Everyone takes snakes seriously
No one laughs off a snake

Say what you will about snakes, you can't say they are "empty barrels,noisemakers". You'd be making a fool of yourself, right?

0monnak0da:
Nothing to argue Ibos are known as empty barrels,noisemakers.
If you have to argue that you are great then you certainly are not
Continually arguing that you are great is a sign of extreme foolishness
Don't tell us show us

You are the only one arguing. Arguing something that is littered throughout history.
Show you? There is a looong historical trend of
real-life esults that shows you. Which is why it is baffling that you are wasting your time arguing this of all things!

0monnak0da:
.Nothing to argue Ibos are known as empty barrels,noisemakers.

Ahmadu Bello would beg to disagree. Otherwise why not laugh them off? Why does everyone take them so seriously?

What you were known for in the first republic under Azikiwe was nepotism that makes Buhari look like a saint
The first Nigerian to forge a Doctor of science Dsc degree was one of you Sylvester Anieke
Zik promoted him when exposed. There were countless cases
Again we saw the same shenanigans with Chima Igwe at FIIRO today with Ogbonnaya Onu

You know, I can't believe someone is actually arguing this. It is not about Yoruba! And it is not about one anecdotal or isolated incident or person. It is an established historical pattern! How many tribes are in Nigeria? Historocally, Igbos have been and are in virtually all of them. Go ask any of them if Igbos are lazy, shifty, party animals. There is too much data to work with, a long historical trend of real-life results. It is not something that started with Lugard or first republic. Stop arguing an established historical fact. It makes you look dumb!

Do u have visa?

0monnak0da:
It was not an example it was a parable
Maybe you need to pay attention
Maybe Igbo nature is different from Hausa nature
Maybe the Hausa Nature has a hierarchy and structure about how a headman in a labour camp should emerge He was not admiring Igbo attitude. He was resentful of it.
The parable is lost and wasted on you
He said Igbos are the type of people ( indicating difference) who want to dominate everybody and monopolize everything and continued to issue this parable about labour camp
You can interpret it anyhow you like
What you cannot do is impose your interpretation on me
If you genuinely care about this topic
Research the date of this interview,and find any newspaper headlines from that time

You will understand what he meant by OBSESSION. That was a polite euphemism for some thing more sinister that was brewing and which ended as it did
Instead of listening you continue on this path of deafness and self righteousness talking nonsense about how Ibos excel everywhere.

Of course he was resentful, the same way you are resentful right now - and jealous!
I told you before, this is an observation that has been made throughout their history, it did not start with Ahmadu Bello. Generally, Igbos tend to excell, especially they tend to end up the foreman, or headboy, things like that - the person trusted by those in authority. Maybe it is work ethic, whatever it is - it is a historical fact. Check, even durring slavery it was evident. Same with earlier in Nigeria, b4 they took away meritocracy!

Keep dreaming. Tinubu that doesn't know where he is half the time. Way worse than Buhari who was only clueless.
I can assure you of one thing - last thing on Tinubu's mind would be Nigeria's problems!

You and this virgin ish
What happened to you?
Give us the full gist.
Must be a very interesting story!

0monnak0da:
He was clearly saying Ibos are the type of people simplistic dominate everybody and monopolize everything
There is nothing to argue
Those are his words

What do you mean by speak well?
Do. ibos leaders speak well?
That is unintelligent talk

My friend he gave example of a labour camp. Is it not human nature to want to emerge head if you can? Igbos could, consistently!
Today is it not Northerners wanting to dominate everybody and monopolize everything. Because they can! That's human nature. No one would stay just a laborer if they can be foreman!

** I'm impressed how articulate Northern leaders of those days were. Today it is "quom" for come and "fifle" for people!

0monnak0da:
Was he asked only one question?
You hear what you want to hear
His answer was they are the type of people who want to dominate everybody and monopolze everything,if they are put in a labour camp within a year they would TRY to emerge as headman
That is a lament about greed not excellence

Is that true or false? Is that what He said or not?
He was asked about the unity of Nigeria and his Northernisation policy too
So stop telling stupid lies
You can continue deluding yourself that is definitely one thing Ibos excel in self delusion.

What evidence do we have of this excellence in Ibo land?

