Lol. This Ike is not as street as he's trying to sell to the housemates. I can see right through him. Yea, he may have done a couple of rough stuff, seen a couple of rough stuff, but he's just a semi-posh softie on the inside.

Don't buy his tough guy story one bit.

LMAO.

There's Egbeda in Ikwerre land too. Add am for your list.

YorubaMuslims:
Not true about the light skin.
You talk as if there are no light skin people in Nigeria,
There are some Igbo Nigerians that made there ancestry test and they are 100% African even though they are looking like the Europeans by skin.

I am lightskinned too, and I am not mixed with some Caucasian. I thought what I was saying about the woman in blue would be understood without me going into too much detail. She has a general mixed look about her that goes beyond skin tone.

prolog3111:
I am a slowpoke, fact.

Okay.

prolog3111:
And you know for sure that they didn't take a dna test ? Why do you guys alwaysvconfuse your assumptions with facts ?

You again. No African American is 100% anything. And that is a FACT.

thesicilian:
Even we are joining the foreigners to call them African Americans when we know fully well they are full fledged Nigerians.

Not a single person there is full-fledged anything. I can guarantee you that if they take DNA tests, the results will point to all over West Africa and Central Africa (with a heavy dose of Nigerian for some of them).

Also almost everyone of them will have some European ancestry as well. That light-skinned woman in blue looks like someone whose DNA result will say 30% European.

Probz:
Many confused Afro-Brits mimic more influential black cultures (aka Afro-American).

Yes, they do. I know about that. But I have never quite met any who speaks with an American-ish accent. When it comes to accent Black Brits tend to be more influenced by the Caribbean (Jamaica, particularly). Mike's accent just confuses me, walahi.

meobizy:
KimOprah.

She's my type!

Enyimbamercedes:
He doesn’t speak with a Mancunian accent yet he grew up in Manchester.

Oh so you spotted that too. Been confused by his accent since Sunday.

I'm not saying the accent is fake, but for someone that grew up in Manchester, the accent sound more American-ish to me than something from the UK. Just saying.

Please, what's the name of the chocolate-skinned girl in braids chatting with Jeff, Seyi and Ike?

Afam4eva:
South Africa never criminalized it in the first place.

It was a crime under the Apartheid government.

genius43:
There are 20 beds for 21 Housemates

Ehen. I for say.

Before I speak out of ignorance let me ask first: Are there not enough beds in the house for the housemates to sleep one person to one bed?

People are already sharing bed this early in the game?

Lot of good-looking girls (it could be the make-up though; we will know tomorrow).

Last year had cuter guys. I'm only seeing Mike. Seyi has this 'clean' look that a particular type may find appealing.

I'm probably alone on this, but I feel Frodd can't communicate. Boring too.

First African country?

Didn't South Africa decriminalise homosexual relations ages and ages ago.

I am no Afrocentrist. I cannot emphasize that enough. I am no Afrocentrist. That is the funniest tag anyone who has seen my arguments will put on me.

I have even gotten into fights with Afrocentrists on this forum over disagreements about such things as Ancient Egyptian history or the racial identity of Hannibal or Jesus.

The Greeks never colonized Yorubaland. There is no evidence pointing in that direction, period.

druxlazu:
You wouldn't believe why he made such a comment or theory. I am sorry to say that your attitude depicts one with selfishness and inferiority complex.

Man in his adventure to find his origin must be ready to work with things that would aid his findings to the absolute truth. Man cannot be independent of knowledge.


Imagine if you are an African and went to explore Rome in Italy and the natives living there were more like savages like Frobenius described Africans. If you were presented with the art thus found within Yorubaland, believe me, you will be ponder for more than you can imagine even though it was there ancestors that created that art.

i mean no offense Sir and disrespect. I created this post in an attempt to find truth and explanations as to how me and my people came to be who they are and why are things the way they are.

If you have any knowledge about my questions, answers and explanations are welcomed.

Inferiority complex? Lol.

