This is a common mistake you people continue to make.

1) Nobody denatured anybody's language. All over the world there are examples of similar languages spoken by related or unrelated ethnic groups.

2) What if it's the Igbos that borrowed the language from Ekpeye through Ikweres to Etche and finally to Igbos?

3) No ethnic group have a copyright over any name or language.

An English man or a Frenchman may bear Frank, Henry, Louis.

Hebrew , Aramaic and Arabic languages have so many similar words but none can claim to be a denatured of the other.

Ilah= Elai= Alaha= God
Ben= Bin= Son e.g Ben Yusuf/Bin Yusuf


Today, Igala and Yoruba languages are very similar but they are different ethnic groups.

Isoko and Urhobo languages are partially mutually intelligible.

Efik &Ibibio are partially mutually intelligible.

Yoruba and Itshekiri languages are partially mutually intelligible.

pazienza:
What they speak is an adulterated Igbo. They claim to have come from Bini, and we know Bini people don't speak Igbo language.
So basically, what you call Ikwerre language is a denatured form of Igbo language.
You cant denture someone language and call it yours without acknowledging the original owner.
Even the word "Ikwerre" is Igbo, meaning "Have you agreed", even their alternative name "Iwhuruoha" is a denatured Igbo "Ihuoha", meaning "the face of the people (Oha)".
If you borrowed alot from a people who never colonized you, including borrowing the name of your ethnic group from their language. Then you owe them alot and should show more respect to them.

I had repeatedly advised Ikwerre people to revert back to the Bini language of their ancestors, and Bini names as well and stop this whole confusion.

Many years ago, my bossom friend who is a Muslim was packing out of a flat and I indicated that I wanted to move in to the flat, my friend was a bit embarrassed and told me that their landlord doesn't give his house to non-muslim tenants!

OpinionCounts:
My brother, Saudi Arabia is even too far. You should ask him why people's shops in some states in the north are constantly invaded with the full backing of the state government and all the alcoholic drinks in them are destroyed just because they claim Islam is against alcohol, meanwhile Nigeria is not an Islamic country and there is freedom of religion in Nigeria.

Don't mind the hypocrites with their double standards.

OpinionCounts:
You are not in Saudi Arabia yet you invade people's shops and destroy drinks worth millions of naira because you claim it is alcoholic drinks and not acceptable in Islam. If a whole state government can do this in a state where you have multiple religion and freedom of religion then why do you dictate to a private institute how it should run its private institution? If you don't like the rules there, you simply get out. You cannot come to someone's private property and begin to dictate to him or her how to use it or run it. It's that not simple enough?

So you too have been suspecting that the 'Christian North' guy may have some forms of mental illnesses?

GlorifiedTunde:
I have resolved to stop reacting to his post, he may be mentally impaired without us knowing.

I think this MURIC should be on the watchlist of the DSS because it's an Islamic extremist group which can easily become another Boko Haram.


Thousands of Muslims have been killed by Boko Haram, Fulani Herdsmen and armed Bandits ,yet MURIC hasn't deem it fit to speak in favour of the Muslim victims but are usually quick to exploit Religious fault lines in the Country.

Bros, stop mentioning me in negative ways. You know nothing about me.

An igbo-hating and anti-yoruba christians spineless slowpoke.

Check it, most hateful souls here are yoruba moslems like BuhariAdvocate, Sarrki, GlorifiedTunde, Iammo, Deomole, Oyatz.

GlorifiedTunde seems to have converted to Christianity but he still hateful.

I think this is MURIC (Nairaland branch)

Leonbonapart:
is this actually Mumuric or someone impersonating

If you lack capacity for comprehension, it is NOT my fault.

My two posts are NOT mutually exclusive.

You don't win or lose an election soley because of only one factor but multiplicity of factors.

In Oyo State, Seyi Makinde of the PDP won because of
a) His likable personaliy
b) resentment against the Ajimobi-led APC administration.
The interference of Ex-Gov Ajimobi in the Ibadan traditional council, in the eyes of most Indigenes looked like attempts to whittle down the influence of the Olubadan of Ibadan (much like what's happening in Kano)

In Yorubaland, where many people still have great respect for traditional rulers, you will incur the wraths of many people if you are seen as attacking their traditional rulers.

