I couldn't read the epistle but the answer is very simple - SE people have a universal mind. We don't play tribal, myopic politics like other regions. The first mayor of Enugu was a fulani man. That's how we roll

Lol, you don't play tribal, myopic politics just because you knew Ojukwu didn't even stand a chance of winning? Okay. And why did you guys vote for Hausa-Fulani Bashir Tofa over Abiola in 1993?

A very stupid country. Chronic orruption and incompetence everywhere. Batshit-crazy cluelessness and uselessness. And that's not even the real tragedy. The real tragedy is the fact that those of us rightly complaining about these things won't even do better - or will even do worse - when we get there. Maybe Frederick Lugard was/right in his racist diatribe about and against us. Shameless bunch. Dregs of humanity.

Limassol:
why was the goddamn team igbo-dominated? Out of nearly 250 ethnic groups?

I don't know. Perhaps you have an answer to your own question?

Fahdiga:
Shut up. His gangs are Buhari, Tinubu, Ahmed Lawal, Lai Muhammed, El Rufai and Joe Igbokwe

I don't do politics, but how come you only mentioned APC people? Or didn't you see Dino Melaye in the picture with Hushpuppi?

Lol, thank you for informing me that I don't have a purpose in life. Just let me take my L n peace.

In the exhibition games when they won USA did you talk...TRIBALISM mother of ha8. Oni and udoh are in the team.

In the exhibition game when they won the USA, some people too were chestbeating about how it was a win for their ethnic group since their make up over 90℅ of the team. So, cut this dude some slack if you didn't criticize people who gave all the glory to their ethnic group when they won USA and Argentina during the exhibition.

Beancounter94:
Even if we hired the 'good talents' you talk about, we would have still lost.

Nigeria , even if we put out our 'best team' is not good at basketball...largely because it is not a popular sport and thus there is a very thin talent pool to choose from

The countries that we have lost to so far, they have sports facilities in their secondary schools that some most Nigerian universities can only dream of. They also have structures in place...from youth to senior level...as well as lots of properly trained coaches.

In the US, which we lost to, there are basketball courts in many towns and even villages.

How many basketball courts exist in Nigerian villages? How many kids play basketball compared to football?

The day we take steps to improve these issues is the day we start winning and competing. For now, we have to rely on the limited talent pool that we have.

Oga, Nigeria is only "not good at basketball" in relation to the best basketball teams in the Western World. As far as Africa is concerned, we're "very good" at basketball. I can only think about the Angolans being Nigeria's main rivals in Africa

haslaw:
The UK and US are killing racism, while bigots like you are defending tribalism. You are a dangerous bigot and you need help if you didn't see the lopsided nature of the team.

Yoruba - 1
Hausa - 0
Igbo -13
Niger Delta -1
Tiv - 0
Igala - 0
Kanuri - 0
Fulani - 0
Other tribes- 0

Well, I don't know how I feel about this. But Emmanuel Amunike also did the same thing while he was Nigeria's U-17 coach.

Tranquillity360:
Zoo falling.

Lol, it's now become "zoo is falling" since the Igbo-dominated teams "both the male and female" are losing? Okay.

JohnBullMySon:
What kind of an idiot is this Can you name the talents that weren't selected?

Oga, while the dude you replied is only being silly, don't tell me Igbos won't cry foul about "Igbo marginalization" if only one Igbo was in the team.

kelvinalvin1:
In the exhibition games when they won USA did you talk...TRIBALISM mother of ha8. Oni and udoh are in the team.

Lol, but this is female basketball na. Have Oni and Udoh become female basketballers now?

Abeg madam Onyeka Onwenu leave story jare. Everyone knows your Eboe people condone primitive, ostentatious display of wealth. Or how else do you expect them to show the world that there are billionaires in Nnewi and Onitsha richer than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Next story joor!

BornRicch:
Why won't you learn instead of being arrogant. I'm sure you're an Afonja man.

Whatever, IPOB cretin.

GerogeI:
You are simply saying same thing, they borrowed the word, why does not matter. By Asari Dokubo's standard it should have been Bight of Iteskiri, since they were at the coast, lol.

Further more, The name Benin, formerly spelt Benen is also Portuguese, in case you are wondering. The real people actually refer to themselves as "Edo"

We're not "simply saying the same thing," buy okay. And please, what's the meaning of your newly formulated "Benen" in Portuguese?

