fr3do:
Thank you
This is the point I passed to Grandma when she opinionated that her people - the Ukwuanis and Ikas are from benin, she argued that we are binis whose language have been 'corrupted' by Igbo, but I respectfully objected stating that it can only be the other way round since Aniomas speak basically Igbo with only few shared words with bini.

On the other hand, I dismiss South-East migratory tales because such promotes ideas that pin Igboness to the politically defined South-East, the same way yorubaness is pinned to Ife and Oyo.
Anioma communities don't need to have foundersfrom the SE to be considered Igbo, Anioma is intrinsically Igbo just as Igbo-Ukwu, Nri and Aro.

Nawa

melzabull:
hahaaha...Absolutely

That's it

melzabull:
He is Igbo. I have been following his comments for a long while. I know an impostor when I see one and i know his type. Thanks

My signature is specifically made for his type


Read it

wordbank:
The official interbank rate when I checked yesterday was N199.05

Try change it in the street and see that aboookki will deal with you

They said they will make naira same with dollars before election ...talk is really cheap


APC look @ you now

On we forgive you on naira

But atleast win boko boys

melzabull:
Honestly this is what irks me so much about that guy obailala. He is igbo but 99% of his comments are anti-igbo, even when obvious Inustice is being done. I have never seen this sort of self-hate In my life

@bolded, he is rather the not very smart and foolish ones too who will rather join other tribes to insult Igbos. I have told him before that he is making so much effort at being more Nigerian than the N in naira, whereas this is the same annoying guy that has never challenged any anti-igbo or pro-yoruba comment despite all the tribal slurs against Igbo on this forum.

He and Joe Igbokwe are on same pedestal, fools that you all never see defend their tribe even in the face of obvious persecution but will rather join others to disparage Igbos.

#spits

One lesson you will know in nairaland is that not all that claim that they are Igbo are real Igbo

I have seen a lot of impostors and believe me when I tell you this

So don't worry about it.

Ihuomadinihu:
Well,where did you get your Information? Because Timbuktu is located at the Southern end of Sahara desert and close to the northern tip of River Niger. It's has also been regarded as the outmost part of Subsaharan West Africa.

My sister why argue with those people ..sometimes I wonder the kind of graduates we are churning out these days

Funjosh:
Yes Mali one of the country in sub sahara africa with city of Bamako and Timbuktu, luckily Bamako is located in sub-sahara Africa while Timbuktu is located in the heart of the Sahara.

Cc tonychristopher

Oga is it not I. West Africa .....we are talking west Africa here not tropical region

If anybody can read my signature ..it is for people like rochas


I just dey shame for umunne m na IMO state

Fulaman198:
Timbuktu is in the Sahara desert in West Africa....... Whites have brainwashed people on what Sub-Sahara Africa is.

You are right that in Timbuktu though, there was philosophy, astronomy and mathematics.

What is wrong with you..I promise you that this is the last response I am going to give you.I did not reply you since because I have understood the level of your submission and it will be an infra dignitatem to respond but I will give you the last one


You said west Africa and I gave you Timbuktu which is in west Africa ..dude did you ever attended a geo class ...Timbuktu is in west Africa


Now another civilisation or kingdom that is far more older and more advanced than that your Benin is shongai kingdom


Can pls Google it....


Your not paying me for lectures here


I had a jet lag let me rest


Good night

xtrorse:
From your first comment you shouldn't have bothered concealing your hypocritical bigotry while appearing to be objective defending the indefensible Quota System on Unity Schools admission.

From your trainings you understood by books that exercising one's franchise right in a democratic setting is tantamount to killing oneself politically.

I don't need to blame you for how low you can sink to support injustice. I blame myself for being made to be in the same country filled with hypocritical bigots with bizarre understanding.

Time shall tell...

That's the only regret ..sharing the same country with buffoons...and I mean it

When you hear most talk you will see a while lot of illogicalities even their elders


I have learn to ignore many of them that is why I will not quote any of them

When I was growing up my people will drum it into my ears that I am Igbo and that I am the best and from the best ethnic group. .I thought they were joking till I start seeing this when I started growing up


The fact is that the Nigerian people have thrown in the towel and agreed unconsciously and unconventionally that Igbo has the highest IQ in Nigeria nay Africa


No wonder the man that had the highest IQ is an Igbo man and this has been proved over and over both at home and abroad

To be honest I don't consider the cut off mark of north or anybody to matter all that matters to me is to let my children know that they are the best


That's how our father's brought us up

I give all the glory to God



Why won't the Igbo man beat his chest after seeing that he is better academically and streetwise

But wben the average igbi dude sees this tell me why wont he look down on the rest nigeria peeps


They have fibally af

Rockyfancino:
So, how did the case later turned out.

Nicely

GboyegaD:
Nobody can make you miss your flight. I think it all bouys down to how you address them.

Your true but when counter closes then you are on your own ...I have made it point of duty to be in airport minimum an hour before take off

OZAOEKPE:
"and nigerians rejected jonathan that was almost winning the war against BH". Quote me anywhere

They will hate you for this statement
But
I will love you for this statement


You said the truth

liberty300:
I thought the children of hate from a particular region said it was the igbos. Why those people from that region want igbos downfall so bad is beyond me...but God will always fight for the igbos, they're his people.

