Sergio101:
Dear Alexbell and Abohboy..... I have a question for you two, because I have been taking good note of you guys stand on the politics of igboland and Nigeria.

1. You two prefers "United Nigeria" to "one Nigeria"........ Can you guys clearly state the difference between this two, is it not the greatest confusion trying to make out meaning out of shits??. As a one Nigeria....
We are divided. As a United Nigeria..... The division will still be there, so what's clearly the difference. United-divided huh??

2. On the case of going contrary to the secession course.... My question to you two.
Do you not sometimes in your sober state think about the fate of your fellow Igbo brethren in the civil war, in subsequent years, and in recent happening. So according to you guys assumption the blood of these fallen heroes should go in vain...... Just to be a gentlemen of United-divided.......... Gentlemen my ass.

You said IPOB should mobilise the use of domination of politics of the state.
Is the Era of domination not gone??......... Understand that the stage at which IPOB is now, a step they lose, is a gain to Nigeria government. And even if IPOB try to let go every chaos, Nigeria government will not just count it as a win but will also try to eliminate every individual that has served for the IPOB (I. e IPOB DOC.).
Please you guys should clear me in your own view, the right direction and the implications of the steps you guys are trying to adopt.

One Henry one's Said, "is life so dear or so sweet to be bought with the price of chains on the neck??, Forbid it o Lord, I know not the course others may follow, but as for me...... Give me freedom or nothing"

Bkayy, idioki........ I love you guys view.
Thanks a lot

1. I never made any statement on a united Nigeria and I only use the term One Nigeria because it is the general term used today

2. On secession i've said very clearly until we make a united concerted push to put a good leader and a good government into power across the board I cannot support secession I must first see if Nigeria can truly work under said reforms before I can simply up and claim that secession is the right path Nigeria has every single ingredient needed to become a superpower
Large population
Large educated class
Hard working people
Natural Resources ( Oil, Coal, Gas, Tantalum, Gold, Iron, Tin, Bitumen etc. )
Large diaspora network
And access to the coast
So for such a great nation with such a massive potential to go to waste cannot be possible in my eyes until I see all groups come together and support a party outside of APC and PDP and give power to a good leader whether it be Moghalu, Durotoye, Adesina or just any other Nigerian that is fit to run the country well and not only at presidential level but from bottom to top all Nigerians make an effort to change the system till that day comes I cannot seriously take a stance on secession because we've never actually seen what Nigeria can be.

Idiko1:


Most Nigerians have ways of reasoning. When does construction of anything determine who owns the territory? Nigeria built many structures in Bakassi yet foolishly gave up the territory to Cameroon.

Yes they agreeed to give it up have they agreed to cede those territories to Biafra and the concluding infrastructure? No so it's not a Biafran bridge but a Nigerian bridge on Nigerian land

Reminds of Taraba and Adamawa state especially the Mambilla Plateau area also reminds me of the green hills of the Western cape and the drakensberg

BKayy:

These people are the reason why I insult the whole of black people by mistake.
Infact I don't know what I am still doing here with people like this but I guess we still have to enlighten our dumb brothers irrespective of the annoying stupidity that comes from them.

Do you know that the same Britain that is holding them down fought two bloody wars to free themselves first from the Roman direct political authority and second from the Italian (Roman) spiritual authority (Catholic Church) birthing Anglican but black people will always reason through their anus.
Funniest part is that the first one was instigated by a woman. A woman, not ordinary woman, a mother "Nwaanyị ji ụmụ". Though she didn't later actualise it totally but she laid the foundation.

The British didn't fight any war to be free of the Romans they were freed when the Roman empire collapsed from the onslaught of the Germans and they didn't fight any war to be free of the Roman Catholic Church either they simply persecuted those who fought against the conversion of the state and in the first place the basis of the separation from the Roman Catholic church was stupid he just wanted a son and the church wouldn't allow him to divorce

BKayy:

Then support the referendum let the vote of the imaginary majority count.

