Lol. . . it has nothing to do with vio vio. It is actually as soft as beans or rice when it cooked but it takes forever (like 5 hrs. or more). Some Igbo people do eat without drinking water, that is why they sh.i.t rocks and you can smash windows with their poop. They have so many fancy names like "gbajie mkpilisi nku" (break firewood).

udezue:


EzeUche, what part of Arochukwu you hail from?

Odunnu:

I am not Ibo but i'm crazy about them,they'v hosted me for close to 7yrs of my life and I can represent them very well.
@Poster, the Okonkwo family of Ogbunike (not Ogbonike) is well known. Bishop Okonkwo, Dr Okonkwo. . .quite a number of them.
You should get to meet 'Ogidiboy' bcz Ogidi and Ogbunike are brothers.

asha 2:

i thought you once said you are from abia state?

Chiki Chik:

I am from Ekwulobia in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra state.

Vio vio a.k.a agbugbu   That stuff is like cooking rocks and limestone. Takes forever but tastes good when prepared with "ji ocha'' (white yam) and fresh palm oil. There's this stereotype that Awka people are a bunch of hooligans and no-good lose canons. That's unfounded, like like any other stereotype because I lived in Awka for about 11 yrs. The monkeys in Awka are a sight to behold and I must say they are very cute and interesting creatures. It was fun watching them swing and jump all over the place, same way the squirrels roam Jew York. I do hope people have not started making pepper soup with the monkeys because I will not take it lightly

The worst time to be in Awka is during the Imo Awka festival. That is when all the despicable hooligans and dubious characters in Awka (like that ugly coconut head "Owa Ashi" or "Nwa Guy" come out to harass people.

I am from Oko in Anambra State. I know ogbunike Cave very well as we went there for Excursion during my days in FGC Nise. It's always a good feeling to meet up with Igbo folks. Igbo Kwenu!!!!

Freewilly:

Re: What Part Of Igboland Are You From.

Arysexy:


Nne leave those people that want to derail your thread. I'm from Anambra state, Awka to be precise. . . . I know Ogbunike very well. It is the home town of Chuba Okadigbo, the Oyi of Oyi.


wow, my 2 brodas are here matalgong and udezue, ibe anyi awka kedu ka unu melu? well am from amachalla amenyi awka. @ graffikdon u seems to know awka inside out. u r right we do not eat monkeys, its actually a sacrilege to kill them cos history has it that awka monkeys foilled many attacks on awka by some neighbouring towns in the olden days by revealing to awka ppl that attacks are imminent, this helped awka to get prepared and face the attackers.
vio vio is really nutritional but it takes time to cook, eat vio vio in the morning and u r done with food the whole day, all u need do is get a bottled water near cos u will keep drinking throughout the day.

Imoka as graffikdon said is a festival celebrated by awka ppl to mark their victorious war escapades, though it has turn out to be a day hooligans and unizik student cultists settle their scores, nowadays imoka festival claim lives unlike before.

Awka is really blessed with notable Nigerians like late Prof Kenneth dike, the first nigerian vice chancellor who was recently honoured by president jonathan among the 50 natable Nigerians, also Barrister Amanke Okafor of amudo awka ia an illustrious son of Awka, he wrote so many books about Awka ppl, senator Ben Ndi Obi is also from Awka and many more, some of the hooliganism being ascribed to awka ppl are not actually traced to them cos awka being the capital of anambra has so many non-indigenes living and doing business there.

Ibe anyi ndu no na ezi, anya lukwee unu uno, maka na onye no nuno nooolu onye no na ezi. Awka kweeeeenu! ya! Anambra kweeeeenu! ya! Igbo kwezuooooooooooonu o! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
