TribalEAST: Thousands of ibo nairalanders travelled home for xmas and cant even post pics of igbo communal life.



Pls dont post pics of handpicked houses cos if i decide to do thesame concerning ogbomosho you'll think the place is a paradise.

I dare u.

Tablet Man: Let mua clear some certain thingz.... All4naija there is mud house at igbo house, but my brothers here are trying to make u understand that mud house in Igboland are few which is true while some are saying that mud house can't be found at Anambra and Imo state which is a white and fat lie. But I must tell you that, out of 21 local government in Anambra state, u are likely to see mud houses at abt 4 local government which are the riverine areas in Anambra. But the problem is that u will come to Anambra and stay upto 20 years but u won't know that such area are in the state. Even some people from Anambra don't even know that such place exist cos if u don't have any business there, u won't pass the villages, that's why I don't blame those who claimed not to know that anambra still has mud house but the real fact here is that most of this area with mud houses in Anambra state are mainly populated by Igala people ie Nzam,Ifite Ogwari and their neighboring town. Though u can find some mud houses at atani village that belong to igbo people and also the hometown of the late highlife musician chief Osita iheme Osadebe but atani is still one of the riverine area in anambra. All4naija I will bold to tell you that there is nothing like mud house or slum house at nnewi south or north. U can't even find a trace of mud house at typical villages like agulu, nimo, enugu ukwu, abagana, abatete, infact the list is endless. Anambra villages can boast of more brick and block house than mud house.









Berem since u claim to be an igbo girl siding with the yoruba people. Pls tell this all4naija that alaigbo don't have a good number of mud house.



All4naija we don't have large number of mud house in alaigbo unlike other regions in nigeria.

Thank you for the piece of write-up detailing some villages by providing their names and giving a sketchy idea of the areas with villages having mud houses. I still doubt your attempt to create a scenario of this affluence of Igbo people and their achievement when it comes to having buildings in the villages. If only you can provide us with communal life images of those villages to support your statement, I would be very glad to agree with you. But, I know one thing there is not going to be a single image of those villages popping up here soon or I might see it happens till the end of the thread. You know what I mean! . This aura of bragging and puffiness in the typical Igbo people with any real world evidences to go with them. Hahaha...

Thank you once again.

Odenigbo Aroli:

My friend,it is high time you throw in the towel. I'm from Umuoji in Idenmili nortth of Anambra and I was home just before christmas. For all the driving I did in Umuoji,Nkpor and Obosi I didn't come accross a single mud house. Infact,I asked my dad if there still mud houses in Oji and he said "na ebee di",meaning not at all. But he also said you can find them at the shrine where sacrifices are made for the gods. Infact,I can confidently tell you that you can't find a mud house with people still living in it in Anambra.

For all those running their mouth,post the pictures of the mud houses or shut your smelly mouth!

ketoprofen: Y are some ppl explaining anything to this bitter man called all4odualand.
if he thinks Igbo villages are filled with mud houses like their own capital cities and their villages in thecwest, he is on a long thing.
He has been told severally that few mud houses are present in igboland and he is still dragging with himself.
Then, nwa agbogho a eji kwuo ugwo agadi, berem sorokwanu ya na ako nonsense.
Efuluefu

capricon: One more thing, onitsha is not what people think. Im even tempted to say that it is one of the best cities in Nigeria. Trust me, people with negative opinion only pass by the expressway.

What's the point in comparing Ibo's with average african americans? Uncalled for comparison and smacks of inferiority complex, or would an african american compare themselves with ibos?

than mud house.

TribalEAST: Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra, Imo and Abia put together arent up to OYO state in terms of land squaremiles. Those places are densely populated. What you might called a state capital in iboland might be like a neigborhood in oyo state. What you might call a village in iboland might be a combination of 3 streets in oyo state. Ogbomosho, a town in oyo state consisting of 2 local governments areas is bigger than imo and ebonyi states put together while ibadan the capital of oyo state can cover close to 3 states o its own.

*check google for the sq miles of those places. Note: sq miles and nothing else*

The posting of mansions as typical of house in ibo villages is a huge ridicule. Are you guys saying that ibos earn better salaries than other tribes to all have mansions? Are there no poor people there? You mean no face-me-i-face-you houses? You mean the pics of the houses you've been posting belong to you or your father? Stop deluding yourselves.

