See who is Talking.
Did you see anything like Black in my posthuh

I'm not saying your story is a lie its just that the fact that you can deny the black race your Identity and deny that you have nothing to do with a neighboring tribe proves to me that you're dillusional.
Is it by forcehuh
I don't beg you to believe.

What sort of Igbos people do we have on this Nairaland? See their acidic comments already. So sad that many of you have yet to learn from the mistakes of the likes of Ironsi, Chukwuma Kaduna and even the Hausas you so much detest their 'born to rule mentality'.
don't forget that it is rat poison that killed Awolowo.
We and Yorubas are not the same.

on one hand, the study might mean little, after all humans are similar to simians...

https://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/08/0831_050831_chimp_genes.html



but in the context of the goal of the study, I think it says a lot about relatedness in the south.


history shows that both the Igbos & Yorubas (& Edos) are from the Volta-Niger Phylum (Williamson & Blench (2000) 'Niger–Congo', in Heine & Nurse, African Languages .)



both tribes are known for their unique art works.




both tribes evolved a pseudo-democratic style of governance as far back as the 9-11 century. the Igbos were republican (akin to the city states of ancient Greece) while the Yorubas were more of the modern style presidential system. but systems were highly complex & effective even for their times.



both tribes have shown a high ability to adapt & evolve with modern day advancements.



both tribes had a pattern of identification that involved facial tribal marks (yes, the Igbos also carried tribal marks at a time but dropped it faster than the Yorubas).



it was colonial rule that made tribal differences in the south more pronounced & sharper.



so next time YOU call call a Yoruba man scratched face, look in the mirror BROTHER;


next time YOU call an Igbo man Igbo, look in the mirror BROTHER;


next time any of YOU refer to one another as 'YOU PEOPLE' or 'PEOPLE FROM THAT SIDE' or whatever derogatory tribal slur YOU like to dish out... look in the mirror BROTHER... you are referring to YOURSELF...


we are all similar in our unique ways...

I know I am going to regret asking, but.... Whathuh
Eri, the father of all Igbos, who hailed from Israel was the fifth son of Gad, the seventh son of Jacob (Genesis 46:15-18 and Numbers 26:16-18). He migrated from Egypt with a group of companions just before the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt many centuries ago. They traveled by water and finally arrived at the confluence point of Ezu and Omambala (Anambra) Rivers known as Agbanabo, located in present-day Aguleri, where, according to oral tradition, it was spiritually or divinely revealed to Eri that Agbanabo (i.e the confluence point of Ezu and Omambala Rivers) was to be their final destination and settlement. They moved into the hinterland and settled in the present-day Aguleri but the settlement wasn’t known as Aguleri at that time. Meanwhile, Eri lived and died at Aguleri.
Agulu was the eldest son of Eri who took over from his father after Eri’s demise.
As the population around Eri’s compound at Aguleri increased, and in combination with other factors, some children of Eri and their descendants left Aguleri and founded various other settlements that Igbos occupy today. However, Agulu, the first son, remained in their father’s home at Aguleri with his own descendants.
Agulu, fondly called Agulu-Nwa-Eri, appended the name of their father, Eri, to his name and founded Agulu-Eri (Aguleri) by calling the settlement where his father Eri died and he (Agulu) lived AGULERI.
Menri was one of Agulu’s siblings that left their father’s house. He (Menri) settled at a big forest, where he engaged in hunting and farming, while also performing his spiritual work like other Eri’s children. Menri called his settlement Agu-Ukwu (Nri).
When Menri was getting very old, he told his children to take him back to his ancestral home, as he would not want to die outside his father’s home. Menri was brought back to Aguleri, where he died and was buried. His grave is still marked at Okpu, in Ivite Aguleri, till this day. There is no other grave site of Menri, the founder of Nri, anywhere else in Igbo land, even in Nri itself, except in Aguleri.
It is also a known fact that, by tradition, no other Igbo man would break the kolanut where an Aguleri man is present, except with his permission. This is in deference to the fact that Agulu (Aguleri) was the eldest child Eri.
In fulfillment of the age-long traditional rites for kingship in certain Igbo communities like Nri, every Igwe-elect, must visit Aguleri accompanied by a delegation from his community, all of whom will spend seven days in Aguleri visiting sacred places, paying homage and making sacrifices to certain deities/shrines.
Agbanabo, in the oral tradition of Eri clan is not just any place ‘where two rivers meet’. It has great spiritual significance, because it was at this point that Eri had a divine revelation that they had reached their ordained place of settlement. Members of Eri clan, therefore, have a strong spiritual attachment to Agbanabo. And this has made it an important and mandatory feature in the coronation rites of the people of Eri clan.
The visit an Igwe-elect, with his people to Aguleri, including the places he’ll go to, making sacrifices and paying homage to certain deities/shrines, can be well captured in a video coverage these days. All such videos are available in Aguleri archives for anyone who cares to see and is interested in knowing the truth.

Nigerian Muslims demand an end to intimidation of muslim sisters by intolerant Christian fanatics who pick on muslim sisters at any given opportunity for no just cause.
These christian extremists who cannot bear to see sisters proudly in hijab want to intimidate them and discourage others from this style of dressing.

The Nigeria constitution, which is superior to every other law in the country guarantees freedom of dressing for all, is very clear on this issue.

Similar provocation from these intolerant fanatics led to litigations which were decided in favor of muslims.
These unnecessary provocations from intolerant christians are already on records.

Christianity EtcBenedict XVI: ‘foolish Prejudice’ To Think Pope Francis Lacks Formation by OnyeOGA(op): 12:07pm On Mar 13, 2018
The Pope Emeritus praised his successor as a man of profound theological formation

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has said there is an “inner continuity” between his pontificate and that of Pope Francis, and described his successor as a
“man of profound philosophical and theological formation”.
The words came in a letter published by Mgr Dario Edoardo Viganò, prefect of the Secretariat for Communication, as the Vatican released a series of books on the Theology of Pope Francis. Benedict XVI wrote the letter in thanks for having received an advance copy of the series.
The emeritus pope said that it
“contradicts the foolish prejudice of those who see Pope Francis as someone who lacks a particular theological and philosophical formation, while I would have been solely a theorist of theology with little understanding of the concrete lives of today’s Christian.”
The series is edited by Don Roberto Repole, president of the Italian Theological Association.
“The small volumes show rightly that Pope Francis is a man of profound philosophical and theological formation,”
Benedict XVI added,
“And therefore help to see the inner continuity between the two pontificates, even with all the differences in style and temperament.”
Br Giulio Cesareo, OFM, head of Libreria Editrice Vaticana, said that translations of the series into English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Polish and Romanian have already been commissioned.

Which Igbo presidency? Under what Party?APC??The same Igbos that voted massively against APC in Lagos State where one of the owners of the Party reside? The same people that voted vehemently against Buhari,the APC flag bearer?? Sometimes, I always try to ignore some kind of people but, it's very impossible to do so.. Like a proverb says; it's easier to deceive a fool, than to inform the fool that he has been deceived .You people can't be this gullible I keep saying to myself but,it seems the Igbos always have a way of surpassing my yardstick for gullibility.. Look, Bulhari is going to pass the baton to one Yoruba like that, particular like Ambode come 2023..You think the Yorubas and Hausas merged their two parties of APC and CPC together just to let an Igbo man across the Niger rule over them?? Look,It's simple!If you want power, form a strong party and take it other wise ,you ll keep living in a theater of dreams.
