I THINK THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE IS SELF PRESRVATION ...IN A LAY MANS TERM...SURVIVAL


PEOPLE SHOULD START PROTECTING THEMSELVES


IT IS WELL

NO IT IS IGBO HERDSMEN THAT CAME AGAIN...HMMM THESE IGBO ARE ENIGMATIC..THE IGBO EVEN CHASE PEOPLE IN THEIR DREAM...ONE POPULAR PASTOR CONFESSED IT


LOL

Eluwilussit:
Igbo abi "Igbo"? We have refused to tell ourselves the truth. Always chasing shadows. The south is screwed. We have been so taken advantage of by the north. The day we allow merit to reign in our national life, is the day we will move forward.

Let us keep blaming "yeebos" for all our problems. One day, it will be too late to stay together as a nation, with the amount of nepotism and tribalism being encouraged in every facet of our national life.

now your getting funnier by the day

bigfrancis21:
To be honest, I think his posts were in response to some of your comments on the first page which many would perceive as Igbo bashing. Some people were already beginning to ask if the thread was created to bash Igbos or to actually learn about the Igbo culture as you had mentioned.

And I asked the Igbo dick man dick searcher about that and she won't respond

BlaqCoffee109:
oh well..I guess the ish with TonyChristopher? the guy is a Clown! ..we were just taking swipes at each other..not necessarily bashing Igbos

So you have condescended calling me a clown ..have you found the elusive Igbo husband itshekiri abi na Yoruba Babe


Wishing you success. .now the ish with me is that all wanna be us but can't be us


So am I clowning

BlaqCoffee109:
...TonyChristopher,you mustn't be shocked..ideologically speaking,you are at par with the paramedics who favored white over black..in your own words,stick with your type...Igbo's are better and more superior...they {paramedics} feel the white man are better and more superior..in relation to my thread,you get the drift?

Lol..I am not a suoremacist pls and I am not a proud man just that I have a friend in youv

BlaqCoffee109:
..well, someone mentioned they perceive their women to understand their culture better..I have heard in some places, even if the Igbo man is married to an outsider,chances are the family will see to it he eventually marries an IBO woman..to some extent,if he is from a liberal enlightened background, he might get away with it...but this rarely is the case if he is a traditional man

let me be honest with you...igbo men and igbo generally believe they are better and supeior and that is the way we are and we do not marry outside, it is rare even if we do we have traditional places that we go such as the Efiks, Ibibio, Anangs, Kalabari and maybe and I mean maybe but very rare Urhobo...we loo east..anything far West From benin is seen as abberation and the man looked down on



how can a woman from lets say itshekiri with the way their women are known, i lived in warri come to say meeting umuada or ndiinyo and merge...ko possible, how can she cook that ofe onugbu with ogiri isi and okporoko just like Nkechi...it is impossible, how can she differentiate ede from ede uli


I think you should marry your type dear


now this is an advise not a joke

have you gotten married to the men in line for you...lol



you must have longed for igbo penis and blokos for long



take this as a joke

BlaqCoffee109:
..you really are disappointing with this petty and mundane contribution..will front page or your contributions give me a Jaguar? The thread was to address some sociological issues which may in real life situation with meaningful contributions be addressed..whats one of the purpose of an online forum again?

i must speak igbo by fire by force...

i am busy here, please get busy also


have a good day

Multinational Indian firm? Bloody onyeberiebe!

So your career is anchored on jobs in the Indian sector yet you are currently buying up Lagos including my ancestor's grave. Not forgetting that you developed Lagos as well o? I bet you house your wife and kids in a single room or at a room and parlour self contain (somewhere in Ipaja or Ikotun). Probably your rent is not even up to date?

These mouthy chest beater! I will expose your lying flat/head in the politics section. Did you say feed me? Pay my drivers' salaries for just 3 months and I will accord you some dignity. Were, opu to, omo Ibo.

Chiwude:
Even if Rochas performed below the expected satisfaction of NdImo, let it be left to us to criticize. Us alone! You'll hardly see Imolites open threads to lampoon the good people of Anambra, or talk ill about the incompetence of Obiano or his anti-Obi policies. But I don't know why loose canons like Chino and other cry babies can't do the same. As true sons of Igboland we will never fall for the OP's trick to propel us into maligning our sister state, thereby wash our dirty linens in public. We know him as a troublemaker, but wish to inform other unsuspecting commentators not to join him in his usual dance of shame.
While it is true I didn't vote Rochas for 2nd
term, it is also fair to say that I'm one of his fierce critics. Yet, it pains me to see vagabonds with anti-Igbo tendencies insult not only the Governor, but also the good and hardworking people of Imo state, all in the name of amateurish politics. It is so disheartening to see why these lunatics are taking panadol for another mans headache. I even saw where a juvenile kept comparing Ohakims shambolic tenure to that of Rochas. Even one idiot openly came out to insult the political decisions of Imolites during the last election. Imo remains the most politically sophisticated state in the whole east, you can take it anywhere. People who play emotional and bitter politics are coming here to tutors us on something we know better. Let them check the records to see how we've faired from the 2nd republic till now.
The likes of Mandax can criticize ORO after all he has a stake in what goes on in the state as an indigene. However, since other intruders are bereft of ideas to criticize constructively, courtesy demands they keep shut. Let them face their state and pour that bitterness there. Imolites voted for Rochas because they had faith in him, it is now left for him to reciprocate that faith by proving that he is truly the best man for the job. He has more than 3 years to round up his tenure and till then he remains the Governor of Imo and no form of witch hunting and character assassination will make him step aside.
@Lalasticlala this thread has violated nairaland standing rule with slander, insults and libel. Pls do the needful and send it to where it belongs. Thanks.