It is not your fault sha. You people will always go and dig up old outdated research from a deeply racist past, and when someone points out to you that the work is old and outdated, and has since been debunked by historians who have more detailed data at their disposal, you come up with ridiculous accusations like 'inferiority complex' and 'ignorance'. Frobenius did his work in the early part of the 20th century. Since that time more up-to-date work has been done on the history of Yoruba art. If knowledge is what you seek, you should keep abreast with recent trends in African historiography.

Frobenius and a lot of researchers like him from that time always made the assumption that wherever in Africa they found evidence of high civilization, it must have come from outside Africa. They found that the Yoruba of Ife made highly naturalistic sculptures and they concluded they must have learnt from the Greeks (who also did naturalistic sculptures.) For some reason he thought the Greeks had the patent on naturalism, and no other people in the world could have made them independent of the Greeks. *eye roll*

Diffusionist nonsense. But of course, if you fancy nonsense, go ahead and knock yourself out. What's my business?

This is not 1912 anymore.

The study of African History has moved on from the racist diffusionist shịt of Frobenius and his colleagues.

goalernestman:
How come half of Nigeria was benin then and now Benin is just one single city. noting last forever i gusse

Stop posting this ridiculous shịt, kid.

Ilamina:
They invented so many things

Yet how come they are not one of the strongest countries in the world despite their early success

That's the way the world goes. With the exception of China, all the countries that were the seats of early sophisticated civilizations are not doing great today.

Lesson: Nothing lasts forever. One day the Western World might relinquish its position as the most advanced regiom of the planet to some other region. The countries of the Asia-Pacific are already giving the West a run for its money.

By this logic, people who read the Bible are all going to hell. Do you know the stats on killings, rape, incest recorded in the Bible?

Dude, you ended up saying nothing about what you set out to say.

NOETHNICITY:
White ass licking idiots like u alws thinking ur police is the worst in the world. And u re too uneducated to know that their own police got their own terrible sides.
Thousands of unresolved murder cases are blistering on the pages of the USA crime bulletins, two of which are the deaths of Tupac and biggie and hundreds of thousand.
But of course, intellectually lazy Nigerians will not know that

Bad as the US police departments are (and I agree they have their problems - corruption, systemic racism, etc) they are still lightyears ahead of the joke you have in this country. It is not asslicking; it is honesty.

NaijaRoyalty:
Damilola prayer don answr

Damilola was praying for an innocent woman to die?

Based on what criteria do you rate Ethiopia the greatest country in Africa?

If it's based on "never been colonized", Liberia will also be in the running.

Depending on what criterion you use it could also be Egypt or South Africa or Nigeria....

Amujale:
Ethiopia is where the Rasterfarian originates.

Because Haile Selassie (Ras Tafari) was Ethiopian doesn't mean the movement started in Ethiopia. Rastafarianism originated from Jamaica.

Take the job with the Federal University. But be ready to work for as much as three months if not more before your salary starts coming in.

OCHO (IGALA HUNTING) FESTIVAL, 2019
In the picture, from right: Onu from Idah, Agaba Idu XVII of Abi town, Enugu state, Igwe of Nsukka, Enugu state, at the Ocho festival in Idah yesterday.
Abbi, like Nsukka is an indigenous Igala town in Enugu state. Did you remember the Abbi and Owa-Abbi indigenous Igala communities in Delta ...They were from Abbi in Enugu state. Agaba Idu of Abbi, Enugu,

One mr ayegba a historian posted this live and direct

This happened yesterday and I got the report from someone who knows better than you bigots

We are preaching ones with our ancestry you are here am sure self you are not even a better igbo man

You don't know anything about igbos historical facts all that is sunk in your brain is biafra

The way we tell history in this part of the world is very worrisome. Nsukka is not an indigenous Igala town. There is nothing like that in Nsukka oral traditions. That is the fabrication of overzealous megalomaniac armchair historians. At some point in history, Nsukka fell within the sphere of influence of the Igala kingdom, but before that it was and had always been an indigenous Igbo community.

Can she legally have a comedian put in prison for making jokes about her though?

She has a vaguely middle-eastern look.

What's her last name?
