What parts of Yorubaland did the Binis colonize, kindly mention these places; if you mistake the influence of a dominant culture on the border towns as colonisation, then something is fundamentally wrong with you. No tribe in Nigeria even won a war against the Yorubas, you can win some battles but your children will pay with their blood, we would psychologically rape your descendants to the extent of having cultural split personalities.

Even Ilorin most of you yap about that Yoruba lost, was an outpost that the Aare ona kankanfo 'war general' lived to check northern invasion, later became a refuge that accommodated slaves and rebels who escaped slavery and the tax regime of Oyo empire. That was why Afonja was easily defeated by the guile of his Fulani mercenaries.

Well my forefathers corrected that erroneous thought of Fulani conquest of Yorubaland in Oshogbo, where will summarily executed them with sadistic pleasure.

There is a difference between conquering some parts of a tribe in war and conquering and colonizing a whole tribe

There are conquests all over Africa but non was like the Sokoto caliphate..it encompassed the whole of Hausa land and didn't even have one Hausa leader in any meaningful position

Even the Aro people conquered parts of Ibibio and even the fulanis conquered parts of yoruba land...but non was as complete as what happened to Hausa

The ogonis reverence Jaja of opobo who was a proud Igbo man who founded their town....parts of ijaw speak igbo today (bonny island) because of influence...that's not colonization

The Hausa was the only tribe in all of Africa that was fully colonized by another African tribe



Much of the Hausa population had settled in the cities throughout the region and became urbanized. The Fulani, in contrast, had largely remained a pastoral community, herding cattle, goats and sheep, and populating grasslands between the towns throughout the region. With increasing trade, a good number of Fulani settled in towns, forming a distinct minority.

Usman dan Fodio, an Islamic scholar and an urbanized Fulani, had been actively educating and preaching in the city of Gobir with the approval and support of the Hausa leadership of the city. However, when Yunfa, a former student of dan Fodio, became the sultan of Gobir, he restricted dan Fodio's activities, eventually forcing him into exile in Gudu. A large number of people left Gobir to join dan Fodio, who also began to gather new supporters from other regions. Feeling threatened by his former teacher, Yunfa declared war on dan Fodio on February 21, 1804.

Usman dan Fodio was elected "Commander of the Faithful" (Amir al-Mu'minin) by his followers, marking the beginning of the Sokoto state. Usman dan Fodio then created a number of flag bearers amongst those following him, creating an early political structure of the empire. Declaring a jihad against the Hausa kings, dan Fodio rallied his primarily Fulani "warrior-scholars" against Gobir. Despite early losses at the Battle of Tsuntua and elsewhere, the forces of dan Fodio began taking over some key cities starting in 1805. The Fulani used guerrilla warfare to turn the conflict in their favor, and gathered support from the civilian population, which had come to resent the despotic rule and high taxes of the Hausa kings. Even some non-Muslim Fulani started to support dan Fodio.The war lasted from 1804 until 1808, and resulted in thousands of deaths. The forces of dan Fodio were able to capture the states of Katsina and Daura, the important kingdom of Kano in 1807, and finally conquered Gobir in 1809. In the same year, Muhammed Bello, the son of dan Fodio, founded the city of Sokoto, which became the capital of the Sokoto state.


From 1808 until the mid-1830s, the Sokoto state expanded, gradually annexing the plains to the west and key parts of Yorubaland.

That "reliability" in voting is nothing but tribalism. I.e clannishly voting for a candidate when such candidate presents a verifiable history of leadership failure and great potential of misruling an electorate.

You did this in 2015 for GEJ who was an abject failure and definitely the worst President Nigeria has had since 1999. A balanced electorate rarely votes how you do anywhere in the world i.e casting almost 100% of votes for a poor candidate.

Nothing explains such aberrant behaviour other than the notion such an electorate is not a politically reasonable one focused on good governance. Trust me bruv, the way Igbos vote is not something any intelligent and balanced Igbo should be proud of.

blah blah blah keep the argument simple. You can say what ever you want but you must never say that Igbos are not united

justnock:
You have a solid point. I still believe the Igbos are not United enough. Period.

you believe it cos it has been said by Igbo enemies many times....but can you clearly point this out? When we vote we vote 80% to one candidate...we are a reliable vote block and until you can point out where we have not been solid.... you are talking trash bro...we gave 70% of our vote to NRC in 1993...we have a track record of reliability in voting that you will only find in north east geopolitical zone and nowhere else

justnock:
GEJ was handpicked. The Igbos are too ambitious to support each other. Everyone would want to become the next president if given the opportunity.

can you show us a clear example of that .... have Igbos not voted in unity? Have you guys not called us 5% because we vote in unity? Have we not supported our candidates from Alex ekwueme to Peter Obi? Have you guys not laughed at us because you guys always vote 50-50 because of disunity in your camp?

