That girl is bantu, look at her nose.

Still you have yet to give me one link that i CAN verify. lol, you might as well just stop. How easy is it to post a link, so i can show you that your lying.


I feel offended that you posted that ugly bantu ape, and tried to say she was Somali. Somalis don't cover their hair like that, nor do walk around naked, nor do they have that huge nose and lips.

The nomadic Somalis don't even use that type of a house when they are building their homes.

These are pictures from a hundred years ago and even older. That you expect everything to be as they are now. Including housing and dressing shows how stu.pid you are.

Do not be ridiculous. Everyone knows Somali noses aren't always as narrow as the stereotypical Somali's

Somali women. Not Somali Bantus. Ethnic Somalis. Look at their noses.

She is Afar, Somalis don't wear beads like that around their neck. Afar are very loose with their religion until recently (last 50 years).

You can't post any links, which proves my point even further, you would have been better served, if you never even brought up the topic, as now you look foolish posting Afars from Djibouti and passing them off as Somalis. Somalis don't wear beads, nor braid their hair, and they cover their hair.

Okay.

Those are Afar in Somalia not Somalis. Some afars loosely practice Islam. Also the one that has the Somali in the name is clearly a drawing and not a picture. Better luck next time.

In Summary, you showed a picture of a drawing. The REST are Afar, and the last you admitted was Eritrean. lmao

Give links if your serious

Whatever you say, Somali.

Another Somali girl:

axum:
lmao, That lady in the black and white picture is taken 1800's, while the other one is clearly in color, do you know when colored pictures came out? in the 1960's, you dumb bitchhhhhh.


obviouly this Somali lady is breast feeding her child, and still in good shape, she looks noble.

mean while are butt naked in the jungle.

You uncover both brea.sts to feed a baby, who (by the way) doesn't look at all like he is breastfeeding? . Okay, I believe you. The following women were also breastfeeding their babies:

Yet another Somali.

Two Somali women.

Eritrean woman. Not a Somali, admittedly. Still a Horner, though. And Cushitic.

How much does Mogadishu owe to the local Somalis. Basically nothing. History says the it was the Arabs who established the city, and even its name derives from Persian.

Show me anywhere in Somalia where you can find the equal of the intellectual output of Timbuktu. :/

macof:
True but the differences are much more than the similarities. Efik/ibibio is one culture, Igbo is another
And Nsibidi has it's origin in the Efik/Ibibio culture

You can follow the link that was shared on this post (which Efik man Notob approved of.)

The link went into some detail about Ekpe and Nsibidi and its origin. Start from about page 28 or so. The Efik only adopted Ekpe and Nsibidi in the 18th century from the Ejagham people, who are neither Efik nor Ibibio.

In summary, the Igbo and Efik/Ibibio owe Nsibidi to a third group who they both borrowed it from. That group is the Ejagham/Ekoi.

ijawcitizen:
1. How come Ijaws are settlers in itsekiri land when they met Ijaws in the land before the foundation of the so called itsekiri nation? 2. Do you agree that the founder of the so called itsekiri nation, Ginuwa the exiled prince from benin was a refugee who seeked asylum within the ijaws of the same area, and himself and his co-refugees (about 70 people, all men) were all given ijaw wives ie itsekiris are maternally ijaws? Other than God Almighty Himself, we ijaws created the itsekiri nation, we nursed it from the very begining. I really don't know if you're all just some cursed and wretched ingrates or just acting like one. Ijaws settling in itsekiri land indeed!

Isn't this funny? On another thread where people were discussing the form of Igbo spoken in Bonny/Opobo and other issues pertaining to Eastern-Ijaw/Igbo relations, you showed up to berate the 'land grabbers' and 'identity thieves'.

Now, here you are claiming the land of the Itsekiri people as well as the people themselves.

It's amazing that people don't see in themselves what they see in others.

aljharem:
I think you are high !!!

The OP suggested his language (Efik/Ibibio). Someone with a Northern-sounding name suggested a Northern language (Kanuri). You suggested your language (Yoruba). Someone else suggested his language (Igbo).

But you made a beeline for the Igbo man's comment. Are you always like that?

GenBuhari:
Provide evidence that is independent of the influence of the whites, that proves Africans enslaved and traded themselves as slaves. To ensure that the evidence does not have any influence from Europeans, it should be a written historical document produced by us or other races that may have been in Africa before the arrival of Caucasians.

Dude, I need to ask you a question. Are you a troll or just don't want to be reasonable? Papa Africa has mentioned two books written in the Western Sudan by black Africans which mentioned local slavery in that area before Europeans came anywhere near there. For reasons best known to you, you ignored his presentations and continued to bludgeon on with your defeated arguments. What's your deal, bruh?

