i think the problem was awolowo making them think the igbo are their rivals. i will explain.
with the end of the war, as well as the imporvishment of the igbo, they did not feel any need to bucle up.
then there is the indigenization policy that just gave them money on a platter, i wonder if they even repayed the loans they used in buying up thoses multinationals then.

they settled down to party and to drink.

the thing with kids, they are only good at learning by observation. the present generation of yoruba youths learnt their trade by watching their fathers party away with abandon.

igbo youths on the other hand learnt the dignity of labour form their parents hell bent on recovering. my father made money so fast, we never lacked anything, in fact we even had a measure of luxury but he taught us stuff. i mean, they will deliberately starve us until 3pm on some days before we eat breakfast. some other times, we had to even 'work" for our feeding (by making us stay in my mamas shop - and we only eat after we have sold a certain amount of money). we are talking about the 80s when we already had a number of buildings to my fathers name, when he was already driving a V-Boot (a luxury car then) and my mother a 505.

they taught us fairplay. we were all made to eat from the same bowl. it was turn by turn all six of us (then) gatered around a mass of eba and soup. they will deliberately put only 4 piece of meat in the soup spo that we will share. the rule was who ever does the sharing of the meat will pick his/her piece the last.

those things are deliberate parenting skills they unleashed on us, in fact i was at a friends place only to see the guy using the same "agabari" for his children.

accross the fence, we will see even the mothers of our yoruba neighbours calling mama put to buy food for their kids.

i shudder at what the next generation of yoruba youths will be like.

So it happened to you..my own case was dad will tell you that as a man you have to work during holidays in primary school he will take us to work with his staff we will work, we were kids though we might not do anything but we will not play balls ..we will stay in his 504 GL Till evening guarding the instruments... When he was paying his staffs he paid us


We also learnt trading and business from mum ranging from hollandis etc

So you experienced that



This was 80s

Ofodirinwa:
Kanu is very necessary. He's a radical. He's not here to be agreed with, or easy to listen to but he's forcing people to think about those things that aren't easy to listen to and not agreeable. If left to their own devices people will only learn what's easy to their ears and what allows them to sleep easy at night. Nobody wants to believe there is a historic siege against them because of their ethnicity, even if it's the truth, because it's burdensome to acknowledge. Today whether people wanted to know it or not, I have never seen a larger number of aware Igbo people. The average Radio Biafra listener is going to feel ashamed building a factory in Kaduna and Akure. Whether he likes Kanu or not, his rhetoric has brought a revolution in Igbo thinking.

He's a radical. You're not supposed to agree with radicals, that's what makes them radical, but their dynamism always changes the way people think. Prior to Radio Biafra, getting an Igbo person to think Igbo first was an uphill battle because we can be very narrow minded and myopic. He has brought this narrow mindedness to light. Even if you're offended by him calling you narrow minded or ignorant, that offense will make you think twice before taking on narrow minded behaviors.

From your submission Daniel is making sense but the approach I think is wrong

omonnakoda:
Ikwerre did not join Biafra in the past rather they rejected it and joined Nigeria to defeat the rebels and after the war acquired abandoned property with relish.

Now the inconvenient questions that won't go away . Has Ikwerre ever apologized or reversed themselves on ABANDONED property?
If Ikwerre are indeed Eboe why then is that THE ONLY PLACE in EBOELAND where we talk of Abandoned property. Who were the Abandoners and who were the Abadonees?

The OP tries to confuse those who do not know by mixing irrelevant and unrelated facts.
Yes there are Eboe people in Rivers state eg Oyigbo. Oyigbo is Eboe and NOT Ikwerre. Now There are also Ikwerre people in Rivers state. Are Ikwerre people Eboe? Tha is forrr them to say and they have done so loudly and forcefully.

Propaganda is the mixing of truth ,half-truth and outright lies to promote mischief.
An Ikwerre man will never introduce himself as Eboe that is just falsehood

This is banana catch it and climb the tree

Really butter truth that we all should begin to ponder on. Although I differ on a few point especially the part where u said hausa's and igbo's are more united than the yoruba's. That is a fallacy. Everybody knows that the hausa's are the most united in Nigeria but then the yoruba's rank second with the igbo's coming a distant third. On laziness, of a truth the average yoruba man is not as enterprising as the folks from S.E BUT talking about education, I dont know the yardstick you are using but the yoruba's are still ahead.

