Go and keep pumping your tithes to yorubas who will use it to buy data and curse your Igbo tribe on the internet.

I asked myself the same questions 2 years ago and I realized the yorubas are playing us for a fool. I dumped RCCG last 2 years December.

You attend yoruba churches because their pastors use motivational words to sweet talk you into parting with your money. Then they come online to abuse your tribe with the money you pumped to them. Who is fooling who?


Igbos are the largest christians in this country, yet how many Igbo pastors are highly ranked in yoruba churches.Are yorubas the only ones under anointing? Even in Igboland, they send their own yoruba pastors to come swindle you.
Why can't they convert their pro-fulani muslims first before coming down to Igboland to sell ice to eskimo.

Igbos and SS christians should learn to use their heads.

USE YOUR HEAD FOR ONCE. NDIGBO MURU NU ANYA.

1. It wasn't just a "few Yorubas" but that's besides the point; it directly opposes the narrative, which certain media outlets like to make, that the Yorubas had little to do with the Igbo persecution that was prevalent in the build up to war. Who's saying that what they did was worse than what the Northerners did? An evil deed is an evil deed, you don't need to start comparing your people's actions to that of others.

2. Awolowo went above and beyond what his job position required of him; the man wanted to stifle the Igbos in any way he could. His actions during and after the war attest to this. In what world is starving people to death the role of a commisioner of finance and vice chairman of the Federal Executive Council, which were his roles during the war? Pray tell...



Thank you for bring up the Holocaust as by doing this, you're acknowledging that what Gowon, Awolowo et al did was genocide. The Jews got closure and funding from Germany as well as their own country for their sufferings- are you suggesting that Nigeria does the same for Biafrans?

Also, Hitler and the Nazis are, rightly so, condemned in most parts of Germany. Can you say the same for Nigeria? Remember that you were trying to justify Awolowo's actions in the above paragraph before you answer this question.



Your point is heavily flawed; that they didn't kill Igbos en masse like the Hausa-Fulani does not free them from condemnation. Awolowo alone, a Yoruba man who is still held in reverence by 'common Yorubas' like yourself, single handedly killed more Igbos than those who died in the pogroms. Yoruba people don't get "so much more hate" compared to the Hausas- don't just use social media as a source. I don't know any Igbo person who hates Yoruba people more than Hausa-Fulani people; personally speaking, I regard you both as the same .



This isn't Igbo logic, this is your own made up logic. GEJ wasn't the brains behind the current recession going on in Nigeria, it was a culmination of events. Awolowo, however, was the mastermind behind the starvation policy of Biafran civilians and the £20 policy that cripples the Igbo middle and upper classes. We will never forget this, just like the Jews will never forget the Holocaust.

1. An evil deed is an evil deed, but it varies in intensity. Should someone who is caught stealing 200N worth of food for his family get the same treatment as someone stealing 500mil from the public office? Well in Nigeria that seems to be the case so I see your logic.

2. We're going back to this again are we? That Awolowo did horrible things to your people does not mean all Yorubas agreed with it.. or is that what you think? Like I said not all Germans were in favour the war so you can't hold them responsible for what a lone man did, and more importantly the Jews aren't rubbing it in either.

3. Where did I try to justify Awolowo's action? All I said was he was tasked with doing a job and he did it, just as Eichmann was tasked with finding a solution for the Jews (and boy did he find one) All I asked was for you to separate the tribe from the person. In fact Awolowo and Ojukwu have the blood of innocent people on their hands and ideally both should not be celebrated.

4. Going back to my initial question, Yoruba people get condemned left right and centre, whether they deserve it is a long story, but why are Hausa/fulanis left untouched, if evil is evil?

5. Finally, I don't expect any Igbo person to forget the civil war, in fact there should be a rememberance day so we all don't forget the mistakes we made in past.

Yyeske:
The OP is simply a bigot, what stops him from telling Igbos to establish their own churches afterall the Yoruba pastors never forced anybody into their churches.

These IPOB miscreants are causing more harm than good for their senseless and ever elusive Biafran cause.

Wouldn't blame those brainwashed kids anyway, same way kanu told them to disrupt Pastor Kumuyi of deeper life crusade two years ago in Aba and they did just because he's a Yoruba man.

Bunch of clowns, call me afonja, Hausa, efulefu.

Olabestonic001:
People hardly chose based on the foolery the op and his ilks are fanning; people chose what pays them! The Truth is because of the Igbo man natural love for money, he might find it difficult to survive in ministry. Ministry doesn't give steady source of income till its well grounded. Also, if folks thinks you're not serving their best interests (sometimes at your own peril), you'd do badly in ministry. That's where most Igbo's loose it; they are a very self-serving, ready-to-cheat-you, never-wanting-you-to-cheat-him set of people and might find it to do well in ministry.
Maybe Igbos needs to grow up and look within rather than blaming everyone whenever some things doesn't favor them!

Eshinwaju:
You are not well o....Awolowo was actually very generous to the ibos...

DrGoodman:
That is Catholic, we are talking Pentecostal here.