And why can't most people on this thread take a standpoint and stay there? This thread seems to be all over the place, and honestly it is difficult to understand what point or points is/are being debated.

simplemach:
Yes, i wont doubt that Hausa hausa has the most number of states. But when u go to those states and discover [bthat there are or may be more Igbos in each of them[/b] and also every other state in Nigeria and even other countries then i will know what u'll say. And dont forget that they say any where u go and dont find an Igbo man then u know that place is not safe for humans.so now u be the judge.

That "there are or may be more Igbos" in the Hausa states is honestly a very funny thing to say

It's funny how you said 'NO INSULTS PLS'. I wonder how you can say a tribe is the dirtiest in Nigeria without insulting them. That doesn't sound like an insult to you?

*smh*

Mustay:
It's so queer how Seun has changed "Ab0ki" for Northerner.

Someone viewing this topic for the first time would get lost with what the members are discussing.



At least, "my friend" would have been a better substitute. Moreover, the abuse of the word doesn't mean the originality should be replaced.

Like seriously. The word censorship on this forum is tending towards the absurd. "Ab.oki" is a genuine Hausa word with no harmful connotation. Because some Southerners use it to imply something derogatory, it has become a dirty word? So if an Hausa man on this forum types "Ab.oki, ina kwana?" to his fellow Hausa man, Nairaland will change it to "Northerner, ina kwana?" Ridiculous! How about the long list of derogatory terms used to describe Southerners? Nyamiri. Ofe.mmanu. et cetera. When are they going to be censored as well.

EDITED: Oh, I see Ofe.mmanu has been censored too. It remains Nyamiri.

kulkatty:
Mehn na mostly yoruba states...
Well Igbo people having no ruler since 1914

Yet another wankjob who sees Nigeria only in 'Yoruba/Igbo' terms.

tonychristopher: the difference between itshekiri and yoruba is the same difference between a dog and a fox

the same difference between Esan and Benin is like differentiating 6 and half a dozen

the difference between ukwuani and igbo is differentiating aligator and crocodile

urhobo and isoko is like trying to differentiate boa constrictor from anaconda


ibibio and efiks is like saying that we have a difference between 12 and a dozen or trying to differeniate a rat from a grasscutter



these group of people know that they are the same but for political expediency they will want to claim that each local government is a tribe


mtchewwwww

Your attempts at drawing analogies actually failed woefully. A fox and a dog, a rat and a grasscutter, an alligator and a crocodile, a boa-constrictor and an anaconda....NOT THE SAME THING. AT ALL.

Atmmachine: Hausas are the problem of Nigeria since 1876

My question for u is simple: Why do ur comments always come with a picture that has nothing to do with what u are saying?

pazienza: By Enuani,you mean Ika and Oshimili/Aniocha?

Enuani is just Oshimili/Aniocha. Ika is different.

victor1464: d word ANIOMA is just a political name which was concievd som yrs ago...its a socio-cultural and political movement which tend to bring 2geda all d similar ethnic group in Delta north senatorial distric...A-aniocha,N-ndokwa,I-ika,O-Oshimili,then MA is just an attachment which makes it meaninful called ANIOMA(good land).....Ndokwa was d 3rd largest ethnic group in d defunct Bendel state.Ndokwa is the 2nd largest tribe in delta state after d uhrobos,and its also d Largest in Anioma(delta north region) tnks ..its just like,for example,in EDO state,the bini,esan,etsako,and owan(ethnic similarities comin 2geda to achieve a political goal)

Ndokwa is not larger, either by land mass or by population size, than Enuani. Tnks.

Why all the hidden posts?

I swear this one pained HiiPower. See fierce competition! Wonder what the prize is for whoever wins this Ibo-Yoruba thing. I don't wanna believe that after exerting all this energy you just go to bed and that's it.

fayahsoul: For instance, the southwest region of nigeria that's currently yoruba land was initialy occupied by the igbos.

Please, in the name of God, stop this nonsense.

Wow. Can't think of even one.

kabba7: Am surprised there are no biafrans among the deportees is this to me biafran now stop there criminal tendencies ??

Your grammar, spelling, sentence structure etc say it all. SMH...

mmmustapha: igbo kwenu u pple don't carry last

Yet again I wonder why posts that have nothing to do with Igbo people end up being about Igbo people.

You are going for a burial, not relocating to the place. Unless you've also heard that Oguta people attack strangers randomly, I really don't understand what this thread is all about.

Your Oguta friend...you've known him a long time. Has he tried to kill you yet?

Do I sense that this post has nothing to do with an actual burial, but is just a pretext to say 'stuff' about a whole community?

Pan-Igboists, can u please just let it go?
