Just read what you typed, you didn't read but you jumped to conclusion.
I enlightened you because it is good to share wisdom and knowledge to those who lack it.

Na yourself you defeat not me.
Go back to that thread(s) and you will see you agreed with my point(s).

You even tried to shift goal post in one of those threads by saying you don't know much about the state's politics but your friend told you about it.

U know full well I always win with clear reasoning then u folks resort to insults.
Here is my last post. Let me see u argue it.

As u said, all elections have errors and shenanigans. But that’s why the bar for removing an incumbent is high. After all the games and maneuverings the umpire declares a result. It is VERY IMPORTANT not to change that result unless the documentary proof is unassailable and the reasons crystal clear. INEC declared Ihedioha the winner and Hope 4th place. That’s the baseline. They were not equal - one was the incumbent, the other came FOURTH! You don’t lightly change that.
YOU DON’T DO IT BY REFUSING TO EXAMINE DOCUMENTS OR BY ACCEPTING CLEARLY FRAUDULENT NUMBERS!

Africans have really gone through a lot at the hands of white people.

From slavery to colonization and the terrible legacy behind it.

Just White people.

You didn't add Islamic Arabs in the mix too.

Now, go see what Arabs did and you would be shocked at how they were more vicious than the whites. They sacked whole communities till date.

[s]You lots know where you fight your battles and that’s usually in the politics and crime thread. IPOB vs Afonja! Nnamdi Kanu vs Tinubu/Buhari, APC vs PDP isn’t it?

Cultural threads are usually immune to such battles because the IPOB members see nothing reasonable to argue there. This is why you can count Yoruba culture threads such as this with no form of interference. And if those guys can stealth their swords there, then you guys should restrict your tribal battles too.

So you lots should do the same and not jump into every section to pollute the place. Many people come here to learn one or two things. When you have anything to disprove, then you do so with proofs.[/s]

Stop telling lies...

This is one...

Well, like I said, I am not at all into politics at all, but here is what someone into Imo politics wrote (and u can just tell he is saying the truth):

Imo people did not vote for Hope! Hope didn't even campaign in Imo because of the APC crises between him and Rochas who was fronting his in-law, Uche Nwosu.

On the day of the election, Hope and some APC loyalists were lodged in a Hotel in Owerri writing results after INEC announced results. They brought the results and were compelling returning officer to announce but he refused that it was fake that even party reps have raised the alarm.

I will post the other.

Well, PDP just recently won a rerun in the same area Hope got 99.9% of votes with over 100% voter turnouts!!

But that’s not even the point. The issue is the SUPREME COURT and the precedent set.

Consider the precedent set here (which lawyers will cite forever):
How hard is it to obtain INEC documents, write any result u wish, keep the carbon copies, and destroy the rest??

A person who receives no single vote can easily be declared winner and immediately replace the incumbent. All they’d have to do is present result sheets which the Supreme Court MUST accept no matter how outrageous and defective they may be, as long as no one can produce the originals!

Using that precedent, a ruling party can easily “win” any election, effectively removing any say u may have in choosing who rules you.
And that is what u r busy defending!

Now tell me the sense in this reply if yours.

When you know that it's illegal for an election result to be canceled by the person that canceled the result after all the agents of the parties have signed on the result.

Again, it's a rare occasion for you to get 100% turnout in am election.

I won't honor your level of reasoning with a response again.

So, I plead with you to ignore bitterness even if Ibos are in Jamaica or wherever they are. Besides, there are many other ethnic groups in Jamaica, so celebrate ibos or let their thread be.

As u can see, u r way out of your League. You have to resort to repeating a post of mine.
Also u r misinformed - only APC signed the Uzodinma documents.
See another previous post of mine below. Note the bolded.

The two cases are very different.
Disqualifications, as in Bayelsa, are common in politics. In Imo nobody was disqualified, instead it is a case of the SC aiding and abetting clear fraud and rigging!

Also in Bayelsa SC upheld lower courts. Whereas in Imo they overruled all lower courts AND INEC to replace an 8-month gov with a FOURTH place finisher. All based on clearly fraudulent documents that were not only full of ridiculous figures that exceeded number of registered voters, they were also incomplete, smudgy, full of alterations, signed only by APC, and showed results for only APC and PDP out of 70 parties!
THE CASES ARE NOT EVEN COMPARABLE!!

Chest beating is never a crime or offence,,
Keeping wailing!

Anyways, since the chest beating is coming from Igbos,,, it's an offence or crime to you guys.
But if the boasting comments
Ain't coming from Igbos,,,

It will be OK or normal thing.