You'll just be typing some things without research. 98% of Ndigbo detest Nigeria like leprosy that's why Green and white is the rarest something you can see an Igbo man wear. Start taking note of it from today.

Where did you get evidence that stipulates 98% of Igbos dislike Nigeria? I have no problem with a referendum but it should be done when Nigeria is in a better position as in when a new constitution, federalism, civil reforms etc have been put in place but if proper change isn't realized in 2023 I will join you guys in pushing for secession

BKayy:

Did breaking of Ottoman Empire result in precolonial wars?
Did breaking of Soviet Union result in it?
Yugoslavia nkọ?
Czecko-slovakia?
Ethiopia?

These are actual unions with a degree of consent and direct force unlike Nigeria where the people don't know what is happening at all.
Let me tell one thing, ask anybody that witnessed 1966. Everything happening now was exactly what was happening in 1966 before the coup, The people called for it and alot of educated people like Wike Soyinka defended it. The coup saved Wole Soyinka from carrying out his resolution of turning into a rebel against the Western Government.

Back to the foundation to Nigeria. Lugard reported on voice tape that there was no atom of relationship among the reps as the sat moping each other like aliens. Some don't even know that some particular groups existed. He said it was like a meeting of animals of different species. When the reporter asked him how he intend to manage or does he see any PEACEFUL future for the new amalgamated colony, he answered "That doesn't matter as it will guarantee British interests and profits easier"

Nigeria will stay as one it's okay

cybersoldiers:


Only Yoruba's still believe in one Nigeria and for their selfish interests.

Wrong. Many Igbos still believe in One Nigeria

bridge linking Ambazonia Ekok to Biafra Mfum

Biafra is coming fast

That bridge was built by the Nigerian government so you cannot claim it as your territory

OGHENAOGIE:
you can suck moghalu dick for all i care but next president is osinbajo ok

Osinbajo won't get the ticket for APC and you know it the battle will be Tinubu vs Atiku unless of course Osinbajo switches to a third force party to run for president that would be the funniest thing ever anyways continue to wallow in ignorance

Because they know if things don't change in 2023 it will be the end of Nigeria and they want to get their turn in looting before the dissolution but hopefully we the people will wake up and stop them from doing such and instead of voting APC or PDP again we will wake up and vote in a proper party

Why are white pple wearing this?

Some of U guys are obsessed wt whiteness.

When you design a piece of clothing on those free websites there's pre photographed models you can apply said clothing to the thatg same woman has been used in thousands of photos wearing different clothing it's all digital

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

After Chiwetalu Agu ordeal and that of that old woman ordeal in the hands of Nigerian soldiers Biafrans have once again turn their stumbling blocks into a stepping stone by bringing out different fashions of the regalia.

So you mean Igbos cannot import other breeds of cow from any part of the world? Even the so called northern spec, they can't bred it in the SE?
Guy I feel your pain

And in this current economy you want to import cow meat?


To breed it would take 2 years plus he already told you that

OGHENAOGIE:
osinbajo should resign cos an unknown myopic mind like you says so... Continue supportive moghalu but don't ever say he is d best options in a country filled with intelligent minds... U don't know what it takes to win presidency moghalu galvanize u think it's popularity on Twitter...

Osinbajo should resign because it shows when wrong is done he isn't an accesory to it if he can sit around and watch Buhari lead the country so badly without as much as a word then he's a bad leader and a bad person

And I said currently Moghalu is the best option which other Nigerian apart from Moghaku is currently in the media spotlight right now and is actually most likely going to be a decent leader i'm not saying he's our only option but right now who else is there really for us to go for? Till that person comes in i'm supporting Moghalu

Drink to allow your brain to Grow and learn, young man.

You really said the Yoruba language is coptic in origin and you expect anyone to take you seriously? You're the one who needs to drink infact at this rate of stupidity drinking water cannot save you only brain surgery can save you better start saving up

rvp2018:
This is not general case. In most places it's middle and rich kids who end up in good schools and good careers - and poor remain in inter-generational poverty. Escaping that vicious cyclic poverty is not a joke. It's very rare to find schools like Olympic where a millionaire in Nairobi Karen would take their kids to deep to poverty in Kibra because they will ace their exams..and almost for free...than taking them to private school.