Today they are excelling. In India

You people are pathetic
Are you still on this Olaudah matter?
First he is not Ibo and there is nothing special about him.
Again. Jaja was an Igbo slave removed from Igboland as a child claiming him is like claiming Michael Tyson?
By the way what was so special about him?
Who is The greatest home grow. Ibo man ever?What is his contribution to humanity?

Bros, what are you arguing sef. Ahmadu Bello was clearly saying that if you have a meritocracy, an even playing field, Northerners can't compete; that Igbos will (by merit) emerge as heads.

** BTW why can't Northern leaders of these days speak half as well as Ahmadu Bello and Abubakar?? Very articulate people

0monnak0da:
You are very good at talking but not listening.
You feel you have won an argument after talking so much rubbish and then are surprised when a different reality emerges
He. NEVER SAID IBOS WOULD EMERGE AS ANYTHING

You people are incurable liars
He said THEY WOULD TRY TO EMERGE etc
He was highlighting a cultural difference
He said the
Ibos are the type of people who desire to dominate everybody and monopoloze etc.....
You CHOOSE to formulate that in your own terms
Basically he was sayingYou are greedy
rather than listen you repackage it with your moronic smiley
That was the narrative in Nigeria in 1964 and 1965
Akintola equally made a video to that effect
https://m.youtube.com/watch?=UNPzWW3kXVg

Lol See him.
He was asked why the obsession with IBOS (no one else!)
My friend you are trying to overturn established historical fact in a NL post: Igbos tend to excell wherever they are, and it always elicits the type of jealousy you are now exhibiting. From the time of slavery (Google Olaudah Equano, Jaja of Opobo, etc) to the colonial times, to after the Civil War when they started from nothing, to now, the narrative is same.
You are out to overturn all that with a hysterical post on NL. Good luck

Have the child. You'd be surprised how it will become the apple of your parents' eye after the initial disappointment. Also, we humans don't use up to ⅛ of our potential. Having a child to take care of will force you to use yours. You'd be more successful in life having that child and doing your best to give him/her a good life. There are spiritual aspects to these things. It is not 1+1=2

0monnak0da:
That Is your egotistical baggage
The point cannot be gasped without context
Th context
THEN was The North were not interested in Nigeria
Go and check history
You can have your own typical delusional idea of level playing field
They reality is the field was not level or the North and South
They did not have u o 20 graduates in the whole of Northern Nigeria at some point hence his bitterness That was not level
Now there were graduates in Yoruba land who stayed on their lane but Ibos because there was nothing in their own land were moving to the north in numbers fuelling bitterness
Nobody is better than anyone it all comes down to circumstances
but you continue pushing this narrative.
If you are so great where I is he evidence in any of your governors or states?

The South had an advantage in education and he we worried about the strategic implication for HIS PEOPLE

That is the fundamental difference
Their leaders focus on what benefits THEIR. PEOPLE
There I no single SE state that anyone looks up to or anything

Did you watch the video? He said nothing about graduates. The example he gave was labour camp
- after he was asked why their obsession with Ibos (no mention of any other tribe). He said because an Ibo WILL somehow emerge the chief laborer in the labour camp if you let things just play out evenly!

Paretomaster1:
He was right, at the time the Igbos are already taking up positions in the Northern civil service, and they are already planning a takeover.

Ahmadu Bello saw this, and that is what eventually got him killed.

The Igbos proved him right by staging that needless, and bigotic Coup to take power.

His speech is not out of place, at that time we operate a regional system, and he have the right to protect his region.

You miss the point that he was tacitly praising Igbos, openly admitting that as long as there is a level playing field they'd beat everybody!
As for coup, soooo Igbos staged a coup that did not include senior Igbo officers like Ironsi and Ojukwu, who were infact the ones who scuttled the coup.
Plus, the coup plotters Nzeogwu and Ademoyega (Igbos!) said the aim of the coup was to release Awo from jail and make him PM!

N171,000 is a lot of money, yet NOT a lot of money.
So first, what NOT to do. First, don't think you have a lot of money. You don't! Second, don't think you now have money to move to a better place, eat as you wish etc. Third, don't think you have money for any type of show off or neighbor competition and such. Fourth, don't think you can now consider certain jobs beneath you that you used to do. Fifth, don't get greedy or jump unto some get-rich-quick - you'd get scammed!
So basically, maintain your old lifestyle because you don't yet have money for any type of upgrade!

I'm confused. I was sincerely complimenting you. Why the insult?

