Eriokanmi:So you think that when deals are reached, you should start seeing results straight away, and it will be in the news and on nairaland and on your doorstep? Do you know that for major projects, preliminary work can take up to two years before actual construction starts? Naive, simple-minded man with a big mouth. |
MrEverest:So why do you cannibals have to flee Igboland to survive? The other day when Arewa Youths gave Igbos a one week ultimatum to depart the North, your Ohaneze went on all fours to beg them for mercy! OHANEZE PLEADS FOR MERCY: https://www.nairaland.com/3938687/ohanaeze-youth-council-begging-arena Because you are LEECHES and PARASITES who would perish without your hosts! THEY CLEARLY DON'T NEED YOU THERE, WHICH WAS WHY YOU GOT AN ULTIMATUM TO LEAVE. YOU BEGGED FOR MERCY BECAUSE YOU KNEW YOU WOULD STARVE WITHOUT THE NORTH. DEPENDENT BEGGARS FEELING FUNKY. |
MrEverest:Shut your dirty trap. What makes Obi ''honest''? A thief that used state resources to build a beer factory for his family? A thief who was appointed by Gen Sani Abacha, a corrupt dictator? A thief who spent 8 years as governor without building a single school? A thief who is worth millions of dollars with no known source of income? A thief who, despite being a multimillionaire in dollars, built an embarrassing toy caricature in the name of a borehole for an entire community of thousands? GTFOH. |
UncleAyo:''The name Abia has multiple origins and meanings depending on the cultural and geographic context. 1. Hebrew origin: In Hebrew, Abia (אֲבִיָּה) is a variant of the name Abijah, which means "my father is Yahweh" or "Yahweh is my father."... 2. Nigerian Igbo origin: In the Igbo culture of Nigeria, Abia is a unisex name that means "Great One" or "God is great."'' https://en.nomorigine.com/origin-of-firstname/abia/ |
MrEverest:Worthless imbec.ile dependent on the goodwill of Nigerians to feed yourselves. Without Nigerians you would starve in your millions. The north were very prosperous before you Ibos went there.. They were traders before your naked forbears knew what trading meant. They were prosperous and had writing and architecture when your people were cannibalising each other in the bush before colonial rule. Jumping around in the bush, drinking palmwine from human heads, and selling yourselves into slavery via the Aros. So if they drive you back to the East today, you would STARVE en masse and return to cannibalism, your usual fallback. Worthless dependent wretch with an attitude. |
MrEverest:Please take your animal traitor IPOB terrorist self and get out of Nigeria and go clean white peoples' nyash if that is what is pressing you. Talking as if Nigeria is the only developing country on Earth. Your mother is dying of hunger, you stupid animal. Insolent little maggot you. I've lived overseas and encountered people from Somalia, South Sudan, Eritrea, and Afghanistan. YOU cannot survive one week in Somalia, South Sudan, Eritrea or Afghanistan. Yet they don't have the hatred for their country that you IPOB demons have for Nigeria. The same Nigeria that has allowed TENS OF MILLIONS OF YOU IGBOS to settle outside your homeland, prosper and thrive to build multiple mansions in all your villages. Yet all you have is hatred for Nigeria. YOU ARE SICK, DEMENTED PEOPLE. Just PRAY that Nigerians don't wake up one day and drive all 30 million of you BACK to your little HOLE IN A CIRCLE, because it would be the world's greatest ever humanitarian disaster. Worthless reprobates. |
baretalk:We need a programme of national re-orientation. We also need a committee of experts to help rejuvenate our TRADITIONAL RELIGION. Update and upgrade it, and build a National Temple in Abuja for it. How the so-called Giant of AfrIca can have a National Cathedral (for imported religion), and a National Mosque (for imported religion) but no National Temple for traditional NIGERIAN religion is an absolute DISGRACE. |
BigkokoRep:He is wrong. That is an over-generalization. There are numerous rich white women in relationships with black men in the USA. |
MrEverest:ABEG SHUT UP WITH THAT IPOB NONSENSE. THE SO CALLED KANO, is it people from Kano that are selling their business and fleeing the country to go and work as security guards in Europe? No. It is Southerners, so don't mention KANO. Your idiocy has nothing to do with Kano or Tinubu. Your ignorant tribalism makes you hate Tinubu, with your HYPOCRITICAL ''drug lord'' rubbish coming from the ethnicity known worldwide for drug trafficking - YOURS. And you have ZERO EVIDENCE that Tinubu ''blatantly rigged the election'', so shut the fck up. And you can GTFOH with your tribalism and hypocrisy. |