What USA is to the world is what anambra is to Igbo

One has to check out others and its unfortunate it falls on the shoulder of anambra

So, tonychristopher is just a job hunting punk upon all your forming in the politics section particularly Igbo matters. I thought you had bought all my ancestral land finish? With your Indian company job? Anuofia, just make sure you no give woman belle otherwise you will wipe an Indian man's yansh tire. Onyeberiebe

Aturu.... The average Igbo man is always on a look out for greater business and this was like years ago and mind you I am still looking for greater money and will comfortably feed you


I got kids so I don pass giving belle levels like u

Valendo:
You see. Sometimes I wonder why we are so quick to blame others but ourselves. If you imagine the rate at which people are wasting there money on lotto baba ijebu or football betting all in the name of I want to get rich quickly. Its a shameful thing in our society but like I said where you arrive in future is a function of what you do today

To me I consider anybody that plays lotto lazy

missojugo:
Boy you are obviously too good for the job and they didn't want to waste your future chasing after bank deposit! You are lucky you didn't get the dirty job because its a dead end job that will suck the life and willingness to live out of you. Imagine having such an ass as a boss? Rubbish

Well he can make a career out of banking but I think he is a kid and he will learn to take streets as they come

Oga by his grace I gave grown pass that level and why do you insult were u raised from insult..you acted like one stupid boy here on nairaland that keeps posting wrong pictures of me and also pictures of me when I was paying my dues that was ages ago...when I showed him the real Tony

He turned around and said that I am a ritualist band since then has stopped . we are still hunting for the money and that is it


Now grow up...I know that I can feed you cos I am feeding people better than you and for your information I am married and has passed the level of giving woman belle like 5 yrs ago


Too much kids here

bigfrancis21:
This is correct. It is common for any dissenting group to want to claim 'migrated from bini' as if that makes them different. Even the Ikwerres, actually migrated from Arochukwu, Awka and Orlu areas, who never had any Bini mentioned in their history in the past have found a way to cook up Bini claims in their history.

I dey shame for them....nobi this Benin I know abi na another one?

IsiAbuncha:
Man, you're smart!

Boils down to what I said earlier, the cultural differences and inability to understand the other man's culture is what is basically causing what people call tribalism.
All these tribes you matched above have similar cultural backgrounds and that's why marriages amongst themselves can be successful

Let me add Hausa + Fulani, Idoma + Tiv, etc

That's it..even in animal kingdom the tiger+tigress the lion + lioness the frog + frogret ( lol)

OdenigboAroli:
And why would a sensible Igbo man marry outside of his tribe? How do you preserve your culture? I think inter-tribal marriage is disgusting and unnatural. Even God made sure Israelites marry from their tribes to strengthen the bond and culture.

It also confuses the kids ..when a father is from ijaw the mother is from Benin when you ask the kids where are you from ..she says my mum is Benin dad ijaw

You see the confusion and it also makes the kids a bit impure genetically

The only inter tribal I suggest is urhobo + isoko. Benin + ishan. Igbo+ ukwuani or ekpeye,ikwerre. Efik + ananng or Ibibio
.


Igala + idoma. Yoruba + itshekiri or Benin or ijebu or utsen

..others your on your own

Rayhut:
Mr man how can somebody that doesn't have money start a business, it is always easy said than done, to start a business you need money to invest, it is only people with handwork that did not need money to start business, e.g interior decoration, online marketing, fashion design etc, the reason why many youth could not venture into business is because of lack of capital to start, I am a business man, I know what it takes to nurture a business in Nigeria where there is no electricity,multiple taxation, high cost of shops, it is on record that 3 out 5 businesses in Nigeria pack up after few years because of all this. You will end up selling your EBook to those dropping their Email and run away

Bro if you have ideas money will come once there is a will there is a way


But one has to work or understudy a proffesion so as not to get his hand burnt when on a self employment

October1960:
Well done my brother. Working for Indians is worse than slavery. There are MANY other choices out there than to settle for their nonsense in our own country.

