Well, that's insulting, Ngwa could probably fit 20 Nnewi's into it with space left. The land size is quite big, big enough to be a state.

Map is here:

Ngwaland is not big enough to be a state. These Ngwa! angry My Aro ancestors knew what they were doing when they attacked Ngwaland.

ChinenyeN,

You seem to be Igbos weakest link on NL. You always go against the majority of the Igbos on NL concerning a united Igboland. You try to divide us and act like your small clan is its own group. And other groups use your words to attack us.
WORD.

Why not? How big is Enugu compared to that map? Ngwa is half the size of Abia.

So when I exhibit the quality of an Igbo (easily speaking my mind), I am considered as a usurper of Igbo unity on NL. . . Okay. I'll just allow my post history here on Nairaland to do the talking for me on this one. . . as if I've ever stood in the way of any Igbo unity here.

. . . and this one begins. Any wonder why we sided with the British against you people. . .

I'll say you are wrong on that! That map in the link you showed proves nothing about your claims.

I bet you a lot of folks don't know how big Nnewi is.

Nnewi has four towns inside it (big enough to be separate towns). We are just united because we love our town.

Nnewi is the biggest town in Anambra state in terms of landmass.

So there is no way Ngwaland is that bigger, even if bigger. undecided

That who map is not even ngwa, If you'd pay attention and looked closely you would see Ngwa Region being outlined. It is really small. It can NEVERA!!!!! fit 20 NNewis.Not even in your dreams. cool
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by Onlytruth(m): 7:51pm On Aug 20, 2010
Heck, I can take out the map of my town and blow it up for more visibility in the background of surrounding towns. It doesn't prove its true size.

That is a lie. What about Omuma, Asa, Ndoki, Ika, Okun & Ofaha, Otoro, Isuogu and Ukana? Ngwaland is not the entire southern half of Abia.

Stop it now! I never heard of an Ngwa say that he is not Igbo. Now they may want Aba State, but they never say they are not Igbo. The Ngwa will always be part of Abia State. To be honest, I wish Abia was a part of Imo.

Where did I ever say I wasn't Igbo? Now I'm just confused.

Here's something I can agree with you on. Something that old Aba division insisted on, while old Bende gladly welcomed the idea of 'Abia State'.

No, show me a map, there's no way Nnewi is even half Ngwa's size. What other town's is it made up of?

ChinenyeN is not to be taken seriously. He has never been to Igboland. He has not even been to his village so why should any Igbo listen to him.

I still find it strange that at his age, he hasn't been to Igboland.

I have one question for you: Have you been to Nnewi before? If Yes, have you been to all its four parts: Otolo, Uruagu, Nnewi-ichi, and Umudim?

I grew up in Onitsha and was thinking that Onitsha was big until I navigated my town. It is bigger by far.

If not that we don't do this autonomous community bull$h1t, there would have been four towns carved out of Nnewi. Gov Chris Ngige flirted with the idea, but was warned to stay away.
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by EzeUche22(m): 8:03pm On Aug 20, 2010

Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by EzeUche22(m): 8:13pm On Aug 20, 2010
ChinenyeN,

Really? Are you really asking that question? I do not like you, because you are clannish. You add ammunition to the enemies of the Igbo. You cause disunity. No one cares if you are Ngwa. You are still Igbo. (Your people came down from Owerri) And to make matter worse, you are trying to carve up Abia State.
Re: The True Extent Of Alaigbo (Igboland) by ChinenyeN(m): 8:18pm On Aug 20, 2010
Haha, you don't like me because I'm loyal to Ngwa? How do I add ammunition to "enemies"? Where have I caused disunity? That Abia state na separate issue. haha.

So why does my loyalty to Ngwa bother you?

You're from old Bende district? And that's cool if you all want Abia. grin We Ngwa were hoping to leave it to you all, when they wanted to create it. It wasn't our intention to be part of Abia. Instead we wanted to remain in Imo. I have no qualms leaving Abia to una.