zhike:THEY ARE 1,000000000000% CORRECT. I don't know the juju the British colonialists did to Nigerians. It's like they cast a spell on them to always regard whites as their superiors. Even here on Nairaland, when a Nigerian marries a white woman, the mods make it front page and you will find Nigerians congratulating him and praising him etc. It's shameful and tragic. Nigeria is the only country where you will see a well paid banker or company owner with houses and cars selling of all his property to emigrate to the UK to work as a security guard or care assistant. It's just baffling. Other immigrants to the west etc go there either for university education or because they have nothing doing back home in terms of work and income. |
This Igbo-Hebrew link is starting to have a lot of credibility. |
1 Chronicles 3:10 King James Bible ''And Solomon's son was Rehoboam, Abia his son, Asa his son...'' |
Ken4Christ:HOW THE HELL is anybody supposed to KNOW how the world began? Get this: The ONLY person who knows for certain how the world began is the CREATOR HIMSELF. No other person knows. All that humans can do is speculate. The bible Creation story is just one out of thousands of Creation stories from around the world. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to claim it is the 'TRUE' story. For starters it says the Earth and everything on it was made in a 7 day period. Does that sound reasonable to you? And then some Christians to cover their embarrassment claimed the 7 days doesn't actually MEAN 7 days. But they never actually say what it means! Is it 7 years? 7 months?, 7,000 years?, 700 years?, 7 million years? ![]() So all we have are Creation myths or legends. For instance, ''The Wassa people of Ghana have a myth of creation that traces creation back to Onyankopon - the great God of fullness and satisfaction who, before creation, was the only being in existence. He created the world to become a companion to him, a wife. Added to the world which he created were also spirits who would also keep him company. He ensured that the world was beautiful and he asked the spirits to visit his wife from time to time. They will make their journey to the world using a long chain that springs from his throne. He also gave the spirits permission to inhabit realities that are on the earth. Their major responsibility was to run errands for him.'' ajol-file-journals_415_articles_217834_submission_proof_217834-4945-535653-1-10-20211123.pdf This is as much a valid Creation story as anything you've read in that bible. Then we have the Akan Creation story: ''Among the Akan, God created the world in the order of the heavenly universe, the earth, rivers, waters, plants, animals, man. The order that we find in creation affirms that man is at the center of the African universe, because we see that God creates every other thing in preparation for man’s wellbeing in the world.'' ajol-file-journals_415_articles_217834_submission_proof_217834-4945-535653-1-10-20211123.pdf So UNLESS God Himself comes down to Earth and explains how he created the world, all we can do is speculate. And there is nothing wrong with that. If God wanted us to know, he would have made the story clear to EVERYONE, and not just Romans. Back up your claim that the original Bible is different from what we have. You should have a copy of the original and let's compare.There is no ''original Bible''! There are original Hebrew texts from which the bible was compiled. It's like there were (and still are) around a thousand different Hebrew scrolls, including some called the Nag Hammadi scrolls, and some Roman elite under the auspices of Emperor Constantine selected like 300 of them and put their contents into a book they named 'the bible', and called it ''the Word of God''! That's all that happened! The Romans claimed they were ''inspired by God'' to select which texts to include in their book, and which to exclude. I mean, come on! If you study the excluded texts, you can clearly see that they challenged the conventional narrative of the present bible, and showed the whites as oppressors whose time for justice would soon come. Of course that was