Throwback:
And the Bight of Benin is named after which Benin?

So whatever route you take, you will still arrive at the fact that Republic of Benin is a borrow of the name Benin from the defunct empire that is in present day Nigeria.

It was named because it's located on the so-called "Bight of Benin". It wasn't named after the Benin empire, end of. But then, this is social media where people hold on tenaciously to the erroneous information they disseminate.

Throwback:
Well it is OK to borrow a name from a neighbouring tribe.

Gold Coast borrowed the Ghana name from the defunct Ghana empire in West Africa that was not anywhere near the territorial geography of modern Ghana.

Dahomey borrowed the Benin name from the defunct Benin empire in West Africa that is currently within Nigeria. So Dahomey became Benin Republic.

So I see nothing wrong that an Ijaw will provide the Igbos the name to call their Igboland, from the now defunct coastal description called Bight of Biafra.

"Dahomey borrowed the Benin name from the defunct Benin Empire." This is hardly accurate. Dahomey had to be changed since "Dahomey" was a Kingdom of the Fon people (just one of the ethnic groups in the country) and it wouldn't be proper to collectively call all the ethnic groups in the country Dahomeans. So, the solution was to choose a neutral name that would give other ethnic groups a sense of belonging, and they settled for "Republique du Benin" since it was located on the "Bight of Benin". So, no, it's erroneous to say "Dahomey borrowed the Benin name from the defunct Benin empire' without telling the whole story.

Fahdiga:
Atiku should go and sit down. We've had enough of Fulani madness and no reasonable southerner with a working brain will support anyone from Fulani stock again. Besides it is the turn of the Igbos to produce the president or everyone goes their separate ways

Lol, keep deluding yourself. Everyone knows your Eboe people will still troop out in their millions to vote for PDP's Hausa-Fulani candidate come 2023. We sabi una.

Monogamy:


The interesting part about 2023 presidential election, we are waiting for any southern person that will have mouth or gut to campaign for another Fulani to continue from where Buhari might have stopped

Lol, forget Eboe cries about Fulanization, Islamization or Northernization, they'll vote for an Hausa-Fulani a millionth time if APC eventually settles for a Yoruba. Don't forget Eboes voted for Hausa-Fulani Bashir Tofa over Abiola.

BiafIntel:
Jealousy will kill you instead of helping you.

You mean I'm jealous of IPOB cretins?

This is a false report from the stables of Lagos-Ibadan, Afonja, Ewedu media. You mean no investor finds the most deveroped region in Nigeria (where all the people are billionaires) appealing?

BKayy:
Bia OP Poiu11, I doubt. Quote me anywhere.
Ndigbo in Oyo state are more than the entire Yoruba in Oyo.
Go to Ibadan and see for yourself.
Ndigbo outnumber Yorubas in Oyo state

Lol, this guy na werey! But I thought you Eboes say it's only Ragos that your Eboe people come to in the South West? You mean your people are also that much in Ibadan, the same BROWN ROOF republic? What's chasing them from Eboeland, the most deveroped region in Nigeria?

BiafIntel:
TO HELL WITH YOUR USELESS BIG FOR NOTHING OYO EMPIRE.


U.S Academic Report Reveals The Most Brilliant Black African Race With Facts And Figures.

“If only environmental factors were responsible for the different IQs of different populations, we should expect to find some countries where Africans had higher IQs than Europeans. The failure to find a single country where this is the case points to the presence of a strong genetic factor.” Richard Lynn.

Are Igbos The Most Brilliant Black African Race? Facts And Figures From The US Academic Report 2015 Gives An accurate Answer to this.


Other than the current report of various Igbo students in the USA and Europe exceeding expectations at spectacular levels in their academic -, for example, the instance of Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna and Harold Ekeh who both scored entrance into all the eight Ivy League Schools in the USA, the insight of the Ibos (Igbos/Ndigbo) of southeastern Nigeria has been a subject of numerous examinations. The following is a US Academic report that addresses the subject utilizing truths, figures, numbers, and graphs (see Images/Charts) underneath. “Regression would explain why Black children born to high IQ, wealthy Black parents have test scores 2 to 4 points lower than do White children born to low IQ, poor White parents.” Arthur Jensen.

The fact that black immigrants to the United States have shown achievements that are superior to native black Americans has been a phenomenon studied since at least the 1970′s. At first, it was just the Caribbean blacks who were a subject of this unexpected outcome. As black Africans kept immigrating into the US, they showed even higher levels of achievement than the native blacks.

