Guy thats what they teach you in school. Arabs teach their children "They are the owner of Jerusalem", it doesnt mean Arabs own Jerusalem. Everyone teach history from a favourable perspective, it doesnt mean its true.

Yorubas are Yorubas, Oduduwa is not from Benin, Okanbi is not from Benin. We only have few things in common. The only cultural similaries can be seen in Ile-Ife alone. Because Ife son becomes Oba of Benin, so he went there with Ife costumes.

Have you seen core Yoruba cultures? Its nothing of Benin. No similarities, Yorubas are a different set of people, very unique.

The IFA, the talking drum, Kijipa e.t.c....we are too big to come from that small benin. Ofcourse we had political marriages.

Its like Fulani people claiming Yorubas are descendant of Fulanis. Because we have intermarried and live together in Ilorin...Thats just political influence...Ilorin is not the source of Yorubas....

Get that into your skull


..................

However if the enclave of benin want to identify with Yorubas, there is no harm in that. We yorubas are friendly...You can even come and claim Lagos... Lagos, Yoruba Land is for everyone. Everyone is welcome. But do us a favor, dont be like Igbo who want rewrite the history of Yorubas..

Leave our history be...Leave us alone... Our culture is too rich for any ethnic group to tamper with.

Ifa was dated 600BC. IFA even alerted Yoruba people when Jesus was born...Ifa acknowledged the elders of a birth of "egg in the eye of olodumare"...Eyin loju olodumare....the precious one to the creator...

I have read IFA divinity, but christianity is my way, cuz IFA cant answer some question the bible answered.

and how did the ibos attempt to rewrite Yoruba history

one is too many

handsometokunbo:
My friend, I believe Igbos should be smarter than this....

How could igbos allow people to use them whenever it suits them

A true and proud Igbo man should be able to claim that Igbo identity anytime anyday; not I m Igbo today in the presence of other ethnic groups but igbo among Igbos.

You guys should be able to see the handwriting on the wall

AMAECHI SAID HE WAS AN IGBO MAN DURING POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IN THE EAST/SS AND YOU TOOK THAT AS HONEST TRUTH.

C'mon my guy

Buhari could as well have said he is igbo, and osibanjo while we are at it. Just to campaign.

If you name a place umuokoro which means okoros children in centarl igbo and later change it to rumuokoro which is ikwerre dialect for same meaning it means its ''unigbo''.

Its like the interchangeable ''sh'' and ''s'' sound in oyo dialect and central yoruba.

Look at the end of the day anybody can be whatever he is but you can hide for long, there was a time the egba were claiming they are not same with other yorubas.

amaechi says he is igbo, lets leave it at that........until he says otherwise.

And wassup with the you people statement?

muut2:
Amaechi could sound Igbo name but the truth of the matter is that if you study your geography well bro you will see where Rivers State falls into (South South) NOT South East.

Are you for real? south south means nothing man! Its a political creation, going by geography then ondo and lagos and parts of ogun should be south south before places like auchi.

This is kindergarten reasoning from you, in reality the akoko edo man and the efik man both in south south are starngers to one another, they have nothing in common apart from the political tag of south south.

Asaba people are not ibos too because the are in south south?

Achuzia, kaduna nzeogwu are not even from the present SE, the past president of ohaneze is from asaba, he must be an impostor cos he is from ''south south'', where were you when amaechi was busy campaigning in igbo language and telling everyone that he is the original igbo man while GEJ is a faking it with his adopted igbo name, you were sleeping?

Dont delve into matters you dont know jackshit about

handsometokunbo:
Does Rotimi make him a Yoruba man?

These people have warned you guys to stop imposing your Igboness on them. Being your neighbour with similarities in culture does not make any Ikwerre man an Igbo.

Disrespectfully enough, Ikwerres changed everything that sounds like Igbo names in Portharcourt and environ to something else so as to ensure their identity is well protected but you continue in usual manner to disrespect them by forcing yourselves on these people.

I was watching a comedy show with Julius Agu on the stage, I have always believed he was an Igbo man until he started yabbing Igbos as his neighbour. I was surprised and shocked when he referred to Igbos as his neighbour in the video. He later said he is from Portharcourt in the video........

And basketmouth and klint de crunk who yabs igbos the most are not igbo?

Anyway watch other clips where he refered to himself as an igbo man.

Plus were you sleeping when amaechi was going round the country shouting that he is an igbo man while GEJ is not?

Not forcing anything on anyone but dont join issues with things that you know next to nothing about.

Whenever you here stuff like i am a south south man, its political statement, the auchi man know next to nothing about the ibibio, get the picture?

Its political creation to acheive a purpose

omolami:
That has remained the igbos waterloo. They dont speek in one voice. While some are here many will go there.I wonder the type of region God create them.

Contrary to your opinion, the north and the east spoke with one voice if this last election is anything to go by, the north spoke en masse for buhari while the east spoke en masse for jona.

