Northerners forced from home due to hardships in NE return home.

I am very proud of these people in NE. They have endured war, massacre, starvation, kidnap, loss of property, their schooling interrupted, businesses destrkyed, their infants murdered in front of them, their pregnant wives impaled, their husbands and sons beheaded, their underage girls rap.ed and impregnated, families separated and then forced out of their country to go live in refugee camps in neighbouring countries. Here they are, as the hardship and wars in their towns subside they begin to return home to begin a new life. No where is sweeter that home, sweet home!

These people are not going to Lagos, Abuja or Kano....NO, they are resettling their destroyed lands to rebuild. This is strength, this bravery, this is heroism, this will be the new strength in a future North.


I hope others across Niger who are scattered all over Yorubaland as refugees will heed calls from their leaders to come home. If they cant hear their leaders call, they should take lesson from the Kanuris and follow this heroic act.

Morolake Congratulations to you!
You are beautiful and your story is inspiring.

Long story short, I love your picture here. This is money! Where is nike, reebok, puma...this is huge revenue.

EMMAUGOH:
You should rather be worried about the volatile attitude of your so-called leaders, their whorish attitude when it comes to leadership. Its now clear why Buhari has to work with Tinubu for Last election but an adage says that a snake can never fail to give birth to what is Long.

The problem my forefathers made in politics was not detecting that whorish attitude of yorouba politicians on time.

Long story short, you are here to lament the hands dealt to your forefathers by afonja. No problem, follow arrows and go that way ^^^^ bucket dey there, tissue dey to wipe eyes.

Whorudeceiving, follow your brother that way ^^^^ and give him emotional support. He is grieving the mistakes of his forefathers. Thank you both for stopping by.

Can we hear something from opposition on behalf of PDP in Ondo? ...something, anything.....

Meanwhile, Congrats to APC, Congrats to Yoruba, Congrats to West. Let's bring Ekiti in!

Kagawa10:


Contrary to Osu dumb heads, Tinubu didn't support Oke. Oke already made that clear and he didn't even have the money to spend to lure voters unlike Mimiko and Aketi!

Oke wasn't even Tinubu candidate during the Apc primaries, Abraham was his candidate and Tinubu wasn't even around during the election!

So, Osu try to use your brain, I know you're dumb but still..

...i knew this would happen to them, is why i have a bucket for tears and tissues to wipe eyes. Any can of snuff left behind will end in thrash.

galeiiTNA:
Just like Tinubu, Afonja god and personal saviour. They have now jumped ship and are congratulating the same person they initially didnt support

Yorubas congratulating Yorubas.

Go and hug Buhari!

The presentation you've put together can be easily done for other groups of women, obviously the lace blouse isn't an African inventions, so the 50's photograph isn't really relevant.

Ijebu women

The 50s picture is very relevant. Her adornment has meaning and history, it speaks overall of the society she is a member of.

Im glad you brought out this picture of Ijebu women. For a very long time explorers had asked permission to enter into the sanctum of Yoruba Temples and their request was always turned down. Around 1940s the restrictions were a bit relaxed due to influence from Yoruba scholars who wanted to document for anthropological records and history. So access were given into the outer rooms to allow pictures, interviews and sometimes observation of cult rituals.

This was one of the recordings of high priests of a female cult in the Sungbo Temple. This is their regalia when in the Temple.

Sungbo is formaly referred as Bilikisu Sungbo. She is the famous Queen who bore a child for King Solomon of the dynasty of King David. Her resting place is in Eredo.

The woman in foreground sits with feet rested on a log. In other words, in a state of divine purity, with a tefillin resting on her head and bears the star of david and other insignias of office. She is the high priest. Others to her left and right are ranking mystics in varying degrees of ascension or mysticism. Outside the Temple they will dress in normal clothes with a shawl draped on the shoulder to indicate they belong in Sungbo temple.

Go and hug Buhari....

God Bless Southwest!


from APC National Leader, Ahmed Tinubu.

Following the announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with regard to the governorship elections in Ondo State, I extend congratulations to Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN. on the outcome of the election and for his perseverance and persistence in seeking that office.

I must also congratulate the people of Ondo State for their generally exemplary conduct on election day and for demonstrating their will to shun the regressive politics of yesterday by returning to the progressive brand of politics that has been the trademark of the people of that state.

I congratulate all party members in the state, particularly the party leadership in the Southwest.

If ofonjas misbehave u come back with our son



Lotanna baby b rocking his Igbo attire...son of d soil

You like to yarn nonsense.

