Listen carefully and pay attention to my words I try to keep this as simple as I can I know you have difficult with comprehension especially things beyond your limited mental faculty There is no tribe called Nsuuka in Delta what they have is USISA or did u mean the Nsuuka in igboland. I am not here to have a language battle but to clear ur misconceptions and ridiculous grouping of distinct tribes has one with the igbo race and if u have nothing important to say then I advise you to keep ur irrational opinion to yourself. I na NZUZU which means u are a fool.

This is not anything nearer to Igbo language.

That means you speak two languages or three..

Who do u think u are coming for me big mistake kid.
For the record i speak both igbo and ukwani that doesn't make me igbo i just learnt them.
First of their origin is different from igbos, they didn't participate during the Biafra war they never considered them self one of u and they never where even part of the east they where considered a mid western state and their manner of dressing is a bit different and their cuisine to are different.
I find your "ideology" barbaric as you are so quick to forget that before there was Nigeria or region, there was TRIBE. Stop thinking so mediocre and believing there is a sense of commonality between Igbo and Ukwani. You think just like the cultural naive white men. I understand why you are inseure about being igbo because you guys have no oil money but are good at land grabbing and punishing innocent widows and lacking good family support from family members. Ukwani respect women especially widow which yours doesn't. Your tribe promote misogyny, toxic musicality, pretentious communism, war ( biafran war), cultural illiteracy, greed and unpatriotic nature towards Nigeria as a whole.

when does participating in Biafran war become a yardstick in knowing who's Igbo or not? When a real enemy talks we will know. Are you sure you really know anywhere called Ukwani?

Among all the tribes in Nigeria Igbo is the one that respect and care for women the most. I can see that you are being deceived by what you watch on Nigerian movie. We have a good system for settling of dispute and our culture does not allow injustice. We show care, respect and kindness to widows to the extent that the rich ones among us train their children, build houses for them and place some of them on payroll. Even our governors and wives build houses for them which I've not heard anything like that coming from your place.

Igbos are this, igbos are that, but still we are better than you, we help ourselves, we have better culture and value that encourage progress, we are more educated and civilised than you, our zone has been certified as the least crime zone (according to the Nigeria beaureu of statistics), you hardly hear of individual and communial clashes because we have a better system for settling of dispute, we are not envious and jealous of success and progress that is why we have industries even in our kindreds once you are successful we celebrate you and see you as a role model and encourage you to attract industry to our community so as to develop it and encourage our youths to be more hardworking, virtually every community in Igboland has super rich men and women. We don't kill our successful men and women like other Nigerians that is why our land is more developed even without proper government attention. We travel home every Xmas and no shaking, but if you are successful just pay a 2day visit to your home, integrate fully with your rural people like Igbos, share drinks and kolanut with them and see if you will come back alive.

U do realise that i said more than not participating in Biafra war is not the only reason i wrote down and i know it is not only igbo that were part of Biafra but they were the majorly involved and the leader of this Biafra was an igbo guy.
Uh and for the record i don't watch Nigeria films and u claim to care for ur women but let me ask u wat do u do to widows cause the hair shaving and other acts is how u care for ur women.
If u are more educated and civilized then why were u people naked before the whitemen and because u made the world fastest computer u think that's it. U said u have low crime rate when u people do alot of money ritual and didnt they like arrest over 200 Yahoo boys abroad so yeah that happened.
