Munmusionist aka Igboid aka pazienzia aka first class oloddo always talking nonsense as usual.

You should have shown any pre colonial document that shows that Igbo existed. Igbo that did not even exist until less than 200 years ago. Munmun man.

You are tired of opening threads everyday on nairaland for you and your fellow disggusting idiots to be disparaging and insulting Ikwerrre people.

Come anywhere near Ikwerre land come do that your smelly and idi0tic “unification” mek your body talk to you shameless people.

Igbo-Ukwu where the name igbo comes from was the capital of NRI kingdom, NRI kingdom existed since the 9th century older than the Benin you migrated from Benin was established in the 14th century,

I always laugh anytime I read this pathetic funny history of how the name ikwerre came to be
Read your history
the name “Ikwerre” was given by the colonial administration when they wanted to acquire the Rebisi waterfront to build the wharf. Using an igbo interpreter to talk to the illiterate Rebisi (Port Harcourt) chiefs, they asked them: Would you permit us to use the waterfront to build the wharf(Seaport)for ships to berth? And they answered: A KWERULEM , meaning – “We have agreed.”
What the white-man was hearing was “Ikwerre,” so he recorded it in the official gazette that the IKWERRE PEOPLE have agreed for the colonial administration to build the wharf. And since it was the official record of government, the name Ikwerre became the name of the Iwhnurohna people in all official documentations till date.


Why was an igbo interpreter hired to speak to ikwerre people if the language the spoke was not igbo ?

Tranquill:
How are they even speaking “Igbo language” when they are not Igbo? Does Igala or Itsekiri speak Yoruba Language? Does Gwandara, Nupe, Tiv etc speak Hausa language? Does Efik speak Annang language? Does Sweden speak Norwegian or Danish language? Does Spain speak Portuguese language?

Igbo idi0ts will sit down in one okpa shop in Awka and be claiming that another ethnic nationality speak “our language” when they who claim to be Jewish migrants should be speaking Hebrew. I find it really comical..

You sons of Benin will explain tire ,as long as we are concerned ikwerre speaks an igbo dialect, you sons of Benin runaway prince don't have identity yet

DeLaRue:
Another example of decentralisation (indirect restructuring) by this government. Including local government autonomy.

Exactly what Southerners have been asking for over the years.

Yet, some Southerners are clamouring for Mr Atiku in 2027 against a bold Southern president that is doing his best to reduce the concentration of power at the centre.

Only a few days ago, the federal government launched the start of construction of a new airport in Abia.

Yet, some people are hell bent on voting another Northern President so soon after Mr Buhari.

Na wa o.

This bold southern president should be bold enough to restructure Nigeria boldly not by doing it indirectly as you claim, cause he won't be president forever and whatever he does now can be undone when presidency returns to the north, if the south miss the chance to restructure Nigeria now then this idea of restructuring will never happen until the north discovers mineral resources that will give them economic advantage over the south

Ironfaceman:
All of you are scammers. Woke soyinka comes to mind a professor and Nobel laureate. Campaigned against a government he knew nothing about based on tribal sentiments. In 2024 the tribalist professor has lost his voice.
Dele is not different the only difference is that he hasn't found his cash cow.

Would you do something different if you were in there position?

EmperorCaesar:
Needless explanations

Needless thread then

I don’t want to imagine what Lagos would be like if it was administered by some other people and not the caliber of people we have at the helm of affairs since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 1999

As it stands, Lagos has set a machinery in place to continue to prosper and despite the threats by those who sit at home every Monday to move their businesses, Lagos has even made more progress

I came into the country early December and Lagos is far different from what it looked like last year. The streets are safe, parties everywhere, concerts everywhere and everyone is spending big

Yes I know there are still challenges here are there and it’s everywhere in the world but I have to give it to the Yoruba spirit for building cities worth envying

Since being in the country, I’ve visited Portharcourt, Calabar, Abuja, Kaduna, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Akure and Ado Ekiti. I must confess that in all these states, there has been tremendous progress and I mean tremendous progress

God bless Yorubaland

God bless Nigeria

Lagos is the city and everyone knows why Lagos is that city, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Akure, ado ekiti , brown roof republics

amaridigital:
Your response is without sense as usual. Who cares about what a group of people are called? Names can be changed anytime but ethnicity can't. The country Turkey just changed her name to Turkiye few years ago. We call you ibo and even the name Igbo can mean headbutt or Indian hemp in Yoruba. The list of 30 most talked about Africans contains two Igbo and eight Yoruba people. Deal with it.

Lol , what is the sense in what you just wrote?
Your name is your identity, the name yoruba you are mentioning as masters is a name given to you by Fulanis your real masters and to make it shameful enough the name is derogatory , good names can change, so drop the Fulani derogatory name before talking about master here cause as long as that name is concerned Fulanis own you , shut up

amaridigital:
Your list contains two Igbo and eight Yoruba people and yet you keep on hating your master the yorubas or you called the yorubas slaves to hausa-fulani who are almost absent in all records of human achievements out of envy. Gba fun Master.

