Tell the igbos they have no fucking right to clain eguisi

Egusi plant were bought by the Portuguese from asia and didn't magically grow in the east

Your ignorance is without measure. Do you know that there are different species of melons? Do you know that not all melons have fine seeds that are eventually used for making the soup? Would you say because coconut tree- a family of the palm tree was introduced to West Africa, therefore all palm trees weren't indigenous? Where in Asia is Egwusi soup cooked traditionally? That the Igbos cook it traditionally for over 3 centuries gives them the right to claim ownership of it notwithstanding whether melon was introduced to West Africa or not. Amala is a derivative of yam which is very diversified in West and Central Africa, yet Yorubas reserve the right to claim ownership of it because only them utilized the particular process of making it. Do you understand?

funny part is,nigeria is thinkin exactly the same way over you too....

now,isnt that ironic....?

Lol. We shall see how it will end. I thank God that my people are action people and scattered all over the world. Time will come when you people will beg for peace. You can't see it now until judgement is delivered to you devils. All is fair in war; that we will never forget.

justtoodark:
look....
let me try to explain as nice as possible....

you lost the war,right....??
what do you think happens to people that loose wars....??
everybody rushed your properties and areas....!!

i know what you are trying to say and those maps realy dont make sense....but its how it is....
south south people will not give you any areas back,if this is what this discussion is all about....

This exactly is why every Igbo should forget about Nigeria and rather focus on Biafra. The don't see us like compatriots but a defeated people. They choice is ours. Remain what our enemies want or take up the gauntlet and fight to better our fortunes. All Igbos supporting this Nigeria should wake up and face reality. Biafra is the way to go.

not only in old aguata, we have them arround other parts of anambra like enugu ukwu n some other places. Most of them perform in the 9t but that of Ekwulobia performs during the day. Ogbaagu is another type of masqurade that performs in the night in Ekwulobia but its very deadly. Women whom sees them can go barren for years.

I was thinking it was just old Aguata alone that you can find it.

They are not the best.
Each are unique in their own way.

I came from neighbouring town.
Isuofia has achìkwù too.

Nanka has òsùhù.
Like achìkwù but come out only in the night.

Enugu has wonderful adamma.

If u happen to find yourself in arondizogu during their ikeji, u will feed your eyes or go to any ofala festival.

Achikwu I believe is found in almost all old Aguata LGA. It's rarity is due to the fact that it doesn't come out in the day and even at night when it emerges, all light source are switched off. It's retinue are mostly old men with lots of spiritual powers. It's said to possess spiritual powers to the level of having a woman barren for life if she sees from wherever hidden position she is. Have you ever seen a picture of Achikwu or even know how it looks? This will tell you how scarce it is.

Didn't see nwa-utam, the spiritual masquerade

Nwa-utam is in Bonny area right?

dekronik:
Not really hatred for the Igbos as you put it but lack of real self conciousness and self worth. You can imagine most people in the north try to hide their real tribal identity and claim they are Fulanis just to belong. In fact even in their homes they teach Fulani language to their children so that they won't have difficulty assimilating in later years.

I'm talking about Christians from other parts of Nigeria who can't even speak out against fulanis but will be very willing to participate in any hate against Igbos.

It’s simple , climate change is making these animals move closer to residential buildings for warmth and food

Certainly not for warmth but for food.

Dasuks:
Know them somewhat.

They don't stand a chance with other warlike Sahelians. And for the Francophone nations France left power with Christian or at least acculturated groups (Black Frenchmen) ils n'aiment pas orientales ...lol pardon my French.

It's the British setup that favored them here. Orientalist governor generals and what not.

Mind you Hausaland was very isolated in the Sahelian world. They could have easily come under Songhai rule, like the fulas and part of Kebbi and Borgu etc. But they, not of their own doing, fell outside the realms of most Sahelian powers. It only makes sense that confrontation with an organized Trans-Sahelian peoples would result in what it did, the sokoto caliphate. Think about it, what was the hausa self consciousness like.

Had they had to struggle under overlords and learned value freedom ? You know sometimes freedom could just mean anything except being under bondage. Anything at all..

Instead they were always fighting themselves etc. Fulas had different masters before fortune gave them their own here and the other one in Senegambia, which was dismantled by French rule.

You're very correct. They once had a stronghold in the senegambia but not anymore. I have been trying to know why they lost out.
As for the Hausas, the worst thing that happened to them was Islam. Without the religion, they were doing well. I noticed that the Hausas are very similar to other minorities in the north in their way of life without that religion. They're not really blood thirsty like the sahelians you mentioned. It's unfortunate that the fulanis have swallowed them already. Nothing can be done for them by outsiders. My concern is how these other tribes in Nigeria have become so powerless to challenge the fulanis despite knowing the vampires that they are. In your opinion, what do you think is the reason?