That little man last name na Fani-Kayode. How is that your son in East, Iboman dey answer kayode?

GorkoSusaay:


Yes, Iyasu's mother was Shoa Reggad, Menelik's daughter. The child in the picture with Menelik is the future Haile Selassie, though. Haile Selassie was also part of the Royal Family. His paternal grandmother Tenagne Worq was the daughter of King Sahle Selassie of Showa, who was also Menelik's grandfather

Thanks for clarity.

Alariwo2:


kanu the political prisoner?

ahhhh, political prisoner ke?
Kanu is a terrorist. Itz on record he was trying to procure armarment for attack on Nigeria.

EternalTruth:
but isn't it obvious that what the igbos need is compensation in politics and true federalism without marginalization..
I think at least if a SE is made a Vice President then the propagation for BIAFRA will ease and reduce...
cc : hiredkiller I'm I right?

no one will just give Igbo a Presidential or VP slot. Presently they carry a lot of deficits and are doing nothing to improve assets.

They identify as PDP. Well APC just defeated PDP in Ondo, and they are jubilating. Which political party will invest its chances in a people who see nothing wrong in political blunders?

Recently they had a top level elders meeting in Enugu at the end of which a communique was issued. The keypoint of the discussion is a reinvestment and re energization of economy in SE, prompting the leaders to declare to their people to return home. Following that, they organized a cultural unity day announcing that all the SE governernors and industry giants wil be there. You would think wisdom will prevail and they will do it in SE, no, they choosed to do it in Lagos, in contradiction of the message calling for economic revitilization in SE.
Moreover, the unity day was scheduled for yesterday and its not clear that it was held.

If you are chairman of major political party you will pick one of these people to be your flag bearer?

Ibos belong in and support PDP as they claim yet offer no opposition whatsoever to APC.

APC just defeated PDP in Ondo and they are happy jubilating for APC victory.

Come 2019 which party is going to invest in a people with zero political class?

Today, Lagos State is a mega city in the south- west; Abuja is also becoming a mega city in the north but south- east has none! It is time for Ndigbo to unite and fight for a common course. The Igbos that are leaving both within the country and in Diasporas should come back home and invest in developing the south-east zone.

TO chart a common front for Igbo people, irrespective of political, religious and other affiliations, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo will hold Igbo unity day and cultural festival in Lagos.

-----------------------------------------------------------------


we are urging everyone to come home and develop SE but meanwhile mark it on your calendar to attend this cultural and unity gathering in Lagos, all Igbo leaders will come from East and abroad to attend....date, November 26th.

By the way, what's today's date?

IgboRulesOthers:


I got it from internet...

I know ofonjas like loose women dats y uploaded it....guy if u c how they disturbing me

of course thats what we like, plump titt1es for suckling and big yansh to absorb the impact of our thrusts and deliver spice and sweet to your body. Why wont we disturb you....we are not created to look like your limp brothers. We put fire in you!

pazienza:


Trash. Same pile of crap.
See a pre independent Nigerian picture of an Igbo woman that was taken in Onitsha.
See the those corals?
Different parts of Igboland evolved differently, independent of other parts.

This picture highlights the problem I outlined earlier in regards to traditional Ibo clothing and style.

This woman wears damask, but we know damask is not an Ibo material. She has beads but we also know thats not an Ibo jewelry. Mention damask and we know you are talking about Yoruba, mention coral beads and we knoq you are referring to Edo and proto Edo culturea.

So what explains why this Igbo woman is wearing outfits that are foreign to Ibo culture? Is this another evidence of acculturation or assimilation and borrowing of foreign clothings and style?

prince9851:

seriously?
is dis d only response ur afonja brain could come up with??
cant u at least try to make a point??
biafrans say dey want to leave d zoo, they don't want anything to do with afonja again, so y shld dey care about wat is happening in ondo
wat is so special about ur ondo?
mtchew
to b an afonja is a bad thing

Go and find an Oduduwa shrine and bow down and pray for ipob salvation.

gbosaa:



So you think cucumber will consent to get anywhere within Afonja woman's infamous nyamanyama, atiti and doti thighs and the potopoto sewage in between that is allergic to even lagoon water??

Keep consoling ya self.

how will you know what Yoruba woman look like in her thighs when her passion only leads her to open them to the impulsive passion of men with phallic thrusts?