You should first drop the name yoruba before talking about being a master or not cause history tells us the name yoruba was given to you by the Fulanis, as it stands you have no name yet , please get yourselves a name first

Watianoengineer:
Peter Obi better call Reno and apologize to him before it's too late. Reno is drowning Obi politically and nigerians will never vote Obi again

Can you tell me what Peter obi did to Reno ?

OneTwoOne:
First thing you should first clear your mind of is that EVERYTHING THAT'S DONE BY THE NORTHERNERS OR IN THE NORTH, MAYBE FOR ISLAM IS RIGHT. No, Islam is guided by laws and principles from the Qur'an and Hadith. They may be right or wrong in their actions

I can tell you boldly that it's not everywhere in the North non sales of alcohol exists, it happens in Kano, Zamfara as I'm aware of and that's because they included it in their State Law. It's their State Law that supported Hisbah police just as our State law supports Ebubeagu, Amotekun

So you have to respect their State Law just as you'll respect the law of the land in Anambra, Ogun or Bayelsa States.

That of Deborah, understand first that Blaspheme of Allah, Holy Prophet or any prophet of Allah is a grave sin so please don't blasphemy. Even Muslim MUST not blaspheme

The Shariah Court will adjudicate, determine wether she's guilty or not, and not as they did (mobbed her). That's not Shariah

Why should a none Muslim who is not under Islamic shari'a law be brought to shari'a court to determine if she's guilty of blasphemy? The Mohamed the Muslim prophet is a nobody to none Muslim so why should a none Muslim be held accountable for blasphemy of a religion he doesn't believe in ? Plus Deborah did not even mention the name Mohamed in that Whatsapp conversation that led to her death , she only talked about her faith , Jesus and the holy ghost fire

OneTwoOne:
While reading through the comments of some individuals regarding the formalization of Shariah Court in Oyo Town, I was perplexed by the level of misunderstanding, ignorance and illiteracy displayed by some set of people in their remarks.
I quote "The caliphate is creeping in silently" "They don dey come small small" What concern caliphate about shariah that has been in southwest before this person was born?

"Like play like play, Oyo will be a gonna too. This is just how Ilorin case started "

"The North knows the only way to get a strong hold of South is through southwest because South South and South East will not allow them" These are pure display of ignorance. We have larger percentage of Muslims in Edo State, infact they dominated Edo North

Many seemed to believe that Islam and its practices, including the Shariah legal system, are exclusive to the Hausa ethnic group and Northern Nigeria. This misconception is not only erroneous but also reflects a lack of proper understanding of Islam’s universal teachings and the unwilling to accept the truth even after being educated.

Islam is not confined to any region, ethnicity, or tribe. It is a religion meant for all of humanity, as affirmed by the Qur'an and Sunnah. It is vital to correct these flawed perspectives and highlight that Muslims in Nigeria come from diverse ethnic and regional backgrounds, including the South West, South South, and South East, where Islam has been deeply rooted for centuries.
As a Yoruba man, I have lived in the core North, South South for close to 10 years so I understand what I'm saying.

Islam, as a religion, transcends geographical and cultural boundaries.

The Qur’an states:
“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.” (Qur'an 21:107)
This verse makes it clear that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a mercy to all humanity, not just a specific group of people.

Additionally, Allah says:
“O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.” (Qur'an 49:13)
This verse emphasizes that piety and righteousness are the only criteria for distinction in Islam, not ethnicity or regional origin.

Shariah courts and Islamic legal systems are established to serve the Muslim Ummah (community) wherever Muslims reside. Their existence in the South West and other parts of Nigeria is a reflection of the region’s commitment to Islamic principles and not an imposition by any ethnic group.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“Whoever seeks a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make the path to Paradise easy for him.” (Muslim)
This Hadith underscores the importance of understanding and applying Islamic teachings, including Shariah, across all Muslim communities, irrespective of their ethnic or regional background.

Shariah courts adjudicate matters specific to Muslims, guided by the Qur’an and Sunnah. Non-Muslims are not subject to Shariah unless they voluntarily seek its arbitration.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
“The affairs of the Muslims are to be decided by the Qur’an and Sunnah.” ( Ibn Majah)
This makes it clear that Shariah courts exist solely to serve the needs of Muslims.


Also, the idea that Yoruba, Igbo, or Edo Muslims are "fake Muslims" by some educated illiterate is baseless and contrary to Islamic teachings. Muslims across Nigeria, whether from the North, South West, South South, or South East, are united under one Ummah.

".....Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.” (Qur'an 49:13)

As I reflect on these comments, I realized the urgent need to address such misconceptions that has been going on for years on this forum and beyond, educate others on the universal nature of Islam. Islam is not owned by any ethnic group or region. The presence of Shariah courts in places like Oyo Town is not an imposition by the North but a reflection of the Islamic practice that has existed in the South West for centuries. Muslims across Nigeria, regardless of their ethnic background, are part of the same Ummah, united by the Qur’an and Sunnah.

It is crucial to abandon the divisive narrative that attributes Islam to a particular group. Instead, we must embrace the understanding that Islam, as taught by the Qur’an, is a religion for all who submit to Allah.

