Ihuomadinihu:

Where are your diapers? Can assure what? There is nothing i wouldn't see on nairaland. Free data in the wrong hands. Way too childish for a thread like this!

spanishkid:
isn't it too early this morning to be looking for customers on nairaland? Gerrat. Ashawo. Akuna Akuna.

spanishkid:
same way your wretched father died from the bullets of the Nigerian army.

Ihuomadinihu:
Lmao!
Which customers? Boy shut your trap up!! Enlightened people are correcting certain misconceptions,it's either you contribute or you simply walk away and stop messing up yourself. It's unfortunate that the only addition you can make on this insightful thread is to use words like ashawo and prostitute for someone you don't know beyond this thread. Child, keep those insults to yourself,i don't have that time!

Ihuomadinihu:

Yes,that is why i said as the case may be, marital status inclusive.

janefrancisca:
For all the years you have been discussing the issues regarding our existence, what solutions have you come up with or even proffer?. Please cut the OP some slack and allow us to bask in the euphoria of our diversity.

ADULTBASE:
I know say na igbo own go stay different!

khenykhey:
The igbos are the ugliest Like if you agree

ADULTBASE:
I'm Igbo and I'm proud of my land!

Armaggedon:
Op, you are not serious.
Next time do well to back up strong statement involving claim with citations.
You erred by making claims of benin cultural hegemony over Igbo even when it is clearly unfounded. This clearly gives you away as a benin supremacist. You denied by saying you're from 'Delta'. If your article is not influenced by ethnic bias, why dont you mention your ethnic group since this is a cultural thread and Delta is not an ethnic group.

I know it was going to end in a tribal war

I've always wondered why Igbos and Yorubas antagonise each other on Nairaland. My little experience on this thread has shown me exactly why!!! Most people can simply not speak without putting on the toga of ethnic brigandry and callousness. I'm an Urhobo and even maternally Igbo yet I have been defending Edo as if it is my language. This is to prove a point to those who rather than make points in as civil a way as possible, would rather flare up over a statement that their culture was influenced by another. No sane person would be annoyed by that. Even English was influenced by French and German! Cultures influence each other. The degree of influence might have been exaggerated but it is present nonetheless. So when people start saying what I wrote is trash, bunkum, rubbish, I get irked up and I am ready to stand my ground all year long. I didn't even say Urhobo influenced Igbo but Edo! For God's sake, who doesn't know that the old Edo empire had overarching influence in the whole of Southern Nigeria? Who doesn't know that the Obas controlled and monopolised trade, slavery, military technology and a whole lot of other things? Who doesn't know that most tribes even claim Benin descent so as to be perceived as being royal? Who doesn't know that Urhobos, Isokos, Okpes, Ndokwas, Ikas and some parts of other Igboid groups were directly or indirectly influenced by the Benins in culture, royalty, fashion, monarchy, etc? Even the Ooni of Ife acknowledged the role played by Ekeladerhan in shaping Ife's monarchy! They called me a supremacist for stating the truth when I have even nothing to gain from the saga! I like objective research and that is why all this is occurring. Subjective perceptions of issues are being echoed because of misinterpretation of intent and message!

Neplusultra:
I presume you are the Op, You instigated the quarrel by posting half truths! Where did you get dat lie of Edo influencing Igbo dressing? Did you expect people dat know more dan you to keep shut Talking about Igbo/Yoruba antagonising each other,you also want to claim you dont know who always draw the first blood?! Please take several seats abeg! Today is Sunday!

Neplusultra:
Dont mind him! Ekwensu odu ogonogo! sowing seed of discord!

"Ekwensu odu ogonogo" - Yet they speak of who draws first blood. It is well with you!

You just proved my point on the cause of tribal wars online here. However I wont be a party to a war that has been irreconcilably fought since yesternight. I'd leave you in particular to whatever you want to think.

Ihuomadinihu:

Nobody invented headtie. Yorubas have their aso oke gele. Igbos have their ichafu. The silk gele or ichafu is imported from india and China and is mostly asociated with none yoruba groups. Years ago, Yoruba and Hausa ladies wouldn't touch the imported headtie not to talk of using it. These assumptions irritate me. O di egwu.

fratermathy:


This issue has been resolved. Do not bring it up again.

I have nothing to do with Benin or Edo. I am a proud and full blooded Urhobo! If anyone is being ethnically mischievous, its certainly those who cannot make points without using uncouth language and diction like you just did.

IamK2I:
Those before me didn't see anything, those after me may not see anything!

I see something; NIGERIA IS A GREAT NATION!

UNITED WE STAND Divided we Fall!

Edo isn't completely landolocked. It has Gele Gele.

spanishkid:
you even have time to reply insecure igbo losers. How is edo landlocked? Edo has many rivers and access to international waters. Gele Gele and Agenebode have access to international waters. If edo was landlocked how did the Portuguese come to Benin to trade? Common sense is not common amongst igbos. They are cursed. Funny enough no south east state is as rich as edo or even has half of what edo has. Na jealousy dey worry them. Bros I've been to their region and after the north in terms of poverty they're next. A tribe of people who use pawpaw leaf to cook stew. Igbos are a disease. The thief I shot trying to scale my fence earlier this week was igbo. Their women are very cheap. Do you know you can sleep with their women for as low as one plate of peppersoup and one bottle of malt? A very useless tribe indeed. Don't be deceived by what they say here on nairaland. They have nothing. Why do you think they're trying to include south south in their failed biafran dream?

I like objective research and that is why all this is occurring. Subjective perceptions of issues are being echoed because of misinterpretation of intent and message! Igbos didn't copy as some people have misconstrued me as saying, rather they were in a way or another influenced by the widespread cultural Renaissance established by the campaigns of the old Edo kingdom and especially at the time of Oba Ewuare the Great who conquered Eko. This Renaissance is akin to that of England in the 15-16th century when Italian classicism and intellectualism swept across England like wildfire, when schools were built to learn Rhetoric, monasteries were destroyed by King Henry VIII of the Tudor Dynasty. Even dressing such as those worn by noblemen like Francis Bacon, Edmund Spenser, etc became more flamboyant and different! What of the early 20th Century or the Modern period? England had overarching influence on other cultures! English dressing such as the use of suits became a standard official clothing! English became a language of business and diplomacy. What about the present? The American culture has become the norm. Our traditional values are being eroded slowly by American norms. We have homosexuality, feminism, democracy and so many cultural and fashion-based changes due to America's cultural hegemony on Africa. Are we going to deny that too in the name of Tribalism? Even my native Urhobo is waning. Younger generations no longer speak the language. They'd rather speak English, another man's language. Our cultural wears are giving way for Suits, Jeans, and other foreign wears. We all go to Church and have neglected Igbe, Ovughere, Udje and other cultural religions. Cultural hegemony is unavoidable. If the Igbos were never influenced by any culture at all, they'd still look like this:

So there is no tribal war here! Just people who dont want to accept that their culture has influenced and have been influenced by surrounding cultural groups! I find that insultive to intellectual reasoning.

They are so delusional. And their women are very overrated and cheap yet Edo women are thought to be #1 in prostitution business. All throughout Nigeria Igbo broads fill up the brothels. Very vain bi.tches. Also most of the Igbo guys who brag about how rich and loaded they are usually get their money in questionable ways too.. A very annoying set of people, especially that thing that calls herself Ihuomadinihu or whatever.
