The Ga and Ewe of Togo Ghana and Benin Republic are of Yoruba Ancestry

They are all called Egun by the Yorubas and include the Egun of Badagry

Traces of indigenous Yoruba have also been found all the way Cote d'ivoire. The Oni-Popo (one of odua's offspring that travelled westward settled in Ivory coast.

I watched a video where an ivorien said "mo fe dun inu".

A modern day Yoruba person would translate it to be "I want to make my tummy happy or I want to be happy". The Ivorian said he actually meant that "he was hungry and wanted to make is tummy happy or make himself happy by eating a meal".

Exc2000:
Intresting....

Akwaba people nko... Akan tribe

Even Ogbomoso has huge population of Ghananians

geosegun:
Very similar to Ękaabò (Welcome) in Yoruba. So the connection is real

Title of this song by Gyakie is "sor mi mu". Sor mi mu is a Ghanaian Akan language.

It also has same meaning as "so mi mu" in yoruba

Both Yoruba and Akan sentence translance to "hold me" in English.

Dem don use chest beating swear for these people. Empty drums make the loudest noise. They will fall sick if they don't chest beat atleast once a day.

Reno just called one of this miscreants to order today.

Dear @nnamdi_nzegwu,

Thank you for your feedback. I am not sure what you say is accurate. After the war, it was Igbo-speaking people in present-day Rivers (who say they are not Igbos) who took properties belonging to their fellow Igbo brethren in the name of abandoned property.

Such never occurred in the Midwest or Western Region. All the Igbos who had property in those regions were given back their property. All those who had bank accounts in Nigerian domiciled banks returned to meet their deposits intact.

It is a good thing you mention Chief Alex Ekwueme. He is An example of this. Although he was not friends, per se, with Otunba Subomi Balogun, they lived close to each other. Just before the outbreak of the civil war, Alex Ekwueme left Lagos for the Eastern Region, like most prudent Igbos.

After the war, he returned to Lagos and, surprisingly, met his house in a renovated condition. While wondering what had happened, his neighbour, Mr Subomi Balogun, approached him and gave him his back rent in cash.

Chief Ekwueme's children are still alive and can attest to this. The great man himself did admit to this while he was alive.

The £20 issue was only for Nigerians of Igbo origin who had savings in Biafran banks. You would not expect Nigeria to accept the Biafran pound, would you?

And, yes, you guys are industrious and very hardworking. I commend the Igbo for such virtues. But other ethnic nationalities are not doing too badly. The Southwest has the highest regional per capita income in Nigeria. Of the seven Nigerians ever listed by Forbes in their 100 world wealthiest list, the Southwest has four persons (Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola, Tope Awotona, and Folorunsho Alakija), the Northwest has two (Aliko Dangote and Abdul Samad Rabiu), while the South-South has one (Tony Elumelu). No other zone features in that list.

You may want to understand that Forbes Magazine does not do quota system. If you are rich, you are rich!

Sadly, many people have believed lies told by different people they look up to about the Civil War and its aftermath, and it is breeding hatred in them against other Nigerians. As Yeshua said, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!

Tinubu spokesperson in PDP has spoken.

Bunch of clowns.

No lefelandum no erection

Obidients have now started dragging the Ooni of Ife just as they are dragging Pst Adeboye on social media.

paramakina202:
Who told you that and when did Rex Lawson become Celestine Ukwu as told by Reno?
Secondly that song was released earlier before 1966. What your point.

Check the screenshot on my post.

paramakina202:
Ladies and gentlemen, everyone should know that Celestine Ukwu the late Igbo highlife singer was not the one that sang 'Ewu ne ebe Akwa' rather it was Rex Lawson the Ijaw highlife musician who released the song years before January 66 coup occurred but propagandist like Reno Omokri have pinned the song on innocent Igbo musician for political gain. Na God go judge all of una in this Nigeria. They can say anything to justify genocide against the Igbo.

Rex Lawson is half Igbo. Isn't he?

Mother tongue:
ewu=goat ,na ebe akwa=is crying

mokwechineme:
i won't be surprised every single house in that 'magacity is owned by ibos

LMAO. Arepo is not a mega city let alone an estate in Arepo.

Read the comments by fellow south easterners under the post before the guy was busted. All boast and vain attitude. Was humility not imbibed in South easterner's when they were kids.

What is it with Igbos and being boastful. Is it like the water you drink in the south east or just your culture. It's this same behavior that leads to all sorts of crimes in a bid to get rich quick.

Ofunaofu:
Then they should be allowed to secede

Instead of using themselves for target practice in the south east, their politicians in the Senate and HoR should begin the process.

What manner of behavior is this. Obidients and lies are like a snail and it's shell.

And South Easterners wonder why they are disliked around the world.

Biodun556:
Somebody should pls explain

Jew spotted

obi4eze:


Believe them at your peril. Just know that they will fo the opposite whenever they make a statement like this.

