I no see this thread oooooooo.
Chinolization how you see am?

Laugh don kill me for here.

You don't want to know.

Edopesin:
So we should give them the slot because of form and strength? what assurance do you have that Rivers won't improve in form and even win the league?

Stop imagining and use the stats on ground

We're not talking of concluding the league. If the league is allowed to run to conclusion any team can win. The issue is Enyimba's outstanding matches, 5 in number! If you allow them play those five matches they will top Rivers Utd. Simple.

Sunnyja:
Is it a MUST that Eyimba will win all the 5 matches?!

I didn't say Enyimba will win the 5 outstanding matches. But as at the time the league was stopped Rivers Utd were leading with 8 points and goal difference of just 3. If Enyimba play those outstanding matches there's no way they won't be ahead of Rivers Utd on goal difference or points or both, considering form and strength.

SlyCharlie:
Even if you use Goals Coefficient.
Enyimba would be in second position.
Do your maths well
Enyimba scored 30 goals in 20 games that'll give you a coefficient of 1.5
.
Rivers United scored 28 goals in 25 game's that'll give you a coefficient of 1.12.

The Rivers people are even confused.
they don't even know what they are fighting for.
they'd lose at CAS if they are foolish enough to go to that extent.

See me o. No mind them

Ajibel:
Enyimba has 5 games outstanding. Isnt it baffling that even at that, enyimba still comes close to rivers in whatever parameters you're also using

Help me ask them o. Enyimba would still top them if they had played out their 5 remaining matches. Useless people

I heard that in the whole of "Ijaw" Bonny only one community speaks Ibani. The rest na Igbo.

Be like the goal wake them up. 1-1 immediately. Lingard don score again. Nawa o.

Manure no won get sense. 0-1 now.

Mad o. The mega Oil states peaked at 5 billion and non-Oil Anambra is at 3 billion. So if Anambra was Oil producing where would she be at?

OfoIgbo:
Nri predates Ife by possibly more than a thousand years. Ife's achievements is only provable from 12th -14th century AD

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If%E1%BA%B9

Tomorrow, you will tell us Ife invented coal-tar.
And the Portuguese that were in Benin in the 1400s claimed that the papal figure to the east of Benin, was the greatest of such figure in the whole vicinity.
Now I know Ife is probably closer to Benin, that any of the core umu Nri towns, yet the Benin people made such a statement to the Portuguese. What this clearly shows is that Nri was far greater than Ife. To put it in another way. Igbos (Nri) are greater than Yorubas (Ife)

He's just jumping around. Nri is way too old to use and compare Ife. I think an Igbo civilization even predating the Nri kingdom was already holding sway probably alongside the Nok to the North. I'd say Ife and her people immigrated much much later.

OfoIgbo:
Nri people held sway in Igodomigodo. Historical books allude to that. Nri people were also the cultural/religious guardians of Benin empire.
Nri kingdom started perhaps up to a thousand years before the 9th century AD being ascribed to Nri's origin. That date only truly denotes the dating of the Igbo-Ukwu excavations which were attributed to the Nris, through Oraeri, an Nri offshoot. But it has been erroneously passed on, as the period that Nri civilisation started.

Benin people still use the 4 market days instituted by the Nris. They cannot deny that fact, as it is one of the very few cultural elements of Nri, that survives till present day.

I know for sure there's no way the Igbo origin starts at the height of Nri civilization at 9A.D. Various archeological findings disprove this.

Balogunodua:
SlayerForever


The oldest Igbo Ukwu bronze dated back to 840AD so it does not predates Ijebu Eredo Sungbo stop lying the nok culture is by far the oldest dating back to 200BCE.

You're talking rubbish bro.

Balogunodua:
You are still confused

There is no settlement in Igboland that predates that of ife or any west Africa settlement, and the Igbos were not the oldest group in Nigeria or west Africa infact the Eredo Sungbo in Ijebu dated back to 500AD so you have to understand what we are saying here is that the Igbo Ukwu were the earliest iron smelter in west Africa not the oldest group and their bronze is not even the best, cause the lack the techniques found in the earlier Ife and Benin bronze mainly soldering, wire making etc.


You can go make your research.

Continue running about. You're talking 500 AD while Nok and the Igbo civilizations have been present a millennium earlier. To even support my stand the wire making and soldering are newer innovations. The Igbo Ukwu artworks were widely defined as using crude unfamiliar methods by archeologists showing these methods are much more earlier and independently developed. We're talking centuries older. You're arguing but you don't know the Benin art that came centuries later was heavily Nri influenced. Nonsense.



