Igboid:


[b]I understand everything you said. But you don't unite a nation with such attitude.


Not even Zik who was from Onitsha had such attitude. He treated all parts of Igboland and Eastern region as equals, which they truly are, he was so knowledgeable that he knew all the Igbo speaking groups by names, culture and their unique problems.

He was willingly to set aside the Onitsha man in him to create a pan Igbo strong political unit.

Look at the men he worked with , Ebitu Ukiwe, Nzimiro, Okpara, Osadebey, Ibiam.

They were all from all parts of Igbo land outside Anambra area.

Imagine, Zik saw all parts of Igboland as home, he built the University of Nigeria at Nsukka instead of Anambra area, because he considered Nsukka home. Compare this attitute to those of our current political jobbers who would have sited such in their immediate town or neighbouring town, and you understand why Ndiigbo has struggled to reach our pre Biafran war heights.

Ojukwu was at home in Anambra, Enugu, Imo( Ahiara/ Owerre), Ebonyi, Rivers Igboland, Anioma( he worked with many western Igbos)
He was first a Biafran, then an Igbo, before being an Nnewi man. This is how it should be.

We have lost the spirit of "Anyi bu ofu". Only selfishness and divisions reign now, and we are all worst for it. Okpara, Zik, Akanu Ibiam and co must be turning in their graves.

For the whole to be 1, all parts must be recognized as important, even though they don't seem equal on inspection, yet the machine needs all to be working in full force to be 100% efficient.

Mao of China demonstrated this when he united the Chinese people, by choosing a lesser spoken dialect as the official Chinese language.

No supremacist can unite a nation. From Mao to Otto von Bismarck who united Germanic tribes to form modern Germany, they were all nationalists.

The idea of a superior Omambala culture that must be acknowledged by other Igbo speaking people, is a concept that cannot co exist with a unified Igbo nation. It only leads to balkanization of our people, making us easy pick off by our enemies.

So yes, I believe in Anambra uniqueness, but I don't believe in Omanbala supremacy. I believe that all Igbo speaking groups are unique and important.

We must give away the things that divide us,things that emphasize on our differences, and embrace things that Unite us all, things we share in common.

The options before us are two. Succeed as a whole or fail as units.

Apologies! But leave that dude alone. He's a lost cause! And for your own good never associate with him nor share your personal details, cos he'll use them to hunt you in the future. You can call it a good advice from a brother. Welcome again to nairaland nwanne.

What is wrong wit u guys nah

I have said it, Omanbala is not clan or sub group but An area covered by Igbos wit many clans

Idemili,Umuezechima, Nri and Anaedo


I am from Idemili clan living in same area wit Awka man but daz doesnt mean we share same dialect or Dressing

The only Thing dat Unites us is Being Igbos

Chiwude:
Nice one. Omambala, Anambra, Imo, Orashi, Enugu including all river and state names are all geographic expressions. None represents names of clans nor identity of a people. What we have are clans eg Idemili, Nnewi, Isu, Awka, Owerri, Aguata, Edda, Arochukwu, Nkanu, Nsukka, Ezechima, Ika, Ngwa, Etche, Umuahia, Ezza, Okigwe, Awgu, Ukwuani, Ekpeye, Ikwerre, Mbaise etc which makes up the greater Igbo nation. They are all equals and stakeholders to the Alaigbo project - no superior and no inferior. All Equals! Haters beware!

Check all my post on Nairaland I have never claimed to be igbo..I am an ekpeye man to the core!! But my spirit for the unity of all igboid group will never be suppessed.Not even by a Nitwit like yourself.

pazienza:


This is trash coming from you and Abagworo.

What Igala fugitives are you two talking about?

No Man of Nri ancestry will be happy with the kind of hate messages you lots direct at Nri clans.

Abagworo is an Ikwerre man with their divisive tendency, I can relate with his ill behaviour, but you Chiwude, there is no explanation for you towing his line. None whatsoever.


You are already dividing Igboland with such careless statements, as the one I quoted above.

When the time comes, all of us will suffer for these divisions you lots are causing with your egos and inferiority complex masked as superiority complex.

