Sometimes I feel like I am alone in this part of the world,nobody thinks like me or have guts like I do its very depressing.why am I writing This? I notice the average Nigerian is not ready to risk anything for the better of his counrty, No spirit of nationalism ,No patriotism just riddled with fear of losing his life and yet he still dies untimely because of poverty .

I have taken my time to study prosperous nations and I noticed they payed a huge and bitter price for the freedom and prosperity they enjoy ,Americans fought a bloody with Britain to gain its independence.there was a huge revolution in France and many European countries and today we travel to these countries to enjoy their sweat and blood while ours lie in desolate .

The average Nigerian is afraid to do anything to better his life and land.let secede in peace No ,Let force our government to restructure No,let stage a revolrevolution to overthrow this blood thirsty government No ,what's his excuse he doesn't want to die,When someone who is brave enough takes the lead the leave him behind to face the music alone e.g sowore,Nnamdi kanu . Am speechless as hell .

Behold my country

Bro truth to God, I am about to open a thread to address this issue.

If you use your 99 you will realize that people who hate ndigbo are opening threads or saying things that will be used to bash ndigbo here.

That was how one of them said "an igbo man can't allow his pregnant wife to work. It is only Yorubas that allow their pregnant wives to work"

Bro, you need to see how nairalanders were making reasonable contributions, on how the country will move forward. As the contributions were going on, one mischief maker posted that nonsense and people here switched from the topic to firing insults at ndigbo.

Being an Igbo is not easy, but I give you my word that it won't take so much time before things start going well for us.

Whenever I check the chinese who went from nothing to something, in the 20th century, I put my body and soul together, because this things we(ndigbo) are experiencing in this country won't last long.

About who is and who is not Igbo, I think it is time we southeasterners accept it that it is stupid to be dragging people who have come out in the open to say that the are not Igbo.

Biafra will come, but it will begin and end in southeast.

To the southeasterners, here, haters here are succeeding in making trouble for us, because you are predictable.

When someone, here say "an Igbo made this hate filled post" every one here will believe it because you are known to be posting things like that. But, when they will accuse let say tribe A or B of making the hate filled post, no one will believe it.

Umunna, I believe I have said something reasonable here.

Keep on hustling positively and stay healthy to witness that day, the Creator will set aside us.

Isssseeeee nwannem.

Truth be told if you partner is a cheat or is likely to cheat you will know instinctively from their but it's just that must of most of us ignore the red flags because the love we have for that person will blind us a partner that will cheat always leave clues but its only if you are smart you will be able to pick them.
1)For example you are dating a lady that doesn't allow you see her phone chats it is over protective of her phone and you guys just joke about it you have foolishly ignored the most obvious red flag ever.

2)a partner who deletes chats before giving you his/ her phone is also a great sign of cheating.

3)a partner who delays before picking you calls whenever they are far from you is a chronic cheat.

Riverville:
Pls, Anioma is not Igbo. Anioma is a political union of Ukwuani, Aniocha and Ika/Agbor. I am an Ukwuani man from Utagba uno. Am not Igbo, neither am I Aniocha or Ika. Anioma was formed by the people of Delta north senatorial district.

The fact that the Igbo are claiming Anioma and ikwerre people are Igbo have an underground motive. If you want us to forge a union together to achieve a common goal, let it be clear and don't try to dominate and divide us.

It's not by force to be Igbo, we are ukwani people not Igbo. Though our language are kind of similar and we have some similar names. ( Note these names may look the same when they are spelled, but have different pronunciation). If you want us to follow your agenda let's sit and talk and call it Igbo/Anioma/ikwerre. Don't cause division among us, you can't just take us and put us under you as Igbo nation. That was why when the Aniocha/ Ukwuani and Ika people wanted to create a union, the choose a different name (Anioma). Ukwuani people can not tell the Ika man that he his kwale. Pls the Igbo should take note. Stop telling us we are igbos. If you want to create a union, bring the offer to the table. Let's discuss it within our selves. And it pays us, we may decide to join under conditions. But not as Igbo

What is your name sir?

They wouldn't dare :3

They have killed millions In Jos is ikwere up to a million

Liliantalks:
We are one but concerning Biafra , I no Dey o.

Cowards

liberalchick:
We also wished he didn’t. Thousands of innocent Asaba young men and little boys wouldn’t have died for a war or a cause they pledged no allegiance to. Ojukwu got to live out his natural years, same can’t be said for the Asaba victims.

Indeed ..

EmmaNuella77:
It doesn't change what I said

ikwerre is tiny land fulani can wipe out of existence In just 30minutes nothing will happen.

EmmaNuella77:
I am from ikwerre and I'm not Igbo. I refuse to be Igbo. Abi na by force.? Ehnnnn OP.?!. Smh

Nobody needs ikwrre it is landlocked and after corona virus ends oil will be useless sm h.

liberalchick:
OP please know your history. Biafrans invaded and occupied the region. They installed Igbo army generals to control the region. They needed that region to take the fight to Lagos. The region was not consulted and no allegiance was given. Biafrans were defeated at Ore, they retreated and blew up the bridge, essentially trapping Asaba people with the invading Nigerian troops. The massacre that ensued is the fault of Biafra and the Nigerian troops.

