This is a case of Ipob killing Ipob it's not our business

Upon interrogation, Moses a 27-year-old native of Auchi, said his friend’s ghost had been hunting him since the day he killed him.

Auchi na Ipob? I didn't know oh.

Friend, God is my only friend

MelesZenawi:


not a fan of kanu but on this one I have neverr read, heard and even eavesdrop that itsekiri was ever added to biafran. your imagination of lies won't stand test off times...


of course you all have yoruba roots and no one drags that even till tomorrow unless you want to create or assume another fictitious story in your mind.

It is obvious you are a desperate revisionist of even the most recent events. Below is the current IPOB's proposed Biafra maps with the entire Delta State including the Itsekiri areas in it. Or is it that you don't know the geographical location of the Itsekiris?
The next picture is that which is pasted in a Biafran website asserting that Itsekiris and even Binis belong to Biafra.
You can check the website yourself through this link:

https://biafran.org/the-biafrans/

For the issue of Yoruba roots, what defines roots and cultural similarities the most are trappings of linguistic affinity which Igbo and Yoruba Languages have doses of unlike others. The evidence is so compelling that Obi of Onitsha could help but agree with the Ooni of Ife.

MelesZenawi:


You guys are nearer and have so much in common that even mere eyes can easily see...culture wise, similarity In names, language, title for kings....stop arguing a known truth pls.

Unfortunately you haven't been able to adduce any concrete evidence to substantiate that your 'truth' like I did about mine.
A lie would definitely take up the appearance of truth if repeated over time without any counter argument from those who know the actual truth. That explains you present 'truth' about Edoid groups. Likewise a long undefended truth will begin to appear as a lie with time especially in an atmosphere of false propaganda.
But here today, your age-long false propaganda is being bursted with hard facts which even proves the contrary as the case, and all you can do is to keep repeating your stale and expired line of propaganda without any concrete evidence to back it up. Igbos migrated from Ile-Ife as evidenced by the over thousands of Yoruba words embedded in Igbo Language. Live with it.

Yoruba pass edo and come down to have language affinity with igbos...what a logic and u are proud writing it.


as for your map, go and discuss with whosoever that created the godforsaken website.

this is even my first time seeing this which simply tells u I hv no time looking for rubbish that can't stand the test of time...

very hard to distinguish edo and Yorubas in terms of culture and the rest especially politically.

MelesZenawi:


another weak article and submission.

mind you Oba has its meaning in igbo language and do not in anyway means same as what you are driving at.

ask for meaning before you rush to conclude based on that...oba has its meaning in igbo language.

your history will never be complete if it is not linked to yorubas...that's the fact.

Neither will yours be complete if not as well linked to the same Yorubas.
If we even assume without conceeding that Oba has a separate meaning in Igbo Language, then what about the following Yoruba words which have exactly same meaning as used in Igbo language?:

1. Ear: Nti(Igbo), Eti(Yoruba)

2. What: Gini(Igbo), Kini(Yoruba)

3. Fever: Iba(Igbo), Iba(Yoruba)

4. Goat: Ewu(Igbo), Ewure(Yoruba)

5: God: Olisa(Igbo), Orisa(Yoruba)

6: Mouth: Onu(Igbo), Enu(Yoruba)

7. Nose: Imi(Igbo), Omi(Yoruba)

8: Cock: Okuko(Igbo), Akuko(Yoruba)

9. Slave: Oru(Igbo), Eru(Yoruba)

10. Stone: Okwute(Igbo), Okuta(Yoruba)

11. Amen: Ise(Igbo), Ase(Yoruba)

12. Owl: Ikwikwi(Igbo), Iwiwi(Yoruba)

13: Turkey: Torotoro(Igbo), Tolotolo(Yoruba)

Oh! Didn't Olukumis rise from Yorubaland passed Edo to come and reside among the Aniomas whom you claim as fellow Igbos?
Didn't the Egennis and Bugumas of Rivers State pass the Ijaws to come and have linguistic affinity with Binis? You must be living in your own world of alternate reality.
The Biafra.org website is now a godforsaken website and thrash for harbouring a content that puts a lie to your revisionist tales here, right? We know you IPOBians to be gold medalists of goalpost shifting anyway.
Per the bolded, that, rather than your fabricated tales of cultural similarities, is the actual reason why you IPOBians delude yourself with the Yoruba origin of Edo as I already noted in an earlier comment. We all know that your resentment against Edo all started when Edo ditched you IPOBians beloved PDP.
If you doubt this, just visit NL threads created after Obaseki's defection to PDP and see IPOBian monikers salivating all over Edo with the cliche "Edo is not Lagos" being mouthed mostly by them. In fact those of them who used to argue that Edo is not SS have suddenly started using the present pro-PDP politcal events in Edo as an evidence that SS is not SW.
Before the Supreme Court gave the APC's mandate in Bayelsa to PDP, some IPOBians here had already started making insinuations that Bayelsa was no longer SS for voting in APC. Such is the kind of reasoning that obtains among IPOBians.

what you are listing has no correlation.
if you had said for example Nti(ear) has same spelling and means samething in yoruba and igbo then it is logical nd accepted

but bringing two different words with different spelling weakens your argument to the last.

such can't be said of edo-yoruba words that are eternally the same.

Elections are imperialist cultures and only in the mind of a wailing IPOBians can it become a criteria for ethnographic classifications and identies. I guess Bayelsans became Yorubas for voting for APC in their last guber elections? And Imo state became Oduduwa for voting for APC (Okorocha) in 2015? And even Anambra North Senatorial District became a Yoruba enclave for voting for Ngige the AC candidate against Dora Akunyili the PDP candidate in that contest?
And if we are to go by your standards, you Igbos are part of the larger Hausafulani family as you have since Independence always tilted towards the party of Hausafulanis than any other tribe.
In the build up to the 1959 elections you Igbos chose to align first with a Kano based party known as NEPU.
On getting to the floor of the parliament in 1960 you Igbos aligned with the Hausafulanis owned NPC and through that Balewa emerged prime minister.
In 1979 you again aligned with and voted for the Hausafulanis owned NPN.
In 1992 to 1993, your hearts were with the Hausafulanis owned NRC which swept the East in both guber and presidential elections in that era.
In 1999 you again went the way of PDP which was a metamorphosis of the Katsina Mafia owned PDM which leadership was domiciled in the Yaradua family. In fact in 1999 you Igbos gave bloc votes to Obasanjo because he was the North's preferred candidate and a willing stooge to the Northern Oligarchy.
So you are politcally of the Hausafulani family. No wonder the Fulani Herdsmen are all over your region today killing and maiming their Igbo brothers with impunity. Blood is indeed thicker than water.