the last thing they wanted in the bible, so no inclusion of those texts! Some excluded Hebrew texts even present Yahweh as a deranged entity that needs caging, and that the being called 'Satan' is actually the entity who did the right things for humans by trying to let them become intelligent and civilised, while Yahweh wanted to keep them down, ignorant, subservient and oppressed! For me, knowing how devious these white people can be, those excluded texts are probably closer to the TRUTH than the included ones. Also tell me what your traditionalist predicted about future events. And how many of their predictions has come to pass?Mr Man, if you want to know about future events, your best bet is to visit your village's most respected traditional priest. He will perform a divination session and tell you what he sees. |
Sladem05:YOU ARE A MAD MAN. YOU ARE SICK UPSTAIRS. DO THOSE PEOPLE LOOK LIKE ''BERBERS' TO YOU? WHERE ARE THE IMAGES OF YOUR ''BERBERS''? If you go on Google Images and type in 'Moorish crests and emblems', HERE is the result you get: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=114751fe4ad266cf&sxsrf=ACQVn08vbtAwkJ7dKkM_98vBCNZ9LIr4TQ:1714349137986&q=moorish+crests+and+emblems&uds=AMwkrPuZEEYOQGvdGWHwKmSXATPGIf252DPmubvo9PD86WK8wYMBgWkjY6XBToUqm5q4-lGzfQccxY9Tv51YgGhC2_tGLPeldd3JIoN2D8XiExds1G2u-tiF7YnnLM4qPHvjSmvJKn-HyMNVWFmPN4Up7GcG7IOeOSY_3y7r12iV8xobhpSgD0wLUJBx7IpvNicRcCtBIuGiFyfXIw1bZDdq8h98U0vPC71UYfrAJziBLhfHI4e7MXhjqNloMWvWrtAXoejFNP-9W1nc-x-4ANtydZaXizwofVnNbrfyFJNeC8ozaadoIyzzMeIC3kqef1F82saru5oP&udm=2&prmd=ivnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjexY-bkOaFAxUGUEEAHRHYCXkQtKgLegQIChAB&biw=2048&bih=1035&dpr=1 DO YOU SEE ANY ''BERBERS'' OR ARABS THERE? NO NORMAL PERSON LOOKS AT CLEAR IMAGES OF BLACK PEOPLE AND SAYS THEY ARE NOT BLACK. SO YOU ARE A SICK PERSON. GO AND GET TREATMENT. |
babasolution:YOU ARE A LIAR FROM HELL. https://althistory.fandom.com/wiki/Benin_Imperial_Army_(Principia_Moderni_IV_Map_Game) Benin conquered most territories BEFORE it encountered the Portuguese, NOT after. The Portuguese only got there around 1500, over 400 years after the Benin empire was established! So how the hell did Portuguese weapons account for most of Benin's wars? Are you even aware that the Benin Empire manufactured guns? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Benin And no. Oba Esigie NEVER converted to christianity! That's a pure lie! The black men the whites used to prosecute their wars were hired, this happened prior to any British invasions of any of today's Nigerian tribes.THAT'S A PURE LIE. Troops of the colonial armies were recruited from already conquered territories. The Aro confederacy in Igbo land, were an entity that particularly enslaved their fellow igbos for money, it was the British that destroyed their grip on the igbos freeing the igbos from the aro tyranny.You take a bit of bad news from the past as your evidence that ''there's no proof Africa would have been better off without colonialism'', which just shows your inferiority complex. But there are NUMEROUS examples of African capacity and ingenuity that prove that Africa WOULD have been been off without colonialism. You just choose to ignore them while focusing on the negative, as if negative things only happened in Africa! This is a VILLAGE far outside Benin city. It was drawn by British visitor, Mary Evans in 1836. This was a full 61 years before the British invasion of the Benin kingdom in 1897. AND 78 years before 'Nigeria' was born (in 1914). https://www.prints-online.com/p/164/benin-village-scene-4359826.jpg Benin Village Scene, 1836 Village scene in Benin - a high-ranking citizen with his attendants Source: Wall Art and Photo Gifts from Mary Evans Picture Library https://www.prints-online.com/benin-village-scene-4359826.html As you can see, we had multi-storey buildings, with sophisticated roofing and ventilation systems in VILLAGES before the colonial era. Yet we have this image that they all lived in muds huts with thatched roofs. WHY? We have been seriously miseducated about our past. It looks even better than many parts of our country today. Who knows how far ahead we would have been today absent of colonial invasion and disruption of our civilisation? If our villages looked like this nearly 200 years ago, how might they have looked TODAY, without European invasion? Maybe like WAKANDA! And here is BENIN CITY PROPER drawn by the same woman in 1836, showing multi-storey buildings and monuments. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DhFQSSxX0AADqSb.jpg The British bombed, burned down and looted this beautiful city! They just could not bear to see such an advanced city built by black Africans. This is why we say that colonialism did not bring civilisation to Nigeria. It took away our civilisation, and replaced it wIth vagabondism! |

