why should a toothpick importer not have a chance in 2027, when he will be running against a drug dealer?

RedboneSmith:
That is NOT how it works. The Khoisan people of Southern Africa have been determined by genetic studies to be the oldest human group on the face of the earth. By your logic, they should be numbering in billions too.

But Khoisan people are only about 100,000 people today.

The reason Khoisan people are as few as they are, is because other groups broke out of the Khoisan population to form their own ethnic groups.

To properly capture the real population of Khoisan people, you will also have to number the population of ethnic groups that broke out of the original Khoisan population.

Of course major.natural or unnatural disasters may have reduced their population drastically. But my point is that you cannot be throwing up numbers without giving me a statistical justification of that number

BrodaBenad:
what will you say about Ugwuele excavation dating Igbo presence there to the stone age 100,000 + years ago

Assume that there were one thousand Igbos a hundred thousand years ago, Igbos will be numbering in their billions today

you're not Jews nothing at all links you with semites in middle east stop being stvpid and loud

1. No genetic markers

2. No linguistic markers

3.No Archological evidence of items of ancient Igbo land points to semites in middle East.
again, you're more related to Yorubas and Edos Linguistically than any other group in the world

stop being stvpid

Culturally Igbos are more related to Jews than to Yorubas and Edos. You can take this to the bank.

NOw to further ruin your New Year, please go through this ruling from a Jewish Rabbinical court on Igbos

How did you know?

That is why Enugu state government has been sponsoring her, and no SW government has been sponsoring her.

Anyway you should also know that Reno is a confirmed Igbo hater, and would have been so to deny. Anessa her Igbo heritage, if he could successfully sell the falsehood that Vanessa is not Igbo.

And by the way, her last name is ADETSHINA and not ADESINA

PulaPower:
Till date, person never still understand the combo of her name..

Chidinma Adeshina..

Just understand that her father is from the SE

Which organisation arrested the spitter? Was it the Yoruba or Israeli law enforcement officers that arrested the Israeli that did that?

Who arrested Awolowo after he starved 3 million Igbo children to death? Nobody.

Ojiofor:
The problem you people have is to assume your village culture to be Igbo culture in general no it is not.
That is how you proclaimed EKE to be general resting day or market day across Igboland.
Yes I will never understand your concocted Igbrew Omenala that is not Omenala Igbo.

You just admitted that your own village has a Shabbat concept. Now you are rigmaroling. My own area and villages near my own village observe their day of rest on Eke days.
But I am also aware that some Igbo communities have different days, which is why I didn't argue with you when you gave me a different Shabbat day for your own community.

It obviously pained you when I proved to you that Igbos also have Passover concept. Something you obviously did not know. What that means is that your knowledge of Omenana Igbo is seriously limited.
Yorubas don't have Passover concept. So we are gradually arriving at the obvious conclusion that Igbo customs are more related to the Jewish customs than to Yoruba customs.
Yorubas have proven time and time again, that they are not really our siblings. Guess who they supported during our most trying times during the Nigeria-Biafra war? Guess those who used starvation as an instrument of war against Igbos.

I am happier being associated with the Jews, than with Yorubas. Thank God the Jewish hierarchy recognizes the links between Igbos and Jews also.

Ojiofor:
Leja and Ugwueke cave in Uturu are the two most oldest sites in Igboland that I know.
Attaching every Igbo civilization to Nri is what I oppose.

Have you heard of the Nsude pyramids in Enugu state? Apparently they're dedicated to the Ogwugwu shrine. Guess the clan that owns Ogwugwu shrine. Of course the Nris. They are the only clan that can set up Ogwugwu shrines.

What this means is that you cannot now talk about Nsude pyramids without considering the fact that Nri people have something to do with it.

Ojiofor:
We should be proud of our heritage as a people rather than claiming to be migrants in our own land by some people.It is pathetic.

Yorubas also claim to be migrants either from Egypt or that they fell from heaven.

