lagos without a shot.

very false claim here. please go learn about the Idejo chiefs of Lagos who rule lagos underground with the Oba of Lagos as a figure head

Bini and Awori live together in lagos, not that Bini subjugated Awori
there was no subjugation at all but a friendly relationship

today those Bini lineages are Awori and not Bini. ..hence they are yoruba
most of my friends are of Bini descent yet while acknowledging their Bini ancestry they identify as Awori (Yoruba)

italo:
Which "Oduduwa?" The one that Yoruba lying "scholars" said tripped and fell from heaven to earth?

Or the Bini Prince Ekaladerhan Imadoduwa?

you are very right.. only lying "scholars" or ignorant fellows would say Oduduwa "fell" from the sky

but have you addressed urself and talked about the Ogiso coming from the sky? you cannot condemn the rather "untrue" claim of Oduduwa the King coming from the sky (as the Coming from the sky bit refers to the creator God of the same name and not the king) while you go back to ur hut to proclaim the Ogiso came from the sky and gave land to people.. even gave Europe to the Europeans,
address that nonsense first

why are you lot never consistent with your lies? today it's Imadoduwa tomorrow its izoduwa

jerflakes:
Islam no dey waste time for sharia.

If you dance to a happy video, sharia.

ProphetUdeme:
and the God of that Jewish ancestors has by one blood gathered us into this Jewish ancestral line. So by one blood, one Spirit we from the ibibio tribe, ogun and sango and yoruba tribe and all races are to surrender our gods and idols which are no God and turn from our wicked ways and serve the living and true God of the jews and to wait for His Son even Jesus from heaven who will deliver us from the coming Wrath (1 thesalonians 1 vs whoso has an ear let him hear

You must be a bastard. . You idiotic moronic slave. ... can't you just stop to listen tto jargon you spew?
You are a disgrace, a wasted sperm of a lineage that your ancestors should have closed up

You actually think I would stoop to ur level of mental stupidity to leave my Yoruba ancestors and take some Jewish people to heart?
People like you shouldn't even be living

Worthless scumbag

Yoruba are not bound to any one blood wit jews, neither are the beautiful Ibibio


A dumb bastard like you cannot speak for the Ibibio

How do you research patrilineal and matrilineal dna of over 800 year old bones to certain ethnic neighbors that have so intermarried?

Such test can only hold inaccurate results

simpleseyi:
You are right. I am a Yoruba man and I am proud of it. I am also proud of the Yoruba gods. My people go to the church, the mosque and at the same time go to the shrine. We call it three-in-one or holy trinity.

Confam guy. ..continue with the love of your ancestors o jare
Leave those who have no knowledge of their history or heritage to hate the yorubas for having what they don't have

FrancisTony:
Great Princess Moremi and Queen Idia.

Though i'm not Yoruba but I seem to know their culture more than mine.

You see your life? Igbo man doesn't know his ancestors

But you are here arguing over Jewish ancestors

Look at iidiots disturbing themselves over Jewish ancestors

Please how many of the women in the history of your ethnicity do you know by name?
