Wow the city is big can you imagine in just two years they've attracted 45 businsees to set up base in the area and now all i'm waiting for is the commercial and business areas to start coming up, Alaro city should have dozens of spectacular low rises spread across the width and breadth of the city

BKayy:
You claim to know your history and to an extent that of Ndigbo but a lady from Ndokwa East (which your Aboh is the HQ) is proving beyond Reasonable doubt here that both You and her are Isoko and all you can do is attempt to sabotage what Ndigbo have worked for over the years.
Mtcheww, Nwokem go and sit down one place let's enjoy this lady's submission

You realize that different areas can have different people living within them right? And that different ethnic groups can be within a single LGA? If you don't know this then you're an idiot becaus that should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about Nigeria, Delta State has 5 major ethnic groups including Igbo, Urhobo, Isoko, Itsekiri and Ijaw and where i'm from Aboh is an igbo community

Roan77:
Reading is different from understanding.
You can read, but can not understand what you read.

When I said read I meant to say read and understand it well it is only when you bring in actual words from other languages that they get confused

BKayy:
Abohboy you hear am?
I don't know what made you think you can deceive us with Igbo sounding names.
See your sister being truthful to everybody

Why would she matter to me? Also by this your logic the communities being claimed in Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Iboma and it's environs aren't actually Igbo that they just happen to speamm the language but are Isoko or Ijaw I hope you know you're working against the will of every other Igbo person here. Us Ndokwa, Ukwuani, Bonny, Agbor etc. ARE ALL IGBOS

Roan77:
No, a non Nigerian can never understand that pidgin English written there bro.

But they can I have British friends who can read Pidgin english if it's just with things like e, oh, dey etc

Wow. The new video rendevour put up of alaro city is breath taking. I know I argued that tatu city and alaro city are the same thing some while back.

The truth is that the people at alaro looked at tatu and made improvements. I also noticed that bike lanes are not present at tatucity. And the road where the main boulevard road is only a two lane rosd. While that at alaro is a four lane road.

Post the video here please

jl115:
Where is our resident Village id0it @saddamochieng00??

Took this on my flight to Joburg yesterday does that look flat to you?

Oh your back

kmcutez:
I’m a female. Why should I lie?

I'm saying Bkkay saying that Ndokwa are Bini i'm 100% sure that we are Igbo people

seyicodes:
I pray God show you the right path because I see you really want to serve God.

The truth is even Devil knows that the true religion is Islam.

The truth is Mohammed wanted power, the devil doesn't exist and Jesus was likely just a prophet none of the Abrahamic religions will deliver us only way is with our traditional religions I rest my case

Righteousness2:
This is the World Earthquake report for the year 2021. The magnitude 3 and below is not at as a month ago.

Magnitude 8+ >> 3 Earthquakes
Magnitude 7+ >> 12Earthquakes
Magnitude 6+ >> 95 Earthquakes
Magnitude 5+ >> 1524
Magnitude 4+ >> 9450
Magnitude 3+ >> 2223
Magnitude 2+ >> 4941

If you do not see that this is "Earthquakes in Diverse Places" JESUS Said will signal His Coming then you must Deceiving yourself

I Firmly Believe GOD is about Judge this world, and I Believe HE has called me to be a Watchman for the People. If I fail to warn you, your Blood will be required on my Hand.

Listen Folks!! The RAPTURE is Imminent! These are the Last of the Last Moments.
Quit Nonessentials
Quit arguments
Settle your relationship with JESUS Christ now you Have the Opportunity.
What is Coming on this Not Palatable.
Escape for your Life! Escape to JESUS Christ

This is the same thing they said in 2012, same thing they said when Japan's tsunamis hit, same thing they said when Krakatoa happened, same thing they said when war with Rome was imminent in ancient Egypt the rapture isn't close and will 100% not happen in any of our lifetimes

kmcutez:
I did not know that. I stayed in Lagos most of my life.

He;s lying Ndokwa are Igbo through and through we even speak the language

Fernandeswagger:
Your list is flawed.

I didn't look at all ethnic groups I just took some to show Urhobo aren't the 5th largest and your list continually proves that

DubaiLandLord:
You're wrong, there is no way Fulanis will be ahead of Nupes and Binis.

There's 10 million Bini and 5 million Nupe meanwhile Buhari has been able to increase the Fulani population in Nigeria from 6 million to 13 million

Bros why you dey come lie like this sef e no good for ur health na

Hausa
Yoruba
Igbo
Tiv
Fulani
Nupe
Bini
Urhobo

That is the order they aren't the 5th largest anything

Kobojunkie:
We had our own math system, inventions, scripts too? Where?

Our existence before the foreign invasion was progressive and peaceful? When?

If we don't return to our traditional religions we will never return to our past glory of indigenous ingenuity and progress? Do you have any evidence to back up these past glories you speak of?

Scripts: Aniocha Script, Nsibidi, Odu Ifa ( Although not necessarily a script it was a list of lines which represented information like words )

Maths: How do you build roads, houses or boats without maths or science it would simply collapse and the yoruba numeric system is built on 20 multiplication rules instead of 10.