IN conclusion everybody should wake up. Hausa igbo and yoruba.

I think in terms of education today it is Igbo..Igbo is the most educated tribe and also the tribe with widespread income

inlandtaipan:
Writing for Naij.com from Magodo, Lagos, Maxwell Adeyemi Adeleye says the Yoruba youths are no longer making their valuable contributions to the political and cultural life in Nigeria. What can the Yoruba people do to restore lost influence?

Lateef Raji, a public policy analyst, in an article titled “Dwindling Oil Revenue: What Next for Nigeria?” posited that today, despite the pitiful state of unemployment in Nigeria, ironically, the nation is still rated as the third destination of investors and one of the fastest-growing economy in the world. Raji noted that Nigeria is a golden land of numerous opportunities for those who are resourceful, ingenious, creative, innovative, inventive, groundbreaking, enterprising, hardworking, focused, visionary and, most significantly, disciplined.

Consequently, as a concerned Nigerian, I want to question the role(s) of Yoruba youths in the current fight against unemployment, starvation and poverty in Nigeria. This question was necessitated by my discovery through indirect observations that Yoruba youths are the most lazy, perfidious and egoistic youths in Nigeria as at today.

I discovered that the pride of an average Yoruba youth has overshadowed his intellectual judiciousness, level-headedness and sagacity. Today, among ten Nigerians submitting their resumes to multinational corporations eight would be Yorubas. Folks from my generation in the Western Nigeria are too lazy to tap from the abundant opportunities that litter the streets of, say, Lagos, for primitive accumulation of wealth.

The Igbos, and, by extension, the Niger-Deltans and the Northerners have indirectly taken over the control of economy of Lagos, Nigeria’s indisputable number one centre of success, excellence and opportunities.

The Apapa wharf in Lagos has virtually been taken over by the Easterners. The data that I got from the Nigerian custom services divulges that 63% of those licensed to transact businesses in Apapa Wharf are Igbos.

More so, data collected from licensing office reveals that owners of 56% of commercial motorcycles in Lagos are Northerners and Easterners. The lucrative transport business has been hijacked from the Yorubas.

Today, the major work of average Yoruba youths on the streets of Lagos is to collect royalty, due and charges from the Hausas and Igbos, using their motorcycles to make cool cash from their land. Ninety-five percent of transport, travel and tour firms operating in Lagos are owned by the enterprising and hardworking Easterners.

The Yorubas stay at various intersections harassing hardworking people transacting their legal businesses in the name of collecting charges and dues for the local government. I also discovered that majority of the few Yorubas riding commercial motorcycles in Lagos are locally-trained automobile engineers that have abandoned their workshops.

Furthermore, the popular Ladipo and Owode motor spare parts markets in Lagos are now solidly in the hands of Igbos. As usual, the Yoruba youths are in the market collecting dues for their local government chairmen and the Iyaloja General of Lagos. Yaba, Oyigbo, Sabo, Oshodi, Agege, Alaba, Idumota, etc. markets have been taken over by the Easterners and Northerners who are predominantly youths.

Let me also assert unequivocally that the Igbo youths are now becoming more prosperous in the entertainment industry than the Yoruba youths. Today, the Yorubas hardly tune their DSTVs to the Yoruba movie channel of the satellite television; rather, they watch some other movie channel that show English movies with actors and actresses of Igbo extraction. Why? Because most Yoruba movies are short of creativity.

I can also articulate that 85% of the CEOs and executive directors of commercial banks operating in Nigeria today are Igbos and Hausas under the age of 50. They are very talented in boardroom politics, unlike their Yoruba counterparts, and they assist each other with an amazing ease.

Educationally, the Yorubas are no longer in the top-three. According to the National Universities Commission (NUC), Anambra, Imo and Enugu have the highest number of professors and doctorate degree holders in Nigeria. Ekiti and Ondo states that used to top the list have been demoted to number four and six respectively.

In 2014, the reports of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examination Council (NECO) revealed that the Yorubas have been upturned by the Easterners in terms of academic performance. Ekiti, a state known as fountain of knowledge, was number 34 in 2013.

