President Muhammadu Buhari says the effect of climate change on Lake Chad has created more economic challenges, with the shrinking lake rendering many jobless, and leaving them with little or no options for survival, except crime. [b][/b]Buhari said this yesterday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, while receiving Letter of Credence of the High Commissioner of Australia to Nigeria, Mrs Claire Ireland.

Buhari, according to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said climate change was “steadily” taking a toll on income of families as farm lands got narrowed with desert encroachments, while the vagaries of the weather posed greater risks for the future.

The president, who said the global attention on taming the effects of climate change was important, added that population had been on the increase in Nigeria, and lands for investment and farming had turned more competitive. “Before now, 10 to 15 members of a family could own a land, but the desert encroachment and growth in population has created a situation where you can have 200 people struggling over a family land,” he said.

Buhari said the country was preparing for more challenges from desert encroachment Ireland said Australia had maintained consistent economic growth for 29 years, scoring a record of development indicators that many countries had not been able to attain. She said the growth had been largely driven by investments and diversification in the mining sector, assuring that stronger partnerships would be explored for Nigeria’s potentials in minerals, education and agriculture. Buhari, who also received Letter of Credence of the Ambassador of Sweden, Carl Michael, said Nigeria remained grateful for the strong partnership it had enjoyed over the years.

The Swedish ambassador, who assured the president that he would work hard to deepen political and economic relations, there were many opportunities for cooperation, including trade and investments. Receiving the Letter of Credence of the Ambassador of Zimbabwe to Nigeria, Maxwell Ranga, Buhari said Nigeria had enjoyed long years of cooperation with Zimbabwe. Ranga said Zimbabwe appreciated Nigeria’s support during the country’s struggle for independence.

I pray and hope Buhari did not say the bold. He is preparing justification for Amnesty for criminals in Lake Chad basin.

I mean, I dont know why they are alarmed that it is possible to mimick the key fob. At its minimal the radio signal exchange between the fob and the car is using bluetooth, not infrared. The advantage it has for security is encryption, simple! If you exploit the encryption successfully, even a smart phone paired over bluetooth will unlock the car by simply deceiving it with touchtone signals. They should not be alarmed at all.

Keeping fob in freezer and in bank vault is all bullshyyte. The way to prevent this type of theft is first to disable the bluetooth system in the car, you will then have to use the milled key in the door to unlock the car. If its push start model...just rest the fob on the start button it will start. Why should that work if bluetooth is deactivated? Because the key start uses NFC but the door unlock uses bluetooth pairing.

I love the designs, more blessings to you! Do jeans and put them as brand on pocket flaps!

Quran, Ifa and the Bible
By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

Recently, in the course of research about history, i came in contact with a book on Ifa corpus.

I took interest in it because, I have heard many times that in ifa, exists history of many towns and people and i really wanted to know how true this is.

So, i took a copy of this ifa book to read.

Surprisingly, in the chapter one of the book, titled eji ogbe, a story, closely related to that which was narrated by the Quran and Bible was contained in it.

If you remember, the Quran and Bible told a story about the miraculous birth of a child called Jesus or Isa.

In both narratives, they said a virgin lady named Marry or Mariam (as the case may be), that is not married conceived the child without ever being with any man.

Bible said Marry conceived Jesus through holy spirit and the Quran said Mariam conceived Isa through what Islamic Scholars described as "kun fa ya kun".

I have just found out that similar story was narrated in an Odu Ifa called eji ogbe.

Ifa called the woman Oyigi and the child, ela.

According to the story, oyigi is unmarried and a revelation from ifa came to her that she will give birth to a miraculous child, a child that will be God's messenger.

Soon, she got pregnant as prophesied without meeting any man, went into the bush and eventually gave birth to the child she named ela.

The child, according to the story, became the most knowledgeable about ifa and when Orunmila is returning to heaven or eledumare, he entrusted spiritual knowledge of ifa to ela and asked all ifa messengers to refer to ela when they have any question.

Could this ifa story, be said to be similar to that of the quran and bible?

Abdulrazaq O Hamzat

Even the narrative of the three wise Kings guided by the night star to the child in Nazareth is contained in an Odu involving Oba Olugbon, Oba Aresa and Oragun Ila.

