Woman Whose Fingers Were Cut-off by Herdsmen in Aba (Photos)

OMANBALA1:


If feel disrespected with your flavour nabania's Ijele remark...Who doesnt know that was a fake title he made up. Please, this is bigger than flavour. Umunze,however live on the fringe you not expect them to be rooted in Omanbala culture than say Abagana. This is common sense.

Pazie, you haven't achieved much with your Igbo agenda but this Omanbala phenomenon is like a wild fire. Everyone Anambra person is loving it because it breeds unity, togetherness and brotherhood. Alot of influencers on social media are spreading it. You are alone!!

We'll discuss that when you clock 18. I Don't do minors.

pazienza:


Umunze have a history tracing their origin to present day Ohafia area. Same with Isuochi, Umuchieze , Nneato and surrounding areas in Imo and Abia.
They all have history of origin tracing them back to the far Eastern part of present Igboland, close to our borders with the Akwa Ibom groups. Yet the name of their progenitor was "Nze". You can see how extensive the word Nze is Igboland? It wasn't invented by the Nri like some people think. Also notice that Nze( Umunze progenitor) wife was named Lolo , surprised, right?

Additionally, I recently read Agbor history by EA Iduwe and he talked about the cult of Agbalanze that was instituted by Ogele (Agbor Patriarch) in the early formative years of Agbor), and for your info, Agbor doesn't recognize Nri influence.

So that's two Nze from far East and far west of Igbo speaking realm.

All creation of artificial identities like Anioma, Omambala etc are going to do in Igboland would be to deliberately bury every minute detail that could link the newly created artificial identities to the larger Igbo body and magnification of minute things that separates the artificial construct from the rest of Ndiigbo outside the new artificial identity.
This would in turn make it near impossible for us to ever come close to solving the Igbo missing puzzle and unravelling how we all related and dispersed to current locations.

I would agree with you on most things, but you see this your Omambala agenda, it will have to stay confined to Anambra East, Anambra West and Oyi, where it rightfully belongs. Any attempt to expand it beyond those borders would be met with resistance.



I apologize if you feel slighted by my Ijele comments about Flavour. I meant no harm, you are a person I might sometimes disagree with, but would always respect.

FortuneDeGreat:
Rather it's your people who doesn't have a clear definition of their origin that should be very ashamed of themselves.

I won't bother to illuminate your dark mind of ignorance on Umunri history, just keep floating on and forth with your ignorance which is very typical of your people.

Irredeemable illiterates and loud mouthed empty vessels -Umuoji. Tufiakwa

Yujin:

Now this is over the board. You can still pass your message across without insults and mockery. Umuoji by anaoma. Ka udo Chia!

Yujin:

You are the clueless one. Pazienza is 100% correct. There's nothing like Anambra culture anything short of Pan-Igbo association, you are entirely on your own. A lot of groups from Southern Anambra have quite distinct customs and idiosyncrasies from those from the Omambala areas. Stop dividing Ndigbo with a puerile superiority complex. Ndigbo though with divers origins are today a homogeneous people. Anything outside that you are on your own.

Yujin:

Nna, you always have my respect. The Nze cult is actually an old one that's found almost all over Igboland. Some retained it while others did away with it but local names attests to its existence there. Umunze where I hail from is one of such and I've seen another Umunze somewhere around Abia but it seemed a clan name rather than a community or town. Our former Igwe as I heard once responded to the question of us not having the Ozo titleship by telling them that being the Children of an Nze already placed us above Ozo title holders. You see how customs change from area to area among our republican people. This same thing I believe is the reason behind our lack of Kings in most communities of old.
I want to ask you a question which is a little off this topic. Do you know extent of Obi Ossai's authority in the old Ukwuani territory? I'm surprised a lot of present day Ukwuanis don't know about him.

Ttrrffyyghuuh:


Its simple, just like Onitsha people, they're called Igbo when favors are required of them, but when it's time for political appointments or juicy contracts, they're reminded that they're not pure/ real Igbo's, It's just like the Egun people of Lagos that have been sidelined and the yorubas.

I have Igbo friends (liberal though) and love the Igbo people for their industrious nature, but they tend to be very tribalist, especially the conservative ones, you've seen the case of a even catholics rejecting an archbishop, because he's not mbaise, even the vatican had to intervene,
whereas, in uniben, they've had an Igbo VC, Prof. Emmanuel Nwanze, not benin, but completely different tribe, you can't try that in any eatern institution be it federal or state and even religious as i stated above

OMANBALA1:


Dont start a conversation with insults ,if you want to have a civil discussion. Now ,you can point out the distinction or better not say a thing. Ihiala, is one of the southern towns in Anambra but they have the Ozo system. However, according to you ,your king said you dont have it but just for the single reason that your name starts with Nze makes you superior over those thats practices it....Onwero ife Nwa Okodu ama anu! Does this even make sense to you??

