DomPerignon:
I created a thread here "Vintage pics from Alaigbo" and was accused of hate for posting the actual historic pics of Ibos who went about stark naked or barely clothed.

I was labelled anti Ibo for reminding them of their roots.

Kukutenla:
You mean this was Nigeria and Africa in 1960?
Clap for yourself
The stupidity looks good on you

opamoses1:
Deep in your heart you know the report is true, the more you try to defend it, the more you appear NOT to be the sharpest tool in the shed.

raumdeuter:
Bazooka

So as at 1960 some people were still running naked

Kukutenla:
Arghh
Did the article show you a picture of people in non-existent Abakaliki province before you believe?
Y'all looking like niggers from here

DomPerignon:
The New York Times article did not generalize but specified Abakileke Province as a nudist paradise.

Stop dragging us into another racist trope .

We know the New York Times report was accurate at the time of publishing.

Kukutenla:
Deep in your heart you know you're behaving like a house nigger. But you don't care since it sits well with your tribal bigotry.
Unfortunately for you, the topic says African Nudity not Abakaliki Nudity
This is unbelievable!! Africans turning on each other to defend to white man's insult.
I'm ashamed

Kukutenla:
Oga shut up
There's nothing like Abakaliki province
Is it the sun or you're really this daft
New York Times is insulting the whole of Africa based on an imaginary province and you're defending them?
This is madness

Igboland:
See mumu response Reno is talking about your wretched Igbo father roaming Abakaliki naked yet their offspring are lying shamelessly like fools that you built a Lagos that they were already were cloth.

Even you answer person wey no get intuition to put on cloth can such a fool dreaming of building a city thousands of miles away from his ? Won't you not build on clothing your unclothedness being thinking of building anywhere else.

opamoses1:
With the spike in micronationalism and minority rights agitation, that OGOJA province was split in 1959 ahead of Nigeria's attainment of independence, into the ABAKALIKI and OGOJA Provinces.

DomPerignon:
The New York Times piece clearly stated that in Abakileke Province which was located in the old eastern region, the colonial figures and local authority had placed an ultimatum that the natives most begin to put on clothes and not go stark naked on or before August 1st.

The article was specific about this nudist lifestyle being only in the then old eastern region and specifically mentioned Abakileke Province .

No where did the article say the whole of Nigeria or Africa rather the article even made the distinction that nudity was confined to the SE province of Abakileke.

Kukutenla:
You are daft sir.

Let us assume for a moment that the story is true. Does Abakaliki represent the whole of Africa in anyway? Not to even mention the fact that Abakaliki was not a province but a division under Ogoja province.
So you see that when you lack understanding and knowledge, the white man will lie to you?

Kukutenla:
This is a daft thing to say
The headline boldly reads African Nudity
Is it really hot over there

Kukutenla:
Oga shut up
There's nothing like Abakaliki province
Is it the sun or you're really this daft
New York Times is insulting the whole of Africa based on an imaginary province and you're defending them?
This is madness

DomPerignon:
Yes it does and who are we to blame?

Is Abakileke not in Africa ?

When they arrest any of your fellow tribesmen abroad for drugs do they not label them as "Nigerian drug traffickers"?

Shift!

DomPerignon:
You lie.

Another poster schooled you that Abakileke Province was later created from the Ogoja-Abakileke province following ethnic agitation .


Lol

Kukutenla:
But don't you see New York Times is lying or don't you think it is stupid of you to see a blatant lie and swallow it just because of bigotry.
Africans are becoming dumber with each generation

Kukutenla:
He's lying.
I already asked him to provide a link. I'm not an ignorant idiot like you to swallow white man's shite all because of bigotry.
Abakaliki was never a province. It was provincial headquarters.
See more links below even from Ebonyi state govt site

DomPerignon:
Fool, where in the article did they say the entire African continent went buttnaked ?

They said Abakileke Province natives refused to wear clothes and the authorities had passed laws mandated every native nudist to acquire and don clothes.

Your attempt at racist baiting has failed.

We will not buy into your useless racist baiting to dismiss the authoritative journalistic report of the editors at the New York Times.

Go pound sand.

cocolacec:
I hope Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu can read this story from the The New York Times, Especially the part which says, "In other provinces, the people have donned clothes". After reading this, would Mr Iwuanyanwu care to revisit his statement that Lagos was a swamp and was developed into what it is today by the Igbos?

For those who may want to argue, please read the story directly from the New York Times, on Monday, July 4, 1960, via this link https://www.nytimes.com/1960/07/04/archives/african-nudity-banned-nigerians-must-don-clothes-along-with.html

Reno is already suffering from dementia. How is donning clothes in the 60s related to developing swampy Lagos?

DomPerignon:
Lol.

You go explain tire.

Kukutenla:
Where's your link for this?

Benwallt:
How can you develop a far away land when you're still walking naked in your own region

Kukutenla:
You're still showing your daftness sir.
Anyone passing by will see the headline as African Nudity not Abakaliki Nudity. Not only that, the body is painting it that Africans don't know what is good for themselves until told by a white man even on the eve of independence. If that's not racist enough for you I don't think your brain can be fixed.

Kukutenla:
Well, I'm not explaining. I'm giving you hard evidences. You're the nitwit who is explaining with no evidence

DomPerignon:
There are tonnes of archivial photos of vintage Alaigbo attesting to this nudist lifestyle.

And what is my busines if they used "African Nudity" as a headline to their story?

Their audience is Americans who don't know where Abakileke is.

But the article clearly stated that this nudist lifestyle was limited to Abakileke and not to other regions or provinces.

Drag New York Times on their X handle and stop trying to get us involved in your latest racial baiting trope

DomPerignon:
Lol.

E pain am.

As at 1960, majority of people in Abakileke Province in the then eastern Nigeria went about fully naked


Cry harder.

Kukutenla:
What's my business with new York Times. I'm sure if this is brought to their attention, they'll be ashamed of it until they see idiotic Africans like you and they'll be like "oh well.... we've given stupid Africans something to tear at each other with. Thank God it's Africans we wrote this trash about and not Indians. We'll be toast by now"

You should be ashamed of yourself