Ela L'Oro
Oro ni Omo bibi inu Eledumare
Nigba ti a bi Ela lati ara Obinrin wa s'Aye
Gege bi ipin tire lati to ile Aye wo
Oba Olugbon, Oba Aresa ati Orangun Ile Ila
Won da Ifa Irawo to yo loke orere
Ifa ni ki won mu ewure dudu, aguntan bolojo, ki won mu wura ati fadaka
Ki won fi tuba alejo Oro
Ki Aye le tuba tuse fun won lori Apere
Aah, nje kini kati gbo!
Ka wipe Oba n'tuba fun ar'obo, ab'eje lori?
Ifa ni "afojudi a ma so eni da egungun arin iwowo"!
Won gbo ti Ifa, ni won ba fi ori kunkun sile
Oun ni won fin wi pe...
Ode ba Olugbon, o mu mora ni
Ode ba Aresa, o mu mora ni
Ode ba Orangun Ile Ila, o mu mora ni.

This Odu teaches humility using the lessons of the three wise Kings that received sign of a miracle birth in nearby town. When instructed to take with them some items and pay homage in honor to the newborn...they were shocked! How is it to be heard that a King pays homage before an infant whose arrival is so new its fresh head has barely been cleansed of its delivery blood? Ifa counseled them, and they listened to Ifa, swallowed their pride and did what was instructed.

But why is the story of three wise men even in Odu Ifa...in same manner of record it is narrated in the Bible?

Yoruba is what I will call the beacon. When ships near harbor in the dead of the night...everywhere dark and the sea and land merge at the horizon, even though they have eyes ship captains are literally sailing blind. It is the beacon that becomes their eyes and navigate them safely to berth. What the world cannot see or understand in the mystery of nature, when it is hidden from sight, Yoruba will be the revelation to teach it.

Is it possible that these words were ORIGINALLY Yoruba lexicon? If Yoruba was the indigenous language of Arabia it could explain why both places share that many words in context and meanings, +much more not yet explored.

The population that inherited Arabia behind the migrant Yoruba succeeded in assmilating the language and producing a hybrid with other tongues imported by the settling foreigners....or conquerors! Hence today the Yoruba words in Arabic are hard to decode without reference to Yoruba language itself for markers in similarities and interpretations.

We call Yoruba the borrower of Arabic words. Are we sure, that Yoruba borrowed its own language? Arabs are the borrowers of Yoruba language.

Consider the tribal identity Koreish (Qureish) for instance. Is it Arabic or Yoruba?

Examples -
Oreica/Orica/Orixa/Rixa/Onisha/Onicha/Ureisha/Urishe/Orishe/Orisha. It is a world order!

Look at the following attachment from Brazil, it is a spiritual prescription. Brazilians that observe Orixa/Orica can decode this prescription. I doubt any Yoruba can do it accurately without committing blunder....yet it is written in authentic Yoruba lexicon but morphed by accent and hybrids injected from other languages (Portguese, Latin, Spanish). If the boricas of Brazil become missioners and succeed in spreading the faith all over the globe, Yoruba could end up learning a new faith copied from it and must write spiritual prescriprions that look something like the attachment. Imagine that future generation comparing words borrowed by Yoruba from Brazil....


I have said many times that the spiritual observance in Islamic prayer consist of many acts of worship mirrored in Ifa initiation. In fact I am not the only person that have made this claim. Yoruba muslims are learning in Islam aspects of worship perfected by their ancestors in their original land in Mondiana. I have also speculated that the Great Oraminyan, was equally corrupted by historians and recorded wrongly as ARAMEAN. Oraminyan was a title in ancient Syria. Historians whose tongue and accents could not correctly pronounced Oramiyan...called and recorded it as Aramean!

If they are indigenes of the border between Niger and Kebbi, who does topic say Kwara?

OP confused?

AdekunleScience:
An Omoluabi shouldn't be the one to bring this piece of news on here. I use this opportunity to plead with you sir and every true Omoluabi on this platform; stop creating topics about IGBOS, cause whenever you do that you have successfully re-inforced the general culture of arrogance, make-believe superiority, paranoia which defines the IGBO mindset. However, if any person or group attacks or make FALSE claims about the Yoruba Nation, Yes we should descend on them heavily.
Thank you.

My brother, you are the only person I will respond to here. This thread will be my last thread on anything Igbo. Going forward I will refocus now on strictly Yoruba, in all aspects.

