Topic
I am loyal to none. . . . cool


No offence, but this view point mirrors the actions of our leaders. They appear to be governed by self interest.

Am a Chritain Yoruba man from Ekiti, who lives in Nigeria.

Reason: Christainity is the whole essence of my being. There is an Ekiti cos there is a Yoruba nation, there would always be a Yoruba nation, even without a Nigeria.

I love Nigeri, God bless Nigeria.

This message goes to Igbo Fathers:
As an Igboman who have passed through HELL in Nigeria, and who is determined to effect a real change ( create Biafra or create a confederal or truly federal Nigeria), I believe I have to say this: Isn't it wise to be more attentive to what our daugthers are doing?

There seems to be an unannounced mad rush for Igbo girls by some of these tribes that hate us the most.
How can we secure our future when our daugthers are in chokehold relationships with these people

I know we can sometimes find ourselves in desperate situations (daughter desperate for a husband), but please try to explain to these girls that the people they are marrying have not apologised for the starvation of 2 million in Biafra.

Igbo fathers, be more attentive to your daughters dates. Our sons have been ok., they always marry Igbo girls, but the Igbo girls!

If we don't direct and orient these girls right, we will wake up one day to find that our nation has been stolen right from under our eyes!
Igbo anya saa nu!

Marrying from the old EAST is ok , but Yoruba??!! Chineke ekwela ihe ojo!

Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by Onlytruth(m): 8:12pm On Sep 17, 2009
Of course this goes deeper, but the summary is that we should wait until after Nigeria is resolved one way or another before deciding where to marry from. History teaches us that.
There is nothing more difficult than reining in a love struck daughter even if the devil is her suitor! So, lets take this serious.
A day will come when they can marry anyone, but that day has not yet come. We don't want to have Igbo girls/woman running around Nairaland peddling warped logic. Before we know it, they will lead the enemy inside the family treasure and security chest!

Actually it doesn't. Believe me, if Igbomen married from anywhere, there would be no Igbo nation today. We may travel far and wide, but we ALWAYS return home to marry. We just need to rein in our daugthers more. No offense intended. We need to know who the enemy is first.

so all the Igbo men married to non-Igbos are actually from some other tribe?


@ bolded, well, if that's a problem for you then I'm sure you have the solution. Other tribes marry from everywhere but they still dey kampe.

abeg dont misunderstand my post- nothing concern me with the matter and I could care less. I'm simply commenting- end of story.

If you have a daughter btw hook her up with banom. You cant go wrong with that thing.
Re: Are You Loyal To Nigeria Or Your Ethnicity? by Onlytruth(m): 8:34pm On Sep 17, 2009
Anyway my message is clear. I believe Igbo fathers understand me. Some of them may not agree with me but the message is clear enough.
There are Igbo women running their mouths here on NL whom I suspect are in such relationships. We won't have that happening if we paid more attention to our daughters' suitors. I rest my case!

Your case is settled then. Your support lies in both ND and Biafra (answer to your ancestory). Your fiancee will have little choice but to accept and comply.
These are crucial times.

Chei, onlytruth,

What do we do now?


Is it possible for igbo to accept this pot pourri of genes,


Sapele/Igbo wan marry Igbo/Yoruba

Na Biafra gain ? Will you give them Igbo/Biafra citizenship?

Think again.
It appears you are still " in the woods".

The choice is Nigeria in a federal/confederal arrangement as your breakaway bid is being folied daily by
the likes of Adaku123 and her mates all over Nigeria.

You have to live with it. and I hope you will grow old to accept what you cannot change.




Hope you can b

Udezue is a blueprint of what we aim for in Biafra. "Exotic" but not confused. I said what I said because there were some Igbo ladies talking BULLCRAP. I for one don't want to have to need a visa to visit my in-laws if I can help it.

We can't even define "Naija".  People were killed in certain parts of Nigeria even after marrying into the host communities. It happened. Those people married into "Naija". They woke up one early morning dead. Killed by some of their supposed in-laws. We have a history that people should study. You ignore that to your own peril.

I would even prefer you marry an English man, than some of your so-called compatriots. There is only one part of Nigeria were foreigners weren't killed en-masse for whatever reason - THE EAST

The English won't kill her just because they heard that some Nigerian committed 419, even if the Nigerian duped the queen! At least they would remember she is a foreigner that needs their protection. So girl, watch your back!
