Beremx: I saw this coming. I actually discussed this with a friend that Iran was going to react to the killings of their shi'ite followers and it has happened.
Please if Iran wants to revenge, they should face Buhari and his family.
They should also face you that supported APC election back then. I remember how you campaigned vigorously for the election of APC candidates and you are now wishing evil on only Buharri, HYPOCRITE.
Before Nnamdi Kanu ever was born, British authors and archaeologists have made this conclusion. Now that you are afraid of Israel's assistance to IPOB, you will even deny that Igbo are in Nigeria.
Igbos may not be practicing the Jewish religion en-mass, but they are definitely Hebrew. Many Igbos are going back to the Jewish faith. Even waaay before Nnamdi Kanu
Afam4eva: Thank God that i'm not the only one calling the Igbo-Jewish link for the bullsh1t that it is. It's inferiority complex that will make a people of over 40 million to be going aabout claiming what they're not.
As an Igboman, what is your own belief about Igbo genealogy and history?
Afam4eva: I've seen a lot of rguments about whether groups like the Ikwerre are Igbo or not and if anyone knows my stand here, they would know that even though i don't buy the whole Ikwerre/Benin BS, i now see Ikwerre as a different group from the Igbo and it's not for any of the reasons that some Ikwerre people give such as different dialect or the fact that they learned Igbo through trade. it is solely because i believe that people are who they say they are. I have interacted with a lot of Ikwerre people and the consensus thati have gathered is that they do not want to be called anything but Ikwerre, definitely not Igbo and they're verbally violent about it too.
The only thing i have noticed about Ikwerres is a soft affinity for Igbos even though they like to hide it. While in NYSC, we were playing a football match among corpers and a fight broke out between two players, an Igbo and Yoruba guy and it seemed like the other Yoruba guys seemed to be supporting their fellow Yoruba guys and a few Ikwerre guys (we had a handful of them in the LGA) took the matter on their head along with some Igbo guys and started fighting the Yoruba guys. At that moment i realize that Ikwerre people think they are Brothers to Igbo people. But not enough to call themselves Igbo. We can be brothers but not of the same ethnic group even thouhg we are related.
To further explain what i mean, i was in Calabar a few days ago for a wedding and the MC of event was greeted people of different tribes. he greeted the Efiks, Ibibios, Annangs, Oron and different people even though these people are of the same stock. These groups know they are related but don't see themselves as the same tribe. It is insulting for Ibibios to refer to Annangs as Ibibio and vice versa just like Ikwerres think it's insulting to refer to them as Igbos. Mind you, these Igboid groups really don't mind a union with Igbos but as long as they are not lumped in to the Igbo umbrella. Infact i confirmed this when an Ukwuani guy on this forum once said that all the "Bia" speaking groups should come together and form something like a union. This made me think that they were more against the Igbo tag which they feel does not apply to them than having anything to do with Igbos.
So, i think some of us need to start vieving this Igbo denial in a different way and similar to how tribes are viewed in the Niger Delta area where almost every village is a tribe. Have you asked yourself why all the Igboid groups in Rivers state are not grouped under a single umbrella? Why do we have Ikwerre, Etche, Ndoni and co as seperate ethnic groups. If they can't do that, how do you expect them to now come under the Igbo umbrella. Let's think about this with a clear head.
You're a part of the dying generation of ignorant folks who's sole intent is to use your unverified dark histories to colour an entire region. Your experiences are just a figment of your crooked imaginations and cannot be used as a basis for any decision making process as you could be lying about it just to sell your divisive stories.