There is no tribe or ethnic group that doesn't boast bout their ethnically, on this platform but you guys have always chose to wail and laments when it involves Igbos.

So how come we’ve not been hearing about this soso in daily Yoruba words and names? Unlike the Igbos where the soso is a common theme in names, words, grammars and Igbo music.
Take for instance these names and meanings
Sochima - only God knows (late Okparaji’s middle name)
Soso ya ji nma agha - Only him held the cutlass
Soso mu na gi - Only I and you
Soso nri ka ima eri - Only food is what you know how to eat.
Soso gi ka m ga efe - Only you shall I worship (Igbo gospel song)
And countless
So let’s see the Yoruba version.

If you are not familiar with Soso as a Yoruba word, it is only because you don't understand the language. Soso meaning only is a commonly used words and it has appeared in song. Haven't you heard Asa song that say, Iwo, Iwo nikan soso- You, You only

This is crazy and irresponsible! Akara is NOT an Ibo word
but of Yoruba origin. Akara is called Kosai in the Hausa
language.



Read more here:
==>https://www.gounesco.com/how-to-prepare-beans-cake-akara-or-kosai/
==>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akara


The female writer [Njideka Agbo] of this Guardian article of 18 January
2018 is peddling FALSEHOOD. She is a cut-and-paste person and a very
unprofessional journalist! I wonder why people like pilfering or falsifying
other people's histories just to make themselves feel good? I have always
insisted that some journalists are a DANGER to world history because
they just copy FAKE or vandalized Wikipedia entries without dues
diligence! Her article is even riddled with more historical errors
as well.


While not denying that "Eboes" were one of those tribes/ethnicities
taken to Jamaica from the AREA between Nigeria, Cameroon,
Gabon, etc from the former Bight of Biafra totalling
1,391,000 people based on the official information from the
Slave Trade Database from the 1700s.



Again majority of Ibos are NOT light in completion but dark brown
skinned.

I do know from my personal observations when I worked with a major
multinational oil and gas firm while also living in Port Harcourt,
Nigeria that some folks from the Umuahia axis can be light skinned,
but over 97% of Ibos are dark brown-skinned or have different shades
of brown skins from the 5 core Ibo-speaking states because I have
always paid attention to little details. The idea by some people
[who have not travelled widely or are unexposed] that most Ibos are
light is the most STUPID thing to have ever come out of Nigeria.
It is just a ridiculous stereotype since you will find Yorubas, Esan
Edos, Bini Edos, Idomas, Efiks, Ibibios, Annangs, Congolese,
Angolans, Taroks who are naturally light skinned and dark brown
as well.



The etymology or origin of the word AKARA is Yoruba.
Even in Brazil and several countries of the Diaspora,
Akara Ijesha is still eaten in Bahia, Brazil till today.
The Yorubas brought Akara to Brazil and it also spread
to other Caribbean countries where Yorubas were
deported to on slave schooners or ships in the
1700s and 1800s. It is a major fact that the Yoruba
are credited with the word Akara and they even introduced it
to Ghana because Yorubas of Nigeria, Benin, and Togo
engaged in long-distance trading and have had business
dealings with Ghana since the days of the Oyo Empire
which extended to Togo, way before Nigeria came
into existence as a political entity.

Many Yoruba descendants still live in Ghana for over 200 years
now and many are Ghanain citizens.



PLEASE read the link here: https://www.196flavors.com/nigeria-akara/

The origin of the word acarajé is interesting. Yoruba people (an ethnic group of Nigeria and Benin) shout “acará -je” when they sell akaras on the roadsides. This can be translated to: “I have akara” or “come and eat akara”, and that is what the Baianas women who sell it typically shout.

In Bahia, acarajé is deep-fried in palm oil, also known as dendé oil, then sliced and served with various sides such as vatapá (dried shrimp paste), camarão (small sundried shrimp), pimenta (hot pepper sauce), caruru (okra stew) or salada.



But back to West Africa, where this snack was originally created. It is called akara by the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria, but also kosai by the Hausa people of Nigeria or also koose in Ghana where it is a popular breakfast dish.

Source: https://www.196flavors.com/nigeria-akara/




Last but not least, majority of those brought to Jamaica
were of Akan origins [Coromantees or Fante/Asante, etc]and
of Angola/Congo origins as well... but Africans were brought
from 8 Regions of Africa including Mozambique and Madagascar.
Several Jamaicans have also taken Haplogroup and Autosomal
DNA tests from AfricanAncestry and AncestryDNA which reveal
that a lot Jamaicans are 100% Africans without white bloodlines
and they come from very diverse ethnic origins.


I hope this helps to clear up the misleading information
from that female journalist.