The Yorubas are also missing in the sports sector. The Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles, Super Eagles, Flamingoes, Falconets, Super Falcons, D’Tigers, other national teams are dominated by the Igbos and Hausas. The team that won the African Cup of Nations for Nigeria in 2013 was tagged Biafran national team by some columnists and social commentators, including myself.

Politically, the Igbos and Hausas are more united than the Yorubas. The result of the 2015 presidential election is a point of reference. The Hausas voted massively for General Buhari of the APC, while the Igbos extraordinarily voted for Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP.

Sadly, the Yorubas had no bearing during the election. Jonathan’s inner circle members are currently blaming the Yorubas for their son’s expected defeat. Victorious Buhari’s teammates are reportedly saying that the Yorubas contributed little or nothing to the success of their kinsman.

In conclusion, I want to impel my generation in the Western part of Nigeria to wake up and begin to act. The nation of Nigeria that I am seeing today is hemorrhaging. I suggest we put ourselves in strategic positions. The bitter truth is that our leaders only think for themselves and their children.

Truth is despicable and bitter but must be said and swallowed


Nice article

Oyind17:
Go sleep! liar, how come I don't understand Igbo if that's the second language spoken by those in pH. I was born and brought up in ph. Who get time for igbos here?

He has gone mad again

My name is Eze joseph timipre. I am from umusia afam OYIGBO LGA of rivers state(highest oil producing LGA and home of AFAM power plant). Why timipre(well my mum is okrika-ijaw from ogu in ogu-bolu LGA of rivers state. I am not speaking for the entire Niger Delta.1st nigeria boundry are purely political and never ethnic,the demacation between SE and SS are just concrete slabs,travellers coming to port harcourt from aba wil appreciate my argurment. Surprisingley aba is the closest major city to port harcourt both geographically and in proximity(not yenegoa,uyo or warri). What is ikwerre? Ikwerre is clan with closely bt not the same dialect (just like ngwa),with four lga: PHALGA,obio/akpor,emulga and ikwerre Lga. Ikwere is not homogenous and no one come to dis forum claiming to represent it,a 15mins drive from imo state polythecn along oweri-PH road wil lead u to elele in ikwerre LGA. I am igbo,and if nigeria disintergrate I wil wanna join biafra with my kith and kins from rivers state,their is no hatred between the real rivers indigene and SE people...infact after pigdin igbo is the secoond spoken langauge in PH and SE-igbos own many businesses in PH...SS-igbo and SE-igbo are one. I am a proud igbo man,a proud rivers-man,proud of my riverine linage and a proud nigerian Long live ndigbo. Long live wakrike(okrika nation).

IGBOPRINCE:

we will continued to confronts you if you don't stop collecting money from us. You touts.

Igbos is the only tribe you don't know whether to love them or hate them cos we lived in you and you lived in us.
You re feeling good typing gibberish here because an igbo man has created a thread to make you catch you fun.

We re not the boring type nigga. So if yoruba man behaves gentle to you. We re not stvpid like them to behaves imbecille to you.

You push me, I destroys you. No time. That s igbo man for you.
Whether all the tribes dislike us or not , we don't care, what we care is how you will patronised our products after online ranting and beefing lol.

You said igbo insistence that ikwerre re igbos will make you to hate ndigbos. Bro you re big fool, ga nodu ala. We will keep telling the whole world that ikwerre is igbos ,cos they bear igbo names and speaks our dialects lol.

What about the majority of ikwerres insisting they re igbos, why not go after them and hang yourself nigga? The likes of okwukwu and the likes of. Etc lol.


Anyway, obigbo belongs to rivers state, and they re in their lands, if they re claiming igbo identity will make you hug transformer tonight. Pls do. Cos you stink nigga.

Cc Tonychristopher, ekenedegreat, menabadoo. Where re thou?

I wouldn't have said it better than the way you presented it


Igbos are enigmatic

They hate to love us and they love to hate us


But we are not our creators


Chukwu has made us this and we must and are baskimg in it

Ndigbo have come a long way and the future remains bright, with God on their side.

