What do you intend to achieve with this ?

emmysoftyou:
Daddy..
I understand yu re tryin to make a point 4 nonentity to understand you,
but 4 d sake of my frend who is frm there,and he wil tell you boldly that my name is chibuzor frm ndokwa,i am igbo.
Even faze sang a song that his name is chibuzor orji frm delta state igbo,kwale precisely. {alburm independent}
So why wasting ur time 4 one faceless bomkom.

And pls,dont use the word they,it as generalising and embarrassing..
And be more diplomatic to consider others who said they re igbo dan one single unknown hungry entity here on NL.

I remain faithful to the entire igboland

kenex4ever:
I grew up n was born in ukwani so I can relate very well with dis topic (I am Igbo). The ukwanis do virtually everything igbos do ranging from music to culture, language. If u as ask me, I will say dey are not igbos since dey claim dey r not, but WHAT I HATE is when dey commit CRIME people should stop taking as an IGBO man's crime just because dey bear IGBO names. The most common one is CHUKWUMA KADUNA NZEOGU Till 2moro dey keep saying an igbo man committed d first COUP in Nigeria but non of these NDOKWA people has come out to claim dat he is not IGBO but anytime some one calls JJ Okocha an Igbo man (even though he was raised in enugu) Ndokwa people will b d first to remind u dat he is from DELTA state. So y d double standards? I don't blame dem 4 trying 2 b alone sha because when I was serving in kwara, I met some Yoruba speaking kogi indigines and dey told me dey r not yoruba even some Edo people too dat r similar to yoruba do dsame.

OneNaira6:


JJ Okocha is a proud, proud, beyond proud Igbo and nobody, not even ndokwa can tell you he is not. Everybody knows that family, especially his siblings. His brother is one of the biggest advocate for Igbo unity between anioma and SE. Nobody, absolutely Nobody would argue with you about their heritage. They are very well known, not just because of football.

Also, he's from ogwashi,not ndokwa so why would "ndokwa" argue with you about his origin. Everybody knows Igbo denials is beyond insignificant in Ogwashi.

WTF?

drnoel:


I understand ur grievances. Believe me I do. My wifey is from anioma while my dad is Igbo and my mum Yoruba. It's not all aniomas that hate igbos and u are right to say that. But believe me when I say this, Anioma people will never fight igbos. Even if some of them don't agree to be igbos and some don't even trust igbos. Literally fighting igbos would never happen cos many indigenes of anioma has relatives across the Niger (yes in Igboland). I stayed sometime there when I was making plans to wed my sweetheart and got to know the people. Bros, don't allow the stupidity of some igbo men annoy u.

PhenomenonVFX:


Guy u are too dumb. And u are a big fool. Statements like this is what will make all Anioma start antagonising u Igbos. Some of u faceless nitwits on naira land do not even know the meaning of diplomacy. It seems u Igbos never learn.
I am Anioma. I am not even Ukwuani. All around Anioma, u will find people who decide not to identify with Igbo because of people like u. We don't hate Igbo but people like u is why some of us distrust ur people. U are further perpetuating the legend of Igbo greed by claiming u want Ukwuani land. Even Aniomas who claim to be Igbo will start having reason to distrust u when they read ur comment.
If u try any nonsense with Ukwuani, be sure that all Anioma will stand together to fight against u. Trust me u will regret it. So shut the heck up and go learn how to think and talk boy. U have been warned.

Chiwude:
Who is this low life village champion coming out to antagonize Ndigbo. Must you shave your dirty armpit in public. Who made you Minister for Igbo affairs you dunce? Virtually all your comment about the Ukwuani's stinks of lunacy. Before you shoot your bullet on your fellow Igbos (Ukwuani inclusive) first ask yourself this question. Will my comment bring unity, or will it make matters worst? Dunce.

For posterity resaons ..it will not be fine if people distort history and facts

That's. What I intend to achieve with this

It will be wrong to call a bat a bird you know

Balkan:
you can type any rubbish you like. You know we are on faceless forum. I am too civilised to abuse anybody. I know ukwuani people more than you. I am married to an ukwuani wife her father told me they are not Igbo but his children bear Igbo name. I married from umukwata and I have been there. I have passed one river that has red color the call ogwumeshi. You can't tell me about the people I know. My in law told me they are Bini people. And I have severally told them they need to go back to their people in Edo state they land they are now occupying is Igbo territory and that's a fact. No apologies

Balkan:
you must be a kid any well, no need joining issues with you ukwuani and ndokwa people are insignificant. I don't care about them as a people. All I am interested is that land they are occupying it does not belong to them. It's Igbo territory by default.

And You Don't do that by misleading people with wrong details and facts.

U don't read english to pass a french exam u know

PhenomenonVFX:


U are an unrepentant recalcitrant nitwit. For the same reason u guys were chased out of Port Harcourt in the civil war and u couldn't even get ur own properties back. What makes u think u can take Ukwuani land. I bet u are also planning to take Ogwashi-uku and ika land too because all over these places people claim they are not Igbo. Get ready to take the whole of Delta state then. But trust me that hand u stretch will surely get cut.
U guys never learn. I keep saying it. You need to learn diplomacy and not dumb war rhetoric. It was what cost u the civil war. And it will cost u more this time.
Someone reading this thread now may turn out to be a leader in Anioma tomorrow and have to take sides but this thread will only remind him of the greed of Igbos and he will probably side against u in the best interest of his people. Remember many Anioma sons fought on the side of Biafra and even many more fought against it. The history is there. U can't threaten people into acknowledging their ties with u. U can only provide incentives that will persuade them to join u.
Seek wisdom. If at this ur age ur best strategy is that of a caveman then maybe u should not be speaking on the behalf of Igbos. U are embarrassing ur people and adding to the ever growing number of antagonists u have.

