opamoses1:
The point and some other people's point on this thread is that: It is NOT only Igbos that have a pre colonial calendar. Shikena. All this whether Yoruba, Nupe, Kanuri, Ijaw, Isoko, urhobo, Itsekiri, Hausa or Fulani market or not is secondary.

That makes you either a liar, an ignorant person, or even a tribalist. It could be any of the 3 or a combination of 2, or just 1 lol. For the benefit of doubt, If it's just you being ignorant i.e. Not aware of the fact, just apologize for goofing with the "only" in your original post.

Story, as if you know much about other ethnicities.

Let me give you good example
Most popular market in Maiduguri is The Monday Market
Most popular market in Nnewi is Nkwo Nnewi
The most popular market in Awka is Eke Awka

Kanuri has no native week, no other ethnicity in Nigeria has well known names for days of the week

Goodvibes007:
Yoruba has a calendar. Google would have helped you.

Lol. Over here nobody needs Google. I stayed in yorubaland they don't have Native names for days of the native weeks for local markets.
Please compare. See igbo days of the week and the corresponding days of oyibo week.

Goodvibes007:
See ancient Yoruba calendar below 👇.

Haha, so who we go believe now? Forge forge

BitterTruth0001:
This is the Roman calendar
You just use a different name for it

Thank you very much.

Goodvibes007:
The OP is a rabid tribalist on Nairaland. Not suprised he said "Only" Ibo.

Lots of tribe have accurate calendars before colonialism. OP should be penalized for posting false Information on Nairaland.

Please show it. In the north their local market use oyibo days of the week. Only Igbos have pre colonial days of the week, the four igbo market days

Raskimonojendor:
The lie he was referring to is right there on the first post. Open your eyes. Bolded below 👇

Yes, only igbo calender is pre colonial. The yoruba calendar he posted only gave yoruba names to oyibos 12 calendar months and this happened post colonial

Ireportlive:
Tell the op not to tell lies and involve us

Why mention "only" Ibos


.

Yorubas have no native calendar. You can't have a native calendar exactly same with oyibo own and a lunar calendar of 12 months. All you did was give yoruba names to oyibo months and it can't be pre colonial. Secondly, everybody knows that most native calendar don't start in January. December is actually the tenth month. September is also the seventh month.
The year starts around February/March in all native calenders including biblical Jewish calendar

CameroonPepper:
Why not create a separate thread for them?
Why did you come here I wonder.

A native lunar moon based calendar cannot be twelve months and exactly coincide with oyibo calender months. This was forged post colonial

Ireportlive:
Celebrate your ibo calender in peace and stop acting like an ignoramus

Yoruba has a calender system which is Lunar or Moon based, Islam and Arabs have theirs which Northerners follow

Rotten wood brings ant home, it's kids like you that get people looking at Ibos somehow

.

Northerners follow Arabs, nothing indegenous while Yoruba forged name of months. How can your so called lunar calendar be exactly same with oyibo 12 months calendar? I lived in yorubaland, they don't have Native market days (days of the native week) like Igbos

Only Igbos have a very accurate pre colonial native calendar.
The Igbo week is made of 4 days
Igbo month is made of 7 weeks
And the Igbo year is made of 13 months
The Igbo year is a total of 364 days, approximately same with white man's 365 days in a year.

Debunking tribalist allegations with more tribalistic post. Guy go and rest

tysontim:
What he said is actually the truth, government need to do proper planning, each local government bring out so so and so hecters foe farming, ranching, with the way people are building houses down east there may not be farmlands again, vegetation will be gone. Unplanned development is not development.

There are abundant farmlands in the agrarian communities sharing boarders with Kogi state.

OVB123:
OSUN is too old for my liking. I prefer ondo state.

Ondo is Eastern yorubaland. Edo/Igbo influence is hgher there

Brimstone77:
....


Reno said they are preserving their ancestral heritage...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A heritage of poverty

siant:
And Anambra people will be bragging as if their state is the most developed in the south east. Despite that Enugu used to be the capital of the defunct eastern region, and Anambra state was created from Enugu, yet they will be under rating the state.
Meanwhile Enugu state is richer and can generate more revenue than Anambra. While Anambra is presenting 410 billion, Enugu is presenting over 500 billion budgets.

You have started reasoning like yoruba people

MrProlific95:
hmm Why is Enugy budget bigger than Anambra whereas the laters revenue is much more than enugu

Loan of course

These are the people recommending world class standards for SE

Abagworo:
A city State is not a good thing and I'm from Imo which is also experiencing same urbanization so why would you use the word hate? The entire Orlu, Ekwulobia, Nnewi, Ihiala, Mgbidi, Akokwa, Obodoikwu, Urualla, Amichi, Ozubulu, Umuakah, Mbieri, Amauzari, Umunze, Nkwerre, Awo Idemili, Oraukwu, Oba, Nnoni, Awka and areas around there is the most densely populated rural area in Africa . As densely populated as the Nile Valley but not a city with layouts and districts . The reason this arbitrary build up needs to be checked is that there's little land left for farming and vegetation so in 20 years time it might just be complete concrete jungle.

Tokyo in the making. 50 million capacity of landmass when filled up

Opolopoopolonio:
In your dreams @bolded

The Chinese are investors not hustlers. They have a base where they are coming from.

Confused maga. China is country just like Nigeria. Declare your shit hole Oduduwa now or shut up

pol23:
We’ve made it clear reason why this can only be neigboring state.
So, give me example of any neighboring state in SE or part of Nigeria that could do the number or economic exchange?
IMO to Anambra?
Enugun to Anambra
Kogi to Niger
Just any route with proof.

Guy stop talking thrash. The only proof is to build it first and see. Remember that EEDC is the only distribution company making profits apart from the two in Lagos. Note that it's about the total revenue but profits.

One shows gutter everywhere with dilapidated houses and looks like a dump. One shows a built up area with modern roads passing through structures having zinc roofs.

One refused to show aerial pictures like the other

SharingIsLife:
It is too petty of you to be so fixated on tribe bro. There are much better things to give your attention to. Don't do shit just because someone else does it.

You start preaching now? They na the wasteland always find trouble first?

Scarrr:
the joke is on u ..numbers of Igbos living in Ibadan alone can start a country ... Simply cos Ibadan is a land of peace,growth even opportunities over plenty..can we say the same about your terrorists riddled region?😂.

Same old story.

The megacity is taking shape. The cluster of towns are fusing together into a massive cornubation