Ken4Christ:How do you know that what is written in the bible about how the world began or how it will end, is true? ARE YOU EVEN AWARE that the original Hebrew texts do not refer to a singular creator? Are you aware that the numerous references to ''The Lord'' and ''God'', in your bible are falsified, and that the original term used is Elohim, meaning ''the Gods''? Are you aware the ancient Hebrews were polytheistic? Are you aware it was Romans and Greeks who stole the Hebrew texts, altered them in numerous places, and invented ''The Lord'' out of nothing, simply because they had turned monotheistic (for political reasons of control)? Are you aware that there existed multiple religious texts penned by the Hebrews, and it was Roman emperors who decided which texts would be included in their 'bible', and which texts would be excluded, all based on their political interests? Are you aware that many excluded texts have totally different renditions of Creation and the end times? Have you heard of the Jewish Apocrypha? These are volumes of Hebrew texts completely excluded from the bible by Roman emperors. They include texts like the testimonies of Baruch, Enoch, Gad, Esdras, Judith, Macabees, and many others. Do you know why there were excluded? Most of you Nigerian christians don't research anything, and you don't know anything. Your heads are just receptors of Roman/British manipulation. Anything they tell you, you believe without question. I think you lot are pathetic. |
Sladem05:SHUT YOUR LIPS THERE. Here is a video that shows beyond all reasonable doubt that the Moors were black Africans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEK-pl3VyKM&t=4s&ab_channel=AfricanHistoryStation Europeans even have festivals today where they dress up in BLACKFACE in commemoration of Moorish rule. https://www.mandela8.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/BlackFace-Coconutters.jpg https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_606w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2013/11/16/Foreign/Images/Netherlands_Black_Pete-08bc6.jpg Black Africans ruled large parts of Europe for nearly 800 years, between 711 and 1492. It was black rule that led Europe out of its Dark Ages and into its Renaissance, which was the springboard for the Industrial Revolution. |
MaxInDHouse:SHUT UP THERE. Which ''God's word''? That some stupid white thieves came here and forced a silly book on your ancestors a century ago, doesn't make it ''God's word''. Unquestioning, brainwashed cretin. |
RenaissanceGuy:Very naïve question. It starts by France using its leverage to ensure that a particular compromised leader gets to power, in Niger’s case, that Arab ex-president. You don’t even know how these things operate, yet you are full of opinion. |
babasolution:That is called Arbitrage, even if it were true. That’s very different from established trade networks between manufacturers and consumers and vice versa. You also seem to not acknowledge that the white armies that did the black city destruction were composed majorly by other blacks.( in Nigeria particularly the Hausa and to a smaller extent the Yoruba).Erm…. That’s what happens when your land comes under colonial domination. Your soldiers become THEIR soldiers. Whether Africans pioneered sea faring or not evidence shows that atleast by the time of the European encounter they had lost it.It’s not about “hating whites”, you naive person. It’s about identifying when whitey becomes your enemy and a threat to your collective civilisation. Benin did not do anything different from a gazillion empires of the past who sought military assistance from their allies to defeat their enemies. Plus the Benin kings, who were fiercely independent, rejected Portuguese blackmail that they should turn Christian in order to get military help, and they still went on to defeat their enemies with their own weapons. We must be factual and logical not emotionalGood. So get rid of your emotional attachment to white colonialists. |
