And this fool thinks he made sense

kekakuz: another long slave story.
they were not allowed to eat goat which they prepared for their Yoruba masters daily.
when oranmiya finally liberated them.the only thing they feel like eating was ewu(goat)
but they are afraid the their masters will know because ewure (goat) is the special meat of the Yoruba masters.

so they shorten ewure to ewu as a form of disguise yet the are afraid the yourubas will still know because they are great in knowledge.
so the used ewi meaning rat.
they felt their Yoruba lords will not be angry if they heard that they are eating rat.(rat who cares lol)
that is how rats saved them from slavery and that settlement was named nnewi for we were saved by the rats.
till this day,people of nnewi don't eat Bush rat but they don't mind eating house rat as that is the only way they can secretly eat rat.

I hope you learnt the truth.

500GP: SO ANAMBRA IS A NO MAN'S LAND. BENIN HAS A STAKE IN ANAMBRA

peppyluv02: And this fool thinks he made sense

yes he does

Nice history but there are snags here as a man from Amichi Nnewi south there is no leadership position of Nnewi amongst us Igbo most Igbo towns are independent and come together for diplomatic and administrative position . Yes in terms of relationship with Aros we have it....like my own part of amichi comes from ndiogbuonyeoma ndi Izuogu. But another notion I found appealing is giving indegines of ontisha migrant status. Yes we might have some migrants from Benin but let us be careful here. We have natives that absorbed these migrants and Onitsha history is clear on that .

That's a good write up but fee diatortion. We have boundary with otolo

Am not sure there is any household in Nnewi that doesn't have one or two motorbike.its more like our identity.

you r100% right! Same wt cars..... ndi-nkwechiri!

teufelein: nnewi is a jungle, unplanned city, waste disposal site and can be equated to a place suitable only for undomesticated animals. there's absolutely nothing to write home about nnewi city; IT IS A JUNGLE!

you should be proud to associate with Nnewi people cos they will teach you how to progress sharply . They person that told must be from neighbouring state # proudly akaboukwu uruagu Nnewi

manneger2:
edo is not pronounce like edo state, is edo meaning Gold in igbo language for example anaedo means land of Gold....

Anaedo actually means 'yellow land'. Edo in Igbo means yellow, while ola edo means gold- ie yellow jewel.

Lots of 1diots on nairaland these days,I swear.Thought they only infest the politics section,now they are here.Sad

The thread is about Nnewi,not Nnewi n its satellite towns else one would have delved into the history,traditions n institutions specific to Ichi n Oraifite,our brothers.
Amichi,as a town,has its own history separate from that of Nnewi.That it came under Nnewi's influence at some point doesn't change that.
And yes,there's no single Aro settlement in any of Nnewi's four quarters till this day.

Nnewi, Nigeria's Jerusalem. I visited Nnewi once. While walking on the street I got a whiff of a strong burning smell, it smelled like burning rubber. As I walked on, I saw a man putting human body parts into a Big pot. I was aghast!! How?! Why?! These words came into my mind. Then I remembered "Oshukwu" the cannibal of Nnewi, this brought a big smile to face. Oh NNewi.

vislabraye: . Hmmm.... Wonders will never end.

That's the point we are talking Nnewi as a town has four quarters and Amichi as a town has seven quarters but they have maintained diplomatic relations for ceturies with their independence unless wars which was fought and I know histories of both towns till Igboukwu where I am nwadi ani

Nwanna udo

But that migrant theory of onitshashould

Yes I might tend to agree with you in some issues but Nnewi as an influence only stopped within the four quarters of Nnewi while amichi has seven quarters also but there has been cultural relationship for centuries and we see both as brothers but with different kings .Nnewi is orizu while amichi is ezuoke but I think that notion of Benin and Onitsha has to be corrected cos I know that there are indigrnes before migrations just like Nnewi and amichi

I love this cultural awareness... as of aro issue I will investigate just my grand dad is dead

hollypagan: this writer only described nnewi north what about the south

Thats what I wanted to know

OdenigboAroli: How did Onitsha get into all these? And this your Obi title isn't even original to Anaedo, it was borrowed from the Onitsha axis communities. There is only two Obis in Anambra, Obi of Onitsha and Nsugbe. And these two communities had migration from Anioma. Even the closest Anambra towns to Anioma doesn't even have the Obi title. Even Obi is non existent in many Anioma towns. Nnewi has no migrants from Anioma,at least non is recorded. Obosi has Umuezechima but still were immune to their influence let alone Nnewi that never had any contact with Onitsha prior colonialism.

Orafite has Obi. Though they have Anioma( Ukwuani) influence, via the umuezeopi clan that migrated to the town from Ukwuani area.

mki: Anaedo actually means 'yellow land'. Edo in Igbo means yellow, while ola edo means gold- ie yellow jewel.

I believe that Edo in this case refers neither to the colour yellow nor to gold. Edo is/was a female deity worshipped in Nnewi, and the other towns that formed the Ana-Edo group of communities.

Pls which communities are membership of ana Edo.

Nnewi, Oraifite, and (I think) Ichi (not sure of the last one).
