alex101: I don't see the need for all these long back and forth. We should learn to respond in kind,,,SIMPLE. If a yoruba uses "Ibo" to address me in his post, I respond to him using terms like "Yoruba, Yoruba, Yoruba, Yoruba, yerubi, yoribea, et.al".

Odenigbo Aroli:

You are one hell of a compulsive BIGOT; So,because you came to nairaland and ran into few Igbo that brag about their deeds you instantly concludes that we are boastful and for that reason we should never rule Nigeria. What a nutcase! How about all the Igbo intelligencia that Obasanjo and Goodluck has used to reform our economy,which the North and Southwest ran to the ground after their victory in the civil war. Why did your government invite people like Akunyili,Obi,Stella Oduah,Okonjo,Soludo,Ezekwesili,Arunma,Barth Nnaji and co to come save your wretched government? Let me tell you block head something....When the time comes for an Igbo man to rule this country he will do so and do it excellently just like our technocrats has been doing. Yorubas come here everyday and brag about how they are the most educated and the richest and I guess your aging eyes didn't see that but for some reason same eyes manage to see when an Igbo brags about his business prowess. I thought you were somewhat intelligent but I didn't realize I was interacting with a blind fool..fu..ck off! You don't decide!

Andre Uweh:
Igbo and Ibo are not correct. It is Igbo. As you are known as Aribisala0 in this forum, it will not be proper to insult you by spelling your id as Arigbisala0. Ndigbo have made it known since 1973 v that it is Igbo. This was done through the Society for the Promotion of Igbo Language and Culture (SPILAC),a body set up for the promotion of Igbo language and culture. It is nice you mentioned Prof Achebe using Ibo earlier but he and others have stopped that since ages. Am sure you don't write Gold Coast now instead of Ghana, Upper Volta instead of Bukina Faso or Bombay instead of Mumbai.
As a matter of respect, type Igbo instead of Ibo, am sure this is not hard.

ACM10: Andrew Uweh commented on Igbo - Ibo controversy. But I'm having a hard time locating the comment where he quoted a source.

Yoruba_Omoge: Can I still use Ibhoe?

I find that spelling sexy

manny4life:

I don't even know why this is even a topic of contention, it's like using the n-word, the blacks don't mind using the word amongst themselves but if you ain't black and you use it, let's see how they'll react to you. Why because it's offensive to them (though it has a history), same applies. Whether Prof Achebe used it or not, I would hold it against him unlike others. The Nigerian Govt has adopted it, why can people respect it? I believe a word is enough for the wise.

OAM4J:

NO.

@ ALL

In the interest of peace and for avoidance of derogatory attempt doubt, let the South Easterners people be referred to and called Igbo on Niaraland Politics Section. It is only a 5 letter word, not hard to type.

The South Westerners should also be referred to and called Yoruba and not any other name.

Thanks.

Guy sometimes you behave like a child. We are still waiting for you to answer when the adoption happened and you just continue making stuff up.Nigerian government accepted what where and when There is no parallel with the N word none whatsoever and this so called offence is new and idiosyncratic next you will bring gay and lesbian into it and say its like the H word don't call me Homo call me Gay . You cannot ram a personal choice down everyone's throats . No generally recognized Ibo body has made this an issue otherwise it won't be a secret. If you (IBO NATION)request people Formally to change they will.But this is a very minute number of people trying to force everyone to adopt their view and there has been no unanimous decisions by Ibos just a few who think they know more than everyone.
Why continue to spell Enugu instead of Enugwu

What you are involved in is a corrective campaign which I have no quarrel with.But you are going about it the wrong way. Ibo cam into existence before you were born and will probably outlive you. If you want it to die.First unite Igbos around that cause and give it time. These things take time. Lifetimes that is. Educate young minds who don't know and wait for those who can't learn to die or kill them all

omonnakoda: have you been banned?

Obiora4life:

YES, I have been banned again.
