Wow! This much bullshit from one person.

Now I'm a fake for condemning the atrocities of the fulani. I must insult igbos and blame them for all yoruba problems (even those caused by the fulani ) to prove that I'm genuinely a yoruba man

Sorry, a genuine yoruba person is not a slowpoke, coward, liar or slanderer to see someone killing his people and protect the same person to blame another person, igbos haven't caused 1/3 of the evil the fulani have done against yorubas in the last 200 years. You are the fake here that shouldn't be taken seriously. ..its apparent your issues with the Igbo is personally not a general Yoruba issue

From the middle belt to the yorubas in SW all of you that hide and shield the fulani all morons. . I wish your sisters and mothers get raped and hacked in the skull. .that will surely wake some of you up as it would then become personal

Brother mi, easy oh!

But truly, the scape-goating is sad and very very shameful. If I am to speak the truth, I see Igbos as largely loudmouthed and irritating (very irritating, honestly), rather than a real threat. I can't fathom how anyone who is familiar with the violence being wrecked by the herdsmen in central and southern Nigeria could lead himself into thinking that Igbos are a bigger threat. It is beyond me.

The southern edge of the Sahara is still part of the Sahara.

The meaning would have been different if it was 'south of the Sahara.'

Sorry, this makes very little sense. Is the Association of Fulani Herdsmen telling us that they are privy to everything their members do, legal and illegal?

That's like saying the Rotary Club of Nigeria knows everything its members do. If a Rotarian smuggles drugs to Malaysia or kills a politician the Rotary Club execs must be privy to it, right? Bulldung.

And the usual knuckleheads are here poking fingers at the people from the East. I laugh!

I see domes on some of the buildings in the first picture. Are the building mosques or have anything to do with Islam? How prominent is Islam in Finland?

Anambra people in the house, please what does the 'arado' in Chukwuarado and Anarado mean?

macof:


I guess members of the royal family( the Prince Tsola Emiko especially) don't even know their history
a chief states something contrary to the history and known tradition and they just accept? I don't think so

I'm going to be fair to them a little and say that there are perhaps two possibilities:

One - maybe the half-Portuguese prince who became Olu back then was a powerful figure, who used his connections with Portugal and some other European powers to go against tradition and force the kingmakers to crown him.

Two - maybe the rule against the children of non-Bini, non-Itsekiri women ascending the throne is a recent creation (perhaps originating from the time the Itsekiri were having feuds with their immediate neighbours, the Urhobo and the Ijaw), and so wasn't in place during the time of Olu Domingo.

Either way, I think it's a ridiculous tradition and should be gotten rid of.

Wait, this picture offended people? This very picture I'm looking at offended people? What is this - Saudi Arabia?

I laugh at people who say the nomadic Fulani are not 'sophisticated' enough to have executed this kidnapping operation. Y'all know nothing about the nomadic Fulani and their organizational structure.

Who do you suppose created and sustained the largest empire precolonial Nigeria ever saw? I'll give you a clue: the nomadic Fulani.

macof:


Lol Wulfruna you just know how to spot ojoro

Well we see that even politics now hides under the guise of tradition

Exactly.

Ioannes:


wow. But Borno state is very big o, shuuu!!!

Niger State is even bigger: 76,363 km sq.

I really sad thing. This is why the northern fulani monsters will continue to have the upper hand.

It is not just sad. It is scary. These two ethnicities (Igbo and Yoruba) are so absorbed in this feud they've got going on that they may be unable to recognise more imminent and deadlier threats from another quarter, like this issue with herdsmen. Threats that face all Southerners (and Middle Belters) alike. I have family members that saw the after effects of the clashes these guys had with villagers in Delta and Enugu. Sorry to my decent Fulani people, but these herdsmen are ruthless!

There's only one group that benefits from the division/rivalry in the south - the Northern Hegemony, a significant percentage of whom are Fulani.

Abeokuta means 'Under the Rock' and not 'Place of Rock'.
I believe the Igbo would be 'Okpuru Okwute', not 'Ebe Okwute'.

My, my.

It's pathetic and sad that there are people commenting here who would rather not talk about the facts, but would rather make stories up and point fingers at Ibos as the perpetrators of this crime. Sorry, but do you really fear the Fulani that much that you have to invent a scapegoat to take the blame for the crime they committed?

Too much amala is bad.

And a little stupidity is worse.

macof:

and you Google searched

I only did what was asked.

.

So, this rule wasn't in place when the son of a Portuguese woman became Olu?

Rotimi47:
Yoruba is spoken in more African countries than Fulani. Google search.

Yoruba language : Togo, Benin Republic, Nigeria

Fulfude (Fulani language) : Senegal, Gambia, Mauritania, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Mali, Benin Republic, Togo, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Sudan, Central African Republic.

