Kweenisha:

Do you know the history of Port Harcourt?
you keep shouting one Nigeria,do you know history?
Start by telling me the original name of the land called Port Harcourt.
That is your assignment  for tonight

I categorically agree with you on your second point, first point though we all care

Pataki:

@ JosBoy,

Are you in support of the killings in Jos?

@ JosBoy,

Are you in support of the killings in Jos?

All these killings are just simple first degree murder, which is punishable by hanging under Nigerian law.
Laws will not make a difference, the police needs to improve their procedures for dealing with this problem.

JosBoy4Lif:

The Dahomey people of Benin wanted nothing to do with Yoruba. So I don't know what 3 countries you are talking about.
Dahomey were always warring with Yoruba, although their culture native religions were/are almost identical go figure. Brothers hating brothers I guess.

onye_ngbu:

How can you tell us where the igbo lands starts and ends. All the way from Jos.

There are too many things about Rivers and the people that you do not obviously know.

Nobody is doing that assignment for you.

Seun:

Where did you learn your history from? or you are making the mistake of coming to conclusions about a soap opera in which you watched only the last episode? are you that ignorant to be unaware that there are Yorubas in Togo and Benin who trace their ancestry to Ife and formed part of the old Oyo Empire?

JosBoy4Lif:

How can I be in agreeance with such a savage act?
But unless we find the root problem and deal with it, which is indeed political. The killings will continue to manifest themselves.

You can claim Delta and River State ,but we know that there were non Igbo indigines there well before Igbos came and settled there

I don't want to get drawn in into that because that should be a thread in another forum, my point is that these colonial artificial partitions distrupted much of the natural and historical partitions that existed and are major factors in the conflicts that exist amongst different ethnicities in the various nations consisting of black people rather than what the other poster implied about the inability of black people to live together as a collective being some sort of genetic trait.

When we canvassed that we divide this country along ethnic lines, many of una here say make we sharrapp. See what we're all passing through now because of some useless election in the land of cattle rearers. Election that will bring in people who will share proceeds from oil sales, and not from goat herding.

See how lives are wasted in the streets of Jos over nothing. Both the innocent and guilty are all dying. And like Jakumo said sometime ago, the outside world does not give a . . . . . . . what happens in our hole in there. . . . there are more important things to lookout for elsewhere. The US is in a recession already, why waste precious time filming cattle rearers? goat herders who are tired of life? This is how some folks killed so many people because of some cartoon in Denmark.

Me, I don tire for this country. And I repeat that we split quick quick. Nothing will happen. Life will go on - smoothly.

onye_ngbu:

Since you know the history why not start by telling us when the igbos 'came and settled there'

JosBoy4Lif:

Why not just make it simpler, by telling us if Igbo were first to settle in these lands.

O boy i tire for this myopic people. Maybe when their families become directly involved they will open their eyes.

RedHotChic:

What shall we do? who in his right mind  is not tired of this union called Nigeria?. Should we continue to experiment on  what will work?. I bet you before 6 months now, the animosity will shift from Jos to some other Northern region where they will massacre southerners and middle beltans again over one frivolous thing.  One power they have over us is the way they value life. They have no value for any life including theirs, so if you are waging a war against them, good luck because they will not relent until you kill them all. We are in serious trouble.

JosBoy4Lif:

Kweenisha:

again who were the first settlers of Port Harcourt?
you're going round in circles.
You can't claim knowledge of something and yet be afraid to state it.
You started this trend didn't you?
Oya tell us
