Igbos crossed the Confluence into Kogi, a Yorubaland. Igbos crossed the Delta into the present day Delta State, Edo and Bayelsa States, all Yorubaland and territory. It is like the Igbos are now jealous of the Monkey chit in the Affairs of Bello Bello Bello vs The Afonja in Ilorin, a Yorubaland. The Igbos now wish they had occupied Ilorin before Bello. Actually, Bello crossed River Niger to invade Ilorin, a Yorubaland. Yoruba land is from the Source of River Niger in the present Kebbi State down to Niger-Benue Confluence and further down to the Creek West. The Igbos should limit themselves to the Source of River Benue to the Confluence and to the Creek East. 1 Like |

Markfemi2: You don't know that wealth is generational? If your Yoruba grandfather got rich by using some of the surplus money Igbos were forced to leave in the bank by Awolowo, he not only buys controlling shares of multinational companies like Standard bank, BEWAC, Guinness, etc., but he also built houses all over. Now 50 years later, you're quietly collecting rent on those houses, and getting dividends every quarter, me, whose grandfather was actually better of than your grandfather before the war, but was only given only 20 pounds by Awolowo can't find employement or even buy any thing of values, because I'm still living in one of your grandfather's house as tenant. Failure for the average Yoruba to even recognize this basic economic principle is another reason why Igbos will never trust you guys. 1 Like |

Rossikki:Our lack of progress in this country can be pinned to "researchers" like you. Lol... You couldn't see any connection between Igbos and Efiks. Lol I wish my mum would read this and laugh at this "Researcher". Have you heard about the "Efik/ibibio influenced Igbos"? Go to areas like Aro, Bende and Ohafia parts of Abia state and declare this statement. Read about their history and culture and if you find nothing still, then I will know how to handle you. You can check my history, I don't suffer fools hardly. I know your intentions are mischievous but I will give you a chance, "Mr. Researcher from Afhonganistan". 1 Like |

This is a classical display of a dangerous blend of arrogance and ignorance. 1) All over the world ,related languages have similarities and variation in their pronunciations and does not mean, one language is an adulteration of the other e.g hospital (English)= hopital (French), Wilhelm (German)= William (English), Louis (French)= Louis (English), Night (English)= Nacht (German). 2) If two or more languages are related, it doesn't necessarily, mean the language with the less speakers (population) descended from the language with the more speakers (population), the reverse may even be the case e.g its possible Igbo language descended from Ekpeye, Ogba or Ikwerre Languages or all the sister Igboid languages descended from a common ancestral language which is now extinct.

You have listened to sheer propaganda for so long that it has started affecting your level of reasoning. 1) The €20 was for the Biafrans to start afresh, a very rare privilege and not a right as you wrongly assume 2) The indigenization policy, much like the present local content policy is NOT a case of 'buying and selling' of foreign firms. It was a policy aimed at forcing the foreign firms to open up the ownership structures of the companies to Nigerians, especially by listing them on the stock exchange. 3) Those who were disadvantaged in the purchase of shares of the newly listed foreign firms in 1975 can still purchase the shares in 1985 or 2017 just in the same way Nigerians who couldn't build houses in 1980 when a bag of cement was being sold for #2 are building houses now ,even when the same bag of cement now is being sold for #1500. 4) Stop listening to propaganda naijaking1: 1 Like 1 Share |

Rossikki:1. There is no such thing as "south south". Just another Nigerian idiocy. 2. The people of the Niger Delta are more connected historically and culturally with the Igbo than anyone else. For e.g. The Aro migrated from what is Cross Rivers State today. The Ibibio, Anang, Efik, etc have close historic and cultural links with the Abiriba, Bende, etc. In fact, many of those folks are closer to the Ibibio, etc in dialect than they are to say someone from Enugu. Igbo migration and inter-marriage with the Kalabari, Ogoni and Ijaw has been going on for centuries. Someone like Goodluck Jonathan's grandfather came from Arochukwu and settled in Otuoke. Do you know that Jaja of Opobo was Jubo Jubeoha from Amaigbo? 3. For many years the Ijaws were classified by the British as Igbos. The Ijaw identity is a recent phenomenon. It's hard to tell who is an Igbo or who isn't in Rivers State - many speak Igbo, many have Igbo names, many have Igbo customs, many choose not to identify with Igbo for political reasons. 4. Anyone that thinks people within a few miles radius of each other are not culturally and historically linked is ignorant of Nigerian history and history in general. |

Who made you the Judge to determine what is correct and what's not correct and against which standard? Land (English) = Lande (German) Oritsefemi (Itsekiri)= Orisafemi (Yoruba) Orisha/Osaa (Yoruba)= Olise (Ika)= Orisa/Ossa (Edo) = DEITY/ God That's why Osakwe = Orisakwe Olisadebe = Osadebey and Oliseh ( Ika)= Olisa( Igbo)...none is superior to the other, just normal variant. Omawumi( Itsekiri)= Omowumi (Yoruba) Oritsejafor (Itsekiri)= Orisajenfo (Yoruba) Eyituoyo (Itsekiri)= Eyitayo (Yoruba) Ewu (Igbo)= Ewure (Yoruba) Akpati(Igbo)= Apoti (Yoruba) Okwuta (Igbo)= okuta (Yoruba) Onu (Igbo)= Enu (Yoruba) Umu (Igbo)= Rumu (Ikwerre) = Omo (Bini)= Omo(Yoruba)= Oma (Igala). 1) Sir, which of these languages is an adulterated form of the other? 2) Some igalas can understand some Yoruba dialects by 50% and Itsekiri is partly mutually intelligible with some Yoruba dialects ,yet you won't hear Yoruba accusing the Itsekiris of Language theft as some igbos like to accuse Ikwerres. #Lesson-1: Almost all the tribes in Southern Nigeria and middle belt are related than many (especially tribalists) know or willing to acknowledge. #Lesson-2: These relationship may mean we are 'siblings', not necessarily 'Parents-and- children' Your assertion that Igbo language has always remain what has always been show you don't understand linguistics at all because no language remain static and all languages emerge from previously existing languages. The Yoruba Bible was written in Yoruba language that was spoken about 200 years ago but today, many Yoruba can't even read it. You will require special dictionary to read original Shakespeare ,written in medieval English ,spoken about 500 years ago and they are many words we speak now that are absent in that variant of the language. In summary, all languages evolve and continue to evolve derealj: |
