Any meeting that's doesn't discuss about self determination is a waste of time. Nothing will change

Destroying the southeast will never bring any self determination

kettykin:
This meeting is coming late but nevertheless if they can get herdsmen, military, police out of the east perhaps peace can reign

How will getting police out of the southeast lead to peace? How idiotic are some people. In London there is police everywhere so how will eradicating police help the southeast?

Mokason288:
Nigeria is already at war

Wake up from your slumber

And stop acting like a pusssss***

stupid bravado. There was no war in the southeast till some killers started attacking security outposts

Nigeriabiafra82:
Christians don’t take advice from terrorists

You want us to collapse ESN
The way you sabotage bss
Is the way you are sabotaging ESN
And you want us to collapse it
So terrorists can turn imo to plateau
No way

These killers called unknown gunmen are turning the southeast to Plateau already. They are destroying the southeast

WesternOligarch:
She's just trying to say that race is based largely on genetics and not only skin color.

“Race” is not based on genetics because it is a social construct. You need to read up on the issue of race.

Also whenever people start insisting that so and so is not white, there is a chance the person is just promoting modern day Nazi talking points.

In case you didn’t realize she has not be able to define what makes one “white” or “black” nor make this so called genetic case.

1Sharon:
He has pale skin which most Europeans have, so why isn't he a white man?

This is why I said you are a troll

You have still not defined what “white” or “black” is despite insisting that so and so are not white for 7 pages now. What is it that constitutes someone being “white” or “black”?

Why is Wolf Blitzer or Benjamin Netanyahu or Gal Gadot or Scarlett Johansson not white because they are Jewish but Greeks and Italians are white?

1Sharon:
Armenians arnd Jews do not generally see themselves as white people.

I am familiar with both groups of people and going off their words.

Why is this albino not a white man?

Unlike the lady who got married in this thread, that Albino doesn’t look like any group of Europeans. The lady who got married looks like many Southern Europeans who are called white. Do I need to explain it more for you?

Terms like “white” and “black” are made up terms. Totally made up. I’ve seen Americans of northwestern European ancestry ask why they are labeled “white” anyways. A person can look like Wolf Blitzer and question why he is called white. Another can look like him and call himself white.

Officially in America both Armenians and Jews along with olive skinned Italians and Greeks are all classified and called white. Greeks don’t have the pale skin Northern Europeans have and neither do southern Italians but both civilizations are associated as “white people” civilizations

Even here on Nairaland there are many Nigerians who question why we accept the label “black” here all the time

1Sharon:
Race is a social construct but racism isn't?

Carry on.

You are a troll.

You have been here claiming Wolf Blitzer is not white, Benjamin Netanyahu is not white, Armenians are not white. so and so is not white. Who told you that? Who are you to determine what they are not. All these people see themselves as white people. Wolf Blitzer has said this about himself. Yet you are here talking rubbish


Racism is a social issue around a social construct.

There is no reason continuing this conversation if you can’t define what makes a person “white” or “black”

1Sharon:
Oh really? Race doesn't exist? Then there is nothing like racism then.

Race is a social construct just like racism is a social issue.

There is a reason you can’t do a simple thing and define what makes people “white” or “black”

1Sharon:
By your stupid logic, Michael Jackson is a white man. After all his hair was limp, his nose was pinched and his skin is pale, no be so?

Albinos in Africa are also white.

Dumb comment.

Just define “white”. What makes a person “white” or what makes a person “black”

You don’t seem to know that there is nothing like “race” in nature. Terms like Caucasian, Negro, White, Black are all made up terms.

What makes Nigerians “black” for that matter?

Anyways on this topic good luck to the couple. Their marriage is their own burden and responsibility

Akuruoulo:
DO YOU MEAN I CAN CLAIM TO BE ANYTHING I WISH TO BE , AND IT COMES TO PASS ?

Yes absolutely. It’s why Armenians in America are white. I’m sure they would be surprised to find out that some random Nigerians know what they are better than themselves.

Define “white”

1Sharon:
Ofcourse I would, but stil doesn't make me white

What makes one “white” if not looks? By your logic no one is white.

Not Brits, not Germans, not Swedes.

There is no such thing as “purity” in human nature. It’s a rubbish Nazi belief.

1Sharon:
Oh really, so will you call me white if I considered myself white ?

If you looked like other people called white like people from the caucauses (Armenians, Georgians, Southern Russians) or Mediterranean people (Italians, Balkans, Greeks, Spaniards etc)

You would be white too

1Sharon:
And so? People call them white because they're white-passing. People also call Jews white.

Armenia sits in the European end of the middle East. The population are Eurasian and that is not white.

Georgia is also Eurasian. That country also sits between the border of Europe and asia. Those ppl are also a fusion of both races

Anyway this is a pointless discussion.

There are people who don’t consider Wolf Blitzer on CNN as white because he is Jewish

If a Nigerian calls Wolf Blitzer white it isn’t because he is ignorant. It’s because he looks like other people who are described as white

Armenians are white in America. Every Armenian that has held power in America has been classified as a white man. The Kardashian family is considered white including their dad who was a full blooded Armenian and defended OJ Simpson

Maybe you can change it for them but you are wrong to declare her “not white” here because she doesn’t fit your own classification of white just as your classification of white would exclude Wolf Blitzer and Netanyahu

1Sharon:
Do you know the region that Armenia sits on?

You know states like California have had Armenian governors before right? Like throughout the 1980’s and they and the Armenian community were always called white?

Armenia sits close to where the Republic of Georgia is as a neighbor to the old Soviet Union

The original Caucasian’s are actually people like Georgians and Armenians not British or German

Look up the history of the word Caucasian

1Sharon:
They are classed as white because they are white passing. Ppl do the same with Jews. But neither are white.

