Idrismusty97: Kwara and kogi isn't part of odua republic, No northerners will leave those states! Anyway a referendum should be carry out in these places and much of the middle belt. We the Arewas wouldn't force anyone. They can go form their country. Kwara - Nupe,Bariba and Yoruba with little fulani presence All of them still speak Yoruba as the lingual franca in the state, Yorubas rule the state. Kogi - Igala, Ebira and Yoruba. The other two rather go with Oduduwa than Arewa but a perceive a Mid-belt Confederacy But still, a referendum is crucial |

Rossikki: Yawwnn. You are a FRAUD. I guess Aristotle and co were racists for stating the Egyptians were blacks. You don't even realise how dense you sound. Must be your low IQ.
THEN STOP SUPPORTING LIES. Stop supporting the lies told by the same people who go around knocking off the noses off the Egyptian statues to disguise their African features. You're on their side, which makes you a fraud with zero credibility.
Err no. I told you that ''in Egypt, the artistic convention was to portray the women as lighter than men to denote their femininity''. A notable exception was during the Amarna period around the reign of Akhenaton.
Excerpt:
''The skin color of both male and female is generally dark brown (contrasted with the usual dark brown or red for males and light brown or white for females)...''
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarna_art
How does cultural difference translate to racial difference? So if people buried their dead standing up in the north, and in the south people buried their dead lying down, it means northerners were white and southerners black? Is Igbo culture not significantly different from Hausa culture? Does that mean Igbos are green and Hausas are purple?
Here is an account by Herodotus of the cultural practises of the Egyptians. He makes NO distinction between the north and south as regards the practices, PLUS he makes it clear their practices are VERY DIFFERENT from those of the Levant and the Phoenicians, and Greeks, PLUS the practises, when you read them, are VERY CLEARLY practices still associated TODAY with Africa South of the Sahara in every respect.
http://www.shsu.edu/~his_ncp/Heroegy.html

The RECORD DISAGREES WITH YOU. You cannot invent your own history.
Keep playing houseboy to whichever slavemaster sent you here. Meantime, ask your slavemaster what he has to say to this:
Gaston Maspero states that "by the almost unanimous testimony of ancient [Greek] historians, they [Ancient Egyptians] belonged to the African race, which settled in Ethiopia."
Diop, Cheikh Anta (1974). The African Origin of Civilization. Chicago, Illinois: Lawrence Hill Books. p. 2. ISBN 1-55652-072-7.
You might also wish to ask him why he knocked off all those noses on the Egyptian artifacts and statues! This is just bullshiit. it's you who has a low IQ, you racist scumbag. Where have I supported the denial of Negro presences in Egypt? You would do anything to make a point, even lie. You so claim to be an authority on Egyptology, I wonder if you have ever been to Egypt to insult anybody that brings up a valid point on ancient Egypt. You are all noise and all you know are based on what you see on TV and websites. So don't come on nairaland claiming more authority than everybody else to the point of unnecessary insults. for one who claims every other person has a low IQ you are a disgrace, if there's no cultural similarity between lower Egypt and the Negro tribes down South that proves a lot in favour of my case. I asked u to mention cultural similarities of Lower Egypt with Negro tribes, you still got nothin Your link proves nothing, Herodotus was looking at Egypt from a foreigners view, mostly interested in it's geography and resources not cultural attitude of the different regions deep research has been done and many cultural differences between North and South, especially at the predynastic era have been realized..some of which I already stated Lmao of all people on nairaland, Iam so far from a caucasian houseboy. But stop your disgusting lies |
Culture › Re: African Kings by macof(m): 11:37pm On Jul 19, 2014 |
Rossikki: I already mentioned (with proof) that women were depicted as lighter than men at some point as an artistic convention in Egypt. So stop posting images of light painted women to 'prove' your point. That translates to deception. Also, explain to us why there are NO documented accounts by visitors to Egypt supporting your claims. All the ancient visitors to Egypt, from Aristotle to Appolodorius, state clearly that the ancient Egyptians were black skinned. Why do you ignore their eyewitness testimonies and accounts? Is it because you are intellectually dishonest, with no interest in the truth? Also the tomb art as presented shows ONLY black skinned negroid people, confirming those eyewitness accounts, so one can only surmise that your "mixed" population emanates from your colonised imagination, from Hollywood, National Geographic channel, and from racist 19th century Egyptologists who could not bear to learn that they were civilised by black folks. Your theory directly contradicts the ancient record, and has zero support from that record. Kindly stop disseminating falsehoods. Again, the fact that of all the scores of documented visitors to Egypt, NOT ONE says "the blacks live in the south and the whites and yellows live in the north", instead, ALL stating that "the Egyptians are black skinned with wooly (ie kinky) hair", shows that what you are presenting to the contrary is cooked-up 'evidence'. You are the one being dishonest. Not only that but you are a racist. I am a proud Yoruba man but I won't support lies you want to tell us All images of Egyptian women are yellow/light-brown?? You want to tell us that There's no cultural difference between Upper and lower Egypt? Show us now wit prove any identical feature from lower Egypt that fits wit cultures South of the Sahara and how they are different from Levant and Phoenicians I have proved my point in my last post Lower Egypt was Mediterranean not Negro as Pagan 9ja already laid out. I don't need to lie to prove the Negro race It's people like u who are filled wit hatred for whites and the shame of his race that he keeps clinching to a lost mixed civilization as his. |

