chiefobdk2: I think he takes meth before coming online. Most of his ramblings are usually detached from reality, outerwordly, imaginary and laden with drug induced emotions. There are 100s of Igbo forums he can take his discussions to so he can learn but he chose Nairaland and doesn't even want to learn. 1 Like |

AlexBells: Your observations were wrong. Your friends choosing to go drinking with you instead of going swimming isn’t proof of your hypothesis and faulty conclusion. You’ve had the urge to learn swimming and very eager to become a good swimmer…you can’t just assume Igbos have phobia for water because your friends weren’t so keen at that very moment you wanted to go swimming…no sane adult who isn’t very comfortable in water would jump inside a swimming pool just like that. I have lots of friends who grew up around rivers and lakes and they are mostly good swimmers. People/locals tend to avoid lakes and rivers with dangerous animals living in them…eg, Agulu lake has crocodiles in them….you wouldn’t expect people risking their lives swimming in such body of water…but guess what, there are lots of Agulu people who expert swimmers, Nsugbe people are comfortable swimming same with every town with large expanse of water. I watched a documentary on tv about some riverline community ‘dipping’ their babies in the rivers/sea as a part of traditional induction. I’m not sure of any Igbo community that does that. I think swimming is best learnt as a child, if you miss such early orientation, it’d be hard to learn it as an adult when you have more challenges and responsibilities… except in your own case, you have the passion, access to a swimming and the means to pay for a swimming instructor. Do your research well, Igbo communities with lakes and rivers don’t have phobia for water as you claimed. |

Igboid:Don't mind the foolish op who thinks he can just wake up and credit Ndigbo with aquaphobia. I can't imagine a human being thinking of such for a people that are not even desert dwelling. It has never been written for any group of people to suffer aquaphobia anywhere on earth because it simply doesn't make sense. I knew he had an evil agenda immediately I saw the content of his thread. Apart from the mosquitoes infestation problem, another probable reason is due to the geography of the coastal area directly below Igboland. It's filled with marshes and poor in agricultural production. That place was only appealing to people who had no other better place to stay. You should study the diversity of that place, you'll see my reasons. It has a lot of different languages compared to Ibibio in the SE and Ijaws in the SW of Igboland. You can find Igboid, Ibibiod, edoid, Ijoid tribes including other smaller languages termed the central delta tribes. Of all the groups in the area of discussion, only Ndigbo stretch far into the hinterland. The only exception here are the Ogonis. This strongly suggest Ndigbo as not being bullies. We left others to occupy/share our shores with us. Below is a pix you can study for better understanding. 2 Likes

AlexBells:An ignorant dunce like you must desist from creating useless threads and attaching it to Ndigbo. I challenged you to bring out facts from reputable publications or journals to back up your claims but you're yet to do so. You don't put the cart before the horse. It is the other way round. If this thread was midwifed by a sincere ignorance, it still doesn't take away the insult it suggests towards Ndigbo. I believe it isn't the case here. The format of your questions clearly shows you've concluded on that fallacy already irrespective of it having no solid basis whatsoever. Until you can back up your claims with a reputable publication, stop the useless threads. |
