Are u igbo? If u are, ask ur parents or any older person in ur family, they Wil quickly tell u that onitsha indigens r not igbos. Their rulership, their marriage rites, their burial rites, their mascurades, their traditional clothes n attire are very different from thaf of igbos.

If ur not igbo, den take what I told u without arguments.

classic onitsha statements that I heard several times while i did my Nysc in anambra is "Nwa Onye igbo" and "Do u think we are igbos who don't go to skol"

This prompted me to ask my mother who d onitsha people really are, she told be they are settlers from Edo state...Old Bini empire.

They have ""Obi of onitsha"" which is culled from "oba of benin"

Have u ever heard about obi of enugu or obi of nnewi or obi of abakiliki

Hmmmm this is the highest form of stupidity I have seen ..so obi is culled from oba ..nawa


Then oni is called from onye which is Igbo

When you think you have seen idiocy on nairaland and other one Luke this catapult you to another upgraded foolery

Insolence? Doesn't that fit more with you, who comes into a thread that is not your concern, to bait Yorubas (yet hope not to be used to wipe the floor)?

Why are you using foul word on a great Monday morning

Which one is more predictable: 2 humans having a discussion and a bunch of monkies jumping in and chattering; and yet hope not to be skinned and roasted? If you don't want the discussion to shift to you, keep your monkey @sses out of it.

Oga this is a new week and it will be bad if you start it with curses and insolence .....don't you look forward to a positive week?

Cowards Jst like ur leader ojukwu ran away during d civil war and made his people being slaughtered like rams.


Wen south west talks d whole country shakes, u can see dat d former governor didn't boda to comment abt d igbos Biafra agitation, cus he knows dat u pple ar cowards and un serious elements.


If u ar literate, u will know dat he was only appealing to yorubas not to start killing d fulanis, saying it wasn't by dia choice to state rearing cattle. Dat yorubas should join hands knowing fully well dat yorubas cherish education to help encourage dem.

Which part of the write up suggests "shut up"?

Nigerian journalism and sensationalism.

What effort did Kwankwaso made to educate his kinsmen when he was the governor of kano state?

Read in between the lines Oga

princemillla:
If truly kwankwanso said yoruba should shut up, then he is so foolish.

I wonder if Nigeria will experience any developments under these abokis. They are just too dumb for my liking. Jesss

Who will bet ?

iiiyyyk:
Former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has told Yoruba leaders, threatening to sack Fulani herdsmen from the South-West geo-political zone to ‘shut up’, saying such utterances could thwart efforts to achieve a peaceful Nigeria.
He disclosed this in a chat with newsmen in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, at the official opening of a N40 million prefabricated structure, comprising two-bedroom and three-bedroom flats donated by Vitafoam Nigeria Plc to the Government College, Ibadan, to mark the jubilee celebration of 1965 to 1971 set.
Prominent Yoruba leaders had two weeks ago risen from an emergency summit in Ibadan, and handed a red card to Fulani herdsmen in the South-West.
In the communiqué issued at the end of the summit, they sought for an end to Fulani herdsmen grazing in Yorubaland and directed all nomadic herdsmen to wind up their activities. The summit was held against the backdrop of the recent kidnapping of Chief Olu Falae, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation by Fulani herdsmen.
But Kwankwaso, a Fulani from Kano State, said crises between farmers and Fulani herdsmen are not peculiar to the South-West, adding that that the same issues recur in northern Nigeria, Niger Republic, Chad and Cameroun are not an exception.
Kwankwaso said sacking Fulani herdsmen from the South-West is not the solution, but all and sundry must understand the situation.
His words: “It is not only peculiar to the South-West. We just have to have a lot of understanding of the situation. Some of the issues being raised by the people, especially politicians, do not help anybody. If you sack the Fulani from here or you fight them, maybe it is because you are here. If you are a Yoruba man based in Kano, I don’t think you can contemplate sacking the Fulani. I am from Kano, but right now, I am in Ibadan. Where you are is your home. Today, Ibadan is my home. God forbid, if something bad happens here, it will affect me. If it happens in my village, I am not there; they won’t see me.
“I want people to go round Nigeria to know that everybody has got land. It is good for people to go round, at least, this country or beyond to realise that Nigerians are Nigerians; everybody comes from somewhere. But it is good for us to go round to see other places, to understand them, interact with them so that we can have a very peaceful Nigeria. This is what we are working for. So, when you see those people making the threats in the South-West, advise them to shut up.”
On the solution to the incessant crises between local farmers and Fulani herdsmen, Kwankwaso, called for their education. “I am Fulani. My parents settled many years ago. My father went to school and I have been to school. My children have gone to school. Now, I don’t think I will get cattle and go into a forest; that is education for you.”

