Dr. Akanu Ibiam was so fulfilled that he built his own tomb while he was alive! So, straight-forward that I have not seen a Nigerian (to date) that can fit into his shoe

Are Ebonyi and Abia related? I think so,similar culture and dialect. Parts of Ebonyi was created out of Abia.

Along with states like Zamfara, Jigawa and Yobe, Ebonyi is also ranked by the Federal Ministry of Education as an Educationally Less developed State (ELDS) and therefore, Indigenes of the state require lesser marks to get admitted into Federal Universities, other Federal higher institutions and Unity Schools...

That's a fact too! grin grin grin

I don't even understand any of this, are these the random facts of the state or they're just list of prominent people from Ebonyi?

Funny Ebonyi people. God help you, u wear khaki or nysc brooch go market na there u go know say khaki no be leather. Market men and women will double or triple the price of their wares. Although the state is peaceful, I think most Ebonyians are lazy ( from observation,I stand to be corrected).

Ihuomadinihu: Are Ebonyi and Abia related? I think so,similar cultute and dialect.

The only relationship is that Ebonyi south (Afikpo zone) and Abia north were both in old Imo state and they both greet "Jökwa". Although they share common boundary, I think their culture and dialect are wide apart.

Ayim Pius, current PA to the president is from Ebonyi.

The current minister of Health is from Ebonyi.

The first Nigerian girl to travel in space hails from Ohaozara, Ebonyi state.

Ebonyi is the food basket of the South East with it's GDP increasing yearly, majorly from Agriculture.

Ex President, OBJ served his prison sentence in Abakalili prison, Ebonyi State.

It's also one of the youngest states in Nigeria.

Ebonyians are blessed. There are a lot of untapped potentials in that State.

Have the Ezzas and Izzis stopped slaughtering and eating themselves?

Their rivalry dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. Not only do they kill themselves in intermittent, internecine and fraticidal Wars, they are also known to take the Corpses of their Victims home to be roasted as Suya.

This, no doubt, is a fact too!

Tnx. I don't think it's wide apart though. They have more in common than anyother Igbo state put together.
