Oh! My dear abiriba in Ohafia LGA.

Abia State are lucky to have you in their state, because if not for the existence of Ohafia and Ngwa in Abia state, Abia would have ended up as a 3rd class Igbo state like Ebonyi!

I keep telling people the racism among Igbos themselves is legend. An Onitsha man will still say same about this Abriba bigot. That's why we can never rule Nigeria.

Your are more chronic liar . With Aba Abia state can't be 3rd Class state. There are bad roads everywhere. There are plenty of bad roads in Lagos and Ogun state. Moreover the most busiest interstate route is Aba to Lagos.
So and eat so that your brain will have some energy to power it.

Abiriba, Ohafia and Nkporo makes up Ohafia LGA. But they are not the same. They have similar culture and even dialect but not the same.

Ebonyi you insult is doing stratospherically better in terms of governance, infrastructure, anti-corruption, etc than Abia State.
Unless you want to deceive yourself, you should know this is true.
And hey, I am not even from Ebonyi State.

Do you know how many years all state in SE take senior Ebonyi state? Ebonyi is one of the recent state created in Nigeria by Abacha. And you want it to be like London overnight. Anyway, the good news is that the state is in the right tracks and is developing at the speed of light... Btw, you are a disgrace to Ndigbo... that is if truly you are an Igbo woman

You are not far from the truth. I was in a company of friends somewhere, a mix of Yoruba, igbo and urhobo and one igbo lady from owerre made a derogatory statement against the ebonyians claiming that they are not igbos. So when I asked her why she said that their language is difficult to understand then I reminded her that owerri, mbaise and few others from imo are also difficult to understand. Then I asked her, if they aren't igbos also and she was ashamed

All humans were cannibals at one point in history.

They usually eat their enemies during war, not as part of nutrition.
