gregyboy:


Lol, pained.....


I quoted you on my samuel johnson thread you ignored only qn igboman stood to reply me


Oromiyan that never existed


No Benin-ife connections untill proven otherwise

gregyboy:




Stop attaching population when debating benin when your ancestors carried guns to kill themselves from benins they didn't reason if we are minorites
When we sacrifice ijebu to our gods we didnt consider them majourity


So Bleep you and your population we took care of you alk in the past we will do it again

gregyboy:



This does not prove shit




Since the introduction of Christianity all our names in various tribe to carry god in our local dialect attached to the original names

Ebo-wonyi is now osa-wonyi

Likewise after the adoption of the word oba by the yorubas from benin many of it original names changed to reflect oba probably this words was called something else in Yoruba

Maybe olu-tanla now oba-tanla

If we are to start naming every prefix with oba from the benin benin people too would that convince you

Obagodo
Obaseki
Obayagbon
Obayuwana
And co,

gregyboy:



2by2 town you think we are igbos who are silent
Nairaland go spoil, please don't even dream of it
Would be an eyesore i know my people dont try it,

It wont be a benin - yoruba bashing anymore
It will now be Edo-yoruba bashing and may escalate to a full niger delta-yoruba bashing

Think before you talk,

Only benin people will shake the entire yoruba people in tribal bashing.....

Try come benin you go know why itsekiri called us ile binu



Again dont ever wish for benin-yoruba bashing dont it wont be funny nairaland go spoil nor be joke ooh

gregyboy:



Nigga you just have to prove.....


Go do your research i want to be wrong, i want to be disproved


The rfo is a reformed type of ogboni i package and reimported to benin but it does not ascertain its originality

Nigeria have introduced different churches to uk, but does that change the fact Christianity was introduced by the British to Nigeria

gregyboy:



Lol, but a Yoruba article claims otherwise

Ogboni had always been edo people the reformed society was introduced not the worship


The RFO which is the reformed worship was introduced but the worship has always been edo

Amujale:


The Chadic language system is older than Arabic.

Furthermore, it was through the Chadic language system that a Chadic person began a language that was later stolen and modified to form the Arabic language in itself.

The Arab fundamentalist invaded Africa murdered millions of innocent people cause a huge amount of misery and pain and stole one of our languages whilst they was here.

There was no such thing as the current stock of Arabs 50,000 years ago, yet the people of Nigeria have been around more than 500,000 years ago

They are still telling lies so shamelessly even when caught. Who did you give independence? Was it not NCNC through Zik that collaborated with with Ahmadu Bello's NPN that forced referendum on the Western region?

Even this report stated that Awolowo's AG formed a shadowy group to frustrate the referendum and even made the ridiculous claim that Igbos will dominate the Benis if they should go ahead with the referendum. Lol, I can even draw some parallels with those blackmails of Awolowo's AG to what is happening in recent times between Igbos and the minorities. They are now telling the minorities how Igbos are after their oil and would subjugate them should they align with us.

The evil that is currently going on in Nigeria did not start today. SMH!

helinues:
The truth is average Yoruba or Igbo offline are not even aware of all this online banters.

In order to sheat the online swords, we ( Yoruba) have some demands .

You must have been reading about the notorious Mr canceller on NL. He is confirmed from East and his job on NL is to troll, provoke and cancel majority of Yoruba's comments with different opinions from his. Some have been forced to abandon their monikers while some are on lenghty ban due to his provocation.. Advise him to Stop before moving further to other demands.

”Igbo domination of Nigeria is only a matter of time”- Charles Onyeama, a prominent igbo lawyer and member of the Central Legislative Council, 1945. (Page 204 ”Ethnic Politics In Kenya and Nigeria” by Godfrey

”It would appear that the God of Africa has created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of ages ….” – Dr Azikiwe, President of the Pan-Igbo Federal Union. (The West African Pilot of July 8, 1949)

The first statement from Charles Onyeama, which was made in 1945, was the first overtly tribal and divisive comment that was made and recorded in the politics of southern Nigeria in our history. That is where and when tribalism in the south actually started. After that comment, and as a direct reaction to it, the Yoruba established the ”Egbe Omo Oduduwa” to further and protect Yoruba interests and after that came the formation of the Action Group in 1948.

