Some identities are lived loudly.
Others are lived carefully.
This space is for conversations about identity, culture, relationships, and the quiet negotiations many people make just to exist.✌
How u convinced yourself am a Yoruba baffles me.
@SoftTruth11 Look at the people accusing others or ethnic superiority ����😂
You really deserve that word you said.
@SoftTruth11 Have some shame
Of course you must claim and lie to suit your narrative.
James Africanus Horton is from Sierra Leone.
Rev. John Christopher Taylor is the only Igbo man
George Shepperson is Scottish
Rev. Samuel Crowther, is Yoruba
But you have claimed all of them as Igbo.
"The book he is parading was not written by African, but a white man"?
That's the imbecile am having discussion with?
Who's white man, Rev John Christopher Taylor? Or James Africanus Horton?
Both are of Igbos, don't expect someone that's confused about his being to know such.ozou
@sowore @officialABAT @OfficialAPCNg South African artists for South Africans.
Nigerian artists for Nigerians and the world.
Tyla's Lagos concert must not hold.
One of us recently said, his kids won't learn asụsụ Igbo because it does not hold any value.
Is that statement "inferior" or "superior" ?
We should work on the inferiority complex that is wounding us first before claiming superiority outside.
@SoftTruth11 You think we don't know it's Jealousy, the homage inferiority pays to superiority, that's driving your negative sentiments here?
@BChocolait Igbo in pre colonial and colonial Nigeria, were known for yam cultivation. And we have the term "Oba-ji" which is used to measure a man's wealth in those days.
But not the Igbos of today, we now import yam to the East.
The 1st screenshot of your quote on Igala's post is what made me to respond to your falsehood. What myself is disputing in your claims is the word "borrowed."
My questions are simple;
1. Can you prove to us how other tribes in Nigeria "borrowed" New Yam festival from Igbos?
Foolish imbecile, google search ke?
Am waiting for you imbecile to post any account of other ethnic nations celebrating New yam festival before 1914.
Written in 1900s, you must have heard name njoku?yes it is yam deity 'Ifejioku'which our Ancestors thanks after harvesting.
It is obvious "superiority" is the issue with you.
And stop involving "Igbo Ancestors" in your stupidity. They were more self-aware than u and your kind rubbishing their values.
@SoftTruth11 This Fake man cosplaying as Igbo, nweke na-ami amu na-ṅu mmiri amu, is still here trying to rubbish d achievements of our great Igbo ancestors.
From d beginning of time, till now, to d end of times, ndi-Igbo will remain superior, levels ahead of your wretched people
🤦🏽♂️
Omo! You're brain dead. You couldn't even address any of the points I raised.
Monkey, your ancestors got new yam festival from Ndigbo and if you think that your ancestors were doing before 1914 then bring it.
We celebrate New yam festival because of yam deity 'Ifejioku'which is rendered Njoku today, to thank God for the harvest.
The guy no really get sense. The book he is parading was not written by African, but a white man. Then he forgot that African history is mostly oral.
@ifeora90 So with all the books when dey this world na only one u just d beat around the bush with abi... people wen no get history dey talk okpata.
Ogun kpai u for there
U can start by telling us how many u gave.
@SoftTruth11 Igbo people gave y'all yam so sybau
Like I said, read to understand then base your response on the points I raised. If u deem yourself intelligent.
If you're done writing your epistle finish,am waiting for you that knows others celebrating new yam festival before 1914, to come up with accounts of that,and for Igbo festivals point out one which wasn't documented before now,I will provide the account of it before Nigeria
These are my points.
If you can actually read to understand before you respond. It will be preferable.
We shouldn't engage in discussions or claims that undermines other people's culture just because you want to feel seen.
6. I have never claimed or denied the New Yam festival in Igbo land. But where I have issue with you is on the terms that other tribes who celebrate Yam festivals in Nigeria "borrowed" it from Ndi Igbo.
I'm not disputing Igbo cultures and history.
But you as an Igbo person, you don't just claim other tribes "borrowed" New Yam festival from you. How did you know they "borrowed" it? Are you the only one who eats and cultivate yam in pre colonial Nigeria?
@tiger48941 @SoftTruth11 @ifeora90 It's funny how many of these people think we don't have history yet our ancestors were singled out amongst the black race by many foreign authors as one of the most sophisticated black ethnic groups.
The problem is they can't just accept reality, We are better than them.
Nnah eeh
This conversation with you is not worth it.
Always deviating from the topic of discussion because you can't prove your claims.
Wail in your ignorance in peace ✌
Clown read my post,then provide account of any of ethnic nations practicing the festival ịwa ji before the 1914,so I have the ultimate right to tell you imbecile, the festival is of the Igbos,if you have contra opinion bring it up.
