So, how did the case later turned out.

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

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

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

See the map of Benin empire, is it inland?

Logic and fact are two different things.

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 .

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.

forgiveness:
I never wrote about beads.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Ihuomadinihu:
Lmao!
Which customers? Boy shut your trap up!! Enlightened people are correcting certain misconceptions,it's either you contribute or you simply walk away and stop messing up yourself. It's unfortunate that the only addition you can make on this insightful thread is to use words like ashawo and prostitute for someone you don't know beyond this thread. Child, keep those insults to yourself,i don't have that time!

spanishkid:
same way your wretched father died from the bullets of the Nigerian army.

igbo savages like you will never learn. You'll soon die. That I can assure you

Ihuomadinihu:
Shut your damn mouth. So igbos should keep quiet when they are being misrepresented on nairaland? Some people lack thinking faculty!

spanishkid:
and shut that your disease infested mouth. Thunder fire you and your entire generation. Misrepresented in what way? You guys are a nuisance and bunch of wailers. Get the Bleep off my mentions. Useless Igbo hoe.

Ihuomadinihu:
Yes, Mike Ezuruonye is from the Old Bende,so he dresses like them when he wants to go traditional. Being a star actor,am sure he is given the leverage to inject his style in his wardrobe. That being said,his attire does not necessarily reflect how all Igbos dress but how modern Igbos dress with the isi agu shirt,trouser and wollen cap which is substituted with red cap around the Anambra axis( without the Bende belt of course).

Other than that, throwing over a simple wrapper whether akwa ocha or george whether over the shoulder or on the waist still stands for all Igbos as the may be. As for the women, both single and double wrapper are used. If we reached back into the past,you would understand that 'Igbo fashion' was much more flamboyant and uniform than what is presented today.
So to say that Igbo dressing is modelled after Edo is a great fallacy.

ChinenyeN:
Yep, Izugbe is an artificial creation. It didn't evolve from anything. Instead, features of Izugbe were deliberately handpicked, based off what the standardizing committee believed to be the underlying basis for modern Igbo speech forms. Izugbe is not the natural dialect of any Igbo-speaking people or township.

boskolin:
If Igbo men are so great why are Igbo girls running after Yoruba men? twitter is full of angry Igbo girls crying over Yoruba men and they are the ones promoting this Yoruba boys slander on twitter. Igbo men are just too rude and primitive, everything about them is money .

akksplendor:
A Nigerian man was apprehended and charged with s*xual assault after pulling down his pants, bringing out his joystick, self servicing and releasing sperm on a woman, police in the United Kingdom said. The 32-year-old man identifed as Peter Fabiyi has been sentenced to serve 4 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of s*xual assault.

According to the Bullet Gist, Fabiyi stood directly in front of the 20-year-old victim on the train before pulling down his pants and self servicing with vigor.

Fabiyi released his sperm on the woman who then fled to the next car and reported the assault to another passenger who called the police. Fabiyi was identified and caught after police reviewed surveillance videos of the train.  In addition to the prison sentence, Fabiyi has been banned from approaching women traveling alone in trains except for transportation employees.

fratermathy:
I admire your perseverance. I still stand my ground. Although, I'll acknowledge at this point that my earlier statement that Igbo system of leadership and dressing draws from Edo system maybe hyperbolic. Nonetheless, minute traces are there!

nwanlecha:
It does! Just stop with the argument k. Both groups borrowed things from each other, but both have also managed to carve out their own unique looks.
@tonychristopher, you are right about the famous akwete. In all, I love Igbo dressing 'cus it's just so regal and beautiful.
