Lol this is just foreign influence playing,in china in city of liquan the natives there claim roman ancestry,in pakistan many muslims these days are claiming arab ancestry,this obsession is because north africa and the middle east is close to us and it has a lot of religious influence

I say follow the footprint in the sand of time.

What study and research have you done or contributions that qualify your voice of opposition.

You cant just step into a 2 or three yr old thread and speak unguardedly. Give us your input first.....qualify your view on the subject so we know who we are talking to.

RamessesIV:
Lol so because of some racist in faraway europe that's why you're doing all this,lol white people said you don't have history so you're making up yours To prove what So what will the ones in native america and Australia do?

And when I refer to "negro" I refer to dark-skinned people of sub-saharan ancestry,funny how black history these days is always about the middle east and north africa and not sub-saharan africa itself �����

The reference to middle east is nothing but your stereotypes at play.

We've beat this thing to death already.

There is nothing wrong with Yoruba coming from middle east or china or mexico or mongolia or even sub sahara.

We are following footprints in the dust. The footprints point to Afro Asia.

Forget about where Yoruba came from, review the footprints to see where they lead, period!

LordShiva97:
The bottom of that empty plastic container is still open right so that she can breathe?
How then is she safe?

Protective gear is to block mist and fine particle of air exhaled or forced from a sneeze or cough.

As she is she will still breathe recycled air. Recycled air beyond 6feet has not been determined to be hazardous.

We would all have to wear gas mask if the purpose was to exclude recycled air from our lungs.

Many people are looking at the product on her face. I want you to see her capacity instead. She took that plastic and cut it to fit her as a makeshift protective gear. If this girl comes in contact with some durable and high end materials she can create a marketable product.

Thats what we need to see in each other....capacity!

Have we not all heard that Nigerians in the US job market are mavericks?

The same Nigerians like this girl that we call stupid.

Dont wait till you are in position of leadership to exercise capacity for leadership. When you have developed and lived the discipline of leadership it will not be difficult to see its exhibition when a leadership role is put on your lap.

I no want talk too much abeg.

That's not ikpeazu but a pastor and his church members. The link to the strory is here on nl, but because Rekina's people rejected you, you hated igbo like a plaque and love to hear negative things about them

Rekhina, come see ChoCho call your people uncivilized.

I need notice from Abians. Let me know next time Ikpeazu hands out ball of eba and bowl of egusi.

gregyboy:
You type out of necessity and hatred


You never one day doubted the history your people told you instead you swallowed it because it feels your narrative to support your ego

Am simply separating the truth from the myth

The yorubas know we were never related thats why they kept marginalizing we binis in the western region

[/s]

We said we civilized you Edos. We have never ever said we were related with Edos, never!

You were forest fruit gatherers, we civilized you, taught you to cover your nakyedness with clothes, taught you to worship deities, taught you to be organized, taught you artwork, conquered and gave you a king to rule over you for eternity. The domain of this kingdom we named Ule Ubinu.

The elite rulers of Ubinu are our people. Their slaves, the Edos are not our people.

So learn to get a grip with your roots in the forest and stop claiming Benin. If you claim Benin then you are identifying yourself with roots in Ife, regardless what your anonymous authors tell you.

Just to clarify something, Kafayat and Arotile were NAF personnel who graduated from NDA member of 64RC, they graduated from NDA in 2017. They started their flying course in 401 flying training school in Kaduna for more than a year from Flight cadet to pilot officer then to flying officer before they were sent for flying training course in USA in the year 2018. They're products of Nigeria Defence Academy under NAF wing.
They're presently in Nigeria practising.

Guy abeg chill... must it always be igbos vs ??

Today na FG be your problem, tomorrow na your governors, next day na Hausa fulanis, the day after it na Yorubas nd soon it will be there is an African conspiracy against the igbos. What's your problem??

They are slowly turning attention towards home. Their governors will soon start feeling the heat like never before.

Imagine police enter SE and kill people anyhow. Army enter and slaughter people anyhow. Nobody talk. The governors that are suppose to speak up to defend their people are instead sending thank you note to Buhari.

overall90:
And these are some of the people mocking that Ikpeazu was sharing Eba and egusi(though not true)
you see why propaganda is not good

See as Lagos youths dey tell their governor to get lost with his food.

Ikpezu was sharing eba and egusi and people were thanking him.