Most slums you will find beset by serious structural problems - like drugs, crime, prostitution - it almost very hard for kids born there to escape it. Most slums kids end up rude, violent and almost unteachable. Soon they start beating teachers, skipping classes, perform poorly and drop out of schools.

You're just the obtuse Nigerian as always.

I was talking more about poor children working hard to get out of poverty and not about rich people going to schools in poor areas.

And how exactly am I obtuse?

rvp2018:
Look like it was doing well but went down when free primary school was intruduced - Kibera's Olympic primary went down. It was giant during our time. Those slums kids use to beat almost everyone.

Another difference you will notice with kenya slums - crime is almost zero - any little crime attract instant lynching - drugs and such very minimal - there is poverty but no serious structural probelms.

This is a general case around the world poorer students tend to work a lot harder to escape poverty

That applies to everywhere in Africa a few months ago an old woman was robbed in a slum in cape town and they burnt the man alive with a tyre even in Nigeria same thing happens nothing special

Olu317:
Why are you this way? Point out anywhere I claimed Hebrews were Egyptians!

Rather, I stated that Hebrew influenced Egyptians and the whole of Africa with their orientation of a monotheistic God. While pointing to this, I mentioned hieoroglyphs that attested to this in Egypt .

I stated further, that Hebrews married Africans in all ramification by pointing to Nubian-Cush,Ethiopians etc to affirm this which are found in myth of these ethnic groups.

Beside, the Hebrew-canaanite were affirmed to do annual yam festival as the Yorubas. Meawhile there are account that stated Hebrews were attacked, wage war against in the land of Ra Knub in Egypt byEgyptians because of difference in ideology attach to Ram. The Egyptians worship ram while the ancient Hebrew use ram,bull sheep, etc for sacrifice

The ancient Hebrew before disappearance of the speakers of the language whom were traced to West Africa, spoke Coptic language which coincindentally is Yorubas protolanguage. Interestingly, the Egyptians language was called Demotic language, which is not the same as Coptic language.

Infact, Demotic (from Ancient Greek: δημοτικός dēmotikós, 'popular') is the ancient Egyptian script derived from northern forms of hieratic used in the Nile Delta, and the stage of the Egyptian language written in this script, following Late Egyptian and preceding Coptic.

Principally, the overall influence of Hebrew in Egypt cannever be underated because they were kings, priests, mercenaries, herbologists, religionists, wealthy ones etc. So no one sneak in anything , instead, you propagate emotions, rather than facts.

The only country not colonised in Africa is Ethiopia and this country recognised the Hebrew identity in Africa and from where they migrated from in Near East land.


This is my point.

Everything you just said is Bullshit

OGHENAOGIE:
there's no third force anywhere anyone telling u that is a big liar as for options Prof osinbajo is a better option with APC... Tambuwai is there to for PDP they are very intelligent than moghalu deceiving u pple with ilussion... There's rochas too... It's ur right to support moghalu but he is going no where simple...

Osinbajo wouldn't be a good leader he can see the incompetency of Buhari yet he's made no effort to chage things or to even resign for the poor leadership which shows he will easily be an accessory to corruption as leader

Tambuwal is equally corrupt and he wouldn't develop Nigeria albeit better then Buhari but utlimately both him and Rochas wouldn't be good leaders a lot of corruption as usual and mediocre infrastructure projects.

Moghalu is a better option then all of them but not the leader Nigeria really needs but at this point in time where the right leader hasn't popped up Moghalu is the best option and there's no question for that matter

And for you to claim there's no third force makes no sense a third force can make itself all it needs is a central leader who inspires the masses and a basic party structure of 50 to 100 thousand members once those are achieved the creation of a third force really isn't that difficult and right now the closest we have to that is Moghalu although I won't vote him if another party that truly fits all the criteria comes up

Olu317:
Abohboy,
The influence of Hebrew cum Canaanite cum Yorubas on Egypt from religious and kingly concept is overwhelming.