BrodaBenad:
we'll follow evidence for now

lejja and Afikpo are the oldest based on archological evidence

Nri is the oldest kingdom that is the first people to have Eze

you know Eze originally means priest or skilled one
before it was now associated to king

that's a story for another day

Eze Nri still remains the high priest of the Igbo belief system, so Eze still has that priestly connotation

BrodaBenad:
you mnk boys are the reasons we're receiving insults upadan


we're Aboriginals here we're a people who started our civilization in the isolated forest here. we learnt weaving, we learnt how live and be independent.


We are not jews not even close


we're Africans and all our DNAs don't have any trace of middle East

you're more related to Yorubas linguistically
and genetically because we're in the volta Niger family of languages same with Edoid and akokoid groups

I am not even a fan of mnk.

While you are here clowning for Yorubas, the same Yorubas are knocking down your properties in Lagos, and always very willing to partner with Fulanis to keep Igbos marginalised.
Didn't you see how Tinubu and his minions usurped the Igbo turn, and you are here wishing to be liked by the Yorubas. They are not our relatives. A true brother will look after your interest. It is time Igbos become pragmatic and act accordingly. Igbos even have closer neighbours. Yoruba territory is hundreds of Kms from Igbo territory.

And by the way, Yorubas are all over YouTube trying to claim they are Jews. They are jealous of Igbos because Igbos have Israelite origins

Ojiofor:
No 1,If circumcision of male child on the 8th day is Jewish custom what about female circumcision widely practised in Igboland but not in Israel? Circumcision is African culture borrow by the Jews.
No2 is false.
No3 every village have their own market day like my village our rest and market day is Orie not Eke.
No4 is African traditional religion it is not only practised in Igboland.
This is my argument,you people claim to have migrated from Israel why then is the OP attaching Nri to Lejja metal site which scientists have dated to be over 6000 years which is way older than Eri/Gad the Jewish migrants to Igboland?
Abeg make una carry una confusion seat one place.

Falasha Jews of Ethiopia also practice female circumcision, and they are still considered Jews.

It is also clear your knowledge of Omenana is limited, otherwise you would have known that Igba nkwa and Onwa asato, encapsulate all the major practices of the Passover feast. Go and upgrade yourself before you jump on o this argument.

Now some other villages may even have Oye or Afor as their days of rest. The point being that their is always a day of rest.
Yorubas don't have a day of rest. So clearly Igbos have a Shabbat concept, just like the Jews. For Jews, it is Saturday and not Eke or Afor

Ojiofor:
Confusion everywhere,which of your Nri culture with ichi tribal marks all over the faces of your ancestors is heavily Israelite?

Even breaking of the kolanut is not Israelite, but the core of Igbo custom is Israelite
1. Circumcisions of male babies on the eighth day
2. Passover celebrations which are uniquely Israelite. Research Igba nkwa and onwa asato
3. Keeping the Sabbath day holy. Research why Eke market day is meant to be a day of rest in traditional Igbo so ieties
4. Feast of atonement and it's similarities with Ikpu Alu, carried out by Nri priests e.t.c

Ojiofor:
Una don attach una self to Lejja to claim ownership of that civilization
Nri/Eri claim to come from Israel still want to put claim to something that is way older than the Jews you people claim as your origin.

This claim is definitely not being made by Nri people.

Nri people are very ancient with a lot of civilising innovations that their fellow Igbo brothers and neighbouring ethnic groups have adopted.

Nri people are possibly from Israel because their culture is heavily Israelite.
That's possibly why the Jewish Rabbinical court ruled that this Levitical community ought to be recognized as Israelite Levites.
But Nri people don't adorn their attire with the star of David. It is Aguleri people who are attempting to commit cultural fraud, that are doing that. But in spite of this Aguleri move, the Rabbinical court didn't pay one single attention to them in their ruling. It was Nri that they recognized in spite of the fact that. Ri people hardly mention anything about their felt with Israel. Nri people are all about Igbo customs and traditions. They have no time for simping and clowning.