Inventions: I don't think I have to list this google is free


These were all built on the back of local knowledge since then how many things have we done independently? Not only that but it allows us to see our history and culture in new light someone has already come and said we had no shoes and clothes when this is false we had thriving textile factories and shoe factories

TAO11:
(1) Great inputs on Èṣù.

(2) As regards Ènìyàn and Èèyan, it is exactly one and the same word.

Linguistic devices such as contraction as well as elision abounds in Yoruba language too.

The syllable “nì” is elided&replaced with an elongation of the first syllable “E” but with the tone of the second.

Also, Egúngún (masquerade) is also Eégún. Also, Òrìṣà (deity) is also Òòṣà.

The same linguistic principle of elision and elongation applies, and there are almost innumerable examples.

Having said that, the word Ẹ̀dá (with which he prefixed Èèyan) simply signifies “creature” or “being”.

So, Ènìyàn (human) ⇔ Ẹ̀dá-Èèyan (human being).

(3) Lastly, Ènìyàn or Èèyan is, at the end of the day, just one way of saying “human” in Yoruba language.

See attached for other dialectal variations of the same word in the Yoruba language.

Reference: Akinwunmi Ogundiran, “The Yoruba: A New History,” Indiana University Press, (2020), p. 34 of the e-book.

Cheers.

This is why I love Niger-Congo Languages when i'm done with my studies I should really start learning Yoruba and Igbo again I tried last year but it didn't go too far.

Adamgeneral12:
There is something that make us run from our ancestors way of religion.

What was it?

If you can find what it is, is then you will know maybe you can convince us or not.

In some areas it was persecution, in others fear of demonization ( trade embargo ) threatened by the British and for others they thought it would serve them better then their traditional religions but for the most part people at the time practised both it is only their children and grandchildren that practice one.

Tony3245:
A long overdue debate

Indeed

deekseen:
Anything just to paint Christianity (and the other one) black.

Countries practicing indigenous religions and those of other faiths have excelled and failed at different times in history.

Today you live in better houses, wear better clothes and can easily move around the world. What did your ifa do all the dark years of your ancestors in the forest wearing animal skin with no shoes?

It took people from other practices to help your ancestors discover themselves and write their history, while they were busy instilling fear and placing a covering cast over their descendants.

Religion is not the problem of the world, neither is it the problem of Africa. The whites have discovered this and have achieved great things. Descendants of ifa have refused to question their god why it can't help them like the gods of the Chinese and the Indians.

See the views foreign religion and culture have brought we had shoes and we had cotton cloth made enmasse some cloths made in Kano even made it to Venice and Barcelona we had a lot of things, the whites are giving up on religion meanwhile us Africans are becoming religious our old religion if it didn't give results was given up and went to other solutions or deities for help and if it really didn't work they just worked hard but today people will pray for their whole lives without seeing anything wrong until we either become atheistsor switch back to our traditional religions we will see no progress,


Descendants of Ifa question everything and notice how they don't go to pray every single day for blessings they rarely ever pray they only go for unique circumstances I have a friend who's a babalawo and he says the only way to riches is work but for christians and muslims they believe it's prayers.

SlayerForever:
Are you not on board?

I am but financially not sure if I can support the movement for now

Across the world the most prosperous people are those who held onto their culture whether it be the Chinese, The Koreans, The Indians, The British, The Japanese but for whatever reason in Africa day by day we continue to lose our culture and our religion to foreigners and it si slowly becoming clear that we're suffering from an inferiority complex and are in a state of mental slavery and unless we turn things around the next few decades will only become worse and worse for us Africans the only way is to return to our Traditional Religions like Ifa, Odinani and Maguzawa our existence before these foreign religions came was progressive and peaceful we had our own math systems, inventions, scripts and until we return to our traditional religions we will never return to our past glory of indigenous ingenuity and progress.

BKayy:
In your case, Bini.

We no longer fall for your tricks

So Chukwuemeka is now a Bini name wonders will never end

BKayy:
You mean the one that considers himself of "Deltan" ethnicity?
His popular slogan is "Deltan to the core"
Are you sure you know the guy at all?

I believe I have clarified you without being more direct.
Both of una and una land are not needed.
Thank you

I asked a question so answer it is his name and heritage Igbo or Bini or Both

Ariani:
If Okujagu people don't consider themselves Igbo, they wouldn't have preserved the language as their mother tongue despite the immense anti Igbo campaign Hausa-Fulanis working with their Ijaw counterparts carried out in Rivers State!

They will not come forward to proclaim their Igbo tag now, because they see no strong pillar/leadership in SE to help them weather the storm that such move can generate.

You saw how spineless Ohanaeze Ndiigbo led by Nwodo went to PH to laugh and eat with Wike after Wike killed hundreds of Igbos of Obiigbo native. There was no repercussions or punishment for Wike, because the Igbo leadership is non existent.


That's the fate that awaits any Igbo group in that hate filled state that dare stand out!