ANIOMA is not Igbo. We have a very different culture and lifestyle, “Delta Igbo” is a misnomer. Unfortunately, our fathers were not proud of our heritage so they gave their kids Igbo names to blend with a dominant culture. ANIOMA people have their own first names. We have names like and they sound nothing like Igbo.
Anupu, Isama, Otunniya, Okwanuzor, Isicheri, Okwubiri, Ebinum, Egwenum, Osanebi, Ossai etc

Most ANIOMA languages and Igbo is not even mutually intelligible.

Some Languages in ANIOMA have Benin in them, phenotypically, ANIOMA look nothing like the Igbos, also River Niger would have made it much more difficult for the migratory trend to have been from the east. After migration and later trading is responsible for the Igboid in the ANIOMA group of languages.

Hmmm so river is now an obstacles for migration when some tribes have climbed rugged mountains to migrate ok no one is forcing you to be Igbo good luck I am just pained Ojukwu went to war because of an anioma man named kaduna nzeogwu.we don't need you guys you guys are labdlocked

jericco1:
Well Delta is not Igbo

You are not in the position to decide you are a nobody let the elites decide.

jericco1:
I am ika and I am not Igbo go kill yourself

Who needs you ika a landlocked tiny fraction of delta state with no access to the sea mtchewww

mrvitalis:
Who cares ...their loss ...igbos are complete we have everything we need ...access to sea , natural resources ...most importantly human resources ,fertile land , underground clean water....bro we need no one ...they need us

By the time ijaws marginalize them in niger Delta republic like old rivers state ...they would run begging

Where do we have access to the sea? It's not clear.

spiritmasquerad:
The borrowed language of igboid

Oooh no ..where did did you ancestors migrate from?

spiritmasquerad:
Am anioma and when u open a book or luk at our culture it is clear to see. No more would people with inferiority complex bring us down so suck that spite back into ur stomach. Nonsense

I have a question where do aniomas come from?

spiritmasquerad:
Go and check any pre almagametion map no part of delta state was part of biafra that why ojukwu stabbed us in the back that is the history we will not allow repeat because we will not be dragged into what is not our business again

Did ojukwu drag anioma into war?

spiritmasquerad:
We are trying to break free of that inferiority complex by reminding our people who we are and were we come to us using this borrowed laguague

I am sure you are ikwere This is shear stupidity you claim your guys are from Benin but have no trace of Benin in your langue and culture all Igbo but you will see yorubas as far as go go and Brazil still retaining traces of Yoruba cultures .
spits

spiritmasquerad:

Ojukwu never dragged you in to the war . I blame him for plunging the whole Igbo race into war because of the death of an anioma man named kaduna nzeogwu.

[quote author=spiritmasquerad post=89294834]I knew it only when ipob member need help they remember us it is funny. You want to teach us our history abi[/quote
You don't know your history we don't even need you we are just marvelled at your inferiority complex how you allowed the white man and the hausa/fulani to brainwash you.

gwafaeziokwu:
Why are you bothered about someone's identity crisis. Pick a book on the civil war and keep yourself busy. After then you might understand the politics of identity in Nigeria.

Not everyone is as mentally strong as the south east Igbos in the face of mockery,marginalisation and all sorts of evil things thrown at a people to break them. Some igboid groups got broken at a point. We can't really blame them. A lot of them, especially as the older generation that witnessed things first hand are taking their exit, is having a rethink.

Igbos are a proud race although with deep affection for "Nwanne", my brother. We will relate with the ones that answer "Nwanne " and leave those who want to chart their own path. It's called freedom.

Yes brother what if biafra secedes tomm orow and aniomas and ikwerre are left behind and they get persecuted or massacred for their Igbo identity how will you feel just talking out of brotherly love though

SLAP44:
WARNING! !!

It's not everyone who opens a thread to lambast Anioma and Ikwerre that is Igbo. So many northerners and south west People Now open threads with Igbo sounding monikers just to attract hate to Igbos. This what joblessness under this regime has reduced them to.

Be guided.!

I am Igbo from imo state I just hate the fact that Igbos outside the southeast deny their Identity I am an ipob member.

mrvitalis:
Shut up ....igbos are Igbos ... anyone who says they are not igbos should be allowed . ..there are still many igbos in Rivers State outside ikwerre ... enough of this rubbish post

Igbo is the supreme tribe in Nigeria we beg no one to join us

I doubt if Igbos in rivers state accept they are igbos

gwafaeziokwu:
This one just graduated from Romance class to join in the self-service feast.

If you want to write an opinion at least make it comprehensible

Or are you just an alternate moniker resurrected to provoke Igbo hate on Nairaland



Watching. ..........

Not really I just want all Igbo speaking tongues to unite I went to portharcourt in 2014 to my surprise ikwerres deny they are not Igbos but best Igbo name's.

There is a popular saying that if you fail to learn from history it is bound to repeat itself.most delta Igbos and ikwerres do not consider themselves Igbos I laugh and laugh I think they tend to forget what what in 1967 when Nigerian troops massacred them in asaba you are claiming you are not Igbos but the Hausa/fulanis know it's not true you guy near Igbo name's like AMAKA,Ngozi,Chidi,ugochukwu and the rest .don't be fooled other Nigerian tribes know those are Igbos name's that's why they massacred you guys in 1967 even though you guys denied your Igbo identity all my saying if Igbos manage to secede from this zoo called Nigerian you guys will suffer if you fail to join biafra because you will be considered enemies of the state because you share Similarities with the Igbo race a word is enough for the wise bye.
