OfoIgbo:


Na Abakaliki man. What do you expect?

His Excellency David Umar, Ekpa, Chinedu Ogbah e.t.c.

They obviously have no idea it is the sort of behaviour that makes them stick out unnecessarily like a sore thumb.

Everyone knows Tinubu was responsible for that attack on Igbos collecting their PVCs

Angelfrost:
Tomorrow y'all will wonder why other Eastern states treat Ebonyi like outcasts.

Bomboiy:
Ebonyi politicians are shameless, tufiakwa.

Ebubu3:

You have said they are not Igbo, and they have accepted they are not.


Abakaliki will soon be a tribe and indexed in National Archives just like Ikwerre.

I don't know why mejority of Igbo play politics of bitterness, and after election they will claiming they are marginalized.

Angelfrost:


Methinks you are barking up the wrong tree sir!

I have no stake in the matter! Not even an Easterner!

Merely stating a clear observation... It is also worth studying why Ebonyi always chooses to be at variance with their fellow regional states! Curious to know the genesis of this weirdness.

It's all academic curiosity to me, so direct your frustrations elsewhere please!

Ebubu3:


it's a decades long bad blood.


The entire Ebonyi found itself under the Eastern government. The Central Igbo states chose to use Ebonyi land as farmlands alone.

The Ebonyi state share boundaries with Benue so their soil are fertile as theirs. They produced yams, popular Abakaliki rice and what have you.


These were used to feed the populated Igbo central cities and elites without recourse to develop where it comes from.

I remember my father telling me most of the schools around us then were owned by missionaries and rarely established by the Eastern regional government.

No roads, no schools, no hospitals, no scholarships, no infrastructure. Our land was just a massive farmland only good enough for hard labor farming.

The only road that was in Ebonyi, was a road which passed through Abakaliki and from Enugu to Ogoja/Calabar. Yet it was undone, messy, dusty; which led to Dust of the Nation tag.

People died in thousands due to lack of accessible primary health care.

Yet they had temerity to call us uncivlized forgetting they didn't civilize us through education, despite eating from our soil. They called us backward but refused to give us schools to eradicate backwardness. Cholera was a lifestyle. It continued so until 1996 when Abacha joined Ebonyi among list of states to be created.



We started re-writing our own history and working hard to carve out a better future for ourselves in Nigeri.

You want us to go back to Biafra where we will be re-marginalized ?


Hell no! Ekpa is speaking for himself and making money. The good and honest Ebonyians have a better shot at developing with rest of Nigeria at our current pace of development, than joining Biafra and being subsumed as it used to be in the dark days.


Till today, the Fulani of the East tag has not dropped. That is how they will keep on alienating us, to the glory of our State.

Wow! This is an eye opener!

Such a sad and pathetic thing from those who claim to be fighting for liberation. The hypocrisy of it all.

Thank you for the wonderful clarification. It is well!

maestroferddi:
You are becoming a disgrace here...

Akanu Ibiam was the Governor General of Old Eastern Region....He achieved his position under NCNC as led by Azikiwe.

Pius Anyim was both a Senate President and an SSG all in the wake of massive Igbo support.

What has wrong that some misguided elements championed by a confused Umahi now chose to work against Igbo collective intetests!?

You spite your brother to make our haters happy?

If you have four brothers and all you do is to antagonize your brothers to make the enemies of your family happy, what should we brand in Igbo culture and tradition?

OfoIgbo:


The actions of the current governor David Umar, suggests they don't wanna be Igbo.

No one is begging them to be Igbo.
I am an Anambra man, and proud of my Igboness.

Ebubu3:


tell your brothers to stop calling Abakaliki man and Ndi Ebonyi by extension, OSU let us start from there.

Note this social and cultural (not political), cancelling of the Ebonyi people long preceded Dave Umahi so don't report that it is due to antics of Dave Umahi.


Tell your people to stop ridiculing Ebonyi/Abakaliki man with outcaste and Fulani tags and we will start our reconciliation from there.