No big deal. Is it not human beings that fly commercial? If you people don’t have something serious to post, go and sit down somewhere and stop disturbing our peace. ![]() |
babasolution:The whites did NOT “facilitate internal African trade with their ships”. Why the hell would they do that? To make life better for Africans? What the hell is wrong with you? It’s like you don’t want to accept they were your ENEMIES. They came here and mass murdered your people and you are here talking jazz. Do you know Europeans burned down and bombarded over 100 African cities? You are very naïve regarding what they did here. Plus Africans HAD SHIP BUILDING TECHNOLOGY. In fact Africans PIONEERED seafaring. How else do you think every other continent was populated? You don’t know that every race of people are descended from ancient African settlers? Africans explored the world thousands of years before Europeans did, and by the 1700s, many African regions had little use for seafaring when the Europeans, pressed by poverty, began seafaring and making guns to go and loot other lands. When Christopher Columbus, the man who supposedly discovered America, got there, he saw black Africans already trading there and living among the native Americans. They had arrived centuries earlier in their ships from places like Senegal and Mali. And colonisation did not start because Africans were trading with Europeans. That’s a ludicrous assertion. Colonialism started because greedy European leaders were desperate to loot the wealth of the then prosperous Southern Hemisphere, and began to mass produce firearms to do just that. The unsuspecting south were caught unawares by the sheer ruthless greed of those pale skinned invaders and their firearms, and the rest is history. |
babasolution:You have been miseducated. If you had “devastating wars” in your town or village before the British invaded, it doesn’t apply to everywhere or most places in Nigeria. Most places were PEACEFUL, and communities had long standing conflict resolution mechanisms to prevent anarchy. Plus if warfare is a reason to colonise other societies, Europeans should have been the prime candidates for colonisation, even as recently as the last century, where they slaughtered over 100 million of themselves in the two white tribal wars they deceptively called “world wars”. And the British destroyed and burned down our cities and towns, such as Great Benin City, which was described as being among the best planned and most beautiful cities on Earth in the 1600s, complete with palm oil-fuelled streetlights, underground drainage, and multi-storey buildings and public monuments. A city where the Portuguese visitors reported that people did not build front doors to their houses because theft was unheard of! Can you say that about anywhere in Nigeria today, with your British-influenced country? Do you dare to build a house without a gate and barbed wired high fence, and windows with iron bars? The Benin empire exchanged ambassadors with Portugal in the 1500s, traded with numerous countries in Europe and beyond, so this idea that we needed England in order to have a ‘development template’ is FALSE. |
babasolution:Why is it so hard for you people to understand what COLONIALISM means? A colonialist power is in your country to BENEFIT HIS COUNTRY, not yours. He is there to LOOT your resources for the express purpose of ENRICHING his country. He is not there to build your country. Quite the opposite. If the British were not looters and thieves, Nigeria would have been a developed country like South Africa by the 1940s at least. The only reason South Africa is developed today is that the white colonisers regarded it as THEIR country, and so instead of siphoning 95% of annual export earnings from the natural resources like gold, diamonds etc, as happened in other colonies, they reinvested the export earnings in the country and built its infrastructure, industries, etc. In Nigeria and elsewhere, the opposite was the case, which was why at independence, Nigeria was a big, fat BUSH that still requires basic infrastructure built even 60 years after they left. Because they did nothing but loot. And to imagine that that was gonna change if they had stayed longer, just shows deep naivety on your part. What 99% of you don’t know is that we had our technology and trade networks before the European