Ymodulus:
Some months ago i wrote an article on why the Deltans are not igbos and should be left out of the Biafram struggle.

Today while watching a Nigerian Movie title " The Meeting Silverbird Cinema "

I watched this, and I noticed the igbo lady trying so hard to make sure that Rita Dominic a Delta woman accept that she is Igbo and not Delta.

Why are igbos this forceful. Deltans say leave them alone and you are still trying to force yourselves.

Guy, you COMPLETELY misunderstood that scene. The lady who said, 'Ibo nine bu ofu (all Ibo are the same) was actually the one playing the role of a Delta woman.'

It has been explained on this forum time and time again that not all Fulani have the stereotyped narrow features and light skin.

macof:


I know there's such a people as Shuwa Arabs but I never imagined they were fully settled in nigeria.

Oh yes, they are. In the northeastern corner of Nigeria. They are also found in Chad and a few other countries. Like the traditional Fulani groups, they are a pastoral people. I think their better-known name is Baggara.

macof:


I once met this girl, very dark skinned with one pin on the nose
She said she was Arab and I was like: come again

Fulaman198 where are these people found in nigeria?

LOL. There are actually lots of them. Especially in Sudan and even in S. Arabia. The Shuwa that I've seen their pictures however all looked very light-skinned...which is why Fulaman198's revelation surprised me a little.

In any case, Arab identity has become largely an issue of language and culture, and not really about race.

Oh, I just saw what you wrote about titles sometimes getting changed when they get on frontpage. *shrugs*

Isn't "Ghanaian-Yoruba-Igbo" clumsy and superfluous and crowded? "Nigerian-Ghanaian" would have been a lot neater.

macof:
Ok am not interested in ur silly arguments... I skipped most of them
Bigotry is bad for my system


@Wulfruna
Did her mother's mother marry Nnamdi Azikiwe's son?

Oh no. Nnamdi Azikiwe's aunt (that is, Zik's father's sister) was Dr Ameyo's great grandmother maternally.

@ Bigfrancis, changing the thread's title - in my own opinion - isn't necessary at all. It made it look like this whole thing is a big deal and it's not.

And left to me, all those posts where she was yelling ashewo at me would be unhidden. Especially the one where I was raped by four (or is it five?) German shepherds. I like to see people embarras themselves with such childishness.

9jacrip:



Lol.

Much respect, Mami *prostrates*

I see things have gone from 0 to 100 for him real quick put please be easy.

LOL. Well, no worries. I think he has decided to chill; or the mods got him - not sure which of the two scenarios. In any case, this isn't serious, and I've been really easy. All this na just for sh!ts and giggles - though he seemed to have tried a little to hard to land decent punches.



PS: I hope you didn't feel I was slighting your people. This was just between me and one loser.

*double post*

Emilokoiyawon:


ashewo don't come here and front - no fronting. Reject ke? Which ashewo dey reject cash? Even oyinbo dey give u 2 dollars for dog to knack.We know your runs in the UK. Ashewo see below:

I'll be damned! Little boy is a stalker - how else would he know I live in the UK.

Okay, lemme give it to you little creep straight now and save you from a future heartbreak: I don't mess with boys too immature to wipe their bums.

But you're welcome to stalk. My, I'm even slightly flattered.

9jacrip:




Aunty mi, small small o.

Ah, my Ile-Ife brother. Greetings. *goes down on knees*

I'm only having fun with the kid comic-wannabe. Nothing serious.

He has a semi-promising future as a small-time stand-up, won't you agree?

Emilokoiyawon:


ashewo how market? Ashewo look below:

*blows raspberry* Your first rant was way better, kid.

What's happening? Not losing your steam, I hope. Cause I believe you have it in you to be a third-rate comic someday...when you are much older, like 16.

You also sound sexually frustrated each time you use the old 'ashewo' line that lame-ass loser-boys use every time a girl rejects them. Not having much luck with the ladies, eh?

bigfrancis21:


@bold...that is unnecessary. Keep your points objective and vain-free.

Oh, no no. Leave the kid. I'm entertained - aren't you?

Nothing pleases me like when dummies run out of smart things to say and then go full ret.ard and begin to spurt donkey poo, helplessly. Leave him, biko!

Emilokoiyawon:


See this ashewo with no self esteem. Her sense of self is so wack that her profile pic is the image of a dead white celebrity. I guess this one has been brainwashed by the colonial masters. Ashewo WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT THE PARAGON OF BEAUTY - stop embarrassing your family. She is probably one of those mofos who bleach their skin to look white - what an animal

YORUBA-GHANAIAN If it pains you die already.

This rant amused me very much. Please, come back with more. I can do with some entertainment.

How old are you anyway - nine?