This particular issue made Ajimobi very unpopular among the real Ibadan Indigenes and he lost his senatorial election (the largest voting block) while APC won Oyo Central and Oyo North Senatorial elections.

The poor management of the economy where States' Governments were owing workers up to six months salaries was surely to become an electoral matter.

Tinubu's matter was not an issue in the election.



#Everypoliticsislocal

Donelli:
Speaking from both sides of the mouth. You object to someone's hypothesis, yet make a similar submission in the reverse.

The younger generation of Igbos (especially online) hate Tinubu with a passion because they perceive Tinubu's Political structure as the greatest threat to an Igbo Political relevance in the present Political equation of Nigeria. QED

Mr Man, how did you come to the funny conclusion that any Yoruba man that voted for PDP in the 2019 hates Tinubu and wants Tinubu cut to size?

So you just think the people of Oyo State voted for Gov Seyi Makinde of the PDP because they want Tinubu cut to size?

What's the role of the performance of the APC State Government in earning the party re-election?

There are many politicians in APC who their electorates don't want in power anymore.

Bede2u:
u repeated the same silly mistake. The claim that it is only igbos who want tinubu downsized. Pdp got 47% of yoruba votes. Let that sink in. That is over 1.5 million people...cut across different states. Pdp won a state from apc in yorubaland. So tell me again that only igbos hate him.

Now lets reason....the fool who wrote this claim to be igbo...does he too hate tinubu? U guys are hate filled idiots really. Trying to maintain a media onslaught against igbos for wat ever reason. The only tribe in nigeria that has voted for ppl from every region is igbos. I repeat u guys are idiots for continuing to insult us for rejecting buhari 5 times. Has buhari proved us wrong with his style of leadership? Idiots i say again

Why do you people constantly feel the need to compare your people with other tribes in this Country?

Why not just make your comments without drawing tribes into it?








Shun Tribalism... it's a waste of education.



The cultural practice and worldviews of the Igbos are different from that of the Hausas, Nupes, Tivs, Yorubas or the Ijaws but this may not necessarily mean Yorubas are better than Igbos or Igbos are better than non-Igbos.

GidiWoodsMan:
This is very true. The rich Yoruba man keeps giving his poorer relatives handouts, feeding money, so they can continue worshipping him like some type of supernatural being. He keeps his business very secret. The Hausa man will not even hand out money, but food. Morning, afternoon, night, he expects his wretched relatives by his door with empty plates so he can feed them while they remain useless. God forbid they aspire to an education! God has decreed them to be poor.

The Ibo man will apprentice his brother/relative for a number of years, showing them the in & out of the business because he wants them to be as successful as himself or even greater, God willing. After some years he sets them up in the same business often within walking distance of his own shop, because he never sees them as competition or as a threat.

You posts was syllogically defective and irrelevant to the issues I raised.


In an intellectual debates, you adduce evidence to support or refute claims NOT bringing useless unintelligent issues and pasting peurile posts that are not related to the topic under consideration.


I know this is clearly above your understanding, so go and look for your mates,so you can be doing dick measuring contests to see whose religion is most silly.





Goodbye and don't quote me again.

Empiree:

We are definitely not operating from the same frequency.

I am not into dick measuring contest with you, go and look for your mates.
Point to any statement I wrote that was a lie.

Don't quote me again if you don't understand what I wrote.

Empiree:
one again, guy, please we don't need propaganda here. I know from day one the moment you posted your first post. Please take your propaganda elsewhere. Were Muslims not killed by the same people?.

How about this (screenshot)?.

Guy, don't get me started

PDP should not 'interfer' in the ways the members chose their leaders.

Who is Otem Atum, is he a well known anti-religion guy?

aadoiza:
I can see OtemAtum's been busy.

Then you shouldn't have tried to down play my efforts.

This is not about Politics. Everything I wrote happened and are 100% true.


Nigerians have been killed by Islamic fundamentalists for similar and even lesser issues.


Kiss the truth.