Dasuks:
That map just shows their presence/distribution. Not quite their conquests.

In Guinea where they make up the plurality (40%) they uave never ruled. Ahmed Sekou Toure taunted them and Alpha Conde for all his Buhari-friendliness mocks them in campaigns lol.

They lost out in CAR after anti Balaka turned on them and have no stakes in Cameroon or Chad except within their communities. Cameroon's political power is in the Central and economic power in the Douala etc.

In Mali, the Dogon with tacit govt support are slaughtering them in an ethnic war. They have found some refuge with the Saharan/Sahelian terrorist groups that recruit from their group, but not much else. Mind you with the dogons it isnt a farmer-herder conflict, it's hunter-herder. Cos dogons are hunters. Self explanatory why theyre schooling the Fulanis....

In Niger, where the defeated Hausa kings(sarakunan gargajiya)from what is today Naija fled, they have no real power. Niamey is more pro Hausa, Tuareg etc than Fulani. Even Kanuris that make noise here, go and see them in Diffa without any govt attention. And they cant do nada!

Now they were lucky enough to get the biggest fish of all, Nigeria. Massive petroleum reserves, immense manpower and human resource potential, biggest economy etc. Nigeria has healed the wounds of all their losses lol. And that's predicated on their control of the Hausa masses, which of course will not change for the time being.

You know them so well. Imagine weaklings beaten black and blue all over other smaller countries bragging and slaughtering people here any how. Shame on Nigerians.

dekronik:
Let me tell you a story; a fulani friend of mine in my village in Adamawa State told me when he was about twelve, his dad took him to Guinea Bissau to his roots where he was shown his paternal relatives. They spent some weeks and came back to my village. My friend is now married and he told me he is going to take his first son to Guinea Bissau too when the boy comes of age so that the boy can trace his roots when he grows up. Now let me tell you why the Fulani normally dominate smaller tribes in Nigeria. Most of these small tribes are only found in Nigeria alone, with the exception of the Chamba people found in Adamawa, Taraba and Cameroun Republic and also some parts of Central African Republic. Now when these smaller tribes have conflict with the Fulanis, the local Fulanis will never retaliate, but secretly send kola nut to there brethren in Mali, Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Niger and even as far as Mauritania inviting them to the particular location where they intend to attack. Now those invited can spend sometimes up to 5 years before they reach the population strong enough to stage an attack on the local community. They migrate in small groups without raising any suspicion and before you know it they are large enough to strike and then migrate back to where they come from following bush tracks until they reach their various countries. Now tell me how local communities can prepare for such attacks when you don't even know who is going to attack you?

My classmate back in the days was a fulani from Cameroon. Even the exercise books he was using had the cameroonian map. It was from there I knew of Duoala and Yaounde. He was from the Adamaoua province of Cameroon. My contribution on the topic was why fulanis a flexing muscles in Nigeria when they never should. It is certainly not because of those invitation that these things are happening. The simple problem is that the majority of the people of Nigeria have chosen to do channel their strength at hating the wrong people leaving the fulanis to do as the wish. If inviting their brothers from other countries is their strength, why don't they do such in other countries where they're oppressed? My point is simple; the hatred against Igbos have weakened all the other ethnic groups in Nigeria to face the fulanis.

Do you know that some tribes in the middlebelt fought against Biafra because they were worried of staying in Nigeria without Igbos in it.

BCC interviewed one of the middlebelt soldiers and he raised this concern.

This is true but it was because they were I'll informed. Gideon Orkar was the one correct man who knew the exact problem. Why he failed is still a mystery to me. I'm seriously pained by his failure.

nikky5:
The Northern oligarchy are political pundits who understood the times. The removal of the esrtwhile emir of Kano State Sanusi Lamido had a political undertone.
Just yesterday, the Galaxy TV said that President Buhari had a discussion with the governor of Nasarrawa state. It was also aired that IGP denied the banishment of SLS.
The court will definitely set aside the banishment while the dethronement may stay. The APC government need this man with impeccable CV though highly vocal and fearless.
This man will give Tinubu and Atiku a run for their money come 2023. He is the only articulate and upright Nigerian whose vote will cut across ethnic and religious lines. Buhari knows what he is doing.
The North want to retain power by all means by presenting a formidable candidate like SLS. He is on the number two in the northern political game plan after the removal of Oshiomole from his position in the party.
In a matter of days, SLS will no longer be under any restriction. He is going to be a party man.
The yorubas will learn the true game from the North. No northerner or even the west will vote for a Tinubu presidency. Never.

Exactly. You can see through their plans. This is what figured out while studying all this chess game at play. Sanusi is being released from the Royal cage for a bigger assignment.