londoner: Quoted from the piece.
@Macof
1-At that moment in time, there weren't any Yoruba's, Igbo's, or Hausa's. At that time, there was just simply Nigerians helping out fellow Nigerians. I believe what I saw could be incorporated into every day things not just emergencies. A society where people look to help other people. Slowly as the future generations are getting older, the cultural and religious stereotypes that people in Nigeria have been mentally enslaved to are going away.
2-The good thing about the various tribes is that they have their own take on Nigerian cuisine. And it is delicious.
3- Nigerians are excellent at using existing genre's and adding their cultural flair to add sound to the music.
4- God Bless Nigeria.
The average European is not constrained by tribal/ethnic rivalry. Its is general to Nigeria, this and more has been said by foreigners about places they have visited in all corners of Nigeria.
If any one tribe thinks they have the monopoly on positive attributes, they need travel more, or read more widely. 1. Where did this happen?? Yorubaland. Why didn't the OP go to Kano or calabar to see a repeat of that 2. OP mentioned Efo, is Efo a Yoruba cuisine or Ibibio?? 3. Did u read "cultural flair"?? What does that mean to u? is Olamide using a Nigerian cultural flair or using a Yoruba one?? That's also to consider that there's no such thing as a "Nigerian cultural flair" 4. and that doesn't make a point |

