SmartPolician: There was no way anyone would have wanted to be a part of Biafra at the time because that decision came with weighty consequences.
For some reason, the world only remembers the genocide in Rwanda but people don't know that more Igbos died during the Biafran war than in Rwanda. Of course, nobody would have loved to sacrifice their people for this. You mischievous tried to turn this protests carriwx out to draw attention to the suffering and massacres of Rivers peoples to Igbo issues. |

Agunesinjaweola: Why not  Is an IGBO man not a Nigerian !?? Betty helped Akeredolu to succeed in life. There is a difference between personal life of Akeredolu and Akeredolu's administration in Ondo State. It is very wrong for the wife of the Governor to be attempting to impose her tribal person as the Chairman of the LOCAL Government of Odigbo. For instance, how will it feel if Mrs Ronke Uzodinma (as Imo State First Lady) is trying to impose Mr Tajudeen Adigun as Chairman of Mbaise Local Government. |

I will ignore your insultive word for this last time. It means you haven't been following Betty Akeredolu on Social Media exchanging insults with people. The woman likes power, not necessarily because she is Igbo but because she is a WOMAN! Most women ,that find themselves in positions of power can 'over do issues' In the History of Lagos , one woman called Erelu Kuti who was the daughter of the first King, Oba Ado, seized power after the death of her nephew and attempted to rule but because she was a woman, she couldn't be crown an Oba but negotiated to have her son crown King ,Oba Ologun Kutere and a new high ranking title was created for her other son , Onilegbale. Since then all the Obas were her descendants. This show how the extent on how women love power |

TopBanter: No. Seyi has largely been privileged and indulged. He has never been Street because you need to be in the Street to be legit street.
They just have different mums. Yinka is Remi’s son whereas Seyi is Tinubu’s son from another woman. Children don’t get the full spectrum of their character from one parent.
Yinka may have more of Remi in him and Seyi may have his dads chromosomes as more dominant in his DNA. Then personality differ. I was surprised one day when our elderly neighbour of many years talked about one of the numerous young men in his house as his son. Then, i initially thought he just used the 'son' casually then their uncle confirmed it that that young man in his true son and that i should check their grandfather's portrait in the sitting room with that guy's face. Then i asked why is this guy so disciplined, respectful and not wayward like his older children (i used to think he was just an extended family member living with them). He explained that ,unlike the older children who were born and raised in the UK, this last born was born in Nigeria and once lived with their Grannies. |
Culture › Re: Is Yoruba Subtly Colonizing? by oyatz(m): 10:50pm On Dec 17, 2023 |
This is NOT true and very insensitive to the other Nigerians.
The true picture is that Nigeria is gradually becoming a nation, through cultural assimilation and cultural diffusion.
Every tribe will give and receive certain things from each other over a long period to for a new Nation from the various components.
even Yoruba also borrow and assimilate several things from other tribes e.g Foods (Fufu, Isi-Ewu, Ogbono, Suya etc), Words (Oga, Adura) and above all DNA as inter-tribal marriages have increased in the last 30 years. This isn't just in Lagos but in many rural areas of Osun and Ondo States where the populations of Urhobo,Igala, Agatu and now recently Igede Farm workers have risen astronomically from the 1960s and these people marry (or more correctly, impregnate and get impregnated by) the local indigenes. |

Neckpresser101: If you're a linguist you'd know that
Words can be borrowed from people you've made contact with and doesn't necessarily means they don't have a word for it . They just prefer to use the borrowed word
I had a conversation about this topic with my friend yesterday . He's actually a linguist , He said it's absolutely possible to replace a local word by a borrowed word from another neighbouring language. According to him it's called Lexical replacement or loan word replacement. It happens alot especially with society you've come in contact with and it's the basis of English language . English is 80+% loanwords! So what's the fuss about. You keep diverging to irrelevant issues. In the numerous 'oriki' (Praise poetry/ panegyrics) of the Oba of Bini, there are many references to Oduduwa and his royal titles but none to Izoduwa or Elkerledahan. This simply means, the Izoduwa/Elkerledahan (which was never mentioned in the earliest recorded histories of Bini by the European Visitors/Traders who visited Bini centuries ago and Native Historians) is a recent fabrication. |

Neckpresser101: You realise bini and other languages of southern Nigeria are from the Niger-Congo language family
And yes there are converging linguistic links here and there
For example
Oba in ìgbo means Barn for yams and other produces
Obà still means that plant used in making calabash
So don't brag about origin of word with people you're in same language family with
It ight mean something in their language you never can tell
If na lie ask any Igbo person wetin Olaniyi means in Igbo you'll be shocked Both the words Oba and Bini are of Yoruba origins. The Bini word for king is Ogie and ONLY the Yoruba dynasty in Edo uses the title of Oba. Oba (Yoruba)= to reign . This is why you hear the saying in Yoruba 'Oba ba l'ori oungbo' = The King reign over everything. Oba (Igbo) = Barn , has no correlation with kingship. Oranmiyan started the Obaship in Igodomingodo which he re-named Ile-Ibinu=> Ule-Ibinu=> Ubini=> named Benin by the Portuguese. |