greenprayer:
There’s this girl in my department, same level. We’re very good friends who flirt a lot and equally share the same dreams.

In fact, most of the activities we’ve carried out in school were all her ideas. She’s just all over me and attached herself so much in my future. She sometimes jokingly says she wants to marry me. People recommended that we are going to make a good couple. So, I then thought of all of these and how compatible we are, I then took the bold step to ask her out. She only responded that she has a boyfriend and we should drop the dating discussion for now since we’re still best of friends and we have
enough time to talk about it. I dropped it. After sometimes, she started complaining that she doesn’t like my being strange. I told her I loved her so much, she replied via chat “I understand but I love my boyfriend, he’s the best part of me”.

Please help me with what to do. I love her and I want to marry her. She knows but the only challenge now is her boyfriend.

What should I do?

It's simple ...go and make money ...she will come back begging

trapQ:
There are 66 books in the "holy bible". Any other catholic or jewish book isn't accepted.

Nothing should be added or subtracted from the bible. There are also books eg the "book of mormon" which some orthodox churches use that are demonic. Theologians teach that those books are occultic, are not part of the law and didn't come from the lord. The holy bible with 66 books is the ONLY accepted book in christianity.

Who even gave you the bible ..is it not catholic and in council of nici...maybe that your Pentecostal church is bigger and older than catholic

johnydon22:


Oh but there is actually. . . Book of Sirach is a deuterocanonical book along side tobit, esdras and many of them..

Written by Jesus son of Sirach. . . You can find it in a catholic bible or a jewish traditional scripture..

Quit decieving your self, I have friends in southafrica who keep asking me about calabar, wishing they were there. Calabar is beautiful, I mean. I don't see my self going to edo state.. For what na? Do cross river have potential, yes they do.. Infact tourism wise, calabar is nigeria's first... Beautiful streets and geography.

Bro don't let ur ego make u look stupid.

But why argue with people that don't know

Who compared edo with calabar ...only Mary slessor avenue and duke town has floored all that EDI got from uromi to Egor to ogida to siluko

I don't want to talk about ugep and obudu

When I thought that stupidity has been seen in nairaland ..what you are displaying is an upgraded pristine stupidity ....if you know me well you will know that I am Igbo history ..for your info we do not have obi of abakiliki for a start


Tell me how Onitsha are not Igbo ...from culture to language to names ..just tell me

chuna1985:
It's a lie.

Many different groups makes up yoruba. Yoruba language is more or else a language that unifies all of them. Ijebu is one of those groups n there are many more (I don't remember their names) u can read about dem later, some came from Sudan too (A Yoruba traditional ruler said so some 3 months ago).

Even in igbo land; onitsha people are not igbos, same goes with Enugu Ezike + many more.

So who told u that Onitsha are not Igbo ...I wonder how you people reason

Tell me non Igbo names Onitsha bear

9jacrip:
And when about a handful of men ambushed about hundreds of Biafran soldiers at Ore, did you regard it as heroic?

You lot know how to twist and turn whenever you're boxed up in a corner.

Accepted 30 men ambushed one man, why didn't one man go back to reinforce abi nor be una be brave race?

Handful...that's what they told you


Well


Ignorance is bliss


Bask in it

Until u encourage ur sisters or girlfriend to pick a form n contest then complain not. Igbos are quite adventurous andd they jump into opportunities easily.

moscow37d:
So recent Biafran protests have got me thinking, but I have been skeptical about airing my views because of perceived reactions.

