Afam4eva:

WOW, so your father is a politican? I don catch you today

No.

RedboneSmith:


I have.

Sorry.

Thank you . How do you know so much about Ogbaru people?

ehikwe22:
You see, you shouldn't a word into another word simply because it makes more sense. History should be about what was, what is and never what ought to be. Besides, ehi is not from Igbo language why are you concerned about if it makes sense in Igbo language? There's nothing like ahi. It's ehi in Ika and ashi in Enuani. It's from Bini language and has the same meaning and significance in Ika Land. In all our myths, legends and fairy tales, after God, next is Ehi and Ogiso. Other very significant figures are olokun and Ojuwu the devil.

Bia ehikwe you and your ika Bini crew should stop going into a frenzy over Igbo issues.
The Igbo you're sweating about is a collection of dialects of which your ika is the westernmost(whether you believe ika is an Igbo dialect is actually your ish) while isobo is the easternmost...or can you point to somewhere in Nigeria and tell me that the people there are Igbos
Now am talking about standard Igbo... And the way its built is by borrowing from Igbo dialects for terms not generally used,which means if we've to come to ika and borrow a terminology, we'd do it. For example the Igbo for fortress iga was gotten from ika actually. And if that doesn't exist in any of the dialects, we simply borrow from a neighbouring tongue and Igbonize it or we agglutinate.
Yes...ehi was borrowed from Edo by the ika for use as guardian spirit and was transmitted unchanged to the enuani who changed it to ashi bkos they can't pronounce the "h" sound. But now we're going to borrow it and Igbonize it to "ahi" using our standardization rules and let it serve as our terminology for aura
So tell me ehikwe....where and where in Nigeria do you find the Igbos Gimme locations

Thank you . How do you know so much about Ogbaru people?

Why won't I know about my kin? Oshimili and Ogbaru are kin. We are all riverain people.

Afam4eva:

If you're from the Onitsha axis, they'll tell you that you're Anioma with links to bini

Personally, if i had my way, we should just cut off everyone from Delta and Rivers state. This insults are just too much. We have left more pressing issues to give some insignificant small groups the effrontery to act more important than they are. I've started becoming very wary of any so called Igboid person from Delta or Rivers state.

That would be a huge problem for someone like me as I consider some Anioma people from Delta state to be my brethren. My family has intermarried with them for years and that's how I know that they are proud Igbos. My grandmother was from Aboh, again, I can't reveal exactly who she is, and she was a very proud Igbo woman.

RedboneSmith:

Yep. Divided we fall, united we stand .

RedboneSmith, you seem to know more about this than me. Is it just Oshimili people that Ogbaru/Onitsha people are related to or is it all of Enuani? I've done some research on the matter but some of my sources are conflicting.

Of course, there are proud Igbos from that axis but they're not dling anything to affirm to their Igboness. They keep quiet while people like Emeka Esogbue who are bent on disuniting Igbos are having a field day. If you come across some of these Anioma people who disclaim Igbo in real life, you'll hate them, i'm telling you. And i'm not talking about Ika or Ukwuani people. I'm talking about people from the Asaba area.

Ngozi123:


Yep. Divided we fall, united we stand .

Be very wary of the people you're uniting with.

Nwannem, those people are brainwashed; you can only present them with facts and leave the conversation. They'll eventually get their wake up call. All of the Delta Igbos I've met, both within and without my family, have been proud Igbos so all of the noisemakers don't faze me .

Afam4eva:

Before I go any further, who exactly do you think I'm uniting with?

Many of them are not brainwashed like we'll like to think. They know exactly what they're doing. Present them with all the facts in the world, they've made up their minds not to be associated with anything Igbo.

Ngozi123:

Your supposed kits and kins from the other side of the Niger. They'll only like you and accept you if you can join them in the denying game I've studied these people like bible and know how they reason.

The only thing i was able to take out from this
article is just another attempt by some people to
dissociate Anioma from the larger Igbos as much
as possible.


Unfortunately, going by the OP antecedents, the above is the aim of this thread.

I know of an Issele-Uku man called Biniamaka. I thought the name was a little funny
See them.