IkpuMmadu: During the Biafra war..when the Nigerian troops came to pay homage to then Oba of Benin...did you know what he said ? He told the troops that anything after Abudu they can conquer and we know that igbanke or Igbo akiri is after Abudu
Do you know the role that the Benin played during the Biafra when they killed anioma in Benin city
Did the Oba of Benin or any other person speak against the Asaba massacre? Hundreds of Anioma Igbos were shot to death no because they fought anyone in the war, but because their names are Igbo names.
letu: Yes Igbo's are of Hebrew heritage, the last time I checked white/present day Jewish people are incapable of giving birth to a person of color popularly known as black people, rather it is the black people that can give birth to white person (Albino or Blonde) and there are some school of thought that believes in ancient Hebrews/Semitics of being a people of color like black people in Africa, Asia, America, Black citizens of modern Europe, Australia, it is quite possible that the whole Jewish/Israeli thing is the other way round, which is Igbo's originating from ancient Black Hebrews that modern day Jew's originated from. The so called Eze NRI in the olden days was traditionally the custodian/the priest of the temple of Ala the earth goddess and he was not the only Eze in Igbo land in the olden days because Eri people where not the only one that worship Ala the earth goddess every other Igbo group/tribe worship Ala the earth goddess in which they have their own temple that they dedicated to Ala the earth goddess and the priest are known as Eze Ala(the high priest of the earth goddess). e g Whites/Albino/Blonde whom both parents are black
Jiang: Am pretty sure osinbajo was just being sarcastic & throwing jabs at adeleke, not like he means to really dance, what surprised me the most is how obi with all his supposed intelligence & credentials took the words literary, this is a guy that wants to be VP woh. Naija politicians are a joke, both APC & PDP, Mr obi just made me see him same as the empty headed politicians out there
A professor at law, A pastor A vice president A father A human being
Throwing jabs and being sarcastic on a week when hundreds of Nigerians were slaughtered in more than 4 states and he didn't mention it?
HarunaWest: Osinbajo Used to be very composed.. Politics have exposed his composure mehn....Our leader make funny comments atimes...People are Hungry they telling us About Shaku Shaku...Will that put food on the masses table?..The other day, a serving senator was twerking with his big bum...WTF....Only in Naija
Dancing shaku shaku on top of the hundreds of Nigerians killed in the last one week.
It is not the interviewers prerogative to confer Jewish identity on Kanu? The interviewer is only doing a job in his office and so his own personal views are inconsequential. But for Israel as a nation to keep silent about the whole thing shows acceptance.
The interview will help IPOB in great ways, the world were searching for the word Igbo, Biafra and IPOB on the Internet and checking the map of Biafra.
Ojiofor: You want to create a Jewish state in a Christian dominated region in West Africa hmmm. Now you are in Israel go and prove your jewishnes by making yourself available for dna text.
Earthbound: Are you aware traditional worshippers were converted to Islam? Nnamdi says you guys have been Jewish before the influence of Christianity. Haba, we all know that a big lie and your red cap attests to that
Igbos are descendants of Eri, who settled here after he went south of the Middle East.
Earthbound: There are Jews in basically every nation on earth and are one of the most successful people on earth. It's only natural that anyone would like to identify with them. I have just one question;
uzohrome: This is a great Leader. I was reading a history book about the igbos. They are all Jews and culturally homogeneous with the Israelites. Nnamdi is a great. Much love Ohamadike.
princfred: You are in a thread were they are saying exactly what they want yet misguided hate has blinded you into saying you dont know what they want. Even they do as you eish the hate will still lead to deceive yourself with self imposed blindness and deafness. All the hate for them yet you cant say they are the ones who destroyed Nigeria just misguided frustration. All for being objective enough to acknowledge that Nigeria is a zoo and being very hardworking and successful you hate them but you want to succeed too even as you dont exhibit as much hate to the ones who ruled and ked Nigeria into a sh*thole state. I repeat official referrendum or correcting the infrastructure imbalance is what is necessary for them to leave until then stew in misguided hate as the call for justice or freedom and call out of Nigeria and their leaders as a shame on humanity will continue unabated. If not for misguided stupid hate how can you be tired of them where you have masacres by FH, boko haram and FG killing shiites?
