O.K, I have contacted you via nairaland, delete Andrew from that list of yours.

NRI PRIEST: Buuullsh..it..When Yaradua got sick and was flown abroad for treatment and Jonathan isn't even aware of what's going and the northern cabals led by Aadonaka the chief justice seized the power and relegated Jonathan to the back door it was an Igbo woman Dora Akunyili that fought the north and moved a motion for Jonathan to be installed as the interim President. She received insult from the north for fighting for your toothless kinsmen and you dare insult Igbo after all the support and block votes we gave to your son Let me tell you nonentities something;Ijaw is a toddler when it comes to political tussle...Rejoice while you can...the Igbo are your superiors and will always be...Your treachery will be addressed with due time....let's see how far you go...fuuucking charcoal looking shoeless fedora wearing drunkards....cultureless bastards...I see you lots feel like its time for you to open your ogogoro mouth to speak to your superiors....with two million population let see what becomes of your future...Remember we are right there on top of you..eediots!

@The OP, IT IS SHOCKING TO INCLUDE MY NAME IN THAT LIST OF YOURS. Please delete my name soonest.

musiwa7: obi of abuja, obi of kano, obi of kaduna, obi of sokoto, obi of makudi,obi of yola, of maiduguri,obi of jigwa, obi of minna..etc..

So what is your point war monger. There are no hostilities between Benin and Asaba, yet you have sworn with Amadioha to cause a rift where none exists. Stop it boy.

El Gupo

ezeagu: I don't understand these articles, they suggest that the Igbo are actually doing worse than everybody else. Why doesn't everyone worry about their own people instead of writing essays about how the next group "are their own worst enemies", especially when you're group aren't exactly doing to well economically, socially, or politically either.

Notice how these essays are always about one particular group.

Seconded

ikooko: Moral of Biafran war :
1- never go to war without your bag full of bread.
2- never depend on your enermy for your strength.
3- don't start what you cannot finish.

Is now that you have got some Mb to chat. You only join a thread when the heat was off. Only cowards do so.

NRI PRIEST: P

Are mentally sick ?? Which Bini are you refering to?? How did Bini manage to own Asaba land...The Oba of Bini can only claim ownership of Bini city and not the whole of Edo talk more of Anioma. You are a complete re.tard.

Musiwa enjoys spreading falsehood. He has never been to Igboland before just like some of his Yoruba kins in nairaland.

Rossikk: A DAMNING INDICTMENT.

It's something I've always wondered about. Igbos keep harping on about how they were massacred but till today the Igbo man loves the northerner to bits. Ojukwu came back from exile and the first thing he did was join NPN, the biggest northern party of the time. Next thing you know he was pallying with Babangida and co.

Ojukwu was pardoned and assisted to return from exile by the NPN led govt of Nigeria. It was a gentlemanly agreement betweeen him and the govt of Shagari/Ekwueme.
Biafra had ceased to exist prior to his return to Nigeria and he returned to Nigeria. He has to pally with Nigerians and not Malians, Togolese etc. What is wrong with that?.

Obi of Agbor, Obi of Kwale, Obi of Akumazi, Obi of Onitsha, Obi of Ogba, Obi of Oguta.
Eze of Aro, Eze of Rebisi, Eze of Elele, Eze of Owerri, Eze of Ibe etc.
Gini big deal.

My vote goes to Gbawe. He is not tribalistic and has never been. He even kicks against tribalists from his ethnicity. He is very creative unlike some people who lack creativity and only copy and paste from other people's work.
Gbawe, may your reign continue.

Abagworo: We are all saying the same thing. There was river Niger before Mongo Park but different sections knew it with different names. Igbos knew it as Orinmili or Orinmiri in their section while others have different names for it. At the end of the day, it was christened Niger river and we all accepted it. That does not in anyway mean that Niger is the real name because we still call it Orinmiri.

2ndly before the Whitemen, we didn't know the source and never heard of anywhere called "Futa Jalon" or any River called Niger.

The Niger is too long and extensive. An Aboh man or Idah man on the bank of the Niger might not have travelled through the Niger up to Mali and Guinea. But within Igboland, there were inter-group relations and these groups wih similar languages and culture for sure knew that they are one group-Igbo, except those who lack exposure.

Abagworo: Some people think that saying or writing about it is detrimental to Igbo unity.

Not really, but it is not believable that the British came to Nigeria and all of a sudden we became Igbo. The Colonial masters already knew about the Igbo existence and Ndigbo who have travelled far and wide knew about other Igbo people around them with same language The key factor is awareness.
Even in todays Alaigbo, An Igbo from Isinweke who hasn't travelled out of Isinweke for all his life will find it difficult to know about Ovim people and Ovim community. He may think they are not Igbo. But if informed, ideas will be different.

Abagworo: Dede'm Andre I wetarala'm ezigbo omuma atu iji kowatara unu ihe anyi na rurita. Africa as a people was also a creation made by non-Africans. Prior to coming of whitemen we didn't call ourselves Africans even though we knew we were black. It is same scenario we had in different ethnic groups across Africa. In some instances the fusion of people worked while it failed among others. For example the Efik/Ibibio/Annang could not be merged and called "Mmonu" or "Kwa". Same with Bini and Esan accepting to be one Edo despite having similar culture and mutual intelligibility. That thing worked mainly among Igbos and Yorubas but the Igbo had a crack after the war which weakened the bond.

Udo diri gi nwannem.
Aghotaram ihe idere. There were inter-clan relations prior to the coming of the whitemen. These clans did not require interpreters to carry out their activities with other clans. Hence an Obowu man knows that an Nkwere man he is dealing with is his brother because they speak a common language. So is it possible for the these two mentioned clans not know that they are Igbo despite the fact one is Obowu and another is Nkwere?. Am sure they know that both of them are Igbo despite the fact, there was no central king that lorded it over them.

ChinenyeN: Ochi lei. And for good reason. How can I allow such a character to continually disseminate lies, in the name of "Igbo"?

There is no need for your continous use of harsh language here. He is not in any way disseminating lies. This topic is debatable and if you not agree on what he debated is not enough to label it as lies.
@Topic, we were Africans before the whitemen arrived, isn't it?. But how many of us know that we we were Africans?. How many of us knows about other Africans eg. Zulus, Mandigoes, Wolofs, Ndebeles, Abysinians etc. If an Igbo from Obowu does not know about an Igbo from Nsukka does not mean that Igbo does not exist before the whitemen came.
There were Igbo prior to colonialism, Igbo is not a colonial creation, never. I may be wrong but it should be debated as intellectuals and not as omatas.
