Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Christians Practice Ritual Cannibalism? by Swiftgrp: 2:06pm On Oct 03, 2023
leanonme82:
The use of human skulls for rituals is practised in southern Nigeria, the SouthEast inclusive.

Still doesnt change the fact that igbos ancestors were cannibals. In this article, white people were analyzing the backwardness of the society as it related to its discrimination against light and dark complexioned people and they noted that mbaise igbos ate a white man in 1906. What a shameful culture.

The #3 point in the alleged post by
Kperogi cannot be true. Adekunle is only used by males among the
Yorubas. So, CSU couldn't have admitted a female called Bola Adekunle Tinubu.

Kperogi is a Bariba (one of the 3 indigenous ethnicities in Kwara State. Yoruba and Nupes being the two others) so, it is inconceivable that Kperogi who grew up in a predominantly Yoruba-speaking state with 12 of the 16 LGAs belonging to Yorubas does NOT know this fact!

This rushed FB post alleged to be from Farooq will have to be verified for authenticity.

I hope he does doesn't sue the University. The University was following a court order and their hands were a bit tied. They never wanted to get involved but Atiku kept pressing.
I like the fact that you attached
the screenshot of the attorney's (Cohen) comment showing that the release of Donald Trump's academic details is a violation of U.S. Federal laws.

President Tinubu won't sue Chicago State University though. What is needed from here on out is the enforcement of U.S. and Nigerian laws to severely punish online forgeries and fake news, cyberbullying and criminal defamation of innocent personalities by the ethnic bigots and online mob who are majorly of
Ibo origin.

CSU is very dear to President
Tinubu haven received an award at a ceremony in 2001 from CSU (while he was the Lagos State Governor) for distinguishing himself as a successful technocrat and politician within a short time after graduation in 1979 with a First Class Honours degree.

We warned you people that Tinubu objecting to release of his records does not mean he has anything to hide and that it was in fact his duty to distract the clueless opposition and keep them busy.

In yoruba we call it “arodan”. Meaning Sending someone on a false errand to distract or keep them busy knowing they can not fulfill the errand you sent them or they will suffer in the course of the errand.

Arodon was a standard initiation for all new form 1 student at my boarding school. You would send a junior to go collect a fake book by “J.F omotoyiogbon” from a senior upon which the student would collect a slap or other punishment. Not knowing there is no book and “Omotoyiogbon” means “the child without a brain”. You will collect the slap and be sent to another senior saying why are you coming to me the book is with another senior and so you will go from one senior to another collecting slaps. The quicker you learnt it was a fools errand the better for you. Many students collected multiple slaps before they wised up.

Atiku is collecting multiple slaps because he didn’t wise up from chasing Buhari’s school certificate in 2019!

We have a saying in yoruba land that the child that refuses to learn at home will learn outside through humiliation.
Arodan... Lol.

Anyone who starts insulting people
just to make a point is mentally ill and suffering from inferiority problem.

First I would ask you where you do live before we can continue this conversation.

You call Uzodimma names and forgot that it was same Supreme Court that made Peter Obi Governor and so many others, or you are telling us that PDP who were not comfortable with the decision of the Court are responsible for the carnage in Imo state, if not, how else do you send you message without an indictment on them.

Many States in Nigeria have Governors through Supreme Court, most recently is the Bayelsa State, have they destroyed their state?

Anyone who tells you that Anambra is peaceful is rather living in fools paradise.

Elections did not hold at Ihiala and most parts of Anambra South, did they tell you why?

Orsu LGA is more of Anambra than Imo, it’s just boundary adjustment that ceded them to IMO, and that’s where the war is situated, have you asked questions?

Many occasions, military and innocent people have been attacked at Izombe, Orlu, Orsu, Ihiala and other parts of Imo, you didn’t come out to show your folly, when the military retaliated, it became your worry.

The military are not human, the innocent people. Wind killed and maimed are not worth to live by your law and standard.

In same Orsu, A Reverend Father was killed for protecting his students writing WAEC, you didn’t see that a crime Aba affront?

A man had his dick chopped off by these same ESN criminals in same Orsu because he was a politician, that wasn’t an issue too.

Talking about other States, let me remind you that Iko nso the leader of ESN hailed from IMO and as such they made IMO their headquarters and same state they attacked prison facility and released all inmates who are today members of IPOB/ESN terrorizing the State and area.

Next time, before you want to be mad in public, get your facts. #Bastard

If anyone had told me before now that Igboland would denigrate to the point of cannibalism all in the quest for self determination, I would curse anyone with such thoughts and perception about my people.

If anyone had informed that we would be capable of creating what we cannot control or regulate, I would invoke the wrath of the gods upon them.

Today, ala Igbo burns and yet we still pretend and play politics over the destructions, killings, bloodsheds, human barbecue and cannibalism.