hasyak: 5 Reasons to love Nigeria from an American perspective.
I'm an American and I love the United States of America. I'm proud of where I was born and raised. But this post isn't going to be about that. I've been fortunate enough to travel to many places throughout the world. I have fond memories of so many people I've met and so many instances I've been a part of.
Nigeria isn't just a place I've traveled to. This has become a home away from home to me. I lived there off and on for many years and it is a Country that I not only care about, but a place where I want to see it's potential reached. And I have committed myself to being a part of that solution in the years to come. As you've seen from my prior posts, Nigeria is always on my mind and there are so many topics I could talk about. But this post is going to go over the 5 main reasons why I love Nigeria. And it's not only a privilege to share this, but I believe it's mandatory.
Reason #1: March, 2011
In March 2011, I was in Nigeria. I was in the middle of a trip that would keep me there for a 4 month stretch. I was staying on the mainland in Lagos at the time at a lovely little hotel in Mushin. My wife who is Nigerian and her family that were in Nigeria thought I was crazy for staying there. My wife hasn't been back to Nigeria in over 15 years so her opinion on Mushin is based on 15 years ago, not currently. And her parents haven't really been to Mushin in a quite a while. So I appreciated their concern, but I enjoyed staying in Mushin. This could be another post all on it's own so I will stay on topic.
I was working on the Island this particular day. I worked late. It was around 9 p.m. when I left. We had to stop over in Ikeja before I went to the hotel so we were on the Third Mainland Bridge heading there at that time. A small car hit something in the road and flipped on it's side. The car was packed with people. 4 adults and 4 little kids. Since it was on it's side, they were crushing each other. I had my driver pull over to the side and when I got out of the car, what I witnessed told me what Nigeria can become. And this moment will stay with me forever and has been my inspiration in regards to Nigeria.
I would guess that 40 cars pulled over on both sides of the bridge when this happened. At least 40-50 people ran over to the car. They were all there in less than 30 seconds flat. People latched on to each other to make a "ladder" so other people could climb on top of them. One guy positioned himself to be able to reach in the car. Then in consecutive fashion, a person latched on to his feet to give him stability and strength and another person at the bottom was grabbing the other person's foot to give total stability. Everyone was rescued from the car and were not injured because of how quick the rescue was. Then, about 2 minutes after the rescue, the car caught fire. Without that quick response and everyone working together, 8 people would have died.
At that moment in time, there weren't any Yoruba's, Igbo's, or Hausa's. At that time, there was just simply Nigerians helping out fellow Nigerians. I believe what I saw could be incorporated into every day things not just emergencies. A society where people look to help other people. Slowly as the future generations are getting older, the cultural and religious stereotypes that people in Nigeria have been mentally enslaved to are going away.
Reason #2: The Food!.....Oh the Food.
I love Nigerian food. The good thing about the various tribes is that they have their own take on Nigerian cuisine. And it is delicious. Personally, I love Efo. And I can cook it too. My Nigerian friends and my Wife's family are always shocked at how I can cook Efo. When I first ate it, I had to learn how to make it. The key I believe is to fry the onions with the palm oil first. And if you can find the perfect juicy tomatoes and red peppers to blend then you are going to have a good dish.
I don't know if I'm spelling this correctly, but Kokoro is also one of my favorite snacks. And I believe you can only get this snack in Abeokuta. For those who do not know or are not Nigerian, Kokoro is corn that is blended and then fried into corn chips. They are unbelievable. Every time I go to Abeokuta, I buy a large amount of this snack.
Lastly, Suya is one of my favorites. I don't like it spicy though. So when I head over to the Suya stand on the side of the road in Ikoyi, I always ask for Suya without all the pepper. I get extra tomatoes and onions on the side. Since the guy is Hausa, I ask for "fala fala tomatoes and onions". Suya has gotten me through many nights when it was too late for me to get dinner.
Reason #3: The Parties
Nigerians know how to party. Not only do they know how to party, they can find any excuse to throw a party. Just had a kid? Have a party. Just got promoted? Have a party. Just retired from your job? Have a party. Just had an anniversary? Have a party.
These parties are usually scheduled at 2 p.m. but since this is Nigeria, everyone starts to show up around 7 p.m. and the party goes on through the night. Lot's of food. Lot's of music. And I believe 40% of the guests don't even know who the party is for. They just heard about it and came along. So at these parties you meet a lot of new people.
There was one trip where I believe I went to a party on 5 consecutive Saturdays for some reason or the other. By the sixth week, I was exhausted.
Reason #4: The Music
Whatever kind of mood you are in, you can find some kind of music in Nigeria to fit your mood. Nigerians are excellent at using existing genre's and adding their cultural flair to add sound to the music. Whether it's Hip Hop, Gospel, Rock, Reggae, Jazz or Rhythm and Blues, there are so many talented Nigerian artists that are enhancing these genre's.
Reason #5: The Street Vendors
We all know how bad traffic is especially in Lagos. This is a place where you could be going only 30 miles and take over 3 hours to get there. It's infuriating and highly stressful.
But when you are stuck in traffic, everything you may need will be available to you through the street vendors who walk in between the cars on the street. Thirsty? Get some soda or juice. Hungry? Get some popcorn, peanuts, banana's, ice cream, fruits, or gala. Don't have time to get to the malls? No problem. You can get CD's, DVD's, Shoes, Sandal's, Home Décor or really anything else. All of these things can be bought while you're in traffic.
I got stuck in traffic one day and I was late to dinner meeting. When I finally got to the meeting, I didn't order anything to eat. Because while I was in traffic, I had a Coke, Banana, half a bottle of peanuts, and Ice Cream.
Some people might say that it is these very same street vendors that cause the traffic to begin with. But I don't care. I love them any way.
God Bless Nigeria.
Wishing you Success,
Brian Botts All what you stated here are only typical of the Yoruba people. There's nothing "Nigerian" A Nigerian culture doesn't exist So stop deluding yourself |

