Kayfra,pls pardon the Igbos until they start their usual stupidity again.I have known,after reading their history,that the intelligent ones amongst them are the Igalas who have metamorphosed into Igbo just like the Yorubas in IMO state who migrated from Ile Ife but are now Igbos.Vanguard carried some stories about them recently.
What we need now is to come together and sieve out the stones in our rice threatening to break our teeth.
Africomterror: Usman Dan Fodio was defeated by Ibadan warlords in Yorubaland as far as the forest zone.
I don't understand them desiring to rule over another race. I can understand Usman Dan Fodio ruling Hausa and Fulani which are cousins yet not Yorubas and Igbos. Different brothers ruling their own lands are needed at the table of brotherhood and kingship.
Wake up out your slumber
Most of them see Usman Dan Fidio as a kind of god who had given them a prophecy that they must work upon. The cowards will be totally obliterated from Nigeria up to anywhere they are in Africa.They are a problem to Africa as a whole.
kettykings: Don't mind these useless liars that banned the teaching of history in schools only to publicize falsehoods in social media.
Tomorrow they will bring out another dirty fallacious lies about why they didn't end boko haram in 3 years
Biafran military out strategized , out maneuverd and over powered this folks on many occasions, if quick kill means killing innocent civilians and not fighting biafran combatants ,then what was black scorpion and the originators of starvation doing during the war and still lost more soldiers
Black Scorpion and Yorubas would not have joined the war if Biafrans had not tried to invade Ore.
Shiver99: In any case, Igbos traditionally did wear less clothes than other muslim dominated tribes, often going topless. This was because the ancient Igbos were a highly intelligent people, and knew they couldn't thrive in their environment wearing 3 piece tuxedos or ballgowns. An understandable observation from a tribe with the oldest known signs of civilisation in Nigeria.
Many whites, knowing that if they wore the same clothing they did in their homelands in parts of Africa they would die of heatstroke (Which several of them did), and had to quickly adapt.
Only a product of the failed nigerian system, would think that wearing more clothes meant you were more civilised. Using that same logic, the vikings that often covered themselves in coarse animal fur were far superior to the ancient egyptians and indians, were men or women wore only slips or beads around their waist.
You would be a good fiction writer,old man.Unfortunately,you seem to be bereft of wisdom.Would you rather begin to walk unclad now with your totori because of the timid temperature of Nigeria.You don't even know how to spin yourself anymore.
Igbos/slaves had always had the minutest intelligence save for a very minute few who might possibly be the Igalas amongst them who normally had becone one with the larger population.
Your spinning said these Igbos are highly intelligent in 1921? One can see the intelligence seeping out of them
Gabkosh: Osu slave, don't get too emotional. Abobaku was a title in oyo ile then, not in all Yoruba. Just as other yorubas have their titles as well. It is not forced on people, even people fight for it and are proud of it.
Unlike Osu, where a whole race is seen as less human and use as sacrifice to the useless gods.
Osu cannot marry freeborn. Shame on you and your race.
Those Igbos/slaves are living up to their name.They are topnotch barbarians with the most demeaning 'pungent' culture in the world.They even practised abobaku that was a proud title in Oyo then....abobaku lived like a king and die with the king in Oyo but Igbos' abobaku usually 5 or more people are the very poor...poor souls!
Cherez: Did you actually read what you posted? Your post says, "CONQUERING PEOPLE imposed their LANGUAGE on their subject population(people under them)". So, the main Igbos "NRI" ain't slaves but neighbouring towns on the border lines of Igboland
Fulani conquered all Hausa cities and hamlets but took Hausa as language because of population so also did the Igalas.
Igalas are not Igbos because they are not slaves but slave masters to Igbos/slaves.
NRI= IGALA Unfortunately, Igbos are claiming NRI as their origin now.Slave mentality at its peak.
