Did you read through the sources actually attached in each of the posts or you want me to repost it for you here to show how you are incapable of actually taking the time to look at the information.

if you had looked carefully you would have seen that I also commented on that thread and this is 4 years ago.

I am not sure why some people are so adamant to be set in their way of thinking instead of actually expanding their knowledge base. It bewilders me?

SMH!

for the record I am not Yoruba so I don't know what jealousy you are referring to. It is quite ignorant for a Nigerian to not realize that the person he maybe conversing with is from one of the multiplicities of languages/ethnic groups in their own country only to assume or narrow down feuds to between three groups.



If this is not the case where do Igbo's come from and how can you authenticate this history outside of folktales?



I do not contend this point but this has nothing to do with my earlier statement about a central African for Yoruba peoples


This is just your view point I don't know how much this resonates with other groups from the region. What is true is the Igbo are the largest ethnic group but that does not translate to anything more than that.



The Kwa languages are linked to the Gbe languages of the west. The Yoruba language falls in between these two language phylums. The Kwa language extends back into the camerouns which lends credence to the strong theory that migratory patterns likely occurred from there for speakers of this Language. Another possible route would be "West central" Africa placing the Yoruba and Igbo migrations coming in from what is today known as the the central African republic.

Your problem is that you are stuck in a simplistic identification of people and cannot comprehend that there were proto speakers of certain languages that existed in the past and diverged. I will not argue this with you because it is obvious you do not understand any ot if.

Genetically speaking Yoruba's and every other group to their east are quite similar and related as compared to Sahel and Savannah dwelling peoples and their lineages likely emanate from Proto-Bantu groups that spread across Africa. If you don't understand this please go and read, educate your mind.

The light skin gene variant common in the Igbo and some other groups in Africa is an ancient variation of the SL42a45 gene that gives most non Africans their skin tone. There is nothing special about that and this gene is present in other groups but only more pronounced in Igbos. This is a silly way of pointing out Igbos as they come in many color variants similar to their counter parts in other parts of Africa.



There is nothing Yoruba's need to be jealous about Igbo's. They excel in pretty much every endeavor that is managed by Igbos with the slight difference being Igbos are more industrious while Yorubas concentrate on education to advance their progression.

Good luck with your Biafra, when you get it let's see what you become, until then all na mouth

morpheus24:
I do not agree. The Yoruba, Benin, Igbo, Kalabari and Efik/Ibibio peoples all migrated very likely from central Africa in their spaces right now, linguistics, genetics and cultural similarities attest to this as compared to Sahelian peoples who would include the Hausa, Chadic, Sudanic peoples who have a more distinct genetic material and culture.




I don't different between political Islamic ideology and the practice of Islam. They are one and the same

I would contend that this is impossible at this time in history. The North is entrenched with Islamic ideology be it moderate or extreme. The Yoruba's are muslims as well but far more progressive in their practice of the religion. As always they have found a way to marry their cultural traditions seamlessly with the Islamic faith. Some will say they are not real Muslims, well that's their opinion. I call them Progressive muslims.



There is more of a contempt for Igbos in the North than a fear as you put it, viewed as a radical and less cultured people if you ask me. In fact I tend to believe it extends to all Southerners in general. Yoruba's trust Igbo's much less because of their relentless drive for wealth to the detriment of developing a progressive culture if you ask me and the other minority tribes in the South fear them because of the potential to dominate.



Igbo's have an insatiable appetite for wealth, which is not necessarily a bad thing but when the quest for this is taken to the extreme where one's morality and ethics are undermined it becomes a problem for any and everyone in close proximity. The individual is glorified in Igbo culture and in Yoruba culture the community is more valued. These values amongst the two groups are in contradiction but are more manageable as against the Hausa/Igbo relationship.

In terms of Nigeria breaking up into three pieces, this is fallacy and for the following reasons.

1. The Igbo cannot create a third region without a consensus of the minority tribes in that area.

2. The middle belt are in a conundrum because they constitute groups that sit in between all three regions. Where will their allegiance lay?


The so called Biafra is not that simple in reality.

morpheus24:
1.The Fulani's brought Islam into the country which added to the already strong cultural differences between the North and the South, creating a much more conservative religious way of life in the North compared with the much more liberal and progressive society in the South.

2. Nigeria has two many ethnic groups concentrated in one area that never had the opportunity to merge naturally into smaller less ethnic- diverse states. South Africa on the other hand emanate from the more or less the same founder populations and are therefore more linguistically and culturally similar to one another, coupled with facing a similar enemy mitigated the issue of Tribalism.


3. I do believe Nigeria needs to separate between North and South amicably as the South has a more better chance of integration with its varying groups as they have done naturally through the centuries. Its not a definite that the South will survive but the odds are far better.

