So you guys have not ended this decade long argument of who and who is igbo. Alot of time spent on these arguments will not make your states better.

ChinenyeN:
Thank you, Puritan. Please, I do hope all your future responses to me are as brief and as empty as this going forward. It would be a shame for us to continue wasting bandwidth, when all you need to do is convey this resolve and keep..it..moving.

Continue talking to yourself with languages of lesser mortal.

[s]Finally. Some peace. I like this comment. Please, let us keep it this way. As we say in Ngwa, kohnuwa lia hnukwa.[/s]

MelesZenawi:
Such words doesn't exist.

Lool Anambraphobia? Please. Yes, I have little to no respect for nationalistic, propagandist Igbo, and Anambra contributes the most toward nationalistic, propagandist Igbo, but aside from that I have no problem with actual Anambra itself. My only issue is when nationalistic, propagandist Anambra try to overstep and call me a descendant of that uninspiring name "Eri". . We have no association with that individual or his descendants.

My real annoyance is when disgusting Igbo people like you, Pazienza, try everything you can to write a propagandist history of your new colonial-based identity and then attempt to rob everyone else of agency for the sake of said new colonial-based identity. My problem is that this discussion of "who is and isn't Igbo" SHOULD HAVE BEEN SQUASHED YEARS AGO, so that we in the SE could have moved forward with addressing more relevant issues. But nooo, nationalists and propagandists like yourselves just cannot let go, for the sake of your Christian God.

pazienza:
After all meandering, you only ended supporting my Anambra phobia theory about you.

You need to get over it. Not all of in Anambra even believe in Eri theory. Give it a rest already.

True or false?

The Government of Jersey, the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Government of the United States of America have entered into an Asset Recovery Agreement to repatriate over US$308 million of forfeited assets to Nigeria.

This was contained in a press statement published on the website of US Embassy and Consulate in Nigeria on Tuesday.

The funds were laundered through the US banking system and then held in bank accounts in Jersey in the name of Doraville Properties Corporation, a BVI company, and in the name of the son of the former Head of State of Nigeria, General Sani Abacha.

In 2014 a U.S. Federal Court in Washington DC forfeited the money as property involved in the illicit laundering of the proceeds of corruption arising in Nigeria during the period from 1993 to 1998 when General Abacha was Head of State.

This case is a result of extensive co-operation between the Jersey authorities, the Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section of the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, with crucial assistance from other governments around the world.

At the time the case was filed as part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative in 2013, it was the largest U.S. kleptocracy forfeiture action ever commenced.

In 2014 the Attorney General of Jersey applied for, and was granted, a Property Restraint Order over the Jersey bank account balance of Doraville.

This was challenged in the Royal Court of Jersey and Court of Appeal, and an application for permission to appeal to the Privy Council by Doraville was refused. France and the United Kingdom restrained additional funds at U.S. request.

General Abacha and his associates stole and laundered many hundreds of millions of dollars of public money during his military regime, doing vast harm to the futures of Nigerians.

The monies were laundered by his family, including his sons Ibrahim and Mohammed, and a number of close associates.

The laundering operation extended to the United States and European jurisdictions such as the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Luxembourg.

In 2018, Governments of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, United States of America and the Bailiwick of Jersey commenced the negotiation of the procedures for the repatriation, transfer, disposition and management of the assets.

The tripartite agreement signed this week represents a major watershed in international cooperation in asset recovery and repatriation, and will provide benefit to people throughout Nigeria.

The projects on which the funds will be expended will be administered by the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority and independently audited.

The Federal Republic of Nigeria will establish a Monitoring Team to oversee the implementation of the projects and to report regularly on progress.

The Nigerian government, in consultation with the other Parties, will also engage Civil Society Organisations, who have expertise in substantial infrastructure projects, civil engineering, anti-corruption compliance, anti-human trafficking compliance, and procurement to provide additional monitoring and oversight.

Loooool. "Okay Sa". We have heard.

MelesZenawi:
Better.

ChinenyeN:
So, that is your definition of phobia? Lol. We spent years dismantling lies from Anambra propandists and that is what you define as a phobia? Alright. Jirima 'a.

Which Anambra propagandists do you speak of?
You are really more lost than I earlier assumed.

I nago nko, nwanne.

**grins** owhnoghowhno nwhnogha.

MelesZenawi:
Another lies and propaganda.

No such thing happen.

People like Eze Dick doesn't even understand the reason he was made a king.

ChinenyeN:
Hm? Nye ndito igbara m whne na ahnu waa? This is weird.

ChinenyeN:
Lool you were one of the single-ancestor/Eri-descendant champions until recently AND you are an Igbo propagandist. You are part of the people I am referring to. Looooooooooool.

pazienza:
You are fighting your shadows.
I always knew better to believe the senseless story of a big and diverse group like Ndiigbo are decendands of a certain Eri.

Nobody who has spent time studying the history and origin stories of all Igbo sub groups would even accept that funny Eri story.

I doubt Chinua Achebe ever did. He was well traveled within Igboland and knew better. Eri/Nri are just a branch of the Igbo big tree.

ChinenyeN:
Lol. I am even commending your for growing maybe an ounce in your understanding over the past decade.

Your myopia has never allowed you to see clearly.
You are probably pleased now because you think I am on your anti Eri/Nri agenda, when in truth, I am not.
I am and have always been pro Igbo. And I see all parts of Igboland as a branch of the Igbo trunk.
I have always stood against elevation of any Igbo branch as the Igbo root, because I always knew that doing so would deny us the opportunity of ever finding our common root.

You are the one who have refused to outgrow your clannish sentiments. You have for a decade proved impervious to the truth, always in haste to advance your clannish fantasies. You are not different from the Eri/Nri propagandists you malign. You are both cut from the same cloth.
Look at how you have insisted on writing your Ngwa with non conventional Igbo writing style (Onwu alphabets), making it impossible for you to communicate with the rest of us.