I expect you journalists to investigate and bring this inequity to the attention of the authorities. These inequities are the stuff revolutions are made of. You don’t need a soothsayer to note that, just a little spark could lead to riots and mayhem. The little aide available is not being fairly shared all across the country. That is unfair. That is wrong. Every discerning person can see that the seeds for a revolution are being sown by the people applying this dichotomy. They are actually saying to some regions ” go to hell, you don’t belong here”.

Our governors should note that the angry people of this region are unhappy with the state of affairs in the land, especially with the one-sided style of distribution of the so-called palliative. Our people are clearly disappointed.

Why can’t the governors …

I don’t want to talk about our governors. I don’t agree with their style and I also don’t want to breach my code of conduct, which is: not to attack any governor, as that would distract me. The people know whether the governors are standing up for them or not. When I and Prof Ben Nwabueze escorted Nnamdi Kanu to a meeting with the Southeast governors, two and half years ago, I realised that the overbearing influence of the central government makes it difficult for the Southeast governors to be their own men. I painfully saw why the central government is very interested in whoever emerges as governor in Igboland. Ndigbo are in big trouble my dear brother. Ugwuanyi is good at trying to avoid any kind of fight, struggles to be a nice guy, Umahi, even though he is performing wonders in Ebonyi, very impressive infrastructure development, is totally committed to the politics of pleasing the master and remaining in the good books of the owners of Nigeria; Obiano decided from day one to fight his benefactor, thereby concentrating on survival in office, he has never stood up to identify with Ndigbo aspirations, Ikpeazu doesn’t have any achievements you can put your finger on, he too is busy battling for survival. The Supreme Court governor is the one that will split Igboland. Sad but true because even though nobody is thinking about it now, in nine months, he will produce the next Ohanaeze leader. You won’t expect him to nominate a PDP sympathiser. That would negate why he was forcefully made governor at this time. You also won’t expect Ndigbo to flow with his Ohanaeze nominee, who will definitely be an APC sympathiser. Nwodo’s last nine months may actually be the last days of a united Ohanaeze. You may quote me on this. So Ndigbo are going through difficult times and it’s not over yet. The younger generation of Ndigbo are not proud of our governors, they are nobody’s heroes, except of course the (otinkpu) praise singers and cheerleaders. The owners of Nigeria will never, for obvious reasons, allow strong willed, independent minded guys to emerge as governors in Igboland. We are a conquered people, held down in bondage and monitored aggressively. All our political leaders are compliant actors. This subject is a taboo; a no go area. Never to be discussed. But interestingly, the angry youths are discovering a lot of things, which inform their agitation. So back to your question, the people who share and distribute the palliative know that they are not fully carrying the Southeast along. They may cleverly organise a roadshow somewhere in Igboland for photo ops or propaganda purposes, but nobody is fooled. The intensely provocative dichotomy makes it difficult to preach one Nigeria in this region. These are clearly some of the reasons the agitation has remained very popular, in fact, reality on ground, points to the fact that everything is being done to hold Ndigbo down perpetually as slaves in Nigeria, but for the awareness and agitation by the younger generation, who tell me all the time, that they believe, there is a deliberate agenda to hold them down as slaves for a thousand years.

The opposition party says the government is not handling the COVID-19 crisis properly, unlike Jonathan’s government that handled the Ebola outbreak so efficiently that the world applauded Jonathan.

That could be true, but you see, even though this Buhari regime is a disaster, the 16 years of PDP didn’t actually move Nigeria forward. The PDP brought upon the land, the evil of imposition of candidates, mind boggling rigging, financial malfeasance or sleaze in a scale never before experienced in the land. PDP laid the foundation for the confusion in the land today. Dr. Alex Ekwueme told me that Obasanjo assured him that he would restructure Nigeria, but the fellow mischievously preferred a third term to salvaging Nigeria. Igbo political elite surrounded Jonathan for five years, they drank brandy with him into the wee hours, they failed to use the opportunity to address group interest, today Igboland has nothing. The roads until recently were in a horrible condition. The PDP is extremely lucky that Buhari goofed, if not PDP would have been history.

Is there any hope with the APC then?

The PDP gave us bad dreams. The APC brought nightmares. More than half of the APC people jumped from the PDP. We are in trouble. They are all the same. The entire political class is a direct product of the military. The military ruled us with their civilian accomplices and collaborators, these guys simply metamorphosed into the Nigerian political class, whose dreams, desires and aspirations are totally different with that of the hapless masses. The citizens crave for jobs, infrastructure, security, a growing economy and justice. The politician is occupied with how to win the next election, acquire property overseas, live the good life and of course, continue to fool the people. None of them worries about the condition of the masses or the future of the country. They only pretend they care, when it’s convenient. If they truly cared, they will not delay the restructuring of Nigeria, a day longer. The country is crumbling and I bet you, they are all busy husbanding resources in preparation for the next elections. They are so self-centered. They are like a band of predators terrorizing the land, and we are like grass- eating gazelles at their mercy.

