Basics in Europe? I didn't know that Nairaland is for Europeans and about Europe. Thanks for enlightening me.

Ok attempt at sarcasm. Welldone !

I Didn’t say it was about Europe

I was drawing a comparison

Here in Nigeria those things are seen as a privilege and signs of wealth

But in saner climes are accessible to most

TheUpsetGirl1:
Good..

what's up?

Nothing. About to sleep

But I do think one shouldn’t come out all guns blazing with women.

But then, if you come as a pauper and she falls for you doesn’t that mean other paupers can also get her?

TheUpsetGirl1:
cars, food and clothing ain't wealth?

how many people can afford them in naija?

dude it's not a must to quote people, even if you must quote.. don't quote me to say trash

You shouldn’t have replied my “trash”

I was only reasoning

Didn’t mean any disrespect

Peace

TheUpsetGirl1:
you're right...


It's hard to find a non materialistic lady here in naija..


I like this new wave.. guys should start faking broke to know if their babes really love them...


menh,I'll hide my iPhone and go with a Nokia torch to woo a lady...


family life sha..

A lot of people have a low mentality

What wealth? Cars, food and clothing ?

Those are basics in Europe

You should be hiding your identity if you are the son of a billionaire or something like that

Human society is such a patriarchy

I can only but imagine the uproar from people when they hear that a young man is sleeping with an older woman, who is someone’s wife

But a young woman can bang someone’s husband

And the guy is a gee

But sugar mummies don’t have it that easy if found out

macof:
exactly
How many reading this now know that native Africans made up the large portion of the Moorish invasion of Europe? Yet some sit back in their small villages claiming a non existent achievement just to spite a neighbour rather than consider the achievement of one African nation as a cause of pride for all

Black emirs had harems with hundreds of Turkish and European women for their delight

That’s why I’m moorish

Imperial

macof:
you see?!
Foreigners look at Africa as a land without history, our youths cannot mention 5 kingdoms of pre-colonial Africa.
And even blacks in the diaspora are taught that Africa was savage and uncivilized.. till now, even on this thread people are calling Yoruba, Edo, Igbo tribes.. can you call French, German, Dutch tribes?
Ego tripping and refusal to learn, our people feel they know it all already without any struggle to obtain the knowledge. Why won't there be enmity? Everyone wants to show himself

The same Europeans we worship today, we taught them how to bathe

We did rule Southern Europe for 700 years. But how many Africans know this

Moneywomen17:
so why doesn’t ibo show us respect and we will show them respect back

I’m talking from an individual, human perspective

People are more open and warm up better to people who have good and genuine intentions about them

I laugh at the jokes between east and west

But I know even we yorubas will discriminate ourselves if we had our own sovereign nation

So the earlier Nigerians embrace a collective nationality, the better

shizzle1:
Igbos are adventurous in nature and known to travel far and wide, can't say same about others.

You right about the arochukwu warriors.. Good observation.

Nice having a chit -chat with you.. .cheers!

Speak to you soon bro

Moneywomen17:
don’t mind the guy see how he try to divert all the blame on Yoruba like a typical ibo. So Yoruba hate ibo and ibo just love them. They love Yoruba so much they call our land no mans land call us afonja and all sorts of name coz that’s how they show love. Nonsense ibo and Yoruba hate each other mutually

There is no people you show respect, who won’t show u love back

shizzle1:
you are very very reasonable and observant, the type of yoruba I want to have and keep as friends. I'm not surprised they almost lynched for speaking the truth

Truth is-Igbos a darn to busy to start thinking of Yorubas. An average Igbo man has his mind on eking out a living and being happy wherever we are. Igbos are peaceful, no time to start plotting evil or attacking anyone, but yet you see yorooba leave a discussion or topic about hausa or Fulani and turn it to Igbo bashing. Yorooba just love to see Igbos as enemies-fact.

He, was when the Oba of Lagos said he would throw Igbos into the lagoon if we don't vote his candidate (in a democracy'o) and you begin to wonder if some of these people are lunatics

I respect your folk

Biafra was also a huge crime against innocent human beings

I remember being in mbaise in 2016 for my guy’s wedding

Seeing those arochukwu warriors.. beautiful cultures

Most bigots need to travel more and appreciate other perspectives

shizzle1:
Really Sad story ...thats how intolerant that religiin can be.....anyway thank God she stuck to your dad and he was able to raise her the right way. Some men are egoistic, I agree



buhari is the worst mistake any country can make to have as a leader, when some of talk, we were called names of sort. Thank God hunger knows no tribe religion or political party.