My brother, Igbo women full for Surulere. Ifeoma, my neighbor, na my thing she take become woman. Ngo, mama Chucks youngest daughter, she nearly run mad. It all started from day I was drunk and bring out blokos infront of her mama shop dey piss heineken. It took her a while but she won, and calmed down after I fulfilled her fantasy. Deborah, alias 4x40, I Bleep her, Bleep the k-leg! Rekhina is on my list...that huge nipple no go escape my lips, Insha Allah! If I have to fly to Dubai to suck them I must do so. Amatarasha dey play hard to get...mmmtcheeew.... My brother if i wan marry Ibo woman na Ifeoma go don seal my heart. She dey husband house since two years now. God bless them! Ngo has fiancee. Deborah sef dey husband house. I no get anything against Igbo, men or women, we be brothers and sisters...I just happen to love Yoruba passionately, more than I even love myself, das all! If Yoruba ask for volunteer force to wage war in defense of the homeland I am ready to shed my blood for my homeland! I no get bad blood against Igbo but I must protect and defend my Yoruba territory.

Nnamdi Kanu went to European Union to present his case for Biafra. In his account of Ibo history in Nigeria he started from 1966. A big blunder!

Here, an Ibo intellectual has given us a well written and well thought out proposals for self-dependency. To give perspective on Ibo history he started at 1885.

I have asked numerous and countless times, what is Ibo history before the arrival of white man in late 1800s? I always get silence from the educated ones here and a bunch of animal cries are issued by Onitsha bridge-head touts excited to show their vuvezealousness!

Dede2, you are the historian here. Give us perspective on Ibo history before 1885. How was Iboland composed, who were the authorities, any dynasties, any historical markers? any expeditions or expansions.... You dont have to go too far back, start from just as recent as 1800. People need to know if you were an old and ancient culture or a group of settlers that migrated from a different origin. Tell your story before the creation of Nigeria. If you cannot it becomes too hard to see how you could claim yourself as an indigeneous people or of a autochtonous past.

Dedetwo:
Like Nwobodo's savannah bank, Ibeto's cement and Innson's vehicles. Nigeria is indeed basket of fools. Nigeria will not see progress until disintegration.

Dede,
Do you deny my assertion?

The Igbo as a people are very qualified to exercise this natural and UN’s rights and do not need to cast any vote to decide or choose to engage in this self-dignifying act of self-determination. Engaging in such an act like a referendum or any other form of vote casting by the Igbo to decide if they should go their separate ways from the Nigerian union is rather degrading and an exercise in self-deprecation. It is an exercise in self-doubt where a people dilly-dally endemically in the morass of indecisiveness. Pathetically unsure of how to answer the simple question of should we be who we are or be known and defined differently with the identity chosen for us by other people who had little or no knowledge about us.

The Igbo have the capacity and are determined to exist in a separate modern sovereign political independent state where Igbo people are solely responsible for the social and political wellbeing of their people. The Igbo recognize that it is only through the reestablishment of their full sovereign independence will they be able to fully assume the responsibility of accounting for the security and prosperity of the citizens of such Igbo state.

It should be solely an Igbo choice and right to determine and define themselves for others and not the other way around. As a people the Igbo have a unique, distinct and distinguishable identity which is different from those of their neighbors. With this understanding the Igbo have therefore chosen to exist separate and independent from the rest of the Nigerian state. On the basis of their fundamental right to self-determination and independence, the Igbo do not have to offer any other reason or explanation for their choice and decision to live free and independent from the rest members of the Nigerian union.

Apart from exercising this right on the basis of their fundamental human, people and national right as conferred on them by Nature – simply for being alive and existing as a collective of human beings, this action by the Igbo is also provided for in Article I of the Charter of the United Nations. In UN’s Charter this principle of self-determination is prominently expressed. It partly states that all peoples everywhere have the right to self-determination and independence. By virtue of this right the Igbo can freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development without subjecting this choice to any vote or referendum. The Charter does not in any its section subject the exercise of this right to a vote or referendum.

Based on the provisions of these rights bestowed on Igbo people by God, the United Nations and other international and local legislative bodies the Igbo do not need to base their pursuit of freedom on anything else. It is their fundamental human right to live free and assert themselves as a people separate from other people. They do not need to elect or decide whether they want to live free and separate from other Nigerians. The mere wish and desire to live free from Nigeria is enough reason.