emmysoftyou:
broda yu ve spoken wel,pls take gud care of your swthart so dat they wil know igbo pple dönt joke with their wife and they know how to take care of woman when it coms to marriage.lolx

christopher123:



That's impressive ....can you please go to port and ask who owns the majority of property there and do you think igbos of them are igbos today ...I enjoy it when people antogibze me

It makes me feel important as I type from Europe now I have seen igbos doing great here and that is why I am proud

I quite understand the complexities in you . That of a failure to assimilate in a tribe that hates failure so as to be seen as a non member

We fought wars caused by your people yet you come here to talk none sense

We have bounced back and doing great

Can you travel to Igbo villages and compare it with ukwuani. That will be for starters

PhenomenonVFX:


U are not paying attention. No one is doing comparison of villages here. We are doing comparison of who has more to lose. People who own the land can still drive u out tomorrow.
It is in Igbo best interest to use diplomacy to bring all Igbo speaking tribes under one fold. Something the past leaders never did. They didnt carry most of the non Southeast Igbos along. It was a leadership failure on their part. We need unity and trust. And not threatening land grabbing as Balkan is doing. It was the same lack of unity and trust and diplomacy in the old eastern region that led to what u guys now call sabotage.
As a matter of fact, people like Balkan should not be given a voice whenever disagreement between Igbo speaking people arise because they will tear things down rather than build things up. We all know the Anambra vs IMO feud we see here.
Use ur head and understand my point. Stop the empty chest beating and reason!!!

Balkan:
i like Igbos everywhere and I want the unity of Igbos. But I hate the fake and inferior Igbo. It's a fact you know that all Igbos are not equally that you speak a dialect of Igbo does not make you pure Igbo breed. Ukwuani and Ndokwas are under that category. Am not talking of Anioma people. Animas can pass as pure Igbo but not all of them. Ukwuani and ndokwa people say they are not Igbo, why are we romancing them. I hate that

Deltagiant:


You need to understand when people make metaphorical statements. @Balkan was literally not talking of physical land grab but how Nde-Ukwuani must identify themselves, rightly or wrongly. Therefore, It was not about land grab because for example, the Nri (Nshi) people of Anambra would never lay claims to the land of Ogwanri(nshi)-Uku because an Nri priest founded the town. In the same manner the Nteje/Awka people in Anambra would not lay claims to Asaba land because their sons founded Asaba.

Western Igbos who fought against Biafra did so not because they didn’t believe they were Igbos. The officers said openly they were Igbos but had to do what they did on ideological reasons, whatever the excuse. Even at that, they were quite few officers, namely Fred Chijiuka, Cyril Iweze and Alabi Isama (Abdul Rahman) whose father was actually a Fulani-Ilorin man. He is paternally not an Igbo man.

On the other hand, proud western Igbos fought to defend their people (Biafra). Their numbers can not be complete without mentioning a few of them like Rear Admiral Anukwu who was the first Biafran Naval Chief of Staff (Boji-Boji Agbor), Col. Emma Nzefili (Ukwuani), Col. Phillip Trimnel (Aboh), Brigadier Gen. Conrad Nwawo (Onitsha Ugbo), Col. Okwechime (Igbuzor), Brig. Gen Joseph Achuzia (Asaba), Col. Igboba (Igbuzor), Bernard Odogwu, Chief of Biafran Intelligence (Asaba) etc..

That being the case, there were also a few eastern Igbos who helped Nigeria to frustrate Biafra, Ukpabi Asika, C.C Mojekwu , Ike Nwachukwu etc.

Above all these, your ethnic tie is whom you are and that was what inspired the noble men to fight for Biafra. It is only a bast..ard that points to his father’s compound with his left hand. And as such may require “incentives” to identify with members of his own family. At the end of the day, it is the mother South-East region that is always at the receiving end of the stick as regards who accepts or denies being Igbo east or west of the Niger.

This is so because the Yoruba, Hausas, Isoko, Urhobo, Ibibio, Efik, Ijaw and the rest of Nigeria would never accept that an Awka man and Ukwuani are two different ethnic groups. They have always insisted that the two must not have two political shares but one in Nigeria. They reiterated this belief when Peter Odili wanted to usurpe what they thought was their own turn in the south south. Hence the emergence of GEJ. Nuff said.

Another dumb statement by another nitwit from the east.
What do u mean by pure Igbo?
Since u have ascribed to urself the title of pure Igbo, why are u so pained the impure Igbos are denying they are Igbo?
Why should they remain impure Igbo when they can be pure Aniocha or pure Ika or pure Oshimili or pure Ukwuani?
LMAO. Good luck with ur Biafra. It will forever remain a struggle for pure Igbo halfwits from the east. No one west of the Niger can take u Easterners seriously. Not with people like u as advocates.

Balkan:
what tribe are you if may ask? Why are you so worried. I told you that ukwuani and ndokwa people say they are not Igbo, are going to force them. They might be right that they emigrated from Bini. That they speak Igbo does not make them pure Igbo. Understand my friend we don't need to quarrel about this.

drnoel:


Pls what is this pure and pure igbo?

pazienza:
What makes an Igbo man pure is not his location, it's his mindset. An Ogidi man from Anambra not proud of his Igbo heritage is fake Igbo. But an Ndoki man from far away Akwa ibom who takes pride in,and reveres in his Igbo heritage is a pure Igbo man.

You can't decide whether you are Igbo or not, that already had been decided before you were born. But you can decide to be a pure Igbo man, or get stained by inferiority complex and identity crisis, and become rightly tagged a fake Igbo man. *grins*