Chiwude:
I'm not dividing Igboland, I only try to unite it. If I'm dividing Igboland then by now I should be pushing my own sub-group agenda the same way Odenigboaroli does. And if everyone does that, then the fragile Igbo unity we hold dear will be torn to thread. I don't want such thing to happen, that is why I have continuously tried as much as possible to subdue this quiet but divisive agenda by some group of persons. Nobody says people should'nt appreciate their uniqueness. It's even a good thing when we showcase our diversity, because it helps us respect one another and find common grounds for understanding. But for the likes of Odenigboaroli and Chino, their agenda is sinister. The agenda of the Umueri clan has always been sinister. No matter how emotional they try to colour it, the Omanbala quest for what I have observed for 7 seven years now on nairaland isn't a cultural exposition nor cultural renaissance. It all boils down to two things 'SUPERIORITY' and 'ISOLATION'.
One, conceive ways to make yourself look different. Two, try to paint yourself as the progenitor of the Igbo race. Three, look down on other Igbo clans and forcefully push the Nri origin through their throats. Lastly and five, if the inferiors don't agree to your postulations then cunningly carve out an Omanbala identity on people within the Anambra axis, drag other clans in this state into your agenda, paint yourselves as first class Igbos and systematically isolate this pure bred group from others. Now, you have your Omanbala nation. Whether you want to believe it or not, this is the agenda some idiots are championing and this agenda will fail. In the past you hardly come across an Nnewi man nor an Idemili man, nor an Awka man champion superiority. Why would they do so when they know their history and when they understand that Igboland comprises of several clans and existed 4000 years before the coming of the Igala sojourners into our lands. But, these days you see a handful of my kins from there preaching the same nonsense as those from Omanbala area. All thanks to the sharing of the same state with the Umueri group, which has now infected many from those axis. I have vowed never to look the other way round nor keep quiet just because I don't want to rock the boat while trouble makers have a field day. If the Igbo nation must survive, and if we really want to chart one destiny together, then we must do away with the things that divides us and focus on the things that unites us more. And that includes first and foremost according every group that makes up the Igbo nation with RESPECT. This is the only way peoples interest can be protected in a future Igbo country.

OdenigboAroli:


Excuse me,why are you insulting me? What brought about these outburst? Did I in anyway offend anybody? I need you to explain this.

Abagworo:


Why do you turn blind eye to the nonsense written by Odenigbo et al? The truth is that "Igbo ma onwe ha". Most of those nonsense are being perpetuated by Chino and Odenigbo for political reasons and will only lead to division. Omambala is Igala origin and till this day some parts of Anambra East and West still speak Igala. We need no better proof than that.

Eastfield1:

that nonsense You wrote there abt being omanbala first before igbo and all that ur insults on Anioma
make me wonder what u people see Ndi Ebonyi as.
really, one will wonder if it is Ndi Onambala who shud be uniting the Igbo nation or divide it into pieces in d name of Having what other igbos don't have.
seriously
this Omambala Supreme_mist attitude is the reason Ndi are still where they are.
if this nonsense continue i may have to protect my peoples interest and open an internet channel and preach to my people to deny being igbo
and declare their own ethnic group.
after all every tribe have one or two things that make them feel special

Imagine a slave yapping nonsense. We don't want anything to do with you slaves but you idiots will not hear. We have not said there is no Igala people in Anambra north who are less than 2%, it is the beauty of diversity in Anambra and we like than being infiltrated by slaves.

The bitter truth is that Omanbala is the head Igbo race and Nri is founder and custodian of Igbo and culture. Whether you like call it igala just to downplay it's importance you are only fooling yourself, because at the end of the day an average slave from Imo state will still come and bow to an Omambala.

At the end of the day the slaves and outcasts knows his superiors and masters as seen below.

Delusion at its finest.
There's absolutely nothing superior about you.Don't get me started on why on public forum.

I didn't say so but what I know is that some people are outcasts and our slaves..do you have any problem with that?

Please can you get started already so we can do it together.


Pix- slave kneeling to his superiors and masters..

pazienza:


You are not making any sense. There are Igala communities in Anambra, and it's a known fact that they are Igala. How exactly that translates to Anambra being Igala and Igala speaking is a figment of your imagination.

Anambra and Nri remains undiluted Igbos, the quintessential qualities seen as Igbo today are emboldened in Anambra.

You are messing with the wrong people here.
