Those confused people will start attacking and insulting Oni of Ife now.

Nobody is as confused as the Yoruba people, how many times Igbo people go tell you guys to leave them alone? Na by force to be one? Make una carry una marriage go marry Hausa fulanis and leave Igbo out of una oneness. Shameless unity beggars. E Pain am

Ooni is 100% wrong on this.

Igbos and Fulanis actually have same ideology, migratory/nomadic culture, hotblooded/easily angered, fair skin complexion, shape of head, Tit for tat view of life, superiority complex, etc. and most definitely share same ancestral links.

The only difference is one embraced Islam and cattle rearing while the other Catholism and trading.

Yorubas have nothing in common with Igbos. We only share ancestral links with the Binis.

They want to carry their madness to Binis this time around, say the yorubas no fit stay alone without gumming themselves to other people? Lazy tribe

Igbos are descendants of Jews.

Even though Netanyahu tries to deny, it can not be wiped off history.

Yoruba’s gave Igbo the South-East which they presently claim as home now.

A day will come when they will go reclaim their land in Israel, and so shall a day come when their tenancy will expire and Yoruba’s will reclaim the South-East.
Please can you give us facts about why Igbos are Jewish?
Is there any cultural similarity at all?Is Chukwu same as YAWEH?

What I know is that we have Ugbos (in Ondo state today) who fought the Ifes. Moremi, an Offa princess married to the Ife king saved the Ifes from the Ugbos. That's how Ife became peaceful and they made progress.

The Olugbo of Ugbo kingdom has stated the history from their own perspective. It's not so different except that they claim to be the original settlers in the area.

Ugbos are different from Igbos. Ugbo is bush in some Yoruba dialects.

Why did you bring Ugbo into this discussion.

The Ooni knows what he was saying. He was referring to Ndigbo. Not Ugbo.

The Obi of Onitsha has confirmed the historical connection between Yorubas and Igbo before. Forget Nnamdi Kanu's children online.

The Ugbos are part of Ilajes and their king is Obateru (owner of Obat oil. The richest king in Africa).

There was no ambiguity in Moremi story. She was a traitor to the Ugbos and a heroin to the Ifes.

The first migrants of Igbo’s into znigeria have been known to be Jewish. There are artifacts and locations in the South East that buttresses that.

It was the son of Oduduwa ruling Benin that gave the Igbo migrants the land called South-East todays

Igbo’s are one of the lost tribes of Israel with a unique language, and they are not Nigerians.

They migrated into West Africa through the coastlines of Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon.

They were working for the Ikwerre’s in the Southern part of Nigeria and adopted their language.

PresidObi:
Supposing he does his interview without mentioning another tribe, will it kill him?

Very unintelligent lie there.

The renowned unintelligent liar is gbajuẹ Peter Obi, who naively helped ThiefNuibu’s Ebilokan dream.

There is linguistic research on the subject of Igbo and Yoruba common language in BASIC words. Go and verify instead of just being an ObiDense.

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

He is wrong by saying that Kola nut doesn't grow in Igbo land.

Is it the same kola nut I used to pick when it falls down from the tree in our back yard? If my Dad wasn't around they have to wait for any of the boys to come back to pick it because it is forbidden for women to pick it.

Yorubas big pass Binis in every way. They need us and not the other way round. Talking about ancestral links has nothing to do with gumbody incase you lack comprehension skills.

It is those who are forcing themselves on Ikwerres that can't stand alone. And we know the reason is due to oil and access to Ocean as their region is a dead and tiny landlocked area

That's the narrative they give themselves to make them feel good within themselves. I've seen numerous times they say igboland is barren land and I just laugh. Imo state has the largest natural gas reserves in Africa, and 4th largest gas reserves in the entire world but these imbeciles say it's barren. Same igboland has crude oil.

Anyways let them keep saying igbo land is barren, and keep using up the crude in the Niger Delta. When we eventually get regional government we can use our natural gas to develop our region