The reality is that the ancient Hebrew did not fancy Egyptian Hieroglyphs and worship of Ram as such which was the reason the Hebrew groups maintained their identity despite the race has a multifaceted human complexion, ranging from darkskin, lightskin, Caucasians, Albinos, Half-caste in Egypt, Morocco, Sudan,Mali,Chad Basin, Yorubaland

An excerpt
The first public revelation of the earliest continuous Semitic text ever deciphered has taken place at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The presentation was made by Prof. Richard Steiner, professor of Semitic languages and literature at Yeshiva University in New York, in a lecture entitled "Proto-Canaanite Spells in the Pyramid Texts: a First Look at the History of Hebrew in the Third Millennium B.C.E." The lecture was sponsored by the Academy of the Hebrew Language in cooperation with the Hebrew University and the World Union of Jewish Studies.

Prof. Steiner, a past fellow of the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University and a member of the Academy of the Hebrew Language, has deciphered a number of Semitic texts in various Egyptian scripts over the past 25 years.

In his Hebrew University lecture, he provided the interpretation for Semitic passages in Egyptian texts that were discovered more than a century ago, inscribed on the subterranean walls of the pyramid of King Unas at Saqqara in Egypt. The pyramid dates from the 24th century B.C.E., but Egyptologists agree that the texts are older. The dates proposed for them range from the 25th to the 30th centuries B.C.E. No continuous Semitic texts from this period have ever been deciphered before.

The passages, serpent spells written in hieroglyphic characters, had puzzled scholars who tried to read them as if they were ordinary Egyptian texts. In August, 2002, Prof. Steiner received an email message from Robert Ritner, professor of Egyptology at the University of Chicago, asking whether any of them could be Semitic.

"I immediately recognized the Semitic words for 'mother snake,'" said Steiner. "Later it became clear that the surrounding spells, composed in Egyptian rather than Semitic, also speak of the mother snake, and that the Egyptian and Semitic texts elucidate each other."

Although written in Egyptian characters, the texts turned out to be composed in the Semitic language spoken by the Canaanites in the third millennium B.C.E., a very archaic form of the languages later known as Phoenician and Hebrew. The Canaanite priests of the ancient city of Byblos, in present-day Lebanon, provided these texts to the kings of Egypt.

The port city of Byblos was of vital importance for the ancient Egyptians. It was from there that they imported timber for construction and resin for mummification. The new discovery shows that they also imported magical spells to protect royal mummies against poisonous snakes that were thought to understand Canaanite. Although the

Egyptians viewed their culture as far superior to that of their neighbors, their morbid fear of snakes made them open to the borrowing of Semitic magic.

"This finding should be of great interest to cultural historians," said Prof. Steiner. "Linguists, too, will be interested in these texts. They show that Proto-Canaanite, the common ancestor of Phoenician, Moabite, Ammonite and Hebrew, existed already in the third millennium B.C.E as a language distinct from Aramaic, Ugaritic and the other Semitic languages. And they provide the first direct evidence for the pronunciation of Egyptian in this early period." The texts will also be important to biblical scholars, since they shed light on several rare words in the Bible, he said.

"This is a sensational discovery," said Moshe Bar-Asher, Bialik Professor of Hebrew Language at the Hebrew University and president of the Academy of the Hebrew Language. "It is the earliest attestation of a Semitic language, in general, and Proto-Canaanite, in particular."

You really thought you could sneak in the first paragarph into the overall story didn't you. All this attests to is that the Hebrew had trade relations with the Egyptians nowhere does this prove that the Egyptians were Hebrew or that the Yoruba were Hebrews this post alone has destroyed your whole argument

Olu317:
Lol. You try . I can imagine your mindset with such saying that "presence of ideograms doesnt automatically indicate presense. "

Indeed,you are far better scholar than Professor Richard stein .

