I love the way you weave historical and current facts with a very intelligent writing skill to bare the truth.

God bless you.

No one hates the Igbos. We just won't standby and watch the children of greedy igbo fathers of the past entrench the now institutionalized lies they keep spreading.

You are also correct. A lot of Igbos self-destruct on greed.

Throwback:


Even Dike could not understand why he had to be called back from an unfinished Sabbatical in the USA to come become Vice Principal under the soon departing British Principal.

He was apprehensive to accept the position he damn well knew he was the most senior and most qualified Igbo, but not the most senior or most qualified Nigerian.

Just as the Igbos would have cried fowl if Brigadier Maimalari was appointed as first Nigerian Major General, ahead of Aguiyi Ironsi the most senior, or Ademulegun and Ogundipe who were the next ranking of all the 4 Brigadiers that were in contention for the promoting to Major General.

It is for such slight that a more senior Ojukwu, rejected the authority of a subordinate Gowon.

Yet our Igbo debater believes merit is only said to have been adhered to when an Igbo is appointed out of the blues ahead of his superiors. He is even trying to cast aspersions as to the academic credentials of the first African Professor in a globally multiracial environment in a then British run university. Oladele Ajose broke the glass ceiling for others to follow.

Merit = Igbo

Unfortunately, it was Igbos that self destruct and truncated the Igbo domination by nepotism agenda, out of excessive greed to have it all.

Why do you think your elders called you lazy thinkers?

No mature commenter will descend so low with you to start sizing individuals.

It is inferior beings like you that always tries to measure your tiny dicks with others.

Hehehe, If I ask you to teach me something to claim to know and you are telling me you know it but can't teach it. Bros, you are just deceiving yourself. You do not know it. Why did he mentioned some names if he does not want to stoop low . And ran away after daring him to let us create thread on that . You people are too lazy in thinking just exactly as nwosu said it. The man is very right about his observation. He's igbo, so he knows his people. Oga, park to one side jor, no time for lazy thinker like you.

Are you surprised? Do you think they were called lazy thinkers for no reason?

You have only been presenting your position with rants out of the hole in your black behind.

What would you Igbos be today without Samuel Ajayi Crowther who went on an expedition to bring your people out of darkness?

He gave the Igbos the lexicon, alphabets and writing system of their language, publishing a Primer and giving the light to education to your people.

If not you will still all be gathering to wrestle in the village square hiding behind raffia-clad huts at the sight of civilised people

Oyo Empire
The Oyo Empire was a Yoruba empire
of what is today Western and North
central Nigeria. Established in the
15th century, the Oyo Empire grew to
become one of the largest West
African states. It rose through the
outstanding organizational and
administrative skills of the Yoruba
people, wealth gained from trade and
its powerful cavalry. The Oyo Empire
was the most politically important
state in the region from the mid-17th
to the late 18th century,

We all know the motive behind the new tribal laws in Lagos differs from that of southeast States. If it was Ogun, Oyo, ondo, osun, ekiti that passed those laws, nobody would mind. But of course, you are scared to your pants that igbos are taking over your lands.... Insecure losers.

keep crying I like it Lagos Ogun oyo osun ondo ekiti are all sw state with the same ability as their counterpart se state to pass their own laws. Why did se states pass their own tribal law? who is taking over ibo land and making ibo insecure losers.

Akintola's role in bringing their nepotism and tribalism to the spotlight, should not be easily forgotten. He was the one who screamed loud about their recruitment exercise in University of Ibadan.

Of course, Akintola was a tribalist for calling out the Igbos on their greed. Just like Awolowo who became a tribalist for daring to become Premier of his own region when an Azikiwe should have been crowned as Western Premier because it was the Igbo birthright.

I will keep flogging them with their dubious and ignoble double-faced past.

You claim Dike wrote Yoruba history?

Hahahahahaha!

Do you know who wrote the very first published work in Nigeria?
Rev Samuel Johnson, 1846 - 1901

Do you know what the topic was about?
A History of the Yorubas from the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the British Protectorate.

The historical work was started in 1881 and completed in 1897, unfortunately the publisher in Britain claimed to have misplaced the original manuscript so it wasn't published before 1900 when the Igbos were still bushmen. It was later repackaged by his brother, Obadiah Johnson, and finally published in 1921.

Even at that time, Dike's ancestor were still fighting village wrestling with naked women dancing to the delight of the villagers.

ofai:


I honestly didn't mean what you are insinuating as regards the small letter casing I gave to ajose. My conscience is clear.

