Afemai traditional enemies of Igbos?.
In what alternate universe did that happen,pray tell?.
When did Igbos start having traditional enemies?.

alexlee50:
Bendel state, before then midwest region.delta has never been part of eastern territory, although there may be people with igbo names and similar language with igbo in delta state.abavo where oliseh comes from speak ika language which is the same as that spoken agbor

freshvine:


Ignorance is bliss to you I guess.

A community bears igbo names, it gets to the village, town city and a whole population of about 500000 and you call that similar language and name?

Delta, Mid West, Bendel State and those other names are geographical expression and has no bearing on the cultural identity of a group.

alexlee50:
if u read the original comment I responded to , the poster gave the impression that delta state is part of eastern region.what I just did is to point out the fact that delta state has never been a part of eastern region.before it was delta, it was bendel, before then it was mid west region, before then it was part of western region.now from agbor to abavo they speak the ika language. From there to asaba we have the anioma people.l cannot authoritatively tell you their history, where they come from and how they settled where they are today.but I know agbor and asaba people trace their history to the bini kingdom.they may share similar character with our brothers from the east, what I want to tell u is that the land mass known as delta has never been part of eastern region.

^^^Speak for your snivelling pathetic self! I'm from that (political) south south you speak of (blame Gowon and his southern cohorts for that) and i'm a full-blooded Igbo man and in support of Biafra!

If you're really from the 'south south', i'm ready to bet my last naira you're a apc sympathizer, have some kind of affiliation to the known Igbo haters, you like Buhari and dislike GEJ, and finally, you'd prefer the status-quo in Nigeria subsists rather than have the polity restructured!

laudate:


Don't be funny! I knew you were going to take the lazy man's route to get answers to this question, and that was why I asked you to go and conduct your own checks. I will ask you again to go and do your research.

The Esan and Afemai people are not related to the Igbankes or any other Igboid group. So take your shallow mind out of the waters of ignorance, and conduct a study on the Esan and Afemai people before you come back here to mis-yarn.



Haba! In what strange way are they heavily influenced by Igbo people?? Which of the Afemai people told you that? Or which of the Esan mentioned this fallacy to you? What aspect of their cultural music sounds 'Igbo', abeg?? Don't even go there. If you call an Esan man or an Afemai person, an Igbo.... you may receive some wicked insults, o! The Ovb'iedo will not take kindly to you trying to assign another identity to them!

Their names, language and culture are thoroughly Edo!

Vicotex:
my niqqa no misquote me.
I grew up there listening to their local/highly respected cultural musicians in Auchi, namely "Ekpe young", "Ogagbi", "Waziri", "Young Bolivia". You'll find igbo elements in their music.
When it comes to food, they adopted most of Igbo food, and are served during any traditional/cultural occasion.


I never mentioned that they speak like igbo or answer igbo names.

I listen to Waziri and Young Bolivia and they do have that soothing highlife sound in their music, I'll give you that much. But I still doubt they have any Igbo elements, give the fact that they are very different culturally.

laudate:


What are the Igbo elements in their music??! I asked you this question earlier. And what kind of Igbo food did they adopt?? Are you sure that you were not dining with people who are not indigenes but who originally came from Igbo land, to settle there? Or maybe you were dining with those whose wives were from Ala'Igbo.

To the best of my knowledge, Afenmai people descended from Benin, so it is highly unlikely that their music has Igbo elements, o!


Abeg, help me tell dem!

aim5:
I can see where he's coming from when he says that Igbo and Afemai music are similar.. he's probably confusing that peaceful, melodic highlife sound for an Igbo influence in their music.

