proxillin:
All black Americans where there as slaves.

Obama as a Blackman is not shameful...

Black Americans lost their cultures. But Africans in Cuba, Brazil still held on to their culture. Yoruba are known for that.

U know Igbo language is going on extinction even here in nigeria

Skanas:
Though am Igbo but I honestly hate your last statement. Are you trying to spark off an e-fight btw the yorubas and Igbo Not good bro....
As per your post the husband is very immature to have to humiliate the wife in public. The Agbor pips are those referred to as bendel-Igbo in the past and delta-Igbo of recent.If they say they are or they are not Igbo let them be. So long as say dem gree say dem be "9JA", e don do me hoha!!!
#my2cents....#proudly9ja!!!

proxillin:
Jealousy and hate. Yoruba are in these countries too.however, both Yoruba and Igbo are not dominating here.

Have you gone to Cuba before ? Yoruba is like a third language in Cuba. They have even mixed Yoruba words with Spanish. Their are people who now take ifa as a religion.

Go to Togo Yoruba 1 third of the population. That's why FG is sending teachers to these countries.

You guys are always jealous of Yoruba. That's why you claim to own Lagos. You always want what we want.

Twistaray:
That's because I hate lies.
You can choke that and if you want more fact.
I will be willing to bombard u with more.
Cowards yeeboo

illiad:
My Brother I just felt sorry for the wife. I told the guy that it is not his fault maybe them dash am the woman so im no no her value. I tell am say them never born am well make e come south east come marry woman come dey treat am like that. In fact I even tell the guy say no be im type they marry Igbo woman. I kept asking him why he didn't marry urhobo woman. Every Nigerian wants to marry an Igbo woman, as if that's not enough this SOBO man want to convert an Igbo woman to sobo

Men these Sobo people are really pathetic.

oloworulz:
my bro , u are right. This Igbo ppul are d problem of nigeria. Even in Europe, they are very noisy , especially when they have small money they got through dubious ways. I just pray they vacate this Lagos and go back to their land. Very stupiid set of ppul. All of them have been brainwashed. U need to see d way they reason. Although , there still some very few reasonable ones

My Urhobo Neighbor Is Threatening His Agbor Wife, Because She Insisted She Is Igbo!

It was workers day and everyone was at home. So the men gathered and ordered for drinks and we all sit and drank SMS joked and argued and played, ordering drinks one after the other. Then along the line came the argument of identity and I ask my neighbor which is his tribe. At first he was reluctant not being bold enough to represent his tribe. So I told him proudly that I am Igbo from one of the south eastern states. That was when he summoned courage to say he was Urhobo.

I said Ok and asked him where the Urhobos migrated from. He could not answer. So I told him that the Urhobo are from the bini kingdom, that they are probably a part of slaves who escaped from bini kingdom. He said the binis actually came out of Urhobo. I insisted that binis have even a deeper historic existence than the Urhobo who have no known history at all. That it is not possible for the bini kingdom to have emanated from the urhobo people with such a historic background while the Urhobos have no know recorded history.

Later the argument moved to niger delta. And I told him that half of niger delta is Igbo. He said his wife is agbor and niger delta but not Igbo.

So I told him to call his wife. That if his wife could come out here where I am seated and say to my hearing that she is not an Igbo woman I would wash my hands off the argument and wish her well in her new found identity.

He brought out his phone and started calling his wife. Though his apartment was only a few yards from where we were seated. Meaning he could just have called out the wife from where we were seated.


After calling for a while and the wife didn't come out we continued on other arguments until suddenly then wife
Came out. Then I asked the man to be the one to ask his wife the Question. So confidently he ask his wife saying 'are you Igbo?' And the wife responded "Before nko, I be Urhobo, abi i be huasa? I am Igbo. Which kind question you dey ask me?" The man was visibly angry, so he stood up and called the wife aside and begin to ask her again and the woman was rather pissed-off because she kept saying to the husband "shey you no know say I be Igbo before? Are you saying I should deny where I come from?"

Before you know o, this Urhobo man begin to threaten the wife. The woman just dey look the man in utter dismay. I was so pissed off. And I told the guy that he is an illiterate because I don't see why he would want his wife to deny her ancestry.

Pls we Igbos should do something to keep our brothers and sisters across the niger together before urhobo&itshekiri rewrite their history.


Please I want everyone from Agbor to come up here and declare his or her ancestry.

