I killed this Python in my street this morning after having swallowed a goat

This thing I'm looking at swallowed a goat? Fear God small na.

As far as legislation goes, Osu has been abolished, both by the Government and by the Nri who are viewed as custodians of traditional law and customs by a significant section of Igboland. That is as far as the formal system can go.

What is remaining is for people, individuals, to abandon their prejudices.

Klinee:
Oga shut up! I have mentioned it here in nairaland for us to be conscious aware of Igala indigenous people of Anambra, of which am one of them.
If you read the history of Anambra state it's well stated there, Anambra is not homogeneously Igbo, small portion of it is Igala.
Am a bloody Igala boy and a full blooded Anambrarian from NZAM, I be Onitsha boy too because that's where I was groomed.
I think I have several times in several occasions enlighten you and Juliusmalema about these but you guys do turned adamant.
We aren't foreigners in Anambra, neither are we migrants or slaves, We owned the land.
NZAM is just a few minutes drive from Onitsha, but because of river couple with bad road the journey may be delayed, I would have like you to visit NZAM.
NZAM is very nice town and peaceful.
There are many other towns that speak Igala here in Anambra about 16 towns

Name the 16 towns.

See d way RedboneSmith dey follow me dey attack me like say d way he take give e comment nor b dsame way meself take give my comments

To go abroad dey freak dem... Abi to talk to oyibo

I've lived abroad, son. I'll probably be going back by September, if this COVID crisis eases off by them. E no dey freak me. You think everybody you meet online has never left his village, like you? Broaden your mind, boy. Travel. It will do your mentality a lot of good.

Also you seem to have lost sight of the fact that my comment was addressing the suggestion by somebody here that they were not on their ancestral land and should pack and go back to Igala. I wasn't even talking of their ethnic identity beong recognised or not. Are Kogi people asking the bilingual communities to pack and go back to Enugu or Anambra or telling them that they are not on their land?

Igboid:
They are Igbo or bilingual in Igbo communities in Kogi too. Igala people don't recognize their Igbo identity.
Why should Igbos recognize Igala in Igboland?

Are you saying that what is good for the goose is not also good for the gander?
This was a thread we made about Igbo speaking communities in Igala. https://www.nairaland.com/3443446/igbo-speaking-communities-kogi-state/5

See how Igala and other Nigerians reacted to it.

Do those communities you speak of acknowledge that they are Igbos the way this people in Anambra acknowlege that they are Igala? That is where the difference is. Because before you can talk about Igala in Kogi acknowledging the Igboness of these communities that you speak of, they themselves have to become vocal about their own Igboness. So far, they have not. They answer Ogbuefi, they answer Obiora and Enweluzor, but they do not identify as Igbo. They identify as Igala, or just simply as Ibaji.

It is singularly instructive that it is Southeast Igbos making posts and telling us about these people, rather than the people themselves telling us.

When they begin to identify as Igbo, and the Igala people want to stifle their Igbo identity, I will also speak for them.

Juliusmalema:
There are no Igalas in Anambra state. If there exist any which I doubt they should quickly as possible organise themselves and move back to Kogi state...QED.

We don't need distraction in this 21st century.

There was no Anambra State or Nigeria when their ancestors migrated there, and the land they are on is their land. If your father's land is there, please tell us, otherwise asking them to go back to Kogi is very nonsensical. If you people don't want them, go to Abuja and demand that their land be carved out and carved into Kogi State, not asking them to leave their land.

This is interesting. You have a problem with people returning a 'Hello' from a white visitor on Nairaland. You think it's 'white worshipping' to return a hello. But you use the works of white scholars to learn your own history. You quote the works of white writers as authorities in your own history. You place their work above the work of your own local authorities like Egharevba. What kind of 'white worshipping' is worse than that?

When I told you your outburst that day stems from a deep complex and a feeling of smallness you're struggling with you thought I was playing.

gregyboy:
White worshiper go ahead and lick is ass

Unbittered blackman man....
See the way they are giving him prefencial care


They wanna hug the white many black monkeys



I hope the whites give you that preference as an african in all white forum

Awww. He's now usng racist expletives on his own people before the white 'racist' has a chance to use them.

Is this how you feel, boy? Do you wake up in the morning feeling like an ugly unintelligent knuckle-walking monkey? Is that really what you're angry about?

That must be it; that's the only reason why you'll see a white person and even before he has said one racist word to you, you already feel so small that you have to go on the defensive and spew racism yourself.

gregyboy:
Lol..... Yet, i didnt say you all have asked him the question i put up there......

Bro..... The truth is you are licking the whiteman ass i made my comment allow the whiteman defend himself blackman......