Small boys with limp meat should know better than to fantasize about a Yoruba vixen and her inner thighs.

gbosaa:


Yes she is. She has brought the cucumber to transform Afonja lives.

she needed cucumber in East because Ibomen are impotent. Yoruba does not need the urging, tell her relocate so we give life to that pussy quick! No nwanyi uses cucumber in West, they know what to do.

gbosaa:


Afonja.

Chioma Anyanwu won.

She came from the land of red soil to transform brown roofs. She came, saw and conquered.

Igbos voted en masse.

who is Chioma, is that the cucumber chick? Yeah, she won Ms Anambra nau.

fulanimafia:
Can people kindly carry out their pain management without flooding my mentions?

Thanks.

Ipob cant face Yoruba alone, they have to invoke you for support.

Their bucket of tears is not even half way yet so dont go too far they need you to back them up.

prince9851:

guy to b honest, nobody gives a rats ass about ondo Election
u know d problem with afonja?
u think ur so important but u are not
jesus

Oduduwa is your God, your salvation.

Ojukkwufrank:
Lol. Eboes are funny people. From GEJ till 2019, to Biafra or we die and now Atiku 2019 . Very funny tribe.

certain things are predictable for 2019:
1. Ohanaeze is going to come out and declare 100% support for Atiku and call out that any Ibo who does not vote Atiku is a bast.a.rd. They will give the support without any negotiation and tradings for the position of VP. Even if they ask for VP, realizing Ibo political deficits across the nation, Atiku is likely to look elsewherw for VP.

2. Nwabueze, Ekwueme and their hosts of leaders will come out and complain that Buhari has marginalized Ibos and thats why Atiku got their endorsements. This will further fire up their supporters who will castigate Atiku as anti West and anti North but pro East and that he has promised them a referendum on Biafra if he wins.

3. Atiku has competed in every election since 93 to become President and failed in each one. He is hungry for that position and will tilt to anyone that can get him in. He has realized what Tinubu can do and will approach Jagaban for help. Jagaban has learnt, with Buhari, the dos and donts of alliance with North. Obj and Tinubu have reconciled but not Atiku. Tinubu will hold Atiku's nose to the fire. The conditions will be too hard for Atiku to accept. He may have to switch to Oshiomhole with offer of VP.

4. Atiku is a personification of corruption and theivery. Those Governors that came to government house with intention to get rich quick but has been reined by Buhari's anti corruption crusade and a lot of their bank rollers wil jump camp, abandon Buhari and form new party under Atiku. Same goes for Senators and Reps.

5. If Atiku is able to satisfy Jagaban's demands and secure his support, all the thieves with money hidden away and those almost bankrupt by Buhari will see new horizon to return to business of corruption as usual and will pump plenty of money in. Likewise, foreigners who benefitted under a regime of corruption but are finding it hard to get contracts under Buhari will also aid Atiku.

6. Either way we look at it, Soludo is deffinitely going to be in Atiku's cabinet. Soludo is pro Yoruba and may succeed in convincing West to relax and give some reliefs for infrastructural developments in East.

7. Corruption and free looting will return big time but Atiku will use secret agencies to persecute perceived enemies instead of turning them to fight criminals.

After APC won, 5%ers formed camp under PDP. So we expected you to step up and lead opposition against the ruling govt. So far, only Yoruba men, Fayose and FFK have stepped up and led opposition against Buhari.

The only opposition 5%ers lead are against Tinubu. But Tinubu is not government.

If Yoruba have a penchant for betrayal, Ibo has a rooted trait for fearing Hausa and Fulani.

Case in point, you displayed the same cowardice after millions of you were killed in Arewa and you shouted war against North, but when the opportunity came you turned your back to them and went into minority areas planting flags and declaring them a Biafran republic. You even attempted a march into Yorubaland but we had to whip you back into your sense.

Where is your opposition now to Buhari? If not Yoruba men that have spoken up for PDP there would be zero opposition and Buhari would just do as he likes everywhere.

Stop opposing Tinubu, he is not government....Buhari is government, face him if you have any ounce of brevity in your spines.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


Politicians are pretenders and more so Yoruba ones are backstabbers, so, what's your point?
Doesn't Buhari and Ekweremadu shake hands?
Buhari and Jonathan?
Abeg, swerve. Child

Can you imagine how successful Ekweremadu could be as a deputy Senate Leader if he could just shake hands with the President?

Thats the highlight of difference between Yoruba and Ibo politics.

You look for ways to open divisions and camp on different sides.

We look for ways to bridge gaps and even if our camps are different, we explore ways to unite it.

