Specially asaba everything about that place is so Igbo all the clubs,hotels,supermarkets filling stations are owned by igbos in asaba,people driving blasting phyno FADA FADA everywhere in asaba even10 yrs old children sings FADA FADA . Sometimes I myself get funny feeling because other tribes live in asaba which is capital of delta state.
The other day I drove to Zenith bank in asaba with my two best friends,one is from Anambra state the other one from Ebonyi state, bobby is from Ebonyi state but live in Asaba with his wife,three of us was in zenith bank speaking Igbo language and the Ebonyi guy speaks laud everyone in the bank felt relaxed.Igboland is only a place you speak Igbo and none igbos don't feel low or sometimes you can see fear in their eyes don't ask me why when you see none igbos ask them why.Once you travel out of Igbo territories speak Igbo and watch the way none Igbo will be looking at you like you speaking superior language.Well don't blame them Igbo language is a heavenly language.
Sing praises in Igbo God will answer your prayer immediately this is a fact.

...... Please ooo.. All these igbo people thinking port Harcourt is theirs, just keep dreaming. This your greedy nature won't allow your fight for Biafra to work!

MrAnalyst:
The Delta state government has said Agbor and Asaba are Igbo cities. Agbor disputably. Asaba being an Igbo enclave is already a conclusion. Port Harcourt can be classed an Igbo city but argue all you want. The way some particular people are pouring their frustrations here is alarming.
cc Realman87 explorer250

Its really pathetic how these loosers in their envy will keep argueing over something that is already a known fact! Asaba & Agbor are entirely Igbo cities Ditto most parts of P.H. Even with all the facts on ground & on record yet they are frustrated & keep saying nonsense. Na wa o.

Yorubanews:
Loving this thread. SS people una wan join Biafra ba?

Why are you so much interested in Bia.fra? You are neither from the SE nor SS yet you are so envious! For the records, the agitation is for like minds, nobody is being forced & in the new nation, every state will control its resources & pay tax to the centre. Mind your business, people of Niger Delta knows what is good for them & they are saying it both in words & action!

betterABIAstate:
we should also respect there stance, a typical ikwerre man doesn't have this hustling spirit of an Igbo, they just speak Igbo, that's all

If only you knew the amount of hussling behind the success that is julius agwu, you will not be saying this. I know how many times i encountered julius agwu at adeniran ogunsanya carrying brown envelope up and down.

Tell us the meaning Hopeathand

Millerz:
I never said I was Ikwerre.

So why are you speaking for them? Did they make you their advocate??

MrAnalyst:

Tell us the meaning Hopeathand

Ogbunabali is a town which was founded on a land belongigng to Orogbum and Oroabali communities.. The full spelling of the name is Ogbum-nu-abali.

Another example is Okoro-nu-odo. That is the area where that big Anglican church at Rumuokoro roundabout is situated. The name is a combination of Rumuokoro and Rumuodomaya.

Thank me later.

Ugomba:
okay. So the guy na imposter. Chai.

He is not just an impostor , he is something even worst. A YORUBA IMPOSTOR.

Hopeathand= Yoruba impostor

Ogbunuabali literally translates to " He that kills in the night". It means the same in Ikwerre and all Igbo dialects.

An Ikwerre man from Ikwerre LGA that hadn't been to PH before will translate it as that too.

And anybody who has interest can always investigate how the name came about, he mustnt be an Ikwerre person to do so.
So you telling the history of how Ogbunuabali was coined does not make you an Ikwerre any more than me knowing that Ilorin was coined from "Ilu erin" ( place of elephants) make me a YORUBA person.

I'll slap you! Are you a little kid? Tell me the meaning of Ogbunabali,you're telling me it's was almagated fabricated. As an Ikwerre tell me the interpretation of "Ogbunabali"

Personally I think its the depth of callousness for an outsider to hide and claim Ikwerre just to cause disunity. Ikwerre can be whatever they choose but some tribes are really really cursed!!!

MrAnalyst:

It's possible that Ogbunuabali was fabricated. But that does not change the fact that it literary translates to "He that kills in the night".

For example, we know that Anioma was fabricated by Osadebey using A= Aniocha, N= Ndokwa, I= Ika, O= Oshimili, then adding adding MA as a common denominator to create ANIOMA.
But that does not change the fact that in all Igbo speaking territories, ANIOMA literary translates as "Good land".

By the way, Hopeathand is not an Ikwerre person, stop wasting your time on him.

Ikwere is igbo and will continue to be igbo,
Anybody that thinks other wise should come with a reasonable proof,
Does Chukwu sound yorubatic to any body in here?

MrAnalyst:

told ya already. Orgbum and Oroabali is Ogbum-nu-abali.

Whatever definition you have in your head is your stress.

The balkanization of Igboland is very essential to keeping Nigeria one. Keep Igbos disunited and Balkanized, you increase your chance of keeping Nigeria one.

Yorubas are one Nigeria apologists, put two and two together, and you understand why it's necessary that they claim Ika, Ikwerre, Etche, etc identities to keep Igboland disunited.

For example, Ndiigbo know that Badagry people are not Yorubas, they don't speak a yoruboid dialect nor understand Yoruba as a first language, but you don't see Igbos impersonating badagry here to divideYorubaland. Why? Because unity or Division of Yoruba land means nothing to an average Igbo man.

Ogbum-nu-abali means Orogbum and Oroabali. Simple.

I can interpret any Igbo speaking territory as I wish to. A yoruba man has no say whatsoever in it.

I understand fully what you mean but Ogbunabali has a meaning of it's own which the impostor cannot decipher. Anyway who cares about Ikwerre or Hopeathand. Bigger things are on deck.

Your bolded got me laffing.

Everyone musnt agree with you.Thats life for you. Saying that im not Ikwerre doesnt change the fact that i am. You are not even Ikwerre, so you're not qualified to speak on anything Ikwerre.

Its funny how Igbos waste time and energy trying to force an issue that is beyond them.

It is not for the Igbo to say Ikwerre is Igbo, it is for the Ikwerre to accept being Igbo.

if we are not interested, you cant coerce brotherhood from us. You cant afford to have dissenters within your ranks. It wil be a costly mistake.

Ogbunabali means same thing in both Igbo and Ikwerre but the translation in this case is exactly what Hopeathand wrote. Ogbum is a clan closely related to Abali clan. Ogbunabali is a corruption of Ogbum nu Abali.

Don't fall for his trap.

The game plan of the Yoruboids and their Edo partners are:

1, Impersonate Ikwerres, Ikas, Etches, Oshimili, Ukwuani etc,

2, Start making anti Igbo / Igbophobic comments. Provoke the SE Igbos to make harsh comments towards Ika, Ikwerre, etc

3. When the SE falls into the above trap by making harsh statements against those Igboid groups in anger, they ( Yoruboids) withdraw back and use our words against these Igboid groups against us, by presenting it to the Igboids as a the proof that the SE has no genuine love for them but are rather attached to their oil wealth and land space.

Imagine Igbos asking me, an Ikwerre, to translate the name of an Ikwerre community they way they want and not how the people came about.

Pls talk to your people, they seem to be getting too emotional on issues beyond them. it tends to becloud their sense of rationality.

No true Igbo man will accept Ikwerre as Igbo as events over time has shown our differences. Though we speak similar language and intermarry we have developed over time different perceptions to life.

It is no game my brother. Only Oshimili/Aniocha, Oyigbo and Egbema are Igbos in Soith-South. We should learn to do away with anybody denying Igbo.
