PressMyButton as promised, here are the pictures of Igbo men rocking the ancient Igbo anklets that made you speak in tongues.

You know that poverty has tap root in Yorubaland. It has ancestors and kinsmen in Yorubaland to the extent that indigenous anklets prior to European contact looks like "American wonder" to you.

Ancient Igbo people never dressed as poor and wretched as Yorubas.

BKayy:
They say ordinary rocks look like diamonds to wretched people that have never seen jewellery
The history of Yoruba poverty is now telling on your comment.

My dear Afonja, those are anklets and believe it or not, they are Igbo owned. You know our accomplishments look so sophisticated that you savages devise various gossips to downgrade it in a bid to make it look as if both of us are on the same level of savagery.

There has never been anything you broke people came close to Igbo wealth.
If you can say such nonsense about our anklets, only God knows what you will say about these

BKayy:
LOL. No need to start lamenting. The reason why what is supposed to be your original ancestors pictures looks like mockery to you people is because you've lied so much about them that who they are is insulting to you.

You lied that they were literally wearing suits like the thread you people tried to claim British building as Alaafins Palace until we brought the picture you see in this thread.
The thread where you claimed the British styled building as Yoruba https://www.nairaland.com/6828741/throwback-photo-alaafin-oyo-diviner

As for civilisation. The only one of us that brought civilisation to each other was us Igbo(Awka) bringing technology (advanced metal smiting) to you Afonjas.
The receipt is below

As for leaving Nigeria. Both of us know that the only reason why you are against Biafra is that you know that your existence worth absolutely nothing without Ndigbo. Just like a Parasite, you Afonjas being in Nigeria is the greatest that will ever happen in your history. Enjoy it while it last

BKayy:
"Whenever an Afonja is cornered, he starts being reasonable"
But you can't deceive me. If I don't know you people, I would have said that you should spread what you just posted to your brothers so they will stop being ashamed of their ancestors, stop claiming what isn't theirs and learn to promote who they are.

I guess you are shocked as hell to see the pictures I dropped here because your media has so much lied to you that many of you don't even know what your ancestors looked like.

Let me tell you one thing, no matter how you project Igbo olden days picture, no matter how it looks like, none of us will be surprised or at worst think of denying them like you Afonjas are doing in this thread. We admire our ancestors ingenuity and originality.

For example, take a look at this beautiful Igbo mama rocking the original indigenous exclusive Igbo chair and our ancient anklets

Nothing wrong in wearing animal skin . At any rate animal skin cannot be every day dress .It s ceremonial and widespread among royalty in Africa all across the continent

Do not allow colonialism imbue you with false shame.

Photographs are photographs you are posting them and telling us what they mean. How can one deduce Fulani was clothing anyone from those photos?

The question is technology?

What weaving technology is used for asooke and where is that located?

Not projecting your own issues on to the innocent photo

BKayy:
And the Prince of Abeokuta was wearing animal skin when Fulani was clothing Ilorin Yorubas with Aso oke.
Do you know the problem with you people? Your media has lied so much to you people that you can no longer recognise your ancestors.
Just look at the other one above arguing whether the Ijebu people he is looking at is Ijebu or not.
Afonjas sef

BKayy:
I don't think you need to stretch this too far because it might prompt me to post the original pictures of how your monarchs (eg Prince Adeliayo of Abeokuta) dress before British social uplifting. Those are your people, stop denying them because of the way they dress. It your heritage, my dear Afonja.


This part is just pure jealousy. It is exactly like those that call tall people "dogo" or those that say "na fair you fair, you no fine"
No matter how dumb any animal is, it must recognise the angelic beauty of Igbo female goddesses. Even racists recognised Igbo women's extraordinary beauty during slave trade.

You know that because you tried to include what never happened to justify their intimidating beauty which is by adding a fallacy of imaginary rape and the other bullshit you wrote.
[b]Ok, if we are to play by that, why is it that your own Yoruba women were not raped? Is it because their outstanding ugliness couldn't allow a white rapist to rape them? Like their ugliness scare rapists away

aribisala0:
They could be , I don't know but they could..
Assuming without conceding the photo is real in the 19th century women across all West Africa often were seen with their breasts exposed.


The shame associated with that today is directly imported frrom Islam and Christianity. It is not indigenous and I do not share it.

If you consider our weather and historical context you would know.

After 4 centuries of slave trade across West Africa there were no textile mills anywhere. Textiles were made by a very expensive process and clothes as we know them today were not worn in the 19th century.
We were first given shame and then textiles which were a significant ite of slave trade/exchange

You assume the stools are "royal" . I don't know.

Assumiing that is the case . The sacrilege you cite is not one I recognize.
I do not see anything wrong with those pictures .They are an accurate reflection of that time.
when Brassieres did not exist in West Africa . Curiosity and not denial is the way to deal with that.

For me they are excellent photos of strong women with a regal beaing.

BKayy:
We are genetically flesh eaters according to you but in your own custom, that cannibalism is what differentiates that commoners from the Aristocrats. Your culture brought out a new dimension of meaning for Cannibalism.

As for your Aso oké, I don't need to speak much but show you pictures because I can't be teaching you people your history and customs for free everyday on this forum.