[quote author= post=86265961]Lol Amotekians, be glad and wise. Amotekalization is here. Amotekites get ready for the job ahead and take every religion along. No stigmatization of other tribes in the country. With all these, Amoteks is here to stay.
Lol You are mouthed ma! Now, this is funny![/quote]Be guided.Amotekun means Leopard.Ciao.
Maadoo: Lazy man secretly wishing to be an igboman. Just beg God to create you an igboman in your next world. It is best privilege a “Primitive man” can ever have.
It is a taboo in Yorubaland to think of being barbarians who were still learning how to wear clothes in 1921.I will rather be a fish than be an Igbo. Igbo means slave.
Yujin: Olaudah Equiano is Igbo and I concur with his submissions. His descriptions were apt and his narrations clear enough to any well read Igbo. He spelt Igbo as 'Eboe' following the English style of spelling. This was as far back as the 16th century when even English alphabets were still changing. Quit the route you're going. You're bound to lose.
Olaudah or Gustavus was not Igbo but was unfortunate to write what he wrote from hearsay.
kayfra: Don't mind them. The funny discovery is they really started becoming an ethic group in the 1920s. It was the Northern folks (Anambra and Enugu) from Igala tribes that were Igbos before assimilating others that still to date are not fully assimilated Igbos.
The Igalas who conquered, repressed and colonised them are the owners of the NRI title .They met the real Igbos there but looked down on them and called them Igbos which means slaves.I have read it other than what you posted.
kayfra: Why would you want to excavate sites based on a pure speculative write up?
Lolz
And you shall know the truth and it will set you free
My Igbo brethren can abuse and downgrade anything not knowing that they are the most debased and downgraded among all the ethnic groups in Nigeria.One wouldn't be surprised that they started to learn how to wear clothes in 1921.
Do not take away a mans means of livelihood,do you expect him to steal to survive? Leave them for 8 months as they are gradually faced out.Invite some of them to go into mechanised farming.
Those who mock us about the civil war which we held down for good three years can never last 24hours in a war with the rest of the country.
Can cowards hold anything down.Most Igbos in the war were hiding and looking for a way to run to Ivory Coast. The South southerners,who were brave,fought the war.
No matter what happens, an Igbo man will always run away and betray you.Rely on Igbos at your own peril.They always run to Ivory Coast. Ask Ojuku.
Shiver99: Op’s post while somewhat inaccurate and rather speculative, hits home on why Northern igboland, especially Anambra, Enugu should be excavated as a matter of urgency. There is evidence of an ancient civilisation that according to historians that could date back to 3000bc, where the north-south migration would have began.
It speaks to the corruption and lackadaisical attitude of Nigeria, that one of the oldest iron smelting sites in the world was found in south east Nigeria and no intense follow-up archaeology work was done.
Fortunately, In Biafra, more work will be done to uncover Igbo history, but I really wish Igbo development unions take it more seriously.
oilPUSSY: See clowns above consoling themselves bearing the name Fulani gave them..
So unfortunate that they don't know their history..
Even in 21 century when everybody's eyes are open, their masters are still conquering them,creating vigilantes, rising their flags in their territory
Let us even believe you that Fulani that came just not more than 300 years gave Yoruba which had existed before their arrival,their name which ironically does not mean anything in Fulfude.
The name America was given by a mere Italian and it stuck and they have soared up and up just like the Yorubas who are empire builders and the most educated,most developed,most industrialised and most accomodative region in Nigeria.
I have read not even from the journal posted that the meaning of Igbo is slave.
Igalas who are the NRI consistently called you Igbo/IBO. .....which means SLAVE.... and the name stuck.It is very disheartening that you continue to call yourselves,SLAVES even till today.
reality1010: Our loyalty is to the Sultan of Sokoto so nobody should interfer with our loyalty. There is freedom of association. Enough of the abuse on yoruba moslem. It s not a crime to be a moslem.
OSU,why don't you face your otokoto region? Abi na OSU curse? The same addiction wey kill Azikiwe. OSU,,OSU,OSU..how many time I call una? Make una face una alaigbo hamlets.
