They claim that hardship is what pushes them into crime in Nigeria. But when they go to those countries that are believed to be full of opportunities, they take crimes to higher levels.

The reason why this war doesn't bother me is because if the Islamists had the upper hand, they would do exactly the same thing especially since their books tell them to hunt Jews, so in a nutshell they are practically the same coin!
One side Zionist the other side Islamists!

This is beyond madness. The persistent attempts by certain individuals to insert the Igbo identity into Yoruba history are not just misleading—they are disgraceful and, frankly, sinister. A warning bell was rung decades ago. In a letter published in the Times Literary Supplement on 24 October 1975, D.A.N. Jones foresaw the confusion that could arise from shifting the spelling of “Ibo” to “Igbo”(see attached). He specifically used the example of Ijebu-Igbo to illustrate how such a change could distort geographical and historical understanding. What Jones could not have anticipated was the emergence of mischievous revisionists like @ChurchillNwagwu, whose objective seems less about historical clarity and more about historical colonization.

Here are the facts. Up until the mid-1970s, "Ibo" was the most commonly used spelling in literature and documentation. While variants such as "Igbo," "Heboe," and "Eboe" appear in texts, "Ibo" dominated most records. Regardless of spelling, the term was coined outside the present-day Igbo region. It was a label applied externally, mainly by slavers and slave traders. The earliest written reference to the name dates back to 1627, when Spanish priest Alonso de Sandoval used it in a list describing “a group of forty to fifty independent villages who recognized no king, fought regularly, often sold their women and children as slaves, and were all cannibals.” In several Niger Delta dialects, “Igbo” meant “slave,” and even among communities west of the River Niger, the term carried a similar derogatory connotation.

Because of its pejorative foreign origin, the term was rarely adopted as an ethnic self-identifier until much later. It was often used to describe “others,” “strangers,” or “slaves.” In Onitsha, for example, the term was commonly applied to people from the interior with a connotation of 'backwardness'. Even Nnamdi Azikiwe, in his 1930 article Fragments of Onitsha History, used “Igbo” to refer to neighboring tribes. It was only in the 20th century, with the rise of pan-ethnic consciousness, that the term was retroactively enriched with ethnic content to describe a unified Igbo identity.

In contrast, Yoruba history is well documented and internally consistent. As a group, the Yoruba had limited with the Igbo until the 1930s. Yet, in recent times, we are seeing audacious attempts by some Igbo writers to claim ancestral links to Ife, the spiritual home of the Yoruba. Entire books, authored even by PhD holders, have been written to justify this fantasy, often citing a single recent royal gaffe as their “evidence.” But the historical record contradicts them. The Ugbo people, whose name is often misappropriated in these narratives, still exist and are indisputably Yoruba. Their oral traditions and the Ife creation myth corroborate each other, firmly rooting them in Yoruba cosmology.

Moreover, Yoruba towns like Ijebu-Igbo, Igbo-Ora, and others being claimed by these revisionists predate any known use of “Igbo” as an ethnic identifier in southeastern Nigeria. These are towns with rich, established histories, well before any collective identity known as “Igbo” emerged in its current form.

This rewriting of history is not only intellectually dishonest - it is an act of cultural theft. To impose a fabricated narrative on Yoruba heritage in the name of “shared ancestry” or “common identity” is to erase the real histories of real peoples. And we will continue to resist all such attempt.

Exactly!

"We have good evidence to believe that Igbo race has its roots here in Ile-Ife. There is Ile-Igbo here in the palace which was not a recent creation but has been existing here for decades. For this and many other reasons, I believe we need proper documentation of our history,” the Ooni said.

It surprises me that the Ooni hasn't educated himself enough to know that Igbo is a very recent connotation! It has always been Ibo, older ibos would call their associations Ndibo not Ndigbo!

Since the inception of gov Oyebanji's tenure, the quality of news emanating from that State has been amazing, back-to-back.

I am not there; but I want to believe what I have been hearing is in consonance with the reality on ground.

I am an Igbo from the South-South. May God bless Oyebanji and Ekiti State!

What exactly is commendable about turning the people to almajiri?

What do you mean by "9 armed law enforcement agencies pls?"

Nigeria has multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and others.

The problem with war is that some people ALWAYS get richer, arms suppliers, contractors in charge of meals, logistics etc, top echelons, chief security officers, terrorists, negotiators, commanders....the list goes on,

So don't for a second think everyone wants an end to insecurity!

Your reasoning is still flawed! Well, an average agbero like yourself may not understand that two wrongs don't make a right but try to GET THAT INTO YOUR SKULL.
Also, the right to life is very core and under no circumstance should a customary idea or tradition erode or clamp on that. John Locke identifies three basic rights which are central to all humans and the first two are: right to life and right to liberty. See women's lives should not be in jeopardy because of one stupid and barbaric oro culture.

Then they ALL need to go as they have shown to be useless, but trying to pick on the traditional one like the Europeans and Arab did would be resisted

Your argument is flawed. Do Christians and Muslims engage in human sacrifice (at least not in a brazen manner) What we are saying is that human sacrifice is bad, barbaric and gruesomely wicked. In this modern world, we shouldn't be talking about Oro again and just as killing of twins is a thing of the past, the same thing should apply to Oro.

You guys are not normal again!
You currently live in a country where Islamic groups have been killing people for over a decade but una no go see that one because you are slaves!