If he decides to zoom off because of my commitment so be it.... At least am not the white cop that point guns to every blacks and kneel at thier necks


Bro let my comment be...... You black slowpoke with inferiority complex if the white man decides to quit nl. Because of my comment then so be it
Stop defending the whiteman bro

A white man makes a post and people reply non-aggressively, and that is equal to licking his ass?

You have a complex. You don't see it yet, but maybe someday you will. Or not.

gregyboy:
See them worshiping the white man and defending him, bullshit let him defend himself

You all are mentally slaved.....


Mumu comments


What do you guys intend to ask him,

How is ireland, what thier cultural practice, how can i get to Ireland, i want to visit ireland

Blabla bla.....

And few years from now when you all succeeded in going to the Ireland you come back and start creating different threads again on how they are racial and hostile to blacks over there .......
Bla bla.....

Lol. No one has asked him anything yet about going to Ireland. In fact, nobody has asked him anything at all yet, and you're already this triggered and foaming in the mouth.

You're actually the one who is mentally enslaved here. Your unprovoked aggression is actually you trying to overcompensate for how little and worthless you really feel. Tuck in your inferiority complex, oga.

gregyboy:
Whiteman worshipers

Your unneccessary hostility towards a white person you don't even know stems from a deep-seated inferiority complex. Work on that.

I just thought I should tell you, since this comment seems to indicate that you consider people who don't carry around that hostility are "white worshippers".

That means no Nigerian aristocrat up to the early 1900s will be memorialised with a statue. All our historic figures until very recent times were tainted with slavery..

It's always surprising to me the number of educated Nigerians who do not understand what 'landlocked' means. That is why some semi-literate boys were insulting Edochie for saying Igboland is landlocked.

Having an inland river port does not mean you are not landlocked. If your ports do not lie directly on the Atlantic Ocean, if vessels have to meander up north through territories belonging to other people to get to your ports, my dear, you are landlocked!

The people whose territory ships have to sail through to get to your port can deny access to ships going to your ports (especially if there is no international treaty mandating that the river be kept open), and your inland river ports will become useless.

This is why people like Edochie have been calling for tact and diplomacy, so you don't end up alienating the people your economic well-being might end up being dependent upon.

How could Ajayi Crowther have founded Fouray Bay College when he himself was a student there?

How do they sleep

My guess is that they lie down.

Osaze007:
Onitsha is made up of three groups of people.

The first are the Edos.

The second are the Igalas. They were the people that were fishing by the Niger as of the time the Onitsha people came to settle there.

The third are the Igbos, who are very close to the Niger and had integrated with them. These three groups make up what is today known as "Onitsha". #HistoryVille

Looool. What is the connection between events in 16th century southern Nigeria and some obscure jihad in North Africa at that time? Which jihad was that sef?

And Onicha has nothing to do with Orisha, neither did Onicha people pass through Ile-Ife. This encrustation of oral tradition with elements that were not there a mere 50-60 years ago is annoying.

This is all a joke to you, isn't it?

UdechiHD:
The reason for his frustration is that his other moniker has been banned. Dude has nothing to offer and like a street goon, he has resulted to insults.
No need replying the clown.

He's a sad little man. And I'm finished with him.

YolobaMuslim:
Shut up! You are not from Anambra, you're a Yoruba from Oshogbo delving into Anambra matters.
Stupid troll.

I'm no longer from Imo. I'm now from Oshogbo.

Dumbfụck.

An Urhobo boy was here yesterday, questioning your heritage, you couldn't say pim because you lack the intelletual ability to do so. You looked on dumb as I fought your fight for you.

Olugo na insult, Ị mapụta, makana Ị nụlụ Awka-Orlu that every scholar, geographer and historian and student of demographics knows about. Anụmanụ na-amarọ ife.

JubrilBuhari:
Save face from a frustrated nairaland hungry 'geographer'?
You sounds so idiotic.

This thread was about Igbo-Ukwu, you lots from your forest in Imo state started with Igbo-ukwu not Nri and then the none existing Awka-Orlu cultural or whatever.


You need to see how idiotic you sounds.
Lol
I can bring a rubbish sketch to points Onitsha-Orlu, what do they share?
Nothing! That's my point!

I don't expect understating from a half educated hungry frustrated geographer like you idiot!

If for one this here you poured your frustration, and venom from your rotten teeth.

I actually enjoyed your wailings here, including tagging Yoruba.

I am not from Imo State, you low-IQ imbecílé.

JubrilBuhari:
All I am seeing here is a glaring symptom of a frustrated nairaland Awka-Orlu 'geographer'.