You may not want to hear or read this, but Igbo custom is more related to Jewish custom than to Yoruba or Ijaw customs

Napata77:
Ride on to where?

She will never be Prime Minister of Britain.

She’s been exposed as a toxic, unstable personality unpopular in her home country.

She’s finished politically.

Speak for yourself. I even like her. She will be around for a long while.

Hopefully when the Tories take over the government, Kemi will either be the Prime Minister or a high-ranking personality in government. We need such people in the inner caucus of the British establishment. No one can bamboozle them with some made-up Nigerian utopia.

xjiggy:
firstly it's not about tribe but about Dangote paying the most tax and not MTN. Secondly, You're incorrect. Kindly Name the 4 owned by Igbo. Before you Name Elumelu and Ovia, know that these guys are from Agbor... which is a people with mixed heritage.

Biko check out what Elumelu's younger brother said, about which ethnic group he belongs in.
Once again, I am happy Igbos are really the major tax payers in Nigeria.

A list meant to display Dangote's prowess, also showed how badass Igbos are, in the tax paying functions. No one can now say that Dangote pays more tax than all Igbos combined.
The reason being that just two Igbo-run companies already outperform Dangote's company in the tax payer list. Igbo bu odogwu.

At least replicate all this same buying, developing other places in your region . Who no like better things?

Wetin Charity do una? Today is Monday, una wan dey blow grammar online when you dare not come out on the order of some illiterate kids

An artist that's singing nonsense supposed to have ears to listen to his own wack song now

Lagoon is available for sale oo..

But you don already see Igbo villages with beautiful houses, making Igbo villages the best in Africa.
That is an example of Igbos developing their region.

fabolouz1:
You seem to be an ethnic bigot, what Reno is postulating is that Nigerian companies tax payment outweigh that of their foreign counterparts .
Nevertheless there is no company in that chart owned by someone from the igbo extraction.
Mr Tony Elemulu and Jim ovia are from Delta State , Mr Atedo Peterside is from Rivers .

Mr Tony Elumelu and Jim Ovia are ethnic Igbos from Delta state
ABC Orjiako and Ernest Ndukwe are ethnic Igbos from the SouthEast.

Igbo-owned or Igbo-controlled companies are dominating the tax payers list, in spite of the fact that Dangote's companies are present

buckeyemedia:
Which of the companies is an Igbo company, why must U always try & claim what belongs to others, what kind of Inferiority complex are u suffering from?

MTN Nigeria
UBA
Seplat
Zenith bank

are all Igbo-owned or Igbo-controlled companies. Eat your heart out

kedeojo:
Which igbos companies. Those bank has many tribes as shareholders. So that the like of Jim ovia, elumelu are the head don't means they own it hundred percent.

The same with Dangote's company. Dangote does not own all the shares in his company, yet Reno pointed out that Dangote's company leads in tax paying.
In the same vein, I still tell you that Igbo-owned or Igbo-controlled companies dominate in the tax paying game.

Her Israelite nose is dominating her picture

Congrats to her

From the chart, in the top 6 position, there are 4 Igbo owned or controlled companies.

Basically, Igbos are paying 402.9k out of 614.7k

So in spite of Dangote's dominance, Igbos are paying much more into the coffers of Nigeria that Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba companies put together, Dangote included.

Imagine if Dangote's companies are not there, how ridiculously Igbo companies will be dominating this chart. Igbos are even dominating the chart with Dangote's companies still there.

BeardedMeat:
Amaechi is too politically exposed.

Abeg you get oil for head.

Amaechi should not be elected to that position, otherwise powerful Igbo haters in government will secretly blackmail him and force him to do their bidding.

My choice is Uche Okwukwu, as he is not politically exposed and is a firebrand Igbo nationalist to the core

opuambe:
ijaw has 12 LGAs in Rivers State out of 23 ogonis with 4 LGA ekpeye and oyinbo are not igbos so how is it more of igbo than ijaw ?