The modern day Igbo is more enlightened, more technologically advanced and still a growing population. The Igbo population is spread worldwide and with a great population in Nigeria and across West Africa.

In Nigeria, Ndigbo are having success stories and progress in business sectors like trading, importation, manufacturing and technology. In the academic sector, Ndigbo do well in sciences, technology and business administration. In politics however, it seems Ndigbo are not so interested since it may be too much of a distraction to their success or relatively peaceful life.

Truth is most Igbo think of politics are a dirty game and not good for someone who wants to keep a good conscience with his God. But Ndigbo are beginning to see the importance of embracing politics for the sake of protecting their interest and way of life.

The 21st century Igbo is more intelligent, more sociable and becoming more politically conscious. He wants to be heard, seen and trusted by his neighbours. There is a time to be born a time to rise and a time to die. For Ndigbo, this is a time for re-wakening and a restoration of a lost glory.

Ndigbo in the 21st century is becoming a global race and more united across countries, irrespective of where they live. They have started to see the need to identify with their brothers wherever they meet. Now with advancing technology, there exists a global Igbo nation who communicate and live with each other.

AND BENIN WAS A HAMLET NOT A KINGDOM....ARE THEY EVEN UPTO AN ACRE

Ubenedictus:
china had walls even though it was an empire, d vatican had walls while controlling nations. nri was actually a village not a kingdom,

The biggest problem of the Black Race is not poverty or under development. It is disunity. All other problems the Black Race face are a symptom of this one problem and until we address it, all our efforts at changing our destiny to one of progress in all spheres of the human development index may be an arduous one.

And disunity will continue to be the problem of the Black Race as long as we remain ignorant of our origins as a people and why we are so prone to division.

It is no coincidence that Haile Selassie, the former Emperor of Ethiopia, was along with Kwame Nkrumah, the pioneer of pan-Africanism. He was very well versed in the history of the Black Race and understood how we got to where we are as a people.

Ethiopia or Cush (the King James Version uses Ethiopia but almost all other versions use Cush) is actually the First Nation mentioned in The Bible in Genesis 2:13.

Ethiopia or Cush was a generic name given to what is today known as black Africa......


The reason why the black race are under the influence of other races is because those races have “understanding of the times” while we fighting each other.

African leaders have to begin to study the core values that made black people dominate the world in Nimrod’s empire of Babel and those core values were unity and understanding the value of time.

Then the leaders of the Black Race have to understand what destroyed the hegemony the black race enjoyed in Babel, which is that our unity was against God.

The greatest commandment is to Love God and then to love your neighbor. The only things you can use to project both of these loves are first time then money. The only way you can amplify the effect of these is by building unity at any level and the only sustainable purpose of unity is to use it to serve God and humanity.

In other words, if the black race can unite under God, begin to value time over money, and devote the best and the first of their time and money to serving God and humanity we will return to the place of strength we once occupied in Babel.

May God bless you and open your eye of understanding as you read this piece.

LMFAOOOOO. I wonder if they will rewrite NRI history and claim NRI was Benin too. I'm actually waiting especially when the stark illiterate I was talking to earlier stated "was that Igbo attire?" after I posted the obi's pictures. NRI people should watch out cause I think a history distortion is coming there way.

Lol

thiagoneves:
Chambers Dictionary (William Geddie, ed. 1962) says: “A nation is a body of people marked off by common descent, language, culture, or historical tradition: the people of a tribe.” However, S.O.L. Amadi-Nna (1993) avers that: “A tribe is a group of clans under recognized chiefs and usually claiming common ancestry. Ikwerre can therefore not be a clan but a tribe. The Ikwerres claim a common ancestor. Ikwerre is an independent small tribe.” In the words of K.O. Amadi (1993), “Traditions suggest that Ikwerre is a nickname given to Iwhnuruọhna people…..They have ever since regarded themselves as a distinct group and have happily come a long way in their struggle for self-identity as evidenced by the recognition of their language as one of the Nigerian languages.”