Why 1967 or Ojukwu’s Biafra is different

For the benefit of those who have continued to confuse the 1967 or Ojukwu’s Biafra with the prevailing Igbo agitation to free themselves from Nigeria, we will try to point out some of the differences. Ojukwu’s Biafra of 1967 is different in many ways from the ongoing move by the Igbo to free themselves from Nigeria. We have already alluded to some of these differences but here we will just mention one more or two additional points. Firstly, the circumstances and conditions that produced Ojukwu’s Biafra are very different from those of the current agitation. Secondly, Ojukwu’s Biafra boundaries are not the same as the present Igbo campaign for independence. The new Igbo state does not necessarily have to bear the same name, Biafra.

The first Biafra was produced by the pogrom of the Igbo and the other ethnic nationalities which made up the then country of Biafra or former Eastern Region. On the contrary the current agitation for Biafra independence is not based on any such complaints. In as much as there are very obvious evidences of official and systemic policies of Igbo marginalization, persecution, oppression and exclusion from participation in the governance of the Nigerian state but the ongoing Igbo move to be independent is solely based on the principles of Self Determination as expressed in Article I of UN’s Charter.

Hence the Igbo as a people do not wish to seek any form of redress, equity or justice within the context of the Nigerian state. They would rather live free and separate from the rest peoples in Nigeria and manage their affairs by themselves. This therefore rules out any form of Igbo participation in the new call by other stakeholders in the Nigerian federation to restructure the country and devolve power to regional powers.

Another significant way in which the current Igbo move to be independent from Nigeria is different from 1967 or Ojukwu’s Biafra is that the map of 1967 Biafra did not include Igbo people on the western side of the River Niger. Instead since it was based on the colonial map of the so-called Eastern Region of Nigeria it included the peoples and lands of others who are not Igbo. Again 1967 Biafra map was based on the arbitrary creation of the colonial masters for the ease of their economic and administrative convenience. It is not different from the present Nigerian state which has not worked. The so-called Eastern Region was also a colonial concept created to enhance the colonists’ commercial and administrative interests. In the new state we are founding, it is not our intention to create another Nigeria merely with a different name by yoking together peoples with different and incongruent world views and cultures in one country.

The current project to free the Igbo from Nigeria cannot be equated with the clamor by some sections including some Igbo individuals, for the restructure of Nigeria by devolving power to the local regions. This so-called restructure movement is based on the so-called Ojukwu’s Aburi Accord as some people like Nnia Nwodo of Ohaneze have recently pointed out. The Aburi Accord had outlived its usefulness and is no longer valid. It cannot satisfy all the ramifications of the current Igbo needs and aspirations. So, Aburi Accord is essentially the same thing as the restructure-Nigeria agitation by different political blocks. When adopted, the restructured Nigeria will allow different sections to control their natural resources and some of their political autonomy while retaining their membership in the Nigerian federation. The Igbo are not interested in retaining any form of umbilical attachment to Nigeria once they are detached from Nigeria. They want a clean break and total independence from Nigeria.

Igbo people live and carry on businesses in various parts of Africa including all the nooks and crannies of the extant Nigeria. But there is a specific and identifiable space or territory that is known and referred to as Igbo land, Igbo country or state. The word Igbo represents the people, the land, space or territory they occupy and the language they speak. The global Igbo population is 50 million.

This autochthonous Igbo territory is located in the southeastern part of Nigeria. More than a hundred years ago, through a colonial fiat, the people and their land were forcefully and without their consent, incorporated into what is today known as Nigeria. And since the last twenty something years, the people have continuously campaigned to opt out of Nigeria and become a separate and independent country.

As a people or national group with the same set of culture, language and many other common historical antecedents, the Igbo have the fundamental right to declare, pursue and achieve this desire for self-determination and independence. In doing this they do not need any referendum to determine if they should live free and independent within their ancestral autochthonous territory. To live free and independent is their natural right. They do not need any intervention or permission from outside to take charge of their affairs and collective destiny.

One thing that is worth clarifying from the onset of this discussion is that the prevailing call for a separate independent state in the southeastern part of Nigeria is solely Igbo’s post-colonial agenda. It was embarked on by the Igbo in their own and for their own interest. It is a new initiative that is fundamentally different from the 1967 or Ojukwu’s Biafra. This is an Igbo-only pursuit that is entirely sponsored and supported by Igbo people who are native to the afore-described geographical territory known as Igbo land.