Parts of Imo state and Anambra State are no longer livable due to the menace and atrocities of the criminals enlisted as Eastern Security Networks, armed wing of the proscribed IPOB as founded by Nnamdi Kanu.

Many of these ESN were those who escaped from prison and other never do wells.

They have turned the South East into a war zone and people are being killed and fed upon with others kidnapped.

The evil going on in Orsu and Ihiala are less reported.

Igboland is burning and no one cares.

The book he wrote is entitled "Among the Ibos of Southern Nigeria" by Reverend George T. Basden who lived and worked as a reknowned missionary in Onitsha.

OR

2] Go to Pdfdrive.com and put the title of the book in the search box.

Go to the appendix and index section of any online or hardcopy book and look for a specific topic (cannibalism, Ofala festival, Ifa divination, etc), and the exact page it is located on for faster reading.

Easy peasy!

President 'Bola Tinubu will easily scale the very low hurdle here.
The U.S. court case is a blessing in disguise that will favor Tinubu when the CSU docs are released again. Though there is a U.S. privacy law on the release of Uni academic docs to third parties, it is good to let people have the non-invasive docs as the court has clearly stated just to shut the bigoted, headless mobs up.

Atiku was just on an ego-trip because of the normal pain of not clinching the Presidency which would have enabled him to deal ruthlessly with some folks who are his perceived opponents. OBJ too openly supported Obi because of his ego-based hatred for Atiku and Tinubu.

Even in 2001 CSU gave the then
Governor Bola Tinubu an award for distinguishing himself rapidly as a
Technocrat and in the political sphere as a Chicago State University First Class (Hon) graduate.

The award ceremony picture by CSU can still be found online and on NL.

You are absolutely right about the book reference to Ibos engaging in eating human beings (cannibalism) well after 1900 in areas outside of
Onitsha by Rev. George T. Basden.
That book on Ibos by Rev. Basden was first read by me many years ago.

Achebe also wrote about the white man riding on a bicycle, who was killed and eaten by the Ibo locals east of Onitsha in his book Things Fall Apart. That event actually happened in history.

That white man was a doctor by the name of Dr. Stewart who was killed in 1906 by the Ibo locals and eaten in the Mbaise area. His bicycle was hung on a tree by the savage locals to prevent it from running away. Because of that episode, the
British sent a punitive expedition to the Mbaise area in the current
Imo State in 1906.

Nnamdi Azikiwe went to America in early '20s and by 1927 he already have his first degree from American University! Why didn't you post his naked picture since your dumb mind tells you all Igbos were running around naked during that period?

His kid picture below (where he is putting on suits) was taken around 1913. By the way, he was born in 1904!
The person you quoted is right to a large extent, but Nnamdi was fully dressed because of the early exposure of Onitsha people. Read Reverend George Basden's popular book on Ibos entitled [Among the
Ibos of Nigeria] and his time living in Onitsha while helping to
transform the people. The book can also be downloaded for free online in PDF format.


Rev. George Basden also wrote about the eating of human beings [cannibalism] well after 1900 by Ibo tribes outside the Onitsha area in present Anambra and how his new Ibo Christian converts from those areas had confessed to him to haven been involved in eating captured human beings as food.

So, even right up to the late 1940s, Some male and female Ibos still dressed half-naked in their traditional settings with only a small parchment (looking a bit like g-string) to cover a bit of their
lower private parts. The Ibo women still went about without covering their breasts (upper bodies).

Only those who had the Western church influences wore cloths but many had no shoes on them based on the pictures I have seen of Northern and Southern Nigeria ethnicities.

I have an archival publication that had pictures of Ibo people near the Udi area in the late 1940s (1949) who were half-naked and had just the loin parchment that Achebe clearly wrote about in his book.

The Colonialists who frowned upon half-unclothedness by some locals eventually made laws for all these people to be dressed up eventually by covering up their upper and lower bodies.

The pic is not dated but shows a young half-naked Ibo woman.

The metal rings or coils on her legs are of Igala origin (based on the
Colonial books and pictures I have read and seen years back), so that pic was taken in today's Anambra or Enugu States where Igala ethnic ancestries and influences exist.

Even the Igala red chieftaincy cap was first introduced by the Igalas into the Nsukka area going back to 500 years of Igala ethnic presence in those two states.

Irrespective of what the release of the results may reveal, Tinubu will not be scarred by it. But President Tinubu should see this as a reason to extend an olive branch to the opposition and the various stakeholders.
First he should remove Cardozo as the CBN chief and give the cabal it's right of selecting the individual they want. Wale Edun and Dele Alake too must be replaced.

Second, he should discontinue with the planned release of the findings of the CBN inquiry.

Third, after some months, he should order the EFCC to begin an investigation into the activities of the inquiry team and especially zero-in on the special investigator, Jim Obazee. He should make sure this man gets at least five years with hard labour.

If he does a few of these and more, things might begin to look up for his administration.
