When has believing in yourself and that no measure put against you whether by your religion or government(colonial hardship or barriers) became "looking down" on others?

Coldfeet: Yesterday it was Elechi Amadi today it is Chinua Achebe! Why are the elderly of today not choosing their words with wisdom? Am IGBO by the way and I don't see myself as superior to others neither do I see others as superior to me! Things have indeed fallen apart.

I so much love the way in which Mazi Achebe, without guns,rifles or bombs, yet he shoots and hauls his targets many fits above the ground before smashing their big old fat and boneless heads against a very rocky surface with his bitter facts.

Yesterday, you were fulani the other day you were kanuri in borno after being a hausa in plateau and today you are Yoruba lagosian, only you! I will be waiting for you to unleash those fake multiple ethnic nairaland ids to back your lies.

alj harem: And she is edo as well. I am a lagosian as well thus you can consider me as a neutral if you like. You uncalled hate for the northerners is uncalled for.

Everyone have their short comings and I am not removing even mine but this superiority complex Achebe is displaying here is the dum.best thing a man as Old as him would do. He has no respect from himself and the people writing his article.

Mr. gworo wan, don't worry with or without ICJ, sooner or latter yourself and associates must get the gaddafi treatment.

CAP28 IS SHE+MALE AKA ALHJ_HAREM OR OKIJA JUJU, NOW YOU CAN BUG OFF.

shymexx: I nominate eGuerilla and Cap28!!

Huu huu! Alhj_harem aka jason123 aka lacasa, continue fooling yourself with multiple nairaland ids, soon you will appear with ancelot,torkata and many more. Get a life boko haram.

Umu Igbo mmamanu! Well, i nominate our brother EJINE to come and contest for the leadership.

Yes! What Achebe said is what Igbos say about themselves,we call a spade a spade period, while some neigbours are busy hiding the irritating behaviors about their tribe including noisy and gloating at Igbos about millions of Igbos they murdered during Biafra war. And not forgetting our millions they looted to buy themselves wuru wuru living and over night owembe party.

If you want you-robbers aka Yoruba ngbaticos dead for their sin, all you need to do is simply speak the truth and their fat boneless head will fell off and drop.

But just few weeks ago, a northerner spoke publicly on how the same man (awolowo)selfishly and shamelessly joined to fight against Biafra after being dangled with the promise of presidency if Biafra gets crushed. How come heaven didn't let loose by the Yorubas when the northerner made similar comment?

Why are you lots crying that the truth is spoken by the Igboman, why all the attacks that he spoke the plain truth which we all know and how come you lots crawled and hide in your caves when few weeks ago, a northerner made it clear that your wuru wuru awolowo dragged himself into the war only after the northerners promised (fooled)him to become the president if he helped them defeat Biafra for his greed and hunger to be president?

T9ksy: Of course its educative to a cloned slowpoke like your good self.

I tell you all, its time we give you modaphocking ingrates, the "Hausa/fulani" treatment. Maybe then you 'll learn to treat us with respect.

Am sure, you guys will not contemplate making similar remarks about the late sardunna of sokoto whom your son butchered in cold blood.

Thanks for the very educative link bro.

bashr8: stop twisting history , that yorubas have accepted their fate to be slaves to hausa fulanis does not mean igbos will.

[size=20pt]watch the whole incedent before and after the war including why army officer executed the coup because nigeria was in deep chaos coupled with yorubas klling themselves(over 2thousand yorubas killed by yorubas) and end your ignorance.[/size]

My dear, quit being in a hurry just to get noticed, if the videos that you have just hurriedly posted on here is to give the BAMILEKE race a bad image because some of them live and conduct their businesses in DOUALA think again, By the way BAFUSAM is not inhabited only by the BAMILEKES.

CAMEROONPRIDE: all aliens who doesn't live in their state or region of origin capiche

CAMEROONPRIDE: now it's clearer thanks ...and i agree with that ..you don't leave your shithole to degrade people's villages

Who exactly do you mean? Please i will like to know and thanks in advance.

What can you not understand? Your wife is taking your azzzz to court for divorce,you are no longer popular.

ndu_chucks: You intellectuals and elitists should be ashamed of yourselves for promoting the violation of human rights of fellow Nigerians instead of spending energy to prevent same.

This action by Ogun state cannot be enforced and will be resisted by force. The state official who made this announcement is irresponsible and just playing for cheap publicity - I await his enforcement of this rule.

I'll probably work to organize herdsmen to dare authorities to enforce this rule. Nonesense!!!

