HOW IGBOS WERE SUBJUGATED AND CONVERTED BY THE WHITE MISSIONARIES FOR THEIR HOME GOVERNMENT'S ECONOMIC WELLBEING : A MUST READ!

Thread
Having striven unsuccessfully for 33 years between 1857 & 1890—contrary to their earlier boasting—to convert the Igbo in mass to christianity, the missionaries (CMS, RCM, Methodist, Presbyterian) grew frustrated and became desperate to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, good or bad, to...
advance their ambition and scheme. To catalyse this desperation to convert the Igbo in mass was the bitter rivalry between the CMS and RCM at Ọnịcha and also in their head offices at London and Rome.

According to Bloomberg, Kuwait is making moves to invest its way out of dependency on oil money. It is called the Future Generations Fund, a national savings pot designed to help the country prepare for life after oil.

Fuss over “Igboland" in Kano:

My subject today is about a news item carried by a provincial publication, Emergency Digest.
It had an interesting interview with one “scholar”, Dr. Abdullah Gadon Kaya, who expressed deep concern over what he termed the exclusive occupation...
of a “highbrow” residential area at Zungeru Road behind Kano Airport by “Igbos”.
The paper quoted Kaya as saying: “They have their massive gates, security and other facilities that prevent other people, especially the indigenes, from accessing.
Government should not allow such to be happening when we can’t go to Onitsha, Aba or Enugu and create an exclusive place for Northerners or Muslims like that…We should not have such exclusive places; the government should ensure that there are mosques, and Kano indigenes should