You regret supporting buhari because you have conscience. Same cannot be said about those other buhari media cows (BMC) and zombie who either out of senseless hate for the Igbos or pdp refuse to see that buhari is a monumental failure and total disaster, and most of these shameless and foolish zombies I'm sorry to say are from your region-the south west

I am presently in lagos

Some men almost got physical with me for my opinions the other day

I asked them, how many times have u read in the news of igbos burning our houses in southwest

Or a fight between the two tribes

The antagonism between my people and yours is purely an egoistic thing that is baseless and very unproductive

I laugh at the jokes but we should know our limits

How can you hate a whole people?

There are numerous individuals from that tribe you will get along with if you make an attempt

macof:
Good you know my activities here for years. Im sure I don't come off as a bigot or unexposed ignoramus.

I have good intentions and hope for Africa, I think beyond Nigeria. That is why we need to set things straight, including our history. We cannot continue to treat ourselves as a people without history and tradition - it is from these we know our identity and obtain pride in it.

It is racists in England that made me study

I embraced an afro centric mindset

But most of us worship the white man

shizzle1:
Thats what we all craved for in our innocent and youthful days, but time came when you began to realize they you not really liked it you were been treated a particular way cos you are from a particular tribe or you bear a certain kind of name, then the narrative about the unity and passion began to change

Just before you could finish complaining, God decided to punish us more with an unrepentant , vindictive, illiterate, bigoted and Islamic fundamentalist as a president, whose unfortunate role is to further widen and deepen the division and trust among nigerians

Your mum from where?

My mum was a poor Muslim Fulani woman with a Yoruba mum

Married my dad, became Christian and got disowned. My dad practically raised her.

Most Nigerian men are unnecessarily egoistic

Buhari is highly bigoted. He widened the divide amongst Nigerians, hardly a unifier

I regret supporting Buhari

enonche85:
Only we Nigerians are allowed to insult ourselves. Anytime an outsider insults us the way we unify and respond with one voice gives me joy!.

I lived in Liverpool, England for a while

I was shocked at what I witnessed

Gangs with igbos, yoruba, Hausa and south south niggas rolling together

shizzle1:
The rhetoric didn't start today it's always been there, just that social media platforms has offered a more viable avenue and emboldened people to unleash the hate

whats your tribe?

That is true. But a Nigeria where it’s citizens are passionate about their flag and heritage, culture, it gives me a hard on.

We are respected in Africa

My father na ogbomosho man, From oyo state.

Y0ruba:
1. What you are quoting is Oyo’s history of Oduduwa. In as much as many Yoruba may identify with him, Oduduwa was and remains Ife’s business. He never lived anywhere else outside Ife, why Oyo of 14th century and everyone wants to draw up narratives about the man is quite disgusting. To the Ife people, Oduduwa lived among them and belonged to one of the communities in Ife. To Ife, he was an opportunist and usurper. A good number of compounds in Ife do not identify as ‘omo Oduduwa’. Oduduwa early history is IFE HISTORY not Yoruba’s history, please differentiate this.

2. Adetona is a revisionist. In Samuel Johnson, the old Ijebu king said an entirely different thing. Till today there is a compound in Ife from where Ijebu Ijesa from which Ijebu Ode & Ijebu Igbo progenitors emigrated. Ijebu Ijesa shares a lot of History & intense similarities with Ijebu Ode/Igbo - socially, culturally & politically. I will attach a picture of the recorded words of Awujale, his Balogun & the people of Ijebu in the 17th/18th century.

3. Awori never paid tributes to Olubini. Only the Eko king did. Awori had their own ruler in Olotto. The Awori let the Bini whom the Yoruba generally regard as ‘cousins’ (a stupid mistake people make till today) and do their thing while they carried on with their own stuff too. Eleko’s relevance stemmed from having the first contact with the Europeans given his locale; the same situation with Alaafin & Ooni; Olugbo & Amapetu etc.

I can’t but respect your wealth of knowledge

Things I never knew before

Nice one

shizzle1:
you can't be preaching unity by merely fantcising about it, who fantasy epp?