I see! Is he saying highlife originated from the Igbo?

rhymaster:
Ibos have the most debilitating and shameful form of inferiority complex! Is it by force that he must be ibo? No other peoples of Nigeria would even bat an eye lid if someone said he is not Yoruba, Hausa, Ibibio, Edo, etc but say you are not Ibo and watch ibos relive their collosal loss of the civil war! The war dealt permanent damage to the psyche and brains of ibos. If Oliseh and his family deem themselves to be from Mars, how does that affect or should that affect anyone? Yes, the SE lost a match while he was in
charge, but ibos now use that as a wedge? This is uncivilized and disgraceful. No sensible ibo will ever wish to be identified with petty, silly
and illogical people driven by the destructive emotions of the ibo. Or does it pain you that you cannot cry marginalization of "our brother" like you always do? Most ibos need a
brain transplant to normalize their existence! All your cries of the zoo is more than guaranteed to create more venom against you when you start another useless war like Ojukwj and no doubt this hatred will ensure you
are hammered harder than 67, I worry Nigeria will not allow you to surrender and get amnesty like they did in 1970.

ekenedegreat:
I think you're the one with shallow mind here. You're making issues out of nothing!!

ArodewilliamsT:
When i told my close friends that
oliseh have stated failing immediately
he denied his genealogy they thought
i was joking. Heck the Super eagle is
made up of 95% Biafrans. His comments
will pit him against internationally
based players of Biafran origin.
If i were an Igbo/Biafran player do
you think i would have given my all to
any game after he made such
comments? Let him shop for odua-
Arewa players. Let's see how it goes?
I personally want the Super Chickens
to fail anyway, let everything that
makes the zoo happy crumble
already!

Am in doubt if you wrote this with mundane wisdom.
You have a perfect understanding of the psychic of the Ibo and have put it succinctly.
The way they go about making enemies of most tribes in Nigeria and establishing odious reputations for themselves outside the shores of this country makes me shudder to think they may be destined for partial extinction.
No tribe in the entire world is on record to be as hateful, pompous, intolerant, boastful, vindictive, expantionistic, morbidly acquisitive, conceited, unenlightened and primitive regardless of western education and confused as the Ibo.

They make a classic case study for mental diagnosis considering the preponderance of these attitudes among them.

what is even annoying is her comment that since he's not Igbo, he should be judged by merit alone.

what kind of nonsense is this? Dont people think before they type?

stanech:
Hawusa and Yourobbers can have him

We don't need him.


We don't associate with failures

Vicotex:
not talking bout' highlife.
I said listen to the sound you'll hear it.
You probably haven't heard an Afemia traditional song before.
There is no need exchanging words with you

Xpaz:

Do you know that of d Yoruba tribe is Worse.?
I believe d lifestyle d Igbo live nowadays are copied from d Yoruba.
cos d Yorubas at all tym attack d Igbo,telling lies and spreading all sort of propaganda against the Igbo in order to make other tribe to hate the Igbo.
so I believe the Igbo adopted their new lifestyle for defence and retaliation of which a reasonable human being who want to survive in a country like Nigeria should do.
so I don't see why d Yoruba who started d hate war should start crying
of hate.

PenSniper:



Oliseh was the first to disassociate himself from failures, bigotry and innate criminal tendencies of Ibo so your belated rejection of him holds no water.

Vicotex:
Egusi soup (Igbo food) served side by side with Groundnut soup (Afemai food) in the coronation of the Uthairu/Ogie (King) and during "Age group".

They also use "Ogene" drum during their cultural occasion, e.g Age group, marriage etc.

Marotzke:
who asked you all the questions that you are answering? Simple one that you left, is Igbanke in Orhionwon local government area, part of EDO state? Are Igbanke people Igbo or Igboid or whatever? I know of one pastor (Pharm) Leonard Onyibe. From Igbanke Edo state. Unapologetically Igbo. Unquestionably EDO.

Ask General Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia where his mother was from? And her maiden name? Then you will understand that there are Igbos in Edo state. Leave Ishan and Afemai people alone. No one
mentioned them.

EasternLionn:


Mumu.

PenSniper:
Even if Ogbemudia's mother is Ibo, does that make him Ibo ?
