Kukutenla:
Go and read your link again. It claimed Abakaliki became a province then went about claiming it was a division.

Look here
The second is even from Ebonyi state govt website not some phony newspaper
https://www.ebonyistate.gov.ng/town.html

Even though it states clearly in the article, you are still arguing.

Benwallt:
By my last check, Lagos development predates 1960 Na.

Ibos only started migrating in large numbers to Lagos after the civil war.

Why e dey pain you ?

Stop grasping at straws in the New York Times article .

Tell us why this piece of news from 1960 dey pain you so much so that you dey deny say Abakileke was never a province.

Even dey it states clearly in the article. You are still arguing.

The article pain am wells

It exposes how backward they were as at 1960.

Reno really shut their mouths with that old New York Times dig from the past.

DomPerignon:
Can you tell us why this article dey pain you pass other Nigerians ?

E no pain me because I am not from Abakileke not from the old eastern region .

This article has the same effect on me as it will have on a Ghanian, Zambian or Kenyan.

But it pains you more because it hits right close to home.

So enough about whatever their headline captions was, why e dey pain you?

Can you honestly answer this because no one other than you is pained by this article from 1960.

It pains me because I'm ashamed to share same skin colour with bumbling idiots like you.
As at 1960, US was a deeply racist state. So that headline was obviously a racist headline and to see you fools masturbating over it in 2023 is beyond shameful. News items like this were used as propaganda to justify racial segregation that people like MLK fought against. So to see fools like you and Reno using it as instrument of bigotry is repulsive. Even Malcom X and MLK must be turning in their graves right now.
Darn foolish Africans!!

He is trying to divert attention from the fact that Ibos were stark naked as reported by the article. Whether ogoja province, whether Abakaliki province, what matters is the fact that Abakaliki is in Alaibo and they are ibos.

opamoses1:
Ibos only started migrating in large numbers to Lagos after the civil war.

You are very correct. Only God knows why they lie so much. Both old and young. I thought obedients delirium reside only with the youth over there. I don't know their elders have the same braggadocio madness

I know their way.
He even attempted guilt tripping us to see the article as racist towards Africans in general despite the article specifying that other provinces and regions went about fully dressed.

Sense is far from them.

Ekwueme once said some rubbish about ibos being the next most advanced race after the caucasian.

Azikiwe said God created the ibos to liberate Africa. These are not direct quotes, but if I have time, I would find the articles

They like to deceive themselves too much. How can you develop another man's land and watch yours rot away?

Reno!!!, how many times have i called you?, you do this one, see sweet history with receipt!

You just keep bringing baseless screenshot. Abakaliki was a provincial hq not a province. Oya mention the provinces that were created along with it in 1959

DomPerignon:
But you are not African nah.

No be sun burnt lost Jew you be?

Pathetic !

What nonsense are you saying?
Do you think if NYT sees igbos as Jews that headline will come out like that?

You're getting dafter per minute

The article strikes at the heart of fake Ibo revisionism on their nonexisting superiority and exposes the barbaric savage nature of original Alaigbo.

This is why you are angry.

Oh so it's whether or not Abakaliki is a province now.
You're really daft. That story is most certainly a lie or exaggeration but you're to bigoted to see

So there are people alive today that 60ys ago they went full naked.

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

Wike-d Reno.

1960 kwa?
Na the pics of 1921 wey me I see wey I dey surprise.
Na tori dem dey carry about when all SW don develop finish.
No wonder the jealousy against Yoruba.

So as of 1960 some people were still running naked

I remember during the first republic...Pa Awolowo visited Nnnnmyamiri land and region with lots of clothes and he distributed these clothes to them.by helicopters... He saw the people living naked...going to their farms naked....so, ..because most of their roads are not. motorable.....all these bastards Nnnmyamiri people who think they are somebody who are really local and brutish and beast in the first republic.....are forming indispensable in Lagos state and yet they refuse to. leave....
Ask any British citizen to relocate to Nigeria...they will. refuse but these Nnnnnmyamiri people said their region is a small London and Africa Dubai and yet they refuse to. return back to their Dunai in Anambra state...as we are speaking....Peter Obi has his permanent residence in Lagos State...
I dare him to go back to Anambra state where he served as governor for 8 years....

Ekpa Simeon boys have turned all. of them to refugees in their country.....mad people

That's a stupid question and irrelevant to this self-defacing thread

DomPerignon:

Damn!, you dey provoke my imagination. Imagine the old people in that state who is above 63yrs was once walking buttnaked 63yrs ago!. And they had to be ordered to put on clothes. I learnt in the SE region generally, many were still buttnaked as at 1920s but never knew there was still a shocker.

Kukutenla:

You can't be claiming champion of Africa and Africans while claiming to be Jews.

Choose one.

DomPerignon:

That's none of my business.
My bone of contention is that Reno is a fool to use a racist headline for tribal bashing. The headline was meant to spite ALL Africans including you and I and not only Igbos.
And you and your likes 're nincompoops to applaud Reno

DomPerignon:

You're not really smart.
To burst your silly bubble I'm not Igbo
But I have enough common sense and sense of history to know what purpose that headline was meant to achieve in US in those days.
Only fools like you and Reno are tone deaf and ignorantly flat- minded

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

You’re trying your best to claim the story is false. But if it is about other regions you will believe the story.

This table.

Same thing i just posted, i only read about 1920 ancestors being buttnaked, never knew they swing 'dem **** until 1960.

E surprise me. So as at 1960, flat headed developers where still waking nakked in their villages, no wonder their women are in hotels all over the world selling their worthless bodies

MEEVEET:
Is this supposed to be an insult to the igbos? Lmaooo

We are not ashamed of our past we used to be the Least educated and least exposed but see us today

Highest school completion rate
Produce most doctors
Most engineers
Most pharmaceutical experts
Highest HDI index

And many more all in less than 100 years after loosing everything in the war


We are igbos we are proud of who we are

And in contrast, those who are boasting of wearing clothes back then are going nakked now hunger is removing their clothes in their own regions