Rossikki: There goes another one saying stuff that flies in the face of the tomb art evidence and historical documented accounts and records. I think it's best we ignore your type and blame it on Hollywood. Precisely due to the evidence on ground that points to a mixed race civilization in Egypt The Nothern Nile, stretching to the delta was inhabited by A Mediterranean featured people, similar to Berbers and Phoenicians Dynastic Egyptians referred to their country as "The Two Lands". During the Predynastic period (about 4800 to 4300BC), the Merimde culture flourished in the northern part of Egypt (Lower Egypt). This culture, among others, has links to the Levant in the Middle East. The pottery of the later Buto Maadi culture, best known from the site at Maadi near Cairo, also shows connections to the southern Levant as well. In the southern part of Egypt (Upper Egypt) the predynastic Badarian culture was followed by the Naqada culture. These people seem to be more closely related to the Nubians than with northern Egyptians. We know how important the Nile river was to the ancient Egyptians, but it was the upper Egyptians that practised the annual flooding rituals as the nil flow from it's source in central Africa. Narmer The unifier of Both countries was from Upper Egypt and a black man (obviously) but those he conquered were not black, his marriage to Neithotep, a princess from Lower Egypt, was no doubt political. Burial rites in Upper Egypt was totally different from that of lower Egypt : Lower Egypt had no cemeteries, the dead were buried around their homes, unlike upper Egypt where the dead were given separate spaces and tombs to be buried in, wit their faces placed South, looking West. Upper Egypt sacrificed people after the death of kings to assist them in the afterlife (like in many west african cultures), up until the innovative invention of Shabti at the beginning of the 2nd dynasty. The art of Upper Egypt has been identified to be the same style wit that of Nubia, pyramids are more abundant in Nubia and upper Egypt . The kings of upper Egypt had fan bearers as depicted on Scorpion Macehead, but nothing for lower Egypt. Fan bearers are a typical cental/West African culture The lower Egypt has a moderate Mediterranean climate like in Other areas assigned to The hamitic stock unlike the desert hot areas of upper Egypt. What else to assume a different stock of people building a nation together?? Below is the best known image representing Neithhotep (first queen of Egypt) from lower Egypt

Rossikki: Stop being a pawn in the hands of white racists trying to steal your history. Tutunkhamun was a black man. Those pics you posted depict a black man. The original life size statue I posted of him showing his full black skin tone was found in his tomb in a 1922 excavation and has nothing to do with "akata". There is no such race as "brown skinned race". If you meant he was Arab, or Greek, you're wrong. The African name Tutunkhamun is clearly not a name that can be even remotely associated with any of those peoples. There are images of his grandmother Queen Tiye and his dad Pharaoh Akhenaton, and they are very much black African people. Learn more here:

