Uchek:
Jason123: It is not because of him that Nigeria is like this.

He never ruled Nigeria so he is not part of the political and military class that looted and pillaged Nigeria.

He never planted coup or usurped federal power or used access to Nigeria resources to enrich himself and his cronies like IBB, Abacha, Obasanjos, Dangumas, etc.

He did not fight against Nigeria. He fought against the issues which Nigeria is facing today. Example is the massacre and killing going on in Jos, Gowons hometown.

History - not our comments on Nairaland or dailies has rendered verdict on Ojukwu.

GBAM.

How did i know this would make front page by the end of the day. Nairaland mods never seize to amaze me.

@ Musiwa

Yes Ojukwu will be buried with honors. If the nigerian group didn't do it,  umu ndi-Igbos will. Preparation for his burial has already begun.

@The rest of ojukwu haters
Why are you taking advil for another pesin headache eeh?  

He killed millions of people, he killed millions, remove unaself from reply.

Blaming Ojukwu for what your people did. Typical

The life of the innocent spilled yet again in this Nigeria.

LMFAO.

Nairaland Bluetooth and co what do you have to say right now?

namfav:
i find it funny that an anti-nigeria tool like you has a name like one naira, isn't it supposed to be one biafra pound, mtschewwww

We still have to use this worthless naira note, I can't change reality for now thus one_naira is the name.

This mumu aboki people are still rapping trash,ojukwu was a nobody to you,yet many of you haven't slept since yesterday just because of him,someone said this thread will get to 30 pages and I see it happening,He was indeed a great man,mallams stop beating yourselves,you can't change that.

Freecocoa
Nwanyioma, you speak the truth.  They fear ojukwu even at death and the love igbo have for him.  Why care so much about another group’s hero. 

^^^^@Bluetooth
The name Black scorpion or blue scorpion or wetin be his name isn’t a feared name in SE or SS.  Get out of whatever village you dey and travel. 
Let’s contrast ojukwu and your black or blue scorpion who you claimed ojukwu feared shall we?

Ojukwu

Ojukwu came back to Nigeria
Ojukwu got involved with all neo-Biafra affairs in Nigeria despite the north ruling Nigeria.
Ojukwu traveled to Maryland where your black scorpion dey, he did interviews while in Maryland meaning he let his presence in Maryland known.
Ojukwu stood side by side with the Biafra activities located in DC/Maryland area. Where was your black scorpion when ojukwu was in Maryland ehh? Of course all talk but no action
Ojukwu made himself a public figure after his return, he did not hide his contribution for liberation of Biafra present or past.
   
Ojukwu before exile fought for Biafra, when exiled fought for Biafra, when he returned still fought for Biafra without fear.

Your black scorpion

He talked all poo but when it was time for him to face reality, he ran like the coward he was. 
He refuses to come back to Nigeria and rather remain asylum outside of Nigeria.   
When Ojukwu was in Maryland where him dey, the coward hid himself; he didn’t even have the decency to come out and chest beat like he was doing during the war. 
There are many Igbo in Maryland area,  how many of them even recognize your black scorpion talk less his name?  There's your answer for the fear we supposedly have for him.

Neo-Biafra activities in DC/Maryland area make their presence known in Maryland despite knowing your black scorpion took asylum in Maryland.  An extra there's your answer for the fear we supposedly have for him.
 
So sorry to tell you this but Ndi-Igbo do not fear your black scorpion and when he dies, I do not think any Igbo will care. You on the other hand still fear Ojukwu even after his death.  You’re having sleepless night over the man’s death. Pele eeh!!!! You can hang yourself if the fear is too much; just end that miserable life for us okay. The hausa, namfav, can join you too. Pele!!!!

NDI-IGBO AS SOMEONE ALREADY SAID,  THIS IS A SAD DAY FOR US. Ojukwu just died, focus all your attention on mourning this great man’s death and don’t care about this Yoruba and illiterate aboki derailers like I’ll do after this post. 

So it’s confirmed The IKEMBA of our land is dead.  Eeh  Iwe n’ewe m. maka gini? Nna maka gini?

freecocoa:
So true sef,already cursed and hopeless hediots,they are just foools who are so blind and backwards,f*king re*tads who would never amount to nothing. Udo diri gi nwanne'm.

You speak the truth.

He's death hasn't been confirmed yet so i'm praying this is another lie from ignorant nigerian journalist.  

If not, R.I.P

The true warrior, hero and father of Igboland  
Your dream will come true.  
Your wish will come true.  
The liberation of Eastern Nigerian will become a reality.
Your family will be blessed forever.

Go rest in heaven and watch as those who wished hell upon you, descend in hell and rot there with their entire family and future family following suit.

R.I.P You shall be missed dearly.  

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^Shut that putrid, double-speaking opening of yours that passes for a mouth!!! HEEEDIOTT!!! Don't ever think of taking panadol for any perceived Igbo headache. Get it?