Adeba01:
In all honesty I prefer the chinese over the whites

I don't prefer them. You surely don't know Asians. Chinese, Japanese (though I'm fond of them), Indians etc. They never had any contact with us for thousands of years until the 20th century. You've to be wary of them.

Adeba01:
I do not believe in inferiority nor superiority, it is only a mere label, to me it simply implies a different mode of living. Neither is wrong nor right. There is nothing wrong in living a simple primitive rural life over a highly complex city life. Imagine if Africa were to be industrialised as Europe. It would be hell, with the toxic air and pollution the environmental degradation and so on. I think that Africa should keep to it's natural environment with its clean air and beautiful natural landscape.
That is why I can't understand so called humans and their pathetic, shallow way of thinking (especially women). I believe it is only right for each race to occupy its designated land in which nature intended, therefore whites have europe, black people have africa, Chinese people have China, korea and japan. Indians have India, Australian aborigines have Australia, amerindians have americas and so on and so on. I don't believe idiotic human beings should transgress these natural boundaries that divine providence decreed and ordained

I do agree with most of what you said but the reality is that the failure of a particular race to meet up with the advancement of the times makes it tempting for other races to invade them. Don't you watch movies where advanced alien civilizations are said to attack Earth for our resources? This is the reality. Imagine if you are to mistakingly find a group of primitive people whose fetishes are made of pure gold and you further discover that their land is filled with precious stones. What will you do? Steal little and run away or seek to dispossess them of all the things they're undervaluing? This will help you to understand human nature. They're coming unless we sit up and develop too. We don't have to destroy nature to develop. Technology is so advanced now that lots of mistakes the pioneers did in their course of advancement can easily be avoided by us. Keep sentiments apart and think deeply. China is already positioning herself to take over many African countries and you'll agree with me that they have no conscience unlike the Europeans who Christianity made to still have some sympathy. Anyway, that was then when they were still religious. Note it that there will be scramble for Africa again.

U said a lot but said nothing ....How man south south are in kalus team ...u want none Igbo's yet 90% of the broadcast is Igbo language

Bros until Ipoh members begin to contest for elective position no body would take them seriously

Well if I said nothing despite all I wrote then I shouldn't waste my time on you. Igbo is our language and we have to speak it. Does it mean we don't recognize other languages in Biafra? No. We do recognize them too. We don't have to be speaking pidgin throughout simply because Biafra is multilingual. During Nnamdi Kanu's parents burial; didn't you see other ethnic groups in Biafra that attended? Well, we're moving on towards our goal. Give us your advice and suggestions. If you can do that, we will be fine with that.

*Sacrificing Merit for ethno-religious sentiments*
I weep for my country:

'' In 2014, I and several other Nigerian University graduates had been shortlisted to write the Presidential Special Scholarship (PRESSID) designed exclusively for First Class Nigerian graduates who wanted to pursue both Masters and PhD in any top 25

Universities in the world. President Goodluck Jonathan had set the scheme up and the idea was to build a strong team of brilliant Nigerians who will come back to serve the country years later.

There were a little above one thousand of us who wrote the exam at CHAMS, Abuja.

At the time, I was already lecturing in UNN so most of my friends (who were also my colleagues) enrolled. 16 of us in total. It was a computer-based test so we knew our fate instantly. I had scored 94% in the exam. In fact, 15 of us from UNN scored between 80 and 97%. Man!

We came out of the exam hall completely joyous. We were so sure we had got the scholarship. And we were right. Sometime in February 2015, the list of 101 successful candidates was shortlisted in the National Dailies. Fifteen of us were on that list. I had applied to Princeton University, Imperial College London and University of Toronto already. That phase of our lives was glorious.
Fast forward to March 2015, Goodluck lost the elections to Mr. Buhari. That was where things started to take a new turn. Shortly after Mr Buhari was sworn in,

The presidency had recalled the list and complained that there was no single northerner on it. It was believed it was an agenda of the South. Right before our eyes, meritocracy was shortchanged for Federal character. It was first like a joke, but we all lost that huge scholarship. It was worth
about $250,000 per person (tuition and living expenses inclusive across 5 years).

Before then I had little faith in the country but when this happened, I became weary of the country.
Thankfully, later that year, I got a full scholarship from University of Toronto for my Masters and PhD (6 years in total). Of those other 14 friends of mine, 13 of them have also moved since then - US, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Japan etc. Obviously we moved on but truth is, the life we have now was afforded to us by the Government of another country, many of which will seduce you with permanent residency and citizenship afterwards.

Any nation that shortchanges merit for anything else will fall. Nigeria has the brightest people, yet, we are where we are (in Osibanjo's voice).

These people will corroborate my story as they were also winners of the PRESSID scholarship: Odoeze Jideofor Okagu Ogadimma Olikagu Sylvia Chisom Hyacinth Ali David Chukwuma Izuogu Samuel Olisa Chima Eke and others.

