Truth be told,imo see abia as their brother n neighbour n see anambra with enugu as dsame though anambra love feeling superior even when it was created from enugu,but ebonyi is just like northerners,even their way of thinking sometimes i think they should be shared among the northerners

. hatred is the reason for tribalism and racism and xenophobic attacks meaning it's everywhere so people personalizing it is awkward.

In my opinion, THIS IS A MEANINGLESS TOPIC.

When South East is mentioned, ALL the states ARE recognized. Abia state has NEVER been in the background. It is very popular. Ebonyi on the other hand might be least mentioned because it is a very quiet state.

The fact that a few singers mentioned the places they recollect/have relations living in does NoT mean the others are not important. How on earth do a few singers become the people's mouthpiece? It's their song.

Op, I've noticed that most I ibos from three states u mentioned feels superior to the ones from the other two, xpecially the ebonyian, they don't see them as fellow ibos.
Btw Op, are from abia or ebonyi?
EBONYI

It has nothing to do with the Igbos. It's like that every where even in America and the UK. In America there are states that are almost forgotten by others. In the UK the English see the Scots as inferior. The whites see black as animals. Israelites are despised. The Oyo man sees the Ijebu man as nonsense. The Igbo man sees aboki as a perpetual fool and aboki sees him as a thief and ritualist. The Igbo man sees the Yoruba man as a patholigical coward and traitor guess aboki believes that as well. The Yoruba man sees the Igbo man as dangerous and a liar. Even at family levels siblings disciminate one another depending on endowments perceived or real. Even in Ebonyi the Izza man sees the Ubulu man as subhuman. It goes on and on and it can never go away. I think humans use that as a source of distraction and a vent to live's frustrations and boredom! So please folks don't take it personally cos everyone is guilty of that one way or another!

Can u emperically prove what u said.
U think u can influence the world, from ur forest enclave tru nairaland, u are dreaming. U are wasting ur creative energy and time. The more u try, the more igbo people love them selve.
TA orji is the worst governor on earth, he doesnt represent igbo. Every community have their own imbesile.

Talking abt regions, those people wiping out entire communities in north and platur state are showing love to them abi.
You are not smart at alll....
keep giving urself sleepless night cos of igbos, u will kill ur self igbos will still be prospering.

Im proudly igbo, and we dont hate each other. So stop dreaming....

Not true. I recently saw the movie "Ada Abakiliki". I understand most of the conversations. You should check it out.
I was quite surprised as I expected to have to depend pn the subtitles.
When you said not true, I was expecting to see some reasonable objection only for me to see the term "when I saw a movie". I doubt if you've ever been to Ebonyi state before.

Re: Why Are These Two Igbo States Hated??? by madjune(m): 3:31pm On Apr 29, 2015
Its because Aba is too dirty and noisy while Ebonyi is so backward and speak chinese igbo language.

I don't think the two states are hated, I think it's because they are not doing much to stand out at least ebonyi isn't. Abia is known for Aba and for their agriculture but the fact they keep electing terrible leaders is why they side-lined to the back. Most Igbos are aware that Abians are more technological advanced than the rest. You can give an Abia man anything and he can replicate it for you to the T no matter how difficult. It's their leaders that side-lined them to the back. As for Ebonyi, there's nothing they doing that stands out. The only thing they are known for is that most Igbo Muslims are from that state. In igboland, you have to stand out to be talked about. Sadly, they don't stand out and that's why they are side-lined I highly doubt any igbo person hates Abia and Ebonyi

you can't possibly say that ebonyi state dont stand out... in agriculture as a whole they do... just that they need to sit up . where do u think the local rice come from? na ebonyi na.

Imo and Anambra are the original Igbo state names
Enugu is the capital of Igbo land
Abia and Ebonyi are relatively new names in our consciousness
I still speak in old Imo state and in my subconscious Enugu is still the capital of anambra state.

Why on earth would this be seen among igbo race??


I have listen severally to igbo songs.. Which Whenever they to talk about igbo people, they will only mention ANAMBRA, IMO and ENUGU... Am



The worst part is the Gospel singers are also doing the same.... You will be listening to igbo gospel music , they will be praying to God ""Gozierem ndi onitsha, Gozierem ndi IMO, ENUGU na ANAMBRA state nine" "

WHY are they disregarding us ===EBONYI and ABIA


HAVENT WE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IGBO RACE
i dont know the year the songs you listened to were released. But before the creation of 3 additionl states of Abia, Ebonyi & Enugu, south east used to be just 2states. Which are Anambra (with Enugu as capital) & Imo (owerri as capital). Ebonyi is carved out of Abia & Enugu state.
So i think in people‘s subconscious mind they still see just Imo & Anambra because this is where all the five states came out from. Just as it is with NEPA. Because 10years after NEPA became PHCN people still call it NEPA. Even my daughter that is a year & 5months also calls it NEPA.

NO STATE IS NEGLATED IT IS A CONSCIOUSNESS THINGS

Strife and betrayal are 2 different things. Two very different accusations.
So, mention a neighbouring group we've had clashes with, in ages past and in recent times.

Many of us haven't been so the reason you stated cannot be applicable to all non-Ebonyi Igbos.

You do realize most of this movie stars are usually scattered around and not necessary from the state in question. Also many are expected to speak central igbo. If you want to hear an Ebonyi person speak, you should Google living in bondage, that really old igbo movie, one of the actors in the 2nd movie is from Ebonyi state. I swear you could barely barely understand his igbo. I honestly couldn't figure out how his coworkers could. Their igbo is rather difficult to understand. But it's not just them, Imo and Abia indigenous igbo is equally difficult to understand especially imo people.

Deaddd
This killed me

@post, Igbo bu Igbo
Simple
Only about 3 people on this NL do the superiority thing....which really does not matter at all
Being proud of where we come from is good, but being big-headed and ethnocentric about is awful
So let us learn to ignore posts that do not do Igbo well/good at all