Some are leopards, some are lions, there are also hyenas and cheetahs. When one species outsmarts the other, they will come appealing to the poor masses for sympathy.

Any sincere leader in Nigeria should know that without restructuring, Nigeria will die. If they were truly committed to the wellbeing of Nigeria and Nigerians, this country should have restructured long before now and set on a proper trajectory towards growth and greatness. But just look at where we are; Pity.

What should be done?

Nigeria is long gone beyond redemption if we don’t restructure immediately. We have been lying to ourselves for over 50 years. You see, I will be 58 years old this year. The story of Nigeria, from my eyes, isn’t an inspiring story. As a kid I recollect the first republic politicians in their flowing agbada and long cars, Opel Capitan, Zephyr, Chevrolet, etc. They partied like there would be no tomorrow. They were truly powerful. The crises and the civil war blew them away. Then came the soldiers in their well starched and well ironed green khaki and their Land rover convoys, they held sway as they were worshipped for import licence and other favours. They too passed away, then came the second republic, the NPN, UPN PRP, GNPP and NPP days. I was a teenager moving into my early 20s.Those ones ran amock. They lost all sense of responsibility and probity.

I have seen enough to cry over my country’s missed opportunities. While other countries were busy building their nations, we wasted decades, beating about the bush. Nigeria is a sad story. The painful part of it all is that the political class don’t want to repent. That’s the problem.

Is that why some youths of eastern region are agitating to secede?

The youths of eastern Nigeria are more dynamic than youths of other regions for three reasons. They suffer from discrimination everywhere they turn, every day of their lives. They are afraid and scared to hand over or bequeath this condition of second class citizenship to their children. That is unacceptable to them. Their position is unambiguous: Treat us as equals or let us go. We want to live as freemen, not as slaves.

Two, they have never been slaves to anyone for thousands of years, until Frederick Lugard forcefully united Nigeria and forced them into a union they neither understood nor desired. So the agitation will simply continue until something gives.

Finally, Igbo youths in the diaspora have managed to convince the millions at home that their elder’s laissez-faire attitude to the precarious political situation of Ndigbo in the last 50 years is largely responsible for their plight. They are all agreed that something must be done about it.

That is exactly what has been going on. The Nigerian state regrettably chooses neither to engage them nor address the structural imbalance that feeds their anger and disenchantment with the system. So the beat goes on. I fear a revolution. All the ingredients are there.

You all are left to defend your claims.......


There is no more arguing in myth, i will keep on opening threads educating people on the politcs behind Oduduwa myth..... Which is the truth



The yorubas on thier part should go into isolation
And be searching for any connections benin had with ife in the precolonial era.......


Awolowo remains a fool, for trying to withhold us in western region......

Yodubas will still open thier useless mouth and call us brothers[/quote][/s]

Gregyboy,
All ancient ORGANIC monarchies came out of a priesthood. All of them without exception. That priesthood is tied to a myth with the following characteristics -

Water
Sky
Animal
Earth.

Is Benin monarchy an ORGANIC or a derived dynasty?

If you say it is ORGANIC, what is the theme for its mythical beginning in Priesthood?

This is not hard. Remember you own this thread.

magicminister:
Hello Everyone, i hope you are doing safe!

Despite the devastating nature of the Chinese Virus, i believe we have a great opportunity to grow as a country. Please, allow me to break it down below:

1- The federal government planned to disburse billions of Naira to the poorest Nigerians and that is where i feel the federal government missed the mark. Any relieve should be given to TAX PAYING NIGERIANS that are within a defined income bracket.
The FIRS (Federal inland revenue service) can directly send the Chinese Virus Relief funds to the Tax paying Nigerians using the information on their 2019 Taxes. That way, you are encouraging people that never paid taxes to reconsider and rewarding Nigerians that have paid taxes as necessary to the Country.
I visited the FIRS website and there is nothing about the Chinese Virus. Its like, it never happened!!

2- There should be a food disbursement Center in states under lock down. A prepackaged food item should be made ready, appropriately labelled and disbursed in an orderly fashion. Social distancing should be enforced and anyone that receives items will be marked with a permanent marker on their left thumb.

