You headless mobs took your madness to US court, what a mad Obidient group.

Rossikk:
LIAR.

99.8% of Americans do not know who Tinubu is and do not care.

When they hear the word Nigeria, they think ‘Burna Boy’, ‘Davido’, ‘Wizkid’, ‘Asake’……

They do NOT know who Tinubu is.

The topic of Tinubu or Nigerian politics is TOTALLY UNKNOWN in America and the western world.

The only time they mentioned Tinubu - very briefly - was the day he was sworn in as president of Nigeria.

Since then, ZERO MENTION.

America, when it thinks of foreign countries, talks about Russia, China, Ukraine, UK, Mexico, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Afghanistan etc.

Africa is not on their radar at all.

You can go through an entire year of watching American TV and not hear them mention Nigeria ONCE.

OP, you are an Igbo IPOB LIAR.

And you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself for dwelling in lies and fabrication.

creativehubb:
You are wrong and misinformed. The president is the commander in chief, and must listen to the cries of Nigerians being killed or kidnapped by terrorists and bandits. As long as terrorists are terrorizing communities the president can order elimination by troops, as had been done earlier.

What am talking about, is the terrorists caught or arresoand charged to court, the court should sentence to death and state governors must sign the death warrant.

We have a system, all it takes is strong legislation, and government signing of warrants, the terrorists will be executed.

Ehikwe22, I like your insights on this topic.

The etymology of the word Odogwu is of pure Yoruba origin via the
Igalas or Edos who had contacts with the Delta North, Anambra, and
Enugu axis.


Olori Ogun means "head of warriors." Olori means leader or head and Ogun means war in Yoruba language.

That loan word is got from "Ogun" and found it's way most definitely via the Igalas (Igala is classified as a
Yoruboid language) who also have
Yoruba bloodlines in the entire
Igala ancestral family tree.

According to the late Attah of Igala kingdom, HRM Michael Ameh Oboni, in a 2016 Saturday Punch interview, migrants from the
Wukari (Jukun) area in Taraba moved along the Benue River and fused with a significant number of Yorubas and Edos at the river confluence area in the Kogi axis. Hence, the fusion of Yoruba words and words from ethnicities that fused to what you call Igala today.

There are indigenous Igalas and Igala-associated or mixed communities in Delta North such as Ebu, Illah, Asaba, Okpanam. Anambra North and Onitsha has
Igala roots (forming their quarters there), and Northern Enugu State has Igala ethnic presence for over 500 years.



"SIMILAR Yoruba/Igala words"
1] Egungun (Masquerade in Yoruba) is spelled Egwugwu by Igalas and that got into Ibo language as a loan word.


2] Ogun (In Yoruba language, it can mean war, medicine) is spelled as
Ogwu in Igala and used as a loan word in Ibo. E.g. Money medicine or "Ogun Owo" in Yoruba is "Ogwu Ego" in Ibo!


3] Ogede is plantain and bananain
Yoruba is exactly Ogede in Igala.

4] Akuko is cock in Yoruba and is Akuko in Igala language and is a loan word in Ibo.

5] Omi is water in Yoruba, and is also Omi in Igala but is called Mmiri in Ibo.

6] Ifa (the Yoruba religion ) is
Yoruba and Igalas call it Ifa too but is corrupted and called "Afa" by the Ibos via it's introduction to the Nri area through the same Igala contact. It was the arrival of
Igala into the Nri area that led to the introduction of the kingship system in Nri. Prior to that, the aborigenes had no monarchical system as exemplified by the Eze Nri.


The Igala influence on Anambra, Enugu, and Delta States was very significant for over 500 years as to have caused the entry of Yoruba/Yoruboid loan words into the central Ibo language. A little close to 40 percent of Igala words are of Yoruboid origin. Same with
Itsekiri who also have major Yoruba bloodlines (of 3 subclans of Ilaje, Ijebu and Ife) in addition to Edo immigration from the Binis in the 1480s through Prince Ginuwa into Ode Itsekiri where he and his exiled team met Chief Lenuwa and his people of Ijebu origin, and Ginuwa settled in their midst and married some of the Ijebu women.

In Anambra, Igala communities such as Igbokenyi exis. Aguleri also has a strong migratory Igala ancestry presence from about 400 years ago from where they interacted with the aborigenes.

Even the popular RED chieftaincy cap was first introduced into the
Nsukka area of Enugu State from Igalaland by the Igalas and the wearing of the red cap then spread out hence, it is NOT indigenous to the Ibo aborigenes.


All these have strong verifiable sources online and offline.

Edogun is a word that's rooted in Edo culture and tradition for thousands of years even from the Ogiso era. This word was corrupted by the Ikas and the Aniochas to Odogun and transmitted to the Igbos through Onicha. Another word that got to the Igbos through the Ikas and Aniochas through Onitcha is Ewere which the Igbos call Awele. Before you argue, try and research this.

I'm an Ika man and I understand where most of our words and cultures came from

creativehubb:
Why is it hard for us to have strong laws against terrorists and bandits, since they are threatening our corporate existence as a nation.

Are the lives of bandits and terrorists more important than lives of Nigerians?

When will we get angry and fight back?

This is a shame.


Nigeria government should ignore UN, ignore Amnesty international, ignore the compromised human rights organization, follow sensible nations like China, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, America, and use death penalty for terrorists, and bandits, without this, Nigeria is on a downward fall...terrorism will destroy Nigeria, unless we destroy them, stop jailing terrorists and bandits, sentence them to death, and the death sentence must be carried out. This is what our governors and house of representatives should be doing now... terrorists will destroy Nigeria if we don't kill them, but jail them.

How do you say peace be upon you in Hebrew, the way Yeshua (Jesus) said it in John 20:21?
Shalom Aleichem.
How do you say peace be upon you in Arabic?
Salam alaykum.
What is the difference? Virtually nothing. And then when a Muslim greets you as-salamu alaykum, you reject it or get upset, or behave as if he has cursed you? Arabic and Hebrew are closer to each other, being Semitic, than the English you speak is closer to your own precolonial language. If an Arab speaks Arabic, a Hebrew can pick it, and vice versa. Whether in Hebrew, Arabic, or English, all we want is peace! Amin!