If they ask you why exactly you are tired of them you cant tell: Is it because they want out of the sh*thole you and your cohorts has turned the largest black population into out of stupid orientation and ineptitude? Is it because they are the ones who looted and are looting oil money and leaving the source of the oil polluted and impoverished? Or massacring like islamists? Or because they refuse to stop calling out the evil being perpetuated by the name befitting to it, because they refuse to keep quit in the face of evil? Is it because they refuse to stop dreaming of a better country where they will be allowed to soar to their full capacity and not envied and hated for no reason by those who dont know the path to succeess, or too morally defective, ethnically inclined, misguided, mentally backwards, too educationally stunted or just outrightly docile or lazy to pursue it? What exactly has the igboman done wrong in the face of and in comparism to the monumental evil being perpetuated in the land?
Like Egypt of old, Nigeria will remain a curse to humanity until they beg Isrealites (Biafrans ) to go by the time God is through with them if they dont change.
Donelli: Fifteen pages of comments and none has actually addressed the concerns Nnamdi Kanu raised about a whole region being suppressed economically.
What one can deduce as the root cause of all these mudslinging is FEAR.
Not fear of military action, NO. Not fear of aggression, NO.
Thesame baseless fear the ancient Egyptian elite had of the Israelites which made a certain Pharaoh decide to oppress them as a means of eliminating whatever "threat" they posed.
The Igbos are (arguably) the most nationalised tribe in Nigeria. Some claim (rather laughably) that they try to dominate any location they move to. I'm not sure what that means but what I have come to understand is that this sentiment is the outcome of the continuous reinforcement of ideas sold to the host communities by a handful of aggrieved individuals and it has now become a pandemic.
I know for sure that an Igbo man is more interested in profitable commerce than tribal or religious affiliation (otherwise he won't even leave the confines of his environment in the first place) but this current wave of attacks has led to what has been happening in the last few decades.
Some folks who think themselves intelligent argue matters based in black and white, but fail to understand that things are not always in black and white; there is that grey area (shrouded in diplomatic innuendos) which many are ignorant of.
The issues Nnamdi Kanu raised are not unknown to the powers that be, but are akin to a localised economic embargo placed on a region. The SE/SS are seen as core Biafra zones (those of us still living in denial should better recognize that fact). If allowed the "benefit" of economic structures and amenities might become too powerful to control so force them to spread thin, since the average Igbo man is an explorer.
Some of you here blabbing about what you know next to nothing about, not all Igbos are IPOB (fact) but ALL Igbos seek an identity. Do not equate the activities of a group of greedy and self-enriching stooges of the caliphate masking as Igbo leaders to what a sovereign Igbo nation will be like.
Before you type your next sentence on this topic, take a moment to ask yourself...
WHAT AM I REALLY AFRAID OF?
The truth? A man's bluntness and superior knowledge? The possibility of losing control? A people's struggle for freedom that others are to sophisticated scared to initiate for their own people?
People fear what they do not understand, but know you this day, Nigeria was handed over to the Caliphate, they are the caretakers, nay, owners and will do as they deem fit as advised by their colonial masters.
Meanwhile, we can continue living in this illusion of freedom and one Nigeria.
Ray97: very true. But how many people captured in the map of biafra are willing to support the movement. Take a look at benue for example. Kanu has never been there the only thing he knows about benue is the hostility of armed militia against them.... Now tell me is it kanu u want to consult whether benue wants to join biafra or the council of elders(that are representing the people) in benue.
You clearly don't understand these things, stay on the sidelines and watch the game as it unfolds, one day, the Yorubas will even send a delegation to appeal to IPOB to join Biafra. You will be shocked.
Basher8583: Thanks for the compliment. Na so our ignorance reach so tey you abandon your cursed SE region come dey beg for 2x2 space for SW that are ignorant
No need replying you since you have never travelled from your comfort zone, it's like talking to my ancestors who died in 1720