Igbos are who we are, and are changing for no one, fool!!! You talk of continuing "to be the victim": have you taken a look at the colossal evil Igbos (and other southerners/christians as a whole) are confronting up north? Leaving aside events leading up to and including the civil war, you want to stand there and tell me thousands of Igbos up north that have been butchered and killed in cold blood from the 80's to date deserved it b'cos of our "Ojukwu brand" ? Just listen to yourself. I suppose the 'poor' northerners that have been orchestrating and carrying out the attacks are really the victims here and deserve pity and understanding, abi?

Sad git!!!

Ask him ohh.   The Yoruba's that are killed in masses at the North means nothing to him, it's the Igbos that are killed worries him. It's pathetic the kind of people displayed here on Naira land. I do not know why you all are taking him seriously, it the same guy claiming SE needs SW and North.  He's dreams has to be great for him to confuse it with reality.  Everything he writes, need to be taking with a pinch of salt.

It is thanksgiving. Ndi-igbo why are you taking this people seriously today of all days?

Tubaba

Great man.

God will bless you for this deed.

alj_harem:
STOP THIS RUBBISH childish behaviour

we are talking of cultural influence and you are turning it to everything is yoruba

well that is NOT the case. At the end of the day, it is now a Nigerian food not even yoruba or igbo anymore

so what is your point ?

See double take?  You alone turned it into a yoruba thing, now you double take.

I disagree, wahalla. I agree, wahalla.

WTF do you want?

alj_harem:
That is the way to think of it. It is not about what I believe[b] it is what it is[/b].

I said before whatever makes you sleep at night.

alj_harem:
so you know it is ogili, ko !

LOL maybe it took sengalese airline to ala igbo and passed through benin and co.

HOW CAN a food be a creation ?

no one can claim to have created anything NOT EVEN sushi.

as far as Nigeria is concerned, it is what it is . Stop demonstrating your Inferiority complex. Or is the mixing of culture a bad thing

what is wrong with you SMH

Egusi is yoruba, the food is yoruba, the soil it grows in is yoruba. Are you happy now alj_harem?

The original argument before your introduction was the food, now it's irrelevant.  Pele!!!!!  You can cry and cry and cry, Pele ohh.   

Everything is yoruba, are you happy now?

Chyz*:
Al haram,

Ndo nu, it belongs to we Igbos. No matter how much you try to make it yoruba people will always know it as an igbo thing.

Hapu ya.

alj_harem:
LOL eyeeh, so you are actually sad because you got cultural influence from the yorubas. It shows the sort of hate mentality you have. What is wrong if Igbos today were influenced culturally in dressing and food even language in yoruba ? Is there anything wrong with that ?

Has Igbos not influenced Nigeria broken english with words like biko, nna etc Is anyone complaining and whining liek you are doing here

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE STU.PIDITY YOU ARE DISPLAYING HERE

READING COMPREHENSION SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR YOU.  

On this topic only, most Igbo mentioned there is a very little Yoruba influence on Igbo land yet Yoruba’s keep drilling into our head that we are lying,  if we keep telling you what’s going on in SE and you keep believing otherwise then accept whatever makes you sleep at night It still does not change reality.  We'll laugh at the ign.orance, you'll believe whatever you want and we all live happily

alj_harem:
cry me a river who cares if Twi or whatever, in one of the links I brought out, it said it orignated in senegal and was called agushi

today the yoruba thought the Igbos, ashanti and co and it is called Egusi. Again cry me a river  

as far as Nigeria and west africa is concerned. Yes it is them, go read those links again because i brought out not just 3 links.

Pele!!!!!!  I'm going through all your links one by one but I have to ask,  If the soup originated in senegal as you claim (doubtful but i'll check it out, i'm going through all your links one by one, so far it the same thing.), what's your fuss on the fact I said the soup is not  a yoruba creation.  Pele!!!!!! oh,  okay i'll let you guys keep lying to yourself.

Igbo,prior to their introduction to yoruba, used the word Ogili for egusi
Hausa called it Agushi
Twi and Yoruba called it Egusi

Just because people are using your name of a seed, does not mean the food made by that seed is yours.

alj_harem:
tell me what you have against yorubas. Is it because of the cultural influence or u are just intimidated by them.

What do I have against yoruba? Nothing, just like messing with them.

Is it cultural influence? So far they haven't influenced igbos.

Intimidated by them? Intimidated by what? I laugh in chinese

alj_harem:
LOL, agbada is orginal fulani cloth called Babban riga.

Agabda is a yoruba way of calling it.

Just like Gele is original yoruba byt igbos call it Ichifu or so.

It is a cultural thing. nothing wrong in that. There is no shame in that. As one of your brothers said

Yorubas made it, we make it look better nothing wrong in that. Just don't act in shock or change history

I laugh in chinese.  Whatever makes you people sleep at night.  We've already discussed this, I'm not one to return back to something already proven. 

When it comes to clothes,  your opinion is as credible as a dog's opinion.

alj_harem:
Now you can ROTFLAO

Na wa oo

tell me what you have against yorubas. Is it because of the cultural influence or u are just intimidated by them.

I have posted my address for Henry101 to see and come visit me, maybe he would tell if I am yoruba or not.

ask your brother afam4eve he would have a better say

Nwoke, you can keep pretending to till the end of the world. You are faceless person, I do not know you in real life but based on ALL YOUR REPLIES on Nairaland, anybody can conclude you are Yoruba who keep pretending to be something he is not.