Balkan:
Do u know that all 9 members of RCCG governing council are Yorubas? Do u also know that no Igbo man is a Bishop in the Living Faith church( Winners Chapel)? No Igbo Man is also a superintendent at Deeper Life Bible Church? Do you also know that no Igbo man is also a senior Pastor @ Daystar Christian center? Neither any one @ Kingsway International Christian Center?
The Igbos should know that the Messiah will co.me from among its people. The disciples of Jesus Christ are Galileans like him, they should stop pumping money into other tribe projects and yet complain about Igbo marginalisation. We should start with what we can control. Go to any church but ensure that part of your tithe and other big donations go to Igbo churches because soon "it will be to your tents oh Israel"
Please send until it gets to all Igbo sons & daughters, because even in heaven, as on earth, there is hierarchy and little segregation.

When you realise how much money that leaves the east every Monday you will realise why Yorubas would not want you to get Biafra.

Have you ever seen a yoruba man read SUN news paper or champion news paper.

How many Yorubas would you find in a church where an Igbo man is the founder.

They hate you to the extent they will not let their houses to you unless there is no choice than to give you the house.

How many Yorubas bank with Fidelity bank or diamond bank.

Your real enemy is known to you yet you look the other way round.

How much have you donated to your home church? Igbo make use of your brain.

The mod will definitely throw this away because they would not want you to know the truth.

Afam4eva:
Actually, the difference is that there aren't really that much Yorubas in those churches you mentioned which re enforces one of his points that Yorubas don't attend other people's churches.

vpaymoney:
The most dumb post in the history of nl

Ikenna0b:
What the OP said is accurate and I'm glad more and more igbo are seeing it.

You all recall when am Igbo was the coach for the Nigerian football team. How many people remember how yoruba tried to destroy that man's reputation?

In church, someone name one igbo church that yoruba attend to. Just one igbo opened churches?
Hell even here l, majority if the Nigerian churches in my neighborhood is owned either by an Igbo or a minority. Literally only church was opened by a yoruba. Guess which one the yoruba in this area goes to? You guess it right...the yoruba one. If not the yoruba, they attend the one held by whites. I've never seen them try and partonize the non yoruba churches or even businesses.
The two African stores in my area is own by an Igbo and the other is a ghanaian. Guess whose store they go to the most? The Ghanaian one even though the igbo guy has more stuff than the Ghanaian.

kramer:
Goodness you keep regurgitating the same balderdash about Awolowo and I'm sorry I can't keep going round in circles with you. Please refer to my previous comments again. Meanwhile you are free to hold onto your grudge against Yorubas, fortunately for me it doesn't affect my sleep. Cheerio mate

Eshinwaju:
Try and employ your brains before spouting gibberish all over the internet. For heavens sake...the iboes lost the war and still got money given to them on the other hand Germany was defeated and had to pay....kappish.....olodos everywhere...

Ngozi123:
You're calling somone an olodo yet you struggle with reading comprehension? Okay...

Let me clarify it for you, that poster and I were talking about the Holocaust and the comparison between Igbo persecution before and during the Biafran war and Jewish persecution before and during the Second World War. Now, what has that got to do with what you just wrote up there?

Btw, Germany supported Israel out of their own volition, not because they had to. Israel wasn't even a country at the end of the war in a Europe for goodness' sake! There's so much ignorance in this post that if I were to dissect it thoroughly, it would probably take 2 full paragraphs.

Eshinwaju:
Your lack of comprehension is glaring to all but your ignorant sef.....Nigeria defeated the failed attempt at Biafra and still gave you money...tell me where that is done in this world and stop playing the ostrich.... ....still your people greed will not stop you claiming false persecution.....

codedslayer:
You kids have no shame. You are even accusing your fellow flat.head of being afonja, i really pity your kids. Pathetic

You are so funny and winning in the same fake stories your cohorts have been peddling for decades. Are you telling me that Awolowo went out of Gowon's government and punished Igbo? Are you telling me that even though Igbos that have already decided to leave Nigeria then will still be keeping their thousands of pounds in Nigeria. Be sensible for once bro! Awolowo did you people great favour by stopping the war and implemented Gowon's policy of giving your people money you didn't have with Nigeria Govt.

Mr man the marginalization u guys cry about is just a fragments ur ur imagination... Act right and people will treat u well... U spoke about a landlord not wanting to give his house to an Igbo Man... Most cases very true but I don't blame dem but the Igbos..when the come for ur house the come like doves but 6 months after getting the apartment they behave like lions.... Disregarding the landlord and causing havoc.... The yorubas are the most accommodating and I really respect them for that,but the Igbos will carry grudge for a thousand years.... See am tired of u people I swear.....u guys need to purge urselfs

ModsWillKillNL:
How will appointing Igbos to the governing councils of those churches help the Igbo members make heaven?

Is that what Jesus Christ said we should concern ourselves about?

Personally, I wont attend a church that has an Igbo founder.

But can Igbos say the same

Shows Igbos are inferior to Yorubas.

Nobody forced Igbos to attend 'Yoruba' churches.