The second statement from Zik, which was made in 1949 (and which clearly shows that the great Zik of Africa had forgotten that the NCNC was not an Igbo party at the beginning and that it had in fact been established by an upper class and very well educated Yoruba man by the name of Sir Herbert Macaulay, one of the famous ”Black Victorians” from the Lagos Colony, and who, at his death bed, was gracious enough to hand over the leadership of the party to him even though he was Igbo) confirmed that tribalism was here to stay in the south and that ever since that time the Igbo had an agenda to dominate others. This sentiment and this unfortunate Igbocentric attitude is what cost Zik the premiership of the Western Region in 1953 when the NCNC narrowly lost to the Action Group.

It is clear from this that if you want to know who started tribalism in southern politics and the politics of the southern protectorate of Nigeria, it was not the Yoruba or the southern minorities but the Igbo. The excesses of the Igbo State Union and their treatment of the southern minorities and the Yoruba from 1943 till 1967 was completely unacceptable. The rest of the south were prepared to accept the Igbo as equals with open arms but they were not prepared to be politically dominated or conquered by them

Worst still, the first coup in the history of Nigeria, which was the Jan 15th 1966 coup d’etat, led by Major Ifejuana and Major Kaduna Nzeogwu, was essentially an Igbo coup and an Igbo grab for power. I say this because 95 per cent of those that took part in it were Igbo and 99 per cent of the political and military leaders that were brutally murdered during its execution were non-Igbo. It was this coup and its sheer brutality that led to the even more brutal northern officers counter-coup of July 1966 (in which 300 Igbo officers were killed in one night including the Igbo Head of State, Gen. Aguiyi-Ironsi, and his Yoruba host, the Military Governor of the Western Region, Adekunle Fajuyi who sought to protect him), the pogrom of Igbos in the north (in which over 100,000 Igbo civilians were killed in a few weeks) and the Nigerian civil war (in which 2 million Nigerians and Biafrans died).

These are the facts of our history. Live and learn. If you want to know who introduced tribalism into southern politics, it was the Igbo. If you want to know who carried out the first coup in our country, it was the Igbo. Having done the painstaking research over a number of years these are my findings and this is my conclusion

I will open my Facebook wall for a robust discussion and debate on this issue and I will accommodate contributions from even those that are not my Facebook friends just for this debate. I will accommodate all shades of opinion and contributions from anyone that cares to join in the fray and I want to encourage those that disagree with my findings to state their case. We are all still learning but please take note that any rude or insulting comments will be deleted. This is a historical debate and I would encourage all those that seek to quote anyone or make any assertions to mention their sources so that we can cross check the facts.

Dikebuka:


Recall that prior to Awolowo forming AG, he was in the same NCNC with Azikiwe.
What prompted him to form AG...

I will like you to read this little piece from your brethren

https://businessday.ng/columnist/article/the-1951-elections-how-awolowo-forced-azikiwe-out-of-western-nigeria/

Dikebuka:
Azikiwe messed up as man and as a leader..he was desperate and we agree.

But we cannot rule out the tribal role that Awolowo played that lead to this...the way he was kicked out..

Back to OP..
Why are you try to paint a a funny picture...

Azikiwe's style of politics was a lot too soon for Nigeria den..he made it seem as Igbos planned on domination.. Even me will be abit angry if someone from Tiv come to Imo to vie for position.

But we can't rule out the tribal game that Awolowo and his AG introduced into our political sphere.

hammerP:
SO YORUBA CANNOT STAY WITH HAUSAFULANI AND TAKE TURNS ON PRESIDENCY WITH THEM.



WE IGBOS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FORMING A NATION WITH YORUBA.



THAT CAN NEVER BE.


IF THAT IS THE ONLY OPTION, WE PREFER TO REMAIN WITH HAUSA AND FULANI, BECAUSE ALL THE PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY IS CAUSED BY YORUBA.

Thank you brother. @isalegan2

If they start at similar price points as the iPhone 11, they're looking at another Q4 success like they got last year with the base iPhone 11 topping the sales chart followed by the Pro model.

Rumours suggest that Apple will unveil 5 devices, so I'm quite hyped for the event.

ImmaculateJOE:
Olright..

Our southern brothers need to learn how to mind their business. Busy body Oke Umurhohwo
All these imaginary deaths been reported in Jigawa, Bauchi & Kano are northern plot to draw sympathy from FG so the monies made in Lagos and Niger Delta will be given to them..
Same way they created Boko is haram to siphon some money from the better south.

Gandollar:
See my siggy..

lukui:
Nice comments above by Baba Awo. North always believing power is their birth right, east always believing in restructuring or a fragment of them going to "you already know". South west always trying to bridge the gap but filled with backstabbers and betrayers. South south always bombing pipelines and relying only on crude oil.

What an old man saw whilst sitting, a child cannot see it even if he climbs and iroko!!!