3. There are news of Black Africans being mistreated in China even though the chinese virus came from the chinese people but we are made to bear the stigma. Nigeria, this is a time for you to take a strong stand and protect your citizen. Ship Aide and supplies to Nigerians in China and give them a one way ticket back. If we can allow chinese doctors to come here, Why can't we rescue our own citizens?

Those are the suggestions i have for now.
Please feel free to add yours.

@lalasticlala, kindly move this to the front page so we can continue giving the government ideas on how to do a better job.

OP,
We are wasting opportunity to divest and separate the country into independent regions in a truly federated structure.

Times like this when the center is vulnerable and weak is when regional advocates should apply pressure and crumble the center.

gregyboy:
Lol.... If only there was a connection

Put your evidence were your mouth lie


We can never have anything to do with the yorubas may god punish awolowo

I said Benin is not an organic priesthood you said I should put forth evidence. On what Priestdom is your monarch authorised (Ase) to wear a crown?

Speak ...

gregyboy:
Am not going to be using date to explain this
I just want to give the summary of the game of politics we all fell for......



Back in the 60s when our traditionalist were been elevated especially in the western region it breeded conflict among the traditional rulers in the then western region
They all made up a story of the non existed Oduduwa, some yorubas believed he had existed, some say it was just a myth created by the yoruba people, but each mornachs in the western region had thier own stories of Oduduwa that fit thier narrative. It was mostly centred around the three popular kings in the western region the alafin of oyo, the ooni of ife and the oba of benin
The ooni of ife and the oba of benin had the major support, the ooni is believed to be the true son of Oduduwa by the yoruba people, the oba of benin on the otherhand, use to have sovereignty over a large part of yorubas who the monarchs still regard him as thier superior king, the alafin oyo didnt really gain much support than these two, on both tales told by the oba of benin and the ooni of ife alafin remained third, from the oba of benin angle on the tales(myth) of Oduduwa he remained first same for the ooni vise-versa
The alafin had is own support for the oba of benin, egharevba the first benin historian had wrote his story to fit the oba narrative but he was intercepted by the only printing press in ibadan, (ibadan printing press)
Knowing egharevba motives he was asked to go back to rewrite his story to feature ife as the head which he complied to inother to move in his acedemical studies, the oba plan later didn't succeed he wasn't having enough political power to back him his plans, awolowo had taken side with the ooni , although he was in the western region the oba benin was not recognized as a yoruba man this allowed tribalism play-in against the oba of benin. The olu of itsekiri was later elevated as the olu of warri because of the yoruba ancestory which prompted riot in the then
Western region, the oba failed plot was associated with the edos been marginalized by the yoruba people, the yoruba knowing the oba of benin was alien to ancestory of Oduduwa proomted the constant marginalization, Oduduwa ancestory was unique to the yorubas alone the oba of benin happened to join in for his political gain, if he had succeeded he would have been the topmost ruler of the western region


Both the oba of benin and the ooni of ife conspiracy traces Oduduwa to earlier as the 10c i.e 900yrs ago from the benin dating.....
But if Oduduwa was really the progenitor of the yoruba people he should have existed beyond thousands of years ago to give the population of the entire yoruba people

[/s]

Ancient thrones of dynastic roots are mythical. The reason is beacuse they all originated from a Priestly beginning and were thus shrouded in mythical lores.

The currrent European monarchies all took root out of German, which was the bridge between modernity and ancient Romans and Greeks.

If you go to Asia, their monarchies all have mythical beginnings.

If you go to South America, all their monarchies were outcrops of mythical beginnings.

Even Judaism had mythical beginnings in the story of baby Moses.

Jesus had mythical beginnings in the birth.

Muhammed had mythical beginnings in the transformation of his city and kinship.


There is no original monarchy in ancient history that was not birthed out of myths.

If Benin did not have a mythical beginning it will be because it was birthed out of Ife.....and was not an organic Priesthood.

KingWarri:
Exactly, my thought though... Abi she refused to answer her Papa name

You no see her looks. Pure Ibo woman.

She put Ibadan and Akure on passport. She denied her roots in village.

Listen, how did the Lebanese possess her? Thats what i want know.

WHO has no job unless Africa is infected.

They cant go into US or China or Europe for rescue mission. Tjey wont be allowed in to their health system.
It is only Africa they can fvck with.

They are hoping so bad that we would start dying from covid so they can have reason to deploy rescue mission for their job security.

Awon were!