Infact you are more better than Professors who authored , Ancient Kingdoms of West Africa: Africa-Centred and Canaanite-Israelite Perspectives. By Dierk Lange. Verlag J.H. Röll, Dettelbach, 2004, 586 pp., ISBN 3-89754-115-7.


Cheers

Writing a book and putting the word professor before your name doesn't make you right or even smart and my point was that the presence of ideograms doesn't indicate the presence of Hebrews in the land

Shma:


Kibera is not anywhere close to CBD. Maybe a few kilometres from upperhill which is separated by a stretch of road and a forest. It's not integrated with our CBD.

Neither is Alex integrated with Sandton if you actually lived here you'd know what I mean

Cyphar:
If you were born into the family of people that worship ifa, you wouldn't be saying this.



Some people need to respect other people's religion

It seems there's a misconception i'd like to practice Ifa but i'd like to see the general viewsof others on the practice

orisa37:
IFA IS SIGNS AND SYMBOLS STUDIED AND INTERPRETED BY PROFESSIONALS.

THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN FROM HEBREWS AND GREEK SIGNS AND SYMBOLS AND DREAMS OF ODU-DU-IWA.

SO MY FRIEND. IFA MAKES MORE SENSE THAN WORDS.

The Bible has no relation to Ifa but what you said makes sense

Shma:


Your best which is jorburg is incomparable to our best. Don't peddle nonsense. And your worst can't stand our worst. Capetown has one of the biggest slum in the world in fact among top 3. But today, we're talking about jorburg.


Jorburg CBD. A slum integrated city. Jorburg is overrated.

Kibera is close to your CBD and significantly larger

Amotolongbo:
It doesn’t need making sense to the other worshippers. If it makes sense to those worshipping it, leave them alone.

You could have asked Ifa worshippers if Christianity and Islam make sense to them

I was asking because i've seen a lot of negative views when it comes to Ifa and i'd like to see the exact views of those bashing Ifa and what they believe is the basis of the practice not in a rude manner but rather in a let me see your perspective manner

I'd like to see the perspective of Christians and Muslims and even Atheists on the practice of Ifa and the religion whether it is positive or negative and if the continuation of the practice of Ifa in the 21st century makes sense to you from your religious perspective

OGHENAOGIE:
those ADC guys ll still decamped to either PDP or APC as for moghalu he is overated... Simple... Stop dwelling on illusion moghalu has no realistic solutions his ideas are utopian

How do you know that they'll decamp? They've still constitently won positions into the national assembly and they've consitently gotten 50k to 100k votes in all elections apart from 2015 with Buhari

Yes Moghalu is overated but the fact of the matter is right now in this current political space he's a much better option then APC and PDP and the most popular option for a third force party

Olu317:
Lmaoo. Post your own information to support rather just posting self opinion

I have posted professors infact renowned professor who are specialist in hieroglyphs interpretation and you are still emotional attach to sentiment .

Anyway, enjoy your self .

Bye

You haven't posted a single source or link from any so called renowned professor talk less of an egyptologist and what does that have to do with Yoruba and Hebrews? You claimed Yoruba calendar was Semitic and I showed it wasn't you still haven't followed up with a counter point and you still haven't explained why there are so many stories in the Bible from the Egyptian, Canaanites, Babylonians and even Assyrian religions which just shows there isn't really a one true God but rather a false God made up of thousands of different stories from different religions used to put the Hebrew people in a better position within society

OGHENAOGIE:
ok keep dwelling in ur illusion with an overated moghalu... U haven't asked who ll contest for Senate reps other positions in his party... Shior

There's more then enough people to contest in those positions so far ADC has 3 members in the national assembly with little to no major grassroot movement and now with increased popularity with Moghalu joining the likelihood of the party having funds for such projects has increased massively.

And I don't necessarily want Moghalu to become president there are others that I would prefer but currently out of everybody he is the most popular and most sensible third force alternative to anybody
