Oduduwaa:Yes. Honestly we must dissolve this stupid forced marriage. I am a hundred percent sick and tired of them. I am a proud edo man who is knowledgeable on his history. I feel bad that colonialism happened. If only the British did not include us in their Nigeria. Igbo riff raffss would still be living in trees. |
So lately I've been indulgimg myself on Nigerian issues. And I've come to see that the sleeping beast known as tribalism has been awakened in Nigeria. Ofcourse we can say the IPOB movements served as the catalyst but I won't play the blame game for now. I formerly considered myself as a "detribalised Nigerian" but as of lately I can barely consider myself Nigerian. I don't want to talk much but this message is meant to my edo people. For some weird reason there's always this bad connotation on us whenever our name is mentioned. I've browsed threads here and on other places about edo people, and the comments from others are usually"they are wicked people!" "They are juju people", "they are prostitutes" and so on. What I find perculiar is that the same people saying this, whether Igbo or Yoruba etc. Can they tell me they have no wicked people in their tribe? Can they tell me not one person in their tribe practices juju? Can they tell me not one female person in their tribe is involved in prostitution whether in Nigeria or abroad. Infact I notice hatred for the edo's stem from the igbos the most. Which is weird considering igbos are located in the East while we are in the Midwest. And last I checked there were a sizeable amount of igbos living in edo state. What aggravated me to write this post was that I just saw a comment on a video of 2 edo women on a bus, fighting a man that apparently played them both. A normal person would feel empathy for the women because they were both tricked. But what I saw from the Igbo man who commented was "hmm...Edo 4 sure...Useless tribe, any woman that married from that tribe her mother will disown her". My edo people, it's high time we too advocate for our seccession. The disrespect on us is enough. We accomplished great things before Nigeria was created. While igbos were selling their own we did not sell our own. So what is bringing this disrespect? We edolites must think like the Yoruba's who put themselves first. I'm sorry to say but I've come to hate all tribes in that country. No wonder whites say our IQ is 67. Edo people should be wise. Just like the oba of Lagos said about Igbo people I wish the oba of Benin will say something similar so they can all move out of our state because I am seriously tired and irritated by them. Since they are holy, let them go! Let Biafra go! We should all go back to how things were before colonialism. My ancestors built a wall 16 times longer than the great Wall of china. Their houses incorporated fractal mathematics. They were the first to use Street lights in the world and their streets were said to be as clean as the best of Europe's. There is something wrong with these people from the east and honestly I don't care anymore. If that makes me a tribalist then so be it. Ayamiri must go! |