You're yet to answer me: Where are the Nok today?

FrLukas:
Ordinary Benin ba?

We've heard of Benin Kingdom.

Mention a popular kingdom from Igboland.

Benin Kingdom is a tier lower compared to the height of the Nok and early Igbo civilizations .


They are just more talked about as the most recent. I still talk am again : ordinary Benin

Balogunodua:
I think you are confused

The Nok never did any bronze smelting but terracota which is kown as the stone-age, the Igbo Ukwu bronze are the oldest in west Africa presently

True. But where are the Nok today? You see your life


The Igbo remain the oldest group in Nigeria today and probably across West Africa.

Balogunodua:
Wrong again

Igbo Ukwu did not predates everything in West Africa, the only thing it predates was iron smelting, the Nok culture is the oldest civilization in West Africa dating back to 200BCE.

If Igbo Ukwu predates iron smelting then automatically Igbo Ukwu predates Nok culture because Nok used iron smelting. Igbo Ukwu falls into the Bronze Age which precedes the Iron Age, but I know you never knew that .

Atigba:
But you guys started referring to Nri kingdom here as the bedrock of Igbo civilisation.

The author never mentioned Nri in the article

It was a height of Igbo civilization not the origin.

Balogunodua:
Stop taking toomuch apku it not good for your health

The only thing that predates that of Ife were the bronze found at Igbo Ukwu site and research still doubt it, Ife existed long before the birth Jesus Christ, infact the pave road in Ife dated back to 800AD and you Nri kingdom was founded in 900AD Oga Nri never predates Ife.

You have said it yourself na. Igbo Ukwu predates anything across West Africa so far. So what is your argument again? Is it because I said Nri? No vex. It's all the same, Nri <=> Igbo Ukwu.

Atigba:
Nri kingdom was founded in 9century by a guy you have no idea about where he migrated from.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Nri

Stop telling me about Nri Kingdom. Nri kingdom is not the origin of Igbo people. Igbo people have been discovered to have been around centuries before Nri Kingdom. Nri Kingdom was just the height of our very very early civilization. You get?

Balogunodua:
How did Nri predate Ife

By many many many many centuries. Archaeological excavations have revealed this.

Atigba:
That is not true.

Igbo didnt predate Igodomigodo, the oldest Igbo kingdom is Nri which was established in 9 century AD.

People have been living in Igodomigodo since 40BC

You're still talking 40BC. Nri Kingdom precedes anything in Igodomigodo but Nri kingdom came much much later in Igbo history. Findings from Igbo excavation sites have revealed works from a millenium before. Igodomigodo, Ife were much later immigrations. If we scrutinize Igodomigodo we would find heavy influence from the much older Igbo group. Influences you won't like to see.

Atigba:
Most of Igbo town and communities were founded in 15, 16 and 17 centuries.

Igbo has been discovered to have existed a millennium BC. Today ordinary Benin go dey talk rubbish. Saying Igbo groups came out from them, what nonsense.

Every Igbo clan pre existed Igodomido, that's what revisionists like you on NL don't know. The Igbo are the oldest known group in the Nigerian space today. Get that into your cranium.

Fight to the death.

Abagworo:
Very shameful of Wike to impose ancestry upon himself for unknown reasons. In genetics phenotype is the first and most visible aspect of genetic inheritance before verification using DNA. The shape of Wike's head alone gives him away as of a core Igbo ancestry without any mix.

Lwkmd.

It will never come to reality.

MelesZenawi:
Whatever the Idiot wrote that it is his perception of Igbos is his own cup of tea and that of his people...

He should simply serve and shut his mouth or establish if the environment is favourable to him...

The op should also ask igbos about their perception of them, abi na igbos sent FULANI to be clubbing in Benue since last 4 years...

everybody has one yeye perception or the other because igbo man owns una anything....nonsense and buhari..

every nonsense is now journalism..



Who your perception epp?

last time it was Gambari, today na adejoh

the whole stuff is becoming stale..

No mind the fool and him ilk. As if we're owing them anything. Useless people.

Francis95:
I am Igbo from Anambra. I only got to know that there are tribes called Etche, Ikwerre and Ekpeye because I am schooling in Uniport. Here in Onitsha nobody knows what is Ikwerre or Etche.

Our people don't care, seriously.

Wow! Best news this week!

24SEVEN:
Igbo Amaka

See 24SEVEN dey claim Igbo ooooooo.