Listen my friend, the only way there can be anything close to unity is to promote and entrench justice, equity and fairness, this is the only pre-condition to unity. Anything less is hogwash and a total waste of time Or at best will remain a fantasy.. ..Cheers

I don’t disagree

But some of the rhetoric we spew here online doesn’t help matters

I laugh at the jokes oh, even the funny jokes about my tribe, I enjoy the laughs

But in the real world/life, I am proud of all our collective hostories.

zeni7:
Kings visit kings
Politicians visit politicians
Celebrities visit celebrities
Rich visit rich

The southern youths most especially keep fighting over supremacy of universities, football clubs, celebrities, secret cults, religion believes, ethnicity and so on. No wonder Buhari said they are lazy and jobless.

The old men are strengthening their friendship and the southern youths are planing of how they will bomb themselves. They claim to be the leaders of tomorrow but my question is that Will the youth ever get it right?

Sometin is wrong in southern Nigeria, mayb that is y the north keeps ruling.

True words brother

I claim all the Nigerian cultures as my own

There is always something the other tribe does better

No one is supreme, cmon bros

shizzle1:
nigeria isn't united and can never be. Stop the self deceit

I did not say we are united. I only fantasize and dream of it

It’s a force that will be reckoned with

Mutual respect and development

macof:
i respect bini too. It was a kingdom all Africans should be proud of but these people of today are hateful and disrespectful for a people of such insignificant landmass and population
They have no place in a greater Africa of tomorrow with attitude like this. Their hatred towards Yorubas especially and all other Africans in general is disgusting
They are ignorant, boastful, rude, dishonest

I stand by it, when provoked these people should gain no mercy. Yorubas have treated them as brothers for too long

I used to be a lurker for years here. I recognize your name

See, there is no human on earth that you will show respect that won’t reciprocate

I have lived in different places in naija. We need to travel more and stop stereotyping

Imagine the diversity of naija if we harness it

E no Sabi straff

What does it profit a man to vote for Buhari twice ?

macof:
honestly this Edo people need to be taught a lesson. They are getting too wild and disrespectful to people who can wipe them out if provoked

Don’t be too arrogant

I am Yoruba and I love my culture

I also respect Benin. It was mighty

ariesbull:
Do you realize this small boy that we have Onicha anglicised Onitsha in all Igbo land

Onicha Ukwuani Delta
Onicha ugbo Delta
Onicha mmili Anambra
Onicha Mbaise imo
Onicha uboma imo
Onicha ngwa Abia
Onicha ezza Enugu


Now all these Onicha are Benin right....confused souls

Do Benin bear Onicha

Your asking me the meaning of Onicha ....is it the Benin that the NRI priest thought artistry and administration because NRI civilisation is far older that these small minority Benin

Abeg face your Yoruba cousins...we Igbo have nothing.... absolutely nothing to do with you...we see you in condescending manner

Nwanne you don’t have to be arrogant

We (Nigeria) whatever tribes have a lot of pre colonial history to be proud of

How can you look down on me a Yoruba, when I have a deep love and respect for you brothers in east

We can yab eachother oh but for me the love and respect is still there

Imagine Nigeria united ?

dasparrow:
You are a typical Nigerian idiot born to equally not-so-bright parents. For your Information, Chimamanda Adichie is already married and has a child. She does not live in your 3rd world shithole country Nigeria where being a glorified housemaid AKA wife and mother is all women are expected to aspire to.

Respect is earned and not automatically handed over to you on a silver platter all because you came into this world with a dick. You can only get away with your chauvinism in Nigeria. You can't get away with it in sane advanced climes. In fact, more and more people with functioning brains are realising that marriage these days are overrated.

Even in Nigeria you 3rd world idiots who don't even know what it is like to have uninterrupted power supply 24/7 have no respect for the marriage institution. That is why most of you have no problems cheating on your spouses and infecting them with all manners of diseases.

As for freeze the melanin-deficient ape, he needs to mind his business and get a life because he has none. Who cares if he respects Chimamanda or not? The international community respects her and that's what matters and not the respect of some 3rd world chauvinist primate sitting in a zoo called Nigeria in West Africa.

Never seen more contradictions and hypocrisy in one post

I hear you on african patriarchy... but..

But you lost it while being racist to your own people

Most especially to daddy freeze

Person like this Chimamanda, if u marry am put for house your hell fire don start already here for earth

lilmax:
okay sweetness

what makes a lady give "necessary" attitude to a guy? .....oh my days

Clever

I will bow to her and tell her how beautiful she is constantly

Then slowly begin to control her with my sword

The Igbo onslaught is coming

Make I help una

AFONJA!!!
