Kanu said worst things over many years (and he still does) about Hausas, Fulanis and Yorubas and Igbos REFUSED to condemn him. Please save us your hypocritical tears.

I think both igbos and hausas are fond of using deragatory names to refer to each other. I have experience both side trying to demean another tribe. This is exactly how hausas have offensively impose the word "Gwari" on the Gbagyis in Nigeria. The word Gwari is an insult invented by hausa people to debase a Gbagyi person. Unfortunately, other tribes too a have adopted this annoying word to refer to the most tolerant tribe in Nigeria(Gbagyi). Our over tolerant has been taken for weakness. So i think every tribe have its own dose of the medecine....

Re: Muslim Cleric Accused Of Referring Peter Obi As 'Yamiri' During Jumat Service by ItsMeAboki(m): 1:13am On Feb 17, 2019
I have watched and listened to the video and can categorically say his sermon cannot be classed as hate speech.

First of all; the OP was lying to have said the cleric referred to Peter Obi as nyamiri because he never mentioned anyone by name (listen to tape very carefully; even if you can't understand the language, you can at least pick out if any name was mentioned).

Yes, he used the word nyamiri to subtley indicate his preferred candidate but never in a manner that can be considered inciting or derogatory.

In fact we can even argue whether the usage of the word nyamiri by northerners was ever intended to be derogatory; again the OP was lying where he suggested that word was coined during the civilian war; quite on the contrary, it predated even the independence as a result of the common Hausa man's trait for mispronouncing words and phrases outside his language.

The allegation of hate speech here is definitely unfounded; politicking or campaigning for a candidate, yes; but by no means inciting or anything like that.

On the other hand you can easily find several more far worse examples of incitement and hate speeches in the churches by Christian men of God; ranging from outright coercion of members to register or not be admitted into church to clear incitement to murder e.g. Pastor Suleiman - kill him kill him and cut off his head, Bishop Oyedepo etc.
Among those that stood out was one by an Igbo priest who was preaching hatred and tribalism by stating to his flock that one Igbo man is better than 500 Hausa men - can you imagine!.

I am surprised that someone would take up this cleric and it would even make front page here in Nairaland; considering the licence and protection given to Igbo youths, under the pretext of freedom of speech to incessantly insult northerners, particularly the Hausa/Fulani and most especially PMB, with all kinds of derogatory words and terms.
The use the word Aboki which was initially banned in the forum is now freely being used while the spambot appears to have been disengaged and no longer censoring out the word like before.
Even more provocative and inciting is the given to these ppl to insult the Prophet of Islam, the religion and Muslims with complete impunity - leaving a few of us no alternative than to defend of retaliate as the case may be.

[s]1. Hausas don't call Yorubas balerebe. Balerebe in hausa means an Arabian. Larabawa in plural meaning Arabians.
2. The hausas call Yorubas bayarbe which translates to "A yoruba person" or in plural, yarbawa.
3. Hausas also call themselves bahaushe or the fulanis bafulatani translated as no 2 above.
So stop lying in a broad daylight. [/s]

By the way Hausa people naturally refer to Igbos as nyamri as that's the translation of Igbo in Hausa. So I don't really know what's the problem here

Yes nyamiri is sending Buhari straight to Daura. Nyamiri is Nyem mmiri meaning give me water, but Belarebe means Chameleon, if you know you know.


The correct word is Balarabe meaning an Arab or in Hausa terms, a male born on Wednesday, Balarabe for female. its Balaraba.

If you don't know, you don't know.

Hausa has bn calling Igbo Yamiri for more than century without any issue, just like Yoruba calling Nupe people as Tapa. I don't know why some people like heating up unnecessary issues

it's yoruba mods u can see how they narrated the issue. and even refused to ban people on the insults, I think IGBOS need to wake up on the real truth about yorubas.

Even when I was doing my IT in Abuja years ago, my boss (an Hausa man) a very nice and jovial man.. used to call me Nyamiri I don't even find it offensive since I know what it means and we laughed over it.. He even told me the story behind it and also told me what they call yorubas and what IGBOS call them..

The issue on this thread is caused by Yoruba mods, IGBOS need to wake up

Who cares. Boko Haram will finish the north anyway. 80% of their population are begging for food, water, and shelter.

Anytime I see this rather stupid statement, I laugh. How many trucks do you see crossing River Niger and Benue coming southwards laden with foodstuff including spent horses and donkeys and even dogs ? People should be careful what they wish for.

When people claim that Nigeria cannot feed itself, I want to see how many people will survive when those exporters in a divided Nigeria regard their produce as foreign exchange and price them accordingly.. Go to the internet and check. What is the price of a bushel of maize, soya beans , beef etc on the New York Produce Exchange?

You call people parasites when in reality , the reverse is the case. A parasite lives in the body of its host and not the other way round. And the north feeds and hosts more southerners than you have northerners in the south.

Please let stop this insolence and forge ahead. We are too entwined by our circumstances by way of inter dependence. Let us use our population to exploit our comparative advantages for the good of all.

Your pedestrian narrative is not helpful. Maybe you should bother about your make up, tailor and so on and leave men to handle serious issues. Your defective statistics convinces me that you need this advice.

PEACE

See ipob ignorance, you will die of hunger without North sending food to your unproductive villages in the SE.

Millions of your people are in the North slaving for survival and Northern wealth because your poor and unproductive SE states cannot sustain you so who is really poor? Look in the mirror.

Look ehn, even as a Christian, I make bold to say we are the most hypocritical and self entitled people on earth. What the heck are these people even complaining about? Day in day out, the Apostoe Suleimans and Oyedepos of this world make all sort of derogatory comments aimed at these guys or people they have very deep respect for, nothing happens. These same ibos come online to cheer them on. But the moment the favour is returned, you see the bigoted skunks start running all over the web like headless chickens, looking for whom to sympathize with them. angry

These people must think everyone is answerable to them. What nonsense. The idiots don't only come here to insult northerners and their religion daily, yet feel no one is meant to di the same to them. Hypocritical coons.

In fact, henceforth, na Iyanmuri be the way forward.