Caesar said "after an attempt on a man's life 3 times, it means the gods are behind him and therefore be left alone"

God will always fight for the his people no matter where or when

You dey mind the bastards


They said that if they are elected they will boko boys ...for where

They said that if they enter that they will make fuel 40....for where


They said if they enter that naira will be equal to dollars.... For where


They said if they enter they will pay the jobless ones here especially on nairaland... 5k abi 10k monthly ...finally for where



These people are stupid and those that believed them are daft ...then Islamic religion ...despicable



Thank God I didn't vote em
Thank God I am not a Muslim



So as you can see I am a free man ...not in shackles



Let them wait for magic....bunch of monkeys that never had a blueprint.... Look at the mess we found ourselves



I am yet to talk about fulani menance in middle belt and south west

darfay:
I don dey observe dis Tonychristopher guy nd e b lyk say to cry dey hungry am.no worry u go soon c person wey e go give u watin u dey find

Cry....lol

For what ...I am done with this thread


So much kids



I am officially unfollowing this thread ...empty vessels have landed and bunch of noise non intellectual making kids

Bye all

forgiveness:
See the map of Benin empire, is it inland?

Logic and fact are two different things.

OK ...which port is in Benin ..oga I lived in Benin ogida for that matter so I know that place well

bokohalal:
You are just jumping all over and I doubt if Timbuktu can help you here. Moreover, it is your denial of Edo influence over much of Southern Nigeria that prompted my comment .

Stop making claims

Go and check Timbuktu and know that your edo is just a tiddler


Timbuktu had one of the oldest literary space in the world nay sub sahara Africa


So stop hyping your small edo with moats they used in running away from invaders

Ihuomadinihu:
In the nearest future,we are going to have people fight and argue over who first met the White men and shook hands with them. Inferiority complex at its best. That you met the white men and engaged in commerce doesn't mean you owe anything. For goodness sake, no ethnic group owns any imported coral beads. They are called trade beads for a reason.

That is the level they are taking it now...I gave them Timbuktu which is far older they won't listen


I wonder how they passed exams

forgiveness:
I never wrote about beads.

What year did the itshekiri and Ijaws meet Oyinbo's?

I'd you had a sense of geography you will know that it is the riverine community that will meet the oyibo first before the inland Benin

forgiveness:
'Benin never had vessel and they are not water fronts!

Which tribe was the first to meet Europeans in Nigeria?

How did they get there?

was it by plane or by ship?

How did Benin get to Lagos?

Meeting European first doesn't mean they own beads

But for your information it is the itshekiri ijaws that met oyibo first


Benin never had port

bokohalal:
Tonychristopher, Ethiopia is not in West Africa.
Tell us which Western European nation Ethiopia had diplomatic relations with.
Egypt is above the Tropic of Cancer.

Oga you have changed to west Africa you said African

Let me tell you that Timbuktu has the highest civilisation in west Africa


Oh find another lies


Why don't you just do simple basic research

paris10:
The Pope's US visit was a triumph in upholding Christ teachings. If anything, one thing it does teaches us is that you don't need a private jet, nor a limousine nor even the most expensive carrier to ride in to do God's work.

It teaches us humility in the face of plenty, humbleness in the face of pride, and godliness to silence the greedy and the new generation pastors we have been condoning.

Creflor Dollar needed a $65,000 jet to do God's work ( his congregation are currently donating the money ). Adeboye, Oyedepo et al also need this amount of money to do God's work. Pope rode in a $20k mini series car. He specifically demanded this because " as a man of God you cannot live confortably and ride the most expensive cars whilst the children of God are suffering".

Over to the gullible Nigerian pastors defenders.

They will tell you that if you don't pay your robbing God .......lol


Catholic doesn't even say pay tithe because Jesus never instructed us to specifically pay tithes ...not saying that tithe isn't good

But simplicity and humility is the best


Forget most of these pastors

spanishkid:
at least I've got European blood in me but you on the other hand, is nothing but a black flàthead. Here's my gift to you.

This boy has proven how idiotic and stupid he is

spanishkid:
at least I'm racially higher than you flattie.

Confused imp

bokohalal:
Some Igbos are funny. Especially tonychristopher. Luckily, we have reasonable ones like Ezeagu. I can tell that Ezeagu is well rounded,intellectually.
The problem that some Yorubas and Igbos , including some of their renowned history professors, seem to have, is looking at the total population of their respective ethnicity and comparing it with the Edos. They cannot imagine 'small Edo'accomplishing all those historical 'feats' when they,with all their population and contemporary 'achievements ' did not. Others even go to great lengths to arrogance some firsts to themselves, or diminish the firsts of Edo.some facts are however incontrovertible.
Benin was the first place of importance that Europeans visited in West Africa when they ventured past the tropic of cancer
Benin traded with Europeans and in exchange for spices, cloth and slaves, among others , they got back guns and gunpowder, beads, mirrors, umbrellas and other European products.
Benin was the first African people to establish diplomatic relation with a European nation; Portugal.
Now,the port of entry into Benin is called UGHOTON,by the Edos,but Europeans called it GWATTO.That is the name you will find in any old European map of West Africa. It is an Edo river port till date .
The Oba did monopolize trade and the minister responsible for European trade was the EBOHON ( or so I remember. )
Portuguese mercenaries went with Edo warriors to fight the Igallas of Idah.


Will be back.

Lies and bunkun

Benin isn't the first kingdom that had a diplomatic relations with any EU country

What about Ethiopia... That had a serious relationship with Europe since ages even BC era

I just do not get it when people come and blab without doing basic research

What about the Egyptian civilisation


Are they not in Africa


Benin of yesterday

We should be very careful here

Anybody can claim okoro here ..we have seen a while lot of people claiming we south south


We should be very careful I plead

Ihuomadinihu:
Yes,that is why i said as the case may be, marital status inclusive.

Exactly that's what I am talking and these are the little things that OP didn't see