Tumbulum:
I believe that the southern part of the country can live together and succeed. They could form their own country and be successful. Even though Yoruba's and Igbo's seems not to like themselves which stems from our political differences, these two groups hardly fight themselves. These two groups can reach an agreement and adhere to it. These two most importantly believes in negotiations. They share similar values,believes in education, values humans lives and are generally peaceful. Cut off the North from the south and see an accelerated development of the south.

Glorymax:
We can remain one country but let us go regional, develops at ur pace

YorubaHero12:
Even Ojukwu will be amazed in his grave with this your lies. The Igbos since time immemorial have always been economic refugees. I watched a video where the Saraduna was talking about evicting all Igbos from his area during the regional government. You’ve always been nomadic right from time.

Printerscanner:
In the first Republic when Nigeria practised Regionalism, it was only Igbos that were running to other regions. Yorubas stayed in their region to develop it, Hausa/Fulanis went to other regions to sell their cows and return home while Igbos went to other regions to live permanently because Igbo region was not developed and will never be developed, even Ijaws, Urhobo, Itshekiri and others stayed in their home towns. Only Igbos can't live without other tribes.

KahlDrogo:
Red mud Shiite caliphate.

agboghai:
People should learn to think before they argue. For the information of some persons here, apart from Asaba, Agbor and kwale where you have a high population density of the Igbo's in Delta State, it cannot be compared to that of the Urohbo's in Uvwie, Warri, Ughelli, Udu, Abraka Sapele and co.

fratermathy:
Totally wrong. One, you don't measure population by the number of local government areas. Two, Urhobos are established well in Warri South LGA as a majority and in Patani as a minority. Three, Isoko has two LGAs. If you count the LGAs where Urhobos can be found ONLY in Delta State, you have a total of 10! If you add Isoko, then you have 12!

Apart from the LGAs, Urhobos have been authenticated by both the national census and voting strength as the most populous ethnic group in the state.


@Op: Population alone doesn't determine influence. In terms of influence, Urhobos are not resolute enough to have ample influence. Urhobos lack unity and that is their greatest undoing. Fortunately, nobody can ignore the population of the Urhobos.

Most importantly, I don't see any good that can come out of this post.

Osagyefo98:
Sometimes you will totally agree that most of these children on nairaland did pass an average waec level. Majority just bought phone, login to nairaland and boom chatting starts.


There are high degree of irrelevant questions that a sound mind should ignore or at least direct the person asking such to utilise facilities available to him in finding his answers.

We have population or should I say census data of each state and each local govt as at. 2006.

We have age long InEC data and voting strength of each region from 2007 to 2019 as it is been updated

Delta state on her own have classified data and public figures of thier own population and according to district.

Even the Internet and various journals and articles are here.

Instead of making use of data available to them, look at what they are doing and after they will. Blame buhari for looking for his waec certificate when their own can't be useful in their brain.

This forum is simply not a serious minded one.

iona Onasanya, the disgraced former Labour MP jailed for perverting the course of justice, has been struck off as a lawyer for trying to avoid a speeding fine.
The 35-year-old former Peterborough MP was barred from practising law after a Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal found she had acted dishonestly.
The one-time Labour whip was jailed in January for three months after being convicted at the Old Bailey for perverting the course of justice. Her brother, Festus, who helped her cover up the crime, was jailed for 10 months after pleading guilty to the same charge.
The tribunal sitting in London today found she had acted dishonestly, without integrity and failed to uphold the rule of law or behave in a way that would maintain the public’s trust.
Edward Nally, the chairman of the three panel tribunal, said: “The conviction has led to disastrous consequences for Miss Onasanya, both personally and professionally as a solicitor, albeit not a practising solicitor.
“A solicitor owes a duty to the court, as an officer of that court. While a parliamentarian makes the law, a solicitor must uphold the law and the rule of law. Sadly, in this case Miss Onasanya has failed.”
She qualified as a solicitor in 2015 and worked in property law until her election in June 2017, six weeks before her Nissan Micra was filmed speeding at 41mph in a 30mph zone in Thorney, Cambridgeshire.

Onasanya denied driving the car, instead telling police a Russian man lodging at the family home had been behind the wheel. However, it emerged he was in Russia at the time of the offence.
Onasanya admitted she was a solicitor in “name only.” However, throughout the hearing she maintained her innocence, despite an appeal against her conviction in March failing.
“I maintain and stand by the fact that I didn’t do what I have been convicted of - perverting the course of justice. And, I am pursuing avenues to clear my name.”
She declined to comment as she left the court with her mother, Paulina. Onasanya was ordered to pay £6,562 costs.
Following her conviction in December last year, she was booted out of the Labour Party
but continued to serve as an independent MP.
She served just 28 days of a three-month prison sentence and was released from Bronzefield prison in Surrey in February. However, she continued to receive her MP’s salary of £77,379.
She was kicked out of Parliament after more than 19,000 of her Peterborough constituents voted to oust her following her conviction.
She became the first MP to be removed as a result of a recall petition. She decided against running as an independent in the subsequent by-election, in which Labour clung onto the seat.

Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have led a peaceful protest in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State against the suspended Ruga programme of the Federal government and some other policies which they tagged as “bad.”

The protesters who trouped out in their numbers grounded human and vehicular movements along some major roads and streets in the state capital for several hours. They announced their total rejection of Ruga as they marched.

The peaceful protest was organised by the religious arm of IPOB known as Supreme Clergy Council of Biafra (SCCOB).

The IPOB members who wore Biafra insignias and brandished Biafra flags commenced their protest from Mechanic village. From there, they marched through Ogoja Road and branched to Gunning Road and marched through Abacha Roundabout to New Market Road before joining Afikpo Road through Vanco Junction.

Upon getting to Spera-in-Deo, they returned to Mechanic village from where they took off.

Security agents including policemen were on ground to ensure that the peaceful protest did not degenerate into a chaotic situation along the line. They also matched to in some strategic locations in the capital city during the peaceful protest.

Speaking to newsmen, leader of the protesters, Bishop Nwachinemere Stanley, said that they decided to embark on a peaceful protest to register their displeasure and total rejection of Ruga and other ‘bad’ policies of the Federal government.

Nwachinemere said: “We are members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the clergy department called Supreme Clergy Council of Biafra (SCCOB). We are the religious arm of Biafra restoration.

“Today, we the clergy and other departments in IPOB came out to express our dissatisfaction over the happenings in Nigeria including their evil plan to establish Ruga in Igboland. We are not in support of this their evil agenda. We are totally against Islamisation of Igboland. We are Biafrans, we are not Fulani.

“Security agencies tried to stop us but we resisted them and protested successfully against Ruga because we are preachers. We should stand out to speak the truth. We are called for freedom and we are not after anybody’s sorrow or tears. We are deliverers,” he said.

The IPOB cleric alleged that the security agents fired gunshot at them, an allegation which the police through its spokesperson in the state, DSP Loveth Odah denied.

“Security agents shot at us and I sustained a facial injury which I thank God it not serious,” Nwachinemere alleged.

Odah denied it, saying: “I don’t understand what they meant by facial injury because if an AK47 which the police use is shot at someone, one bullet can kill like five at a time. I don’t know what they mean by facial injury when we are talking about AK47. Or are they talking about shouting at them with a stick?

“The police officers did not go there to shoot at them. They went there to know why they were protesting. Why should we shoot at them? They were not violent. They were just very peaceful. And the people sent to that place were police officers with experience,” she added.

Continuing, Nwachinemere said: “This Ruga is a Fulani term. It is a secret plan to occupy indigenous land of our people and that is why we say no. If you want to come to a particular city to do business, you have to liaise with the people
and not to secretly rob them indirectly. No matter what they call this their evil plan, we reject every Islamic agenda.

“The scripture said that God is looking for a man to stand in the gap that the land might be free and that is what we have chosen to do. So, we are saying enough of Fulani Islamic agenda; enough of raping of our women. Enough of killing innocent people without a reason, kidnapping and others,” he added.

Nnewi-Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Monday announced the establishment of Biafra Aid Foundation in the United States of America.

Mazi Kanu in a statement he personally signed, but made available by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the establishment of the foundation is in fulfilment of the promise he made during his recent tour of the United States of America.
He said the foundation will enable IPOB to fast-track the restoration of Biafra and stem the tide of Fulani terror invasion of Biafra land.

“During my recently concluded tour of the United States, I promised to set up a US based charitable organisation to enable us fast-track the restoration of Biafra and stem the tide of Fulani terror invasion of our land.

“I am pleased to announce the establishment of Biafra Aid Foundation in the United States of America which I made public during last night’s special broadcast.
“As part of this process, a grassroots fundarising initiative was agreed. The official IPOB backed Biafra Aid Foundation bank account number is now available to enable Biafrans domiciled in the USA and lovers of freedom from all over the world to contribute just $1 charitable donation every blessed month until Biafra sovereignty is fully restored and Fulani terrorism completely eradicated from all territories of the south.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has provided evidence showing that there were plans to rig the general election in Abia State

In a tweet on his official Twitter page, the IPOB leader shared a fake result sheet for Abia State, adding that his plan to call off the boycott of the 2019 general election at the 11th hour was responsible for the panic that caused Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to announce a postponement of the election.

He tweeted, “One announcement calling off IPOB boycott late Thursday evening followed by 11th-hour postponement of elections by INEC late on Friday is confirmation of the colossal might of IPOB.

“One simple announcement and their rigging plans fell apart. Fake Abia result sheet now useless,” he added
