I never meant to be tribalistic, but i find this amazing. I came to Omoku in Onelga by the year 2008, it was a surprising thing to me, that Land is sold to Yoruba, Hausa and any other tribes but Igbos'. I have over time tried to ask, the reason behind it. All i got as a response was that, they've been badly betrayed in past by Igbos. So no room for chances. Onelga as a L.G.A, is sharing common boundary with Ohaji\Egbema of Imo State. Judging by that proximity, is it better to conclude that, they know them better or is it just been acientic? COS NO IGBO MAN, NO MATTER THE STATUS GETS LAND IN OGBA |

abdul izom: I never meant to be tribalistic, but i find this amazing.Monkey, common shut up your stinking mouth. Every fool wants cheap popularity in nairaland by coming up with one crap about Igbo. In ONELGA, you still have Egbema people whose other Egbema kins are in Imo state. So by your idiotic logic, Igbo does not sell land to Igbo. Monkey, get a life, idiott. 3 Likes |

Still a misplaced war survival strategy aimed at creating a new ethnic group free from anti-Igbo sentiments. Onelga is just a continuation of the eastern part of the riverine Igbo which starts from Ogbaru in Anambra and extends past Egbema-Oguta in Imo to Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni in Rivers. We are all the same people. In the past the same Nzeobi was ruling the entire Egbema but we now have a different Nzeobi for Rivers and different for Imo. Well done to our dividers. Unu emela. . The balkanization of Egbema into two different States (Imo and Rivers States) The balkanization of Egbema into two different States (Imo and Rivers States) is another constraint to infrastructural and economic development of Egbema Community. Making a case for the re-unification of Egbema into one State, the[b] Nzeobi of Egbema, HRM, Eze S. N. A. Uzor (Late) at the 1975 Justice Irikefe panel on the creation of new States and boundaries adjustment stressed that, “ it was suicidal as well as criminal to split the inseparable and indivisible Egbema just to satisfy the whims and caprices of politicians.”[/b] The backwardness of Egbema kingdom is an aftermath of thisdivide. While tangible indices of development exist in Egbema Rivers, that of their kith and kin inImo state are sordid. On many occasions, Egbema in Imo State - a bona fide member of the lowerNiger Delta – have been excluded from beneficial schemes given to the Niger Delta region. During the passage of the NDDC bill in 2000, Egbema in Imo State almost lost its inclusion in the NDDCbill, but for painstaking and cost involving efforts of prominent politicians and power moguls of Egbema extract. Worth mentioning is the legislative dexterity and tenacity of Hon. Tony Okere Eze and the Oguta-breed Senator Arthur Nzeribe, who were at the then National Assembly. http://www.scribd.com/doc/60363903/Oil-Activity-in-Egbema The part in Imo refused to disclaim Igbo and hence are treated badly by the Federal Government. The more you disclaim Igbo, the more your gain. The original Nzeobi(Eze or Igwe) stool for the entire Egbema is in Imo State but a parallel was created by FG in Rivers to divide and cause enmity. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Abagworo:Are you saying that no single land has been sold to an Igbo onelga? But do they sell to non-igbos? I need some sort of eviedence because that's how we were told that Ikwerres don't seel land to Igbos whereas Igbo have bought over almost all Ikwerre villages. 4 Likes 1 Share |