HERE'S THE FULL STORY:

A newly wedded man, Ikechukwu Obiora, who allegedly strangled his wife, Ebere, to death in Ezi-Ogwugwu, Otolo Nnewi in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State has explained the reasons behind the act.

It was gathered that the tragic incident happened on March 2, 2023.

Obiora, who is in police custody, blamed the action on domestic violence after he was summoned by his in-laws who are still in shock over the unfortunate incident.

In his confessional statement, Obiora said, “I returned home in the morning of March 2, 2023, and was knocking at the gate, but my wife did not open immediately.

“In that anger, I started shouting at her. I first slapped and hit her from the gate to the house before angrily grabbing her on the neck and strangling her to death.

“I couldn’t believe what happened because I never expected that such actions would lead to her death.

“I eventually abandoned the corpse and left out of fear and confusion, after confiding in few persons who I sought advice on what to do.

“It was later in the evening that my mother reached out to my wife’s family members.”

It was gathered that the couple who got married last year August, were expecting their first baby before the incident.

According to The Nation, a source close to the family, said the couple had, unknown to the wife’s family, been enmeshed in periodic domestic violence and family issues.

The source said the deceased family, Nathaniel Uzuegbunam of Obiuno community in Otolo Nnewi had wondered why the culprit was not sighted throughout the entire incident, as well as why the mother had to break the sad news to them.

“At about 7pm on Thursday, March 2, 2023, the deceased family received a call from the husband’s mother, informing them that their daughter had just slumped and appeared to be dead.

“As soon as they made their way to their in-law’s residence at Ezi-Ogwugwu, they were informed that their daughter had been rushed to the Nnewi Diocesan Hospital at Akwudo.

“At the hospital, the doctor on duty informed them that their daughter was dead after examining her body.

The source further added that the deceased family members had to take the body to another hospital, St. Felix Okolo Hospital, Nnewi, where it was also confirmed dead by the doctor before it was eventually deposited at the morgue.

The State Police spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga could not confirm the incident when contacted but a senior police officer at the Command said the suspect would be charged after investigations were concluded.

Good one OP, and no click bait!

Ahmadu Bello chest-beating for Ibos - admitting openly that others can't compete.
Was he right or just paranoid? Are they indeed God's own people as they claim?

"Obsession about the Ibos"

So why is the common man doing everything to japa to places that don’t subsidise petrol price?

Why did the common man not japa enmasse before the 1980s, when subsidy was not an issue

The common man I mean can't japa. Far from it. He lives hand to mouth and can hardly afford 3 meals a day

Your gibberish is hardly worth a response. PO would have been the first time Nigerians chose their own leader instead of someone foisted upon them by the powers that be. Unfortunately it did not happen.
Anyway, the person below replied you well

MaxInDHouse:
The highlighted is the truth!

I'm not an Israelite so i have no business with the laws their God gave that nation, it's Jesus' teachings that is appealing to me and from what i can grasp with Jesus' teachings this world will become a Paradise.
So get it straight neither Jesus nor Moses is my relation but Moses and Jesus are from the same nation (Israel) that's why Jesus could say that he didn't come because of you and i rather he came mainly for the Israelites {Matthew 10:6; 15:24} it's his people (Israelites) who are expected to bring his message to you and i {Act 1:8 compare to Zechariah 8:23} but majority of his own people failed to do just that so the invitation to become frontiers of his message was passed onto people of other nations {John 1:11-12} yet it's only a limited number of people globally that were given that privilege not all people! Luke 12:32

Stop propagating what Jesus never said about himself. Jesus claimed he was SENT by the God of Abraham and that he has existed before the world was created but that doesn't mean he wants people to worship him as God rather he directed all his disciples to the God who sent him! John 20:17

That's why i keep emphasizing that Jesus is a messenger of God just like Moses as the Bible says!

See how you are twisting and turning to avoid what's starring you in the face. You give someone ALL the attributes of God yet twisting to say he is not for no other reason than that JW DOCTRINE SAYS SO!
You parrot the only response they taught you: MOSES WAS ALSO GOD! Mention one attribute of Moses possessed only by God, you can't!

Since you love chapter and verse quotations knock yourself out with the following:

Shalom.

Who are you referring to as Nigerians? Simply say you and your Igbo people.

Well, go and look at all the online polls. It wasn't close at all - and all educated, informed Nigerians are online