Please yorubas wannabes should keep off with their cloned identities.

tobtap:
well my ex is from agbor and she understands igbo but claims they are not ibos... but from my research and her stories most of them are not originally ibos but migrated from benin(based on their SURNAMES).her surname sound more edoISH/urhobo/ishekiri than ibo...she doesnt like been called ibo though... kinda funny

Ohhh really?

Let me show you the real coward in reality and not on NL

Oya take :



Colonel Oyinlade Iluyomade (rtd) is a civil war veteran, renowned for his role in curtailing the onslaught of the Biafran army at Ore, Ondo State.

Your role during the civil war, particularly how you curtailed the onslaught of the Biafran soldiers at Ore has been spoken about by fellow military men like General Alabi Isama, what exactly happened at the war front?

When the civil war commenced around June to July 1967, I was based in Ibadan where I commanded a small unit. But I joined the military in 1952 with Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida and Sani Abacha, who were my colleagues. I was sent to India for military training to be commissioned as Infantry, that is, to fight wars. The war started from the north, but it got to a point when the Biafran soldiers wanted to break through and conquer the West, they believed that if they conquered the West, it would be easy for them to manoeuvre their way through to the North. So, they wanted to break through Ore into the West, then straight to Lagos. But, at the beginning of August, I was despatched to Ore village to act as Security Officer, to ensure internal security and, to make the civilians aware of the presence of the federal troops. I was there with 33 soldiers. Later, Biafra captured Mid West, and arrived in Benin. This meant that their next target was the West. So I was told by then Colonel Olusegun Obasanjo, who was the Commander in Ibadan, to move to Ore border, which is about 19 miles to Ore village. Then, I moved there that night but I told Obasanjo that I was ill-equipped to curtail the Biafran attack. What can 33 soldiers do? So, he promised to reinforce and he did keep to his promise. Then, our total strength grew to 179 soldiers to defend the place.

I had premonition of danger and when I got to Ore, I deployed my troops towards the Western region. The bridge at Ofosu was the boundary, so I went ahead to survey the area to know the mountainous and forested areas. And I deployed my troops, so if there would be an attack on the West, they would have to cross the bridge. So I safeguarded the bridge and gave my troops instruction not to allow anybody cross over. By that time, there was an instruction that I shouldn’t allow anybody into the West.

After deployment of troops, I rose up from my trench at about 12 midnight, it started to rain heavily, but I told the troops not to leave their trenches. So, we dug in. Then, when I saw the skyline of the vehicles of the Biafran soldiers coming towards us, I shouted that no one should fire except me. And the battle started minutes past midnight. But the bridge was so heavy that they could not penetrate. If they had known that we had a small number, maybe they could have made the effort to penetrate. So we confused them, the place was well secured and we never lost any soldier.



One can deduce from your exploits then that you were proactive and strategic in battle, do you observe such qualities in today’s military operation?

I was the only officer, the others were other ranks so I commanded them. I don’t know how the current Army is deployed and how they work. But, the way I look at them now, I would not want to comment but they know how they operate. But, in our own days, we were tough and well-trained; we were dedicated and had the ability to withstand any odd.
Are these qualities lacking in today’s Army?

I would not say they are lacking. I think money now has a great role to play. Money is used to dampen soldiers’ professionalism. If soldiers know that money is now so much available, you can understand their current thinking. Moreover, those who fought well during the civil war were not compensated. Those that did not fight at all were the ones promoted. Those who ran away were promoted. I would not want to mention names.



I recall you once complained that you were never promoted to the position of a General?

I was not promoted, even to the position of a full Colonel. Maybe because I am a Yoruba man, I can say this boldly anywhere. Look at what happened to late Benjamin Adekunle, for example. Who fought the civil war more than Adekunle? But, he was neglected, Why? The exception was Akinrinade that managed to become the Chief of Army Staff. Ariyo was driven away, someone just placed a letter on his table that he was retired; he never saw the person. What offence did he commit? Just because he was Yoruba; so many Yorubas, like that, were neglected. Nothing was given to us. It is very terrible.

The force is dominated by the north and they want to continue to enjoy the largesse of the military. They claim that Yorubas have many engineers, lawyers, doctors and other professionals hence we should not wrest the military from the Northerners. We are still angry with how we were treated; we just bottled it up. And from the beginning till end of the war, people like me never left the war front. I was one of the five brigade commanders that ended the war.