invasion. The area known as Nigeria today was a major centre of soap, textile, and glass manufacturing, and Portugal had to ban the importation of Nigerian-manufactured soap in the 1850s in order to protect their fledgling soap manufacturing industry. An Englishman commented in the 1860s that textiles mass produced in western Nigeria were of a higher quality than what Manchester, then the centre of the English textile industry, had to offer. Intra-African trade was at a very high level, and Igbos traded with the Ashantis and Congolese, while Yorubas traded with lands as far as Mali and Nubia. The colonialists DISRUPTED this intra-African commerce and turned their colonies into cash crop producers for export to Europe. That was what destroyed the African economy and led to mass poverty among a people who were very prosperous prior to colonial invasion. Today, the intra African free trade agenda of the AU, ECOWAS etc is all about rebuilding those destroyed networks and end African poverty, and it is succeeding, and will lead to African prosperity. Asking to be ‘recolonised’ by Europeans is a function of an ignorant, brainwashed condition, and is truly pitiful. |
Ken4Christ:My source of authority is AFRICAN RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY. I know you have all been brainwashed to demonise and ignore it, but if you visited your most respected village traditional priest and asked him QUESTIONS about our presence here, his answers would MIRROR what I am stating here. Same as if you visited a traditional priest in India, China, Mexico, Japan.. the priests of the OLD WORLD PRE-JUDAIC knowledge, of which AFRICA was the centre point and knowledge fountain. They will ALL tell you that we are IMMORTAL and transit to the Afterlife as a matter of course, irrespective of our religious beliefs or lack thereof. Even modern science is belatedly learning the truth about universal salvation, ie that ALL are saved, via: 1) The testimonies of millions of people who have had a Near Death Experience (NDE). 2) The revelations of those who have undergone Hypnotic Regression Therapy, where they reveal under deep hypnosis, their experience in the REAL WORLD prior to being born here. I suggest a book titled ‘Journey of Souls’ by Michael Newton. In fact, YOU can be put under deep hypnosis and made to reveal your pre-birth life in ‘heaven’ prior to being born, and even reveal details of your previous lives on Earth, including your former names. All the information is stored in your subconscious. Many, if not most of us, have lived several lives on this Earth. A ‘veil of forgetfulness’ is placed on us prior to being born, so that the memory and vast knowledge we have doesn’t interfere with our current experience. The site below has over 5,000 testimonies from people all over the world who have had an NDE, and you can learn a LOT there. www.nderf.org |
ycat:Precolonial Africans knew this. It was colonialists that came with the lies. |
Skooltynz:They can't try it. They will be slaughtered. This is not 1886. Only ignorant, unschooled, right-wing white racists discuss this garbage. Ordinary Niger Republic sent France packing, but somehow they will ''re-colonize Africa''. Rubbish. |
Namaster:OH SHUT UP..... Without AFRICANS coming to power in the 1960s, YOU WOULD BE AN ILLITERATE RURAL PEASANT. In 1960, literacy rate for Nigeria was 7%, after an uninterrupted 70 years of colonial rule and looting of our resources. Today, after barely 60 years of independence, literacy rate is around 70%, courtesy of indigenous govt's investment in thousands of public schools. IS THAT NOT PROGRESS? Today you can decide you want to move to UK or Canada, and are sure you will do well there. Why? Because a ''visionless black nation full of wickedness and greed'' educated you and exposed you. Could your farm-stuck, illiterate grandparents under British colonial rule do that? Did they know what an airport was or where Canada was? Do you want to compare the infrastructure we have today with what we had in 1960? In 1960 everywhere was bush. Cars were only for the super rich, and there was no single power station. Malnutrition was rife. The problem with most of you is that you have ZERO FCKING IDEA how terrible life was on this land before independence. That's why you wake up every day talking RUBBISH instead of taking stock of the PROGRESS you've made, and be inspired to do more. |