If they know we have a capable, well financed with powerful worldwide connections Igbo leadership/organization in SE to keep the Igbophobes around them at Bay, they would come out!

Our problem has been basically lack of real Igbo nationalistic movement since Igbo state Union died in 1966!

IPoB is more interested in licking the buttocks of Igbophobic minorities in bid to build their Utopia Multi ethnic Biafra, the Igbos in SS know that IPOB is useless to their plight, IPoB.

Ohanaeze Ndiigbo is more of congregation of hungry retired old men looking for patronage from politicians. They are of no use to anyone.

There is a big leadership vaccum in Igboland that has been gaping since 1966.
Only a well financed Igbo nationalist movement, will fill it and only then will Ndiigbo return to high pedestal we once occupied, when all Okorie from Benua to Sagbama (Osekwenike) would proudly proclaim his Igbo origin knowing that should anyone try any nonsense, he would have a solid backup in SE leadership that would raise hell!

How do you propose such a movement is formed and how quickly would it happen?

BKayy:
You are Aboh
You are half Bini man and you are not Igbo.
Leave us alone.
I ga ajụ ngiga jụkwa icha na ụzọ?

Uti Chukwuemeka from Big Brother Naija is he Igbo or Bini or Both please answer that question then get back to me

SlayerForever:
For the sake of staying anonymous and avoiding infiltration and interference, correspondence will be strictly over mail.

I will cc all who are members with updates on projects, funding, proposals etc etc.

This is good news I wish you luck with everything

This is great news i'm sure that there are many Igbo communities along the border of Aba and Cross River State and even around Calabar the Aro were too strong and influential for those vast areas to be left untouched very soon all the Igbos will be united from Kogi, to Benue, to Delta, To Rivers, To Bayelsa, To Cross River and back to the South East

BKayy:
Still trying to pitch Ndigbo against those that accept themselves in Western Igboland but I pass you.

Have you noticed that when Ndigbo stopped paying attention to you people, Ikwerre and Ika there has been tremendous progress in the bond between Ndigbo?

But like witches, you people manage to invent ways to attach yourselves to Ndigbo with the sole motive of pulling us down like you are doing here.
You tried Ubani and Opobo and it didn't work, now Anioma.
My dear be specific. We don't want that part of Anioma that you are from.
If you don't know your original name, ask anyone in your street that was born before 1951

But seriously, why our progress dey pepper you people (You, Ikwerre and Ika)?

WE ARE ANIOMA AND WE ARE ABOH PEOPLE AND WE ARE IGBO PEOPLE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT,

Ariani:
Yes! Okirika are separate from Bonny and Opobo.
I'm just reminding you and Ijaws that we also have legitimate claims in places like Okirika and Brass, but might not press it if they respect themselves and stay off Opobo and Bonny.

But if they don't, we will surely take Opobo and Bonny by military strength or at the world court (historical documents are in our favour), and we will not stop there, we will go deep into Brass, Okirika and even Sagbama ( Osekwenike) and Yenegoa (Ekepye) and lay claim to Igbo footprints there as well! We will be ruthless and when we are done, Izons will be reduced to minority among other Minorities

It would be akin to how Cross River lost all her oil Wells to Akwa ibom by trying to lay claim to Akwaibom oil Wells, only for Akwaibom to turn the table around, won the case and went for Cross River oil Wells and won them as well.

Ijaws would be well advised to hands off Opobo and Bonny!

Brass, Opobo and Bonny all have Igbo populations the other areas you mentioned the inhabitats there likely don't consider themselves Igbo so any attempt in that regard will be futile

This is Bishop Crowther Memorial Anglican Church ( BCM )...Aboh.... My home church ...
It is the oldest church in southern Nigeria...and one of the oldest in Nigeria...
It was founded in 1841..
Aboh was the very place Bishop Crowther and his team first anchored ..
.
Aboh is the headquarters of Ndokwa east local government of Delta State....
Proudly an Igbo town...with very rich cultural heritage...
The very first town the Portuguese had contact with...and did business with....infact...the Portuguese once thought that Obi Ossai...the Obi of Aboh kingdom was the king of all Igbos....and they thought rightly because... Obi Ossai wielded so much power then... He was a super King....
Aboh was then the glory of the entire Igbo nation..

Ariani:
What is Anioma?
Don't deceive yourself.

You are Ukwuani/Ndokwa.

Anioma is a Political Union and not a tribe.

In OGIDI we do receive Delta TV Asaba , and they broadcast their news in IKa, Ukwuani and Enuani independently those days.

Moreover, a typical Ukwuani/Ndokwa person don't even subscribe to the Anioma Political Union.
Anioma is more of IKa and Enu-ani driven!

Enuani are the people we know in Delta North.
The rest of you should go pick your cloth where you took your baths.

Anioma are a union of the Ukwuani, Ndokwa, Ika and Enuani go and read on Wikipedia or anywhere else

I don't agree with everything stated in the link below especially the view that the Aboh are from Benin because why would they speak Igbo, hold Igbo festivals and even venerate Igbo deities if they were from Benin anyways the first sentence is all that matters in this link