DISCLAIMER: THESE ARE PERSONAL VIEWS, AND I, IN NO WAY CLAIM SUPREMACY OF KNOWLEDGE. FOR THE "GREYS" WHO THINK I AM TOO YOUNG TO SPEAK OF THIS SUBJECT, PLEASE PERMIT THIS CHILD TO SPEAK, THEN CORRECT HIM IF HE IS WRONG. FOR IGNORANCE CAN ONLY BE KNOWN IF IT IS AIRED, AND CAN ONLY BE CORRECTED IF IT IS KNOWN.

My points are as follows:

1. According to worldometers the median age of Nigeria is 17.8, hence an "average " did not experience the civil war.

2.This is the age statistics of Nigeria as at 2014 is as follows:
0-14 years: 43.2%
15-24 years: 19.3%
25-54 years: 30.5%
55-64 years: 3.9%
65 years and over: 3.1% (indexmundi.com)
In simpler statistics 93% of Nigerians were 5 and below in 1967.

3. According to Wikipedia, youth age range is between 18-35. Hence no present day Nigerian youth saw the civil war.

My first question: since over 90% percent of us neither saw the civil war nor participated actively, and our youth were born 10 years after the war, where is all the hate and agitation from?

4. The major driving force of Biafra is the igboland, but the Biafran map includes states like Cross river, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom state. This makes Biafra a culturally diverse state. I am igbo and i currently live in Akwa Ibom state, and we share no similarity in custom or language. How then can we live together as "one Biafra" when we can't tolerate the cultural diversity of Nigeria.

5. The Igbo tribe would become the majority tribe in Biafra, while the others who constitute the oil producing states hence the 'rich boys' would become minority. "How can the wealth most especially that from oil be distributed, when the majority is in power and the minority have the resource?"
So therefore, a time may come when the "minority" may decide to be free, because no man wants to live in another man's shadow.

6. Igbos are generally regarded as traders, and the lifeblood of their markets like Onitsha Main market and Ariaria international market is found in Lagos seaport where most of the goods come from. In Biafra, Lagos becomes another country hence tax and import/ export levies would increase drastically and logistics would become more difficult.
The other option is to trade via the Calabar Port, Delta Port or Rivers Port at Port Harcourt, and Onne. These ports are only found in the non-igbo states, hence another potential challenge.

7. What happens to Biafrans that have their livelihood rooted deeply in non biafran states? What happens to the igbos that constitute the majority of Alaba international market?
Would naturalization take place or would they liquidate assets and return to Biafra and start afresh?

8. Finally, the question of rulership. Who rules Biafra?
Currently, most Igbo people especially those in Abia and Imo state are dissatisfied with the condition of their states. They complain of bad government, massive looting, poor infrastructures etc, and they are currently ruled by Igbo governors.
If Biafra is formed who would rule then?
I believe it would be the same people that they complain of, and as you can see the cycle of pain and complaints would continue.

Problems are fixed by inward reflections not outward projections and blame shifting.

PLEASE BEAR WITH ME, FOR A CHILD WHO DID NOT SEE THE WAR HAS SPOKEN.

One thing is that this report is biased and another thing is that you are not Igbo....pls stop whining....

Tell us the difference in Ibibio culture and igbo

I know that most of us can't understand this part of bible and many have not come across this part of bible

The book of sirach

Chapter 25

On the issue of divorce and women

21 Never lose your head over a woman's beauty, and don't try to win a woman because she is wealthy.

22 When a man is supported by his wife, there is sure to be anger, arrogance, and humiliation.

23 A bad wife will make her husband gloomy and depressed, and break his heart. Show me a timid man who can never make up his mind, and I will show you a wife who doesn't make her husband happy.

24 Sin began with a woman, and we must all die because of her.

25 Don't let a bad wife have her way, any more than you would allow water to leak from your cistern. 26 If she won't do as you tell her, divorce her.