" I came across a writup on the naming system of
the Anioma people on Facebook (Proudly Anioma
group) and I decided to share it here so that
everyone can be educated on Anioma onomastics.
See it below:"

Mischievous OP can't even bring himself down to mention the fact that the thread was culled from a group called "Proudly Anioma, Proudly Igbo", notice he stopped at "Proudly Anioma", while deliberately omitting the "Proudly Igbo" part of the group. Such is the character of the OP.

You Think his omission of the Igbo there was unintentional, but those of us in this field, know better.

Afam4eva:

Then just leave those ones. Focus on the ones who claim Igbo and get them to be more vocal about it. I know many who are proud Igbos. In fact, I don't think that I've met anyone from that axis that has denied their Igbo heritage.

Afam4eva:

Your supposed kits and kins from the other side of the Niger. They'll only like you and accept you if you can join them in the denying game I've studied these people like bible and know how they reason.

Nope. Everyone I know from that region is a proud Igbo person, both within and without my family. Some people may act like that but not all .

Can you imagine me of all people denying my Igbo heritage? No way.

I'm suspecting the op too. As I said before, if that was his intention then it's dead on arrival because some SE Igbos have those names too.

My advice to the OP is to leave Igbo matters alone and concentrate on his Urhobo group.

I remember the last time you ventured on Ibibio-Efik-Annang issue, the people nearly had your head for dinner.

Leave Anioma issues for Anioma and SE to sort out, the diversity in Anioma is present in all Igbo border groups( Arochukwu/ Abriba, Nsukka, Aguleri/ Ayamelum, Ndoki/Etche/Ikwerre) and is same all over the world where ever two or more ethnic groups meet each other.

Focus more on Okpe intending split from Urhobo Ethnic group, it would do you alot better.

You had not long ago been on campaign of showing NL how non Igbo groups in SS would want no association with SE in the name of Biafra.

What do you intend to achieve with this thread?
To get Anioma people to deny SE too and embrace Edoids like you?

Is that what this thread is all about?

Better take your time.

Afam4eva:

WOW, so your father is a politican? I don catch you today

Never mind, i know who your father is.

No way!

Ngozi123:


No way!

I actually do. I did the math.

Afam4eva:

I actually do. I did the math.

He's not a politician.

Ngozi123:


I'm suspecting the op too. As I said before, if that was his intention then it's dead on arrival because some SE Igbos have those names too.

Trust me on this. That's his exact objective.

Ngozi123:


He's not a politician.

Maybe not. But he's in the political circles.

Afam4eva:

Maybe not. But he's in the political circles.

Yes. You're getting warmer. I'm still not sure that you know who he is though because there's a politician from Ogbaru that has the same last name as me. We might be distantly related but I'm not sure.

Ngozi123:


Yes. You're getting warmer. I'm still not sure that you know who he is though because there's a politician from Ogbaru that has the same last name as me. We might be distantly related but I don't think so.

Lol Are you trying to keep me off balance?

Afam4eva:

Lol Are you trying to keep me off balance?

I have a feeling on who you might think it is. If you think that it's that person, then you're wrong. Not many young people will know who my dad is but some older people might.

Ngozi123:


I have a feeling on who you might think it is. If you think that it's that person, then you're wrong.

That's why i'm wondering why you say he's not a politician because anybody appointed into a position even if he's not elected is still somewhat a politician.

Afam4eva:

That's why i'm wondering why you say he's not a politician because anybody appointed into a position even if he's not elected is still somewhat a politician.

When you say "politician", you're talking about national politics, like LGA Rep/ Governor or any ministerial position, right?

Ngozi123:

Yeah, whether at the federal or state level. He could even be a man of God.

Afam4eva:

Yeah, whether at the federal or state level. He could even be a man of God.

No, he's not a politician in that capacity. Like I said, you'd probably not know him if you're young.

Bro. seriously, that guy is a deeply DANGEROUS Igbo-hating bigot. His hatred is steep and extremely deep rooted. The worse part is that he glosses it up with barefaced hypocricy and treachery.

So bad that I once thought he was geninue only to find out that he is irredeemably damaged on the inside.