Now, how am I dividing Ndigbo ? Please, answer that question. How ?
When Enugu state government after state creation sacked all Anambra state workers were was Igbo unity?? When Abia was sacking civil servants not from Abia where was Igbo unity?? When Jim Nwobodo sabotaged Alex Ekwueme Presidential aspiration where was Igbo unity?? When Rochas betrayed Peter Obi and insulted Anambra state government where was Igbo unity When Obiano hosted burial ceremony for all the fallen Biafran soldiers and not a single south east governor showed up where was Igbo unity??

Oga, go through my post history and respectfully respect yourself. I dont have time for your failed Igbo agenda but I am from Anambra through and through and I will defend and fight for advancement of my fathers land and culture.

For the fact you dont have Nze na Ozo is not the end of the world. Be proud of who you are and stop telling stupidd lies like somegirl and mbos. Igbo is not homogeneous and can never be because there are part of Igbo land that eat python snake and the true Anambra people with the pure culture will not dine with such people. You lots cant break what we are building in Anambra, you will die before you achieve that!

Now, go put on some costumes and dance Nkpokiti...I like Atilogwu!

OMANBALA1:



This post is both funny and embarrassing.
Oga, just say you don't have it because you are migrants...lol. It's not a big deal

Yujin:

You're quite funny Bro Priest. I've known you for long on Nairaland and you still remains myopic. Your greatest cultural aim is a monolithic Anambra while mine and other visionaries have ours in the great Igbo nation. You are not different from the clueless government of those states you mentioned earlier who acted stupidly in dismissing Igbos from government jobs in Igboland. Your goal in trying to segregate and propagate a superior Anambra is driving a wedge in our wheel of oneness. This you have consistently failed to see. Ojukwu of blessed memory was a very wise man. He lived all his life in Enugwu despite being from Anambra. Do you know why he did so? Guys like you that brag with their states fail to see that they can't grow with such mindset. As for me, as long as my feet is on any part of Igboland, I see it as home.
As for calling Umunze migrants, I laugh at your ignorance. All parts of Anambra have people who came from other parts of Igboland to settle in their midst. The Awka people have Ama-obia. Aro settlers litter Southern Anambra.The omambala area have Igala invaders yet today we are all Igbos. This is what you fail to understand. Cultural infuences happen everywhere and it's a two way thing. When Anambra state was being created no special criteria was used but as the state emerged, her constituent communities started gravitating towards a common identity with additions and subtraction of customs, nothing more.
As for eating Eke, we do proudly eat them same as Awka people would do to any python that goes beyond her border. Some parts of Umunze weren't eating them in the days of old as I was told but after some events, we as a community decide they were worthy of consumption and that's our stand till date. Speak of what you know.
For Nkpokiti, I'm always ready. Come join me during our Ihejioku. O ga di kpokpo.

OMANBALA1:


I will come back and address this post adequately but let me clear one this....
Awka DO NOT EAT EKE! We have them here and I will bring it to their attention!

HisSexcellency:

People like you dont learn. Really, no man is a fountain of knowledge, history gets distorted as it's passed down from people to people due to prejudice and personal understanding/agenda.

All you have been doing on this thread is claim "all-knowing" with respect to igbo culture and tradition in anambra. Attacking anyone who disagree with you doesn't make you right, don't forget tgis is a social media filled with users you have never met or know nothing about.
Be open minded and objective, we all seeking same thing which is the unity and progress og ndigbo irrespective of state of origin.

FortuneDeGreat:
Leave that omanbala of a guy, don't you know where he's from, one of the lousiest and uneducated community in Igbo land, they don't learn even in their deep ignorance they'll always claim to know it all.
Trying to direct him aright would be a mere waste of time.

Wait...Onitsha people are not regarded as real igbos?Wow, I'm just hearing this..

Atigba:


The Onitsha people are from our land

The land of Ogodomigodo

NobleAngell:
Oh i see.

Atigba:


Yea... we have alot of our clam that reside in the east

The Oguta people in Imo state are from our land
Almost all tge tribes in the Niger Delta are from our land including the Ikwerres.

Anambra is a homogeneous and unique race. We are like no other. The average Anambra indigene sees himself as Anambra first before Igbo.

OMANBALA1:


Well, you are yet to prove that, neither are they with all their education and exposure. I wonder why.

Atigba:


We called them idu, ask any of them what their ancestors told them.

OMANBALA1:


Their ancestors are Igbo through and through, while you are Bini. They claim he was Bini Prince but history says otherwise. Except if Bini people were originally Igbos.

Who is bini, there is nothing like bini in our land

The people that called themselves binis now are not bini
The so called Benin is part of the land of Ogodomigodo which the onitsha people and Oguta people are part of
Even the so called Igbo