CyynthiaKiss: Ever since Amokekun issue came up, SW Muslims have directly and indirectly kicked against it without considering the reactions of some of Christian Yorubas..
SW muslins have once again proved to us that religion plays a very strong role in Yoruba land.. They will always tell you that Yoruba is Yoruba if things are going their way, but quick to bring religion when they think that things are not going the way they wish ..
To average SW Muslim on the street, religion goes ist before tribe instead of the other way round. If not not tell me why SW Muslim formed an alliance with fulanis and objected the formation of amotekun because they perceive it as a Yoruba Christian agenda ?
Average Yoruba Muslim is desperate to integrate with Fulanis in order to stop anything that could give rise to Oduduwa nation because they believe that if Oduduwa is achieved, their so called spiritual leader sultan won't be there again to do what they see as spiritual work during Ramadan as if nobody is capable of doing that in Yoruba land ..( Slavery is a disease)
Some of us Christian Yorubas saw this coming, but we were insulted and called a lot of unprintable names.. SW Muslims are ready and eager to do anything to sabotage Yoruba land in order to please the caliphate..
1.. Apart from MURIC, why would another religious body like Nigeria supreme Sharia council interfere in Amotekun saga even when they have no business with SW political issue ?
2.. Why would Yoruba Muslim.s online and offline kick against Amotekun despite the insecurities that are facing SW 3.. Why are South West Muslim.s hell bent in mixing up with Fulanis ?
The answer is Religion ..
"Yoruba is Yoruba" was coined by SW Muslims to deceive the gullible ones not the progressive Yorubas.. Some of us Christian Yorubas are wiser, its no more business as usual..
Yoruba Christians wake up !! Our enemies are within ..
Enough of this madness !!
Yoruba Muslinzz are free to express their frustration as usual on this thread..
Another OSU going berserk.
99.9% of Muslims and Christians of Yoruba stock support Amotekun.MURIC is working for his pay. Why you OSUs carry matter for head like gala.?
celeiyke: The only developed place in Oyo state is Agodi . I know Ibadan more than U and I won't dignify u with a response
I bet all the more than 10 GRAs,skyscraper, The research organisations,UI,UCH,all the malls,gardens,radio stations,TV stations,the 2 stadia and all the choice houses that are more than the ones in Igboland,the 5 mega malls etc are all situated in Agodi.
You are very rite.
Ibadan is more developed than the entire Igboland.
Ibadan also has better road network than Igboland.
The North will shoot itself on the feet.Amotekun is a project Yorubas have decided on and there is no going back.The faster you accept, the better for you and all these hullabaloo will die down.If the North thinks otherwise,they will go down quickly and never rise again.A word is enough...
celeiyke: Ok. Support us and see how even d common man in ur village will see government work
But you were still backward during regionalism. You were left to show how good you were but you failed. Even at present,Ibadan city is more developed than Igboland.
sultanodudua: This hate filled insecure and bitter yorubas always recycling the same garbage year in year out. When will these cowards grow up.
I have always believed my Igbo friends because they complain a lot but most of what they have parroted to me are falsehood taken from 'oblivion'. Thank God for some people like the OP who are doing a 'YOMAN' job on nairaland and some other platforms to keep the record straight.
celeiyke: Did any of those guys fail in that position? Did any of them get the position cos he is Igbo? Then, everything was merit. Keep living in yesterday. The truth is if u resort to merit today, the igbo will dominate. HATE OR LOVE THE IGBO, they believe in excellence
The same thing the Hausa Fulani man will say which they did when Buhari picked his people especially the service chiefs.I call it longthroat.
I have always said that the 2 ethnic groups in Nigeria that are birthed in nepotism and domineering spirits are IGBOS AND FULANIS. If Igbos become president,ehn?Everybody go hear whenhen.. Well,it won't be more than 8 years...
