Overall, the writer was a big racist and did not have generally good impression of the black race, despite his picking and choosing whom to praise and whom to denigrate. 15 Likes |

BraniacX: He actually did have some good words for the Yoruba on page 93/94. But he made some distinction between coastal Yorubas (more barbarous) and the interior ones (less barbarous) on page 103 There is also a full chapter dedicated to Abeokuta, especially on the missionary work they were doing there. 6 Likes |

See what they said about the rest of the Niggers The rest of the "Guinea niggers," brought to our country, were principally the hateful Popoes, the shrewd but thievish Fantees, and others like them." The fantees (Fanti) are from Ghana, but they have ethnic relationship with one of the major ethnic groups of Nigeria. Which one? The one that starts with Y.

In America he was trusty, intelligent and industrious, but remarkable for an absolutely indomitable spirit, to which even the master must yield, when the Eboe was aroused, unless he should choose to shoot down the best slave on his plantation. Well! Well!! Well!!! Can anyone interprete what the bolded portion means: It means even if the Ibo man is angry, he must not be punished for it because he is the best you can get, unless you want to destroy your own house. This is a message for Nigeria 68 Likes 11 Shares |

The name of the book is: Central Africa: Adventures and Missionary Labors in Several Countries in the Interior of Africa, from 1849 to 1856, Thomas Jefferson Bowen, Southern Baptist Publication Society, 1857. The statement (in the book page in photo) is quoted below The "Eboe nigger," was from a fine open country, above the delta of the Niger, and not from the delta itself, as we have commonly supposed.* At home he was a noble, high-minded and half civilized man, who beautified his fine country with well cultivated farms and shady villages. In America he was trusty, intelligent and industrious, but remarkable for an absolutely indomitable spirit, to which even the master must yield, when the Eboe was aroused, unless he should choose to shoot down the best slave on his plantation. No wonder: for the Eboes in common with the Sudanese, have undergone a strong Caucasian innervation, which is evidenced by the fact that some of them are nearly white.

I guess it is too late to cry now Folks should only prepare for 2019. Buhari must not get another term. We can try another northerner (I do not care whether it is APC or PDP) to finish this 2-term northern hegemony. Otherwise, with Buhari you guys are in for a long (4 years), long (another 4 years) thing 2 Likes |

The composition and selection of the presidential entourage to the US by President Buhari was very poor and uninspiring. It is sad that Buhari did not consider it prudent to surround himself with capable technocrats during the visit. He went on this important visit with moribund governors who have nothing to offer at this crucial state visit. It is very disgusting, pathetic and embarrassing looking at these individuals in Washington DC. It was close to a national disgrace!

Politics / Bayo Badmus, a die-hard SW Buhari supporter makes U-turn by Ramnon2: 8:35pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
I WEEP FOR MY FATHERLAND! ---------------------------------------- Many of my friends and comrades with whom I tirelessly worked to elect President Muhammadu Buhari will condemn,castigate and pillory me for what I am about to write on Muhammadu Buhari, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. ------------------------------------ Please give it to me, I can take it. President Buhari declared in Washington,DC during a question and answer session that he would not treat the constituencies that gave him 97% of their votes the same way he would treat those ones that gave him 5% of their votes because, according to him, it would be unfair! I couldn't believe this was a man I spent my money and time to elect into office. ------------------------------------ It is a monumental betrayal of trust and confidence. This asinine declaration reflects the torrid state of mind and abject performance of our president. ---------------------------------------- First, it shows that our president is not lucid enough and mentally capable to steer the ship of the nation because he didn't understand the question that was asked of him. ------------------------------------- The president asked the program moderator the meaning and clarification of the question! Nevertheless, my president still humiliated the nation with his response. This was a colossal demonstration of poor performance. ------------------------------------------ Secondly, the response elucidates the thought process and the inner workings of the mind of the president, and it portrays him as a very regional and ethnocentric leader. This guy has just given the secessionists and agent provocateur a legitimate reasons for their agitation. --------------------------------------- He has also explained the reason and justified why over 90% of his recent appointments are of Hausa/Fulani stock. --------------------------------------- It is, therefore, excruciatingly painful for me to declare here without mincing words that, the man, Muhammadu Buhari, is certainly not the right man to take Nigeria to the promised land. All patriotic citizens and lovers of democracy should go back to the drawing board with the view to identifying the right man to lead the nation in 2019. Muhammadu Buhari is certainly a man of the last century and should be consigned to history. -------------------------------------- Frugality, prudent management of the treasury and war against corruption are certainly not all that it takes to create and birth a nation of our dream. The creation of a better Nigeria where every segment and constituent is treated equally and non-discriminatorily requires more than chicanery of war against corruption. I expect and desire a Leader who sees the whole nation as his constituency regardless of whether one state or the other voted for him or not. A leader and a president that actually does more for the states or regions that refuse to vote for him. ----------------------------------------- A president that works assiduously to turn a political enemy into a political friend and ally. Nigeria, as a whole,needs and deserves a leader and a president that emphasizes what unites us but undermines what divides us and acts and does everything to unite the country. ----------------------------------------- A president that treats an Igbo boy as well as he treats a Fulani boy. This is my hope and dream for my fatherland. 16 Likes 1 Share

In reality the human ritualism in Ogun feeds the huge Lagos market. Shame that some Nigerians still consume human flesh in this 21st century. Do you know what in part the agbo you drink is made of? 1 Like |
