bigpicture001:Yes Nigerians have suffered more than all those you mentioned with a greater level of poverty. Black Americans didn't get their freedom or rights through protest, they got it because someone somehere came along and said enough is enough, a president with a conscience! Legislators who saw the light! South Africans got their freedom through external help including massive suport from Nigeria, so the lamba you typed is still not applicable. Protests alone won't solve shin shin, in face of live bullets and real threats to lives. Funding and external help is much needed. The people that perished at the toll gate, what's their gain? It's easy to spew theoretical crap but reality is often too costly for most people! |

Chapter 2: The Name "Igbo" In Print Before 1800 — Oldendorp 1777 A German missionary sat with our people in the Caribbean 247 years ago. He asked them: "Who are you? What do you call God?" He wrote down their answers. In 1777, he printed the name "Ibo" and our words. This is what he recorded about us before any British district officer came to Igboland. Verse 1: The year was 1777. Oldendorp’s book came out 12 years before Equiano’s. That is 123 years before British rule started in 1900. Verse 2: He was a missionary in the Danish West Indies. He met Igbo men and women who were taken there. He asked them about home. Verse 3: He wrote "Ibo" in his book. That is how Europeans spelled Igbo then. So the name was already known in 1777. Verse 4: He recorded our word for God: "Tschuku". Say it out loud. Tschuku. Chukwu. Same God Equiano named in 1789. Two men, same truth. Verse 5: He wrote that Ibo people had chiefs and leaders at home. We were not scattered people with no order. Verse 6: He said Ibo were traders and farmers. We sold things. We grew yams. Markets and farms were already our life. Verse 7: He put our land near the Niger River. Open any map today. Igboland is still there. We did not move. Verse 8: He described Ibo captives as sharp and quick to learn. They picked up new languages fast. That was his word, not mine. Verse 9: He recorded that we believed in one High God and in spirits. That is still Igbo belief today. Nothing changed. Verse 10: He collected Ibo names. Each name had meaning. We were not people without identity. Verse 11: He wrote that we settled quarrels through elders. If you stole or broke marriage, the elders judged you. Verse 12: He listed our food: yam, corn, palm oil. Walk into any Igbo kitchen now. Same food is there. Verse 13: He saw that we wove cloth and worked iron. We had blacksmiths and weavers before factories came. Verse 14: He heard our songs and saw our music. We had culture. We had ceremony. Verse 15: He called Ibo a real language, on its own. Not a broken version of something else. A full language. Verse 16: The people he spoke to were in the Caribbean. But they still called themselves Ibo. The Middle Passage did not erase the name. Verse 17: Oldendorp was a church man. He wanted souls, not land. He had no reason to lie about Ibo law or Ibo words. Verse 18: So by 1777, Europe already had our name, our God, our laws in a book. This was 123 years before Lugard. Verse 19: Equiano 1789 told us about Igbo life from inside. Oldendorp 1777 told the world about Igbo from outside. Verse 20: Two books. Two dates. Both before 1800. Both say: Igbo people had a nation, a language, and law. Case closed. |

According to the task force, one online publication allege say soldiers wey dey Yashikara community abandon their duty post during attack and relocate go Chikanda to mount checkpoints for purpose of extorting motorists. The report also claim say troops no respond when attackers invade the Emir Palace for Yashikara. However, OPSS say the allegation no get any basis because the operation no even get troop deployment for Yashikara community. "For clarity, JTF OPSS no get any deployment for Yashikara. Our troops dey only for Forward Operating Base (FOB) Chikanda, where dem continue to carry out their duties professionally and diligently," the statement read. The task force further insist say its personnel never engage in any form of extortion and have maintained high standards of discipline while protecting lives and property within their area of operation.

The task force come urge media organisations and members of the public to always verify information through credible channels before publishing reports capable of misleading Nigerians and affecting the morale of troops on active duty.

Secretbloodline:  Height of delusion, you were asked a simple question: what the guy wrote is confusing, please explain it if you can. No one is asking you how coloured Louisiana Creoles came about or whether St Louis was white. We know (KNOW as in 100% certain) the answer to those. We are no longer discussing those. We are now transitioning to discussing ideas. In my endeavor to discuss ideas, I wanted to get your explanation of the guy's "spiritual bastards" thesis |

These guys are just recycling failures.. no understanding fully well that football is 50% luck. If u like be the best coach in d world if luck doesn't shine on you. Your team will even loose a penalty shootout. Multiple times ending up loosing a career defining match. They should stop sacking coaches anyhow. It breaks their confidence.. |

Murketeer:Canada is larger than Nigeria but what percentage of Canada is habitable? More than 70% of the country is inhabitable. Canada needs the man power to drive her economy but does not have the infrastructure and necessary investment to reach that height. The country’s already in a housing and unemployment crisis which citizens are already blaming on immigration. Canada was a choice destination before the mass immigration policy. The days when they could fully support and provide for the population they had. Now, the competition is scary! |

Onkoolos:For land in semi urban/rural areas, it's a game of chance. From my experience, you win some and lose some. Having the survey and deed of agreement isn't a perfect guarantee except if you're willing to process the C of O immediately. The good thing is that land is a good store of value. It will appreciate over time. Just be sure that there are no family issues and complete the legally recognised registration process promptly. |

QuinQ:You're useful because you keep this thread rising! Here's a picture of King Louis XIII my great great great great great great great great great grandfather. King Louis XIII he was the older brother of Gaston who inherited the title the Duke of Orleans whom New Orleans is named after. Great uncle Gaston was the grandfather of my uncle John Henri de France who immigrated to the English colony and fought under General Washington. All them were light tan skinned. Creoles are not Africans. We had nothing to do with Africans until we purchased them as slaves and used them to build New Orleans and the French Quarter. There was not enough people in Europe interested in being paid low wages as a laborer far away from Paris where life had modern convienances. This is why the Franks used slaves. But we set a record number of them free and had women as concubines but some became Christian and the Church deemed free, free to marry. We married Choctaw women too and had children with them. So Creole which means create became a mix of different sons from Franks in France. This is what we went by patriarchy, my forefathers and my family structure de France is patriotical my father was the heir and considered the king and heir to King Louis Augusta de France our great great great great great great grandfather. My father was dark skinned but he put the bloodline first after God. It was my father who told me that King Louis was light skinned and George Washington was light skinned. I meant light tan. You say Creoles are spiritually cursed, no we are the tribe of Benjamin and Judah. A core group of Creole men are J2 haplagroup and we are the original Franks who came from the Middle East. Tan skin we have always been tan skinned. The pictures prove it! Both French and Creole we look the same! Here look. King Louis XIV the son of King Louis XIII King Louis XIII The Countess of Lorraine. A Creole man. A Creole woman. We always were light skinned. And like the Choctaw lost their land stolen by the English we Creole loss France and our identity as Franks. Then you insult us with the Black Box. It was the White Supremacists who created the White Box and Black Box. The move of chess where the white always moves first started in England.