The number of mansions in oyo state might be more than what you have in iboland- dont fool yourselves with pics of rusty roofs in ibadan cos that is the ancient ibadan before the advent of the british.

Ibos are rich but the majority are poor just as other tribes in nigeria. Will tell me that the ibos selling okrika in lagos island and those hawking pure water all have mansions in iboland? The pics show handpicked mansions. An aerial view cant even prove us wrong cos we know what the state of the nation is- poverty strickened. So long majority of ibos are poor and live below a dollar per day, then i'll say those mansions where handpicked or what is the rate of unemployment in iboland?

Ibos arent better than south africans that still have mud and thatched roof houses and still live zulu live, so stop painting a false picture cos we have millions of ibos living in horrible conditions in places like ajegunle, ajangbadi, orile etc all in lagos, nigeria's finest city which still has slums talkless of iboland. Cant they go back to their mansions? Ok, they'll do when they die.

ketoprofen: Cry me a river.

bigfrancis21:

Are these towns inhabited only by Igalas? What's their percentage population compared to the number of Igbos there? And are they migrants or natives in these lands?



@bold...yep. That's my village in bold. Enugwu-ukwu is a town because of the presence of hotels, schools, filling stations, modern and state-of-the-art structures and facilities and was described as a town, not village, on wikipedia and many websites.

TribalEAST: ^^^^@Ketoprofen

your hate for yorubas is why you think they are still building mud house.

Top 50 african richest has 5 yorubas and no ibo man. Why? You call them thieves? What will you call the kidnappers, otokoto money ritualists, the hard drug traffickers, fake drug sellers etc that have turned iboland into a place america has warned its people to stay away from. What made enugu did crime capital of the world?

You claim all your people are wealthy but lack billionaires. The richest pastors in nigeria are from which tribe? The richest and most successful musicians are from which tribe? Davido's wealth covers psquare's by large. Top private schools and companies are owned and stationed where? Dont mention aba fake product industries. Yorubas are good and endowed but not perfect but you guys want us to believe ibos are angels.

Another warped logic from you will further expose the rot in alaigbo.

all4naija: Wow! I never knew Igbo people can be lying about their village houses. That is sad to see here.

Thank you.

Odenigbo Aroli:
Ii
Ifite Ogwari is not even an Igala town. That guy is very ignorant. To be honest,those riverline Omanbala doesn't live in mud houses but in that area there is what is called water front shanty and that what he was reffering to and nobody lives there. It is use as a shade for fishermen.

Odenigbo Aroli:

At this point, since nobody can prove the existence of mud house in Igboland why can't you take yourself down there and confirm it,instead of lurking around here like a hungry dog in search of bone.
Nobody is lieing here,rather you are the one displaying your shameless ignorance. Abeg,park wella!

achi4u: Without all4naija this thread would've been death by now, so kudos to my man for keeping us busy all this while.
As an Ebonyi man, there are still few mud houses in the hintervillages of my state , but to every one mud house in a compound there MUST be 2to3 modern houses surrounding it...reasons why some of those mud houses can NEVER be touch or pull down is because most of the old papa and mamas preferred it to brick house, they will tell u that this mud house is chilling during the hamattan season.
Their children will build a modern edifice but their parents will prefer to stay at their old huts.

It is even seen as a taboo for a young person to be living in a mud house in the village and be using GSM phone and other modern technology, even ur parents will not be happy with you,they old grad papa will be seeing you as a failure among ur peers.
How can you be traveling to big cities like Lagos, Abuja etc with a good living condition only to come back home with ur club friends to settle in ur old parents mud house? Never, he rather do any odd jobs in order to built a modern house in his fathers compound.
In my own ONUEKE town, hardly will you see some one still living in a mud house,the only widow still living in such house were pulled down by the youth of the village (Onistha branch which contributed money ) and constructed a three rooms brick house within a week just to level that mud.

Have I make myself clear?

This is a long story indeed. You cannot deceive me with this whitewashed post to make Igbo villages look as though having modern houses with no mud houses. It is very funny to see how you polish your exaggerated statement to suit your Igbo colleagues claim. The funny one is about the widow whose mud building was tore down and was built a brick house by the community just to make sure mud houses were gotten rid off in that village. That is a joke of the new year, if you ask me.


Thank you.