It is important to reiterate here for the avoidance of any ambiguity that Igbo people in their quest for self-determination and independence are not coopting or annexing the lands of their neighbors. They do notice and support the fact that many of their neighbors such as the people of Niger Delta and many others are also engaged in their own separate quest for self-determination and independence from the Nigerian union. The Igbo are always ready and willing to work together and share necessary information that will aid all groups who are engaged in the process of self-determination and independence from Nigeria.

The geographical extent of Igbo national state under discussion embraces the lands and people within the pre-colonial Igbo state map and jurisdiction. This means all Igbo people and land everywhere both within and those outside the traditional Igbo states of Abia, Anambra, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo and Rivers states.

The current Igbo assertion of their right to freedom and independence is mostly informed by the people’s desire to restore their national sovereignty and independence as it existed before the 1884/1885 Berlin colonial “European scramble for Africa” conference. The European colonial powers had convened in the said conference to solely divide up Africa as it would best protect and advance their business interests. In the process they distorted existing Africa’s national states and political boundary maps to the detriment of the native peoples.

The Europeans sat down at the table and carved up arbitrarily the continental Africa as it favored their business interests while completely disregarding the native peoples’ pre-existing autochthonous national and political boundaries. To say that this singular act has done the most harm to Africans is an understatement. This particular insensitive colonial dabbling has been singularly responsible for more than 95% of all the seemingly endemic socio-political conflicts and economic retrogression as they exist today in Africa.

The Igbo like many others in Africa have suffered severely from this colonial mistake of the Berlin conference. After so many years of pain and suffering resulting from thence, the Igbo have now decided to take their fate in their own hands and work to restore themselves to the original or at least close enough state in which they were before the European meddling. The first and foremost step toward achieving this self-dignity is of course freedom and independence through the principles of Self Determination as it’s defined in the United Nations Charter.

The Europeans did not vote or hold any referendum in order to carve up Africa and arbitrarily create states where national boarders did not recognize where different peoples belonged. Instead peoples with different and opposing world views were deliberately lumped together and pronounced citizens of the same countries or states. So, there is no reason why Igbo nation should cast votes or hold any referendum to decide whether they are Igbo or if they should live free in a separate and independent Igbo state or country. No one ever needs a referendum to assert who they are. A people like the Igbo are who they are and have the right to choose how they live and manage their own affairs under the United Nations principles of Self Determination and peoples’ right to independence.

Masterclass32:
Nigerian controversial singer, Charly Boyhas lamented that the Igbo businessmen seem to be the most hated group in Nigeria.

Speaking via a long epistle he sent out via his Instagram page, he used the case of Allen Onyema, the embattled owner of Air Peace, as a reference point.

He wrote:

We Are Biafrans.
Nigeria Doesn’t
Live in Me.
CharlyBoy.

Few years back , I watched a story on the Airpeace CEO, Allen Onyema as he was talking about his frustrations as a genuine business man who only wanted to provide service and make money. He was complaining about how the badly thought out economic policy of the government was frustrating his business.

He exposed to the world how aircrafts sent for servicing were stranded because of the crunch on foreign currency. Currency which we all knew was being wheeled and dealed by the faceless and nameless cabals in government……
na god go punish una for us.

He cried out to Nigerians, highlighting the millions of dollars lost because of some very senseless policies of government. After that day I became a big fan of air peace and I decided that I’ll patronize them every time I’m traveling their routes.

This was why I hailed his patriotism and sacrifice when South Africans were killing our people like flies and our government was dining and feasting with our murderers. Even our shameless government wey no get national career no remember to do anything, I just dey wonder, na because dem be Omo Igbo’s?

See as dem been wan slander em name. See as everything for Naija don turn into dirty politics. Hmmmmmm……. make we think am ooo

In this country these days Igbo business Men no safe at all. They seem the most hated in the country. I just no dey understand. Is it a crime to come from the southeast and also be a successful businessman.

Una see how dem been deal with Jim Nwobodo of Savannah Bank, how about Cletus Ibeto of Ibeto Cement, una go still remember Innocent Chukwuma of Innoson Motors and now it is Allen Onyema of Air Peace.
Weytin dey play for this nyamanyama country sef?
Everybody now know and can see the reason why the Igbo’s want Biafra.
Too much injustice in the land. People from southern Kaduna nko? Ijaw people nko?

Igbo’s usually excel because they work hard and no matter the oppression they always rise to the challenge. You can’t stop the river from flowing. You can tackle them all you want but they will forever keep on Trucking.