What continent is Armenia on?

It's actually middle Eastern and Armenians are a blend of Asian and white people(Eurasian) like Turkish people.

They are not white. Race goes beyond skin colour.

That’s some Nazi stuff right here

So by your logic Benjamin Netanyahu is not white either.

But Nigerians would classify Nethanyahu as white even though Nazi’s would say he is not white.

It doesn’t mean Nigerians are ignorant. Many who’re people like Mediterranean people are olive skinned and not pale skinned but are whites regardless

1Sharon:
Kim Kardashian is not white! LOL

That would be news to America

Kanye marrying her was seen as a black man marrying a white woman. Both Kim and her elder sister who are whites in America look less white than this lady
Also Spanish people are white too. Not sure why some people are confused about that

Also Nigerians who think people in Nigeria are ignorant on race are actually just as ignorant as them.

Armenians like the Kardashians are classified as white in America.

1Sharon:
Leave them. Tried to set it straight but all they're doing is replying sarcastically

In America Dan Bongino is a white man of Italian descent who is on Fox News all the time. Check out his picture before declaring “she is not white”.

She looks like him and similar Italians

1Sharon:
Did I say Latino was a race?

She is not white, that's the point.

You are wrong. She can be described as white when Southern Europeans look like her or are Southern Europeans not white? Go to southern Italy or Greece and you can see people like her
She could also be “mestizo” which is what people call Latino

“White” isn’t even a special description like you seem to make it

1Sharon:
Look at her features closely, you look stupid.

Trying to feel smart with your sarcastic comment

What features. Latino is not a look nor a “race”. You realize you can be white and Latino right? She could be Italian or Greek or from Latin America or Southern Europe

Tboysalau:
yeah
she's Latina

You can be white and Latina. Latino is a language based description not looks

Not every white person is Northern European looking. Plenty of white people in Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal etc that look like her

StaffofOrayan:
Bros 400 years of harvesting the so called negro for slave is bound to cause a lot of strife and mistrust, so the division has been going on for centuries , to say your forefathers were just senseless people who didn't know their history is pure madness!

Guy what are you saying. I’m saying that race as a concept was invented by Europeans in the 1700’s. Our forefathers were never a Negro race or a black race till Europeans labeled them such. There was no such thing as “black unity” in a continent with thousands of languages, customs, traditions, religions and diversity

Europeans invented the idea of a Caucasian and Negro race. No such thing ever existed and is just made up nonsense

StaffofOrayan:
however, racial strategies were unsuited for the task at hand since a black majority with a united race consciousness would pose a threat to white minority control. European powers therefore turned towards a tribal strategy of creating and enforcing divisions in the majority. They entrenched the “tribe” as the basis of social, economic and political life through a policy known as indirect rule.

What do you think the British meant by division of the majority? Majority what?
Speaking English doesn't make you related to king Edward but you need a command of English to become a British citizen!
Every country is created on a myth and for the British its mythical dragons, Infact the British royalty would look you in the eyes and tell you they are descendants of dragons and Merlin was a real magician,

The creation of things like Niger Delta, North Central is the division they were talking about, people living in those regions are the biggest one Nigerians you can ever find.... It was designed that way, they have been cut off from their source

“Black race”, “Blacks”, “Negros” etc where wholesale a made up idea by Europeans. No such thing existed in the consciousness of the people pre-colonial times so it’s also a colonial invention.

The Igbo or Yoruba identity is more of a descriptor of a persons ethno linguistic group than say “Black”. “Black unity” has never been a thing and is just a phantom unrealistic idea that emerged from America

Abia online is part of the online propaganda army of the cabal holding Abia state hostage. Look at what this guy is posting here? This is why Igbo people keep moving to Lagos, Abuja and other places because this is what the propaganda army of the state government celebrates.

Abia people will be in shock when this current group holding the state to ransom is removed and Abians experience good government for once.

RunzMAN:



Biafra Nation must be actualised by force since they don't want to let NDI IBO to go...

How foolish can one be to believe burning police stations and killing police officers will bring Biafra? This is the most stupid thing Ive ever heard.

This is accomplishing nothing else other than destroying Igbo land.

Igbo people stop the madness. There is NO reason to support this insanity. There is no excuse for it . None whatsoever

Masterkernel1:
While Fulani Herdsmen are killing Igbos, what's your advise as to stop it?

What about you don't burn down your own house do you not understand? Only a crazy person destroys his own house to "fight Fulani"

Igbo people wake up capital is fleeing from the region!!!

Resees:
As an Igbo man, I say shame on all Igbos that are hyping this crap up..This will destroy our fatherlands are you guys this dumb or what?

Some Igbo people have lost their minds. Destroying the southeast for what exactly? The same police is the one Igbos meet in the Lagos and Abuja where people from the southeast will soon run to.

Lagos and Abuja are doing well and some insane people are destroying the south east

Also PH road should be the widest road in Aba if the state govt is serious. Like you can create a 4 lane boulevard in each direction making it a signature road

eduj:
yes on both counts. it's that road along with Ngwa road that constitute 90 percent of pics online about the decay in aba.Thank God both of them are being taken care of now

Why do we keep saying Port Harcourt Road inside Aba is a federal road? Ive looked at the list of federal roads before and Port Harcourt - Enugu express way is a federal road not an inside city road like Port Harcourt road.

That road is a state road like Ngwa road and Faulks road

PROUDIGBO:
I see another one has bought into the false narrative being sold by the very scumbags that planned and executed all these attacks!

IPOB and ESN are not responsible for the killing of security personnel in cold blood and the sacking of police stations and prisons!

I hope so. It would be one of the greatest own goals in Nigerian history to have Igbo people destroy Igbo land and chase away investments and businesses in the name of fighting Fulani injustice.
