That's why they moved it there. People have been leaking the proceedings online and are begining to see that the buhari FG had bullsh1t charges which could not stick in any court. That's why nepotism is bad. If merit was employed, the FG would have been able to get him with sound lawyers & law enforcement.

We all know there was never a case, even haters do.
The only thing the government is doing is finding excuses to hold Kanu down.

But they like it or not, they will have to release him, because there is nothing to convict him with.

favor914:
don’t know why the black man was programmed in his ignorance to be subservient to the white man.

I think I saw this your moniker spewing tribal trash on a thread here.
Kindly move on to someone of your kind.

That is a wonderful development.
But I hope DDS will allow people in

don’t know why the black man feels the white me is better than him?

What has black man got to do with the topic please?

Are you angry over Israel attack on Iran? If so, take your anger to Tehran and help them out.

Which of the Hell have you not opened against Israel?
Is it Hezbollah? Hamas? Houthis?
Axis of hell.

The gates of hell has already been opened, and it will be closed with the Ayatollas inside it.

This new commander should do well to shut da fork up, before Israel helps him with that.

That's the way to go.

Kill the snake before it gets to your door.
Kudos to the Israelis

malali:
They were murdered preemptively ?

No other country behaves like this in the world.

Even Russia's war with Ukraine doesn't act like this.

Killing Grandmothers, mothers, babies,infants, civilians, doctors, scientist........indiscriminately.

While the world watches and pretend its okay.

I am supposed at your outcry.

Iran has a moto like death to Israel, Hezbollah has one, the exterminaton of Israel. Is that not enough reason to kill whoever says you will not exist?

Let those Arabs or Persian who chose to remain backward forever keep shouting death to Israel. The Israelis will wipe them off even before they are born. That's a fact.

The people close to Ife then are known as Ugbos not Igbos. They were in constant battle with Ife until they were defeated with the help of Moremi, who allowed herself to be captured by them in battle. They still exist today in Ondo State. Olugbo of Ugbo, Oba Akinruntan, is their king.

Not at all. That is another story entirely and unrelated.
The Oni was talking about the prosperity of the Igbo people and where it started and how Obatala was of Igbo.
Go and dig it, you'll hear him yourself. I have also heard Obi of Onitsha said same. Go and search that of the Oni and come back.

Perfectbeing:


The Onni was talking about the Ugbo people not the Igbo people.

Go and read about the Ugbo people.

Not at all.
Please dig deep and you'll surely find it yourself and hear him yourself.
Take it up, it's a challenge worth the while.

Perosolami:
I'm just hearing that they lived in Ife. In Moremi's story, it was told that they invaded Ife and they thought they were spirits but it never said they lived in Ife. Actually when I Read the story I was surprised that they could cross that distance from the east to ife...

Good to hear. In my case I don't know if the female warrior that infiltrated the Igbos is Moremi but I do know there was a female infiltration.

Please note that they did not move from the South East to Ile Ife.

A smart government should not try to solve an academic question with politics.
A far better strategy would have been to have an opposing academic scholar present his own theory and research findings. This problem can't be solved from Tinubu federal ministry of education.

Exactly
And as for the kids of nairaland, they should learn to shut up, because they know nothing more than hate and bigotry.

As for Tinubu, he is not a man that is after truth, he is only interested in politics and would do anything to be right politically.

Johnthesuccess:




The ooni that said that is a mad man. He was on drug when he said that.

Kindly don't quote me again as I am only interested in academic discussions.

Never chew more than you can swallow or you'd be choked.

I hope Hamas have learnt this, so that in their next life should there be reincarnation they'd have learnt to know their place and not overestimate their capacity.

Wisdom is profitable to direct says the Holy Bible.

Teenaira:


But there is no part of Nigeria where you won't find ibos. So does the ibos own Nigeria ? Besides, if igbos come from ile-ife then they are originally, Yorubas. However, everything about the ibos does not align with that of the Yorubas. That is from Language, culture, physic, habit and behavior. I can therefore infer that the book will create lots and lots of confusion and not in any way educational.

Please I was not referencing the book as I have never seen those books, but I have come across that information from no other than the Oni of Ife, then from obi of onitsha.
So the book is not my source, as I am yet to read it. But what I know for certain is that Igbo ancestors lived and left Ife, as to if the igbos were the first to live in Ife is what the government should dig up for academic purposes.

Perosolami:
who are you talking about? Cos it's only queen Moremi that made her to be kidnapped to save her people

You have not answered my question of whether you knew before today, that Igbo ancestors lived in Ife before leaving to other places? Have you ever heard about it? Please be honest

BadEnglish:
It doesn't need to be disowned, but just ignored because those people are delusional

Identify the irony in your comment!

franchasofficia:
Late Ooni of Ife Oba Sijuade also told same story before my eyes.


Tinubu's brand of ethnocentric politics is destroying the previously good nature of Yorubas and they don't know. To them, everything today is a tribal battle or supremacy battle with the Igbos.