It is pathetic that despite giving yourself away so many times, you still keep pretending Tufiakwa.

alj_harem:
But it is said otherwise on one of the links I brought out in the beginning and moreover tell me why it can't be yoruba

what do you have against them ?

If it was Igbo, I would immediatly point that out without all this discussion. I accept my mistakes easlly and ready to learn from them like what stillwaters,tpia, andre uweh and co do. Not you that u are aguring blindlly

NONE OF YOUR LINKS  said Egusi soup is a yoruba creation.  IT SAID EGUSI is the yoruba name of the melon.  READ CAREFULLY. 

Your own links
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=J7kdAQAAIAAJ&q=origin+of+egusi+soup&dq=origin+of+egusi+soup&hl=en&ei=2SDNTuSlI8W98gPLl8wE&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA

Egusi is apparently a yoruba word.

Where is the claim Yoruba created Egusi soup?

Another link
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6jrlyOPfr24C&pg=PA185&dq=origin+of+egusi+soup+yoruba&hl=en&ei=uCHNToDFMsOk8QO6rJXbDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDEQ6AEwATgK#v=snippet&q=egusi%20yoruba&f=false

Egusi derived from the Yoruba language

I ask again the soup?  Where is the claim?

I credited Yoruba for the name Egusi because it is a yoruba word, THE SOUP IS NOT their creation.

Every West African region be it Igbo, Hausa, Wolof, Twi, etc have a name for a Egusi that isn't Egusi excluding Twi. That shows the plant itself is found all over west africa, how it is used for food preparation differs.

You gave something a name then automatically it is yours.  WTF?

alj_harem:
[b]You exclaimmated in shock [/b]according to your e-icon and I had the feeling u were thinking my claims are false. Thus I had to reply to it also give that ezeagu is calling akara a shared word but we know every shared word food etc has an origin and here is one.

Of course only a mad man would say Isi ewu is hausa or so or suya is igbo or yoruba etc.

That your proof on my supposed claim of Akara originating in Igboland.  

Only bigotry fool would read into that?  

I guess in my past previous post when the discussion was on an agbada and I expressed shock at ileke-idi and cohorts statement,  going by your logic I was claiming that as an Igbo creation too right? Mscheww

alj_harem:
Usual ranting from an ideeiot

we had a discussion, yet you are calling me a yoruba pretender

should I allow u to wallow in my ignorance or what ?

maybe you missed the place i posted Igbo influence on other cultures which inculdes yoruba. Again go sleep

We all are aware you are yoruba so lets not even go there.

Fixed your question for you and the answer is yes you can. I do not care what you do with your life.

Jenifa_:
stop quoting a book that was published in 2005! you can't compare it to one written in 1857 about yorubas.
and besides the recent book you quoted said only "westernized igbos" used the word. aka they lived in lagos. lol

egusi is most certainly a yoruba word.

where did I disclaim that?  I said the name is Yoruba, THE SOUP IS NOT YORUBA.

alj_harem:
another silly cooking website, Imagine discussing about history and someone is bring out sites like "how to cook egusi soup" , "just eating nigerian", " eat nigeria"

SMH, dude go sleep. I am done with u until u bring out concrete evidence to claim otherwise.

I think something is wrong with your head.  I ask again are you brain dead or what?

One_naira

ASK ANYONE IN NIGERIA THE ORIGINS OF EGUSI SOUP?It's Igbo or Eastern Nigerian

The yoruba masking Alaji

I have asked and the respond is not IGBO. In fact that is why I came online to tackle such claims

One_naira

My friend if you are going to lie,  lie well.  Go back few pages and see the first person that talked about soups.  He's not Igbo

The yoruba pretender

another silly cooking website

Okay, you are dismissing other Nigerian claim despite saying you've asked all Nigerians and they said IT IS NOT igbo just because it did not agree with you.  SMH.  Typical hypocritical attitude.

alj_harem:
Dude i think u are starting to sound like an ideeiot. really

what do you mean, the FACTS are there unless you want to be like Nayah that disclaim facts and chooses what she thinks is right.

well life does not work that way. What it is; is what it is.

It did not originate for Igbo land, it was an adopted culture for the yorubas and hausa

learn to separate facts for your wishes STOP CLAIMING THE ORIGIN OF EVERYTHING TO BE FROM IGBOLAND because it is not.

what should we talk about again Moi-moi, agbada, gele, fila or what

all this are adopted cultures which is bad and there is nothing wrong in it, Just don't change hsitory to fit your style because you would be disgracing your people and urself as well.

Facts are Facts and I did not say anything from my sources or head but from Journals and cited sites. History books as well not from a cook website

If you are going to accuse me of something then accuse me of something I ACTUALLY SAID.   Biko point where did I, one_naira, claim Akara is an Igbo creation.    

A Fictional story is now FACTS.  I hear am.  

As I said you lots are funny.

alj_harem:
I have asked and the respond is not IGBO. In fact that is why I came online to tackle such claims

so anyone does that equate to Igbo people ?

Only an ignoramus would say such