Empiree:
guy, I don't have time for this. Don't bring politics here, please. Thanks

What are you saying?

Were you not in this country when the then deputy Governor of Zamfara State, Mahmud Shinkafi declared that 'All Muslims should consider the killing of Isioma Daniel (a journalist with ThisDay Newspaper) a Religious obligation' for writing an article in the Newspaper about the likelihood of Prophet Mohammed approving the holding of Miss World beauty peagents and possibly marrying one of the contestants if he were to be alive in 2002?

Where were you when many Nigerians were killed by Muslim terrorists because someone in Faraway Denmark drew a cartoon of Prophet Mohammed?

Where were you when Gideon Akaluka was beheaded by Islamic fundamentalists in Kano and his head paraded on a stick simply because his wife wiped her anus with a sheet of paper with Arabic inscription which they claimed was Quran (actually a Shia propaganda Magazine from Iran)?



I am trying to prevent potential violence and you are discouraging it

Empiree:
guy, stop inciting hatred here. No one is killing anyone. OtemAtum had right to post his introduction. My response here is more appropriate to bring his attention to the wrong thread. Only op has final say not me either.

Please stop hatred against muslims. Thanks

A very good proverb.
Many indigenous African tribes have produced Noble men and sages with quotes of wisdom.

They were actually Philosophers , only that they didn't develope extensive writing systems.

Which truths?

Your so-called truths can lead to the loss of lives and properties of innocent Nigerians when Terrorists start Killing people for your insults against Allah.

ChristianNorth:
The blood of the 5 slains are on Yoruba moslems

The truth of the matter is that it will be difficult to eradicate Boko Haram because of



1) Boko Haram is based on religious doctrines and religions touch the minds especially in a poor third world country.

2) The areas where Boko Haram operate is populated by people who share the same Religious views with Boko Haram but may not manifest it violently i.e these people are passive sympathizers of Boko Haram. Hence future Boko Haramists can easily be recruited from these populations.


For instance, it will be very difficult for Boko Haram to make Port Harcourt, Aba or Lagos their operational bases because most people in these places are against what Boko Haram stand for.

I don't like bad news,I work, hope for and pray for the good of Nigeria.
I am NOT one of the children of hatred who rejoice with and celebrate attacks by terrorists against their country.

You like many young Nigerians seems not to understand that being educated goes beyond going to school.

It's such mentality like this that make many young Nigerians to be calling a retired General in The Nigerian Army an 'illiterate or Dullard'.

The experience, exposure, discipline and professional training of a Colonel who is not a graduate is superior to someone who just bagged BSc in Animal husbandry or B.A in Fine & Applied Arts.


I personally know many people who didn't attend much regular schooling while growing up but have since further their education through correspondence courses, private home teaching, adult education and numerous sandwich programmes.

Most of the trade unionists attended only
Modern Schools, Secondary schools or even dropped out at Form 2-3 (JSS-3) but they have upgraded themselves to be almost at par with Senators, Governors, Directors the other who call the shots in society.

Justiceleague1:
Buh buh majamajic says he's a treasurer. How can someone barely educated be a treasurer?




Oh! He's an agberoes treasurer

Alamoo:
How some people think sef . I've not read a write-up this stupid in a long time. blaming a whole region for someone's travail is the new definition of madness

One major problem with many young people online is that they become too personal and emotional about the Political issues in the land and this make it difficult for them to debate Political issues logically without losing their calmness.



I am a REALIST and not a tribal bigot. My education, family background, cosmopolitan experience of life and expose has elevated me beyond the pettiness of bigotry.




I have nothing against you, Dave Umahi or the Igbos generally becoming the president.
I personally wish we can become mature to a stage that we will be able to elect Political office holders without considering their ethno-religious backgrounds.

TSRC:
It depends on the region divide the seat has beem zoned to.

If it is zoned to the south, i don't see how saraki, kwankwaso and co would be in play.
The last primaries saw northerners alone squaring up to themselves because the pdp zoned it to the north.
In a southern only primaries, i don't see any southerner that can stop an umahi or even an igbo consensus for that matter.

You are beginning to sound like a bigot and a hater which i initially suspected.

I am done with you.