Amadi-Nna (1993) added that: “The Ikwerres are a small but distinct tribe. The Ikwerres have distinct linguistic, social and cultural traits and formations that distinguish them from other close neighbouring tribes like the Ijaws and the Ibos. Majority of the Ikwerre settlements have their roots traceable from the old Benin Empire.” Iwhnurọhna people descended from  the ancient Bini Kingdom. The name of the grand ancestor is Akalaka. Their relations in Rivers State are Ekpeye and Ogba people. The reigning Oba of Benin when Akalaka, the ancestor of Ihruọha (later called Iwhnurọhna) fled was Oba Ewuare (Ogwaro). Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled in the 13th century on allegation of plotting assassination of the Oba. He died in 1462. Iwhnurọhna his third son settled east of the Sombrero River by 1538 AD, as detailed below.

Chief N.M.T. Solomon (2004), native of Ikodu Ubie in Ekpeyeland, in his narrative draws heavily from the now authenticated written historical records delivered by various informed sources including “Eketu (Weber) of Ubeta, assumed to have lived for over two hundred (200) years as the oldest man in all Ekpeye, Ogba and Iwhnurọhna (or Ikwerre), at that time (and) was asked to narrate the history and customs of Ekpeye people” as unfolded in his lifetime. Here is what he said, which has been validated by the accounts of the current generation through responses to our questionnaires and direct interviews thereby increasing our level of confidence on the data:

Ekpeye, born in Benin, was the first of the three sons of Akalaka. While in Ndoni, he married a second wife to gain the love and favour of the people. The new wife gave birth to a son, which he named Ogba. Akalaka was still in Ndoni when his first wife, the mother of Ekpeye, gave birth to his third son called Ihruoha (Ikwerre).

Similar historical fact by J.N. Olise (1971) averred that: “Akalaka, a member of the Benin royal family, fled with his wife from Benin to Ndoni, a community located close to the River Niger, to save the life of his new born baby (Ekpeye) … While at Ndoni, Akalaka took a second wife. … Akalaka had two sons, Ekpeye – born to him by his Benin wife, and Ogba – born to him by his Ndoni wife. According to F.E. Otuwarikpo (1994): "After the death of Akalaka in 1462 AD, his two sons, Ekpeye and Ogba had conflict, which compelled Ogba, the younger son, to move northwards where he founded Ohiakwo (Obigwe) and settled with his family. Ekpeye who remained at Ula-Ubie had seven sons – Ubie, Akoh, Upata, Igbuduya, Ekpe, Awala and Asa. The last three sons – Ekpe, Awala and Asa – crossed to the other side of Sombreiro River (present day Ikwerreland and settled there since 1538 AD.” He added that: “Ekpe migrated to present day Rumuekpe and spread through Elele (Alimini), Ndele, Rumuji and part of Ibaa. Awala migrated to present day Isiokpo …” 

Amadi-Nna (1993) also said Akalaka migrated with his half brother called Ochichi from the area of Benin Empire. Ochichi sons were Ele (Omerele, now Elele), Elu (Elumuoha, now Omerelu), Egbe (Egbeda) and Mini (Alimini, Isiokpo).

The crucial point here, which is of great importance in tracing the joint origin of the ancestors of the Old Ahoada Division (in the Governor Diete-Spiff administration), is the mention of the number of children that Akalaka had, namely: Ekpeye, Ogba and Ihruọha (Ikwerre). It is noteworthy that the pedigree and name of Ikwerre people, Iwhnurọhna, obviously took its root from this original name – Ihruọha. Chief Solomon therefore establishes a very vital historical link, which has been missing in literature on Ikwerre origin that would assume more significance in the discourses of Ikwerre genealogy in the future – the fact that Akalaka was the direct father of Ihruọha (Ikwerre). Iwhnurọhna, in Ikwere parlance, means the face of the community (town, city or village).

Nigerian colonial history records that the name "Ikwerre" was given by the colonial administration when they wanted to acquire the Rebisi waterfront to build the wharf. Using an Ibo interpreter to talk to the illiterate Rebisi (Port Harcourt) chiefs, they asked them: Would you permit us to use the waterfront to build the wharf for ships to berth? And they answered: A KWERULEM, meaning - "We have agreed." What the white-man was hearing was "Ikwerre," so he recorded it in the official gazette that the IKWERRE PEOPLE have agreed for the colonial administration to build the wharf. And since it was the official record of government, the name Ikwerre became the name of the Iwhnurohna people in all official documentations till date.