I just can't work for them never did and by the grace of GOD won't work for em

You will grow in this ..your confidence will improve and as you get a job your desperation will less


I have gone to an interview in a multi national firm that was last few years r the lady wanted to blab.. They just called like 6 of us ..wel it wasnt an interview per say just to brief us based on experience and what to be expected of us


The firm is an Indian firm and I vowed never to work for any Indian ..never knew when I came into the firm I started seeing Indians and this garlic insesne smell .they called me up...the guys that went there said that the lady interviewing them is nasty


Made up my mind to give her my own..trust me Igbo guy...confidence oozing ..when she said that they will employ me and pay me something funny that I should bring so so sales for them that I should make sure that my team makes upto 50mil sales


I looked at here I laughed and I told her that I am not just interested in that job that she should give it to her husband


She was amazed...I am not desperate not even Indian jobs


Don't worry bro

bokohalal:
Songhai and Mali had relationship with Arabia. Benin remain the first African people to have relations with Western Europeans.
The Portuguese established relationship with Ethiopia in 1520.
They first reached Benin in 1478 and established diplomatic relation in 1482.

Do we have any scholarly evidences to back this bogus claim

Funjosh:
My sister we are on the same page just that we are not reading the same line, Southern fringe of the Desert is still part of the Desert.

Then northern fringe of tropics is still part of tropics

Funjosh:
Read and Re-read what you posted here, hope you understand it may be am the one that is seeing different thing.

Oga the basis of argument is west Africa where they said Benin is the first kingdom that had a relation with EU which I countered with Timbuktu and Songhai

Is that not the basis ?

Funjosh:
A simple Atlas would have help.

Timbuktu’s history
The Niger River, Timbuktu
The Niger River, Timbuktu
Although the city of Timbuktu was established in the 12th century and became an important commercial centre, it only gained widespread prominence as an intellectual capital in the 15th century. Chroniclers mention that the city has its roots in a nomadic summer camp set up a few miles from the river Niger, as a base from which they could pasture and water their camels during the period of intense heat. This position proved strategic for commerce and soon attracted many settlers. The settlement was important not only because of its location at the junction of the dry Sahara and the lush central valley of the river Niger, but because the river itself constituted an easy pathway for transporting goods to and from the more tropical regions of West Africa. Thus merchants settled there early on and were subsequently followed by Muslim scholars much later, after the establishment of a permanent community.

The population of Timbuktu was always mixed. Although


http://www.tombouctoumanuscripts.org/about/history/



Now timbuktu is in tropics and at the smae time Southern tip of Sahara

why are you taking time to explain these identity confused people, sometimes I wonder how they reason...you will see somebody that bears Ifeoma Nwoko from somewhere in Ika and the monkey will say she is not igbo and will vehmently deny igboness...what I will do is not that I will pet her...I will just call her fake Igbo..simple


ife eji abu igbo erika...oburo so afa


When you pet these ID crisis ones they feel special


So I drop them as if they are hot cakes

pazienza:
How can we say that Anioma is not original Igbo and yet, for years, the two elite Igbo organizations ie Aka Ikenga and Ohanaeze Ndiigbo were led by Anioma sons, and the Asagba of Asaba remains a grand patron of Ohanaeze Ndiigbo.

Nne eh, it's high time you stop listening to our detractors. Igbo belongs to all of us, that was why Nzeogwu coup was termed "Igbo coup" and not Okpanam, Aniocha/ Oshimili or Delta coup, even though they( Nigerians) all knew that Nzeogwu was from Okpanam Oshimili in Delta state and not from SE.

Never did Ndiigbo from SE protest and insisted that Nzeogwu is not Igbo, even though denying him would have been a safe option, but we never did, even till today, and we all bore the consequences of Nzeogwu's actions. We suffered together and survived together. Anyi bu ofu, don't let our enemies tell you otherwise.

No SE Easterner is a more originally Igbo than any Anioma person, don't let them tell you any different.

Anyi bu ofu!

You want me to pet you or words....your in for a long thing, read my signature again

favouredon:
See beta person dey talk. No be people like that disgusting tonychristopher. Thank you

Fulaman198:
I wonder the same thing about you guys as well:

" Important cities located in the Sahara include Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania; Tamanrasset, Ouargla, Béchar, Hassi Messaoud, Ghardaïa, and El Oued in Algeria; Timbuktu in Mali; Agadez in Niger; Ghat in Libya; and Faya-Largeau in Chad."

My history is in this region so expect me to know it very well

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara

Oga we are talking west Africa here

What is wrong with you ?

nwaniru:
I am from Iru and we speak Ika language as well but better still we live under Edo state just like igbanke and other Ika speaking dialect, We live the same kind of life with Agbor and we never associate or do things with Benin even our relatives, families all live in Agbor clans like 1.Oyibu,
2. Alizomor, 3.Owa Alidinma, 4.Ufie, 5. Aliro, 6.Owanta, 7. Owa-Eke and others, so i want us to be always remembering Iru because we speak Ika but not Benin.

Chukwu golzie GI...


What the meaning of iru ...nwanne

victor1464:
wats ur business with ika. Y not mind ur business. U igbos r just too dubious.

Benin immigrant how far?

boskolin:
This is an ika man, is this how Igbo man dress?. ika are not Igbo.

No tribe in the south of Nigeria dress like this ...this dude doesn't know culture


He is wearing danshiki

Benin don't dress like this


He is like aboki

Just that he is tying bandanna or scarf
