FreedomArmy:Now you are talking.why the fake news only on igbos?.. you talked about bad roads & infrastructure in the east? the three tier of government should share the blame for bad road & infrastructure in the east.how many states & lg owned roads in the east are good?we should learn to hold our leaders in Alaigbo responsible for this decay.you talked about rail project?All our senators except Abaribe are not doing enough in this regard.. remember we have ministers, senators,hor members, state govnors, state assembly members yet, our roads & infrastructures remains very bad.we must not blame the fg on every matter in Alaigbo..ALL OF THEM INCLUDING THE,FG,SG& THE LG ARE FAILURES.. back to the main issue.WHY THE ANTI IGBO THREAD?..WHY ARE WE ALWAYS ON THE NEWS? |

VOICEofORIENTAL: So if the proverb is true, how come the whole Fulanis are not stained by Buhari incompetence and nepotism? How come Atiku and El rufai are still nursing presidential hopes? How come the entire Fulani nation are not soiled and banned from elective posts in Nigeria looking at how their brothers the Fulani Herdsmen have been leaving footprints of blood from middle belt to lower South? How come that despite Abacha looting the country into dark age, up to the point that we are still receiving his loots today, despite the loots of Gowon until he was kicked out by military junta, despite the loots of IBB and Abdulsalam,all greedy looters whose loots left NIGERIA comatose and whose tradition of looting Buhari has continued, despite all this, the North are not smeared by oil of greed, no one talks about how their greed and incompetence ruined the country. They walk free and continue to nurse ambitions of ruling the country again. It would appear there are two rules in this country. One rule for the Igbo, and a different rule for everyone else. Your hypocrisy stinks. 8 Likes |

VOICEofORIENTAL:The problem started from a radio broadcaster that preaches hate, arrogance and bitterness. This radio broadcaster did not even spared our elders, as he insulted them, beat one up in Germany and called our think tanks ottelectuals. The irony is that the same elders he insulted, threatened and belittled are currently begging the commander in chief to show him mercy. These brainwashed fools are on every nook and crannies attacking everything and everyone, and roping Igbos into their madness. Chukwu aju their Biafra. 2 Likes |

VOICEofORIENTAL:Based on your behaviour and the way you reason, am not sure you are Igbo. If I hear that my brother or sister is at the centre of discussion, the first thing I will do as a reasonable person is to know what made them to be discussing my sis or bro in a bad manner. I will not rush into conclusion by pointing accusing fingers against my bro or sis without deeming it fit to know who is actually at fault. No matter how you want to twist it all I know is that you messed up big time. How can put the blame on Ndigbo when you are supposed to know that there's no smoke without fire. What type of arselicking is that?? Selling your tribe to the enemies (that is if you're truly Igbo) cannot make them to love or trust you. 2 Likes |

izac82: Obi of issele uku and his ilks in Anioma who bring disgrace to Ndiigbo with their Bini servitude and Stockholm syndrome, deserve all insults Ndiigbo are hauling their way and more. You will never see Ndiigbo insult the likes of Obi of Onicha Ugbo, Asagba of Onitsha or Obi of Ogwashi-uku, because these lots don't deny their Igbo heritage with senseless Bini stories that invite expansionist Binis into Aniomaland. Ndiigbo will not grant respect to those who disrespect us with senseless Bini stories. 6 Likes |

Re: Ndigbo: Pride Goes Before A Fall by Nobody: 12:13am On Nov 25, 2021 |
brother man you're right. I am from the Niger delta, and my mother is of the Igbo Ethnic group. of course I am fed up with Nigeria and I do not really believe there will ever be change, so because of that, I wanted we all from the former Eastern region to flag a nation and break apart, I also try to give some of my fellow Ethnic brothers of ijaw reasons we should put more weight with the Igbo ETHNIC group to help break away but it was in this nairaland I changed my mind entirely. *one clown claimed the Nembe tribe was Igbo and speaks Igbo * one claimed there is nothing like ijaw, * another claimed our ancestors were igbos *one claimed the OKOLOMA language of Bonny was Igbo despite a report from Samuel ajayi crowther stating they are two different languages. I can't trust an Igbo man, I admire the way they travel wide and start up business, but once they gain ground there, they'll want to grab that place, for instance Malaysia. I won't be surprised one day an Igbo man will publish a story of how oMAlicha a grand daughter of Nri migrated to Malaysia and that the original name of Malaysia is oMAlicha. y'all are good concorters of stories. 2 Likes |

