Gajagojo: Go and read what a European said about Africans and their spirituality and religion. He said that without first destroying African spirituality, it would be impossible to colonize them. Guess who he was talking about? How can you colonize an ethnic group whose leaders are members of secret societies which used secret writing scripts like Nsibidi? Colonizing Igbo was impossible until your parts were first colonized, and subdued. The Europeans still haven't managed to subdue the Igbo till date. What do you think all the Igbo hate in Nigeria is about. Someone is somewhere teleguiding you hateful lots to hate people who don't want to be colonized and enslaved alongside you. The greatest reason for Igbo hate in Nigeria is because Igbos simply believe that they can become great like any European nation. It is the same reason that European enemies became friends just to subdue Biafra. Go and read mister man. Ain't gat time for illiterates. 6 Likes |

onumadu: Sharap. It is on record that it was only Ibo land that suffered famine, hunger , destitution and a general Hobbesian state of existence. Cannibalism and senseless ritual murders were rife so much so a European missionary teemed Ibo land "a land of Satan " and urged the British to colonise and sanitise the place. Ibo land was the worst place in Africa other than the Fulani ravaged north. E. There was nothing of value from iboland other than a steady stream of slaves for the Jewish Atlantic slave trade. Ibo land was so bad that Ibo slaves who regained their freedom never returned back to it. It is for this reason the false claims to Jewry are being advanced towards rebranding a backward race of people . 6 Likes 2 Shares |

RevDesm0ndJuju: And your proof is of course in your ass? Of course. How come Igboland sits on the best piece of real estate in West Africa: rich with oil and gas, fertile lands, with rivers and lakes and forests.. a land truly flowing with milk and honey? How come? Igboland has the best natural and human resources in West Africa. EOD. How come that happened? Above all, how come "you people" develop heart attack anytime Igbo seriously talk about seceding from Nigeria, ALONE? What are you afraid of? Shouldn't you be happy that "cursed people " are leaving you? lol Anyway, "you people" are HOPELESS, and because of you, Nigeria would never work. Your brother just stole the election with connivance of God knows whichever slave catchers, and you are here yapping rubbish. 3 Likes |

onumadu: Which oil? Which real estate ? The land that is red laterite that is prone to gully erosion ? Can anything grow on that your termite mound? The only reason powerful empires like the Bini or Igala never bothered to expand into your yeast was because they didn't see anything of value in your yeast outside a steady supply of slaves. 5 Likes 1 Share |

RevDesm0ndJuju: Who do you really expect to go down this "beaten dead" asinine hole again? I asked a simple question which none of you hateful COWARDS would ever be honest to self enough to answer: WHY DO YOU SHIT YOUR PANTS ANYTIME IGBOLAND WANTS TO SECEDE FROM YOUR ELDORADO? Why not support them to leave, since their land is cursed and barren? This is called cognitive dissonance: a form of minor mental illness. |

RevDesm0ndJuju: Since your IQ cannot reason beyond clothes and clothing, read below for your education. ------------------------------- The Dogon Tribe The Dogon Tribe has an incredibly advanced and accurate knowledge of astronomy and mathematics which they could not have discovered or developed by themselves. No one knows where the Dogon Tribe originated. Some have speculated that they were of Egyptian descent. Their traditions and folk ceremonies are aligned with the movements of an invisible and yet unknown star, Sirius B, which they knew travel around Sirius A every 50 years in an elliptical manner, something which was completely unknown to Western astronomers that time. Sirius A is a bright star which can be seen in the western sky through the naked eye, but not Sirius B, its invisible companion. The Dogon people knew that Sirius B was very small but very dense or heavy. Yet its existence was proven only in 1970 when it was photographed for the first time by Western astronomers. The Dogon tribe knew about the existence of this invisible star for thousands of years. They also knew that Saturn has four moons, and has rings or halos around it, although these cannot be seen without powerful telescopes.

Rossikk: Defining "one people" is like solving Limits in Calculus... you keep trying to get to zero but never reaching it. In my book, every human being one earth is one people. If not for Nigeria's hopeless dysfunction, I would be the last to support its disintegration. It is NOT about oil and gas. It is about making sense out of a nation. Facts remain that EVERYBODY from Eastern part of Nigeria is "Omo Ibo". Ibibio or Ejagham (that share Nsibidi script with Igbo) was not spared the fate of other Igbo during the pogroms in North and parts of the west. So, take it or leave it, we are one people in the East. Whether by "cultural diffusion" or cultural infusion. Same thing. |

Lmao... Dude there was only the Nri people, majority of people you call Igbos today where decscendants of Edo, Igala, Nri slaves and savages living in the thick forest. Only the Nri people were the civilized ones with a structure that could dominate and they actually had a semi system of domination and control in the coastal areas in that the Edos didn't control, some niger delta tribes were slaves of the Nri people. |

Rossikk:Ibos were individualistic in nature. They were large in numbers but a scattered tribe where each man was the king of his own homes. As a result, they could not build armies or empires to conquer others. This also made it easy for Benin and Ijaw tribes to own Ibo slaves. 1 Like |

OP it seems you love Igbos so much? Try get yourself one fine Igbo person and leave all these online talk. Life no suppose be about unnecessary tribal talks. Igbos, Hausas and Yoruba big boys/girls are flexing our national cake together, while the common man are just arguing and fighting themselves online. At the end of all these tribal talks, is there any cash rewards? |

onumadu: You cannot be ''one people'' with a people who speak a different language from you. That they speak a different LANGUAGE indicates that they are DIFFERENT from you. You cannot redefine ethnicity just because you are so desperate to control south-south resources in an Igbo dominated 'new country7'. Igbos didn't even regard themselves as ''one people'' in precolonial society, never mind including Calabar or Ijaw people. Every Igbo town or community regarded itself as an independent nation. If someone from an Igbo speaking town killed someone from a neighbouring town, the latter would send a request for the former to surrender one of their males (or a virgin) in compensation, with the new owners having the right to do as they wish with them, including execution. |