But who is ajose? How noteworthy were his research compared to dike's research in African history?

History will be kind to dike for proving his mettle as a distinguished historian and pioneer of contemporary African history, something the whites couldn't lay claim to.

Africa needed a historian that would the narrative of sfrican history. All the world know about Africans then were jungles, slavery, colonialism. Dike's scientific research debunked all that.

You yorubas and your sense of entitlement is your Achilles heel.

an Igbo man talking of Achilles heel...bonkers.

Throwback:


Was Dike more pioneering that Oladele Ajose, a medical doctor and most senior African on the academic board of University College Ibadan?

Was Dike more senior to Oladele Ajose who was the first tenured Nigerian professor in history?

Is it false tale that Dike was called back from sabbatical in the USA to take the position of Vice Principal. While a more qualified Oladele Ajose was right there in Ibadan on the campus?

You cannot erase the facts, and even Dike was apprehensive to accept the position that was being forced on him.

I repeat merit to the Igbos is Igbos first, others follow.

IGBO - I Go Before Others.

Professor Kenneth Dike earned the VCship of UI fair and square.

Stop all these tales by moonlight and accept that were it not for the purge orchestrated by Hausa-Fulani oligarchy and aided by their puny Yoruba collaborators, Igbos had Nigeria in their palms...

Yes you had Nigeria in your palms by your crafty nepotism and tribalism as very evident in the appointment of Dike in Ibadan, and his own subsequent recruitment exercise that employed only 3 Yorubas out of 115, with the bulk of the rest going to the Igbos.

You had Nigeria in your palms, but your excessive greed would not let you enjoy what you had in peace. You just had to overreach yourselves until you were brutally cut down to what you have become now.

And wherever you were not allowed to dominate, the obstacle became your enemy who was then termed a tribalist, a la Awolowo and Amadu Bello.

This slowpoke had to regurgitate old reports from 1921, cannibalism existed in many civilizations from time immemorial and even in modern history, it was practiced in every culture. But why waste my time educating an irreducible dunce like you. Meanwhile as I type this now another skull mining spree is taking place in Ogun state, soon to hit the frontpage on all dailies , seems the new hustle in Yorubaland is skull mining... dem suppose open headquarters for research into the messed minds of yorubas in the SW region.

If Igbos could come to your land and still outdo you in the game of tribalism and nepotism as you blatantly claim on the basis of the appointment of a preponderance of the Igbo academia in all your regional institutions... Then it could only mean one of two possibilities, either the Igbos were simply qualified because they earned it through merit, classic elitism, and hardowork... or the Yorubas were simply too stupid to allow "strangers" from a different region come to thier own turf and edge them out.

If only you can do without hiding behind a Hausa-Fulani overlord!

The Igbos are not your problems my guy... Emancipation from the self-imposed servitude to your revered imperialists will do wonders to liberate the Yorubas.

The Yoruba cosmology/cosmogony is steeped in abject antithesis/paradox. A people that claim to be enlightened pay obeisance and give slavish deference to one of the most rustic people on the planet. How sad...

And when Awolowo dared to chart a political direction for the Yorubas and also become Premier of the Western Region he was a native of ahead of Azikiwe the "stranger", he was labelled a tribalist by Igbos.

When Amadu Bello devised the Northernization policy for the benefit of his own Northern citizens who had started enrolling in universities and would require job, he was branded a vile tribalist by the same Igbos who would later gloat that others were simply too stupid to allow "strangers" from a different region come to their own turf and edge them out.

So you can now see the problem with the ambivalent Igbos. In one breath they claim they dominate, in another breath they claim they are marginalized because others refuse to surrender their own inheritance for the benefit of Igbos who steadfastly hold on to their own.

The same Igbos who wanted an indivisible country they had hoped they would dominate, were the ones to cry for secession when their domination agenda was thwarted.
The same Igbos who wanted a unitary government when they were the head of the military regime, decried same unitary government the instant they lost the military control.

That is why I am never moved by their crocodile tears.

Seriously you lack comprehension. My point is WHAT TOOLS AND PARAMETERS were used in carrying out a modern era historical research? I was not referring to storytelling.

What modern instruments was used in researching African history?

Who made a case for oral history? Who justified its validity in research methods?

Are Yoruba communities not present or affiliated to southern city States and empires like Benin and southern Niger delta?