Im glad this self-revelation of idiocy and admission of political deficit
was made by an Iboman.

basilo102:

COntinue consoling yourself. Btw, i don't know why you think yorubas own APC. we have discovered how you take advantage of igbos rejection of buhari who is a total failure. we have corrected that. you must compete now, if you support a devil next time we will send all Lucifers in our region to join him too

Lmfao..hahaha. You have discovered
Hahahahahahahahahahaha...

Good job with your discovery. Hmmmm...

chiefobdk:
dear op. this thread shows you kno nothing.


Igbos re the spectators.

the fight is between PDP.
yoruba apc wbo moved tp AD
and fulano APC.


t he afonja lost out to the fulani mafia.


you should console ur afonja brethren because we better south re laughing our azs out.



its quite funny d hypocrisy of afonjas. d afonjas whp supported olusola oke. will now conveniently switcb back to aketi.

Wow, Fulani mafia must be feared then. Otherwise they will come and take over Lagos.

I see how powerful they are when Fayose enforced anti grazing law in Ekiti and they came and begged him for peace. Very powerful mafia group, they must be feared.

are all Igbos toddlers or are they adults that have developmental syndromes?

WhoRUDeceiving:


Actually the 2015 general election revealed that there are a lot of people in "Nigg.a Area" that think like, well, Ni.ggas, supporting, campaigning, and championing an old semi-literate coupist from the 1980s to come and lead them.

The 2015 elections revealed that despite having a democracy for 16 years, a free and fair election was something difficult for "Nigeria" to do, as many states were still inconclusive.

And above all, the 2015 elections revealed that the people of the former Eastern and Midwestern regions would always be backstabbed by Oduduwa, in preference of looting their resources and ability while sharing as junior partners to the Fulani Caliphate.

So much for revelations

jeez, Eastern and Midwestern!

Ive not heard that term Midwestetern in over three decades.

Anyway, if for over 30yrs Yoruba has continued to backstab you and you continue to take it and lament instead of stabbing him back, then you have a problem, not him!

He said, “Igbo people are majority tribe in Nigeria. We are everywhere and doing greatly.”

lmao.

First of all, may God forgive me for what Im about to say. Some few days ago someone here wrote and posted a thread filled with elaborate racist remarks against Ibos. I was shocked, it was very denigrating and compared them to a low beast. I couldn't even comment that's how hard it hit me. I believe its thrown in thash but thinking to the statement made above by Iwuanyanwu and recalling some of the things that poster said about Ibo is making me think twice if he was wrong.

So if we take stock of demography in each state is Ibo majority?

Is Ibo majority in Lagos, Ibadan, Sokoto, Edo, Kano, Kogi, Niger, Rivers, Delta, Borno, Jigawa, Ekiti, Ondo, Akwa Ibom......?

As much lands and populations Hausas have they are mindful not to claim themselves a majority.

Iwuanyanwu, a millionaire and politician talked like a IPOB in Nairaland. One should not wonder where these Igbos get their ridiculous statements and warped ideas from....people like Iwuanyawu!

basilo102:

Bros, Tinubu candidate has been humiliated. thats the main issue here.

the humiliation of Tinubu candidate is the catalyst that produced a guy through whom Ondo has been returned to join a common political platform across Yorubaland.

Dude, you are getting there. It is tiresome but i see my efforts on you paying off. In one sentence a Yoruba already got it. I have to spend three and four pages of coaching to get IPOB there but its a relief you got the point now why we jubilate for Ondo and Yorubaland.

basilo102:

Lol comedians everywhere, decision at Kano meeting triumphed who cares about your toothless odua rubbish

if we unplug that Oodua "rubbish" Iboland will perish. Heck...we havent even unplugged it and Iboland is already submerged in deficits.

Africonji:


Without you pipo we will get Biafra. Mark my words. The world is already paying attention to us. You slaves have already chosen to remain subjugated by your masters but we are not cowards.

really?

Lmao. Has Obasanjo agreed to allow your Biafra? Your grandpas identification pass, the surrender documents and the declaration of a defunct republic and all the insignias of Biafra were supervised by Obasanjo. Would you like to see the pass of a defunct Biafran?

Miraculously, Obasanjo is also the Chairperson of the association of past global leaders. I dont see how Biafra can get around him.

If Obasanjo says yes to Biafra you will have a republic. If he says no, then you remain defunct and no republic.

So has Obasanjo said yes to Biafra?