Just like i said before, it will make a real sense if they embark on hostage taking of those illiterate nigerian army officers like yakubu gowon,danjuma,obasonjo,babangida,buhari & co, plus those evil politicians who hatched and supported the fraud in the 1960s that defrauded the people bakassi their dignity.

Mr.gowon, this can never erase your genocidal record against Ndigbo, the hague awaits you.

If you have issues with my post and are seriously have concerns about islam and it's image, i suggest you start by having serious and honest talks with millions of your devilish incarnated imams/sheiks all over the word, just like the ones who would climb any mountain just to live up to their satanic mission. Why are you zombies not going on killing and protesting against what your devilish imam/sheik did to an innocent christian girl in pakistan? Bunch of devilsh zombies!

Hazyz: your village devil

Why taking the matter to Goodluck Jonathan when the entire nigeria's justice system is controlled by their northern brothers? If really they are being honest to themselves.

And the fuckt@rd zombies who are well adopted by the devil himself are out for killing rituals to their devil again. TUFIAKWA!

Who sent to you (kogi people) to steal anambra oil, were you sent by the northern mafia?

And the victims of obasonju are here attacking the man idris, chei/tufiakwa! zombie disease is a killer disease for sure.

I wouldn't mind if my area URUMBA SOUTH & NORTH are removed from ANAMBRA STATE,in order to make alaigbo equal to others but they must make sure the name is Igbo and not English or any other language.

My question to the concerns is, is it too big a thing for someone/anyone to come up and ask those who are insulting Igbos in the "interest of the Igalas" to leave Igalas alone and mind their own business, or is it always easy and fashionable to ignore what was/being said against Igbos and start listing what was done by or said Igbos will do?

Revolva: Wellsaid bro and said rightfully yes aguleri side but borders to ibaji also so all that region will share the oil both anambra and ibaji kogi - they noth understand demselves better than all this other part of igbos that don't even know where that is - only they know is onitsha that's all...and awka--meanwhile the fallen agabaidu - attah of igala - knows his kingdom where it starts from and ended in ibaji..and he also knows igala speakers in anambra edo delta..all are ibaji indigines who spread to that area...

All the name calling won't solve anything, it will helpful for yourselves to also acknowledge that there a lot of people spewing spiting on Igbos and claiming Igalas are more Yoruba than Igbo, and will join the Yorubas or hausas to spite on igbos. So who alone has such right?

Revolva: Oma ibaji omi che- ibaji means river settlers - ibe- people aji-river (ibe aji)ibaji - river people are igalas found around the river niger bank which flows south to the east and south south ...we speak our dialect of igala -but there are some part that faces anambra and am sure its where oil is found -due to the fact they intermarry with igbos and speak the language -look in ma village we have a lot of igbos here we don't discriminate them-but I don't know why anambra people look down upon us igalas callin us names we are not- its a shame to you anambarians who don't know about ur common tradition with igalas- we share almost the same diety - market days-i have many anambra friends you may tink am igbo also that shows toleration but some ewu nnama bigot is here callin igalaman fulani -hahaha due to tje fact that some igalas are muslim _remember its just a religion forced on us even christianity also is not ours as african

Well, isn't that very shameful of a malam boko haram with the blood innocent people on his hand to jump all the way from CORE NORTHERNISTAN at the mention of oil?

nagoma: The oil belong to igala and Igbo want to steal it.

My brother, i my only hope is that the hausa/fulanis are told by our Igala brothers to stop forcing themselves to be spokespeople of the Igalas,that is where the confusions come in. NDEWO!

His Majesty: Dont mind some of these ignorant Igbo people, My village Igbedor is an Igala-speaking community in present day Anambra state, and according to the legend we've inhabited the land since over 700years ago. Personally i do not give a bleep about wherever the oil source is from, let its proceed just be used to develop Nigeria.

Yes, i agree with you, so this nonsense can stop, and that might save us a lot of things.

bashr8: i think orient petroleum should just cancel any exploration outside anambra to avoid confusion and controversy .

And many of the so called kogi people in this thread are actually not even from Igala, so it's what the Yorubas and hausa/fulanis do always with fake ids claiming other communities, some even sign in as Igbos too just to say horrible things against the Igalas hope you know it's nairaland after all.

One_Naira: So let me get this straight. Most of the oil discovered is in Anambra with a small portion in Enugu, Kogi, and Delta. Because of that small portion, kogi state wants to lay claim for oil found predominantly in Anambra. SMH. Greediness is such an ugly trait. Ask for compensation. This oil sef, what a curse.