BKayy:
As expected of Afonjas at the emboldened, you have denied them immediately.
Those pictures are actually recent (colonial-wise) and are one of the fairest I can use so that some people can sleep without nightmares today.

My dear, in as much as you are an Afonja, there are things you don't need to deny/betray because you can't push it to another person. Just look at the women, their facial look and characteristic ugliness (if I may use the word) is typical of Afonjas

BKayy:
This speaks of how low you know Yoruba culture. I've already posted one of your pictures. You Yorubas don't actually have any indigenous cloth. What you call Aso Oké is Fulani material imposed on Ilorin Yorubas which later spread to encompass Oyo.

As for Cannibalism, you might need to explain what happened at Oyo during Endsars or the case of Owolabi, his mother and his girlfriends heart or that of your ancient Ogboni cult

BKayy:
Like the women below?

Lol, Afonjas have loud mouth until those with their receipts like me show up.
Bring it on if you have balls

ThEGodFaThEr902:
Mumu odę, as I'm speaking to you now, more of our Yoruba people are selling off their inherited properties to igbos right now while they sleep on the roof.

bomb24:
ode u don change mouth!

Kingnelson9:
The Igbos started spare parts business there so the deserve to control the area for life.
Remember that Lagos cannot be what it is today with the Igbos ,so drop your hate and appreciate their efforts so that it will reach you as well

OyeofIkoTuN:

NestOil.....I'm sure the igbo babaloja will gladly switch places with our brother Tunji. We give yorubas top refined top spots not nonsense title

GBOKASINCHA:

Tinubu-Ojo denies appointing rival leader in Ladipo market

GBOKASINCHA:
Afonjas sabi cry ehn abeg who be the babaloja of alaba international?

Naijabad:
Shut-up. You are inconsequential.

Support Biafra and they will leave you land in peace.

christistruth01:
Babaloja Papa Laagbeji is under the Babaloja of Ladipo

Urchman200:
i will be the last person to support intimidation on a anyone in the name of my tribe is superior than your own tribe, because i am vulnerable to injustice too,but to me the blame should be to the yuroba leader's who sold the land and collected money, i don't think igboman took that place by the use of force, so anger should be channelled to the right place, my opinion ooo.

christistruth01:
Monday is not the Babaloja of Ladipo his Position is different It is like an Assistant Babaloja

Monday is Babaloja Papa laagbeji Ladipo

Will the Igbos ever allow a Yoruba man head any market in the East?

Ladipo market now has little to no Yoruba businesses there because of Igbo traders flooding the entire place. The mechanics and all that are Yorubas have been sent packing and yet Tinubu-Ojo thinks this move is the best?

Well I'm not surprised.. when someone is handpicked to a position instead of years of experience, they'll end up making a mess of the place.

tommy589:
A market dominated by Igbos.Not a bad business and political move

PressMyButton:
It was an atmosphere of joy and celebration as the Baba Oja (market leader) of Ladipo Auto Spare Parts Market, Mushin, High Chief Monday Lawrence Obijiogu (JP) celebrated his birthday. The occasion was graced by friends, well-wishers and business associates.
Born in Mushin to Igbo parents from Mgbidi in the present Imo State of Nigeria, Obijiogu was made Baba Oja of Ladipo Market by the present Iyaloja of Nigeria, Chief (Mrs) Folashade Tinubu- Ojo, who saw him a bridge-builder and peacemaker, able to resolve conflicts between the Igbo and Yoruba in the market. This was attributed to his deep knowledge and eloquence in speaking both languages, which has been yielding countless positive results.
Obijiogu affirmed that he has been a politician and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), combining politics with the administration of the market. He revealed that though the tasks are challenging, he has been able to forge ahead, with the help of his supportive administrative team.
When asked if he had contested for any political post in the past or aspiring to do so in 2023, he said he aspired to be a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly in 2019, but was prevailed on by APC leaders to drop his ambition for the present member representing Mushin to complete his second tenure. As for the 2023 general elections, he said he would not contest.
On waste management and sanitation in the market, he said the management of the market takes hygiene seriously and ensures traders dispose of their waste weekly via the use of LAWMA and also clean the surrounding drainage pathways and gutters regularly.
Asked what he did that brought peace to the market as witnessed presently, he disclosed that as soon as he assumed office as the Baba Oja, he ensured all the criminals like cultists, fraudsters and other notorious elements were flushed from the market. He said some are even languishing in jail presently adding that the efforts brought peace, unity and dignity to Ladipo market.
Speaking on the areas he wanted the government’s intervention, he said the government should assist in the construction of three public toilets for the convenience of traders and customers. He also appealed to the state government to construct a pedestrian bridge at Toyota Bus Stop to address the incessant fatal accidents.
In the area of philanthropy, he said he had long established a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in honour of his father called Lawrence Obijiogu Foundation. Through the foundation, he said he had given scholarships to students and provided employment for many youths in Lagos and other parts of the country.
He added that he has also empowered youths with more than one hundred minibuses to make them gainfully employed.
[b]He applauded Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his relentless efforts aimed at improving the lives of Lagosians through providing basic social amenities.[b]