Rather its the west where the votes were almost equally shared in places like ondo and ekiti that did not speak with one voice.

Reason logically my friend, dont allow hate to becloud your reasoning.

And why take the burden on your small shoulders to wonder for God why he did something, live it for God to wonder about

madamoringo:
Ibos shamefully trying to steal themselves in through the back door after Yorubas birthed the vision, mobilized and built bridges of alliance to the north, middle belt and parts of the SS but only ibos were myopic and declined progress for their usual tribalistic and insular reasons. Anyway, the APC will do what is in its plan for and with these non-typical Ibos but the local ones still on their villages and doting the landscapes of the SW angling for something they worked against on the basis of quota system will be disappointed. Give Iboland what it deserves constitutionally but that is it because they worked hardest against today, against APC, against Buhari, against Tinubu, even Amaechi and must never benefit for what they didn't work for! They like the chop sand syndrome and I hope they are made to choke on it!!

All all these is because Nigeria is your father's property?

realjoker:
yes he is right, but he refused to let people know that most of the slaves yoruba sold are mostly ibos who were conquored by the yoruba slave lords.

Are you ok?

Ibos and yorubas never engaged in combat from prehistoric times till now, they never shared a common boundary, they never disputed empires or territories so which war are you talking about?

The one on NL?

Ibos and igalas had some skirmishes which stopped when they started marrying each other, igbos and efiks also has some dispute over the aro shrine which ended when the arochukwu conquered and took possession of the above mentioned shrine.

So which war are you talking?

you better desist from all the beer parlour gossip you engage in when you converse with learned ppl or risk being exposed as the half baked graduate you really are.

ziryboy:
You are the most useless and idiot I have ever seen. SLS that was accuse by your useless jonathan of financial recklessness should be investigate by Buhari? The Jonathan that accuse him that he is suspended till after the investigation of which there is noting against SLS that is why we didn't here anything whether SLS is guilty or not. I know you an ibo man, that is how you useless Ibos talk, support useless things and devalue good things. The south south shall always take par forever, you can never rule this country forever, useless set of people

Can you counter his post with intelligent points and not sound off like a randy man whose wife has denied punny for nine months.

At the end of the day, we need opposition to keep any government on its toes.

And beleive me or not, dude raised some valid points.

And whatsup with the ''useless ibos'' yarn, seriously man?.what does that have to do with this?......amaechi, rochas, ngige, etc are all useless ibos too?............what do you see when you look at yourself in the mirror every morning.

MrMcJay:
Before you declare biafra, I would like the folowing people to support it and not some faceless folk hiding behind a keyboard.

Orji Uzor Kalu
Jim Ovia
Tony Elumelu
Chief Emeka Anyaoku

Owners of the following businesses
SLOT
Chisco
ABC
Chelsea Hotels
GUO Motors
Orange Drugs
Capital Oil

Also, is the SE prepared to feed itself if it pulls out today? If you are still depending on food from the North to feed you, it is very dangerous. 5 trailer loads of poisoned onions sent to the east is enough to end the Biafran struggle.

Also, the struggle should be led by intellectuals and not illiterate and hungry troublemakers.

If these things are not fixed, Biafra is no more effective than mere beer parlour gist.

Add......

Prince arthur eze.

Emeka offor.

All the bizmen of igbo origin in lagos and kano.

Most of these guys typing here are in the US or UK and the have a very grandiose plan on paper only.

dcaliph:
HAHAHAHA that guy isn't even representing his family.

and your stereotypical nature made you think the ordinary members represent the whole Igbo while the president of the group doesn't rep his family.

very smart and analytical way of thinking.

kazzonline:
Airforce one you can lie ooo, but why na, you never ever turn the s wey dey for superstar you don dey lie, just simply put the topic as nairlanders rate my elder bro, which tbh he is a cool and fine dude.

dcaliph:
kindly remove Edo from that map. Thanks

unfortunately, the president of the group is from Edo state.

babasoji:
Utter rubbish. You put up a bunch of words together as intelligently as you possibly could and yet, it still reads as utter rubbish.

So because we are fighting Boko Haram, we should shut up about our African brothers being killed, injured, maimed and displaced?

And to your other point about MTN and Shoprite, if you haven't heard, Nigeria brings in about 40% of profits for both entities and while I would never advocate any form of violence but the power of economic boycott would have an impact on both entities. And for the record, the same crimes you accuse other Africans of, MTN and Shoprite are guilty of. They have poor staffing practices, cheat Nigerians of our hard earned money and don't build capacity of our people.

Finally, lol at Shoprite and MTN hiring millions of Nigerians...you might as well have said billions now...donkey

best reply, and succinctly put.

these guys are not Nigerians, save for a few>

how many of them have Nigerian passports.

ditossyn:
Football age tho........... He is probably 38

mikel cant be 38, out of all his mates that played age-grade football together with him he is the only one still relevant.

his rise is documented.

he is not 28 though, he might be 28 plus at most 4yrs, not 10years!................................

ok plus 5yrs.