Stick to one narrative

justnock:
Apart from the fact that the Igbo tribe has been marginalized by the other tribes in Nigeria, politically...the Igbos are too disunited to even think of ruling this country.

like the ijaws were so united before ruling the country? Lol...which geopolitical zone is more United than south east?

NGpatriot:
Don't you mean ipob reacts..

point one Igbo poster there... yorubas keep insulting the north and getting away with it because you fools want to desperately believe that only igbos don't like Una... you can bury your head in sand and think nobody is seeing you... your business

Oshigun:
Are you okay? What is there to face you over? Your pathetic dishonesty that sees you never able to admit the truth about your people?

Any Igbo that cannot even minimally admit that his/her people are the most insulting towards PMB simply is not worth engaging. I don't have time for your childish and pathetic dishonesty.

shut up my friend...Igbos are not as uncouth and poorly trained as you owomis...see your people's hand work all over social media
Scilab know them well

Oshigun:
We'll be waiting buddy. I personally won't lose any sleep over your braggart noise because you Igbos are now discredited, as of today, as all talk and no action.

Maybe it is this generation of leaders like slavish Umahi, drunk Obiano, the kerosine simpleton or the shameless scammer Kanu and his IPOB extortion gang, fleecing Igbos worldwide, who will be exacting this revenge on your behalf.

Empty lunatic.

the day you will see Igbos begging for yoonity like this please tell me

Oshigun:
You mean like yahoo king Invictus Obi and his 78 Igbo 'developer' brothers ba? Shior.

face me ogbeni... how many known Igbos insult buhari more than Reno and ffk... you can not keep ignoring me while advancing a false narrative

icebird25:
No have never been to the west all my life

motor

icebird25:
Egungun fall on you beside I'm not a Yoruba

but you grew up in the west

icebird25:
They should quickly implement this o...e get one fine house for my area ...I don already they eye that house

I went to your profile to see if you are yoruba... you didn't disappoint

Oshigun:
Do you do reality at all? Igbos are the most toxically active users of the internet in Nigeria and majority of their bile is directed against PMB, Northerners and Yorubas so what names exactly do you want anyone to list.

This is always something that make some of you Igbos appear insane. Your grasp of reality is just so flimsy and dishonest. What names do you want when even a child born today can immediately understand that Igbos are the most Insulting and ungracious critics of PMB?

I waited for your screenshot....ok I will give you a few of mine to bait you

show me a screenshot of Igbos insulting buhari online and I will show you two screenshots of yorubas and Niger Delta peeps insulting buhari online and one screenshot of Hausa people insulting buhari and three screenshots of middle belt people insulting buhari....I have some of them on my phone..let's go

You guys are smart by half... you want the picture you paint on your head about Igbos to stick so bad, you lost track of what is real

Okoroawusa:
Bye

answer my question ogbeni...which Igbo man or woman or child criticizes buhari more than Reno and ffk....no dey tell me bye...I no hold your hand or leg... you can run if you have no answer to my question...we will keep exposing fools like you for what you are.

allthingsgood:
This is the mentality that has kept igbos in political bondage for decades!

counter what he said ogbeni... you are not scaring anyone by repeating this line over and over

Okoroawusa:
Really?...bro I am igbo n I am in many Igbo groups both online and offline. So ask another person that question

lol we have heard the 'i am ibo too' too many times ogbeni...try another line and my question remains which Igbo apart from kanu criticizes buhari more than Reno and ffk

Simplyleo:
Is there anything these ones don't scream marginalisation? That is why no government (even gej's) gives a damn about their useless inconsequential noise.

Whenever they say "marginalisation", just replace the word with, "we are not getting more than our fair share". Because that is what they think the word is about. Very funny pipu.

stick to one narrative... you can't claim Igbos dominated gej's government in one hand and claim gej didn't give a damn about Igbos in another hand...why are yorubas neither here nor there? Even in elections. These owomis gave atiku 47% of there votes even with massive APC rigging in Lagos and osun

Okoroawusa:
You are still missing the point.
The igbos are confusing themselves. What exactly does the igbos want? Don't tell me good governance because few years back they were igbos in many strategic positions in Nigeria.
Some igbos say igbos don't want presidency yet we hear noise of Igbo presidency as 2023 as 2023 approaches. Worse about it is that there is no strategy for the achievement of the presidency. The igboman is a very resilient person. He doesn't expect anything from anyone but in politics the igboman wants political power given to him. It doesn't work that way anywhere in the world. You strategize, plan n achieve it. The Yoruba nation has done it n it took them time, money, alliance.
Check every fake news about Buhari it has emanated from igbos n Igbo groups. Every bad news about Nigeria is best celebrated by igbos. You think other tribes are not watching? So you want them to give you that same zoo to lead? Things are not done that way.

can you give me example of this outside the jubril issue from nnamdi kanu? Is Reno omokiri and ffk Igbos? Apart from nnamdi kanu, name one ardent Igbo who criticizes buhari more than Reno and ffk...I'm waiting

Oshigun:
Northern political leaders don't hate or resent Igbos. They simply don't trust you - and with good reasons.