Similar cases of Anglicization of native names in the Niger Delta region by the colonial administration are Benin for Bini, Okrika for Wakrike, Degema for Udekema, Abonnema for Obonoma, Brass for Gbara sni, Bonny for Ibani, Pepple for Perekule, Ahoada for Ehuda, etc

Even so, “… there were dissenting voices, … who believed that Ikwerre origins lay outside Igbo land, … in the Benin Kingdom of old. It is, therefore, obvious that the interminable debate about Ikwerre origins and migrations including the repudiation of the Igbo tradition is not a phenomenon of the post-civil war period. The controversy, as it were, is not necessarily the product of the present political realities wherein groups which hitherto were seen to have cultural affinities now find themselves in different states or administrative systems.”  -- K.O. Amadi (1993)

The Ogbakor Ikwerre Convention, a cultural organization of Ikwerre people, in a paper presented to the Human Rights Violation Commission headed by Rtd. Justice Chukwudifu Oputa on 10 October 2001, said: “Ikwerre ethnic nationality is not and has never been a sub-group of any other tribe in Nigeria including Ndi-Igbo. There is no doubt that the advent of the British and later regionalization put Ndi-Igbo at the helm of affairs in Eastern Nigeria. This brought Ndi-Igbo into Ikwerre land. In course of time, the Igbo took advantage of their position in the then Eastern Regional Government to grab land in Ikwerre and occupy political positions such as the mayor of Port Harcourt. In the process, Ikwerre along with other minority groups were marginalized and driven to the background.”

Professor Godwin Tasie noted that in 1913 the Rt Rev Herbert Tugwell, the Anglican Bishop on the Niger, undertook an experimentation tour of Ikwerre towns and villages assumed to be Ibo-speaking to test the Union Ibo Bible Nso being introduced in Iboland. "Tugwell discovered from the tests he carried out that although the Ikwerre were often regarded  as Ibo… the Union Ibo Bible translation, surprisingly, was not easily understood by the Ikwere." This is obviously why Igbo vernacular was compulsorily introduced and taught in all schools in Ikwerreland before the Nigerian Civil War to the assimilation (i.e. destruction) of the Ikwere language.

This also obviously led to the Rumuomasi Declaration in 1965. " … in their meeting at Rumuomasi in 1965 the Ikwerre had, under the umbrella of a highly promising new body that was to get the Ikwerre together as a people of new and clearer vision, they had declared themselves as a people of the distinct identity of Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality - not Ibo, not Ijo, not anything else but Ikwerre, Iwhnurọhna. This was the historic Rumuomasi Declaration of 1965 (G.O.M. Tasie, 2000). The full implication is that Ikwere people began to assert themselves forcefully as an ethnic nationality of their own and not Ibos or Ijos, and efforts were made to revert to the original Ikwere names for families, villages, communities and landmarks. For instance, there was the change from Umuola to Rumuola, Umuoro to Rumuoro, Umukrushi to Rumuokwurusi,  just to name a few.

Four men who allegedly disguised as prophets but had in their possession human body parts were Tuesday paraded by the Oyo State police at the Eleyele Command, Ibadan. According to the police Commissioner Mr Leye Oyebade, the four suspected were ritualists arrested with mutilated human body parts in their possession. While addressing newsmen, the CP said the alleged criminals were arrested in an uncompleted building at Owode area of the state, where according to him, information had been rife that criminals were usually gathering at the place. The Commissioner said that one of the suspects, Odetunde Jacob, who allegedly confessed to the crime told the police that they had killed someone (name withheld) at Ogbomoso area of the state. “The suspects who all disguised as prophets have confessed to the crime,” the CP said. Four men were also paraded for alleged involvement in fraudulent act. The CP said the suspects claimed that they were major distributors of Cadbury products in Ibadan, but that they duped the complainant, Mrs Funke Lawal, of a sum of N1.2 million.