Why are none Muslims in the north forced not to sell or buy alcohol in the north? Why was Deborah mobbed my Muslims for talking about Jesus and holyghost in a student Whatsapp group?

ckenneths:
Yes, some works has started there already. They are currently securing the site and clearing out the inside of the mega hospital.

It's like they are demolishing some of the structures at the site to build new ones from the scratch with a different design?

I'm happy he is on a mission to complete all abandoned projects, the contract to complete the abandoned hospital project close to the Enugu international conference center was awarded too

Irony1:
Try and be sensible and stop yapping rubbish.

I don't owe any yoruba person a sensible opinion, they want to hear rubbish and rubbish I will give them

EmperorCaesar:
Your unbelief wont change the reality of things

The world is bigger than your belief system, Kachi

Good, the reality could be this never happened

EmperorCaesar:



Underdevelopment no dey tire you?

These ones are not serious abeg

FG wan build your city, but small community mindset no dey gree una

Igboland is one of the most built up region in Nigeria, we build without the help of federal government

TimeManager:
All this 'it is my land, it is our land ' in the SE to delay or frustrate projects could be very annoying. Tinubu should relocate the two projects to Imo or Ebonyi states, those ones are more serious.


-Kiss the truth!

Why not relocate it to ekiti or Ogun, we don't have free lands in igboland we only have 5 plots of land

I don't believe this story

obataokenwa:
Cos their own visible for all to see.

Money solves majority of problems poor people suffer from

The yoruba guy will be released at 84 yrs then deported to join his ancestors

obataokenwa:
So what am I saying? Everything about life comes with an expensive price tag. Riches attracts spirits and they may trouble you with health, children or burdens that will never leave no matter what.

I don't believe that, cause poor people suffer more from these things you mentioned

obataokenwa:
I believe you're still a kid trying to come up in life. When you arrive at every destination, nothing matters again. Alexander the great conquered the whole world and he started crying, they asked him why, he said cos no world to conquer again. The sacrifice to remain rich is not worth it.

Like you said Alexander conquered the world and found no world to conquer, he could have kept going if there was more for him to conquer, if you have the strength to conquer the world do that, it's better to make use of your youthful strength than to let it waste doing nothing

topatee:
The objective of these greedy businessmen is not of development but exploitation. The only thing they are interested in is profit at any cost.
The love and celebration of wealth at whatever cost is the issue in this part of the country.

If those who make the fake are supported to make the quality they won't make the fake, when the cost of making something quality is high people make alot of fake cause it's cheaper to make

obataokenwa:
What do you define as being rich. Who told you rich people don't have consequences. I've attempted many things in life, at the end being rich is not a good thing.

being rich , being successful is not a good thing?

obataokenwa:
The new guy will now carry problem that doesn't concern him. There's nothing on earth will make that girl escape the consequences. Don't marry such girl cos u will regret it

What consequences? Do you know alot of rich successful people did alot of bad things to people to make it to the top ?

OGwales:
Ndi developers indeed.

Ipob gunmen will killed with guns

Dem business people will also kill with fake products.

How I wish those products wont leave their region so they will be consuming all the fake products alone 😕 😕 😕


THESE PEOPLE ARE THE REAL KILLERS OF OUR ECONOMY, IMAGINE, HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE GENUINE COMPANIES TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS?

Better than skull mining and human body part merchandise

triple996:
NA DEM
Very criminal minded people
Everything na fake
Even human beings are fake there(baby factory)

Manufacturing fake products is better than killing people for human sacrifice that does not work

And if anyone can manufactur a fake human being such a person should be worshiped like a God

RecentHistory:
After drinking and taking all manner of fake drugs, fake drinks and fake everything, they start behaving like animals wherever they go.

Clap for yourself cause as long as you live in Nigeria, you have tasted the fake in one way or the other

Godwin4444:
Even ordinary Fanta n bigi cola

They should please give this people their country, they don't deserve to coexist with others abeg

Fake drugs even for children all because of money, haba!!!

Zhike, RandDigital, Lioness528,

The same people u complain of in your country are d same people we too are tired of here, the same madness they do here is what they export to other countries

If they can make the fake they can also make the original, give them the support to make the original, we won't even be discussing about giving people a country if Nigeria had just let biafra be independent, biafra had all it takes to be one of the greatest country in Africa

How about oriania are they going to close down school in that town and force them to accept black people in that town?

Axis313:
I wonder how some slowpokes believes that a human being like them that eat,piss,defecate and sleeps is "God".Surely,those colonial missionaries have done a very good work on these gullible sheeples.

Before the colonial missionaries, our people worshiped wood and clay sculptures caved with their own hands ,our people worshiped fish , birds , dogs cats and different types of animals, so even if a man beliefs another man who does unusual things is a God isn't that better than the wood clay and animals our ancestors worshiped?

Judolisco:
can those countries leaving feed themselves.... What exactly are we benefiting from them?

Was Nigeria feeding them before? Nigeria export local products to those countries so Nigeria benefits from free trade