afam4eva: Some people seem to assume any Igbo speaking group in Rivers as Ikwerre. I think that is where the mistake came from. I posted a link where the cause of all these originated from. Politics of oil and Biafran war. Almost every group in Rivers State has one thing or the other with Igbo, especially origin but politics of economy, acceptance and survival has made identifying as Igbo a taboo in Rivers State. All colonial and pre-colonial history has evidence of igboness but most post-1970 history were compromised and manipulated. Even in some cases where the evidences are undeniable, there is usually a claim that Igbos lied to early Europeans. People like Francis Ella of blessed memory who refused to compromise their identity were hated for standing by the truth while power and wealth was given to those spearheading the lies. Even the late Nzeobi of Egbema had most of his properties confiscated in a bid to force him to deny his ethnicity. People like him should be heroes of Igboland because his kingdom was divided and he still stood firm in Imo State. he could have easily denied Igbo, joined Rivers State and got his kingdom and properties back. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Abagworo: You cannot buy land, at any cost, in my town in Anambra because the lands are inherited lands. Igbos mostly sell free lands, agu and okeohia, to non natives. So people like abdul izom should stop manipulating the truth to score a cheap point. |
| Re: Why Don't The People Of Onelga In Rivers State Sell Land to Igbos? by abdulizom(m): 5:06pm On Jun 27, 2012 |
I said it and still repeating it, no Igbo man buy a piece of Onelga at any cost. A trillion naira can not afford igbo man a land in Omoku. They give out even free sometimes to any other tribe, my landload is yoruba man from Osun. igbos who use oda peoples' name to buy and built, have their building ceased by d community. It is reality, pls confirm it. My question is why not igbo |

abdul izom: I said it and still repeating it, no Igbo man buy a piece of Onelga at any cost. Its true but Omoku people are Igbos. In opening remarks during festival Oru n'Igbo is used in addressing the people. They know themselves as Oru n'Igbo which is common amongst all riverine Igbos. That law was borne out of a lie claiming that Igbos polluted their original language and made them start speaking Igbo and if Igbos are allowed to own properties that they will lose their identity as their language is already changed to Igbo. Those lies were products of Biafran war propaganda used by the Federal side to win the oil producing communities and give them distinct ethnic status. http://ogbakingdom.com/royal-fathers/ 1 Like |

While I don't completely blame them because being Igbo reduces your acceptance in Nigeria but however a wise man knows that at the end of the day you can't stop being you. When I went for a job in NDDC, and wrote state of origin as Imo, there was an uproar that an Igboman wants to take the job of Niger Delta even after I made it clear that my LGA produces more oil than most onshore areas in Nigeria. The reason is because we are in Imo State and hence our Igboship is indisputable. From the biblical angle, Peter denied being a Christian three times and Judas betrayed Christ for money but some people like St Stephen accepted and died for refusing to renounce their faith. Francis Ella and Nzeobi S.N. Uzor chose not to renounce their ethnicity. 3 Likes 1 Share |

It is funny how Nigerian discriminate against each other.  Ok let me say the truth here. The so called Onelga people need to leave this 1400 mentality. I am a yoruba man from Lagos royal family and if I have no problem with Igbos, I wonder why you should. Yes we have our differences here on Nairaland but in reality, we yorubas and Igbos cannot be separated and we are miles away from ala igbo, not to talk of you onelga people which are relatives of Igbos.

ChinenyeN: I am but as I have mentioned before due to family business I was privileged enough to have lived in Asaba, PH, Enugu and Onitsha. In all four states, which inhabit the four cities, we have houses and stores. In three of the four states plus three more states, unfortunately, we never inhabited the three additional states, we have lands in which my father uses as a business of buying and reselling. Therefore I am actually waiting for either one of them to explain to I how my father came in possession to lands he supposed to not have gotten because he is Igbo if going by the stories we hear every day on this forum. I am even sitting in front of my laptop, scratching my head and wondering whom sold him the land he built our house upon. Judging from the stories, the only way my father could have obtained such objects is through theft. Thus I wonder why hasn't anyone accused my father of stealing the lands or anyone accusing him of building a house in his and or her land and why is it he there is a willing business partner helping my father to resell the land. I still they wonder and I am waiting eagerly for one to explain it. |

Don't play dumb. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, and it's certainly not an insult. You're Delta state, so you're technically not Igbo. Someone else like me for example, who by design is Abia state, is technically Igbo. That's simply the way things are. So it shouldn't come as such a surprise to you that your family apparently has land in places where Igbo supposedly "can't". 1 Like |
