I have no problem with any group going solo but they should do that without trying to distort history so as to justify their detachment from the greater Igbo nation.

Even if they create an identity for themselves, the'll still be seen as Igbo by the entire world. It will be record breaking to tell someone that your name is "Chinedu Amaechi" but you're not Igbo.
wouldn't it be record breaking to tell someone that your name is "EPENI CHUKUMBANA or ABIAMAMBANA rather than "EKPENIM CHUKWUEMEKA" and your still an ibo? (enye isu)? mind you the word chukwu in ibo isn't the same thing for the ogbas' the ogba people clearly call it "ABIAMA" at least i saw and lived with my grandfather so i know what i'm talking abt.

The same reason why anyone would consider Ogba to be Igbo is the same reason why anyone will equally consider Ngwa Igbo. What makes Ngwa Igbo and not Ogba. Pls be sincere in your reply.
YOU ARE SO LOST IN THIS ARGUMENT.

Truckpusher: why would you waste your precious time trying to educate these ignorant igbos...pazienza is only demonstrating his lack of knowledge in history and geography yet i find it appalling the manner which they carry themselves,bragging abt a great igbo nation when 85% of negative name calling of nigerians in foreign countries are crimes being committed by this great and wonderful people...great and wonderful indeed mtcheew.
Stop this your silly logic. In my own community, God is also called Chukwuabiama, Abiama Igwe. Does. That make my community less Igbo.

SURE WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME IGBOS THAT CAME AND SETTLED IN THE 1800S FOR TARDE AND ALSO THOSE THAT WHERE BOUGHT AS SLAVES BUT THIS REPRESENTS A VERY LITTLE PORTION OF THE ENTIRE POPULATION THAT IS IF THE LINEAGE STILL EXIST TILL THIS 21ST CENTURY...MAYBE YOU ARE ONE THEM.

Abiama is Igbo god rooted in Aro . Must have traveled down to Ogba through Aro traders. It does not however prove anything but I just want to tame your ignorance. It is used in almost the entire Igboland in Igbo traditional religion.

The Igbo believe in a supreme omniscient god called Chukwu Abiama that never interferes with their livelihood. No sacrifices are ever made to Chukwu, but he's still considered the receiver of all sacrifices which are made to the plethora of minor gods.

Truckpusher, you are really stup.Id, you know nothing about igbo tribes,the fact that you are comparing a simple tribe like ogba to a conglomerate of tribes like the igbo nation further proves how ill equipped you are for this topic.

Imagine your ignorance,you think ogba is the only tribe that says ABIAMA,gosh! Even my 10yrs old cousin knows that abiama is an aro lexicon used by many igbo tribes .

Hehe! First of all,you go about throwing abiama around thinking it is peculiar to ogba,and when your ignorance was exposed,you pulled this shi.t above from your anus.

Guy,do yourself a favour,leave that your bushland,travel to other igbo clans,and learn. Stop disgracing this board with your ignorance. The problem with you lots is that you seldom travel,and you know next to nothing about other igbo tribes.

Please this argument is becoming repetitious. let them be whoever they seem fit. If being Igbo is so hard for them to bear while they can claim it as language; then they can be considered as aliens who took root from Binis' but happen to speak Igbo or better still they can fall from the skies, others have done it before. but my advice is they should restructure the language and their culture so that they won't be mistaken for who they aren't since a greater number of people are already using the Language/culture and they are not from bini.

Besides, I heard a part of owerri do not inter marry with the Ikwerres as they are related. How True is this?
Re: Why Don't The People Of Onelga In Rivers State Sell Land to Igbos? by steveec122(m): 2:41am On Jul 16, 2013
So you still do not understand that explanation, ok
Bini can not by land from Edo
Arewa cannot by land from hausa
ijebu can not buy from yoruba
kai, Please Igbo's are people not just a spot on earth,
no man made creation of state or region can make igbos in rivers or delta (Ikwerre, ogba, aniocha,etc)
deny their root.
Imo people understand their language better than the Afikpos and Ohafias
abdul izom: You can disprove me by making an inquiry, not by castigation.
This is a reality, no Igbo can buy a single plot of land in Omoku and Onelga as whole.
Confirm it, this is a world of info tech.

NRI PRIEST: Wonders shall never end! Who are these Onelga ppl ? Firstly,I will not set foot there talk more of buying lands there....Kogi and Benue ppl are giving lands free to Igbos to invest and we are hear discussing a group with no presence! If they like let them sell lands to yorubas and boko harem.......I dont care! If they like let them claim Uhrobo I dont care but one thing I am sure of is that they will need our help 00pm oneday just like the Ijaws....These ppl are probably not up to 100,000 in population and we are here discusing a non factor..Op is probably from there and comehere to seek cheap populaity amongst the IGBOS!
Op,tell ur ppl I said they should shove all ther lands into their weak a..ss! Everybody wan use Igbos shine!

Especially because they are honourable, if one considers their arrogance,dubious nature,brashness,ingenuity in relationships and association,condescending and belittling attitude,proud and difficult,egocentric and ethnocentric,self-centredness,selfishness,uncouthness,vulgarity and a host of other ills, the whole world might be forced to blot them out of history,for even angels and demons alike frown at this fellows. But Nd'igbo are still very honourable and if this all being honourable is all about then a civilized Yoruba man is dishonourable.

How can an obga person tell who is igbo or not. Isnt ogba and ndoni igbo? How can they tell the difference of a se igbo and ss igbo if they bear the same name.
Re: Why Don't The People Of Onelga In Rivers State Sell Land to Igbos? by Chukwuedoz: 4:19pm On Aug 15, 2017
It appears some people just like to argue about what they have no knowledge of or have refused to tell themselves the obvious truth ..truth so glaring that it needs no argument of any sort .igbos are despised and rejected in onelga and therefore allowed to merely exist under watchful envious eyes.Land is not sold to igbos at all at all...infact let me put it like they put it ....land is not sold to "indi isu".That's the degrading term they use to show disdain and describe igbos.
Re: Why Don't The People Of Onelga In Rivers State Sell Land to Igbos? by Chukwuedoz: 4:26pm On Aug 15, 2017
Amazing thing is that they all answer Igbo names and speak mutilated Igbo.But yet they reject igbos...its simply becos of that oil.clearly u can see they are igbos but they reject it with disgust.Yet the lifeline of the entire onelga is dependent. on igbos..all the supermarkets are run by igbos ,all the big stores are owned by the same igbos they merely allow to pitch.

I'm just hearing of this, if it's true then must be due to some misunderstanding in the past, not bcuz omoku pepo or igbo pepo r bad, but even blood brodas have disagreements once in a while, no tribe is saintly

Just to revise this topic, which group in ONElGA does not sell land to Igbo's because Egbema people who are located in this local government are unrepentant Igbo's and would sell land to Igbo's.

There's nothing wrong in learning. I hadn't been to Egbema when this thread was opened and i assumed that the thread was referring to the entire ONELGA. Infact, i didnt even realize that there were different Igboid groups i the said ONELGA. So, what i stand to gain is to get better information because it ill be misleading to assume that Igbos are not being sold land in the entire local government.