Any Yoruba that doesn't believe this should go back and read the history and story of Moremi and why she is highly celebrated in Ile Ife till date.


Instead of them to go back to history and ask questions from the custodians of Yoruba culture like the Ooni of Ife, they prefer to be cursing Igbos and throwing tantrums around, na them sabi my brother

It is such a shame!
In fact, in that event the Oni mentioned that the Igbo had always been rich and gifted and successful in whatever they do, right from when their ancestors were still in ile Ife.

Ignorant people of nairaland are here shamelessly jumping up and down over a history they know nothing about.

Armaggedon:
this was why they banned history. They didn't say the book was false, they said it's a threat to national unity

Nigeria has a long way to go.
Does ancestors of Igbos having been in Ife before leaving there to other places mean that the present day Igbos will want to go back to Ife for any reason?

What exactly is the hate for? It's such a shame.

If not that I heard it first from the Oni of Ife telling Igbos that their ancestors was in Ife and that the spirit of business and entrepreneurship had been with them from the olden days. I heard those words from his own mouth, telling igbos not to forget that their ancestors lived and left Ife.

Enugurangers:

The ooni was talking about the Ugbo people in present day Ondo. Vanguard published it as Igbo even though they know it's Ugbo.
Vanguard has been pushing tribal agenda these days.

Please I did not read it from the vanguard newspaper.
I heard it from the Oni of Ife, directly from his mouth, like from the horse's mouth.
Please do your personal findings and keep your mind clear so you learn one or two, nobody knows it all.

Talkisneeded:



You don't even know the moremi story,it was not the Igbos,the war was with the ilajes in ondo...

Please I am not talking about Moremi, not at all.
Before today we're you ever aware the Igbos were once at ile Ife?
If you had not been aware kindly go and dig up and find out some of the events that played out in that era, and how they subsequently left Ife.
Please I am only interested in an academic engagement and not interested in tribal whatever.

Arostar2023:


They are mainly people that are driven by hate. They hate anything Igbo, even if it will save their lives. I feel sorry for those that intermarried with them...

Honestly I am appalled by the level of ignorant people on nairaland and unfortunately they are the majority here.

Igbo people were in ile Ife, in fact, at a time they terrorised the yorubas then and took some as slaves, until a yoruba woman warrior infiltrated the Igbos and came back to reveal to her people that the Igbos were not spirits as the yorubas then had thought. I think she later got married to one of the Igbo warriors, she fought and liberated her people. This is pure historical fact, told by yoruba kings from that time.

Fact is Igbo ancestors were at Ife, yes, same Ile Ife, and I heard it first from the Oni of Ife. What I don't know is if they were the first to settle there, and that is where the government should dig up in earnest search for truth and fact.

And as for those of you jumping up and down over what you know next to nothing about, the present Igbo is not planning to come back to Ife for any reason, in fact it was the Oni himself that was asking Igbos not to forget they moved from Ife.

Let the government set up a committee of enquiry to look into history.

Igbos have been in Ife which the Oni himself spoke about severally that Igbos were once at Ife, and same as benin.

I heard Oni of Ife in a video telling Igbo people that they moved from Ife in the olden days.
Government should do a finding rather than dismiss the book entirely just to be politically right.

Going through comments on this threads showed how obviously there little number of learned people on nairaland. No brainstorming, no academic exchange, just blind and ignorant arguments from people who know next to nothing about the topic.

FYI Igbo ancestors were at Ile Ife, go and dig up. The question here is, we're they the first.

That's the people governor
See how freely he walks amongst his people.

This is how it is supposed to be

Let the Mockery of Itsekiri come and explain how it's a small money for repainting such a huge edifice.

Tinubu and his gang of thieves.

Ok

Ok

I didn't see them talk about writers?
Storytelling without writers is not possible.

Tinubu
Running Nigeria Like a Cartel
Gangster doings.

Even the military would be amazed at how democracy can be killed without a coup.

Nigeria will learn, the hard way of course!

No need to advise wike, let him gather the ground rent and use it to pay the 16million dollars Nigerian embassy is owing as rent in US.

gymnasium:


Can you even listen to yourself?? Which yeye host is that one...... we're Nigerians as such we have rights nationwide

Come back later for the money is not same as I won't pay

Why scattering the same goods that will fetch the money

I don't know why these touts now wield so much power and protection recently

You sound biased and bigotised when you see evil call it evil

Such as happened to that young woman will surely happen to him and his family wherever they may be.
This is their attitude here on nairaland, so hateful they can any evil against people of other tribe.
The most annoying aspect is that this foul mouthed coward will not fall out if trouble started because of the murder of this innocent woman.

Nigeria happened to him at a time he was supposed to sit back and enjoy his labour.
Though he is a bit older than the young innocent, hustling, Igbo woman stabbed to death for no reason in Ogun state by a jobless yoruba tout.
Make everybody sha dey calculate, because definitely one day shit go hit fan.

While men slept, the enemy came... 🤣