MOSLIMS WHY MUHAMMAD IS NO PROPHET.THE END OF YOUR BULLSHIT CLAIMS.
Why Muhammad was not a prophet?
It is impossible that a man in his mid-54’s could engage in sexual intercourse with a nine-year-old child (Aysha), and be a prophet of G-d.
It is impossible that a man could finance his religious and political community by robbing the trade caravans that passed through his area on their annual trips between Arabia and Syria, and be a prophet of G-d.
It is impossible that a man could encourage his adopt son (Zeid) to divorce his wife (Zeinab) so that he, the father, could marry her, and be a prophet of G-d.
It is impossible that a man could lie to his wife (Hafsa) to get her out of the house so that he could sleep with the slave girl (Mariyah) he had given her as a gift, and be a prophet of G-d.
It is impossible that a man could call other men to follow him, and then watch them die one after the other in the battles he instigated to build his empire while giving them promises of the sexual Paradise with 72 virgins that awaited them, and be a prophet of G-d.
It is impossible that a man could behead three Jewish tribes men who had lived in his city for centuries for the simple reason they refused to accept him as their leader, and be a prophet of G-d.
It is impossible that a man could trade the Jewish wives and daughters of the men he had just beheaded for weapons and horses, and be a prophet of God.
It is impossible that a man could be so fearful of criticism that he would send a man at night to kill the mother of a nursing child because of the poems she had written against him, and be a prophet of G-d.
It is impossible that a man could sentence a woman to death by having her limbs attached to camels that moved in opposite direction pulling her apart, then behead her and parade her severed head through Medina, and be a prophet of G-d.
It is impossible that a man could torture a young Jewish tribal leader to death to obtain his money, and then "marry" his 17-year old widow (Safiya) the same night, and be a prophet of G-d.
It is impossible that a man could allow his followers to have sex with their female slaves as well as their prisoners of war, whether or not they were married, and be a prophet of G-d. Peace.

You have asked a very crucial question but mark my word..none and I mean no Muslim will answer this . they prefer indoctrination


Let me wait for answers


But this count charges high shaaa

Are you sure oga Muhammed did all these ....where can I read am

kITATITA:
Enough of your ethnic bigotry. For your information, I'm Igbo and a classic Buhari supporter and I believe firmly in one Nigeria. Mrs. Ogwu was at various times DG NIIA, Foreign Minister and accomplished diplomat. If she wanted to sabotage the country, she would have done so long ago. Because some people don't share your political opinion doesn't make them bad. It's the likes of you that are creating a fuss where non exists.

All the female achiever have been Igbo women, how many Yoruba women have achieved or you want to mention the dictator ho that was dashed oil wells for services well rendered.

Whatever you people do, amala women can never equal Igbo women's (Dora, NOI, Oteh, etc,) achievements.

Their women are probably selling bleaching creams at one oja


Well this is funny ...just that Igbo women are go getters like their men

Hello nne
for completeness you should have said you are Anambra Igbo, Ebonyi Igbo, Rivers Igbo etc
Your post is a bit....somehow.....you sounded like you think Igbos from Delta are not ?authentic Igbo?

@ your how do the men behave?....
Like men? Like Igbos? Like people?
Read your post again....o di kwa somehow
And, before marriage.....a na aju ese....ooo na Nairaland ka I cholu ime nke gi? I understand if one was a foreigner from another country and wanted to know about men from this country.....or maybe Igbo and was marrying a Yoruba or Hausa and vice versa....coming here to ask questions....

But an Igbo, getting married to an Igbo? And asking a question like that, and especially the way you did? Mbanu
I get why @Rukkydelta is speechless
Chai
Cheers

You must be very stupid and daft, are you going to cut off the areas occupied by you leeches off those States and add them to Biafra? I repeat y'all migrated to those areas and when its time for you to go off you go. Are you scared of been treated like strangers and outsiders? You cant lay claim to what's not yours.

Your failed Biafra dream has made you people desperados, you have spread yourselves allover Nigeria in a desperate attempt to claim territories.

Lets watch how you leeches hope to add other States to your nonsense. Off to the East you go, you are not wanted.

You are on heat so go and get laid that's if you are no heamophrodite


Can you imagine ..really greasy

Yeske2:
Don't mind our people, i remembered urging people to vote him during the last election but they refused questioning his party affiliation as if the party makes a person and not the other way round. They're all eulogising him now.

Good or bad ..he has put alor and anambra in the political map...it is left for him to utilise that good will....as an anambra man I know how anambra posterity will judge him