VLadipo: Common sense (and other forms of wisdom except the wisdom of God) is weak, grossly inadequate and limited in its ability to deal with life situations as it relates to the created universe! 
"Wisdom is commonly defined as the correct application of knowledge. Wisdom therefore feeds on knowledge, and the type of knowledge applied determines the type of wisdom you get.
There is the wisdom of words in 1 Corinthians 1:17 [For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.], the wisdom of the world in 1 Corinthians 1:20 [Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?] and the wisdom of God in 1 Corinthians 1:24. [But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. I am happy to inform you today] that the only wisdom that is reliable is the wisdom of God; all other kinds of wisdom are grossly inadequate and limited in all ramifications."
- Pastor E.A Adeboye
Write your own bible for the world to read rather than castigate another person's own.  Ecclesiastes 1:17-18 17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. 18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
The first book ever to be printed is the Bible. It was written over a period of 1600 years. The authors never knew they were writing what will eventually make up the Bible when they wrote.
The New Testament was written 400 years after the Old Testament.
Only books from which our LORD Jesus Christ made quotations during his physical presence on earth made the Old Testament.
The New Testament was compiled based on the testimonies of witnesses - those who had been with Jesus and/or encountered Him at some point in time.
You can't judge the Bible! The Bible must judge you!!
The Bible is man's manual for living. 
Judges 4:11-12 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Angeldemivida: I am an African woman that loves my Africanness so much that I carry my natural African hair proudly with no weaves and weavons. I also proudly rock my natural skin colour because I love who I am and don't need to look like some other people that call themselves "white". You know why? Because I have looked deeply into our Africanness and where some see nothing beautiful, I see exotic beauty. You are all are getting on Black is this and that, my opinion in all these never had to do with not appreciating my Africanness. I simply don't like that our Africanness/soulful beauty is branded Black. Aren't there plenty Africans that are light complexioned? Using the colour Black to brand us all is belittling, we are worth more than the colour black. I am sure that if you calmly think about my point that what I am driving at will hit home. Unlike the Africans in Argentina that refused to be recognised as having African origin, I am proud of my Africanness, I love that I am an African. Should Africans be called to stand up to be counted, I will gladly want to be recognized with my people. In other words, call me an African. Don't call me black. I don't wanna be limited and placed in a level the world has set with the colour-branding-snobbism. End of discussion. Very funny  all I can say is as long as you an African woman, you are Black. The true blackness of your identity is nt about ur personally appearance but that of your entire people. So if u like bleach because u hate the colour black. You are still a black woman The only thing you can do is to kill urself and hope to reincarnate in Europe  |

You are there beating your chest that you like the colour black and the other races chose a more positive colour denotation for themselves and are treating all you like black gutter/filth. Stay there and keep answering black man, master black men. Infact because of this foolish attitude both of you displayed here, I will stop referring to us Africans as black, we are not blacks. We are humans with intelligence, hearts, dignity and integrity. I refuse to be segregated and branded with a colour like a mere filth. I am human, made by God and loving myself. I am not a black woman relegated to a low level by the world because my forefathers agreed to be branded "black". Get it? Now get your motherf*cking selves off my post and get on beating your black branded chests. F*ckers! Yeah, I had fun cursing out there. It's good to be naughty sometimes, now smile for me sweets. When I return to the thread I may give you two some little love cause i hate to hurt anybody but right now you can have this from me cause you acted like f*ckers in the first place. Hahaha Black is beautiful. Black is a complexion of the true Arewa(beautiful) Back in the old days, women had this lotion that made their skin shine, darker and smoother. It's mental inferiority that makes Negros want to bleach |

amor4ce: PAGAN 9JA and macof, I never made reference to any abrahamic concept in my original post which is basically about reincarnation that is vehemently denied by the abrahamic religions. It is because of your irrational bias that you keep accusing me of such. The story global flood is mentioned in Ifa and was not brought to us by the abrahamic missionaries. I hope you are aware that other non-abrahamic peoples also know of this flood. FOLYKAZE, go and ask any competent babalawo about Eni-bi-eni. How do you think matriarchal societies came about? The link in my original post is of THE CREATION STORY as narrated by the Chairman, Ethics and Scriptures, International Council for Ifa Religion. Why don't you contact him instead and tell him that he doesn't know what he is doing. I also hope you are aware that apart from the 801 irunmoles there are higher irunmoles. I also never mentioned that Eniyan is the same "thing" as Iwa but that they are appellations of the same person. Even those who practice Lucumi and Santeria know this very well. Am nt even taking about this thread but ur general appeal to people. Your blog for instance, is all about trying to fit Yoruba into the Bible, or fit the Bible into Yoruba You know what I mean |

FOLYKAZE: Hmmmmmmm
The owner of infinity possibilies. . . .how can I kno him?
Would wach from the sideline bro. . . .thanks for bringing this topic on Ori lo ni idaun yen I heard the church some meters away, shout out praise in the name Olodumare but kept cursing Esu they went ahead to imply Jesus as Olodumare..maybe professing the trinity of jehovah I got angry and started thinking about what the Yoruba would think of when you talk of Olodumare, so this thread just helped me write down some of those thoughts Nothing special or professional |