Many scholars theorized on the reasons for these differences, from Thomas Sowell’s proposal that this disproved the validity of discrimination against native blacks as an explanation for their underachievement (Sowell, 1978), to other scholars who suggested that these immigrants were just the most highly driven members of their home countries as evidenced by their willingness to migrate to a foreign country (Butcher, 1990). What most of these theories failed to predict was that the children of these immigrants would also show exceptional achievements, especially academically.

It is only in recent years, as the immigrants have stayed long enough to produce a sufficiently high number of offspring, that it has been observed that they are over-represented among high academic achievers, especially when compared to native blacks, particularly at very elite institutions. What has been missed in the IQ debate is the full logical implication of these achievements: they have effectively nullified any arguments for a racial evolutionary explanation of the well-known IQ test score gap between blacks and whites. Even more fatal for the racial hereditarian side of the debate has been the corroborating data of school children performance in the UK, particularly when the black Africans are divided into their respective nationalities and tribal ethnicities, as reported in the latter section of this article.

http://sundayadelajablog.com/us-academic-report-reveals-brilliant-black-african-race-facts-figures/

Aside the fact that no "US Academic Report" made any nonsensical, spurious claim that you Eboes are the "most brilliant African race," the existence of you utterly ignorant, low IQ IPOB lunatics alone has shown us the Eboes may actually be dumbest African race.

We are at the End of the End of times.
This Ship is Sinking!! JESUS only is the Means of Safety and Salvation.
Come into a relationship with KING JESUS so as to be Saved from what is Coming.

Lol, I knew this religitard would be here as usual to rant about some nonsensical "end time".

BKayy:
Obi cubana is a white man where Ijaw people are

The inferiority complex and obsession of you Eboes with wanting to see yourselves as whites though. Okay, whatever delusion makes you sleep better at night, IPOB boy.

BKayy:
Ijaw people are naturally very very black. Thats how they look like until they mix with Igbo, like the ones in Okirika. A natural Ijaw man or woman without Igbo blood is the blackest person you will see in Nigeria

So, any fair or light skinned Ijaw person has mixed up with Igbos? And yeah, that's how they look until they mix up with Igbos like Obi Cubana, Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi, Ekwerremadu, Mr. Ibu etc. Or does Obi Cubana have non-Igbo blood for having such "jet black skin"? Smh.

koondog:
Look at how jet black skin they are like Yorubas. These are majority Ijaws. The day I went to Nembe, I was shocked to how dark skin they are like south sudanese and Senegalese, and I kept asking the people with me, who are these people for God in Heaven? They don't look like native easterners at all, they look very different, more like Yorubas. I was told the Ijaws in present day Bayelsa and Ondo border from mixing with Yorubas had migrated to Nembe years ago. I said no wonder, they can't be native as they look different from Easterners native.

Aside the fact that you're a typical Eboe with room temperature IQ, can you please tell me what exactly is wrong with "jet black skin"? Do you mean Obi Cubana, Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi, Ekweremmadu, Mr. Ibu, Ill-Bliss etc are not Eboes for having "jet black skin"? Who cursed you Eboes with this much inferiority complex?

Weinberg:
The first book containing Igbo language was written by Olauda Equiano in his Autobiography

The first book authored in Igbo language was Isoama Ibo the Primer. And it was authored by Ajayi Crowther, a Yoruba man.

Weinberg:
The Igbo novel written by Ajayi crowther wasn't intelligible to over 99% Igbo people..
Igbo dialect obtained from Freed Slaves in Sierra Leone was used..Only Bonny Igbo, Opobo and Ndoki could understand the Igbo dialect used..This is why the book was acknowledged as the First Igbo literature

Typical Igbo, always coming up with all sorts of lame and spurious excuses. But whatever excuses you come up with, it still doesn't detract from the fact that a Yoruba man authored the first book authored in Igbo. That's enough.

Liebermantic:
Standard Yoruba has its origin in the 1850s, when Samuel A. Crowther, the first native African Anglican bishop, published a Yoruba grammar and started his translation of the Bible. Though for a large part based on the Ọyọ and Ibadan dialects, Standard Yoruba incorporates several features from other dialects

Does standard Igbo also have its originally in the 1800s when Ajayi Crowther wrote the first book in Igbo, Isoama Ibo the Primer?