Someone please give food to this resident geographer before he commits suicide.

Lol. You're just trying to save face now with weak jabs, after being exposed for the uncomprehending simpleton that you are.

UdechiHD:
The moniker you're quoting is the same as Julius Malema aka Omonnakoda. The Yoruba dude is fascinated with Igbo culture and is always on Igbo threads.

I don't think so. Omonnakoda doesn't like Igbos, but he isn't stupid and uneducated. This guy here is borderline rétàrded.

From a well-known geography textbook by Reuben K Udo that most of us read in secondary school.

"Awka-Orlu uplands" highlighted in yellow.

But one JubrilBuhari wants to come on NL and show his whole ass and let everyone know he no go school.

From Britannica.com.


But the illiterate JubrilBuharis of this world will never know this because they're illiterate and don't read anything.

You picked the right moniker, buddy.

How in the JubrilBuhari rètárded Nairlander fụ́ck is the term 'Awka-Orlu' even going to fuel the Anambra vs Imo feud, you depressing mesh of dead brain cells?!

JubrilBuhari:
You sounds pathetic Mr man, your concept to this is to bring Awka to Orlu in your Imo vs Anambra rubbish and you failed woefully.

For goodness sake there is nothing like Awka-Orlu zone, the geographical space between Awka to Orlu is even more far than Orlu-Onitsha.

Go and sit down, keep bringing your kindergarten non existing theory to cyberspace.

See his head like Awka-Orlu zone.

Go and tell that to geographers, you illiterate unteachable bozo.

JubrilBuhari:
I doubt there is anything like this or even cultural relationship.
Seems like something you just formed off hand to bring two unrelated terms.
Awka is very far to Orlu and they don't even share boundaries.

Ihiala-Orlu could have make sense not Awake-Orlu. I also don't even think there was any point in time they even shared administrative blok.

I really do not have the strength to play this game that people who do nor read want to play anytime I make a post about something they don't know about but should know. Go and read.

I already said the term is purely geographical describing a highland that stretches from the Awka area down to the Orlu area. And you're talking about administrative units. Who is talking about administrative units?

I made up the term right? Look at this page from a well-regarded book on Igbo history and count how many times the author used the term 'Awka-Orlu uplands. This is just one page. The author used it over and over throughout the book. And other scholars make use of the term too.

Tomorrow I will write Nsukka-Okigwe cuesta and someone will come and tell me Nsukka and Okigwe were never in the same administrative unit and that I am making things up.

Read, mba. Understand geographical land formation, mba.

JubrilBuhari:
What do you mean by Awka-Orlu zone?
What's the relationship between Awka and Orlu?

Awka-Orlu uplands is a geographical term for the highland region that extends from the Awka area down to the Orlu area. South of this is the Owerri lowlands.

Keep deceiving yourself

You're not an archaeologist. You are not an anthropologist. You are not a historian.

Yet you lie down in your room and challenge the professional work of people who are actually trained in the fields, and who did thorough field work. I'm talking specifically of Thurstan Shaw now. At this point, anybody who is doubting the age of the Igbo-Ukwu bronzes, with no alternative, better scientifically-sound dating methodology is just a troll. Babatunde Lawal raised doubts about the dates in the 1970s, and Thurstan Shaw gave a resounding defence and even exposed Lawal's ignorance of archaeological methods in the process.

Those bronzes are over a thousand years old. Find some way to live with that, dear. That they look 'modern' to you is testament to the sophistication of the civilization that produced them, and not an indictment of the radiocarbon dates obtained from the sites.

I don't even know how you think that because no bronze works of equal sophistication was being made in that area in 1900s, therefore the original makers couldn't have been Igbo. No terracotta or brasswork was being made in Ife in 1900 that match the naturalism of the ancient Ife sculptures, but I do not see anyone suggesting the Yoruba couldn't have made the ancient works. The Italians of the Dark Ages weren't building aqueducts and sophisticated road networks like their ancestors were doing before the fall of the Roman Empire. I'm yet to see anyone suggest this means the Romans didn't built aqueducts.

Civilizations rise and fall. Igbo Ukwu declined sometime in the 15th century. The archaeological records suggest this.

And in case you didn't know this, the Igbo Ukwu art match the general culture of that area of Igboland. You can observe ichi marks on the faces of the Igbo Ukwu bronzes. You can see representations of the sacred python which was venerated in that area. The marks and motif on some of the ware are very similar to the marks made on ozo doors. Even the pottery are similar in style and execution to the pots made until recently in Awgu called pots of valour.

But you don't know any of this. You just lie in your room stewing in green jealousy because there is nothing as remarkable as these from your own group.