You guys have always been treacherous and acted like the enemy within to the extent you rightfully and deservedly gained the reputation of a highly tribalistic and nepotistic people who can never be trusted with power as you will be unfair to others 100%

It is just that Northerners are not talkative by nature so this is why you assume their effort to keep you away from power is borne of hate for you.

Far from it. Northerners are not and have never been your mates politically even as you people look down at them. They simply know and understand what Igbos are and decided, for reasons of self-preservation, to never let you near ultimate power. Northerners can say all sorts politically correct niceties in public but privately non will admit they are comfortable with an Igbo President.

It is nothing to do with fear of your leadership or administrative skills because your current crop of leaders show you don't have any and are nothing special at all in comparison to others. Everything is to do with your unreasonable nature and the realization that such does not predispose an Igbo man to leading Nigeria fairly or properly.

like buhari has done so far abi?

SoNature:
I am still wondering why you guys are fighting so hard to get attached to the South South

If you say that Igbos are ingenious, what do we need them for?

As far as I am concerned, the fight for a better Nigeria is worthwhile than separation

good luck fighting for a better Nigeria with 270 very different angry tribes with Islamic, Christian and traditional believes

Amotolongbo:
see someone calling for a virus on another human being like him.

Hope you know that you are not immune from the virus either and may be located by the virus before FFK is located?

APC supporters are some of the sickest and most poorly raised Nigerians,....you don't know this?

Yarimo is just being a typical APC urchin

Yorubas won't know whether to support ganduje or sanusi who helped them blackmail Jonathan

Tmb78:
I'm a Yoruba man and I don't see your women like white girl when I' m not under a serious Merlin spell.
Stop the overhyping,nobody sees your women as whites
Whites and your women?
you must be high on some cheap Aba made igbo
Some of your women are beautiful like other tribes while some are as ugly and dirty as fvckk like those in other tribes too
How can I see women like these as whites

stop showing pictures of older women... show us young Igbo girls of middle class background... your people are following them upanda on Instagram, turning them to celebs... you know that I'm saying the truth

Citytrend:
The wife looks Supper Dapper. The Yorubas are taking away all Ibo fine babes

the yorubas see marrying an igbo girl the way black people see marrying a white girl

Witcher:
This is bad... Fulani are nomadic, technically all the land belongs to them... Well if not the land at least the grasses.. he should expect payback if I'm in that town I will run away. Fulani are not like other black creatures they're special and they never forgive

this type of immodest talk will keep making fulanis unwelcome in most areas and with regional security now springing up everywhere, it will be very common to see fulanis being killed now

Wickedtruths:
Just shut up your dirty mouth if you have nothing sensible to say. You are in Lagos looking for better life, your parents in Enugu are celebrating barb wire and you're here talking nonsense. Why are you evil? Don't they deserve to enjoy what you enjoy in Lagos too?

I'm from Enugu and I'm unimpressed by ugwuani's administration...but bro Enugu is cleaner and more serene than Lagos naw...Haba... yoruba Moslem please tell us apart from being a commercial nerve center because of airport and seaport...what does Lagos have better than Enugu? At least we know Enugu don't have traffic jams or one kain smell

iammo:
whether you agree or not, Nigeria isn't a Nation but a Country and Union of Nations, Politics would always determine who gets what and all US President have always issued out defense contracts to only organization that supports them this is why non of them had agreed to ban guns

it is very simple, you support me then I support you, that's politics

so you agree that Nigeria is not stable and it's ok to keep it unstable because it benefits you today
What if it doesn't benefit you tomorrow...think well what you support..watch which side of the divide you are....don't think it doesn't matter... nothing is more important

iammo:
I guess you haven't seen what Trumps does to the Blue States in the US, or what he did to sanctuary state... Oga politics everywhere is about who supports me get the best out of me

is trump a yardstick for measuring American leaders? Has any other American leader been like that since you were born? If trump was u.s president since it's inception u.s would probably still be a slave nation

The road and railway you are getting from buhari now at the expense of the east will not last forever...but you and buhari are setting a precedent that may last forever...and you know that what goes around comes around

By year 2090 those infrastructure would be probably decayed but you may be receiving a worse treatment from a new leader who learnt from buhari

APCNig:
Stop begging your enemies for projects. Politics is investment, you invest votes and reap infrastructure. Go and meet Goatluck Jonathan and Atikuchukwu for your projects. You cannot work in GTBank and go to UBA to ask for salary

this is a big shame....no seriously let's forget jokes...this reasoning right here is why Nigeria will never be united enough to build a stable society.

At the end of the day you and I will suffer the Nigeria built by this mentality while buhari, Tinubu, wike and Amechi will be living the dream that even Americans pray for right under our noses