If Oyigbo LGA is not Igbo, what ethnic group are they?

If Ekpeye is not Igboid, what ethnic groupoid are they?

BTW, Bonny and Opobo are way more Igbo-speaking than any other language.

santopelele:
If ijaw do anyhow, they see anyhow, na we get rivers state, i am a full blooded igbo from isiokpo in ikwerre local govt

You are obviously a descendant of Okpo Nwagidi.

When did this happen and when was it sanctioned by some Yoruba federation that it should happen?

The only place that Ndigbo came back to collect properties and backdated rent in after the civil war.

Ndi Yoruba don suffer sha.

I am referring to properties that Sanwoolu's government destroyed.

Or is Sanwoolu no longer a Yoruba man?

Oganigwe:
As for me as an Igbo man and Obi supporter, I personally don't like Tulumbu's government one bit, but I'm beginning to actually like T-pain as a person. It seems Tinubu is so far the only Southern leader who has the balls to stick a finger up to the Northern hegemony without fear or favor. For long the North have been allowed to get away with a lot of things in this country and our useless and cowardly Southern leaders would always suck up to their nonsense all in the name of currying Northern interest for political experiency.

I doubt even Obi would have the heart to take and implement some tough national decisions and measures that Tinubu is taking right now.

Nigeria must move on with or without the North, it's time for every subnational and state government have complete accountability for the running of its respective state's, it's time for state governors and legislators to actually stop being lazy by always depending on FAAC allocations from Abuja (which majority end up stealing without any evidential inputs and audits on how these monies are spent for the well being of the people).

It's time for certain states to stop leeching off on taxes generated from other productive states while they bring nothing to the national coffers of the nation, if this tax reform bill will force some useless governors, LG chairmen, and house of assembly legislators in the South East to sit up and start working knowing that there will be more visibility and consequences for their actions from the people since the excuse of "not getting enough allocation from Abuja" will no longer fly, then I think it's only smart for every logical thinking Igbo person to support the bill to be passed, and I hope our SE reps don't slack on this one.

Local Government autonomy, tax reform bills and the only thing left for Tpain to implement is state police creation and we might just be heading towards restructuring and fiscal federalism for the first time since regional government.

Yoruba person masquerading as an Igbo OP.

You could have fooled me.

Yoruba people can go and fight the north alone. Leave Igbos out of your cunning ways.
You destroyed Igbo-owned properties in Lagos, and think you can throw a wool over our eyes. Iyasikwa

helinues:
Zulum don dey misyarn lately. A professor for that matter

Southerners have been heavily taxed for decades while the northerners have been evading it. This time around, no going back. The tax reform bill will be passed.

Infact, there are more reforms coming like quota system. North should be ready for what's about to come

Please stop adding SS and SE to this your yarn.

It is Yoruba vs north. The tax proposal will not be benefitting any SE or SS state. That the SE and SS are not talking yet, doesn't meant both regions are totally in support of the tax bill.

sapele914:
Empty Barrel, please we beg u, just shut up, when Federal Government show, na speed racer japa, you go take run, disappear.

Yorubas are known as the greatest cowards in Nigeria
By 2027 elections, there will be no federal might for Tinubu to hide under. That is when the cowardliness will be exposed for the world to see. You will be looking for allies then, but will have none.

Throwback:
Are you talking of the same MiddleBelt that Tinubu won 4 out of 6 states?

The same SouthSouth that Peter Obi lost 3 out of 6 states?

You are the one existing in another dimension of delusion.

Yes I'm talking about the same SS where Tinubu won Rivers state fraudulently and the middle belt where Tinubu won Benue fraudulently.

Next time no-one will be waiting for court verdicts
Revolution will start immediately, and Tinubu will be lucky if he doesn't end up like Samuel Doe