You have bottled up your anger for so long, is it time for you to let out this anger as you now have a fellow soldier, also from the North, now elected as President?

No, Buhari is a nice man, he is a fellow military man. He is an amiable man, a very nice man, plain-hearted, a gentle man to the core. I know him.



You seem to know Buhari so well, can you tell us more about the Buhari that you know.

I worked with Buhari when we were together in Marine Commando. He was GOS next to the General Officer Commanding and I was Divisional Training Officer, I was training and teaching other ranks. That was where I met Buhari. He was very nice, amiable to people. He was also a wonderful Head of State and he is a disciplinarian. He does not condone nonsense and I love him.



You have claimed to love Buhari so much, however, Nigerians would only love him so well if he lives up to expectations. Do you think he can live up to the high expectations of Nigerians?

Why not? To become a Major, you are well-read, hence you can tackle any problem. Mobolaji Johnson was a Major when he was appointed Administrator of Lagos. To become a major, you would have passed through the Staff College, attended several trainings, taken exams, attended different courses, partook in seminars to brush you up and acquire intelligence. Military men also read personally. I have a personal library where I have good books. I read on military, politics, philosophy among other aspects of life. Winston Churchhill read up to Class 4 and became the Prime Minister of Britain and the whole Commonwealth. And he led the Commonwealth military to victory. Adolf Hitler read only up to Form 2 level and he wanted to conquer and rule the whole world. What audacity other than the fact that he read wide. It is not about having a PhD; what is PhD to us? We read wide.

Do you canvass for the inclusion of retired military men in the new government?

Yes. For example, if I become a minister in Buhari’s government, my ministry will shine. Consider Brigadier General Samuel Ogbemudia in Bendel, he developed Bendel. Which governor has developed Bendel, now Edo State, the way Ogbemudia did till date? None. He was a military man. Back then, money was not the issue, but we fought to win the war. It was about being a real man.

What about fears that the dictatorial tendencies of military men, if largely involved, will be laid bare in our democratic practice?

The world is civilised and there is no more dictatorship. Democracy is practised around the world now. There is no country that practices dictatorship that will progress. A civilian should come up with policies that are beneficial but where the civilians fail, there may be the need for. For example, there is no reason all roads in the country should not be tarred. We should have water, electricity. Why can’t we have adequate power supply in the country? We lack dynamic leaders. We have voted them in now. Rather than for some of them to better the country, they will be after enriching themselves. What for? It is out of lack of imagination. But, I have confidence that Buhari will deliver. I can shout on top of my voice about this.

I would never have guessed at first that Don Jazzy was from Ukwuani, he is in the forefront of Igbo affairs in the music industry. Uti Nwachukwu is another proud Igbo.

victor1464:

wadetaw202:
Despite all these, Igbo's still remain wanderers!!! It is like something is findamentally wrong with this people.

Funjosh:
He is dead. Died July 1991

bigfrancis21:
Tony, ignore the chap, he is seeking for cheap attention. Look to the who is who in ukwuani who realize the identity folly and know they are Igbo. It is the irrelevant cheap rats that seek to make the most noise about their identity. Their noise hardly goes beyond their circle and deep down many of them know they are Igbo. They derive immense joy in denying being Igbo, and to gather cheap attention. What matters is what academic sources say and that they are an Igbo group.

victor1464:
wether u like it or not ukwuani will not join igbo or biafra.both tribes cant work together. There will be much arguments/ between them. D ukwuani man/igbo man has never agreed just lika dat of d igbo man and ikwere man.period... Igbos must learn to organize their 5states B4 talkin about claimin niger delta people. Igbo r just too rude and lacks respect for other tribes dat is y its difficult for an igbo to rule Nigeria . Igbos r now claimin lagos state. I fear una.. Everytin is not money and selfishness. No wonder ikwere,epkeye,ukwuani,ika dont like to support d igbo man when he speaks despite his popularity... Ur people must learn to repect people or else they will soon be Forced out of lagos,portharcourt etc

Only brave men builds great empires which the yoruba did unlike your fore fathers who were only good at eating humans.
Heck! You Ibos don't even have ancestral history, you don't know where your projenitors came from. No wonder you people keep attaching to the Israelites. What a shame!

Shirley07:
Fool like me won't know the Biafrans passed through Benin-Ore road enroute to Lagos. They wanted to invade and capture Lagos the way they invaded Benin. We omo odua are Bunch of thieves and cowards.