Sad!

The question is what's his plan ...disturb till the word force Nigeria to give us referendum ....lol.

When the representative of the people ( elected officials ) are not siding him ....lol

Good question. I know you don't expect me to write down our plan here. Our enemies are too many so we have to be discreet about our moves. Nnamdi Kanu is gradually gathering our people together. The information dissemination has really opened the eyes of our esrtwhile ingnorant people to the huge deceit on going in Nigeria. You will agree with me that the journey of a thousand miles starts with a foot step. See it like that that we in IPOB have started the journey. What we need is support from people like you. Bring your good suggestions and advice so we get our goal faster. Nnamdi has not been sleeping and so are numerous other Biafrans. We don't have to wait for our politicians to begin the movement. Though our elites are needed, yet freedom is like a fire, everything combustible adds to its sustainance. We all can't be chanting Biafra in our bedrooms while our enemies are on the field slaughtering people and taking over their lands.
With IPOB, our people have a rallying ground to face the impending catastrophe in the contraption. Can't you see it? K'anyi tinye aka were kwado nweta Biafra. Akomonu agaghi enyere anyi aka.

I total support Biafra ...but not Kalus clueless approach without direction

Ok. Be mindful of how you speak of a man who is championing the battle of a whole nation. You may disagree with his mode of operation but you don't have to call him clueless. If you have a better approach to the achieve Biafra, why not pursue it and help your people? K'anyi ghara ite onweanyi unyi na ama.

The greatest motivation for invasion is the belief that the invaded people are inferior. Certainly, the belief that negroes are inferior still persists and with the failure of black leadership in virtually all black countries, other races will be motivated to invade Africa once again and this time, the land of Africa will be forcefully taken from the blacks. This will start in less than 40years from now.
Africa would have been taken from us 200yrs ago but for our harsh weather. Today, the circumstances has change. Refrigeration and advance in medicine has guaranteed the survival of these races in our hot weather. We're only racing against time. They will surely come.

Where will that happen if not you are an inferior person with a great degree of complex

The Igbo nation is too strong to be taken on by igala ok
Igalas and igbos co exist way back I have igalas relation with Igbo mum and also I have seen Igbo dad marrying igalas so what the F ...is ur problem Mr man why do you hate other tribes too much

Bloddy Israel wanna be Jewish man calling you black ape and you believe you from israel LMFAO

When all igbos have not the same origin and real igbos truly know that .

Don't mind that character. He's a Hausa/fulani man who hates Igbos but always claim to be Igbo so as to sow confusion and division to anything that concerns Igbos. He doesn't speak for Igbos. Disregard him.

WE KEEP LEAVING AND GETTING JOBS ALL OVER THE WORLD.


WAT REMAINS IS REMOVING THE IGBO TERRITORY FROM HERDSMEN CONTROL.


IGBO ARE TOO BRILLIANT FOR OUR LIVES TO BE UNDER HERDSMEN.

This exactly how we want all Igbos to reason. Leave Nigeria to die under the invasion of the terrorist herdsmen. Don't pity any tribe that loves being a willing tool of the caliphate. Focus all your energy in building Biafra. We are too blessed to be tied down by a group of destroyers.

mrvitalis:
Nigeria know for we to move forward merit must be the bases of selection ...the problem is if u use merit igbos would come on top and dominate like the 50s and 60s

So instead of igbos to dominate let's keep moving in circle ...n never allow them leave cos if they leave in 10 years they can develop weapon to strike any part of Nigeria at will

So you know this too well yet you don't support Biafra? What will need to happen before you abandon the shithole with no future for a more promising Biafran nation? Time waits for no one bro. Join us today let's build a nation for our children where their future can be guaranteed. Nigeria has dampened ours.

Stop playing victim and be grateful.

Nothing would have happened without the generosity of the Federal Government after the war.
Millions of pounds were pumped into the region.
Federal allocation for the duration of the war was saved secretly by the Finance Minister and handed over after the war.
Millions were put into the African Continental Bank and millions of Ibos were given FREE TWENTY POUNDS by the munificent Federal Government.

It is dishonest to pretend that Ibos did a Jesus in turning the River Imo into milk and honey or fed thousands with 2 loaves and 5 fishes.

The Ibos were lifted after the war with cash from Nigeria.
Before the war the road from Port Harcourt to Aba was a single lane road NOT a motorway.

and has verified that the judge in question is a biafran judge.

I like the war you guys always profile any Easterner that stands for truth against your evil plans towards our region as a Biafran or IPOB members. It shows that truth reside with us. Always remember that the days are gone where no one challenges the evil in the land. All lovers of truth have a rallying ground in IPOB.