You think.

You go dey your house dey chop is ewu, while pushing others to go and take a bullet for your cause.

Dear IPOB and Obidatti's fanboys and fangirls. Do anyhow and be a fly ...

No further comments...

Afonjanistan:
That G-Boy is Gbadebo real name. I know him.
He's the main leader.

Hmmm. The part of his body seperated from his main body by a neck doesn't look like that of a Gbadebo. I am sure you mean "Gbarebo o gentle".

lexy2014:
these are weighty accusations that I will not just swallow. I dont understand what he saying but how is it possible for Igbos to be asked to just disembark from the buses? even if they were asked to, am very sure some people would have resisted. am finding it hard to believe the story.

I won't be suprised that the guy is IPOB member and trying to push an agenda. Agenda being that Ibos are being maginalized.

Krugisback:
Imagine abike babaewa Dabiri , no wonder her region is cursed with no natural resources

The same region that your people are running to as refugees,

when ESN/IPOB, red mud, and lack of opportunity won't let you stay in your own region.

chuose:
That woman & APC hates igbos

Then what is Umahi and Uzondima doing in APC then. Your "victim mentality" behavior is factory fitted.

Chucks13:
Can you imagine what a stupid statement. So Abkr did roll call and said igbos should go one side, Hausa one side and Yoruba one side baa? Oga you are very stupid.

Find your way back home no one send you to Sudan.

Some people actually believed that as you can see from the comments on the thread.

seunmsg:
I thought only South west and northern Muslims are in Sudan studying courses related to how to Islamize Nigeria. At what point did Igbos also get to Sudan? Are they there to study how to Islamize Nigeria or what?

Btw, is Abike Dabiri the minister of foreign affairs or Geoffrey Onyeama?

This guy was probably forming strong man and thought the Sudanese would settle their differences. When the ship had already sailed, he pulls the tribal card.

I see a lot of Nigerians making much of a muchness about Ethiopia allowing some other African nationals to seek refuge in Ethiopia via their land borders with Sudan, but stopping Nigerian citizens. It is not as a lot of us see it.

I have been to Ethiopia 17 times. If you know what some of our citizens (sadly, almost all from a particular geopolitical zone) have done there, you may even start to pity the Ethiopian government.

Ethiopia was forced to withdraw visa on arrival for Nigerian citizens in October of 2022.

Their prisons are full of Nigerians. They are just trying to resolve an internal existential crisis. As a matter of fact, the excuse they gave for withdrawing that privilege for Nigeria was because it "is aimed at better border control of movement of persons into Ethiopia in view of the ongoing armed conflict in the Northern part of the country."

It is easy to want to make Nigerian refugees Ethiopia's problem. But quite frankly, Ethiopia has more than enough problems to resolve right now. Our government has to step up and sit up.

For example, there are tens of thousands of Ethiopians from the Tigray region who are themselves refugees in Sudan, due to the Ethiopia-Tigray conflict. And Chad has closed her borders with Sudan. Egypt is looking like it wants to go that route.

As such, the priorities of the Ethiopians would be their own citizens first, and then members of their own subregional body, IGAD, before others.

This is not new, strange, or inhumane. It is exactly what happened when war broke out in Ukraine. The Ukrainian border guards prioritised their own citizens seeking to flee. Next came other Eastern Europeans, then the rest of the world. And then, just as now, Nigerians complained.

As a people, we Nigerians must really stop thinking emotionally, and start thinking strategically. We are after all a country that kicked out half a million Ghanaians during President Shagari's Ghana-must-go purge. And we did it at a time when Ghana was going through political upheaval.

They are not even fresh looking.

RockHard:
As an Obidient, I must confess I am very pained by this news report. Therefore I refuse to go to the UK anymore until the current Prime Minister is kicked out of office. I urge my fellow Obidients to follow suit by cancelling the UK and it's Prime Minister. UK economy about to go down. They've messed with the wrong ipobs Nigerians.

misano:
Ogun is planning to set an airport in 2023, shame. Ekiti has no airport till date. But U want to drag height with Delta that has 2 airports or Akwa Ibom that has an airline.

In the next 30 years Ogun will never be Delta in terms of wealth.

Even Tinubu is richer than Osun state.

Look at the chart. All your governors are stealing your money.

forgiveness:
Lagos already had Telephone, railway, banks, trams, street lights, well paved roads, bridges, seaport etc before the entity Southern protectorate was formed in 1900. Ever before oil was first discovered in Araromi Ondo state in 1908.

It was the wealth from Lagos the British used to develop other parts of Nigeria including South South before oil boom.

Don't allow anyone deceive you South South is more developed than South West. It's a fallacy.

Even cocoa money was used in developing the SW region before oil became commercial. Awolowo used the commonwealth of the SW to develop the industrial hubs of Lagos and Ogun. The Lagos immediately after independence was just a small part of Lagos Island.