Re: Ndigbo: Pride Goes Before A Fall by izac82: 7:46am On Nov 25, 2021 |
Ndi Igbo, we really need to go back to our tenet of civilization. One of our basis of existence is dialogue. We were a nation of dialogue and open conversation. Our ancestors were master conversationalist. No wonder, our progenitors christened it ''ekpan nkata'', because civil conversation was an art by itself. How we lost that capacity is still baffling to me. We cannot achieve anything on abuse and insults. You may ague that other groups insult and attack us, but two wrong can never make a right. Present your case with facts, figures and decorum, and I tell you, by stooping low, we will conquer. And I support the OP on this, Oje mba ewe ilo. |

Anonymous15: Cool story bro. Have you ever tried to listen to yourself? Because you sound not so brilliant. Ndiigbo are not even aware that you and your insignificant minority ethnic group exists. Your assessment of us means nothing. Opobo and Bonny speaks Igbo, all colonial visitors there met the people speaking Igbo, and the people speaks Igbo even till today.

izac82: Jee nodu odu nwokem. In international engagement, there is no room for diplomacy and dialogue towards a people who meets you with hate, envy and evil. In international arena, hate must be met with hate, and violence with violence. Ndiigbo will not suffer witches and Wizards to live. Any hate directed towards Ndiigbo by any person or group of people, must be countered with even more hate from Ndiigbo towards such group. 4 Likes |

Igboid:motherfucker I don't care about you or your Ethnic nationality, or your monicker or you at all, and even your reply or wether you know we exist. ofcourse ndigbo knows we exist because we were your slave Masters. your ancestors revered us, and when we bought y'all as slaves, you took names from tribes of the Ijaw Ethnic nation, with reference to your brother mbanaso okwarazurumba taken from Amaigbo, present day IMO state and who accepted the name Jubo jubogha (Jaja of Opobo) and adopted various tribal tongue under the Ijaw nation. you were sold by us for Dane guns, rum, etibo, and canons for our war canoes. below is a written copy of an excerpt from one of the perekule Kings on facts about Bonny to be sent to the British archives TERMINOLOGY FROM KING PEPPLE. Bonny is called OKOLOMA by themselves Bonny is called okoloBA by the ibos osiminikun by the Aboh tribe of ibo new Calabar is called Bom by the ibos king pepple said that Bonny is CHIEFLY PEOPLED by IBO SLAVES though they speak the OKOLOMA or Bonny language which is also the language of new Calabar. I remain Rev and Dear sir your obedient humble servant Samuel crowther that above is the report. you never spoke Igbo when you were bought except now when Everyman is free and ofcourse there are igbos in Bonny BECAUSE Y'ALL LIKE TO ENTER EVERYWHERE UNINVITED but that doesn't mean you own the place mother fucker. OKOLOMA is a clan under ijaw and the British didn't meet any Igbo speaking Igbo, but the OKOLOMA dialect like that report says. you can search for it if you want, believe it or not but I don't care at all nigga. and I won't engage you further. the most I'll do is rename you with an ijaw name like we did your ancestors. 1 Like |

Anonymous15: Ijaw is an inconsequential Ogogoro drinkers who never amounted to anything significant in the past or present. Tell me the most prominent Ijaw man in history? King Jaja? Well Jaja is Igbo and likewise Opobo, which is his personal estate. Ijaws were so inconsequential that Igbos were rulling over you in your lands. Oko Jumbo in Bonny was Igbo, King Pepple was Igbo, Jaja was Igbo, Edi Abali the ancestor of Asari Dokubo who ruled Buguma was Igbo from Abam. That's how inconsequential you are. Ndiigbo don't reckon such a people. Opobo and Bonny remain Igbo speaking. Nothing you or anyone can do about it. 5 Likes |

VOICEofORIENTAL: If Ndigbo were proud and had fallen, why the silly insinuation of pausing? If the quest for self-determination has resulted into being proud and fallen, I had worn it as a pride of honor. It is beyond the rank of human intellect to fight a person whom you hated so much yet would not allow the person split from you. The only crime Ndigbo committed in Nigeria was the leadership they provided in Biafra.
